After four years of serving the commu-
nity as Village President, Tom Leonhardt has
decided not to seek re-election.
Over the years, he served the community
as a school board member, a trustee for the
Village Board, and on the fire department
and various commissions and committees.
I want to thank all the people of the Vil-
lage for the privilege and opportunity to
serve you. I feel that I have brought people
together for the advancement of the commu-
nity, Leonhardt said.

Greenfield speed limit change part
of overall transportation plan
Late in 2007, the Village adopted a new
comprehensive plan to fulfill the require-
ments of Wisconsin statutes. One of the
chapters, Transportation, contained several
goals, including the following: Encourage
the development of a trail and sidewalk sys-
tem that provides a safe environment for res-
idents to travel throughout the Village and
Ensure pedestrian crossings provide reason-
able safety and convenience. When the Vil-
lage Board, Plan Commission, and
Long-Range Strategic Planning Committee
met in June of 2008 to prioritize the 59 goals
in the comprehensive plan, both of these
goals were ranked in the top 25 and the first
goal was ranked in the top 10.
In the meantime, Sheboygan Countys
Non-Motorized Transportation grant pro-
gram was approaching its final funding op-
portunity in September. When the groups
met again later in the summer, they decided
the Village should focus even more strongly
on transportation improvements. Subse-
quently, the Village, the School District, and
Kohler Co. submitted a joint grant applica-
tion that included, among several items, 1)
an enhanced at-grade crossing on Greenfield
Drive to connect the school and southern
part of the Village to the athletic fields and
northern half of the Village, and 2) sidewalk
extensions through Ebben Field that would
funnel pedestrians and bicyclists to the
Greenfield crossing.
The application was approved by the
Countys Citizen Advisory Technical Com-
mittee at its December 4 meeting.
The final decision will be made by the
County Boards Joint Resources and Trans-
portation Committee (JRTC) on January 7 at
4:30 p.m. at the Sheboygan County Admin-
istration Building. Although not a given, the
JRTC will likely go along with the Citizen
Advisory Technical Committee recommen-
dation.
The proposed crossing on Greenfield
Drive between the school and athletic fields
will cost approximately $57,000, which will
be reimbursed to the Village by the County
if the grant is approved. The crossing will be
lit with at-grade LED signal lights as well as
two LED lit Pedestrian Crossing signs. The
crossing itself will be six feet wide and use
stamped colored concrete. The speed limit
was recently lowered from 35 mph to 25
mph in anticipation of the crossings con-
struction.
A previous proposal for a crossing on
Greenfield featured a pedestrian bridge at a
cost of about $1 million. This proposal was
not approved by the Village Board (as part
of the TIF project) or the Countys JRTC (as
part of a previous Non-Motorized Trans-
portation grant application). The Village,
School District, and Kohler Co. also consid-
ered upgrading the tunnel, which would need
to become ADA accessible, but two past ap-
plications to the Countys Non-Motorized
Transportation grant program were denied.
Why was the speed limit reduced to 25
mph all the way to Sheboygan Falls?
Some residents of Kohler and Sheboygan
Falls have questioned why the speed limit on
Greenfield Avenue couldnt be kept at 35
mph between Sheboygan Falls and the
school. Kohler Police Chief Bill Rutten said
that many drivers werent abiding by the 35
mph speed limit as it was, and keeping the
higher limit in place between Rangeline and
Woodland would not get people to slow-
down by the time they reached the school
area. Plus, school kids and other pedestrians
and cyclists cross Greenfield on Woodland
Road as well as the trail from the Arboretum
area. Another hazard was created when
Ebben Field gates were left open after foot-
ball games, and spectators were trying to
cross 35 mph+ traffic in the dark to avoid
using the tunnel. So, when the Village Board
asked the Police Department to enforce
lower speeds past the school, Chief Rutten
suggested the limit be reduced the entire
stretch in order to maintain consistency be-
tween Sheboygan Falls and Highland Drive.
Rutten also said that Greenfield, which
passes through school property, is no longer
intended to be the County highway thor-
oughfare it once was when it was the old
Hwy 23, and later, Hwy C. Greenfield has
been a Village Street since about 1991, and
the law states that all Village streets are 25
mph unless otherwise posted.
Chief Rutten said he performed a timed
test drive of the entire length of street that
had the speed limit reduced, and it only took
about 40 seconds longer to drive 25 mph in-
stead of 35.

recommended approval of sidewalk segment #1 and either #2 or #3. (Photo courtesy of Sheboygan County)

ew 2008-09 School Funding
umbers Released
Taken from Joe Leibhams Capitol
Connection column
On November 17, the non-partisan Leg-
islative Fiscal Bureau provided its annual re-
port of net general state school aids
payments to all school districts for the 2008-
09 school year. Following is a listing of these
updated numbers for the school districts in
the 9th Senate District. For your reference, I
have also included the enrollment, property
value per student and total levy per student
for the 2007-08 school year, all of which
were used to calculate the net general state
school aids for school year 2008-09. I have
also included the amount of the total 2008-
09 school levy for each district as provided
by the state Department of Public Instruction
(DPI).
When reading the table, please note the
following: Enrollment signifies the num-
ber of students attending school in the school
district, Property Value Per Student 2007-
08 represents the cumulative total value of
all property in the district during the 2007-
08 school year divided by the number of stu-
dents enrolled, Total Funding Per Student
2007-08 is the amount of combined state
and local funding received by the district for
the 2007-08 school year divided by the num-
ber of students enrolled, Funding from
Local Property Taxes 2007-08 is the
amount of school funding received via their
local property tax levy, New Funding
from Local Property Taxes 2008-09 is that
same number updated for 2008-09 and
Total 2008-09 Net State General School
Aids is the amount of funds that each dis-
trict will ultimately receive from the State of
Wisconsin.
The state school funding formula also
known as the equalization aid formula is
very complex. In general, the formula oper-
ates under the principle of equal tax rate for
equal per-student expenditures. This means
that a school districts property tax rate does
not depend on the property tax base of the
district, but rather on the level of expendi-
tures. The provision of state aid through the
formula allows a district to support a given
level of per-student expenditures with a sim-
ilar local property tax rate as other districts
with the same level of per-student expendi-
tures, regardless of the value of the property
within the district. There is an inverse rela-
tionship between equalization aid and prop-
erty valuation. Districts with low per-student
property valuations receive a larger share of
their costs through the formula than districts
with high per-student property valuations.

Federal court keeps Girl
Scouting alive and well in
Manitou
Girl Scouting is very much alive and well
in Manitou Council. In a long anticipated
opinion from the United States Court of Ap-
peals for the Seventh Circuit, a unanimous
court confirmed on Monday that Girl Scouts
of Manitou Council would have been ir-
reparably harmed if the court had not
stepped in last September to enjoin Girl
Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) from going
through with its threatened taking of more
than sixty percent of Manitous territory and
giving it away to another council. We are
absolutely thrilled with the opinion, said
Liesl Rice, president of the Sheboygan
based, nonprofit Manitou Council. This
means the high quality fun leadership pro-
gram Girl Scouts of Manitou Council is
known for will continue to be available.
Manitou Council has been the local coun-
cil and source for Girl Scouting in all or por-
tions of the Counties of Calumet, Dodge,
Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Ozaukee, Sheboy-
gan and Washington since 1950. The high
quality of Manitous Girl Scout program has
never been questioned. In our last perform-
ance assessment conducted by GSUSA, re-
counts Rice, the reviewer said we were the
best managed council she had ever seen.
Yet, Manitou found itself caught up in the
juggernaut that was the nation-wide council
restructuring initiated by GSUSA in 2006.
That restructuring would have forced Mani-
tou to give up its independent, local identity
and caused it to merge with and be swal-
lowed up by a newly-formed mega-council
encompassing all of northern Wisconsin and
the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. That
massive council might have made sense to
some executive looking at a map in
GSUSAs New York office suite, says Rice,
but we knew from our extensive research
that it would result in a bad outcome for our
local members, volunteers and valued
donors.
After more than two years of trying to
come to agreement with GSUSA, Girl
Scouts of Manitou in January of this year in-
formed GSUSA it would not proceed with
the merger because, in Manitous opinion, it
would not have been in the best interest of
the council and its Girl Scout members.
Faced with Manitous resistance to the re-
alignment merger, the court states in its re-
cent opinion, GSUSA initiated proceedings
later that month to unilaterally remove more
than half of Manitous jurisdiction. And, as

the court further recognized, this appear[ed]
to be only the first step in a multi-step
process to remove all of Manitous territory.
Faced with this threat, Manitou filed a law-
suit, in February, in the federal courts and
sought the protection of an injunction to pre-
vent GSUSAs threatened action. In Septem-
ber, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals,
sitting in Chicago, awarded Manitou the pre-
cise relief it had requested and enjoined
GSUSA from making any changes to, or in-
terfering with, the current council jurisdic-
tion of Manitou until the end of the case and
until final relief is fashioned by the court.
In its written opinion, handed down on
Monday of this week, the Seventh Circuit
explains the reasons for its injunction order
against GSUSA. GSUSAs arguments in
support of its conduct, the court said, re-
main murky. According to the court,
GSUSA continues to speak out of both
sides of its mouth regarding the Wisconsin
law applicable to it. Manitous attorney, Gary
Leydig of the Chicago law firm Riordan,
Fulkerson, Hupert & Coleman, calls the
courts opinion remarkable. Not only did
the court of appeals squarely decide in Man-
itous favor, but Leydig says in the entire
45-page opinion there is not a single argu-
ment put forward by GSUSA that the court
finds any merit to whatsoever. Im hard
pressed to remember a decision where one
side has been found to be so completely
wrong.
The courts December 15 opinion con-
firms the applicability of the Wisconsin Fair
Dealership Law (WFDL) to nonprofit busi-
nesses like Manitou Council and nonprofit
business relationships like that between
Manitou and Girl Scouts of the USA. A
dealer and a dealership under this law,
says Leydig are simply the Wisconsin
statutes terms for what other states laws
would typically call franchisees and fran-
chises. Manitou is a dealer and therefore
falls within the purview of the WFDL, the
court ruled. The WFDL was enacted, the
court observed, to promote fair business
relations between dealers and grantors,
the continuation of dealerships on a fair
basis and to protect dealers against unfair
treatment by grantors . The WFDL
achieves these protections, the court ruled,
by making it illegal for any grantor to ter-
minate, cancel [or] fail to renew a dealership
agreement without good cause. And, as the
court ruled, GSUSA had not established any
good cause for its actions.
This lawsuit was not an action Manitou
entered into lightly, says Rice. GSUSA
just kept pushing. When GSUSA finally took
the unheard of step of threatening our very
existence and our ability to serve our local
Girl Scouts, we really had no other choice.
It is great to be vindicated by the court. Rice
credits the dedication and courageous action
of Manitous all voluntary board of directors
with standing firm against the threat they
faced. Like the Girl Scout Mission says,
Rice says with a confident smile, Girl
Scouting builds girls (and volunteers) of
courage, confidence, and character who
make the world a better place.

Atty. Bohrofen combines
with Rice & Gotzmer to
form new law firm
SHEBOYGAN, WIS. (December 16, 2008)
Rice & Gotzmer, one of Sheboygans pre-
mier business and corporate law firms has
joined forces with renowned Sheboygan es-
tate planning and probate attorney Eldon L.
Bohrofen to form a new law firm and offer
new opportunities for service to their greater
Sheboygan area client base. The new firm
combines the quality of legal advice and
services of a large, national firm with the re-
sponsiveness, personal attention, and cost-
effectiveness of a smaller boutique firm.
"Over the years Eldon has looked at sev-
eral opportunities to best grow and better
serve his clients," said Atty. Shawn Rice.
"We jointly decided his clients would benefit
by aligning with a corporate and estate plan-
ning firm with proven talents and expertise.
We are delighted to announce that Eldon
will lend his extensive experience and well-
known talents to the expansion of our estate
planning practice team and the new firms
business succession, probate, and estate
planning practice areas in this region.
The firm announced today that Atty.
Bohrofen will chair the new firms Estate
Planning and Probate Practice Team. Atty.
Bohrofen earned his reputation as a skilled
lawyer in all of the estate planning disci-
plines, including the drafting of wills and
trusts; the preparation of federal transfer tax
returns (including the estate, gift and gener-
ation-skipping transfer taxes), charitable
planning, and the administration of probate
estates and trusts. As a result, Eldon and the
other members of the Rice, Gotzmer &
Bohrofen team will provide clients with a
full range of planning services. Such serv-
ices often extend beyond economic and tax
considerations, and address the personal
concerns and issues important to the clients
and families expect sound advice based on
relationships built on mutual trust and con-
fidence.
The strength and depth of the combined
resources of Rice & Gotzmer is a perfect fit
to fully serve the many business owners and
other Wisconsin clients who I have repre-
sented for numerous years now, said
Bohrofen.
Rice & Gotzmer, s.c., jointly founded in
2007 by former Godfrey & Kahn and Davis
& Kuelthau attorney Shawn G. Rice, 40, and
former Quarles & Brady attorney Kristopher
L. Gotzmer, 38, will hereafter be known as

pand its offices at 605 North Eighth Street,

(KPAL) will be holding its brat fry on Sun-
day, February 15 from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
at the Kohler firehouse on Highland Drive.
The KPALmission is to sponsor local
programs that involve Kohler youth in sports
and good citizenship. This past year the
KPAL has made donations to the Kohler
Scouting program and High School scholar-
ships to encourage our kids to grow to reach
their potential. We've also sponsored the
Bike Safety Rodeo, Summer Swim Meet at
the Kohler pool, Kohler Soccer Club, Kohler
youth baseball, flag football, and summer
soccer programs. In 2008, the KPAL do-
nated in excess of $12,000 to the youth of
the Village!
Kohler Police and Athletic League mem-
bers will be going door to door in the Vil-
lage, selling brat fry raffle tickets. Please
contact your favorite KPAL member if we
haven't caught you at home. Better yet, join
the KPAL and become involved with our
projects to improve opportunities for Kohler
youth.
The KPAL is sometimes confused with
the Kohler Fire Department, probably be-
cause many of our functions are held at the
Kohler Firehouse. We are separate from the
Fire Department, but our two organizations
cooperate in many ways. The KPAL uses the
Firehouse for our meetings, Brat Fry and
bingo. Our bingo nights are held on the
fourth Sunday of the month, March through
November.
See a KPAL member for advance tickets
at one dollar each. These tickets make you
eligible for our door prize drawings, which
include gift certificates as well as many
other prizes. Our grand prize this year is a
$250 Kohler Hospitality certificate. The
tickets are also good for one dollar in trade
the day of the brat fry and can be used to
purchase food and drink. They include dis-
count coupons good at Quiznos Subs, Bread
& Bean Eatery, Falls Firehouse Pizza and
Cousins Subs.
We are proud of what we do for the youth
in the Village. We appreciate the support of
everyone mentioned above, and we hope
that you can help support our programs this
year by coming to the brat fry. If you would
like to join the KPAL, need tickets to the brat
fry call Jim Tesmer at 457-4722, or just need
more information, please call Rob Vander
Schaaf at (920) 467-4657.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Sheboygan
County announces that Jeff Mehn has re-
signed from his position as Executive Direc-
tor of the organization effective December
5, 2008 in order to pursue other professional
opportunities.
Jeff Mehn began his service to the youth
of Sheboygan County nineteen years ago as
the Director of the Youth Service Bureau of
Sheboygan County, a small organization
with an annual budget of just $66,000.
Under Mehns leadership, Youth Service Bu-
reau chartered Sheboygan Countys first
Boys & Girls Club location in 1994 when it
began operating under the nationally recog-
nized name. The Boys and Girls Clubs of
Sheboygan County now operates five club
locations in Howards Grove, Sheboygan,
and Sheboygan Falls, serving thousands of
youth between the ages of 8 and 18 each
year with an annual budget nearing one-mil-
lion dollars.
I am proud of what the organization has
accomplished and its stature today, said
Mehn. "I wish to thank the hundreds of vol-
unteers and thousands of donors throughout
the years who have helped make Boys &
Girls Clubs successful in our community. It
has been an honor to serve as the leader of
this great organization and I look forward to
tracking its progress in the years to come.
Marc Mikkelson, President of the Board
of Directors, states, On behalf of the Board,
I want to thank Jeff Mehn for his work as
Executive Director. Over the years, Jeff has
always demonstrated a passion for the Boys
and Girls Club mission, and the impact of
his efforts will be known and felt in our com-
munity for many years to come. I have a
great appreciation for all that he has accom-
plished for this Organization.
Mikkelson also noted, We have begun
the process of recruiting Jeffs successor and
are well situated to maintain Club operations
in the meantime. We look forward to con-
tinuing the organizations many successes
and building upon the foundation laid by Jeff
Mehn.
The Boys and Girls Clubs mission is to
inspire and enable all young people, espe-
cially those who need us most, to reach their
full potential as productive, caring, respon-
sible citizens. The Clubs are guidance-ori-
ented and offer diversified program activities
in five core areas of development char-
acter & leadership development, health &
life skills, education & career development,
the arts, and sports, fitness and recreation. A
main premise of the organization is to make
membership affordable to all with an annual
fee of five dollars.

Sheboygan, WI December 10, 2008 The
Teen Safe Driver ProgramSM, which helps
young drivers overcome the challenges of
learning how to drive, has received A.M.
Bests E-Fusion award. The award is consid-
ered one of the leading technology honors in
the insurance industry.
Teen Safe Driver was developed in asso-
ciation with DriveCam, a company that spe-
cializes in reducing risky driving behavior
and saving lives. The program is offered at
no cost for a period of up to one year to
American Family customers who have a
teen driver.
More information on Teen Safe Driver is
available from American Family insurance
agent Sue Breitbach Fenn, 3626 Erie Ave,
Sheboygan, 457-1950.
My customers who have participated in
the program tell me its a tremendous oppor-
tunity to help build good driving habits in
their young drivers, said Breitbach Fenn,
whose office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30
p.m., Monday through Friday and 9 12 on
Saturday. The judges in this national com-
petition agreed, and I would urge anyone
with new drivers to check out the program
and consider enrolling.
American Family and DriveCam intro-
duced Teen Safe Driver to all of the com-
panys 18 operating states throughout 2007.
More than 5,000 families have already par-
ticipated in the program. DriveCam has
noted a decrease of 76 percent in risky driv-
ing behavior after teen drivers have spent
just 10 weeks in the program. That figure
rises to 86 percent after six months.
The E-Fusion Award judging panel
praised Teen Safe Driver for its technologi-
cal innovation and social responsibility. The
panel said the program spoke to American
Familys commitment to building strong
customer relationships.

HUNGRY?
During the next few winter months, please use extreme caution while
driving on School Street. It is difficult to see children and approaching
vehicles with the piles of snow all around you. Instead of pulling in
peoples driveways to turn around, you should drive around the block;
its safer and legal.
Please use extra
caution while driving

Saturday, January 31, 2009
1:00 p.m. 3:30 p.m.
On behalf of the faculty, staff and ad-
ministration of the Kohler Public Schools,
we welcome your children back from win-
ter break and we hope that your family had
a restful and joyous holiday season.
December was a very special month in
our school district. It was a month filled
with tradition as well as new beginnings.
While we were entertained with melodious
holiday performances of our band and
choral students, our students also con-
tributed greatly to the spirit of giving this
holiday season.
Elementary School students held a
Hats on Day with the aim of raising
money for children with cancer. Students
were allowed to wear a hat during the
school day for a small donation. For this
activity, Kohler Elementary School stu-
dents raised over $400.00.
Kohler Middle School students, under
the guidance of Ms. Labudde, Mr. Roeder,
Ms. Walhender and Mr. Schadd, partici-
pated in a holiday community service proj-
ect by visiting two area nursing homes;
Meadow View Nursing Home in Sheboy-
gan and Prairie Crossing Nursing Home in
Sheboygan Falls on Tuesday, December
23, 2008. These students sang Christmas
carols and distributed gifts to the residents.
Also on this day, the Middle School stu-
dents, and parent volunteers, rang bells for
the Salvation Army kettles at various loca-
tions around Kohler and Sheboygan. Many
holiday hearts were touched by the sincer-
ity and the festive exuberance of our stu-
dents.
Building upon the success of our first
few months, we are eager to return to
school and continue in our mission to pro-
vide the very best for each one of our stu-
dents this second half of our school year.
Know that we are all grateful to work in a
community that values educational excel-
lence. We do wish each of you and your
family the very best health, happiness and
education in the new year!
Happy New Year!
Dr. Robert Kobylski

EMERGENCY OR INCLEMENT WEATHER
CLOSING PROCEDURES
As we begin another year, it is once again time to review the procedures for school closings due to inclement weather.
As in the past, we ask parents to discuss this issue with their children NOW - before the actual emergency occurs. If you
are generally not home during the day, be sure your child knows NOW where they are to go if school closed early (Will they
go home with a classmate? Older sibling? A relative? Have you made prior arrangements with this individual to be on stand
by for these occasions?) In emergency closing situations, forty or fifty children wanting to call home/work to find out
where to go, seriously delays the entire closing process. Please make sure your arrangements in advance and be sure your
child is fully aware of what to do.
Any decision to close schools for all or any portion of a school day will be made as early as possible in order to afford
parents the opportunity to make alternate child care transportation plans. All closing announcements or early dismissals will
be made on the following area radio/television stations:
WHBL (1330 AM), WXER (104.5 OR 96.1 FM ), WSTM (91.3 FM) The Breeze, WLKN (98.1)
WTMJ - Channel 4, WFRV - Channel 5, WISN - Channel 12, NBC 26 - Channel 26, WLUK -Channel 11, WITI - Channel 6,
WBAY-TV/DT 2 - Channel 2.
