July storm leaves a path of
damage in Kohler
Severe thunderstorm warnings were in
effect on July 16 for an area that included
the Village of Kohler, but the system took
area residents by surprise when it produced
a tornado that touched down just west of
Kohler near the intersection of highways 23
and 32 in Sheboygan Falls, causing consid-
erable damage to a barn. Fortunately for
Kohler, the tornado estimated to be
between an F0 and F1 appeared to lift
back up just before approaching Kohler.
Damage from the system was primarily
limited to power failures, uprooted trees,
and a malfunctioning of the emergency
warning siren located on the roof of the
school. Because the sirens electrical panel
is located on the exterior, pounding rain
forced water leakage into the panel causing
a short in the electrical system. The breaker
had to be turned off to finally silence the
confused siren, but a system was put in
place to allow Kohler police to immediate-
ly access the breaker had the need arisen to
reactivate the siren.
Felled branches and debris caused
Highland Avenue to be almost impassible,
forcing drivers to slowly snake their cars
around the debris. Acommand post was set
up almost immediately by Kohler Police
Chief Bill Rutten and Lieutenant David
Darin, and 21 firefighters and eight DPW
crew members responded to help clear the
debris and assist people. Chief Rutten
reported that the Village was back to func-
tioning three hours after the event, except
for isolated areas that remained without
power.
Village President Tom Leonhardt said
residents in the hardest hit area, located in
the northwestern section of the Village near
Sir Howard Circle, were to be commended
for gathering together and going house to
house to help neighbors cut up fallen trees
and haul branches to the curb.
The property of Donald and Arlene
Kraus on Woodland Road was also hard hit.
Several large trees were blown over, one of
them crushing the roof of a car that was
parked beside the garage. Mr. Kraus said he
almost moved an antique wooden boat that
he had spent five years refurbishing from
his garage to where the car sat, but had
decided not to. He was glad he didnt,
because the boat wouldve been destroyed
by the massive tree.
Chief Rutten said that although Kohler
didnt need aid from the FEMA grant that
was made available June 5 to Sheboygan
County when it was declared a federal dis-
aster area due to spring flooding, the
Village is still eligible to apply for aid to
help recoup losses from the July 16 storm
damage, because the FEMA grant deadline
doesnt expire until July 28. Rutten esti-
mates that FEMAwill pay for 75 percent of
the damage, which includes repair of the
siren which is estimated to cost $2,600.
Rutten said residents needing assistance
would receive information from in their
mailboxes from a FEMA team that was
expected to survey the damage in Kohler.

The Kohler Villager enters its
fourth year of publication
The Kohler Villager was launched three
years ago with the publishing of the August,
2005 issue. The venture was the brainchild
of Kohler resident Mary Struck, who for
several years had been contracted by Kohler
Schools to handle the production of the
schools newsletter the Kohler Times. Due
to rules that appy to non-profit publications
such as a school newsletter, the Kohler
Times was not able to accept for-profit
advertising or personal announcements.
Struck responded by producing an advertis-

Dear Amy,
Were looking for answers
regarding the current real estate
market. Weve followed all the rules,
done everything by the book. Its
even priced under appraised value
and still it hasnt had any showings
in over a month...What can we do?
I understand your frustration and
it may help to know you are far
from alone. You only have to find
ONE buyer, so hang in there! One impor-
tant thing I would mention is that
appraisals are for taxes...Your home is
only worth what people are willing to pay
for it. That is the real appraisal.
We are in a Buyers Market...What
does that mean??? Well, the best analogy
I can come up with is in regards to fish-
ing.
We now have many, many, many
hooks in the pond all with attractive bait-
but there are only a few fish out there
looking to eat...
Make your hook and bait the most
attractive any way you can and hopefully
youll be the next to catch that big fish!
If I can help in any way, please give
me a call or visit my web site for more
market condition reports at:
www.AmyGutschow.com or please call
me at 377-1948.
I look forward
to hearing from you!

organizations in Wisconsin. I hope to learn
much from both instructors and those who
have led organizations throughout the
world. I hope to gain new knowledge and
insights which will benefit all of Cedar

Swimnastics class may be longest
running Village program
In 1976, Laura Drew of Kohler began
attending a swimnastics class at the Kohler
Village pool. According to Drew, the class
was started by Jeanne Wolf as part of a
requirement when she was a physical edu-
cation student at UW-La Crosse. After
Wolf moved on, Drew and Marge Horneck
of Kohlerboth good swimmersagreed to
keep the class going. They took the Water
Safety Instructor course offered by the Red
Cross that was taught at Sheboygan North
High. The course required swimming 20
laps of the pool on a regular basis. The two
ladies finished the class on Drews 36th
birthday, just two months after the birth of
her daughter, Shannon. Drew and Horneck
kept the Kohler swimnastics class going by
alternating between teacher and attendee.
Horneck eventually branched out to
teaching at the Sports Core and the
Sheboygan Rec Department, while Drew
continued to teach at the Village pool. Her
goal was to keep the class going and grow-
ing, while allowing Drew the opportunity
to give back into the Villagesomething
she strongly believes in.
Classes changed in content and struc-
ture depending on the participants.
Sometimes we used music. The first tape
was something we acquired from Jean
Quicker, the then swimnastics instructor
for Sheboygan. Later on we taped music
we liked that lent itself to exercising.
Sinatras New York, New York was one
of those songs. I can still see us sliding
across the pool in rhythm to his words,
Drew said.
Children were not allowed. It was a time
for adults only. Current participants range
in age from 50 to 80, but all adults are wel-
come. The group recently had a surprise
80th birthday celebration for one of its
long-time attendees, Laverne Gier, who
has been taking the class for more than 20
years. She would walk 3 miles to the class,
then continue on to her teaching job after-
ward.
Classes were originally held in the
mornings, but changes were made over the
years to accommodate moms returning
from dropping off kindergartners at school.
For awhile, classes were held during the
early afternoon hours, with baby sitting
services available in the youth center.
Moms using the service had to give up
swimming on a rotating basis to staff the
service. Drew said one morning she
received a call from Jeannine Thompson
apologizing that she was unavailable to staff
the service that day due to having just given
birth to her third daughter. But she had
swum 2 days before that.
For many years the class did not have
any males attending. Then a few showed up
needing low-stress exercise after suffering
knee, cardiac or back problems.
Some of the long-timers in the class
include Laverne Gier, Dorothy Schaetz,
Donna TenPas, Judy Kattreh, Mary Ann
Weeden, Carita Klein, Barbara Mueller,
Kathy Mallon, Pat Von Rautenkranz and
many others whose names Drew said she
has forgotten.
New attendees typically arrive as a guest
of someone who has been attending the
class for some time and rave about the ben-
efits. Or they may read about it in the news-
paper or hear about it while at another
Village program. Participants have brought
their visiting mother, aunt, sister, etc. The
class is easy to enjoy with minimal instruc-
tion and is conducted in the shallow end of
the pool. Folks come rain or shine. They
show up in blizzards . . . fog has not proven
a deterrent. We have swum on the Friday
after Thanksgiving, Labor Day, and the 4th
of July if it is on the right day of the week,
Drew said.
The class has provided physical therapy
for some folks with physical ailments from
knee, hip, and shoulder rehabbing, to relief
of arthritic pain and fibromyalgia limita-
tions. It has provided cardiac, joint, and bal-
ance/stretching exercises.
Drew said participants have shared
recipes, names of reliable contractors to
others needing work around the home, sor-
rows and joys of one anothers lives, fami-
lies and neighborhoods, and names of
physicians considered reliable and compas-
sionate. We sought advice for raising chil-
dren and adult children, shepherding grand-
children through a new and different world
without being overbearing, painting walls
stained with age and full of cracks, cleaning
carpets with ease and success, gardening in
overgrown areas without casting out the
flowers instead of the weeds, entertaining
guests with the least amount of effort but
with success. Drew said.
Classes are updated through the efforts of
both Drew and Susie Wandschneider,
Kohlers Recreation Department director.
An Automated External Defibrillator
(AED) is available on site and personnel
have appropriate training should a cardiac
episode arise. Drew has a lengthy back-
ground in occupational health nursing, hav-
ing taken many courses in emergency
response and preparedness. This back-
ground permits her to be very aware of any
limits that an individual may have with
regard to certain exercises. Drew said they
do ask that class participants share any med-
ical condition that may need attention dur-
ing a class, ie. diabetes, seizures, cardiac
history. Participants on medication keep her
informed as to its location should it be need-
ed in an emergency.
Drew credits Wandschneider along with
the Village and its crew for helping her to
sustain this valuable service for 32 years. It
has the support of the Village crew who
maintain the building at an 82 degree temp
and the water at 84 degrees. The water is
crystal clean, the locker rooms tidy, and
repairs made on a regular basis. In the win-
ter the walks are shoveled and salted prior
to class. The area in the back of the building
is cleared and suitable for one of our partic-
ipants to use safely despite walking with the
aid of a tripod cane. Because the Village
crew take good care of us, she is able to
attend class with minimal interruption due
to weather, Drew said. Because we live in
this Village, the class is a success. I can
teach any time, any day. The Village crew
keeps the facilities in top notch shape. The
Village officials and Susie Wandschneider
support me in my efforts to provide this
opportunity while putting back into my
Village. For this, I am grateful.
The class currently consists of aerobics,
balance, and stretching exercises. Noodles
and exercise barbells are provided. Music
provides a rhythm to facilitate movement.
Classes meet on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday from 6:45 to 8:15 a.m.

Kohler Boy Scouts trek 120
miles at New Mexico ranch
Eight local boys and four adult advisors
recently returned from a 120 mile, twelve
day trek on the trails of Philmont Scout
Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico.
Coordinated by advisor Dr. Dwight
Dyksterhouse, the group backpacked over
as many as 16 miles in a day over extreme-
ly arduous terrain and altitudes ranging
from 6,500 to 12,600 feet on the peak of
Mt. Baldy.
Speaking of the trek, Scoutmaster John
Williams commented: Philmont is the ulti-
mate scouting experience. The boys worked
hard and played hard and we hope gained
insight into their individual capacity to
overcome challenge and adversity.
Planning for the trip began four years ago
and each scouts stamina was improved
from prior trips to the Boundary Waters
Canoe Areas of Northern Minnesota, the
Porcupine Mountains in Upper Michigan,
Devils Lake State Park in Baraboo, and Isle

Added Dyksterhouse, The trip was high
adventure in its truest form. Our many
hours of planning paid off as the boys and
equipment worked well together and the
crews commitment to teamwork ensured
the success of all the boys.

Open house
scheduled to
honor retiring
scoutmaster
An open house will be held to honor the
retirement of John Williams as Troop 831
Scoutmaster. Past and present scouts and
parents, as well as friends of scouting and
friends of Williams who would like to take
part in recognizing Williams service to the
Kohler Boy Scouts are invited to attend the
open house on Sunday, August 17th from
2:00 - 4:00 p.m. (special recognition at
2:30) at the Kohler Village Hall.
For more information or to contribute to
a special gift for Williams, contact Liesl
Schneider at 457-0273 or liesl@charter.net
the crew received recognition by receiving
the Philmont Scout Ranch Duty to God
Award. Said Markus Anderson crew chap-
lain aide; We wanted to not only complete
our trek but also grow from the experience.
I am proud that we also used the experience
to consider the importance of our respec-
tive religious faiths and the role that faith
has in our lives.
Finally, crew leader David Olmsted
noted; Our crew worked well together.
When any one member struggled the crew
stepped up with encouragement and some-
times physical help. The mountain views
were amazing and the many planned events
along the trek such as mining, burro racing,
skeet shooting, rock climbing and rap-
pelling, and horseback riding were fun.
Any boy or adult interested in learning
more about Kohler Scouting is encouraged
to call John Williams at 459-7475 or Steve
Schneider at 457-0273. Meetings are each
Monday night during the school year at the
Kohler Scout House from 7:00 to 8:00 PM.
Troop 831 is sponsored and chartered
locally by the Kohler Police Athletic
League with additional support from
Kohler Kiwanis.

Man with a heart of gold gives
to cancer fund
Husband of late Julee Loose (former Kohler Schools custodian) unloads 28 lbs. of coins
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. July 3, 2008
Scott Loose, 47, of Sheboygan, donated 28
lbs. of spare change to Route 43 Harley-
Davidsons Coins for Cancer Care drive
on July 2. Loose, who recently lost his wife
to cancer, shrugged off the act of generosi-
ty by saying, I just wanted to help.
Looses late wife, Julee (who was a cus-
todian at Kohler Schools) passed away last
year from lung cancer. The anomaly of this
seemingly tough Harley biker with a heart
of gold doesnt end with a big bag of silver.
In addition to raising their 15-year-old
daughter, Hanna, Loose is on the waiting
list for a heart transplant but that seems to
be the least of his concerns.
Everyones affected by cancer in one
way or another, said Loose. It takes a
community to make a difference.
A 144-gallon container stands promi-
nently near the entrance of the dealership,
enticing customers to lean over to peek at
the sparkling coins that will someday be
used to help individuals with cancer. The
Coins for Cancer Care drive is part of a
series of events the dealership is hosting to
raise contributions for the Sheboygan
County Cancer Care Fund (SCCCF).
Its reassuring to find someone within
our own community as caring and selfless
as Scott, said Chad Koeppel, sales manag-
er of Route 43 Harley-Davidson. Hes
really exceptional.
Several customers anonymously gave
large sums of money, while others came in
with large pails of coins. For every pound of
change, a donator receives a raffle ticket for
a chance to win one of five prizes that will
be drawn at the dealerships Open House on
Sept. 27, 2008.
We like to think of ourselves as a mini-
Make-A-Wish foundation, said Tim
Renzelmann, vice president, volunteer and
occasional Beacon of Hope mascot for
SCCCF. Our main goal is to help individu-
als manage medical costs and living expens-
es, as well as provide life-enhancing servic-
es like installing hand controls on a vehicle
for someone whos lost the use of his lower
extremities, or a weekend get-away.
SCCCF partners with many local busi-
nesses every year, including Sunset Hills
Golf Course in Sheboygan Falls, which
donates the course for a day. Over the last
three years, the money raised at the annual
Beacon of Hope/Rally for a Cure Golf
Outing has been split between the Susan G.
Koman breast cancer research foundation
and the SCCCF. Ed Kirchenwitz, co-owner
and manager of Sunset Hills Golf Course,
said that last year over $13,000 was donated
to the SCCCF and hopes for more this year.
On July 12, Route 43 sponsored their sec-
ond annual Ride to Survive event in mem-
ory of Karen A. Ullerich, a motorcyclist who
passed away last year after a long battle with
cancer. The ride was started in memory of
Dave Bratz, a long-time Harley rider and
cancer victim.
Koeppel, who led the cancer ride with
Erik Kammann, explained, It gives a new
meaning to our mantra, Live to Ride. Ride
to Live.
The drive at Route 43 Harley Davidson
also featured a monthly raffle of a basket of
goodies generously donated by Woodlake
Market in Kohler. For more information
about Coins for Cancer Care or Ride to
Survive, contact Chad Koeppel at (920)
458-0777.
To participate in this years sixth annual
Beacon of Hope/Rally for a Cure golf out-
ing, on Aug. 9 from 7 a.m. 7 p.m., golfers
can pre-register by calling (920) 467-0780.
The event features a brat fry, corn roast,
silent auction, and raffle. The cost is $35
per golfer, which covers the course fee,
attendance package, and lunch.

information about the Sheboygan County
Cancer Care Fund, visit www.scccf.org.

organization are online.

Cyclists and racers, get
ready for Tour De Road
America bike ride to fight
cancer!
Countdown is on for the 5th Annual
event in Elkhart Lake
Elkhart Lake, WI Its July, and that means
three things for cycliststhe days are long
and warm ideal for biking. The Tour de
France is on TV. And the countdown is on
for the return of the Tour de Road America
Bike Ride to Fight Cancer presented by
Delta Dental at Elkhart Lakes Road
America race track.
Held annually since 2004, the ride unites
local cyclists, race car drivers, race fans,
families, and cancer survivors for a
fundraising ride on the 4.048-mile auto rac-
ing circuit.
The family-friendly event is Friday,
August 8, 2008 at approximately 6:45 P.M.,
following the days auto racing activities.
The ride is open to cyclists of all abilities
and all kinds of bikes.
Proceeds of the fundraiser support the
cancer survivorship, advocacy, education,
and research programs of the Lance
Armstrong Foundation, the Hole-in-the-
Wall Gang Camp, and the Vince Lombardi
Cancer Clinic. Organizers expect three- to
four-hundred participants to take to the
track next month.
For many participants, the tour is a
highlight of their cycling season. For auto
racing fans, its a unique chance to ride
along side their racing heroes from the
American Le Mans, Atlantics
Championship, Speed World Challenge,
and other racing series. Avid cyclists enjoy
the challenge of the hills and 14-turns of the
circuit. Families like the wide smooth pave-
ment and traffic-free, controlled environ-
ment. And cancer survivors and advocates
can demonstrate their commitment to LIVE
STRONG, the motto of the Lance
Armstrong Foundation.
For Robb Holland, driver of the DRC
Motorsports Lexus IS-GTF in the Speed
World Challenge series, the Tour de Road
America combines his passion for cycling
with his current profession as a race car
driver. Holland, who was previously a pro
cyclist, said Surprisingly, there are many
similarities between motorsports and
cycling. I think that is why I was able to be
on the pace relatively quickly once I made
to move to cars. It also gives you a level of
fitness that very few other drivers can
match.
Im pretty amped to ride the track, said
Holland. But at the end of the day, the best
thing about the ride is the cause it supports.
It really is amazing to talk to some of the
cancer survivors and hear their stories and
how much events like this mean to them. I
am glad that I can be a small part in some-
thing that means so much.

tration, visit www.pelotonride.org or

Kohler Schools students (and siblings) Kevin, Katie and Adam Wilkens meet the new Kohler Schools District
Administrator, Dr. Robert Kobylski, during a meet and greet on July 9.
Kohler sees rash
of thefts and
criminal damage
The Kohler Police Department reports that during one
night within the last month approximately a dozen vehi-
cles were broken into or damaged in the area of Aspen
Road. All the incidents appear to be related. Several of the
thefts were from vehicles that were left unlocked, some in
driveways.
Though Kohler residents typically respect their neigh-
bors property and have a sense of community and securi-
ty, there are a few that ruin it for everyone. Thats why the
Police Department is emphasizing that everyone lock
vehicles to prevent falling victim to thieves.
The KPD asks that if any residents see or hear some-
thing out of the ordinary or that seems suspicious, or has
any information on the recent rash of thefts/criminal dam-
age, to please call the Police Department at 459-3977.
Residents are also reminded that curfew is 10:30 pm
for those under 17, which helps keep these types of inci-
dents down.
recently increased from 1,200 to 1,400
copies after placement in a new display
area next to the Woodlake Market exit.
Visitors to the Village have been emptying
the rack quite rapidly.
Though many businesses around the
county are still unaware that Kohler has a
community newspaper, most advertisers
who contact me have discovered the paper
through word of mouth, so keep getting the
word out! And feel free to take a copy or
two from Woodlake Market to leave at your
place of employment.

Superintendent notes:
July 22, 2008
It gives me special pleasure to pen my first letter to the
Kohler learning community. Please know that I am grateful
and honored to have the opportunity to serve as your new
superintendent. My family and I truly appreciate the warm
welcome, as well as the encouragement and support that
have been universally offered since our arrival on July 1st.
Kohler is clearly a learning community with an extraordi-
nary commitment to excellence. I look forward to begin-
ning my journey with you as we endeavor to take the
Kohler Public Schools to new heights.
There is much to look forward to as we look to the start
of the 2008-2009 school year. Our aim is not just to be a
good school but a great school. Great schools dare to care,
they offer a future and a hope, teach young people to dream
and show them how to make these dreams a reality. Great
schools believe that every single student is talented in some
way. They say to their students: you can be someone if
you are prepared to work for it. Good schools do things
well; great schools have the buzz of excellence.
I was pleased to learn that a high level of parent and
community involvement exists at the Kohler Public
Schools. We have very active parent organizations whose
members are dedicated to helping provide a quality educa-
tion for all students. We encourage all parents to stay
involved in their childs education by helping out at any of
our many school activities. In a recent study of factors that
improve student performance, parental involvement had the
greatest impact of all! Your childs continuing success
depends on your involvement.
At the Kohler Public Schools we place a high value on
effective communication, and we will make every effort to
facilitate helpful and open communication throughout the
school year. A new communication tool this year will be
monthly Coffee with the Superintendent sessions. These
informal gatherings will allow for valuable and immediate
two-way communication between our stakeholders. A
schedule of Coffee with the Superintendent sessions will
be published next month. I very much look forward to our
future discussions.
Lastly, Kohler is a great place to live and learn and I
pledge to do all that I can do to ensure that every student,
parent, staff and community member has a positive, pro-
ductive, and memorable year. I look forward to serving you.
Should you wish to speak with me
personally on any matter, please do
not hesitate to call the school at
920-459-2920.
Yours in education,
Dr. Robert Kobylski

3rd Annual
Booster Club Golf
Outing a Success
July 28th, Town and Country Golf Club was
alive with laughter, sharing of memories, and
some golfing too.
The 3rd annual Kohler Booster Club golf out-
ing was enjoyed by 104 golfers, including 50
Kohler Alumni. The 18-hole scramble format
allows everyone to have fun.
Mother nature was nice enough to let all the
golfers finish before she locked them in the club-
house to enjoy a great lunch and continue with
socializing and camaraderie.
Two teams tied for first at 13 under - The
Scheppmann team consisting of Alex Gray, Dan
Gray, Nick Scheppman and Curt Sheppmann; and
the Peters Team with Mike, Ryan, Jon and Jenna
Peters. The Scheppman team won the Tie
Breaker.
In every event there is always a winner, but
the true winner on that day are the athletes who
benefit from the golfers, volunteers, and the very
generous sponsors that support the Booster Club.
Thank you to everyone and we will see you
next year on June 27, 2009.

Lee Benish to serve as
interim principal of
Kohler Schools
Lee Benish will serve as interim principal for Kohler
Schools for the next year after the position was vacated by
Lance Northey.
Benish was a principal at Sheboygan South High
School from 1998 through 2007. Prior to that, he was a
teacher for nine years in northern Wisconsin. He has taught
a golf class through the Sheboygan Recreation Department
for six years, and he was a former high school varsity
coach. He is currently the coordinator of the fitness center
at Sheboygan North and South.
Benish said his goals during his time at Kohler Schools
is to get to know students on a first-name basis, as well as
getting to know parents something he wasnt able to
accomplish at Sheboygan South where he was one of three
principals in charge of 1,550 students and 275 staff mem-
bers. He said he looks forward to the opportunity to return
to practicing an open administration.
Benish said his first impression of Kohler Schools was
that it was warm and welcoming, and he was impressed
with the high expectations for Kohler students. After meet-
ing the staff, Benish said he was impressed with the quali-
ty and professionalism of the staff, and their willingness to
orientate themselves with the culture of the school.

KOHLER VILLAGER
Amovie released in 1989 called Field of Dreams,
starring renowned actor Kevin Costner, had a catch
phrase if you build itthey will come. The ending of
the movie captures the night sky filled with a stream of
car headlights travelling toward the newly created field
that embodies the American dream of creation, attrac-
tion and success.
Ebben Field, as we know it today, is in need of
major repair and renovation. Due to safety and usabili-
ty issues, there is a need to create the Kohler Field of
Dreams as the Centerpiece of Kohler Village. The
reality today is a track that has cracks and dips making
it unsafe to run on. Bleachers are falling apart to a
point where the School Board approved demolition due
to safety issues, at the July 21 Board meeting.
The Building and Grounds Committee of the Kohler
School Board has been looking at this dire need for the
last few years and the former Superintendent of
Schools, Jeffrey Dickert, provided an assessment of the
situation several times, most recently on August 8,
2007. The committee as well as the entire board recog-
nizes the need. The difficulty has been how to fund the
needs after the $9.8M referendum was passed only a
few years ago.
On June 5 at the Kohler School Board Buildings and
Grounds Committee meeting, three village residents
went to the Committee asking what is being done about
the situation. During the session the residents request-
ed the Buildings and Grounds committee approval to
form an Ad-hoc committee to help lay out the needs of
the facility and look for ways to fund the project.
The Ad Hoc committee proposed a plan that would
be broken into three phases, the first concentrating on
the immediate needs of the track, bleachers, and main
athletic field. In other words, the existing track must be
professionally excavated, followed by prudent replace-
ment and creation of the rubberized track; the bleach-
ers and press box must be replaced; and the athletic
field needs a short term and then long-term mainte-
nance plan.
The following lists approximate expenses of Phase I
only (immediate needs only):
Rubberized Track $235,000
Bleachers and Press Box $185,000
Bring Main Field up to usability $ 15,000
Contingency $ 40,000
Other items under consideration for Phase I include the
following:
Portable Bleachers (Soccer/Baseball) $ 27,000
Scoreboard (Soccer/Baseball) $ 6,000
On June 23, the Ad-hoc committee, with the support of
the Buildings and Grounds Committee, brought to the
School Board the above plan along with thoughts on how
to raise funds for the project. The Board, understanding
the immediate needs, approved the Ad-hoc committee to
move forward.
On June 30, a meeting was held between members of
the Kohler Village Board, Kohler School Board members,
a representative from Kohler Co. and the Ad-hoc commit-
tee, to discuss the Ebben Field restoration. At this meeting
the Ad-hoc committee explained the need for immediate
action on Phase I to be followed by Phases II and III on
Ebben Field and/or the need for Ebben Park. After much
discussion all entities agreed for the committee to move
forward on Phase I. The Village, School, and Kohler Co.
also decided to discuss expanding its thinking to include
the area surrounding Ebben Field. A meeting will be held
on August 4 to continue discussion on a long-term plan.
All agreed that by working together an opportunity
could be realized to create a centralized green space that
would benefit all in the Village. The area could support
additional facilities and through appropriate architecture,
signage, and landscaping, the surrounding industrial,
retail, hotel, residential, and school property could be
bridged in the most attractive and serviceable ways.
So what does this mean for Phase I and how do we plan
to move forward? The committee has identified and begun
discussions with local organizations about supporting our
efforts. Marketing materials and plans are being developed
in order to discuss the needs with businesses, foundations,
corporations, and individuals as prospective donors. The
plan would recommend multi-year pledge support rather
than one-time payment. Recognition of all donations is
being planned, as we think it is extremely important to
honor everyone who supports this important effort.
Unlike Hollywood filmmaking, this endeavor will not
happen within an 80-minute matinee. This endeavor is
taken seriously and with great concern to detail, concern
for economics, and concern for emotions. The endeavor
may prove an investment in the general health of Village
residents, students, and guests. Ebben Field could be
described as the Centerpiece of Kohler it, too, could be
Kohlers Field of Dreams.

between unrated and NOT RATED.
DVDs that are released of made for TV
movies or television series are often
NOT RATED, which means that they
were never reviewed or rated by the
MPAA. We usually use common sense
when labeling those items, more often
than not giving them a PG-13 if they are
violent or PG if they are intended for
children.
UNRATED editions of movies that have
been released to theaters are quite dif-
ferent. This rating means that the DVD
contains material that was cut out by
production to make the film fit into a
lower MPAA rating. The material has
been added back into the movie for its
DVD release and therefore it can be
quite more adult than what you saw
in the theater.
I try to not purchase DVDs that are
Unrated, but sometimes it is the only
edition available. When we do add
those DVDs to our collection we will
always label them as R, even if the the-
atrical release was PG-13.

How do I switch to DTV?
By law, full-power television stations mush
switch to all-digital broadcasting on February 17,
2009.* Its easy to upgrade to DTV. Find your set
below to learn how.
Antenna on Analog TV
If you use an antenna to watch TV on a set that
has an analog tuner and dont subscribe to a
pay television service such as cable you can
upgrade to DTV by taking one of three steps:
- Purchase a DTV converter box
- Purchase a digital TV set
- Subscribe to cable, satellite, or other pay televi-
sion service
The government is issuing households up to two
$40 coupons (90-day expiration period) for DTV
converter boxes. To apply for coupons, call 1-
888-DTV-2009 or visit DTV2009.gov.
Antenna on Digital TV
If you have a digital TV set that is connected to
an antenna, you are already receiving digital sig-
nals.
To determine if your set has a built-in digital
tuner, check your owners manual of the TV
manufacturers Web site, or look on your set for
an indication of an ATSC digital tuner.
Cable Television
If all of your television sets are connected to a
cable, satellite or other pay television service,
you should not be affected by the transition.
But any TV sets that are not connected to a paid
TV service will need to be upgraded before the
transition.
Satellite Service
If all of your television sets are connected to a
cable, satellite or other pay television service,
you should not be affected by the transition. But
any TV sets that are not connected to a paid TV
service will need to be upgraded before the tran-
sition.
However, satellite companies in some areas may
not provide or may charge extra for local televi-
sion channels. If you receive local stations using
an antenna, your TV set may need to be upgraded
with a converter box if it does not have a built-in
digital tuner.
*Low power TV stations may remain in analog after Feb. 17,
2009. Watching analog programming may require specific
equipment.

dozen vehicles were broken into or damaged in
the area of Aspen Road. All the incidents appear
to be related. Several of the thefts were from
vehicles that were left unlocked, some in drive-
ways. I emphasize the need to lock your vehicles,
so we dont fall victim to thieves. Kohler resi-
dents respect their neighbors property and have a
sense of community and security. That is what
makes Kohler great. Unfortunately, a few ruin it
for the rest. Please call if you see or hear some-
thing out of the ordinary or that seems suspi-
cious. Curfew is 10:30 pm for those under 17,
which does keep these types of activities down.
Also, if anyone has any information on the rash
of thefts/criminal damage, please call the police
department.

The 2008 golf season celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Kohler Co.s
entrance into the golf industry with the opening of Blackwolf Run. This year
also marks the 10th anniversary of the Straits Course at Whistling Straits.
20th Anniversary Blackwolf Run
(Original Course)
The opening of the Original
Championship Course this April at
Blackwolf Run is part of this years cele-
bration for the 20th anniversary of
Blackwolf Run. The Original Course
opened in 1988 and was designed by the
legendary Pete Dye, who later designed
the remaining 18 holes at Blackwolf Run
and both the Irish and Straits at Whistling
Straits.
Opening in 1988, Blackwolf Run was
an immediate smash hit with the golfing
public and was named the nations best
new public course of the year by Golf
Digest Magazine, as stated in the Kohler
Co. history book A Sense of Higher
Design.
This course consists of the original first
hole, holes 11-18 of the Meadow Valleys
along with holes 1-4 and 14-18 of the
River. This was the Championship Course
for the 1998 U.S. Womens Open and will
host the 2012 U.S. Womens Open.
The opening of the Original
Championship Course this April at
Blackwolf Run was part of this years cel-
ebration of the 20th anniversary of
Blackwolf Run.
10th Anniversary Whistling Straits
(Straits Course)
Just ten years ago the 1998 U.S.
Womens Open concluded with the open-
ing ceremonies to inaugurate Whistling
Straits, an Irish-styled links golf course set
on picturesque Lake Michigan. Dignitaries
such as PGA of America CEO Jim Awtrey,
PGATour Commissioner Tim Finchem,
former President George Bush, United
States Golf Association past President
Judy Bell and LPGA Commissioner Jim
Ritts accompanied Pete Dye and Herbert
V. Kohler, Jr. at this fundraising celebra-
tion for The First Tee.
In April 2002, the Straits course was
rated for the first time by Golf Digest
immediately receiving the magazines
highest accolade of five stars. The Straits
course continues to receive high accolades
from raters and magazines including
Zagat, Golfweek, and Travel + Leisure
Golf.
Since its opening, the Straits course
hosted the 2004 PGA Championship,
which put it on the worlds stage, and the
2007 U.S. Senior Open. The course will
host the 2010 and 2015 PGA
