Greetings,
The sights, sounds
and flavors of Italy are
all available July 9th
and 10th as Destination
Kohler, funded by the
Kohler Village Tourism
Committee, presents A
Celebration of Italy.
There will be Italian inspired musicians, Ve-
netian Gondola rides on Wood Lake and Fer-
raris on display by the Ferrari Club of
America. The shops and restaurants will be
featuring Italian clothes, jewelry,
perfumes/fragrances, wines, gelatos and
other traditional Italian fare to delight your
palate. Giant sand sculptures will be on
hand carved by internationally known
artists. Also, on display for your enjoyment
will be an Italian masterpiece created by
Sidewalk Chalk Artist, Jay Sterling. This
event will take you as far away as your mind
will let you go.
The Village of Kohler and the City of
Sheboygan Falls have entered into talks on
the creation of a joint fire district. Although
still in the initial planning stages, with many
issues to be resolved, it is envisioned that the
joint fire district would provide the follow-
ing benefits:
= Improved level of service
= Long term cost savings through the
elimination of duplicate capital outlays
= Improved ability to obtain grants and
outside funding
= Larger pool of volunteer members
= Improved training and sharing of train-
ing facilities
= Potential for increased fire rating
which is advantageous to business in-
surance rates
The Kohler Village Board is supportive
of investigating the possibility of the cre-
ation of a joint fire district with the City of
Sheboygan Falls. The Chiefs and Assistant
Chiefs of both departments are working to-
gether and meeting monthly with the goal of
putting together a proposal. If an agreement
can be reached at the Chiefs level, it will be
presented to the Kohler Village Board and
Sheboygan Falls Common Council for ac-
tion. Please feel free to any Kohler Village
Board member, our Fire Chief, Michael
Lindstrom, or me regarding the possibility
of combining the two fire departments. I will
keep you informed as developments occur.
Im thrilled to report the new Lost Woods
Park Shelter is seeing heavy use and has re-
ceived nothing but rave revues from those
who have had the opportunity to enjoy this
facility. A refrigerator is being added to the
food preparation area as well as two new
outdoor grills for those wishing to barbeque
and/or fry out. Also, another great addition
to our community, the new childrens zero
entrance pool with water park features, was
completed on June 11th and is open for the
youths enjoyment. The Kohler Village
Board anticipates heavy use of this exciting
new facility as well.
Work has begun on the reroofing of the
Kohler Memorial Hall in conjunction with
the Kohler Schools reroofing project. The
beginning of this project marks the end of
several large capital improvement projects
for the Village of Kohler. In the last year the
Village of Kohler has repaved School Street,
built the Lost Woods Park Shelter, built a
new childrens swimming pool, air condi-
tioned the Memorial Theater in cooperation
with the Kohler Company and, finally, the
reroofing of the Memorial Hall. These proj-
ects have all been undertaken with a planned
approach, prudence, and coupled with cost
saving measures that have yielded no net in-
crease for the Village portion of your taxes.
The future for the Village of Kohler looks
very bright. There are no large capital im-
provement projects on the horizon, our debt
is low and our ability to borrow is high if
there would be a need. With half of 2010 be-
hind us, your Kohler Village Board is al-
ready looking ahead and excited about the
opportunities 2011 presents.
Until next time

How do I choose a nursing
home for my Dad? There
are so many choices.
Choosing an appropriate nursing facility
for yourself or a loved one can be daunting.
Think of a nursing facility as a menu of
services. Before you make a decision, con-
sider the following:
Visit the homes that interest you. This
gives you a chance to see the quality of
care and life of the residents.
Inquire about choices offered. Whether
you need a short stay for rehabilitation or a
long term stay for chronic conditions or
disabilities, knowing what a facility offers
is an important piece in making an in-
formed decision.
Talk to staff, residents and family mem-
bers. They have first hand knowledge of
the facility. Pay attention to cleanliness,
odor and staff interaction with residents.
Quality Improvement campaigns, such
as Advancing Excellence in Americas
Nursing Homes, are a good indicator of a
homes commitment to improving quality.
Inquire if the home you are considering
participates in any such program.
Being involved and informed from the
beginning helps to provide a smooth tran-
sition and better prepare you for your stay
Visiting state and federal websites can
assist in additional information regarding
facilities but by no means replaces an on-
site visit.

Long Term Care or Respite stays to:

WADE HOUSE HISTORIC SITE
The Kohler volunteer fire depart-
ment has had a busy spring this year.
In late March, they were called to a
Grafton Court home to investigate an
incident of carbon monoxide poison-
ing that sent the resident to the hos-
pital by ambulance; in April, they
battled a foundry fire at Kohler Co.
for seven hours where flames shot as
high as 30 feet; on May 18, they
joined departments from all over the
county to help battle a major house
fire in the Town of Sheboygan; and,
less than a month later, the depart-
ment was called on to bring its inflat-
able Zodiac boat to Lake Michigan
to aid in the search for a missing 9
year-old.
The Kohler fire department is oc-
casionally called upon to respond to
incidents outside its jurisdiction as
part of the Mutual Aid Box Alarm
System (MABAS). This intergovern-
mental emergency response system
allows neighboring fire departments
to help each other in times of need,
when their resources become over-
taxed by extra alarm fires or mass ca-
sualty incidents.
Deputy Chief Gary Lindow said
that fire officials from participating
MABAS agencies within a district sit
down together and pre-plan every
possible incident scenario for each
municipality. These predetermined
scenarios are then printed on whats
referred to as a box card, which Lin-
dow described as a recipe for a fire
call. When a department realizes it
can not contain an incident alone,
they contact the local MABAS dis-
patch office and request the appropri-
ate equipment and manpower based
on the list of predetermined assign-
ments on the cards. This system
streamlines and standardizes re-
sponse procedures for mutual aid
calls, and alleviates the confusion
that often ensues when verbal re-
quests for different types of equip-
ment and personnel are exchanged
back and forth between fire depart-
ments and dispatchers during the
height of an emergency. This system
is also helpful for volunteer firefight-
ers when they respond to an incident
where a senior officer isnt present to
advise them about what type of
equipment is needed.
The MABAS bill (SB 642) was
approved by the Wisconsin State
Legislature and signed by Governor
Jim Doyle in 2006. Participation in
the mutual aid program is voluntary,
and twenty counties have formally
established MABAS divisions. Fire,
rescue, and emergency medical serv-
ices and equipment provided under
MABAS are at no charge between
municipalities. Expenses recovered
Kohler volunteer fire department
shares services as part of mutual aid
program
The Kohler fire department investigates a home where a resident was overcome by carbon monoxide
gases due to inadequate ventilation during use of paint spraying equipment in the basement.

Wisconsin chef Christine Campbell picks
NOURISH local food philanthropy as
beneficiary
Sheboygan WI, June 26, 2010 - Local food
is the focus as Chef Christine Campbell goes
to bat against some of the top chefs in the
country in the Sears Chef Challenge to raise
money for NOURISH Farm to Family Phi-
lanthropy. Campbell, a chef in Plymouth
WI, was picked via a nationwide search to
participate in the Sears Chef Challenge - a
nationwide contest that invites aspiring
chefs to enter for a chance to win a new
kitchen and up to $20,000 donated to a char-
ity of their choice.
There is a local food revolution taking
place, says Chef Campbell, and everyone
deserves access to it. Campbell chose
NOURISH at the urging of one of NOUR-
ISHs partnering farmers, Stephanie Bartel,
the owner of Old Plank Farm. NOURISH
goes beyond the norm and uses local food
experiences to inspire diverse groups of peo-
ple to eat well and work together, says
Campbell.
NOURISH founder Carol Christensen
couldnt be more thrilled. To have NOUR-
ISH highlighted in a national competition
with a fantastic chef like Christine is just
amazing.

NOURISHs mission is to link local farm-
ers and volunteers with struggling families
through experiences that nourish their body
and soul. NOURISHs cornerstone program
is the Farm to Table Tour, where small vol-
unteer groups, some driving to Sheboygan
from Chicago, work for an afternoon at sus-
tainable farms to harvest a variety of vegeta-
bles. The group then loads up the vegetables
and follows their NOURISH tour guide to a
shelter where the freshly harvested vegeta-
bles become part of that nights dinner; pre-
pared side by side with the homeless. A
volunteer chef is on hand to help. If you
know a few cooking basics you can eat really
well without a lot of cash, says Chef Mike
Zeller, one of the first NOURISH chefs. We
are here to teach people to cook and eat well
and we do it with food fresh from the farms.
Its inspiring to all involved. The volunteers
and the residents at the homeless shelter then
share the freshly prepared dinner that
evening, family style.
In addition to its tours, NOURISH offers
a Snack Attack program bringing fresh
local vegetable snacks to low income kids
via Snack Ambassadors and a Harvest
Hotline group that rescues fresh
vegetables in need.
The positive response to
NOURISH programs and com-
munity need has outpaced our
funding, says Christensen. Our
Farm to Table Tours are now
filled until October. To have
recognition, and possibly up to
$20,000 in funds from a national
contest like the SEARS Chef
Challenge is beyond our expec-
tation. She then chimed in,
Vote daily for NOURISH Chef
Christine Campbell!
Readers are encouraged to
vote for Christine Campbell
every day from June 26-July 10
at www.searschefchallenge.com
to help NOURISH fund local
farm to table food programs.

Booster Club mobile
concessions trailer made
possible by local businesses
When a group of Kohler parents
noticed that other towns and commu-
nities had more opportunities to sell
concessions at their kids events, the
idea of a portable concession trailer
was floated around. Dr Jeff Herold of
Kohler took the lead and sought out
eight major donors kind enough to
contribute toward the purchase of
such a trailer. Those donors are:
Kohler Co., Sargento Cheese Co.,
Great Lakes Plastic Surgery (Dr
Herold), Burkhart Heisdorf Insur-
ance, Heiden Co., Sheboygan Sur-
gery Center, Sheboygan Internal
Medicine Associates group and
Johnson Bank. Kohler resident Jim
Hapeman, president of Franzen
Graphics, donated his companys
skills and materials to produce logos
and other graphics that appear on the
trailers exterior.
The 12 ft. long trailer, which was
unveiled at the Kohler Classic and
presented at the June School Board
meeting, has electrical capacity to
handle interior lights, a hot dog
warmer, coffee maker, hot water
steamer and a popcorn machine. Its
interior is completely finished in nat-
ural oak paneling with display
shelves. A menu board donated by
Lakeside Pepsi hangs on the back
wall.
Plans are to utilize the trailer for
events such as tennis matches, base-
ball and soccer games, the Kohler
Classic, and other school sponsored
events where concession facilities
werent previously available. I feel
it will be a valuable addition to the
school and hopefully will add an-
other revenue source for the Booster
Club that does so much for our kids,
said Dr. Herold.
Inquiries regarding usage of the
concessions trailer may be directed
toward the Booster Club.

Blue Bombers send six athletes to
state, poised for big season in 2011
Kohler sent five tennis players and one
track and field hurdler to state this spring,
and narrowly missed a state trip for the golf
team. Only two of those athletes were sen-
iors, so coaches have high expectations for
next spring. But what was especially un-
usual about the talent this spring, is that half
of the twelvekids who excelled in their re-
spective sports were only freshmen, includ-
ing the no. 1 singles and doubles tennis play-
ers, and three of the top four scorers on the
golf team.

Spring sports wrap-up
Kids can still sign up
for Tennis Mini Camp
Several openings still exist in session two
of total tennis mini camp to be held July 26-
30 from noon-3 each day. The camp will be
lead by Kohler tennis coach Wendy
Tauscheck with help from fitness trainer
Erika Tauscheck and former Kohler High
school tennis player Charlie Reinertsen. Con-
tact Wendy at (920) 912-6136 or
wendy.tauscheck@gmail.com for complete
information.
The Kohler boys tennis team wrapped up
another successful season with a dual meet
record of 14-5. The team placed fourth in the
EWC with 32 conference points and a 5-3
record. All-conference winners include
Adam Kellner/Austin Neerhof (1st place at
#2 doubles), player Tyler Lewis (3rd place
at #1 singles) and Austin Van Treeck/Tim
Kaufmann (3rd place at #3 doubles). Out-
standing sportsmanship was exhibited all
season long by the Kohler players, said
coach Wendy Tauscheck.
The highlight of the season came with
five Kohler players being selected as special
qualifiers to the WIAA State Individual Ten-
nis Tournament in Madison June 3-5. Fresh-
men Tyler Lewis (#1 singles), Kyle Struck/
Tim Valicenti (#1 doubles), and junior
Austin Neerhof/senior Adam Kellner (#2
doubles) all competed at the Nielsen Sta-
dium, with Tyler and Austin/Adam winning
their first round matches before falling in the
second round to top-seeded players.
Team awards were presented at the end-
of-season party hosted by the Lewis family.
Senior captain Adam Kellner was awarded
the MVP plaque, sophomore Andrew Good-
ell received the Most Improved Player
plaque and the True Blue award, given to
the player who exhibits the most dedication
and team spirit, went to junior Austin Neer-
hof. Super Senior medals went to Peter
Cope, Douwe VanderSchaaf, Austin Van
Treeck and Tim Kaufmann. Fabulous
Freshmen medals went to Tyler Lewis, Tim
Valicenti and Kyle Struck.
All five players were named to the She-
boygan Press All-Area Tennis Team on June

Blue Bombers golf season ends in a
heartbreaker, but future looks bright
Success has become second nature for
the Kohler boys golf team the past 6 years.
The team has won more than ninety per cent
of their matches including several confer-
ence, regional, and sectional titles as well as
trips to the state tournament. With only one
letterwinner (Jenna Peters) returning, 2010
was expected to be a rebuilding year for the
program. But the young team defied those
expectations by compiling a 9 -1 dual meet
record, and never finished worse than tied
for second in any of the five large tourna-
ments they competed in this year.
The team entered the post season with
equally high expectations, and passed the
first test by winning their third WIAA Divi-
sion 3 regional title in the past five years at
Blackwolf Run with a team score of 339.
This score was good for a three stroke vic-
tory over main conference rival, Sheboygan
Lutheran. But even after winning regionals,
head coach Dirk Willis knew that his young
Blue Bombers had a tough challenge ahead
of them. Their sectional at Lawsonia Golf
Course in Green Lake would feature six of
the top ten Division 3 teams in the state as
ranked by the Wisconsin High School Golf
Coachs Association. With only two quali-
fying spots for the state tournament in Madi-
son available, several teams faced leaving
empty handed. I knew it would be tough,
recalled Willis, we were by far the
youngest team there and I knew we would
have to play well to have a chance. The
golfers did exactly that. Ranked number 5 in
the state heading into the event, the Blue
Bombers came within one shot of winning
the entire event. However, when Jenna
Peters ten foot birdie slid past the 18th hole,
they found themselves in a three way tie for
second place. At the end of regulation play
only one team had punched their ticket to
state: number 2 ranked Lake Country
Lutheran was crowned sectional champions
with a team score of 330. In limbo at 331
were number 3 ranked St. Marys Springs,
number 6 ranked Oshkosh Lourdes, and
Kohler.
Per WIAA regulations, a sudden death
tiebreaker was required to determine the sec-
ond qualifying spot for State. All five play-
ers from each of the three teams would play
the same hole, with the four lowest scores
for each team counting. Kohler performed
well in the play off with Logan Willis, Jenna
Peters, Nick Scheppmann and Alex Gray all
recording pars to give Kohler an even par
score of 20. Unfortunately, this was not good
enough as St. Marys Springs recorded three
pars and one birdie for a team score of 19 to
claim the second team qualifying spot for
the state tournament. Had they qualified for
state, the Blue Bombers would have had the
distinction of being the first team in WIAA
history to make it the Boys State Tourna-
ment with two girls on their roster, Logan
Willis and Jenna Peters. A bittersweet end to
the season, but the team is already looking
forward to next year.
I think the team is going to use this as
motivation to work on their games and im-
prove. They were all upset that we were so
close, but then they very quickly refocused
and said to themselves, what do we need to
do now to make sure this doesnt happen
again next year? That is what competitors
do. I am confident they will put in the work
and play in tournaments this summer to
make sure they come back next year even
stronger, said Willis.
With the top 5 players returning next sea-
son, the Blue Bombers look poised to be the
team to beat next season. This group of
players has as much natural talent and is
more advanced at a young age, than any
group of kids I have had in the last 7 years,
says Willis. I think they have a chance to
be a great team the next few years.
#1 Varsity: Jenna Peters (Junior)
Jenna continued the 2010 season right where she
left off in 2009, as one of the top players in the
Central Lakeshore Conference and one of the top
ranked junior girls in the state. Jenna led the Blue
Bombers in scoring average this season. Her nine-
hole competitive average of 38.5 set a Blue
Bomber Junior Class Record, breaking the record
of 38.6 set my her brother Ryan in 2005. Jenna
played well in most of the teams large events with
individual finishes of 3rd place at the 16-team Plat-
teville Invitational, a 3rd place finish at the 6-team
Sentryworld Invitational, a 3rd place finish at the
10-team CLC Tournament, 1st place at the 10-
team WIAA Regional and 7th place at the 12-team
WIAA Sectional. Jenna earned All-Conference
Honors for the 2nd straight year and will be nomi-
nated for All-State for the second straight year
(voted 3rd Team All-State in 2009). The highlight
of Jennas season came at Blackwolf Run during
Regionals, were she ran away with the Individual
Regional Title by a whopping 8 strokes. She cov-
ered the Blackwolf Run course in an even par 72
strokes, which tied the schools record for Low 18-
hole Score in Relation to Par. A record also held
by her brother Ryan. As current team MVP and
Captain, Jenna will lead next years team once
again. If the team is fortunate enough to qualify for
state, Jenna should be considered an odds-on fa-
vorite to contend for an individual state medal.
#2 Varsity: Logan Willis (Freshman)
Two years ago when Jenna came along, it was a
bit of surprise around the Central Lakeshore Con-
ference that a girl (let alone a freshman girl) was
quickly establishing herself as a player to beat. Not
the case with Logan, as the word quickly spread
in 2008 that another Kohler girl with similar talents
would be joining Jenna in two years. Logans per-
formance lived up to those expectations as she fin-
ished the season with the teams second lowest
scoring average and also ranked among the top
10 scoring averages in the Central Lakeshore
Conference. Her nine-hole competitive average
of 41.6 set a Blue Bomber Freshman Class
Record, breaking the record of 42.2 set by Jenna
in 2008. Logan had high individual finishes in sev-
eral of the teams large tournaments including: 6th
place at the 16-team Platteville Invitational, 10th
place at the 10-team WIAA Regional and 8th
Place at the 12-team WIAA Sectional. Her finish
at Sectionals (according to WIAA records) is the
highest individual placing by a freshman girl at a
boys golf sectional in at least the last 15 years
(records dating prior to 1995 are not available).
Maintaining a 4.0 GPA, Logan will be nominated
for both Academic All State and All State awards.
The voting results for these awards will not be
available until following the 2010 WIAA Girls Golf
Season this fall.
#3 Varsity Nick Scheppmann (Freshman)
Nicks performance as a freshman came as no
surprise to many people in the conference and the
Sheboygan area golf community. For the last few
years Nick had been recognized as one of the top
juniors in the area for his age group. Nick finished
the season with a nine-hole competitive stroke av-
erage of 41.8, also bettering the previous fresh-
man school record and ranking among the top 10
scoring averages in the Central Lakeshore Con-
ference. Nick posted top ten finishes in two large
events this season, 9th place at the 6-team Sen-
tryworld Invitational and 4th place at the 10-team
WIAA Regional. Nicks strengths as a player
(power, combined with a very soft touch around
the greens) make him a player capable of very low
scores when he is hitting the ball well.
#4 Varsity Alex Gray (Freshman)
Like Nick, Alex was a successful player in local
junior tournaments prior to joining the team. Alex
started his high school career off with a bang, by
shooting a 39 in his very first high school varsity
match. Not only was he the low scorer for the team
in that meet, but his score is the lowest known
score in team history for a player in their very first
meet. Alexs season scoring average was also
among the top 10 in the Central Lakeshore Con-
ference. Averaging 42.7 for the season, Alexs
nine-hole average also ranked among the top per-
formances in team history for a freshman. Alex
saved perhaps his best performance for the end
of the season, shooting an 83 on the long and very
difficult Lawsonia Links course at Sectionals. This
score was good for a tie for 10th place individually
in the 72 player field.
#5 Varsity Andy Hammes (Junior)
Andy had what would be considered a breakout
year in 2010. Coming off a disappointing sopho-
more season, Andy re-dedicated himself to be-
coming a better player. Andy had always been a
powerful player, but in the past lacked the control
to take full advantage of that strength. Hard work
paid off and Andy lowered his nine-hole competi-
tive stroke average by nearly 6 shots from 2009 to
2010. His 2010 stroke average of 42.8 earned him
the Most Improved Golfer award for the team.
Andys average (5th lowest on the team) ranked
11th among all players in the Central Lakeshore
Conference. Andy posted one ten finish in a large
tournament this year, 8th place at the Sentryworld
Invitational. His role as 5th man on the team is piv-
otal to the teams future success. Teams with 5th
men that can consistently put up low scores act as
a safety net, usually resulting in high finishes in
most tournaments.
#6 Varsity (reserve) Travis Meyer (Senior)
Travis is the epitome of what a team player should
be. In 2009, 4 of the teams top 6 players gradu-
ated. Most years Travis would have moved di-
rectly into a varsity position the next season, but
with three talented freshmen he knew he would
start the season in a reserve role. When Travis
did get his chance, he took advantage of it. He
recorded a *counting score of 42 against Oostburg
and a team low score of 43 against Stockbridge.
When Andy Hammes was sidelined late in the
season with a hand injury, Travis stepped in to
compete at the Conference Tournament and WIAA
Regionals. During both events Travis recorded
*counting scores for the team. Travis nine-hole av-
erage for the season was 46.0; this constituted a
10-stroke improvement over his 4 years with the
team. For dedication to the team during his ca-
reer, Travis was awarded the True Blue Award for
Sportsmanship and Team Commitment and the
Jimmy Lohr Memorial Golf Scholarship.
*In high school golf, 5 players compete for each
team. The low 4 scores for each team count to-
wards that teams total score.

Now is the time to treat tomatoes
and potatoes for late blight
UW plant pathologists advise commer-
cial growers and home gardeners to begin
fungicide treatments to help prevent late
blight in tomatoes and potatoes according
to Mike Ballweg, UW-Extension Agricul-
tural Agent for Sheboygan County. Late
blight, says Ballweg, is a devastating plant
disease which wiped out much of the
tomato crop in eastern Wisconsin in 2009.
It is the same plant disease that caused the
great Irish famine which destroyed Ireland
potato crops in the 18OOs.
While the disease has not yet been re-
ported in Wisconsin, there are confirmed
cases in UP Michigan and Benton Harbor
in the southwestern corner of Michigan.
These are in close enough proximity to pose
a threat to WI. Late blight reports have
emerged from MD, PA, KY, southern Man-
itoba, Canada and most recently NY and
CT. Thus far, all have been on tomatoes.
Sprays containing either copper for or-
ganic gardeners or products with the active
ingredient chlorothalonil are effective at
preventing this devastating disease. Treat-
ment must begin before infection occurs
and applications need to be repeated as new
leaves develop throughout the season usu-
ally every 5 to 10 days depending on the
weather and fungicide labels. Late blight
disease is more active during cool, wet
weather and progresses more slowly when
it is hot and dry. Under ideal conditions, in-
fected plants will die in 7 to 10 days.
Spores move on the wind spreading the dis-
ease up to 40 miles at a time and leapfrog-
ging to cover huge areas quickly. Fungicide
products are readily available at most local
retailers that carry garden pesticides.
Late blight should not be confused with
other common diseases of tomatoes. Late
blight causes pale or olive green blotches on
the leaves that quickly turn brown-black,
water-soaked and oily looking. Dark brown
to black patches can also form along the
stems. On the tomatoes themselves, the dis-
ease causes large, sunken, golden- to choco-
late-brown, firm spots with distinct rings. A
grayish fuzz can form eventually on leaves,
stems and tomatoes.
The other two common diseases of
tomato, septoria and early blight, have ei-
ther small, circular spots with tan centers or
larger brown spots with a bulls-eye pattern.
These begin on the lower leaves, turning the
leaves yellow at first and then brown and
dry. They do not affect the stems and do not
spread rapidly, seldom killing the plant.
Fortunately, the fungicides recommended to
treat late blight are also effective in treating
septoria and early blight.
If you have the misfortune of developing
late blight on plants in your garden this
year, do not compost any parts of the plants.
Instead, pull out plants roots and all, bag
them in black plastic and leave them in the
sun for several days before disposing of
them in the trash. Remove all infected po-
tatoes from the ground and treat similarly.
Growers can shallowly turn under infected
plants so that all spores are killed by freez-
ing this coming winter.

From Police Chief
Bill Rutten:
Bike Safety Day: On June 5, 2010 the
Kohler Police Department held a bike
safety day in the parking lot adjacent to the
Village Hall building. We had approxi-
mately 75 participants this year with per-
fect weather. Officer Matthew Hocevar and
Administrative Assistant Jodie Kuklinski
did a good job in preparing for the event
this year. Harley from Wolf's Cycle was
present and did a safety inspection on each
bicycle. Each attendee received a new bi-
cycle helmet and a bike accessory along
with a beverage and a bag of chips. The bi-
cycle helmets were generously donated by
the Habush, Habush & Rottier Foundation
out of Milwaukee, who also assisted with
the fitting of the helmets. The chips were
donated by Frito Lay of Oostburg and the
soda was donated by Lakeside Pepsi out of
Sheboygan Falls. We all look forward to
doing it again next year. Pictures of the
event are posted on the Kohler Police De-
partment website at ww.kohlerpolice.com.
Special Olympics Law Enforcement
Torch Run: For many years, law enforce-
ment has been a big supporter of the Spe-
cial Olympics by participating in the Torch
Run and fund raising. This year I ran por-
tions of the Sheboygan County leg of the
Torch Run. This occurred on the morning
of June 10th, which started in Sheboygan
and then ran from the Kohler Police De-
partment to the Sheboygan Falls Police
Department. Officers from Sheboygan PD,
Sheboygan County Sheriffs Department
including Sheriff Helmke and myself from
the Kohler PD, all took turns carrying the
torch. Events such as these raise awareness
in society that everyone is not as fortunate
as us and we should all try to give back
when we can.

National Honor Society inducts new members
College Student Brings ACT Prep from the
Ivy League to Sheboygan County
Sitting in a bare, unfamiliar cinder-block
room with a few pencils and large test book,
high school students brace themselves for
three or more hours of grueling examination.
For those students who took the ACT last
Saturday the 12th, this scene is all too famil-
iar. Every year countless high school stu-
dents across the state dread these looming
test dates. Since American collegiate insti-
tutions see it as a universal metric of apti-
tude, the ACT has been the bane of existence
for countless high school students with
dreams of going to a university.
This summer, a young entrepreneur who
beat the ACT herself (and made it to Har-
vard in the process) is trying to change that.
Last month, Ashley Schneider (Harvard
13) has returned to her hometown, Elkhart
Lake, to launch the areas first dedicated
ACT preparation program. She is working
with Ivy Insiders, which started as an inno-
vative approach to SAT training crafted by
Harvard students in 2003 and has since
grown into a comprehensive program that
has helped over 4,000 students raise their
ACT scores by an average of more than 4
points. Ashley joined Ivy Insiders after
proving hers test taking mettle, scoring
higher than 99% of the nations high school
students on the ACT and emerging at the top
of a large application process that covered
other Ivy League schools like Yale, Brown,
Princeton, and Cornell.
This is such a great program! she
stresses. I am honored to be a part of it, and
I am personally invested in everyones suc-
cess. Taking the insight of over 100 per-
fect-scorers that work in Ivy Insiders
curriculum department, Ashley is excited to
pass their knowledge, and a bit of her own,
on to local students.
Helping others is the driving reason be-
hind Ashleys campaign for higher ACT
scores. She earned the title manager of the
week, in the words of her boss, for her
amazing passion for using her position to
help others. Everybody has a stretch
school that they wish they could get into.
And higher ACT scores could help achieve
that dream.
At the time Ashley took the test, she had
no idea ACT prep programs existed. If I
had known about any opportunity that could
help me feel less insecure about myself be-
fore taking the exam, I would have jumped
on it, she says. But things like that just
didnt exist around here when I went to high
school.
I took the ACT not too long ago, and I
know how stressful it can be. So lending a
hand and being a mentor to students who are
in the same position that I was not too long
ago is how I really wanted to devote my
summer. Ashley is committed to helping
her students; she isnt in this job for the
money. She has already hosted two free
workshops and given advice to over 30 stu-
dents to help them feel more confident be-
fore test day.
The 2009 Elkhart Lake High School
graduate was shocked when she arrived on
the east coast and realized that most of her
classmates from private schools had some
formal ACT training prior to taking the
exam. I never realized just how serious
other kids were about their practice. Every-
one out there went to courses taught by Ka-
plan and Princeton Review. Their parents
are spending thousands of dollars in an at-
tempt to squeak out just one more point. Our
area is lacking in this preparation. We are at
a huge disadvantage, and we dont even
know it. Ashley hopes to give local stu-
dents a competitive edge against other stu-
dents who went to private schools and
received more training, but are applying to
the same colleges.
Thankfully, no one will have to spend
thousands of dollars for this two-week sum-
mer course. Though relatively new, Ivy In-
siders is the rising star of the test prep world.
With its trademark Game Theory curricu-
lum that teaches how the ACT is a game to
be beaten, score improvements with Ivy In-
siders are double most of their more tradi-
tional competitors. Also, with the lowest
prices in the industry, there is little wonder
about the source of their success and
growth.
The sticker price on the summer course
is $599, but Ashley is more than willing to
give out discounts. I am all about accessi-
bility. I want everyone that wants it to be
able to take this class. Every student should
be able to take advantage of this great serv-
ice. For example, just go to the web page
checkout and enter the discount code
WI2E1. Thatll save you $150 right there.
Scholarships are also available for students
that wish to take advantage of them.
Ashley is committed to all of her stu-
dents success. There are a lot of unfair
things about the college admissions process,
but the one that annoys her most is that the
playing field isnt level. In other places,
theres an inescapable culture of test prep
that leaves those kids, regardless of their
true merit, in a much better position to get
into top colleges. I really want to change
that for kids around here. If I can help just
one student be accepted into his or her
dream college, like I was, then my summer
will be complete.
Ivy Insiders courses will be offered in
July and August, and private tutoring will
be available throughout the summer. For
more information, visit
www.ivyinsiders.com, email
Ashley_schneider@ivyinsiders.com or give
her a call at (920)377-6352.

Economics Students Visit
Chicago
Submitted by Heather Reader-
Schubert
Considering the current financial
climate, it is more important than
ever to make sure our future genera-
tions have a sound understanding of
economic principles. Economics is
not just something we read about in
a textbook, but rather it is something
that affects us all, no matter what our
current situation. And what better
way to learn about economics than to
see its applications first-hand. On
April 14th, 11th and 12th grade Eco-
nomics students traveled to Chicago
to visit the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago, view the two trading floors
at the Chicago Board of Trade, and
experience the Willis (Sears) Tower
Skydeck, the tallest building in
North America (which, in 2009 as-
sumed the name Willis Tower,
after a London holding company of
the same namea testament to the
ever-increasing level of globaliza-
tion.) In addition to our stops, Mr.
Mark Molepske, who works in the
Willis Tower for Ernst & Young,
took time out of his busy schedule to
meet with us at lunch to discuss
some of the important issues facing
business today. He offered the stu-
dents incredible insight into what
they need to do as high school and
college students to be competitive in
the global marketplace.
Besides the tours, students experi-
enced rail transportation (Amtrak)
from Milwaukee to Chicago (and
back, obviously), had the opportu-
nity to view downtown architecture,
and were able to check out the Great
Hall in Union Station. (Any Un-
touchables fans out there?) Oh, and
we cant forget the Chicago-style
pizza!
Overall, it was a beautiful day!
Everyone had a great time and we all
learned something new.
Our Kohler School students celebrated National Transportation Week with the Kohler Company. Students were able to tour one of Kohler
Companies biggest semi-trucks and pull the horn. Our elementary students held a food drive to kick off the week. Students received
pencils and prizes from the company for their food drive efforts. The company also provided each student with a popsicle treat which
was well received on one of our last days of school.
Students celebrate National
Transportation Week
Editors note:I asked AJto finish his
career as a Kohler Times guest colum-
nist by being this months featured
senior. Thanks to AJ to for his
monthly contributions, and never
missing the deadline! Welcome to
Cole Brock, who has assumed the
role as the new Getting to know KHS
seniors columnist.
