Village to receive $926,651grant for non-motorizedtransportation improvementsKevin Struck, a member of the Non-Mo-torized Transportation Pilot ProgramCommittee, contributed to this artile.

The third time was the charm. Afterhaving two Non-Motorized Transporta-tion Pilot Program grant applications re-jected by Sheboygan County in the pastthree years, the majority of the projectswithin the third application, jointly sub-mitted in September of 2008 by the Vil-lage of Kohler, the Kohler SchoolDistrict, and Kohler Co., was approved.The following projects within the appli-cation were approved to receive funding:� An enhanced at-grade crossing on

Greenfield Drive to connect theschool and southern part of the Vil-lage to the athletic fields and northern

half of the Village (see January 2009issue of The Kohler Villager),

� Sidewalk extensions through EbbenField to funnel pedestrians and bicy-clists to the Greenfield crossing,

� A 10-foot wide path through KohlerCo. property running from the High-land Ave-Greenfield Drive intersec-tion to the Erie Ave-Twin Oaks Roadintersection,

� Paved bike shoulders along HighlandDrive/CTH Y from Greenfield Drive toSuperior Avenue, plus bike lane strip-ing on the bridge over STH 23.

� Paved bike shoulders along LowerFalls Road/CTH PP from HighlandAvenue to Taylor Drive in Sheboygan.

In what was a pleasant surprise, theCounty Board’s Joint Resources andTransportation Committee (JRTC)added the County Road Y ShoulderPaving project even though the CitizenAdvisory Technical Committee had notincluded it a month earlier.

In July 2006, the U.S. Congress createdthe Non-Motorized Transportation PilotProgram. Sheboygan County was one offour areas of the country selected to par-ticipate in this pilot program, along withMarin County, California; Minneapolis,Minnesota; and Columbia, Missouri. Aspart of the Pilot Program, SheboyganCounty received up to $25 million overfour years to help local communities de-

velop networks of non-motorized trans-portation facilities to connect neighbor -hoods, retail centers, schools, recreationamenities, and employment centers,with a goal of encouraging people to oc-casionally bike or walk to destinationsrather than always relying on motorizedoptions.

Scott Anderson, president of KohlerCo. Hospitality & Real Estate Group -Destination Kohler, said he’s beenwatching the process very closely andcommended the Village, Kohler School,and Kohler Co. for working together toaccomplish the goal of securing some-thing that will benefit the whole commu-nity. “This is a terrific example of KohlerCo. and the Village of Kohler and theSchool Board working together, gettingsomething that’s going to benefit the en-tire community,” said Anderson. “I hopethe company, School Board and Villagecan work together on more projects inthe future.” Anderson said one of thethings that worried him the most whenhe first arrived in Kohler after acceptinga position at Kohler Co., was watchingchildren crossing Greenfield Drive be-tween the school and Ebben Field. Hesaid it’s “terrific” to see biking andpedestrian paths connecting Kohler tothe rest of the county.

Village Board President Tom Leon-hardt and Kohler School Board Presi-dent Jane Bishop both expressed similarsentiments about the collaborative ef-forts in securing the grant dollars. “Theawarding of this grant to Kohler can bedirectly attributable to excellent cooper-ative effort between the Kohler SchoolDistrict, the Village Board, and theKohler Co. I look forward to the imple-mentation of these projects as it will ben-efit the entire community and thoseliving near the Village,” said Leonhardt.School Board President Jane Bishopsaid, “The Kohler School Board isthrilled that we could collaborate withboth the Village and Kohler Co. to getthis grant that will help all of us in the Vil-lage of Kohler.Dashed lines show network of future new paved shoulders and sidewalk and trail additions.

The Village Board is considering ren-

ovating the old pump house at Lost

Woods park so it can be used as a three

season park shelter facility. The renova-

tion would create a covered park shelter,

something which currently does not

exist in the Village. The renovations

would include an addition to the south

which would create a room that would

have openings to allow for use during the

summer months with doors that close

for inclement weather and during spring

and fall months. The interior would in-

clude new restrooms, a small kitchen

and storage facilities along with the

gathering room. This facility would be

available to all village residents. The cost

of the project would be spread over 20

years to minimize any impact on taxpay-

ers. Village residents are encouraged to

forward any comments or suggestions to

Village Board members. Layout of proposed renovated building being considered by Village Board for Lost Woods Park

Extreme weather events com-pounded by dire economic news poseda challenge to public works depart-ments in many Wisconsin communi-ties in 2008. The year started withrecord snowfalls, bitter cold, sleet, andfreezing rain in January and February.April brought a late snow storm, fol-lowed by record flooding in June, adamaging windstorm in July, and morerecord snowfalls in November and De-cember to close the year.

The DPW, which is on call 24/7, is re-sponsible for snow removal and othermaintenance of streets, water andwastewater utilities, parks, streetlights, various village buildings includ-ing the Memorial building and theatre,pool, village gymnasium, and youthcenter. The department also providesbuilding inspection, zoning administra-tion, grass cutting, and snow removalservices at Ebben Field and KohlerSchools, and handles garbage, recy-cling, and yard waste.

Superintendent Bruce Neerhof,who’s been with the department for 19years, supervises six full-time employ-ees, four part-time seasonal workers,and one college student worker. Full-timers consist of Peter Weber andCharles Keller, who have both beenwith the department for 32 years,

Robert Dickman (31 years), DavidBuhler (26), Mike Kitzerow (7), MattMagle (6), and Administrative Assis-tant Bridget Long (3). Six of the staffmembers are certified water opera-tors, one is a certified wastewater op-erator, three are certified arborists,three are certified pool operators, oneis a licensed building inspector, and sixare commercially licensed truck driv-ers.

Neerhof said the biggest project for2008 was the Church Street repair andsewer project, and the installation ofnew energy-efficient lighting at the vil-lage garage. The project was com-pleted $6,000 under budget, and theVillage saw a savings of $140,000 due todiligent research and recommenda-tions by the DPW for alternatives tosewer reconstruction recommenda-tions by the consulting engineer. Themajor project slated for 2009 will be thereconstruction of School Street fromHighland Drive to West Park Lane.The project — scheduled to take placeJune 15 to September 1 — will includeinstallation of new curbs and gutters aswell as water and sewer lines,repaving, and installation of new light-ing.

One of the more memorable eventsfor the Kohler DPW was last July after

strong winds from a tornado spottedwest of the Village left a path ofdowned trees through Kohler. High-land Drive was so cluttered withbranches it was nearly impassible, butdue to the quick response and coordi-nation efforts of the DPW and policedepartment, the street was cleared fortraffic before the storm ended. Super-intendent Neerhof also worked withKohler Police Chief Bill Rutten to ac-quire FEMA funds to help pay for thestorm cleanup.

The Village also received a lettergrade of “A” on the DNR CMAR annualreport and a congratulatory e-mail fora job well done on its maintenance ofthe sanitary sewer collection system.The village also received an outstand-ing report from the annual DNR watersystem inspection. Other 2008 accomplishments by theDPW include:� Additional $10,000 in revenue for the

Village and accolades by the publicafter the DPW took over janitorialservices and pool operation at theMemorial Building. (Kohler Swim-nastics instructor Laura Drew com-mended the pool crew for keepingthe pool and its facilities in pristinecondition).

� Saved the Village $16,000 annually inutility locates fees and outside serv-ices for street light repair.

� Equipment purchases for 2008 andother miscellaneous repairs and up-grades were all under budget.

� Eliminated the last significant infil-tration leak in the Sunset sewers,which will save the Village signifi-cant pumping costs and eliminateany chance of a sanitary sewer over-flow.

� A savings of 300 hours of labor bytaking advantage of a Public ServiceCommission water meter program.

� Initiated a popular public relationsprogram offering free mulch for Vil-lage residents.

The Secret’s Out! JohnMichael Kohler ArtsCenter 2009 Benefit Gala

The John Michael Kohler Arts Centerwill host its annual Benefit Gala on Sat-urday, January 31, at 5:30 p.m. at the ArtsCenter. In keeping with tradition, thetheme of this fantastic fundraiser hasbeen a well-kept secret, but the ArtsCenter is letting the cat out of the bag.

The public is invited to join in for amost unusual event: “Improbable Para-mours: The Oddest Couples of All.” Seethe fabulously far-fetched pairings ofSonny and Cher, Mary Poppins and KingKong, the Dalai Lama and Mae West,and Britney Spears and Einstein. Guestsare invited to concoct their own incon-ceivable combinations and come as theywere never meant to be. Guests are en-couraged, but not required, to dress ac-cording to the theme. Black tie optional.

For 21 years, the Arts Center hashosted the premiere fundraising cos-tume gala in the area, and the auction isone of the most innovative and originalaround. Last year, nearly 300 guests sup-ported the Gala, and over the years theevent has raised many thousands of dol-lars to benefit Arts Center programming.This kind of support allows the Arts Cen-ter to continue to be open free of chargeto the public seven days a week, directlyimpacting more than 160,000 childrenand adults each year, including at-risk

youth and those struggling with the cur-

rent economic times. The Gala, there-

fore, is not only a good time, but it is a

good time for a great cause!

Gala guests enjoy exotic beverages

from the cash bar and feast on a sump-

tuous dinner created by the chefs from

the incomparable kitchens of The Amer-

ican Club. Music will be provided by Mr.

Lucky, a popular dance band from Mil-

waukee. Guests may bid in a wine auc-

tion prior to dinner. Live and silent

auctions will feature exotic experiences

and trips to Europe and the Far East,

golf at the Monterey Peninsula Country

Club, sparkling jewelry, magnificent din-

ners, handsome furnishings, and of

course, one-of-a-kind works of art.

Special overnight rates at the nearby

Inn on Woodlake and The American Club

will be available for Gala guests on the

night of the event. Guests may purchase

tickets at varying donation levels. Corpo-

rations are invited to purchase tables of

ten.

Care

“It’s such a comfort to know mom is well taken

of.”

Join us for an open house: Saturday, February 28, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Sheboygan Falls, WI -- To enhance thequality of life for residents, the board ofdirectors of Pine Haven Christian Homeapproved the transition of 22 semi-pri-vate rooms to private rooms. Thischange will assure Pine Haven main-tains its excellent reputation and contin-ues the tradition of quality care byreducing their nursing home beds from71 to 49.“The demand for private rooms hasbeen growing for many years,” said JeffJenkins,Administrator of Pine Haven. “This de-cision was made after careful researchto assure that adequate nursing homebed capacity would continue to exist inthe area if we reduced our bed count.”

The senior housing industry is mov-ing to assisted living, thereby reducingthe need for nursing home facilities.When people are in need of a skillednursing facility, they typically are usinga walker or wheelchair which alsomeans the common spaces are morecongested.

There is also increasing concern byregulatory agencies regarding infectioncontrol in senior housing. Offering allprivate rooms will allow better diseasemanagement and the ability to mitigatethe spread of communicable diseases.

“We intend to achieve our nursinghome bed reduction by attrition. Thiswill necessitate a reduction in staffwhich we also plan to do through attri-tion or reassignment. The board is com-mitted to treating all residents andemployees with dignity and respectthroughout the process. We have an ex-cellent reputation for quality care andwe are committed to preserving thatreputation,” said Jenkins.

Pine Haven Christian Home in She-boygan Falls opened in 1950 and ex-panded in1992. They offer 49 beds in the skillednursing wing and 140 licensed rooms inthe residential center wing. Their sisterfacility, Prairie Crossing, offers assistedliving apartment homes in a welcomingsenior community. The newest additionto the community will be Pine Haven -Oostburg which is currently under de-velopment. While Pine Haven ChristianCommunities are supported by eighteenlocal churches, residents of all faiths andbackgrounds are welcome.

Pine Haven's mission is to providequality, compassionate care in a Chris-tian environment. For more informationabout Pine Haven visit www.pine-haven.org or call 467-2401.

law enforcement. Many people have beenwondering how that money affects the localpolice department. Our response is that wehave never received any money from thosesolicitations, and I recommend that peopledon’t donate to the telemarketers. My recom-mendation would be for those that want todonate, do so directly to the charity of yourchoice. Telemarketing is a business and onlya portion of that money goes to those associa-tions/entities. Also, these types of calls canbe annoying, but due to their affiliation withnon-profit organizations, they are not re-stricted by the “No Call list”.

Vacation ChecksDon’t forget that if you are planning to goaway on spring break or at any time duringthe year, that you may have the Kohler PoliceDepartment check your house while you aregone. Residents can now request a vacationcheck on-line through the Kohler Police De-partment’s web page, by stopping by the de-partment or calling. If you call outside ofregular business hours you may leave a mes-sage too. In your message just include yourname, address, duration of your vacation andany other pertinent information that we mayneed to know. Some pertinent informationmay include lights that are on timers, alarms,and names of persons that may stop by orkeyholders. Any other questions about thisservice, please call the police department.

FROM POLICE CHIEF BILL RUTTE�Deer Abatement UpdateThe Village of Kohler is again participatingin the deer abatement program. Last year theVillage utilized the police force to cull 24deer from the herd. We again are utilizingthe police force to cull more deer with theassistance of deer traps. The use of the trapsmakes it easier to remove the deer in the res-idential neighborhoods where sharpshootingwould not have been an option. The snowdepth has made the deer move into the resi-dential area sooner this winter than in thepast. I have talked to many residents aboutthis problem and we are making progress.The DNR allows the culling based uponsafety concerns and car vs. deer accidents.The bi-product of the culling of the deershould be the reduction in loss of vegetationaround our homes. I am aware that this yearthe deer have been extremely damaging. Wewill continue with our program until our per-mit is up in early March. We will probablyneed to continue the program annually tokeep the herd in check.

EMERGENCY OR INCLEMENT WEATHERCLOSING 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 arrange-

ments 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)

Throughout the trip we took courses and partici-pated in many fun, educational activities such asarchery, compass and GPS navigation, tree identifi-cation, animal classification, and survival skills.Everyday, we would take a course about a specificskill and then go on a hike and practice the skill onour own. Our favorite activity was navigating withcompasses and GPS units.

Trees For Tomorrow was an awesome experiencethat taught us a lot of interesting things about the en-vironment and nature. It was definitely a highlight ofour year!

Trees for Tomorrow is a Wisconsin environmental

tradition, offering programs, workshops, and special

interest classes to students since 1944. TFT provides

participants an opportunity that none forget. TFT is

a natural resource education program that gives its

participants a better understanding of resource con-

servation and management. The program especially

focuses on the forest ecosystem and the environmen-

tal relationships that the ecosystem entails. The pro-

grams present a balanced variety of perspectives on

natural resource topics so that participants can de-

velop informed decisions on wise management of our

resources. Kohler High School has selected many

students over the years to participate in this once in

a life-time opportunity. This year is no exception.

Scholarships for the fall 2008 trip were provided by the

Sheboygan County Conservation Association and

Kohler Company.

The Four “R” forSchool Success

Submitted by Susan Jaberg-Elementary Principal

We all know the importance of the three “R’s”: reading,writing and arithmetic. The three “R’s” are basics of a goodeducation. At Kohler Elementary, we stand behind this oldphilosophy and work hard to strengthen the three “R’s” ineverything we do.

Let’s add an additional “R” to this foundation for success.May I suggest the fourth “R” be Responsibility? Well-disci-plined students take responsibility for their own learning andbehavior at home and at school. They don’t have to benagged about doing their homework or attending school—because they are self-motivated and self-directed.Well-disciplined students don’t make excuses or blame othersfor their problems. They make good choices about what todo and when to do it. They are conscientious and resource-ful—they don’t quit easy.

Responsible behavior is not inborn it has to be taught. It’sthe job of parents and teachers. Once a student has this skillthey have many doors open to them. And as a parent, onceyour child starts taking responsibility your life and their lifebecomes more enjoyable.

How do we teach responsibility? Here are a few sugges-tions that might help you out:

1. Responsible students set goals for themselves. Haveyour child write down their goals. Start with small goalsand check on their progress. Research states that the top10% of most successful people write goals!

2. Responsible students learn to plan their time. Are theyon time for school? Do they set aside time for home-work? Do they keep track of important dates? Keep aschedule for 21 days and it’ll be a habit. Did you knowthat the same students come late for school each day? Ican list who they are! This is a habit you want to changeearly on! Remember that a student that is late becomesan employee that is late!

3. Responsible students have a study plan and ways to trackassignments. Do your children have a set place to study?And a set time? Do they break down the work so it’s notall completed in one “stressful” night?

4. Responsible students come to school with the correcttools. Do your children have assignment planners, etc?Are they organized? Occasionally, I spot parents organ-izing their child’s folders and locker….How is this goingto help them? If your child needs your help, show themhow to do it so they can be responsible for themselves.

5. Responsible students get along well with others.6. Responsible students accept consequences for their ac-

tions.It may take a lot of effort to get a child on track but it’s

worth it. As your child becomes a self-confident, independentlearner, you will have met one of your most important respon-sibilities. You will have taught your child the attitudes andskill needed to grow into a responsible and capable adult.

THE KOHLER TIMES – NEWSLETTER OF KOHLER PUBLIC SCHOOLS

A Parents’ Role in Building theirChild’s Social Skills(an adapted series by Tamra O’Keefe, school psychologist)Some children can not learn social skills on their own. They need to have skills directlytaught to them step by step. Often parents will ask, “How do I help my child to fit in withhis/her peers?” Girls can be socially at a loss of how to join in with friends and demon-strate appropriate skills in developing friendships, and boys either prefer to play by them-selves, or will sit back and act as an observer instead of joining in. So how does a parenthelp their child to connect with peers?

In Raise Your Child’s Social IQ, author Cathi Cohen outlines concrete steps in helpingyour child to mesh with others. She breaks the steps down for parents using measurablemethods to determine your childs’ growth in improving friendship skills. This article isthe first in a series of how to accomplish these steps with your child.

� Chapter One- Outlines the steps of introducing new social skills, involving: 1-Settinggoals with your child and 2-Helping your child learn good play date behavior.

� Step One- Discusses talking to your child about the need for social skills and an intro-duction to the “skill of the week.” Skills should be introduced in a positive manner, soas not to make the child feel badly about him/herself. Instead of saying, “I want to helpyou make friends,” he/she might respond better if you say, “I want to help you have morefriends.” Cathi discusses that you will need to introduce the do’s and don’t’s of the skilland that some goals may take a week, month or even longer to develop.

� Step Two- Outlines choosing a goal with your child. Goals should be specific and meas-urable and of your child’s choosing. If your child does not see that he/she is interruptingin a conversation, it is unlikely they will succeed at changing the behavior.

Examples of good and effective goals are as follows

Good Goals: Ineffective Goals:

� Step Three- Establish a baseline. You need to observe your child’s behavior for at leasta week and perhaps get input from school. Goals need to address where the child expe-riences the difficulties. If your child indicates that they do not have anyone to play withat recess, the teacher will need to observe them on the playground to see if this is true.If he/she plays by themselves daily the goal will be more clearly defined than if he/sheplays with others some of the time.

� Step Four- Write down all the elements of the goal. Include the “who, what, when andwhere” of the goal. Specifically, write down who the goal involves, where the goal willbe performed, what the goal is, and when it will be accomplished. For instance: “Pamwill say hello (what) to Sandy(who) on the playground(where) tomorrow (when).”

� Step Five- Do a “check-in.” If the goal is a daily one, check in to be sure the goal is ac-complished. Chart them on a daily sheet.

� Step Six-Reward your child for their progress. If your child accomplishes their goal re-ward them. Ultimately the goal is improved friendship, however the rewards they receivenow will help to keep motivating them to work toward improving their social skills.

Possible rewards:� Stickers, stars, or chips traded in for a small toy.� Time with a parent alone without siblings� Extra computer time� Choice of dessert� Extra TV time� Playing a special game� Special snack or treat� Renting a video

Encouraging the basics- 1. Help your child nurture one or two friendships.

It is more important that your child has one or two good friends than a slew of ac-quaintances.

2. Do not overschedule your child with structured extracurricular activities.Unstructured play dates are better environments for children to learn and practicesocial skills.

3. Get involved with community or church activities.Neighborhood parties and outings are wonderful ways for parents and children tobecome connected. If your child is reluctant to join an activity, make it a require-ment that they must try it two times before they decide.

4. Review social goals with your child prior to social outings.For instance, “Tell me Alice, what are you going to do when you first get to theparty?” “I am going to go over to where the kids are playing and ask them if I canjoin in.” “That is a good idea…Go for it!”
