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.
School Board President Dr. Jane Bishop welcomes Dr. Robert
Kobylski as the new District Administrator.

12.
Lt. Col. Kometer, who graduated from

assigned to the 18th Flight Test Squadron,
also at Hurlburt Field, performing opera-
tional flight testing of special missions air-
craft for the Air Force Special Operations
Command.
In 1994, he was one of four USAF offi-
cers selected to attend Georgia Institute of
Technology for a masters degree geared
toward test and evaluation, where he was
honored as one of the top 1-graduates of the
School of Engineering. He went on to
accept an assignment in 1996 to the 413
FLTS at Edwards AFB to serve as Special
Projects Test Director. He subsequently
served as flight commander and operations
officer for the 89-person test unit.
In 2000, Lt. Colonel Kometer attended

Maxwell AFB, Alabama. He was a distin-
guished graduate and one of 25 individuals

School board considers
2008-09 budget,
enrollment decline, and
property tax implications
Submitted by Jeff Dickert
At the June school board meeting,
Superintendent Jeff Dickert presented an
estimate of the upcoming school years
budget. As expected, enrollment of Village
students will be lower in 2008 than in 2007,
the first decline in 6 years. This decline was
anticipated by the School Board, as well as
continuing declines in succeeding years.
The Village has had no residential develop-
ment initiatives during the last six years and
none are under consideration at this time.
The Kohler Co., independently of the
Village, is expected to begin developing an
area in the Town of Wilson early next year
that is within the Kohler School District.
This Kohler Co. residential development
should add to school enrollment and tax
base. Within a few years it is hoped that
approximately seven new students per year
will begin to come to Kohler Schools from
this development.
The school budget for next year is based
on an estimated 5 percent increase in
Kohlers property tax base. Without any
new residential or commercial property
being added to the tax rolls, this estimated
increase assumes the value of existing prop-
erty will appreciate by 5 percent Mr.
Dickert concluded. This means that the
Mill Rate could increase from 10.16 to
10.55 and for every $100,000 of equalized
assessed valuation homeowners can expect
an increase of roughly $40 on next years
property tax bill. Mr. Dickert also noted
that with no growth currently planned in the
Village of Kohler, tax bills will continue to
rise as the tax base is not developing with
new stores, industrial property, and houses.
Aglimmer of a tax reduction will take place
when the City of Sheboygan TIF, which is
within school district boundaries, ends in
roughly five years. This area includes part
of the City of Sheboygan new industrial
area east of Interstate 43 and south of
Acuity. The new Wal-Mart store is in this
area.
Revenue from the home district of
Kohler Schools out-of-district students
continues to supplement the Villages
school property tax revenue. This is critical
to maintaining the schools staff and pro-
grams and the schools core values and via-
bility.

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

Each student was accompanied by a par-
ent or guardian to participate, observe, and
learn as well. The R.E.S.T. of the topics cov-
ered were aimed at parents, Responsibilities,

Are you dreaming about
your yearly fishing trip to
Canada with the guys or plan-
ning a family vacation to the
Yucatn Peninsula? If your
vacation plans involve flying
back to the United States, be
sure to bring your passport
with you. Soon youll need
your passport to enter the
country by car or ship as well.
The Western Hemisphere
Travel Initiative (WHTI) is
designed to strengthen border security and
requires travelers to present certain docu-
ments to establish citizenship and identity
when entering the United States from
Canada, Mexico, Central America, South
America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. In
January, 2007, the government implement-
ed the first phase of the WHTI by requiring
travelers entering the U.S. by air to present
a valid passport or other secured document
at the point of entry. By June 1, 2009 all
travelers entering by land or sea must also
present a valid passport or other WHTI-
compliant document.
Through January, 2008, Custom and
Border Protection agents admitted travelers
at land and sea borders who said they were
U.S. or Canadian citizens. Now, U.S. and
Canadian citizens ages 19
and older must produce a
government issued photo ID
and proof of citizenship, such
as a birth certificate or natu-
ralization certificate when
entering at the U.S. border.
Children 18 and under need
only prove citizenship to
enter. As an alternative, trav-
elers may present a passport
as proof of citizenship and
identity.
After June 1, 2009, a passport will be the
best option to establish citizenship and
identity under the WHTI for most
Wisconsin residents. Apassport is the only
document accepted for air travelers, and a
Wisconsin drivers license and birth certifi-
cate will no longer be sufficient proof of
citizenship and identity for land and sea
travelers. If you dont bring your passport,
or other WHTI-compliant document, your
admission into the country will be delayed
while officers attempt to verify your citi-
zenship and identity. So, get those pass-
ports ready!

SUBJECT:
AREAS OF CONCERN
REGARDING OUR COUNTY
SERVICES AND FINANCES
Back in the early 1990s for example, our three
county Health Care facilities provided excel-
lent care and brought down our taxes.
What brought us to the conditions we face
today? Taxes have gone way up, care has gone
way down.
The answer is quite clear. The Health Care
Centers Committee was stacked for the most
part with County Supervisors who wanted to
turn things over to private operators.
Only one member, Carl Otte, tried to continue
the right positive control of Sunny Ridge, Rocky
Knoll and the Sheboygan County
Comprehensive Health Center.
The Health Care Centers Committee for the
most part, followed Michael Vandersteen. He
joined the committee in 1998 and became chair-
man in 2004.
Going back over the records, we find our facili-
ties showing a profit from 1990 to 2000.
Back in 1990 profits were over $2,000,000. By
the year 2000, profit dropped to $60,000.
In 2001 we had a $1,000,000 loss. In 2004 we
had a $5,000,000 loss, and over $6,000,000 by
2006.
Today we face another problem. Michael
Vandersteen will follow Bill Goehring as
Chairman of the Board.
As Board Chairman, Bill Goehring, in fact, had
led the way in getting rid of our county Health
Care Centers.

School Board
Approves New Staff
At the June Board of Education meeting, the School Board
announced the approval of the following staff additions or
changes for the 2008-09 school year:
Junior Kindergarten and lower Elementary Spanish
Teacher - Betty Bley
1st Grade Teacher- Kelly DeAmico
2nd Grade Teacher- Tonya Depagter
Middle school science teacher - Nicole Wallander
JV girls' swimming co-op coach - Lynn Lamers
The Kohler School District is pleased to add these talent-
ed, energetic teachers and coach to our faculty! exclaims
outgoing Superintendent Jeff Dickert. They bring a
wealth of knowledge and training that will inspire our stu-
dents and enrich their learning experience.
Candidates for the third grade teacher and an additional JK
teacher are still under consideration. Elementary School
Principal Susan Jaberg reports, We have excellent appli-
cants for these positions and anticipate they will be
approved by the Board at the July meeting.
That was the goodest lunch ever! exclaimed a satisfied first
grader.
Before school was dismissed in June, students ranging from
JK to twelfth grade had the opportunity to experience a taste
of things to come. Taher, Inc., offered a Taste of Taher
complete with onsite chefs working with the current food
service staff. On the menu was chicken and mozzarella pani-
ni with roasted vegetables, Firenze corn salad and fresh fruit.
All staff had a free lunch that day, and many parents attend-
ed to find out what the new lunch program was all about.
One thing for certain was that the first grader wasnt the only
one expressing her positive thoughts. Parents, staff and stu-
dents all seemed to enjoy the change and the taste.
Lunch will have a new look and taste this fall. The Board of
Education approved a one-year trial of Taher Food services as
Kohler School Districts food service provider. This decision
comes after two years of research and evaluation of a variety
of options.
Taher is a nationally recognized provider of healthy, fresh
meals for students. An investment in good nutrition and gen-
eral health is shown to directly affect academic performance,
states Jane Bishop, School Board of Education President,
The choice to go with a more nutritious lunch program also
supports of Kohler School District Core Values.
Kohler School District is unique in terms of its size and lack
of National School Lunch Program participants. As a result,
the district has limited buying power to purchase quality foods
at optimal prices and, therefore, must charge higher prices
then other public schools in the area. Taher is a large company
that services schools and other businesses in 5 states. They
will offer Kohler students and staff a greater variety of fresh,
New Lunch Program Provides Cornerstone for Wellness at Kohler Schools
healthy foods than the Kohler school lunch program could
afford to provide on its own.
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federal and
state funded program that helps lower the overall cost of lunch
and snacks based on students financial needs. The program
also provides foods to supplement the menu and reimburse-
ment for meals provided to qualifying students in public and
nonprofit private schools throughout the United States. This
reimbursement helps lower all students lunch price by a cer-
tain percentage determined by the federal government each
year. The challenge is to identify qualifying students. The
more accurate we can be in identifying those families who
need help, the more successful we can be in accessing NSLP
funds to bring costs down, reports outgoing Superintendent
Jeff Dickert. The District recognizes that food costs have
risen dramatically and assessing the viability of participating
in the National School Lunch Program is one way to help
bring costs down for everyone.
In conjunction with the lunch program, a Wellness Policy was
first introduced to the Board in May 2007. At that time, the
Policy Statement, Scope, and Rationale were approved. In
addition to the approval of the lunch program, a Wellness
Policy Implementation plan was also approved through the
2008-09 school year.
What is a Wellness Policy? In 2004, the federal government
passed a law requiring each local educational agency to estab-
lish a local school wellness policy. Wellness policies are
designed to improve nutrition available on campus, provide
education for students and staff that will help children make
healthier nutrition and lifestyle choices now and in the future.
In addition, they exist to set guidelines for students physical
activity. The national rise in childhood obesity, types I and II
diabetes, and high blood pressure was the impetus for making
these changes. Schools were chosen to address these issues
because all children are mandated to be in school and there-
fore are easier to reach and have significant impact. There is
also plenty of research to support the positive impact of good
nutrition and lifestyle choices on academic performance. In a
four-year experiment by the American Journal of Sports
Medicine with a Denver elementary school, results indicated a
significant increase in academic achievement while also
increasing daily attendance, decreasing nurse visits by 67%,
and decreasing discipline issues by 58%.
The Kohler School Board of Education also approved estab-
lishing a School Health Council as the first step in the process
of implementing the wellness policy guidelines throughout the
District. This group will be comprised of a cross-section of
administrators, teachers, students and health professionals and
exists to establish long-term procedures. By doing so, the dis-
trict creates an environment consistent with the Wellness
Policy. The Kohler School Friends Wellness Committee has
presented its research and now it is the Districts turn to take
the lead, stated School Board representative Jim ODonnell.
Although establishing such a group is new to Kohler School
District, it is not a new concept. A School Health Council is
the most logical way for a school district to make wellness
successful and is prevalent in most schools across the U.S.
with NSLP, Mr. ODonnell continued, it ensures the District
can create solutions that are realistic. If our teachers, students
and community are all part of the process, the program will
have the most success. The School Board requested a
progress update by this council in May, 2009.

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
AT the June School Board meeting School Board president
Jane Bishop appointed members to the five standing
School Board committees:
Finance Committee:
John Suralik (Chair) and Jim O'Donnell
Policy Committee:
Jane Bishop (Chair) and Laura Kohler
Human Resources Committee:
Diane Venn (Chair) and Jane Bishop
Curriculum and Instruction Committee:
Laura Kohler (Chair) and John Suralik
Building and Grounds Committee:
Jim O'Donnell (Chair) and Diane Venn
John Suralik was selected by the School Board members
on May 28th to fill the seat vacated by Gordon Wuthrich,
who resigned in May to relocate with his family to Tyler,
Texas. Mr. Suralik was one of five Village residents who
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.
Suralik is a CPA with a B.A. in accounting from Rutgers
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.

4th Quarter Honor Roll
Students receive Nancy
Klein Service award
The Senior Kindergarten class will increase next school year by
adding 11 out-of-district students. After last months decision to
add 16 out-of-district students to Junior Kindergarten, outgoing
Superintendent Jeff Dickert analyzed the budget impact of contin-
uing this practice in future years. He brought his conclusion to the
School Board at its last meeting. What he found was that the rev-
enue the 11 SK students would bring from their home district will
exceed expenses incurred during their elementary years by more
than $150,000. The School Board accepted his recommendation
and approved admitting the 11 additional SK students.
Mr. Dickert also explained that academic and financial benefits
were probable in the Middle and High School if elementary enroll-
ment could be maintained between 50 and 55 students per class.
He explained that an analysis of retention rates from Elementary
through Middle and High School classes indicates that once
enrolled, the same number of students almost always stay for the
full Kohler educational experience. Mr. Dickert recommended,
and the School Board adopted by its approval of adding the 11
additional JK students, that a three section elementary school
could and should be created by accepting enough out-of-district
JK students in future years to keep that class at approximately 50
students. The number of students in the upper classes could then
be 50 or more. This would allow the educational offerings in those
classes to be improved and expanded in valuable and affordable
ways. Also, once future growth in the Village or Town of Wilson
takes place, the District can slowly reduce their fiscal dependence
for program revenue from the Open Enrollment Program.
Projected revenue increase over expenses for seven years of sup-
plementing a three section elementary school with open enroll-
ment students is roughly $1,200,000.
The following students received the Nancy Klein Service award for helping in the cafeteria during the
school year.

Thank you for supporting the Kohler Wellness Program, committed to


health and nutritional education. http://www.kohlerwellness.com
The Wellness Committee would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all
the parents, school staff and community members who have supported the
first steps in establishing a comprehensive Wellness program for our dis-
trict. Many people have worked tirelessly and diligently in countless ways
over the past two years to bring about not only a new lunch service, but an
entire program of Wellness that will serve our students in new and wonder-
ful ways in the years to come.
As many of you have heard from your children, the Taste of Taher was
quite successful in generating interest for next year's school lunch which
will include from-scratch meals prepared by an on-site chef! We will also
continue to offer early-release Wednesday activities as well as other
opportunities to learn more about getting your child fit, healthy and ready
to learn. Please watch for more exciting Wellness news, programs and
activities during the 2008-09 school year.
THANK YOU!
Thanks goes out to Sue Fink and Bridget Long for allowing the members of the Kohler
High School Girls Basketball Team the opportunity to give back to the community and to
help make this years Kohler Classic a success. The girls volunteered their time on
Saturday, June 14th to direct runners on the course and offer water at the water stations.
As each runner passed, they were greeted with smiles or even the occasional high five.
Each of the girls had a great time helping the Kohler Classic run smoothly. Thank you
Mrs. Fink and Mrs. Long.

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
immediately.

Kohler Original Recipe Chocolate
of the Month Earl Grey Garden
Ganache
Sip a cup of tea in every bite of the Earl
Grey Garden Ganache.
The KOHLER Original Recipe Chocolates
chocolatiers steep authentic Mighty Leaf Teas
Earl Grey blend directly into hot heavy cream.
After the cream is deliciously infused, the tea
bags are removed and the cream is blended
into milk chocolate to create a rich ganache.
The ganache is carefully spooned into a
milk chocolate shell that is painted with a sig-
nature blue stripe. The chocolatiers seal the
ganache into the shell with another thin layer
of milk chocolate. Once the chocolates have
hardened, they are unmolded and drizzled with
accents of blue cocoa butter.
Enjoy these unique chocolates from the
candy case at the Craverie Chocolatier Caf
located at the Shops at Woodlake Kohler. The
Earl Grey Garden Ganache is also available as a
part of the 10-piece variety box of Garden
Ganache available at the Craverie, Woodlake
Market and the Emporium at The American
Club or online at www.KOHLERchocolates.com
