The 17th Annual Golden Apple Awards ceremony was held at the Radisson Hotel & Con-ference Center on April 21. The ceremony was sponsored by the Partners in Education, which is a program of the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce. Over 500 people attended the event.

Katie Titler and Tracy Wiede-man were Pulaski’s Golden Apple Award winners this year. Titler is a Spanish teacher at Pulaski High School and Wiedeman is a second grade teacher at Glenbrook El-ementary.

“Students are even more engaged in my classes,” said Titler. “My hope is student learn-ing in other classrooms will also improve sharing of this innova-tive and effective strategy for learning.”

“By working on social think-ing skills, students feel safe. Less time is spent on discipline and more time on teaching,” said Wi-edeman.

Along with Titler and Wi-edeman receiving awards, other Pulaski School District teachers attended because they received

By Kat JohnsonPEEP is the 4k program for

the Pulaski School District. PEEP stands for Pulaski Early Educa-tion Partnership. This is a pre-school program which provides a play-based, developmentally appropriate learning experience for our districts for four year old learners. PEEP sites are found all around the Pulaski School Dis-trict from our elementary schools to daycare centers. The PEEP program has been a wonderful ad-dition to the school district.

Deanne Wilinkski, Principal of Assumption BVM Catholic School and a PEEP supervisor, said, “ I believe that the program was so successful this year because of the year long planning process to offer such a program. Another key to PEEP success was developing the partnerships with the seven PEEP sites, and the regular, ongoing planning that occurs between all of them.”

Debi Snyder, Polka Tots PEEP, jumped at the idea when she re-ceived a letter from the school district two and a half years ago stating that they were considering starting a 4K in the near future. They invited all interested com-munity sites to be as involved as we want to be. She decided at the first meeting that she wanted to be a part of PEEP and be involved in the process from the ground up.

Lezlee Klaus with Building Blocks Child Development said, “The dedicated team that we have truly wants the best for our dis-trict. All teachers work together to ensure that all of the district four year olds are getting the same fantastic programming.”

The PEEP program is open to all who are age four by September 1 each year and is designed for the one year preceding, a five year old kindergarten. The PEEP program is three hours and ten minutes per day, Monday through Thursday, according to the Pulaski School

Pulaski, has a rather unique talent. Bluma has brought acros-tic poems to Pulaski and the sur-rounding areas.

“I’ve been writing poems since I was a teenager and never had any idea that they would go anywhere. Just recently I started making a special type of poem. It’s called an acrostic poem,” Bluma said.

According to Bluma, acrostic poems are poems that use letters of a word to branch out and de-scribe that word. Bluma’s deter-mination to start publishing her poems all started with a friend, who she looked up to, died.

“When the Pulaski Fire Chief died, it fueled my determination

to keep going forward with my poems,” Bluma said.

Since the fire chief passed away, Bluma has published well over 200 poems. According to Bluma, she sells poems for any occasion, and can even personal-ize the poems, however since the task is to great to do by herself she gets help from a friend Kara, and designing companies.

“I’ve been taking my poems to a whole new level. Now I put poems into picture frames, greet-ing cards, and even tote bags,” said Bluma.

The poems that Bluma writes are being sold at farmers markets, craft shows, Polka Days, the bank, and recently at Gabby Gails. Her poems have also been entered into competitions including Art Street.

Representative John Nygren (R-Marinette) is pleased with the decision of Tyco Fire Sup-pression and Building Products to expand its operations in Mari-nette. Tyco will be investing $10 million to construct a new Re-search and Development Center of Excellence in Marinette. The new facility will replace an exist-ing one built in the 1960’s. Some of the money will also be used to expand and improve testing labo-ratories, training, and marketing facilities.

“The Marinette community is a great place for any employer to expand and locate. Employers like Tyco benefit from Marinet-te’s hard-working and educated workforce,” Nygren said.

Assistance from the Wiscon-sin Department of Commerce through its Economic Develop-ment Tax Credit Program and the City of Marinette through Tax In-cremental Financing were provid-ed to assist with the project costs. The Economic Development Tax credit Program has been in exis-tence since 1987 and Wisconsin’s TIF law was enacted in 1975.

“If Wisconsin is to create and retain jobs we must explore every option available,” Nygren said. “I am pleased the City of Marinette is actively working to expand employers in our area and the Department of Commerce has decided to use the tools they have.”

Ansul Fire Protection, ac-quired by Tyco Fire Suppression and Building Products in 1990, has been active in Marinette since 1912. Roughly 675 Tyco employees currently work at the Marinette facilities.

“Efforts must continue to grow and retain employers in Wiscon-sin. Ways of doing this include relieving the regulatory and tax burdens placed on employers. I encourage passage of my Small Business Regulatory Reform pro-posal supported by the National Federation of Independent Busi-ness. As well, I support a sunset of the $5 billion in new and in-creased taxes and fees passed into law just last year,” Nygren said.

“One of those tax increases was on capital gains. That tax was estimated to take over $240 million from employers like Tyco and send it to state government. That money could have been used to expand and create employ-ers throughout Wisconsin creat-ing jobs we desperately need,” Nygren said.

An Assistive Technology Resource Fair for people with disabilities, persons who are elderly, family members, and

Resource Fair to be held in Green Bay

May 1 marked the start of Better Hearing and Speech Month, a month dedicated to educating consumers about the need to assure that their hearing is healthy. For the third year in a row, Advanced Hearing Solutions is joining forces with the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) in the Across America Hearing Check Challenge, a nationwide cam-paign to help millions of Ameri-cans reclaim their quality of life by facing unaddressed hearing loss. Spouses, Baby Boomers and their parents, and ALL fami-lies and friends in the Green Bay area are encouraged to rise to the challenge and get their hearing checked.

In support of this program, Advanced Hearing Solutions will be providing complimentary hearing screenings throughout the entire month of May to those interested in learning more about their hearing. There is no obli-gation or charge for this screen-ing but an appointment is neces-sary. Janet Thibert, a licensed doctor of audiology and owner of Advanced Hearing Solutions reported that she feels it is very important to have your hearing checked before a problem begins. By doing so, the screen serves as a baseline and can be compared to all future tests. If hearing loss already exists, it is a good idea to monitor hearing sensitivity an-nually to see if the degree of s\loss is stable or getting progres-sively worse. If you would prefer to screen your hearing fist in the privacy of your own home, you can do so by visiting www.hear-ingcheck.org online and taking a simple, 15 question self screen-er. If this indicates a problem, you can then contact Advanced Hearing Solutions or your own hearing healthcare provider for a more3 thorough assessment and consultation.

“We know that unaddressed hearing loss can seriously affect a person’s quality of life and can have a tremendous impact on rela-tionships,” says Thibert. “We see it every day in our practice and hear it from our patients and their concerned family members and friends. “We also know that too many people wait years, before getting treatment, either unaware of the extent of their hearing loss or reluctant to confront it. Re-search shows that hearing loss can affect everything from job performance to sexual intimacy. And when someone experiences unaddressed hearing loss, it can

erode the sufferer’s quality of life, undermining family relation-ships, interfering with short-term memory, and creeping into virtu-ally every aspect of daily living”.

The signs of hearing loss can be subtle and emerge slowly or they can be significant and come on suddenly. Either way, there are common indications. Signs of hearing loss include not being able to hear well in a crowded room or restaurant, having trouble hearing children and women, keeping the television or radio turned up to a high volume, needing to ask friends and family to repeat what they are saying, or experiencing ringing in the ears.

“Most people do not have to suffer the consequences of unad-dressed hearing loss,” says Sergei Kockin, PhD, Executive Direc-tor, BHI. Simply by getting their hearing checked and addressing their hearing loss, so many Amer-icans can reclaim their quality of life”.

If you would like more infor-mation about Better Hearing and Speech Month, or to schedule an appointment for a complimentary hearing screen, you can contact a staff member from Advanced Hearing Solutions at (920) 434-6777 or online at www.advhear-ingsolutions.com.

I had the pleasure to view “Birds In Wisconsin” on WNPE late one evening and what an in-teresting program. I learned about the Great Wisconsin Birding & Nature Trail, not only that, but that Wisconsin ranks third in the nation (tied with Alaska-the land of the Last Frontier) as the best places to view birds and wildlife, ranking Virginia first, Minnesota second. What a reminder not to take our “backyard” for granted. People travel to our state from across the nation and other places in the world to view some of the birds and wildlife that make our backyard their home.

Wisconsin is home of more than 400 species of birds. Some of the birds include the rare worm-eating warbler, shorebirds, eagles, loons, cranes, herons,

Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative and the Wisconsin De-partment of Natural Resources’ Endangered Resources Program.

The public nominated Na-tional Forest sites, State Natural Areas, county, city, and State Parks, private museums, nature centers, and US Fish & Wildlife Service properties for the project. A system was used to rank each site and those that ranked the highest were selected for the project. The Wisconsin Depart-ment of Tourism produced full-color viewing guides for each of the five birding and nature trails. The trails are mapped auto trails that cover every area of our state. Signs with a Sandhill Crane (once hunted to near extinction) logo are featured on the trails. The trails consist of more than 350 sites providing adventures in each of our 72 counties.

The trails are based upon the following regions:

Lake Superior/North Woods Birding and Nature Trail 2004

Mississippi/Chippewa Rivers Birding and Nature Trail 2005

Lake Michigan Birding and Nature Trail 2006

Central Sands Birding and Nature Trail 2007 (our region)

Southern Savanna Birding and Nature Trail 2008

Please practice being respon-sible citizens by helping protect and preserve our wildlife and en-vironment for future generations to enjoy. By doing so we will help prevent the wildlife in our “back-yards” from being endangered, threatened, or even extinct.

A Carnegie-Knight News21 reporter from Arizona State Uni-versity won a prestigious Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights an-nounced today.

David Kempa’s story “Cross-ing Lines,” about one man’s mission to help impoverished Mexican farmers, won the RFK Award in the college print cate-gory. It is the second consecutive year a student at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication won the award.

Kempa, who earned his mas-ter’s degree from Cronkite in December, was part of a team of Cronkite students who partici-pated last summer in News21, a national journalism education initiative funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation. As part of the program, students from 12 universities around the country take part in topic semi-nars and summer-long reporting projects. The program has been headquartered at the Cronkite School since 2008.

Kempa, 26, of Pulaski, trav-eled to the U.S./Mexico border and deep into Mexico to tell the story of Jesus Hernandez Arias, a Mexican native who almost died while trying to cross the desert. Hernandez, convinced that no one should have to take such chances to earn a decent living, decided to devote himself to helping farmers in a small Mexican town develop markets for their produce.

The story is presented in an innovative way on the News21 website with photos, maps and video interspersed. Text versions of the story appeared in a number of newspapers as well, including the Taiwan News and the Sacra-mento Bee.

The RFK Journalism Awards program honors outstanding reporting on issues that reflect Robert F. Kennedy’s concerns, including human rights, social justice and the power of individu-al action in the United States and around the world. The awards were established after the U.S senator’s assassination by jour-nalists who covered his history-making presidential campaign in 1968.

This year’s winners in the professional categories included The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and ABC News’ 20/20 program.

The awards will be presented by RFK’s widow, Ethel Kennedy, and Committee Chair Margaret Engel at a ceremony May 26 at George Washington University in Washington. Winners receive a bust of Robert Kennedy created by sculptor Robert Berks.

Last year, Cronkite students also won the college RFK award for a project on families divided by the U.S./Mexico border.

In honoring Kempa’s work, judges said that he addressed the complicated issue of immigration “in a fresh way that contributes to efforts to solve the problem. The reporter found engaging charac-ters and compelling situations. He connected their stories seam-lessly, capturing readers’ atten-tion on a vital and heart-rending social issue.”

Kempa said Ethel Kennedy called him personally to tell him he had won the award.

“She was very earnest and friendly,” he said. “I felt like I was speaking with a family member, but the thought kept bouncing around in my head: ‘I’m talking to an American icon!’”

Kempa, who now works in New York City writing the global markets and equities newsletter for Thomson Reuters, said he hopes to have more chances to write in-depth about topics like

immigration. “I was able to talk to families

of Mayan descendents who were telling me that a large proportion of their town … had risked their lives to earn a living,” he said. “Winning this award … makes me feel like I was writing about the right thing.”

Kempa worked under the direction of Rick Rodriguez, the Cronkite School’s Carnegie Professor of Journalism, and Jason Manning, ASU’s director of Student Media, who served as managing editor of the ASU project.

Manning described Kempa as a talented reporter and writer “whose work ethic and dedica-tion to good journalism shine through in this story, which chal-lenges the easy assumptions that are so often made about immigra-tion.”

“The students participating in this project are being given a rare opportunity – the time and means to do thoughtful, in-depth and challenging journal-ism,” Manning said. “We knew from the beginning that this story would be important, compelling and difficult to do. The News21 project provided the necessary support and resources, and David provided outstanding effort.”

Wolf River Master GardenerThe fertilizer labeled as 10-

10-10 has been around for a long time. It has been used for many years as a general all purpose fertilizer. It is easy to use, simple by spreading on the entire garden and tilling in with a rotary tiller. If you are an avid vegetable or flower gardener and use 10-10-10 fertilizer for your garden, you may have a hard time finding it this year.

Beginning April 1, 2010, fer-tilizer that is labeled as containing phosphorous cannot be applied to lawns or turf in Wisconsin unless the fertilizer application qualifies under certain exemp-tions. The rule was signed into law by Governor Doyle in April 2009 and the bill, “2009 Wiscon-sin Act 9” modified Chapter 94, Wisconsin Statutes. The intent of the law is to provide protec-tion to Wisconsin’s lakes, rivers, streams and other waste resources from phosphorous run-offs. The new rule restricts the use, sale and display of turf fertilizers labeled

Where’s the 10-10-10?

as containing phosphorous, which affects retailers including garden centers and hardware stores.

There are three numbers on all fertilizers. The first number stands for nitrogen. The second number is for phosphorous. The third number is for potash. So this year in Wisconsin, you will see turf fertilizers with numbers as 30-0-3, no phosphorous.

Fertilizers containing high phosphorous are normally called Starter Fertilizers. They are used for growing new lawns. Phospho-rous helps root growth. They can be applied right over the top of the grass seed when planting. Most retailers will carry these also, but they cannot be on the sales floor. No retailer may sell a turf fertil-izer with phosphorous unless the purchaser intends to use it for the following reasons:

establishing a new lawn either by seed or sod

purchaser has proof by soil test of phosphorous deficiency

to be used on pasture land for agricultural production

Many 10-10-10 bags have in-structions on the bag as to how to apply the fertilizer to lawns and some have pictures of grass on the bag itself. Therefore, at many stores, it will not be displayed on the shelf for the consumer to see. There is one exception to this rule. They are allowing Milorgan-ite to be displayed for sale. It has a small amount of phosphorous but it is a bio- solid.

When you are in your garden center to get that 10-10-10, don’t be afraid to ask for it. Garden center employees know the law and can answer your questions. Let’s hope this non-phosphorous law will keep our Wisconsin waters clean for all of us to enjoy.

no later than May 10, includes continental breakfast, speaker, luncheon, and memento. There will be no registrations accepted after that date or at the door.

Reservation forms are avail-able from parish society presi-

dents, or you may register by mail by sending your name, address, phone number, and check made out to Green Bay DCCW for the fee by May 10 to: Joanne Weldon, Marion Day Registrar, 3540 Cty. CC, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235.


There are tremendous respon-sibilities and potential liabilities that come with owning a dog. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports there are ap-proximately 4.7 million dog bites per year, resulting in 800,000 in-juries that require medical atten-tion. Half of those injuries are to people under the age of 18.

Dog behavior is a serious concern for everyone. Insurance companies often pay civil judg-ments for dog bites that happen on their customers’ properties. Those payments affect insurance premiums that policyholders pay.

The Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Humane Society offer the following tips on how to prevent dog attacks. Share this information with your loved ones for protection in a variety of situations.For owners:

♦ Responsibility as a dog owner begins before the puppy or dog is brought home for the first time. Research dog breeds and select a dog suitable to your family and lifestyle. If you are buying a puppy, ask to meet the parents and observe the setting in which the young dog was raised.

♦ Train or socialize your dog. Don’t play aggressive games with your dog.

♦ Spay or neuter your dog.

♦ Seek professional advice if your dog starts to become aggressive, such as growling or nipping.

♦ Closely supervise children when around dogs. The size of a child may cause a dog to act in a dominant way toward a child.

For everyone:

♦ If a strange or threatening dog approaches, stand still. Don’t run or scream. Try to back against a tree or car. If you have time, climb on a car or up a tree. Then call for help. If the dog moves away, you can then move away carefully.

♦ If a dog knocks you down, lie on the ground with knees tucked to your chest and a fist over each ear. Remain very still and quiet.

♦ Don’t stare. Staring threatens dogs.

♦ Be aware that about 80 percent of dog bites occur in the victim’s home or at a friend’s home. These “friendly” dog bites account for the majority of treated dog bites.

2009 Consumer Confidence Report for 40503551 PULASKI WATERWORKS Water System Information: If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please contact Tom M Rodgers at (920) 822-8618.

Health Information: Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental Protection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

To obtain a summary of the source water assessment please contact Tom M Rodgers at (920) 822-8618

Educational Information The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

· Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. · Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally- occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. · Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses. · Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems. · Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health.

Number of Contaminants Required to be Tested

This table displays the number of contaminants that were required to be tested in the last five years. The CCR may contain up to five years worth of water quality results. If a water system tests annually, or more frequently, the results from the most recent year are shown on the CCR. If testing is done less frequently, the results shown on the CCR are from the past five years.

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living;

the other helps you make a life.~ Sandara Carey

Lannoye Elementary School held a Family Reading Night on April 13. This was a fun family night focused on reading and the mystery genre.

There were many activities on Family Reading Night. There were guest readers in the Library. Anne Mead of the Pulaski Branch of the Brown County Library was the first guest reader of the evening, Cindy Egnarski and Scott Uttech from the Figaro’s Pizza/Cousin’s Sub and student Jenna Egnarski read and per-formed the book Pete’s a Pizza, and Principal Pam Engel read to students and families to finish the evening.

Other activities included family reading in the Library Media Center, parent information sessions about strategies families can use to help students improve reading fluency by Lannoye LST Linda Gantz, computer games in the Lannoye computer lab, a book exchange, a bake sale, and mystery themed arts and crafts projects in the art room.

Mystery themed games for families were set up in the caf-eteria. The games and were provided by Gnome Games and representatives of Gnome Games were there to assist students and families. Butterfly Books had a display and there was a 20 percent discount for families on any book sales during the evening.

Funds raised by the bake sale and book raffle will be used to purchase books through the final PTO Book Fair at Lannoye and these books will be donated to classrooms. Extra books left

Stephanie Heezen was the Lannoye coordinator for the April Book fair. Kerry Niemcek-Druecke, the leader of the fifth grade Lannoye Girl Scouts and the Girl Scout troop, helped to plan and work the event. Girl Scouts who worked the event were Arianna Druecke, Elea-nora Frank, Kaela Jones, Natalie Nickerson, Annicka Rabida, and Katelyn Spurlock. Parents of the Girl Scouts also assisted in various activites during Family Reading Night.

Pam Engel, Principal of Lannoye Elementary, said, “This was a great collaborative event between the school, PTO, and the Girl Scouts. There was a great turnout, and it was planned so well that there was something for everyone who could attend.”

“The Lannoye Girl Scouts did a great job and learned a lot about organizing and working a school event. They did a great job with this as a service project for their school,” Engel said.

Many Lannoye staff members also helped with the event. Along with Stephanie Heezen were Jessica Belanger, Lisa Bowen, Mary Chrisman, Jackie Coenen, Sharon Ellner, Pam Engel, Russ Finnessey-Cook, Linda Gantz, Susan Hancock, Glen Kellerman, Susan McMahon, Mary Pierson, Holly Smith, and Jodie Walker.

Heezen said, “All the staff at Lannoye School was so willing to help out with this event. This is a great staff to work with.”

students went to Stevens Point for EDGE. They did many things and learned about themselves during the workshops. The stu-dents who attended were Genna Adamski, Amanda Bodart, Noah Clough, Morgan Denzer, Mer-cedes Dumas, Rachelle Erdmann, Quinton Grzeskowiak, Emily Hendzel, Wesley Horch, Danielle Karcz, Amanda Koepsell, Morgan Motiff, Logan Paschke, Morgan Siolka, and Bayli Whalen.

shake to figuring out puzzles, they learned a lot. The students got to sit with kids from all over Wisconsin and meet new people.

“I made new friends!” Emily Hendzel said from EDGE. There were many types of classes a person could be, or what kind of centered person one could be. Do you know the definition of paradigm? It’s how one sees the world and oneself. The students got to do activities learning about different paradigms.

Also, they learned about a new point of view: principals. They each picked out his/her favorite six out of lots of words. A few were trust, success, and fearless-ness. In the groups of new people,

Pulaski High School green house is opening its doors for the spring planting season. Students in the horticulture and landscape design classes at Pulaski High School have been planting and nurturing seeds and seedlings for the annual Spring Sale.

There are flower baskets, flower and vegetable four-packs, and full flats for sale. Baskets are $20, four-packs are $2, and a full flat of four-packs are $17. The sale in the greenhouse begins on May 7 at 8 a.m., running until 4 p.m. The hours after the opening Friday are Monday through Friday 2p.m. through 4p.m., until May 28. There will not be any markdowns, so come and take your pick while we have every-thing in full! This sale will benefit the greenhouse and the students who put time and effort into this venture.

they got to make songs about comfort zones. Genna Adamski even got to sing her groups to ev-eryone.

“I learned to step out of my comfort zone,” said Adamski.

They cracked the code, in the two days, to being secret agents of EDGE! Besides the workshops, they had other types of fun at the confer-ence. On Friday night there was a dance and pizza party. The stu-dents got to meet new people in the afternoon and at night rock out with them! Also Friday night the pool was open for everyone to swim in. So everybody that went: know grow show!!

To qualify for Eau Claire’s Phi Eta Sigma, stu-dents must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 or above.

At the initiation ceremony an honorary told the candidates, “May you find in the years ahead, the rewards of the educated person… imagination, adventure, humor, compassion, and under-standing. May you have tolerance in your dealings with your fel-lowmen, generosity in giving to those in need, and insight into the feelings of others. In relating edu-cation to the world in which you live, you can make a meaningful contribution to society.”

A night of fun at the spring PEEPtacular proved to be a great success. Many children and parents attended the PEEPtacular event on April 15. Highlights of the night were a hot dog meal for a dollar, fun games for the chil-dren, a free book for each student, and fun with friends.

The PEEPtacular event was a chance for the area PEEP program to display its teaching strategies to the parents of 4-K students, and a chance for the young children to enjoy hands-on learning with their friends.

Rob Kinner, the parent of Robert Kinner who is involved in the PEEP program, said, “I like that they’re displaying teaching techniques and that the learning is hands on.”

Another parent, Becky Duffrin, said, “It’s an excellent educational opportunity for kids to explore hands on learning within the Pulaski School Dis-trict.”

Adding to the success and the value of the spring PEEPtacular was the fact that teachers were on hand to talk to parents and work with the children.

Sherri Olson, parent of Taylor Olson, said, “It’s a great learn-ing experience for the kids in the PEEP program and a wonderful family event.”

The Optimist Winners for the month of May from Hillcrest El-ementary are Jaylynn LeBeau, a fourth grade student in Eric VandenHeuvel’s classroom, and Devan Alonso, a kindergartener in Nancy Salmon’s classroom.

JayLynn’s teacher said, “I would like to nominate JayLynn because she works so hard in the classroom and is sure to always do her best. What is most im-pressive about her is how well she gets along with every student in the school. I have never had any complaints about JayLynn mistreating anyone. The other students agree that she is one of the friendliest kids at Hillcrest!”

Alonso’s teacher said, “I nominated Devan Alonso for the Optimist award as he is a won-derful child to have in my class! He is so polite and cheerful and always does his best. Devan has a genuine excitement to learn. He is kind to his classmates and has such a cheery disposition! Devan is a friend to everyone and has been an awesome role model. We are proud of you Devan!”

held its annual Family Fun Night on April 9. The Hawaiian-themed night hosted a variety of fun ac-tivities for all the students and their family.

Inside the main gym, Jake’s Jumpers set up multiple inflatable jumpers. The kids had a blast racing though the obstacle course and bouncing in the jump houses. Basketball, bean bag toss, and mini golf were also available to students in the main gym.

The auxiliary gym hosted a variety of carnival games for the children to play. In addition, a cake walk was available, and many people went home with a delicious homemade treat.

In the cafeteria, a raffle was going on through out the night. Attendees had the opportunity to buy tickets in hopes of winning one of the goodie-packed baskets. Food was also for sale in the caf-eteria.

The night was made possible by a dedicated group of volun-teers. The adult volunteers were assisted by members of Leo Club and the youth group from New Life Community Church.

The Glenbrook Family Fun Night was once again a fantas-tic opportunity for students and parents to have fun together.

He also shared his love of rock collecting by sharing with students that ev-ery rock has a story. He trav-els all over the world collect-ing new samples and allowed students to get hands on with his unique and rare samples including a fossilized dinosaur egg, a meteorite, and valu-able gemstones.

Gabrielle Jonas from Assumption B.V.M. rode her bike to school in honor of Earth Day. This was part of a promise to protect our Earth.

The fifth graders walked into the library at Lannoye elementa-ry. They walk at attention, single file and silent. They know who is here to see them, Private Logan Smith.

Private Smith, graduate of Pulaski High School class of 2007, has been coming and talking to the fifth graders since the 2008-2009 school year. Logan is the son of Holly and Dan Smith, Sobieski.

“The kids love it,” said Jacque-line Coenen, a fifth grade teacher at Lannoye.

Private Smith has been in the National Guard for three years.

“I joined the military because of my sense of pride, honor, self-less service, and because I always wanted to,” said Private Smith.

Private Smith is assigned Combat Engineer Route Clear-ance, meaning that he must search a designated route for IEDs and

other explosive devises. Private Smith talks to the stu-

dents about life and the lessons he has learned not only in boot camp but school also. He tells the stu-dents to work hard and pay atten-tion and to always “do your best and you will go far.”

When he catches kids talking in the back row and not being respectful and quiet, the students had to come down and do push ups, good ones. Even so, the kids still love when he comes and talks to them. He gives them a real ex-perience.

Private Smith left April 18 for his first tour of duty in Iraq. The class will send him letters throughout his tour in Iraq. When he returns, he plans on starting a waterfowl guide service with his brother. His talks will be missed, and the kids are eager for him to come back and speak to them again.

On April 12 and 13 the Pulaski Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) attended their state conference at the Chula Vista Hotel in Wisconsin Dells. The conference brought together over 2,300 students, advisers, and guests for an enthusiastic and memorable experience.

FBLA participants from all over Wisconsin gathered at Wis-consin Dells’ Chula Vista. During the two-days spent there, members competed in business-related events, attended workshops and delegate assemblies, and elected the new State Executive Board members. The first and second place winners for each event have the opportunity to advance to the

Nick Douglas finished second, which qualifies him for Nationals.


By Makayla Erdmann Did you know bees are very

clean, or that raw honey can help heal cuts? The third grade stu-dents at Sunnyside Elementary learned these answers on April 8 as they gathered in the commons for a bee presentation as a follow-up to their Plant Growth and De-velopment Unit.

To begin, Jay Faikel, a bee-keeper, from Howard, talked to the students about the parts of a hive and some interesting facts. One fact he told the students was that the queen bee of the colony decides the mood of the hive. If the queen bee “wakes up on the wrong side of bed” and she’s mad, the whole colony will be mad! On the other hand, if she wakes up happy, the whole colony will be happy. Another fact the students learned was after six weeks, worker bees’ wings will wear out. That’s because in order to produce one pound of honey, the worker bee has to fly 55,000 miles. Another fact the students learned was that if a bee’s stomach is too full, it can’t sting people. Faikel also let the students take some honey right from the wax cells to try.

Next, Abby Tracy, the 2010 Wisconsin Honey Queen from Watertown, Wisconsin, told the students some more facts they

had never heard about bees. For instance, bees do 100% polli-nation on cranberries, cucum-bers, pickles, almonds, cherries, and other plants. Students also learned that bees make one third of our food supply. Did you know that the lighter the color of honey, the sweeter it is, and the darker the honey, the more healthy it is?

All in all, you may not like bees because they sting you, but if the world didn’t have bees, we’d only have fish, wheat, water, and corn to live on.

Karlee Krueger said, “I think differently about bees now that I learned more about them. Bees are very helpful to the world.”

Liz Moehr congratulates Katelyn and Kortney Krajewski on their FCCLA accomplishments.

By Kortney KrajewskiFrom April 6 to 8, Pulaski

FCCLA members, with advisor Liz Moehr, attended the 2010 FCCLA State Leadership Con-ference located at the Kalahari Resort and Waterpark in the Wis-consin Dells. This is the only opportunity in Wisconsin for stu-dents to study the family and con-sumer skills to help prepare them for the future.

Wisconsin FCCLA members listened to speaker Ryan Porter who taught the members about the importance of leadership. His message inspired members to connect with an act on their dreams, deflate peer pressure, stay focused in class, and achieve greatness in everything they do. FCCLA members also had a chance to widen their leader-ship skills by attending break-out sessions that taught FCCLA members how to become better leaders in their school and com-munity.

Pulaski FCCLA members also competed with other schools throughout the state of Wisconsin in variety of events for a chance to honor Wisconsin FCCLA at the 2010 National Leadership Conference this summer. Four Pulaski FCCLA members com-peted in these events from Pas-tries and Baked Goods to Teach and Train. Each member im-pressed the judges with their proj-ects that taught about family and consumer science topics.

Also, Wisconsin FCCLA members attended the STAR event recognition ceremony to find out how each member did. Kelsey Lang received a silver medal in Teach and Train. Michael Kurowski received a gold medal and a first place finish in Pastries and Baked Goods, and Katelyn Krajewski and Kortney Krajewski received silver medals and national qualifier spots in Il-lustrated Talk.

Katelyn Krajewski and Kortney Krajewski have ad-vanced and have the chance to represent Wisconsin FCCLA at the 2010 National Leadership Conference from July 4 to 8 in Chicago, Illinois.

FCCLA attends State Competition


By Kevin RipleyOver 600 community leaders,

business representatives, and area volunteers gathered at the KI Convention Center April 13 to be recognized by the Volun-teer Center of Green Bay and by the Wisconsin Public Service for their efforts. Four high school students, two parents, and the Pulaski News advisor Kathleen Gerds attended this 22nd Annual WPS Volunteer Awards Break-fast.

Beginning at 7 a.m., all at-tendees ate a catered breakfast of eggs, sausages, bagels, fruit, and muffins. After that, the award ceremony began, emceed by Tom Zalaski and Erin Davisson from WFRV-TV.

This year Kathleen Bader, the PHS choir director, nominated Ellen Berg for her choral lead-ership. Gerds nominated Julian Lacera for his work as president of the Diversity Club and for his fundraising efforts for Haiti. Those two students, along with Gerds herself, were categorized

as Schneider National Founda-tion Volunteer Leadership Award nominees.

In the running, amongst others, for the Schreiber Foods, Inc., Youth Volunteer Award, were Kevin Ripley and Carrie Trina, nominated by Gerds for their Pulaski Leo Club involve-ment. The Pulaski Leo Club as a whole, additionally represented by Laura Dahms, was nominated for the Green Bay Packers Large Group Award.

Although no nominees from Pulaski were selected for awards this year, they no doubt have made a difference in the commu-nity.

In a letter to the Leo Club prior to the event, Larry Borgard, the president and CEO of WPS, said, “Thank you for the impact that your volunteerism has made on our community. We are proud to honor your group for brighten-ing our community through your service, dedication, and impact on the community.”

For its exemplary record of leadership, service, and ac-tivities that serve to improve the school and community, Pulaski High School has been awarded a 2010 National Gold Council of Excellence Award by the Na-tional Association of Student Councils. Over 150 high schools were named National Councils of Excellence but Pulaski High School is one of 131 of those high schools nationwide to receive the highly-esteemed honor of being named a National Gold Council of Excellence, and one of only two in Wisconsin.

To meet the requirements for the National Council of Excel-lence award, a student council

must demonstrate that it meets a variety of criteria. Those councils named to the Gold level have met a greater number of the criterion than other nominated schools. In addition to basic requirements such as a written constitution, regular meetings, a democratic election process, and membership in the NASC, schools that qualify for the award demonstrate such things as leadership training for council members, teacher/staff appreciation activities, student recognition programs, school and community service projects, spirit activities, goal setting, financial planning, and active participation in their state and national student council associations.

“Receiving an NASC Nation-al Gold Council of Excellence Award indicates a dedication on the part of the local school to providing a strong, well-rounded student council program,” said Jeff Sherrill, associate director of NASC. “NASC applauds the work of the National Gold Coun-cils of Excellence and challenges them to continue their exemplary efforts to serve their schools as the elected representatives of their student body.”

Dexter McNabb, associate principal of PHS, said, “It is a great honor and feat for the stu-dents of Pulaski High School to have achieved this. From the ad-ministration, we are proud and excited for what they have ac-complished.”

The National Association of Student Councils (NASC) pro-motes and provides leadership development opportunities to prepare and empower students to serve their schools and communi-ties. NASC is a program of the National Association of Second-ary School Principals (NASSP). The NASSP, the preeminent organization and national voice of middle level and high school leaders, also sponsors the Nation-al Honor Society (NHS) and the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), which recognizes out-standing middle level and high school students who demonstrate excellence in the areas of schol-arship, leadership, service, and character.

On April 23, the Pulaski Red Raider varsity baseball squad hosted the Jaguars of Ashwaubenon. Even when the Jaguars took a quick 2-0 lead, the Raiders fought back with a solo home run by Kyle Kubiak and a Kevin Simeons’s double to tie the score through five innings. However, the Jaguars came back with their bats on fire late in the game to break away to six more unanswered points to make the final score 8-2.

Pulaski hosts triangular

By Steven Schlender When the Pulaski Red Raider

Varsity baseball team battled the Green Bay West Wildcats, it was more than just a baseball game for Pulaski; it was a milestone for their coach, Mike Berken. With this game under his belt, Berken has coached 500 high school baseball games in his 31-year career at Pulaski High School.

Berken’s coaching started with Green Bay Babe Ruth League in 1975. After three years of Babe Ruth, Berken was hired at Pulaski High School as a math teacher. With the teaching position at the high school he also secured a coaching position with the freshmen team. At that time, the varsity coach was Bob Dettman. Berken coached the freshmen for two years then the junior varsity for 14 years. In the spring of 1996, Dettman retired from his position and Berken took up the position in his stead. He is now in his 15th season as the head coach of the varsity team.

Berken started coaching ini-tially because he, “has always loved the game of baseball,” said Berken. “To me, it is the greatest game there is.”

He enjoys working with young adults. His brothers and his mother were very large influences in his love for the game of base-ball, and, consequently, his love of coaching.

Over the course of his coach-ing career, Berken has enjoyed working with all of the young men that have come through the Pulaski baseball program.

“Kids that play spring baseball love the game. The fields are wet; it’s cold, and yet they’re out there day in and day out,” said Berken. “I’ve enjoyed teaching the game to ballplayers that have the same passion for baseball that I do.”

The mission statement for the baseball program that has evolved during Berken’s tenure is: “We will use the wonderful game of baseball and the spirit of athletic competition to develop ball players who are quality young men of high integrity that reach their potential as baseball players.”

Not only has Berken been coaching for 500 games, but those games have not come without success. Berken has led his teams to four Regional Championships and one Sectional Champion-ship appearance. One of his most memorable and enjoyable expe-riences was coaching the North squad in the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association All Star Classic last June.

“When my former Babe Ruth coach Ralph Jenquin called me when I was in college and asked me if I would consider helping him I certainly never expected

to be coaching 35 years later. I consider myself extremely for-tunate to have had the privi-lege to share my passion for the game with the many fine young men that have played baseball at Pulaski High School the last 31 years. I have had the privilege to work with many outstanding coaches, including16 years with Bob Dettman and over 10 years with Joel Jarock and Bill Mihal-ski both of whom played for me at PHS. I had the opportunity to coach under two outstanding ath-letic directors in Fred Kestly and Don Tolkacz, their support and friendship is greatly appreciated. I would like to thank the admin-istrators, teachers and staff who have supported the Pulaski base-ball program. The three athletic director secretaries I have worked with; Helen Kozlowski, Wink O’Brien and currently Tari No-vinska are three wonderful ladies and I thank them for their profes-sionalism and support throughout the years. It would not be possi-ble to commit 31 years to Pulaski baseball without the support and sacrifices of my children Emily and Ben as they were growing up. My final and fondest thank you is for my best friend and wife Jean, her tremendous support and undying devotion have allowed me to coach the game I love. Someday this journey will end, however I doubt my passion for the game of baseball ever will.”

The girls also had a good meet and worked hard for the first place achievements. Brittni Wirtz won the 100 meter dash while Deedra Irwin took first in the 1,600 meter run. Pulaski’s 3,200 meter relay also took first. Mallory Nickerson won the discus.

As these meets progress, Pu-laski’s track and field athletes keep working hard to succeed in their track and field careers.

In game two, the Lady Raiders took an early lead in the top of the first inning with a three-run homerun by Brooke Lauritzen. However, Ashwaubenon fought back with one run almost every inning after that. Lasecki and Leah Keyes had multiple hits for Pulaski. Lauritzen took both losses.

Raider varsity baseball team squared off with FRCC rivals the Notre Dame Tritons. The Raiders got off to an excellent start, scoring four runs in the first couple of innings. The Raiders were then successful in holding the Tritons scoreless through the fifth inning. The Tritons came back with quality hitting against the excellent performance of Pulaski starting pitcher AJ Huxford.

When the Tritons had the bases loaded with no outs, Alex Smithback relieved Huxford on the mound. Despite quality pitch-ing from Smithback, the Tritons hit the ball well and put up five runs in the sixth inning. With the Raiders final at bats of the seventh inning, they had runners in scoring position but came up short and could not pull out a victory. The Raiders lost to Notre Dame in a hard battle 5-4.

The Hornets, however, put together a strong hitting performance against the Raider pitching, and a couple of Raider mishaps oc-curred on defense. Although the Raiders would go on to score two more runs with the help of Jake Bloch’s two hits, they could not overcome the 13-3 loss to Preble.

Raiders split double header

By Brooke Lauritzen If you were at the Pulaski

versus Green Bay East softball game on April 27, you would have witnessed all cheers and smiles at the end of the game from the Raiders’ team. The Raiders’ soft-ball team handed the Green Bay East Red Devils their first loss of the season, winning 4-2. The rival Red Devils were ranked seventh in the state of Wisconsin prior to their game against Pulaski.

The top of the first inning was when Green Bay East scored only two runs off of two hits. The Raiders battled back and tied up the game a couple innings later. With few errors, dives in the out-field, and the bats starting to kick in, Pulaski pulled ahead 4-2. The Red Devils had one last chance to tie or get ahead in the top of the seventh, but the Raiders shut them down. As the crowd cheered and screamed, an East batter hit it right back at the Pulaski pitcher, Brooke Lauritzen, and she got the out at first. After an error and a double by the Red Devils, there were runners on second and third. Lauritzen struck out the next batter to get out number two. Green Bay East’s first batter was

Maplewood Meats recognized for award-winning meats

Maplewood Meats recently received awards for eight products at the 71st annual Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors Convention.

The quality of meat products produced by Maplewood Meats of Green Bay was recognized at the 71st annual convention of the Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors, held in Madison on April 9 to 11. The Wisconsin Meat Product Competition is the largest of its kind in the United States. A total of 1,042 products were entered this year, and judged by a panel of food scientists, out-of-state meat processors, and other food industry professionals. Each product is scored on taste, aroma, eye-appeal and appear-ance. Maplewood Meats received awards for 10 products.

Maplewood Meats is a family owned and operated business. Owners are Roger and Patricia Van Hemelryk, daughter Lisa (Schulze), daughter-in-law Vicki and son David.

Maplewood is a longstand-ing member of the Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors (WAMP). WAMP has helped many of the small plants through expert advice, and freely sharing ideas on products and production.

In addition to sausages, and fresh cuts of beef and pork, Ma-plewood features many specialty products that are ready to serve, or ready for the oven. The deli case includes shredded bbq beef, shredded roast beef, shredded bbq beef, shredded turkey, and shred-ded chicken that ready to heat and serve on a bun. Many lunchmeats, including sliced ham, turkey breast, chicken breast, pastrami, dried beef, and sandwich spreads. The fresh case includes special-ties such as chicken cordon bleu, stuffed pork chops, and marinated kabobs (beef tenderloin, chicken breast, or pork tenderloin), that are ready for your oven or grill.

To celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day, Cellcom has taken up the challenge to plant trees and move more customers to paper-less billing. If every American recycled just one-tenth of his/her newspaper, 25 million trees would be saved each year.

Cellcom also recommends the following green tips for technol-ogy and your cell phone:

Unplug your device chargers when you’re not using them. Chargers continue to draw small amounts of electricity even when not in use.

Don’t overcharge your battery. Leaving a cell phone on the charger when it’s reached a full charge will not add to the battery life. When a cell phone has reached full charge, unplug both the device and the charger.

Shut down computers at night and use power strips for electronic set ups (computer, printer, speak-ers or TV, DVD player, cable

box). Again, these items continue to draw power, and when turned off and ‘unplugged’ by flipping the power strip, energy can be saved on these big ticket items.

Use a cell phone as an alarm clock. Almost all cell phones come with an alarm clock option. By using this function, you could eliminate the need for a plugged in alarm clock.

Sign up for online billing if possible. Most of the technology companies that provide service to your house (cable, internet, cell phone, etc.) offer paperless billing. The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year; many of those pieces are included in billing statements. Online billing is usually faster and easier with online payment options to coin-cide with the billing.

Small efforts can add up, and these quick green technology tips can help save money and energy.

Mother’s Day is almost upon us. This year, in addition to giving Mom some flowers and a card, why not brighten her day — and her future — by making a financial gift? Your first thought might be that giving your mother a check may seem “tacky.” But these days, ev-eryone can use a little extra cash. However, you can find other types of financial gifts that can have a longer-lasting impact. Here are a few ideas to consider:

Help Mom fund her IRA. If your mother is still working, she can contribute to an IRA — and she should. Either a traditional or Roth IRA is a great way to build tax-advantaged savings for re-tirement. Yet most people don’t fully fund their IRAs each year. In 2010, your mother can put in $5,000 to her IRA, or $6,000 if she’s 50 or older. While you can’t directly contribute to her IRA, you can write a check for that purpose. Purchase an investment for Mom. If you can afford it, con-sider giving a few shares of stock, possibly issued by companies that make products or services your mother uses. (If you give shares that you own, you’ll need to keep records of your initial sales price; this information will be useful to your mother if she ever sells the shares and needs to pay capital gains taxes.) If you think your mother could benefit from an in-crease in her cash flow, you might consider giving her a corporate or government bond, which can provide regular interest payments. Take care of a debt payment. The lower your mother’s debt payments, the more she can put away for retirement. While you probably aren’t in a position to pay off all her debts, perhaps you could handle a car or credit card payment as a Mother’s Day gift. Make a charitable gift in Mom’s name. Your mother probably sup-ports many worthy causes — and a financial gift to any one of them, in her name, would probably please her greatly. Furthermore, your generosity may provide you with an immediate tax deduction, assuming the group to which you donate meets the tax deductibility guidelines established by the IRS. In fact, if you donated an appre-ciated asset, such as a stock, you could possibly get two tax breaks: a deduction on this year’s taxes and the avoidance of capital gains taxes that will result from the eventual sale of an asset. Before donating this type of asset, though, consult with your tax advisor. Provide Mom with some finan-cial education. If your mother doesn’t know much about invest-ing, you might get her a book on the topic. Or, better yet, if you have a financial advisor whom you trust, introduce him or her to your mother. Once your mother enters her pre-retirement and retirement years, she may have many issues — such as cash flow management, estate planning and investing to stay ahead of infla-tion — for which she could use the help of a financial profes-sional.

Mother’s Day comes and goes in a day — but by making the right type of financial gift to your mother, your generosity can be felt for years to come.

condition, perhaps a coat of paint is in order, to give it a fresh, crisp look.

The MailboxAgain, perhaps a coat of paint

will be needed or if the mailbox is old and beat up, a replacement can be inexpensive and shows that you care about the property.

ShrubsTake time to trim the shrubs,

this job does not have to be done by a professional, just make them look neat.

The LawnFreshly mowed and trimmed.

If you need to fill in some bare spots, sow some seeds to fill in or a piece of sod.

Now, let’s take a look at the house.

Exterior PaintIf you have peeling paint,

scrape and repaint. Remember, the better impression your home gives, the quicker it will sell, and the more you will gain from the sale.

Exterior SidingHose off siding if there are

areas that are dirty using a product designed for that material.

Doorway or EntranceSweep around the doorway.

Clear any cobwebs, ect. Repaint the front door if needed. Apply new hardware; install a new brass kick plate. Clean or replace house numbers. Clean or install a new light fixture.

RoofNobody wants to replace a

roof, be it you as the seller, or the buyer. But it is a fact that if your roof isn’t in good shape, it will cost you. If the roof is old and needs to be replaced, con-sider having the work done before showing the property. Replace or repair flashing if needed. Paint eaves and fascia boards if neces-sary.

Gutters and DownspoutsHaving neat, functional gutters

and downspouts show that you have cared for the property. If there is a pattern of erosion in the run off area, consider installing a spillway. (Concrete or other).

DrivewaysWhat is the surface condition

of your driveway? Pull out any grass or weeds growing through the cracks. If it is stained, consid-er resealing it with a high quality sealer product.

Fourteen area residents will travel to Santiago, Chile in August to build homes through Habitat for Humanity’s Global Village program. Nicknamed “Team Chile,” the team will be volunteering their time to provide decent affordable housing for families in need.

Volunteering on a Global Village trip gives team members the opportunity to observe and contribute to the Habitat’s work firsthand. Team members will learn about poverty housing, de-velopment challenges, and the Habitat’s ministry and mission to help eradicate them. They will experience the community’s culture, language, and social practices while working along-side homeowners and volunteers of all backgrounds, races, and religions. Global Village partici-pants become active partners with people of another culture, helping to build a true “global village” of

The trip is scheduled for August 7 to 15. The project may involve building new homes, re-pairing or remodeling existing homes, or earthquake disaster relief. Team members will learn of the exact location and nature of their project about one month prior to their departure.

Team Leader Valerie Plasky said, “Being involved in Habitat’s Global Village program has been life changing. I have seen first-hand the difference a decent home has made in the lives of families around the world, and I realized one person truly can make a difference.”

Plasky, a Suamico resident, participated in a Global Village build in Tanzania, Africa in 2007. This is her first trip as Team Leader.

Team members include Debbie and Larry Frazier, Green Bay; Meghan Frazier, Stevens Point; Neil Hermus, Green Bay; Cassie Johnson, Green Bay; Kathy Kampen, Green Bay; Pamela and Cole Krumrei, Little Suamico; Kara McNichols, Green Bay; Laura and Perry Robinson, De Pere; Jim Radtke, Marion; and Tammie Scheich, Suamico.

The team is currently raising money for their project. A rummage sale is planned for Saturday, May 22 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 2939 Maple Grove Rd. in Suamico. All proceeds from the sale will be used to purchase building materials for the project. For more information on the rummage sale or on other ways to help the team, please contact Valerie Plasky at (920) 434-1604.

Dynamic Designs is pleased to announce the March 2011 Com-munity Calendar Photo contest winner! For the month of March, the winning recipient is Charlotte Leisgang who photographed a property she came across. She submitted a photo titled “The House with Nobody In It.” The house is adjacent to an old stone barn that is also slowly “passing away.” The original log house on the property belonged to a bach-elor, named John Kornaus, which burned down prior to 1940. In 1940 neighbors helped rebuild the house that Leisgang submit-

Leisgang wins photo contest for Marchted for the photo contest. Kornaus eventually moved to Two Rivers in his final years and passed away in 1978.

Just as interesting as the photo submitted was why Leisgang had submitted the photo in the first place. An intriguing poem by Joyce Kilmer entitled “The House With Nobody In It” inspired Leis-gang to enter the photo contest.

Leisgang will receive a $20 gift certificate to Dynamic Designs and a framed photo of her winning entry.
