Banaszynski remembered with Old Timers game

By Laura Dahms and Taylor Maccoux In honor of Janet Banaszynski, the Centennial Old Timers softball game was dedicated to commemorate her contributions to Pulaski. At Memorial Park on June 27, almost 40 ballplayers, age 55 and older, joined in an afternoon of fun. Originally, Banaszynski started the girls softball games in Pulaski, beginning with just four teams. Because of her, the girls softball leagues in Pulaski flourished and have given many young women the opportunity to compete and enjoy the sport. Banaszynskis dedication to the community didnt go unnoticed, as evidenced by the honor given to her for her commitment and passion for the game. Throughout the game, Dave Kubiak and Ron Kryger entertained as emcees, and Richard Styczynski served as umpire. Under the direction of Tim Kozlovsky, the Pulaski Community Band added to the spirit of fun with music. The Pulaski Chase Cooperative donated ice cream for sundaes, which sold for a dollar each and gave spectators a real treat. Over 150 bowls were served to the hungry spectators enjoying the ball game. Gloria Morgan and Elaine Grygiel especially give thanks to Julie and Katie at the Co-op for their help with the event. The Pulaski High School girls softball team sold concessions. Dynamic Designs designed t-shirts for the event. Julie Jarock of the Co-op said, It was a great way for members of the community to reunite and have fun. Sue Banaszynski, daughter of Janet Banaszynski, said, It was such a nice tribute to my mom. Some players were hesitant to play at first, but when the event was in honor of my mom, they couldnt refuse. There were two Old Timer teams, the red team and the gray team. For those players who wanted to hit but found running difficult, more agile runners were available to go around the bases for them. But, in the spirit of the game, everyone chose to do their own running. The gray team won the game with a score of 7-2. Kimberly Uelmen, a spectator, said, It was great because I
watched my grandpa and all his friends get together and play a game that they all used to play together. Gloria Morgan said, It didnt matter who won because it was a lot of fun. A lot of people asked

Dahlke appointed Pulaski Director of Technology

if there could be one every year, which would be great. It was a fun thing for great-grandkids and grandkids to watch their grandparents or great-grandparents play. Whats better than that?

Chris Dahlke is the new Director of Technology for the Pulaski Community School District.

The gray team had a great time playing softball in memory of Janet Banaszynski.

By Taylor Maccoux and Laura Dahms For many, tinkering with technology can be a royal pain, but to Chris Dahlke, the new Director of Technology for the Pulaski Community School District, technology is both a hobby and a career. Dahlke has been working in the technology field for 17 years. For the past eight and a half years, he has been working for Heartland Business Systems and in Little Chute in technology of schools. He went to UW-Whitewater and obtained a degree in Physics. However, because of his interest in video games and his experimentation with PCs, Dahlke found a summer job in technolo-

gy. Eventually, his skills allowed him to begin a full-time career in the field. Of his accomplishments, Dahlke is most proud of the work he did on a community network in Eau Claire and in other school districts. Dahlke has worked with the Pulaski Community School District for six to seven years. In his new position, he hopes to break the gap between middle school and high school technology, because oftentimes he found one more advanced than the other. I saw awesome stuff with technology happening in Pulaski classrooms, said Dahlke. Its great to see technology put in the hands of students. He has a lot of experience with high-end technology and can work well with a community. Dahlke desires to see an expansion of innovation in the classroom, not just in the background; he hopes that a new infrastructure could allow students to work with technology at home and school without boundaries. I get really excited by new technology and new gadgets; seeing it used in a school is really interesting to me, said Dahlke. Dahlke looks forward to getting to know everyone. Working in the district over the years, he has only met the technology staff and really looks forward to meeting students and other teachers in Pulaski.

The red team enjoyed competing in the softball game that honored Janet Banaszynskis contribution to Pulaski Girls Softball.

Pulaski area businesses invited to student registration days

All businesses in the Pulaski Community School District are invited to the school districts student registration days on August 11 and 12 from 1 to 7 p.m. School district parents will be registering their children for the upcoming school year. This year, all elementary, middle, and high school students will be registering at the Pulaski High School. Because thousands of students and parents will be at Pulaski High School on those days, we thought it would be a great opportunity to have the businesses in our community showcase their products and services, said Dr. Mel Lightner, Superintendent of Schools. The high school commons will be made available for area businesses. Tables will be provided. Businesses can display products and hand out flyers, business cards, coupons, etc. We know that it is crucial in this economy that we encourage our citizens to do business locally. Our intention is to make our families aware of the many fine businesses in our school district, said Dr. Mel Lightner. Any business that would like a spot at student registration on August 11 and/or August 12 should call or e-mail Registration Coordinator Kris Reed at (920) 822-6009 or kkreed@pulaski. k12.wi.us. Businesses can either have someone present during the registration or display flyers, business cards, etc., for families to take.

All of our volunteers need to be thanked and can be proud of the work they did on LZ Lambeau weekend. Im sure everyone will have a memory engraved in their mind of events that took place at LZ Lambeau. Agreed, all did not go as planned, but all went well with Gods helping hand in the end, and the mission was accomplished. Even if it did not go as planned, our volunteers can be proud of the fact that it has opened up awareness in this nation. I hope everyone had the opportunity to watch the WI Public Television broadcast of Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories that followed the days after LZ Lambeau. Most of all, our thanks go to those that the 1,244 empty seats belong to, those who never made it home, their families, those who made it home and have suffered, and those who honorably served their nation and came home to an ungrateful population. A nation that should have been proud of these VeteransVERY PROUD! May God Bless the Vietnam VetWELCOME HOME!

Round gobies invade Wisconsin waters

A round goby invades some water.

By Graham Severson Wisconsin waters are filled with an abundance of species, but not all of them originally swam in these waters. The round goby, indigenous to the Black Sea of

Lasecki selected by WFSCA

The Division I softball white team poses for a picture with coaches Billi Jo Vertz and Jennifer Heck.

By Laura Szela The Senior All Star Series was held by the Wisconsin Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association (WFSCA) June 21 and 22 at Zenoff Park in Stevens Point. Nicole Lasecki, a 2010 graduate of Pulaski High School, was selected as the catcher for the Division I white team. Players are nominated by their head coaches and then selected

by the Wisconsin Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association. Twelve different teams were formed from a total of 140 selected seniors. Each team consisted of 11 to 12 players, each playing 2 games. The coaches association also called Billi Jo Vertz and asked her to coach. She accepted and invited Jennifer Heck to coach with her. Vertz and Heck are both teachers and softball coaches at

Pulaski High School. The team which Lasecki played on and Vertz coached tied their first game in eight innings and won their second game. Lasecki was also honored as first team all state. She was then one of two catchers asked to play July 6 on the All-Wisconsin team in Minnesota against the All-Minnesota team.

Eurasia, invaded the Great Lakes with immense numbers since 1990. Assumed to originally have been brought to the Great Lakes by being stowaways on commercial oceanic ships, the round gobies have spread dramatically since. Studies have shown that round gobies were present in up to 33 percent of the Lake Michigan tributaries, totaling 175 miles of stream. An estimated 800 miles of stream will eventually be inhibited by the round gobies. An experiment in a Little Suamico lake was designed to determine the effects of round gobies on the ecosystems of Wisconsin streams. Three types of PVC enclosures were placed in the stream. All the enclosures had fish and invertebrates native to those waters. A third of the enclosures contained no round gobies while another third contained six gobies, or two per meter squared, representing a typical stream. The last third contained 24 round gobies, or about 10 per meter squared, representing a common density of gobies found. The hope was that this experiment would show how the round gobies affected the native species also in the enclosure.

Results were evident after time was given for the different species to affect each other. The findings were that the native species had higher growth rates without round gobies present. Also, they unexpectedly found that the native species had a higher growth in the enclosure with the 24 round gobies than the one with six. They concluded that the cause for this was that the gobies competed with each other for the enclosure habitat rather then spending their time foraging for food. This means more food is available for the native species. The research from this experiment helped determine the outcome of the presence of the round gobies in the Great Lakes. The experiment showed that there is not a high rate of native fish mortality with round gobies present. This implies that species in streams are not as threatened by the round gobies. Data also showed that its unlikely that the round gobies will not reach high densities in streams, based on the fact that they compete for territory. This competition would likely force round gobies to swim to more open waters if their current location is already filled with gobies. Unfortunately, data also gave evidence that native species grow less during the summer because of the gobies, which means they will be less prepared for the winter. All of this research concluded that the round gobies will have a moderate effect on the ecosystem of the streams. This data will help people make more informed decisions in the future about the streams and will help predict the future of Wisconsins streams.

Class of 1939 unites and shares memories

Blanche (Chilla) Dudek, Martha (Ullmer) Sheedy, Bernice (Dolata) Smith (class secretary-treasurer), Orville Kubiak (class vicepresident), Ted Sentowski, Ron White, and Margaret Gajewski enjoy the day of reminiscing at their 71st class reunion.

The PHS Class of 1939 celebrated their 71st reunion on July 14 at the Four Way Bar and Restaurant in Suamico. They met at 11 a.m. for social time, and they had a delicious chicken meal with all the trimmings at noon. Blanche (Chilla) Dudek said the prayer, and after the meal, she asked for a few moments of silence to honor their classmates that have gone on before them. She led the discussions, and they had a very good time reminiscing. They also discussed the world issues today. Blanche will be planning the next class reunion for July 13, 2011.

Learn to preserve food

Froggy dances and sings with children at the Pulaski Library. During story time, Librarian Anne Mead read Froggy Plays T-ball by Jonathan London. The children enjoyed the story because many are actively involved in t-ball and other sports.

Preserving food at home can be a gratifying activity for individuals young and old. Learn the latest safe canning techniques by attending the four part Food Preservation Series sponsored by Shawano County UW-Extension and Shawano Community Education. Four classes will be held in July and August. All classes will be held at the Shawano Community High School, room 1001, 6:30 to 8 p.m. Individuals can sign up for any or all of the classes. Cost for each class is $5. To register, call the Community Education Office at 526-3194 x8002. The classes still remaining are: August 17 - Pickling Fruits and Vegetables, Home canners have long enjoyed the art of pickle-making. It is one of the oldest methods of preserving foods. In modern times, pickled cucumbers are commonly referred to as pickles. A pickle; however, is any fruit, vegetable or meat preserved in vinegar or brine. This workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to learn how to can cucumbers and other vegetables. August 24 Canning Tomato Products Tomatoes are probably the most popular home-canned food. Their summer freshness can easily be preserved for seasons when it is not possible to run into the backyard for that right-offthe-vine taste. Canned tomatoes are excellent for preparing chili, spaghetti sauces, casseroles and an endless variety of meal accompaniments. Information will be shared on canning tomatoes and salsa. For more information contact Linda Olson at the Shawano County UW-Extension Office at (715) 526-6136. To register, contact Sandi Kane at the Community Education Office at (715) 526-3194.

Share the Bounty

Thursday, July 29, 2010 -

Pulaski News Page 9

Mike and Bea Moede of rural Shawano both got their start in gardening by picking cucumbers as kids. They have been gardening all their married lives and still maintain extensive vegetable and flower gardens on their property. They say it keeps them young! They are frequent contributors to the Share the Bounty program.

Submitted by Amy Kroenke Summer is the best time to enjoy lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Mouthwatering and tasty, they provide a multitude of vitamins, minerals and fiber that help all of us toward better health. In addition, they are loaded with anti-oxidants which fight disease and help slow the aging process. So now is the time to increase your intake of fruits and veggies and enjoy all the benefits. Not everyone has access to fresh produce, and thats where Share the Bounty comes in. Share the Bounty is a hunger prevention program that allows area gardeners to share their extra produce with those whose incomes are limited and need help to feed their families. Coordinated through the UWExtension Office, this is the eighth year for Share the Bounty in

Shawano. Through the years, thousands of pounds of produce have been distributed. Last year alone, over 7,000 pounds were given out through the program. The concept is simple. Gardeners bring their produce to drop off sites in the community, and those who need it may pick it up. Donations in quantities both large and small are accepted, and containers are provided on site. Produce should be reasonably clean. The program runs from July through October, and throughout the months, UW-Extension provides recipes and information on nutrition and storage of the vegetables and fruits. People of all ages appreciate the fresh produceespecially senior citizens, many of whom are no longer able to garden.

They are able to take just a small amount of produce at a time for their own immediate needs. Some senior citizens, however, are still gardening in a big way. Among them are Mike and Bea Moede of rural Shawano who have contributed many pounds of fresh produce to Share the Bounty through the years. Mike raises tomatoes, potatoes, squash, melons, and pumpkins on a threeacre plot. Bea maintains numerous flower beds that provide color and beauty to their spacious yard. The following are the sites for drop-off and pick-up in Shawano: SAFPARC, 218 E. Richmond St., 9 to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday (after hours leave produce in blue lift in rear of building). Goodwill Industries, 300 Lakeland Rd., 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Lutheran Counseling & Family Services (LCFS) Thrift Store, 203 S. Main St., 9:30 am to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday; and 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Share the Bounty has expanded to two new sites outside Shawano this year: Wittenberg Community Center, 208 W. Vinal St. in Wittenberg. Pick-up will be the fourth Wednesday of the month from 1 to 6 p.m. Drop-off will be Monday and Tuesday just prior to pick-up day from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. At St. Martins Catholic Church Rectory, 418 S. Warrington Ave. in Cecil, pick-up will be the third Wednesday of the month from 4 to 6 p.m. Drop off will be the third Tuesday (second Tuesday in September) from 6 to7 p.m. or the third Wednesday of the month from 1 to 4 p.m. For additional information, please contact the Shawano Co. UW-Extension Office at 5266136.

Control the spread of the invasive species Phragmites

year, state law allows landowners to operate motor vehicles on and/or apply herbicides to exposed shore beds in order to destroy or prevent the spread of the invasive species Phragmites. The areas that this is allowed on are the shores of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan or their connecting waters. The dates property owners are allowed to cut and/or apply herbicides are from July 1 to March 15 of the following year. This law change gives property owners common sense tools to protect property values, recreational activities, and public health, said Nygren. Representative John Nygren worked this session to pass into law Senate Bill 614, which gave property owners these new tools. If you have concerns or questions regarding properly following the law, please contact the Northeast Regional DNR Headquarters at (920) 662-5100.

Representative John Nygren

Representative John Nygren (R-Marinette) reminds Northeast Wisconsin residents that new tools to combat the invasive species Phragmites are now available. During certain times of the

The Pulaski Farmers Market has been a huge success so far this season. To join in the fun, you can find the market behind Pulaski Auto Parts on Tuesdays from 3 to 7 p.m.

Maple Grove Countryside 4-H meets

Submitted By Club Reporter, Reilly Peterman On July 8, the Maple Grove Countryside 4-H Club met for its monthly meeting. Club President Andy Peterson called the meeting to order, followed by the American pledge led by Andy Peterson, and the 4-H pledge was led by Clara Peterson. Roll call was answered by What is your favorite summer activity? Thank you to Carson and Dustin Graf for changing the chamber sign for the month of June. In June, Erin Stiede and Laura Aprill went on the American Spirit Trip through Shawano County. Erin and Laura applied for and were awarded this trip by filling out their resumes and portfolios and then going through an interview process. Congratulations, Erin and Laura! 4-H Softball continues; we had two more games to play July 11 and 12. The outcome of these games determined if the club played in the tournament on July 17. 4-H Camp is July 26 to 30 at
Camp Susan, north of Antigo. On June 27, the following members helped with Brunch on the Farm at Green Valley Dairy. They are Laura and Steven Aprill, Paula Peterman, Shi Gracyalny, Derek Leidel, Carter and Mason Jauquet, Tieha Kuczer, Nathan Ferfecki, Jake Gille, and Dustin and Carson Graf. Those who went on our club trip to Mt. Olympus on June 29 were able to tell us about their day and all of the fun they had at the meeting. On June 13 there was a Fun Cat Show at the Shawano County Fairgrounds. Erin Stiede, Ashley Valeria, and Rachael Valeria then spoke about the fun and adventures they had that day. It was decided that the club will be creating a float for the Pulaski Polka Days Parade. Jenny Gracyalny will lead this activity. On June 30, Mason Jauquet, Carson and Dustin Graf, and Rory Sarenich took second place for Dairy Judging at the Area Animal Science Day, which then qualified the team to go to state. At state the Junior Dairy Judging team also placed second. Great job, team!

Fair Set-Up will be August 14 from 9 a.m. to noon. The club will again be working in the 4-H food stand. Please check for sign up times. New fair books were handed out, please note all changes! The fair is fast approaching for all members, and shortly after that Record Books are due to the clubs general leaders. The July Birthday calendar was made by Melissa, Erin, and Steven Stiede. The July Birthday cupcakes were made by Carson and Dustin Graf. Thanks go to the Stiede and Graf families for serving lunch at the July meeting.

School Updates
Program teaches the value of a dollar
Barney Slowey, leader of the simulation, said, You are not homeless yet; you must find a way to survive on what little you have and complete your given goals. The families quickly learned the dangers of theft, drugs, weapons, and they also learned to relate to the levels of despair the families of the real world were experiencing on a daily basis. Nearly every house was robbed at the start of the simulation, and the families quickly learned a lesson they soon wouldnt forget. The object of this experience is to sensitize the participant to the daily lives of the poor, said Barney Slowey, because the poor are the most discriminated group of people there are. During the simulation the families had to complete the following goals: keep the home secure, feed the family, pay the utility bills, pay loans off, pay for miscellaneous expenses, pay for school and put children in school, report to an employer for a pay check, and put children in day care when you are not home and there is no school. This gave the participants a stressful reality check and a miniscule preview of the life of a person in poverty. Several stations were set up and maintained by teachers; these stations varied from economic stations such as the bank, employer, and pawn shop, to sta-

tions that provided the basic needs of life such as groceries, school, and clothing. Amy Deprey, the station manager for Utilities, said, I learned that when people are striving to get the basic needs of life, they tend to push back other needs like utilities. Also, I saw that people tended to pay the bill for just one utility at the end of the month to avoid getting them shut off. This microcosm of a community provided a crucial and urgent learning lesson for all who at-

Page 10

tended. It gave a personal and relational sympathy for those who really do live with this. It also gave those who attended a true feel for the value of a dollar bill. This project has been going on for the past few months, and it will continue for the next months to come. Although this class is not intended to be for the public, it is an interesting concept and will do much to forward our schools understanding of less-fortunate children and sensitize teachers to their problems.

Barney Slowey explains the rules and guidelines of the poverty simulation to the participants.

By Tim Frisch Pulaski High School has been offering a poverty simulation program to teachers for the past few months. The goal and purpose of this simulation is to educate the participants on the true value of a dollar and what people under the poverty level go through on a day-to-day basis. The simulation lasted for an hour, and every 10 to 12 minutes represented a week in the families lives. At the end of each week, the family had to regroup and assess what was and wasnt working. Then they would proceed to make

necessary changes from there to fix those problems. The participants were separated into several families and given a fake last name. They were to be in character at all times during the simulation, and each family member had a specific role to play. Some people played the role of a child, some a teenager, and some a parent. There were also a handful of people playing the role of the town businesses and government offices. Each family were given goals to accomplish at the beginning of the simulation. At the start of the simulation,

By Graham Severson The Pulaski High School is getting a new, 10-foot deep retention pond with the intention to increase storm water discharge for the drainage basin. In the past, storm water and sediments from the roof and parking lot would run onto the grass. With the new pond, the water and unneeded sediments will be channeled into it and then eventually into the schools creek. The pond will also decrease school spending on storing water fees. Also, the cost of creating the pond will be overlapped by the money saved by it. Storm water will be funneled to the pond because of the low elevation and then be led through two sections of the pond to the schools current creek. A device is also used to slow down the water as it moves along so segments like fertilizer, road salt,

and dirt that were brought with the water will settle at the bottom. Science classes are also expected to get good use of the pond with the organisms it would bring with it. Along with the water, sediments like road salt and dirt would also be brought to the pond and stored at the bottom of the 10 foot pond. Hopefully more then 80 percent of this suspended solid runoff will be removed by the pond. Pulaski Schools will receive an estimated 60 percent credit back per year because of the retention pond. Therefore, the pond should pay off the cost to dig the pond within three years of it being used. The entire project will be a long-term fix to the storm water run-off and will help the school financially for years to come.

Kids from the Lights, Camera, Action summer school class smile proudly after their production of Once Upon a One Hundred Years Nap.

By Laura Dahms In the Lights, Camera, Action summer school class, students have been working hard to produce two plays, Once Upon a One Hundred Years Nap and Live: Its Fairy Tale News. The plays and production were directed by Staci Karcz and Michelle Prestine. Every student helped to create sets, play the character roles, and work backstage in stage crew. Everyone was helping with stage crew. We all had to pay attention because, if someone had to be gone, you had to fill in, said student and actor Dominick Hendricks. On July 15, the class performed the two shows for an audience of fellow summer school

students, family, and friends. After the show, the entire audience was was very pleased with the show. Student Elizabeth Ghormley said, I loved every part of the class. My favorite thing that I got

to do was yell at the character Stuart during the play. It was a lot of hard work, though. All of the kids loved the experience of putting on a play, but all can account for the hard work that must be put into a production.

formation. Finally, we had our financial consultation. We were given very detailed information about what everything would cost. We were given payment options, and the most important thing is that we knew ahead of time so we could prepare. When we got into the car, Brandon said, Wow, Im going to tell everyone about this place! Thats exactly what you want your customers to say too. Studies have shown that 80 percent of people will buy from businesses that are referred to them by their friends and families. If you have a business, think about the experiences you leave your customers. Are they walking out of your business with the excitement that Brandon had? Did you treat them as though they were kings or queens? Did you leave them with information that they didnt know beforedid you educate them? Did you prepare them financially? Were you upfront with your customers? Was your business setting clean, neat, and age-appropriate for your customers? Were you professional? Brandon will always remember how he felt when he left this business. In fact, hes still talking about it today. In business, make sure you leave your customers with a lasting memorya good, hopefully great, experience: one that will bring your customers back time and time again.

By Tammy Brzeczkowski, co-owner of Dynamic Designs Just as the title says, when you are in business, you need to create an experience for your customers. Whatever it may be, youll want your customers to remember how they felt when they left your business. Most importantly, you want it to be a great feeling. Just recently, my five-year-old son, Brandon, had a wonderful experience that I would like to share with all of you. We were referred to (by our local dentist) a pediatric dentist. Our first step in the process was a consultation. When we arrived at the dentist, Brandons name was on a board that read Welcome Brandon. Immediately, we were greeted by the receptionist and given the necessary paperwork to fill out. The receptionist went through each form very thoroughly and professionally. Just as we finished our paperwork, Somone, an employee, walked in and greeted my husband and me. She explained a few things and we were off for a tour of the facility. She made Brandon feel as though he was King of the Castle. The tour was really geared for Brandon. She started the tour in the waiting room, showing Brandon the games he could play while he waited for the dentist. Brandon listened intently, even though he had already familiarized himself with the games. One thing I also noticed was how clean, neat, and age-appropriate this building was for the patients they had. Near the end of the tour, Somone walked us to the consultation room and gave us a little more information about what would happen next. After a short review, she summoned Dr. Meredith, our new dentist. Dr. Meredith greeted us with handshakes and a smile. She was bubbly and very upbeat, someone you certainly would like to be around. Dr. Meredith brought us to her work area to count Brandons teeth and examine what needed to be done. It wasnt difficult to get him in the dentist chair because of the movie playing above him on the television. After the exam, Somone took Brandon to get a toy from the box. Dr. Meredith took this time to tell us her plan of action and what needed to be done to Brandons teeth. When he returned he had a balloon, a wristband, and a big smile. Dr. Meredith then explained to Brandon what would be done the next time he came. She explained it so that a five-year-old would understand. We watched some educational 30-second videos about the procedure that Brandon was going to have done. Somone went through our packet of information, as well as Brandons packet. We learned so much in this little amount of time and were grateful for the in-

Area businesses experience sales spike

Bruce Brzeczkowski of Dynamic Designs said that business typically gets busier. We do projects for other businesses during Polka Days. We have Polka t-shirts and we hold an event outside our business on that Thursday. Subway, according to employee Lindsey Przybylski, tends to be a lot busier. She also said, Thursday night last year was huge because of Buck Night. Friday and Saturday are also very busy with the girls softball tournament in town. Karen Birr of Dairy Queen Grill and Chill said the parade especially brings people to her business: lots of new people to town and many first-timer Polkacomers. Also, since DQ sells cold treats, the warm weather helps. During the three days of the Polka Grounds setup, DQ offers specials for the workers. We look forward to it every year. All the following businesses in the southern region of Pulaski said that the Tri-county Optimist Club Car Show drives plenty of traffic to their area. Trailside Convenience has sales that are as good as the holidays, said Barb Hoch. McDonalds, in the same building as Trailside, also does very well during Polka Days, their busiest days of the year. For an added effect, workers sport polka shirts and jeans. They aim to do even better than last year. Super Rons has business trends similar to Trailside. Brian Ullmer and Mike Kabara both agree that customer traffic and sales increase similar to how they would during a big holiday weekend. Scott Uttech of Figaros Pizza said, A lot of out-of-towners come. Sunday is good after the parade, and its just a good, fun, family atmosphere. Meridian does not get an increase of customers, but, according to employee Maggie Kornaus, The buzz in the air makes us feel great. The other half of Polka Days, the car show here at the mall, gives us a big bump in sales, said Christine Richter, owner of Carrot Tree. Its also nice to see people come in here from out of town. Sound Check (Radio Shack and Cellcom) draws a lot more customers not only from Polka Days. Employee Briana LaPlante said, It is a lot busier with the Cellcom celebration going on at the same time. Vern Novinska of Verns Hardware & Rental said that Polka Days doesnt bring a spike in sales, but people still purchase seasonal items and items at his sidewalk sale. Polka Days moreover gives people an awareness that we are here.

Edward Jones ranks highest in investor satisfaction

As stated on their website, Edward Jones advisors strive for personal attention and believe in providing one-on-one service, according to the J.D. Power study. This is evident in their efforts to engage in proactive conversations regarding a multitude of their investors concerns, including reviewing an existing strategic plan or developing one for a new investor, and initiating discussions regarding portfolio/asset allocation or investment needs. For the fifth year out of the past six, financial-services firm Edward Jones ranks highest in investor satisfaction with full-service brokerage firms, according to the J.D.

The study measures overall investor satisfaction with full service investment firms based on seven factors: investment advisor, portfolio performance, account information, account offerings, commissions and fees, website and problem resolution. The J.D. Power and Associates study found that Edward Jones performed particularly well across the two highest-weighted factors: Investment Advisor and Investment Performance. Edward Jones overall score climbed 10 points over last year, when it also was ranked highest among the 12 largest firms rated. The 2010 Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 4,460 investors who primarily invest with one of the 12 firms included in the study. The study was fielded in May 2010. Edward Jones ranked highest in investor satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates in 2009, from 2005 through 2007, and in a tie in 2002, when the study began.

Cellcom celebrates customers Produce stand opens for business

winning 240 cell phone minutes by doing their dice-rolling game. Cellcom graciously provided their attendees with numerous prizes and services. Some of these prizes included winning minutes by rolling a pair of dice. Furthermore, there was a prize-drawing for a stay at Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan. Cellcom also set up numerous laptop-embellished stations that provided services such as upgrade checking, contact transferring, and troubleshooting. Also, Cellcom offered some deals for their attendees. For instance, an attendee could receive half-off any accessory in exchange for three canned food goods. I think it is a great thing, and it probably brings more business to the community, said Len Jarock. My wife is very satisfied with her Cellcom experience. This event was catered by Konop Catering, which is headquartered in Green Bay. Cellcom has held this event annually for the past few years, and plans to do so for many years to come. There were several more Cellcom customer appreciation celebrations this year in Brown County. They took place in cities and towns such as Green Bay on July 20, 21, and 22; De Pere on July 27 and 28; and Howard/Suamico on July 29.
