Two vacancies for school board in 2014 – applicant sought to fill one seat Submitted by Kohler School Board President Marlene Yang Two long standing and valued members of the Kohler School Board have announced that they will step down from service for 2014. Ms. Laura Kohler, serving since 2006, has announced that she is not seeking re-election when her term expires in April, 2014. Ms. Kohler has held a vari- ety of roles on the Board including Board Clerk and Vice President. “ I am honored to have served the Kohler school district for almost 8 years thru different transitions. Today Kohler Schools is thriving. We have a Blue Ribbon award, a bal- anced budget, robust high school enrollment, engaged staff and ad- ministration, and a student body that is full of spirit. We are execut- ing our strategic objectives. It takes everyone working together to make this district one of the strongest in the nation. I will al- ways value my years on the board and will continue to support the district as a parent and a commu- nity member. I am so proud of our accomplishments as a school and community. Thank you for this opportunity.” said Ms. Kohler. Mr. John Suralik, serving on the Board since 2008, has also decided to step down from the Board. Mr. Suralik said “I have had the privi- lege of serving our community for the past six years as a member of the Kohler School Board. I am proud of the manner in which the District has built on the legacy of the Kohler Schools dur- ing this time. While there is more to ac- complish and always will be, I believe the District has strong momentum. Progress has been made on a num- ber of fronts, including leadership, curriculum and finances. Who would have thought we would be discussing the challenges of record enrollment? I want to thank the teachers, administration, staff, families and residents for their past support, and now look forward to supporting the school as a commu- nity member.” Mr. Suralik has served as Treas- urer for much of his tenure; his res- ignation is effective immediately. Both members have served the community through an important period of transition and growth in our school. During their tenures, the school has expanded its class offerings including the addition of four high school Advanced Place- ment classes. The school has in- vested in technology– establishing the Digital Learning Center, adding mobile laptop computers labs, and implementing a BYOD (bring your own device) technol- ogy policy.

PORT WASHINGTON,WI. As Valentine’s Dayapproaches, new loversanxiously await theirfirst romantic holiday to-gether, their hearts aflut-ter with anticipation.But what about coupleswho have already with-stood the test of time,whose passionate flamesof love have crackleddown to cozy embers?How can they keep theirspark alive?

“Swing Dance,” acomedy by Lynda Martens that iscelebrating its worldwide premiereat Memories Dinner Theater Fri-day, February 7, takes us inside thelives of a longtime married couplefacing this very challenge, with hi-larious results.

Walter (played by Jim Jaques)and Vicky (Pat Forkner) are des-perately trying to liven up theirdusty marriage. They employ a va-riety of techniques, from pharma-ceutical to spiritual to physicalattempts, but their relationshipcould never have been prepared forthe bombshell that Vicky’s sophis-ticated business partner Dante(Joaquin Hernandez) and his wifeJasmine (Lori Minetti) drop duringdinner one night.

The story explores how marriage

is an ever-changing and evolvingentity that requires effort and careto maintain. The playwright,Martens, is a Canadian marriageand family therapist whose profes-sional experience provides greatinspiration.

“Keeping the spark alive is dif-ficult at many stages in a couple'slife,” she explains. “The spark dieswhen we stop actively loving ourpartner, and when we stop beingcurious about each other… We areall growing, changing creaturesand we can discover each other inlittle ways every day.”

Oostburg 57, Kohler 46 (1-6CLC) It would have been nice tohave gone Dutch treat thatnight, but Oostburg did notwant any part of it as they madeus pay with a 57-46 loss athome on January 10. The Dutchmen “Klomp”edtheir way to a ten point leadafter the opening quarter andwere able to hold it in the sec-ond to put them up at the half35-21. Down by twelve at theend of the third quarter, Kohlerstole the momentum in thefourth; coming within sixpoints of capturing the lead…and then the little Dutch boytook his finger out of the dyke.“Despite the outcome, I knowthis is the start of somethingnew, something great,” said for-ward Jordan Toeller. Brennan Ladwig led theBombers in scoring with 17,followed by Brett Mueller with12. Noah Fink played a com-plete game by contributing sixsteals, five assists, five re-

bounds and five points. Jake Hurlbutt led in scoringfor the Flying Dutchmen with14, while Andrew Telschowadded another 13. Even though this game willgo down in the books as a loss,as Mike Ditka said, “You’renever a loser until you quit try-ing.” The Blue Bombers nevergave up in the second half,showing desire, discipline, de-termination and self-sacrifice.That in and of itself is a victory.Kohler —Noah Fink 5, Brett Mueller

The third graders are writing personal narratives.  Tohave it be meaningful for the children, they are writ-ing about a Christmas memory or activity they dowith their families.  Unbeknownst to their families,these will also serve as a gift to givethis  Christmas.  They are also writing about the NewYear wishes for the year.  Students decided to bring

canned goods to donate to Salvation Army to helppeople who are less fortunate.
