Third Annual Fall Follies will be held October 2

Contributed By ina Kohler, President of the Kohler School Foundation. On October 2, 2009 the Kohler School Foundation will hold its annual fundraiser, Fall Follies, at the Kohler Stables. This is the second year the event will be held at the Kohler Stables a venue not normally open to the public. An interior horse arena is converted to a western roadhouse, complete with entertainment, food, drink and dancing. Silent and live auctions will also be conducted with a wide variety of products, services and value levels. The Kohler Stables facility is large, but with last years attendance exceeding 300, it is expected that capacity will be reached this year, so the Foundation is asking that everyone please reserve their seats early. Reservations will be $37.50 per person and will be available early in September. As with last year, groups can reserve tables for eight, and corporate sponsorship opportunities are also available. Questions may be directed to the Kohler School Foundation at kohlerschoolfoundation@kohler.k12.wi.us. The Fall Follies is intended to be a fun way to bring the community together while raising money for the benefit of Kohler Schools. The more than $70,000 raised by the event over the last two years has allowed the Foundation to fund important technology improvements at the schools, which have improved and enhanced teaching and learning opportunities. The Foundation invites all to join friends and neighbors in celebrating Kohlers continuing commitment toward high quality education. Teachers and their spouses will continue their dedication to Kohler students by attending and assisting with the staging and operation of the Follies. Students will contribute to the Follies in many ways, and food will be prepared and

and neighbors and purchase reservations early to insure access to a fun-filled night.

The story of the other Kohler, 20 miles to the southwest

By Kevin Struck Take out a detailed map of Wisconsin, let your eyes drift about 20 miles to the southwest of the Village of Kohler, and you might be surprised to spot a crossroads hamlet by the name of Little Kohler. This Ozaukee County village of approximately 90 homes and 225 residents (about one-tenth the size of Big Kohler), located on CTH H just west of Fredonia, has a colorful history but what is its connection to the Village of Kohler in Sheboygan County? First, lets take a look at the more recent past of Little Kohler. According to the book Stalag Wisconsin: Inside WWII prisoner-ofwar camps by Betty Cowley, Little Kohler was the site of Camp Fredonia in 1945. A total of 330 German soldiers were housed there, including, rumor has it, Ernie von Schledorn, of auto dealership fame. The prisoners were put to work in the surrounding fields harvesting peas and spinach for local canning factories. At the time, Little Kohlers main thoroughfare included the local Glunz hall, Danceland and general store, Century Tavern, and St. Marys Mother of Sorrows Catholic Church and Cemetery. Area residents Chee Chee Schneider, Jim Dieringer, Phyllis Stemper, and Bernice Wiskerchen had plenty of stories to tell about Little Kohler when interviewed this

From the Village Board President . . .

Greetings, Its hard to believe were already halfway through the summer. Its great to see the level of participation in our summer recreation programs and steady use of the pool facilities. I hope everyone is having a great summer and that you are enjoying favorite activities with family and friends. With our favorable summer weather, the reconstruction of School Street is moving along well. As with all construction projects, especially one that is dealing with an aged infrastructure, a few things have come up that needed further consideration. However, Omnni Associates and Dorner Construction, Inc. have worked well with the Village Board in keeping the project moving forward. It is anticipated that the project will be far enough along for the reopening of School Street with the beginning of the new school year on September 1st. Unfortunately, the dust and inconvenience cant be avoided with a project such as this. Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated as this aged infrastructure is replaced. I am certain that many Village residents are waiting for an update on the new Lost Woods Park Shelter plans. It is exciting to announce that the plans have been finalized and submitted for bids. The Village Board will have a contractor selected by the time this issue of The Kohler Villager reaches you. In my September article more detailed information will be disseminated, along with a timeline for breaking ground and completion of the new structure. The Village Board is most appreciative of the continued community support for the upgrading of the Lost Woods Park facility. Also exciting is the cooperation among the three major Village entities in having the project become a reality: the Kohler Co., the Kohler School District, and the Kohler Village Board. Enjoy the rest of your summer!! Until next time Steve Reinbacher Village President

Little Kohler, continued

past June. Over the years there have been a few mix-ups due to the proximity of one Kohler to the other. An out-of-town priest apparently journeyed to the wrong Kohler in search of the wedding he was supposed to perform. Then theres the story of the semi-truck driver who, after searching Little Kohler in vain, stopped a passer-by to ask where the Kohler Co. was. When asked whether they had ever visited the Village of Kohler, one of the residents told of how several years ago she had received her first traffic ticket while visiting Kohler. She recollected that the officer had joked to her, Todays my birthday and Im giving out tickets. Today, Little Kohler contains St. Marys Church, an auto body shop, a tavern (closed at the moment), a 4-H club, and the Pine View Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, which was featured on Milwaukee Public Televisions Outdoor Wisconsin series in 2006 for its efforts to stabilize and strengthen small animals for eventual release back into the wild. The Eastern Shores Library System bookmobile also makes a regular stop in Little Kohler. In the past 15-20 years, a few small subdivisions have been built, and its convenient but peaceful location, only a few miles from STH 57 and I-43, make it likely that Little Kohler will continue to survive. Of perhaps greatest interest, however, is whether there was any connection between the founders of Little Kohler and the Village of Kohler. The founders of Little Kohler emigrated from Bavaria, Germany in the late 1840s. The original settlers were Martin Sr. and Theresa Koller and their children. Thats right, Ko-l-l-e-r. Due to a spelling error, most likely brought on by the proximity of the Sheboygan County Kohler, what should have been named Koller was instead identified on maps and road signs as Kohler, with the Little being added to set it apart from the Village of Kohler further north. Since no one has been able to make a successful effort to get the spelling on maps or road signs changed, the error persists to this day.

Waste medication County to stop collecting hazardous drop-off site available for county residents wastes for 2009
The Sheboygan County Planning and Resources Department must stop collecting hazardous wastes from County residents for the rest of 2009. The halt in the collection of hazardous waste results from the loss of State funding and because of the extraordinary amount of hazardous wastes collected during May. There is a possibility that some State funding will be restored to Sheboygan County later this year. If that proves to be the case and there is sufficient funding for another collection event, there will be announcements to that effect. During the May Clean Sweep, homes, small businesses, and farms delivered 35,447 pounds of hazardous wastes including 1,789 pounds of aerosol cans, 5,553 pounds of pesticides, 18,789 pounds of oil and lead based paint, 1,800 pounds of fluorescent lights, and 3,753 pounds of electronic wastes. The annual Countywide collection of waste medications is slated for October 3 and this event will go on as scheduled. A permanent waste medication drop off box will also be located soon in the Sheboygan Police Department. A new permanent drop off box for the proper and safe disposal of waste medications has been located in the foyer of the City of Sheboygan Police Department at 1315 North 23rd Street. Citizens of Sheboygan and Sheboygan County will now have a convenient and readily accessible location to get rid of waste medications on an ongoing basis. Waste medications if improperly disposed of can cause environmental harm, cause accidental childhood poisoning, and be illegally taken by people with substance abuse problems. The illicit trade in stolen or misappropriated prescription medications is linked to crimes, injuries, and deaths in our communities. A partnership between the Sheboygan County Planning and Resources Department, the City of Sheboygan Police Department, and the Healthy Sheboygan County 2020 Committee has developed the drop-off program, one of the first in Wisconsin. A metal box similar to a mailbox has been mounted to the floor in the foyer of the police station. People with waste medications can simply drop them in the box, no questions asked. A video surveillance system monitors the location.

People are asked to keep medications in their original labeled containers to aid in identification of the collected medications. Names can be crossed off the label to maintain confidentiality. The new waste medication drop off box will supplement the annual Countywide collection of waste medications that will be held this year on October 3rd. Last year, more than 800 pounds of waste medications were collected during the annual collection. We do not know how many pounds of waste medications we will be collecting at the new permanent drop off location. Funding for the waste medication collection and disposal program has been provided by the Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors. If the new waste medications drop off location project in Sheboygan is successful, we may be placing drop off boxes for waste medications in other communities such as Plymouth and Random Lake. For more information, contact Jim Hulbert, Director, Sheboygan County Planning and Resources Department, at 920-459-3765.

Take a tour of Piccadilly Street for English Tea during August tea class
Sheboygan Falls, WI -- On Saturday, August 8 the Atrium Tea Room in Sheboygan Falls will host their monthly tea class titled Piccadilly Tea. This class will combine education about English teas with a tourist perspective of famous stops on Piccadilly Street. The class will begin at 11:30 a.m. and run through 1:00 p.m. The English enjoy both High Tea and Afternoon Tea. High Tea is almost a fourth meal, occuring after the work day, and includes tea and sandwiches. Afternoon Tea, a light snack accompanied by fresh brewed tea, takes place earlier in the afternoon and is more about elegance. In keeping with the tradition of an English tea, there will be a presentation of food that pairs with each of the teas to be sampled. Traditionally, this comes in courses and consists of: first course, savories of finger sandwiches or appetizers; second course, breads including scones; and third course, dessert of delicate pastries like eclairs, small thumbprint cookies, and shortbreads. Piccadilly is one of the most fashionable areas of London and home to a number of well known tea rooms and historic hotels that have tea service. Tradition, elegance, style, luxury, and relaxation are all synonymous with the English tradition of tea. Class attendees are encouraged to continue that stylish tradition and get dressed up for the class. Attendees of prior classes have enjoyed this option to enhance the experience. The Piccadilly Tea class will be conducted by tea artisans Martha Vande Leest and Kathryn Schwark and will include samplings of teas and three cuisine courses. Recipes and handouts are included. Cost is $25 and prepayment is preferred; however, a spot can be reserved by providing a credit card number. The class is limited to twelve participants. Class attendees receive a discount on merchandise throughout the store on August 8. Anyone who attends five tea classes will receive a free teapot. The Piccadilly Tea class will be held on August 8 at the Atrium Tea Room, located in Richardsons Furniture Emporium at 202 Pine Street in Sheboygan Falls.

Senior citizen volunteers sought for Seniors and Law Enforcement Together program
Submitted by Joan Scheppmann This letter is to familiarize you with Sheboygan County TRIAD. It is not a request for money. TRIADis a service organization comprised of senior citizens, Sheriffs Department deputies and the sheriff, and police officers. Some of the more popular service programs sponsored by TRIAD are the Courthouse Greeters program, the Senior Winterization program, and the File of Life program. TRIAD is also active at the Sheboygan County Fair, and has give out hundreds of refrigerator magnets. The problem is not things to do, but rather people to do them. We are looking for seniors interested in being a volunteer for this worthwhile organization. While the Sheboygan County TRIAD has been operating since 1996, many seniors have never heard of TRIAD. The Sheboygan County TRIAD meets once a month in different communities to discuss ongoing programs, and to plan new ones. There are no dues or membership fees, and all you need to join is a willingness to be a volunteer for community service. If you would like to know more about this worthwhile organization, call any police agency in the county or the Sheboygan County Sheriffs Department, and you will be directed to the agency TRIADofficer.

By Happy Camper: Roughing it Kohler style Kohler guys plan camping trip across the street. By Martha: OK guys, when we get to the stop sign, everybody run around the outside of the tent and stop at another pole.

The 2009 tourdeRoadAmerica will be Friday evening, August 14 during the Road Race Showcase weekend featuring the American Le Mans Series. The tourdeRoadAmerica is a familyfriendy bicycle ride.

FROM CLERK/TREASURER LAURIE LI DOW Board of Review The Village of Kohler Board of Review will be meeting on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, starting at 5:00 pm. Property owners that want to appear before the Board of Review to appeal their assessment can contact the Clerk-Treasurers office at 920-4593873 for forms and to schedule an appointment. To appear before the Board you must provide the Clerk-Treasurer with written or oral notice of your intent to file an objection by 4:00 pm, Friday, July 31. Also, a written and signed Form of Objection to Property Assessment must be filled out and filed with the clerk within the first 2 hours of the Boards first scheduled meeting. FROM POLICE CHIEF BILL RUTTE Sexual Offender Ordinances: The Village recently enacted new ordinances that restrict certain convicted sex offenders within the Village of Kohler. The Village has set a limit on residing in the Village within 1500 feet of a park, school, or church. In addition, sexual offenders cannot loiter within 500 feet of those same locations. The Kohler Police Department has a link on our website to a pdf file that shows those designated areas. In addition, the Kohler Police Department has registered on the website (http://www.familywatchdog.us/) connected to the State of Wisconsins site that will notify us in the event a sexual offender moves into the area. If you have questions or concerns, please call. Stop Sign Violations: The definition of a stop by state statutes is a complete cessation from movement. This allows for the driver to properly check for other traffic and pedestrians. The Kohler Police Dept. has been stepping up enforcement of stop signs as a way to educate the public that slowing down at stops signs is not stopping. The vast majority of the stops have been for warnings, but some citations have been issued, depending on the circumstances. Also, most of the stops are by people that live nearby. If you have not been stopped by an officer, you are probably stopping properly. The stop signs can be a pain, but they are there for our safety. Parking Complaints: Occasionally the Kohler Police Department will receive complaints about parking problems throughout the Village. Typically neighbors dont want to complain directly to their fellow neighbor, but call our department with questions or to start a complaint. Parking is restricted near the Kohler Co. to one-hour and two-hour parking. The only exception is for residents of the Village of Kohler. All others must abide by the restriction. The rest of the Village has a restriction of 72 hour parking. No vehicle may be parked in one location for longer than 72 hours without being moved. Also, RVs, campers, boats, and trailers can only be parked on the street for up to 24 hours. In addition, vehicles need to be 4 feet from a driveway, 10 feet from a fire hydrant, and 15 feet from a marked crosswalk. Please be aware of the parking restrictions. FROM PUBLIC WORKS SUPERI TE DE T BRUCE EERHOF OXIOUS WEEDS/GRASS LE GTH: According to Village Ordinance 8.24, it is the duty of every homeowner to destroy all noxious weeds on their property before they go to seed. Examples of noxious weeds are Canadian thistle, English charlock, wild mustard, creeping jenny, goatsbeard and cotton-bearing trees. Also, grass that exceeds nine inches in height is in violation of this ordinance. The Village gives five days notice to the homeowner to mow their grass. Otherwise, the Village will do it at the expense of the homeowner. HOLIDAY GARBAGE PICK-UP When a holiday falls on a Monday all garbage pick-ups will be one day later than scheduled. For example, Labor Day falls on Monday, Sept. 7; therefore garbage pick-up for that week will be on Wednesday, Sept. 9th.
