Public hearing for Village
water rate increase
Ordinance considered to regulate
potential cell towers within Village
By Kevin Struck, University of Wisconsin-Extension
In August the Village of Kohler Plan
Commission will consider a recommenda-
tion for the adoption of the Villages very
first ordinance to regulate wireless commu-
nication facilities (e.g., cell towers). If the
recommendation is approved, the ordinance
will be considered at a subsequent Village
Board meeting for final action. The pro-
posed 30-page comprehensive ordinance is
being provided by The Center of Municipal
Solutions, a consultant, at no charge to the
Village. The company's revenues come
from fees charged to the builders of wireless
communication facilities as part of the per-
mitting process.
In addition to basic requirements for the
application process, public hearing, and
other items, the proposed ordinance places a
strong emphasis on the physical appearance
of any wireless communication facility. In
an effort to ensure that visual impacts on the
Village are minimized, the proposed ordi-
nance contains the following provisions:
Wireless communication facilities would
only be allowed in areas of the Village
zoned Industrial.
A site plan is required.
Applicants are encouraged, wherever
possible, to use stealth technology to
minimize adverse aesthetic and visual
impacts. (This refers to camouflaging the
facilities to blend in with surrounding
structures or vegetation.)
In lieu of building new facilities, appli-
cants must locate new antennas on exist-
ing towers or existing structures, or show
detailed evidence why co-location is not
feasible.
Applicants are required to hold a bal-
loon test to demonstrate the height and
location of a proposed tower.
Applicants must provide a Visual Impact
Assessment, which includes a Zone of
Visibility Map and photo simulations of
before and after views.
Towers shall not be artificially lighted or
marked, except as required by law.
Signage cannot exceed four square feet
in size.
Abandoned facilities are required to be
removed in a timely fashion and the site
restored to its original condition.
In the past, wireless communication
facilities have not been allowed in any of
the Village's zoning districts. The Federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996 allows
local communities to regulate the placement
of personal wireless facilities, such as cellu-
lar antennas, within the community.
However, outright bans of personal wireless
facilities are not allowed. The Village,
therefore, needs to make some provision for
the siting of necessary facilities.
The Plan Commission meets on August
2 at 5:00 p.m. at the Village Hall and the
meeting is open to the public.
The Village of Kohler
Municipal Water Utility has
filed an application with the
Public Service Commission
of Wisconsin (PSCW) to
increase water rates. This
rate adjustment is necessary
due to an increased operation
and maintenance expense of
22% and an increase in the gross plant
investment of 42% since the last full rate
case in 1999.
The total increase in water revenues
requested is $73,296, which will result in
an estimated overall rate adjustment of
13% over the water utilitys present rev-
enues. If the request is granted, the water
bill for an average residential cus-
tomer with a 5/8-inch meter
who uses 2,500 cubic feet of
water per quarter will
increase from $49.18 to
$50.75 or 3%.
A telephonic public
hearing on the application has been sched-
uled for Tuesday, August 7, 2007, at 10:00
a.m. at the Village Hall. Questions regard-
ing the hearing may be directed to the
PSCWat 608-266-3766.
Copies of the application and support-
ing documentation are available for
review at the utility office. If you have any
questions, please contact the utility office
at 920-459-3873.
New regulations considered
for short-termrentals
Due to questions raised and a need for
additional information and possible
changes, the Village of Kohler Plan
Commission tabled a recommendation for
approval of an ordinance amending
Chapters 20.12 and 20.40 of the Municipal
Code. The amendment would prohibit bed-
and-breakfasts, boardinghouses, and vaca-
tion rentals in the Residential District.
Vacation rentals would be defined in the
Code as any residence, dwelling, or simi-
lar structure leased, rented, sublet,
exchanged, swapped, or traded to tourists
or transients on a short-term basis (periods
of less than 90 consecutive days except for
one period lasting not more than 14 days in
any calendar year. Definitions were also
proposed for bed-and-breakfasts and
boardinghouses.
If the recommendation is approved, the
ordinance will be considered at a subse-
quent Village Board meeting for final
action. The Plan Commission meets on
August 2 at 5:00 p.m. at the Village Hall
and the meeting is open to the public.

Farmers market returns
to Kohler for second year
Residents respond to fresh produce, opportunity to support local growers
By McLean Bennett
Despite temperatures that reached into
the low seventies on June 29, 69-year-old
Ron Rozum found himself sitting comfort-
ably under the shade of a tent in the
Woodlake parking lot.
Rozum, along with about five other
regional farmers, took part that Friday in the
second annual series of farmers markets
hosted by the Shops at Woodlake. The mar-
ket is one of three farmers markets in the
Sheboygan area that are sponsored by the
Sheboygan County Interfaith Organization
(SCIO), a non-profit group of about 30 area
churches.
I think a farmers market creates a gath-
ering area in the community, said Dena
Adamson, general manager of the Shops at
Woodlake. Its nice to be able to interface
with the farmers who grew the food.
Rozum, a life-long resident of
Kellnersville, said the lure of the market is
the freshness of the produce not the
prices. He said the prices offered at the
farmers market arent necessarily lower
than prices offered at a grocery store, but
that the produce sold at the market is much
fresher.
This is fresher than what youre going to
get in a grocery store, Rozum said of the
produce at the market. What you get in a
grocery store a lot of times is a week or a
week and a half old.
This was all picked yesterday, Rozum
added, pointing to his table-top covered in
squash, peas and strawberries.
Jerry and Judy Konik, residents of
Sheboygan Falls, meandered through the
market June 29 and echoed many of
Rozums and Adamsons statements.
We like to support local people when we
can, and so we try to get to the farmers
market as often as we can, Judy Konik
said. The local farmers need an outlet for
their products, and were the logical ones.
Why not keep it local.
And though the Koniks described
Kohlers market as nice and said they
would likely return, they said they usually
shop at the larger farmers market in
Sheboygan.
Judy Tauschek, who helped organize the
farmers market June 29 in Kohler, said this
summer marks only the second year in
which the SCIO has sponsored farmers
markets in both Kohler and Plymouth. In
contrast, she said the SCIO has been spon-
soring a farmers market in Sheboygan for
about 20 years.
Despite the fact that Kohlers market is in
its infancy, Tauschek said she has already
seen growth in the market and said commu-
nity turnout has been better this year than
last year.
Adamson echoed some of Tauscheks
comments and said it has taken time for
Kohler residents to become acquainted with
the weekly farmers market.
I think it takes a long time for people
living in a community to know when some-
thing new is happening, Adamson said.
This year, we went the extra step and we
delivered flyers house to house through the
Village of Kohler so that everyone had a
closer understanding of the times of the
farmers market.
According to a flyer available at the
Shops at Woodlake, the farmers market
will appear 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Fridays
through Oct. 5. Tauschek added Plymouths
market takes place Wednesday afternoons
in Plymouths City Park. Sheboygans mar-
ket takes place Wednesday and Saturday
afternoons in Fountain Park and will run
through the end of October, she said.
Adamson said she hopes more vendors
will participate in Kohlers market, and
encouraged residents to visit the market.
Its beautiful here at the Shops at
Woodlake all the greenery is lush and full
and beautiful, she said. Its a perfect set-
ting for a farmers market.

Kohler Foundation announces
2007-2008 Distinguished Guest
Series season
Kohler Foundations Distinguished
Guest Series brings an exceptional array of
music and drama to the local stage, and this
year's season's promises to be among the
best. For over 60 years, The Distinguished
Guest Series has delivered world class
entertainment at reasonable prices.
The season opens on October 7 with the
internationally known MOMIX. Momix is
a company of dancer-illusionists who has
been celebrated for its ability to conjure up
a world of surrealistic images using props,
light, shadow, humor, and the human body.
MOMIX
Sunday, October, 2007 at 7:00 p.m.
www.momix.com
With a spectacular blend of physical
theatre, circus, athleticism, and comedy,
MOMIX has thrilled fans in over 22 coun-
tries from the United States to Argentina,
Russia, France, Singapore, Australia, and
more. This talented company of dancer-
illusionists transports audiences from their
everyday lives to a fantasy world through
its trademarked use of magical lighting and
imagery.
Artistic Director of the company and
choreographer of most of the pieces, Moses
Pendelton shows a keen sense of physics,
not only of body movement and form but
also of light, space and depth of space.
Some of the illusions are simplicity itself;
some are full of poetic suggestion; and
some evoke a shimmering physical reality.
Dancers glow in the dark and vanish
back into it. They tilt at precarious angles
and walk, swim, sit and float on the air in
yoga-like meditation postures. Ordinary
concepts of weight are constantly defied.
Dancers bound about without touching the
floor, or if they do, they instantly bounce
heavenward again. Scurrying creatures
appear to be nothing but legs. Body parts
miraculously detach themselves and
reassemble. Waving arms become bird
winds. Shapes zip in and out as if on celes-
tial skateboards.
MOMIX combines athletic dance, rivet-
ing music, outrageous costumes, inventive
props, and pure talent for an entertaining
multi-media experience unlike anything
you've ever seen.
The Intergalactic Nemesis performed by
Salvage Vanguard Theater
Saturday, March 1, 2008 @ 7:00 p.m.
www.intergalacticnemesis.com
Winners of dozens of awards for their
creative work, and recipients of Theatre
Communications Groups prestigious New
Generations grant, Salvage Vanguard
Theater has created a family friendly,
hip/geek live radio serial that wows audi-
ences from eight to eighty.
Five microphones stand before a plat-
form littered with household gadgets rang-
ing from a bucket of mud to a vacuum
cleaner. Upstage hangs a retro-style back-
drop, part comic book, part World War II
propaganda. With great writing, original
music, live sound effects, and a group of tal-
ented actors who play dozens of characters,
all of the elements come together before
your eyes as the audience joins the fun.
The story is set in 1933, when Ben
Wilcott has traveled back in time from 2115
to warn the world of impending disaster.
Ben solicits the help of ace report Molly
Sloan to ward off an invasion of alien
sludge monsters. Together they travel
across the globe and ultimately to the Robot
Planet in another galaxy to save the day. Its
Star Wars meets Raiders of the Lost Ark
with a little of The Incredibles thrown in for
good measure.
The spectacle lies in the power of the
audiences imagination!

Sheboygan, July 18, 2007 The Kohler
School Foundation Board of Directors is
proud to announce acceptance of a funding
proposal presented by Wendy Nasgovitz,
Kohler School Technology Coordinator.
Ms. Nasgovitz proposal requested
funding for two enhancements to the
Technology offerings at the school: a wire-
less mobile lab with thirty wireless laptop
computers; and seven ceiling mounted
classroom projection units.
The wireless mobile lab will provide a
new resource to the school, allowing an
entire class of students to work simultane-
ously on computers in their classroom. The
laptop computers will be housed on a
rolling wireless mobile cart that can be
moved to any location in the school. Since
it can be brought to the students, it provides
a great deal of flexibility for the users. The
wireless laptop units will enable teachers
and students to explore the Internet,
research collaboratively, write papers, or
create presentations; the possibilities are
endless for the students. The wireless
mobile cart and laptops will serve as an
excellent resource for the elementary key-
boarding classes as well as help meet the
heavy computing demands of the entire dis-
trict.
The ceiling mounted projectors will
service grades 2, 4, 5 and 6 in the grade
school. In addition two projectors are des-
ignated for the middle school level and one
for the high school level in the High School
English room. The projection systems will
not only enhance the existing curriculum,
but will allow for differentiated instruction
by the enhancement of visual articulation of
lecture materials. Each classroom equipped
with this system will be a fully functional
multimedia center and will enhance long-
term learning.
Established in 1997, the Kohler School
Foundation exists to take the Kohler School
experience beyond the basics of public edu-
cation. To date, allocations from the
Foundation have funded math and reading
computer software, a major contribution
toward the technical educations computer
assisted design system, and new playground
equipment. In 2002, the Foundation initiat-
ed an annual scholarship to a graduating
Kohler High School student.
To keep up with advances in technology
and to maintain a progressive curriculum,
Kohler school needs a steady and reliable
source of revenue separate from the restrict-
ed and often challenged public funding.
Benefits from the Kohler School
Foundation help the school continue its tra-
dition of excellence.

can support Kohler School through the

Policy Change New Way to
Enter Elementary School
By Susan Jaberg, Elementary School Principal
Do you remember the old adage from your grandpar-
ents that says, An ounce of prevention equals a pound of
cure? In that light, you'll want to be aware of a new poli-
cy that begins with the start of this new school year in
September.
Based on information gleaned from past parent listen-
ing sessions, calls from concerned parents, discussions
with our local police personnel, and incidents from other
school districts, it is readily apparent that the issue of
enhanced student security for our elementary school stu-
dents be addressed beyond our current standards.
Specifically, we reviewed the observation that the ele-
mentary school may have some vulnerabilities based on the
number and locations of entrance doors that allow for
undetected persons to enter our elementary school. Some
of these entrance doors are out of range of surveillance
cameras and are not consistently monitored.
To address the concerns of many and risk the inconven-
ience of a few, a new policy was been established that calls
for ALL Elementary School students, parents, and visitors
to enter the school from only one entrance door, that being
the MAIN ENTRANCE off the main parking lot at Upper
Road. All other doors will be LOCKED and not accessible.
To aid this situation, the two doors adjacent to the elemen-
tary playground will be opened and monitored by school
aides dressed in bright orange vests 10 minutes prior to the
start of school and 10 minutes after the conclusion of the
school day.
Parents are always welcomed to escort their elementary
school children to the classroom, but of course must enter
from the main entrance or the two monitored playground
door entrances. During inclement weather days, students
are welcomed to enter the Main Entrance and wait and
congregate in front of the Elementary School Office area.

5TH GRADE
Human Growth and Development Instruction
Human Growth and Development Instruction refers to the
process of growth of intellectual, physical, social, and psychological
phases of human relations as they apply to female/male relationships.
A brief overview of the K-6 program is printed in the elementary
handbook, and in the course offerings booklet for grades 7-12.
Course outlines and objectives for all K-12 classes are available at
Registration Day.
Instructors of courses in grades 7-12 provide students with brief
course outlines and objectives at the beginning of each year of
semester. The complete K-12 curriculum may be obtained on-line at
our school website or from the principal at your child's grade level.
Parents who have specific questions about grade level resources
are urged to contact the individual classroom teachers who use them.
The classroom teacher can explain how and when the content will be
covered. Formal parent meetings, with invitations also sent to mem-
bers of the local clergy to attend, are held at the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th
grade levels to promote greater knowledge of the program and to
enhance parent-child commu-nication about the subject matter being
taught at those grade levels. No pupil will be required to take instruc-
tion in this program/curriculum if the pupil's parent(s) files a written
request for exemption with the teacher or school principal.

New Prairie Crossing
holds open house
On June 22 over 500 guests had the first
look at the Prairie Crossing apartment com-
plex in Sheboygan Falls during the open
house.
Addressing the group during the dedica-
tion were Jeff Jenkins, Administrator of
Pine Haven Christian Home, and Jan
Scholke, Director of Prairie Crossing.
Reverend Stan Seagren of Hope Reformed
Church in Sheboygan, who is also a Pine
Haven foundation board member, gave the
prayer of blessing for residents, guests, and
the staff who will serve them. Jim Waech,
current Chairman of the Pine Haven Board
of Directors, detailed that this is the seventh
building project Pine Haven has undertaken
in the 57-year history and that the board is
already planning for future development.
Nancy Verstrate, Executive Director of
Sheboygan Falls Chamber Main Street,
thanked the organization for building
Prairie Crossing and expressed that the city
has become known for the respect and dig-
nity they show for the senior community
and Pine Haven has been a foundation of
that. She observed that the development
couldnt be more inspiring or be in a more
peaceful location.
Other dignitaries at the dedication were
Dan Lemahieu, a state assemblyman from
the Oostburg area; Dewey Glancy, a
Sheboygan Falls alderman; and current and
previous members of the board of directors
of Pine Haven.
Prairie Crossing, a 40-unit assisted liv-
ing apartment complex in a senior commu-
nity, is now open for residency. Four apart-
ment sizes ranging from 542 to 960 square
feet are available and each include a full
kitchen. Monthly services, including daily
meals, are provided and residents can cus-
tomize any additional services they desire.

Providing a real three-year prop-
erty tax cap;
Allowing for the tax deductibility of
contributions to Health Savings
Accounts;
Cutting the Real Estate Transfer
Tax by 66 percent; and
Expanding Angel Investment Tax
Credits to attract more venture
capital investment to our state.
Due to the dramatic differ-
ences between the propos-
als passed by the Senate
Democrats and the
Assembly Republicans, a
Conference Committee
between the two houses will
now convene to iron out the
disagreements and come to
a compromise.
The budget that I was able
to build along with
Republicans in the State
Assembly provides a stark contract
with the proposals advanced by
Senate Democrats and Governor
Doyle. Our state now lies at a critical
crossroads where two distinct visions
for Wisconsin are emerging and citi-
zens have an important choice to
make. On one hand, the Governor
and legislative Democrats have laid
out a path and a vision that calls for
higher taxes and increased state
spending with the overall goal of
greater government involvement in
and control of our everyday lives.
On the other hand, the Assembly
Republicans have struck a course in
the exact opposite direction, choosing
instead to reduce our tax burden,
reform the delivery of important gov-
ernment services and empower fami-
lies, individuals and employers to
thrive and prosper without the heavy
hand of government getting in the way.
I am hopeful that the Conference
Committee will choose this path, as
the input I have received from the res-
idents of the 9th Senate District indi-
cates that people are strongly
opposed to increasing taxes, spending
and overall government power. Again,
the coming weeks and months could
determine the direction that our state
takes in the years to come. Please
keep in contact with me with your
thoughts as the Conference
Committee process unfolds.
As always, it has been a pleasure
communicating with you. Please
remember to communicate with me
and share your input by calling 888-
295-8750, writing to me at P.O. Box
7882, Madison, WI 53707-7882, or by
e-mailing me at
Sen.Leibham@legis.wisconsin.gov.
You can also log on to the 9th Senate
District on-line office at www.leibham-
senate.com.
It is an honor representing the resi-
dents of the 9th District in the State
Senate!
Earlier this month, the Wisconsin State
Assembly voted on their final recommen-
dations for the 2007-09 biennial budget.
What was presented before the Assembly
by the Assembly Republican Caucus was
a stark contrast to what was offered by
both the Joint Finance Committee and the
Senate.
After the Senate passed their
version of the budget, Assembly
Republicans worked in closed
caucus groups, out of the public
eye and potential scrutiny, to
create a new version of the
budget, presented to the legis-
lature as a lengthy single
amendment on Monday, July
9th (exactly one day before the
full Assembly was scheduled to
debate the bill). The version
presented is packed with cuts to
important state programs, a massive
amount of non-fiscal policy, and pork.
One of the areas to see cuts from the
Governor's proposed funding level is edu-
cation. While trumpeting the value of their
education budget, Assembly Republicans
made moves to under-fund our state's
public instruction and higher education
systems.
Increases in higher education aid
included by Governor Doyle and approved
by the Senate were removed from their
proposal. They also cut the statutorily
allowed per pupil funding increases for our
K-12 schools allowed under revenue lim-
its. These cuts could end up costing the
Sheboygan Area School District over $2
million and the Kohler School District
around $100,000.
There were other major education ini-
tiatives left wounded by funding cuts. The
School Breakfast Reimbursement Rate
increase (which would have brought our
state out of its last place position in the
amount of students benefiting from this
program), along with four-year-old kinder-
garten grants, and an expansion of the
SAGE program were just a few of the
many items to see budget cuts. A major
blow, in the form of a large decrease in
funding, was dealt to WI Public Radio and
Television, an important facilitator of edu-
cational programming.
County and municipal aid was hit
equally hard under the Assembly
Republican's budget proposal. Payments
to most counties would be reduced by 5%,
but a 12.5% decrease would be meted out
to many of our state's larger municipalities,
including Milwaukee, Madison, Superior
and Beloit. In addition to these cuts, levy
limits included within the bill would prohib-
it county and municipal governments from
making up these cuts in shared revenue.
The popular Homestead Credit program
was also altered in the Republican propos-
al. Access to the Homestead Credit would
be restricted to those 65 and older, mar-
ried couples, or those with one or more
dependents who meet the income criteria.
As a result, low income individuals under
the age of 65 would no longer be eligible
for the program.
As you may recall, one of the Joint
Committee on Finance's first actions after
formally receiving Governor Doyle's budg-
et proposal was to remove all policy items
State budget battles
Over the past few weeks, I have dis-
cussed with you some of the reasons
why I voted "no" on the 2007-09 state
budget plan that was proposed by
Governor Jim Doyle and amended by
the Democrats in the State Senate. As
I have stated, the main reason I voted
against the state budget was because
of its call to increase state spending by
more than 23 percent over the next two
years and increase taxes on
the citizens of our state by
over $10 billion during the
same time period even
though incomes in Wisconsin
are rising at a rate of just two
percent each year, one of the
lowest rates in the nation.
While I have been critical
of the proposals advanced by
Governor Doyle and the
Senate Democrats, I also
pledged to work with my col-
leagues in the State Assembly to con-
struct a budget plan that taxes less,
spends less and is more respectful of
hardworking families, seniors and small
businesses who employ people in our
communities. I am proud to say that we
have done just that and, on July 10, the
Assembly passed a state budget pro-
posal that returns sound budgeting to
the State of Wisconsin without
increasing taxes.
It is a budget that puts the average
taxpayer first; looking at what the tax-
payers can afford instead of what the
government wants. Despite critics who
said that the Assembly proposal would
have to raise taxes or slash 4K-12
education and important health care
programs like Medical Assistance, we
were actually able to preserve these
important services. In the area of pub-
lic education alone, the Assembly budg-
et provides a $462 million increase in
funding not a cut like some legislators
have suggested. In fact, the Assembly
budget invests $14 million above and
beyond what Governor Doyle proposed
for our 4K-12 programs.
Again, unlike the proposals forward-
ed by Governor Doyle and the Senate
Democrats which would have firmly
established Wisconsin as the #1 high-
est taxed state in the nation the
Assembly budget contains no tax
increases. In addition, the proposal
spends almost $10 billion less than
Senate Democrats and nearly $2 billion
less than Governor Doyle.
Not only were we able to hold the
line on taxes and spending; we were
even able to provide good news for
many Wisconsin residents in the form
of tax relief. In fact, early estimates
indicate that the Assembly budget pro-
posal actually moves Wisconsin out of
the top ten highest taxed states for the
first time in recent memory. Below are
just a few of the tax relief proposals we
were able to include:
Exempting retirement and pension
income from state income taxes;
An affordable budget
alternative
Updates From Our State Representatives
from the bill. This was done, in part, due to
a compromise involving the committee's
Assembly Republican co-chair. The
thought behind this move is that these
issues can and should be dealt with sepa-
rately from the budget. When the budget
came to the Assembly, however, Assembly
Republicans reversed their thinking and
used their version of the budget
to implement a multitude of pol-
icy items most of which had no
fiscal impact whatsoever and
had already been introduced as
legislation.
The language of Assembly
Bill 226, for example (which
would require certain sexual
offenders to replace normal
Wisconsin license plates with
special chartreuse-colored
plates) is included in the
Assembly Republicans' budget. As is a
repeal of the current moratorium on the
construction of nuclear power plants in
Wisconsin (AB-346). Republicans also
incorporated the "Voter-ID Bill" (Assembly
Joint Resolution 17), despite the fact that
this legislation was already passed by the
full Assembly! These are only a few exam-
ples of the enormous amount of legislative
policy slipped into the proposal.
And what's a budget without pork? A
closer look at the transportation budget
brings to the forefront the issue of ear-
marking, or specifying that a certain
amount of funding be used for pet projects
in a certain legislator's district. While this
may seem beneficial to those living in the
area. to the rest of the state behavior
like this is commonly referred to as pork.
Assembly Republicans used the budget
as a vehicle to fund projects in Republican
controlled districts.
The vast majority of Governor Jim
Doyle's initiatives to better our state's
health care services were removed from
the budget as well. Some of the deleted
items include an expansion of
BadgerCare, the expansion of Family
Care and the creation of a Department of
Children and Families.
Finally, in what can only be seen as a
partisan attack against the Governor, four
positions were deleted from the
Governor's office and a gubernatorial liai-
son to the Department of Health and
Family Services was eliminated.
Taking into account the length of this
column and the sheer size of the budget,
this is only a brief synopsis of why I decid-
ed to join the bipartisan vote against the
Assembly version of the state budget. In
the coming weeks, a conference commit-
tee will be formed that will include mem-
bers of both the Assembly and Senate to
reconcile the differences. I will continue to
keep you apprised of the status of the
budget through this column.

Public Hearing for Kohler Water Utility
The Village of Kohler Municipal Water
Utility has filed an application with the
Public Service Commission of Wisconsin
(PSCW) to increase water rates. This rate
adjustment is necessary due to the
increased operation and maintenance
expense of 22% and an increase in the
gross plant investment of 42% since the
last full rate case in 1999.
The total increase in water revenues
requested is $73,296, which will result in
an estimated overall rate adjustment of
13% over the water utilitys present rev-
enues. If the request is granted, the water
bill for an average residential customer
with a 5/8-inch meter who uses 2,500
cubic feet of water per quarter will
increase from $49.18 to $50.75 or 3%.
A telephonic public hearing on the applica-
tion has been scheduled for Tuesday,
August 7, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. at Village
Hall. Questions regarding the hearing may
be directed to the PSCWat 608-266-3766.
Copies of the application and supporting
documentation are available for review at
the utility office. If you have any ques-
tions, please contact the utility office at
920-459-3873.
Public Hearing before the Plan
Commission
A public hearing will be conducted by the
Village of Kohler Plan Commission on
Thursday, August 2 at 5:00 p.m. to consid-
er all comments, suggestions or recom-
mendations concerning the following pro-
posed ordinance:
Ordinance No. 2007-2, An Ordinance
Creating Chapter 20.50 of the
Municipal Code of the Village of
Kohler Regulating the Placement,

RUTTEN
www.kohlerpolice.com
USSO Update
The Kohler Police Department was
involved in several different aspects of the
events surrounding the United States
Senior Open. The responsibilities spanned
the duties of general participants exit
routes traffic control, concerts/events in
the Ravine Park as well as the regular calls
for service. The Kohler Police Department
was fortunate in that the Village of Kohler
Tourism Committee agreed to reimburse
the Village for the officers overtime and
part-time officers hours from the tourism
funds. These funds are separate from the
general taxes and are restricted to tourist
related activities/advertisement, etc. All
the events that occurred in the Village
went very well. My officers were glad that
the week was over and did a fantastic job.
I also appreciated the support of
Wisconsin State Patrol that loaned our
department an unmarked squad at no cost
to the Village.
FROM PUBLIC WORKS SUPERIN-
TENDENT BRUCE NEERHOF

Self-guided Tour Wands: A
natural fit for the Botanical
Gardens of Kohler
The Village of Kohler,
the first fully-developed
garden community in the
United States, introduces
a new way to enjoy the
horticultural offerings of
The Botanical Gardens of
Kohler with Self-Guided
Tour Wands.
This new offering at
Destination Kohler cele-
brates the appreciation
and enjoyment of flora
while showcasing the
botanic beauty of the Village, Jack
Woodland, Director - Landscape, Kohler
Co. These tour wands are very popular
with visitors to large botanical gardens,
zoos and museums. The Botanical Gardens
of Kohler now, more than ever, exceeds the
standards of high-class botanical gardens
in the United States.
There are three garden tours that guests
and community members can enjoy. Each
of the three garden tours is color-coded on
a full-color map provided with rental of the
handheld wand. The garden walks have
multiple tour-stops with audio information
highlighting the flowers and plant-life fea-
tured in the section along
with historical information
when applicable.
The Self-Guided Tour
Wands are an amenity that
resort guests and the local
community alike can
enjoy, said Woodland.
Garden enthusiasts can
discover the gardens when
it best fits their schedule.
It's a natural fit.
The wands can be rented
at multiple locations
throughout the Village of Kohler including
The Kohler Gardener and the Inn on
Woodlake located at The Shops at
Woodlake Kohler and at The American
Club. The rental fee is $10 per wand and
can be used for the entire day.
The Village of Kohler received botanic
garden certification from the American
Public Garden Association in 2004 for pro-
moting display, study and conservation of
plants for public benefit. As of spring
2006, the Botanical Gardens of Kohler
offers garden tours and related events to

amenity at the Destination Kohler resort.
