DECEMBER, 2008
The 2009 property tax levy for the
Village of Kohler, which was approved by
the Village Board on November 17, has
been set at $1,628,180 down slightly from
the 2008 levy of $1,628,836. The largest
capital expense for 2009 is expected to be
street projects at $620,500.
General fund expenditures are planned to
be allocated as follows:
General Government (legal counsel, vil-
lage hall, postage, etc.): 13.3%
Public Safety (police, fire, etc.): 34.1%
Public Works (streets, storm sewers,
garbage collection, etc.): 23.9%
Public Health Services (animal control): 0%
Culture/Recreation/Education (library,
youth center, parks, etc.): 16.4%
Debt Service (principal, interest & fiscal
charges): 12.3%
Although the Village mails out and col-
lects property tax bills, only about 20 per-
cent of a property owners payment is allo-
cated to the Village. The majority of the
property tax payment is distributed to
Sheboygan County and the Kohler School
District. See the Village View on page 23
of this issue for details about tax bill mail-
ings and payment options.
Village tax levy down slightly for 2009
Enlistment of youngest McKnight culminates family Air Force tradition
By guest writer Master Sgt. Bob Reeve
(USAFR Ret.)
Kohlers McKnights and their ties to the
Air Force make them a truly unique family,
clearly dedicated to the noble cause of
national defense and scattered to the four
winds in the process.
Janet and son Brandon, 22, are reservists
with the 440th Airlift Wing, based at Pope
AFB, N.C. Son Robert, 20, is on active
duty, stationed in Japan. Son Allen, 19, just
left for basic training and also will serve on
active duty. Gregory (a.k.a. Dad) served on
active duty from 1984-90 as a helicopter
crew chief, attaining the rank of sergeant.
The Air Force even gets credit for Janet
and Gregs matrimonial match-up and as
the springboard for their offspring. Before
joining the Reserve in 1992, Janet served
on active duty from 1982-85 with a stint at
Tyndall AFB, Fla., where Greg was sta-
tioned at the time. They met, their relation-
ship took flight, and they wed in 1986.
Greg was later reassigned to Elmendorf
AFB, Alaska, which became the McKnight
boys birthplace.
Being a Kohler-based Air Force
reservist requires stick-to-itiveness and get-
up-and-go, in more ways than one. Once a
month on a Friday, Janet and Brandon drive
65 miles to Milwaukees Mitchell Airport,
board a 440th Airlift Wing C-130 transport
plane with many comrades, and make the
3-hour, 950-mile flight to Pope AFB. They
perform their duties on Saturday and
Sunday, then reverse the process: fly to
Milwaukee, drive to Kohler, get home
about 8 p.m. Sunday. Theyre also required
to serve two weeks of active duty each year,
not necessarily at Pope or even in the U.S.,
and are virtually on 24/7 alert status.
(Note: The 440th Airlift Wing was
based at Gen. Mitchell International
Airport Air Reserve Station in Milwaukee
from 1957 until June 2007 when the instal-
lation was abandoned by action of the fed-
eral Base Realignment and Closure
Commission and the wing reassigned to
Pope AFB, which is located within the
Armys Fort Bragg.)
Its like seeing double looking at Janet
and Brandons military-civilian occupa-
tions. Both are assigned to the 440th
Medical Squadron. Janet, a master ser-
geant, is a medical laboratory specialist.
Brandon, a senior airman who enlisted in
July 2005, is a biomedical equipment jour-
neyman. As a civilian, Janet is ACL
Histology supervisor with Aurora Health
Care in West Allis. Brandon is a
Biomedical Equipment Technician II with
Universal Hospital Services in Madison.
Hes also a part-time volunteer firefighter
intern with the Blooming Grove Fire
Department. Talk about full plates.
I enjoy the small successes of rebuild-
ing the 440th at Pope, Janet said. I dis-
like leaving home every month to go there.
But its been more than a year now so its
getting easier and feeling more like home
away from home. There are good people
there who I enjoy working with.
And spoken like a true mom: Im also
able to see Brandon and am very proud to
see him build a strong reputation for him-
self. Hes really quite impressive in his
work.
As for the reservist triad, It has been a
difficult road to balance family, full-time
work and a successful military career,
Janet said. When away working with the
Air Force Im engaged and enjoy the chal-
lenges. I know that my work is appreciated.
You see, four among this familial quintet
are Air Force members and the fifth is a for-
mer member. Interestingly, only one of the
four works on airplanes and its Mom who
has the most service time.
Off we go into the wild blue yonder to
meet these McKnights in shining armor.

Its our nature to want to remain independent as long as possible. But
that can mean falls, medication errors, compromised nutrition, and
limited socialization. Friends and family arent always aware of what
happens day to day when those they care about live alone.
Were here to oer general information and gather families in a
comfortable setting to learn about senior housing options and what
they mean for your loved one.
And, sometimes the best time to talk about
assisted living options with those you love.

But theres always stress in leaving my
civilian job, expecting a challenge to get
caught up when I return. Theres been
some guilt that has come from leaving
Greg and the boys every month for all
these years, she said of her 16 years in the
Reserve. But they became very self-suffi-
cient and independent.
I wasnt ready to settle into the college
life, Janet said of her 1982 enlistment,
fresh out of Hartford High School. I had a
desire to leave Wisconsin and see the
world. The Air Force gave me that oppor-
tunity while learning a trade and deciding
what career path I wanted to take.
Fortunately, it gave me the foundation for
the (civilian) work that I still do today.
Shell be eligible to retire in less than a
year but said her retirement plans are indef-
inite.
Robert (a.k.a. Rob) and Allen are the
new kids on the McKnight Air Force block.
Rob enlisted last January, hoping to
become a pararescueman. He injured a
shoulder early in training and it didnt suf-
ficiently heal for him to continue. He was
transferred to the aircraft maintenance
field, schooled as a turboprop/turboshaft
engine mechanic and aerospace propulsion
technician, then assigned to Yokota Air
Base in Tokyo.
Hes seeing more of the world at his
young age than most people see in a life-
time. An airman first class, Rob said via e-
mail that his unit is deployed for temporary
duty to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos,
Vietnam, Guam, Korea and The
Philippines as the need arises. As a relative
newcomer he hasnt gone to those places
yet, but is now trained and likely to accom-
pany the unit on future deployments.
Like father like son, hes taken a bride
while in uniform. Rob returned to Kohler on
November 20 and the next day married
Alissa Brock, who graduated from
Sheboygan North High School last spring.
Three days later the newlyweds soared to
the Far East.
Who wouldnt want a honeymoon in
Japan? Janet said.
Allen, who this year graduated from
Kohler High School like his brothers before
him, left on December 2 for eight weeks of
basic training at Lackland AFB, Texas.
Then come 13 weeks of technical school
(Security Forces) training, also at Lackland.
He said hes leaning toward a civilian law
enforcement career, which prompted him to
sign up for whats essentially military police
work. Upon completion of tech school, hell
be assigned to a base still to be determined.
All three McKnight boys credit their par-
ents for their decision to join the military
and choose the Air Force over other branch-
es.
Brandon: The fact that my parents were
involved with the military introduced me to
the idea of enlisting. Although I may have
made the same decision if they had not
served, their experience made it much easi-
er for me to compare and contrast serving in
the military with other options after high
school.
Rob: Always hearing the positive talk
about the military at home was huge.
Growing up with my mom in the Air Force
and a prior-service father, who to this day
has a GI haircut and military-training-
instructor mustache, joining the service just
seemed like the right thing to do.
Allen: Im sure that having everybody
else in my family in the Air Force had some-
thing to do with it. Peer pressure?
There were other factors. All three said
their perception of highest quality technical
school training tipped the scale in favor of
the Air Force. They figured that skills
acquired and lessons learned in their chosen
fields would be readily transferable to the
private sector. The GI Bill, travel opportu-
nities, and the call of patriotism also made
the military look pretty attractive.
I joined because I wanted to help other
people, assist in protecting our country and
our rights, and to become a better person
overall, Brandon said.
Said Rob, I like the respect people give
me for serving my country. Someone has to
do it and Im proud that I decided to.
Having three precious sons in uniform
and potentially in harms way could certain-
ly be cause for parental concern. How do
Janet and Greg see it?
I dont have any reservations about my
boys serving their country, Janet said.
Its an opportunity for them to learn and
grow into young men who will have a sense
of pride for what is sacrificed for our free-
dom. They will experience ups and downs
and see firsthand the reality of our country
at war. But I have concerns as all parents
are concerned for their childrens safety.
I always have concerns but the posi-
tives outweigh the negatives, said Greg,
47, a native of St. Petersburg, Florida, and
plant manager with Stern Tanning Co. in
Milwaukee. I think that it (military serv-
ice) is a great opportunity and its given me
the life that I have today. I hope the boys
get out of it as much as I did. I dont regret
any of the time I spent in the service and
hope that they will have those same experi-
ences.
It was Rob who perhaps best summed up
Kohlers McKnights: We really are the
definition of an Air Force family.

Dear Amy,
MyHusbandhas beengivenagreat jobopportunity.
Wearetryingto decideif weshouldput thehomeon
themarket nowor if I shouldstayhereandwait until
spring...
Weareworriedabout puttingour homeonthemarket
duringthewinter. Do youhaveanysuggestions that
will helpit sell duringthewinter months? Sue
Dear Sue-
Congratulations on the great job offer! I will do
everything I can to make this a easy move for you
and your family. Yes, In many parts of the country,
selling a home during the winter months can be a challenge.
Dreary, cold weather and the end-of-the-year holidays can keep
buyers away and heighten fears of your home staying on the mar-
ket longer than expected.
However, there are a few things you can do to enhance curb
appeal. And when that happens, buyers will take notice.
When setting the asking price through a comparative marketing
analysis, compare similar homes sold in the winter months. Many
owners set their asking price too high because of comparisons
with sales prices during peak seasons. Always try to compare like
properties sold at the same time of year.
Once weve settled on an asking price, its time to spruce up the
interior and exterior of your home. I recommend opening as many
curtains as possible to add light and color to rooms. Also, I suggest
that you keep spring and summer pictures of your home out on
tables and in clear view. Photos of your front yard flowers or the
backyard shade tree in full summer bloom can help swing many
buyers in favor of a purchase.
Staying on top of winter maintenance and chores is another
sure-fire way of adding value to your home. A neatly shoveled
driveway and cleared walkway can add a nice touch. Make sure
the furnace is in good working condition and that the room temper-
ature is kept at a comfortable level. Also, check to see that the
basement if dry and sealed from any drafts.
Take yourself on a tour of your home. Start in the basement and
work you way through the house. More than likely youll see many
previously undiscovered cluttered spaces and needed repairs that
can turn off potential buyers.
Dont overload your home with holiday decorations, either. The
buyer should have a chance to see you home in its everyday con-
dition. You will soon see with my suggestions and marketing plan
we will have you placed strongly against whatever competition
exists and get your home SOLD!
If I can offer anyone else advise or if you would like to hear
more about my strong marketing plan to set my listings apart
from the competition, please go to my web site,

A total of 1,353 Kohler voters turned
out to cast their ballots in the November 4
general election. The voter turnout rate
was 90.6 percent.
Though Barack Obama was the victor
in the presidential election, John McCain
was the winner in Kohler. Congressman
Tom Petri was also favored by Kohler vot-
ers, as well as Kohler resident Alex Pieper,
who lost to incumbent Terry Van Akkeren
for the state assembly race.
The national results for the presidential
election were Obama/Biden: 365 electoral
votes/66,882,230 popular votes over
McCain/Palin 173/58,343,671. Tom Petri
won his 16th term to U.S. House of
Representatives defeating challenger
Roger Kittelson 208,196 to 116,932. Terry
Van Akkeren defeated Alex Pieper 16,044
to 8,460.
Alex Pieper was favored by his home-
town of Kohler receiving 716 votes to Van
Akkerens 577, but it was actually the City
of Sheboygans 13th ward that delivered
Pieper the most votes at 739, (though Van
Akkeren received 1,211 votes from that
ward making him the eventual winner). The
13th ward encompasses an area widely sur-
rounding Evergreen Park and the quarry on
the citys northeast side.
I want to thank the village of Kohler
for all their support. I learned a great deal
about myself and my community.
Wherever I went throughout the village, my
friends and neighbors appreciated that I was
running and supported me in many ways,
and for that I am grateful. It was a fantastic
experience that I will take with me in each
new endeavor. I am so thankful for my wife,
Carrie, for all her work and support during

Kohler High volleyball
team makes strides
Submitted by Coach Becky Luedtke
The Kohler Varsity Volleyball Team
made big improvements this year both indi-
vidually and as a team. The team finished 5-
27 overall for the season and finished 8th
place in conference out of 10 teams. Kelsey
Stefanczyk and Megan Patterson were
voted all-conference honorable mention for
the Central Lakeshore Conference. The fol-
lowing girls were also recipients of team
awards: Molly Schaetz Most Improved,
Kelsey Stefanczyk Most Valuable Player,
Crystal Simon True Blue Award, Jordyn
Scheuren Outstanding Senior Award, Kali
Lidhold Most Improved JV, Christina
Lindstrom JV True Blue Award.
Congratulation to all girls on a hard fought

Blue Bombers boys a season of success
Submitted by Coach Scott Feltner
The Kohler High School Boys varsity
soccer team achieved many successes on
and off the field this fall. They were Central
Lakeshore Conference Champions for the
second year in a row with a perfect 14 wins
and 0 losses. They were also WIAA
Regional Champions for the third year in a
row. The team has won Regionals every
year since becoming a varsity program
three years ago. The teams overall record
was 22-3 and they finished the regular sea-
son ranked #1 in the state by the Wisconsin
Soccer Coaches Association. The team also
won the Wrightstown Invitational tourna-
ment and the Central Wisconsin Christian
Invitational tournament.
According to head coach Scott Feltner,
the Central Wisconsin Tournament was one
of the highlights of the season, Because
one of the teams dropped out of the tourna-
ment we had to play two top ten teams with
only a half hour rest between games. We
beat #4 ranked Central Wisconsin Christian
2-1 and then turned around and beat
Columbus (eventual 2008 WIAA State
Champions) 3-0. It was the best soccer I
had seen the team play and led directly to
our #1 state ranking.
The Blue Bombers had 11 shutouts dur-
ing the season and averaged 4.4 goals per
game with a goals against average of 1.
They scored 109 goals overall while only
letting in 25 over 25 games. Coach Feltner
said, This teams success was built on
defense. We had a close knit group of sen-
ior defenders who included Steven Esche,
Shane Anderson, Doug Bocchini, AJ
Armstrong and Sam Mehoke.
The team proved they are good athletes
but they are good students too as they are
being considered for the National Soccer
Coaches Association of America Academic
award for the second year in a row. The
award is given to high school varsity teams
that have a cumulative 3.25 GPAas a team.
While achieving much success as a

team, they managed to pick up many indi-
vidual honors as well. Senior Forward
Jimmy Mani led the conference in scoring
this year with 27 goals despite being double
and triple teamed all season. Junior Forward
Austin Van Treeck was second in the con-
ference with 18 goals. Mani, Van Treeck
and Senior Doug Bocchini were all voted
All Tournament at the Wrightstown
Invitational tournament.
The team placed more players (7) on the
CLC All Conference teams than any other
team in the conference. Austin Van Treeck,
Doug Bocchini, and Senior Goalkeeper
Steven Esche were All Conference (Second
Team). They were joined by the only soph-
omore to make the All Conference team,
Shawn Vroom.
All Conference (First Team) players
included Jimmy Mani, Senior Midfielder
Ryan Stefanczyk and Senior Defender
Shane Anderson. Mani was chosen as a
unanimous #1 pick by all of the CLC coach-
es.

Ebben Field Update:
The Fall construction cycle of the
Ebben Field restoration project has come
to a close. With help from moderate
weather patterns, the construction crew
was able to place the foundational layer of
asphalt for the new track. The track was
also given a basic striping pattern so that
the Spring track season can begin on time.
Please note that the Ebben Field complex
will be closed for the winter. As a matter
of safety, we ask that individuals avoid
traversing the area.
At the November Board meeting, The
Kohler Public Schools Board of
Education approved the creation of the
Ebben Field Master Planning Steering
Committee. This advisory committee will
be primarily responsible for soliciting pub-
lic input on the Ebben Field Master
Planning Project, as well as presenting sub-
sequent recommendations to the School
Board. The goal is to create a thoughtful
and aesthetically pleasing multi-use facility
that meets the needs of both the school and
the community for years to come. A num-
ber of community forums and focus groups
will be scheduled so that all stakeholders
can share ideas and offer suggestions
regarding the design and development of
the Ebben Field complex. Specific details
on meeting dates and times will be forth-
coming.
Hungry?
The Junior Class of Kohler High School is holding a
prom fundraiser on January 15, 2009. It will be held in

EMERGENCY OR INCLEMENT WEATHER
CLOSINGPROCEDURES
As we begin another year, it is once again time to review the procedures for school closings due to inclement weather.
As in the past, we ask parents to discuss this issue with their children NOW- before the actual emergency occurs. If
you are generally not home during the day, be sure your child knows NOWwhere they are to go if school closed early
(Will they go home with a classmate? Older sibling? A relative? Have you made prior arrangements with this individual to
be on stand by for these occasions?) In emergency closing situations, forty or fifty children wanting to call home/work to
find out where to go, seriously delays the entire closing process. Please make sure your arrangements in advance and be
sure your child is fully aware of what to do.
Any decision to close schools for all or any portion of a school day will be made as early as possible in order to afford
parents the opportunity to make alternate child care transportation plans. All closing announcements or early dismissals
will be made on the following area radio/television stations:
WHBL (1330 AM), WXER (104.5 OR 96.1 FM ), WSTM (91.3 FM) The Breeze, WLKN (98.1)
WTMJ - Channel 4, WFRV - Channel 5, WISN - Channel 12, NBC 26 - Channel 26, WLUK -Channel 11, WITI - Channel
6, WBAY-TV/DT 2 - Channel 2.
Counselors Corner
Happy Holidays from the Student Services office.
On November 13
th
all Kohler students were asked to participate in Mix It Up at Lunch Day. This was a national
event and a simple call to action for students to step out of their comfort zones to meet new people in the
school cafeteria. Students in grades Kindergarten through 12
th
were assigned to a table as they came into
lunch. At the table they had the opportunity to meet and talk with other students they might not otherwise get to
know. Our students did a nice job of participating. Prizes such as cards for KFC, Quiznos, McDonalds, Marcus
Theatre and Target were given via a raffle for participating students. This is a positive event and I am currently
looking for a few motivated students or a student organization who might want to take over the running of this
annual event. If you know of a student or a student group who would like to run future Mix It Up at Lunch
events please contact me.
As always, parents feel free to make an appointment to meet with me or call (459-2921 ext. 1301) or send an e-
mail (multerl@kohler.k12.wi.us) if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child(ren).

Executive Assistant to the Supt/Board
Yes, I was a busy parent! How did I
survive? How did my child grow into a
healthy adult? Sometimes I still won-
der! Id like to share with you some
approaches that worked for my hus-
band, Steve and me.
Researchers have been surprised to
learn that, when Parents are asked if
they wanted more time or money, most
people answered, More time. With
most parents already feeling so harried
they hardly have time to sit down for a
meal, how can they find the time to
help their children succeed in school?
The following are some suggestions
from experts and me that might help!
1. Use the time in the family car with
your child to have important discussions
or review homework. Parents this is
truly the best time to have those uncom-
fortable discussions. Turn off the radio
and have the heart-to-hearts. My daugh-
ter, Maria always knew that when the
radio was turned down I was probably
going to have the human growth talks.
Wed be on the freeway.there was no
way she could escape. Shes a grown
woman and still laughs about my
approach. Car time is also a good time to
review spelling words or practice for the
ACT Test.
2. Plan for the day ahead. Have your
children organize the night before school
so they know what they are planning to
wear or what theyll need tomorrow.
Place notes on the counter the night
before an event. We had a recipe box
with pre-made reminder cards and extra
blank cards. Wed set out the cards the
night before. In the morning, wed wake
up to; Dont forget permission forms or
Piano Lessons or Lunch Money
Everyone had cards even the family cat!
3. Find your childs prime time for
studying. This may be a key to his suc-
cess in school. My daughter was a lost

Succeed in School

cause after 9:00 p.m.! She would only get
upset if she let things go until later. As a
mother, I would insist on her completing
homework early.
4. Remember to set priorities! My hus-
band will tell you this is the most impor-
tant rule of parenting. Our daughter signed
up for everything possible in her freshman
year of high school. She was convinced
that she couldnt get into college unless she
was in everything. After much stress on
her part, which caused us a great deal of
stress, we convinced her that she would be
no good to anyone if she didnt take time
for herself.
5. Spend one-on-one time. Kids need both
quality and quantity time with you.
Theres nothing like spending time alone
with a parent to make a child feel special.
My daughter and Id go for a bike ride
every weekend. It was not only enjoyable
but good for our health. We still try to get
together for bike trips even though she is
grown up and on her own. Biking is an
activity that is special to both of us.
6. Send notes with your child to school.
I often see adorable notes in childrens
lunch boxes that say, Have a great day!
or I love you! Children are always
showing me the notes their parents send to
school. Once they get older, they hide
them, but trust me they still enjoy receiv-
ing them. Wouldnt you!!!

Get your kids into a festive spirit this year, and give them
some delicious, healthy treats with our easy-to-make hol-
iday snacks. The three quick recipes below save time,
help your children avoid extra fat and calories, and pro-
vide ample opportunities for creativity! So let the fun
begin!
The search for green and red fruits is all part of the fun. It
can begin in your own pantry, or in the supermarket. Mix
family favorites with something new. Some preserved
fruits, such as dried cranberries or canned cherries may
require a bit of supermarket sleuthing. Specialty stores
and food catalogs are another good source for exotic
additions. See what you can dig up!
What you need:
Green fruits:
kiwis
green grapes
green apples
gooseberries (canned)
honeydew melon (fresh or frozen)
Red fruits:
strawberries
cherries (canned or dried)
red grapes
cranberries (dried)
pomegranates
red apples
Simple directions: Wash, peel, and cut fruits as needed.
Arrange on a platter in the shape of a wreath.
Tips for preschoolers: Adults can cut fruits into triangles
and squares. Talk about the colors and shapes of the fruit
while arranging. Your child can help arrange the fruits by
color, kind, and shape.
Tips for older children: Encourage your child's artistic
expression in arranging the fruits. Creative ideas include
concentric circles, wedges, pictures, or something a little
more abstract.

Stuffed dates
Dried fruits are traditional holiday foods. In earlier times
they were the only fruits available during cold winter
months. This easy-to-make treat is a classic, and one that
even the youngest child can help to make.
What you need:
whole dates (pits removed)
walnut halves
granulated or powdered sugar (optional)
Simple directions: Slide walnut halves into the slits on each
date. Squeeze the date flesh around the nut. Roll in granu-
lated or powdered sugar or leave plain. Arrange the stuffed
dates on a serving plate.
Roasted chestnuts
Fresh roasted chestnuts are a seasonal food, available only
during the winter holiday season. Although popular for cen-
turies in Europe, North America, and Asia, many Americans
have never tried them. Unlike other nuts, chestnuts are rel-
atively low in fat and calories, which makes them a healthy
snack. Remember, fresh chestnuts are perishable, so store
them in the refrigerator and keep them covered to prevent
drying out. Although this is quick and easy, cutting the tough
outer shell does require a sturdy adult hand. Children can
peel off the brittle shells with their fingers, after baking.
What you need:
fresh chestnuts
Simple directions: Preheat oven to 425 F. Cut criss-cross
slits through the shiny brown outer shell. This lets steam
escape and prevents the chestnuts from exploding. (If the
cut is deep enough it also makes peeling off the shells eas-
ier). Put in a shallow pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Take them out of the oven and let them cool for about 10
minutes or long enough to handle. Be sure to peel away
both the outer shell and the bitter inner husk. Enjoy the
sweet nutmeats inside.
Note: Instead of baking chestnuts in an oven, try cooking
them over an open fire. Avoid putting them directly in the
flames or they will scorch.

Children with disabilities procedure
The school district must locate, identify, and evaluate all children with dis-
abilities, including children with disabilities attending private schools in the
school district, regardless of the severity of their disabilities. The school
district has a special education screening program to evaluate all children
with suspected disabilities and are at least three years old. Upon request,
the school district will screen a child who has not graduated high school to
determine whether a special education referral is appropriate. A request
may be made by contacting Tamra O'Keefe, Special Education Director at
459-2920 x1200.

HATS ON DAY Celebrated at
Kohler Elementary as part of
Making a Difference Month.
Kohler Elementary School participated
in HATS ON DAY on Friday, October 24,
2008.
HATS ON DAY is a nationwide event
where students pay a nominal fee for the
privilege of wearing a hat of their choice to
school to help raise childhood cancer
awareness and funds for the Foundation for
Children with Cancer.
HATS ON DAY was founded by a
group of 6th grade students in St. Louis,
Missouri in 1995. Its amazing what a few
children working together can do to make
a difference. Our Kohler Students raised
over $400.00 to support the Foundation for
Children with Cancer. Yes, Students you
do make a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Robin Stock, KSF Label Coordinator, and Vicki Friske, KSF President, pictured with Mrs. DeAmicos class and
their new playground balls. Mrs. DeAmico has had the classroom that's collected the most box-tops / caps /
labels for the last two years!
Did you ever wonder what hap-
pens to all those Campbells Soup
Labels that are collected at school?
The Kohler School Friends has a
Box-tops / Caps / Labels
Coordinator, Robin Stock, who
counts every single label for us and
sends them in to Campbells. This
fall, we were able to submit 18,900
Campbells Soup Labels and pur-
chase (6) balls for each of the 21
elementary classrooms. Thats 126
playground balls!
Thank you to all the families &
friends of Kohler School who take
the time to send in their labels, box
tops and milk caps all year long.
Keep them coming -- they really
do make a difference! A special
thank you goes out to Robin and
her family for donating their time
to count & cut all those labels &
box tops.

Snow Emergency
To find out if a snow emergency is in effect for
the Village, call 459-3881 anytime, or watch
Kohler Cable Channel 989. There is no parking
on village streets during a snow emergency. A
snow emergency is called when accumulation is
expected to exceed six inches. Snow emergen-
cies are typically called from 8:00 AM until
12:00 PM to give the snowplows an opportunity
to clear the streets with no cars in the way.
Salt
Village residents are welcome to obtain salt
from the containers located at Valley Rd and
Upper Rd; Church St. and School Rd; and
Lower Rd and W. Riverside Dr.
Snow Removal
Winter is here. Here are some reminders on
Village snow removal ordinances and policies.
Please remember to shovel your sidewalks with-
in 24 hours after a snowfall event.
Do not blow or shovel snow back into the
street. Please remove vehicles from the street
when the plows are in operation.
Snow Removal Around Kiosks
It is the residents responsibility to have the
snow removed around the kiosks/NDCBU
(neighborhood delivery and collection box
unit)/cluster boxes. The Postal Service will not
deliver mail if the carrier is not able to reach the
unit the front as well as the backside.
Someone in the unit/neighborhood needs to take
the initiative to remove the snow; or maybe the
responsibility can be shared within the unit. The
Village is not responsible to keep these areas
clear of snow.
Christmas Tree Pickup
Christmas trees are considered garbage because
of the potential of lights or other ornaments that
may be accidentally left on the tree. Residents
should put them at the curb to be picked up
with regular garbage.
If you have any questions or concerns that you
would like to discuss with the Public Works
Department, you may contact our office at 459-
3881 or via email at
bneerhof@kohlervillage.org.
Building Permits
A reminder that building permits are required
for new structures, additions, remodeling,
accessory structures, pool, plumbing, electrical,
HVAC, siding, roofing, fences, signs and drive-
ways that encroach on right-of-way. Any ques-
tions about building permits and/or permit fees
can be directed to the Public Works Department
at 459-3881.
It is necessary to have approval from Kohler
Co., if stated in your property deed, and the
Village Plan Commission before construction
begins on projects including, but not limited to
fences, accessory buildings, garages, home
additions and decks. Guidelines are available at
the Public Works Department that include nec-
essary items for submission to Kohler Co. and

Trick or Treat Update
The Kohler Police Department is happy to say
that we were able to provide over 500 glow
necklaces to the trick-or-treaters in the village
on Halloween night. The glow necklaces went
fast and many good comments were received
from the residents about this program. The
police department wants Halloween to be a fun
and safe activity for the families of the Village
of Kohler and this helped that cause. We will
be handing out the glow necklaces again next
year.
Driving Conditions
Now that winter is back upon us, we all have to
remember to drive more carefully. Even though
some vehicles seem to handle better in the
snowy conditions, remember to give yourself
more distance between vehicles when stopping.
Big SUVs can get going faster with 4-wheel
drive, but have the same problems stopping on
slick roads. Snow banks can reduce visibility,
so be aware of pedestrians. If a vehicle is
parked outside, remember to clear the win-
dows. Proper visibility is extremely important,
especially with children crossing the streets
early in the morning. Also, remember that get-
ting ready in the winter takes more time, so to
avoid having to rush, plan ahead.
Snow is on the Way
The Village of Kohler doesnt have winter
parking regulations like many other communi-
ties with parking on the even or odd side of the
street throughout the winter months. That is
typically done so if it snows the communities
can completely clear the streets after the snow-
storms over two days. Instead, we just rely on
residents moving their vehicles promptly after
snowstorms. Also, just a reminder that it is ille-
