New construction or remodeling
plans in your future?
Be sure to allow time for approval process
Village property owners are advised that
building permits from the Village of Kohler
are required for construction projects that
include, but are not limited to, home remod-
eling, garages and sheds, signs, fences, and
satellite dishes. The Village Plan
Commission approves building permits for
all such projects, as well as for new home
construction and zoning changes.
Plan Commission meetings are held the
first Thursday of each month at 5:00 p.m. at
the Village Hall. Since most projects are
time-sensitive, it is important for applicants
to note that all plans must be submitted by
Wednesday of the week prior to the meeting
date to be included on the Plan Commission
agenda for the upcoming meeting. Contact
the Village Clerk/Treasurer for more infor-
mation at (920) 459-3873.
In addition to the requirements listed
above, which apply to all property owners
within the Kohler Village limits, most prop-
erties within the Village are also subject to
deed restrictions and design guidelines
administered by Kohler Co. If this is the
case for a particular property, the property
owner will be asked by the Village Plan
Commission to receive approval from
Kohler Co. for all plans prior to final
approval by the Plan Commission.
Property owners can find out whether
their property is subject to Kohler Co.
review by examining their deed language
regarding home modifications. Property
owners who do not have a copy of their
deed on hand can obtain one from the
Sheboygan County Register of Deeds
Office, 518 New York Avenue, Sheboygan.
In most cases, the deed language will
require that Kohler Co. approve plans for
modification that change the exterior of the
home or footprints of buildings. Changes to
driveways and the removal of trees will also
likely be covered.
Kohler High Commencement will be June 10
According to Kohler Co., the following
items should be submitted for review:
1. Site plan of existing and proposed. This
is required if changes are proposed to
the footprint of a home, driveway loca-
tion or removal of trees, or if adding an
accessory building, fence, or building
addition. The site plan must indicate the
first floor elevation of building addi-
tions, grades, dimensions to property
lines, and dimension to other structures
on the property.
2. Pictures of areas of the home being
impacted.
3. If applicable, blueprints of proposed
changes.
4. If the proposed changes involve chang-
ing the outside material of a home, or
adding a new material, samples of the
material should be submitted.
5. Homeowner contact information, includ-
ing name, phone number, address of
property for modification, and address
for owner communication.
Plans should be submitted to:

An applicant will receive a formal writ-
ten response to his or her request after
review by Kohler Co. A copy of the
response letter will also be sent to the

Elkhart Lake, Wis., April 12, 2007 -
Road America has announced the creation
of its Road America Motorcycle School.
The Road America Motorcycle School is
endorsed by the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation (MSF) and the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation (WisDOT).
Successful completion of the school's basic
rider course enables participants to obtain a
Class M endorsement on their driver's
license from the WisDOT.
Two MSF-designed courses will be
offered by Road America: the Basic Rider
Course (BRC) and the Experienced Rider
Course (ERC). The BRC consists of 16
hours of combined classroom and practical
riding instruction. Participants in this
course learn basic riding techniques along
with important safety skills to minimize the
risks of motorcycling. Participants will use
Suzuki GZ250s which are supplied by Road
America. The course fee is $250.00. The
ERC is for riders looking to sharpen and
build on the skills learned in the BRC. It
consists of one hour of classroom and five
hours of practical instruction. Riders must
use their own motorcycles. The course fee
is $125.00. Road America provides the
instruction for both courses in its con-
trolled, off-street environment. The courses
are offered April through November. Acur-
rent schedule of courses is available by call-

Kohler Executives Host Junior
Achievement Students
If you havent made any mistakes,
you're probably not doing something worth-
while, Karl Lubke of Kohler Co. shared
with students from Sheboygan Falls High
School last Tuesday when they met with six
senior executives at Kohler. The students
are participating in the Junior Achievement
Company program this semester in their
Business Management class with Mr. Graig
Stone. The JA Company program allows
students to start and run their own company
for a semester. As part of their organization-
al process, students must create bylaws,
apply for positions in one of five depart-
ments, and elect a company CEO.
Sheboygan Falls students came up with the
company name, Innovation Unlimited,
which they feel captures their creative abil-
ities.
JAcompany program volunteers Nathan
Matson and Rohit Thali, both Kohler asso-
ciates, have been working with the class
since February. It's important for kids to
get a real world perspective on what they
are doing in school, Matson explained,
What I like about the JA program is that
the kids have ownership in the entire com-
pany process. Its really a unique opportu-
nity.
Matson and Thali arranged for the stu-
dents to meet with Ron Pace, President of
Plumbing Americas, Laura Kohler, Vice
President of Human Resources, Cynthia
Bachmann, Vice President of Engineering,
Gordon Wuthrich, Director of Marketing,
Jeff Cheney, Vice President of Finance, and
Karl Lubke, Director of Operations -
Plastics. Students came prepared with
questions about market research, motivat-
ing employees, product development, and
what a normal day might look like for
each executive. We got to hear about the
broad spectrum of Kohler, not just the spe-
cific stuff, said Cody Bohn, an 11th grade
student at Sheboygan Falls High School.
Ashley Lorge, President of Innovation
Unlimited recalled that they told us that
communication and problem solving are
huge, and we have to listen to our target
consumer, not just what we think might
sell.
The purpose of the visit was for the stu-
dents to hear first-hand what it takes to be
in leadership positions. Pace shared with
the students that he had been involved with
the JA Company program when he was in
high school and learned some valuable les-
sons. At the time, our product orders ran
much higher than we thought and we ran
out of stock quickly. As the VP of
Production, I had to figure out how to fill
orders quickly.
It was very informative, said Ashley
Nelson, VP of Human Resources in
Innovation Unlimited, It was really neat to
hear all the different aspects of business.
Maghan Kuehl, a member of Nelson's
human resource team added that we really
appreciated the effort that [the executives]
made.

Achievement, contact Meg Roman at 458-

Junior Achievement Board of
Directors meet at Kohler
The Sheboygan County Junior
Achievement Board of Directors held their
annual meeting at the Kohler Public
Schools on Wednesday, April 11th. It was
exciting to have an impressive group of
community leaders in our school environ-
ment, said Kohler Elementary Dean of
Students Susan Jaberg.
The J.A. Board received presentations
from various Kohler students. Ann Marie
Beine, a Kohler High School junior, dis-
cussed the value of J. A. with the panel.
Kohler 6th grade teacher Matt Bayens and
his students Kelly Burkart, Katie Anderson
and Greg Suralik presented information to
the board regarding their experiences with
the J.A. program.
Kohler School Superintendent Jeff
Dickert was also in attendance along with
Kohler residents Laura Conklin, Karl
Linck, and John Renzelmann, all Junior
Achievement Board members.

Bike Safety Day: The Kohler Police
Department in conjunction with the Village
of Kohler Recreation Department is again
sponsoring the Bike Safety Day on
Saturday June 9
th
at 12:30 pm. The event
is being held at the Village Hall. Licenses
are required and are available for $2.50 for
any bikes with wheels larger than 16.
Anyone that needs a license can download
the bike license form from www.kohlerpo-
lice.com and have it filled out before you
arrive. There will be forms available the
day of, but it would make that portion go
more quickly. All participants will receive
an inspection of their bike, a free helmet
and a bike accessory. We will also be sup-
plying free soda and chips after the days
events.
FEMATraining: As the Village of
Kohler Emergency Management Director,
I was recently sent to attend FEMA train-
ing at Emmitsburg Maryland. The training
was fully funded by the Federal
Government and held at the Emergency
Management Institute. Village President
Tom Leonhardt also attended, as one of the
duties of the Village President is to declare
a State of Emergency when needed. The
flooding of portions of the Village in 1998
would be an example of that. The training
will help the Village if/when it needs to
respond to such situations. Every year the
Villages Emergency Operations Plan is
updated to assist those responding during
an emergency. Aspects of that plan are:
when and who to call during an emergency
to assist in clean up or special response
teams. Other aspects of the training were
finding ways as a community to lessen the
impact that a disaster may have on your
community by using hazard mitigation
techniques. The Village of Kohler has
already instituted some of the more com-
mon techniques, like having buried
power/communication lines. The Village
will continue to look for ways to improve
on mitigating potential problems.
Are you prepared for an Emergency?
Another aspect of emergency planning for
a community is trying to get the message
out that each family have a plan if an
emergency affects their home. Are you
prepared for a short power outage, or loss
of water pressure? Does your sump pump
have battery backup if you lose power for
several hours? Do you have a kit at home
to provide food and water for three days in
the event of a major disaster? The nation
seems to be getting hit with natural disas-
ters all the time, assistance for large areas
may take time to have power grids
restored or water systems repaired. For
more information on how to prepare your-
self or your home, go to www.kohlerpo-
lice.com and click on our link to the
Emergency Preparedness site.
