Participants enjoy the first annual Pulaski Community Park Trail 5K run/walk on Saturday, October 1.
Over 150 runners and walkers from throughout the area attended the first annual Pulaski Community Park Trail 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, October 1. The event took participants throughout the recreation trails located at the park which is next to the Polka Grounds. The entry fee was $5, and participants received a t-shirt as well as refreshments after the race. They were also entered to win a variety of raffle prizes. We had a wonderful showing, and I was pleased to see such enthusiasm from our participants, Matt Mroczynski, run organizer, said. This was a great opportunity for runners and walkers in the area to see all of the trails at Pulaski Community Park.
Registration for the event began at 7:15 a.m. while the race got underway just after 8:00 a.m. Pulaski Village President Ron Kryger shot off the starting gun. Besides runners and walkers, dogs were also welcome at the event. After the race was completed, at 9:00 a.m., winners of the raffle prizes were announced. It was a great course, beautiful and well marked weith helpful course at every turn. The excellent post race refreshment and prizes were an unexpected bonus, said participant Jim Vanden Branden of Neenah. The event would not have been possible without the donations from area businesses including:

Pulaski News
by Sam Schwartz Upon reentering another school year, Pulaski High School students were dismayed to learn that PHS lunch periods now lack the choice of a french fry or potato as a side to each main course on a daily basis. Although this issue may seem minor and insignificant, it has caused an uproar from the PHS student body and the students have surely acted upon their feelings in many different ways. As nearly full-grown adults (and with many students who are already 18 years old) high school students should have the right to choose if they want fries at lunch or not. While it is evident that America has a rising obesity rate, what a high school student eats is up to him or her and no one person, or group, should be allowed influence in making such decisions. Not only do the students feel unfairly restricted, but many even feel the loss of the everyday bag of fries has resulted in less lunch food for more money. I am not so much concerned with the fact that lunch only serves fries once a week as I am concerned with the idea that I pay more money for less food at lunch.

What activities did you participate in during high school? I was in band, I was a pom pom girl, swimming instructor and lifeguard, accompanied the chamber choir and played the piano for the musicals. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Death by Chocolate How did you use what you learned in Pulaski outside of school? I feel my small-town, Midwest values have given me the gift of hospitality and an approachable, warm personality. It has created my appreciation for family, knowing people in your community and making that community a better place to live. I am the Design Center Manager at Ethan Allen and thoroughly enjoy the clients we have the privilege to work with every day. I enjoy creating a great team atmosphere with my staff, which transfers to an inviting, warm feeling for clients in the design center. I learn many new things through our clients each day and enjoy collaborating with my design team and the client to create rooms that feel beautiful and comfortable for daily living. Growing up in Pulaski, that is rich in its Polish heritage, has fostered a long lasting connection to my roots. As I used to say in college, it doesnt get more Polish than being Kathy Wesolowski from Pulaski! What, if anything, do you miss about the Pulaski area? The small, safe community where everyone knows each other and is connected. I appreciate the education I received in the Pulaski School District. As I have read the Pulaski News over the years and my teachers started to retire, their tenure in Pulaski is a testimate to their passion to teach and inspire students to reach their potential. I am the product of a great school and community. Note: Alumni Profiles are a regular feature in Pulaski News.

The new, larger fuel tank is installed at the PCSD bus garage on Friday, September 23.
The Pulaski Community School District Department of Transportation will become greener and more efficient after the installation of a new gas tank. The tank will hold 12,000 gallons, an increase of 11,000 gallons over the previous storage unit. While the unit cost $65,000 to install, the department expects to save between $10,000 and $15,000 each year.
This is just another way were using tax payer money efficiently, Mel Lightner, superintendent of schools, said. According to fleet coordinator Alan Wood, the department is anticipating at six-year buy back for the tank, but believes it will be a positive asset to the districts transportation facilities and busing operations. No matter what the price of fuel is, this is a way to save money, Wood said.

place while Pulaski Grey, coached by David Bentz, fell to the Oostburg Eagles. Teams such as the Eagles traveled from Sheboygan and one team from Central Wisconsin even journeyed two hours to play. All teams were rewarded with perfect weather but the champions of the tournament received team trophies and player medals. The runner up team, however, gets hot dogs which in previous years provoked a team to throw their game. Volunteers from N.E.W. Rescue, the Pulaski High School Leo Club and varsity soccer team worked the event. N.E.W. Rescue provided expert icing and fixed up any players who needed it. The Leo Club played an essential role in running concessions and cleaning up the area, and the PHS soccer team were referees.

Senior wide receiver Dylan Bersch scored three touch downs for the Raiders, while running back Zach Wech had an equally impressive game. The Raiders, who are currently 4-1, travel to Manito-
woc, the only undefeated team in the conference, on Saturday, October 8 at 1p.m. If the Raiders win, they have the chance to share the conference title with Manitowoc. During halftime, The Red Raider Marching Band performed. The show was the same that they will be performing when traveling to Pasadena during January for the Rose Bowl parade.

ferent games throughout each block. In my 14 years witnessing Spirit Day, this year was by far the best Ive seen, PHS English teacher Terry manning said. The games, which ranged from the Mystery Food Eating Contest to the Cherry Pit Spit, competitors from each class competed. Individuals participating in each competition were awarded between 1 and 4 points, depending on their place. Staff members also competed in the tug-of-war contest, Powder Puff football and volleyball, and beat the student teams in both powder puff and tug-of-war. The day ended with the annual Senior Skit, which brought light to day-to-day life at Pulaski High School. Ultimately, at the end of the day, seniors won the Spirit Day competition, while juniors came in second, followed by sophomores in third and freshmen in fourth.

PHS English teacher Lesa Wojahn and her daughter Payton enjoy volunteering at the Bay Area Humane Society.
by Jessica Skinkis Pulaski Community School district teachers often give back to their communities in more ways than simply giving educating future generations. For Pulaski High School teacher Lesa Wojahn, and her daughter Payton, volunteering at the Bay Area Humane Society is just one way she gives back to her community. Wojahns love of animals began as a young childen, when she often got more upset about animals killed during movies than their human counterparts. My compassion for andimals and my devotion to advocating for animal rights has also shown up as one of my daughter Paytons best traits, Wojahn said. We began volunteering at the Bay Area Humane Society where we help socialize the dogs, cats and small animals by spending one-on-one time with them. In addition to socializing the dogs, individuals who volunteer at the humane society also perform other duties such as as brushing the animals, walking the dogs, showing animals to prospective adopters and cleaning cages, Wojahn added. These tasks are designed to reduce stress levels in the lives of shelter animals, which is the main cause of illness for animals at the humane society. I love volunteering because I get to pet the animals and make them feel happier, Wojanhs daughter, Payton Kendrick, said. If you are interested in volunteering at the Bay Area Humane Society, please contact Project Manager and Volunteer Coordinator Kellen Holden, at (920)-469-3110 ext. 114 or by email at programs@ bayareahumanesociety.com.
