Village preparing to implement
recommendations of new
comprehensive plan
After working with a consultant for over
a year, the Village adopted a new
Comprehensive Plan in October of 2007 to
update the previously existing Village
Master Plan, which was almost 30 years
old. Based upon input from Village resi-
dents via a survey distributed to every
household in 2006, as well as input from
key stakeholders and local officials, the
Comprehensive Plan contains 59 recom-
mendations for housing, transportation, util-
ities, community facilities, economic devel-
opment, natural and cultural resources, land
use, and intergovernmental relations.
Because such a large number of recom-
mendations would be difficult to implement
all at once, individual members of the Plan
Commission and Village Board, along with
the Strategic Long-Range Planning
Committee (which includes representatives
from Kohler Co. and Kohler Public
Schools) are currently in the process of
ranking the 59 recommendations on the
basis of whether they should be addressed
Cheers to 90 years! The American
Club celebrates anniversary in 2008
The American Club celebrates its 90th
anniversary this year and invites travelers,
village residents and historians alike to expe-
rience The American Club and the historic
aspects of the Kohler Co.
Dedicated June 23, 1918, The American
Club has had a significant place in the devel-
opment of Kohler Co. and the Village of
Kohler. Walter J. Kohler, Sr. founded this
Tudor-style building to provide lodging for
immigrant laborers who worked at Kohler
Co. Today, the hotel stands as a testament to
Kohlers commitment to the people living in
the Village of Kohler and the people who
come to visit. The concept of gracious living
has long been a Kohler Co. mainstay, spread
by its innovative, world-famous bathroom
designs; a concept that also served as the
guiding force behind the 1981 renovations to
The American Club to transform the dormito-
ry to a luxury village inn. Each of the 240
rooms within The American Club is outfitted
in the Tudor style and contains a Kohler
whirlpool bath.

Immediately, Mid-Term (2010-2012), Long-
Term (2012+), or are Not a Priority. The

ulated in early June and the list of recom-
mendations will be ranked 1-59. The three
groups will meet jointly at 5:30 p.m. on
June 16 at the Village Hall to discuss the
results of the prioritization process and
what steps need to be taken to make
progress on the highest ranked recommen-
dations.
Village residents can view the list of
Plan recommendations on the Kohler
Villager website by clicking on the Plan
Recommendations link.
We worked hard on the Plan and
received a lot of citizen input from the sur-
vey. No one wants to see the Plan sit on a
shelf and gather dust, said Plan
Commissioner Lee Gumm.

tive, added Village President Tom

Oscar Ward accepts a plaque from Tom Leonhardt on behalf of the Village Board for his
many years of service as a Trustee for the Village of Kohler.
Oscar Ward recognized
for many years of service
On April 21 Oscar Ward, attending his
final Village Board meeting as a Village
Trustee, was recognized for his many years
of service to Kohler Village.
Before moving to Kohler in 1966, Ward
served on the school boards for Willow
Springs Elementary (1959), and the
Hamilton-Sussex district. After moving to
Kohler, Ward served on the Kohler School
Board in the 1970s, including a two-year
term as School Board President.
Ward retired in 1992 from Schultz Sav-
O Stores, Inc., (Piggly Wiggly) where he
was the Vice President of meat operations.
He was elected as Village Trustee for the
1995-97 term, served as Village Board
President from 1997-2005, and again as
Trustee from 2006-2008. He was a propo-
nent of public safety and services, and run-
ning an open, accessible government. He
supported funding school renovations, pro-
moted housing, and helped to expedite
processes needed for getting Deer Trace
Shopping Center going.
Ward said that while he misses his serv-
ice on the Village Board, he believes its
time for younger residents to step in and
bring fresh ideas to the table. He would
especially like to see women on the board.
Ward, who will soon turn 80, said he
will continue to be active in community
service, and is especially interested in help-
ing the Salvation Army. He said he may also
consider a future run for the County Board.

Dear Amy,
Someone told me that the
reputation of the school district
impacts the value of a home.
I s that true?
The answer to this question can be
found in the oft quoted real estate
axiom: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCA-
TION.
One major factor in LOCATION is the
strength of the local school district. New
information on over 125,000 schools and
14,000 districts have found that despite the
economic downturn in the real estate market
homes with highly rated local schools across
the nation generally maintain or increase their
value.
Of course, there is always a chance that
prices in even the best communities and
neighborhoods may decline. Home values
fluctuate up and down on a regular basis.
However, if you are in a very desirable loca-
tion and if prices do decline your home will
probably be among the first to increase in
value when the market turns around. It has
been shown again and again that the very best
homes, in outstanding condition, in excellent
locations, and properly priced sell well in
almost any market.
I would like you to receive a copy of my
report on how to get the most money for your
home in any market!!
Please send me all of your questions, or com-
ments; I can always be reached at 920-377-
1948, or TeamAmy@AmyGutschow.com.
I look forward
to hearing fromyou!

The Scallions, an alternative rock band
made up of four Kohler High School stu-
dents, played to a winning finish at the
recent Launchpad 2008 regional competi-
tion held at Wauwatosa East High School.
Band members Charlie Reinertsen
(vocals/guitar/sax), Jordan Kusel
(vocals/guitar), Mark Nebel (bass) and
Dominic Gischia (drums) performed three
songs two Scallions originals and a cover
of Crazy Game of Poker by O.A.R. Three
music industry professionals, all active
musicians in the Milwaukee area, were
impressed with their musicianship and old-
school style.
We felt incredible about the show, says
Reinertsen. We got a ton of support from
the crowd, from our fans, and from people
in the other bands. Asked about the state
competition, Reinertsen said, There will be
some great bands there. Were going to fine
tune some things in our songs and take our
performance up another notch.
The state competition will be held at the
Memorial Union Theatre on the UW-
Madison campus on Saturday, June 21. The
competition begins at 4 p.m. and the
Scallions will go on at 8:35 p.m. Prizes
include the Les Paul Launchpad award,
named after the famed Wisconsin guitarist,
studio recording time, and a gig at
Summerfest.
The members of the band would like to
invite everyone to come and support them.
Tickets for the show are available through
band members or directly from the
Memorial Union Theatre at www.unionthe-
ater.wisc.edu. For more information about
Launchpad, visit their website at

You try to do a few pushups and discover that
certain body parts refuse to leave the floor.
Your children look through your wedding album
and want to know who moms first husband was.
You get winded just saying the words, 10 kilo-
meter run.
You come to the conclusion that, if God really
wanted you to touch your toes each morning, He
would have put them somewhere around your
knees.
You analyze your body honestly and decide what
you should develop first is your sense of humor.
You step on a talking scale and it says, Come

OBITUARIES
Paul J. Goldie
Goldman, 83, of
7015 Superior Ave.,
Kohler, retired law
enforcement officer
with the Sheboygan
Police Department,
died shortly after
being admitted to
St. Nicholas Hospital on Tuesday, April
29, 2008. He suffered a stroke in March
and was currently a resident of the
Sheboygan Progressive Care Center.
Paul was born September 18, 1924
in Sheboygan to John and Pauline
(Mohr) Goldmann. Paul attended Trinity
Lutheran School before graduating
from Sheboygan Central High School,
Class of 1942.
During W.W. II Paul served his coun-
try in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS
Alex Diachenko in the Pacific Theater
of Operations.
Paul began his career as a law
enforcement officer with the Sheboygan
Police Dept. in July of 1949. Many will
remember Paul patrolling the down-
town on his motorcycle and leading
funeral processions to the cemetery.
After 39 years as a Sheboygan Police
Officer, Paul retired in April of 1988. In
the 1960s Paul also worked part time
at Norm Voigts Standard Station locat-
ed near the H.C.Prange store.
On September 28, 1980 Paul mar-
ried Kathleen (Hueppchen) Preder of
Sheboygan.
Paul was a member of Bethany
Lutheran Church in Kohler.
Goldie was an avid bowler most
recently bowling in leagues at Maple
Lanes. Photography was his number
one passion. He won many awards
through the years for his skills in pho-
tography. Goldie would look forward to
the arrival of Spring to begin work in his
vegetable garden.
In addition to his wife, Kathy, Paul is
survived by a daughter, Laura (Duane)
Hohl of Portage, Wisconsin; a son, Jeff
(friend, Lynn) Goldmann of Sheboygan;
a step-son, Todd (Chris) Preder of
Sheboygan; a step-daughter, Tricia
(Derek) Powell of Belgium, Wisconsin;
and a sister, Elaine Fetting of Appleton.
Goldie is further survived by two very
special step-grandchildren, Samuel and
Malayna Preder of Sheboygan; his
father and mother-in-law, Harold and
Verna Hueppchen of Plymouth; and
other family members and friends.
In addition to his parents, Paul was
preceded in death by a son, Paul M.
Goldmann.
The public is invited to a special wor-
ship service at the Kohler Village Hall, 319
Highland Avenue, on Sunday, June 8th, at
10:00 A.M., sponsored by Reformation
Presbyterian Church. According to the pas-
tor, Dr. Frank J. Smith, this may very well
be the first Presbyterian church service ever
conducted in Kohler; and he noted that this
occasion provides a good opportunity for
local residents to come and experience what
a Presbyterian worship service is all about.
Pastor Smith stated, Were a young con-
Public invited to special
worship service in Kohler
gregation and we dont have our own build-
ing as of yet, so we are meeting on a regu-
lar basis at the Holland Town Hall outside
of Cedar Grove. However, as we look to the
future and the possibility of obtaining our
own church building, and based on the fam-
ilies already involved in our congregation,
one of the places where weve considered
locating is Kohler.
For further information, you may call
(920) 564-6501; or visit the churchs web
site at www.reformationpc.org.

At a special School Board meeting on May 5th, Hazard,
Young, Attea and Associates (HYA), the search firm hired by
the Kohler Board of Education to find a new superintendent,
presented the Leadership Profile results. The data for this pro-
file was gathered using the Leadership Profile Assessment
Document. This tool guided the interviews and meetings the
search firm held with a broad range of individuals and groups
within the school and community. The consultants sought
opinions, recommendations, and general comments with
regard to the characteristics and qualifications needed in a new
superintendent. The Leadership Profile results are available in
the library for public review.
HYA reported that they have evaluated many resumes for
the position and presented the Board with a recommended slate
of qualified applicants at a special meeting on May 28th.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Board anticipates
conducting all interviews with candidates in early June. This
would allow the School Board to continue with the plan to hire
a new Superintendent by July 1.
School Board
Accepts Donations
The School Board of Education was pleased to accept the fol-
lowing generous donations at the May meeting:
1. A new refrigerator for the Kohler Kare facility given by a
private donor.
2. The Kohler High School Booster Club donations totaling
$11,770. Items purchased through this gift benefit many
sports including boys soccer, volleyball, tennis, boys and
girls basketball, golf, track, cheerleading, summer program-
ming and supplies. Thanks to the Booster club donation, nec-
essary sporting equipment, team travel expenses, team
awards, and tennis court rental time were provided.
The School District of Kohler and the School Board are
grateful for these contributions.

The Kohler School Board of Education announced that
Lee Benish would be the interim principal for Kohler
Middle/High School for the 2008-09 school year. Ms. Diane
Venn, Chair of the School Boards Human Resources commit-
tee, stated, Mr. Benish brings a wealth of experience and a
passion for students. He has a reputation as a good communi-
cator with teachers and students and is known for carefully
evaluating all sides of an issue.
Mr. Benish was the High School Principal at Sheboygan
South High School for 9 years. He retired in June 2007. He
spearheaded that schools 5-year goal to increase the gradua-
tion rate from 87% to 95% and did this in 4 years. Mr. Benish
was well known by the students. He often ate lunch with them
in the cafeteria and enjoys getting to know students. Mr.
Benish believes in teaching with love and logic and modeling
resolution, reports Ms Venn.
He has also been Senior High School principal in
Menomonie, WI. While there, he worked with UW-Stout and
UW-Eau Claire to share curriculum, courses, and utilize stu-
dent teachers from these universities.
Mr. Benish has a Bachelors of Science degree in Physical
Education from UW-Lacrosse. He has his Masters of Science
degree in Curriculum and Supervision with an emphasis in
School Administration from UW-Oshkosh. He also has an
Education Specialist degree from UW-Superior.
The School Board is pleased to have Mr. Benish bring his
expertise to Kohler, stated Ms. Venn, The Board believes
that choosing an interim principal provides the new
Superintendent the opportunity to be actively involved in the
selection process for a formal MS/HS Principal candidate.
Snow Day Make-Up
June 9th & 10th
The make-up days for the previously canceled school
on January 30th and February 6th are scheduled for
June 9th and 10th. All grade levels except seniors will
attend those days. The High School has scheduled its
finals for those days, with seniors having their finals the
week before and graduating on June 8th.
Dear Parents:
After extensive research of several possibilities, the Kohler
School District has reached a tentative agreement with a
Minneapolis-based school lunch provider that serves 165
clients in a 12-state area. We encourage you to review this
companys website at www.taher.com to see upgrades and
benefits that could be offered to our school. Some of the
Kohler upgrades would include:
The addition of a professionally-trained chef/manager
while retaining current staff
Expanding daily choices while offering healthy and
appealing selections
Emphasis on whole, fresh food that is prepared from
scratch
A culturally-diverse menu that addresses age-appropriate
portion sizes
An all-you-care-to-eat fresh fruit and vegetable bar
A menu that highlights a fruit-of-the-month, a vegetable-
of-the-month and a quarterly harvest grain selection with
corresponding educational material
A full-service website dedicated to Kohler School
District with online nutrition information on all menu
items and a quarterly Food-4-Life flyer
Passion and commitment to stay on cutting edge of school
lunch nutrition
Total elimination of trans fats from menu
The possibility of daily breakfast and healthy snack serv-
ice
Positioning Kohlers Wellness Program ahead of other
schools in Sheboygan County
Investment in your childs health and well-being
The price for hot lunch during the 2008-2009 school year
will be $3.25. Without the new lunch service provider, next
years hot lunch price was scheduled to be increased from
$2.70 to $2.90. For the year, the $3.25 per lunch (up from
$2.90) would additionally cost an elementary student who
ate:
1x week = $12.60 (.35 x 1 x 36 weeks)
2x week = $25.20 (.35 x 2 x 36)
3x week = $37.80 (.35 x 3 x 36)
4x week = $50.40 (.35 x 4 x 36)
5x week = $63.00 (.35 x 5 x 36)
We are working with the new company (Taher, Inc.) to
schedule an opportunity for families to come to the school to
ask questions and for a tasting/sampling of the foods that will
be prepared next year. We are hoping to schedule this event
before the end of this school year. Please watch for more
details.
Please contact me with any questions you might have.
Thank you,
Jeff Dickert, Kohler School District Administrator

Scholarship Policy
Changes
Beginning next year the selection of seniors for college
scholarships will rest in teacher ratings and retired teacher
selection. The Board approved changing Policy 460-
Student Scholarships last month. The change in the
process will take the onus off of current teachers making
the final selection for scholarships, as many parents felt
the selections were driven by relationships rather than
merit.
Policy 460 calls for teachers to rate students both their
junior and senior year in various categories of perform-
ance. Ascholarship committee made up of the high school
principal and two retired teachers from any level, who can
only serve two years on the committee, will select the
recipient based on the information presented. The commit-
tee will use the new teacher rating system as well as
grades, ACT scores, and other criteria as called for in each
different scholarship. Most scholarships given on Honors
Night are selected by the giving organization or family.
The District committee annually only selects the recipient
of roughly ten scholarships.

Kohler High School Science Program
Prepares Students for College
Kohler Science isnt what it used to be!!!
The school now offers: General Biology, General Physical Science, College Prep Biology,
Advanced Honors Biology, College track Introduction to Chemistry and Physics, College Prep
Chemistry and College Prep Physics. These classes are taught by Jessie Good, the 2005 Biology
Teacher of the Year Award winner from the National Association of Biology, and Dana Krejcarek,
winner of the 2005 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Teaching.
The advantages of offering these college prep classes to students are numerous. Not only do
the classes prepare students for college level studies, but often they stimulate an interest in sci-
ence or science-related careers of which the student may not have been previously aware. Many
Kohler High School students pursue science degrees, and having the college prep courses makes
the student an attractive candidate to the admissions department of these colleges and universi-
ties.
The college prep science classes provide challenges as well. Often, specific content is cov-
ered in greater depth. Students must connect in-class learning to real-life application, and class
discussions cover current events relating to the subject. In addition, the classes seek to improve
time management and problem-solving skills, often using state-of-the-art technology as tools.
Finally, enrichment opportunities are frequently provided to allow students to take the topic a step
further.
Currently, there are not enough students on this track to allow courses for AP track students.
Kohler High School realizes this track may not be desirable for those students who prefer to bal-
ance their academic coursework with extracurricular activities. The Kohler High School philos-
ophy focuses on providing an avenue for students to experience an in-depth science course
whether or not they plan to major in science in college. Students who participate are able to take
the AP exams, which require extra work. For example, students on the AP Biology track (with-
in Advanced Honors Biology) move at a faster pace with additional work out of class that often
limits available time to participate in extracurricular activities such as sports, music, and math
team.
The time involved to prepare for the AP exam is often the reason students choose not to par-
ticipate. However, this year 12 students have taken the AP Biology test and 4 have taken the AP
Chemistry test. Most students realize some colleges and universities offer their own placement
exams for free, and therefore they elect not to take the advanced placement (AP) exams. Yet oth-
ers take the exams to try to stand out during the admissions process and test out of certain col-
lege classes.
Having teachers involved in state and national programs has offered Kohler High School
insight regarding the standards and benchmarks necessary for students success in high school
science classes. Ms. Krejcarek currently serves on the College Board Advance Placement
Chemistry Commission directed by the National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C.,
whose charge is to rewrite the AP science courses. Both teachers feel their experiences have
enhanced their classes. Jessie Good states, It is rewarding to provide an opportunity for students
to experience complex science concepts using state of the art science equipment. It is exciting to
watch and guide students as they grow and discover their own abilities and interests.
Mr. Jeff Dickert, Superintendent of Kohler Schools, commented, While Kohler High School
does not have a course specifically titled AP Biology or AP Chemistry, our school offers more
than the AP course; yet dedicated students can get the AP materials and take the test. What small
schools with wonderfully competent and committed teachers have to do is get creative and pro-
vide whatever they can that advances our students interests and needs. Ms. Krejcarek and Ms.
Good have committed more of their time and talent to provide the AP experience and much more
to their students. The Kohler School, and especially their students, is truly fortunate. We have the
best of both worlds in our science department. This will continue to keep our science ACT scores
at the top of the State of Wisconsin Public Schools.

CLIMB Theatre returns to
Kohler for 3rd year
On April 7th and 8th CLIMB Theatre returned to
Kohler Schools to work with students for the third time
in three years. This year we added the Middle School
and 9th grade classes. The 1st - 4th grade worked with
CLIMB on Recycling and Environmental issues, while
the 5th-9th grade classes discussed cyber bullying and
Internet safety. The discussions were very interactive,
with group work and roll playing. These workshops
were interesting and informative for both students and
teachers.
KSF Welcomes
Elementastic
On March 20th KSF brought the science
entertainment company Elementastic to the
Elementary school. They did two 45-minute
shows for the 1st-6th grade classes in the vil-
lage gym. The show was a hit for both stu-
dents and teachers alike. Elementasic was so
well liked, they were added to the summer
school options for Kohler Schools this June.

music classes will not give semester exams because their
elementary school classes conflict with the semester test
schedule. Students will not attend these classes nor will
they be required to attend study halls. However, EVERY
OTHER CLASS IS SCHEDULED TO MEET FOR THE
ENTIRE TIME PERIOD INDICATED. Students may
use the library for supervised study on both days from
8:00 AM until 3:30 PM.
Buses
School buses will follow regular schedules. If stu-
dents decide to come only for scheduled tests, responsi-
bility for transportation belongs to the parents and the
student.
School Curriculum
Committee Benchmarks
Schools
With the goal of assuring that Kohler School District cur-
ricula are current and competitive, the Kohler School Board
Curriculum and Instruction Committee formed a subcommit-
tee to research the issue. The School Curriculum Committee
(SCC) was formed in October of 2007 and is comprised of
Superintendent Jeff Dickert and six Kohler parents who rep-
resent students from the high school, middle school and ele-
mentary school as well as school choice students. Members
include Diane Kelly, Mike Venn, Pam Esche, Tom Beane,
JulieAnn Jarentowski, and Pat Halverson.
Since its inception, the SCC has been working to evaluate
curricula as a whole with an emphasis on the high school.
Advanced Placement coursework has become standard in
public and private high school systems. The subcommittee
has endeavored to benchmark Kohler School District against
similar schools. Twenty-one schools were selected based on
comparable ACT scores and structure. The curricula was eval-
uated as a whole with an emphasis on credits needed for grad-
uation, honors and AP courses, college credit courses, and
language courses. Among the schools the SCC benchmarked
were: West Madison High, Shorewood, Whitefish Bay,
University School Milwaukee, Homestead, Nicolet, and
Sheboygan North and South.
To date, the School Curriculum Committee has advised
the Board to establish College Prep Science, clarify the titles
of current math courses, and add AP Calculus and
Intermediate College Algebra to the curriculum.
Faculty input is very important to the SCC, so they have
recently surveyed Kohler High School teachers for their input
regarding high school students receiving college credit. The
subcommittee plans to gather the information and present rec-
ommendations to the School Board Curriculum & Instruction
Committee and share the information with the School Board
no later than October, 2008. In this way, the School Board
can make informed decisions about the future school curricu-
la in time for the 2009-10 school year.
Superintendent Jeff Dickert continues to work with the
committee defining the direction of the District when looking
at the High School curriculum in areas of College Credit,
College Prep, Advance Placement (AP), Articulated Courses,
or Transcripted Courses. According to Dickert, The District
needs to continue to provide college preparatory or college
level courses in an eclectic approach. Both the science depart-
ment and the math department have looked at solving the
problem with an eclectic approach. The science department
uses college prep courses with a wider curriculum than the AP
courses and yet our students can take the AP test working with
our instructors. The math department will now have an AP
Calculus course, a college algebra course with credit admin-
istered by Lakeland College, and a math applications course
with transcripted credit administered by Lakeshore Technical
College. That is truly using our small school resources wise-
ly.

Early Release Activities
Kayaking Fun on Early
Release Day!
Kayaking at Camp Y-Koda was the final early
release activity of the 07-08 school year. Ten ener-
getic students participated in this hour long program
which included instruction in basic kayaking skills
and techniques on the open water. As the children
paddled their kayaks around the pond, they also
discovered and learned about wildlife in this natural
habitat.
This year the Wellness program has offered spe-
cial early release activities to get children moving,
even when the weather wasnt great. Opportunities
included swimming, yoga, snowshoeing, and open
gym time. The Wellness Committee would like to
thank Suzanne Fink for organizing all of these spe-
cial events. Look forward to more activities next
school year!
Thank you for supporting the
Kohler Wellness Program,
committed to health and
nutritional education.
http://www.kohlerwellness.com
The Kohler Classic is June 14! Running a five kilo-
meter race is an excellent goal for new runners.
Participating in a race is exciting and fun, as well as
motivation to keep on exercising. If you are consider-
ing running in this years Kohler Classic, here are a
few tips to make this years race a success.
Tips for success
Before starting any training program, a visit to your
doctor is important. Running is challenging, so if you
are not in good shape physically or have preexisting
injuries, you may be putting yourself at risk for serious
consequences.
Wear comfortable shoes. Good shoes are critical
to safe, efficient running. Go to a running specific shoe
store or see a healthcare provider such as a physical
therapist or podiatrist who specializes in evaluating
feet. Professionals in either of these settings under-
stand how your foot type affects your walking/running
patterns. They will be able to recommend the type of
shoe that best addresses your foots specific needs.
Start slow. If you have little or no experience run-
ning, it is very common to start too fast and reach a
level of exertion that your body just isnt ready to han-
dle yet. Maintain a pace that allows you to talk easily
with another runner. Injuries are often the result of
pushing too hard, too soon. Take it easy!
Practice on the actual running surface. Running on
a treadmill in an air conditioned gym will not give you
the same effect as running in race conditions. This
doesnt mean run in the heat of the day, but spend
some time running on pavement during the cooler
times of the day to help your body adapt to race con-
ditions.
Walk before you have to. When you first start your
training, practice a run/walk workout routine and dont
wait until youre exhausted before you start walking.
Try timing your run/walks in a 1-mile workout. Spend
2 minutes running and 1 minute walking until you have
finished the workout. Continue to progress toward run-
ning for a longer time and walking less.
Balance your nutrition. Carbohydrates are the fuel
that our muscles burn, so it stands to reason that
active people need more carbohydrates than seden-
tary people. A low-carb diet is simply not a good idea
for an athlete. In general, runners should get about
50% - 65% of their calories from carbohydrates, about
15% - 20% from protein, and no more than 30% from
fats. As much of the fat as possible should come from
healthy sources such as fish and nuts.
Wear the right gear. Dress appropriately for the
weather on event day. Remember you will build up
body heat as you run, so make sure the clothes you
wear pull the sweat away from you; otherwise, when
you stop running the sweat will cool and cause mus-
cles to tighten and cramp. Overdressing can lead to
heat exhaustion and dehydration.
Avoiding Setbacks
Overtraining is common, but by taking some precau-
tions, you can help minimize your risk of an injury set-
back. A proper warm-up and cool-down is important
to add to your routine. Rest as needed, and listen to
what your body is telling you. Remember, each day
you attempt and complete your workout you are
another step closer toward achieving your goal of fin-
ishing a 5K race. For more training suggestions visit

381-387-2201-0,00.html
See you at the finish line!
Monday, May 12, 2008 - The School Board unanimous-
ly approved all sixteen open enrollment junior kindergarten
students for the 2008-09 school year. This approval results
in adding a third section of JK to Kohler Elementary.
Along with the other two JK classes, it will meet in the
morning. The additional section will use the newly remod-
eled Kohler Kare room. Upon JK dismissal at 11:00 a.m.,
the room will be used for the Kohler Kare students.
Ms. Susan Jaberg, Elementary School Principal, said,
The additional students will allow all JK students to meet
more children their age while keeping small class sizes.
Open enrolled students will be distributed among the three
classes of roughly sixteen students. Ms. Jaberg stated, I
have always been pleased that the approved families who
have selected Kohler as their school of choice have partici-
Kohler Schools will add a third junior kindergarten
pated enthusiastically in the Kohler School family while
their children have fit right in.
Any class addition requires School Board approval. The
new section increases student enrollment, which is consis-
tent with the districts direction presented in the State of the
School address earlier this year. Dr. Jane Bishop, President
of the Kohler School Board said, Out-of-district students
were first sought and welcomed to the Kohler Schools in
1998. At that time, there was a concern that without addi-
tional enrollment and revenues the Schools would have to
close or merge with another school district. Since 1998, the
revenue the out-of-district students have brought with them
from their home districts has more than covered their
expenses. This excess revenue, as normal operating expens-
es have risen, has allowed the School to keep programs and
Tips for Running Your First 5K
staff. Indeed, the recent improvements smaller elemen-
tary classes, separate middle school structure, 2007-08
College Prep science courses, and the 2008-09 AP mathe-
matics course, which added more than $200,000 to annual
expenses, are affordable in part due to the excess of rev-
enues over expenses from the out-of district students. Dr.
Bishop continued, Our in-district enrollment will begin to
decline this school year and the School Board expects it to
continue at lower levels in the foreseeable future. With no
village plans for residential or economic development, this
has to become the basis for School Board budgeting and
forecasting. As before, the revenue brought by the out-of-
district students to the school budget will help to keep the
Kohler Schools viable and a source of pride to our commu-
nity.
Eighty-nine children from kindergarten to sixth grade participated in the Science Fair at Kohler
Elementary this year. The event took place on May 15th in conjunction with our annual music
and arts festival. Fascinating presentations were displayed along with incredible scientific knowl-
edge shared. Each student walked away with a ribbon and each class was awarded a Best of
Class medal. The following children received the award in their class respectively:
Kindergarten: Christian Cantrell
Grade 1: Claire Koeppen
Grade 2: Matthew Madeira
Grade 3: Jim Conklin
Grade 4: Lani Chung and Lauren Kelm
Grade 5: Audra Hoffmann
Grade 6: Valerie Linck and Courtney Rutten
A special thank you to all of our judges; the High School physics students of Ms. Dana
Krejcarek, Mrs. Tonya DePagter, Mr. Tom Dent, Dr. Suzi Herold, Mr. and Mrs. David Madigan,
Mrs. Sue Ruminski, Dr. Xiaohong Chen, Mr. Ruzdi Hidri, and Dr. Linda Bryce. We would also
like to thank Mrs. Jaberg, Mr. Dickert, teachers at the elementary level, and all of our parents for
their support in this important educational opportunity.
Great job everyone! Mrs. LaDuke, Elementary Science Fair Director

Pets of the month at the Sheboygan County Humane Society
The Kohler School Foundation launched
Project into the Future as a campaign
seeking to raise $60,000 to purchase and
install ceiling mounted computer projection
units in twenty classrooms by the start of
the 2008-09 academic year. Successfully
reaching this goal would make this valuable
technology available in every teaching
classroom at Kohler School.
So far, the response has been outstand-
ing, with close to $20,000 in contributions.
In addition, $30,000 from the Kohler
School Foundations annual fundraiser, Fall
Follies, will be dedicated to the project,
bringing the Kohler School Foundation
$10,000 away from reaching its goal of
$60,000. I believe the community recog-
nizes the importance of staying on the fore-
front of technology as we prepare our stu-
dents to enter a much different world, tech-
nology speaking, than we did, said
Foundation Board representative, Helen
Hamer. The commitment by alumni, par-
ents, community members, faculty, and
friends continue to inspire us.
Last year the Foundation donated six of
these units to Kohler School. The response
from the teachers and students was so posi-
tive that the Foundation, working with the
School, set the goal of making it available
to all.
Teacher testimonials:
The projectors are vital to what we do
every day! I could not teach effectively
without it students use them to do presen-
tations they have developed. This informa-
tion gathering presentation technology
challenges our students as it is used
throughout industry. Jessie Good - High
School
I am able to use an unlimited supply of
maps and geographical aids from the
Internet, as well as present visuals to
enhance the subject matter. Video stream
programs/videos and current events (kid
news) are used often because they are so
accessible due to having the projector right
in my room. Matt Bayens 6th Grade
The projector has been an excellent addi-
tion to my classroom giving me the
opportunity to show any appropriate web-
site or article that I can find online; web
quests, online quizzes, group research and
presentations opening up the door to end-
less possibilities of learning and experienc-
ing school in a new way. John Schad
Middle School.
Each fully installed ceiling mounted
computer projection unit costs over $2,800.
The current Kohler School budget simply
does not allow for an expenditure of this
magnitude.
Established in 1997, the Kohler School
Foundation exists to take the Kohler School
experience beyond the basics of public edu-
cation. To date, allocations from the
Foundation have funded math and reading
computer software, a major contribution
toward the technical educations computer
aided design (CAD) system, and in 2007, in
addition to the six ceiling mounted projec-
tion units, a 30-unit mobile laptop lab. In
2002, the Foundation also initiated an annu-
al scholarship to a graduating Kohler High
School student.
To keep up with advances in technology
and to maintain a progressive curriculum,
Kohler School needs a steady and reliable
source of revenue separate from the restrict-
ed and often challenged public funding.
Looking beyond the districts annual needs,
The Kohler School Foundation has also
established an endowment, in addition to
the Annual Fund, to invest in the future of
Kohler School. Benefits from the
Foundation help the school continue its tra-
dition of excellence.

Larrys Hauling Industrial Site
Just a reminder that Larrys Hauling has an
industrial site for yard waste only. It is located
in the Sheboygan Falls Industrial Park at 111
Balsam Road. Dumpsters are located between
the Hagemeir Construction and New Dawn
buildings. It will be necessary to have the office
open the locked gate for you. Office hours are
from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday. Residents may dump all materials into
the dumpsters. Please take any containers with
you.
Use of Village Trucks for Special Collections
Use of a Village truck for special pick-ups can
be arranged only with the approval of the
Public Works Superintendent. These include the
following items: Dirt, clean topsoil, sod.
Residents must load materials into the truck
themselves. Do not place materials in bags. If
you would like to arrange a special pick up,
please call 459-3881. If a resident has materials
from a remodeling or other construction project,
they may call Larrys Hauling at 467-1919 to
rent a dumpster.
Be a Leak Seeker
Water bill higher than usual? Check all faucets
for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15-29 gal-
lons per day.
Put a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank to
see if it leaks into the bowl. Based on experi-
ence, it is found that leaking toilets are the rea-
son for unusual water usage 90% of the time. If
you believe this is the cause you may contact
our department and our crew can detect leaks
with a special listening device.
Holiday Trash Collection Schedule
Due to the 4
th
of July Holiday being on a
Friday, there will not be regularly scheduled
garbage pick up on that day. Trash collection
will be on Saturday, July 5
th
for household
garbage only.
Garage Sale Signs
One temporary garage sale or for sale sign
shall be permitted on each lot or parcel. Signs
located on public property will be removed by
the Public Works Department or Police
Department.
Building Permits
A reminder that building permits are required

Open Book and Board of Review
The Village Assessor will be holding Open
Book session at the Village Hall soon. To
schedule an appointment with the assessor,
please call the Clerk-Treasurers office at 459-
3873. Open Book is an opportunity for property
owners to meet with the assessor and examine
the records for their property and discuss how
the assessment was made. Time spent dis-
cussing your assessment with the assessor may
eliminate the need for a formal appeal to the
Board of Review. At open book, the assessor is
allowed to make any changes that are necessary
to perfect the assessment roll.
The Village of Kohler Board of Review will
meet sometime after the Open Book session.
Property owners that want to appear before the
Board of Review to appeal their assessment
must provide the clerk-treasurer with written or
oral notice of your intent to file an objection at
least 48 hours before the first scheduled meet-
ing of the Board. Also, a written and signed
Form of Objection to Property Assessment
must be filled out and filed with the clerk with-
in the first 2 hours of the Boards first sched-
uled meeting.
