Kohler educator
chosen to represent
Wisconsin in
national program
Last month, The Kohler Villager reported
that Kohler second grade teacher Lori
Neurohr was among four Wisconsin teach-
ers named state Elementary Educator of the
Year by the Herb Kohl Educational
Foundation. Neurohr was chosen from
among those four to receive the national
Teacher of the Year award and will repre-
sent Wisconsin in the nations capital.
MADISONLori Neurohr, a second-grade
teacher at Kohler Elementary School, will
represent Wisconsin in the national Teacher
of the Year program.
A statewide panel of educators, parents,
and community leaders selected Neurohr
from among four Teachers of the Year
named in early September. She was chosen
for her superior ability to inspire a love of

Speed limit to
be changed
on Greenfield
Drive
The Kohler Village Board recently
passed an ordinance that will reduce the
speed limit on Greenfield Drive to 25 mph.
(The current limit is 35 mph.) The change,
which will go into effect in the near future,
also includes a special 15 mph zone on
Greenfield Drive and on Upper Road for
children going to and from school. Signs
will be flagged to alert motorists to the
lowered limit.
The lowered speed limit will also make
the area safer for pedestrians crossing
Greenfield Drive and Upper Road for
activities taking place at Ebben Field.
Kohler Police Chief Bill Rutten said the
Kohler Police Department knows there will
need to be some transition time, and will
give warnings when appropriate.
Plans are also in the works to close up
the boulevard at Orchard Court between
Upper Road and Greenfield Drive, and add
an extra crossing guard to that area.
Orchard Court is the short street next to the
Ebben Field tunnel entrance. The closing
of the boulevard will prevent motorists
traveling on Greenfield from turning onto
Orchard Court, and should help relieve
dangerous congestion in that area when
pedestrians are going to and from school or
events at Ebben Field.
Food and wine lovers
descend on Kohler
Despite high gas prices and a looming
economic crisis, the approximately 7,500
tickets sold for the eighth annual Kohler
Food and Wine Experience exceeded last
years sale of about 7,000 tickets.
The four-day event, which took place
October 23 through 26, featured 70 ticket-
ed events and more than three dozen com-
plimentary events. Food and wine connois-
seurs from the area as well as travelers
from around the Midwest and the nation
experienced a weekend of gala wine tasting
events, wine and spirits seminars, sam-
plings of artisan cheese and gourmet foods,
specialty shopping, and culinary demon-
strations by celebrity chefs. Receiving top
billing for the event were chefs Ilan Hall
and Hung Huynh, winners of seasons two
and three of the hit culinary television
series Top Chef; Gail Simmons, judge and
food critic for Top Chef, as well as expert
with Food & Wine magazine; 2008 Food &
Wine Best New Chef Giuseppe Tentori;
Tony Mantuano, chef and partner of

in Chicago; Bruce Sacino, Executive Chef
at the Augusta National Golf Club;

Andrea Immer Robinson, Master
Sommelier and Dean of Wine Studies at
The French Culinary Institute; Anthony
Giglio, four-time participant wine and
cocktail expert; and Jon Ashton, celebrity
chef and resident chef on CWs The Daily
Buzz.
When the worlds greatest golfers win
the famous Green Jacket at the Masters
Tournament (held annually at Augusta
National Golf Club), Chef Bruce Sacino
serves a meal of their choice. At the
Masters Club Champions Dinner at
Whistling Straits, chef Sacino recreated the
favorite meals of Tiger Woods, Phil
Mickelson, Fred Couples, Jose Maria
Olazabal, Vijay Singh, and Mike Weir.
Three Kohler residents, Hannah Fenton,
(a sophomore at Kohler High), her mother
Krsitine Fenton and Paula Anderson were
among community auction winners to pair
up with six Destination Kohler chefs for
this years Kohler Chefs Challenge. Each
team had 30 minutes to turn surprise ingre-
dients into culinary masterpieces. Ben
Sommerfeldt, Chef for the Wisconsin
Room, along with his team member
Barbara Gruber, were judged the winners of
the Challenge. Jill Lewinski,
Family/Consumer Education teacher at
Kohler Schools served as one of the judges
alongside Chef Ulrich Koberstein,
Executive Chef at the American Club, and
Chef Paul Smitala of Blackwolf Run.
Bruce Sacino, Executive Chef, Augusta National Golf Club, demonstrated Southern Low Country Cuisine during a

New Kohler resident Alvida Groom
traveled with her children to her native
country of Lithuania for an extended visit
with family. She wanted to publically
thank her son Tommys teacher for taking
the time to make sure Tommy completed
his educational requirements while miss-
ing a month of school during his trip.
By Alvida Groom
This past year, I took my children to my
home country of Lithuania. I dont get to
visit often, so when we do visit, we stay for
an extended period of time. During this
last visit we stayed for two months! My
Kindergarten teachers caring
extends across the Atlantic
son, Tommy, was in Mrs. Magles senior
kindergarten class when we left for
Lithuania. He still had a month of school to
complete, but this was our most convenient
travel time. When we approached Mrs.
Magle to discuss options for Tommy during
our trip, she was wonderful!
Mrs. Magle prepared all of the documen-
tation that Tommy would need for complet-
ing senior kindergarten and beginning first
grade. She mailed it all to my home in
Lithuania. More importantly, she kept
Tommy involved in his class by keeping up
with him via computer. Every Wednesday

Tommy got to see pictures and receive notes
though we were in Europe! It was a wonder-
ful taste of home for my young son after
traveling so far from his home in Kohler, and
for such a long time!
Seeing his classmates and hearing from
his teacher made the school year complete
for my son. Thanks to Mrs. Magle for the
extra time and effort she put in. Its teachers
like Mrs. Magle that make Kohler School
special. We were very lucky to have her as
Tommys teacher and we are very thankful for
her caring, thoughtful teaching.

Residents to
motorists:
Please slow
down near
park!
Some concerned Kohler residents are
asking that motorists please watch their
speed on Roosevelt Rd. near the play-
ground, especially during soccer practices.
A slow sign is posted in the area, but
drivers are ignoring the sign even when
children are present.
Teacher of the year, continued from page 1
learning in students, her drive to motivate
others, and her leadership and service with-
in and outside the classroom.
The praise of students is one of the
highest recommendations a teacher can
have, said State Superintendent Elizabeth
Burmaster in congratulating Neurohr for
being named Wisconsins representative to
the national Teacher of the Year program.
Lori Neurohrs second-graders say their
teacher is so creative they sit on the edge of
their seats waiting for her to introduce the
next lesson and that they jump out of bed
each morning because they cant wait to
get to school. They call her the best teacher
in the world.
Creating a learning community that is
similar to family, Neurohr stresses the
importance of individual respect in her
classroom. She specializes in differentiated
instruction to ensure that all her students
are challenged at an appropriate learning
level. The first group of second-graders
that Neurohr taught are now in eighth
grade. Many of those students still come
to my classroom just to say hello and share
about their day, she said.
In addition to the love of her students,
Neurohr is called a gift to the teaching
profession. Aparent cited Neurohrs extra
efforts to ensure the success of every child
in her letter of recommendation. What
Mrs. Neurohr brings to the teaching profes-
sion and the families that are fortunate to
be touched by her abilities, is a gift beyond
measure, the parent wrote.
Neurohr reaches out to other teachers as
a colleague and mentor. I have been
blessed with such good fortune in my life;
I consider it a privilege and duty to give
back whenever I can, she said. Her work
within the district includes mentoring a
new teacher, assisting other teachers with
Orton-Gillingham materials and teaching
techniques, and serving on the early litera-
cy and strategic planning committees. She
holds an after school reading club to pro-
vide extra support for students and is a fre-
quent spectator at community athletic
events and performances as well as a vol-
unteer and fundraiser for special activities.
Lori is incredibly dedicated and giving
of her time, said Karen Ingels of the
Sheboygan Blue Line Association. Her
dedication and passion in everything she
does inspires excellence and challenges
everyone around her to be better at whatev-
er they do.
Neurohr holds a bachelor of arts degree
in elementary education from Lakeland
College in Sheboygan. She earned a mas-
ters degree in reading and language arts
from Cardinal Stritch University in
Milwaukee. Her application materials will
be sent to the national Teacher of the Year
program competition. An announcement is
typically made in spring.
In addition to representing Wisconsin at
the national level, Neurohr will receive a
$6,000 award from the Herb Kohl
Educational Foundation. The foundation,
through the generosity of U.S. Senator Herb
Kohl, provides financial support for the
Teacher of the Year program.
I am pleased to support the Teacher of
the Year program, Senator Kohl said.
Recognizing the efforts of the hard-work-
ing educators who shape and guide the
minds of our young people will help ensure
that caring, quality teachers are educating
tomorrows leaders.
Neurohr, who is Wisconsins Elementary
Teacher of the Year, is one of four educators
chosen to represent Wisconsins PK-12
teaching corps for the 2008-09 school year.

Dear Amy,
A job transfer requires us to put our home
on the market soon...but we dont know what
to do with the Holidays fast approaching!
Should we just wait until Jan? Or , if we list
with you now what do we do about decorating
for our family during the Holidays?
It seems that just before Christmas there is a
flurry of activity regarding house sales. It is one
of those times of the year when people start to
reevaluate what is going on in their lives and when decisions
to make changes are made. One of the most popular ways to
make these changes is to buy a new house.
One of the nicest things about Christmas is the color;
its always so cheery, so use this to your advantage and put
a big colorful wreath on your door. It brightens up the out-
side entry and makes people feel welcome immediately.
Even if you are a big fan of Christmas decorations, this is
not the year to decorate your yard or the outside of the house
elaborately. One thing to remember is that not everyones
taste is the same and you want to appeal to as many buyers
as you can and the best way to do that is to keep it simple.
Besides, it is best to have as many boxes as possible pre-
packed so that your move is smooth and easy as it can be!
As with any other time of the year you want the buyers
eyes to go directly to the features of the house, not to your
personal items. So be sure when decorating that you dont
add to any clutter. If you put up Christmas decorations, take
something else down and then pack it. Again, keep it simple.
Allow lots of room for traffic flow so that people can move
about freely and not think the home is too small for their
needs. Your Christmas tree should be in proportion to your
space, so if the house is very large and open, then a large
tree is perfect, but if your house is smaller and you have lit-
tle room, have a smaller tree. You might even consider a
tabletop version for this year.
These are just a few of the many suggestions I have for
putting your home in the best position to sell during the
Holiday Season. To receive a full copy for free, just contact
me on my web site, WWW.AmyGutschow.com, or CALL
AMY directly at (920) 377-1948. Its always easy to just
Ask Amy
I look forward
to hearing from you!

Two for One: Kohler Foundation Celebrates 65th
Distinguished Guest Series with a Double Feature
KOHLER, WIS. Its not jazz. Its not
country. Its not modern rock. Its all
that . . . and more. An eclectic double
feature and an intermission celebration
kick off the 65th anniversary of the
Kohler Foundations Distinguished
Guest Series on Saturday, October 18.
Act I Chicago Childrens Choir
The night begins at 7 p.m. with the
Chicago Childrens Choir. This group of
8- to 18-year-olds blends voices from
diverse backgrounds to create music that
has touched audiences from Wisconsin to
South Africa.
Theyve performed their musical
repertoire for world leaders, at profes-
sional U.S. sporting events, on network
television, and at prestigious venues like
Carnegie Hall. Now they bring their tal-
ents and musicfrom jazz to the clas-
sicsto the Kohler Memorial Theatre
(230 School St., Kohler).
Act II - Leahy
Headliner Leahy climaxes the
evening with a whirlwind of fiddle-driv-
en music, dance, and vocals. This high-
energy act is comprised of eight brothers
and sisters whose lifelong musical con-
nection is expressed in their original
songs and instrumental precision.
Leahy gained international fame on
tour with country superstarand fellow
CanadianShania Twain and continues
to awe audiences with their blend of
Celtic-, pop-, country- and folk-influ-
enced numbers.
Intermission
This year, the Chicago Childrens
Choir and Leahy become part of a 65-
year tradition of diverse theatrical, musi-
cal, and intellectual performances that
touch the lives of residents of the Village
of Kohler and the surrounding commu-
nity.
It all began in 1944 when the late
Ruth DeYoung Kohler was instrumental
in bringing guest lecturers and musical
attractions to the meetings of the Kohler
Womens Club. Eventually, these after-
noon shows evolved into one of the
longest-running performing arts series
in Wisconsin.
Today, the Kohler Foundation Inc.
continues to bring culture and the arts to
the local community with the
Distinguished Guest Series. To celebrate
the 65-year milestone, attendees to the
Oct. 18 performance will enjoy a party
to remember during intermission, com-
plete with anniversary cake and other
sweet treats, live music, and a few sur-
prises.
Ticket Prices
Tickets for the Chicago Childrens
Choir and Leahy are $49 (A section) or
$39 (B section) (students* $25/$20).

dation.org/tickets or by calling (920)

KOHLER Original
Recipe Chocolate
of the Month:
Pretzel Rods
This month Kohler Original Recipe
Chocolates proudly features the Pretzel
Rod. This pretzel enrobed in buttery
caramel, rolled in roasted pecans then
drizzled with Kohler Original Recipe
milk chocolate is sure to please young
and old alike.
When searching for a perfect treat to
be held in the hand but not melt as it is
being enjoyed, the chocolatiers of Kohler
Original Recipe Chocolates decided this
would be the ultimate answer. The
caramel is made in the European tradition
which means the utmost care is taken to
cook the sugar longer to create a more
pronounced flavor. The pecans are roast-
ed by chocolatiers to ensure each one is
done to the quality standards desired for
the handmade chocolates. The sweet milk
chocolate is then used to hold the pecans
and caramel gently together to create the
perfect flavor balance. This sweet and
salty combination is a dream!
The Pretzel Rod can be found as indi-
viduals for sale on the counter at
Craverie. The two and four piece bags are
also available at Craverie as the perfect
takeaway snack for after school, sports,
or even as your on-the-go dessert. Kohler
Original Recipe Chocolates are available
at Craverie and online at
www.KOHLERchocolates.com.

NOVEMBER 2008 EDITION
Produced and published by the School District of Kohler with the cooperation of staff, community members, and the Village of Kohler
Excellent progress is being made on the Ebben Field
track project. The old track has been successfully pulver-
ized, with the latent material scheduled for removal in the
coming days. Drainage and storm sewer work will also
be completed by October 24. This will allow for the base
(binder) layer of asphalt for the new track to be put down
during the first week of November. As such, we antici-
pate running a complete track season in spring. Good
news indeed!
As always, we ask that community members be mind-
ful of construction traffic and other potential hazards
associated with a major construction project. Lastly, the
board of Education would like to again thank the mem-
bers of the Ebben Field Track Task Force for volunteering
their time and expertise to this project. The diligence and
dedication of this group has allowed the Kohler Public
Schools to move expeditiously in an effort to maintain the
continuity of athletic programs associated with Ebben
Field.
The Task Force members are: Doug Bocchini, Jay
Hoekstra, Bob Kobylski, Tom Leonhardt, Becky Luedke,
Bruce Neerhof, Jim ODonnell and Tom Schnettler.

Multi-Media
Motivational
Presentation at Kohler
Middle and High School
On Friday, November 7, 2008 the students in grades
7 through 12 will be presented with a multi-media 3-
screen motivational presentation in the Kohler Memorial
Theatre at 8:50 A.M. Motivational Productions, a non-
profit educational company, will present Fearless.
Mark Letts from Motivational Productions states,
Motivational Productions new media experience
FEARLESS will make students think twice about their
actions and learn whats really worth fearing. We will
explore the different kinds of fear, as well as learn how
to live with it in a healthy way. He goes on to add that
HEALTHY fears can prevent us from getting involved
with dangerous situations, like drug abuse or reckless
behavior, which can destroy our lives and the lives of
others. UNHEALTHY fears fill us with anxiety and
hold us back from pursuing our goals and aspirations.
Students will learn positive ways to COPE with this
inevitable feeling, as opposed to the negative ways such
as using drugs, bullying, or avoidance."
The presentation will feature real-life examples of
what can happen when teens disregard their own
instincts. True and inspiring stories of how young adults
faced life with courage and overcoming obstacles rang-
ing from reckless driving to using eating as a coping
mechanism to drug abuse will be featured.
In addition, clips from the latest Hollywood films
and a blazing soundtrack of todays popular music will
be featured.
Motivational Productions provides another tool for
learning through sight, sound, and thought provoking
stories. Students who have seen these presentations find
them to be not only entertaining but very thought pro-
voking and educational.

Children with disabilities procedure
The school district must locate, identify, and evaluate all children with disabilities, includ-
ing children with disabilities attending private schools in the school district, regardless of
the severity of their disabilities. The school district has a special education screening
program to evaluate all children with suspected disabilities and are at least three years
old. Upon request, the school district will screen a child who has not graduated high
school to determine whether a special education referral is appropriate. A request may
be made by contacting Tamra O'Keefe, Special Education Director at 459-2920 x1200.
Its fall, and our kids are back to school. This exciting
time of year also brings more risk for our children as they
travel to and from school. Here are some ways to keep
them safe.
Pedestrian Safety
The facts: In 2006, almost 400 pedestrians under age 16
were killed by motor vehicles; 39% of these deaths
occurred in the hours after school. An addi-
tional 13,000 children were injured by motor
vehicles. Why are kids at increased risk
for pedestrian injuries? Children are short
and therefore are difficult to see by
motorists, they have underdeveloped
peripheral vision making it harder for them
to see everything around them, they have trouble judging
a cars speed and distance from them, and they often
believe cars can stop instantly like they can.
Safety tips for parents and children walking to school:
Always cross at the crosswalk, if available. Cross with
a crossing guard if there is one.
Stop at the curb before crossing. Look left, then right,
then left again for traffic in all directions. If you see a
car, wait until it goes by. Then look left right left
again.
When no cars are coming, walk do not run across
the road. Keep looking for cars as you are crossing.
At traffic intersections, wait until the WALK sign is lit
before crossing, but only after looking left right
left.
Walk on the sidewalk if there is one. If there is no side-
walk and you have to walk on the road, walk facing
traffic so you can see whats coming.
For parents, double check if a child is behind you or
running toward you while you are backing up in your
car.
Biking to School Safely: Wear a Bike Helmet!
The facts: Each year, head injuries in kids cause 37,000
hospitalizations and 2,685 deaths. Almost
400,000 kids under 15 years old are
treated in Emergency Rooms for bike-
related injuries per year in the United
States. Such data are proof that car driv-
ers have difficulty seeing bike riders in
traffic. Wearing a helmet while biking has been shown to
prevent up to 88% of serious brain injuries in bike crash-
es; in fact, in areas where a law requires helmet use, bike-
related injuries and deaths have decreased significantly.
Helmet Safety Tips for Children and Parents:
Always wear a helmet when using anything with
wheels to get to school (bicycles, rollerblades, skate-
boards, scooters, or heelies).
Always buckle your helmet when wearing it.
Make sure your helmet fits properly. Helmets should
be stable, level, and snughave the helmet comfort-
ably touch the head all the way around, make sure it
doesnt move much with shaking the head, and have it
sit as low on your head as possible for maximum cov-
erage.
If you fall and hit your head with a helmet on, make
sure to replace the helmet immediatelymost helmets
are only approved for a single impact before they need
to be replaced.
Also replace your helmet if the buckle or straps break,
or if the helmet is older than 5 years.
Parents, you can help your child think their helmet is
cool by letting them choose the style and colorjust
make sure the helmet is approved by the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC, look for a label
on the helmet before purchase).
Model good helmet behavior for your kidsalways
wear your own helmet when riding bikes with your
kids, and encourage your childs peers to wear their
helmets.
Other activities require specialized helmets, including
skiing, snowboarding, sledding, horseback riding,
hockey, football, baseball, ATV riding, motocrossing,
moped riding, go-karting, snowmobiling, and ice skat-
ing. Bike helmets do not provide sufficient head pro-
tection for these activities.
School Bus Safety
The facts: By all measures, school buses are the safest
motor vehicles on the highwaysthey are 70 times safer
than cars and other vehicles. Every year in the U.S. about
440,000 public school busses travel over 4 billion miles
and daily transport 24 million children to and from school
and school-related activities. Even with those numbers,
on the average only 5 U.S. children are killed per year in
school bus crashes. However, between 1996 & 2006, 159
school-age pedestrians were killed while getting on or off
school busses, 73% of whom were struck by the bus &
28% by another vehicle. Half of these pedestrian fatalities
were children ages 5-7.
School Bus Safety for Students:
Stand at least 10 feet from the edge of the road.
Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver
says its OK before getting on the bus.
Be careful your backpack or clothing doesnt get
caught on the bus as you step off.
If you need to cross the street after getting off the bus,
always cross in front of the bus. Be sure the driver can
see you. Stop at the edge of the bus and look left
right left before crossing.
When on the bus, always sit fully in the seat and face
forward. Never stand on a moving bus.
Speak in a low voice, obey the driver, and never dis-
tract the driver.
Never stick anything out the window arm, leg, head,
backpack, etc.
School Bus Safety for Motorists:
Be awareit is illegal to pass a school bus stopped to
load or unload students.
Slow downwatch for children at crosswalks, in the
streets if there are no sidewalks, and at bus stops.
Be alertchildren arriving late for the bus may dart
into the street without looking for traffic.

Academy of Pediatrics, September 2008.

Back to School Safely!
EMERGENCY OR INCLEMENT WEATHER
CLOSING PROCEDURES
As we begin another year, it is once again time to review the procedures for school closings due to inclement weather.
As in the past, we ask parents to discuss this issue with their children NOW- before the actual emergency occurs. If
you are generally not home during the day, be sure your child knows NOWwhere they are to go if school closed early
(Will they go home with a classmate? Older sibling? A relative? Have you made prior arrangements with this individual to
be on stand by for these occasions?) In emergency closing situations, forty or fifty children wanting to call home/work to
find out where to go, seriously delays the entire closing process. Please make sure your arrangements in advance and be
sure your child is fully aware of what to do.
Any decision to close schools for all or any portion of a school day will be made as early as possible 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 stations:
WHBL (1330 AM), WXER (104.5 OR 96.1 FM ), WSTM (91.3 FM) The Breeze, WLKN (98.1)
WTMJ - Channel 4, WFRV - Channel 5, WISN - Channel 12, NBC 26 - Channel 26, WLUK -Channel 11, WITI - Channel
6, WBAY-TV/DT 2 - Channel 2.

Counselors Corner
I am pleased to report that our 1
st
ever College Prep Day here at Kohler on October 15
th
was a huge success. The
students reported that testing in classrooms and having their instructors proctor the exams was really helpful. The
seniors also reported that the college preparatory sectionals were very helpful, especially the sectional on resumes
and interviewing. I am looking forward to when the testing results arrive and will make arrangements for distribution
of those results to students and parents. Our seniors have been very busy completing college applications and we
have been working to overcome the challenges of the new on-line Common Application. I am happy to share that a
number of our students have already received acceptance letters and scholarship award letters.
Our Elementary Students have been working on our 2
nd
Unit: Growing as a Group which dealt with using interper-
sonal skills in relating to others. We are moving on to our 3
rd
Unit: Making Positive Decisions which will focus on
learning how to make positive and responsible decisions and saying No to harmful ones. Hopefully, by now all par-
ents have seen one of the students Together Times Booklets or for parents of 6
th
graders their Changes and
Challenges book. We are having fun learning together and the students are such enthusiastic learners. As parents
feel free to stop by my office, call (459-2921 ext. 1301) or send an e-mail (multerl@kohler.k12.wi.us) if you have any
questions or concerns regarding your child(ren).

ONGOING SCHOOL
POLICIES
No Latex Balloons
Latex balloons cannot be brought into the building
because of students with severe latex allergies. Mylar bal-
loons are the safe alternative.
No Animals on School Grounds
It is Kohler School Districts policy that no animals are
allowed on school grounds. Dogs and cats must be on
leashes and on sidewalks when near the school. If a stu-
dent or parent would like to bring a pet to school, he/she
must receive permission from the Principal in advance.
This policy is in effect for the safety of our students.
Tardy? Absent? Parents, please call the office
In the event that your child will not be attending school or
will be tardy, please call the attendance voice mailbox and
let the office know the reason for the childs absence/tardi-
ness. You can reach the Attendance voice mailbox by dial-
ing 459-2920 Ext. 5.
When it comes to hydrating kids, particularly those
who play sports, there's a dizzying array of sodas, juices,
tea and coffee drinks, and bottled waters to choose from.
And there's another category of beverages that's causing
a buzz: power drinks.
Power drinks can include anything from sports bever-
ages to vitamin waters to "high-energy" supplement
drinks. What they all have in common is added ingredi-
ents that say they "do" something extra, whether it's
increase energy and alertness, boost nutrition, or even
enhance athletic performance. But are they right for your
child?
Evaluating the Choices
Everyone needs to stay hydrated to stay healthy, and
you can't go wrong giving your child plain water. But what
about when your child plays sports? Does he or she need
something extra to avoid dehydration?
Not necessarily. The average child athlete can and
should get all the necessary nutrients and hydration by
eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of
water before, during, and after exercise.
During games and competitive events,
drinks should be available at all times and
regular water breaks should be scheduled
about every 15 or 20 minutes. The
amount of water an athlete needs can
vary depending on the child's age, weight,
intensity of the activity, and weather con-
ditions.
Soda is not recommended for hydration during sports
and should be avoided because it contains excess sugar,
which can lead to weight gain. What's more, the carbon-
ation can upset your child's stomach. Soda also often
contains caffeine, which acts as a diuretic (something
that causes frequent urination) and may promote rather
then prevent dehydration.
As for the other choices on the market today, here's a
closer look at the ingredients they contain and how they
measure up:
Sports drinks. Sports drinks may be beneficial if your
child participates in endurance sports that last longer
than an hour (such as long-distance running and biking,
or high-intensity exercise such as soccer, basketball, or
hockey). These drinks contain carbohydrates (sugar),
which can provide an immediate source of energy at a
time when the body's stores are becoming depleted.
Sports drinks also contain electrolytes like sodium and
potassium, which the body loses through sweat, that are
necessary to keep the body's fluid levels in balance and
for muscles to work properly.
Sports drinks are sweet, which may aid hydration in
kids who otherwise wouldn't drink during periods of
intense activity. Of course, these drinks contain calories,
too, and can increase the risk of excess weight gain - if
your child is active and drinks these in moderation, this
shouldn't be a problem. However, sports drinks are not
necessary for the casual athlete. If your sedentary child is
a fan of sports beverages, consider sidelining these
drinks in favor of plain water.
Vitamin waters. These drinks, which are also known as
fitness waters or enhanced waters, come in many flavors
and contain various combinations of supplemental vita-
mins and minerals. They also often contain extra calories,
artificial sweeteners, caffeine, or herbal ingredients

whose effects have not been studied in children (such as
ginseng or St. John's wort).
Vitamin waters may look like a quick way to fill any nutri-
tion gaps in your child's diet, but these nutrients can come
from a healthy meal or snack, too. Also, they can provide
too much of a good thing, particularly if your child already
takes a daily multivitamin. Getting more than the recom-
mended daily allowance of some vitamins and minerals can
be harmful to a child's health. Keep in mind that the daily
allowances listed on the label are recommendations for
adults, not kids.
The best place for your child to get daily nutrients is from
balanced meals. If you're concerned that your child isn't get-
ting enough, talk to your child's doctor, who may recom-
mend a daily multivitamin formulated for kids.
Energy drinks. These are becoming increasingly popular
with middle- and high-school students who are looking for a
competitive edge. And while some energy drinks are clear-
ly labeled as unsuitable for children, others are specifically
marketed to kids as young as 4, promising
boosts in energy and nutrition as well as
enhanced athletic performance.
Most energy drinks deliver a stiff dose of
sugar and caffeine - sometimes as much caf-
feine as in 1 to 3 cups of coffee. Too much
sugar can put your child in the fast lane to the
dentist's office and also contribute to weight
gain. Excessive caffeine comes with its own
set of problemsespecially in younger kids, it
can negatively affect attention and concentration.
Few studies have examined the effect of caffeine on chil-
dren, but consider how you feel when you've had too much.
Caffeine is indeed a stimulantthough a widely used and
accepted oneand because children are smaller than adults
and haven't yet developed a tolerance to it, its effects on
them may be more pronounced. As in adults, too much caf-
feine can cause:
jitteriness and nervousness
upset stomach
headaches
difficulty concentrating
difficulty sleeping
frequent urination
Many of these drinks also contain additional ingredients
whose safety or effectiveness has never been tested in chil-
drenincluding herbal supplements, guarana (a source of
caffeine), and taurine (an amino acid thought to enhance
performance).
The bottom line is this: Energy drinks offer no real health
or performance benefit for kids. Children who participate in
sports should learn that they can improve their game
through hard work and practicevalues that will serve them
well both on and off the field.
Be critical when reading labels, and talk to your child's
doctor if you have any questions or concerns. And teach
your child not to be so quick to believe the hype when it
comes to power drinks. For athletes and non-athletes alike,
nothing beats a well-balanced diet. Most kids who eat well,
stay hydrated, and get enough physical activity and rest will
have plenty of energynaturally.

Kohler School Foundations Fall Follies 2008
raised over $40,000 for Kohler School!
There were Hats, Haystacks, Buckles and Boots
along with Fun and Fellowship felt by many who
attended the Fall Follies fundraising event held at the
Kohler Stables on October 10, 2008. There was a
tremendous sense of community with well over 300
people in attendance, phenomenal community sup-
port by our residents and businesses who donated
goods for auction and supported the event through
corporate sponsorship.
There was an electrifying, albeit brief, perform-
ance by the Kohler Blue Bomber Drum Line to kick off
the evening's festivities. Chef Ted from Kohler
School managed beautifully the vittles: pulled pork
sandwiches, baked beans, coleslaw and more. Kohler
Schools home education department, led by Jill
Lewinski made delicious pies that were sold at the
event. Close to 50 Kohler School Faculty volunteered
their energy and enthusiasm to help make the event a
success. Fly swatters were used for biddin' and raisin'
$20,000 in the live auction as auctioneer Daven
Claerbout auctioned off items as exciting as a week's
stay at a condo in Telluride (Donated by Joe and Jill
Wolf) and Dinner for 10 at River Wildlife (donated by
the Kohler Co.). Attendees kicked up their heels and
a little stable dust line-dancing and otherwise having
a good time as there was much to celebrate; a com-
munity that values and supports education, each
other and the high standards we set to distinguish
our community as a truly special place.
The Kohler School Foundation has two major
streams or categories of funds: the Annual Fund,
which Fall Follies supports and is directed to meet
the immediate needs of the school the following aca-
demic school year; and the Kohler Visionary Society
Endowment Fund, which has been established to
support the school long-term. If you would like more
information on how you can support the Kohler
School Foundation, please contact the Kohler
School Foundation at 333 Upper Road, Kohler, WI
53044.
We extend heartfelt appreciation to the following individuals and businesses for their generous support of the Kohler School Foundation. We have tried our very best to list every contributor to Fall
Follies, and as you can see, there are a wonderous many. In the event we inadvertently left anyone off of the list, we sincerely apologize in advance for our oversight. Our hope is that our community will
patronize these businesses that so generously support Kohler School.

be obtained from the police department just
by stopping in. For those who have already
obtained one in 2008, another can be
obtained starting in 2009. In addition to the
Masterlock trigger locks provided by the
Kohler Police Department, a federal pro-
gram, Project Childsafe, continues to have
locks available at the police department,
while supplies last. These locks are the
cable lock variety and anyone may request
up to three of those for their guns too.

NOVEMBER FEATURED EVENT

inviting setting for The Greenhouses tempting

Yoga On The Lake is now open for yoga
and exercise enthusiasts at the Shops at
Woodlake offering a comprehensive lineup of
classes and events.
Feel relaxed and focused at the spacious
new studio-style space overlooking peaceful
Wood Lake. The space is dedicated primarily
to yoga with complementing workshops and
specialty classes for people of all ages from
youths to families to senior citizens.
The new yoga studio was a logical progres-
sion for Destination Kohler and The Shops at
Woodlake, according to Pam LaBouve, Yoga
On The Lake coordinator. It makes sense with
the continued interest in yoga and that we bring
this venue into the heart of the Village of
Kohler, she said. It offers a serene environ-
ment to experience and enjoy the expertise of
qualified instructors.
Yoga On The Lake will offer classes seven
days a week on a drop-in basis as well as
mind/body classes and workshops, which will
require registration. There will be a vast assort-
ment of classes taught by highly qualified
instructors with expertise in Baptiste Power
Vinyasa Yoga, Therapeutic Yoga, Meditation,
Restorative, and more.
Night and weekend series classes will pres-
ent something for everyone with such offerings
as Tai Chi, NIA, belly dancing, kid/youth/teen
yoga. Workshops will include all-day yoga
boot camps, celebrity yoga instructor work-
shops, yoga for athletes, partner yoga, Thai
yoga massage, and more.
The new venue will feature an upscale bou-
tique with yoga and mind body and wellness-
inspired clothing, accessories, DVDs, and other
merchandise.
Another element of Yoga On The Lake is an
energy efficient-heated floor for a comfortable,
even temperature. This is a great asset and will
feel especially welcoming and relaxing in poses
such as shavasana (corpse pose), LaBouve
said. The floor presented an eco-friendly chal-
lenge. Rather than breaking up the existing con-
crete floor and hauling the refuse to a landfill,
the heating components and flooring were
installed over the concrete.
Pricing for Yoga On The Lake is as follows:
Single Class: $10
Packages: 5 Classes $45, 10 Classes $80, 20
Classes $140
Monthly Unlimited: $95 for Sports Core
Members Only
Yoga Mat Rental: $2.00
Private Session: $75.00
