Volume 5, Number 5
DECEMBER, 2009
It was like Christmas every
day for Kohler Co. associates
serving overseas
The holidays will be a little closer to
home for more than twenty Kohler Co. as-
sociates and immediate family members
serving in hostile fire zones such as Iraq and
Afghanistan.
When Marita Samuels began working at
Kohler Co. two years ago, some of her fel-
low associates learned her husband,John,
had been deployed to Iraq, and wanted to
help. (The Samuels have two children who
attend Kohler schools). Mrs. Samuels organ-
ized a collection drive in Kohlers marketing
department, delivering approximately 25
boxes to her husband, who dispersed the
contents to his unit. When John
Samuels was deployed a second
time (only nine months after re-
turning home from his first deploy-
ment), more departments at Kohler
joined the collection efforts. A Veter-
ans Day collection this past Novem-
ber yielded 205 boxes filled with badly
needed personal care items and snacks,
along with Christmas lights which were
reportedly a huge hit with the servicemen.
CPL Jeremy Graff wrote:I think I got all
of the packages now. I got the quilt yester-
day. They came a couple at a time, so it was
like Christmas everyday! Everyone was very
happy when I was handing out the supplies.
The PX here is starting to run out of some
hygiene items, so the packages came in very
handy. The Christmas lights, especially
boosted morale . . .
According to Mrs. Samuels, thirty Kohler
Co. associates were instrumental in sorting,
organizing, completing customs forms, fill-
ing the boxes, affixing labels, and transport-
ing the boxes to the Kohler post office.
Kohler postmaster Larry Wills said it was
the largest volume order for one-time parcels
to come through the Kohler Post Office as
long as hes been postmaster. An overflow
of boxes had to be stored in the neighboring
Kirkpatrick Room. Wills started early and
worked late for two days, but said he was
happy to do anything for the troops.
The collection effort was led by the
Kohler Co. stewardship department, which
also donated shipping costs, as well as vinyl
donation posters and banners that were
placed throughout the Kohler Co. campus.
Vaunie Weaver from Kohlers compensa-
tion department led the charge to obtain
Camo Quilts produced by the Camo Quilt
Project in Plymouth; Jennifer White, Senior
Internal Auditor baked brownies for each
service member; Richard Kind, Kohler En-
gines, donated $200 from charitable dona-
tions collected from their annual golf tour-
nament, which was used to buy hand and
foot warmers. Other items included summer
sausage and crackers, beef jerky, candy, new
magazines, absorbent socks donated by
Wigwam, baby wipes donated by Rockline
Industries, unscented lotions, crmes, and lip
balms donated by Oliv 426 (for two female
service members serving in Afghanistan
and Iraq), and much needed
everyday personal
items like
Its that time again already! Another

cotton swabs, tissue, and deodorant, which,
according to John Samuels, some troops
joked was REALLY badly needed.
Marita said she was especially humbled by
the response of her fellow associates who
served in Vietnam, one of whom stated,
Many of us didnt receive this type of ac-
knowledgement when we served, so it is im-
portant to thank our fellow service members
and let them know that they are remembered.

Im pleased to share that the Village
Board has adopted a 2010 budget that re-
flects a zero percent increase in the mil rate.
It will remain at $4.08 per thousand of as-
sessed value as in 2009. The total budget for
2010 is $3,869,031 compared to $3,919,798
in 2009. A flat mil rate was my objective as
we began the 2010 budgeting process and
with the support of the Village Board that
goal was obtained along with a reduction in
the total budget. I believe that we have
adopted a budget that is fiscally prudent, yet,
allows us to continue to enhance the ameni-
ties we have come to expect as residents in
our unique village. My sincere thanks to all
involved in the process!
Included in the budget is a capital ex-
pense of $350K for a new roof on the Me-
morial Hall complex which includes the
Youth Center, Pool, Memorial Theatre and
Village Gym. The current roof is at the end
of its life expectancy and needs to be re-
placed. This project will be coordinated with
the roof replacement of the school so both
entities can realize the cost benefit of having
the projects completed simultaneously.
After much discussion at the monthly
meeting on November 16th, the Village
Board voted unanimously to include the re-
placement of the childrens pools in the
2010 budget. The amount allocated for the
childrens pools is $310K. The initial plan
was to budget this for 2011. Your Village
Board will work diligently to insure that this
project is completed at or below the bud-
geted amount. With the present status of the
economy, the Village should benefit from
the competitive bidding, which was realized
with the Lost Woods Park Shelter.
Hopefully, you had the opportunity to
ring in the holiday season on November
27th at the Shops at Woodlake. The tradi-
tional lighting of the tree took place, Santa
arrived, carols were sung, reindeer were on
display, and carriage rides available for all.
Wishing you and your family a safe,
happy, and joyous holiday season!
Until next year

Meet the members of the
Kohler Fire Department
Message from the president . . .
Dear Village of Kohler residents,
I would like to say hello to all of you.
My name is Dietmar Wohlgemuth and I
am the new President of the Kohler Fire
Department Business Organization. The
Business Organization is comprised of 33
active reghters, and 19 social and hon
orary elected members. The reghters
drill twice a month, and the business or
ganization meets once a month.
With the support of all of the chiefs, we
decided to start a monthly article intro
ducing reghters, social and honorary
members, and a quarterly article address
ing safety and re prevention. So being the
rst monthly article I thought it would be
appropriate to have all the chiefs intro
duced.
This quarter, with the heating season
upon us, I would like to ask everyone to
make sure your furnace is in good working
order. If you have a replace, you should
have it cleaned and checked for proper
ventilation. Since this is the season that
furnaces are on and replaces are in more
frequent use, it is also a good practice to
have a carbon monoxide detector and re
extinguisher in your home. As always,
check to make sure your smoke detectors
are in working condition. These simple
preventative measures will help to keep
you and your family safe.
Have a safe and happy holiday season.
The next quarterly letter will be after the
rst of the year. I hope that you enjoy the
monthly proles.
Sincerely,,
Dietmar Wohlgemuth

crafted plush toys by Hansa.

ferings make it a destination you could

Bennett.

OURISH Farm-to-family philanthropy
conducts Mission: Apple Rescue!
Farm-to-Family Philanthropy, students in
local culinary arts programs, and guests in
local shelter programs have teamed up for
Mission: Apple Rescue to supplement the
food supplies at The Salvation Army and the
Boys & Girls Club.
Carol Christensen, founder of NOUR-
ISH, saw hundreds of pounds of apples
going to waste due to a windstorm and pre-
mature cold temperatures and contacted
Karen Sullivan and Kathy Wiesman, instruc-
tors of Culinary Arts at Sheboygan North
High School, and Jill Lewinski, instructor of
Consumer Education at Kohler High
School, to offer a last-minute community
service opportunity to their students.
These apples needed to be picked within
one to two days, which could be accom-
plished, but then what? Christensen said.
NOURISH team members alone couldnt
possibly store or process the hundreds of
pounds of apples. Karen, Kathy and Jill
were both gracious and creative enough to
come up with some wonderful and delicious
solutions.
Those solutions come in the form of
apple pies, applesauce and apple crisp to
help feed struggling families and children in
local shelter and after-school programs.
Sullivan and Wiesman estimate the aspir-
ing young chefs will prepare over 30 Dutch
apple pies and 30 batches of chunky apple-
sauce. Even though our schedule was com-
pletely packed through the end of the
semester, Kathy and I feel that service work
is always a valuable learning experience,
Sullivan said. The students said the project
was fun, they were glad to help out the com-
munity, and hoped everyone would enjoy
the pies and applesauce and can hardly wait
to make their own pies.
Lewinskis students will prepare apple
crisp for 60 children involved in an after-
school program run by the Boys & Girls
Club. Christensen noted that Lewinski has
always been more than willing to provide
any assistance to NOURISH at the drop of
a hat. Jill told me, I am always ready to
help, just tell me what you need, where you
need it and well be there.
Homeless shelter guests are helping, too.
Alongside NOURISH, The Salvation Army
and Bridgeway-SCIO shelter guests have
washed and prepared apples and fresh veg-
etable snacks for hungry children at the
Boys & Girls Club. Local apples have even
found their way to Safe Harbor Domestic
Abuse Shelter, where with a little instruction
from NOURISH culinary professionals, the
shelter guests make applesauce for The Sal-
vation Army.
In our first year, NOURISH has man-
aged to foster a chain reaction of paying it
forward, said Executive Chef Mike Zeller,
director of culinary for the philanthropy.
We have had the chance to tour several
local organic farms and learn about sustain-
able agriculture. We have been able to pre-
pare meals at many Sheboygan shelters and
the Boys & Girls Club with the freshly-
picked produce, educating underprivileged
people about the value of local and healthy
foods. This has encouraged and enabled the
homeless and hungry to help each other. In
turn, the farmers are now offering some
extra produce at no charge to the shelters
and after-school programs. Were starting to
see success in our most important missions
of gracious teaching and paying it forward.
Although the main component of
Students from Jill Lewinskis Consumer Education class help prepare apples.
NOURISH consists of purchasing shares
and leading small group tours at sponsoring
organic farms during the growing season,
Christensen said she is always looking for
more ways to maximize and stretch the over-
abundance of fresh food in Sheboygan
County. One of the first orders of business
was to establish a harvest hotline for farm-
ers to call for a last-minute plea to save food
that would otherwise go to waste unless har-
vested.
She continues to be amazed by Sheboy-
gan Countys overwhelmingly positive re-
sponse to NOURISH. People like Karen,
Kathy, Jill, their students, and struggling
families are all enthusiastically embracing
our program and are coming up with delight-
ful and effective new ideas everyday on how
to increase our reach, Christensen said. Its
like the Energizer Bunny: we keep going and
going.

John McGivern Show Brings
Holiday Humor to Winter
Theatre in Sheboygan
Audiences can give themselves an
evening of laughter and joy when Wiscon-
sins favorite storyteller and humorist, John
McGivern, brings Its Holiday Time in the
McGivern World to the John Michael
Kohler Arts Center Friday, Dec. 4, through
Sunday, Dec. 6.
McGiverns new show combines previ-
ously unheard recollections with classic sto-
ries of Christmases past and growing up as
one of six children in an Irish Catholic
working-class family in Milwaukee. New
tales include Childhood Snow Storms,
Christmas Mass/Altar Boy Chronicles,
Corned Beef/Wooden Pews...Deadly Com-
bination, St. Rose Orphanage-Orphans
and Are those Ball Bearings on the Christ-
mas Cookies?
In addition to making us laugh, Johns
stories spark a personal connection because
his humor reflects real families and their
strengths and foibles, said Ann Brusky,
John Michael Kohler Arts Center perform-
ing arts coordinator. We are very pleased to
bring him back as a holiday treat for all.
An actor and playwright, McGiverns
fans refer to him as the Garrison Keillor of
Wisconsin. McGivern paints richly col-
ored word memories that affectionately il-
lustrate the quirks and benefits of Wisconsin
culture, wrote Damien Jacques, theater
critic for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Its Holiday Time in the McGivern World
will have just three performances in Sheboy-
gan: Friday and Saturday, Dec. 4 and 5, at
7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Dec. 6, at 1 p.m.
Tickets are $24 ($19 for Arts Center
members and full-time students through age
21). Tickets are available for purchase on-
line or by calling the Arts Center at (920)
458-6144. For more information, visit
www.jmkac.org/Footlights2009.
Those attending the Friday or Saturday
show can make a full evening of it with a
dinner based on in the ARTcafe. Chef Eliz-
abeth Giovannetti has put together a menu
of seared salmon with penne pasta, roasted
vegetables, and a light white wine sauce; or
roasted pork loin with cranberry chutney,
roasted baby red potatoes, and a green side
salad.
Dinner guests are asked to arrive be-
tween 5:30 and 6:15 p.m. if attending the
performance. Reservations are recom-
mended. Dinner includes appetizers, choice
of entre, and dessert. The cost is $29.95
($25.95 for members/$10.95 children under
12). Wine, beer, beverages, tax, and gratuity
are not included.

Life was like a dream . . .
For over 40 Kohler High stu-
dents, the past three months have
been spent creating the dream
world of William Shakespeares
classic play, A MIDSUMMER
NIGHTS DREAM. Just a few
weekends ago, the actors of the
production finally had a chance to
perform to enthusiastic audiences
filled with family and friends.
Those people lucky enough to at-
tend saw a show filled with music
and mirth. Songs from the sixties
and seventies were interspersed
with Shakespeares dialogue and
a bit of dancing, giving audiences
of all ages something to enjoy. A
Fairy Tea Party kicked off the
Sunday matinee performance
with over thirty children attend-
ing. Young guests, many dressed
in their best fairy garb, got to meet
the fairies from the play, tour the
backstage and participated in a
fairy dance lesson, face painting
and photographs with their fa-
vorite cast members.
Students are already hard at
work preparing for their spring
production, a musical version of
ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
This production will be produced
and directed entirely by the stu-
dents. ALICE IN WONDER-
LAND will play April 8 11,
2010.
The acting troupe, including Pyramus (Greg Suralik), Thisbe (Austin Van
Treeck) and Wall (Jordan Kusel), performs for Theseus and Hippolyta.

Kohler HS golfer Jenna Peters
selected to ALL-State Team
Kohler High School golfer, Jenna Peters was re-
cently named to the 2008 Girls All-State Golf 3rd
Team by the Wisconsin High School Golf Coaches
Association (WHSGCA) for her performance last
spring. The All-State committee met following last
months WIAA Girls State Tournament to select
the 2009 team. Because Jenna competes on a boys
team during the spring season, her name will be
added to the 2008 team corresponding to the school
year in which her achievements occurred. Jennas
performance last spring garnered her first team All-
CLC honors, top ten finishes in both the conference
tournament and WIAA Regionals, as well as the
4th lowest scoring average (40.59) in the CLC.
Jenna is only the second Kohler golfer to be se-
lected to an All-State team in school history. The
first was her brother, Ryan, who was also awarded
3rd Team honors in 2006.

From Police Chief
Bill Rutten:
Trick or Treat Update: The Kohler Police De-
partment is happy to say that we were able to
provide over 500 glow necklaces to the trick-or-
treaters in the village on Halloween night. The
glow necklaces went fast and many good com-
ments were received from the residents about
this program. The police department wants Hal-
loween to be a fun and safe activity for the fami-
lies of the Village of Kohler and this helped that
cause. We will be handing out the glow neck-
laces again next year.
Driving Conditions: Now that winter is back
upon us, we all have to remember to drive more
carefully. Even though some vehicles seem to han-
dle better in the snowy conditions, remember to
give yourself more distance between vehicles
when stopping. Big SUVs can get going faster
with 4-wheel drive, but have the same problems
stopping on slick roads. Snow banks can reduce
visibility, so be aware of pedestrians. If a vehicle
is parked outside, remember to clear the windows.
Proper visibility is extremely important, especially
with children crossing the streets early in the
morning. Also, remember that getting ready in the
winter takes more time, so to avoid having to rush,
plan ahead.
Snow is on the Way: The Village of Kohler does-
nt have winter parking regulations like many
other communities with parking on the even or
odd side of the street throughout the winter
months. That is typically done so if it snows the
communities can completely clear the streets after
the snowstorms over two days. Instead, we just
rely on residents moving their vehicles promptly
after snowstorms. Also, just a reminder that it is
illegal to blow snow into the Village streets. Help-
ing out in these areas makes our streets cleaner and
safer during the winter season.
From Public Works
Superintendent
Bruce Neerhof:
Snow Emergency
To find out if a snow emergency is in effect for
the Village, call 459-3881 anytime or listen to
WHBL 1330AM. There is NO parking on village
streets during a snow emergency. A snow emer-
gency is called when accumulation is expected to
exceed six inches. Snow emergencies are typi-
cally called from 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM to
give the snowplows an opportunity to clear the
streets with no cars in the way.
Salt
Village residents are welcome to obtain salt from
the containers located at Valley Rd. and Upper
Rd.; Church St. and School St.; and Lower Rd.
and W. Riverside Dr.
Snow Removal
Winter is here. Here are some reminders on Vil-
lage snow removal ordinances and policies.
1. Please remember to shovel your sidewalks
within 24-hours after a snowfall event.
2. Do not blow or shovel snow back into the street.
3. Please remove vehicles from the street when the
plows are in operation.
Snow Removal Around Kiosks
It is the residents responsibility to have the snow
removed around the kiosks/NDCBU (neighbor-
hood delivery and collection box unit)/cluster
boxes. The Postal Service will not deliver mail if
the carrier is not able to reach the unit the front
as well as the backside. Someone in the
unit/neighborhood needs to take the initiative to
remove the snow; or maybe the responsibility

KOHLER VILLAGER 15
Pet Waste and
Water Quality
P
et owners, take heed . . . When you clean up after your pet, do you
dump the waste in the street or storm sewer? Do you leave it to decay
on the sidewalk or the grass near the street? If so, you may be causing
pollution or health problems.
Are you polluting our Lakes
and streams?
Pollutants from improperly disposed pet
waste may be washed into storm sewers
by rain or melting snow. Storm sewers
usually drain directly into our lakes and
streams, carrying many pollutants along
with the water.
Pollutants commonly found in urban lakes,
streams and ponds include:
Pet Waste Oil and antifreeze
Sediment Toxic chemicals
Pesticides and fertilizers
When pet waste is washed into lakes or
streams the waste decays, using up oxygen
and sometimes releasing ammonia. Low
oxygen levels and ammonia combined
with warm temperatures can kill sh.
Pet waste also contains nutrients that
encourage weed and algae growth. Overly
fertile water becomes cloudy and green
unattractive for swimming, boating and
shing.
Perhaps most importantly, pet waste
carries diseases which make water unsafe
for swimming or drinking.
Are you risking your health?
When pet waste is disposed of improperly,
not only water quality suffers your health
may be at risk, too. Pets, children who play
outside, and adults who garden are most at
risk for infection from some of the bacteria
and parasites found in pet waste. Flies may
also spread diseases from animal waste.
Diseases or parasites that can be transmitted
from pet waste to humans include:
Campylobacteriosis A bacterial infection
carried by dogs and cats that frequently
causes diarrhea in humans.
Cryptosporidium A protozoan parasite
carried by dogs, cats, mice, calves and
many other mammals. Common symp-
toms include diarrhea, stomach cramps,
nausea and dehydration. May be fatal to
people with depressed immune systems.
Toxocariasis Roundworms usually trans-
mitted from dogs to humans, often
without noticeable symptoms, but may
cause vision loss, a rash, fever, or cough.
Toxoplasmosis A protozoan parasite
carried by cats that can cause birth
defects such as mental retardation and
blindness if a woman becomes infected
during pregnancy; also a problem for
people with depressed immune systems.
Symptoms include headache, muscle
aches, lymph node enlargement.
Pet waste may not be the largest or most
toxic pollutant in urban waterways, but it
is one of the many little sources of pollution
that add up to a big problem. Fortunately,
there are some simple things we can all do
to help keep our water clean. See the
other side for ways to keep pet waste out
of local waterways.
Storm water samples
collected in Wisconsin
cities almost always
have high levels of
bacteria which violate
water quality standards.
Common sources of
bacteria include sanitary
sewer overows, pets
and urban wildlife.

he job of cleaning up after your pet can be as simple as taking a plastic bag
or pooper scooper along on your next walk. What should you do with
the waste you pick up? No solution is perfect, but here are the choices:
A few words of caution
Around Your Home If you leave pet
waste to decay in your yard, be sure it does
not become a problem. To prevent water
pollution, clean up areas near wells, storm
drains, ditches and waterways. Always
remove waste from areas where children
play. They are the most frequent victims
of diseases from pet waste. Of course, the
best protection for children and adults is
washing hands with soap and water.
1 Flush it down the toilet . . .
In Your Community Many communi-
ties have pooper scooper laws that
govern pet waste cleanup. Some of these
laws specically require anyone who
takes an animal off their property to carry
a bag, shovel, or pooper scooper. Any
waste left by the animal must be cleaned
up immediately. Call your city or village
clerk to nd out more about local pet
waste laws.
The water from your toilet goes
to a septic system or sewage
treatment plant that removes
most pollutants before the water
reaches a lake or stream.
To prevent plumbing problems,
dont try to ush debris such as
rocks, sticks or cat litter. Cat
feces may be scooped out and
ushed down the toilet, but
used litter should be put in a
securely closed bag in the trash.
Check local ordinances rst.
Putting pet waste in the trash is
against the law in some com-
munities. Even if legal and easy,
it is not the best solution. Waste
taken to landll or incinerator can
still cause pollution problems.
Another option is to install an
underground pet waste digester
that works like a small septic
tank. Before buying one, check
local laws that may restrict their
use, design or location.
Dig a hole or trench that is:
About 5 inches deep;
Away from vegetable gardens;
Away from any lake, stream, ditch or well.
Microorganisms in the top layer of soil will
break down the waste and release nutrients to
fertilize nearby plants.
Be cautious. Keep pet waste away from veg-
etable gardens and water supplies to prevent
disease. Dont add pet waste to your compost
pile. The pile wont get hot enough to kill dis-
ease organisms in pet waste.
2 Bury it in the yard . . . 3 Put it in the trash . . . 1 2 3

DECEMBER, 2009

2009-10 Budget
The general instructional budget (Fund 10) for the 2009-
10 school year presents an approximately $40,000 in-
crease from the previous years actual un-audited general
fund expenditures. This represents a modest .65% in-
structional budget expenditure increase. For perspective,
the 2008-2009 proposed Fund 10 expenditure increase,
as compared to the previous years actual expenditures,
was $616,000 or a 10.75% increase. This years nominal
increase is due to extensive efforts directed toward non-
classroom level expenditure reductions.
Expenses The relatively small increase in 09-10 bud-
geted expenditures reflects decisions involv-
ing non-classroom staffing reductions. At the
administrative level, the district accrued con-
siderable savings primarily with the superin-
tendents assumption of the high school
principalship. There were also staffing reduc-
tions at the library media position as well as
exceptional services support staff reductions
due to the realignment of the special services
department. Additional expenditure reduc-
tion items included a voluntary administra-
tive salary freeze, a one-year extension of the
textbook ordering cycle, and a 15% reduction
in the district supply budget. Other smaller
line item reductions associated with optimiz-
ing our budgetary efficiency standards have
allowed the School District to present to its
constituents a 2009-2010 budget that reveals
a $4,207.00 All Funds budget surplus.
Equally important, the current budget also
contains a $100,000 line item expenditure for
the initial costs associated with long overdue
capital improvements; namely, the roof re-
pairs and information/ communication tech-
nology systems upgrades.
While the districts recent expenditure reduc-
tion efforts can be considered a significant
budgetary accomplishment, future cost con-
tainment measures will be required given the
uncertainties associated with the State of
Wisconsins financial commitment to educa-
tional funding. Our learning community
should know that budget cuts, to-date, have
not diminished either the quality or quantity
of our academic programming in the Kohler
School District. Our standards are high, and
they will remain so.
Revenues The significant changes from the previous
year are as follows:
The number of out-of-district students attending Kohler
Schools has increased by 11 students and currently
stands at 120 while the number of Kohler resident stu-
dents attending other school districts remains at 38. The
net positive change to the 09-10 budget from the in-
crease in the open enrollment differential will be ap-
proximately $68,000.
State equalized aid to the district has decreased by
$123,201.
The State mandated increase in allowable per pupil
spending decreased 27% from the previous year, result-
ing in a loss in expected revenue to the district of
$39,580.
Property Tax Levy
For the 2009-10 school year, the approved tax levy is
$5,481,338, an increase of approximately $414,000 or
8.2%. The mill rate for this year will be 9.74 per thou-
sand dollars of equalized value, a decrease of approxi-
mately 4%. The Tax Levy is calculated using the revenue
cap method determined by the State of Wisconsin. The
predominant factors that led to the increase in the levy
include:
Reduction in Sate Equalized Aid ~$123,000
Allowable Per Pupil $ Increase ~$106,000
Increase in Student Membership (3-yr Ave.) ~$93,000
Referendum Debt ~$76,000
Community Service ~$13,000
The State of Wisconsin continues to reduce the previous
State Aid contribution to Kohler each year. Again, that
amount was reduced by $123,201 this year and is expected
to decline 15% per year as the State attempts to address the
overall school funding difficulties. Through the revenue
cap procedures, the loss of $123,201 in State Aid was
added directly to the local property tax levy.
Enrollment Implications
The Open Enrollment Program for public school choice
was approved by the State legislature twelve years ago.
Through this program, 120 out-of-district students have
enrolled in Kohler Schools for this school year and 38
Kohler School District resident students have enrolled in
other districts. The revenue from other districts for the
students who have Open Enrolled in totals just over
$740,000. The public choice students come to us from
Howards Grove, Plymouth, Oostburg, Elkhart Lake, Ke-
waskum, Sheboygan, and Sheboygan Falls School Dis-
tricts while Kohler students have chosen Sheboygan and
Sheboygan Falls school districts. An estimated 14 stu-
dents residing within our district have also decided to at-
tend private schools.
Unfortunately, due to the general downturn in the econ-
omy, and the associated job displacements, the district wit-
nessed an increase in the number of families with children
relocating to other geographic areas. The number of Vil-
lage resident students declined this year by a net 11 stu-
dents. For the three previous school years, the net number
of student families moving in and out of the district was
balanced, resulting in static Village student enrollment.
Student enrollment is the crucial factor in the discussions
over any districts financial forecasting model. Clearly,
local economic conditions, and student enrollment, will
continue to be monitored closely.
Academic Achievement
Kohler students continue to test well in the 4
th
, 8
th
, and
10
th
grade State Testing Program (WKCE). When com-
pared to the 36 Wastern Wisconsin school districts that
make up CESA 7, our students scored well above the
state average in all categories and ranked number 1 in
many categories. In addition, the graduating class of
2009 scored an average composite score of 27.0 on the
ACT
, placing them, once again, #1 in the State of Wis-

consin. Each of the last five graduating classes has been
in the ACT
top ten of all high schools in the State of

Wisconsin.
The school district is committed to the principle of con-
tinuous improvement. For example, we are entering the
final phase of our comprehensive 4K-12 curriculum
audit. To-date, our curriculum evaluation processes have
revealed avenues for systemic improvement. Teachers
are meeting in vertical teams with the aim of identifying
both curricular and instructional areas of opportunity. At
the high school, in particular, efforts are focusing on in-
creasing the number of thematic and interdisciplinary
pathways. Kohler Schools is proud of its reputation for
academic excellence, knowing that our programs and
practices address the multivariate needs of students
across the ability spectrum.
Recent technological enhancements, such as Smart Boards
and classroom multimedia systems as well as our new Dis-
tance Learning Center have provided teachers with in-
creased opportunities for creative lesson planning aimed
at the ongoing development of a Twenty-First Century
learning environment.
Challenges
The expense of operating the Kohler Schools will con-
tinue to rise while the prospect of increased enrollment,
and therefore increased revenue, is less certain. There is
no known residential development planned within the
Kohler School District. While we have positive longitu-
dinal data with regard to Open Enrollment differentials,
the competition from other school districts to attract
Kohler students, and retain their own, is expected to in-
crease demonstrably. The district will intensify its mar-
keting efforts in an attempt to optimize our enrollment
capacity through the Open Enrollment process.
The current status of teacher contract negotiations leaves
the district with a high degree of expense uncertainty mov-
ing forward. A fiscally responsible successor agreement is
critical to the districts future given the ambiguous nature
of the school funding deliberations at the State level.
Additionally, the operating budget will be constrained by
the added principal payments associated with approxi-
mately $1,000,000 in facilities repairs and upgrades cur-
rently being considered by the Board. For these projects,
the district is attempting to take full advantage of the 0%
Qualified School Construction Bonds program that consti-
tutes an element of recent the Federal stimulus package
(ARRA).
Conclusion
The ongoing tradition of scholastic excellence emanating
from the Kohler Public Schools has been a cornerstone
of the Villages sense of community pride and public at-
traction. The goal of the School Board, Administration,
and Staff is to continually improve and grow. Working
with our partners in education, the Kohler Company and
the Village Board, and with the support of the parents,
district residents, the Kohler School Foundation, Kohler
School Friends, PAO, Booster Club, as well the Kohler
Foundation and RDK Foundation and other school en-
richment focused groups, the challenges will be met, and
new opportunities will develop. Know, that with this
broad-based support, our students will continue to re-
ceive a progressive Twenty-First-Century education.

Hats On Day
Submitted by Principal Susan Jaberg
Our Kohler School District participated
in Hats On Day this past Friday, Novem-
ber 13th, 2009. All Students and Staff were
encouraged to wear a hat to school and in
doing so donate a small amount of money
for Childhood Cancer Research. The ele-
mentary school had almost 100% participa-
tion. Hats On Day is a nationwide event
where students pay a nominal fee for the
privilege of wearing a hat of their choice to
school to help raise childhood cancer aware-
ness. Childhood Cancer is the leading cause
of death (excluding accidents) for children
under the age of 20. Hats On Day encour-
ages the students to gain more understanding
for the estimated 12,400 children under the
age of 20 who are diagnosed with cancer
every year. Our Kohler School District sup-
port for cancer research was fantastic! We
raised over $ 672.08 for the Foundation for
Children with Cancer. Hats Off to all our
generous students and faculty.
The worst feeling is having your child
get picked on at school or in the commu-
nity. Then it happens, the first question you
might ask is why? Did my child provoke
it? Is it a one time situation? Is it just a
joke? Should I just let it go? As a principal,
I honestly see very few situations that
arent two sided. In short, both individuals
have blame in the development of the con-
flict.
What I seldom see in my office is bul-
lying. The reason, the victim usually does-
nt come forward. The individual feels bad
enough and hopes it goes away.
What is bullying? Its defined as a series
of intentional and repeated cruel incidents
involving the same victim. It is an imbal-
ance of power!
What can parents do to prevent this be-
havior? The following are recommenda-
tions from Jim Jelinski of Creative
Education Services of Dubuque Iowa.
Let your children know that being different
is okay for them and for others! The most
common reason for being picked on is in-
tolerance of others.
Model non-violent behaviors at home.
Avoid physical punishments. Dont
allow sibling abuse.
Monitor TV. The average child is likely
to have watched 8,000 on-screen mur-
ders and more than 100,000 acts of vio-
lence by the end of elementary school.
Teach your children to speak up in un-
comfortable situations, and encourage
them to walk away, try humor or say
Please stop!
Always intervene during hurtful behav-
ior: Say, We dont do that here, with
that referring to anything meant to hu-
miliate or embarrass or hurt. Do this if
its your child or someone elses! Bul-
lying is a behavior thats not warranted
under any circumstance. Remember it
takes a village to raise a child!
Cyber-bullying which uses technology
to harass others is a big problem. Keep
any eye on what your children electron-
ically send to others and view what is
coming back to them. The use of com-
puters to bully is a big problem in mid-
dle school.
If you suspect your child is a victim of bul-
lying at school, check out the warning
signs and document detailed information.
Try not to overreact, but report it to school.

We ask parents to discuss this issue with their
children now before the actual emergency oc-
curs. If you are generally not home during the day,
be sure your child knows where they are to go if
school closed early: will they go home with a
classmate; an older sibling; or a relative? Have you
made prior arrangements with this individual to be
on stand by for these occasions? Please make
your arrangements in advance and make sure your
child is fully aware of what to do in case school
closes early.
Any decision to close school for all or any por-
tion of a school day will be made as early as possi-
ble in order to afford parents the opportunity to
make alternate child care transportation plans. All
closing announcements or early dismissals will be
made on the following area radio/television sta-

Kohler Schools are excited to announce
that Student Access will be available
starting December 1st for students in 7th
12th grade. Student Access is much like
Family Access that parents use to check
their students grades and other vital
information via the internet. Now our older
students will be able to view their individual
student information without access to the
information of their siblings. Student Access
will allow students to track their grade book,
graduation requirements (high school only),
attendance and view their report cards.
Finally, and most exciting, the students will
be able to view their own current schedules
as well as make scheduling requests during
the open course requests window via
Student Access. Students 7-12 will be
distributed their access codes during the
month of December. Mrs. Multer will
teacher the current 8th graders, Class of
2014 how to use Student Access to make
course requests for the 2010-2011 during
the Individual Planning Conferences in
December. The remaining high school
students will be taught how to enter their
course requests for the 2010- 2011 school
year during sessions held in the computer
lab during school hours the first week of
January. If you have any questions
regarding Student Access please contact
Technology Coordinator, Wendy Nasgovitz
at ext. 1304. Questions regarding course
requests should be directed to Laura Multer,
School Counselor at ext. 1102.
Not only is it Kohler's first year participating in Project
G.R.I.L.L, but also their first year with an engineering
club. The club consists of over 20 students and is lead by
the Technology Education instructor, Dave DeBruin.
Project G.R.I.L.L. is a program put on by Lakeshore
Technical College to not only expose high school students
to job opportunities in manufacturing, but also to get them
interested and excited about career possibilities.
Kohler is one of the six participating schools. Each
school has partnered with a sponsor company and has to
make a grill. The grill must be functional, well-built, and
be of an agreed-upon design with their partner company.
Each school must be sure to stay within budget and guide-
lines. At the end of the year, there will be an unveiling
party held at Road America where all of the schools come
together and have a grill-off.
Kohler has been partnered with Curt G. Joa, Inc. and
has regular meetings with their training coordinator and
members of their design team. They discuss time lines, de-
sign, and fabrication processes. Curt G. Joa, Inc. has been
an excellent sponsor so far, and we cannot wait to work
with them more throughout this process.
"It's great to see how involved and excited the kids are
about this. They are using their individual talents to come
together and make something meaningful. I'm excited to
see how this project comes together in the end," says De-
Bruin.
Look forward to more information about our upcoming
web page that tracks our progress!

By Tamra OKeefe-Director of Excep-
tional Education/School Psychologist
Thanks to federal special education
stimulus monies during the 2009-2011
school years, the Kohler School Dis-
trict Exceptional Education Depart-
ment has been able to implement
Smart board technology, portable key-
boards, software upgrades and curric-
ular materials to improve the
education for many students.
Since the monies were released in
September 2009, Smart boards have
been purchased for two Exceptional
Education and three co-taught class-
rooms at the middle school level.
Matt Baynes sixth grade, Len Hucke
and Jeff Smiths co-taught sixth grade
and Ashley Pasiewiczs Elementary
Exceptional Education classrooms
have all implemented web based les-
sons involving geography, racing for
math facts and interactive science and
social studies. The excitement the
students have when using the Smart
board is phenomenal, says Ms.
Pasiewicz. It is a great tool to foster
the students interaction within the
lesson. It will be wonderful to move
toward integrating technology and
moving away from worksheets.
Also at the Middle School and
High School levels, Monica LaBudde
(MS Social Studies) and Lori
Schmid/Chris Berry HS/MS Excep-
tional Education have Smart boards
installed and are waiting for retro-
fitting with pre-existing projectors to
begin using them. Our students are
inquiring everyday to know when
they will be available indicated Mrs.
LaBudde. There is so much you can
do with the board. They cant wait to
interact with the boards to learn about
geography and other social studies
topics in a non-traditional manner.
Arlie Thee, Speech Pathologist for the
Kohler District expressed excitement
in the multi-modality of new technol-
ogy advances including 10 portable
keyboards that have on-board the-
saurus, dictionaries, and math skills
and can text-to-speech. It is very ex-
citing that we can now provide stu-
dents with visual supports, and reach
the kinesthetic learner to address all
learning styles for optimal educational
development.
The Exceptional Education team
met multiple times to research the best
allocation of resources as these are
one time limited funds. LANGUAGE
a comprehensive integrated
reading/writing program that spans
across the 3rd to 12th grade, Trans-
math a geometry/algebra curriculum
for 7th-12th grade and Readwell a
phonemic skills/early reading pro-
gram were also purchased for the Ex-
ceptional Education program. These
are all research based programs rec-
ommended for early literacy skills and
reading/writing development sup-
ported by the National Reading
Panel, indicated Tamra OKeefe.
We are so fortunate to have addi-
tional monies this year to improve
programming for all students. Ulti-
mately, the Exceptional Education and
Regular Education Departments are
looking for ways to best reach all stu-
dents, so that we can provide inclu-
sion opportunities for Exceptional
Education students and multiple meth-
ods of learning to reach the struggling
non-Exceptional Ed. students as
well. The Smart boards are cool
, the sixth graders in Mr.
Smith/Huckes room commented.
Other purchases include updated
Boardmaker software for students
who need visual supports, 12 new
computers, projectors for Mr. Baynes
and Ms. Pasiewiczs rooms, braillers
for visually impaired students and
computer software. All materials and
supplies for the Exceptional Educa-
tion Department come from a special
budget allocated for Exceptional Ed.
from Federal Funding. The AARA
funding provided for Exceptional Ed-
ucation during the 2009-2011 school
years is an additional account, which
has benefited both Regular and Ex-
ceptional Educational children in the
district.

Communications/Announcements/Schedules
Board Presidents ReportJane Bishop is pleased to announce that she met with the Memo-
rial Hall committee last week. The original agreement that established the parameters the vil-
lage shares with the school was established in 1953. Some parts of the pink agreement need
to reflect the 21
st
century. The Village Board of Trustees would like to discuss with the Kohler
Company modifications to the pink agreement in January. The school need to hold the stu-
dents to no eating or drinking in the theater or village gym. The village is also moving forward
with improving lighting on the stage.
2009 Senior Survey Presentation/AcknowledgementAmy Biznek was the lead person who
conducted the Senior exit survey. The goal was to get a better understanding of the students
high school experience. First, the students completed on online survey which was completely
anonymous and easy to administer. Then, adult volunteers led focus groups based on the
questions in the survey. On average, the seniors felt most positive about Kohlers academic
reputation, teaching staff, math & science departments, open campus and lunch. Common
themes were: communication, class variety, and current middle school structure. The commit-
tee tried to develop a step by step action plan for the district as a result. This data is only a
snapshot of one class at one time. If the district defines the scope of the study, more data can
be gathered. Bob and Jane commended the committee and volunteers for their efforts. Lee
thanked them for volunteering their time and for finding ways to better serve our customers
the Kohler student body.

talks cheese online
Written by icole Svacina of The Kohler
Capsule
Wisconsinites know cheese. More than
600 varieties are produced here. Beyond
cheddar, Colby and Swiss are the artesian
cheeses: distinctive, specialty-flavored
cheeses that are great to use in cooking and
entertaining.
I cant think of having a good meal
without cheese, said Chef Ulrich Kober-
stein, Group Director Culinary Arts, Hos-
pitality & Real Estate. Koberstein recently
appeared on a live, interactive Webcast,
sponsored by the Wisconsin Milk Market-
ing Board and Sargento Cheese, to pro-
mote the use of Wisconsin artesian
cheeses.
The unique initiative encourages the
use of Wisconsin artisan cheeses not only
during the holiday season, but all year
throughas we do in The Kitchens of
Kohler restaurants, he said.
Koberstein prepared salmon sliders and
answered audience questions during a por-
tion of the 30-minute broadcast. He also
suggested the audience visit the many local
cheese makers and experience The Ameri-
can Club and The Kitchens of Kohler
restaurants during their visit to Sheboygan
County.
We are blessed to have many great
cheeses made in our backyard, he said.
