Realty of Pulaski celebrated their 12 year anniversary. Business owner Lori Stephan is very proud of her self-started business, and is very glad that she can work with her brother Todd Stephan, daughter Layne Bohm, and very close friend Jerrilynn Vanden-berg. Stephan chose this location because she raised her children in Pulaski and also lived in the area.

“This is a very close-knit town” said Lori Stephan, “and it is hard to see community members using out-of-town realty compa-nies that don’t put their custom-ers first. Being a member of this

Gary Kozicki is the owner and operator of Pulaski Concrete Products in Pulaski. Kozicki ser-vices the Pulaski and Green Bay area. He provides his custom-ers with manufacturing cement block.

His products include brick and decorative brick for foundations and general building. Machinery is now all automated, unlike back in the 1950s when everything was made and done by hand, which demanded hard physical labor. Kozicki recalls the physical toll the pre-automated factory took. For example, before the crane truck became available, deliv-ering block manually entailed physically taking the block from the truck and sliding them down a plank into the basement of the pre-built home.

Technology today has made the brick easier to produce and it has made the quality of the brick better. It has also made more designs for decorative brick pos-sible.

“We always stress the quality of our brick,” said Kozicki. Some of the local projects Pulaski Con-crete Products has built include, Premier Bank, the dugouts at the ball diamonds in Pulaski, Moun-tain Bay Plaza, Super Ron’s, and the new addition on the Pulaski Chase Co-op. The block company typically builds commercial buildings.

Back in 1947, Gary Kozicki’s father, Jerome (Jerry) Kozicki, started, owned and operated the business along with Jerry’s brother, Roman Kozicki. At that time, the business was named

the business and took over full operation; the name subsequently changed to Pulaski Block Factory. Later, as the business grew, the name changed for its final time to Pulaski Concrete Products.

In an article that previ-ously ran in Pulaski News, Jerry Kozicki said, “There wasn’t much competition, then.”

Gary Kozicki started at Pulaski Concrete Products when he was seven years old. As a young child, Gary would stamp each block with a letter “P” to mark that it came from Pulaski Concrete Products. After his father, Jerry Kozicki, retired in 1986, Gary took over the op-eration of the business; though Jerry Kozicki (deceased, 2008) remained active in the daily op-erations of the factory long into his retirement. Gary was the only one out of five sisters and one brother who took up the business.

“It was successful in the long run,” says Kozicki.

Pulaski Concrete Products hours are, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and they can be reached at (920) 822-5151. They are located at 334 S.

Wisconsin St. “We are always willing to go the extra mile to help the customer,” says Kozicki.

Rosie Wenzel’s second graders learned how animals have a layer of fat to help insulate them and protect them in the winter. The second graders made a “blubber mitten” to feel how hav-ing an extra layer of fat would help them stay warm. They went outside and tested their “fat mitten” in a snow bank. Indeed, most of their hands stayed warm with the “blubber mitten.”

fighters, Inc., donated over $500 in toys and gifts to the Pulaski Food Pantry in December.

“We saw a need to help fami-lies in need for this holiday season,” said Officer Bruce Brzeczkowski.

The firefighters got a list from the school program “Adopt a Family” for what they would

like donors to acquire for area families. The firemen’s spouses and friends did the shopping for the gifts. The shoppers included Karla Killinger, Sandra Styczyn-ski, Allison Laine, Rose Effert, and Holly Liss.

The firefighters would like to thank the individuals that helped for their time spent giving back to the community.

Countryside 4-H Club held its monthly meeting at Pulaski High School. Following the meeting the club’s Christmas party was held.

At the meeting, club members determined a day to go tubing. After coming up with a few days, members voted and came to the winning choice of January 30, and the second day as February 13, both taking place in Oconto Falls. Members were told to bring their own tubes. There was a motion made by Dustin Graf and a second motion from Nathan Ferfecki to donate $50 to the Oconto Lions Club.

This year for a club fund-raiser we have decided to sell Se-roogy’s candy bars and new this year, flower bulbs.

The club has also decided to have another White Elephant Auction this year. Then the money that’s raised is donated to the Cerebral Palsy Telethon.

4-H members had a great time at the last club meeting.

Members in the dairy project are able to participate in the State Dairy Quiz Bowl in Portage, Wisconsin on Febru-ary 5. Members came up and told everyone about their prog-ress during quiz bowl practices. Members meet most Sundays and get to learn about many things in the dairy project.

Finally, to end the meeting, club leader, Mrs. Peter-man announced the 2010 club point winners. Members were also reminded to sign up for monthly activities such as birth-day cupcakes, 4-H calendar, Chamber of Commerce sign, and food serving schedule.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month and Pulaski Sting Cancer would like to con-tinue in their efforts to reduce the effects of cancer in our commu-nity by raising awareness for this month.

Cervical Cancer occurs in women often between the ages of 35 and 55 and is also one of the most preventable types of cancer, according to the Gyneco-logic Cancer Foundation (GCF). The GCF explains that women are in control of most of the risk factors, which include smoking, a weak immune system, diet, not knowing your family history, and the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. To reduce your risk for cervical cancer, the GCF encour-ages women to quit smoking and build up their immune system by eating a healthier diet that includes a lot of fruits and vegetables. The Foundation also recommends the HPV vaccine to further protect the patient should they decide to take that precaution. Additional-ly, knowing the family’s medical history will obviously allow the patient to determine if she is at a higher risk. Treatment for Cer-vical Cancer includes surgery or chemotherapy.

Remember that the Pulaski Sting Cancer Team not only brings awareness to the school and community, but also wishes to directly help members of the community affected by any type of cancer. The Sting Cancer Team can be contacted at [email protected] or to learn more about us, visit our website at phsstingcancer.weebly.com.

National Green Week is about to begin

Between the days of Febru-ary 7 to 11, National Green Week will be held. The point being spot-lighted is the importance of the environment and to educate stu-dents on going green—in hopes of empowering them to become more involved throughout the entire year in the green campaign.

Last year, there were over 100 thousand pounds of trash picked up within the week, and thou-sands of dollars were taken off school utility bills. Participants can do anything from picking up trash to doing the Green Energy Challenge, which was created by the Green Education Foundation. The foundation hopes that not just students, but families get in-volved outside of school as well.

For more information or ideas on how to help, call the Green Education Foundation at (888) 668-2298.

By Graham SeversonTwin Elm Gardens, a local

produce farm, is having a Com-munity-Supported Agriculture (CSA) program to provide fresh produce to its members through-out part of the year. A CSA program is a commitment between a person and a farm where the farm will provide members with a share of the farm’s produce for a fee. Twin Elm Garden’s CSA program will provide members with a weekly bag of a variety of fresh produce for 20 weeks start-ing from June 1 through October 12, 2011. Fresh greens and aspar-agus will fill the bag in the early seasons with tomatoes, cucum-bers, potatoes, carrots, and much more to follow.

The farm was founded in 2008 by Luke and Melissa Wojcik and is located just outside of Pulaski. Luke graduated from the Univer-sity of Wisconsin- Platteville with a degree in Horticulture while Melissa graduated from the Uni-versity of Wisconsin- Madison with a degree in Biology Educa-tion and is now a science teacher at Pulaski High School.

People may buy a full share, which will provide them with eight to twelve different fruits and vegetables every week. They come in a bag about the size of a large paper grocery bag. All of the foods are fresh and free of any harmful chemicals. Half shares are also available and will provide the same variety of foods but in a smaller quantity. Full shares will provide for about five people, while a half share will provide for up to three people. Both offers will provide for the full 20 weeks, and the bags can either be picked up at predetermined drop sites on a particular day and time, or bags can be delivered to member’s houses depending on their loca-tion. Costs can be paid fully in the beginning of the season or be split into two separate payments: once in the beginning of the season and again 10 weeks into the season.

There are also worker shares available. People may work five hours at the farm once a week during a weekday morning to earn CSA shares. These shares are limited though so contact the farm quickly for more informa-tion. Bulk fruits are also available during the middle to late seasons to buy at will.

topherson represented the Pulaski FFA Chapter at the Wisconsin Association of FFA Half-Time Leadership Conference, held at the Ramada Hotel in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, January 7 through 8. More than 400 FFA members, advisors, and state FFA officers participated.

The Half-Time Leadership Conference provides FFA chapter leaders from around the state the opportunity to set goals and prepare for the second half of their year of service in their local FFA chapters. FFA members attended workshops focused on leadership and personal development, mem-bership and chapter development, and opportunities in FFA. They also learned about preparing for FFA events putting together publicity materials and getting involved in community service. In addition, FFA members heard from Rick Henningfled and Ron Henningfled, past state FFA offi-cers and national FFA presenters, who presented motivational ad-dresses to the members on Satur-day morning.

The Half-Time conference has over 25-years of tradition for Wisconsin FFA members to bring top leaders together to assist in leadership development and local FFA chapter activities. This year’s leadership conference was designed and conducted by the 2010-2011 Wisconsin State FFA Officers. The theme of the confer-ence was “Progress throughout the Seasons.”

Katie Christopherson and Jared Kuczer are welcomed to the 2011 FFA Half-Time Conference in Stevens Point by State FFA President Alicia Hodnick.

Pulaski FFA attends State Leadership Conference

“Half-Time is one of the premier leadership conferences in our state and designed by student leaders. It allows FFA chapter leaders to develop their leader-ship skills, learn more about FFA activities and meet people while having fun,” said State FFA Ex-ecutive Director, Cheryl Zimmer-man. Zimmerman continued said, “We are able to provide young people with an excellent experi-ence to develop their leadership skills and get them excited about Agriculture, Agriculture Edu-cation and the FFA so they can build their local programs.”

FFA advisor Josh Rusk was also busy during the weekend, as he attended workshops to learn more about developing class-room curriculum and getting up-to-date on new materials for his Agricultural Education programs. Teachers were also involved in the Wisconsin Association of Agricultural Educators (WAAE) Board Meeting and Committee meetings.

The Wisconsin Association of FFA comprised of 250 local chap-ters in high schools across the state prepares nearly 18,000 stu-dents for leadership and careers in science, business, and technology of agriculture. FFA activities and programs complement instruc-tion in agriculture education by giving students practical experi-ence in the application of agricul-tural skills and knowledge gained in classes. FFA’s mission is to develop premier leadership, per-sonal growth and career success through agricultural education.

By Jake MartinOn January 14, the PHS guid-

ance office added a new type of scenery to the room—a fish tank. The guidance office wanted a more calming atmosphere for people to see before they go to their meetings.

The idea originated from Marc Richmond, an avid fish breeder in north-eastern Wisconsin. The original plan was to set up a salt water tank, and the tank was going to be placed in the guidance office for passer-bys to look at. The marine biology class would monitor and keep records of the tank as a class project. However, the cost for a marine system was too much, so the plan was con-verted to a less expensive fresh

agriscience teacher Joshua Rusk, the tank was installed and stocked with a few fish in two days by Marc Richmond and DJ Rynish. More fish are scheduled to be added in the future to add more size and color diversity. No work will be needed for the staff of the guidance, automatic lighting systems were put in, and various scheduled students take care of the daily tasks involved in the maintenance of the tank.

“The fish give the room much more character and something to look at,” said Kayla Laplante, senior class president of Pulaski High.

Megan Richard is the winner of the Glenbrook Geography Bee and Jake Vanderleest is the runner-up.

By Tammy BrzeczkowskiOn January 12, twenty-four

students from Glenbrook Elemen-tary School participated in a Ge-ography Bee.

Students were asked ques-tions in different categories. In round two of the contest, the category was unique in the fact that it focused on designs from the United States Mint’s 50 State Quarters Program. “A king stretching his hand toward a group of islands is portrayed on the quarter of which state—Florida or Hawaii?” was one of the questions asked.

There were seven rounds of competition which narrowed the pool of twenty-four students down to five. The winning question was “The site of an ancient lighthouse on the island of Pharos attracts

visitors to Alexandria, a port city in which African country?” The answer was Egypt.

Megan Richard, a fifth grader, took first in the event. Runner-up was Jake Vanderleest, grade four. Richard will now take a written exam to possibly qualify for state competition. Students with the top 100 scores are invited to the state level competition. The state winner continues on the national competition that is held in Wash-ington D.C. in May.

Jill Miller coordinated the competition. Ellen Melberg (fifth grade teacher) and Lori Krumrei (fourth grade teacher) helped to judge the event.

Congratulations to the students that participated.

Terrien has participated in Dramatics for three years; she previously was involved in Melo-drama and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

Besides portraying a wife, Terrien also paints sets and assists the parents who build the sets. Terrien considers staying serious while the kids are on stage to be the most difficult aspect of this year’s musical. Dramatics is re-warding to Terrien because it never gets boring and it takes up time.

Terrien is especially looking forward to this show; she said, “It will be a good laugh and the kids will be adorable to watch.”

Outside of Dramatics, Terrien is involved in cheerleading. After graduation, Terrien plans to attend college and aspires to become a veterinarian technician.

But with Button’s clear talent and to versatility he will surely be able master this role and reveal to the audience the true depth of a mountain.

Simpkins has been in four plays all together. Simpkins played in Hello Dolly, Villain took a Chip Shot, Footloose, and Winn Fairly. Simpkins has played many different parts, which helps with the production of this play.

The hardest part of Simpkins character is to keep the person’s personality going throughout the whole play. Simpkins thinks the best part about drama is that you start out with nothing and when it’s all done you have a nice show for many people to enjoy. Simp-kins says, “I am beyond excited to play my role this year.”

In addition to Dramatics, Simpkins is in many extra curric-ular activities like Environmental Science Club, boys swim team management, NHS, and Raider Crew.

Zach Wech asks Dave Cullin a question about the book Columbine via Skype.

By Brett Janssen On January 6, eEnglish 11

teachers set up a Skype session with Dave Cullen, the well-known author of the book Col-umbine. Juniors at Pulaski High School are required to take eEng-lish 11 where part of the curricu-lum is to read the book Colum-bine. The book goes into depth about the tragic school shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado on April 20, 1999. Roughly 120 students at-tended the Skype session where they learned a lot about Dave Cullen’s life and his Columbine experience.

Cullen spent 10 years of his life researching and writing his book. He was a reporter and writer at the time of the tragedy. Cullen was immediately put on the Col-umbine story; he never knew the story would take his career as far as it did.

Kim Noe, an eEnglish 11 teacher, set up and led the Skype session with Dave Cullen. Noe contacted Cullen hoping to set up a time and date for the students to Skype with Cullen. Cullen eagerly responded saying that he would love to Skype with Pulaski High School eEnglish 11 stu-dents.

“I feel very fortunate that Dave Cullen was able to connect with our students. For students to be able to see and relate to the author of their classroom text, was truly a once and a lifetime opportuni-ty,” said Noe.

Skype is a free way to make video calls via the Internet. By setting up a web cam and install-ing Skype you can make video calls for free to anyone anywhere that also has Skype. Cullen was in his New York apartment when he Skyped with eEnglish 11 stu-dents. Cullen was enthusiastic about seeing the students, making the event interesting, and enter-taining for everyone.

eEnglish 11 is a new course at Pulaski High School. The course is designed to link English to modern technology and 21st century skills. In class, every student has access to their own laptop and constantly is doing interactive activities online to

English 11 students Skype author Dave Cullen

improve their grammar and English skills. Students also write blogs and journals about essential themes and concepts covered in class. Skyping Cullen proved to be a great opportunity for the stu-dents to experience new technol-ogy at its finest.

The Skype session consisted of all current eEnglish 11 students going into the auditorium at PHS where a projector was hooked up to a laptop projecting Skype onto a huge screen. After a brief introduction for Cullen, fifteen previously selected students took turns approaching the camera, in-troducing themselves, and asking Cullen various questions about the book Columbine.

Cullen did a great job respond-ing and expanding on the students’ questions. He not only focused on all the horrors and sadness that surround the Columbine story but he told the students about many of his interesting experiences and the process he went through when putting together the book. Cullen did not write the book in chrono-logical order; he found a way to piece together the book to make a story that only has one climax to be intriguing throughout.

Nick Schumacher, an eEnglish 11 student, was the first person to approach the camera and ask Cullen a question.

Schumacher asked “What caused you to take such an inter-est in the Columbine shooting?”

Cullen said that he was unaware of the immensity of the tragedy until he arrived at the scene as a reporter and saw the helicopters circling overhead and all the security securing the pe-rimeter. Cullen then proceeded to tell the students all about how he got into researching Columbine to the great detail that he did.

The opportunity that the eEng-lish 11 students had to Skype with Cullen was an experience that they will never forget. By talking about the realities of Columbine, Cullen put the tragedy in perspec-tive for many students. Cullen’s outgoing personality and open-ness to all the students’ questions made the Skype interview very enjoyable for everyone in atten-dance.

eEnglish 11 students at PHS listen to the story of how Dave Cul-lin’s book Columbine was completed.

By Sam Schwartz Friends of Haiti (FOH) is an

organization in northeast Wis-consin with a chapter in Pulaski, which works to build a better Haiti. Currently, FOH is stationed in the mountain village of Grand Boulge in a region known as Tho-mazeau. The main objective of this organization is to continue aiding Haitians until the people are self-sustainable and have the skills needed to build better lives for themselves.

FOH mainly works to better medicine, educate the people, cleanse the water, revive the forests, and improve rabbit and growth production. Overall, Haiti hosts bad soil and terrain which makes a tough lifestyle for the Haitian people; Friends of Haiti provides assistance in this area as well as the others.

Recently, John Malcheski and his two daughters revisited the Thomazeau region of Haiti to get updates on their current projects set in place by Friends of Haiti. In recent months, Friends of Haiti has focused on rabbit produc-tion. Rabbit production can not only produce meat for these Hai-tians, but also provide a basis of income. Twenty-five rabbits were stationed in Grand Boulge as an enterprise for money. In order to sustain this rabbit population, FOH has also provided help in planting plants, trees, and other vegetation in the region wherev-er possible. These plants help to sustain the soil. Commercial rab-bitries have been formed in hopes to produce 300 to 400 rabbits per year. Rabbitries are basically roofs for the new vegetation.

As well as rabbit production, FOH has also been focusing on cleansing the water as well as the means of transportation of water. Currently, the walk to fresh water is a 2,100 foot walk. Due to this inconvenience, a pump was in-stalled on behalf of Friends of Haiti which lifts 300 gallons of water an hour to Thomazeau. The pump lifts water 400 feet up to Grand Boulge.

A cholera outbreak is the most recent Haitian problem in Thomazeau. It is believed that the cholera outbreak came from United Nations soldiers sent to the region from Southeast Asia because it has never been a problem in the past. FOH has also stepped in to purify the water for these people in order to prevent such epidemics.

Jean Mauisset is a partner to FOH and the project manager stationed in Thomazeau who was trained at Fox Valley Technical College in water management and quality. He, along with the Friends of Haiti organization has helped to distribute 400 gallons of bleach priced at $3,400 from the Dominican Republic in order to purify this water. It is proven that five drops of bleach can purify one gallon of water.

Finally, Friends of Haiti has also focused on starting adult lit-eracy classes for Haitians to better

By Laura Dahms According to 2008 Pulaski

High School graduate Dan Kizaur, son of Joe and Margie Kizaur, the University of Wiscon-sin Badger Band members are the Badgers’ “biggest fans.”

The band is one of the most prestigious university bands in the country. As well as majoring in physics education at the Uni-versity of Wisconsin—Madison, Kizaur is one of the over 300 band members in the Badger Band; he is a proud third-year representative of the Flugel horn section. All football season, the band played at every home game at Camp Randall Stadium, cheer-ing on the Badger football team. The band practices for two hours for four days a week throughout the season. With the whole state of Wisconsin, the band members were ecstatic that the Badger football team made it to the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena, Califor-nia—the first Rose Bowl game the football team had achieved since 2000.

Kizaur, unlike most, had had experience in Pasadena before. In 2007, as a Pulaski High School junior, Kizaur and the rest of the Red Raider Marching Band made their way to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl Parade.

“Being a member of the Red Raider Marching band prepared me for the Badger Band because I was prepared for the level of pres-

Kizaur experiences Rose Bowl twicesure that being a part of a presti-gious band requires,” said Kizaur. He also said that other Badger Band members had never had experience with high-stepping before joining, which is a skill well-practiced in the Red Raider Marching Band.

Because of Kizaur’s talent, he was selected to audition for the Badger Band as a freshman. Making it through the auditions was a huge accomplishment. Kizaur says that the Badger Band is a great way to meet new friends. Eventually, he says that these new friends become like family.

“I am always hanging out with my band friends,” said Kizaur.

As soon as the Badger Band found out they’d be traveling to Pasadena, the band began to prepare. They had a month until the game that would take place on New Year’s Day—January 1, 2011. In that month, their con-ditioning routines were amped up and they redid an entire field show.

Once in Pasadena, the band enjoyed the recognition that they received from the Badger fans in the area. Kizaur claims that, because he and other band members announced that they were “with the band,” they were allowed to cut through a two and a half hour-long line.

“Pasadena was great! Ev-erywhere we went, there were Badger Fans,” said Kizaur.

The 2007 Pulaski Red Raider Marching Band was thrilled to play in Pasadena, California for the Rose Bowl Parade.

Dan Kizaur and his sister Michelle Kizaur stand together when the PHS Red Raider Marching Band marched in the Rose Bowl Parade in 2007.

Dan Kizaur plays his flugel horn with the Badger Band in the stands at the Rose Bowl Game on January 1, 2011.

Dan Kizaur and fellow Wisconsin Badger Band members stand outside the Rose Bowl Stadium

During the game’s half time show, the Texas Christian Uni-versity Horned Frog Band played.

Kizaur said, “The TCU band looked like they had a lot of fun, but the Wisconsin Spirit has no competition.”

Even though the Badger Foot-ball team suffered a biting loss against the Texas Christian Uni-versity team of 21-19, they fought hard, and they had the support of the Badger Band during the fifth quarter show, a tradition for the band for many years. Thousands of spectators remained after the game to watch and listen to the band.

Kizaur was thrilled to go to the Rose Bowl festivities twice, though he said it was an extreme honor to play at the Rose Bowl Stadium, with the Badger football team playing there as well. He plans to continue on in the Wis-consin Badger Band for his re-maining years at the University of Wisconsin. Pulaski is exception-ally proud of Kizaur’s continued successes in all of his academic and musical accomplishments.


By Chelsea Bartz Rebecca Tauscher, daughter

of Kim and Raymond Tauscher, is contributing in her first musical The King and I this year as Eliza, a dancer.

Tauscher plays Eliza, the char-acter that represents Tuptim. She portrays how Tuptim feels about being a gift to the king. Tuptim translated “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” into a ballet and Eliza is the main dancer.

“I’m excited to participate in my first high school musical, and I’m very happy I received a dancing part,” says Tauscher.

The most challenging thing for Tauscher is learning to dance the way the people in Siam would dance.

“Dramatics is a rewarding experience because you meet so many talented people. It also lets people show their passion—for me that is dance!” says Tauscher.

In addition to dramatics, Tauscher participates in the marching band, LEO Club, Raider Crew, NHS, dance classes at Northern Academy in Howard, and the lead dance teacher for the PACE program.

After high school, Tauscher plans on attending Michigan State University for chemistry and eventually go into forensics science. Tauscher would also like to continue her dance career through and after college.

Berchem has been participat-ing in Dramatics for four years; she was previously a member of the cast in Big, Guys and Dolls, and Footloose.

Besides dancing throughout the musical, Berchem helped with painting sets. Berchem con-siders the most challenging part of her role to be learning the various styles of dance. However, Berchem enjoys meeting new people through Dramatics and thinks it is a lot of fun.

Lohrenz has been participat-ing in Dramatics for three years; he was also involved in Footloose and Hello Dolly.

In Lohrenz’s opinion, the most difficult aspect of this year’s pro-duction is memorizing all the songs. But he thoroughly enjoys his time involved in Dramatics and likes going to musical prac-tice every day.

Besides Dramatics, Lohrenz partakes in soccer, softball, bas-ketball, cross country, bowling, choir, and community choir. After graduation, Lohrenz plans on entering the work force.

Anklam has done nine shows. The King and I will be her tenth show. Anklam is also in NHS, Choir, Choir council, and Spanish Club.

The role that Anklam will be playing is a royal wife who is from Siam and is married to the king.

“Since we are only in the first stages of rehearsals, I am excited to see it all come together,” said Anklam about the upcoming show.

“The most challenging aspect is the character development when in a chorus,” said Anklam.

“I enjoy when you perform for an audience that truly enjoys watching the show and gets some-thing out of the production,” said Anklam when asked what makes Dramatics so rewarding.

Anklam’s personal future plans are to study psychology,

This is Lotter’ fifth year par-ticipating in dramatics, she previ-ously was involved in Big, Guys and Dolls, Hello Dolly, Foot-loose, and Twice Upon a Time.

Besides dazzling audiences with her singing and dancing, Lotter also lent her great artistic abilities to the Art Crew. In Lot-ter’s opinion the most challenging aspect of this year’s production is going to be dyeing her hair black.

However, Lotter consid-ers Dramatics very rewarding, stating, “I really enjoy dancing out the fever.”

Lotter is also involved in cross country running, track, basket-ball, and softball. After gradua-tion Lotter is planning to attend school until she keels over dead. Not really, but she aspires to enter medical studies, which will require many years of strenuous education.

Denzer has been participat-ing in dramatics for four years; he previously held roles in The Comic Book Artist, Wind of a Thousand Sails, The Villain Took Chip Shot, Home, Wynn Fairly, and The Pretentious Ladies.

When asked to comment on the upcoming show, Denzer stated, “It’s going to blow you’re mind, prepare to rock.”

In Denzer’s opinion, the most difficult aspect of the production this year is, “Probably getting a six pack because my shirt has to be off. Actually never mind, the hardest part has been incorporat-ing GTL (gym, tan, laundry) into my daily routine.”

Dramatics is a rewarding ex-perience for Gavin because it is fun and he enjoys finishing a show, he also likes to make other people happy.

Besides Dramatics, Denzer is involved in FFA, Leo Club,

This is Dummer’s third year participating in Dramatics; he was previously involved in Once Upon a Mattress, Footloose, Hello Dolly, and Villain Took a Chip Shot.

Dummer considers at-tending practice daily to be the most difficult aspect of participat-ing in this year’s show. Dummer thinks Dramatics is a rewarding experience because, “The per-formances are a “high,” and they are worth the rehearsal work. The adrenaline rush of a performance is incredible.”

Besides dramatics, Dummer is involved in youth group, com-munity choir, church praise team, and he plays the piano.

Reynolds has been participat-ing in dramatics for seven years; he was previously involved in Big, Guys and Dolls, Fiddler on the Roof, Hello Dolly, and Foot-loose.

Besides acting in various roles, Brandon helped the produc-tion by gracing it with his great presence. He is looking forward to this year’s show. Dramatics is a rewarding experience for Reyn-olds because he is able to spend time with all his friends; he also enjoys the end product of the hard work the cast and crew puts forth.

Swimming and Diving team had an exciting weekend, consist-ing of three different invitation-als. On the night of January 7, the boys competed at Lawrence University, highlights included Christian Jabkowski finishing seventh in the 100 breaststroke, Gavin Denzer swimming under one minute in the 100 Freestyle, and Matt Shier dropping 31 seconds in the 500 Freestyle.

On January 8, diver Trevor Shadick finished 13th at the Neenah Invitational, while the swimmers placed 8th at the She-boygan North Relay Invitational. Highlights included a third place finish in diving by Nelson De-Cleene and Bryan Sundstrom, and a fourth place finish by the breast-stroke relay of Andrew Kizaur, Kevin Simoens, Matt Shier, and Christian Jabkowski.

Swimming and diving team is successful

By Brett Janssen On January 7, The Red Raider

Boys Basketball team took a loss at Sheboygan South with a score of 59-47. Sheboygan South took an early lead and never looked back as they found ways to break down Pulaski’s defense.

Pulaski could not get their offense in sync, and they only scored 19 first-half points. Cody Wichmann scored 12 points and Spencer Lawniczak added 7.

The Raiders sparked a fourth quarter comeback, but it was too little too late. Pulaski’s bench played well, forcing the Red Wings to put their starters back in to stop the Raiders’ run.

The Raiders have many more opportunities and challenges this year. Pulaski plans to improve their pressure defense and offen-sive flow before tournament time.

wrestlers visited the Bay Port Pirates in an FRCC match. The match started at the 112 weight class, where Brett Hendzel battled a tough Chase Farr of the Pirates. Farr took the 3-0 victory and gave the Pirates an early lead. At the 119 weight class, Jacob Synder-gaard gave the Raiders their first points of the night with a pin in one minute and 20 seconds. Trevor Lardinois lost a hard fought match 8-0 to the Pirates’ Alex Blaney at the 125 weight class. Erik Beckman wrestled a good match and won 5-0 against Jacob Jossart for the Pirates at the 135 weight class. Shane Re-inhard won 4-3 in a good wres-tling match against Weston May-ville at the 145 weight class. At

152, Alex Caelwaerts wrestled Mike Thomas and took home the victory on a close 3-0 win. Dan Irwin wrestled Andrew Wojkie-wicz in a close match but ended up losing 4-3 in the final seconds. At 189, Stephen Wisniewski got a major decision over Skyler Adamski 11-0. At 215, Tyler Rush took the victory 6-0 in a good match against Joe Kitslaar. Nevada Skenandore won a close match against Garrett Heder 5-4 at 285 to give the Raiders a three point lead heading into the last match of the night. At the 103 pound weight class, Chantel Stre-blow wrestled Chad Osmanski of the Pirates. Osmanski got the pin and gave the pirates the win 27-24.

“I love coaching wrestling because it’s a lot like seeing that ‘Ah-ha,’ moment for a student in the classroom. There are times when a wrestler just makes a connection to the principles, techniques, and approach we are trying to instill in them. For me, when I see that connection made in competition, I just get amped,” said Head Coach Terry Manning.

Basketball team crushed the visit-ing Sheboygan South Redwings with a score of 52-22. The Red Raiders scored at least 11 points each quarter while limiting the Redwings to less than 9. Brooke Lauritzen scored a game-high 22 points while Mallory Nickerson added 12 and Tasha Giese had 10.

In a nonconference matchup on January 11, the Pulaski Girls Basketball team traveled to Neenah High School and beat the Rockets with a score of 49-24. The Raiders started off strong, scoring 16 points in the first quarter and continued to add to their lead the rest of the game. Brooke Laurit-zen scored 14 points and Mallory Nickerson put up 10 for the Red Raiders.

Girls basketball stays strong

By Brooke LauritzenOn January 14, the freshman,

JV, and Varsity Sheboygan North Girls Basketball teams traveled to Pulaski with undefeated records. The Pulaski freshmen team took the lead in the third quarter but eventually fell to the visitors. The JV team came back from an early first quarter deficit and handed North their first loss of the season. At the Varsity level, the visitors came out shooting the ball well, but Pulaski overpowered the Golden Raiders with a strong inside game. They played with an intense defense and pulled away with a 59-39 win. Pulaski only allowed 14 Sheboygan points in the second half. Brooke Laurit-zen scored 18 points for the Red Raiders and Tasha Giese fol-lowed with nine.

By Shane Reinhard On January 13, the Pulaski

Wrestling team faced the She-boygan North Golden Raiders. Also, Pulaski held the 2011 sea-son’s Alumni Night right before the varsity match. In honor of the Pulaski Alumni, wrestlers wrestled in throwback singlets and came out with the drive for a big win. Falling short the first two matches, Pulaski’s very own Tyler Rusch and Nevada Ske-nandore picked up two big falls, giving Pulaski the lead. Wrestling strong throughout the night, the Raiders picked up a great 50-19 victory.

Head coach Terry Manning said, “Our team put forth a solid effort against North. They’ve got a few horses on their team.

Pulaski Wrestlers win big for Alumni

The Pulaski PYO 8th Grade Girls Basketball team won first place at the Little Chute basketball tournament that happened on January 15 and 16.

By Brett JanssenOn January 18, Pulaski Boys

Varsity Basketball team put the pressure on Green Bay Preble early in the game and didn’t look back. Pulaski’s zone defense shut down the Preble offense and never let up, outscoring the Hornets 25-13 in the first half. Pulaski went on to win the game 43-29, improving their record to 9-3.

Cody Wichmann led the Raiders in scoring with 17 points. Jordan Stiede and Jake Kolinski added 7 points each. Pulaski’s offense is still not in full stride, the Raiders must figure out ways to score more efficiently before play-off time.

Red Raiders overcome Hornets

Rothwell at 171, Caelwarts at 189, and Perl at 119 are all state medal caliber wrestlers, and we battled with them. We wanted to come out and wrestle strong on Alumni Night. The wrestlers and the crowd got a little buzz from the throwback singlets, but the best way to honor our alumni is to wrestle hard and keep the tradi-tion going.”

With two duals left in the con-ference, Pulaski will take on Ash-waubenon and Green Bay West/Southwest. Needing to capitalize big in both duals, Pulaski fights to keep hope for a conference cham-pionship plaque in the month of January.

The Chase Stone Barn will be part of a community event being held on January 29, at Sled Fest in North Chase. The 1903 Stone Barn is on the State and National Registry of Historic Places, and is one of the last surviving all-fieldstone barns in the country. The town bought the barn so they could protect it and is making it part of their new Chase Stone Barn Park. The Stone Barn Com-mittee has put in a lot of time and effort into coordinating a day full of fun events at the Stone Barn, which will include a Hole-In-One Golf Contest starting at 11 a.m. for $5 each. The first 200 people will get a chance to win a new snowmobile if they can hit a hole-in-one from a distance. Another fun event will be turkey bowling. The barn will also be open for viewing and Stone Barn merchan-dise will be available for sale with all proceeds going towards the restoration of the barn. Parking will be available at the barn, or you can take the shuttle bus there from one of the other locations where Sled Fest is being held, or ride your sled on a temporary trail to the barn the day of the special event.

The Sled Fest event is being presented by the Krakow High Noon Riders and Chase Sno-Chasers Snowmobile clubs, along with Chase Stone Barn. Area snowmobile clubs came together with area businesses to help keep our passion for snowmobiling local. We all know that snowmo-biling is an important part of the state’s winter tourism, so we are making that effort to keep it local. With the help of many volunteers, and hopefully a “little” more snow, we are looking forward to an awesome Sled Fest! There will be lots of prizes, and the proceeds from the event will be returned to the three presenting organizations.

The First Annual Snowmo-bile Speed Runs will be held at Rusty’s Sled Shop on County S in Sobieski. Pre-registration will take place from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., and Speed Runs will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Following the Speed Runs there will be a Miss and Mrs. Snow Bunny contest at North Chase for those over 21 years of age. One rule is that the contestant must have a matching winter outfit, and will participate in variety of challenges; such as, hula hooping, snowball throw-ing, and eating carrots! If in-terested you may pre-register at North Chase Bar & Grill – and don’t forget there will be prize money for the first and second place winners! Also, there will be music in the evening by New Generations at North Chase Bar & Grill.

The vision of the group was to come up with a community event – to promote our surround-ing communities working to-gether. Bruce Rowell, of Access Engineering LLC, belongs to the Krakow High Noon Riders and was instrumental in the vision of this community event featuring

snowmobiling. He enjoys the sport, and looks forward to giving back to the community through this event. Bruce has created a four-county snowmobile map, which makes traveling from one county to another county easier and is very user friendly. His map is located at North Chase Bar & Grill – so when you are there be sure to check it out. Bruce also indicated that by inviting the Stone Barn to participate in the event, this has brought another community spotlight to the fore-front.

Dan Beaudoin, of ProScape Lawn Care & Landscaping LLC, will be keeping the roads and parking lots clear for the event (and the Farmers’ Almanac has plenty of snow predicted for the next couple of weeks.) He enjoys being involved in various com-munity events. Beaudoin has been in the Pulaski area for many years, has volunteered at Polka Days for many years, and is very supportive of sporting events.

There has been a lot of time and effort put into coordinating the food and activities for this event, so please be sure to check out one the following locations: the Stone Barn, Rusty’s Sled
