Pulaski Rugby wins State back-to-back Garden of Heroes On every Memorial Day there
By Emily Smithback Memorial Day is one day out of the year, set aside to honor Americans sacrifices for freedom. One attendee said it best, Memorial Day gives people who havent served an opportunity to honor people because freedom isnt free. However, the reverence Americans show for their honored deceased should be a never-ending display.
PULASKI, WISCONSIN
are thousands of ceremonies held in communities around this country to honor fallen heroes in their own special way. The people of Green Bay are no different. One such ceremony takes place on the east side of Green Bay at the beautiful Nicolet Memorial Gardens. The Pulaski High School Choir set the mood of the ceremony singing a beautiful rendition of God Bless America.

By Griffin Cleereman and Parker Christiansen For the second year in a row, the Pulaski Roos have won first place in the Wisconsin State Rugby Tournament. This year, the event was held in Fond du Lac, May 22. Being part of the team and the championship was well worth it, said Pulaski senior Sam Caldwell, lets just say back-toback. The Roos went into the tournament with a record of 13-1, taking third place in the Midwest National Rugby Tournament and being undefeated in the conference. All season, we knew that we would be in tough games, so we practiced really hard and had the mindset that we were going to dominate every team. Nothing we did could have been done if we didnt have the coaching we had from Fran, J.J., Travis, and a few old boys, said team captain, Charles Koehler. The Roos first game on Saturday was played against Nicolet, a team theyve played in the cham-
pionship for the last two years and defeated for the title last year. We played a very good team; they were strong in all of their positions. I enjoyed the time I spent playing for the Roos and playing for our coaches, said senior Jordan Butcher. The Roos ended up winning 29-10, guaranteeing a spot in the championship game against Muskego, a team no one on the Roos team had played before. The Roos knew the next game they played, which was the last game some would ever play, would be their hardest. I was nervous, but I knew we would win. Our team was too good to lose, said Ben Thiem. The team was determined they would win; no team was more conditioned or prepared for this game. We put so much hard work and dedication into the season that taking anything less than first place would have been a disappointment. We werent the biggest-sized team in the tournament, but we played the most as a team, and we played with a lot
By Griffin Cleereman Most people take for granted what Memorial Day really means. Memorial Day is a day to remember, to give thanks to the men and women who have gave their lives to protect our country, and to honor those who are around the
of heart, said captain Race Noeldner. Pulaski played a hard game and, only being down once in the first half, came away with the win of 25-12. It felt absolutely amazing to go out there and win a second state title. We knew we had the talent and experience to do it, and we just went out there and got the job done, said Nevada Skenandore. Pulaski Roos were State Champions once again, and even better, the Pulaski B team took first in the N.E.W. Tournament. Having never played rugby in my life and to come in and help win the state championship is now my greatest accomplishment. I wouldnt have been able to get there if it wasnt for the hard work that my teammates and coaches put in over the season, said senior Zach Webster. Pulaski Rugby couldnt have asked for a better day with both the A and the B teams taking first in their tournaments. The Roos owe their wins to the hard work they put in at practice and to a dedicated coaching staff. of Honor for the sacrifice he gave. Sadly, the one million men and woman who died in service to this nation in wars and conflicts since 1775 cant be replaced. All thats left is a nation in their debt. We are reminded that they died so we could live and continue to cherish the things they loved: God, country, and family, said Holl. Holl concluded his speech by thanking the men and woman serving in todays armed forces serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, North Africa, and over 130 foreign lands around the world. After his speech, Auxiliary President Sue Winter read the names of 13 men from our local community who were killed in action along with the placing of the wreaths.

Community
Positively Pulaski website begins
From now on, citizens of the Pulaski Community School District have a place they can go to find out about all the events and happenings in the Pulaski Community School District. Its a website called Positively Pulaski. Citizens can Google Positively Pulaski or type in the address www.positivelyPulaski.org and they will see a community calendar that lists events and happenings in the Pulaski community. Several months ago, PACE Director Mark Heck, was saddened by the fact that he didnt know about the American Legion Smelt Fry. He said Wouldnt it be great if there was one place that people could go to see all the great events that are happening in our community. The idea was born and with the help of Ken Westphal, the districts website developer, the Positively Pulaski website was created. Groups and organizations from throughout the community who want to publicize their events can submit their events to the website. Events will be sent to the school district and be reviewed by Trudy Wied who will then post the events on the calendar. Citizens from the district are encouraged to view the calendar often to see the many great events and happenings in the community. The Positively Pulaski website links with many other websites from groups, organizations, local churches in our community and municipalities including the new Village of Pulaski website. In essence, the Positively Pulaski website can become a one-stop shop for all of the Pulaski area information. Citizens are encouraged when they are looking for special events in our community to visit www. positivelyPulaski.org

NorthStar reveals findings from the Pulaski area Economic Opportunity Study
By Sara Brown and Alexandria Schmidt On May 24, Dr. David Ward of NorthStar Economics, Inc., presented the findings of the Economic Opportunity Study. After touring, interviewing, and analyzing the district, he and his associate created a roadmap for the Pulaski community. He has created an economic opportunity list in order to stimulate the process. He states that all of the opportunities could not be taken on all at once so he has created a priority list in order to succeed. Village president Keith Chambers said, This is an important step to help move the entire area forward, and we will take advantage of changing and bettering economic conditions. Priority one, which would take place in one to two years, consists of growing the Pulaski area economic development organizational structure and its capacity to work at economic development and to develop business opportunities around the concept of a local food cluster. The cluster would include agricultural producers, food processors, food markets, and retailers. The Pulaski Area Economic Development Corporation has been resurrected. Local businesses and community leaders will serve on the Board of Directors. The Economic Developing Corporation will actively and aggressively work on developing our local economy. They will use the Economic Opportunity study as a roadmap for economic development. Food clusters are a great way to bring in people to the city of Pulaski. It is an opportunity for growth of existing and attraction of new agricultural processors. Local sourcing of food could be used as well. Priority two, which would take place in two to four years, consists of developing middle and high end housing, working on building a regional identity, retaining and growing existing businesses, and developing tourism and destination programs and activities. Pulaski has a high quality of life, small town appeal, high quality schools, and generally favorable housing prices, which will continue to attract residence. Part of the growth should be aimed at high-end residential housing; higher-priced housing will help build the tax base of the community. Although Polka days is a great tourist attraction, more attractions need to be utilized, such as the Mountain Bay Trail and other sporting events. Priority three, which would take place in the intermediate and long term, consists of developing retail, restaurant, hotel businesses, and international businesses. Economic development in the village could be started off by encouraging new businesses such as hotels, banquet facilities, retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment options to locate in Pulaski. It is also important to retain and grow existing businesses while using government programs (incentives) to aid existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses. The entire economic opportunity study can be found at the school districts website, www. connect.pulaski.k12.wi.us, and the new village of Pulaski website, www.thevillageofpulaski.org.

Submitted by the Town of Chase On May 27 fifth grade students from Sunnyside Elementary School experienced a piece of Wisconsins rich agricultural history when they toured the 1903 Chase Stone Barn in the Town of Chase, Pulaski. The Stone Barn is on the State and National Reg-
ister of Historic Places and is one of the last surviving all-fieldstone barns in the country. The students began their tour at the site of the old farm house, which was built in 1887. The house burned down around 1940, and all that remained over the years was a pile of rocks and debris in a barely visible hole. The town hired Archaeologist Bob Fay last fall to excavate the hole to identify and document the parameters of the house foundation and look for artifacts. Fay was able to expose the entire house cellar and is now working on finding the remaining stone foundation walls, which were part of the L-shaped house. When the students were asked what they thought the hole was, they had no idea since it doesnt resemble anything like todays modern basement. One student thought it was for swimming in. Needless to say, the students were very fascinated with the archaeology. The children then made their own history by being the first group of students to ever tour the stone barn. They were so excited and full of questions, said Kristin Kolkowski from the Stone Barn Committee. They wanted to know every detail about the barn. Before the students departed, Kolkowski asked them if they thought it was a good idea to preserve such an old barn, and they all agreed it was a really good thing to do. When asked what they all thought about the stone barn, they said, This is cool! This is awesome! It is so rewarding to see how excited the kids were about preserving a piece of Wisconsins history, Kolkowski said. They are the main reason we are doing this.

Common School funds sent to District
By Ciara Richardson and Erika Lambert Pulaski Community School district receives $128,948 from Common School Fund payments. Common School Fund payments to public school districts throughout the state totaled $32 million in aid for the purchase of books, media materials, and computer equipment for school libraries. The library aid payments are $25.85 per student for the 1,236,756 children between the ages of 4 and 20 living in each school district. Aid is from Common School Fund proceeds and represents the only state aid specifically designated for the purchase of materials for school libraries. The aid payment from the Common School Fund went to districts on April 26 and must be used by June 30 for items cited in statue. School libraries support student learning, said State Superintendent Tony Evers. Our students need a rich supply of resources in the school library to augment classroom activities. Thee Common School Fund Aid payments are welcome investment in our student education. The Common School Fund is made up of revenues from civil and criminal fees, fines and forfeitures, timber revenue from public trust lands, and revenues from the states Unclaimed Property Program. This principal is used to make loans to local governments and school districts for building, roads, sewer and water facilities, equipment, recreational facilities, economic development, and other public purposes under the State Trust6 Fund Loan Program. Some of the principal also is invested in state and local bonds. Funds not committed to loans or bonds are deposited in the State Investment Fund.
The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows. ~Sydney J. Harris

By Steven Schlender The Pulaski Technology Education Department held its first annual Engineering Night on May 19. It was a night used to highlight the Project Lead the Way pre-engineering students and their work over the course of the year. Students from the Intro to Engineering Design, Civil Engineering and Architecture, and Engineering Design and Development were all present with their accomplishments. The main focus of the evening, however, was on the eight senior Engineering Design and Development students and their projects. Over the course of the year, the three groups of students, two groups of three and one group of two, had worked on a project to solve a real world problem. The students used all of their cumulative engineering knowledge to produce prototypes to solve their respective problems. The Clean Cash group of Marlo Vercauteren, Chris Shaw, and Tim Stone created a bill cleaning device utilizing a printer mechanism and ultraviolet lighting. The Hand Free Hydration group of Steven Schlender and Jacob Vanderloop created a completely hands free drinking fountain with the ability to adjust the amount of flow coming out of the nozzle. The
Secure Elevation group of Ethan Archambault, David Nooyen and Ethan Steeno created a working platform attachable to an extension ladder for a safe working environment on top of the ladder. These students were given the opportunity to present their projects before a board of judges from the Pulaski community. The judges assessed the students of their presentation skills, communication skills and overall projects. Overall, the night was a great success, the students were able to wonderfully display all of their hard work from the year, and everyone did very well in their presentations. The department is looking forward to future success with this venue.

Carl Treankler, Terry Hanstedt, Larry Treankler and Gary Lofquist of MCL stand together in Washington, D.C.

The Jeffrey Butland Family Owned Small Business award recognizes MCL for their hard work, innovative ideas, and dedication to the community, as well as for their role in driving the nations economic growth. MCL was built on family and continues to grow with our extended family of management and employees, said Carl Treankler, Director of New Product Introduction. Its about relationships,
trust, and doing whatever it takes to get the job done.

Thursday, June 17, 2010 substantial time for building your savings and doing price comparisons. In addition, it will give you time to make sure you really want the item. Compare prices. Prices can vary significantly depending on the time of year, type of retailer and more. Do a general search online or visit competing retailers to find the best price. In addition, ask the salesperson what types of sales or promotions may be coming up in case it would benefit you more to wait to make the purchase. Figure out how much cash you will need and how much you plan to finance. Its important that you do not drain your entire savings account in order to make the down payment on your purchase. Calculate your monthly payments ahead of time and make sure you have enough in reserve to continue making payments should you have an emergency that requires unplanned spending. Consider hidden costs that come with the purchase. Items like new cars and new homes come with additional costs besides the purchase of the actual item. Make sure you plan for these as well. For instance, homes need to furnished and property taxes need to be paid. With news cars, insurance costs could increase and gas mileage could decrease. The most important thing to remember if youre in the market to make a major purchase in the near future is to use caution. Make sure you do your research and can afford the purchase even if your income stops. If you need help or have questions about your finances talk with your local banker.
