Private event brings George and Laura Bush to Kohler
By Mary Struck, Editor/Publisher
Former president George W. Bush
and his wife, Laura, snuck into Kohler
on September 30 to attend an inaugu-
ral reunion of nationally recognized
Entrepreneur Of The Year winners.
The reunion, held at The American
Club, was hosted by Ernst & Young
and world-class CEOs, including Herb
Kohler, a past award winner.
A small crowd of onlookers gath-
ered from among Kohler parents pick-
ing up school children as police placed
barricades on a section of Church
Street behind The American Club, and
police-escorted black SUVs rolled in.
Surrounded by security personnel,
Bush exited the back of The American
Club and marched up to greet resi-
dents, at one point asking the name of
a dog belonging to Mark and Barb
Quasius, as they watched the activity
from their front yard. To see more pho-
tos, visit the photo gallery link at

Greetings,
Supposedly, summer
is over and the fall
season has been here
for several weeks.
Weather reporters
tell us that there usu-
ally is the sprinkling
of early snow show-
ers, blustery low
temperatures, etc. Well, the fall of 2010 has
been similar to a heat wave. And, now, the
morning headlines blare out with the mes-
sage: HEATING COSTS LIKELY TO BE
MILD THIS WINTER. Might be a good
plan to spend your savings at the end of the
season and not before that.
Your Village Board Committees have met
to plan their departmental budget proposals
for 2011. The full Village Board has met two
times, and will meet a third time before the
final 2011 Budget Proposal proceeds to the
Budget Hearing. The final Budget Workshop
is scheduled for Monday, November 8th,
5:30 p.m. The Public Budget Hearing is
scheduled for Monday, November 29th, at
5:30 p.m. These meetings are open to the
public: YOU ARE MORE THAN WEL-
COME TO ATTEND. These meetings are
held at the Village Hall in the Board Room.
It should be noted that the Village Board is
most intent in doing what they can do for
controlling the mill rate for 2011.
At the October 18th Special Board Meet-
ing, the Village Board unanimously ap-
proved that an evaluation of the structure of
the Recreation Department be done. This
was recommended by the Compensation
Committee. This will be done, via an ad-
hoc committee, during the time-frame of
December, 2010 to February, 2011. The re-
sults of the evaluation will be presented to
the Compensation Committee by March 4,
2011. This report will be presented to the full
Village Board at the March 14, 2011
monthly Board Meeting.
The Non-Motorized Transportation Grant
for Sheboygan County is moving ahead on
a fast track. It is anticipated that the 2012
project for the Kohler Area will be bid next
spring, with construction work to begin by
July, 2011. This would be a full year ahead
of the current project plan. Barring more re-
visions, the contract should be fully exe-
cuted within the next three-five weeks.
If you have walked around the Kohler
Village-School Building in the past several
months, you have certainly noted that the
roof replacements are well underway. The
projects, for both the school and the village,
should be completed by the end of the month
or early November. Walsdorf Roofing, the
major contractor, has done a superb job in
meeting deadlines as they have worked
around the multiple schedules for the Village
of Kohler.
With the Holiday Season upon us, you
may want to consider being a part of the
2010 Community Christmas Tree. This
Kohler Village Tradition began in 2006 to
celebrate the launch of the Holiday Season
at the Kohler Shopping Center. The Com-
munity Christmas Tree will be erected in the
plaza between ARTspace and French Her-
itage at The Shops at Woodlake Kohler. The
Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony will
begin at approximately 6 p.m., on November
26th.
Our condolences are extended to Lori and
Scott Neurohr with the untimely death of
their son, Kyle. He was a sophomore at UW-
Whitewater and was killed in an automobile
accident on October 16th. Lori has received
recognition several times for her work at
Kohler Schools. Recently, she was named as
one of the State Teachers of the Year. Again,
our thoughts and prayers are with them and
their families.
Finally, it would be remiss on my part if
I didnt make mention of the pending con-
tract negotiations between Kohler Co. and
the Workers Union for the Kohler Com-
pany. It is my personal hope that the two
sides will continue to reach out and find a
solution that is workable for the Kohler Co.
and its employees.
Best of wishes
John Egan,
Interim Village President

I met with my moms care planning
team where she has been admitted.
They talked about resident centered
care and the importance of pursuing
this model for her stay. What is this
and how is it achieved?
Resident-centered care is a philosophical ap-
proach to nursing home care that honors and re-
spects the voice of elders and those working
closest with them. It involves a continuing
process of listening, trying new things, seeing
how they work, and making changes in an effort
to individualize care and de-institutionalize the
nursing home environment. Elements of resi-
dent-centered care include knowing the person,
maximizing choice and autonomy, comfort,
nurturing rela tionships, and providing a sup-
portive physical and organizational setting. The
emphasis of care is on well-being and quality
of life as de fined by the individual.
Resident centered care encompasses a wide
range of options, but the theme that defines
most efforts in this area centers on determining
consumer preferences and encouraging choice.
In long-term-care settings, where residents both
live and receive medical care, there is consensus
that it is important to offer residents choice
about all aspects of their lives, including those
aspects that directly affect quality of life.
Residents have the right to make decisions
and to be included on the care planning team al-
lowing their hopes, practices, dreams and goals
be the center of creating an individualized plan
of care. Residents are offered choices and en-
couraged to make their own decision about per-
sonal issues like what to wear, daily activities,
meals or when to go to bed. Many facilities cre-
ate a more homelike and less institutional set-
ting.
Nursing homes that strive to provide resi-
dent-centered care find ways to bring respect
and dignity to every person and enrich their
lives. Residents live happier, fuller lives be-
cause theyre able to make more choices and
decisions about their lifestyle and their families
enjoy better family relationships by being more
involved in care.
