Greetings,
The new zero depth
entrance childrens pool,
which opened in June, is
seeing heavy use due to
the many warm summer
days weve had. If you
have youngsters and
havent used the new
childrens pool, Id encourage you to do so.
Your Kohler Village Board has received
nothing but positive comments about the
new childrens pool. One only has to be in
the vicinity of School Street to see the pop-
ularity and enjoyment it brings to all who
use it. Recently, a neighbor of mine told me
his wife and daughter utilized the pool eight
days in a row. Wow, this is fantastic! The
finishing touch for the pool project will be
the planting of trees and shrubs next to the
perimeter fence. Included in this plan, ap-
proved unanimously by the Kohler Village
Board, are arborvitaes, dwarf Lilacs and
alpine currents. This will enhance the pool
curb appeal, which is already a great addi-
tion to the Memorial Hall complex.
Im happy to report that the installation
of the air conditioning system in the Memo-
rial Hall Theater has been completed. Spe-
cial thanks are extended to those contractors
who worked diligently to make this become
a reality. This will insure a comfortable cli-
mate for the 900-1000 guests expected for
the PGA Distinguished Service Award Cer-
emony on the evening of August 11th. The
benefits of the air conditioned theater will
serve the needs of the Village, the Kohler
School District, The Kohler Company and
other entities for many years to come. This
is only the first of many events which will
benefit from this enhancement which has
been talked about for many years and is now
finally a reality.
Along with the Village Board, it is my
hope that you and your families are having
an enjoyable summer. The weather has been
advantageous for outdoor activities, such as
the numerous programs offered by our recre-
ation department, 4th of July festivities, fam-
ily outings and vacations. Its hard to
believe that August is upon us with thoughts
of the youth heading back to school shortly.
Enjoy the rest pf the summer knowing that
it always passes too quickly!
Dont forget to attend the PGA Village of
Kohler Concert at the Ravine Park bowl on
Friday, August 13th.
Until next time

sing
I am entering a facility
for short term rehab.
What rights am I giving
up during my stay?
Residents in nursing homes have no
fewer rights than anyone else. In 1987,
Congress enacted the Nursing Home Re-
form Law that has since been incorporated
into the Medicare and Medicaid regula-
tions.
When you enter a facility, whether it be
for short term rehab, long term care or a
respite stay, you have rights guaranteed to
you by state and federal laws.
Your rights strongly emphasize individ-
ual dignity and self-determination, promot-
ing your independence and enhancing your
quality of life.
The residents rights must be displayed
in the nursing facility along with a contact
number for the states Long Term Care Om-
budsman (a third-party resident advocate).
Each county has an Ombudsman Program
with trained ombudsmen who can help with
questions or problems encountered during
your nursing home stay, and to assist you
in exercising your rights.
The resident council and family council
also play an important part in promoting
and protecting residents' rights in long term
care facilities. These councils usually meet
monthly with involvement from key per-
sonnel from the facility.
Nursing home residents have the free-
dom to exercise their rights as residents,
and as a citizen of the United States without
fear of discrimination, restraint, interfer-
ence, coercion or reprisal. If an individual
is unable to act on their own behalf, those
rights can be exercised by whoever is ap-
pointed under state law to act on their be-
half.

Literacy Council
needs volunteer
tutors
The Literacy Council Project of the Fam-
ily Resource Center is seeking volunteers in
Sheboygan County to tutor adults in basic
literacy and English language.
Tutoring adults in basic literacy and
English language skills helps those people
who need communication survival skills to
gain employment, enroll in school, and oth-
erwise succeed in their adopted community,
says Jo Ann Dent, Coordinator of the Liter-
acy Council Project. Research shows that
an estimated 7,000 Sheboygan County
adults lack the necessary literacy skills to
read the paper or get information from a
brochure. Economic self-sufficiency is be-
yond the reach of low-literacy individuals
who cant read, write, or perform basic
math. A continual cycle of low literacy re-
sults in low-paying jobs and inter-genera-
tional poverty, says Dent.
No prior tutoring or teaching experience
is needed to become a volunteer tutor and tu-
toring times are flexible, to suit tutor and stu-
dent schedules. The Literacy Council will
provide a training session for new tutors on
August 16 and 18, from 5:30-9:30 each
evening. Training sessions are free and pro-
vide new tutors with the resources and infor-
mation they need to get started tutoring an
adult learner.
The Literacy Council Project of the Fam-
ily Resource Center is a volunteer-based
program that provides free, one-on-one lit-
eracy tutoring in Sheboygan County for
adults 18 years old or older. To learn more
about volunteer opportunities or to register
for training, contact the Literacy Council at

James Scott Weeden
passed away peacefully
at his Sheboygan home
the morning of May 12,
2010, following a brief ill-
ness with pneumonia. He
was the fifth of five chil-
dren born to Eugene Pat
and the late Mary Ann
(Kistner) Weeden, arriving
on May 29, 1955.
As a child with Down syndrome, Jim was
raised at home on Summit Road in Kohler at a
time when community acceptance and parental
support were just evolving. It truly did take a vil-
lage to keep up with Jim during his childhood and
adolescent years. Open-hearted neighbors ac-
commodated his strong will for independence and
a caring Kohler community welcomed him at vil-
lage events.
Mary Ann and Pat relied on the emerging She-
boygan County Association for Retarded Citizens
(now RCS Empowers) for special knowledge and
parenting skills. During his childhood, Jim en-
joyed swimming at the Kohler pool, camping with
dad and his three brothers, and sharing in their
Cub and Boy Scout adventures.
As a young adult, Jim moved to the Sheboy-
gan County Comprehensive Health Center, his ver-
sion of going away to college just like his four
older siblings. His dad took an early retirement and
reopened the Comp woodworking shop, where
residents attentively cut, sanded (and sanded),
glued and painted toy trucks, cars, planes, and the
very popular Sheboygan County Holstein dairy
cows.
In 2002 Sheboygan County closed the Comp.
Jim and a few of his friends moved to the smaller
Woodland Village, a wing added onto Rocky Knoll
Health Care Center. Four years later he was the
last resident to leave this new facility when it
closed on October 31, 2006. Jim had developed
numerous health and emotional problems over the
past few years. Jim then shared a home on West
Prospect Avenue in Plymouth until recently when
mobility became a problem, and he relocated to
28th Street in Sheboygan.
In addition to his father, Jim is survived by his
sister Jan Blooming (John Ronayne) of Greenfield;
three brothers, Jerome (Ruth) of Valparaiso, Jon
(Ann) of Plymouth, and Joel (Ron Holehouse) of
Sacramento; six nieces and nephews; and four
grand nieces and nephews; uncle Alan Weeden of
West Bend; and three aunts, Ruth Kistner and Jean
Kistner of Sheboygan, and Joan Weeden of Kohler.

Funding for rail line rehab
gets derailed
County officials to
seek federal funding
By Kevin Struck
The Plymouth-to-Kohler rail line reha-
bilitation that was reported in the Novem-
ber 2009 issue of The Kohler Villager has
run into funding difficulties, putting its fu-
ture in doubt. To cover the $15 million cost
of the reconstruction, officials had been
counting on $12 million from the state and
$3 million from the City of Plymouth,
which had intended to recoup its invest-
ment through rail car fees paid by Wiscon-
sin & Southern Railroad. While the state
money is likely still available, Wisconsin &
Southern has decided to allocate more of its
capital spending to other projects.
As an alternative, Sheboygan County of-
ficials are now trying to obtain grant fund-
ing from federal sources that would lower
the local matching obligation from $3 mil-
lion to a more manageable $600,000. Ply-
mouth Mayor Donald Pohlman said other
area communities and businesses that
would benefit from the reconstructed rail
line would be asked to help the City of Ply-
mouth come up with the $600,000 match.
Because a revitalized rail line would
likely help nearby companies reduce ship-
ping costs, the project is considered to be a
significant economic development initia-
tive for the county. There is also the poten-
tial for new companies to be attracted to the
corridor.
The rail line is 14.95 miles long and
crosses Highland Avenue in Kohler a few
feet north of Highlands intersection with
Lower Falls Road.

Ebben Field renovation
back on track
The renovation of Ebben Field has re-
sumed this summer with a number of proj-
ects in the works projected to be completed
in time for the first high school football
game on August 27.
The drainage system has been over-
hauled, and the track will be expanded from
six runners lanes to eight. New bleachers for
visitors will hold 748 spectators for football
and soccer games. A new press box with
new public address system will be con-
structed, as well as a new concession stand.
The new home stadium will have a water
tight enclosure beneath it to accommodate
storage of school and Village equipment. As-
phalt paved walking paths will lead to con-
cessions from the stands, and another
12-foot path will be paved from Greenfield
Drive through Ebben Field to Woodlake
Road. All new lights and light polls will be
installed for the football field.
Decorative fences, green space, and an
asphalt crosswalk to visitors seating are
scheduled for the second phase.
The project is being financed with the
help of a $1 million pledge that was ex-
tended by Chair, CEO and President Herbert
V. Kohler, Jr. in 2008.

Jenna Peters and Logan Willis both re-
ceived All-state recognition by the Wiscon-

Peters, who will be a senior in the fall,
earned second-team All-State honors. It
was Jennas second time to win an All-State
award. Sophomore-to-be Logan Willis was
awarded honorable mention. Both also
earned Academic All-State recognition.
Because the two girls play on the boys
team, their All-State honors were added

Tour de Road America
Returns to Elkhart
Lakes Road America
on August 20
7th Annual Bike Ride to Fight Cancer is
a Favorite Among Race Fans and Local
Elkhart Lake, WI Auto
racing fans and cyclists
from around the Midwest
are anxiously awaiting
the return of the Tour de
Road America Bike Ride to Fight Cancer
on August 20, when American Le Mans Se-
ries drivers and their teams, fans and fami-
lies, local cyclists, and cancer survivors take
to the famous 14 turns and hills of the scenic
4.0 mile Road America auto racing circuit to
do their part in the fight against cancer.
The family-friendly fundraising ride be-
gins at approximately 6:15 P.M., following
the days auto racing activities. The ride is
open to cyclists of all abilities, and all kinds
of bikes. Its the highlight of many cyclists
summer the chance to pedal a smooth
track, with no traffic, as the sun sets over the
scenic Kettle Moraine countryside of Elkhart
Lake.
Professional race car drivers rank Road
America circuit as their track, whether
theyre competing in their cars, or pedaling
for a great cause.
The Bike Ride to Fight Cancer benefits
the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric
Cancer, the official charity of the American
Le Mans Series, as well as the Lance Arm-
strong Foundation and the Vince Lombardi
Cancer Clinic in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
The track challenges drivers and cyclists
with its turns and hills, but is still kid and be-
ginner-friendly enough for the entire family
to participate.
Some of our fundraisers
are just starting out, and
they might do just half a
lap, or maybe just one
four-mile lap, remarked
George Siegle, co-founder of the Tour de
Road America Foundation. But the experi-
enced cyclists like it too because its a good
physical challenge, and they try to see if they
can make it to ten laps (40 miles) before sun-
set.
Last year a dozen members of Robert-
son Racing participated in Tour de Road
America in support of the Austin Hatcher
Foundation, recalled American Le Mans
Series driver David Robertson. I physically
turned some laps and began to see was how
many of the areas around the track are uphill,
more uphill than I could feel in the car. We
all are looking forward to riding again.
A silent auction of one-of-a-kind motor-
sports memorabilia, cycling gear, and local
items will take place on Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday, culminating just before the start
of the American Le Mans Series feature race
on Sunday afternoon.
Although there are no advanced fundrais-
ing requirements, participants are strongly
encouraged to do so, and can earn exciting
incentives for reaching various fundraising
levels.

ride, or to make a contribution, visit

Dont let a
teen summer
romance go
bad
by Mary Fontanazza, Director of Advocacy
Safe Harbor of Sheboygan County
Its summer! Summertime and young
love go together. Teens are meeting new
people at summer jobs, parties, at the beach
and on family vacations. The result can be a
summer romance. Sometimes, what seems
idyllic becomes an abusive, controlling rela-
tionship where one person is afraid of and
intimidated by the other.
Usually before there is physical violence
in a relationship, a pattern of verbal, emo-
tional and sexual abuse is already estab-
lished. If a victim attempts to slow things
down or expresses feeling uncomfortable
with their partners behavior, expectations
and demands, the abuser rationalizes, justi-
fies and increases the abuse and control.
Abusers do not accept responsibility for
what they do. They blame the victim (what
they said, did or did not do), other people
(boss, coach, parents, etc.) or other factors
(alcohol, drugs, depression, etc.) as the rea-
son for the abuse.
After an incident, the abuser may apolo-
gize profusely, minimize what happened, or
deny it occurred. The abuser may say jeal-
ousy and possessiveness are signs of love, a
sexual assault is justified because they were
turned on or owed something or minimize
physical violence because it was not hitting
or did not leave bruises. They may even
deny any of their behavior is abusive at all.
Abusers can be the quintessential Eddie
Haskell, very charming and polite in public,
cruel, threatening and controlling when they
are alone with their partner. To friends and
family they may appear to be friendly, polite
and considerate of others, the ideal boyfriend
or girlfriend.
All of this is confusing for the victim who
believes the apologies and excuses. The vic-
tim may believe changing themselves or
doing things differently (spending more time
with their partner, not talking to other girls
or guys, having sex, etc.) would make their
relationship better. The victim may believe
they are at fault, not the abuser, because the
person does not act that way with anyone
else, only them. Victims may be reluctant to
tell anyone because they think no one will
believe them because of the abusers good
public face.
Is abuse a part of your teens dating rela-
tionship? If your immediate response is
no, it is important to know dating violence
can happen to any teen, regardless of the
kind of family they come from, and it hap-
pens in gay and lesbian relationships as well
as heterosexual ones.
Even if you have a close relationship,
there may be things your teen has not shared.
Pay attention to their behavior, appearance
and their relationships with friends. It might
indicate your teen is involved in an abusive
relationship if you notice any of the follow-
ing.
= Your teen has a friend who constantly
checks on them (calls, texts, comes to
your home asking where your teen is).
= Your teen shows undue concern about up-
setting a friend or makes excuses for a
friends behavior.
= Your teen gives up activities, interests and
friends that had been important to them.
= Your teen shows radical changes in their
eating or sleeping habits or school per-
formance
= Your teen has a sudden change in appear-
ance - eyes are often red and puffy, uses
a lot of makeup, wears clothing or
changes hair style to conceal injuries
= Your teen has unexplained injuries,
bruises or scratches.
Now that you are aware of some warning
signs, its time to have a conversation with
your teen about relationships. Download a

sation free at: www.loveisnotabuse.com

Scallions to perform
August 7
Kohlers Favorite Band To Benefit
School Music
Kohlers favorite garage band, The Scal-
lions, are back together and ready to play a
benefit concert for the Kohler Schools music
department. The pavilion at Lost Woods
Park will be the site of the concert on Satur-
day evening, August 7 at 5:00 pm. Dona-
tions will be accepted in lieu of admission
($5.00 per person recommended) and atten-
dees are encouraged to bring blankets and
picnic dinners. In the event of rain, the start
time may be delayed to as late as 7 p.m. If
the weather is bad all night, the concert will
be cancelled.
Singer/guitarist Charlie Reinertsen, who
attends St. Olaf University in Minnesota,
was ready to rock the moment he arrived
home. After spending a year away from the
guys, I was really excited to get the band
back together and do something that might
benefit aspiring musicians, said Reinertsen.
All four of us have had such a great musical
experience in Kohler Schools and some-
times it takes time away to fully realize the
impact that had on our lives. Were hoping
to raise enough to modify two of the band
practice rooms into a recording studio. But
whatever we raise will go directly toward
the music programs.
Having recording technology readily
available to students gives them greater free-
dom in exploring music on their own, which
is an entirely different aspect of music, said
singer/guitarist Jordan Kusel. Recording
and technology are ideas that kids can easily
relate to, and are a fun way to promote
hands-on learning outside of the larger en-
sembles. Kusel will major in Music Com-
position at University of North Texas.
The band members havent lost a step,
according to bassist and UW-Milwaukee
student Mark Nebel: We knew when we
parted ways for the school year last Septem-
ber that we had a good groove going. I was
again reminded of this feeling when we
played for the first time in the summer. It re-
ally was like we had picked up the guitars
right from where we had set them down.
Nebel says theyll be playing a lot of Scal-
lions favorites along with some new origi-
nals and covers.
Drummer Dominic Gischia is also fol-
lowing his musical dreams, majoring in
Music Education at UW-Whitewater. I
hope people come to this concert not just to
support the music department at Kohler
High School, but to help kids in the future
get the most they can out of their musical
talent, said Gischia. All of us have bene-
fited greatly from what we have learned
through Mr. Tengowski, Mrs. Hucke, and
Mrs. Kukla and we want to do our part to
help their mission of giving kids the best in
music education.
If you cant make it to the concert, you
can still support the cause. Drop a donation
in the box in the Kohler High school office
during office hours, Monday through Friday,
7:30 am to 4:00 pm.

Committee to pay for our extra expenses
during this tournament. You will see extra
officers out and about, especially during
the events in the Village. The Kohler Po-
lice Departments normal operations will

Play Vehicles: The Wisconsin statutes pro-
hibits play vehicles from being on the
roadways in Wisconsin. These include:
skateboards, ripsticks, and scooters. Also,
state statutes prohibit any motorized vehicle
from being operated on the sidewalks. That
would include motorized scooters. This ba-
sically leaves only private property where
permission has been granted. Please under-
stand that the state statutes cannot be
changed by Village ordinance, therefore we
cannot permit someone to operate in viola-
tion. Many of these items are not cheap to
purchase. Please be cognizant of the rules
prior to purchasing one for the family.
From Public Works
Superintendent
Bruce Neerhof:
Noxious Weeds/Grass Length: According
to Village Ordinance 8.24, it is the duty of
every homeowner to destroy all noxious
weeds on their property before they go to
seed. Examples of noxious weeds are
Canadian thistle, English charlock, wild
mustard, creeping jenny, goatsbeard and
cotton-bearing trees.
Also, grass that exceeds nine inches in
height is in violation of this ordinance. The
Village gives five days notice to the home-
owner to mow their grass. Otherwise, the
Village will do it at the expense of the home-
owner.
Holiday Garbage Pick-up: When a holiday
falls on a Monday all garbage pick-ups will
be one day later than scheduled. For exam-
ple, Labor Day falls on Monday, September
6; therefore garbage pick-up for that week
will be on Wednesday, September 8th.
Recycling: As a reminder, all plastics, glass,
aluminum and tin cans should be mixed to-
gether and placed in your blue recycling bin.
Newspapers and magazines should be
placed in a brown paper bag or bundled and
tied together. Cardboard should be flattened

questions regarding recycling please contact

sale or for sale sign shall be permitted on
each lot or parcel. Signs located on public

Pool by August 11.
With the addition of the new Kiddie pool,
some new issues need to be addressed.
Please help us keep our pool safe and clean
by following these requests.
No shoes on deck. What does this mean?
No shoes on deck means any foot wear, in-
cluding sandals, that you
wore to the pool. That
means you actually came
to the pool in this particular
footwear. We ask this be-
cause there may be foreign
objects on your footwear. We want to keep
our pool clean and safe for all. These for-
eign objects may not be coming from your
property but may be dragged from others.
Examples: lawn chemicals, animal feces,
dirt, glass. Please remove your footwear in
the locker rooms and replace them with
footwear you would use only at the pool.
Food and Beverages at the Pool
We ask that you consume your
snacks and any beverage other
than water in the designated area
on the pool deck. This is the area
with the picnic tables and striped
umbrellas.
Pool Elevator
The pool elevator is for handicap use only!
Not to be used for strollers, wagons, etc.

2010-2011Middle School/High School Schedules and Locker/Combinations
Middle School and High School parents can access their childs schedule, locker number and combination through the Family/Student Access portion
of our website.
1. Go to the school website @ www.kohlerpublicschools.org
2. Click on the family & student access tab on the right
3. Enter your user name and password
4. To view your childs schedule, click on schedule under general information on the left. Select Current Year at the top of the page.
5. Locker numbers and combinations can be found on the student information tab.
Because lockers and combinations are available on-line, locker cards will not be distributed to returning students in Gr. 9-12. Students in Mid-
dle School will receive locker cards during MS Orientation on August 31. They will have the opportunity to practice opening their locks at that
time. New High School students will receive locker cards during the High School New Student Orientation on August 30.
Please remind your child to write down his/her combination and keep it in their wallet, purse, or in their pocket until they memorize it. Back-
packs are not allowed in the classroom and must be locked in the students locker during class, SO A BACKPACK IS NOT A GOOD PLACE
TO KEEP THE COMBINATION! Students should also be reminded not to share their combination with friends!
Parents who are having trouble accessing their childs information on-line should contact the District Office, 920-459-2920 x 1100, to make sure
you are using the correct name and password. Also, families who do not have access to a computer are asked to contact the office to request a
locker card and schedule after August 20.

SCHOOL LEGAL NOTICE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN: That pursuant to the Family Educa-
tional Right and Privacy Act and State Statute 118.125(b) and
(2)(J), the Kohler School District has designated the following as
Directory Data Information as provided in said Act and Statute:
students name, date and place of birth, participation in officially
recognized extracurricular activities, dates of attendance, awards
received, the schools most recently attended by the student, and
photograph of the student. For students attaining junior and sen-
ior status after July 1, of the new school year, the students name
and address may be disclosed as directory data. In addition, di-
rectory data of juniors and seniors for the armed forces will in-
clude telephone listings.
Any parent, legal guardian or guardian ad-litem may refuse to per-
mit the designation of the above information as directory data. In
that case, the information will not be disclosed without the prior
consent of the parent, legal guardian or guardian ad-litem, except
as otherwise allowed by law.
Any parent, guardian, or guardian ad-litem refusing to have the
designated directory data disclosed, must inform the school dis-
trict within 14 days to this effect, through written notice to Dr.
Marty Lexmond, Superintendent, Kohler School District, 333
Upper Road, Kohler, WI, 53044.
The Kohler School District will release directory data only for
news releases of awards, recognitions, honor roles, printed pro-
grams, district web page (Only High School Students), or other
pupil information materials. The name and address of each pupil
who reaches junior and senior status after July 1, of the new
school year will be released, upon request, to any educational in-
stitution including branches of the armed forces, unless the
School District is informed that this information may not be re-
leased without prior consent. In addition, directory data for the

ing junior and senior status after July 1, of the new school year.
Any previous notices on file with the Kohler School District with-
holding the disclosing of directory data information are now void.
Publishing of honor
roll to be studied
Discussion took place at the July
12, 2010 school board meeting re-
garding whether the school should
continue publishing the quarterly
honor roll in The Kohler Villager
newspaper. The Curriculum and In-
struction Committee raised the issue
after hearing concerns from parents
that because approximately 75% of
of middle-school and high school
students are listed in the honor roll,
its too easy for the approximately
25% who didnt make the honor roll
to be singled out in a school as small
as Kohler. It was also pointed out
students are often excluded from the
listing for simply missing one assign-
ment, or turning it in late.
The School Board approved a rec-
ommendation for Superintendent
Marty Lexmond to research other
schools that discontinued publishing
its honor roll, to determine what ef-
fect it had on grades one way or an-
other. A decision will be made before
the first quarter honor roll is released.

KOHLER VILLAGER 19
Continued from previous page...
Acclaimed Kohler Waters Spa
launches new signature water
therapy rooms
Kohler Waters Spa continues to set the standard in
hydrotherapy with innovative water treatments
Kohler Waters Spa upholds its status as
a leader in hydrotherapy with the unveiling
of new signature wet therapy rooms and
pioneering water treatments. Keeping with
the focus on the healing properties of
water, the Kohler Waters Spa rooms offer
experiences that incorporate the latest
KOHLER Bathing Products including
VibraAcoustic technology that is
proprietary to Kohler, KOHLER Custom
Vichy shower with hydromassage and a
rejuvenated focus on couples services.
Since we are part of Kohler Co. and
Kohler has been pioneering the
experiential water business for over
135 years, it was only natural that the
focus of our new treatments continue to be
on the therapeutic and relaxation benefits
of water, said Jean Kolb, Director of
Wellness for Kohler Co. and International
Spa Association (ISPA) Chairperson. We
are also focusing on the increasing demand
by couples to spend more time together
and have launched a couples bathing
treatment.
The new treatment rooms are
appropriately named to match the design
and experience Harmony, Acoustic and
Riverbath. The dcor of these new spa
suites evokes the soothing effects of water
with the blue and natural-slate color palate,
and each incorporates state-of-the art
features that enhance guests experiences
along with new signature treatments. A
few highlights of the renovation and new
menu launching July 1, 2010 include:
= With technology that is only available at
the Kohler Waters Spa, the Acoustic
Room features the KOHLER
Fountainhead VibrAcoustic Bath that treats
guests to a one-of-a-kind bathing
experience with a unique blend of sound
vibrations from underwater music that
results in an experience that is both
invigorating and relaxing.
= For guests who would like to try the
healing powers of color with
chromatherapy, the Riverbath Room
provides a warm environment of eight
soft-color hues along with invigorating
whirlpool jets that mimic the flow of a
river. The Kohler Waters Spa also offers
for the first time a couples bathing
experience, which also features a walk-in
shower that includes KOHLER Ambient
Rain with chromotherapy and Flipside
Handshower. A service in this room
includes an exfoliation and massage
coupled with free time to enjoy the bath
and shower solo or with a significant
other with the Riverbath or Riverbath for
Two services.
= The KOHLER Tea for Two Bath
featuring effervescent champagne-like
bubble massage is the focus of the
Harmony Room. The bath fills from the
ceiling with a solid stream of water using
Laminar Flow technology.
= The Harmony Room and the Acoustic
Room feature the new, KOHLER
Custom Vichy Shower that is only
available at the Kohler Waters Spa. The
horizontal arm of water features six
KOHLER WaterTiles that provide a
constant showering of warm water in
varying sequences throughout the service.
The design of the KOHLER Custom Vichy
Shower is sleek, modern and
programmable using the KOHLER DTV
(Digital Thermostatic Valve) Digital
Interface to preprogram the service
settings. This pioneering product is
scheduled to be available for purchase to
the spa industry.
= The new signature water treatment is
Lavender Rain, which incorporates a
lavender and eucalyptus exfoliation
followed by a soothing, warm Vichy
shower with hydromassage,
lavenderinfused wrap and relaxing foot
and scalp massages. This treatment is the
perfect way for guests to experience this
advancement in spa water therapy. The 50-
minute treatment is available for $155 and
$175 on Saturday.
= Guests who are looking for new
treatments in addition to hydrotherapy will
enjoy the new Stillness Room, where they
can try additional Kohler Waters Spa Two-
gether Couples Treatments and enjoy more
relaxation together with massage
treatments including the Kohler Massage
and Stretch & Flex for Two. The couples
water experiences include the new
RiverBath for Two and H2O Inspiration
for Two Signature Treatment.
We designed these rooms and new
signature treatments to further enhance the
health and relaxation benefits for which
Kohler Waters Spa has long been known,
stated Kolb. Our goal is to provide guests
with the latest in spa therapy while
continuing the traditions that have made
the Kohler Waters Spa one of the best in
the country.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this
year, the 25,000 square-foot Kohler Waters
Spa offers 21 treatment rooms, including
the new signature rooms. Focused on the
therapeutic powers of water, the award
winning Spa features mens and womens
respite rooms, each with whirlpool, plunge
pool, steam room and sauna, as well as a
spacious relaxation room. Guests can also
lounge in the coed whirlpool on the
enclosed rooftop patio with 16-foot
fireplace or work out in the state-of-the-art
fitness center.
