Waste medication County to stop collecting hazardous drop-off site available for county residents wastes for 2009
The Sheboygan County Planning and Resources Department must stop collecting hazardous wastes from County residents for the rest of 2009. The halt in the collection of hazardous waste results from the loss of State funding and because of the extraordinary amount of hazardous wastes collected during May. There is a possibility that some State funding will be restored to Sheboygan County later this year. If that proves to be the case and there is sufficient funding for another collection event, there will be announcements to that effect. During the May Clean Sweep, homes, small businesses, and farms delivered 35,447 pounds of hazardous wastes including 1,789 pounds of aerosol cans, 5,553 pounds of pesticides, 18,789 pounds of oil and lead based paint, 1,800 pounds of fluorescent lights, and 3,753 pounds of electronic wastes. The annual Countywide collection of waste medications is slated for October 3 and this event will go on as scheduled. A permanent waste medication drop off box will also be located soon in the Sheboygan Police Department. A new permanent drop off box for the proper and safe disposal of waste medications has been located in the foyer of the City of Sheboygan Police Department at 1315 North 23rd Street. Citizens of Sheboygan and Sheboygan County will now have a convenient and readily accessible location to get rid of waste medications on an ongoing basis. Waste medications if improperly disposed of can cause environmental harm, cause accidental childhood poisoning, and be illegally taken by people with substance abuse problems. The illicit trade in stolen or misappropriated prescription medications is linked to crimes, injuries, and deaths in our communities. A partnership between the Sheboygan County Planning and Resources Department, the City of Sheboygan Police Department, and the Healthy Sheboygan County 2020 Committee has developed the drop-off program, one of the first in Wisconsin. A metal box similar to a mailbox has been mounted to the floor in the foyer of the police station. People with waste medications can simply drop them in the box, no questions asked. A video surveillance system monitors the location.
People are asked to keep medications in their original labeled containers to aid in identification of the collected medications. Names can be crossed off the label to maintain confidentiality. The new waste medication drop off box will supplement the annual Countywide collection of waste medications that will be held this year on October 3rd. Last year, more than 800 pounds of waste medications were collected during the annual collection. We do not know how many pounds of waste medications we will be collecting at the new permanent drop off location. Funding for the waste medication collection and disposal program has been provided by the Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors. If the new waste medications drop off location project in Sheboygan is successful, we may be placing drop off boxes for waste medications in other communities such as Plymouth and Random Lake. For more information, contact Jim Hulbert, Director, Sheboygan County Planning and Resources Department, at 920-459-3765.

Take a tour of Piccadilly Street for English Tea during August tea class
Sheboygan Falls, WI -- On Saturday, August 8 the Atrium Tea Room in Sheboygan Falls will host their monthly tea class titled Piccadilly Tea. This class will combine education about English teas with a tourist perspective of famous stops on Piccadilly Street. The class will begin at 11:30 a.m. and run through 1:00 p.m. The English enjoy both High Tea and Afternoon Tea. High Tea is almost a fourth meal, occuring after the work day, and includes tea and sandwiches. Afternoon Tea, a light snack accompanied by fresh brewed tea, takes place earlier in the afternoon and is more about elegance. In keeping with the tradition of an English tea, there will be a presentation of food that pairs with each of the teas to be sampled. Traditionally, this comes in courses and consists of: first course, savories of finger sandwiches or appetizers; second course, breads including scones; and third course, dessert of delicate pastries like eclairs, small thumbprint cookies, and shortbreads. Piccadilly is one of the most fashionable areas of London and home to a number of well known tea rooms and historic hotels that have tea service. Tradition, elegance, style, luxury, and relaxation are all synonymous with the English tradition of tea. Class attendees are encouraged to continue that stylish tradition and get dressed up for the class. Attendees of prior classes have enjoyed this option to enhance the experience. The Piccadilly Tea class will be conducted by tea artisans Martha Vande Leest and Kathryn Schwark and will include samplings of teas and three cuisine courses. Recipes and handouts are included. Cost is $25 and prepayment is preferred; however, a spot can be reserved by providing a credit card number. The class is limited to twelve participants. Class attendees receive a discount on merchandise throughout the store on August 8. Anyone who attends five tea classes will receive a free teapot. The Piccadilly Tea class will be held on August 8 at the Atrium Tea Room, located in Richardsons Furniture Emporium at 202 Pine Street in Sheboygan Falls. For more information or to register, call 467-6659 or e-mail kschwark@richardsoninds.com.

Senior citizen volunteers sought for Seniors and Law Enforcement Together program
Submitted by Joan Scheppmann This letter is to familiarize you with Sheboygan County TRIAD. It is not a request for money. TRIADis a service organization comprised of senior citizens, Sheriffs Department deputies and the sheriff, and police officers. Some of the more popular service programs sponsored by TRIAD are the Courthouse Greeters program, the Senior Winterization program, and the File of Life program. TRIAD is also active at the Sheboygan County Fair, and has give out hundreds of refrigerator magnets. The problem is not things to do, but rather people to do them. We are looking for seniors interested in being a volunteer for this worthwhile organization. While the Sheboygan County TRIAD has been operating since 1996, many seniors have never heard of TRIAD. The Sheboygan County TRIAD meets once a month in different communities to discuss ongoing programs, and to plan new ones. There are no dues or membership fees, and all you need to join is a willingness to be a volunteer for community service. If you would like to know more about this worthwhile organization, call any police agency in the county or the Sheboygan County Sheriffs Department, and you will be directed to the agency TRIADofficer.

FROM CLERK/TREASURER LAURIE LI DOW Board of Review The Village of Kohler Board of Review will be meeting on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, starting at 5:00 pm. Property owners that want to appear before the Board of Review to appeal their assessment can contact the Clerk-Treasurers office at 920-4593873 for forms and to schedule an appointment. To appear before the Board you must provide the Clerk-Treasurer with written or oral notice of your intent to file an objection by 4:00 pm, Friday, July 31. Also, a written and signed Form of Objection to Property Assessment must be filled out and filed with the clerk within the first 2 hours of the Boards first scheduled meeting. FROM POLICE CHIEF BILL RUTTE Sexual Offender Ordinances: The Village recently enacted new ordinances that restrict certain convicted sex offenders within the Village of Kohler. The Village has set a limit on residing in the Village within 1500 feet of a park, school, or church. In addition, sexual offenders cannot loiter within 500 feet of those same locations. The Kohler Police Department has a link on our website to a pdf file that shows those designated areas. In addition, the Kohler Police Department has registered on the website (http://www.familywatchdog.us/) connected to the State of Wisconsins site that will notify us in the event a sexual offender moves into the area. If you have questions or concerns, please call. Stop Sign Violations: The definition of a stop by state statutes is a complete cessation from movement. This allows for the driver to properly check for other traffic and pedestrians. The Kohler Police Dept. has been stepping up enforcement of stop signs as a way to educate the public that slowing down at stops signs is not stopping. The vast majority of the stops have been for warnings, but some citations have been issued, depending on the circumstances. Also, most of the stops are by people that live nearby. If you have not been stopped by an officer, you are probably stopping properly. The stop signs can be a pain, but they are there for our safety. Parking Complaints: Occasionally the Kohler Police Department will receive complaints about parking problems throughout the Village. Typically neighbors dont want to complain directly to their fellow neighbor, but call our department with questions or to start a complaint. Parking is restricted near the Kohler Co. to one-hour and two-hour parking. The only exception is for residents of the Village of Kohler. All others must abide by the restriction. The rest of the Village has a restriction of 72 hour parking. No vehicle may be parked in one location for longer than 72 hours without being moved. Also, RVs, campers, boats, and trailers can only be parked on the street for up to 24 hours. In addition, vehicles need to be 4 feet from a driveway, 10 feet from a fire hydrant, and 15 feet from a marked crosswalk. Please be aware of the parking restrictions. FROM PUBLIC WORKS SUPERI TE DE T BRUCE EERHOF OXIOUS WEEDS/GRASS LE GTH: According to Village Ordinance 8.24, it is the duty of every homeowner to destroy all noxious weeds on their property before they go to seed. Examples of noxious weeds are Canadian thistle, English charlock, wild mustard, creeping jenny, goatsbeard and cotton-bearing trees. Also, grass that exceeds nine inches in height is in violation of this ordinance. The Village gives five days notice to the homeowner to mow their grass. Otherwise, the Village will do it at the expense of the homeowner. HOLIDAY GARBAGE PICK-UP When a holiday falls on a Monday all garbage pick-ups will be one day later than scheduled. For example, Labor Day falls on Monday, Sept. 7; therefore garbage pick-up for that week will be on Wednesday, Sept. 9th. RECYCLI G As a reminder, all plastics, glass, aluminum and tin cans should be mixed together and placed in your blue recycling bin. Newspapers and magazines should be placed in a brown paper bag or bundled and tied together. Cardboard should be flattened and cut into 3 x 3 pieces.
