Last week, Mr. Merkes' Outdoor Survival class was visited by Deputy Behm and Nurse Calyn to receive some hands-on training, learning about First Aid, Torniquetes and how those skills can translate to the outdoors. The class did a great job and even completed a competition on learning how to apply a Torniquete safely and effectively.

"The Great Hunger" in Ireland, also known as the Irish Potato Famine, was a period of severe starvation that occurred in Ireland between 1845 and 1852, primarily caused by a potato blight that devastated the potato crop, which was the primary food source for most of the Irish population at the time; this led to widespread death and emigration, with estimates of around one million people dying from starvation and related diseases during this period.

The Great Hunger is considered one of the most devastating famines in European history and continues to be a significant part of Irish identity and cultural memory.

Today we celebrate Casimir Pulaski Day. This day commemorates the life of the Poland native who was born in 1747. He came to America in 1777, after fighting for Poland's independence, and joined forces with General George Washington. After saving Washington's life, Pulaski was made brigadier general of the American Cavalry. Wounded in battle, Pulaski died on October 11, 1779.

Quick fact - The village of Pulaski, Wisconsin was named after Casimir Pulaski. Wisconsin schools celebrate Pulaski Day on March 4th to teach students about U.S. society and cultural heritage.

Presidents' Day is celebrated in the United States to honor the country's presidents, including George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. It's also a day to recognize the contributions of all U.S. presidents. Washington was the first president of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. He led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolutionary War. He presided over the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The holiday was originally called Washington's Birthday and was celebrated on February 22, Washington's birthday. In 1968, the holiday was moved to the third Monday in February and expanded to include Lincoln's birthday.

Susan B. Anthony was born February 15, 1820 in Massachusetts. She was raised a Quaker and her belief in equality inspired and guided her throughout her life's work. Anthony fought for the abolition of slavery. In 1856, she served as an American Anti-Slavery Society agent, making speeches, organizing meetings, and distributing pamphlets. In 1851, Anthony met Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the two suffragists worked to gain independence and equality for women for the rest of their lives. She traveled around the country advocating for women's rights and lobbied Congress every year until her death. Anthony died in 1906, fourteen years before many women were given the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment.
