The Village ofKohler is oneof those ‘spe-cial communi-ties’ that peoplelove to visit.An importantaspect of theVillage of

Kohler is its “planned approach” todevelopment. By using this ap-proach, the Village Board and theKohler Co. Residential ReviewCommittee are working together tomaintain the aesthetics of the Vil-lage. The Plan Commission for theVillage Board, chaired by Mrs. JanHomiston, has the responsibilityfor reviewing all planned improve-ments for the Village, includingresidential properties. The VillageBoard has the overall authority forissuing building permits in accor-dance with Village ordinances.Mr. Bob Ruggles, as the new Di-rector of Architecture & InteriorDesign for the Kohler Co., has thecontrol over the restrictions be-tween the homeowner and anydeed restrictions. By working to-gether, the Village Board is able tocontrol and oversee the ‘plannedapproach’ for this special commu-nity. As we continue to crawl out ofour national and worldwide eco-nomic slump, continued develop-ment at the local level is impera-

tive. The good news is that our vil-lage is experiencing increased de-velopment for the Deer TraceShopping Center. Building permitshave been issued to Inland Com-mercial Properties for remodelingthe interior of the Fashion Bug and2nd Wind stores in Deer Trace. Atthe January Board Meeting, theVillage Board approved issuing aSpecial Use Permit to Chuck Daw-son, owner of Mattress Firm, for astore to be located in the DeerTrace Shopping Center. As time wends its way into thefuture, one would expect that therewill be ongoing talks for develop-ment within the Village – or sur-rounding developments that wouldstrengthen the Village’s tax base.Obviously, there are two schools ofthought regarding development.One thought is: I like it the way itwas years ago…nothing like thegood old days. The other thoughtis that if one does not look to thefuture and look to change, well,one stands still and falls behind.Looking at the development ofKohler over the past century, it isobvious what choice was made forthe Village of Kohler. The Recreation DepartmentCommittee Chairperson, JohnPethan, will be presenting the 2011Spring/Summer programs withinthe next few months for final ap-proval by the Village Board. Prior

From the Village Board President . . .to approval by the Village Board,it will have been presented to theRecreation Department Commit-tee and the Property Committee.Continued thanks are extended toSusie Wandschneider, RecreationDepartment Director, for planningthe scheduled programs for the2011 season.

With the days getting longer,the snows less frequent, and withour recent February thaw, ourminds are already filled with thethoughts of March: “Will it comein like a lamb and go out like alion, or vice versa?” Either way,we are confident that April show-ers will bring May flowers, re-

freshing each of us with springweather.

Best of wishes…

By Mary Struck, PublisherShane Anderson, a 2009 Kohler

High School graduate attendingMarquette University in Milwau-kee, recently had the opportunityto study abroad in Cairo, Egypt.After arriving in Cairo on January20 with about forty other students,Anderson, who is studying entre-preneurship, marketing, and realty,settled into his new digs in Za-malek – an island in the Nile thatlies between modern downtownCairo and Giza. Zamalek is hometo many embassies; however, theUS embassy is across the river inTahir Square, a city that wouldsoon erupt into protests and blood-shed within days after Shane ar-rived in Egypt.

Shane quickly made newfriends: a dozen from Notre Dame,a couple from Georgetown, andone from the University of Vir-ginia. “We hung out as a groupeverywhere we went. It was fan-tastic walking around Zamalek andexperiencing the culture with theseguys,” Anderson said. Egyptiancuisine sampled by the group in-cluded: Koshry (which consists ofmacaroni, spaghetti, lentils, andrice, with marinara and a spice);Babaganoosh (bean paste cookeddown), Falafel (a spiced bean pattythat’s fried and eaten in a pita), andmuch more. Cigarette smokingwas everywhere, and even 12-yr-olds were seen lighting up. Ander-son said the pollution was terrible,and stray cats were as common-place as squirrels are here.

The students had opportunitiesto sign up for various excursionsincluding Old Cairo, Alexandria,Aswan and Luxor, and Lebanon.Anderson described being in OldCairo as like being in the movieAladdin with shops everywhere,people yelling, and kids running allover the place. He visited ancienthistorical landmarks like thechurch where Jesus’ mother Marystayed in Cairo, the first syna-gogue, the first church, a mosque,palaces, old Roman buildings andtapestries and paintings from cen-turies ago. It was all he imaginedEgypt to be, and looked forward tomore excursions to experience theEgyptian culture and history, in-cluding the Pyramids. He alsolooked forward to his businessclasses, which were scheduled aweek after he arrived, but classeswere postponed when protesterstook to the streets in a revolutionagainst Egyptian president HosniMubarak. The protesters called foran end to corruption and police re-pression, and enactment of demo-cratic reforms of Egypt’s politicalsystem

Being on an island in the mid-dle of the Nile allowed Andersonand his friends to observe the ef-fects of protests all around themfrom the rooftop of a neighboringapartment building. Plumes ofsmoke and tear gas were seen ris-ing in the air as thousands of Egyp-tians took to the streets of Cairowith marches, rallies, acts of civildisobedience, riots, labor strikes,

and violent clashes with police.Several times Anderson and afriend tried to make their way intosome parts of downtown Cairo toget a better view of the activities.They witnessed people gettingbeaten, explosions, Molotov cock-tails being hurled, burning build-ings, tanks, and even got teargassed themselves. They saw gun-fire and a few bodies in the street.Anderson said the one thing thatangered him most was seeing otherAmerican exchange students toast-ing, drinking and partying by pho-tographing themselves against thebackdrop of chaos, while people inthe streets below them were losingtheir lives. Anderson said that as anAmerican he was ashamed of theirdisrespect toward the country andits people.

With all phone and Internetcommunications cut off by thegovernment, the students wereonly able to get tidbits of real newsfrom TV, though it was censored,and in Arabic. The students had torely on gossip or spoon-fed infor-mation from the staff.

Eventually, phone service wasrestored and students were able tocall parents. While Anderson wasexpecting classes to resume, hisfriends were talking about evacua-tion. Universities began advisingstudents to take U.S. embassysponsored flights to “safe havens”set up for U.S. citizens. MarquetteUniversity informed Andersonthey would be providing flights viaSOS (Marquette’s international

crisis evacuation insurance group).After waiting nine hours in line fora plane, Anderson was able toboard one of three flights destinedto either Istanbul, Athens, orCyprus. Passengers didn’t knowwhere they were going until theyboarded the plane. Boardingpasses consisted of a scrap ofpaper with a number scrawled onit with a Sharpie. Anderson’s flighttook him to Istanbul, where Mar-quette arranged a flight to London,then Chicago. As luck would haveit, the flight to Chicago was can-celed due to an historical snow-storm dubbed “Snowpocolypse,”which dumped more than twentyinches of snow at O’Hare Airport.But airport personel were able toget Anderson on the last flight ofthe day, a direct flight to Chicago.

“It was the smoothest landingever,” said Anderson of hisChicago landing. He then took atrain to the house of his best friendin Chicago, fellow Kohler gradu-ate Tucker Barrie, who is attendingColumbia University. Andersonstayed with his friend for a littleover a day before catching a trainto Marquette University, missingEgypt as he trudged through thesnow and frigid cold.

The danger of the situation inEgypt didn’t really sink in for An-derson until after he returned homeand was able to reflect on his ex-perience. “I feel as though I gotmore out of those twelve days thanI would have during any semesterI studied anywhere,” he said.

Miracle in Whitefish Bay – The 1956Blue Bombers by Bruce EricksonBy guest writer Bruce Erickson

When it began to look like the1955-56 boys basketball seasonmight make a repeat trip to Madi-son, followign in the footsteps ofthe 1950 team, it may have seemedlike an impossible dream. Onceagain, it was a small high school of95 students competing for one ofeight spots in the state finals, dueto the nonexistance of a class sys-tem at the time. Coach Roy Ebben,who had guided the team since1938, left teaching and coaching totake a full time position at theKohler Co. His replacement, AndyAnderson, had most of his prior ex-perience in football. It was a schooltradition to have one head coachfor both football and basketball.The team was young and ladenwith underclassmen. They had6‘5” Jim Gascoigne ( his brotherDick starred on the 1950 team) andtwo outstanding sophomores inKen Schmeling and Dick Newton.They also had some good playersin Bill Strenger, Jim Schoemer, JimBoerner and Mel Neese. Kohlerwent through the season with 4losses.

Tournament play started with awin over Random Lake, followedby two close wins over Oostburgand Cedar Grove, which sent theteam to the district playoffs wherethey defeated Sun Prairie. Then itwas on to the Whitefish Bay Sec-tional, where the Kohler team wasup against Milwaukee Lincoln,West Milwaukee, and their oldnemesis, New Holstein.

What happened in the sectionalat Whitefish Bay was unbelievableand improbable. Sheboygan Presssports writer Dwight Pelkin’s lead-in to his game report went thisway: “So Kohler wasn’t going any-where!!!!! So the Bombers “didn’tfigure in this Whitefish Bay Sec-tional Tournament!!!! Well, thisThursday, because a bunch of boysin blue and white just wouldn’t quit(what is the word anyway- CoachAndy Anderson and his kids don’tknow it), Kohler High School willbe one of the eight elite schoolsfighting for the championship ofWisconsin prep basketball.”

Kohler’s first game in the sec-tional was against Milwaukee Lin-coln. The Bombers trailed for mostof the game and with just over aminute left, they were behind by ascore of 61 to 54. Lincoln was in adelay game to run out the clockand Kohler was pressing. Kohlerbrought the score to 61-60 with 14seconds to go and Lincoln had theball out of bounds. On the inbound,a Lincoln player fouled KenSchmeling and he would have twofree throws coming with twelveseconds on the clock. He coolymade both free throws to giveKohler their first lead of the night.Lincoln’s desperation shot failed atthe buzzer and the Kohler team andfans were ecstatic. As they cameoff the floor, they passed the NewHolstein team, which was about to

take the floor against West Mil-waukee. No doubt, New Holsteinwas making plans for Madison,since all they had to do was win thefirst game, and Kohler would beeasy. New Holstein had an out-standing season with only one loss.They had to come through thelarge school regional where theybeat Two Rivers, then SheboyganCentral at the Armory. They haddefeated the Bombers twice duringthe regular season 51 to 41 and 74to 47. They would not get theirchance for a state bid, though, asthey had a disastrous game and fellby a score of 58-48.

West Milwaukee and Kohlerplayed a great high school basket-ball game. Again, the Bomberstrailed for most of the game. Theywere behind 50 to 47 with a minuteto go. West Milwaukee was hold-ing the ball, but a steal and a basketmade it a one point game. It was ahectic last 50 seconds as Kohler re-gained posession of the ball, but ajump ball was called with four sec-onds to go. The ball was tipped andplayers were scrambling for itwhen Kohler’s Dick Newton gotcontrol and launched a long shotfrom the sideline. It was in the airbefore the final buzzer sounded,and Kohler scored a 51 to 50 vic-tory and another trip to Madison.The Kohler team and fans brokeout in a frenzy, while West Mil-waukee’s team and fans werestunned.

At the state tournament, theBlue Bombers bested Osseo in thefirst game winning 67-58 sendingthem into the semi-finals, but theylost a close game to Appleton, 65-60. Kohler played a runners-upgame on Saturday and lost to SaukPrairie 59-54 finishing 4th at State,which was a great accomplishmentfor a small town team that wasnever expected to make to state forthe second time in only six years.

Other members of the 1956team included Carl Hocevar, BillFlader, Carl Mallman, SteveZeitler, Ron Siebeling, and JeffSmith. Assistant coach was GlenFunk. Kohler still played in the vil-lage recreation hall at that time.The new gymnasium, auditorium,and swimming pool would open in1957. Coach Andy Andersonwould continue coaching until1960, followed by an illustrious ca-reer as a high school footballcoach, in which he lead SheboyganSouth to their best season ever. An-derson then went on to coach atLakeland College and StevensPoint. He also served on the KohlerSchool Board. The Blue Bomberswould not return to Madison for 15years. Stay tuned for a look at theseventies.

Editor’s note: Interestingly, it wasdiscovered during research for thisarticle that a starting forward forthe Milwaukee Lincoln team wasAl Jarreau, who went on to becamea world renowned jazz singer.

I think much of his coaching success was his constantencouragement to all practice all year, back lot style.” Reinemann said his grandchilldren in Wyoming “got a charge” out of reading theFebruary article by Bruce Erickson.

Sugar Shack Songs and KitchenTable Romps:Quebec’s De Temps Antan Turns the Past into a RollickingParty on North American Tour, Feb-April 2011

De Temps Antan will tell you:There's no right place to learn asong. They've picked up tunes insugar shacks on the U.S.-Canadianborder as the maple sap bubbled.They’ve spent weeks diggingthrough tens of thousands of dittiesin university archives. They'velearned ballads from granddadsand uncles, in villages where thou-sands of traditional songs are aliveand thriving.

But there is a right way to per-form them: with all the foot-stomping, tongue-twisting energyof a good old Quebecois familyparty. That’s why the trio of vet-eran French Canadian roots musi-cians laughs out loud, dashes out avirtuosic stream of mouth music,or clogs for all their worth, as au-diences across the U.S. andCanada will in February-April,2011. The music demands it.

“For us, it’s not only the storyof the music we need to tell,” ex-claims accordionist Pierre-Luc

Dupuis, “but we try to live thestory on stage, to really get acrosswhat you’d hear and feel and doduring a family party.”

All three musicians hail fromsmall Quebecois towns and ma-jorly musical families. They grewup hearing relatives jam on fiddleand guitar, or following their leadon the call-and-response songscommon at kitchen parties. Theechoes of these good times ring onthe fun-loving Cajun-flavored “Lamaison reenforcée,” learned in asugar shack, or the onomatopoeicoriginal “Pétipetan,” both fromHabits de Papier (L-A be/Select;2010).

Yet the trio also followed theirroots deeper-and further afield-transforming tradition with fresh,technically astute musicianship.These roots extend into the diffi-cult past endured by Francophonecommunities in North Americaand show the musical ingenuity ofgenerations of Quebecois.

The fancy footwork the triodoes-all three bring their foot-boards to tap on tour-stems fromthe days long ago when dance par-ties, powered by a lone fiddler,needed a good strong beat to keepthe couples going. The solution: sitthe fiddler on the table and let himtap his feet. “To amplify the foottapping, the fiddler would get upon the table and tap in middle ofkitchen,” Dupuis notes. “Thatwould make it much louder and geteveryone in the whole house danc-ing.”

Festive mouth music numberslike the quicksilver “La turlutte de

rotoculteur” alsohave a long (andtragic) history: “It’sa way to remembera tune, or dancewithout an instru-ment,” explainsDupuis. “I’veheard, for example,that when theFrench settlers were driven out ofthe Maritimes centuries ago, theyused turlutte to avoid losing theirrepertoire.”

De Temps Antan, a double-en-tendre name meaning both “fromtime to time” and “in olden days,”got together as a side project whenDupuis, guitarist Éric Beaudry, andfiddle player André Brunet wereplaying with the Quebecois supergroup La Bottine Souriente. Prac-ticing and performing the occa-sional gig when they had the time,De Temps Antan honed both theirmusical bonhomie and their abilityto move large crowds. “Our ap-proach has stayed the same inmany ways, even though we are amuch smaller band,” Dupuis says.“You have to play grooves andhave fun on stage. You have to betight and keep the same energy.”

Now that the time-and-againproject has become a full-timedeal, the group is on a constantquest for interesting old material.They have scoured archives, un-covering gems like the sorrowful“Jeune et Joli.” They have learnedfrom older musicians, like Gaspéfiddler Édouard Richard sand hisreels (one forms part of “Roma aulac bell”). They have heard new

songs amongfriends, relatives,and neighbors:Beaudry’s home-town of Saint-Côme is famous inQuebec traditionalmusic circles as thecapital of tradi-tional song, and

Beaudry managed to collect morethan 1,000 tunes there.

The group loves experimentingwith new sounds for these oldchestnuts. Take “Dominic a Mar-cel,” a silly song with some seriousgrit. “The song comes from NovaScotia, but we decided to plug thebouzouki into an old amp for thisgrungy sound,” Dupuis recalls.“We were inspired by the southernmusicians we’ve played with overthe past few years at festivals, allthe bluegrass and old-time andCajun players we’ve met.”

De Temps Antan are also creat-ing the traditional favorites of thefuture, like Brunet’s gentle “La féedes dents,” an homage to the toothfairy’s arrival, following a longline of songwriters and tunesmithswho created Quebec’s rich musicalheritage. “You can play traditionaltunes all your life, but if you don’tcompose new stuff, there won’t beany traditional stuff to play,”Dupuis comments. “We have lotsof great composers in Quebec whoadd new rich tunes to the tradi-tional repertoire. Our grandparentscomposed, and we’re keeping thattradition alive.”

No Gas Required – Promoting Non-MotorizedTransportation in Sheboygan CountyBy Emily Vetting – Nonmotorized Pilot Program Project Specialist

If you visit the basement of alocal coffee shop in Sheboygan onWednesday evenings, you will no-tice an astonishing sight: over 100bicycles of all shapes and sizesreaching from wall to wall.

Thanks to the generous supportof several regular volunteers andKate Krause at Paradigm CoffeeHouse, the ReBike program hasproven successful in providingover 65 bicycles to area residentsin need of basic transportation.Members of the Boys & GirlsClub, Big Brothers Big Sisters andarea residents have become proudowners of bicycles after participat-ing in the program.

been running strong since April of2010. No matter your age, you arewelcome to meet at the coffee shopon Wednesday evenings and takepart in a bicycle repair workshop.After a few hours, you can earnyour very own bike through yourefforts.

At a typical workshop, volun-teers help participants with bicycleselection, assist in proper repairtechniques in restoring the bike,and provide safe cycling informa-tion and ‘rules of the road.’ Oncethe participant has invested two tothree hours working on the bike,he or she may take it home – that’sall there is to it! If the bicycle isnot already equipped with a bikelight, one will be provided so theproud recipient can ride safelywith a flashy new accessory. A

helmet must be worn if the bike isto be ridden away from ReBike;information regarding where to ob-tain a free helmet will be providedif the participant does not alreadyhave one.

Numerous individuals fromaround the County have kindly do-nated their unwanted or unused bi-cycles to the program, whilebicycles and parts have also beendonated by Wolf’s Cycle and Fit-ness, Sheboygan Bicycle Com-pany, and Terry’s Bike Shop. TheSheriffs’ Department and City ofSheboygan Police Departmenthave also provided a large numberof bikes, most of which were lostby or stolen from the owners andremained unclaimed. A wide spec-trum of bicycle types are availablefor all users, ranging from youth

sizes to adult men’s and women’sbikes. Some are in very good con-dition, while others can only besalvaged for their parts.

By providing a bicycle to arearesidents in need, the ReBike pro-gram seeks to promote recycling,encourage a healthier and moresustainable Sheboygan, teach valu-able life lessons, and promote so-cial skills among area youth.Bicycling is sometimes forgottenas a viable form of transportation,and the goal of ReBike is to re-mind everyone how fun and prac-tical biking to your destination canbe!

Submitted by Carrie Pieper The Kohler Chess Club

started its season December

3rd, 2010 and extends until

March 5th, 2011. Fourty stu-

dents from senior kinder-

garten through 7th grade are

registered in the club and an

average of 30 students show

up each Friday after school

to practice and develop their

skills in chess. The parent

volunteers for this group are

Alex and Carrie Pieper, who

have been active with

Kohler’s Chess Club the last

three years. On Saturday,

February 19th, the Kohler

Chess Club held its 4th An-

nual WSCF (Wisconsin

Scholastic Chess Federation)

Tournament, hosting 101

students from Sheboygan,

Green Bay, Fond du Lac,

Plymouth and of course,

Kohler.

Kohler students that repre-

sented the K-3 Division were

Brady Bates, Sam Biznek,

Samual da Silva, Joe Diet-

rich, Ethan Dillon, Owen

Multer, John Senti, Christo-

pher Zhang and Sophia

Zhang. The K-3 Kohler team

earned 15.5 points as a team

and walked away with the

First Place Team Trophy,

while Joe Dietrich earned

himself a 5th Place trophy

and Owen Multer earned

himself a 4th Place trophy.

This was not the first team

trophy for the K-3 Team.

The Kohler K-3 team (Mul-

ter, Dietrich and Bates) have

also won a Third Place Team

Trophy at the Sheboygan

Christian Chess Tournament,

where Brady Bates earned

himself a 2nd Place trophy.

Also, at the Holy Family

School Chess Tournament,

the Kohler K-3 team (Bates,

Unger and Dietrich) earned a

Third Place Team Trophy,

where Dietrich earned a 4th

Place trophy and Bates

earned a 5th Place trophy.

While winning trophies is a

neat experience, the kids

love the competition, the ca-

maraderie and meeting new

people.



Jacob Foster, Harrison

Karbe, Adam Multer and

Christian Pieper. The K-5

team earned themselves 8

points which put them in

sixth place for their division.

Pieper and Diego Plaza also

played at the Holy Family

School Chess Tournament.



Dominic Carey, Allison

Pieper, Lydia Waniorek and

Nathan Waniorek. The K-8

team earned themselves 10.5

points which put them in

fourth place for their divi-

sion. The Kohler K-8 team

of Carey, Pieper, L. Wan-

iorek and N. Waniorek also

played at the Holy Family

School Chess Tournament.

At the Sheboygan Christian

Chess Tournament, the

teams were K-6 (Harrison

Karbe, A. Pieper, C. Pieper,

D. Plaza, and L. Waniorek)

and K-12 (D. Carey).

On February 12th, Acuity

held its 6th Annual All Girls

Chess Championship where

A. Pieper placed 20th and L.

Waniorek placed 28th of 40

girls in the K-12 Division.

The Kohler Chess Club

hopes to send teams to tour-

naments on March 5th at St.

Dominics and on March

12th to Southern Door.

There are tournaments all

throughout central Wiscon-

sin up through April. You

can find where and when at

www.wisconsinscholastic-

chess.org .

Alex and Carrie Pieper

would like to say a great big

THANK YOU to all of our

volunteers and others that

made for a great day…Lisa

Bates, Allen Wanek, Heather

Torke, Ev Baka, Judy Wan-

iorek, Lora Dillon, Vicki de

Silva, Sue Jaberg, Jeni Rydz,

Chef Ted (and his staff),

Lloyd Bleuel and the WSCF

representative of Thomas

Lynieus.

As for the question as to

why Kohler has a chess

team. It began with Cather-

ine Delahunt and her passion

for chess. Thank you Cather-

ine Delahunt! She started the

first Chess Club and that is

when the Piepers entered the

world of chess. Studies have

shown that when kids start

chess at a young age, there

are many beneficial effects

on learning development.

Below are some of the most

critical benefits that chess

can provide to a child:

* Develop analytical, syn-

thetic and decision-making

skills, which they can trans-

fer to real life.

* Learn to engage in deep

and thorough chess research

which will help them build

their confidence in their abil-

ity to do academic research.

* Help children gain insights

into the nature of competi-

tion which will help them in

any competitive endeavor.

* When youngsters play

chess they must call upon

higher-order thinking skills,

analyze actions and conse-

quences, and visualize future

possibilities.

* In countries where chess is

offered widely in schools,

students exhibit excellence

in the ability to recognize

complex patterns and conse-

quently excel in math and

science.

If chess is something that

you or your child is inter-

ested in, there are other vari-

ous organizations that hold

regular sessions throughout

Sheboygan County. As for

the Kohler Chess Club, our

last practice will be March

5th, and the kids of Kohler

will have to wait until next

school year when we begin

to meet in December 2011.

Mango is free for all library patrons,

and offers a fast and convenient solution

for our community’s increasing lan-

guage-learning needs. Each lesson com-

bines real life situations and audio from

native speakers with simple, clear in-

structions. The courses are presented

with an appreciation for cultural nuance

and real-world application that integrates

components of vocabulary, pronuncia-

tion, grammar and culture. Users learn

actual conversation, breaking down com-

plex conversational elements within an

audio-visual framework that allows the

user to draw important connections be-

tween pieces of information they have al-

ready learned.

Mango is available in two versions.

One is Mango Complete, a 100-lesson

course that is designed to provide a deep

understanding of a language and its cul-

ture. It is available in nine foreign lan-

guage and three ESL courses. The

second is Mango Basic, which teaches

everyday greetings, gratitudes, goodbyes

and helpful phrases in a short period of

time and is designed to appeal to a begin-

ner in a new language. The courses,

which require only two to five hours of

time to complete, are currently available

in 22 foreign languages and 15 English

as a Second Language (ESL) courses.

preview of what the program has to offer,

stop by the library and we will give you

Residents can now requesta vacation check on-line through the Kohler Po-lice Department’s web page www.kohlerpo-lice.com, by stopping by the department orcalling. If you call outside of regular businesshours you may leave a message too. In yourmessage just include your name, address, dura-tion of your vacation and any other pertinent in-formation that we may need to know. Somepertinent information may include lights that areon timers, alarms, and names of persons thatmay stop by or keyholders. Any other questionsabout this service, please call the police depart-ment.

Part-time Officer Position: The Kohler Police

Department has had two or three part-time offi-

cers for many years. These officers fill a vital

role during special events and filling in for full-

time officers when necessary. Recently part-

time Officer Jarrod Fenner resigned. Officer

Fenner had been with the department since

April 1998, when he began his law enforcement

career. He then became a full-time deputy for

Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Dept. in 2001 and

continued on in Kohler as a part-time officer.

The Kohler Police Department is now down to

only one part-time officer and is actively seek-

ing applications for that position. If you are

aware of any one that would be interested in a

part-time position, please have them contact me

at [email protected] or have them call

459-3877.

The Kohler Police Department with the help of

a grant through the State of Wisconsin has tran-

sitioned to Electronic Traffic Warnings and

Electronic Traffic Citations. Our department

needed to become compliant with the new traf-

fic stop data collection requirements of the State

of Wisconsin. The technology has existed in the

State of Wisconsin for about 6 years, but before

was cost prohibitive. Through this grant, the of-

ficers now will be able to electronically print

out these documents and then save them to their

computers. The information then gets transmit-

ted electronically to the State and to the Munici-

pal Court. The officers will eventually be able

to print accident reports in the squads for added

efficiency. The ultimate goal is to be able to

have a paperless records system and to be more

efficient in our policing. All the police depart-

ments in Sheboygan County will eventually

have this technology. The Kohler Police Depart-

ment was able to implement more quickly

largely due to Administrative Assistant Jodie

Kuklinski’s efforts.

From Public WorksSuperintendentBruce Neerhof:To find out if a snow emergency is in effect forthe Village; call 459-3881 anytime, visit ourwebsite, or WHBL News Radio 1330AM. Thereis no parking on village streets during a snowemergency. A snow emergency is called whenaccumulation is expected to exceed four inches.Snow emergencies are typically called from8:00 AM until 12:00 PM to give the snowplowsan opportunity to clear the streets with no carsin the way.

SNOW REMOVAL:

Here are some reminders on Village snow re-

moval ordinances and policies:

1. Please remember to shovel your sidewalks

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 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 – front as well as 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.

CLEAR WATER

INSPECTIONS:

The Village of Kohler is under directive from

the DNR to enforce state and village codes pro-

hibiting foundation drains and clearwater (such

as sump pumps) from discharging to the sani-

tary sewer. The Village Building Inspector must

perform an inspection of the sump pump, floor

drains, etc. A typical inspection will take ap-

proximately 15 minutes and there is a $50.00

fee.

If you are a new resident or will be moving out

of the Village in the near future, please be ad-

vised that before any property is sold or trans-

ferred, a clearwater inspection must be made

per Village Ordinance. Please contact the Build-

ing Inspector, Bruce Neerhof, at 459-6469 to

arrange an appointment. Please direct any ques-

tions about the inspection or clear water re-

quirements directly to Bruce Neerhof.

Every Drop CountsDid you know that an American home canwaste, on average, more than 10,000 gal-lons of water every year due to running toi-lets, dripping faucets, and other household

leaks? Nationwide, more than 1 trillion gal-lons of water leaks from U.S. homes eachyear. That’s why WaterSense remindsAmericans to check their plumbing fixturesand irrigation systems each year during Fixa Leak Week. Fix a Leak Week 2010 savedmillions of gallons of water across the na-tion!

Fix a Leak Week, sponsored by the U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense®program, takes place in March. It’s a timewhen families are encouraged to check forwater leaks and drips in bathrooms, kitchens,and yards at home. For more information,

visit www.epa.gov/watersense/fixaleak.

Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide

Alarms:

As of February 1, 2011, there are Wisconsin

requirements for both smoke alarms and carbon

monoxide alarms in almost all one- and two-

family dwellings, regardless of the building’s

age. The new carbon monoxide safety net is for

dwellings with fuel burning appliances, fire-

places or attached garages.

Owners and Renters Have Responsibilities

Owners are responsible for alarm installations

and occupants have responsibility to maintain

the alarms. Owners must repair or replace

alarms within five days of written notice from

an occupant or an inspector. Authorized inspec-

tors may enter dwellings to inspect alarms when

requested by owners or occupants. Tampering

with alarms is illegal, dangerous, and can cause

serious liability concerns.

Where and What Kinds?

Alarms must be installed in the basement, and

on each floor level. The alarms need not be in-

stalled in attics, garages, or storage areas. The

alarms may be separate or combination units,

powered by batteries, or in the case of new con-

struction, tied into the home’s electrical system,

interconnected with battery backup. Installation

must follow manufacturers’ instructions. Those

instructions are provided with new alarms and

usually can be found on the manufacturers’ Web

sites. The manufacturer should be identified on

the alarm. Alarms used in Wisconsin must be

approved by Underwriters Laboratories. Code

language is in Comm 21.09 and 21.097, Uni-

form Dwelling Code, and Comm 28, Smoke

Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors.

http://legis.wisconsin.gov/rsb/code/comm/com

m021.pdf


m028.pdf

Carbon monoxide is a gas created by incom-

plete burning of fuels. Carbon monoxide is col-

orless, odorless and tasteless, but highly toxic. It

can build up over time, with unrecognized

symptoms such as headaches, nausea, disorien-

tation, or irritability eventually building to un-

consciousness and fatal poisoning. Carbon

monoxide alarms warn of the gas before it

reaches dangerous levels. Examples of some

carbon monoxide sources are garages, heaters,

fireplaces, furnaces, appliances or cooking

sources using coal, wood, oil, kerosene, or other

fuels. Electric appliances are not carbon monox-

ide sources.

Alarms do not guarantee safety

Alarms must be tested regularly and should

have batteries changed at least annually, or

when a low-battery warning sounds. The alarms

must not be painted over and should be kept

clean. Alarms should be replaced when they

reach the end of their life span.

Multifamily buildings

Buildings with more than two residential units

also need smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

The installation requirements for those multi-

family dwellings are different. Rules for alarms

in multifamily dwellings and other public build-

ings are in the Wisconsin Commercial Building

Code, Comm 61-66.

Procedures for school closings due toinclement weather:

We ask parents to discuss this issue with their children

now – before the actual emergency occurs. If you are gen-

erally not home during the day, be sure your child knows

where they are to go if school closed early: will they go

home with a classmate; an older sibling; or a relative? Have

you made prior arrangements with this individual to be on

“stand by” for these occasions? Please make your arrange-

ments in advance and make sure your child is fully aware

of what to do in case school closes early.

Any decision to close school for all or any portion of a

school day will be made as early as possible in order to af-

ford parents the opportunity to make alternate child care

transportation plans. All closing announcements or early

dismissals will be made on the Kohler School web site

www.kohlerpublicschools.org and the following area

Global Learning and Observations toBenefit the Environment GLOBE is a worldwide

program composed of stu-

dents, teachers, and scientists

that work together to inves-

tigate and learn more about

the environment. Students

and their teachers across the

globe are in charge of col-

lecting and sharing data with

other scientists and pro-

grams. Students in over 109

countries participate in

GLOBE data collection led

by over 36,000 trained teach-

ers. The Kohler GLOBE

Program is among 19,000

other schools that also col-

lect data across the globe.

The GLOBE program in

Kohler is made up of sopho-

more students in College

Prep Biology And General

Biology. These students

share the responsibilities of

collecting and recording at-

mospheric data every school

day. Older students in Col-

lege Prep Chemistry, Ad-

vanced Honors Biology, and

College Prep Physics con-

tribute to the collection of

hydrology data during the

fall and spring. These stu-

dents make up the Kohler

Testing the Waters Team.

The atmospheric data col-

lected by students in

GLOBE is entered onto an

international web-site data

base. Students enter meas-

urements like high and low

temperatures, amounts of

precipitation and pH, cloud

type, and relative humidity.

When combined with other

data presented by students

and teachers throughout

countries around the world,

scientists can interpret and

observe changes in the

environment. Overall, this
