New forms streamline applications for additions,
accessory buildings, signs, fences
In an effort to make applying for permits
to build new structures more user-friendly,
the Village Plan Commission recently
developed and approved a set of one-page
forms for home additions and decks, tempo-
rary signs, accessory buildings (e.g.,
detached garages or storage/sheds), and
fences. The top half of each new form spells
out the basic regulations for the particular
type of structure, and the bottom half pro-
vides a checklist of the supporting docu-
ments, such as site plans, photos, letters,
etc. that are needed from teh applicant.
Plan Commission Chairperson Jan
Homiston, who along with Village Public
Works Superintendent Bruce Neerhof and
Village President Tom Leonhardt helped
create the forms, said the forms should take
Board of Education thanks community
for input in superintendent search
The Kohler Board of Education
expressed their farewells to outgoing dis-
trict administrator Jeff Dickert at the June
16 meeting. Mr. Dickert invited Dr. Robert
Kobylski, the new administrator, to attend
the June School Board meeting to become
familiar with the issues and concerns as
well as the successes the District has expe-
rienced recently.
Following is a statement released by the
Board to the community:
On behalf of the School District of
Kohler Board of Education we would like
to thank every one of our stakeholders who
participated in the assessment to supply us
with information to help clarify the desired
characteristics of a new superintendent.
Based on information obtained in the
interviews and questionnaires from parents,
staff, students, and community members,
the consultants and board sought an innova-
tive educational leader who exemplified the
following characteristics:
Highly visible, collaborative leader
capable of creating, communicating and
implementing a shared vision for the
Districts future that inspires others to do
their best in an environment of mutual
trust and respect.
Knowledgeable regarding research-
based educational programs and trends
in JK-12 teaching and learning.
Solid budgetary and fiscal management
skills with knowledge of long-term
financial planning and strategies.
Data driven decision-maker who is
accountable and holds others account-
able for student performance.
Exceptional oral and written communi-
cation skills.
Balanced leader with experience that
blends with the needs of the District.
Hands on leader who seeks input and
respects opposing views of students,
staff, parents, and/or community mem-
bers.
Active, engaged ambassador for the
District who works collaboratively with
the Village of Kohler and the business
community to insure that the interests of
the District and its students are under-
stood.
After an extensive search process a first
round of interviews with five candidates
was conducted. The top two candidates
were invited to a second interview where
more questions were asked and the spouses
were met. The boards first choice, Dr.
Robert Kobylski, was offered the position,
and he enthusiastically accepted.
some of the confusion out of the process for
applicants. This way, everyone will know
exactly what they need to do before they
begin a project. As an added benefit, the
checklists will help the Plan Commission
see at a glance whether everything is in
order when a proposal comes before the
group.
Currently, the forms are available at the
Village Hall in the Clerks Office and the
Public Works Department. There are also
plans to put the forms on the Village website
in PDF format to enable prospective appli-
cants to conveniently download and print
the appropriate form on their home or busi-
ness computer.

Dr. Robert Kobylski was previously the
principal of Cedarburg High School and
has extensive experience as a teacher,
administrator and school board member.
Kobylski received his B.B.A. in
Economics, and his M.Ed. and Ed.D. in
Curriculum and Instruction from Loyola
University in Chicago. He worked for the
Chicago Board of Trade as an independent
floor trader and at Smith Barney Shearson
as a portfolio manager for ten years before
changing careers and following his passion
into education. He was a high school social
science teacher at the Dunbar Career
Academy in Chicago for six years where
he taught inner-city students. In the last
year of his tenure at the academy, Dr.
Kobylski served as the high school curricu-
lum coordinator.
Kobylski was assistant high school
principal at Brooks College Prep Academy
in Chicago in from 2003-2006. Among his
many achievements at this facility, he
improved staff development opportunities,
initiated a curriculum enhancement pro-
gram that resulted in a threefold increase in
advanced placement offerings within two
years, reviewed school-wide internal and
standardized assessment practices, and
managed all budgetary processes.
In 2006, Dr. Kobylski became high
school principal for the Cedarburg School
District. In this position, he achieved many
positive changes including creating a cul-
ture of data driven decision making using
various assessments tools, emphasized staff
enrichment opportunities, and modeled the
use of effective cooperative learning and
recognized best practice methodology. His
passion for curriculum and instruction con-
tinued to be a focus of his efforts in this dis-
trict as it had been in his previous positions.
In the surveys sent out to the Kohler
School staff, students, parents and the com-
munity when we began our search for the
new superintendent, the characteristics of
integrity, strong leadership, excellent com-
municator, astute financial skills, and col-
laborative work ethic were consistent across
all groups, explains Kohler School Board
President Jane Bishop, We believe that Dr.
Kobylski meets all these criteria in addition
to a strong commitment to curriculum,
instruction and helping children achieve
their full potential academically, socially
and emotionally.
Dr. Kobylski also served on the Lemont-
Bromberek Combined School District Pre
K-8 School Board for three years and as
president of that board for one year. We
were impressed by the balance of his expe-
rience both from the teaching and adminis-
trative side as well as the Board of
Education perspective, commented Kohler
School Board member Diane Venn and
chair of the Human Resources Committee.
He has a well rounded understanding of all
factors that are involved in effectively man-
aging a school district.
Outgoing Superintendent Jeff Dickert
invited Dr. Kobylski to attend the June
school board meeting to become familiar
with the issues and concerns as well as the
successes our district has experienced
recently. Staff and community members in
attendance at the meeting had the opportuni-
ty to meet the new district administrator.
Dr. Kobylski and I have arranged meetings
in the coming weeks to go over all aspects
of the superintendent position to insure a
smooth and successful transition, reports
Mr. Dickert.

Dear Amy,
With all the gloom and doom
news that we hear nowadays, is
now the time to buy or sell a
home?
First I would like to say I under-
stand your concerns. It seems it is
all we hear on the radio and TV today. I
would like to remind you that Sheboygan
County has a very strong job economy
and that things are not as bad here as the
news would have you believe!
If a buyer has a home to sell prior to
purchasing another, they may not see the
net proceeds they did a year ago , but they
will reap the benefit when they are ready
to purchase. If they have considered own-
ing rental property, now is a great time to
begin their real estate portfolio. If a client
is upgrading and his next step up is a price
range that is sluggish, they may end up
being a big winner in the purchase. I also
see that interest rates are very low and
think now is a great time to buy or sell! If
you would like to schedule a time to learn
more about the market conditions and
how it affects your home, I would be
happy to come to your home so we could
discuss your concerns or needs per-
sonally. Visit my Web site at:
www.AmyGutschow.com or Please call
me at 377-1948
I look forward
to hearing from you!

On May 28, 2008 Dominic Fiorini was
awarded the Kohler School Foundation
Scholarship. Since 2002, the Kohler School
Foundation has provided a scholarship to a
graduating senior who demonstrates growth
and leadership in the areas of self, family,
school and/or community as a result of the
students Kohler High School Experience.
While at Kohler Schools, Fiorini best
demonstrated this leadership and growth on
the track and field team. His coach, Mr.
Duane Dumez, often noted his selfless atti-
tude, positive perspective and pursuit of
perfection. Dominic is a quality person
and strives to do his best at whatever task he
is assigned or volunteers for, said Dumez.
I believe his success as a track participant,
his willingness to learn, his dedicated work
ethic, and his ability to get along with oth-
ers speaks volumes about him. In addi-
tion, Fiorini was a seventh grade English
class teaching assistant and a captain of the
football team. He also extended his leader-
ship into the Village where he helped coach
children who wanted to learn to play flag
football.
Fiorini will apply the $3,000 Kohler
School Foundation Scholarship toward his

At the June 16
th
Board of Education meeting, the Board
of Education approved the Finance and Building and
Grounds Committees recommendation to:
1. Establish an Ebben Field Ad Hoc Committee.
Members to include:
a. Board members Jim ODonnell and Diane Venn
b. Superintendent Robert Kobylski
c. Community Members: Doug Bocchini, Jeff
Giffin, Julie Steinert, and Karen Hogan
2. Authorize the Building and Grounds (B&G)
Committee to work with the Ad Hoc Committee with
regard to their planning and activities. B&G will
keep the Board informed and, where necessary,
obtain any additional Board approvals.
School Board member Diane Venn has frequently raised
concerns about the condition of Ebben Field. The
Districts tight financial situation has prevented the Board
from addressing these issues for too many years,
explained Ms.Venn, However, a group of Village resi-
dents has met twice with Jim ODonnell and me and has
proposed leading a fund raising effort so that the Board
can move forward with the necessary renovation and, if
possible, the expansion of Ebben Field. These residents
now comprise the Community Members group noted in
the Ad Hoc Committee description.
The Ebben Field Ad hoc Committee will work closely
with Kohler School Foundation and Kohler School
Friends to ensure that fund raising efforts and each orga-
nizations specific mission are understood by prospective
donors. The Village is fortunate to have such generous
support for the Kohler School academic programs and
campus development. The Board wants to make sure
Ebben Field Renovation Proposal
potential patrons are clear about what area their contribu-
tion will benefit so that they can make choices that meet
their specific criteria and wishes, said School Board Vice
President Jim ODonnell.
In conjunction with the formation of the Ad Hoc
Committee, the School Board Building and Grounds
Committee introduced recommendations for the renovation
of Ebben field. Outgoing Superintendent Jeff Dickert first
brought the deteriorated condition of the Ebben Field facil-
ity to the attention of the Building and Grounds committee
almost two years ago. Since that time he developed a list of
issues that need immediate attention and, at the
Committees request, suggested additional facilities that
should be considered in order to expand and upgrade the
Field for student and community use. Mr. Dickert present-
ed estimates to the B&G and Finance Committees for the
renovation plans at approximately $800,00 and an addition-
al $700,000 for the upgrade considerations.
The last major maintenance work done at the Field was
resurfacing the track in 1987. That surface work has since
eroded causing dangerous cracks and uneven surfaces that
threaten the safety of our athletes and community members
who use the facility. Other areas needing immediate repair
or replacement include the bleachers, scoreboards, sound
system, press box and storage area. The game field needs to
be re-crowned in order to level the playing surface and have
watering capability added to maintain the grass. The facili-
ty is also not in compliance with ADAaccessibility require-
ments, making it very difficult or impossible for those with
special mobility limitations or other disabilities to attend
events. These concerns form the basis of the renovation pro-
posal submitted by the B&G Committee.
Board Officers and
Committees for 2008-09
School Year Finalized

applied for the open seat.
John Suralik, his wife Margaret, and two children have
been Kohler residents for nine years. His children Kelly
(11th grade) and Gregory (7th grade) attend Kohler Public
School. He has 25 years of financial experience and is cur-
rently Vice President and Treasurer of the Kohler Co. Mr.

University and an MBA from Columbia University. Mr.
Suraliks extensive financial expertise and his personal
experience with Elementary, Middle and High School at
Kohler will be a great value to the Board as it addresses
the opportunities and challenges our District faces in the
years to come, said School Board President Jane Bishop.

Soliciting without permits
The Village of Kohler has been experi-
encing an increase in door-to-door
salespersons soliciting without first
obtaining permits. The fees for the per-
mits are nominal, but the important
aspect is that the Village is aware of
exactly who is soliciting. Background
checks can be run and only legitimate
organizations are allowed to solicit. If
someone is soliciting legally, they will
not be upset if they are asked to see
their permit. If no permit has been
issued, please send them on their way
and contact the police department
