Kohler Schools hires new principal

The Kohler School Board approved the administrative contract for Nick DeBaker, who will serve as the new middle school and high school princi-pal for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years.

DeBaker was born in She-boygan, with his father working at Kohler Co. for 15 years. He spent the last 25 years in Racine where he was a principal.Crews break ground at new Aurora

site in KohlerTwo years after Aurora Health Care announced plans to build a new $324 million hospital, sur-gery center and medical offi ce facility on land owned by Kohler Co., crews have fi nally broken ground. The project is expected to be completed in late 2021.

Two fi nalists named for Kohler Police Chief – one withdraws

Two fi nalists were selected for the Kohler Police Chief po-sition, which has been vacant since the end of 2018. They were Craig Plehn, Chief of Police for the City of Chilton, WI, and Shawn Splivalo, Patrol Lieutenant-Shift Command-er 1st shift for the Sheboygan County Sheriff ’s Offi ce. Plehn withdrew from the process, however, a day before a sched-uled closed session meet-and-greet with Kohler Trustees on Wednesday, June 26.

Plehn told The Kohler Vil-lager that the City of Chilton and its Mayor came up with a package to retain him as their Police Chief, and the City Council voted unanimously for a pay increase. Plehn thanked the Village for the opportuni-ty to interview and wished the Village the best of luck in their search for the next Kohler Po-lice Chief.

The sole fi nalist, Lt. Shawn Splivalo, lives in Kohler and be-

came a Patrol Lieutenant-Shift Commander 1st Shift for the Sheriff ’s Offi ce on February 2019. Before that he was a Pa-trol Sergeant (2013-2019), a Patrol Offi cer (2003-2013), and a Correctional Offi cer (2000-2003). His job duties include traffi c enforcement, criminal investigations, crime preven-tion, and community policing. He is a member of the SWAT/Sniper team and also conducts bike patrol, boat patrol, and is a Glock Armorer. He is an in-structor in Defense and Arrest Tactics, Firearms, Long Gun, Vehicle Contact, IPMBA Police Cyclist, and Taser.

The Kohler Village Board held its scheduled closed ses-sion meeting but took no action. There is no offi cial word as to whether Splivalo was off ered the position. The Kohler Vil-lager was told it may be taken up at the July 18 Village Board meeting.

The position became vacant

when former Kohler Police Chief William Rutten retired at the end of 2018 after serving as Kohler’s chief since 2001. KPD Lieutenant David Darin has been fi lling in as the interim un-til a new chief is selected. The Village Board held off on the search for a new chief until the intergovernmental agreement for the new Aurora Hospital was fi nalized.

After adjourning the May 20 Village Board meeting, Presi-dent Tom Schnettler said that

he had whittled about 12 or 14 applications down to about six or seven (applicants were told there were eight in all inter-viewed). He said it was good to hear that four or fi ve Kohler offi cers had applied because it must mean they are happy working for the Village, or they would not have applied. How-ever, none of the Kohler ap-plicants, including the interim police chief, made the fi nal cut.

Schnettler had also said that Sheboygan County Sheriff Cory Roeseler had volunteered early on to help evaluate applicants, and help explain the various classes, certifi cations, etc. that would be listed in applications. Kohler resident and school board member Karl Nonhof helped conduct interviews.

Schnettler said that he ex-pected the new chief to be in place By August 1, 2019, but that was before Chief Plehn withdrew.

School athletics controversy ignited by social media “town square” ruffles feathersBy Mary Struck, Editor/ Publisher.Editor’s note: I tried to gather as much information as I could regarding this controversy and compile it in a coherent article/editorial while keeping it as short as possible. (I probably rewrote it seven or more times until I simply ran out of time, so please forgive any errors or awkwardness in the flow). Un-fortunately, a crucial post with contributions from many com-munity members that was post-ed on one of the closed Kohler Facebook groups appeared to have been deleted by the author, removing a valuable source for getting the community mem-bers’ side of the story. Besides sorting out and compiling the information to present the facts as I know them, I also wanted to address social media use as a modern-day town square, which is why this article is also an editorial.

Some Kohler School Board members were taken aback to see a crowd of constituents packing the library for the June 17 School Board meeting, fol-lowed by the Committee of the Whole meeting. Some school administrators were a little perturbed that the large crowd showed up based on a “rumor” that numerous sports and co-ops were going to be eliminat-ed, and teachers were going to replace coaches who were not employed by Kohler Schools. Superintendent Quynh True-blood was adamant in stating there have been no active ad-ministrative actions to even consider eliminating any sports, whether co-ops or not. The ex-

ercise before the board was to provide information to overlay the entire program and to let people deal with those numbers and how they interpret that was not up to her. She said the ad-ministration just wants to lay out the facts to help the board in its work. The intention was just to ask “where are we?”

To me, “rumor” didn’t quite seem like the right word to de-scribe what brought the impas-sioned crowd to the meeting. The primary issue appeared to be a feeling that the athletic di-rector was taking action on his own that advanced an agenda of eliminating some sports and coaches. Rumor or not, mem-bers of the public, including athletic students and coaches, took advantage of the public speaking session at the regular board meeting to voice their support for co-ops, having a good variety of sports offerings, and for keeping the dedicated non-staff coaches.

The controversy appeared to have been ignited when a well-respected volleyball coach was notified that she was being let go from her coaching job. Later, other coaches reportedly felt they were next on the chop-ping block after “feeler” emails were sent out by the athletic director asking teachers if they wanted to coach. Superinten-dent Quynh Trueblood assured everyone that the same email is sent out every year and that it was all a misunderstanding.

In an Interscholastic Athlet-ics Report by the school’s ath-letic director Joe Hildebrand the

following two items are listed under “Challenges”: “Gain-ing on-staff teacher-coaching stability. The goal would be to make progress toward reach-ing a 50/50 balance.” and “In-creasing student participation in off-season training is lacking in part due to off-staff coaching.”

This raised red flags for some parents and coaches alike when the well-respected volleyball coach was fired, followed by the “feeler” email sent to teaching staff. During the public speak-ing session at the June 17 board meeting, many made their sat-isfaction with non-staff coaches known, should there be plans to fire more non-staff coaches.

The crowd was assured that coaches wouldn’t be fired via email. The matter would have to go through several channels and the coach would receive written notice. When I emailed the ath-letic director seeking a copy of the emails, I instead received a call from Superintendent Quynh Trueblood saying the public re-action to the “feeler” email sent to teachers was “emotional” rather than a “factual,” and I could not have the emails due

to it being a “personnel issue.” Yet since then, I have learned from a school board member that the volleyball coach was indeed fired by email, and not a written letter. There’s no way to confirm facts in this instance since I cannot view the emails. So the emotional reaction from concerned citizens wasn’t en-tirely unwarranted.

Also on the table for discus-sion that raised concerns was whether Kohler Schools should align their offerings with the Big East conference and devel-op these programs to be com-petitive, or should the school continue to offer more than what the Big East conference sponsors so students have a big-ger variety of sports offerings to choose from, even if it means being on losing teams?

President Jane Bishop laid out questions the board has been tasked to consider regard-ing current programs, and what they may look like five years from now to determine if they are on the right track.

She said as the board looked at the athletic programs sever-al things came to their atten-tion over the past year. One of them is the school board policy for athletic programs and what they want to see from them, and what have they identified as problematic. She enumerated questions that were being con-sidered: Are athletic programs offerings aligned to our purpose and objectives? Should Kohler align our offerings with the Big East conference and develop these programs to be compet-itive? Are those the only pro-grams we want to have? Do we care what conference we are in? Should Kohler continue to offer more than what the Big East sponsors? Although exploring and providing many opportuni-ties is the reason for having pro-gram offerings through co-ops, do we want to develop limits on the number of co-op offer-ings to keep them feasible, or allow more to be added? There was also a question of whether feeder teams in the lower grades could be sustained once the cur-rent middle schoolers move up to high school,

The current policy’s purpose and objectives are as follows:

Existing policy states: “The purpose of an interscholastic program is to provide the bene-fits of an athletic experience for as large a number of students as feasible within the District.

The existing policy also states: “The objective of an in-terscholastic team is to strive to win and be competitive and pro-mote the ideals of good sports-

manship, ethics, and integrity.”The board discussed whether

the two contradicted each other and whether the school’s goal should be to strive to be num-ber one in a selective number of sports, or is the philosophy and approach to serving as many students as they can in a variety of sports? One board member made the point that “striving” to win doesn’t necessarily mean “must” win. Many members of the public agreed with that statement, as they believed stu-dents should have a wide va-riety of sports to choose from, even if they aren’t all winning teams. Others in the audience pointed out that the school is very pro-active in making sure students are academic winners, why can’t the same be expected for athletics? But many felt that canceling a sport to bolster oth-ers in achieving that goal is not going to make remaining sports stronger. Some said that can-celing swimming and diving, for example, wouldn’t drive all those girls to basketball or vol-leyball or other Big East confer-ence sports, especially if they have never played those sports before. They would probably sit on the bench. When Board President Bishop asked the par-ents if they would be okay with a team that loses a lot, there was a resounding “Yes!” from the crowd. Parents and athletic student speakers spoke of the friendships they made in the various sports and among co-op students.

While the school administra-tion reiterated that they hadn’t taken any actions in the matter, it seemed to me that most of the audience members were simply upset by the fact that this discus-sion came up at all, as aligning with the Big East would elimi-nate a number of school sports, including girls swimming and diving, boys and girls hockey, trap shooting, boys golf, and boys and girls tennis. Football would also be eliminated, as the WIAA Board of Control voted this past April to approve a foot-ball-only conference for 2020 that moves Kohler/Sheboygan Lutheran/Sheboygan County Christian (KLC) co-op team from the Big East Conference to the Eastern Wisconsin Con-ference.

These controversies have cropped up at Kohler schools at one time or another in the past 15 years or so. Some feel that having a small population of Kohler students spread out over so many sports prevents the school from having competi-tive, winning teams. In the past, there were those who thought

IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY FOR THE RIGHT CHILDREN’S LIFE INSURANCE.

A DreamSecure Children’s Whole Life Insurance policy from American Family Life Insurance Company is a simple way to help your child, or grandchild, get a head start on building �nancial protection. Because someday, they’ll live for someone else, too.

Let’s talk about protecting their future, today.

Kohler’s new soccer team should be eliminated because it was stealing students away from the football team. There were those who complained that Kohler only seemed to ex-cel at “country club” sports like golf and tennis. There were, and still are, those who have never liked the co-op program. There was even a small contingent of residents years ago who, in op-position to the school renova-tion referendum, felt the entire school should be eliminated to reduce taxes, and Kohler kids should be bussed to Sheboygan Falls or Howards Grove.

There also seemed to be a disconnect between how the two sides of the issue defi ned “actions.” While the adminis-tration focused on making it known that there were no of-fi cial actions taken by the ad-ministration, the constituents and some board members were inferring that there had been unoffi cial actions taken by the athletic director, like the fi ring of the volleyball coach, for ex-ample.

Board member John Hor-neck stated, “It doesn’t add up. Actions are being taken con-cerning sports that are co-op or non-Big East sponsored sports that are going to undermine the ability of those sports to exist.” He said it seems “designed rath-er than accidental.” Horneck went on to again use the term “actions” in stating, “I’ve got a serious problem with the fact that actions are being taken in the background to undermine the success of co-op sports and non-Big East conference sports . . .” Horneck didn’t elaborate on which actions he was refer-ring to. The superintendent reit-erated that there were no actions taken by the school administra-tion, nor were they planning to take any actions.

Board President Bishop posed a question to the athletic director stating that she has “. . . seen it written in many plac-es that we want to see as many students participate in Big East

sports as possible,” and she feared this would eliminate the girls and boys tennis teams, which have been competitive teams for as long as she has lived in Kohler. The athletic di-rector countered that he didn’t know if he wrote it like that, or if the president was interpreting it that way, but his question sim-ply was, do they want to align with what the Big East currently off ers? He said he wasn’t ask-ing the school to do that, it was just for the sake of discussion. It’s unknown where the “many places” were that the board president saw these things writ-ten. Superintendent Trueblood assured everyone that tennis would be the last sport to be canceled if those kinds of ac-tions were ever taken since Kohler is in the unique position of having the Sports Core and very involved parents.

Athletic director Joe Hil-debrand fi nally spoke, stating that he is all about opportunity, and he would never take away from that. He said he was all for co-ops and without them, he wouldn’t have a job, the school wouldn’t have sports, and the kids wouldn’t have the opportu-nities, so that rumor should be squashed.

A member of the audience asked if the public would have been informed if the board planned to take action on these issues. They were assured that there were administrative guidelines and safeguards in place that keep important de-cisions like eliminating sports from being decided in one fell swoop at one meeting. It would have to go through several stakeholders, and it was stat-ed that a public hearing would need to be set. There was no mention as to whether there would be any public announce-ments informing the public of a public hearing beyond vague wording in an agenda (which aren’t easy to fi nd on the school website). Superintendent True-blood later explained to me that the vague wording in agendas

is due to requirements by the Department of Instruction to use certain uniform words in agendas. Be that as it may, the lack of communicating from the school about these types of matters beyond posting agendas has had the community frustrat-ed for quite some time.

Constituents are often told to attend meetings or contact board members with ques-tions and concerns, rather than spreading rumors on social me-dia. Some have been attending meetings and still had misgiv-ings. Because the issue is with a school employee, concerned citizens are simply told it’s a “personnel issue” and can’t be discussed with the public. So they share their concerns and observations with one another in closed Facebook groups, and they are tattled on and called out by the administration and some board members for ru-mor-mongering on the dreaded social media.

Aside from the inaccessibil-ity of personnel issues, some-times the public simply feels like openness and transparency is lacking in some of the an-swers they receive when they do contact their leadership or representatives, or they feel like they are getting the runaround. Discussing the issues with one another in closed Facebook groups isn’t much diff erent than the administration discussing government business in closed session. I doubt their discus-sions are always 100% factual and never emotional.

The Board President said at the beginning of the meeting that the whole thing was like playing the kids game “Tele-phone.” She said, “When you start over here and you get over there, and my God, it’s a story defi es logic.”

I didn’t see or hear anything that could be described as defy-ing logic. It seems logical to me that some parents, community members, coaches or stakehold-ers who want more competitive teams may be infl uencing the

athletic director. It seems logi-cal to me that there may be some who have never liked co-ops and would like them eliminated, or never liked all the extra non-traditional sports stealing away from the traditional ones. And it seems logical to me that an ath-letic director could be swayed to take little actions here and there to advance a pro-Big East conference athletic program at Kohler Schools. I’m not saying he has done this, but I would hardly describe it as “defying logic” to suggest he might have.

There have also been some contradictory statements made that leaves community mem-bers confused. At the June 17 meeting, the board president said there has not been at any point any plans to disband co-ops and everyone should go away with that idea. But in the very next breath, she said it may happen at some point, it just wasn’t the intent now.

The community was at the meeting to express their objec-tions to the discussion happen-ing now or in the future. They were doing what they have been told over and over again to do: attend meetings, make your voices heard, instead of just sit-ting on social media complain-ing. Among those who spoke during the public input session at the June 17 meeting were doctors and other professionals, athletic students, school volun-teers, coaches, and other civic leaders. The comments from adults and students alike were very well thought out and ad-ept. They didn’t deserve to be patronizingly portrayed as silly little children having an emo-tional reaction to social media rumors. (Some from the school side got just a little emotional, too. One said something they had to apologize for later. It happens and it’s not a crime).

In the “olden days” people talked about such issues over the fence, on the phone, or in the grocery store parking lots. Now it takes place on a diff er-ent medium and it’s not a bad thing. Social media has become the modern-day town square,

and that probably isn’t going to change any time soon. Every media organization uses Face-book to report and communi-cate with their audiences. Many municipal governments and po-lice departments do as well. It has aided in the capture of crim-inals and helped locate missing persons and pets, as happened this past week in our area.

Social media has the add-ed benefi t of allowing people to ask questions, seek clarifi -cation, share links with more information, compare notes, and correct misinformation to a large group at once, unlike the telephone days. The Kohler groups are private, consisting mostly of residents and school choice parents, not the general public. Some “old school” civic leaders like to boast about never using Facebook, but we know they get play-by-play reports from family members or Vil-lage passenger pigeons. They are more than welcome at any time to pass along corrections or clarifi cations when they are made aware of misinformation and anyone of us will be happy to share it with the group. I ask them to please stop telling us to keep discussion of the commu-nity issues off Facebook, even if it’s said jokingly. This could be construed as creating a “chilling eff ect” on free speech rights.

Board member Horneck summed up the controversy well by pointing out that the board discussed the issues at the April 29 meeting, and now they were discussing it again, and it shouldn’t be any surprise that the constituency showed up to infl uence the discussion if the board and school were to ever get to the point of making a de-cision.

The meeting was adjourned without discussing the remain-der of the items because the two meetings had taken a total of three hours and it was get-ting late. School agendas and minutes can be viewed at go.boarddocs.com/wi/kohler /Board.nsf/Public

More victims discovered in “upskirting” incidentIncarcerated suspect attempts suicide, bond is raised

A new amended criminal complaint was filed in court yesterday against David L. Ear-ley, the rural Sheboygan Falls man who was charged May 30, 2019 with capturing intimate videos of women at a company and department store in Kohler.

Earley had captured record-ed video up women’s dresses at both the company he worked for in Kohler, as well as a Kohler department store. He also filmed some female employees at the company taking show-ers in shower rooms provided by the company, as well as one woman extracting breast milk in a room at the company that is designated for nursing mothers and first responders. (The busi-ness names are not identified in

the criminal complaints).A new bond hearing was also

held, with the bond increased to $125,000 from the previous amount of $50,000. Earley has remained incarcerated since the initial arrest and was never out on bond.

The ongoing investigation by the Kohler Police Department discovered 10 more victims from the previously reported five, raising the original charges of four counts of Invasion of Privacy and one count of Cap-ture an Intimate Representation Without Consent, to nine counts of Invasion of Privacy and six counts of Capture an Intimate Representation Without Con-sent, for a total of 15 felony charges against Earley at this

point.In all, there have

been five victims filmed in the show-er, nine victims who were filmed up their dresses, and one vic-tim filmed while ex-tracting milk in the nursing/first responders’ room. One of the shower victims had been an intern at the company. More victims may be discov-ered as the investigation con-tinues.

According to the amended criminal complaint, one of Ear-ley’s female co-workers told in-vestigators that she had an un-easy feeling about Earley, who she said seemed to be always waiting in the vestibule and

would walk upstairs behind her for the prior two months. The investigation revealed that Earley provided invitations to the showers at the business to co-work-ers, and had request-

ed access to the nursing/first re-sponders’ room in the event that were after-hours emergencies.

Letters that Earley had writ-ten were discovered, including one addressed to the State of Wisconsin and another to the victims of his crimes. In his letter to the State of Wiscon-sin, Earley wrote in part, “...I am guilty of all that you are intending to charge me with...” In his letter to victims he wrote

in part, “...I am sorry I violat-ed your privacy. I intended you no harm, and was only trying to satisfy my own perversions. Please know that I never at-tempted to post or publicize any of the videos that I had taken, the videos were only viewed by myself...”

Whether the videos have or have not been shared anywhere, is still being investigated.

The amended complaint also shows that on June 6, 2019, Ear-ley attempted to take his own life at the Sheboygan County Detention Center one week af-ter he had been incarcerated.

KPAL sees good turnout for fi rst Movie Night

Social media-inspired search party helps reunite lost dog with owner

Social media-inspired search party helps reunite a lost dog with owner

A missing dog named Dozer, who was spotted running along Greenfi eld Drive in Kohler af-ter a storm, became one of the hottest topics on Kohler social media in late June.

Dozer escaped his Sheboy-gan Falls home during a June 27 thunderstorm when he be-came scared and broke through a screen door. Several Kohler residents posted about the sight-ings in a Kohler women’s Face-book group, but no one rec-ognized the dog. A notice and photo were then posted on the Kohler Villager Facebook page as well as the Kohler group on Nextdoor.com. The post was shared around Facebook for two days before someone rec-ognized the dog and tagged the owner.

Residents from Kohler and surrounding communities, as well as the owner, jumped into action helping to look for Dozer, posting sightings and updates on social media. But Dozer was on the run, which is common for lost scared dogs.

Many people searching for lost dogs don’t realize that dogs that are normally friend-ly and social will often go into panic mode when too many people chase after him calling his name. This causes the dog to keep running, even from its owners. While some dogs will ultimately calm down and then

approach people, other dogs will continue to run as Dozer did.

According to the Missing Animal Network (missingani-malresponse.com), one of the worst things searchers (even the owners) can do is call a stray, loose, or panicked dog. Most people will slowly approach the dog using direct eye contact while tapping their leg and call-ing him, but in the dog’s pan-icked state, that signals preda-tory behavior. Calling his name becomes a “trigger” that can cause him to automatically take off . The website says that dogs who leave the home because of a frightening event, like an accident or thunderstorm, are the most diffi cult to catch since they will travel far, travel fast,

and avoid all human contact. When they are in fi ght or fl ight mode, a part of their brain shuts down that also shuts down their sense of smell toward food or their owners.

The website recommends us-ing “calming signals” instead. The calming signals involve taking a low posture such as kneeling or even lying down with a bag of food. Avoid di-rect eye contact with the dog or calling his name and instead make other noises like cough-ing or anything that captures the dog’s attention. Then pretend to eat the food, while crunching the bag, making eating noises like one would do when trying to get a baby to eat, and drop-ping pieces of the food on the ground. This signals to the dog

that you aren’t a threat, but are instead ignoring him. Patience is required as it may take a half-hour or more for the dog to fi -nally approach. You may then gently toss some food to the dog to attempt to lure him closer.

Several years ago a dog was lost around the Kohler arbo-retum for days after chasing a deer. He would hide during the day, and come out at night. The owners were instructed to park near the area, leaving the car doors open with food in and around the car. They were also instructed to walk around the car to leave their scent, then just sit quietly and wait. Their dog fi nally appeared around 3:00 a.m., and after reluctantly circling the car for a while, he jumped in.

Dozer made it to Gibbsville, which is about 7.5 miles from Kohler before a couple spotted him. According to the own-er, as the couple approached him, Dozer began to back up, most likely getting ready to fl ee again. Fortunately, anoth-er person happened to be close enough to grab his collar.

Other than looking a little scruff y and being drenched in skunk odor, Dozer appears to be okay.

It was a great evening with great weather and a good turnout for KPAL’s fi rst Movie Night. KPAL representatives said the food trucks were all very happy with the turnout and the movie was a hit. They were also able to raise approximately $70 dollars for the Power of Peer Supports (POPS) program at Kohler Schools.

Power of Peer Supports is a research based pro-gram that teaches students about students with dis-abilities and builds a knowledge base they can use to understand and support their classmates with dis-abilities. The money will be used for pizza at their meetings.

Sophie Kubiak celebrated her 100th birthday in a tiara get-tin’ down to some Polka tunes at the Kohler Klub 55 picnic held Sunday, June 30. She is the mother of School Board mem-ber Sharon Reilly.

There was beautiful weather, lots of food, and entertainment by Dazzling Dave’s Yo-Yo en-tertainment, followed by Pol-ka music by ???? on Sophie’s favorite instrument, the accor-dion, which she used to play. Kohler Klub 55 director Janine Mueller joined in for a song to play the Stumpf Fiddle.

Sophie Koldys was born on June 25, 1919, in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin and graduated in 1937 from South Milwaukee High School. She married Jerome Kubiak on November 24, 1949, and they celebrated 68 years of mar-riage. Kohler resident Sharon Reilly is their daughter. Sophie has two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Sophie and her husband enjoyed 32 years of retirement together. Sophie owned and operated a liquor store in South Milwaukee, played accordion at dance halls, plays piano by ear, and loves polka music. When she was in her 70s, Sophie was a mem-ber of Snappy Steppers Senior Dance Troupe. She is a social butterfl y and a fan of the Mil-waukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers. She likes to play cards, learned to play Mahjong at age 98, still rides a stationary bicy-cle and balances her checkbook monthly. She even knows how to text on a cell phone!

Klub 55 is a fun group for anyone in Kohler and the sur-rounding community aged 55 and over. Sports, lunches, class-es, and road trips are off ered throughout the year. For more information call 459-3873, email cgamb@kohlervillage.org or visit Village Hall to in-quire.

School explains addition of 59 open enrollment students

One of the agenda items for the June 17 school board meet-ing was to approve a total of 59 open enrollment applications.

With about one-third of the school consisting of open en-

rollment students, some resi-dents questioned why the school was accepting more, when they thought the school wouldn’t be, especially with construction of The Clearings subdivision be-

ginning. They also felt it would hurt property values because Kohler homes don’t sell as well when families aren’t buying them to get into the school dis-trict.

Matt Kautzer, the District’s business manager, explained that the 59 were mostly replac-ing students that had graduat-ed, moved out of the district, or Kohler students who were transferring to another school through the choice program. In the end, there will only be 2%

more students next school year from the last.

Kautzer also explained the fi rst infl ux of students from The Clearings isn’t expected until 2021-22 year, and the full im-pact won’t be reached for four to fi ve years as the subdivision is going to be built in phases.

Regular offi ce hours are Monday-Friday, 7:30am-4pm.FROM INTERIM POLICE CHIEF DAVE DARINwww.kohlerpolice.comThe KPD is always receiving complaints from residents about being “scammed” either over the telephone or over the internet. These are very diffi cult cases to investigate. In many cases, the perpetrator is located oversees. State and Federal authorities are reluctant to get involved in these cases unless the monetary loss is extreme. The best way to deal with these fraudulent schemes is to prevent them. The FBI has an extensive web page to aid in such prevention. Please visit :fbi.gov/scams-and-safety/on-the-internetPrivately purchased “caution” or “slow” signs. We have noticed that some residents have purchased such signs on their own and have them displayed outside their residence near the street. These signs are becoming more and more popular at big box stores – like Kohler’s Home Depot. Please be aware that these signs should not be placed directly in the street. Please also edu-cate your children about safety in the streets. Some children seem to be getting a false sense of safety/se-curity, relying on the new sign to “protect them” instead of giving the respect to cars driving through the neighborhood. As more and more of these signs appear, they lose their effectiveness and merely become “white noise” to drivers.FROM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR BRETT EDGERLECLEARINGS SUBDIVISIONThe Clearings Subdivision is the newest subdivision being developed by Kohler Co. starting on July 8th. It is located north of the Kohler Cemetery, west of Woodland Road. Please drive cautiously and be aware of construction traffi c.MULCHMulch is available for $10 per yard plus tax, delivered. Call 459-3873 to place an order. Deliveries are Friday mornings only. YARD WASTEAs a reminder, brush (tree branches) must be neatly piled in four-foot lengths on the curb. The maximum diameter is six inches. No brush with thorns will be picked up. Thorny material must be cut up and put in the cart with the green lid. Brush not complying will be tagged and not picked up. Leaves must also be placed in the green lid cart as well. Do not rake leaves and debris into the street; curbside leaf collection is in the fall only.GARAGE SALE SIGNSOne temporary “garage sale” or “for sale” sign shall be per-mitted on each lot. Signs located on public property will be re-moved by the Public Works Department or Police Department.BUILDING PERMITSA reminder that building permits are required for new structures, additions, remodeling, accessory structures, pools, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, siding, roofi ng, fences, signs, modifi cations over $1,000 in market value, and driveways. Any questions about building permits and/or permit fees can be directed to Brett Edgerle at 459-3881 or bedgerle@kohlervillage.org. Permit application forms are also available on our website www.kohlervillage.org.STORABLE SWIMMING POOLSStorable swimming pools, require an annual $50 permit. A

storable pool is any pool, which holds 1000 gallons of water or more. Storable pools must be located 35 feet from all lot lines and meet ALL electrical codes for the pump. NOXIOUS WEEDS/GRASS LENGTHAccording 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 Ca-nadian thistle, English charlock, wild mustard, creeping jenny, goats beard and cotton-bearing trees. Also, grass that exceeds six-inches in height is in violation of this ordinance. The Village gives a fi ve-day notice to the homeowner to mow their grass. Otherwise, the Village will mow at the expense of the home-owner.STORM WATER POLUUTION PREVENTIONIt is a requirement of the Village of Kohler’s Storm Water Permit that the public be educated of harmful illicit discharges to the storm water system. An illicit discharge would be the dumping of any chemical, pet waste, or hazardous substance into the street or a storm basin inlet. The substance would eventually make its way into the Sheboygan River causing a pollution haz-ard. To report an illicit discharge, please call the Public Works offi ce at 459-3881.KOHLER MEMORIAL THEATERThe theater is being renovated with completion scheduled in late 2019. Please be aware of construction vehicles and materi-al staging adjacent to the theater. POTABLE WATER CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL (BACKFLOW) PROGRAMThe Village of Kohler is required to execute a cross connection control (backfl ow preventer) program to eliminate potable water cross connections. Residential backfl ow preventers may be required on lawn irrigation systems, wet fi re protection systems, hot water heating (boiler) systems, swimming pool fi lls, water features, etc. Backfl ow preventers may also be required if there is another water source on the site such as a well, pond, river, etc. Backfl ow preventers are the property of the water customer and the responsibility lies with the customer for annual testing and maintenance. The water customer must contract with a licensed tester to perform the required annual tests. Most local plumbers are certifi ed to test backfl ow preventers.The contractor hired to oversee Kohler’s backfl ow program is Aqua Backfl ow, a nationally-recognized fi rm located in Elgin, IL specializing in cross connection control management. Aqua Backfl ow can be reached at 847-742-2296 with any questions. Your Village of Kohler contact, Brett Edgerle, can be reached at 920-459-3881. All water customers will be contacted by Aqua Backfl ow at some point over the next two years to perform a site survey. Inspectors will be surveying your property to be sure that your water systems are protected from existing or potential cross connections.The Kohler Cross Connection Control Program is designed to safeguard public health. We ask for your cooperation with our program, its enforcement, and any requests for access or information that come from Aqua Backfl ow or Village staff.

Destination Kohler expands Yoga practice with connection to natureYoga on the Lake expands private and group classes with serene outdoor yoga platform

Destination Kohler announces the opening of a new outdoor yoga platform located near Blackwolf Run golf course.

“With this new experience, we are encouraging our guests to be-come closer to nature while they practice mindfulness,” said Ashley Kohler Senior Fitness Studio Man-ager, Destination Kohler. “Yoga can help reduce stress and center oneself – and being outdoors in a peaceful location only enhances that experience. We are looking forward to holding classes, and fur-ther off ering thoughtful ways our guests and community can improve their wellbeing.”

Leading up to this unique yoga

Available for private bookings and for groups, as well as for spe-cial event classes and workshops, the platform hosts up to 20 people. Classes can also be booked through one of the three distinct journeys packages off ered at the resort. De-stress, Healthy Lifestyle and Mind-fulness – have been designed to help nurture guests in pursuit of to-tal well-being, and include luxury

It could include outdoor recreation, high-energy classes, meditation or hydrotherapy.
