The 80th annual Kohler High School
Baccalaureate, Scroll Night and
Commencement ceremony which took
place the week of June 4th through the
11th turned out to be magical.
Each year, a Kohler High School sen-
ior draws the names of four kindergartners
from a hat to serve as escorts of graduates
on Scroll Night. This year, by luck of the
draw, all four kindergarten escorts hap-
pened to have a parent who shared some
things in common – all four kindergart-
ners had parents who graduated from
Kohler High School, grandparents who
attended or graduated from Kohler High
School, and all four kindergartners and their
parents had Mrs. Braatz as a kindergarten
teacher! In fact, David Kohler was a student in
Mrs. Braatz’s very first kindergarten class,
and David’s son, Jack was a student this year
in Mrs. Braatz’s very last kindergarten class as
she has retired. All four kindergarten escorts
this year also had grandparents that attended
or graduated from Kohler, and one kindergart-
ner, Ben Maki, had a great grandmother,
Roberta Maki, who graduated from Kohler.
Congratulations and best of success to the
2006 Kohler High School graduates!

Class of 2006 honored at Honors Night
Over $500,000 awarded to graduating seniors
By McLean Bennett
On May 31, Kohler High School’s class of
2006 gathered in the Kohler Memorial
Theatre to celebrate Honors Night. The cer-
emony is designed to recognize students’
achievements and to award scholarships to
deserving graduates.
Between 2002 and 2005, an average of
$329,873.75 was given away each year on
Honors Night. This year, $570,190 in schol-
arship money was awarded to graduating
seniors, which indicates just how successful
this year’s class of seniors truly was.
This year, a total of 112 scholarships and
awards were given away to graduating sen-
iors. The most valuable scholarship award-
ed this year was the Naval Reserve Officer
Training Corps (NROTC) Scholarship. The
NROTC Scholarship, valued at $150,000,
was presented to Stephen Utschig-Samuels.
The second most valuable scholarship
awarded during the ceremony was the
Elmhurst College Award, valued at $92,400;
it was given to Jamsheed Khodavandi.
Although Samuels and Khodavandi
received an astonishing amount of money, it
was Keenan Wolf and Michael Olmsted
who truly amazed everybody by running
away with a combined total of 22 scholar-
ships—about a fifth of the total number of
scholarships awarded at the ceremony. Not
surprisingly, Keenan received the third most
amount of money this year; her 13 scholar-
ships netted her a total of $64,350.
Olmsted’s 9 scholarships and awards
earned him a total of $34,350. Even more
impressive, however, was his earning of the
highly coveted Herbert V. Kohler
Scholarship, also known as the “HVK”
Scholarship. The HVK Scholarship, which
is valued at $25,000 for students attending
public schools and $50,000 for students
attending private schools, is awarded to one
graduating senior in Sheboygan County
each year. Every high school in the county
is allowed to nominate one student to be
considered for the prestigious award.
A multitude of other valuable awards
were given away at the ceremony as well.
Seven “Kohler Foundation Scholarships,”
with a net value of $95,000, were given
away to several lucky and deserving gradu-
ates. These scholarships included two
$5,000 scholarships, two $10,000 scholar-
ships, two $20,000 scholarships, and one
$25,000 scholarship (the HVK
Scholarship). Students receiving these cov-
eted awards included Jamsheed
Khodavandi ($5,000), Erin Mueller
($5,000), Alexandra DeVries ($10,000),
Amanda Giffin ($10,000), Jamie Beine
($20,000), Keenan Wolf ($20,000), and
Michael Olmsted ($25,000).
Another one of this year’s most highly
coveted prizes was the Katie McClary
Memorial Scholarship, which is only in its
second year of existence. The scholarship
was first given away at last year’s ceremo-
ny to Charles Simon, and was given away
this year to Lindsey Dvorak. The Katie
McClary Memorial Scholarship was intro-
duced as a dedication to Katie McClary, a
1997 graduate of Kohler High School who
died in Durham, North Carolina during a
traffic accident in 2004. Katie’s parents,
John and Patti McClary, established the
scholarship in partnership with Johnson
Bank. During the scholarship-winner’s
first year of college, Johnson Bank con-
tributes $2,500 towards the student’s
expenses. Over the next three years, the
McClary family contributes an additional
$7,500, giving the scholarship a total value
of $10,000.
Four students make an impressive
showing
Although many students received a
number of small awards and scholarships,
several students in particular ran away with
the vast majority of this year’s earnings. In
fact, four students received more than two
thirds of this year’s scholarship money;
Stephen Utschig-Samuels, Jamsheed
Khodavandi, Keenan Wolf, and Jamie
Beine received a combined total of
$384,350. Below is a brief summary of
each student’s earnings.
Stephen Utschig-Samuels
Samuels received a mind-numbing
$157,900 at this year’s ceremony. The
majority of his earnings came by way of his
NROTC Scholarship, but a hefty portion of
his overall earnings came through several
other valuable awards as well. Samuels was
the recipient of the Sheboygan County UW-
Madison Alumni scholarship ($3,200), the
American Legion Prescott-Bayens Post No.
83 scholarship ($1,500), the Sheboygan
Police Benevolent Scholarship ($1,500), the
Sheboygan Service Club scholarship
($1,500), and two $100 awards.
Following graduation, Samuels will con-
tinue his education at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison where he will study
chemical engineering and physics. After
graduating from college, Samuels will serve
in the Navy and pursue a career as either a
Naval officer or a science teacher.
Jamsheed Khodavandi
Khodavandi received the second most
amount of money at this year’s ceremony by
netting a total of $98,500. His largest schol-
arship was the Elmhurst College Award
($92,400), but he also received the Kohler
Incentive Scholarship ($5,000), the Fred and
Frieda Kirkpatrick scholarship ($1,000), and
one $100 award.
Khodavandi plans to attend Elmhurst
College (Ill.) next year where he will study
business and economics. After graduating
from college, Khodavandi hopes to pursue a
career in economics.
Keenan Wolf
Keenan Wolf ran away with 13 scholar-
ships at this year’s ceremony. Her single
most valuable award was the Marquette
Ignatius Scholarship, valued at $36,000.
She also received the Kohler Foundation
Four-Year Scholarship ($20,000), the
Marquette Magis Scholarship ($4,000), the
Elk’s Award ($1,250), the Kiwanis
Scholarship ($1,000), the St. Nicholas
Hospital Auxiliary scholarship ($1,000), the
Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Staff
Family Scholarship ($500), the Kohler
School Friends scholarship ($500), and one
$100 award. When all was said and done,
Keenan pocketed a grand total of $64,350
during the ceremony.
Keenan will attend Marquette University
next year where she will study biomedical
sciences. In the future, she hopes to use her
education to pursue a career as a physician’s
assistant.
Jamie Beine
Jamie Beine was another of this year’s
big winners. During the ceremony, Beine
received 7 scholarships with a net value of
$63,600. Her most valuable award came by
way of the Trustees Distinguished
Scholarship, which was given to her by St.

If you are a baby boomer – born
between 1946 and 1963 – and your par-
ents are still alive, you may want to talk to
them about an important subject: their
plans for leaving a legacy. Their thoughts
on the subject might vary from yours, so, to
avoid misunderstandings that could lead to
hurt feelings – and financial problems – you
will want to make sure now that you are all
"reading from the same script."
Of course, you may not be eagerly antic-
ipating such a conversation. If so, you are
not alone. Your fellow baby boomers and
their parents are not doing a good job dis-
cussing inheritances and other issues
related to "legacies." In fact, fewer than one
in three families have actually had a mean-
ingful discussion on these matters, accord-
ing to a study by Allianz Life Insurance Co.
Once you have this conversation, you
may be surprised at how different your par-
ents' attitudes are from yours. Consider
this: Nearly 40 percent of the elder genera-
tion says it is very important to pass finan-
cial assets or real estate to their children,
but only 10 percent of baby boomers feel
the same, according to the Allianz study.
So it's entirely possible that your parents
own some assets that they want you to
have – and you might not even know about
them.
And it is not "greedy" for you to inquire
about these assets. In the first place, your
parents may feel strongly about leaving
them to you. But just as importantly, if your
parents have not done proper estate plan-
ning, their assets may not be distributed as
they had intended. And unexpected inheri-
tances may also result in unexpected tax
burdens for the recipients.
Consequently, you may want to encour-
Financial Focus
Baby Boomers Need to Avoid the "Legacy Gap"
age your parents to work with an
estate–planning professional to develop
appropriate legal documents, including
the following:
Will – If your parents die intestate –
without a will – their assets might be
distributed by a court. This could
lead to a great deal of problems
within your family.
Living Trust – Even if your parents
have a will, their assets may have to
pass through probate – which can
be time–consuming and expensive.
But with a properly established living
trust, their assets can pass directly
to their beneficiaries, without court
interference, legal fees, lengthy
delays and public disclosure.
Durable General Power of Attorney
– This document allows your parents
to appoint another person to conduct
their business affairs if they become
physically or mentally incapacitated.
In addition, you will want to look over
the beneficiary designations on your par-
ents' life insurance contracts and quali-
fied plans, such as 401(k)s and IRAs. It's
especially important to update these des-
ignations if remarriages and stepchildren
are part of your family picture.
Of course, it's not easy to manage the
estate–planning process. So, in addition
to working with an attorney, you and your
parents may well want to consult with a
tax advisor to make sure everyone's
interests are protected.
Do whatever you can to help your par-
ents leave the legacies they desire. You'll
be doing them a great service – and you
could be taking a large burden off their
minds.

THE KOHLER VILLAGER kohlervillager.com
Last month. The Kohler Villager reported that Kohler
Schools science teacher Dana Krejcarek traveled to
Washington D.C. to accept the 2005 Presidential Award
for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching,
the Nation’s highest honor for teaching in these fields.
On May 31, Ms. Krejcarek attended an awards luncheon
at the Milwaukee Hilton where she was honored with
yet another award, the Great Lakes Regional High
School Teacher Award for 2006 from the American
Chemical Society.
According to Kristene K. Surerus, Special Events
Chair, Great Lakes Regional Meeting 2006, “Several
nominations from the Great Lakes Region were re-
ceived and evaluated on the quality of instruction, abil-
ity to challenge and inspire students, extracurricular
work in chemistry and willingness to keep up to date in
the field.” Krejcarek’s nomination “was quite strong in
all four areas,” which lead the award selection commit-
tee to name her this year's awardee.
Along with the award and a plaque, Krejcarek re-
ceived a copy of the Fundamental of Chemistry Ency-
clopedia.
Another award for Kohler Schools
science teacher
American Chemical Society’s current president, Ann Nalley and Kohler Schools sci-
ence teacher and awardee, Dana Krejcarek.
The Village’s Assessor, Associated Ap-
praisal Consultants Inc., has indicated they
will be starting their property assessment
work in July. An information letter from As-
sociated will be sent out before they begin
completing interior inspections of homes.
Associated personnel will carry a photo iden-
tification tag and a general letter of introduc-
tion/identification from the Village of
Kohler.
Wisconsin Statutes require each munici-
pality to assess property within ten percent of
full value at least once every five years. An
assessment is the value placed upon taxable
real and personal property by the assessor.
This figure determines the portion of the
local property tax levy that the property will
bear. The assessment of properties in all
classes except agricultural should bear a di-
rect relationship to the amount that a typical
purchaser would pay for the property under
ordinary circumstances.
Will taxes go up after the upcoming as-
sessment? According to the Wisconsin De-
partment of Revenue (WDOR), if the total
levy remains the same, only those properties
that are not presently paying their fair share
of the tax burden will pay more taxes after a
revaluation. Properties presently paying
more than their fair share will pay less. The
purpose of any annual assessment, according
to WDOR, is to distribute the tax burden fair-
ly and equitably among the taxable proper-
ties in the municipality in accordance with
the law. The purpose is not to increase taxes.
Tax increases are directly related to the budg-
etary needs of the taxing jurisdictions.

After winning the Central Wisconsin
Conference championship, the Kohler high
school golf team had its sights set on ad-
vancing to the WIAA Division 3 State
Boys' Golf Tournament for the second
straight year and challenging for a state
title. Their quest began with a trip to the
Division 3 sectionals at Quit Qui Oc, where
they shot a season best 310 to beat eight
other teams to advance to the state tourna-
ment. Blue Bomber senior Ryan Peters
carded an even-par 71 to earn medalist
honors.
Kohler boys' golf
team: state
runner-up!
Led by Ryan Peters at 154 and
Michael Leffel at 155, Kohler's two-round
score of 335 at University Ridge near
Madison might have been good enough to
win the title in some years - indeed, the
Blue Bombers topped the third-place team
by 17 strokes - but Osseo-Fairchild's
record setting 320 was too much to over-
come. Nevertheless, the Kohler team,
which also included Mark Kolb, Jon Pe-
ters, and Kale Schnettler, still had an out-
standing season under coach Dirk Willis.

THE KOHLER VILLAGER kohlervillager.com
Wisconsin has been a leader when it
comes to tracking and monitoring sex
offenders. In an ongoing ef-
fort to keep our children safe,
we have launched two new
methods to catch and moni-
tor the most dangerous sex
offenders.
Governor Doyle an-
nounced the launch of "Wis-
consin's Most Wanted Sex
Offenders," a list of the states
most dangerous and elusive
sex offenders who do not
obey Wisconsin's sex offender registry
laws. This new initiative is a part of the
Governor's Sex Offender Apprehension
and Felony Enforcement (SAFE) Initia-
tive.
A group of 15 top law enforcement
leaders from across the state selected
the offenders that appear on the site
based on a set of criteria that includes
the offenders overall criminal history,
seriousness of offense, and history of
complying with registry rules, along
with other factors.
Through this website the public can
access a variety of information about
the sex offender, including the offend-
er's name, a photograph, date the war-
rant was issued for their arrest, and in-
formation on who to contact if the of-
fender is spotted.
The Governor's SAFE Initiative has
already tracked down 610 noncompliant
sex offenders. Since the start of the
SAFE Initiative, sex offender compli-
ance rate in Wisconsin has increased to
89 percent, it was at 82 percent one year
ago. The national average compliance
rate is 76 percent.
Wisconsin's Most Wanted Sex Of-
fender's website is www.mostwanted-
sexoffenders.wi.gov. Citizens with any
information about the whereabouts of
any of the offenders are encouraged to
call their local law enforcement or the
SAFE Tip toll free hotline at (877) 234-
0085 or via email at
[email protected]. The hot-
line is staffed Monday through Friday
between 7:45 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. If there
Sex offender initiatives launched
Now that the 2003-06 legislative term
has come to an official end, I thought it
would be appropriate to reflect
back on the legislative proposals
I have provided leadership on
over the past four years. While
many in the media and the polit-
ical world would like to headline
the disagreements and differ-
ences between the Legislature
and the Governor, I believe it is
important to reflect on all of the
positive legislative initiatives on
which we were able to find
agreement.
I am very pleased with my record of
legislative accomplishments. I strongly
believe my initiatives have been a reflec-
tion of the values and issues of importance
of the residents of the 9th District and our
state as a whole. My focus has been on ini-
tiatives that reduce taxes and control gov-
ernment spending, create an environment
for more jobs and higher incomes, support
families and advance common sense re-
forms for healthcare, education and elec-
tion law.
For a complete listing of each of the ini-
tiatives, readers are encouraged to contact
my office or log on to my legislative web-
page. A few of the highlights include:
Two-Year Property Tax Cap—Ties
property tax increases to economic growth.
Additional increases will need to be ap-
proved by taxpayers via a referendum.
Eliminate the State Tax on Social Secu-
rity Benefits—Eliminate Wisconsin’s tax
on social security benefits. Wisconsin was
one of only 15 states that taxed social secu-
rity benefits.
Permanent Reduction of the State Gas
Tax—Reduce our State’s gas tax and stop
the automatic increase, requiring elected
legislators to vote for any proposed tax in-
crease.
Job Creation Act of 2003—Reform bur-
densome regulatory practices that stifle
economic growth and job creation while
maintaining the integrity of the programs
that ensure our high quality of life.
Wisconsin Advantage Jobs Program—
Provide grants to small businesses through
local technical colleges for the purposes of
(re)training their workforce with the neces-
sary skills to help their business grow.
Enterprise Development Zones—Create
A Productive, Bipartisan Term
Updates From Our State Representatives
is an immediate concern for the safety of a
child you should dial 911.
The Legislature also took an-
other step forward to track sex
offenders by passing Assembly
Bill 591, otherwise known as
Project KidsSafe, which will re-
quire a lifetime of round the
clock GPS monitoring of sex of-
fenders who had sex with a child
under the age of 12 or use threat-
ening force or violence when
molesting a child under 16.
The new law requires some-
one convicted of those crimes to be moni-
tored as a condition of their parole, proba-
tion or extended supervision. If an offend-
er fails to wear or tampers with the GPS de-
vise, law enforcement will be notified and
they will be charged with a Class I felony.
The Department of Corrections (DOC)
may require an offender placed on a GPS
tracking devise to pay a certain amount to-
wards the costs of the program. DOC can
determine how much an offender will pay
based on the person's financial earnings and
potential future earning, as well as any
other factors DOC considers relevant. Esti-
mated costs for an offender would be be-
tween $9 and $10 per day.
Currently over 30 other states have en-
acted global positioning systems to track
criminals on parole. Florida has recently
instituted GPS monitoring for all its high
risk sex offenders. According to the au-
thors of this bill, early reports show that of-
fenders released from prison without GPS
monitoring reoffend 33 percent of the time,
while those with GPS monitoring recom-
mitted a crime only 1.5 percent.
In order to keep sex offenders away
from our children we need to use the latest
technology available before they assault an-
other child. These added programs will
help law enforcement catch those sex of-
fenders who try to become anonymous in
our community.
three new Enterprise Development Zones
(EDZ’s). An EDZ provides tax credits to
businesses that expand and cre-
ate new jobs.
Wisconsin Aerospace Author-
ity—Create a Wisconsin Aero-
space Authority so that federal
funds can be received by the
State for the purpose of develop-
ing a space museum and rocket
launch pad in Sheboygan.
Co-op Care—Reduce the
costs of health insurance for in-
dividuals and businesses by
pooling many individuals together to in-
crease purchasing power.
Medical Malpractice—Reinstate Wis-
consin’s cap on non-economic damage
awards in medical malpractice lawsuits,
thereby providing protection to medical
professionals and patients who are con-
cerned about exploding malpractice insur-
ance costs.
Donation of Umbilical Cord Blood—
Require physicians to inform expectant
mothers of the life-saving benefits of the
donation of umbilical cord blood.
REAL ID—Requires persons applying
for a license or state identification card to
provide documentary proof that they are a
U.S. citizen or are legally present in the
United States.
Protecting Stamp Funds—Restore full
funding to the Turkey Stamp, Waterfowl
Stamp and Great Lakes Trout and Salmon
Stamp funds while fully funding the Fish
and Wildlife Account.
Wildlife Violator Compact—Have Wis-
consin join the 18-state violator compact
which says that if you have a hunting or
fishing violation in any of the compact’s
states, you cannot hunt or fish in any of the
states.
Election Law Reform—A package of ad-
ministrative reform measures aimed at im-
proving Wisconsin’s elections.
Veterans Package—Comprehensive pack-
age of proposals that further enhance our
state’s commitment to those who have put
their lives on the line for our country.

Soliciting without permits: The
Village of Kohler has been expe-
riencing an increase in door-to-
door salespersons soliciting
without first obtaining permits.
The fees for the permits are
nominal, but the important as-
pect is that the Village is aware
of exactly who is soliciting.
Background checks can be run
and only legitimate organiza-
tions are allowed to solicit. If
someone is soliciting legally,
they will not be upset if they are
asked to see their permit. If no
permit has been issued, please
send them on their way and
contact the police department
immediately.
Bike Rodeo: The Bike Rodeo
held on June 10
th
, was a suc-
cess. The event was held in the
Village Hall parking lot with ap-
proximately 55 participants. Offi-
cer Chad Gross did an outstand-
ing job in coordinating the event
this year. Our department re-
ceived a grant from Habush,
Habush & Rottier SC for the
bike helmets that were given
out. The Kohler Police Depart-
ment then provided the partici-
pants with either a cable lock,
halogen light, LED rear light or
an electronic odometer for their
bikes. We appreciate the assis-
tance from Wolf Cycle to make
this a successful event. We all
look forward to doing it again
next year. Pictures of the event

THE KOHLER VILLAGER

The Village of Kohler
Designated As Botanic
Garden Community
The Village of Kohler, the first fully-
developed garden community in the United
States, received botanic garden certifica-
tion from the American Public Garden As-
sociation for promoting display, study and
conservation of plants for public benefit.
As of spring 2006, the Botanical Gardens
of Kohler offers educational programming,
garden tours and related events to its mem-
bers, resort guests and the community as a
new amenity at the Destination Kohler re-
sort.
“The Village of Kohler offers a natural
fit for this accreditation with its many gar-
dens and customized landscaping,” said
Kelly Boeldt, Botanical Garden Event Spe-
cialist. “The accreditation celebrates the
community’s appreciation and enjoyment
of gardening while offering the Village as
a showcase for botanic beauty.”
The seeds for the Botanic Gardens of
Kohler were planted in 1913 when Walter
J. Kohler, Sr. traveled to Europe to study
garden cities. Kohler then worked with the
Olmsted Brothers, designers of Central
Park in New York City, to plan the green
spaces that beautify the Village of Kohler
and Kohler Co. campus for the initial 50-
year master plan. Now in the second 50-
year plan, more than 1000 acres of natural
landscapes and display gardens showcase a
broad spectrum of the flora found in the
Midwest.
The garden collections in the Village of
Kohler include The American Club resort-
hotel including the courtyard gardens, The
Shops at Woodlake Kohler featuring the
Butterfly Garden at the Kohler Gardener,
Village of Kohler Parks, Blackwolf Run
Golf Course, Arts/Industry Walk, Sports
Core Health & Racquet Club, Kohler Wa-
ters Spa, and the Kohler Design Center.
These gardens are available for enjoyment
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a
year and special programming and tours
are available year round. For details on
offerings and membership, visit
DestinationKohler.com or call
920-803-3296.
