member to resign
Job relocation leaves board vacancy
Gordon Wuthrich, current Treasurer on
the Kohler Schools Board of Education,
recently tendered his resignation fromthe
Board of Education effective May 15th due
to relocation to Tyler, Texas. Mr. Wuthrich
has been a vital driver of curricular change
while serving on the Board and its
Curriculum & Instruction Committee. In
conjunction with Administration and the
Strategic Plan initiatives, almost all recent
curricular and instructional changes, includ-
ing Differentiated Instruction, restructuring
high school science and math programs,
elementary school small class sizes, cre-
ation of the new middle school, and the
recent approval of a Summer School
Enrichment Program, were influenced by
Mr. Wuthrich.
During his three-year tenure on the
Board, he served as vice president during
the 2006-07 school year and treasurer dur-
ing the current school year. Superintendent
J eff Dickert noted that Mr. Wuthrich was a
great board member to work with. He stat-
ed, Mr. Wuthrich came to every meeting
prepared and ready to make great decisions
to help kids, while always keeping his eye
on the budget and the bottomline. His pro-
fessionalism on the Board has raised the
standard of boardsmenship here at Kohler
Schools.
Mr. Wuthrich is leaving Kohler to
become Vice President of Marketing for the
Trane Company, whose headquarters are
located in Tyler, Texas. His last official
Board meeting will be May 12th. The Board
will fill his seat at the J une Board meeting.
Interested parties can find more information
on filling this vacancy in this months issue
of the Kohler Times.
Lance Northey, Kohler
MiddleSchool/High School
Principal for the past six years,
tendered his resignation to the
Board of Education at their April
meeting. In accepting the resig-
nation, Board President J im
ODonnell thanked Mr. Northey
for his six years of service at
Kohler High School, compli-
mented himon his efforts on behalf of the
Kohler students, and wished himwell in his
future endeavors.
Accomplishments during Mr. Northeys
tenure include the addition of four new
sports through a co-op with Sheboygan
Lutheran, introduction of a true Middle
School program, creation of teacher web-
pages, implementation of the computerized
grading system, creation of Winterfest,
implementing the computerized attendance
system, implementation of the new teacher
supervision program, implementation of
Differentiated Instruction training for teach-
ers, the addition of seven new
courses, and the top ACT com-
posite scores by graduating sen-
iors in the State of Wisconsin
during the past two school years.
The School Board has decided
not to begin a search for Mr.
Northeys replacement while the
search for a new superintendent
is underway. The Superintendent
search firmwill screen local, retired educa-
tion administrators and recommend those
whom the Board should consider for an
interim Principal assignment. The new
Superintendent will later lead the effort to
find a permanent replacement after assess-
ing the needs of that position.
Mr. Northeys last day will be J une 30th.
Mr. Northey looks forward to the gradua-
tion of the Class of 2008 as they were 7th
graders his first year in Kohler. Mr. Northey
would like to thank the parents, students,
community, and staff for their support dur-
ing his tenure.

Rec trail construction underway
Reconstruction of the Old Plank Road
Trail between the Sheboygan trailhead and
Range Line Road has begun and is sched-
uled to be completed by J une. The trail is
closed between the Sheboygan trailhead
and Range Line Road until repaving work
is complete. People are asked to please stay
off this section of the trail during construc-
tion.
The temporary inconvenience of the trail
closure will result in a great benefit to the
County in the long run. This section of the
trail, which is in need of repair, will be
completely reconstructed and widened; and
will meet current federal and state stan-
dards after completion. Wisconsin Public
Service Corp., which is extending a utility
pipeline, will pay for part of the re-paving
of the two-mile stretch of trail.
The County Planning and Resources
Department has developed suggested
detours during this period. Recreational
trail users, as well as individuals who may
use the trail as a bicycle commuting route,
were kept in mind during the process.
Maps and route descriptions are available
at kiosks at the Old Plank Road trailheads
and are posted on the County web site.
Specific information about the trail
reconstruction and detour route informa-
tion can be viewed at the official
Sheboygan County web site: www.co.she-
boygan.wi.us.

The Scallions ready
to do battle
Four Kohler High students, known col-
lectively as The Scallions, will be compet-
ing at Launchpad 2008, a regional battle of
the bands on Friday, May 9, at Wauwatosa
East High School. Guitarists/vocalists
Charlie Reinertsen and J ordan Kusel,
bassist Mark Nebel, and drummer Dominic
Gischia formed The Scallions in September
and were popular half-time entertainment at
Blue Bomber basketball games this school
year.
The band was selected to be one of fif-
teen bands to play in the Milwaukee region-
al of the Launchpad competition. The top
three bands in each of four regional battles
will move on to the state competition on
J une 21, at the Memorial Union in Madison.
The grand prize there includes a gig at
Summerfest and recording studio time.
The contest is sponsored by the
Wisconsin School Music Association, the
same organization that runs the district and
state Solo/Ensemble contests. WSMA
hopes to encourage students to pursue their
musical interests outside of school as well
as in traditional school music programs.
I amreally glad these kids were select-
ed to compete in the Launchpad competi-
tion, said KHS band director Rich
Tengowski. They have created their own
original songs and have spent countless
hours before and after school refining the
groups sound. Imreally proud of themand
I know they will represent Kohler with
class.
The band will play three songs, two of
which are Scallions originals. J udges will
be music industry professionals. Part of the
judging criteria is crowd reaction, so the
band would like to invite everyone to come
and cheer themon. The doors open at 4:00
p.m. and The Scallions play at 6:00 p.m.
The top three winners will be announced at
about 9:45 p.m. Tickets are $5.00 and are
available at the door.
Launchpad is a unique, statewide alterna-
tive music competition for high school stu-
dents! At least one member of each band
must be in a school music programand all
members must be currently enrolled in a
Wisconsin school to qualify. Bands will be
evaluated by music industry professionals
on expression and creativity, (dynamics,
ability to connect with audience/inspire
enthusiasm), technique (intonation, rhyth-
mic clarity, dexterity, vocal clarity/diction),
time (ability to play in sync and feel style
together), blend (melody, inner notes, bass,
listening) and synergy (overall effect, the
wow factor).
Launchpad is funded by WFSM, corpo-
rate sponsorships and in-kind giving from
people who believe in the benefits of music
education and all that music has to offer.
Sponsors for the Milwaukee regional com-
petition include Charter Communications,
Madison Media Institute, Nicholas Family
Foundation, SONY, Yamaha, WDJ T TV 58,
WMLW TV 41, Milwaukee J ournal
Sentinel, Clearwing Productions, White
House of Music, Pieper Power Foundation
and Tall Guy Productions. The programis
produced by Dennis GrahamAssociates.
We have some very talented bands look-
ing to performin this Launchpad regional
competition and cheering on the bands is a
great way to show support for music and
celebrate this one of a kind garageband
competition that highlights the many ways
that students can expand their musical
skills, said producer Dennis Graham.

School superintendent search begins
The Kohler Board of Education has hired
a Chicago area search firmto find candi-
dates to replace Mr. J eff Dickert as Kohler
School Superintendent. Hazard, Young,
Attea & Associates (HYA) of Glenview, IL
will conduct a national search for the best
qualified candidates.
HYA has over 20 years education search
experience and 112 associates throughout
the United States. Ms. Diane Venn, Chair of
the School Boards Human Resource com-
mittee, commented that HYA has the nec-
essary experience and contacts to complete
a successful search for the Kohler School
and community. They have done so for a
number of Wisconsin school districts and
all those that we contacted gave themhigh
marks. The search effort will cost the
school $15,000.
HYA has laid out an aggressive timetable
for completing the search with the objective
of having a replacement Superintendent in
place before J uly. They met with the School
Board on April 16 and began interviewing
Kohler School Board members and a vari-
ety of community groups on April 24. They
also held an open community meeting, for
anyone wishing to provide input, on April
28. These meetings will be guided by a
Leadership Profile Assessment Document,
which will result in a description of the
characteristics and skills needed for the
incoming Superintendent.
It is expected that HYA, if they dont run
into something unexpected, will complete
their recruiting and interviewing of prospec-
tive candidates by May 28. On that date, at
a special meeting with the Board, they plan
to present their recommended slate of candi-
dates. The Board will conduct first and final
interviews with candidates in early J une.
This would make it possible for the School
Board to hire a new Superintendent as close
to J uly 1 as possible.

Beds shook and windows rattled for
about 15-20 seconds according to some
area residents who happened to be awake
around 4:30 a.m. on Friday, April 18. The
U.S. Geological Survey reported that an
earthquake registering 5.2 on the Richter
scale was felt at least 450 miles away from
its epicenter, located six miles fromWest
Salem, Illinois.
I was awake very early. I looked at the
clock: 4:36 a.m. I suddenly felt I was in the
midst of a movie, because the bed was
shaking. I thought I was having a senior
moment. I dismissed it until I checked the
morning J S online news. I readily discov-
ered the answer to my question, wrote
Genevieve Eirich from Sheboygan on a
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel online forum.
A Sheboygan Falls resident identified
only as Liz on the same forumwrote, I felt
it. I thought it was my cat rubbing against
the bed, but he wasnt in my bedroom.
One Kohler family said their birds began
chirping frantically just before the time the
earthquake was reported to have occurred.
Many Illinois residents near the epicenter
also reported unusual behavior fromtheir
pets just before the trembling, which was
also felt in Chicago (where skyscrapers
shook), Cincinnati, and Des Moines.

A real knockout for
Mothers Day
by Tamra O'Keefe, M.A. School
Psychologist
Many students need guidelines in
order to develop appropriate work habits
to be successful in school. Educational
specialists Marguerite Radencich and
J eanne Shay SchummfromHow To Help
Your Child With Homework, and William
Strunk, J r. fromElementary Principals of
Composition, offer the following sugges-
tions for helping your child to improve
reading comprehension, math skills and
writing:
Reading Comprehension:
1.) Formpictures in your head of what
you are reading. If you struggle to do this,
keep a sheet of blank paper nearby and
draw the pictures.
2.) Name at least one thing in the story
that reminds you of something you
already know. This will connect with
prior material and help you access it
through memory later.
3.) Think of the most important parts
of the story or text. What is the main
idea? If you are reading a short story
or a novel, who are the main charac-
ters? What conflicts do the characters
face?
4.) Practice critical thinking. What was
your opinion of the reading? Did the
material make sense? Should the
author have presented the material in a
different way? Did the characters in
the story make good choices?
Math in Six Steps:
Math Problems can be intimidating,
but you can handle themeasier with
these steps:
1.) Read the full question.
2.) List the information given.
3.) Decide what needs to be figured out.
What do you need to find? What do you
need to do?
4.) Draw pictures. This is a way to simpli-
fy problems.
5.) Solve. Do the work twice. Consider
using a calculator for the second problemto
check your work.
6.) Check the results.
If you still have trouble, ask your
teacher, parent or a friend for help. But most
importantly, dont give up!
Paper Writing Rules:
Following a few basic rules can result in
papers that are better organized and easier
to read. Be sure to:
1.) Keep each paragraph to one subject. It
should include a topic sentence stating the
main idea.
2.) Refrain frombeing wordy. If five words
will work instead of ten, use five. Each
word should tell the reader something
important; if not, extra words can be cut.
3.) Use active voice instead of passive voice.
The boy ate the apple. is better than The
apple was eaten by the boy.
These techniques, like any new skill,
require six to eight weeks to become
ingrained. Try writing these steps on a lami-
nated note card and having your child refer-
ence themwhile doing work. After the steps
become a habit, you can pass the card along
to a younger child or friend.
How to help your children toward school success:
National History Day
Students use talents to create original
scholarly projects
by Monica LaBudde
The National History Day contest
engages students in grades 6-12 in discov-
ery and interpretation of historical topics
related to an annual theme. This years
theme is Conflict and Compromise.
The students use their individual talents
to create original and schoarly projects.
They spend significant time investigating
and analyzing both primary and secondary
sources related to a topic of their choice.
The projects can be in the formof exhibits,
performances, historical papers, documen-
taries, or web sites. The eighth grade stu-
dents worked diligently since November
on their National History Day projects.
This school year we had 26 eighth grade
students decide to compete at the junior
level on April 5 at UW-Green Bay in the
National History Day Regional competi-
tion.
Congratulations to all those who com-
peted. The following nine students will be
advancing to the state competition; Nicole
Beine, Erin J ohnson, Claire Hillstrom, Lily
Zehfus, Melyssa Louwagie, Kim
Lammers, Angela Sjolund, Rachel
O'Keefe, and Sarah Molepske. They are
working hard getting ready for the state
competition, which will take place at the
Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison
on May 3. If they advance fromstate
they will then compete at the National
level in Maryland fromJ une 15-19 this
summer. Good luck girls!

Kohler School Friends along with Kohler's Tourism
Promotion and Development Committee is excited to
host the 2nd annual Kohler Classic on Saturday, J une
14th starting at 9 a.m.
In 2007 more than 200 participants took part in the
Kohler Classic 5K Run/Walk and Children's 1 Mile
Run. This was an event where the ultimate reward
was combining family, fun and fitness, not necessarily
winning the race. Kohler School District continues to
prioritize physical fitness and encourage kids in
motion. This run, while providing motivation to adhere
to a healthy lifestyle and improve general fitness,
funds many activities and improvements for our
school. Last year's improvements included funding for
buses for student field trips, and enhancing education-
al programs. We are fortunate to live in a community
that embraces the importance of an active lifestyle for
all ages.
The Kohler Classic is an event that brings children,
parents, and the whole community together to encour-
age one another to stay active and celebrate every-
one's achievements. No matter what your age, run-
ning is wonderful exercise. An event like this offers
the chance to meet others who share your interest in
running, is a super way to have fun, and stay fit and
healthy.
There are two ways to register for the 2008 Kohler
Classic. You may print and mail an entry form (PDF)
from www.kohlerschoolfriends.com , or register in per-
son on Friday, J une 13th from 4 pm to 6:00 p.m. or on
Saturday, J une 14, at 7:30 a.m. at Kohler Schools.
Current fees are $15, 5K; and $7, 1mile children's run.
There will be awards for first, second and third place
in all age groups from junior kindergarten on up.
Thank you Wellness
Committee for your hard
work and dedication to
our children.

Animal Complaints
The Kohler Police Department has received several
complaints of animals at large in the Village, includ-
ing the cemetery. Cats and dogs are required to be
on a leash or chain not longer than six feet when off
their property. Animals that are on their property
must be controlled by voice command, fenced in,
or on a leash no longer than 15 feet. Please keep in
mind that not everyone in your neighborhood wants
your animal in their yard. Also, when walking your
animals, please pick up after them. Many people
use the green areas in the Village to exercise their
dogs without picking up after them. Please be cour-
teous to your fellow residents. No one wants to
complain about his or her neighbor.
