perts say no one kind of tree should make
up more than 20% of your total tree pop-
ulation). Only those trees located on Vil-

areas and the terraces
lining the streets will
be treated. Ash trees lo-
cated on private proper-
ties will be the
responsibility of prop-
erty owners who should
contact a local tree expert. At this time,
residents are not required to treat their
Ash trees with pesticides, but require-
ments for dealing with infested trees may
be enforced in the future if/when the bee-

Dickert
announces
resignation
from County
Board
Jeff Dickert has an-
nounced that he will re-
sign from his position
as County Board Su-
pervisor effective May
15.
Dickert, who served as
superintendent of the Kohler School District
for seven years, accepted the position of
Agency Administrator for the Cooperative
Educational Service Agency (CESA 7) in
Green Bay last summer. With the sale of
their Kohler home finalized, the Dickerts
will relocate to the Green Bay area leaving
a vacancy on the County Board which
Dickert was elected to a year ago. He sub-
mitted the following letter to his con-
stituents:
Dear Constituents of Sheboygan
County District 18:
It has been a great pleasure to serve as
your County Board Supervisor for the past
year. During this time your County Board
decreased the County tax levy for the sec-
ond straight year (the only county of the
72 to do so); allocated almost $1 million
dollars of Non-Motorized Transportation
Federal Funds for a comprehensive bik-
ing path system in Kohler through a joint
effort of Kohler Schools, Village of Kohler,
and the Kohler Company; and approved
a $3 million expansion of the County Air-
port using 90% of federal funds that will
assist our local corporations that use the
airport, as well as for tourism and other
groups that fly into Sheboygan County.
Due to the sale of my Kohler home and
relocation to DePere, I will no longer be
eligible to serve as your County Supervi-
sor. Thus on May 15th, I will resign my
position. Sheboygan County Board Chair
Michael Vandersteen will announce in the
Sheboygan Press the procedure to fill the
vacancy. I encourage anyone truly inter-
ested in civic duty to apply. I have thor-
oughly enjoyed the short time I served and
know that whoever is selected will feel the
same. Please give it some thought. If you
have any questions about the position and
the time commitment, please feel free to
contact me at 920-351-3003.
Village trees to be treated
for Emerald Ash Borer
Throughout May, the Village of
Kohler will be applying pesticide treat-
ments by injection, or preemptively re-
moving ash trees on Village property in
an effort to prepare for the inevitable fu-
ture invasion of the Emerald Ash Borer.
Sheboygan County, along with Ozau-
kee, Washington, and Fond du Lac coun-
ties have been placed under a quarantine
that restricts the movement of North
American ash trees and their wood by
residents and businesses in these coun-
ties. Officials with the Wisconsin De-
partment of Agriculture, Trade and
Consumer Protection and the Depart-
ment of Natural Resources also recently
announced on April 7, 2009 that the
emerald ash borer (EAB) has been con-
firmed in Vernon County. As of this print-
ing, a suspected infestation just south of
Sheboygan Falls is scheduled to be inves-
tigated by experts from Madison. Results
will be reported on the Kohler weblog at
www.kohlervillager.com as soon as they
are received.
The beetle was first
detected last August in
the Newburg/Saukville
area located near the
Ozaukee and Washing-
ton county line. Many
of the new infestations of EAB in the
Midwest were started by someone mov-
ing infested firewood.
Bruce Neerhof, Public Works and Zon-
ing Superintendent for Kohler said that
only attractive, healthy ash trees will re-
ceive the pesticide injections. Unattrac-
tive trees will be cut down and replaced

inventoried for treatment, the total cost
will be approximately $12,000. He said
theres no guarantee the treatment will be
100% effective.
Some of the symptoms of EAB infes-
tation include:Crown dieback: Dieback
of the upper and outer crown begins to
occur after multiple years of EAB larval
feeding. Trees begin to show dead
branches throughout the canopy, begin-
ning at the top. Foliage in the top of the
tree may be thin and discolored.
Epicormic Sprouting: Stressed trees
will attempt to grow new branches and
leaves where they still can. Trees may
sucker excessively both at the base of the
tree and on the trunk, often just below
where the larvae are feeding.
Bark splits: Vertical splits in the bark
are caused due to callus tissue that devel-
ops around larval galleries. Larval gal-
leries can often be seen beneath bark
splits.
Woodpecker feeding: Woodpeckers
feed on emerald ash borer larvae located
under the bark. Feeding is typically evi-
dent higher in the tree where the emerald
ash borer prefers to attack first. Large
numbers of larvae under the bark can lead
to woodpecker damage that looks like
strips of bark have been pulled off of the
tree. This is called flecking.

owners information can be found at:

events from readers. Editorial staff reserves the right to edit as necessary.
Advertising and submission deadline: The 20th of each month.
Dear Village Resi-
dents,
It is an honor for me
having been elected as
the next President of
the Kohler Village
Board. As your Village
Board President, it is
my intent to communicate with you reg-
ularly in The Kohler Villager. Ms. Mary
Struck, editor of The Kohler Villager, has
invited me to contribute monthly updates
from the Kohler Village Board.
One of the projects that the Village
Board is moving forward on is the Lost
Woods Park shelter. At a recent meeting,
the Village Board interviewed five archi-
tectural firms for developing the plans for
the Lost Woods Park Shelter, in coopera-
tion with the Kohler Company. The
Board unanimously chose Omni Associ-
ates from the Fox Valley area. This is an
advantageous time for a project of this na-
ture, since the construction field is look-
ing for work. To date, the bidding process
has been very competitive and is in the
Villages favor. In the event that con-
struction should begin prior to the end of
July, the Village Board will consider the
needs of the summer Recreation Depart-
ment programs. A safe environment will
be guaranteed for the youth of the Village
at all times.
Another project that will begin in early
summer is the repaving of School Street
from Highland Drive to West Park Lane.
This segment of School Street has been
in poor condition for several years and it
has been exacerbated by the severe winter
of 2009!!! Here, too, there will be some
minor inconveniences, but the end result
will be worth it.
From my conversations with several
Village residents, it is obvious that we are
ready for summer. Even though school is
in session for more than a month yet, now
is the time to review and sign up for the
many fine summer programs our Recre-
ation Department has to offer. Keep in
mind that the Village swimming pool and
Youth Center are open on a regular basis.
Check out those schedules and enjoy
some of the amenities available in the Vil-
lage.
Please be assured that your Village
Board has a sincere interest in continuing
the fine traditions that have developed
over the years. Yet, the need to move for-
ward is imperative. As this is done, fiscal
responsibility will be an integral part of
my plan.
Until next time,
Steve Reinbacher,
Village President

The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh,
UWSheboygan and UW-Manitowoc
have entered into a new partnership that
will allow Sheboygan and Manitowoc
County residents to earn a Bachelor of
Science (BS) degree in Criminal Justice
from UW-Oshkosh at the either UW-She-
boygan or UW-Manitowoc campuses.
UW-Oshkoshs BS program is de-
signed specifically to serve adult nontra-
ditional students and will be delivered at
UW-Sheboygan and UW-Manitowoc
using a combination of face-to-face
classes, distance learning technology and
online learning. Classes in the new Crim-
inal Justice program will begin in Fall
2009.
UW-Sheboygan Dean and CEO Al
Hardersen, UW-Manitowoc Dean and
CEO Daniel Campagna, UW-Oshkosh In-
terim Provost E. Alan Hartman and UW-
Oshkosh College of Letters and Science
Dean, John Koker will sign the pact on
Monday, May 4, 2009, at 10:30 a.m. Area
law enforcement officials have been in-
vited and the event is open to the public.
This agreement allows students to earn
their associate degree at either UW-She-
boygan or UW-Manitowoc while simul-
taneously fulfilling their general
education course requirements necessary
to earn their bachelors degree from UW-
Oshkosh. A prerequisite for this program
is an Associate of Arts and Science de-
gree.
The Criminal Justice degree prepares
students for careers in government, law
enforcement, social work, forensics, cor-
rections or other government agencies.
Students of the Criminal Justice program
will focus on areas such as policy formu-
lation and analysis; writing; critical think-
ing; data analysis and crime response
theory.
Many law enforcement agencies
around the country require a bachelors
degree for advancement to command po-
sitions within their departments. With the
competitive nature of this field, we are
pleased to be offering our program to the
residents of Sheboygan and Manitowoc
Counties, said Koker.
It is especially important in our cur-
rent economic times to encourage stu-
dents to go on to obtain their four-year
degree, said Hartman. We are commit-
ted to providing new local avenues of
entry for Wisconsins college-bound. We
want to make sure students have readily
available access to all types of four-year
degrees.
Hardersen said that adult learners are
enrolling in bachelors degree programs
available at UW-Sheboygan in growing
numbers.
The Bachelors Degree in Criminal
Justice will fill a need that exists in the
community for our working adults in sev-
eral careers that come under the umbrella
of corrections, probation, parole, and law
enforcement, Hardersen said. Helping
the workers gain additional professional
skills in these areas is a plus for them and
the communities that they serve.
An information session will be held on
May 19, 2009 at UW-Sheboygan campus
from 5-7:00 p.m. Pre-registration is not
required.
Individuals looking for more informa-
tion about the program or wishing to
apply to the degree program can contact
Sarah Smith at (800) INFO-UWO or
smiths@uwosh.edu.

On April 8, 2009 a Kohler resident
was alerted by the Family Watchdog
website that a convicted sex offender had
moved into a rental property on Orchard
Street in Kohler. Kohler Public schools
and the Kohler Police Department were
notified by concerned citizens who be-
came aware of the situation. An investi-
gation determined that the individual was
in compliance with Wisconsin state
statutes, but was in violation of alocal
safe zone residency restriction ordi-
nance that had been adopted by the Vil-
lage of Kohler in November, 2008. The
ordinance states that No convicted sex-
ual offender can reside within 1500 feet
of any school, daycare, park, trail, play-
ground, place of worship or any other
place designated as a place where chil-
dren are known to congregate. The in-
dividual was taken into custody by
Kohler police within one hour of receiv-
ing an anonymous call. A $600 citation
was issued and the individual was told he
would receive a citation for every day he
remained on the property. The home was
vacated the following morning and mon-
itored by police for a day or two after-
ward to make sure the individual did not
reoccupy the residence. Kohler school
staff members and parents of students
were notified of the incident via the
schools group email notification system.
A number of Kohler residents ques-
tioned why the police department,
school, and landlord were all unaware
that a convicted sex offender had moved
into the Village and was violating the res-
idency ordinance. Kohler Police Chief
Bill Rutten said the department was not
notified by the Wisconsin Department of
Corrections because the offender who
was charged with second degree sexual
assault of a child in 2001 had satisfied
his sentencing requirements and was no
longer on probation and/or parole super-
vision. (The sentence issued was twelve
months jail time and seven years proba-
tion). Chief Rutten said it is the respon-
sibility of convicted sexual offenders to
check local ordinances before moving
into a neighborhood. The individual who
rented the Orchard Street property
(which is managed by a holding com-
pany in California) reportedly had
checked the Village of Kohler website for
local codes, but the ordinance that was
adopted in November, 2008 wont appear
on the Village website until around No-
vember, 2009. Thats because Lexis-
Nexis the online municipal code library
utilized by the Village updates its ordi-
nance databases once a year. Rutten said
sexual offenders should call the local po-
lice department to make sure they are in
compliance with the most recent ordi-
nances. The chief commended Kohler
citizens for exemplifying the effective-
ness of neighborhood watch practices,
and said the Kohler Police Department
has now enrolled in the Family Watch-
dogs automatic email notification sys-
tem.
In 1997, the State of Wisconsin en-
acted the Sex Offender Registration and
Community Notification Law. This law
was created to monitor and track people
convicted of sex crimes and to provide
access to this information for police, vic-
tims, and the general public. Access to
this information, however, required visits
to the website on a regular basis. In No-
Three campuses collaborate to offer
Bachelor degree in Criminal Justice
Vigilant Kohler citizens aid
police in enforcing new sexual
offender ordinance
vember, 2008 Governor Jim Doyle an-
nounced that the State of Wisconsin Sex
Offender Registry website would partner
with Family Watchdog, a non-profit, na-
tionwide provider of information on regis-
tered sex offenders. The collaboration
enables the state to offer enrollees a map-
ping feature as well as the email notifica-
tion system. The Wisconsin Department of
Corrections/Family Watchdog website,
available at wisconsindoc.familywatch-
dog.us, maps the location of sex offenders
within a specified distance from homes or
other locations. Wisconsin users enrolled
in the automatic email notification system
receive a notice when the registry is up-
dated with new information about a sex of-
fenders move to a particular
neighborhood. As part of the agreement,
Family Watchdog receives Wisconsins
registry data daily, so mapping and email
notification information are as current as
the Sex Offender Registry website.
The incident in Kohler was unusual in
that the offender had completed his sen-
tence without reoffending, a local ordi-
nance was too new to appear in online
ordinance databases, the manager of the
rental property is located out-of-state, and
it was only a little over a year ago that the
automated notification system was of-
fered through the Wisconsin Department
of Corrections. A situation that couldve
slipped through the cracks for years was
quickly resolved thanks to vigilant citi-
zens, a responsive police department and
school, and the foresight by Village offi-
cials to adopt an ordinance that adds an
extra layer of protection for Kohler chil-
dren.

Spring play is
too sick!
For the first time in many years, fans of
Kohler High plays and musicals enjoyed
two productions. Students staged the 16th
century Moliere comedy, The Imaginary
Invalid in April for enthusiastic audiences
in early April. Twenty-one students partici-
pated in an intimate staging, played in a
black box setting, where the audience sat
on the stage. I think the audience enjoyed
being up close to the actors, said director
Peggy Hoffmann. And I think it gave the
cast an unusual energy. There were a lot of
new and suprising performances each night,
with many actors responding to the audience
with bits of improv and physical humor.
The play was sponsored in part by the
Kohler Drama Club. Students sell conces-
sions at the Distinguished Guests Series and
at the fall muscials to raise money for drama
activities. Plans are already underway for
next fall's production. For students inter-
ested in getting involved in theatre at KHS,
they can contact Peggy Hoffmann through
the high school office.
The cast and crew of THE IMAGINARY INVALID included (floor, l to r) Angela Fiorini, Holly Zehfus, Brenna Hogan,

Literacy Council Needs Volunteer
Tutors
The Literacy Council Project of the Fam-
ily Resource Center is seeking volunteers in
Sheboygan County to tutor adults in basic
literacy and English as a Second Language.
Basic literacy and English language
skills are crucial skills for people who need
communication survival skills to gain em-
ployment, enroll in school, or generally suc-
ceed in their adopted community, says Jo
Ann Dent, Coordinator of the Literacy
Council Project.
Dent says common misconceptions about
tutor qualifications often deter potential vol-
unteers. If you have a high school diploma
and a desire to help others, youre qualified
to be a literacy tutor, says Dent. What we
need most from our volunteers is their time
and commitment to the training and tutoring
process. Generally, the time commitment is
eight hours of training and a 6-month to 1-
year tutoring appointment.
The Literacy Council will provide a train-
ing session for new tutors on May 20 and
May 26, from 5:30-9:30 each evening. The
training sessions will provide new tutors
with the resources and information they
need to get started tutoring an adult learner.
The Literacy Council Project of the Fam-
ily Resource Center is a volunteer-based
program that provides free, one-on-one lit-
eracy tutoring in Sheboygan County for
adults 18 years old or older. Tutoring is tai-
lored to each learners personal and educa-
tional goals and learning style. For more
information about volunteer opportunities or
to register for the May training, please call
920-457-1888 or visit www.frc-sc.org .

United States Tennis Association (USTA)
Serving up Tennis Block Parties Across
the U.S.
Hey Sheboygan County, are you ready to
cause a racquet? The biggest tennis party
ever is coming to your neighborhood!
Throughout the month of May the USTA
is serving up an ambitious and exciting com-
munity initiative with a series of Tennis
Block Parties in markets nationwide. The
Tennis Block Parties will bring new ways to
involve and expose new and existing players
to the unparalleled health and social benefits
of tennis.
The Sheboygan County Tennis Associa-
tion (SCTA) Block Party will be held on
May 3rd at the Kohler Youth Center and
Tennis Courts, from noon 3 pm and is free
and open to the public.
Registration for two SCTA-sponsored
summer youth tennis programs will take
place during the Tennis Block Party. These
programs are a collaborative effort between
the SCTA and The Sheboygan and Kohler
Recreation Departments, The Sports Core
and the YMCA.
Midwest Youth Team Tennis is a new
team-based program being offered this year
for ages 6-10. The program is based on the
QuickStart play format for learning tennis,
designed to bring kids into the game by uti-
lizing specialized equipment, shorter court
dimensions and modified scoring, all tai-
lored to age and size. It is divided into two
different levels; ages 8 and under and ages
10 and under. It's the fast, fun way to get kids
into tennis and keep them playing.
Junior Team Tennis is again being offered
for kids ages 11-18, with various age-and-
ability level leagues being formed. You may
sign up as an individual, with a friend or as
a team. This program was expanded last year
with much success.
Representatives from the United States
Tennis Association (USTA) will be on hand
to answer questions and establish or renew
USTA memberships. Also, information on
other summer tennis programs being offered
by the Sheboygan and Kohler Recreation
Departments and the Sports Core will be
available.
The SCTA Tennis Block Party will fea-
ture on-court games, drills and demos, offer-
ing people of all ages and abilities the
opportunity to learn and enjoy the benefits
of the game from fun and competition to
lifestyle and fitness. Skilled teaching profes-
sionals and other tennis enthusiasts will
guide attendees through games and skills
during this session of fun and learning.
In the event of rain, adapted games and
drills will be held in the Village Gym. For
more information, please visit
SCTAonline.tripod.com or contact Wendy
Tauscheck at (920) 467-3770 or Darren Opel

ment in conjunction with the Village of Kohler
Recreation Department is again sponsoring the
Bike Safety Day on Saturday June 6
th
at 12:30
pm. The event is being held at the Village Hall.
Licenses are required and are available for $2.50
for any bikes with wheels larger than 16. Anyone
that needs a license can download the bike license
form from www.kohlerpolice.com and have it
filled out before you arrive. There will be forms
available the day of, but it would make that por-
tion go more quickly. All participants will receive
an inspection of their bike, a free helmet and a
bike accessory. We will also be supplying free
soda and chips after the days events. Last year
we had a good turn out with great weather. We
hope to see you again this year.
Fox Sightings: If you havent seen the foxes yet,
you probably will. The Village has become home
to several fox, and has caused more than a few
phone calls to the police department. The sighting
of a fox is not totally a bad thing, as they remove
a number of rodents and excess rabbits and squir-
rels. The sighting of fox also indicates that there
wont be as many coyotes in the area, which can
pose more of a threat to small dogs, etc. Coyotes
and fox do not coexist very well together. Dale
Katsma from the local DNR office indicated that
fox can be removed if they become a nuisance by
the land owner. The land owner wanting to do that
would need to observe local ordinances, such as
the inability to use a firearm and also state DNR
statutes. Katsma indicated that the vast majority
of fox dont carry rabies and dont do harm to the
human population. He stated that they actually be-
come very comfortable with humans around and
can be enjoyed from a wildlife sighting perspec-
tive. A wildlife fact sheet is available from the
Kohler PD. Also, a website link to more informa-
tion about foxes is on www.kohlerpolice.com.
Are you prepared for an Emergency? Another
aspect of emergency planning for a community is
trying to get the message out that each family has
a plan if an emergency affects their home. Are
you prepared for a short power outage, or loss of
water pressure? Does your sump pump have bat-
tery backup if you lose power for several hours?
Do you have a kit at home to provide food and
water for three days in the event of a major disas-
ter? The nation seems to be getting hit with natu-
ral disasters all the time, assistance for large areas
may take time to have power grids restored or
water systems repaired. For more information on
how to prepare yourself or your home, go to
www.kohlerpolice.com and click on our link to
the Emergency Preparedness site.

Ebben Field Master Plan Steering Committee Members
The Kohler Public
Schools is pleased to an-
nounce that, as a result of
generous donations from
the Frank G. and Frieda K.
Brotz Family Foundation,
and the Kohler School
Foundation, construction
will begin immediately on
a state-of-the-art Distance
Learning Center.
For decades, the tradi-
tional classroom has relied
primarily on interaction
with the instructor. In an
interactive distance learn-
ing system, this is essentially still true. The
difference is mainly that a video and audio
system is added to an already functional
classroom to extend the instructors ability
to reach students and receive their re-
sponses at remote locations. This student-
instructor interaction is what separates
distance learning from online student-com-
puter education.
Distance learning brings many benefits
to students, instructors, schools and local
citizens. It is a powerful, modern way to ex-
tend the talents of capable instructors to a
wider audience and to give students a
broader, richer educational experience.
Many smaller/rural school systems rely on
distance learning centers to provide multi-
variate programming and course options;
where class size constraints limit traditional
teacher-led classroom options. For exam-
ple, we will now have the opportunity to
offer single section language courses, such
as Chinese, to interested students without
having to physically bring an instructor into
the building.
The curricular opportunities presented
by a Distance Learning Center are exciting
and inescapable. Beyond the variety of new
course offerings that would spark student
interest and imagination, possibilities exist
for Pre K-12 students to interact on a per-
sonal level with space shuttle astronauts at
the Johnson Space Center in Houston,
coral reef specialists at the Australian Na-
tional University, zoo keepers at the
Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research
Centre in the Sichuan province, as well as
preeminent novelists, historians and re-
searchers. The curricular possibilities are
endless. The establishment of a state-of-
the-art Distance Learning Center will
clearly place the Kohler Public Schools at
the forefront of Twenty-First Century
global learning.
We, again, thank our benefactors for
their ongoing commitment to improving
the academic experiences of Kohler Public
Schools students.

School Board approves
administrative
reorganization plan
At the regularly scheduled March 2009,
Board meeting, the Kohler Public Schools
Board of Education voted 5-0 to approve
the administrative reorganization plan
presented by the districts superintendent,
Dr. Robert Kobylski. The Board believes
this plan contains two key attributes that
will allow for positive change within our
schools; satisfying our need for increased
levels of instructional leadership, as well
as our desire to identify methods for re-
ducing district expenditures in uncertain
financial times.
During the 2008 search for a new su-
perintendent, the Board of Education ar-
ticulated the need to attract, and
subsequently hire, a candidate that exhib-
ited strong educational leadership attrib-
utes. This need was based on the
leadership profile that was developed,
with substantial community input, during
the candidate search process. Preference
was then given to candidates that had
demonstrated success as a curriculum
practitioner and scholastic visionary. Ide-
ally, the new superintendent would con-
tinually engage the community, staff and
students in progressive initiatives that
were designed to increase the level of ac-
ademic achievement JK-12.
Currently, the superintendents office
must manage both high and low intensity
district finances, as well as long term fa-
cilities issues and ongoing daily opera-
tions. It is currently estimated that, as
presently configured, the superintendents
office is occupied with operational mat-
ters in excess of eighty percent of work-
day time. Consequently, expectations for
a superintendent as a high profile educa-
tional leader are not at all congruent with
the operational structures that currently
define the daily tasks and/or activities that
have, over time, become direct responsi-
bilities associated with the superinten-
dents office.
In an effort to align overall expecta-
tions with systems reality, it was recom-
mended that the current operational
activities characterized by a high task/low
intensity orientation be delegated to part-
time administrative personnel other than
the superintendent. As the superinten-
dent, Dr. Kobylski will still act as the pri-
mary resource for financial matters
associated with budgeting, revenue limits
and tax levy certification. In addition,
given the budgetary constraints that are
now being presented, it would be appro-
priate, and beneficial, to consolidate the
duties associated with the High School
principalship with those of the superin-
tendents office. Given the high degree of
secondary school experience and expert-
ise of Dr. Kobylski, this new administra-
tive model will serve to nurture creative
high school curricular opportunities, alle-
viate ineffective systemic structures; and
also allow for modest budgetary relief.
It is anticipated that the new adminis-
trative structure, with Dr. Kobylski serv-
ing as both superintendent and High
School principal, will save the district, on
an annual basis, approximately $70,000.00
in salary and benefit costs over the 2007-
2008 base-line administrative compensa-
tion model. To allow for Dr. Kobylski, as
High School principal, to continue pro-
viding meaningful structured time to
High School students, parents, issues and
activities, the Board approved the addi-
tional recommendation that the elemen-
tary principal assume the duties associated
with the Middle School principalship. The
skill sets and team oriented attributes of
Susan Jaberg will allow for the effective
growth and refinement of our evolving
Middle School model. In the end, we be-
lieve that this new administrative model
will allow us to enhance student learning
outcomes, while reducing ongoing admin-
istrative expenditures by over 15%.
As a Board of Education, we are con-
vinced that the reconfigured administra-
tive team will expedite the opportunities
for increased levels of academic, social
and emotional growth of our students.
We look forward to community participa-
tion at the transition planning meetings
that will be held after Spring Break. As we
step deeper into the Twenty-First Cen-
tury, now, more than ever, this is an excit-
ing time to be a member of the Kohler
Public Schools learning community. As al-
ways, please do not hesitate to contact me
directly on this, or any other matter, at
bishopj@kohler.k12.wi.us.

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 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)
WTMJ - Channel 4, WFRV - Channel 5, WISN - Channel 12, NBC 26 - Channel 26, WLUK -Channel 11, WITI -

GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations
to Benefit the Environment) is when students
collect environmental data and interact with the
scientific community. Kids around the world
collect and enter data like the Kohler GLOBE
members do. GLOBE supports students, teach-
ers, and scientists as they investigate the Earth
system while working with NASA (National
Air and Space Administration), NOAA (Na-
tional Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-
tion), and the U.S. Department of State. It is
the first and only international environmental
monitoring program that involves students
around the world.
Who participates in GLOBE? Students in
over 109 countries participate in the GLOBE
Program. There are more than 36000 GLOBE-
trained teachers representing 19000 schools
around the world. Students enter about 16 mil-
lion measurements to the GLOBE database for
use in their science projects and for scientists
use. GLOBE brings together students, teach-
ers, and scientists through learning and re-
search.
The teams of College prep Biology students
collect atmospheric data daily while the juniors
and seniors in College Prep.Chemistry, Ad-
vanced Honors Biology, and Physics, collect
hydrology data during the fall and spring.
Some of the atmospheric protocols include;
cloud type, water vapor, relative humidity, pre-
cipitation measurement and pH, current, max-
imum, and minimum temperature, and more.
Each week we enter the data into the interna-
tional GLOBE web-site data base.
The atmospheric data that is collected by
participants in the GLOBE Program is used by
scientists to help them in their research. It is
important because we need to know what is
going on in our atmosphere so that we can pre-
dict the weather and learn more about our
Earth. When we know more about our atmos-
phere and how it changes throughout time, we
can find ways to protect, monitor, and under-
stand our atmosphere.
Students involved in the GLOBE Program
this year are: Ilirian Ameti, Maren Bogard,
Denisa Boy, Levi Boy, Dan Chen, Sarah
Chung, Hunter Clark, Kaitlin Esche, Christian
Ertel, Hannah Fenton, Carissa Gartman, Carlo
Gischia, Kira Gutschow, Danielle Hart, Lauren

College Prep Biology students at
Kohler High School have recently com-
pleted the biotechnology component of
the biology curriculum. Biotechnology is
the technology of using living things to
create useful products. Biotechnology has
historically been used in the making of
bread, wine, soap, the treatment of waste,
and the production of cheese. Selective
breeding of agricultural animals and se-
lective practices in crop planting have oc-
curred for hundreds of years.
Biotechnology has changed due to the ad-
vancements of technologies such as com-
puters and software in the 1970s to
include the development of human in-
sulin for the treatment of diabetes, human
growth hormone for children, and identi-
fication of specific genes responsible for
genetic disorders, and in some cases treat-
ment for those disorders.
College Prep Biology students learn
and then use the steps necessary to move
a gene from one organism to another.
The process involves the isolation of
plasmid DNA, using endonuclease re-
striction enzymes to cut DNA at specific
sites in the DNA sequence, ligation of the
plasmid fragments, transformation of
bacteria, preparation and casting of
agarous gel, electrophoresis of restriction
enzyme digested DNA, staining, viewing,
and photographing the gel, and learning
the process by which scientists determine
DNA fragment size. Ask any College
Prep Biology student for more informa-
tion on this experiment. They will be
happy to share details of their successful
experience!
Caption: Students Jenna Peters, Carissa Gartman, Natalie Van Dyke, Alex Mauer, and Hannah Fenton
prepare DNA for electrophoresis.
The Testing the Waters Program is a science enrichment program that allows students to participate in a com-
munity service project and also encourages them to use some of their biology and chemistry skills.
The students listed participated in this years water testing program at Kohler High School.
These students were actively involved in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting biology and chemistry data re-
lated to the water quality of the Sheboygan River. The Kohler group is responsible for testing the river near
Black Wolf Run Golf Course. Some of the tests included dissolved oxygen,
pH, temperature, total phosphates, nitrates, turbidity, total solids, fecal col-
iform, and macroinvertebrates. The water test results were sent to the May-
wood Environmental Center, and also to the local Department of Natural
Resources. Other Sheboygan County schools tested different parts of the river
and the results were shared at a county forum. Students have the opportunity
to suggest explanations for their findings, and work together to explore possi-
ble action plans that might have a positive impact on the areas land conserva-
tion and the environment.
Ms. Krejcarek is the science teacher leading this group.

Testing the waters
Econ. Students
Visit Chicago
Submitted by Heather Reader-Schubert
Considering the current financial crisis that is upon
us, it is more important than ever to make sure our fu-
ture generations have a sound understanding of eco-
nomic principles. Economics is not just something we
read about in a textbook, but rather it is something that
affects us all, no matter what our current situation.
And what better way to learn about economics than to
see its applications first-hand. On April 8th, 11th and
12th grade Economics and Consumer Economics stu-
dents attended a field trip to Chicago. Students visited
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, viewed the two
trading floors at the Chicago Board of Trade, and ex-
perienced the Sears Tower Skydeck, the tallest
building in North America (which, if you havent al-
ready heard, will be assuming the name Willis
Tower, after a London holding company of the same
name--a testament to the ever-increasing level of glob-
alization.)
In addition to the tours, students experienced rail
transportation (Amtrak) from Milwaukee to Chicago
(and back, obviously), had the opportunity to view
downtown architecture, and were able to check out the
Great Hall in Union Station. (Any Untouchables
fans out there?) Oh, and we cant forget the Chicago-
style pizza.
Our trip was even further enhanced by Dr. Kobyl-
skis participation. Not only did he travel with us to
Chicago, he also shared his experiences as a former
floor trader at the Chicago Board of Trade with the
Consumer Econ. and Econ. classes prior to the trip.
Overall, everyone had a great time and we all
learned something new.

Counselors Corner
In kindergarten through fifth grade guidance lessons the students are finishing the Lions-Quest unit Growing Up Drug-Free which fo-
cuses on health and safety. The sixth grade is working on an extensive unit on making healthy choices that also focuses on sub-
stance use and abuse learning resistance skills. Full course summaries for each grade level are available on-line under curriculum on
the school website. Parents, please make a point of taking to your child(ren) about what they are learning in guidance. They need to
hear from you about your familys stance on peer pressure, alcohol and drug issues. If you have any questions or concerns regarding
our school counseling curriculum please feel free give me a call or stop by to examine our curriculum.
Thank you to all the parents of eighth graders and sixth graders who attended the Individual Planning Conferences in March and April
we had great parent attendance. I loved having the opportunity to talk with students and parents regarding the transitions to high
school and middle school. These meetings are a great way to improve communication among parents, students and the school as
well as have the students share the career preparation work they have been doing via WisCareers and the 6
th
Grade Learner Re-
sume.
As always, parents feel free to make an appointment to meet with me or call (459-2921 ext. 1301) or send an e-mail
