School
district to
study Village
open access
to facilities
Kohler Schools Superintendent Dr.
Robert Kobylski, has delegated Athletic Di-
rector, Lee Benish to conduct a focus group
to come up with ideas to address ways in
which Village residents can have continued
open access to the Kohler Schools gymna-
sium and weight room. Areas the focus
group will address are:
1. Building security
2. Safety of participants
3. The districts liability for unsuper-
vised use of the school facilities.
Currently, Village residents can gain ac-
cess to the school gymnasium and weight
room by requesting an access card. This
card opens the gym lobby door, gym door
and weight room door. Residents use the fa-
cility on an honor system without school
district supervisors on duty. There have been
ongoing concerns about this practice and its
implication to building security, participant
safety, and district liability.
Mr. Benish will conduct an evening
focus group meeting on Monday, February
15, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. in the Kohler high
school choir room. The purpose of the meet-
ing will be to discuss the history of Village
open use of the school gymnasium and
weight room, and come up with preliminary
ideas on ways to address the districts con-
cerns of security, safety, and liability while
still providing access for Village residents.
A task group will be assigned to develop
procedures and recommendations to present
to the School Board at its May meeting for
discussion and potential approval. Upon
School Board approval the new Village
Use of Facilities procedures and policies
would go into effect tentatively at the start
of the 2010-2011 school year.
Village residents are encouraged to at-
tend the opening session so all ideas, con-
cerns, and issues can be heard. Please feel
free to contact Lee Benish, Athletic Direc-
tor, via e-mail (benishl@kohler.k12.wi.us),
or by phone at 459-2920 ext.1002 if you
have any questions.

Online journal helps Kohler teacher
keep family and friends informed of
injured husbands daily progress
By Mary Struck, Publisher/Editor
Nathan Leudtke, husband of Becky
Luedtke, a physical education instructor at
Kohler Schools, was running wire in a
garage attic at the Greenbush Snowmobile
Club on January 13 when he fell, landing
about ten feet below. Nate suffered severe
head trauma as a result of the fall and was
immediately airlifted to Theda Clark Med-
ical Center in Neenah, where he underwent
three hours of brain surgery. He was then put
into a medically induced coma, which helps
protect the brain by giving it a rest, in the
hope that it will heal itself.
Nates family was initially told his med-
ical condition was extremely critical. The
neurosurgeon who operated on him told the
family that on a scale of one to ten with
ten being the most critical condition possi-
ble he placed Nate at a nine. The lobes of
his brain that suffered the damage were left
frontal, right frontal, left occipital and left
temporal. Six physicians were assigned ro-
tating schedules to tend to different areas of
need, along with a nutritionist to start feed-
ing, and a pulmonologist to try to prevent
pneumonia. Nate was scheduled to receive
a CAT scan every morning to monitor
swelling and edema on his brain, which was
badly bruised.
The hospital provided a critical care
lounge for the family that has been dubbed
Camp Luedtke, but Becky was told there
would be a long recovery ahead. The wait-
ing and the unknown is the most difficult
task to endure for families of traumatic brain
injury victims. The pace and extent of recov-
ery can vary considerably, even between pa-
tients with similar injuries. Gains in
recovery followed by setbacks and plat-
ueaus are not uncommon. Many complica-
tions and disabilities can follow such an
injury, and survivors often face a long road
of rehabilitation. A fund has been set up in
Nathan Luedtkes name at Oostburg State
Bank, Oostburg, WI, to assist him and his
family during the coming months.
To keep everyone updated on Nates
progress, a page for him was set up at
www.caringbridge.org/visit/nathanluedtke.
Along with a journal where Becky and other
family members post regular updates, the
free, nonprofit website also has photos, a
guestbook, and other information. The Car-
ingBridge website states that its purpose is
to provide free websites that connect fam-
ily and friends during a serious health event,
care and recovery and helps ease the bur-
Nathan and Becky Luedtke during a camping vacation.
den of keeping family and friends in-
formed.
If its possible for collective positive
thoughts, prayers, and words of support to
have an impact on recovery, Nathan isnt
lacking in that regard. As of this writing, his
CaringBridge page has received more than
20,500 visits and is approaching 1,000
guestbook entries by well-wishers from
Kohler, Sheboygan County, and around the
country. Beckys January 25 journal entry
expressed some sadness and confusion that
Nathans progress had slowed, but I checked
her journal one last time on January 27 be-
fore sending my files off to print, and Becky
reported the following:We just got back
from a visit from Dr. Green. We got good
news! Nathan is now a 7 on his scale from
1-10. When I asked him his definition of a
7, he stated, we are no longer fighting for
his life. That has been the news I have been
waiting for for two weeks!!!!!!!
I think I can speak for everyone whos
following Beckys journal in saying that
weve ALLbeen waiting to hear that kind of
news! Best of luck to Nathan in the coming
weeks as he fights to recover from his injury.

The recent announcement that the rail-
road from Plymouth to Sheboygan, which
passes through Kohler, will be reactivated
has generated much media attention and in-
terest from Village residents. The rail, al-
though inactive for many years, has never
been abandoned. Its reactivation, the control
of crossings, noise and train speed are all
federally regulated. Should the federal
guidelines not be met, you can be assured
your Village Board will take action to insure
its safe operation along with the safety of
those in proximity to its operation. Antici-
pation of the economic benefits the railroad
will provide to local businesses is high.
Also, there is great potential for attracting
new businesses. Both of these outcomes are
positive for the economy in our county,
which has been hit hard by the recession.
You need to look no further than the current
unemployment statistics to understand the
impact of the recession locally.
A seasonal recreation opportunity, the
skating rink at Woodlake, is now open for
your enjoyment. The present weather con-
ditions have been ideal for the formation of
ice and the creation of a safe skating rink.
The rink is monitored daily for safe skating
conditions. Closure of the rink would take
place immediately if the condition of the ice
deteriorates and is considered unsafe.
In addition to the well-groomed skating
rink, Destination Kohler is hosting a Taste
of the Alps from January 29 31. Also
available during this time for your enjoy-
ment will be ice sculptures, ice carving, dog
sledding, curling, and even a plunge by the
Polar Bears. There will be something for
everyone that will be sure to create memo-
ries that will last a lifetime. Dont forget to
invite your friends.
Having just rung in 2010, Im sure that
not many have given much thought to 2012.
This will be a significant year since it is the
centennial of the incorporation for the Vil-
lage of Kohler. Prior to its incorporation the
area was known as Riverside. In the 100
years since incorporation, the Village of
Kohler has proudly developed a rich history.
The Village of Kohler, Kohler Co., and
Kohler School District are the foundation on
which this history has been built. Many of
the traditions started long ago continue to
live on today. To commemorate this an-
niversary, a committee has been formed to
develop plans for its 100-year centennial.
What an opportunity to reflect on the past,
to celebrate our 100-year milestone, and to
showcase all the Village of Kohler has to
offer. Please consider this an open invitation
From the Village Board President . . .
to provide your suggestions for celebrating
the Village of Kohler Centennial in 2012.
You are invited to share your thoughts with
me, other Village Board members, Village
Hall employees Laurie Lindow, Cindi Gamb,
or Noel Machata.
Until next time

The Kohler Police Athletic League
(KPAL) will be holding its brat fry on Sun-
day, February 21 from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
at the Kohler firehouse on Highland Drive.
The mission of KPAL is to sponsor and
support local programs involving Kohler
youth in sports and programs promoting
good citizenship. This past year KPAL do-
nations included the Kohler scouting pro-
gram and awards of two high school
scholarships to encourage our kids to grow
to reach their potential. KPAL also sponsors
the Kohler Pool Summer Swim Meet,
Kohler Soccer Club, youth baseball and flag
football leagues, summer soccer and basket-
ball programs. This year they were a major
contributor toward startup costs and ongoing
expenses for the newly formed 6th, 7th and
8th grade football league. For the year 2009,
the KPAL donated in excess of $12,000 to
the youth of the Village.
KPAL members will be going door-to-
door in the Village selling tickets for this im-
portant event, or contact your favorite KPAL
member if you were missed. Better yet, join
the KPAL and become involved with their
projects to improve opportunities for Kohler
youth.
Though many KPAL functions are held
at the firehouse, theyre not to be confused
with the Kohler Fire Department. KPAL is
separate from the Fire Department, but the
two organizations cooperate in many ways.
The KPAL uses the firehouse for meetings,
the brat fry, and Bingo night, which is held
in the evening on the fourth Sunday of the
month, March through November.
See a KPAL member for advance tickets
for the brat fry at one dollar each, and be-
come eligible for door prize drawings,
which include gift certificates as well as
many other prizes. The grand prize this year
is a $250 Kohler Hospitality certificate. The
tickets are also good for one dollar in trade
on the purchase of food and drink the day of
the brat fry. They include discount coupons
redeemable at Quiznos Subs, Bread & Bean
Eatery, Falls Firehouse Pizza and Cousins
Subs.
KPAL is proud of what they do for the
youth in the Village and appreciate all sup-
porters previously mentioned, and hope res-
idents will help support their programs this
year by attending the brat fry. Anyone who
would like to join KPAL or needs tickets to
the brat fry may call Jim Tesmer at 457-
4722. For more information about this
event, please call Rob Vander Schaaf at
(920) 467-4657.

Salvation Army
Submitted by the Kohler Middle School
Student Council
Before the holidays we went out and rang
bells for the Salvation Army. The Salvation
Army is a fundraising group that helps peo-
ple in need. This group takes donations and
you can also volunteer your time. Just one
example is bell-ringing, there are also many
other things you can do to help.
While we were out bell-ringing, and
freezing our toes off, lots of groups ended
up singing carols. Just a few examples are
Jingle Bell Rock, Rudolph the Red Nosed
Reindeer, and Jingle Bells. This seemed to
attract many peoples attention, and we saw
a large rise in donations after that. When we
finally came back to school we felt happy,
and cold, but we still had a great time and
helped others. Thanks for all the donations.

The Kohler Madrigal Singers finished
their holiday performances late December.
The singers performed for holiday parties,
various clubs and companies, the Kohler
Craft Fair, Festival of Trees, the Quarter
Century Club, Green Lawn Memorial serv-
ice, nursing homes, and schools. The Madri-
gals brought much joy and inspiration to
many people. These students are an exem-
plary group of students that are positive am-
bassadors for the Kohler School District.
Much credit goes to the seniors who were
great singers, positive role models, and lots
of fun. These talented seniors are: Danielle
Dyksterhouse, Olivia McDonald, Kelsey
Stefanczyk, Holly Zehfus, Markus Ander-
son, Carlo Gischia, Dominic Gischia, Jordan
Kusel, Patrick Stillwell, and Douwe Vander-
schaaf. The madrigals will sing at the Dis-
trict Solo & Ensemble on February 27 at
Kohler.
Madrigals pictured left to right: Anna
Mani, Ryan Tengowski, Kira Gutschow,
Charles Olmsted, Olivia McDonald, and
Kelsey Stefanczyk.
In lieu of a student Christmas gift ex-
change, the three first-grade classes
decided to donate money to the Salva-
tion Army so that they could help oth-
ers in need during the holiday season.
The three classes collected $140 for
the Red Kettle Drive. They were very
proud! (Mrs. Farwig's first-grade class

Pasta bar dinner to be part of
Rotary Survey Says... event
Sheboygan, WI -- Adding to the excitement
of the Rotary Survey Says... event coming
up on Saturday, February 6 is a pasta bar for
dinner. The event, being organized by the
Sheboygan Rotary Club, will take place at
Kohler Public School (333 Upper Road in
Kohler) in a number of areas in the build-
ing.
A dinner ticket can be purchased at the
event for $6; children four and younger can
dine for free. The pricing is representative
of the family-friendly event and the meal-
time costs of bygone days when the popular
television show Family Feud, which this
event is patterned after, debuted. A dinner
ticket includes one trip through the pasta bar
(including Cavatappi corkscrew pasta,
Marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, grilled
chicken and sausage), garlic bread, Caesar
salad and a choice of beverage. The dinner
will be prepared by Kohler schools own
Chef Ted Weidman. Also available ala carte
throughout the evening will be desserts
courtesy of Amys Cakes, snack type items,
and beverages.
Event tickets are available for $5 each by
calling 208-1343 or at the door the day of
the event and include entrance into all six
rounds of competition.
In the Rotary Survey Says... game show
event, contestants will identify the most
popular responses to survey questions posed
to 100 county residents. Questions will be
general interest as in the original show and
Sheboygan area specific. Each round will
feature two teams of five players made up
of local companies (Bemis Manufacturing,
Maritime Insurance, Mayline, and Rock-
line), non-profit organizations (Sheboygan
County Interfaith Organization with local
churches, Great Marriages for Sheboygan
County, Sheboygan County Chamber of
Commerce, and United Way), schools
(Lakeland College, Lakeshore Technical
College, North High, Pigeon River 5th
graders, South High), and professionals (at-
torneys, bankers, and dentists). The first
matches of the single elimination play begin
at 4:00 p.m.
Entertainment will be offered in the cafe-
teria area to encourage both players and
Pasta Bar at Rotary Survey Says event at-
tendees to make this a family outing. Bean
bag toss, face painting, balloon creations,
and a coloring contest have already been
confirmed.
Monies raised from the Rotary Survey
Says... event will fund local and global proj-
ects. The club supports local and interna-
tional projects and has contributed in excess
of $600,000 to date. Locally, they have sup-
ported: the new Taylor Drive park renova-
tion, Rotary Riverfront Park, Harbor Center
Marina promenade, student scholarships,
Rebuilding Together, Meals on Wheels; and
internationally; polio eradication, equipment
to provide safe drinking water, and Shelter
Boxes in response to natural disasters. The
Sheboygan Rotary Club is Sheboygan areas
largest Rotary club with approximately 140
members.
The club meets at the Elks Club in She-
boygan every Monday at noon for a buffet
luncheon that also includes a business meet-
ing and speaker. For more information about
the club and the upcoming event visit

faintly heard her detector being activated. She
was succumbing to the deadly fumes of the

residence and had the problem fixed. Without
the detector, we may not have had our conver-
sation. If you dont have a detector, they arent
expensive and can save your life. Im glad we
had our conversation for several reasons, seeing
that you are okay and also for the topic to write
on in this column. I have put a link to symp-
toms of carbon monoxide poisoning on our
website. Also, if anyone has a suggestion,
please dont hesitate to send a topic my way.
Vacation Checks
Dont forget that if you are planning to go away
on spring break or at any time during the year,
that you may have the Kohler Police Depart-
ment check your house while you are gone.
Residents can now request a vacation check on-
line through the Kohler Police Departments

calling. If you call outside of regular business
hours you may leave a message too. In your
message just include your name, address, dura-

pertinent information may include lights that
are on timers, alarms, and names of persons that
may stop by or keyholders. Any other questions

ment.
From Public Works
Superintendent:
Bruce eerhof:
Snow Emergency
To find out if a snow emergency is in effect for
the Village, call 459-3881. There is no parking
on Village streets during a snow emergency. A
snow emergency is called when accumulation is
expected to exceed six inches. Snow emergen-
cies are typically called from 8:00 a.m. until
12:00 p.m. to give the snowplows an opportu-
nity to clear the streets with no cars in the way.
Salt
Village residents are welcome to obtain salt
from the boxes located throughout the Village.
Snow Removal
Here are some reminders on Village snow re-
moval ordinances and policies:
1. Please remember to shovel your sidewalks
within 24 hours after a snowfall event.
2. Do not blow or shovel snow back into the
street.
3. Please remove vehicles from the street when
the plows are in operation.
Snow Removal Around Kiosks
It is the residents responsibility to have the
snow removed around the kiosks/NDCBU
(neighborhood delivery and collection box
unit)/cluster boxes. The Postal Service will not
deliver mail if the carrier is not able to reach the
unit the front as well as the backside. Some-
one in the unit/neighborhood needs to take the
initiative to remove the snow; or maybe the re-
sponsibility can be shared within the unit. The
Village is not responsible to keep these areas
clear of snow.
Recycling
As a reminder, all plastics, glass, aluminum and
tin cans may be mixed together and placed in
your blue recycling bin. Newspapers and mag-
azines should be placed in a brown paper bag or
bundled and tied together. Cardboard should be
flattened and cut into 3 x 3 pieces. If you have
any questions regarding recycling please con-
tact the Department of Public Works at 459-
3881.

U.S. Census Information Update
The 2010 census is fast approaching. Census
questionnaires will be mailed or delivered to
every household in the United States in March
2010. The information that you provide for each
question should be accurate for your household
as of April 1, 2010. Making sure everyone in
Wisconsin is counted is important because cen-
sus data is used to determine the allocation of
millions of dollars in federal, state and local
funding. Census data guides local decision mak-
ers in planning where to build new hospitals,
roads, schools and other community facilities.
An accurate census affects your voice in our
representative government by determining the
number of representative and boundaries of
congressional and legislative districts.
From Police Chief
Bill Rutten:
Texting and Driving
Are you or someone you know getting con-
sumed by texting? Are you or someone you
know texting while driving? Many of us think
of ourselves as good drivers, but those of you
who text and drive are 23 times more likely to
be involved in a crash than someone that isnt
texting. Sometimes we think that what is going
on in our lives is the most important thing.
Things can go bad real quick when you are dis-
tracted. Adistracted driver is a dangerous driver
on the roadways for everyone. There is enough
to be watchful for when driving, let alone being
distracted by phone calls or texting. To read
more about texting and driving, find the link on
our website at www.kohlerpolice.com.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
I received a pleasant call from a Village resident
recently requesting that I write about carbon
monoxide detectors. She went on to tell me that
a bird had built a nest in her chimney that even-
tually blocked the odorless fumes from escap-
ing. She hadnt felt well, and almost didnt

Sheboygan County Residents
Have you wondered where you might be
able to dispose of household hazardous
waste or agricultural chemicals that are no
longer usable? Hazardous waste, if not dis-
posed of properly, can create a potential
health risk to people and can threaten our
environment, eventually contaminating our
groundwater, rivers, and lakes. Sheboygan
County has established three collection sites
for disposing of hazardous wastes, as iden-
tified below. There is no charge to County
households (except for the recycling of elec-
tronic wastes). The program is funded with
County tax dollars; be prepared to show
proof of residency. When those funds are de-
pleted, the sites will be closed until funds are
again available. For 2010, Sheboygan
County has received state funding for col-
lection and disposal of hazardous wastes re-
ferred to as our Clean Sweep Collection
Event. The grant is only good for the May
14 and May 15 collection dates. If we do not
use this money, we lose it. We encourage cit-
izens to bring their hazardous wastes to
these two collection events as much as pos-
sible. The Clean Sweep Grant from the state
will pay for these events and Sheboygan
County pays for the other events. There is
no charge to households of Sheboygan
County who bring household hazardous
waste to any collection event.
What kind of materials will be accepted
at the facilities?
* Flammable liquids
* Fluorescent bulbs
* Cleaners
* Oilbased paints
* Household batteries
* Aerosols
* Solvents
* Acids and bases
* Poisons
* Varnishes
* Old gasoline
* Antifreeze
* Thinners
* Pesticides and herbicides
* Reactives (typically pool chemicals)
* Computers will be recycled at a cost of
$15.00 per unit. (A CPU, monitor, and
printer set would be $45.00.) Other waste
electronics will also be accepted for a fee,
such as TVs ($15-$25) and dehumidifiers
($45). There will be a fee for more than
household quantities of fluorescent lights.
Call ahead for other waste electronic re-
cycling costs.
Are there materials that will not be ac-
cepted? YES LATEX PAINT, radioactive
materials, explosives, asbestos, waste oil,
medical wastes, waste medications, and tires
will not be accepted.
What can I do with the unacceptable ma-
terials?
Waste Oil is recycled at many sites in con-
junction with community recycling pro-
grams. In addition, Steves Amoco at 1030
S 14th St. (the corner of S 14th St. and Indi-
ana Ave.), 920-452-2041, accepts waste oil.
Latex Paint is not hazardous. It can be
disposed of with regular garbage once dried.
Simply remove the cover to let it dry up, or
pour it out in a container and add kitty litter
to help it dry up. Tires should be recycled
at the time of new tire purchase.
If you have other materials not accepted
at the Sheboygan County sites, call Veolia
Environmental Services (800-255-5092) to
see if they will accept the waste. You will
need to work out the details with them and
will be charged for disposal. ALSO, during
the May Clean Sweep Collection Event,
other accepted wastes that will be collected
are:
Agricultural Hazardous Waste such as
pesticides, other chemicals, and pesticide
containers. To dispose of these items, you
must call Mike Ballweg, UW-Extension, at
920-459-5904 in advance. There may be a
cost for Agricultural business wastes.
Very Small Quantity Generator
Business Hazardous Wastes from small
businesses must call Jim Hulbert, Planning
& Resources Dept, at 920-459-3060 in ad-
vance. There will be a cost for disposing of
these items.
What can I do if I missed the collection
event and cannot wait until the next
scheduled collection event? You may call
the Veolia Environmental Services at 800-
255-5092 to see if they will accept your
waste. You may have to show proof of resi-
dency and there will be a charge for dis-
posal.
Funded through Sheboygan County Plan-
ning & Resources Dept, 508 New York Ave,
Sheboygan, WI, 53081, phone 920-459-
3060. For more information on acceptable
materials, call Veolia Environmental Serv-
ices at 800-255-5092.

Kohler Kare field trip held on Janu-

ters day filled with sleigh rides, feeding

fun also included refreshments and time
spent in the bounce house. A great time
was had by all. We will be starting sign-

Kohler Kare
takes winter field
trip to farm
Since 1999, when Hurricane Mitch rav-
aged a small village in Honduras, Mary Jo
Braatz has helped Larry Hildebrand (a good
friend of hers) bring much needed supplies to
those families and children. For the past four
years Mary Jo has been fortunate enough to
join Larry on these trips to Honduras. Each
year the Senior Kindergarten and Junior
Kindergarten families at Kohler Public
Schools have helped by supplying a gallon
sized Ziploc bag with either a light weight
outfit, or in the past few years we have asked
for games and art supplies (things for the chil-
dren to do).
This past November we were able to sur-
prise Mary Jo Braatz with a very generous gift
from Scholastic Book Clubs. Mary Jo was
able to bring more than $800 worth of donated
books written in Spanish for the children! We
want to take this as an opportunity to say
thank you to Scholastic Book Clubs for all
you have done and also to those families who
have helped throughout the past 10 years!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Mrs. Bittner, Mrs. Magle, Mrs. Solberg,
Mrs. Bley, Mrs. Abel, and Mrs. Andrews.

Joint Statement
January 21, 2010
The Kohler School District and Kohler Education
Association have met several times over the past
few months in an effort to reach agreement regard-
ing the settlement of the teachers 2009-11 contract.
As a next step in the negotiations process, we have
decided to file for interest arbitration, which will
involve mediation. The parties look forward to
finding common ground and reaching a voluntary
settlement through this process.
Board of Education, Kohler School District
Kohler Education Association
Superintendents otes:
I know it is hard to believe, but we are
already at the midway point of our school
year! I am pleased to report that we had a
rewarding and productive first 90 days,
yet we have much to look forward to as,
together, we continue on with our educa-
tional odyssey.
For example, we are about to flip on
the proverbial switch to our new district
website. The new district web address
will be www.kohlerpublicschools.org.
Know that for the remainder of the school
year, individuals who type in the old ad-
dress will be automatically redirected to
the new site. We hope that you will not
only agree that the new web design is
more appealing to the eye, but that it is
also user friendly and easier to navigate
to the information you require.
As the year progresses, we will con-
tinue to add enhancements to the site. As
our site is a work in progress, please do
not hesitate to offer suggestions for on-
going website improvements to our tech-
nology coordinator, Ms. Wendy
Nasgovitz. She can be reached directly at
920-459-2920 x1304.
At the Middle School, we are about to
embark upon a new Reading and Writing
Initiative that is designed to further de-
velop the literacy skill sets of our middle
school students. Our new program will
emphasize a balanced literacy approach
that contains dedicated classroom reading
instruction time, as well as content area
reading and writing competency building.
The goal is to better prepare our students
for the literacy related rigor of our high
school program, and the post-secondary
world.
As many of you know, our Kohler
High students are faced with increasing
competition from their peers in the area,
state and nationally for seats in selective
colleges and universities, as well as for
recognition and awards, such as National
Merit Scholarships. National assess-
ments, such as the ACT, SAT and
the PSAT, play a critical role in many
post-secondary selection and admission
processes. In an effort to help our students
maintain their competitive edge, the
School District of Kohler has joined
forces with Cambridge Educational Serv-
ices, a nationally known test-prep
provider recognized for their highly indi-
vidualized approach to test-prep.
Students who choose to participate in
the sixteen hour instructor led program
will have the opportunity to specifically
identify, and then remediate, any knowl-
edge or skill set deficiencies. During the
test--prep sessions, students will also gain
valuable insight into test structures and
corresponding test taking strategies.
While the district will absorb the cost for
the instructors and their training, families
will be asked to pay the textbook, practice
tests and individualized assessment report
fee of $66.95. The first phase of our com-
prehensive test-prep of the program will
focus on the upcoming April 10th admin-
istration of the ACT.
We also intend to offer a late summer
and early fall PSAT test-prep session in
anticipation of the fall PSAT test. If
you are not aware, the PSAT is the pre-
cursor to the SAT, and also serves as the
assessment used in determining National
Merit Scholars. According to our sources
at Cambridge, Kohler High School will
be the only public high school in the state
offering support for the PSAT!
In closing, I look forward to seeing
you personally at the many events and ac-
tivities scheduled during the second half
of the school year. As always, please do
not hesitate to contact me directly if you
have any questions or comments.
Yours in education,
Dr. Robert Kobylski

CLC Honors Band
On Thursday, January 7, 2010, eleven
members of the Kohler Symphony Band re-
hearsed and performed a mini-concert as
members of the Central Lakeshore Confer-
ence Honors Band. This years guest con-

Mr. Leckrone is now in his 40th year as di-
rector of the Wisconsin Bands and has over
200 marching band arrangements published
and is a strong advocate for music education
in the schools.
Due to an unexpected snowstorm, the
performance was moved from the evening
to the afternoon and was videotaped for fu-
ture broadcast on WSCS TV8.
Members selected to perform included
Markus Anderson (percussion), Sara Chung
(flute), Christian Ertel (french horn), Hannah
Fenton (french horn), Dominic Gischia (per-
cussion), Lauren Henderson (clarinet),

Kevin Chen wins Kohler Schools
ational Geography Bee
By Duane Du Mez, ational Geography Bee
Coordinator
Kevin Chen competed on Wednesday,
January 13th, in the school level of the Na-
tional Geography Bee. He competed against
9 other contestants - 2 from each grade level
in 4th thru 8th grade. Kevin is a 5th grader
and now moves one step closer to winning
a $25,000 College Scholarship. The school-
level Bee, at which students answered oral
and written questions on geography, was the
first round in the thirteenth annual National
Geography Bee, which is sponsored by Na-
tional Geographic World.
The kick-off for this years Bee was the
week of November 9th, with thousands of
schools around the US, District of Colum-
bia, and five U.S. territories participating.
The school winners, including Kevin, will
now take a written test; up to 100 of the top
scorers in each state and territory will be el-
igible to compete in their state Bee on April
9th.
Alex Trebeck, host of Jeopardy, will
moderate the national finals, which will air
on May 26.
The National Geographic Society devel-
oped the National Geography Bee in re-
sponse to a growing concern about the lack
of geographic knowledge among young peo-
ple in the United States.
Anyone can brush up on geography with
GeoBee Challenge, an online geography
quiz at
www.nationalgeographic.com/geobee,
which poses five new questions a day from
previous National Geographic Bees.
The National Geographic Society is the
worlds largest nonprofit scientific and edu-
cational organization. Founded in 1888, the
Society reflects the world through maga-
zines, books, maps, television and interac-
tive media.
Kevin Chen
Congratulations to Kevin for her fine per-
formance in the school level Bee. Congratu-
lations to the following students for winning

Over learn the information:
When learning new mate-
rial, it is first stored in short-term
and then after repeated exposure
makes its way to long-term mem-
ory. Short-term memory is not ef-
fective in test situations, as it is
limited in capacity and does not re-
spond well to stress. Long-term
memory is much more reliable in
stressful situations and has unlim-
ited capacity to retain information.
Transfer of information from
short to long term memory requires
time, energy, understanding and
multiple repetitions. When studying
information, use multiple methods
such as oral rehearsal, pictures,
flash cards and re-reading/review-
ing key concepts. Also vary the
order in which you study the mate-
rial, as the Latency and Primacy
effects will cause you to remember
materials learned first and last,
causing us to forget material stud-
ied in the middle.
Practice multiple ways of learn-
ing the material:
As mentioned above, try multiple
ways of learning materials. If you
are learning material from a Social
Studies book, use the SQ3R
method (Survey, question, read, re-
cite, and review) to look over mate-
rials, review class notes and study
orally with a friend. If you are trying
to solve math problems, do the
problems, orally recite how you got
from step 1 to step 2 to step 3, and
then check on a calculator. There
are many different techniques and
strategies for different classes. The
same techniques are probably not
going to work for all of your
classes, so you need to decide
which are most effective for each
class dependent on the material to
be learned.
Try to find something interesting
in the material:
If information is boring to use, it
will be harder to learn. If you are
interested in driving you will focus
on learning how, because you are
motivated and want to do well.
Similarly, if you have a positive atti-
tude toward your classroom materi-
als, you will pay better attention
and learn the material easier and
retain it better. If you believe that
something is difficult to learn and
that you can not learn it, by the
power of suggestion it will be true
and you will not learn the material.
Wanting to learn the material and
believing you can will help you to
learn and retain it better.
Find a distraction free environ-
ment:
Find a location without outside
distractions such as T.V., friends,
computer games or other things
you personally find distracting
(such as family members.) Evalu-
ate how much time you are actually
studying during sessions, and how
much time you are off task with
your mind wandering or unfocused
on your materials. If you are able
to focus on work for 15 minutes at a
time, it is more effective to focus on
the materials for a solid 15 minutes,
take a break, and then study later
for 15 minutes undisturbed, than to
cram for 2 hours but have your at-
tention waver the entire time. If you
find that personal issues or anxi-
eties keep you from being able to
focus, you may want to discuss is-
sues with your parents or a Guid-
ance Counselor.
Find a physically comfortable
space in which to study:
Your study chair should be com-
fortable enough for you to sit for up
to 30-40 minutes if you are in
grades 5-12, or 15 to 20 minutes if
you are in grades 2-4. You should
be seated at a desk or table that
provides enough room to spread
out materials and the lighting and
temperature in the room should be
comfortable. It is important that
you have had a healthy snack prior
to studying so you are not hungry
and that you have the correct mate-
rials such as a sharp pencil, paper,
calculator, and any other materials
needed to complete the lesson.
Look for additional supports if
needed:
Kohler Public School District has
provided study skills support during
Early Release Days, and there are
also long term tutors, and study
skills programs such as Sylvan that
teach more advanced study tech-
niques. Make sure that if you need
additional supports you seek them
out. Studying is a skill like playing
basketball and learning to tie a
shoe. The more you practice study-
ing, the easier it will become.

Review of District Finances
Paul Corson reviewed the 2008-2009 District Audit. The
audit can be divided into 4 major parts: management, fi-
nancial, supplemental, state and federal awards. The
basic financial statements are entity wide and the general
fund. Fund statements are converted into entity wide
statements in order to be more similar to private busi-
nesses. Last year, the district had a balanced budget.
The district can have a long term debt of over
$52,000,000. Our long term debt is currently just over
$9 million. GASBY 45 states that districts have to have
an actuarial study every three years. The school district
needs to hire an actuary.

Connection and Togetherness for Women:
Womens Wellness Weekend
Keep the mind, body and spirit refreshed.
New Years Resolutions and lingering post-
holiday stress are looming and it is time to
plan for a weekend of wellness. In partner-
ship with Step Up Womens Network,
women are invited to participate in the
Womens Weekend of Wellness Living
Your Best Self on March 5-7. Aday package
is also available for women to experience the
Saturday-only events details below.
This reenergizing escape will inspire and
revitalize with a healthy itinerary of yoga,
speakers, dining, classes, and much needed
free time, rest and relaxation.
This Destination Kohler special event
will feature Sociologist, Author, Lecturer
and Educator Dr. Bertice Berry as the lead
keynote speakers. Additional special guest
speakers include Dawn Jackson Blatner, a
well-known nutritionist and author and Wis-
consin resident; Judith Wright, world-class
coach, lifestyle expert, author, and inspira-
tional speaker; Gina Marotta, Managing Di-
rector of Step Up Womens Network; Kiki
Vale, Chicago radio personality and motiva-
tional speaker; and Kohlers own Director of
