family! Kohlers beauty, cleanliness, safety, and
its school system are just a few of the amenities.
During the past six years Ihave worked
diligently to upgrade the Village amenities and
keep taxes as low as possible. I am always
looking for input from the residents to help me
make the right choices for the community. The
next few years are going to be difficult given the
current economic climate of the country and the
state. As your Village President, I will work
tirelessly to ensure that the Village receives any
stimulus funds that are available to Kohler. I
will work to strengthen the relationship between
the Village Board and the School Board. I will
keep open lines of communication with the
Kohler Co., and Iwill use all available means to
make the Village Board more responsive to the
community through updated web sites. Bill

Benefit concert rocks the
house for a good cause
Kohler High School senior Charlie
Reinertsen embarked on an ambitious
mission to organize a concert to benefit
one of his friends, Parker Wolf, a Kohler
teen who was diagnosed with cancer. His
hard work reaped positive rewards when
two area bands Tough Act to Follow
from Manitowoc and Mark Hubing and
Friends joined Reinertsens Kohler band
The Scallions to dedicate proceeds from
their performances at Kohlers Memorial
Theatre to Parkers treatment costs.
Reinertsen reported that the concert
was a complete success with more than
600 people attending and donations ex-
ceeding $6,000 at the time of this writing,
and checks still coming in the mail. He
said Thrivent Financial for Lutherans
company matched half of the total pro-
ceeds made at the concert, and The Ply-
mouth Youth Center, LEVEL, donated
half of the proceeds from a dance.
Reinertsen said that leading up to the
concert, the musicians didnt know what
to expect. They felt that raising $4,000
dollars would be an incredible bench-
mark, and they had no idea that it would
reach the success that it reached. We owe
all of the success to the support of the
community, said Reinertsen. As the day
of the concert approached, I became in-
undated with people asking to help.
Reinertsen said many offered their
time, concession items and raffle items to
help the cause. It was an experience that
will live on in the memories of all of the
members of the community who partici-
pated for years to come. The Parker Wolf
Benefit Concert was a night to remember.
The Wolf family was humbled and awed
to see the support of the community. In
talking with each of the family members,
each person realized how incredible it
was for the entire community to come to-
gether for the event, said Reinertsen.
Parker has undergone cancer treat-
ments over the past few months and ac-
cording to the most recent progress
reports, the treatments have been success-
ful and she has been declared free of can-
cer.

can you be when you are
homeless? I was bought for

busy for me so I ended up at
the shelter. I am only six

The Kohler Youth Football Program has
been rejuvenated. The program, which
started in development last year, has been
created for all students in grades 5-8 who are
interested in tackle football beginning in the
fall of 2009. This program will be part of the
Sheboygan Youth Football League, which
consists of teams throughout Sheboygan
County.
There will be two teams in the Kohler
Youth Football program. The combined 5th
and 6th grade team will be known as the
Junior Bombers, while the combined 7th and
8th grade team will be known as the Junior
Crusaders. Within each game played there
will be designated quarters for and A and
a B squad, so that kids are playing against
competition of like ability. Kids from the
Lutheran and Christian schools of Sheboy-
gan County will also be invited to participate
on the Kohler teams.
The program is designed to be a feeder
program for the High School Football Team.
All teaching drills, plays and basic rules will
be supervised by the Kohler/Sheboygan
Lutheran football coaching staff. This will
provide the kids an opportunity to learn the
game before they get to the high school
level. High School coach Matt Zavada will
supervise the coaching staff of both teams.
The Junior Bombers will be coached by
John Elmendorf and Scott Silvestri, with a
host of other assistants. The Junior Cru-
saders coaches will be Doug Bocchini, with
a host of other assistants.
All equipment will be purchased new this
spring for the upcoming fall season.
Fundraising efforts will be underway shortly
to assist with financing the youth football
program.
There is an informational meeting and
sign-up at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 16 in
the cafeteria of the Kohler School. Coaches
will be there to present more details and an-
swer questions parents might have. Parents
and kids are encouraged to attend as there
will be on site registration. No payment is
due at sign-up as this is strictly to estimate
numbers for planning and fundraising pur-
poses. Those who cant make it on that date,
but would like to sign up in advance, or have
questions in the meantime, may contact
Scott Silvestri (amysilvestri@charter.net) or
457-6363 or John Elmendorf (johnot@pro-
gressivebeginnings.net) or 451-9171
The coaches look forward to seeing inter-
ested participants on Monday, March 16.
