Kohler educator
chosen to represent
Wisconsin in
national program
Last month, The Kohler Villager reported
that Kohler second grade teacher Lori
Neurohr was among four Wisconsin teach-
ers named state Elementary Educator of the
Year by the Herb Kohl Educational
Foundation. Neurohr was chosen from
among those four to receive the national
Teacher of the Year award and will repre-
sent Wisconsin in the nations capital.
MADISONLori Neurohr, a second-grade
teacher at Kohler Elementary School, will
represent Wisconsin in the national Teacher
of the Year program.
A statewide panel of educators, parents,
and community leaders selected Neurohr
from among four Teachers of the Year
named in early September. She was chosen
for her superior ability to inspire a love of

Speed limit to
be changed
on Greenfield
Drive
The Kohler Village Board recently
passed an ordinance that will reduce the
speed limit on Greenfield Drive to 25 mph.
(The current limit is 35 mph.) The change,
which will go into effect in the near future,
also includes a special 15 mph zone on
Greenfield Drive and on Upper Road for
children going to and from school. Signs
will be flagged to alert motorists to the
lowered limit.
The lowered speed limit will also make
the area safer for pedestrians crossing
Greenfield Drive and Upper Road for
activities taking place at Ebben Field.
Kohler Police Chief Bill Rutten said the
Kohler Police Department knows there will
need to be some transition time, and will
give warnings when appropriate.
Plans are also in the works to close up
the boulevard at Orchard Court between
Upper Road and Greenfield Drive, and add
an extra crossing guard to that area.
Orchard Court is the short street next to the
Ebben Field tunnel entrance. The closing
of the boulevard will prevent motorists
traveling on Greenfield from turning onto
Orchard Court, and should help relieve
dangerous congestion in that area when
pedestrians are going to and from school or
events at Ebben Field.
Food and wine lovers
descend on Kohler
Despite high gas prices and a looming
economic crisis, the approximately 7,500
tickets sold for the eighth annual Kohler
Food and Wine Experience exceeded last
years sale of about 7,000 tickets.
The four-day event, which took place
October 23 through 26, featured 70 ticket-
ed events and more than three dozen com-
plimentary events. Food and wine connois-
seurs from the area as well as travelers
from around the Midwest and the nation
experienced a weekend of gala wine tasting
events, wine and spirits seminars, sam-
plings of artisan cheese and gourmet foods,
specialty shopping, and culinary demon-
strations by celebrity chefs. Receiving top
billing for the event were chefs Ilan Hall
and Hung Huynh, winners of seasons two
and three of the hit culinary television
series Top Chef; Gail Simmons, judge and
food critic for Top Chef, as well as expert
with Food & Wine magazine; 2008 Food &
Wine Best New Chef Giuseppe Tentori;
Tony Mantuano, chef and partner of
Spiaggia, the only 4-star Italian restaurant
in Chicago; Bruce Sacino, Executive Chef
at the Augusta National Golf Club;

Andrea Immer Robinson, Master
Sommelier and Dean of Wine Studies at
The French Culinary Institute; Anthony
Giglio, four-time participant wine and
cocktail expert; and Jon Ashton, celebrity
chef and resident chef on CWs The Daily
Buzz.
When the worlds greatest golfers win
the famous Green Jacket at the Masters
Tournament (held annually at Augusta
National Golf Club), Chef Bruce Sacino
serves a meal of their choice. At the
Masters Club Champions Dinner at
Whistling Straits, chef Sacino recreated the
favorite meals of Tiger Woods, Phil
Mickelson, Fred Couples, Jose Maria
Olazabal, Vijay Singh, and Mike Weir.
Three Kohler residents, Hannah Fenton,
(a sophomore at Kohler High), her mother
Krsitine Fenton and Paula Anderson were
among community auction winners to pair
up with six Destination Kohler chefs for
this years Kohler Chefs Challenge. Each
team had 30 minutes to turn surprise ingre-
dients into culinary masterpieces. Ben
Sommerfeldt, Chef for the Wisconsin
Room, along with his team member
Barbara Gruber, were judged the winners of
the Challenge. Jill Lewinski,
Family/Consumer Education teacher at
Kohler Schools served as one of the judges
alongside Chef Ulrich Koberstein,
Executive Chef at the American Club, and
Chef Paul Smitala of Blackwolf Run.
Bruce Sacino, Executive Chef, Augusta National Golf Club, demonstrated Southern Low Country Cuisine during a
main stage event. He also recreated some favorite meals of Masters golfers at a Whistling Straits dinner event.

Dear Amy,
A job transfer requires us to put our home
on the market soon...but we dont know what
to do with the Holidays fast approaching!
Should we just wait until Jan? Or , if we list
with you now what do we do about decorating
for our family during the Holidays?
It seems that just before Christmas there is a
flurry of activity regarding house sales. It is one
of those times of the year when people start to
reevaluate what is going on in their lives and when decisions
to make changes are made. One of the most popular ways to
make these changes is to buy a new house.
One of the nicest things about Christmas is the color;
its always so cheery, so use this to your advantage and put
a big colorful wreath on your door. It brightens up the out-
side entry and makes people feel welcome immediately.
Even if you are a big fan of Christmas decorations, this is
not the year to decorate your yard or the outside of the house
elaborately. One thing to remember is that not everyones
taste is the same and you want to appeal to as many buyers
as you can and the best way to do that is to keep it simple.
Besides, it is best to have as many boxes as possible pre-
packed so that your move is smooth and easy as it can be!
As with any other time of the year you want the buyers
eyes to go directly to the features of the house, not to your
personal items. So be sure when decorating that you dont
add to any clutter. If you put up Christmas decorations, take
something else down and then pack it. Again, keep it simple.
Allow lots of room for traffic flow so that people can move
about freely and not think the home is too small for their
needs. Your Christmas tree should be in proportion to your
space, so if the house is very large and open, then a large
tree is perfect, but if your house is smaller and you have lit-
tle room, have a smaller tree. You might even consider a
tabletop version for this year.
These are just a few of the many suggestions I have for
putting your home in the best position to sell during the
Holiday Season. To receive a full copy for free, just contact
me on my web site, WWW.AmyGutschow.com, or CALL
AMY directly at (920) 377-1948. Its always easy to just

KOHLER Original
Recipe Chocolate
of the Month:
Pretzel Rods
This month Kohler Original Recipe
Chocolates proudly features the Pretzel
Rod. This pretzel enrobed in buttery
caramel, rolled in roasted pecans then
drizzled with Kohler Original Recipe
milk chocolate is sure to please young
and old alike.
When searching for a perfect treat to
be held in the hand but not melt as it is
being enjoyed, the chocolatiers of Kohler
Original Recipe Chocolates decided this
would be the ultimate answer. The
caramel is made in the European tradition
which means the utmost care is taken to
cook the sugar longer to create a more
pronounced flavor. The pecans are roast-
ed by chocolatiers to ensure each one is
done to the quality standards desired for
the handmade chocolates. The sweet milk
chocolate is then used to hold the pecans
and caramel gently together to create the
perfect flavor balance. This sweet and
salty combination is a dream!
The Pretzel Rod can be found as indi-
viduals for sale on the counter at
Craverie. The two and four piece bags are
also available at Craverie as the perfect
takeaway snack for after school, sports,
or even as your on-the-go dessert. Kohler
Original Recipe Chocolates are available
at Craverie and online at
www.KOHLERchocolates.com.

Produced and published by the School District of Kohler with the cooperation of staff, community members, and the Village of Kohler
Excellent progress is being made on the Ebben Field
track project. The old track has been successfully pulver-
ized, with the latent material scheduled for removal in the
coming days. Drainage and storm sewer work will also
be completed by October 24. This will allow for the base
(binder) layer of asphalt for the new track to be put down
during the first week of November. As such, we antici-
pate running a complete track season in spring. Good
news indeed!
As always, we ask that community members be mind-
ful of construction traffic and other potential hazards
associated with a major construction project. Lastly, the
board of Education would like to again thank the mem-
bers of the Ebben Field Track Task Force for volunteering
their time and expertise to this project. The diligence and
dedication of this group has allowed the Kohler Public
Schools to move expeditiously in an effort to maintain the
continuity of athletic programs associated with Ebben
Field.
The Task Force members are: Doug Bocchini, Jay
Hoekstra, Bob Kobylski, Tom Leonhardt, Becky Luedke,
Bruce Neerhof, Jim ODonnell and Tom Schnettler.

Children with disabilities procedure
The school district must locate, identify, and evaluate all children with disabilities, includ-
ing children with disabilities attending private schools in the school district, regardless of
the severity of their disabilities. The school district has a special education screening
program to evaluate all children with suspected disabilities and are at least three years
old. Upon request, the school district will screen a child who has not graduated high
school to determine whether a special education referral is appropriate. A request may
be made by contacting Tamra O'Keefe, Special Education Director at 459-2920 x1200.
Its fall, and our kids are back to school. This exciting
time of year also brings more risk for our children as they
travel to and from school. Here are some ways to keep
them safe.
Pedestrian Safety
The facts: In 2006, almost 400 pedestrians under age 16
were killed by motor vehicles; 39% of these deaths
occurred in the hours after school. An addi-
tional 13,000 children were injured by motor
vehicles. Why are kids at increased risk
for pedestrian injuries? Children are short
and therefore are difficult to see by
motorists, they have underdeveloped
peripheral vision making it harder for them
to see everything around them, they have trouble judging
a cars speed and distance from them, and they often
believe cars can stop instantly like they can.
Safety tips for parents and children walking to school:
Always cross at the crosswalk, if available. Cross with
a crossing guard if there is one.
Stop at the curb before crossing. Look left, then right,
then left again for traffic in all directions. If you see a
car, wait until it goes by. Then look left right left
again.
When no cars are coming, walk do not run across
the road. Keep looking for cars as you are crossing.
At traffic intersections, wait until the WALK sign is lit
before crossing, but only after looking left right
left.
Walk on the sidewalk if there is one. If there is no side-
walk and you have to walk on the road, walk facing
traffic so you can see whats coming.
For parents, double check if a child is behind you or
running toward you while you are backing up in your
car.
Biking to School Safely: Wear a Bike Helmet!
The facts: Each year, head injuries in kids cause 37,000
hospitalizations and 2,685 deaths. Almost
400,000 kids under 15 years old are
treated in Emergency Rooms for bike-
related injuries per year in the United
States. Such data are proof that car driv-
ers have difficulty seeing bike riders in
traffic. Wearing a helmet while biking has been shown to
prevent up to 88% of serious brain injuries in bike crash-
es; in fact, in areas where a law requires helmet use, bike-
related injuries and deaths have decreased significantly.
Helmet Safety Tips for Children and Parents:
Always wear a helmet when using anything with
wheels to get to school (bicycles, rollerblades, skate-
boards, scooters, or heelies).
Always buckle your helmet when wearing it.
Make sure your helmet fits properly. Helmets should
be stable, level, and snughave the helmet comfort-
ably touch the head all the way around, make sure it
doesnt move much with shaking the head, and have it
sit as low on your head as possible for maximum cov-
erage.
If you fall and hit your head with a helmet on, make
sure to replace the helmet immediatelymost helmets
are only approved for a single impact before they need
to be replaced.
Also replace your helmet if the buckle or straps break,
or if the helmet is older than 5 years.
Parents, you can help your child think their helmet is
cool by letting them choose the style and colorjust
make sure the helmet is approved by the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC, look for a label
on the helmet before purchase).
Model good helmet behavior for your kidsalways
wear your own helmet when riding bikes with your
kids, and encourage your childs peers to wear their
helmets.
Other activities require specialized helmets, including
skiing, snowboarding, sledding, horseback riding,
hockey, football, baseball, ATV riding, motocrossing,
moped riding, go-karting, snowmobiling, and ice skat-
ing. Bike helmets do not provide sufficient head pro-
tection for these activities.
School Bus Safety
The facts: By all measures, school buses are the safest
motor vehicles on the highwaysthey are 70 times safer
than cars and other vehicles. Every year in the U.S. about
440,000 public school busses travel over 4 billion miles
and daily transport 24 million children to and from school
and school-related activities. Even with those numbers,
on the average only 5 U.S. children are killed per year in
school bus crashes. However, between 1996 & 2006, 159
school-age pedestrians were killed while getting on or off
school busses, 73% of whom were struck by the bus &
28% by another vehicle. Half of these pedestrian fatalities
were children ages 5-7.
School Bus Safety for Students:
Stand at least 10 feet from the edge of the road.
Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver
says its OK before getting on the bus.
Be careful your backpack or clothing doesnt get
caught on the bus as you step off.
If you need to cross the street after getting off the bus,
always cross in front of the bus. Be sure the driver can
see you. Stop at the edge of the bus and look left
right left before crossing.
When on the bus, always sit fully in the seat and face
forward. Never stand on a moving bus.
Speak in a low voice, obey the driver, and never dis-
tract the driver.
Never stick anything out the window arm, leg, head,
backpack, etc.
School Bus Safety for Motorists:
Be awareit is illegal to pass a school bus stopped to
load or unload students.
Slow downwatch for children at crosswalks, in the
streets if there are no sidewalks, and at bus stops.
Be alertchildren arriving late for the bus may dart
into the street without looking for traffic.

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 NOWwhere they are to go if school closed early
(Will they go home with a classmate? Older sibling? A relative? Have you made prior arrangements 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 - Channel
6, WBAY-TV/DT 2 - Channel 2.

Counselors Corner
I am pleased to report that our 1
st
ever College Prep Day here at Kohler on October 15
th
was a huge success. The
students reported that testing in classrooms and having their instructors proctor the exams was really helpful. The
seniors also reported that the college preparatory sectionals were very helpful, especially the sectional on resumes
and interviewing. I am looking forward to when the testing results arrive and will make arrangements for distribution
of those results to students and parents. Our seniors have been very busy completing college applications and we
have been working to overcome the challenges of the new on-line Common Application. I am happy to share that a
number of our students have already received acceptance letters and scholarship award letters.
Our Elementary Students have been working on our 2
nd
Unit: Growing as a Group which dealt with using interper-
sonal skills in relating to others. We are moving on to our 3
rd
Unit: Making Positive Decisions which will focus on
learning how to make positive and responsible decisions and saying No to harmful ones. Hopefully, by now all par-
ents have seen one of the students Together Times Booklets or for parents of 6
th
graders their Changes and
Challenges book. We are having fun learning together and the students are such enthusiastic learners. As parents
feel free to stop by my office, call (459-2921 ext. 1301) or send an e-mail (multerl@kohler.k12.wi.us) if you have any
questions or concerns regarding your child(ren).

ings when appropriate.
School Crossing Guards
The Kohler Police Department has two
very dependable and dedicated crossing
guards that keep the Villages children safe.
They provide a valuable service, at five
different time intervals of up to 25 minutes,
during each and every school day. Please
help them out by instructing your children
that are going straight home to do so
before the crossing guards are done with
their shifts. If anyone has a question of the
time intervals, please contact the police
department or Officer Gross at the school.
Gunlocks
With gun deer hunting season right around
the corner, the Kohler Police Department is
reminding all those with firearms to use
caution when handling firearms. Also, the
Kohler Police Department continues to
supply Masterlock trigger locks for all resi-
dents that want one. One free gunlock can
be obtained from the police department just
by stopping in. For those who have already
obtained one in 2008, another can be
obtained starting in 2009. In addition to the
Masterlock trigger locks provided by the
Kohler Police Department, a federal pro-
gram, Project Childsafe, continues to have
locks available at the police department,
while supplies last. These locks are the
cable lock variety and anyone may request
up to three of those for their guns too.

did a fantastic job. The site incorporates all
the information from our previous site in a

ment personnel. Let us know what you
