Greenbush Dead Citys defend their home turf in Wade House opens first game of 2010 season
sights and sounds of vintage base ball as it was played in the 1860s! Game time is 1:30 p.m.; included with admission (game-only tickets are $5 per person). Concessions before and during the game will be available at the base ball field. Food service and refreshments will be available at the Greenbush Cupboard caf from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., both Saturday and Sunday. Admission to the event is $11 for adults, $9.25 for students and seniors (65+), $5.50 for children 5-17, or $30 for families (two adults and two or more dependent children). Wade House is located midway between Fond du Lac and Sheboygan, just off Highway 23. For more information, contact Wade House at (920) 526-3271 or visit Wade House on the web at www.wadehouse.org.
Play Ball! Dont miss the Greenbush Dead Citys defend their home turf against the Milwaukee Grays in the teams first Base Ball game of the 2010 season. Catch all the nostalgic action of authentic 1860s Base Ball on Sunday May 16 at Wade House Historic Site in Greenbush. Game time is 1:30 p.m. The fast-growing sport of vintage base ball (1860s spelling) celebrates the heritage of Americas pastime by playing according to rules and customs of the 19th century. Rules of vintage base ball are considerably different from those that 20th century fans (rooters) are used to, as is the games terminology. Among the major differences in rules, according to Betsy Urven, Wade House Lead Interpreter and Greenbush Dead Citys Manager, are that the pitcher, or hurler, throws the ball underhanded to the batter, or striker, there is no strike zone, foul balls do not count as strikes, balls caught on the first bound are outs, and players do not use gloves. Vintage uniforms and bats are used, and base balls are wrapped and stitched by hand, states Urven, and the rules of 1860 base ball are followed. In the game, the hurler (pitcher) must deliver the ball as near as possible over the center of the home and for the striker (batter) to hit. Hands (outs) are made when the ball is caught on the fly on the first bounce, or if the ball is in the hands of the tender (baseman) before the
runner steps on the base. Scouts (outfielders) and the rest of the players catch the ball without gloves and the behind (catcher) has the job of catching without any protective equipment or glove. Be there on Sunday May 16 to enjoy an authentic game of vintage Base Ball as it was played over 140 years ago in Sheboygan County. Join in the fun as the teams transport fans back to a day and age when the sport was in its infancy. Following the game, fans will be invited to join team members in a rousing pick-up game. Kids, you wont need to bring your gloves for this game! Wade House Historic Site is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.; game-only tickets for the Base Ball game are $5 per person. Concessions are available before and during the game. Admission to the entire site (including the base ball game) is $11 for adults, $9.25 for seniors 65 and older, and $5.50 for children ages 5-17. For more information about vintage base ball at Wade House Historic Site and other special events, call (920) 526-3271 or visit the web site at www.wadehouse.org. Wade House is one of 10 historic sites owned and operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society. The Society, founded in 1846, is committed to helping people connect to the past by collecting, preserving and sharing stories.

Increasing public awareness of waste dumping in storm drains in the Village of Kohler
By Peter Cope Some citizens of Kohler may not realize that any materials dumped into the storm drains run directly into the Sheboygan River. If hazardous waste is dumped, this can be a serious pollution problem for the watershed in Sheboygan County. Here in Kohler we are part of a state wide project aimed at keeping our environment clean and educating the public about hazardous dumping into local waterways. In order to assist Kohler on accomplishing these goals, the pavement next to all the storm drains in the Village of Kohler were spray painted with the statement: DUMP NO WASTE - DRAINS TO RIVER. This work was done as an Eagle Scout Service Project last August by Boy Scouts of Kohlers Troop 831. This project will hopefully help residents to understand that any substances and materials dumped into the storm drains do not go through a water treatment plant.

The British are coming Kohler swimmers qualify for back to the Village in YMCAs state championship World Cup Year
Eleven Kohler swimmers swam with the Sheboygan Chinooks through some tough meets to qualify for the YMCA State Swim With an estimated 18 million players, the sport of soccer is certainly a mainstay of the American youth sports culture. The US Mens National team has qualified for this years World Cup in South Africa and the Womens National Team remains as one of the powerhouses in world soccer. As the game continues to develop here, the number one soccer company in the United States, Canada and Australia Challenger Sports has been invited back to hold one of their nationwide program of British Soccer camps right here in the growing soccer community of the Village of Kohler. It forms part of a local initiative to celebrate the worlds most popular game during the FIFA World Cup year. The Village of Kohlers Parks and Recreation department has again teamed up to host the week long British Soccer camp during the week of June 14th 18th at Lost Woods Park and Roosevelt Park in Kohler. Last years camp was a complete hit and this years is sure to score with budding soccer players in the area. The camp will run Monday through Friday and each child will be coached by a member of Challengers British coaching staff flown to the USA exclusively to work on these programs. Challenger will hold over 2,500 British Soccer Camps this summer and will coach over 100,000 players between the ages of 4 and 18, as well as completing FREE coach education clinics for over 20,000 parents and coaches. Challengers British Soccer Camp is more than a week of drills and skills. In addition to taking part in a daily regimen of foot skill development, technical and tactical practices and daily World Cup tournament style plays, each child will be treated to a rich cultural experience and lessons on respect, responsibility, integrity, leadership and sportsmanship. The most popular part of each camp is the Camp World Cup. The coaches use this daily tournament to teach the players about life, customs and traditions of other countries. The campers are asked to make up cheers, bring flags, dress up and learn as much as they can about the country they represent Teams are also welcome to attend and receive a week of focused instruction to prepare them for the fall season. Each camper will receive a FREE camp T-shirt, soccer ball, soccer poster and an individual skills performance evaluation. In addition, any child who signs up online at least 45 days prior to camp will receive a genuine British Soccer replica Jersey valued at $39! Space is limited so parents are advised to sign up online in advance at www.challengersports.com to avoid disappointment. Nick Rundell, a Regional Director for Challenger Sports remarks, We are looking forward to a long lasting partnership with the Village of Kohlers Recreation Team in which we know we can help them grow and achieve their goals on and off the field. We hope that our camps, clinics, tournament and tours not only help players develop their skills, but also encourage them to develop a passion for the sport that goes beyond their organized team activities. We want them to do all of the things that their counterparts in Europe, Asia and South America are doing. We would love to see more kids playing with soccer balls in the front yard, more kids watching professional games on television and more kids dreaming that one day they can be playing for the USA in the World Cup.

MADISON Sheboygan County native and former State Representative Walter Butch Ireland was honored on April 13, 2010 at the State Capitol in Madison according to State Senator Joe Leibham (R-Sheboygan) and State Representative Steve Kestell (RElkhart Lake). The State Assembly and Senate both passed Assembly Joint Resolution (AJR) 120, a formal recognition of the life and public service of Mr. Ireland, who passed away on March 21, 2010 at the age of 86. Mr. Irelands public service spanned a lifetime as he served the United States Air Force, the Sheboygan County Board, Sheboygan County Airport Building Committee, Sheboygan County Association of Commerce,
Lightfoot School Committee, Rocky Knoll Building Addition and Conversion Committee and the Building Committee for Sunny Ridge Health and Rehabilitation Center. Mr. Ireland also served the Sheboygan area in the State Assembly from 1958-60. Butch was a good friend and mentor, said Senator Leibham. I appreciate the stories he shared with me regarding his term in the State Assembly and was inspired by his lifetime of service to his country, state, county and community. Representative Kestell added, Butch was always involved because he cared deeply about his community and his fellow citizens. He worked hard, but did everything with a smile and good nature.
The State Legislature recently honored the life and public service of Sheboygan County native and former State Representative Walter Butch Ireland.

Wellness Day Activities Laura Multer and Heather Reader-Schubert are working on the 2010 wellness day. Laura worked in November to find the keynote speaker for middle and high school students. The presentation for parents is: The Dark Side of Digital Technology: the Internet, Cell Phones, and Social Media by Eric Szatkowski, Special Agent with the Department of Justice/Division of Criminal Investigation March 10, 2010 from 6:00 8:00 p.m. in the Kohler Memorial Theatre. Heather wished to do something in the DLC with behavioral studies students. The class is participating in a 2 part collaboration with other school districts regarding cyberbullying. All the schools will create a public service announcement. Bullying.org will run the psa over the internet at no costs to the districts. Dr. Kobylski read the following statement: Neither I nor the members of the Board of Education will disclose or discuss in a public session, confidential pupil record information related to any student enrolled within the School District. This also means that we are not in a position to comment on confidential pupil record information which might further inform the community with respect to reasons upon which particular students may have elected to enroll in another school district. I will say that the reasons for students enrolling in other districts have not been as simple or clear cut as may be claimed or believed. The School District has a comprehensive policy on bullying. The policy is supplemented by ongoing training for faculty and staff, as well as academic instruction for students. If the School District is to undertake a disciplinary response, bullying behaviors must occur on school premises or when students are under the supervision of school authorities. If the schools are to respond, students must communicate their experiences. Students must also be willing to confirm having been the recipient of bullying behaviors, when those behaviors are observed by a faculty member or school official. Each year, more students seek to enroll in the School District of Kohler, than to leave. As was recently reported on the front page of the Sheboygan Press, 120 students chose to open enroll in the Kohler school system for the 2009-2010 school year compared to 38 students who decided to open enroll out of the Kohler system. Just nine days into the open enrollment/school choice application period for the 2010-2011 academic year, 33 students have applied for entry into Kohler, with just 4 current students submitting applications to other districts. With regard to the five families who have recently elected to enroll their children in other school districts, only one has suggested that their decision was based upon an issue of bullying. Any assertion to the contrary has either not been communicated to, or confirmed by School District officials. The school District of Kohler has a long history of providing a welcoming and tolerant environment to all stakeholders. Neither students nor parents should hesitate to communicate incidents of bullying, or other sensitive information, to school principals, members of the faculty, or members of the Board of Education. The School District will promptly respond. Review of District Finances Dr. Kobylski reported that the district is approximately 2% below 2009-2010 expenditures. As a result of Feb 2 expense summary, the district is approximately 3% below expenditures from last year. There were, however, extraordinary claims with regards to unemployment claims. . Superintendents Report New website update The on-switch has been flipped. Its a process, not an event. Wendy thanked the parents and community members for their patience and ideas. Turn-it-in software (Anti-plagiarism) Allows teachers to manage plagiarism. Students submit papers electronically and the software can identify language. The English department will be using it next week. Other high school departments will follow suit. Thank you notes to school district for performances and generosity A particular family is going to enroll their children in Kohler after looking at schools across the state; the teachers received a thank you note from KSF for donating their time with the craft fair; Kohler students brought in 300 of the 1200 coats collected for Coats for Kids program; hats for childrens cancer research raised $672; Souper Bowl collected 4000 cans of soup for Sheboygan Food Pantry; Madrigals sang at Sargento Retiree Christmas luncheon and received a $200 bonus. High School Report Bob is working on the master schedule for the high school. Mr. Benish is convening a group of individuals to work out an equitable solution for a band trip. The trip proposal will be finalized by the next board meeting. Lee will also meet with the village residents and come up with a plan on how to manage the weight room. The district needs to protect itself from liability issues, safety issues, and security issues.
