The past sev-eral weekshave createdmuch turmoilfor WI, bothat the stateand local lev-els. As Gov-ernor Scott

Walker’s budget bill winds itselfthrough the courts and the legisla-tive process, concerns still remainat the local level. In the end,though, it should be realized thatcommunities will have to respondto the budget as approved by theHouse, the Senate and the Gover-nor. In any case, it can be safelysaid that all of us are ready to bringthe divisive issues to rest and moveon…as the rights and dignities ofall are respected. With the inevitability that com-munities will be receiving lessState aid for their schools, lessshared revenue for communityservices, and a freeze on tax levyincreases, your local governmentsand school boards will experiencesevere limitations on their upcom-ing budgets. It is almost certainthat communities will have totighten their belts as the 2012budgets are put in place. Through all of this, however,the education of our young peoplecannot be abrogated and the youthof today cannot be viewed as ex-pendable commodities. The viablefuture of any nation rests in itsyoung people. Mr. Marty Lex-mond, District Superintendent,definitely walks a “tight rope” inworking with the School Board,the district staff, the students, andthe community while attempting tomaintain the strength of the KohlerSchool District’s overall programs.All of us have our personal beliefsand agendas as to how it should bedone. In the end, though, weshould be unified on one front: thefuture of our nation rests with the

youth of today. My personal bestwishes are extended to Mr. MartyLexmond, School Board PresidentDr. Jane Bishop, and the other fourSchool Board members, and theschool staff as they pull together tooffer the best possible educationalprograms for the youth of our com-munity. The Kohler Civic Club was or-ganized one year ago and meets atnoon on the first and third Thurs-day of each month. Meetings rotatebetween Blackwolf Run Restau-rant and Pine Hills Country Club.In early May, the Village of Kohler2011-12 Directory will be deliv-ered to your homes and/or placesof business. The Club members areworking feverishly on the plans fora Village of Kohler Cemetery Vet-erans’ Memorial. A view of theproposed plans will be forthcom-ing soon; it is anticipated that anarchitectural design will be dis-played at the Kohler Cemetery forthe 2011 annual Memorial Day Pa-rade. Plans include the unveilingof the Veterans’ Memorial at the2012 Memorial Day Parade, whichwould be a highlight for the Vil-lage of Kohler Centennial. If youare interested in becoming a mem-ber of this illustrious club, pleasecontact President Richard Balge(920-694-1918). The Village Centennial Com-mittee continues to meet regularly.We are pleased to welcome CindyHowley, Kohler Co. Representa-tive, to the committee. Cindy is animportant addition, since her inputwill bring to the table the history ofthe Village of Kohler from the per-spective of the Kohler Co. OtherCommittee members are the Vil-lage Board President, Amy Biznek,Tom Leonhardt, Sheryl Lindstrom,and Peter Fetterer. The April 11th Board Meetingwill conclude my eight years as aVillage Board member – includingmy last eight months as “interim

Board President.” A personal voidis still felt with the untimely deathof Steve Reinbacher. Sincere con-dolences continue to be with AnnReinbacher and her family. During these eight years, I havehad the privilege of serving on theBoard in several different capaci-ties. My primary role for severalyears was Chairperson of the Prop-erty Committee. In looking back,several projects were completedduring that time. Among thosewere the new roof on Kohler Me-morial Hall Building, constructionof the Village Children’s Swim-ming Pool, and the Lost WoodsPark Pavilion. Included are the up-keep and replacement of severalstreets – including School Street,renovation of Kohler MemorialHall/Theatre/Gym, extension ofsewer/water line on WoodlandRoad, and the list goes on. Sincerethanks are extended to Bruce Neer-hof, DPW Superintendent, withwhom I worked closely for ad-dressing the property agendas forthe Village; Laurie Lindow, VillageClerk/Treasurer; and Cindi Gamb,Deputy Clerk/Treasurer. Also, itwas an honor to serve with pastPresidents Oscar Ward andThomas Leonhardt. My best of wishes are extendedto your anticipated new BoardPresident, Thomas Schnettler, andthe successful three of the fourcandidates for trustee positions:Thomas Gast, William Kunst,Brian Post, and Dietmar Wohlge-muth. Again, thanks to all who havemade my position on the boardpossible and to those with whom Ihave worked. It has been an honorin having served on the Kohler Vil-lage Board!!!

Best of wishes…

Soccer program’s successextends beyond high school

Everyone in the village is awareof the success of the boys highschool soccer program. The BlueBomber boys have racked up manyawards over the past five years in-cluding three conference champi-onships, five regional champion-ships, a sectional championshipand state runner up last year. Whatyou may not know is that severalplayers have taken their highschool experience and successwith them into college. Currentlythere are four soccer alumni play-ing college ball:

AJ Armstrong (Class of 2007)plays defender for WisconsinLutheran College. He was a teamcaptain and key player when theBlue Bombers went an undefeated14-0 to win the Central LakeshoreConference (CLC) in 2007.

Kevin Beine (Class of 2009)plays for St. Norbert’s College. Hewas a team captain and secondteam All Conference defender forKohler in last year’s run to state.

Jimmy Mani (Class of 2007)plays for UW Sheboygan and wasrecently named 2nd team All Con-

ference in the Wisconsin Colle-giate Conference. Jimmy was theCLC leading scorer in 2007 for theBombers. He also received 1stteam All Conference and All State(Honorable Mention) honors.

Austin Van Treeck (Class of2009) plays for Ripon College andhas two goals and an assist in hisfirst year playing college ball.Austin was the conference leadingscorer last year and an All Confer-ence selection for the BlueBombers.

Austin recently sat down tofeild some questions about his col-lege experience so far:

What is it like to play soccer atthe college level?

“Playing soccer at the collegelevel is everything I dreamed itwould be and more. It is a lot morephysical and the amount of timeand effort put into it becomes yourlifestyle.”

What was the biggest differencefrom high school?

“I would say the biggest differ-ence between high school soccerand college soccer is the overall

pace of the game. You need to an-ticipate your next move and youropponent’s moves even more thanin high school.”

Did you feel well preparedwhen you went out for the team?

“When I arrived at our first dayof practice I felt lost and out ofsync. It took some time to transi-tion and get used to the speed ofplay. Also my conditioning needmuch improvement.”

I see you were moved from for-ward to midfielder/defender. Howwas that transition?

“Yes, my first time on the fieldin a game I played outside mid-fielder. I was just told to work hardand run until I couldn't anymore.The transition was brutal but gaveme a better perception of what ittook to play that position and whatplayers had done in that position inorder to get the ball up to the for-wards.”

What was it like to score yourfirst college goal?

“My first college goal was in-credible. It was an overtime gamewinning shot from about 30 yards.

I actually didn’t' get to see it be-cause I was immediately knockedover after I took the shot. It wasnot a realistic first goal but eitherway it felt incredible to have a goaland know that I did something tobenefit the team.”

What advice would you give tokids in the village dreaming aboutplaying college soccer?

“To all those who dream of thechance to play college soccer oreven those who want to play highschool soccer, my advice to themis keep working hard consistentlyand don't let anyone tell you are in-adequate and you won't make it. Ifyou give it your all you will behappy with the outcome.”

pace of the game. You need to an-ticipate your next move and youropponent’s moves even more thanin high school.”

Did you feel well preparedwhen you went out for the team?

“When I arrived at our first dayof practice I felt lost and out ofsync. It took some time to transi-tion and get used to the speed ofplay. Also my conditioning needmuch improvement.”

I see you were moved from for-ward to midfielder/defender. Howwas that transition?

“Yes, my first time on the fieldin a game I played outside mid-fielder. I was just told to work hardand run until I couldn't anymore.The transition was brutal but gaveme a better perception of what ittook to play that position and whatplayers had done in that position inorder to get the ball up to the for-wards.”

What was it like to score yourfirst college goal?

“My first college goal was in-credible. It was an overtime gamewinning shot from about 30 yards.

I actually didn’t' get to see it be-cause I was immediately knockedover after I took the shot. It wasnot a realistic first goal but eitherway it felt incredible to have a goaland know that I did something tobenefit the team.”

What advice would you give tokids in the village dreaming aboutplaying college soccer?

“To all those who dream of thechance to play college soccer oreven those who want to play highschool soccer, my advice to themis keep working hard consistentlyand don't let anyone tell you are in-adequate and you won't make it. Ifyou give it your all you will behappy with the outcome.”

I am running for election to the Kohler School Board to get some common sense in making real decisions.We have many homes for sale in Kohler because the property taxes are out of sight. Some of the retireesliving here would be out of work like me and would have no pensions if the economy was like this 10-20years ago.

Foreclosures, no jobs, many food pantries abound. I will try to get the 1.5 million dollars of benefits offthe property taxes. The teachers make more money without these benefits than myself who worked for12 months out of the year.

I paid for all my benefits off my check. With their big incomes they can, too. This would be fair to the tax-payer and make more lower income families with kids move into our Village because of lower taxes.

Also, some of the classes only have 10 kids in a class. VERY COSTLY. I will need a lot of support fromyou, the taxpayer, at the school board meetings if elected.

Kohler 5th GradersAttend Trees forTomorrowBy Cecelia Zielke(5th grade stu-dent)

Do bears reallyhibernate? Howmany calories dobears eat in a day?What kind ofwolves are in Wis-consin? Thesewere just some ofthe questions thatKohler fifthgraders got an-swered when wewere in EagleRiver, WI attending a programcalled Trees for Tomorrow in Feb-ruary.

The Trees for Tomorrow pro-gram is dedicated to teaching peo-ple, especially school groups,about all of our natural resourcesand natural surroundings. It wasstarted by Mulley Taylor in 1944to start new forests, and by 1967about 23 million seedlings hadbeen planted. At that time, theirfocus switched to education.Since then, TFT has worked to ed-ucate school groups from Wiscon-sin, Michigan, and Illinois.

From February 20-22nd, agroup of 14 fifth graders and 2teachers from Kohler ElementarySchool attended TFT. There weremany activities that were both en-joyable and educational includingpapermaking, workshops onwolves and bears, survival skillstraining, and a workshop on skulls,skins, and bones. The group wentsnowshoeing on two differentdays—once in the Eagle Riverarea and once in Upper Michigan.On one of the snowshoeing trips,we got to feed chickadees right outof our hands. That was a lesson in

patience! For survival skills train-ing, groups of students learnedwhat needs to be done to survivein the wilderness and how to makecampfires with minimal supplies.It was not an easy task! It was agreat lesson on perseverance andteamwork!

This year’s trip was made pos-sible by a generous donation byAmanda Brotz. It was an honor togo on this wonderful trip, and wewant to thank Ms. Brotz! Becausethis was such a great experience,the fifth grade teachers would liketo take a group of students to TFTnext winter, but they are in need ofanother sponsor. If you would liketo sponsor classes to go to Treesfor Tomorrow in the future, pleasecontact Duane Du Mez at 803-7234 [email protected].

Have you figured out the an-swers to the original questions yet?Bears really do not hibernate.They just slow down their bodysystems during winter. Bears eat25,000 calories per day! That isequal to 38 banana splits! Thegray wolf or timber wolf is theonly wolf in WI.

To insure the best educational cli-mate for our students, it is necessaryto have an orderly and educationallysound policy for placement of stu-dents in elementary classrooms. Wefeel this annual process of groupingshould be completed with the follow-ing goals in mind:

1. Each room should be grouped asheterogeneously as possible. If pos-sible, each group should contain anequal number of boys and girls andshould be balanced in regard to lead-ership, learning ability, behavior andspecial problems.

2. If possible, students should be ro-tated from year-to-year to insure asocial mixing in each grade.

3. Those students who have beenidentified for the Children with Dis-abilities Program will receive specialconsideration based on their needs.REGARDING ELEMENTARYCLASSROOM PLACEMENTParental input into the processshould only be made when it is feltthat there is strong educational evi-dence that their child will benefit byplacement with a certain classroomteacher.

It is very important that rooms in the

elementary grades be organized inthe best groupings possible.Procedures for requests are as fol-lows:1. Parents must submit their requestthat their daughter/son be placed in aspecific classroom in writing to theElementary Principal by May 1.(Neither e-mails nor phone calls willbe accepted; only written requestswill be considered.)2. The Elementary Principal willconsider the parent request and mayreview all necessary data (testrecords, health records, behavioralrecords, teacher progress reports,etc.) as well as consulting with thesending and/or receiving teachers.Parents will be limited to two teacherrequests per child’s JK-5th grade ca-reer.3. Students whose parents are mak-ing specific teacher requests for thefirst time are given priority.4. Requests may be denied if grant-ing the request leads to unbalancedclasses in areas of gifted and tal-ented, special needs, gender, etc.Classroom lists cannot be consideredpermanently established until the be-ginning of the new school year.

In honor ofNATIONAL PRETZEL DAY

The first pretzel was created in 620 AD by a monk in southern France

or northern Italy. It was originally called a 'pretiola' and was renamed

'pretzel' later when it migrated to Germany and Austria.

In the 17th century, pretzels were known as a marriage knot.

In 1861, pretzel twisting was thehighest-paying job in the

Philadelphia region. Today, machines do the twisting.

Have you made priorarrangements with this individual to be on“stand by” for these occasions? Please makeyour arrangements in advance and make sureyour child is fully aware of what to do incase school closes early.

Any decision to close school for all or anyportion of a school day will be made as earlyas possible in order to afford parents the op-portunity to make alternate child care trans-portation plans.

Ongoing fundraisers at Kohler Schools! It isn’t often that someone gives you money for something you’re going to throw away, but that’s exactly what these programs do. Each label or cap may seem small, but together they add up to hundreds of dollars each year, which helps KSF PTO fund many great activities for the children of Kohler Schools.

Elementary students can turn in these items at any time to their classroom collection box. We’re having a collection contest again this year – the top 2 classes with the most points at the end of the year will receive an ice cream party (each box top/label/cap = 1 point).

If you don’t have an elementary student but would like to support our school, please give your items to an elementary student or teacher (they’ll be happy to take them off your hands!)

VERY IMPORTANT! Please cut along the dashed line and save the coupon only as shown below. The companies do not accept the entire label or package.

Box Tops for Education coupons can be found on General Mills cereals, Pillsbury Refrigerated and Frozen/Dairy, Hamburger Helper, Betty Crocker Snacks and Baking, Ziplock Bags/Containers, Kleenex and many more products. Each coupon is worth 10 cents!

Labels for Education coupons can be found on Campbell’s soup, Swanson Soup, Franco American products, Prego Sauce, Pepperidge Farms products, and V8 drink lids. Each label earns points for free merchandise.

Tyson Project A+ coupons can be found on Tyson Chicken products. Each label is worth 24 cents!

Kemp’s Nickels for Schools caps on gallon and half gallon milk containers. Each cap is worth 5 cents.

Kwik Trip Milk Moola caps on Kwik Trip or Kwik Star's Nature’s Touch, and Kwik Quencher products (worth 5¢ each) or Glazers Dozen or Half-Dozen donuts packages (worth 10¢ each).

Questions? Please contact program coordinator Tina Horth at: [email protected]

The program is simple. Follow-ing a quick interview, we willmatch you with a child who hasbeen recommended to Big Broth-ers & Big Sisters through a schoolstaff member. Once we introduceyou to your Lunch Buddy, youjoin that child one day each weekduring the school year over theirlunch period. During that hour,you will eat with him/her, playgames, talk, go to the library…whatever you would like to do.

What’s important is not what youdo, it’s the time you spend to-gether.

Something so small can make ahuge difference in a child’s life!

If you are interested in becom-ing a Lunch Buddy, please con-tact Laura Multer at KohlerSchools; 803-7203/[email protected] orAmbra at Big Brothers & Big Sis-ters; 458-0111/[email protected]
