Branch of Dale Carnegie
Systems announces that
Darryl Gumm has joined the
firm as a training consultant.
Gumm, a graduate of
Kohler High School, Layton
School of Art, and Dale
Carnegie Training, will be
working out of his office in
Kohler and will provide cus-
tomer service to clients in
Sheboygan County, Fond du
Lac County, Dodge County,
Ozaukee County, and Washington County.
With over 30 years of experience in the
for-profit corporate sector and over 11 years
Darryl Gumm joins Southeast Wisconsin
Branch of Dale Carnegie Systems
By Darryl Gumm, Dale Carnegie
Training Consultant with JR Rodgers &
Associates, Inc., West Allis, Wisconsin.
Many people dream about getting pro-
moted and having the opportunity to be a
leader in their organization. After all,
we've worked hard and developed all of
the technical skills to be successful in our
chosen field; so that big promotion
should be all that we had hoped for.
When I was promoted to manage my
department for a former employer, I was
honored, thrilled, and excited; but also a
little apprehensive. I was very knowl-
edgeable about the technical aspects of
my department, but was not very confi-
dent about my people managing skills.
Soft skills like motivating staff, effective-
ly communicating (both listening and
clearly expressing my thoughts and
ideas), conflict resolution, problem solv-
ing, and customer service were areas I
needed some training in.
Shortly after my promotion, I noticed
an advertisement in the Sheboygan Press
about a public Dale Carnegie class that
was starting in a few weeks. I worked out
an arrangement with my employer that
made it possible for me to attend the 12-
week class. To sum up my Dale Carnegie
learning experience, I would say that it
changed my life in many very positive
ways. Not only did I learn the soft skills
needed to be a successful manager at
work, it also equipped me with the skills
to be a better father and husband, and an
active and contributing member of my
community and our society.
Ideally, learning is something we
should be doing throughout life. My Dale
Carnegie learning experience not only
of experience in the non-profit
sector, Gumm is knowledge-
able of many of the corporate
and personal development
training needs that are
addressed by Dale Carnegie
Systems.
Dale Carnegie Systems
specializes in both public and
private training programs
designed to build personal
self-confidence, develop lead-
ership skills, enhance commu-
nication skills, strengthen people skills, and
manage stress and worry through an
improved attitude.

Darryl Gumm shares his Dale Carnegie experience
"Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think
about it. Go out and get busy." Dale Carnegie
has kept me interested in continuing my
education, it has given me the enthusi-
asm and self confidence to live life to its
fullest.
On April 23, 2007, another public
Dale Carnegie class will begin in Kohler.

Submitted by Duane Du Mez, National
Geography Bee Coordinator
Cole Brock, a sixth-grader at Kohler
Schools, is the winner of the school level
competition for the National Geography
Bee, which took place on Monday, January
8. He competed against nine other contest-
ants two from each grade level in 4th
through 8th grade. Coles win moves him
one step closer to winning a $25,000 col-
lege scholarship.
The school-level Bee, in which students
answer oral and written questions on geog-
raphy, was the first round in the thirteenth
annual National Geography Bee, which is
sponsored by National Geographic World.
The kick-off for this year's Bee took
place the week of November 27, with thou-
sands of schools around the United States,
District of Columbia, and five U.S. territo-
ries participating. The school winners,
including Cole, will now take a written test;
up to 100 of the top scorers in each state
and territory will be eligible to compete in
their state Bee on Friday, March 30.
Alex Trebeck, host of Jeopardy, will
moderate the national finals, which will air
on May 23.
The National Geographic Society devel-
oped the National Geography Bee in
response to a growing concern about the
lack of geographic knowledge among
young people in the United States.
Anyone can brush up on geography with
GeoBee Challenge, an online geography
quiz at nationalgeographic.com/geobee,
which poses five new questions a day from
previous National Geographic Bees.
The National Geographic Society is the
worlds largest nonprofit scientific and edu-
cational organization. The 114-year-old
Society reflects the world through maga-
zines, books, maps, television, and interac-
tive media.
Congratulations to Cole for his fine per-
formance in the school level Bee, and to the
following students for winning the class
level competition: 4th Grade: Will
Hapeman and Alex Diedrich; 5th grade:
Logan Wright and Cody Gartman; 6th
grade: Kelly Burkhart and Cole Brock; 7th

The Rotary Clubs of Sheboygan
County announced the availability of sev-
eral full scholarships to the 2007 World
Affairs Seminar to be held June 16-22,
2007, at UW-Whitewater. To be eligible,
students must have completed the 10th
grade and be at least 16 but under 19 years
old on June 16, 2007. Applications will be
accepted from students at any of the area
high schools, including foreign exchange
students (who are not restricted by grade
level requirements). All applicants must
have an endorsement from their high school
principal, counselor, or teacher. Deadline
for completed applications is May 15, but
applications are accepted and processed on
a first-come basis. For application forms or
further information, contact Ed Morgan at
920-698-0061 or emorgancpa@charter.net.
See the Internet site www.worldaffairssem-
inar.org for alumni quotes, videos, infor-
mation downloads, lists of prior
themes/speakers, and frequently asked
questions. Attendees are responsible for
their own transportation to and from the
seminar and for pocket money, but all activ-
ity fees, room and board, and instructional
expenses are covered by the scholarship.
Ed Morgan, spokesperson for the
Sheboygan Early Bird Rotary club stated
that "It's a fantastic opportunity for high
school students a chance to mingle with
over 800 students from North America and
international students representing some 50
countries from around the world for a
unique, high-energy week to discuss a most
timely world topic. The topic for this
years seminar is Global Heath-
Prescription for Survival: Who's
Responsible? Noted academic faculty and
content experts from around the world will
give formal presentations and lead small
group discussions, while insightful docu-
mentary films will give further perspectives
on this most relevant issue.
The purpose of the seminar, which has
been held annually for 30 years, is to pro-
vide a forum for future leaders to be intro-
duced to some of the most perplexing glob-
al issues and to seek initiatives leading to
solutions. The Seminar does NOT advo-
cate a particular viewpoint, but does open
minds to various thoughts and opinions.
One of last year's scholarship winners,
Danielle Bradford of Sheboygan South
High, reported back to Early Bird Rotary
that I had a tremendous experience and
Id love to go back again. Since 1977, the
World Affairs Seminar has continually pro-
vided a stimulating, thought-provoking
experience for participants, many of whom
have gone forward with careers in the inter-
national arena.

Installing a pond and waterfall is the single greatest
impact you can have on your backyard living space!
www.hurthwaterscapes.com
Let us change the way that you live in your yard.
Ponds are Our Passion
Bring the WOW factor into your backyard!
Bringing nature back into your world
By Doug Hurth, president of Hurth Waterscapes
It seems that wherever you go these days
fields, forests, and wetlands are being
scraped away to make room for more new
development. Whether its for a new resi-
dential development, a manufacturing site,
or the many stores and restaurants that we
like to frequent, the fact is, nature is being
pushed away from us every day. Not that
progress is badwhere would we live,
work, and shop if it weren't for new devel-
opment? Wouldnt it be wonderful if the
average homeowner could do something to
improve nature? If we could only provide a
bit of nature in each and every backyard,
wouldnt the birds and the bees be much
happier?
Well, now that you mention it, there is
something that can be done to bring a little
nature into every backyard in town. This
nature movement that I am speaking of is
called the water garden lifestyle. A water
garden is naturally balanced, backyard
sized, ecosystem pond and waterfall that is
decorated inside and out with wonderful
plants. It could be large enough to fill the
backyard and eliminate your lawn mowing
duties or small enough to tuck into the cor-
ner and accent one of your existing flower
beds. Whether large or small, the key to
having and keeping a water garden in your
yard is balance. If constructed correctly, a
water garden can have sparkling clear water
and a beautifully flowing waterfall without
the use of chemicals. By using the correct
combination of flowing water, rocks, grav-
el, plants and biological filtration, Mother
Nature will take over and maintain your
pond for you the natural way, attracting
birds, frogs, turtles, and countless other
backyard wildlife to your wetland paradise.
Your water garden landscape will be a cen-
terpiece in your neighborhood while posi-
tively impacting the environment.
Not only does the water garden lifestyle
enhance the quality of life for the local
wildlife, it also greatly enhances your life.
Humans are closely linked to water; we
need water in our daily lives to even sur-
vive. A significant fraction of the human
body is water. You can live without food for
several weeks, but you cant go more than a
week without water. Perhaps this is why
water has such a magically calming effect
on us. People can't walk by a lake, stream,
river or even a pond without pausing to look
and listen. A water garden will change the
way that you live in your yard. The wonder-
ful sights and sounds of the water garden
will draw you outside to be near your own
piece of paradise. After a hard days work,
you will long to sit near your pond and soak
in nature. The sound of the water flowing
over the rocks will touch your soul and
wash away the stresses of the day. The
sights of your beautiful Koi and goldfish
playfully swimming through the blooming
water lilies will thrill your senses for hours
on end. Sit, relax, enjoy.
Did I say Koi and goldfish? I know what
you're thinking: I certainly don't need a pet
to care for. Dont worry, although you may
end up naming them, Mother Nature takes
care of them for you, just as she does all of
her other inhabitants. These fish are an inte-
gral part of the balanced ecosystem in your
pond. The fish help to keep your pond neat
and tidy by feeding on the algae and debris
that they find naturally in the water. You
don't need to feed them and you dont need
to bring them in when it gets cold. Mother
Nature takes care of all of that for you. You
simply get to enjoy their company and mar-
vel at their beauty.
Shortly after the installation of your
wonderful water paradise, you will have all
types of songbirds coming to your pond
regularly to drink from the cool clear run-
ning water and to wash themselves in the
always fresh birdbath that is your stream
and waterfall. The frogs will move in and
happily swim in your water and sun them-
selves on the rocks and lily pads. They are
not as common as the birds and frogs, but
many happy pond owners have reported
that the turtles have moved in as well. You
may worry that your pond will attract mos-
quitoes, but mosquitoes need calm, stagnant
water to breedyour pond is continually
moving. Also, any mosquitoes that dare get
close to the water will most likely be eaten
by the fish, frogs, turtles, or birds. Rest
assured that while this is a water garden
sanctuary for wildlife, it is not a mosquito
breeding ground. Large or small, your
water garden will be a sanctuary for at least
some of the wildlife that we are displacing
every day.
The plants in and around your pond are
an integral factor in the balanced ecosystem
as well. They act as filters and cleaners of
the water, removing any contaminants and
nutrients from the water as they live and
thrive. The best part about aquatic plants is
the ease of maintenance: they never need to
be watered or fertilized, and your ecosys-
tem pond takes care of that for you. You are
free to spend your time soaking in the beau-
ty. If you are a gardener, you will love the
opportunities the water garden affords you
to expand and enhance your current gar-
dens. Now you have the perfect area for all
of those beautiful creeping and crawling
rock garden plants, not to mention potential
new planting areas for annual and perenni-
al flowers of your choice.
Along with all of these benefits, your
water garden will also save water, as the
average water garden uses less water per
year than the patch of lawn that it replaces.
Also, you will no longer need to worry
about cutting or fertilizing that part of your
yard.
More and more people every year are
bringing nature back into their yards
through the installation of a water garden.
Water gardens have been ranked in the
same category as decks and patios as the
most sought after residential landscape
improvement. I have yet to meet a water
garden owner who has not fallen complete-
ly in love with the lifestyle and how drasti-
cally it has improved their yard and how
they use it. Dont spend another summer
sitting on your deck or patio staring at your
lawnliven up your yard and your lifestyle
with the introduction of water and see how
special life can be at home.

signed Brewers Baseball, a 4-day 3-night
stay in a Chicago condo, and specialty
baked goods are among our many other
items for auction.
We are still receiving and finalizing
donations. Expected donations include tick-
ets to a Green Bay Packers game, a number
of golf packages, a week at a private condo,
and local restaurant gift certificates, just to
name a few. We will be offering a great deal
of items at our silent auction, ranging from
home-made greeting cards to gift certifi-
cates at local businesses. Each class at KHS
will be creating a theme basket for the
evening filled with auction-themed goodies
for bid. The classes compete to see whose
basket can bring in the biggest donation. If
you would like to make a donation please
contact Patti Nowak at 208-2344.
We look forward to seeing all of you
with current or future music students at the
auction. Thanks to the proceeds of the last
two auctions, KPAO was able to provide
nearly 40% of the cost of the upcoming
music trip in March for every high school
music student going on the trip, as well as
give out several scholarships for music
camps to high school and middle school
students. The funds for the auction support
not only the biannual high school trip, but
also are used for music camp scholarships
for Kohler music students of all ages. Even
students as young as fifth grade can benefit
from the proceeds of this auction. If your
child is in the music program now, or will
be in the future, donating a good or service
and attending the auction is a great way to
support the program.
Even while we are still actively pursu-
ing donations, wed like to thank all the
music student parents who are volunteering
on committees and making donations. A
special thank you to all our corporate spon-
sors our event would not be a success
without your help. As parents of current
and future music students, we should all
remember to thank those sponsors by con-
sidering them for future purchases. And
when you do patronize them, make sure to
thank them for their donation!

Kohler Kare
Timeliness is next to ?
By Mr. Jeffrey Dickert, District Administrator
There is an old saying, Cleanliness is next to godliness. Then one has to
think where timeliness fits into verse and lore. We do know in K-12 educa-
tion that timeliness is the number one trait that businesses across Wisconsin
are seeking an employees behavior. It shows up on every business survey
connected to educations school-to-work programming. Employers want
employees who show up on time, ready to work.
Over the past month, Kohler Elementary School, under the direction of
Mrs. Sue Jaberg, has been working with the students and parents to be on
time. School starts at 8:00 a.m. sharp. This allows us to teach the many sub-
jects and standards required by the State of Wisconsin and our curriculum.
As a parent of any student in K-12, it is your responsibility to ensure that
your child arrives on time. If tardiness is a habit, analyze why your child
arrives late. It may be as simple as setting out clothes the evening before, or
rearranging what time or who gets the shower first, or just getting up 5 min-
utes earlier. Remember parents, you are the first educator. Your child takes
his/her leads from you. Always remember, that if youre late, class has started
without your child and he/she may miss some very valuable instruction.
As students get older, detentions are attached as consequences for tardi-
ness. This is a practice to attempt to verify the importance of timeliness. It is
our hope that parents of the elementary children will take some time and
review your situation. If you drive your child to school, are you leaving early
enough to arrive at school by 7:55 a.m.? If not, you need to reassess your
morning.
Timeliness is a great trait that transfers to future employment. With your
help, it can be a trait that your child will emulate at school and in their future.
Give it some thought!

Kohler Schools To Teach Second
Language Beginning in Kindergarten
The Board of Education at Kohler Schools is proud to announce a second language initia-
tive. Kohler Elementary School will begin Spanish instruction in the 2007-08 school year to
students in the 4-year old kindergarten classroom through 6th grade. Instruction will take place
at all elementary grade levels building on the knowledge gained in the previous year, with the
intention to have graduating seniors fluent in Spanish. The high school course Spanish I pre-
viously taught at the freshman level will be taught in 7th and 8th grade. Incoming freshman
will take Spanish II. A new course, Spanish V, will be taught during a students senior year
completely immersing the student and allowing them to become conversant in Spanish.
The Spanish Fluency Program is one of the first initiatives created in a response to the
Kohler School District Strategic Plan 2006-2011. The Strategic Plan was created with the
intent of taking Kohler Schools to new heights with the assistance of over 40 community
members, teachers, administrators, support staff employees, and board members.
According to District Administrator Jeff Dickert, Spanish will be taught in the elementary
classroom with a specialized instructor similar to physical education, music, and art. In this
case, the regular education teacher will stay in the room to assist the specialized Spanish
instructor, and to learn the language as well. Mr. Dickert stated, This is an important initiative
for Kohler, in an effort to set us apart as a School of Distinction and to create Students of
Distinction. In this global economy it is vital that all of our students know a second language,
whether attending college or going straight into the world of work. A second language gives a
student so many more options in selection of colleges and careers. Mr. Dickert notes that
research confirms that studying Spanish will prepare a student to know and understand other
related languages. Research also states that students studying a second language score higher
on standardized English tests. Studying a second language encourages students to understand
their language and how it relates to other languages. Mr. Dickert explains that due to a grow-
ing Hispanic population in Sheboygan County, Kohler students will have many opportunities
to become immersed in the language.
Mr. Dickert is highly complimentary to Mrs. Susan Jaberg, Elementary Dean of Students,
and high school Spanish instructors Ms. Becky Bruder and Mrs. Dara Vrtikapa for their assis-
tance in creating the details of the initiative. The District has a lot of work in the next six
months to have the program ready for the 2007-08 school year, but everyone is excited for this
new initiative to be implemented.

Rolled on a Saturday Night
Article submitted by Mrs. Susan Jaberg
If you didnt make it to the 1st annual Elementary School Family Rock and
Roll Dance, you missed an awesome time! Fun was had by all! Great music
was donated by Jeff Armstrongs Sound Art Productions (his roadies includ-
ed Shane, Markus, Kurk and Paula Anderson, Lori Armstrong and Tom
Olmsted). Almost 200 students and parents danced the Limbo, the
Macarena, various line-dances, and anything else one could conjure up.
Parent volunteers served snacks and soda. Volunteers included Sarah
Hapeman, Liz Sprinkman, Sonja Heins, Kathy Rutten, Robin Stock, and
Paula Anderson.
Music Notes
The WSMA District Solo & Ensemble Festival is only a couple of weeks
away. At this point the students should have all their correct notes and rhythms
in place and should be fine tuning their performance for the judges.
Transportation: You have several options. Kohler will be providing a bus for
those who wish to use school transportation. The bus will leave Kohler at 7:15
am. The return bus will leave Cedar Grove High School at 4:00 pm and return
to Kohler at 4:30 pm. We encourage parents to come and support their children
at the festival. Therefore, parents are encouraged to provide transportation to
the festival. A transportation permission form should be complete and must be
returned to the music department by Friday, March 9.
Performance times will be available to music students one week prior to the
music festival.
Thank you to all of our accompanists who are assisting our students at the
festival. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated.
Keeping with Kohler tradition, the music department has prepared an amaz-
ing 205 performing events most in the Central Lakeshore Conference. Good
luck to all of our music students!
If you have any questions, please contact the music department.
KOHLER MUSIC CONCERTS
The Kohler Public Schools Music Department will be presenting two con-
certs in March. The middle school bands and choir will present a concert on
Tuesday, March 13, and the high school band and choir will present a concert on
Thursday, March 15. Both concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Kohler Memorial
Theatre.
The middle school concert will begin with the middle school choir perform-
ing Three Russian Folk Songs. The sixth grade band will perform Crown Point
March, and the concert band will conclude the concert by performing British
Isles Suite, Serengeti, and highlights from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Their will be a unique twist to both music concerts. The theme of both con-
certs is entitled Music of the World. Accepting the growing diversity of our
culture and understanding one another can often be accomplished through
music. Therefore, musical selections on this program will highlight and cele-
brate many different cultures throughout the world. Some of the selections you
will hear include a celebratory piece entitled Gate, Gate, Sing for World Peace,
featuring a 4-6th grade childrens choir, Russian Sailors Dance, and a collection
of Israeli dances called Rikudim. The band and choir will perform together and
close the concert with Today is the Gift, which uses complex African rhythms,
chanting, and singing.
The choirs are under the direction of Lori Hucke and accompanist Wendy
Kukla. The bands are under the direction of Richard Tengowski.
The concert is free and open to the public.
Kohler School Friends Sponsor
Music Clinics
On Thursday, February 8, Rick Bjella, Lawrence University Choir Director, observed and
worked with the Kohler High School Choir. Bjellas specialty is bringing music to life. With
the help of Bjella, students discovered the musical background to several of the pieces of music
they were rehearsing and preparing for their next concert.
On Monday, February 12, Ernest Broeniman presented clinics with both the middle school
and 6th grade band. Broeniman, a retired band director from Plymouth and a widely sought
after clinician, shared his insights with all the students and challenged them to elevate their
level of performance.
The Kohler Music Department would like to thank the Kohler School Friends for sponsoring
both clinicians.

EMERGENCY CLOSINGS
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 actu-
al 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 sib-
ling? A relative? Have you made prior arrange-
ments with this individual to be on "stand by" for
these occasions?) In emergency closing situa-
tions, 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 opportuni-
ty to make alternate child care transportation
plans. All closing announcements or early dis-
missals will be made on the following area radio
stations:
RADIO STATIONS
WHBL (1330 AM) includes WWJR (106.5 FM

Coach
Tauscheck led
the Kohler boys
high school ten-
nis team in advancing to the state team
tournament last June for the first time
ever.
The team also sent its top two singles
players and top two doubles teams to the
WIAA State Individual Tennis
Tournament in Division 2.
It was kind of a pleasant surprise,
said Tauscheck. Its nice being recog-
nized as one of the schools that are
breaking into the elite circle of tennis
standouts.
Its fun to be acknowledged by some
of the teams we've watched in awe.
Tauscheck expects another great sea-
son this year.

Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run
both made the March issue of Golf Digest
magazines list of Americas 50 Toughest
Golf Courses. The magazine ranked 50
courses in 26 states as the most diabolical
venues in the U.S. the ones that torture
and taunt us but keep us asking for more.
Whistling Straits made the top ten at #8 on
the list, while Blackwolf Run made it in the
the top twenty at #17. The only other
Wisconsin course to make the list was Teal
Wing Golf Club in Hayward at #48 on the
list.
Thirty-two of the courses on the list are
public courses. California has the most
courses on the list, five. The #1 ranking was
given to the Ocean Course in Kiawah
Island, South Carolina.
Eight of the courses are Pete Dye-
designed (including Whistling Straits and
Blackwolf Run), the most of any designer.
When Pete Dye met with Sheboygan
County Planning staff on an inspection tour
of the area that would become Whistling
Straits, he commented that he always found
it surprising that the more difficult he made
his courses, the more popular the courses
became.
Whistling Straits will host the upcoming
U.S. Senior Open July 2-8, 2007. Visit
destinationkohler.com for more informa-
tion.

listing of the 50 toughest courses.

overdue or early notification).
Reminders are sent when the user
wants it before items are due (up
to seven days advance notice,
weekly notice or everyday
reminders). For families or anyone
who'd like reminders before an item
is due (user-selectable number of
days notice). If Elf is for you, sign

ANTIQUES AND HERITAGE QUEST
(Genealogy) ONLINE DATABASES:
Thank you for letting me know that
you were having difficulty access-
ing these databases at home. I
called Eastern Shores Library
System and Paul, the tech person,
had to reconfigure the settings for
the Antiques database so it would
recognize your library card and pin
for access. I have not heard that
this site is a problem any longer.
Paul said the problem with
Heritage Quest is two fold. First off
you need to have the latest version
of your operating system for it to
run effectively. Secondly, you need
to enable cookies on your
machine. Heritage Quest needs
cookies enabled so it can maintain
an ongoing dialog with your com-
puter while you are logged in with
your library card number and pin.
Please let us know if you have any
more concerns. My e-mail is jgeb-
hart@esls.lib.wi.us. Thank you.
Heritage Quest is a sister site of
Ancestry Library. Kohler Public
Library offers Heritage Quest in
conjunction with all the other
libraries in Sheboygan and
Ozaukee. Ancestry Library is a
databse we offer thanks to a part-
nership with the Kohler Schools.
Ancestry Library can only be used
at the library because the Ancestry
Library will not permit home usage.
It is absolutely thrilling to find your
family. Personally I have found
the Ancestry Library to be more
complete and useful for my family
research. There is even a place
where you can print out a
genealogical chart to help you as
you research. Plan to spend some
time when you come in since it is
very addictive. The library comput-
ers are busiest between 3-5 so it
might be better to pick another
time slot. Go to Kohler.k12.wi.us
once you are on a library comput-
er. Then click on Library Media
Center and then Middle
School/High School Resources.
Finally, go the bottom of the listing
to Ancestry Library. Staff is there
to help if you have any questions.
NEW MATERIALS: Please call
459-2923 or email
jgebhart@esls.lib.wi.us if you have
suggestions of items to purchase
for the library.

I ordered all of them for the library.

Vacation Checks
Dont forget that if you are planning to go
away on spring break or at any time dur-
ing the year, that you may have the
Kohler Police Department check your
house while you are gone. Residents
can now request a vacation check on-
line through the Kohler Police
Departments web page www.kohlerpo-
lice.com, by stopping by the department,
or calling. If you call outside of regular
business hours, you may leave a mes-
sage, too. In your message just include
your name, address, duration of your
vacation, and any other pertinent infor-
mation that we may need to know. Some
pertinent information may include lights
that are on timers, alarms, and names of
persons who may stop by or key-hold-
ers. Any other questions about this serv-
ice, please call the police department.
Deer Abatement Update
The Village did not participate in any deer
abatement activities for the second year
in a row. A helicopter flyover was con-
ducted to determine the size of our deer
population compared to the last count.
This years count, which was conducted
on Feb 2, revealed 58 deer present in the
Village. A little less than half were north
of Highway PP and a bit more than half
were south of Highway PP. In 2005 a fly-
over revealed 32 deer in the Village with
30 of those deer south of Highway PP.
Before the Abatement program was start-
ed, a flyover showed that the Village had
a total of 243 deer spread throughout the
entire Village. Car vs. deer accidents
have been reduced significantly from
about 65/year to around 25/year. An
Urban Wildlife Damage Abatement and
Control Grant received through the State
of Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources paid for half of the expenses
incurred by this program.

Snow Emergency
To find out if a snow emergency is in
effect for the Village, call 459-3881 any-
time, or watch Kohler Cable Channel 20.
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
emergencies 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 boxes located throughout the
Village.
Snow Removal
Here are some reminders on Village
snow removal ordinances and policies:
1. Please remember to shovel your side-
walks within 24 hours after a snowfall
event.
2. Do not blow or shovel snow back into
the street.
3. Please remove vehicles from the
street when the plows are in opera-
tion.
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.
