Draft of comprehensive (smart
growth) plan nearing completion
almost 30 years old, and much of the data is
out of date. Further, the Master Plan does
not fully meet the extensive and compre-
hensive requirements of the state’s new
planning law. For these reasons, it has been
necessary for the Village to undertake the
creation of a new Plan. Leading the effort
has been the Village Plan Commission and
Long-Range Strategic Plan Committee,
which include representatives from Kohler
Co. and Kohler Public Schools. Together,
these committees have 1) overseen the dis-
tribution of a community wide citizen opin-
ion survey, 2) interviewed and selected a
consulting firm to write the Plan, and 3)
reviewed and provided feedback on draft
chapters presented by the consultant,
Martenson & Eisele, Inc., thus far.
As of early November, a rough draft of
By Kevin Struck, Village of Kohler Plan
Commission
In 1999, the state legislature passed the
most thorough planning legislation in
Wisconsin history. The comprehensive
planning law (sometimes called “Smart
Growth”) came about in response to con-
cerns that the previously existing state plan-
ning laws were outdated and inadequate to
address the needs of Wisconsin’s growing
communities. Consequently, after January
1, 2010, communities like the Village of
Kohler that make land use decisions must
have in place a comprehensive plan adopt-
ed by ordinance.
The existing Master Plan for the Village
was developed by the Frank Lloyd Wright
Foundation in the late 1970s under the
direction of Kohler Co. This plan included
information about the Village’s physical
setting, demographics, infrastructure, and
land use. There were also several recom-
mendations, many of which were imple-
mented and have had a positive impact on
the design of the Village as it is today.
Nevertheless, the Master Plan is now
the Plan had been completed and forwarded
to Kohler Co. management for review.
Once this review is completed and changes,
if any, have been discussed, a revised draft
will be made available for public review. A
limited number of copies will be located at
the Kohler Library and the Village Hall.
Individual chapters will also likely be post-
ed on the Village’s website or the Kohler
Villager newspaper website. Sometime in
early 2007 a public hearing will be sched-
uled where residents may ask questions and
make comments.
Warren Utecht, the planner from
Martenson & Eisele, Inc. who is involved
in writing the plan, said he felt privileged to
work in a community that has such a rich
history in planning. “The Village of Kohler
is an example of a community that did a
plan earlier than anyone else and then
implemented it.” Utecht sees strong interest
and leadership that will keep community
planning a high priority.
Watch for updates on the Village’s plan-
ning process in future issues of The Kohler
Villager.
Garbage pick-ups during the week of
Christmas and New Year’s will be on
Wednesday, December 27 and January 3.
According to the Village of Kohler
Department of Public Works, when a holi-
day falls on a Monday, all regularly sched-
uled garbage pick-ups in Kohler will be
one day later for the remainder of the
week.
Christmas trees should also be put at the
curb for garbage pick-up. The trees are con-
sidered garbage due to the potential for
lights or other ornamentation to be acciden-
tally left on the tree.
Sometime in early 2007 a public
hearing will be scheduled
where residents may ask questions
and make comments.
Craft Fair
weekend brings
visitors to Kohler
Thousands of holiday shoppers descend-
ed upon the Village of Kohler the weekend
of November 3rd through the 5th for the
annual Kohler School Friends Holiday Arts
and Crafts Fair and the Wisconsin Holiday
Market at The American Club.
The Wisconsin Holiday Market, which
has become a Christmas tradition at The
American Club, took place from November
3rd through the 5th, and the Kohler School
Friends Holiday Arts & Crafts Fair took
place on Saturday, November 4th.
The 2006 Kohler School Friends
Holiday Arts & Crafts Fair took in a record-
breaking $24,602, which exceeded the 2005
Arts & Crafts Fair proceeds by $6,385. All
proceeds from the event are allocated for
educational programs and supplies.
First annual Set The Night Aglow
event lit up holiday spirits
Set the Night Aglow, a tree lighting
ceremony, celebrated the beginning of
the season and the history of the Village
of Kohler with a gathering on November
24 in the ARTspace Plaza located at The
Shops at Woodlake Kohler.
The magical evening event was intro-
duced by Jamie Walters, president of
Hospitality & Real Estate for Kohler
Company. After a performance by
Hometown Harmony Tradition chorus of
Plymouth, the 25-foot tree was illuminat-
ed at 7 p.m. by Village President Tom
Leonhardt and Kohler Elementary
School student Jennifer Louwagie.
“The origin of this event stems from
the ‘Community Tree’ that was celebrat-
ed annually in front of The American
Club dating back to 1920,” said Walters.
“We wish to re-instill a sense of commu-
nity by offering a family tradition to
begin the season of celebrations.”
Set the Night Aglow also featured live
complimentary hot beverages and treats,
and free horse-drawn carriage rides.

Four sophomores from Kohler High
School went on an excursion from Novem-
ber 12-15 to study environmental preserva-
tion. They attended a natural resource spe-
cialty school called Trees for Tomorrow, lo-
cated in Eagle River, Wisconsin. Trees for
Tomorrow was founded in the 1930s and
moved to its present location in 1947. The
trip was funded by scholarships provided
through the Sheboygan County Conserva-
tion Association.
Sarah Bick, Crystal Simon, Kelly Sura-
lik and Brandon Tomlin attended lectures
and participated in activities designed to in-
crease awareness of the fragility of natural
resources and our need to care for the envi-
ronment. Highlights of the trip included a
night hike, team building challenge work-
shops, and a visit to a logging site.
A second group of Kohler sophomores
will be attending Trees for Tomorrow in
December. They are Shane Anderson, Lili
Giertz, Kristin Tesmer and Nick Venn.

If you're like most people, you're probably
amazed at how fast the year went by. But
while you've still got a few weeks left in
2006, take the time to consider some year-
end financial moves. Here are a few to
think about:
Review your investment strategies. Your
life can change significantly over the
course of a year. You may have gotten
married or remarried; you might have
had a child or grandchild; you might
have decided to change jobs or open
your own business - the list could go on
and on. And for every single one of these
changes in your life, you very well might
need to change your investment strate-
gies.
Add to your retirement plan. If you have
a 401(k), 403(b) or 457(b), your employ-
er may allow you to make extra contribu-
tions before the end of the year. Since
you typically make these contributions
with "pre-tax" dollars, the more you con-
tribute, the lower your taxable income
may be. And of course, your money
grows on a tax-deferred basis.
Sell off some of your "winners." The
stock market had a pretty good year in
2006, so you may well end up with some
large net capital gains. If that's the case,
you might want to consider selling some
stock to generate a loss before year-end
- a move that could reduce the amount of
tax you pay this year. Keep in mind,
though, that if you do sell stock to gener-
ate a loss, the IRS' "wash sale" rules will
prohibit you from purchasing substantial-
ly similar stock within 30 days before or
after the sale that generated the loss.
Make a charitable gift. By making to a
gift to a charitable organization, you'll
help a group whose work you support -
and you'll also help yourself. You'll get an
immediate tax break for your contribu-
Financial Focus
Consider These Year-end Financial Tips
tion, and, if you give an appreciated
asset, such as stock, you'll avoid hav-
ing to pay the eventual capital gains
taxes when the stock is sold. Plus,
you'll be removing an asset from your
estate, thereby reducing the likelihood
of incurring estate taxes. Before mak-
ing any moves, though, check with
your tax professional.
Put extra money to work. If you have a
large amount of cash to invest, and it's
"sitting around" earning interest, you
might want to shift some of the income
to next year by investing in a short-
term Certificate of Deposit or Treasury
bill that matures in 2007.
"Grade" your investments' perform-
ance. It's a good idea to review your in-
vestment portfolio at least once a year
- and the end of the year is as good a
time as any. As you look over your
year-end statements, ask yourself if
your investments have performed as
you had anticipated. While no one can
predict the future, the best investors
plan for, and often achieve, a certain
rate of return - or at least a return that
lies in a fairly narrow range - each year.
How do they do it? By understanding
their investments - and by choosing a
mix that best reflects their individual
risk tolerance and time horizon. So, if
each year you find yourself "unpleas-
antly surprised" at your portfolio's per-
formance, you probably need to make
some changes.
By taking these steps before 2006 ends,
you just might make 2007 a happy new
year.

Kohler High School
Soccer Player Selected
To Olympic Development
Program
Mark Feltner, a junior at Kohler High
School, was recently selected to be a mem-
ber of the US Youth Soccer Olympic Devel-
opment Program.
The US Youth Soccer
Olympic Development
Program, or ODP as it is
more commonly called,
is a national identifica-
tion and development
program for high-level
players. The program
identifies and develops
youth players throughout
the country to represent their state associa-
tion, region, and the United States in soccer
competition.
ODP teams are formed at the state asso-
ciation and regional levels, made up of the
best players in various age groups. At the
state association level, pools of players are
identified in each eligible age group, and
brought together as a team to develop their
skill through training and competition.
From the state pools and subsequent teams,
players are identified for regional and na-
tional pools and teams.
Players are selected, in most states, on
the basis of open tryouts. These tryouts are
conducted by state association coaches who
are recognized for their ability to identify
and train players with superior skills. Some
state associations combine scouting tech-
niques and invitations to certain players
with the open tryouts.
Players are evaluated on the following
components that make up a soccer player:
* technique
* tactics
* psychological component (attitude)
Upon selection, state association ODP
player are expected to participate in all ac-
tivities of their team. These activities may
include exhibition matches, invitational
tournaments, and sub-regional and regional
camps.
Mark plays midfield for the Kohler High
School boys varsity soccer team and for the

Linck signs National Letter of
Intent with Lewis University
Kohler senior Sami Linck signed a
NCAA National Letter of Intent with Lewis
University on November 8, 2006. The letter
of intent is a binding agreement that guaran-
tees an athlete an athletic scholorship in ex-
change for agreeing to be part of the
school’s athletic program. Once the letter of
intent is signed, all negotiations with other
schools end. Sami will receive a partial tu-
ition waiver from Lewis.
Lewis University, located in Romeoville,
Illinois (just north of Joliet) is a comprehen-
sive university with approximately 5000
students. It is known nationally for its avia-
tion and nursing programs and is a Catholic
LaSallian school. Home of the Lewis Flyers,
the University is a Division II school that is
part of the Great Lakes Conference. Linck
plans on studying ei-
ther social work or ath-
letic training.
Several universities
sought to recruit Linck
due to her first place
standing in the 2006
WIAA Sectionals for
high jump and her
medaling at 4th place
in the high jump at the
2006 WIAA State Track Meet last June.
Linck chose Lewis due to its smaller size
and its emphasis on its track and field pro-
gram.
Sami took 3rd place in the high jump at
the 2006 Badger State games in the Young
Women division. (Her younger sister, Va-
lerie, took 3rd place in the high jump at the
same event in the Midget division).
During the 2006 Sectionals, Linck broke
the Kohler High School girls high jump
record set 31 years ago by Jodi Zimmerman
in 1975, and matched 18 years ago by
Kristi Zimmerman. A week later at state,
Sami beat her own record again and set the
current Kohler High School high jump
record of 5'4".
Linck is on the WIAA 2006 Girls High
School Track & Field Honor Roll and is a
2006 Wisconsin All-State Athlete as listed
by the Wisconsin Track Coaches Associa-
tion.

is Duane DuMez and the jump coach is

It was another success-
ful season for the Wednes-
day night 3rd-6th grade flag
football league. This year
saw a record number of
kids (60) participate in
some exciting games.
Playing under the lights
is always exciting for the
players. Not even the bitter
cold and pouring rain could
deter these kids from play-
ing the game (the
parents/spectators are anoth-
er story).
The teams saved the best
for last. In the battle for 3rd
place, the Packers beat the
Giants 19-12 in a thrilling
overtime game. In the cham-
pionship game, the Eagles
outdueled the defending
champion Chiefs 16-12.
Special thank yous to
Mr. Neerhof and Mr. Dick-
ert for help in refereeing
and Mr. Scheppman for his
play-by-play of the games.
Most importantly,
thanks the Kohler Police
Athletic League (KPAL) for
sponsoring this league with
T-shirts, lights, pizza party,
and medals.
Wednesday nights under the lights
Season of Success
By Laura Fiorini, Secretary of the Kohler
Athletic Booster Club
This past August, Kohler and Sheboygan
Lutheran High Schools made history when
they joined forces as a co-op team in the
WIAA Central Lakeshore Football Confer-
ence. And history it truly was! A success-
ful football season, not necessarily in terms
of wins, but in that two schools were able to
come together with a purpose that would
benefit not only the players, but the two
communities as well.
The Sheboygan Lutheran-Kohler Cru-
saders began the season with the theme
“United with Purpose.” The Kohler High
School boys had the opportunity to once
again bring Friday night football back to
Ebben Field. For the Sheboygan Lutheran
players, it meant the opportunity to not only
strengthen their numbers, but to have a
“home” field of their own. However, the
union of the two teams well surpassed the
initial “purposes” and proved to do so much
more.
The merging of the two programs has
enabled one time opponents to become team
mates and friends. It has brought two
groups of parents together to support their
players and athletic programs. And finally,
it has brought two separate communities to-
gether with a spirit not only of cooperation,
but of camaraderie and respect.
In the spirit of this successful endeavor
as a cooperative team, we'd like to pay trib-
ute to the athletes from Kohler High School,
who were recognized and honored at the
close of the football season.
Michael Knabel, JV Most Valuable Player
Justin Nolan, Varsity, Most Improved Play-
er
Kale Schnettler, Varsity Team Co-Captain,

sive & Defensive Line, and Varsity Most

Congratulations to ALL the players and
managers who made this season one of suc-
cess, and one to remember!

Student selected
to State Honors
Band
The Kohler band department is proud to
announce that Lili Giertz was selected to
perform with the 2006 Wisconsin School
Music Association State Honors Band.
After a rigorous audition in April, Lili was
selected as one of the top high school flutist
throughout the state. Those selected to the
95-piece honors band met in Green Bay in
June and in Madison in October for a series
of all day rehearsals with guest conductor
Dr. Victor Markovich, Director of Bands at
Wichita State University. Lili's culminating
concert was on Thursday, October 26 at the
new Overture Hall in Madison. When asked
about the performance, Lili stated, “the all
day rehearsals were grueling, but to re-
hearse and perform with the best musicians
in the state was well worth it. And to per-
form in the new Overture Hall - that was
amazing!”
Lili is the daughter of Norm and Deb
Giertz. Congratulations Lili!

A series of wonderful per-
formances by the cast and
crew of Grease resulted in a
record turn out for the musical
presented by the Kohler and
Howards Grove High Schools.
The joint production was per-
formed for well over 1700
people over a series of three
outstanding shows.
Paula Anderson, Kohler
resident and frequent actor
with the Village Players said,
“I just thought it was great! I
went to every show, even dur-
ing the snow storm.” Len
Hucke, Kohler teacher said,
“In the 33 years of teaching at
Kohler Public Schools, this is
by far the best performance
Grease is a tremendous success
I've seen.”
The production team would like to thank the stu-
dents, whose acting, playing and singing was ever
so magical, the volunteers who worked behind the
scenes to make the shows run smoothly,
and the community for all the donations
and services rendered. Congratulations to
the entire Grease production!

Snow Emergency
To find out if a snow emergency is in ef-
fect for the Village, call 459-3881 anytime.
There is no parking on village streets dur-
ing a snow emergency. A snow emergency
is called when accumulation is expected to
exceed six inches. Snow emergencies are
typically called from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00
p.m. to give the snowplows an opportunity
to clear the streets with no cars in the way.
Salt
Village residents are welcome to obtain
salt from the containers located at Valley
Road and Upper Road; Church Street and
School Street; and Lower Road and West
Riverside Drive.
Snow Removal
Winter is here. Here are some reminders
on Village snow removal ordinances and
policies.
1. Please remember to shovel your side-
walks within 24 hours after a snowfall
event.
2. Do not blow or shovel snow back into
the street.
3. Please remove vehicles from the street
when the plows are in operation.
Snow Removal Around Mail Kiosks
It is the residents' responsibility to have the
snow removed around the kiosks/NDCBU
(neighborhood delivery and collection box
unit)/cluster boxes. The Postal Service will
not deliver mail if the carrier is not able to
reach the unit - the front as well as the
backside. Someone in the unit/neighbor-
hood needs to take the initiative to remove
the snow; or maybe the responsibility can
be shared within the unit. The Village is
not responsible to keep these areas clear of
snow.
Village Ice Skating Rink
The Village ice skating rink, located on the
grass area east of the pool deck, will be
open daily until 9:00 p.m. as weather per-
mits.
Community Oriented Policing Update
The Kohler Police Department is happy to
say that we were able to provide 350 glow
necklaces to the trick-or-treaters in the Vil-
lage on Halloween night. The glow neck-
laces went fast and many good comments
were received from the residents about this
program. The police department wants
Halloween to be a fun and safe activity for
the families of the Village of Kohler and
this helped that cause. We will be handing
out the glow necklaces again next year.
Driving Conditions
Now that winter is back upon us, we all
have to remember to drive more carefully.
Even though some vehicles seem to handle
better in the snowy conditions, remember
to give yourself more distance between ve-
hicles when stopping. Snow banks can re-
duce visibility, so be aware of pedestrians.
If a vehicle is parked outside, remember to
clear the windows. Proper visibility is ex-
tremely important, especially with children
crossing the streets early in the morning.
Also, remember that getting ready in the
winter takes more time, so to avoid having
to rush, plan ahead.
Snow is on the Way
The Village of Kohler doesn't have winter
parking regulations like many other com-
munities with even and odd parking. That
is typically done so the communities can
completely clear the streets after large
snowstorms over two days. Remember to
move your vehicles after snowstorms so
that the snowplows can clear the piles that
were protected by your parked car the
night before. Also, just a reminder that it is
illegal to blow snow into the Village
streets. Helping out in these areas makes
our streets cleaner and safer during the
winter season.
