Cleanup of upper portion of Sheboygan
River Superfund site completed
Removal of contaminated sediment from
the Sheboygan Falls Dam extending down-
stream four miles to the Waelderhaus Dam
in Kohler was completed by Pollution Risk
Services at the end of October as part of the
Sheboygan River and Harbor Superfund
project.
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency designated Sheboygans harbor and
lower 14 miles of the Sheboygan River, a
tributary to Lake Michigan, as a Superfund
Site in 1985. The same area was also iden-
tified as a Great Lakes Area of Concern
(AOC), labeling it as one of 43 contaminat-
ed sites in the Great Lakes drainage basin.
An Area of Concern is defined as a place
where beneficial uses of water resources
such as drinking, swimming, fishing and
navigation are impaired by anthropogenic
pollution or perturbation.
The cleanup plan issued in May 1999
divided the river into three sections. The
Upper River extends from the Sheboygan
Falls Dam downstream four miles to the
Waelderhaus Dam in Kohler. The Middle
River extends seven miles from the
Waelderhaus Dam to the former Chicago &
Northwestern (C&NW) railroad bridge.
The Lower River extends three miles from
the C&NW Bridge to the Pennsylvania
Avenue Bridge in Sheboygan. The inner
harbor includes the section from the
Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge to the rivers
outlet to the outer harbor.
The most common method of cleanup
involves digging up and removing layers of
polluted mud. After the sediment is
dredged, the mostly liquid material is piped
to an area where it can be separated from
the water. The water then is treated in a
wastewater plant and released back into the
river. The remaining sludge is disposed of
in a licensed landfill designed to hold it.
The floodplain soil along four sections of
the upper river was also polluted by PCBs.
The EPA worked with Kohler Co. to get
access to these four floodplain areas that are
on Kohler property so they could be
cleaned at the same time as the river.
The Kohler Co. Landfill, in operation
since 1950, was also declared a Superfund
site in 1984 after contaminated surface
water runoff was detected. The landfill is
constructed on approximately 40 acres
adjacent to the floodplain of the Sheboygan
River. A perimeter drain was constructed
around the site. The runoff from the drain
carries polluted water to the Sheboygan
Wastewater Treatment Plant and the site
continues to be monitored.
According to a study conducted by the
University of Illinois and the Northeast-
Midwest Institute and released in
September 2006, total residential property
values near the Sheboygan River could
increase by as much as $108 million if con-
tamination in the river and neighboring
land areas were eliminated.
The EPA is negotiating with Tecumseh
Products, Pollution Risk Services, Thomas
Industries, and Kohler Co. for the cleanup of
the middle river, lower river and inner har-
bor.

Theatres new sound system. Until recent-
ly, all productions and events in the theatre
had been forced to use portable sound sys-
tems, which often resulted in poor sound
quality. Abudget was set to purchase a new
sound board, new amplifiers and speakers,
new wiring, and a set of wireless micro-
phones. Fundraising began in April of 2006.
The Kohler Drama Club kicked off the
efforts with a small donation and subse-
quently the Kohler Foundation, the Village
of Kohler and the Kohler School District all
made larger matching contributions. This
past summer, the final matching contribu-
tion was made by the Plymouth Foam
Foundation in loving memory of Scott
New sound system

munity.

Q and U Get Married
Students in Mrs. Neurohrs second grade class
recently participated in a wedding ceremony to help
students remember the letter u always accompanies
the letter q when spelling and reading words.
The English language has many exceptions to the
rules when it comes to letter sounds and Qu is just
one of them. Q needs U to make the phonetic sound.
The wedding ceremony was a novel way to help stu-
dents remember this rule.
Almost all students had a role in the ceremony, from
bridesmaids to ushers and even reporters. Students were
invited to dress as queens or quarterbacks and the
flower girl threw quarters down the aisle. Mrs.
Bartelts class attended, as did many parents and sib-
lings of students. Mrs. Jaberg officiated the ceremony.

NOVEMBER, 2007

This past summer Keenan Wolf, a Kohler grad
who is currently a sophomore at Marquette
University, traveled to remote villages in
Guatemala to help provide medical care as
part of a medical mission trip for the Hearts in
Motion organization. The following are pho-
tos and an excerpt from a letter Keenan sent to
donors to update them on her experiences.
Our trip started out a little rocky because of
weather problems in Houston. We missed our
connecting flight to Guatemala City and had
to spend the night in Houston, but not even
that could dampen our spirits. We left the air-
port the next morning and got into Guatemala
City in the afternoon. From there, we took a
five hour car ride to Zacapa. We got to Hotel
Atlantico around 8:00. Sick of traveling,
exhausted, and a tad bit smelly, we ate quick-
ly and crashed in our rooms.
The first day we went to what is called
The Dump in the village of Teculutan. The
name pretty much describes the location as it
was, in fact, a dump. Unlike dumps in the
United States, however, people actually lived
there and called it their home. These people
were the poorest of the poor, scrounging
through trash to try to find things to sell or col-
lecting recyclables to turn in for a little money.
They built little homes out of whatever they
could find. And the saddest part of it was that
there were so many children living under
these conditions who didnt get to go to school
or live a normal childhood. Instead, they
helped their parents collect garbage and find
food. When we started getting close to The
Dump children came out from everywhere
and started cheering and running after us.
There were huge lines already formed: one
with little boys, one with little girls, and the
other with mothers and their infants. We
unloaded the donated clothes that we would
be handing out, the rice milk baggies that we
prepared, and the sandwiches that we made to
hand out. Most of the group made a barrier
around our area so that people would not just
run through and grab things, while the rest of
us were dubbed Personal Shoppers. We took
the people through one at a time and got them
a sandwich, rice milk, and a set of clothes. It
was so sad seeing all those people who had so
little but were so happy. All the children were
smiling out of the excitement of a new outfit
and a little food. They got even more excited
when we brought out of cameras and took pic-
tures of them. The most rewarding part of this
experience was when a little girl that I had
helped get items for tugged on my arm and
motioned me down to her. She gave me a kiss
on the cheek and just smiled. I wanted to pick
her up and bring here home with me and give
her everything a child should have, but all I
could do was give her a hug and try to hold
back the tears that were welling up in my eyes.
This first experience definitely put this trip
into perspective of how much we were going
to be able to make a difference in these peo-
ples lives. I knew right there that this trip was
going to fulfill all my hopes of being able to
actually make a difference. We had not even
been in the country for 24 hours and we had
already helped hundreds of people!
After we left The Dump, we went to a tiny
village about an hour away called Huite. Here,
we would set up our first clinic and store. The
villages that we would be going to the follow-
ing days were not as impoverished as The
Dump, so Hearts in Motion set up a store of
clothing and toys to sell. All the money they
make goes back to the village to help fund
schools and other such places. I was put in
charge of the store in this village because I
was able to speak English and Spanish. I did
my best to work with those
from the village who were
supposed to help out with
the store, but I probably
should have brushed up a
little more on my Spanish
before going to a country
where very few people
spoke English. There was
definitely a language bar-
rier, however, we were
able to all work together
and keep things running
smoothly. We had to let
people in five at a time for
five minutes because of
the mob that was trying to
push through the door. It
was a lot of work, but
everyone ended up getting everything that
they needed. After we were done with the
store, I played with the kids of the village. I
was throwing a baseball around with some of
the boys and all of a sudden, they all ran away.
I was a little confused, but they returned short-
ly after and all had baseballs that they asked
me to sign. I was rather flattered and had my
fifteen minutes of fame as a Guatemalan
celebrity.
The next day we traveled an hour and a
half up into the mountains to a tiny village
named San Mateo. I helped out in the dental
clinic and also played with the kids in the vil-
lage. In the dental clinic, we had to make a
sign on the chalkboard telling them the basics
of taking care of their teeth. They dont under-
stand that soda and sweets are bad for their
teeth because soda is cheaper than clean
water, so thats what they drink. I also did a
demonstration for the kids on how to brush
your teeth. We gave them all cepillos (tooth-
brushes) to practice brushing their teeth before
they were seen in the clinic. Once they visited
the clinic, they received pasta (toothpaste) so
that they would be able to take care of their
teeth even after we left. This village had a lot
of kids who needed to be entertained while
their parents were in line for the clinic, so we
got them together and tried teaching them
some American games such as tag, Simon
says, and London Bridge. They didnt quite
grasp the concepts of these games and they
tended to just turn into a game where every-
one chased the gringas (white girls). A group
of little girls pulled me and my friend Christie
aside and started to show us one of their
games. It was called Luna y Sol and was sim-
ilar to London Bridge, but instead of letting
the person go, they chose a side of those who
were making the bridge. At the end, all the
kids started pulling on our waists and it turned
into a giant tug of war. We had a lot of fun
learning more of their games the rest of the
afternoon. It was sad when we had to leave
because all the kids were asking when we
were going to come back and play with them.
All I could tell them was that some of my
friends would be coming in a month to play
with them. It was heartbreaking to think that I
would most likely never see any of these kids
again, but at least we helped them for this one
day and we made a difference.
The following day we went to the village of
San Paublo, which was the opposite way from
the mountain. I helped out in the medical clin-
ic this day helping translate, getting medica-
tions, and also helping with the eye tests. We
didnt have a surgeon this week, but we did
have a nurse practitioner, physicians assis-
tant, an ER physician, and an ophthalmolo-
gist. We had tons of donated medications and
vitamins and tried to give any relief to any suf-
fering that we could. We also handed out vita-
mins to everyone for their family. I saw a lot
of people suffering from malnutrition, worms,
and various skin conditions. It was sad that we
could only offer them temporary relief, but
that was better than nothing. These people
would have a days journey just to get to a
medical facility, so any relief we could give
them was greatly appreciated. We also had
hundreds of donated glasses as well, and I was
able to help hand out glasses as we did eye
tests. For some reason, this village had a lot
more people than usual who just wanted a pair
of glasses so that they could read. The line for
getting glasses became longer than the med-
ical line and after a while everyone in the
medical clinic was helping hand out glasses.
These people were so excited that they were
able to see clearly. They really helped open
my eyes to all the little things in my life that I
take for granted, such as the simple ability to
put in contacts in the morning and see the
world clearly.
The next day I was sent to construction
because they needed everyone they could to
help out with the building of a nutrition center.
This nutrition center was in the village of
Gualan and would serve as a free educational
center for proper nutrition among other pur-
poses. We built it from the ground up and by
the time I got there, they were already putting
up the walls. Our task of the day was to dig
enough dirt to level the floors. It was the
hottest day and the temperature averaged
around 100 as we dug under the blazing sun.
Though the day was the hardest as far as phys-
ically demanding, it was still rewarding to
think that we were helping these people not
only temporarily, but for the rest of their lives.
We take our health and proper nutrition
for granted in this country. To these
people, it is a day to day struggle just to
keep themselves properly nourished. I
think I learned to be a little bit more
appreciative of the food I have avail-
able to me and not be so wasteful with
it.
For the last day of clinics we were
located in another mountain village
called Jones. This was a really sad little
village where the people had a lot of
deformities and other problems from
inbreeding. There were tons of kids
who had Downs Syndrome and other
types of mental retardation. There were
also a lot of people who had missing
arms, legs, or fingers. What made it even
worse was that I was in the dental clinic var-
nishing that day. Along with all their other
problems, many of the kids had a mouth full
of rotten teeth. The dentist would pull out
those that were infected or causing them pain.
Many had infections that had spread past their
mouths into their nasal cavities, lungs, and
possibly heart. In America, we also take our
dental health for granted. We just try to keep
them free of cavities and bleach them so that
they are cosmetically appealing. These kids
arent even able to keep their teeth free of
infections and many of them will end up with
serious health problems because of their den-
tal health. Not to mention they will not have
many healthy teeth left by the time they are
adults. Many of the kids we saw didnt even
know what a dentist was or what we were
doing to their teeth. What amazed me was that
when they had to get teeth extracted, they only
had a local anesthetic that oftentimes did not
even help with the pain from the deep infec-
tions. These kids just laid there with tears
streaming down their face because of how
much pain they were in, but they did not yell,
or kick, or scream like a lot of kids do here in
America (even though they are completely
numb). They knew that the dentist was help-
ing them and thats all that mattered. They
were so excited to get a toothbrush and tooth-
paste that they hardly paid attention to the lit-
tle toy they received as well. Once again, its
those little things that we take for granted that
an experience like this really makes you aware
of.
After our last clinical day, we got to have
some time to relax and have some fun in
Guatemala. I got to experience the thrill of
jumping off a 30 foot cliff into a waterfall,
shop at the market in downtown Antigua, and
climb a volcano. As if the experience of get-
ting to help all those people wasnt rewarding
enough, I had an amazing time doing things I
never thought I would do in my lifetime.
I got so much out of this trip that I cant
even express how thankful I am that you
helped make it possible. This trip wiped away
any doubt in my mind that the medical field
might not be where I belong. I know that
being able to help people on a day to day basis
is what will make me happy. I cant wait until
I can go back and do more trips like this as a
PA and really be able to help these people. I
also came to appreciate the things I have in my
life that I often take for granted. I have a deep-
er appreciation for my health, my home, my
family and friends. Not everyone has these
things that we see as the necessities of life.
Finally, I will always treasure the memories I
shared with all the children in Guatemala as
well as others that I met along the way. For
people that have so little, they are so warm,
loving, and appreciative for everything. Even
though I went to help them, I feel like I gained
so much more from them in teaching me
whats really important in life. And the satis-
faction of being able to do something to make
a difference in their lives is so fulfilling. I
know this will not be the last of my mission
trips. Im already looking into possibly going
to Honduras next semester through Marquette.
I recommend medical missions to anyone. It
was the trip of a lifetime and one I will never
forget.

The Board of Education has instituted a new home-
work policy in response to parental concerns rising
during the Strategic Planning process. All parents will
receive a copy of the policy at Parent Conferences
held on November 13th, 15th, and 16th.
The policy includes homework time guidelines and
procedures to help families if their child is exceeding
the time guidelines as compared to their peers. It also
prohibits assignments or tests bring held the first day
upon returning from a school scheduled break and it
limits the amount of tests that can be given on the
same day other than during finals.

Kohler High School Principal Lance Northey is
proud to announce that the Class of 2007 scored a
cumulative ACT score of 26.2. This is the second
highest ACT score in the past 11 years that the District
has been tracking the score. The State of Wisconsin
average was 22.3. The Class of 1998 scored a 26.6.
The ACT is used for college entrance and is an indi-
cator of potential for college success.
Mr. Northey stated, "I am extremely proud of our
students and staff as we continue to have tremendous
results in this outcome indicator. It takes a complete
cooperative effort of our staff and students in correla-
tion with parents and the community to get these kind
of results." Northey added, "With these results, the
Class of 2007 has set the bar high for successive
classes."
The District is currently researching where the
score placed when compared to all State of Wisconsin
high schools. With roughly 500 high schools in the
State of Wisconsin, Kohler always scores in the top 10
high schools in the state. Watch for more information
on that placement in future Kohler Times.

A measure of accountability for schools and districts.
Our state testing window will be from November 1-15
th
, 2007.
During this time period, please encourage students to attend school, get enough rest and come to school with breakfast.
The WKCE-CRT test results give only certain kinds of information about student achievement. To obtain a more complete
picture, daily class work, other test results (NWEATest), homework, and other learning activities need to be considered.
Sample questions can be accessed at: http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/dpi/oea/profitem.htm.

Counselors Corner
Student Services continues to be a hub of activity. 10
th
graders will be taking the
PLAN (pre-ACT) on November 14th. Materials were distributed to them on October
29th. Seniors are still working on sending out post-secondary school applications and
should be finishing this process soon. We have had several students already receive
acceptance letters yeah! Now they need to focus on scholarship applications. Our
Elementary Students have been busy wrapping up our 2
nd
Unit: Growing as a Group
which dealt with using interpersonal 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 pos-
itive and responsible decisions and saying No to harmful ones. Hopefully, by now all
parents 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.
On November 13
th
all Kohler students were asked to participate in Mix It Up at
Lunch Day. This is a national event and is a simple call to action for students to step
out of their comfort zones to meet new people in the school cafeteria. Students in
grades Kindergarten through 12
th
were assigned to a table as they came into lunch.
At the table they had the opportunity to meet and talk with other students they might
not otherwise get to know.
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).
Reminder to all seniors who are still working on post-secondary school applications
or scholarship applications the guidance office will not be open over the holiday
break. If a student needs a transcript or to have forms signed they should take care
of this BEFORE December 22
nd
in order to meet the end of the year deadlines. Mrs.
Multer and Mrs. Anderson are not in the office over the holidays.

NOVEMBER, 2007

As we begin another year, it is once again time to review the procedures for school clos-
ings 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 class-
mate? 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 chil-
dren wanting to call home/work to find out where to go seriously delays the entire closing
process. Please make sure your arrangements are made 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 transporta-
tion plans. All closing announcements or early dismissals will be made on the following
area radio stations:
RADIO STATIONS
WHBL (1330 AM) includes WWJR (106.5 FM &
WBFM (93.7 FM); WSTM (91.3 FM) WLKN (98.1).

support our numerous athletic teams.
The November agenda includes: Athletic Parent Nights-role of club,
Athletic Recognition Banquets-role of club, Fundraising- sportswear

Texas Childrens Hospital dietitian shares
Thanksgiving snacking strategies
HOUSTON (Nov. 12, 2003) It happens every year. Just when the avalanche of Halloween candy has
almost vanished, Thanksgiving ushers in another snacking frenzy.
There are ways for kids to survive and even thrive during the holidays, says Judy Bradicich, a reg-
istered dietitian in the Wellness Center at Texas Childrens Hospital, who offers the following strategies for
parents:
Serve smaller helpings to avoid indigestion and wasted food. For instance, instead of a full portion
of several desserts, divide dessert choices into one-third to one-half of the normal amount. When
placed together, the servings should equal about the size of a normal portion.
Encourage healthy eating with eye appeal. Homemade trail mix, packaged in a holiday-themed plas-
tic sandwich bag or tied with ribbons, can rival a sugary snack.
Use color to jazz up the dinner plate. Balance browns, such as turkey and dressing, with colorful veg-
etables and fruits.
Use an imaginary character. For example create a, Thanksgiving Fairy to exchange leftover holiday
candy for a special treat, such as a movie ticket, CD or a trip to the park. Choose treats that promote
activity.
Let children assist in the preparation of healthy holiday recipes. Children
who assist in the preparation are more likely to try their healthy creation. The
experience will create memories and may even become a cherished tradition.

Our Town
opening
November 9
KHS students are putting the finishing touch-
es on their production of Thorton Wilder's
beloved play, OUR TOWN. The play, set in the
fictional town of Grover's Corners, follows the
lives of George Gibbs and Emily Webb as they
grow-up, fall in love, and get married. The play
reminds us to slow down and appreciate the
smaller moments in life, says director Peggy
Hoffmann. It's the perfect antidote for our busy
world and a play the entire family will enjoy.
The play will run November 9-11. General
admission tickets are $5.00 in advance and
$6.00 at the door and are available in the school
office.
6th GRADERS ALL WET !
By Mr. Bayens
No, not in a dunk tank or swimming pool,
but at the Outdoor Skills Center Wetland
Ecology Program. Again this year Mr.
Bayens and Mr Hucke took the 6th graders
on their annual two day visit to the
Sheboygan Marsh. The students were led by
instructors Sarah and Jeremiah to not just
learn about the importance of wetlands, but
to actually experience them.
The 6th graders experienced the wetlands
by doing a silent sit and recording their
experiences through words and pictures.
Truly a hands-on experience, the students
examined the marsh soil by smelling and
feeling the soil, identifying decaying material
and squeezing water out of it. The students
also hunted for critters in the marsh itself
and identified what they found. They recog-
nized that there is more to the marsh than
frogs and birds, like red-tailed maggots to
name one.
The highlight of the field trip is the canoe-
ing experience out on the marsh. Students
not only learn the function of a marsh but
also learn cooperation and teamwork in
manipulating their canoes, often through
some tight and windy conditions. Each day
also included games led by the instructors to
show the relationship that the wetlands have
to the wildlife that lives there. Some of the
games included Fish and Critters (predator
and prey), and the States Game (the loss of
wetlands). Students also learned the impor-
tance of the French fur trade and its impact
on Wisconsin Wetlands.
With the cooperation of the weather (tem-
peratures in the 70's and 80's) the students
had an awesome two day field trip ... the
classroom in the marsh. Several students
remarked it was the best field trip they had
ever been on.

be obtained from the Police Department
just by stopping in. For those who have
already obtained one in 2007, another can
be obtained starting in 2008. In addition to
the Masterlock trigger locks provided for
by the Kohler Police Department, a federal

locks are the cable lock variety and anyone
may request up to three of these for their
guns too.
FROM PUBLIC WORKS SUPERIN-
TENDENT BRUCE NEERHOF
Leaf Collection
Leaf collection will continue until
December 7. Leaves should be raked into
the street along the curb in a three- foot
(3) wide row. No grass clippings, sticks,
or other garden debris are allowed. The
Public Works Department follows a sched-
ule for leaf collection. The collection starts
on the south end of the village where the
trees are more mature and produce more
leaves. The route continues to the west and
north sections of the Village. During the
last part of October and early part of
November we may only be able to get
through the Village once a week and can-
not make exceptions since this will affect
the collection schedule. A second leaf vac-
uum machine will be used during the heav-
iest weeks of the season.
Snow Emergency
To find out if a snow emergency is in
effect for the Village, call 459-3881 any-
time, or watch Kohler Cable Channel 20.
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 AM until 12:00
PM to give the snowplows an opportunity
to clear the streets with no cars in the way.
Snow Removal
Winter is nearly upon us. Here are some
reminders on Village snow removal ordi-
nances 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.

How to contact us
The Kohler Police Department has police
patrols on-duty 24 hours a day. However,
the office is only open Monday-Friday
from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. If you need to
contact our department, call 459-3877. If
no one answers, you will be given menu
options. Option #1 is to have an officer
dispatched; this connects the caller with
the Sheboygan County Sheriffs Dispatch.
I urge anyone who calls about an active
incident, suspicion complaint, theft com-
plaint, etc. to choose this option. We do
have an officer on duty, option #2 is if you
would like the officers to be aware of
something that isnt urgent. The officers
periodically check that message through-
out their shifts. If you have an emergency,
please call 911, as that is the fastest way to
be connected with the emergency dispatch-
er.
School Crossing Guards
The Kohler Police Department has two
very dependable and dedicated crossing
guards who 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 who are going straight home to do
so before the crossing guards are done
with their shifts. If anyone has a question
on the time intervals, please contact the
