Calling all women for a weekend
of health, wellness and balance
Dr. Laura Berman of the new Oprah Winfrey Network headlines
Womens Weekend of Wellness at The American Club Resort
Most women pack their sched-
ules nearly every minute of the
day, but neglect to schedule time to
focus on themselves or their health.
Womens Weekend of Wellness,
presented by The American Club
Resort and Step Up for Womens
Network, provides an invigorating
opportunity for women to do just
that. Taking place March 4-6 here
in Kohler and headlined by world-
renowned sex educator, researcher
and therapist, Dr. Laura Berman of
the new Oprah Winfrey Network,
the two-night energizing escape fo-
cuses on ways women can incorpo-
rate healthy lifestyle habits, con-
quer stress and find that much
needed balance in life.
We recognize the stress facing
women today. Often our own well-
ness takes a backseat, explains
Jean Kolb, Director of Wellness
Businesses for Kohler Co.
Womens Weekend of Wellness
provides women the opportunity to
learn and focus on oneself. We
hope women walk away from this
weekend knowing themselves just
a little bit better,
and feeling em-
powered to live the
life they were
meant to live. Fo-
cusing on ones
own wellness is
the best gift you
can give yourself
and those around
you. It is critical to
a balanced and
happy life.
The weekend
escape includes a
healthy dose of
yoga, inspiring speakers, great
food and much-needed rest and re-
laxation. To kick-off the weekend,
guests are invited to a welcome re-
ception, featuring appetizers and
wine pairings. Later that evening,
the SpaNight Delight at Kohler
Waters Spa, sponsored by Skin Au-
thority Skincare, offers guests ex-
clusive access to the Kohler Waters
Spa and its relaxation pool with
waterfall, lounge areas, plunge
pool, steam room and sauna, glass-
enclosed rooftop
deck with
whirlpool and 16-
foot fireplace.
Dr. Berman will
host a dinner and
lecture Saturday
night. A New York
Times best-selling
author and a Sirius
XM radio host, Dr.
Berman recently
launched In the
Bedroom with Dr.
Laura Berman on
the new Oprah
Winfrey Network. Additional spe-
cial guest speakers include Eliza-
beth Ruske and Betsy C. Sobiech,
Managing Partners of Tiara Inter-
national - a global women's devel-
opment and coaching firm with of-
fices in Chicago, Illinois and The
Netherlands, and Kohlers own Di-

Interim Village Board
President John Egan
not seeking re-election
Nomination papers for the 2011
spring elections have been filed
and interim President John Egan
will not seek re-election for the
board. Egan said, It was a difficult
decision. I am certain that I will
miss serving on the board, but am
confident those who are running
will continue to be a positive force
and serve the community well.
Egan, who has served on the Vil-
lage Board since 2003, was ap-
pointed to be interim president
after the untimely death last August
of then-president Steve Rein-
bacher. Egans appointment left a
vacancy on the board for which
eight Kohler residents applied.
Four out of six board members
chose long-time resident Tom
Schnettler to fill the trustee posi-
tion.
Schnettlers name will be on the
spring ballot for Village President,
a position hes held in the past
along with a number of other posi-
tions and appointments in the vil-
lage.
Four candidates will face off for
three trustee positions. Incumbents
Brian Post and Tom Gast will be
challenged by Bill Kunst, a past
trustee, and Dietmar Wohlgemuth,
Jr., current president of the Kohler
Fire Department.
The spring election will take
place on Tuesday, April 5 at the
Kohler Village Hall from 7 a.m. to
8 p.m.
Dont forget to
vote in February
primary
Voters will take to the polls on
Tuesday, February 15 for a primary
election to decide who will be the
Sheboygan County Circuit Court,
Branch III judge for the next six
years.
Incumbent Angela Sutkiewicz
was appointed to the position six
months ago by the governor, and
will be challenged by Sheboygan
County Assistant District Attorney
James A. Haasch, and Sheboy-
gan/Kohler Municipal Court Judge
(and Kohler resident) Catherine
Delahunt. The top two finishers
will advance to the April 5 general
election.

candidate, visit their websites at:

Greetings,
The thoughts
of Spring, 2011
can be laid to
rest for a while.
With the longer
days and
shorter nights,
there is the
hope springs eternal that spring
is still out there somewhere. With
the recent snowfalls and freezing
temperatures, the Department of
Public Works has responded well
with the clearing of snow and ice.
Special thanks are extended to
Bruce Neerhof, DPW Superinten-
dent, and his staff: David Buhler,
Chuck Keller, Mike Kitzerow,
Matt Magle and Pete Weber.
The Recreation Department Ad-
Hoc Committee, responsible for
conducting an evaluation of the
structure of the Recreation Depart-
ment, has held two meetings to
date. Chairperson Brian Post and
the five Committee members are
seriously addressing the itemized
directives from the Village Board.
Mary Bogard, Ad-Hoc Committee
member, resigned from her posi-
tion recently. Douglas Bocchini ac-
cepted the open position and was
approved by the Board on January
10, 2011. Sincere thanks to Mary
and welcome to Doug.
It has come to the Village
Boards attention that there is some
concern regarding the recreational
programs for the 2011 season.
John Pethan, Recreation Depart-
ment Chairperson, is working with
the Recreation Department Super-
visor, Susie Wandschneider, in the
planning of programs for this up-
coming season. The Village resi-
dents can fully expect that the
spring/summer programs will con-
tinue as usual.
With the doldrums of winter,
there is no need to stay locked up
inside your homes. The Kohler Vil-
lage offers several opportunities
for social events. On January 30th,
St. John Evangelist Parish held
their annual Winterfest. On Febru-
ary 20th, the Kohler Police Athletic
Association will be sponsoring
their annual brat fry. The profits
from that fundraiser and bingo are
used to help sponsor the athletic
programs for the Village Recre-
ation Department and the Kohler
School District. Tickets are avail-
able at the event, but can be pur-
chased in advance from any KPAL
member. For further information,
please call the Village Clerks Of-
fice (920-459-3873) or Bob Hiers,
President, (467-6673). On average,
the KPAL donates over $13,000
annually to the community for ath-
letic activities. Michael Lindstrom,
Chief of the Kohler Fire Depart-
From the Village Board President . . .

ment, is busy planning the KFD
brat fry for later this spring. The
Kohler Co. offers many winter op-
portunities for events at the Kohler
Memorial Theatre, the Woodlake
Market Area, the American Club,
and Blackwolf Run. These events
are advertised elsewhere in The
Kohl er Vi l l ager. Or, bundle up and
take a walk around the Village!!!
As integral as sports are for any
community, clubs and other organ-
izations are equally important.
Several months ago the Kohler
Civic Club was formed by a num-
ber of former Kohler Kiwanians.
The club has continued many of
the projects handled by the Kiwa-
nis Club for the past 25 years. As
a non-profit organization, they
plan to provide support for many
activities in the Village of Kohler
and the surrounding area. With the
ongoing project of the annual Vil-
lage of Kohler Directory, another
project in the development stage is
that of a Veterans Memorial at
Kohler Cemetery. More informa-
tion will be forthcoming as that
project gradually becomes a real-
ity. The Kohler Civic Club cur-
rently meets at the Blackwolf Run
Restaurant on an intermittent
basis. The officers are: President,
Richard Balge; Vice-President,
Bill Grienke; Treasurer, Tom
Schroeder; and Secretary, Donna
Krueger. Please contact Richard
Balge (920-694-1918), if you are
interested in becoming a member.
As all of us look forward to an
early spring, there is the reminder
that many sources feed into the
pollution of the Sheboygan River.
At the January 10th Village Board
meeting, approval was granted for
purchasing a Johnson demo model
high efficiency vacuum street
sweeper from Allianz Madvac, at
a cost of $153,050. The DNR
awarded the Village a $40,000
grant to assist with the payment of
the sweeper. As one of the govern-
mental agencies that is responsible
for polluting the Sheboygan River
Basin, there is the requirement to
reduce the suspended solids in the
basin by 40% by 2013. The per-
centage was determined by
SLAMM (Source Loading and
Management Analysis Model).
The Villages responsibility will be
achieved by the retrofitting of the
Kohler Co. District Center pond
from a dry pond to a wet pond in
combination with the high effi-
ciency sweeper.
Enjoy month #2 of WIs Winter!!!
Best of wishes
John Egan,
Interim Village President

SCCA Runoffs To
Remain At Road
America Through 2013
TOPEKA, Kan. (January 18,
2011) Sports Car Club of Amer-
ica, Inc., announced today that the
SCCA National Championship
Runoffs will remain at Road
America, in Elkhart Lake, Wis.,
through the 2013 event.
The 48th edition of the event,
which crowns National Champi-
ons in SCCA Club Racings 28
National classes, will be held Sept.
19-25, 2011.
The extension to the existing
deal, originally a three-year agree-
ment through 2011, assures that
the premier event for amateur road
racers in North America will re-
main in Wisconsin through the
events historic 50th running.
Feedback from competitors
and our members indicated that we
should extend our relationship
with Road America, but the reality
is, assuring that the 50th Runoffs
is at a track with an equal amount
of history and significance is a nat-
ural fit, SCCA President & CEO
Jeff Dahnert said. The 2013 event
will be a historic milestone for
both the Runoffs and Road Amer-
ica, and were looking forward to
sharing it, and the next three
Runoffs, with them.
More than 600 competitors par-
ticipated in 28 classes at the 2010
National Championship Runoffs,
which included four days of qual-
ifying and three days of races. In-
cluding the 500 volunteer workers
that operate the week-long event,
the Runoffs serves as the center of
the road racing world during that
period.
We've seen some of our sea-
son's finest, most competitive rac-
ing action during the Runoffs,
George Bruggenthies, Road Amer-
ica President, said. The extension
through 2013, including the 50th
anniversary, is a great compliment
to our organization. We will work
closely with the SCCA to plan a
celebration that fits the incredible
spirit and passion behind SCCA
Club Racing.
The SCCA National Champi-
onship Runoffs moved to Road
America in 2009, following three
years of racing at Heartland Park
Topeka. Mid-Ohio Sports Car
Course (1994-2005) and Road At-
lanta (1970-1993) previously
hosted the event that alternated in
its early years between Riverside
International Raceway (1964,
1966, and 1968) and Daytona In-
ternational Speedway (1965, 1967,
and 1969).
Dahnert noted that the SCCA
Board of Directors intends to initi-
ate a selection process for the
events location following 2013.
That process would likely start in
2012.

Runoffs is available at

Local American Family Insurance Agent
(Sue Breitbach Fenn) earns Distinguished
Insurance Agency distinction from J.D.
Power and Associates
Madison, Wis. (January 3, 2011)
Sue Breitbach Fenn, an American
Family Insurance agent in Sheboy-
gan, WI, has been recognized for
customer satisfaction excellence
under the J.D. Power and Associ-
ates Distinguished Insurance
Agency Program.SM (Breitbach
Fenn) joins other American Family
agents who have demonstrated the
highest level of commitment to
outstanding customer service.
Breitbach Fenn has been an
agent for American Family since
January, 1994. Her office is located
at 3626 Erie Ave. Sheboygan, WI
53081.
Customer service is more im-
portant than ever, said Jack
Salzwedel, American Family pres-
ident and chief operating officer.
Im proud that more American
Family Insurance agents made the
commitment to meeting the Distin-
guished Insur-
ance Agency
criteria this year
than in any of
the programs
previous five
years. Thats
truly saying
something about their commitment
to meeting our customers needs.
The service excellence distinc-
tion was determined through a
two-part evaluation process con-
ducted by J.D. Power and Associ-
ates. The first part consists of a
customer satisfaction survey,
which measures customers overall
experience with their current
American Family agent. In order
to proceed to the second step,
agents must meet or exceed the
standards measured on a national
benchmark established by J.D.
Power and Associates annual auto
and home insurance customer sat-
isfaction studies. Only agencies
that perform in the top 20 percent
of all agencies nationwide based
on customer satisfaction surveys
are eligible to become a Distin-
guished Insurance Agency.
Agents who meet or surpass the
overall national average must then
pass a rigorous on-site evaluation
based on five best practice areas:
proactive reviews of customer in-
surance needs, claims handling,
positive customer contacts, re-
sponsiveness and office environ-
ment.

Neil Simons FOOLS
Opens March 3rd
KHS Produces Comic Fairytale
Playwright Neil Simon de-
scribes his play FOOLS as a
comic fable. KHS actors and ac-
tresses in the cast have been en-
joying Simons silliness since be-
ginning rehearsals in January.
FOOLS tells the story of Leon
Tolchinsky (Sterling Rick-
abaugh), an enthusiastic new
school teacher, who comes to the
small Ukranian village of Ko-
lenchnikov. It doesnt take long
for him to learn that the entire vil-
lage is cursed with stupidity.
When he falls in love with Sophia
(Brenna Hogan, Kitty ONeill),
the beautiful but dull daughter of
the town doctor, he decides to do
his best to break the curse. His
task is made more difficult by
Sophias other suitor, Count Gre-
gor (Andrew Grose).
The play is fun for all ages,
said director Peggy Hoffmann.
Well be doing the production
in our black box theatre, where
the audience sits on the stage
with the players. The audience
will have a close-up theatre expe-
rience and it gives the cast a
chance to interact with the audi-
ence. Colorful costumes and a
unique set also add to the fairy-
tale feel of the play.
Also included in the cast are
Katie Anderson and Rachel O-
Keefe (Lenya), Zach Neil and
Ray Venn (Doctor), Sarah Leick
and Annabelle Goese (Snetsky),
Jessie Dyksterhouse and
Kayleigh Zittel (Slovitch),
Brooke Dietrich and Morgan
Fenton (Mishkin), Grace Lofgren
and Courtney Rutten (Yenchna),
Sam Dedek and Madeline Kelly
(Bubka), and Sam Schmitt and
Nick Scheppmann (Magistrate).
Advance tickets are strongly
recommended as the audience
only holds 90 people. Tickets are
$5.00 in advance and $7.00 at the
door and available in the school
office. Show times are 7 pm on
March 3, 4, and 5 and 2 pm on
Sunday, March 6. Some parts of
the play are double cast and a cast
list for each performance is avail-
able in the school office. For
more information about the pro-
duction, call Peggy Hoffmann at
208-8111.

Kohler Co. announces
plans for Hamilton
Grand golfs most
coveted address
Introducing Hamilton Grand, St.
Andrews the launch of luxury
apartments with a Grand Address
KOHLER, Wisconsin January 18,
2011 Kohler Co. announced official
development plans for Hamilton
Grand, one of golfs most pho-
tographed and iconic buildings. Lo-
cated adjacent to the Royal & Ancient
Golf Club in St. Andrews, Scotland,
Hamilton Grand overlooks the 18th
Green of the Old Course, The West
Sands Beach and the Bay of St. An-
drews. Encompassing 26 luxury resi-
dences, Hamilton Grand will become
the fourth historic property restored
and renovated by Kohler Co.
Kohler Co., through its subsidiary,
The Old Course Limited, purchased
Hamilton Grand in late 2009. In con-
junction with the Kingdom of Fife,
Kohler Co. held a two-day public con-
sultation and welcomed St. Andrews
citizens to learn more about the plans
and to provide feedback for restoring
the building to its former glory. The
meetings were met with overwhelming
support, underscoring the fact that
Kohler Co. is sensitively developing
one of the towns most famous land-
marks.
With thorough input from the
townspeople and the Fife Council,
Kohler Co.s first step was to officially
change the name to Hamilton Grand,
combining the titles of the buildings
previous uses, the Grand Hotel, which
opened in 1895, and Hamilton Hall, the
University of St Andrews dormitory
named after its Founder Thomas
Hamilton.
Our goal is to restore Hamilton
Grand and create a dwelling that will
make the people of St. Andrews
proud, said Debbie Taylor, President
Hospitality and Real Estate Group,
Kohler Co. We have been honored to
work with community members
throughout this process. With their sup-
port, we are pleased to unveil our plans
to the rest of the world.
Hamilton Grand will offer a total of
26 private residences ranging from
two-, three- and four-bedroom apart-
ments, including a penthouse with ex-
pansive 360-degree views and a private
balcony. Residents will experience
award-winning hospitality with butler
service, valet parking and a golf
concierge. Hamilton Grand will also
feature a Grill Restaurant and Bar,
open to the public, and a Members Li-
brary on the ground floor. For an added
premium, a private chef and sommelier
is available to cook in the comfort of
residents apartments. Residents will
have exclusive membership of The
Dukes Course, Kohler Waters Spa and
all the amenities of the Old Course
Hotel including 4 distinct dining expe-
riences.
Featuring unparalleled views of the
Old Course, The West Sands Beach
and the Bay of St. Andrews, the resi-
dences are available unfurnished or
fully furnished with handcrafted furni-
ture from Baker, a Kohler-owned com-
pany. Signature KOHLER plumbing
products will be included in each resi-
dence.
Hamilton Grand will be a unique
real estate opportunity for those who
want to own a home in the birthplace
of golf and a premier destination that
is rich in history the holy grail of
golf, said Taylor. We are looking for-
ward to restoring the building using
our restoration expertise, and returning
a piece of Scottish history to its land-
mark status.
Included in Kohlers renovation
profile is The American Club in
Kohler, Wisconsin, which opened in
1918 as a dormitory for immigrant fac-
tory workers. The property was re-
stored and reopened as a resort hotel in
1981, and today stands as the Mid-
wests only AAA Five Diamond Resort
Hotel, recognition it has earned for 25
consecutive years. The American Club
is included on a list of Historic Hotels
of America by the National Trust for
Historic Preservation.
The company also restored River-
bend, an estate home constructed in
1923 by Walter J. Kohler, then Gover-
nor of Wisconsin and President of
Kohler Co. It was considered one of
the 40 great mansions of North Amer-
ica. In 2001, Kohler Co. refurbished
the estate and re-opened it with 31
rooms and its own spa as an exclusive
private membership club.

A look back: Kohler HS basketball teams
have made eight trips to Madison
By guest writer Bruce Erickson
One of the most exciting times
for a community and school is
when their basketball team quali-
fies for the State Basketball Tour-
nament in Madison. Kohler High
School has done it eight times-
seven for the boys and once for the
girls. I thought it would be fun to
look back at these special years
that have become a big part of the
schools outstanding sports history.
The first time a Kohler High
School basketball team made it to
Madison was in 1950. The boys
team won the Eastern Wisconsin
Conference championship during
the regular season with a record of
12 and 2. Their only two losses
came at the hands of Sheboygan
Falls. The coach was Roy Ebben
who had been coaching Kohler
basketball since 1938. Roy had
some good teams over the years
but the 1949-50 one was his most
promising. This team was tall and
gifted. They were led by a 6'5''
sophomore Dick Gascoigne and a
6'3'' junior Bob Badura.
WIAA tournament structure in
1950 was based on a one class sys-
tem. Only eight schools would
make it to Madison to play for the
state championship. Smaller en-
rollment schools started out play-
ing in a district tournament with
the winner taking on another dis-
trict winner in a sub-sectional
playoff. Kohler started their run to
Madison with a close game with
Howards Grove and won 34 to 32.
They then won games against New
Holstein and Random Lake. The
next week on Tuesday they played
tin a sub-sectional game and beat
Oakfield. On Friday night of that
same week they moved on to the
sectional tournament at Waupun.
Their first opponent was a Lodi
team that was state ranked and had
a record of 21 and 1. Kohler won
the game 56 to 44 and would meet
Madison West for the sectional
championship. They prevailed by
a score of 53 to 40 to qualify for a
trip to Madison. You can imagine
the great excitement in the school
and village as one of the smaller
high schools in Wisconsin was
moving into the state limelight.
Their first opponent in Madison
was Two Rivers. The game was
played on a Thursday afternoon
before a crowd of 14,000. Kohler
put up a gallant battle but fell by a
score of 47 to 44. But they were
not done. Because there were only
eight high schools involved in the
tournament, first game losers
would play a consolation round.
Kohler took on Onalaska and won
57 to 37 to qualify for the conso-
lation championship game on Sat-
urday. Their opponent in this game
was Wauwatosa. Kohler lost by a
score of 54 to 39. The village cel-
ebrated the teams return with a
huge pep rally. They were honored
by the Kohler Company with a
banquet at the American Club.
Members of this 1950 team were
Dick Gascoigne, Bob Badura, Bill
Pohland, Bill Nack,Glen Reine-
man, Pete Anglebeck, Neal
Mueller, Lee Ebben, James
Schulz, Rod Kohls, Charles Meid
and Roger Strenger.
It is interesting to note that
Kohler had an even better basket-
ball team during the 1950-51 sea-
son. With most of the team back
they went through the year with a
perfect 18 and 0 mark and were
ranked the number one small
school in the state. They won the
first 6 games in tournament play
and earned a berth in the
Wauwatosa Sectional. They beat
Kenosha in the first game but lost
to Wauwatosa who was playing on
their home floor. Kohler finished
with a record of 25 and 1. The fol-
lowing year Kohler posted a
record of 22 and 1.
Some additional information
about 1950: Kohler High School
had an enrollment of just over 100
students. The school did not have
its own gymnasium but played all
games in Recreation Hall which
was in the building that is now oc-
cupied by the Kohler Design Cen-
ter. All football and baseball games
were played in the field across the
street from the Recreation Hall
next to the Kohler Company. Bob
Badura was one of the best all
around athletes to ever attend
Kohler High School. In addition to
basketball he was outstanding in
football, track and baseball. He
went on to play for the Wisconsin
Badgers in basketball. Sadly Bob
passed away this past year.
The next trip to the state finals
took place in 1956. Stay tuned.

quest a vacation check on-line through
the Kohler Police Departments web
page, by stopping by the department or
calling. If you call outside of regular

your name, address, duration of your
vacation and any other pertinent infor-

Electronic Warnings and Citations:
The Kohler Police Department with the
help of a grant through the State of Wis-
consin has transitioned to Electronic
Traffic Warnings and Electronic Traffic
Citations. Our department needed to be-
come compliant with the new traffic
stop data collection requirements of the
State of Wisconsin. The technology has
existed in the State of Wisconsin for
about 6 years, but before was cost pro-
hibitive. Through this grant, the officers
now will be able to electronically print
out these documents and then save them
to their computers. The information then
gets transmitted electronically to the
State and to the Municipal Court. The
officers will eventually be able to print
accident reports in the squads for added
efficiency. The ultimate goal is to be
able to have a paperless records system
and to be more efficient in our policing.
All the police departments in Sheboygan
County will eventually have this tech-
nology. The Kohler Police Department
was able to implement more quickly
largely due to Administrative Assistant
Jodie Kuklinskis efforts.

Superintendent
Bruce Neerhof:
SNOW EMERGENCY:
To find out if a snow emergency is in
effect for the Village, call 459-3881
anytime, visit our website, or WHBL
News Radio 1330. There is no parking
on Village streets during a snow emer-
gency. A snow emergency is called
when accumulation is expected to ex-
ceed four inches. Snow emergencies
are typically 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.
SNOW REMOVAL:
Here are some reminders on Village
snow removal ordinances and poli-
cies:
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 opera-
tion.
SNOW REMOVAL AROUND
KIOSKS:
It is the residents responsibility to
have the snow removed around the
kiosks/NDCBU (neighborhood deliv-
ery and collection box unit)/cluster
boxes. The Postal Service will not de-
liver mail if the carrier is not able to
reach the unit the front as well as the
backside. Someone in the unit/neigh-
borhood needs to take the initiative to
remove the snow; or maybe the re-
sponsibility can be shared within the
unit. The Village is not responsible to
keep these areas clear of snow.
REPORTING OF ILLICIT
DISCHARGE:
It is a requirement in the Village of
Kohler Storm water permit with the
DNR to educate the Public on illicit
discharges to the storm water system.
An illicit discharge would be the
dumping of any chemical, pet waste,
or hazardous substance into the street
or a storm basin inlet. The substance
would eventually make its way into
the Sheboygan River causing a pollu-
tion hazard. To report an illicit dis-
charge, please call the Public Works
office at 459-3881.

Building a Kinder
Community
By Susan Jaberg-Principal
The Kohler Public Schools is
launching a comprehensive pro-
gram to create a more caring com-
munity in our district. This effort
will be known as Kind Matters.
The Kohler Kind Matters effort is
being planned by a committee
which includes teachers, adminis-
trators, parents, community mem-
bers and students.
Many activities are unfolding to
kick off the JK-12th grade Kind
Matters campaign. We started the
New Year off with student and
teacher goals that encourage and
reinforce kinder actions. Each stu-
dent and teacher in JK-8th grade
wrote an individual kind goal.
Those goals have been draped
about the school in a chain to re-
mind all of us of our plan to be the
kindest we can be.
The JK-8th grade students also
had the opportunity to share ideas
for the Kind Community name and
logo. We challenged our students
to name the new kind program and
design its logo. The contest was a
major success! We received close
to 100 admissions from students in
grades JK-8th.
Our new program committee
reviewed the contest entries and
selected Megan Renzelmanns as
the first place winner. Megan wins
a special luncheon in the princi-
pals office as her prize. Megans
winning contest admission is
Kindness is the Key.
high school student, Levi Boy is
taking Megans ideas and produc-
ing a logo for the group. The new
logo will be revealed soon.
Other students that presented
ideas worth an honorable mention
were: Leo Fink (3rd grade), Adam
Multer and Kate OLeary (4th
grade), Meg Biznek (5th grade),
and Hanna Woolin, Emma Herold,
Abby Cieszynski and Lani Chung
(7th grade).
Our students will soon be intro-
duced to other opportunities in-
cluding nationally recognized
Challenge Day and Kind Cam-
paign. As these efforts unfold, the
Kohler Community will also host
Community Conversations to en-
gage adults in the discussion of
how bullying impacts our lives.
The Community Conversations are
being included because the plan-
ning team quickly recognized that
success must include individuals
beyond the school walls.
The mission of the Kohler Kind
Matters Campaign is to build a
more caring community. The vi-
sion for this effort is to implement
a series of strategies that will easily
earn us the title, The Friendliest
School in the World.
Megan Renzelmann
High School Parent
Teacher Conferences
will take place on:
Thursday, February 24th, from 5-7:00 pm
Friday, February 25th, from 8-10 a.m.
Conferences will be held in the Village Gym.
Students in grades JK-8th wrote New
Year's Resolutions during the first week of
January, 2011.
The student resolutions were center
around the theme: Kindness and Friend-
ship. Each student wrote their resolution
on a section of blue or white paper and all
sections were attached to produce a chain
reaction of kindness in our school world.
John Senti and Natalie Udovich from first
grade helped Mrs. Jaberg hang the kind res-
olution chain.
The KIND CHAIN is part of a new pro-
gram to enhance kindness in our school
community.

funds for our school, but helps the
environment!
Saturday, February 26 marks a big
day in the music schedule of
Kohler Public Schools. On that
day, our school will be host to the
WSMA District Solo & Ensemble
Festival. Nearly 500 solo and en-
semble events will take place
throughout the school and all per-
formances are open to the public.
This year, Kohler Public Schools
will need help from parents and
community to run the festival. It
is our turn to provide parent vol-
unteers to serve as door monitors,
room chairpersons, runners, and
office helpers to process results.
We are looking for people to who
can help for the day or half-day,
but even those parents who can
spare a couple of hours will be
greatly appreciated. We encour-
age all parents to come and sup-
port their children at the festival.
If you are interested in volunteer-
ing at the festival, please notify
Mrs. Hucke, Mrs. Kukla or Mr.
Tengowski.
Students will be given perform-
ance times approximately one
week prior to the festival. Per-
formance times will also be posted
on the music department website
as soon as they arrive.
Chef Ted will be providing food
throughout the day at the music
festival. We encourage students to
support our sponsors.
Keeping with Kohler tradition, the
music department is preparing
nearly 200 performing events
most in the Central Lakeshore
Conference. Good luck to all of
our music student!
If you have any questions, please
contact the music department.

Economics Teacher
Seeking Business
Professionals
Dear Kohler Community:
Each semester our Economics
business simulation project seems
to get bigger and better! New this
semester, I am seeking business
professionals who would be will-
ing to partner with a small group
of studentsserving as a business
coach of sorts. Coaches would
assist students in developing a
business plan for a business stu-
dents will operate for 10 days at
school. The time commitment
could be as little as two 45-minute
meetings.
As with last semester, I will
also need 3 business professionals
to come in to listen to and give
feedback at the student business
proposal presentations. Each pres-
entation will consist of a 5 min.
pitch along with 10 mins. of feed-
back time, and will take place
Tuesday, March 29th and Wednes-
day, March 30th, from 2:25-3:15
p.m. each day.
The goal is to make our overall
project as real-world as possible.
If you are interested in either op-
portunity or would like more in-
formation, please contact Heather
Reader-Schubert at Reader-Schu-
bertH@kohler.k12.wi.us or call
(920)459-2920 ext. 1451 (Leave a
message if no answer). I look for-
ward to hearing from you!

CONNOR SBROCCO WINS KOHLER
SCHOOLS NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY BEE
Connor Sbrocco competed on
Wednesday, January 12th, in the
school level of the National Geog-
raphy Bee. He competed against 9
other contestants - 2 from each
grade level in 4th thru 8th grade.
Connor is an 8th grader and now
moves one step closer to winning
a $25,000 College Scholarship.
The school-level Bee, at which stu-
dents answered oral and written
questions on geography, was the
first round in the 23rd annual Na-
tional Geography Bee, which is
sponsored by Google..
The kick-off for this years Bee
was the week of November 15th,
with thousands of schools around
the US, District of Columbia, and
five U.S. territories participating.
The school winners, including
Kevin, will now take a written test;
up to 100 of the top scorers in each
state and territory will be eligible
to compete in their state Bee on
April 1, 2011.
The National Geographic Soci-
ety will provide an all-expenses-
paid trip to Washington, D.C., for
state champions and teacher-es-
corts to participate in the Bee na-
tional championship rounds on
may 24 and 25, 2011. The first-
place national winner will receive
a $25,000 college scholarship, a
lifetime membership in the Soci-
ety, and a trip to the Galapagos Is-
lands, courtesy of Lindblad
Expeditions and National Geo-
graphic.
Alex Trebeck, host of Jeop-
ardy, will moderate the national
finals, which will air on May 25.
The program will air on television.
Check local listings for dates and
times.
The National Geographic Soci-
ety developed the National Geog-
raphy Bee in response to a growing
concern about the lack of geo-
graphic knowledge among young
people in the United States.
Anyone can brush up on geog-
raphy with GeoBee Challenge, an
online geography quiz at www.na-
tionalgeographic.com/geobee,
which poses five new questions a
day from previous National Geo-
graphic Bees.
The National Geographic Soci-
ety is the worlds largest nonprofit
scientific and educational organi-
zation. Founded in 1888, the So-
ciety reflects the world through
magazines, books, maps, television
and interactive media.
Congratulations to Connor for
his fine performance in the school
level Bee. Congratulations to the
following students for winning the
class level competition:
4th Grade Cecelia Zielke and
Trent Stock
5th grade - Jacque Beane and
Matthew Madeira
6th grade Luke Silvestre and
Rilind Hidri
7th grade Claudette Beane and
Michael Maggi
8th grade Will Hapeman and

Procedures for school closings due to
inclement weather:
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 portion of a school day will be made as early as pos-
sible 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 Kohler School web site www.kohler-
publicschools.org and the following area radio/television stations:

THE WORD "SALARY"
COMES FROM "SALT"
Salt, our oldest preservative, was
extremely rare in the past. So rare, in fact,
that it was often used as pay.
Imagine...earning a couple of tablespoons of
salt for a hard-days work.
Today, salt is so common that restaurants
give it away for free, and packaged food
contains so much that it's far too easy to eat
too much salt
(salt is also known as "sodium").

Kind Matters includes Unique
Community Theater Opportunity
Kohler Schools is pleased to
announce the launch of Kind
Matters, our effort to build a
more caring school and commu-
nity. Kind Matters is planned by
parents, students, teachers and
staff to reduce bullying and create
a caring community.
Kind Matters includes a num-
ber of school and community
strategies aimed at engaging stu-
dents and adults in conversations
about: kindness, appreciation of
differences, and healing. We will
launch two strategies during the
first week of February, the Kind
Campaign, and a cultural ex-
change leading to a community
performance in May.
On Wednesday, February 9th,
Kohler Schools will welcome the
Kind Campaign. The Kind Cam-
paign is an internationally recog-
nized non-profit organization,
movement, and documentary
based upon the powerful belief in
Kindness. The Kind Campaign
brings awareness and healing to
negative and lasting effects of
girl-against-girl behavior. The
founders of the Kind Campaign
will work with all young women
in grades 5-12 in two one-hour
workshops in the Appley Theater.
Our young men will engage in
conversations about kindness fa-
cilitated at school. To learn more
about the Kind Campaign, please
visit www.kindcampaign.com.
On Monday, February 7th, we
will host a community theater
company from Milwaukee.
CAPITA Productions (City at
Peace in the Arts) will partner
with Kohler students, parents,
staff, and community members to
present We are the Drum. This
production is the story of the
African-American experience
told though music and dance.
CAPITAs unique approach is
that we share a common history.
CAPITA students and adult per-
formers will visit music class-
rooms, introduce the project, and
invite students, parents, and com-
munity members to a perform-
ance workshop at 6:00 PM on
Monday, February 7th in the
school band room.
On Sunday, February 19th,
families and community mem-
bers are invited to travel to Mil-
waukee and see this unique
performance of We are the Drum.
Through a series of workshops,
Kohler students and community
members will have their own op-
portunity to work with diverse
students, parents, and community
members from Milwaukee to
present their own version of We
are the Drum in May. This is an
open opportunity for students,
teachers, and community mem-
bers to be part of a unique cul-
tural and performance exchange.
Learn more about CAPITA Pro-
ductions please visit www.capi-
taproductions.org.
Please join Kohler Schools in
taking pro-active steps to build a
more caring school and commu-
nity through unique collabora-
tions with the Kind Campaign

Kohler Middle School: Holiday
Community Service
By Lily Hart and Annika Lee
Every year around Christmas time,
Kohler Middle School students decide to
give back to the community. This year, a
portion of us visited Meadowview Nursing
Home and others rang bells for the Salvation
Army.
At the nursing home, we invited the res-
idents to a holiday party. We helped open
their gifts and had some treats. It was really
funny when Mr. Schad dressed up as Santa
Claus. The residents really seemed to enjoy
our time together.
As for the rest of us, we split up and rang
bells outside of various businesses. We were
positioned next to Wal-Mart, Woodlake, etc.
After about ten minutes, our fingers and toes
started to lose feeling, but we were still re-
ally glad to help the Salvation Army. At the
end of the day, we all went home knowing
that Christmas is really all about giving.
For It Is in Giving That We Receive:
Kohler Middle School Bake Sale
By John Schad
Kohler Middle School students held a
bake sale before Christmas to raise money
for needy families in Sheboygan County.
The students decided a bake sale would be
the perfect way to give all students an op-
portunity to be involved in the project.
Each student worked one shift of the week
long sale; many students decided to work
three or four shifts instead. The students
baked brownies, cupcakes, cookies, and
made candy to ensure plenty of items were
ready to sell each day. They also sold
candy canes and hot chocolate to the stu-
dents and staff. Overall, the students raised
$600 through their efforts. Although this
sale did not help anyones waistline, it did
make Christmas better for a few local fam-
ilies, and it helped teach our students some
invaluable life lessons.

Partner
Betsy began her career with a Liberal

a Masters Degree in Organization
Development to her repertoire, joined
a consulting firm, and became mas-
terful at implementing complex
organizational change initiatives.
Establishing herself as a consult-
ant wasnt a big enough challenge
though. Eight years ago Betsy started
her own consulting firm, which
quickly merged with ClearSpace,
LLC. Together they formed a consult-
ing practice focused on leadership
development, executive coaching,
and team effectiveness. While work-
ing with leaders and teams, Betsy
began to notice that the clients who
were woman wanted something
unique: an opportunity to grow and
develop themselves in community of
other women.

philosophy, womens studies, train-
ing, human behavior, and systems
change, Betsy was part of the team
that created Tiara: Exceptional
