“GROWTH isthe only evidence oflife”, (John HenryNewman). In thesame vein, one couldsay that growth de-mands change. Themovement fromsummer to fall iscertainly a changefor those who live in

the Midwest…which is evidenced by thechange from humid temperatures to those ofless humidity and lower temperatures. In theVillage of Kohler other changes have takenplace this past year. Most evident are thenew shelter/pavilion at Lost Woods Park andthe new Children’s Swimming Pool. Plus,there are the ongoing maintenance projectsand upgrading of the Village’s infrastructure.Amazing how these changes, even in themidst of our dour economy, bring a feelingof rebirth and a zest for living. Our thoughts continue to be with AnnReinbacher and her family. On October 11th,at the 5:30 p.m. monthly Village BoardMeeting, the Steve Reinbacher MemorialPlaque will be presented to Ann and herfamily. Also, a memorial plaque in Steve’sname will be displayed in the KirkpatrickCenter at that time. The public is welcomeand encouraged to attend these two brief cer-emonies. The meeting will be held in theKirkpatrick Center. Further growth and change in the Village

is evidenced with the Kohler School Dis-trict’s new superintendent, Mr. Marty Lex-mond. His most recent position was in thearea of curriculum and instruction for theMilwaukee School District. The VillageBoard is pleased to welcome Mr. Lexmondand extend our congratulations to him. TheVillage Board will work closely with him,the Kohler School Board and staff for con-tinuing the excellence of the Kohler Schoolsand assisting with the growth and changesfor the Kohler Schools. The Village Board vacancy was filled onSeptember 20th at a Special Board Meeting.Eight Village residents stepped forward tobe considered for the position. This was un-believable and encouraging that such a largenumber of candidates were interested inserving on the Village Board. Obviously,only one could be selected. Congratulationsto Tom Schnettler. There will be three vacancies on the Vil-lage for the Spring Elections: the VillageBoard President position and two Villagetrustee positions. This past summer was the Men’s PGA atWhistling Straits. It goes without saying thatMr. Herbert Kohler’s love for golf haschanged the area dramatically. Havingworked in the tech check area, where be-tween 15,000 to 20,000 cell phones, i-pods,knives, cameras, and a few breast milk ma-chines were checked in, there was a feelingthat the crowds would never stop coming.Hats off to Mr. Kohler for another successful

golfing event!!! Mark your calendars for theWomen’s U.S. Open Golf Tournament atBlackwolf Run in 2012!!! The Village Board is continuing thebudgeting process for 2011. Throughout themonths of October and November, the Vil-lage Board Chairpersons will meet with theirrespective committees for finalizing theirproposed budgets. On November 15th, theBudget Hearing will be held for the VillageBoard to make the final adjustments to theproposed 2011 Budget. The public is invitedto attend that meeting. Every attempt will bemade to continue to enhance the amenitiesof our community in a fiscally responsiblemanner. With the cooler fall days edging us closerto the winter season, you may want to con-sider attending the Kohler Food & Wine Ex-perience – from October 21-24. Anopportunity to pick up a few special gifts forthe holiday season!!! Best of wishes…John Egan,Interim Village President

What is hospice?The word “hospice” stems from the Latin

word “hospitium” meaning guesthouse. It wasoriginally used to describe a place of shelter forweary and sick travelers returning from religiouspilgrimages. During the 1960’s, Dr. CicelySaunders, a British physician began the modernhospice movement by establishing St. Christo-pher’s Hospice near London. St. Christopher’sorganized a team approach to professional care-giving, and was the first program to use modernpain management techniques to compassion-ately care for the dying. The first hospice in theUnited States was established in New Haven,Connecticut in 1974.

Hospice offers care that seeks to comfortrather than cure, offering comprehensive, com-passionate care for people at the end of life andsupport for their families. Hospice is not a placebut a concept of care and can be provided in nu-merous settings including assisted living facili-ties, hospitals and long-term care facilities.Some hospices have residential units designedto provide a homelike setting where hospice isprovided. Patients facing the advancing stagesof terminal illness are eligible for such care. Thismay be a result of one of many conditions in-cluding: end stage heart disease or cancer, de-mentia, lung, liver, or kidney diseases, orAlzheimer's to name a few. Finding a cure at thispoint is no longer desired or expected by the pa-tient, family or both. Hospice care becomes ap-propriate when treatments are no longereffective and the burden of the disease becomestoo much to bear for the patient and family.

Hospice provides relief from physical andemotional pain so that the patient and family canspend their remaining days with comfort anddignity. If a patient’s condition improves, he orshe can be discharged from hospice and returnto aggressive treatment or resume daily life. Ifthe patient should later need to return to hospice,Medicare and most insurance programs willallow additional coverage. Care focuses on theentire family. Hospice teams teach families howto be involved in their loved one’s care. Hospicecare does not end when a patient dies. Grief sup-port staff and volunteers usually maintain con-tact with families for months after the death ofa patient offering a variety of bereavement andcounseling services.

Attendees areencouraged to show school spirit by wearinganything from past, representing an era, topresent.

Exciting items will be“on the block”, including an Orlando condostay, a “car for the summer,” a graduationparty package, Packer tickets, an off-to-col-lege kit, a weekend to Chicago’s Park Hyatt,dinner for 10 at River Wildlife, and more.

This year, the Kohler School Foundationwanted to highlight the artistic talent of thestudents. Fifth grade elementary studentswill be working with a local, yet nationally-known glass artist, Beth Lipman, to createhanging glass leaves to be sold at the event

to benefit the Annual Fund. Students in first,second, and third grades will create a mosaicgarden bench, mirror and fire pit for the auc-tion. The students learned new techniques byincorporating this project into their visual artclasses. The one-of-a-kind mosaic pieces arebeing made with the collective efforts of theKohler School art department, volunteerparents and local businesses. “We wanted todemonstrate a truly collaborative process.

Kohler School Art Teacher, Stacy Stanley, explains the process for painting the tiles for the kids’ mosaic bench.

Book reviewThe Company Town: The Industrial Edens and SatanicMills that Shaped the American EconomyHardy Green. New York:Basic Books, 2010. 248 pp. Utopia or Exploita-tionville? Drawing on hisbackground as a historian ofcorporate social experimen-tation, Hardy Green, a for-mer associate editor atBusinessWeek, attempts topaint a portrait of the evolu-tion of American industryby highlighting several ofthe more than 2,500 com-pany towns that sprang uparound such well-knownbrands as Hershey, U.S. Steel, Maytag,Phillips Petroleum, and, yes, Kohler. TheCompany Town offers vivid and at timesfascinating stories about captains of industryand the work places and products they cre-ated. Moving mostly chronologically throughsome of the major innovations in Americanhistory, Green begins with the textile millsof New England, focusing especially on thedevelopment of Lowell, Massachusetts inthe early 1800s. The heart of the town wasthe mill and boardinghouses, which pro-vided jobs and housing for Yankee girls whoworked 12-hour days, six days a week. Bythe 1930s, Lowell’s labor force had transi-tioned to immigrant workers, textile produc-tion had largely shifted to the South, and thetown itself was in decay. Today the mill dis-trict is a national park and Lowell is tryingto reinvent itself as a high-tech center. Next, in a chapter entitled “Utopia,”Green explores the development of pater-nalistic towns like Pullmann, Illinois; Her-shey, Pennsylvania; and Corning, NewYork. In these company towns the foundersbelieved that pleasant working and livingconditions encouraged dependable andhard-working employees. In Pullmann, forexample, which was developed by themaker of the Pullmann passenger trainsleeping cars, houses came with natural gasand running water, a rarity for the 1880s,and the town included a Moorish-style the-ater, a library, a “Queen Ann-style” hotel,and a school, parks, and playing fields. Atleast one critic, however, saw the enterpriseas “benevolent, well-wishing feudalism.”Indeed, the company employed “inspec-tors,” who kept an eye on residents day andnight to make sure their opinions and habitswere acceptable. From here the author ventures to theother extreme, taking a look at dingy coaltowns, southern mill towns, and steel towns.Gary, Indiana, the city that quickly grew uparound the massive U.S. Steel plants there,gets an in-depth look. The company largelyleft the development of the town to privatereal estate promoters, which resulted incheap frame houses and no codes for run-ning water, toilets, or sewers. Not that its in-habitants spent much time at home: theywere either working one of their lengthyseven-day-a week shifts or brawling at oneof the local saloons (at one point there wasone saloon for every 88 citizens in Gary). In subsequent chapters, Green discussesoil towns (e.g., Beaumont, Texas); auto in-dustry centers (e.g., Dearborn, Michigan);meatpacking towns (e.g., Austin, Min-nesota); and a few of the places that sprangup almost overnight to support our nation’smilitary efforts during World War II. One ofthese, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where pluto-nium was produced for the first atomic

bombs, makes for especiallyinteresting reading.

Finally, Green briefly ex-amines the type of “town” as-sociated with today’s newcompanies. Rather than man-ufacturing based communi-ties, these sprawlingtechnology-related centers,built by companies likeGoogle, rely on automationand consequently only em-ploy hundreds instead of thethousands required by manu-facturing companies in their

heyday. Overall, the book is an engaging look atthe history of industry in the United States.That is, however, also its chief flaw. Welearn more about textile milling and nuclearfission than we do about the actual townssupporting them. The chapter titled “Ex-ploitationville” is a typical example. Of thechapter’s 32 pages, only eleven are actuallyabout company towns. Much of the contentdwells on employer/employee relations,unions, and strikes—as if they were some-how peculiar to company towns. (In actual-ity we know that strikes revolve aroundlabor issues and can happen anywhereworkers are organized. Two of the most fa-mous strikes in U.S. history, the postal strikeof 1970 and the air traffic controller strikeof 1981, for instance, had no connectionwhatsoever to company towns.) The book contains no maps to show thelocation or layout of any of the towns, pre-cious few photographs of any of the com-munities, and little direct descriptions frominhabitants about the impact of companytowns on their work. The subtitle (overwhich, admittedly, the author might nothave had control) is downright misleading.Company towns did not shape the Americaneconomy. They were nothing more thansupport structures, at best. If anythingshaped the American economy, it was inno-vation and consumer demand. (And “Sa-tanic” Mills? Yes, the factories could beoppressive, but I doubt whether any exor-cists were called in!) The six pages of the book devoted to theVillage of Kohler embody the book’s flaw.We are told this particular company town’spopulation and its location relative to Mil-waukee. A mere six brief sentences are al-located to telling us that landscape architectswere hired, construction began in 1912, andthe result was “a picturesque settlement ofwinding streets, parks, and brick and framehouses amid plentiful greenery.” That’s it.The rest describes the Kohlers themselves,the current resort offerings, company prod-ucts, and especially the past relations be-tween management, workers, and unions.There’s plenty about strikes, and very littleabout the town itself. Given that Green’s career focus has beenon business and his Ph.D. is in U.S. Historyand not geography, architecture, or plan-ning, it is perhaps not surprising that thefocus of the book is on the history of com-panies rather than towns. The book is wellwritten and interesting for those seeking in-formation about the history of industry inAmerica. If, on the other hand, you aredrawn by the title into expecting to readabout life in any of the wide variety of com-pany towns that have dotted the country,you’ll probably be a bit disappointed.

The students listed will partici-pate in this year’s water testingprogram at Kohler High School

This science enrichment program allows students to participate in a community serviceproject and also encourages them to use some of their biology and chemistry skills.

The students will be actively involved in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting biologyand chemistry data related to the water quality of the Sheboygan River. The Kohlergroup is responsible for testing the river near Black Wolf Run Golf Course. Some of thetests include dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, pH, temperature, total phos-phates, nitrates, turbidity, total solids, fecal coliform, and macroinvertebrates. The watertest results are sent to the Maywood Environmental Center, and also to the local Depart-ment of Natural Resources. Other Sheboygan County schools test different parts of theriver. All of the results are shared at a forum in the spring at Maywood. Along with pre-senting the data, students suggest explanations for their findings, and work together toexplore possible action plans that might have a positive impact on the area’s land conser-vation and the environment. Students attend sessions where water quality experts pro-vide needed information. Students involved in the program are currently taking physics,advanced honors biology, or chemistry. Ms. Krejcarek is the science teacher leading thisgroup. 2010-2011 Testing the Waters Team: Seniors JuniorIlirian Ameti John BenishekMaren Bogard Andrew GoodellDan Chen Garrett GriswoldSarah Chung Jacob HartKaitlin Esche Claire HillstromHannah Fenton Michael KruegerCarissa Gartman Christina LindstromDanielle Hart Melyssa LouwagieKaylie Ladwig Eric MehokeChristine Leffel Sarah MolepskeMeghan Long Peter NebelAlex Mauer Rachel O’KeefeMary Molepske Charles OlmstedAustin Neerhof Lily ProudmanJenna Peters Alex RomanoskiKara Saemann Brendan SchneiderVicky Von Vajna Greg SuralikShawn Vroom Alex Vander Schaaf

Board of Education Regular Meeting�Minutes

Procedures for school closingsdue to inclement weather:

We ask parents to discuss this issue with their children now – before the actual emer-gency occurs. If you are generally not home during the day, be sure your child knowswhere they are to go if school closed early: will they go home with a classmate; an oldersibling; or a relative? Have you made prior arrangements with this individual to be on“stand by” for these occasions? Please make your arrangements in advance and makesure your child is fully aware of what to do in case school closes early.

Any decision to close school for all or any portion of a school day will be made as earlyas possible in order to afford parents the opportunity to make alternate child care trans-portation plans. All closing announcements or early dismissals will be made on the KohlerSchool web site www.kohlerpublicschools.org and the following area radio/television sta-tions: 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, Channel 6.

Riverbend featured in newbook: Twenty remarkable homes illuminate the rich history of residential architecture

What do you see when you look at astately old home? The exquisite crafts-manship, detailed embellishments, and im-posing silhouette of a notable historichome inspire our awe, but also conjurequestions of the story behind the structure.We want to know who built this house,what brought them here, why they selectedthat particular style, and how this historichome has survived when so many succumbto development pressures. “Wisconsin'sOwn: Twenty Remarkable Homes”

($45.00, ISBN: 978-0-87020-452-4), byM. Caren Connolly and Louis Wassermanwith photographs by Zane Williams, opensthe door to venerable homes throughoutthe state, satisfying our curiosity and illu-minating the considerable contributionWisconsin's historic homes have made toAmerican residential architecture.

Riverbend, located in the Village ofKohler, was selected as one of the 20homes featured. The gracefully ramblingestate of former Wisconsin Governor Wal-

ter J. Kohler opened its doors in June 2001as a luxurious, private membership retreat.The opening culminated a 14-monthrestoration of Riverbend, acclaimed as oneof the 30 most beautiful mansions inAmerica in the 1960s.

Authors M. Caren Connolly and LouisWasserman and the Wisconsin HistoricalSociety researched and carefully consid-ered 1,500 potential houses before narrow-ing the selection to twenty remarkableresidences constructed between 1854 and1939. Built for captains of industry, a beerbaron, Broadway stars, and more, thesehouses are a mix of public museums youmay have visited and private homesyou've been hoping for an invitation to ex-plore. These homes are representative ofthe diverse architectural styles in Wiscon-sin, including: an Italianate along the Mis-sissippi; an interpretation of asixteenth-century northern Italian villaoverlooking Lake Michigan; an Adiron-dack-style camp in the North Woods; afourteen-bedroom Georgian Revival man-sion on Lake Geneva. The Prairie Schoolis also represented, with examples byFrank Lloyd Wright and his mentor LouisSullivan.

Elegantly illustrated with the color pho-tography of Zane Williams complementedby historical images and watercolors andline drawings by the authors, “Wisconsin’s

Own” offers an intimate tour of residentialtreasures that have endured the test oftime.

“In a very real sense, history is just sto-ries about people. This marvelous bookuses stories about people – where theycame from, what they believed in, whatthey dreamed of, and especially what kindof homes they built – to present a com-pelling history of a special part of Amer-ica. From a quirky octagon of the 1850s toan Art Moderne marvel of the 1930s, thehouses on these pages remind us of therichness of Wisconsin's heritage – and theimportance of keeping it intact and alive.”-Richard Moe, President, National Trustfor Historic Preservation

“‘Wisconsin’s Own: Twenty Remark-able Homes’ is so visually and intellectu-ally stunning that you can forget the iPador Kindle. You'll want to hold this exhaus-tively researched book in your hands. A must-see for lovers of historic homes.” -Mary Van de Kamp Nohl, MilwaukeeMagazine

“Wisconsin's Own” is generouslyfunded by the Jeffris Family Foundationof Janesville, committed to funding proj-ects that preserve Wisconsin's cultural his-tory through the preservation of regionallyand nationally important buildings anddecorative arts projects.
