The Kohler Villager makes its debut!
by Mary Struck, Publisher/Editor
Welcome to the inaugural issue of The
Kohler Villager! Where is the Kohler
Times, you ask? Its in the center of this
publication as a 4-page insert containing
critical school-related information only.
This new format allows families of Kohler
Schools students to remove and keep
handy important school-related
announcements and information. Non-criti-
cal school-related articles and photos can be
found throughout The Kohler Villager.
I hope you find this first issue of The
Kohler Villager informative and interesting.
I hope to see it evolve as residents, readers
and the business community offer input and
submissions for future issues. Feedback is
always welcome!
Thank you to those who have expressed
positive support in anticipation of this first
publication, and a special thank you to all
businesses advertising in this August issue!
If you missed the July issue of the
Kohler Times school newsletter detailing
the changes, the following is a partial recap
of some of the important information:
Is The Kohler Villager an extension of the
Kohler Times?
No. The Kohler Villager is independent-
ly published by Terra Media, L.L.C. of
Kohler. To avoid confusion and redundan-
cy, the school district has agreed to allow
the Kohler Times to be included inside The
Kohler Villager as an insert. This arrange-
ment will also allow the Kohler Times
school newsletter to be delivered via first
class postage rate rather than third class
rate, which should alleviate the problem of
open enrollment families receiving their
Kohler Times two weeks late, or not at all.
Will There Be A Subscription Price For
The Kohler Villager?
No. As an advertiser supported paper,
The Kohler Villager will continue to be
delivered to all residents and open enroll-
ment families free of charge. The paper will
now also be delivered to all Kohler busi-
nesses. Non-residents without children in
Kohler Schools will receive the August
issue free of charge with an option to con-
tinue receiving The Kohler Villager for a $6
yearly postage and handling fee. See the
order form on page 9. (Advertisers located
outside of Kohler receive a complementary
issue for each month their ad is run). Each
issue will also be available online for view-
ing at www.kohlervillager.com
Will The Kohler Villager have an editori-
al page or accept letters to the editor?
The Kohler Villager will not have an
editorial page or print letters to the editor.
However, anyone wishing to advertise spe-
cial messages such as thank yous, con-
gratulatory messages, or memorials may
purchase ad space.
Will The Kohler Villager accept articles,
photos and press releases?
Residents are encouraged to submit

The Kohler Schools Administration and the
Board of Education were given less than a
one-half of one percent increase in revenue for
the 2005-06 school year due to revenue caps.
Unlike other districts that cut across the
budget and affect everything, the Board's
Finance Committee and Administration set a
priority of not cutting staff who directly affect
student learning or programming. The first
step was to not fill the retiring Building and
Grounds Supervisor position and instead
reassign those duties. The second step was to
reallocate some of the School Psychologist
administrative and guidance functions to help
streamline that position to allow for school
psychologist work that will be purchased on a
shared service agreement with Plymouth
Schools. Step three was to then restructure the
administrative duties of 3.6 administrators and
one supervisor to 3 administrators.
Revenue caps force Kohler Schools to
restructure its administration
The result is a restructuring plan for
administration that will place the following
duties on the following administrators:
Mr. Jeff Dickert - District Administrator,
B&G Supervisor, Federal and State
Grants Administrator, Community
Programming Administrator, Special
Education Designee.
Mr. Lance Northey - Grades 7-12
Principal, with direct supervision of
grades 7-12 staff, curriculum, special
education, at-risk, and gifted and
talented.
Mrs. Susan Jaberg - Grades JK-6 Dean
of Students, with direct supervision of
grades JK-6 staff, curriculum, special
education, at-risk, and gifted and
talented.
This streamlining will be evaluated at the
midway point of the 2005-06 school year for
efficiency and effectiveness. The restructuring
saved the District approximately $80,000 of
budgetary expenses. Other cuts to the budget:
Paid supervision of staff at activities and
sporting events cut and assigned to
administration.
Copying and paper usage cut 20%.
Classroom supply budgets cut 10%.
Elimination of 50% Library Aide position,
which will be replaced by parent or
community volunteers. Employee trans-
ferred to another aide position where
another employee is leaving the district,
thus no layoff.
Cut $7,500 from Natural Gas allowance.

District
Overview of the
Wisconsin state
revenue limits
The state began imposing a
revenue limit on school districts in
the 1993-94 school year. The
revenue cap is calculated each
year for each school district by
applying a formula that is driven
by three factors: the districts per
pupil revenue base, the change
in school enrollment, and an
inflation factor (i.e., a maximum
allowable increase in revenue per
pupil).

[The following article was compiled by Kevin
Struck, University of Wisconsin-Extension,
and is based on information from the
Wisconsin Department of Revenue and the
Project Plan for the Creation of Tax
Incremental District No. 3 in the Village of
Kohler, Wisconsin, prepared by Ehlers &
Associates, Inc.]
What is TIF?
The Tax Incremental Finance Law (TIF) was
approved by the Wisconsin Legislature in
1975 as a financial tool cities and villages
could use to promote tax base expansion. It is
targeted toward eliminating blighted areas,
rehabilitating areas declining in value, and
promoting industrial and mixed use develop-
ment. Since the public improvement costs
needed to develop or redevelop an area are
sometimes too prohibitive for a municipality
and/or developer to cover alone, bonds are
issued to finance the development costs (e.g.,
sewers, utilities, streets). The resulting proper-
ty taxes generated by the new development are
temporarily earmarked for paying off the
bonds.
How does TIF work?
When a Tax Increment District (TID) is creat-
ed for new development, the municipality and
other taxing entities, such as the school district
and the county, agree to pay for their day-to-
day expenses from the tax base existing with-
in the district prior to the TID, since no addi-
tional tax revenues from the TID will be
shared with the municipality or the school dis-
trict until the TID is retiredtypically in 15
to 20 years. In the meantime, taxes paid by
property owners within the TID go toward
paying off the costs that were incurred due to
the development.
Why would municipalities and school dis-
tricts agree to delay receiving tax revenues
from a new development? Each entity shares
a common hope that TIF expenditures will
promote future property tax growth that
would not otherwise have occurred without
the TID and its mechanism for helping to
finance development.
The proposed TID No. 3 in Kohler
Tax Incremental District No. 3 is being pro-
posed by the Village of Kohler under the
authority provided by Wisconsin Statute
Section 66.1105. The developer is expected to
be the Kohler Company. The District is being
created as a Mixed Use District, with a
combination of residential and industrial
development. Some of the anticipated public
improvements include new residential streets
west of Woodland Road, a pedestrian bridge
across Greenfield Drive, the northside sani-
tary sewer expansion, water mains, utilities, a
storm sewer system, and park facilities.
Kohler Company has indicated the potential
for purchasing the entire amount of bonds
necessary to finance the projected improve-
ments. As part of the terms of the bonds pur-
chased by the Kohler Company, the pay-
ment of bonds would be limited to the tax
increment revenues to be generated within
the TID. As such, these bonds would not be
general obligations of the Village, as is com-
monly the case in most other TIDs through-
out Wisconsin. In addition, the costs of
financing, issuance expenses, and capital-
ization of interest may be reduced or limited
based upon further negotiations between the
Village of Kohler and Kohler Company.
Based on the preliminary designs and proj-
ect costs, Ehlers & Associates, Inc., the con-
sultant retained by the Village to assist with
the TID, estimates that projected tax rev-
enues from the development during the life
of the TID will be sufficient to retire the
debt proposed to finance all projects of the
District.
A total of 179 single-family residential lots
and 42 condominiums are ultimately antici-
pated to be added to the Village as a result of
TID No. 3. Based on 2000 U.S. Census data,
this will add approximately 577 new resi-
dents to the Village over the next 15 years or
so, including about 125 school age children.
Additional Village government and school
district expenditures may be necessary to
adequately serve these new residents.
Whether these expenditures will be offset by
the eventual increase in tax base has not yet
been analyzed.
Public involvement
As part of the TID review process, a special
Joint Review Board made up of representatives
from the Village of Kohler; Sheboygan County;
the Lakeshore Technical College Technical
College District; the Kohler School District;
and an at-large public member, will gather
August 4, 2005 at 7:00 P.M. to hold a commu-
nity informational meeting.
On August 18 at 7:00 P.M., most likely in the
Kohler Memorial Theater, the Village Plan
Commission will hold a public hearing on the
TID No. 3 Project Plan and boundaries, after
which it will consider approval of the TID.
Subsequent meetings by the Kohler Village
Board and the Joint Review Board will be
scheduled as necessary, and will be open to the
public. The entire Project Plan, including maps,
is available for review at the Village Hall.

The Kohler Police Department is currently staffed by
7 full-time, and 3 part-time law enforcement officers.
Each month, an officer will be featured in this section.
Chief William Rutten
William Rutten has been the Chief of the Kohler
Police Department since 2001. He was hired as the
Lieutenant in 1999. Anative of Menasha, Chief Rutten
had 11 years of experience with the West Bend Police
Department as a Patrol Officer, K-9 Handler, Field
Training Officer and Patrol Sergeant prior to his serv-
ice with the Village of Kohler.
In addition to being the Chief of Police, Chief
Rutten is also the Emergency Management Director for
the Village of Kohler.
After joining the Menasha Police Departments
Explorers Post in high school, Chief Rutten became
interested in the law enforcement profession because
he felt it was a good fit for his personality and career
goals. Explorers Post provides young people with the
opportunity to learn about the law enforcement profes-
sion, and one of the more memorable activities Chief
Rutten took part in six months before high school grad-
uation was a ride-along with officers.
Chief Rutten went on to attend the University of
Wisconsin Oshkosh, earning a bachelors degree in
Criminal Justice and Political Science, and a masters
degree in Public Administration.
Chief Rutten also recently graduated from the FBI
National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. This training
is for police executives who apply for the academy,
then are selected and sponsored by the FBI for
advanced administrative/leadership training.
Chief Rutten trained among 250 fellow law enforce-
ment professionals from 25 different nations and all but
two states in the United States. (Wisconsin only sends
16 applicants each year.)
Underwritten by the University of Virginia, the 10-
week long academy provided such classes as psycholo-
gy, crime scene forensics, news release preparation, and
media relations, including pointers on working with the
media and giving effective television interviews.
Physical fitness testing was also administered, including
a 1-1/2 mile qualification run and weekly challenge runs
working up to a 6 mile run which included a 3 mile
obstacle course.
Chief Rutten also has advanced training in the med-
ical field as a First Responder, and Emergency
Government training in response to critical incidents.
During his tenure as Chief of the Kohler Police
Department, the Kohler Police have focused on
Community Oriented Policing/Problem Solving
Policing. The department has implemented a motorcycle
patrol and an Explorer Post, and has expanded its role at
the local school with the School Resource Officer
Program. The Kohler Police Department works closely
with other area law enforcement, especially the
Sheboygan County Sheriffs Department, which pro-
vides dispatching services for most of Sheboygan
Countys law enforcement.
When asked what gives him the most job satisfac-
tion, Chief Rutten mentioned that Kohler residents are
more appreciative toward the service of law enforce-
ment officers. He also appreciates the service-oriented
attitude of Kohler residents.
Chief Rutten is a member of the Sheboygan County
Meg Unit oversight committee, Sheboygan County
Traffic Safety Commission, President of the Lakeshore
Technical College Police Science Advisory Committee,
and a member of the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police
Association.
In his spare time, Chief Rutten likes to spend time
with his family and serve on the Board of Directors for
the Kohler Police Athletic League (KPAL), which is a
Meet the officers of the Kohler
Police Department
non-profit organization focused on supporting the community of
Kohler through donations for scholarships and other student
needs.

Kohler Schools teacher one of six nominated
for presidential teaching awards
MADISON - July 21, 2005State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster congratulated six Wisconsin middle and high school
teachers for their exemplary work in the classroom as she forwarded their nominations to national competition for Presidential
Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.
The six were among those nominated last school year by principals, teachers, students, parents, or members of the communi-
ty. You represent the best of a cadre of outstanding mathematics
and science teachers, Burmaster said. This honor recognizes your
excellence in teaching and serves as an inspiration for the improve-
ment of mathematics and science teaching.
The Wisconsin mathematics nominees are Wanda Bussey,
Rufus King High School in Milwaukee; Margaret Hartwig,
Marshfield High School; and Michelle Parks of Altoona, Northstar
Middle School in Eau Claire. Science nominees are Nancy
AufderHeide of Oshkosh, Einstein Middle School in Appleton;
Dana Krejcarek of Fond du Lac, Kohler High School; and Sue
Whitsett of Oshkosh, Fond du Lac High School.
Each nominee for the presidential teaching awards program
submitted a videotaped lesson,
written responses to questions about their instructional practice,
sample student work, and a resume of
their background and experience. State-level finalists will be
judged by a national committee reporting to the National Science
Foundation, which will select one teacher of mathematics and one
of science to
receive the Presidential Awards. They will be among up to 108
presidential teaching award recipientsrepresenting the 50 states,
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Department of Defense schools,
and U.S. territoriesrecognized in Washington, D.C., next spring. In addition to the trip to the nations capital, each presiden-
tial teaching award recipient will receive $10,000, attend professional development sessions, and be honored in a variety of cer-
emonies over the course of the recognition week.
Wisconsins six secondary-level finalists will receive National Science Foundation State
Certificates for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics and Science at an awards program and reception this fall in Madison.
The presidential teaching awards are considered the nations highest honor for mathematics and science teachers, Burmaster
noted. As we strive to fulfill our New Wisconsin Promise to have quality educators in every classroom, these teachers exempli-
fy instructional excellence as they make meaningful contributions to their profession.
The Presidential Awards of Excellence for Mathematics and Science Teaching were established in 1983 to improve the image
and status of mathematics and science teaching. Only seventh- through 12thgrade teachers are recognized this year. Elementary
school teachers will be recognized in 2006.
Editors note: Dana Krejcarek was also the 2003 recipient of The Herb Kohl Educational Foundation 2003 Fellowship Award.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- July 21, 2005
Yesterday Senators McCain and Feingold
along with Congress-
men Shays and
Meehan sent a letter
to the President urg-
ing him to nominate
FEC Commissioners
who will strongly and
appropriately enforce
current campaign
finance laws. The fol-
lowing is a copy of
the letter.
Dear Mr. President:
Since the day you signed the Bipartisan
Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA) into
law, it has been under attack by critics and
skeptics who prefer the corrupt soft money
system we worked so hard to eliminate. Your
Department of Justice performed admirably in
defending the constitutionality of the law in
court, ultimately prevailing in the landmark
McConnell v. FEC decision. At the same time,
however, the Federal Election Commission
(FEC) has tried feverishly to dismantle the
new law through its rulemaking process.
Last week, a federal appeals court rebuked
the FEC and affirmed a lower court decision
that struck down a number of the FEC's post-
BCRA regulations. For the court's majority,
Judge David Tatal said, "If regulatory safe har-
bors permit what BCRA bans, we have no
doubt that savvy campaign operators will
exploit them to the hilt, reopening the very
soft money floodgates BCRA aimed to close.
Because the rules at issue in this appeal either
fall short of Congress's mandate or lack record
support showing otherwise, we affirm their
invalidation by the district court."
This decision once again highlights the
FEC's long-term defiance of the Bipartisan
Campaign Reform Act and the need for an
agency that will uphold our nation's campaign
Feingold and representatives send letter
to the president
President urged to nominate FEC Commisioners who will strongly enforce current
campaign finance laws
MADISON - July 20, 2005Yesterday, the
Joint Legislative Audit Committee
approved, in a 7-1
vote, a request by
State Senator Joe
Leibham (R-
Sheboygan) to audit
the Depart-ment of
Natural Resources'
(DNR) Fish and
Wildlife Account in
an effort to track the
use of hunting and
fishing license fees.
Senator Leibham
requested the audit on behalf of sportsmen
and women in the 9th Senate District who
are interested in better understanding how
the dollars that they invest in hunting and
fishing license fees are being used by the
DNR.
"Every year, thousands of sportsmen and
women across Wisconsin pay millions of
dollars to obtain hunting and fishing licens-
es," said Senator Leibham. "With Governor
Jim Doyle poised to sign another fee
increase into law as a part of the 2005-07
State Budget, Wisconsin's sporting commu-
nity has now been asked in two successive
biennia to make a greater investment in the
stewardship of our natural resources. This
has generated a great deal of question and
debate across the 9th Senate District and our
state as to how the funds are used."
Senator Leibham continued, "When a
hunting or fishing license is purchased there
is an understanding that the fees paid will be

finance laws. The capricious acts of the FEC,
now soundly rejected by an appellate court
decision as well as the Supreme Court in
McConnell, thwart the intentions of both you
and Congress.
Your 2004 campaign itself was harmed by
the FEC's unwillingness to enforce the law
when it failed to act on your campaign's peti-
tion, among others, to regulate 527 groups.
Your former campaign chairman, Mark
Racicot, and RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie
called the FEC decision to not rein in 527s
"irresponsible" and stated, "Thanks to the
deliberate inaction by the Federal Election
Commission, the battle of the 527's is likely to
escalate to a full scale, two-sided war."
Four of the six positions on the FEC are
now technically vacant, and nominations to
fill those seats can be made. This presents you
with an extraordinary opportunity to nominate
commissioners who are serious about their
duty to enforce campaign finance laws and
who will properly implement BCRA, whatev-
er their personal views on the law. One such
individual, Commissioner Scott Thomas, is
eligible for and deserves reappointment.
Our campaign rules are designed to pre-
vent corruption and promote fairness and
competition. As the original sponsors of
BCRA, we respectfully ask for your leader-
ship in appointing FEC commissioners who
will uphold the letter and spirit of our nation's
campaign finance laws.

used to protect Wisconsin's fish and wildlife
for future generations of sportsmen and
women and all outdoor enthusiasts.
However, many citizens who purchase these
licenses and permits have expressed concern
that the dollars they pay be spent on pro-
grams that directly benefit Wisconsin's
wildlife and not allocated to pay for admin-
istrative costs in another part of the DNR
budget."
The audit will likely focus on the following:
A review of DNR accounting procedures
used in regard to the receipt and alloca-
tion of hunting and fishing license fees;
Areview of the funds raised from the sale
of hunting and fishing licenses and the
extent in which the Department appropri-
ates these funds to fish and wildlife pro-
grams;
Areview of how the funds received from
the sale of hunting and fishing license
fees are used for other expenditures; and
An examination of how Wisconsin fares
against neighboring states in expending
percentage of funding for fish & wildlife
activities versus administrative costs.
This audit will provide valuable infor-
mation to the legislature for future budget
considerations and answers to the important
questions asked by citizens who hunt, fish
and enjoy Wisconsin's great outdoors.

Field Notes
By Dave Longmeyer - Superintendent Landscape
Construction
Lighting your way to a
better landscape
Looking for a way to add a new element to your
existing landscape? Consider adding landscape
lighting to both enhance your landscape and pro-
vide for the safety and convenience of your guests.
Landscape lighting can highlight specific features
of the landscape such as specimen trees and shrubs,
walkways and stairs, water features, or a special
sculpture piece. There are a wide range of lighting
fixtures designed specifically for use in the land-
scape that utilize low-voltage fixtures. Low volt-
age fixtures can typically be installed as a do-it-
yourself project, and do not require permits or the
services of a licensed electrician.
Balance and subtlety are two important aspects
of a well designed landscape lighting system. The
lighting should be understated, and should utilize
multiple low wattage fixtures vs. one or two very
bright fixtures. The goal of landscape lighting is to
establish a relationship between the house and the
landscape. The lighting should complement and
have the same feel as any existing light fixtures
attached to the exterior of the house.
Landscape lighting systems can be found at
most home improvement centers, along with light-
ing design guides that can help guide you through
the process of selecting the appropriate fixtures,
transformers, wiring, and controllers.
So if you're looking for a great way to add a lit-
tle more life to your yard, while also providing
added security for your home, consider adding a
landscape lighting system to your existing land-
scape.

Resources for homeowners
What would you do if you found a
large web with caterpillars in a tree, an
odd looking insect on a leaf, or your ash
tree dropping its leaves already? As a
homeowner in Wisconsin there are sever-
al good resources that can help you.
If you have an insect or disease prob-
lem that you want positively identified,
contact the Plant Disease Diagnostic
clinic in the Department of Plant
Pathology/Entomology at the University
of Wisconsin - Madison. Their address
is 1630 Linden Drive, Madison, WI
53706-1598. Their phone numbers are
608/262-2863 for the pathology lab and
608/262-6510 for the entomology lab.
You can ask them questions or send in
samples by Fed-Ex and they will exam-
ine them or incubate tissue samples to
grow the fungi so it can be identified.
There is a $15 charge but it is well worth
it.
Flower Power
Jody Pantel - Horticulturist
FLOWER POWER
The addition of tropical or exotic plants to
your garden can make a great impact and provide
bold textures and interesting foliage. They can be
incorporated into your planting beds or placed in
containers. Most tropicals are easy to grow and
can make your garden look like an island para-
dise! Some worthwhile considerations are:
Caladium x bicolor which provides multi-col-
ored leaves with variations of green, white, pink
and red and is great for the shade garden.
Ultimate height is 1-2'. See Caladium in front of
the Kohler Design Center.
Colocasia esculenta is grown for its huge
leaves that resemble elephant's ears. Elephant's
ears require frequent watering and can be used as
a water or waterside plant in full sun or light
shade. They can reach 3-6' in height. See
Colocasia in the blue pots at the Kohler Waters
Spa.
Canna x generalis (Canna Lily) is another
large leaved exotic that can provide a bold texture
in the sunny garden. Cannas can have solid green
foliage or colorful leaves with gold, bronze, red
and orange stripes. The flowers resemble gladio-
lus flowers and come in shades of red, orange,
yellow or pink. See Canna in the Butterfly
Garden across from Kohler Gardener.
Phormium tenax (New Zealand Flax) is an archi-
tectural foliage plant that forms a clump of long
sword-shaped leaves reaching 2-6' tall depending
on the cultivar. Colors vary from green to bronze
to deep maroon. Plant as a focal point in the sun
or light shade garden. See Phormium in Gazebo
Courtyard at The American Club.

Village of Kohler Historic Photos Series
Each months issue of The Kohler Villager
will feature a historic photo taken by Jacob
Kopf (and other Kohler Company photog-
raphers) as well as free-lance photographer
Arthur Schaaf. Photos taken after 1974 are
by Darryl Gumm.
A DVD featuring all the photos, accom-
panied by piano music by composer and
performer Vicky Emerson, can be pur-
chased at Wonderful World Coffee House
at 1020 Michigan Avenue in Sheboygan,
or online at - www.EssenceDVDs.com.
Riverside House
Our first photo is somewhat of a
mystery. The placard on the front reads
Riverside House above the name
W.M. Schumann. (The village was
called Riverside before its name was
changed to Kohler.) The second floor
obviously houses living quarters, but
no other details about the house could
be found in the Kohler Company
archives. A few of our local experts
around town have never heard of it
either, except Darryl Gumm, who
believes it housed a tavern and served
as a meeting place for girl scouts.
If anyone has information on
Riverside House, let me know and I
will print it in a future issue!

Where the Green Grass Grows
By Mark Roehrig - Landscape Maintenance Foreman
Growing grass in the shade
Growing grass in full shade can be
very challenging. There are several ways
to help encourage better growth in the
shady areas of your lawn. Trimming tree
limbs to let sunlight through the tree
canopy, adding mulch rings around trees,
making a planting bed out of the area
with shade tolerant shrubs and perenni-
als, or using a shade tolerant blend of
grass seed are all ways of promoting
healthy grass in shady areas. In areas that
have become completely bare, seed with
a blend of fescue grass seed or shade tol-
erant bluegrass. Once the new seed has
germinated and become established,
mow the grass one third higher than the
sunny areas of your lawn. This will leave
more leaf surface to absorb sunlight.
Most shade tolerant grass does not like a
lot of foot traffic. If the shady areas of
your lawn get extensive use, consider
adding a stepping stone path in place of
the grass. Another way to increase the
density of the lawn in the shady areas of
your yard is to make sure to remove any
leaves that fall from trees at the end of
the year. This will allow sunlight to con-
tinue to reach the grass plants and allow
energy to be stored for increased winter
survival.

Kohler Waters Spa Immersion Suites Envelop Guests in
Sybaritic Tranquility
A sophisticated yet earthy sensibility
reigns in the Kohler Waters Spa
TM
's new
Immersion Suites. Designed to enhance the
quality of the overall spa experience, these
personal havens of water, color, light and tex-
ture make an undeniable statement of tranquil-
ity while emphasizing the Kohler Waters Spa's
therapeutic water services.
"Design elements and finishes are all about
the 'experience' of the room," says Vonda
Myers, supervisor-interior design for Kohler
Co. "The open floor plan draws the bath out of
its traditional place in a typical guest room
and makes it a focal point. Natural materials
instill a sense of being at one with nature.
Color and light also contribute to the sense of
comfort, relaxation and openness."
Each of the ten Immersion Suites offers a
soothing palette and a deft mix of natural
shapes and textures. Bamboo-style flooring
and a natural sisal rug visually define the
sleeping and sitting area. Colors are harmonic
derivatives of nature; soft greens and other
natural hues with soft orange accents intro-
duced through accessories. Natural textures
are further reinterpreted in wall covering that
emulates natural grasses, crystal table lamps,
and a Calcutta marble bar.
An Eastern influence is introduced through
simple, yet extraordinary, furnishings from
artist Robert Kuo for McGuire Furniture.
Thoughtfully mixed, dark finished tables and
benches complement upholstered pieces and
provide a perfect balance to the suite's light
colors. Billowy fabric draping the four-poster
bed is gently buffeted in the breeze of a ceil-
ing fan, conjuring up a sense of the tropics.
Nothing is from one period or one place, but
there is something simpatico about all the ele-
ments.
Bluish grey limestone flows naturally
Averaging 560 square feet, each suite offers an in-room massage and treatment area and a KOHLER Tea-for-Two whirlpool for two with
chromatherapy and a shower with new WaterTiles centrally located within the room, plasma screen television, and sitting area.
across the floor and walls of the bathing por-
tion of the suite and creates a sumptuous deck
for the spacious two-person whirlpool bath.
The whirlpool area is further defined by an
invitingly tactile border of translucent accent
glass "stones" from Ann Sacks. Calcutta mar-
ble is introduced again on the vanity surface
that is lined with mirrored cabinetry, visually
increasing the size of the already spacious
bathing space. The latest KOHLER plumbing
products in gleaming white and brushed nick-
el finishes include a whirlpool bath with a
chromatherapy feature and a generous cus-
tomized showering space with multiple spray
heads.
The overall result is an effortless organic
eclecticism that creates a sense of calm; a lux-
urious place to rejuvenate and reconnect.
