John and Mary Kurzynski,

of Pulaski, recently received a2011 Community Quarterback Award from the Green BayPackers. The awards are pre-sented to individuals who dem-onstrate excellent volunteerismin their community.

The Kurzynskis have beenvolunteering at the Pulaski FoodPantry since 1995, when their oldest son, now age 32, was justa sophomore in high school. As

part of their award, the pantrywill receive a $2,000 grant fromthe Green Bay Packers organiza-tion.

While Mary worked as ateacher at Pulaski High School,she got students in French andSpanish club involved in the

pantry as part of their clubs’

community service projects.While she is now retired, shestill enjoys working with highschool students.

French and Spanish club stu-dents continue to volunteer their time at the pantry.

“I like working with thekids because it’s amazing tosee their reaction and how theyfeel about doing this,” Kurzyn-

ski said. “You can see in their

faces that they feel good aboutwhat they’re doing. I likeworking on the pantry daystoo, because you can see howappreciative the people are for what we’re doing for them as acommunity.”

The Kurzynskis have alsoserved on the Pantry Boardof Directors, as well as nu-merous other community or-ganizations. John is involvedwith pantry events as a scoutleader and Mary is one of PACE’s STEP workers, whovolunteers her time at schoolsthroughout the Pulaski Com-munity School District.

Seventeen years after they rst began volunteering,Pantry Director, Deb Sch-

neider, nominated the Kurzyn-skis for the award. Accordingto Schneider, the Kurzynskiscontinually demonstrate their dedication to the pantry byworking on Pantry Patron de-livery days, volunteering tolead student groups doing fooddrives and pre-bagging grocer-ies.

Despite the Kurzynskis

extensive involvement, Marywas still surprised to learn shehad been nominated for theaward.

“I was visiting my son inMinnesota when I openedand saw the email from Deb,”Mary Kurzynski said. “Ialmost fell off my chair. Wedon’t volunteer to get awards.”

As part of their award, theKurzynskis attended a cer-emony at Lambeau Field onThursday, January 12. Theevent honored all the indi-viduals from throughout Wis-consin who were named 2011Community Quarterbacks, andfeatured Mark Murphy as thekeynote speaker.

Hobart welcomes assisted living facility The Village of Hobart of -

cially welcomed a new assist-ed living facility to its Centen-nial Centre development witha ground-breaking ceremonyon Friday, January 20. TheAngelus Retirement Village of Hobart will feature more than50 units and is set to open inJuly 2012.

According to HobartVillage President RichardHeidel, the Angelus Retire-ment Community will ful lla currently unmet need inHobart while also enhancingthe village’s property tax base.The addition of the retirementvillage should also increaseCentennial Centre’s sense of community, Heidel added.

“We’ve already got allkinds of single-family dwell-ings, a few multi-family struc-tures, and we’ve got somelight industrial, so this kindof rounds out the portfolio,”Heidel said.

Planning for the AngelusRetirement Village beganabout a year and a half agoafter its developers, JerryBechard and Vince Cassiani,of JV Management, met withElaine Willman, Hobart’s Di-rector of Community Develop-ment and Tribal Affairs.

Hobart wanted to providean opportunity for multi-gen-erational families that grewup in the village to stay in thearea, according to Willman,and believed that an assistedliving community could helpreach that goal.

After village of cialsreached out to Cassiani, whohas owned and operated nu-merous other assisted livingfacilities throughout NortheastWisconsin, he and Bechard,who is an area developer,studied the region to determinethe appropriate size and loca-tion of the facility.

Page - 2 Pulaski News -Thursday, January 26, 2012

by Cody KroppAfter decades of being

protected, wolves are now off the endangered species list inWisconsin, following yearsof record population growththroughout the state. Accordingto recent estimates by the Wis-

consin Department of NaturalResources, Wisconsin current-ly has a population of over 800wolves. While this will uctu-ate in upcoming years, it’s a far cry from 1960 when the statewolf population was zero.

Most of the wild dogs livein the northern half of the state.Although native to Wiscon-sin, and its northern areas, thewolves now pose a major risk to key parts of local economies,threatening animals such aslivestock, deer, elk and domes-tic as well as hunting dogs.

Since the wolves were re-introduced to the state by con-cerned citizens and the WDNR,local residents have alwayshad a strong view on bringing

the animals back to Wiscon-sin. This is especially true of hunters who, after spendingso much time in the woodsthroughout the year, can oftensee rst-hand the effect thesewild animals can have on Wis-consin’s landscape.

The fact is that wolves are anuisance to hunters of all kindsand should be managed.

As a local deer hunter, I havefound that this is an importantsubject for many of my fellowhunters as well. Deer hunterswho have ever hunted north of State Highway 64, which runseast and west near the northern

part of the state, have seen rsthand how the deer populationhas been suffering in recent

years and know that wolf popu-lations need to be managed likeevery other animal in the state.

The wolf has been knownto be smart enough to use deer

bait piles as a source of food, but, as hunters know, it’s notcorn they are interested in. Adeer when young, weak, or running in deep snow, poses aneasy target for the social wolf.

The intelligent fur bearingdogs have instinctual hunting

tactics that allow them to getwhat they want, and that’soften a full belly.

Wolves have also begunto move into small northerntowns, often following thedeer that have moved towardsmore populated areas in an

effort to escape the wolvesthat are hunting them. Thesame situation has occurredwith elk in the Northwoodsareas of the state: the animalsare making their way intotowns to escape the wild dogs.

The next problem with populations of wolves in bignumbers is that it interfereswith bear hunting, whichis a major tourist attractionfor Wisconsin. When bear hunters send their dogs intodense forests, they have no

protection for their prizedanimals besides a little bell onthe dog’s collar and a track-ing system. If a dog happensto enter wolf territory whilehunting, it never ends good.

A normal sized bear-hunting dog weighs between50 and 75 pounds and, when

ghting a pack of 100-poundwolves, the dog is normallyfound as a pile of bones. Toa hunter this is the worst pos-sible way a hunt can end.

Not only did the hunter lose a pal, but he is often outhundreds, if not thousands,of dollars. A good huntingdog, depending upon how itis trained, is worth between$500 and $1500.

Before the wolf populationgets out of hand, it should bemanaged to a limited number

by hunting or trapping. Ido not believe in killing thewhole wolf population, but

deer management seems to belacking. Along with the locals,many non-resident hunterscome to Wisconsin for a greatnine day deer hunting season,which also brings money intosmall northern towns. Wolvesare a major nuisance to thesehunters, and hunters of allkinds, and should be managedfor the betterment of Wiscon-sin.

P-News Point of View Wolf populations need management

Boy scouts enjoy fall events

Submitted by Will Brunnerand Nathan DrummondBoy Scout Troop 1477 out

of Pulaski/Howard has spenttime over the past two monthsworking with Cub Scout Pack 4477 from Lannoye and Hill-crest Schools. Boys fromTroop 1477 visited Lannoyeto put on a skill enhancementsession to provide the youngCub Scouts with valuablecamping and survival informa-tion. This event also helped theBoy Scouts complete the teach-ing requirement for their Com-munications Merit Badge.

The Boy Scouts split intogroups of two and got to pick which subject they wanted toteach the Cub Scouts about.Will Brunner and Bradey So-renson taught re building,while Jacob Brant and DevonWouters informed Cub Scoutsabout local tree identi cation.

First aid techniques weretaught by David Brant andChristopher Ascher, who wereassisted by Isaac and JoelVandehei. Jacob LaMere andAlex Moen instructed scoutson animal tracking, and Taylor Brunner and Seth Boyden led ateam building activity.

Meanwhile, knot tying wastaught by Conor Jones andJeffrey Koehler; Nathan Drum-mond and Logan Knoll showedCub Scouts how to pack a

backpack for hiking. There wasalso a cooking station manned

by the adult Cub Scout leaders,coordinated by Steve Soren-son. The cooks used coal and3 tinfoil ovens to bake cookiesfor all the scouts that attended.Eating the warm cookies wasthe nal highlight of the night.

Several weeks later, the troophelped the second year WebeloCub Scouts of Pack 4477 nishtheir camping requirement for their Arrow of Light award,

which is the highest achieve-ment in Cub Scouts. WebeloScouts attending the camp-out were Matthew Ascher,Ben Brunner, Adam DeNeys,Trevor Tengowski, and JacobVanden Heuvel. They all gota taste of boy scouting whenthey joined Boy Scout Troop1477 for a two-night camp outthe weekend of Nov. 12, 2011.The scouts attended Bear PawScout Camp in Mountain, Wis.

The main goal of theweekend was for Cub Scouts tocomplete their last Cub Scoutrequirements and even begin

to get a few Boy Scout require-ments nished.Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts

arrived Friday evening to facetheir rst challenge. Theyneeded to set up tents in thedark around the numeroussnow piles. After dinner, scoutssat around a blazing camp-

re before hunkering down intheir tents to sleep in the belowfreezing temperatures.

Saturday activities includedCub Scouts being taught key

re-building skills as well assafe knife-handling skills. CubScouts also had the opportu-nity to cook lunch for the BoyScouts. In addition, Cub Scoutswere given a complete tour of Bear Paw Scout Camp, where

they will hopefully return for summer camping another year.Both Cub Scouts and BoyScouts were led by AssistantSenior Patrol Leader NathanDrummond, who took over for Logan Knoll, the Senior Patrol Leader for Troop 1477.Despite the cold weather, bothgroups headed home satis edwith having completed their requirements and happy thatthey were able to escape theweekend with no further rainor snow.

Winter careimportant for horses

by Zach SuessThere comes a time in the

winter when horses need a

little more attention than inthe summer months when theycan feed themselves on all of the long grass in area elds. InWisconsin’s winters, it’s veryuncommon to not have anysnow, which would cover allthe grass.

“Its not all that much differ-ent caring for them in the winter as it is in the summer, only afew extra little tasks are neededto take care of the horses,” saidElizabeth Wittman, a Krakowresident who has six of her ownhorses.

When it comes to caringfor a horse in the winter, theyneed to eat, so they are fed hayor some sort of heavier grain.Depending how cold it will get,

they will need to be fed heavier grains to help with giving thema little more energy to keep

themselves warm in the cold.Water is also essential when

it’s cold to regulate horse bloodow and help with the heavier food and washing it down. Non-show horses are

usually not covered with a blanket, therefore their fur getsthicker, which helps keep themwarm.

Shelter is only needed if it’sreally windy and/or the tem-

perature is below zero, and a blankets can also be used tohelp stop the wind.

Show horses should becovered with blankets thatwrap around in front of thechest and under the belly,so only their neck, head andlegs are showing, to keep theanimal warm.

Following these simpletasks will ensure that horseswill be perfectly ne throughthe tough Wisconsin winters.

by Jack FitzGeraldWith winter nally upon

us, although it arrived slightlylater than average, it is crucialto keep in mind the signi canceof eco-friendly habits. Thesewinter months can be fun, butthey are indeed grueling.

While going about usualendeavors this winter, suchas heating the home, travel-ing, camping, skiing and evencleaning, it is important to keepin mind the environment, be re-sourceful and avoid pollution.

When it comes to heating

the home, simply use commonsense. No one needs their houseto be 100 degrees all winter. Itis important to nd the lowestcomfortable temperature. Aneasy way to do this is simply

by dropping the thermostat oneor two degrees each day untilyou nd a temperature you arecomfortable with.

Keeping a lot of blankets onyour bed and dressing warminside the house can also helpto reduce heating costs and theair pollution caused by runningyour furnace non-stop untilMarch. Also, keep the doorsto less frequently used roomsclosed.

Finally, for houses that burnwood, avoid burning moist

wood. Wood that isn’t dryreleases more pollutants andcreates more smoke.

In terms of travel, vehiclesaccount for a large chunk of air

pollution. Keep your car tunedup. Change the oil frequentlyand keep your gas tank morethan half full. Avoid drivingwith snow built up under tires.

All of these tips will keepyour gas bills low, and, moreimportantly, keep the environ-ment cleaner.

Everyone loves the beautyof winter. How individualsgo about enjoying it is donein several ways. Whether it iscamping, ice shing, skiing,snowmobiling or sledding thereis one speci c thing to keep in

mind: clean up after yourself.Garbage left behind fromhumans enjoying winter activi-ties often gets snowed over andis left to sit during these longwinter months. Not only doesthis destroy the visual appealfor everyone, but it can causefatality to animals that mightget caught in it.

Cleaning may seem morelike a spring activity than awinter concern, but it remainsimportant, not only for the en-vironment, but it can also bean important step to keepingyou and your family healthythroughout the winter.

When it’s cold outside,houses are usually closed uptighter than normal. As a result,

toxic chemicals from everydayhousehold cleaners are morelikely to remain in your home’sair for a longer period of time.These toxic chemicals have the

potential to contaminate the air you breathe.

Instead of these harmfulcleaning products, some healthyalternatives include vinegar and baking soda. These alter-natives do not have the harmfulside effects that can be poten-tially found in other householditems.

by Ayriel RihnRain, snow, sleet or sun-

shine: crossing guards for thePulaski Community School

District are always waitingwith a smile on their facesto safely help students get toand from school. During theweek of January 8, students atGlenbrook Elementary recog-nized the community crossingguards for their work duringthe school’s lunch periods.

Besides honoring the cross-ing guards for all of their hardwork, the students also madecards for the guards.

The crossing guards recog-nized during the lunches wereEd and Christine O’Brien, Deb

Hoffman, Richard StyczynskiAnn LaMere, Denise Parker,Rich Becher, Kelly Schouvil-ler, Jim Egnarski, Karla Kill-inger and Sarah Olsen. These11 individuals ensure that thechildren in the neighborhoodget across intersections safely

during the hectic traf c beforeand after school.

Chris O’ Brien has beenworking as a guard for four

years, and her favorite part of her job is seeing the smiles onthe kids’ faces every morning.

“Kids look for speci cguards on the corners; whenone is missing they will ask where the person is,” saidO’Brien.

As head guard of the cross-ing guard committee, DeniseParker has worked as a guardfor 19 years. Though shegraduated from St. Joseph’sAcademy, all of her childrengraduated from Pulaski HighSchool.

According to Parker, the best part of her job is seeing thestudents and starting their dayoff with a familiar face and asmile.

ABVM performs‘A Christmas Carol’

Pott retires after 33 yearsby Erika Lambert

As the rst semester of the2010-2011 school year drawsto a close, there is one par-ticular employee that will bemissed throughout the nextfew months. Pulaski Commu-nity School District bus driver Sylvia Pott, recently retiredafter working for the districtfor 33 years.

During her time as a PCSDemployee, Pott loved her job.

“I liked just getting outand being with the kids and

people,” said Pott.When she rst began

driving buses in the 1970s gascost only 36 cents a gallon, a

big change from today’s pricesof over $3.00 a gallon.

Of course, after driving buses for 33 years, Pott en-countered things on her dailyroute that were often unex-

pected. The most interesting

thing that ever happened to Pottwas an instance where a deer

jumped out in front of her busand she ended up hitting it.

“The deer came out of thefog, it was right near Pulaski,I was coming into town and Iended up hitting the rst oneand more came out after that,”said Pott. “Then another timewhen we had a storm, it wasvery treacherous, but I alwayswanted to make sure the kidsgot home safe.”

Aside from the interestingthings that may happen whendriving buses, there are somethings that Pott is lookingforward to now that she isretired.

“It’s going to be nice to juststay home and get things donehere, and helping my daugh-ter in Appleton; my daugh-ter makes jewelry and I plan

on helping her. Also going toArizona with my daughter, we

go every year for 10 days, butit’s still nice to do,” said Pott.

Not only will Pott miss being with the kids, she will bemissed by Pulaski transporta-tion staff also.

“She was an outstanding busdriver. I will miss her dearly.She is the type of person whotruly cared about the kids, onher last day of driving she toldher kids that they were pre-cious,” said Tracey Szymanski,PCSD transportation director.

Bus driver Sylvia Pott re-cently retired after workingfor the PCSD for more than30 years.

Glenbrook hostsfamily game night

Award- winningMLK essay

by Rachel Stumpf “Darkness cannot drive out

darkness; only light can do that.Hate cannot drive out hate;

only love can do that.”- Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King often used metaphors to help people under-stand what he was saying. Ametaphor is de ned as “a gureof speech in which a word or

phrase is applied to an object or

action to which it is not literallyapplicable.” “Re ecting Back,Looking Forward” Let’s seehow we can use metaphors toexamine this topic.

When you look in a mirror you see yourself and what’s

behind you, right? If you use“mirror” as a metaphor for “re-

ecting back,” you see history.Let’s look at some “mirrors” onhistory.

Books. You can read abouthistory. For example, “Ameri-can Girl” books teach history

by writing stories about girlsfrom different parts of history.

Museums. You can learnand see parts of history by vis-iting museums. You may go toa museum about the Holocaust,

the Oregon Trail, or the Titanic.Museums help you experiencehistory and feel what it was likewhen it was happening.

People. You may hear abouthistory from people. Teach-ers teach us history in school.Relatives can tell us our familyhistory. Leaders, like Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr., teachus history through their writtenand spoken words.

When you look in a tele-scope you look at somethingfar away and it becomes clear.If you use “telescope” as a met-aphor for “looking forward,”you see a vision of the future.To create the future we want,let’s look at what our “tele-scopes” must be.

Actions. If we treat peoplekindly, like invite them ona play date, they may treatsomeone else kindly. If we dogood deeds, we make the worlda better place.

Words. Our words affect people. When we speak in a positive way, like Dr. MartinLuther King, Jr., we can inspire

people. What people sayimpacts the future.

Thoughts. When we learnabout people who are differ-ent than us, we appreciate themfor who they are. Our thoughtsimpact how we treat people.

Books, museums, and people are all mirrors re ect-ing back on history. Actions,words, and thoughts are all

telescopes looking forward tothe future. As we re ect back on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.he encourages us to make our actions, words, and thoughtscount as we look forward inlife.

Re ecting Back,Looking Forward

Editor’s Note: Students from Pulaski Community School District schools sub-

mitted work Northeast Wis-consin Technical College’s Martin Luther King, Jr., Daycontest. The theme of thecontest was “Re ecting Back,

Looking Forward.” Hillcrest fourth grader Rachel Stumpf won an award for this essay.

by Jack FitzGeraldStudent athletes at Pulaski

High School are using their talents outside of their games,matches and practices. Accord-ing to statistics gathered byPHS Athletic Director JaredMarsh during the past twoyears, 70 percent of PHS ath-letes rank in the top 10 percentof their class or higher.

According to Marsh, he isthe rst PHS Athletic Direc-tor to seek data representingathlete performance outside of sports. Therefore, the statisticscannot be compared to years

prior.However, when compar-

ing PHS to other high schoolsin the area, Marsh said thathe strongly believes Pulaski’snumbers exceed most, if notall, schools in the area.

Jacob Syndergaard, PHSsenior and a multi-sport athlete,said, “The perseverance youneed in sports can easily betransferred into the classroom.”

Like many of his fellow ath-letes, Syndergaard ranks near the top of his class.

Besides bene tting thegrades of student-athletes,sports participation enhancesclassroom work as well sincestudents that are failing two or more courses cannot competein athletic competitions.

Luckily, this does nothappen often at PHS.

“All of our athletes do agreat job with their studies, butespecially the female athletes,.These are the girls with the 3.9,3.95, and 4.0 grade point av-erages, they are very diligentworkers and very accountablestudents,” Marsh said.

Marsh also added that muchof the student-athletes’ successcomes from the devoted PHSteachers, who are often willingto take extra time accommodat-ing exible schedules for ath-letes who have to miss schoolfor a tournament or game.

Besides the 52 units, the $6million facility will also featurea large community dining area,a beauty shop and transporta-tion options for its residents.

There will be a registerednurse at the facility 24 hoursa day, as well. Since the com-munity is aimed for able-

Pulaski launches Alumni Association

50 members to receive free Pulaski Alumni Association t-shirtsThis is a snapshot of the Alumni Association website homepage. The association, which is free for former students to join, will be housed online.

Pulaski High School gradu-ates will now have a new wayto connect with their former classmates: The PulaskiAlumni Association.

The association, which will be housed online at www.pu-laskialumni.org and run by thePulaski Community SchoolDistrict, offers former RedRaiders the opportunity torevisit their high school days

through direct messages toother members and classmates,online discussion boards, per-sonal story updates, network-ing opportunities, reunion an-nouncements and more.

The association will alsoallow PHS graduates the op-

portunity to share their exper-tise and talents with today’sstudents through volunteer andmentoring opportunities.

Unlike most third-partyalumni websites, such as class-mates.com and alumniclass.com, the Pulaski Alumni As-sociation will be free of chargefor members. Information pro-vided to the association, likehome addresses, email address-es or phone numbers, will not

be sold to any third-party partycompanies or organizations.“This is a great chance for

Pulaski graduates to get recon-nected with their hometowncommunity,” Superintendentof Schools Dr. Mel Lighter said. “Regardless of where lifetakes you, it’s important to re-member your roots.”

The idea for an alumni as-sociation originated a fewyears ago when former PCSDschool board president CindyHendricks proposed it to Light-ner, although of cial planningdid not get underway until thissummer. In just a few months,the district’s alumni committee,

made up of Lightner, “Pulaski News” Editor in Chief RachelVesco, PACE employees Mark Heck, Sue Wheeler and MattMroczynski as well as dis-trict technician Ken Westphal,turned the idea into a reality.

“I’m excited to give Pulaskialumni a place where they canreconnect with former class-mates and a place on the webthat they can now call home,”

Wesphal said.Besides its website, the as-sociation will also have a pres-ence on social media sites, in-cluding Facebook, Twitter andGoogle+. The school districtwill maintain all of these pagesas well.

In addition to all of thefeatures on the association’shomepage, a quarterly e-newsletter will be emailed tomembers highlighting alumniupdates, achievements andstories. The rst letter is ex-

pected to be delivered tomembers sometime during latespring.

Of cial Pulaski Alumni As-sociation merchandise, such ast-shirts, sweatshirts and coffeemugs, will be available for

purchase on the website, with products delivered directly toindividuals’ homes, whether they live in Sobieski or Alaska.

“The of cial alumni mer-chandise is a great way to bringa little bit of Pulaski to you,wherever you are in the world,”Lightner said.

As an added bonus, in May,the names of fty alumni will

be entered into a drawing, withthe winners receiving a com-

plementary alumni associationt-shirt.

Ultimately, the associationhopes to have 2,000 members

by the end of the 2011-2012school year.

The Alumni Association website gives members access to an Alumni Directory, where graduatescan search for classmates using criteria like name, graduation year or current location. The in-formation in the directory will only be accessible to members and will be hidden from the public.

The website will also feature graduating class discussion boards, allowing former students thechance to reconnect with members of the class to talk about things like reunions. Classes datingback to the 1930s will be on the website.

Items like Alumni Association mugs and t-shirts will be available for purchase on the website
