Village deals with snowing painsThe Village of Kohler’s Department of

Public Works found itself challenged by aseries of February snowstorms – one ofwhich dropped 161/2 inches of snow onFebruary 5 & 6.

Bruce Neerhof, Public WorksSuperintendent for the Village, said thatplowing snow is very hard on the equipmentand numerous repairs totalling approxi-mately $30,000 were needed on all equip-ment. The repairs ranged from engines,radiators, and transmissions on trucks, tobearings and shafts on blowers.

Neerhof said the extra snow will also costan additional $25,000 in overtime, dieselfuel, and salt, but the majority of the snow-related expenditures will be covered byunexpected revenue coming in, as well assavings from projects coming in underbudget. “Delaying a couple of projects

should make up the rest,” said Neerhof.“Our overall budget will be fine, unless weget a lot of snow in March, November, andDecember.”

The second snowiest February in thearea’s history also put a strain on the DPWcrew which, at one point, plowed for 24hours in a 29-hour time span. Hamperingtheir efforts were a lack of availability ofsalt, cars parked on the street during snowoperations, and concern about where tohaul all the snow after it was removed fromparking lots and intersections. Eventually,the decision was made to haul the extrasnow to the Kohler Co. site located on ErieAvenue.

Neerhof said the Village is currently ona “low-salt diet” and the remaining salt sup-

How can we best keep the property taxunder control in the Village of Kohler?

What have we done with the extra rev-enue from recent developments such asDeer Trace and Woodland South?

Are there areas of growth and develop-ment inside our existing Village structure?

What are the residential growth opportu-nities?

How can the Village Board and theKohler Public School Board work togethermore effectively to enhance what is offeredfor our students and community?

How can we best partner with the KohlerCo. to benefit the community?

“If elected to our Village Board, I pledgeto do my best for the Village of Kohler andto always be accountable to the residents ofKohler for the actions taken by the VillageBoard. I will be here to listen to your con-cerns and to be an advocate for the bestinterests of our Village.”

Depression supportgroup for men

A support group for men affected bymajor depression is currently being formedby Mental Health America in SheboyganCounty (formerly Mental HealthAssociation).The group will meet for six weeks onTuesday evenings from 6 – 7:30 p.m. at theUnited Way building, 2020 Erie Avenue,Sheboygan.

Participation is open to any adult malewho has been diagnosed with major depres-sion and is currently receiving help from aprofessional such as a family doctor, thera-pist, or psychiatrist.

The group will be led by Dean White, alicensed Marriage and Family Therapist,who has had experience leading such agroup. There is no charge to participate butinterested males need to complete a one-page registration form which is available atMental Health America offices in theUnited Way building or by calling 920-458-3951.

Depression is a serious but treatablemedical condition that can affect men and women of any age. However, men are lesslikely to reach out for help or share their experiences with others. The support groupis designed specifically for men so that they understand they are not alone in dealingwith the disorder.

Factors can make a person more vulnera-ble to developing depression including fam-ily history, undue stress, the loss of a lovedone, loss of a job or retirement, and other medical conditions. In America alone, morethan 6 million men will experience depression in a given year.

MHA is celebrating its 45th year of serv-ing residents of Sheboygan County througha variety of programs and services that pro-mote good mental health. The organizationis partially funded through United Way andUnited Fund contributions. More informa-tion can be found at the websitewww.mhasheboygan.org.

The Sheboygan County LWCD mail boxis being flooded with nursery and seed cat-alogs. So even with the recent snow fallspring will be arriving sooner than one canexpect. The LWCD offers a wide range oftrees and shrubs; one unique way to adddiversity to your property is to purchaseone of the popular packets. A packet is amixture of trees and shrubs to add aesthet-ics such as color or fragrance and wildlifehabitat to your property.

There are five different packets beingsold this year. One of the new packets is the

Deer/Habitat packet. This consists of gob-bler sawtooth oak, common domesticapple, quaking aspen, white pine, and whiteoak. The gobbler sawtooth oak is known toproduce acorns in about five years. This isan excellent way to naturally attract deer toyour property. An order consists of five ofeach species totaling 25.

The Nut packet is comprised of decidu-ous native hardwood trees. The species areshagbark hickory, butternut, hazelnut, blackwalnut, and white oak. In time these treeswill offer shade and a variety of nuts tosquirrels and birds. You will receive five ofeach species for a total of 25.

For several years people have requestedthat the LWCD sell lilacs as a separateitem. Now there is a lilac packet that iscomprised of common lilac (purple flower),villosa lilac (rosy purple to white flower),persian lilac (lavender flower) and Chineselilac (purple flower). Lilacs offer greatnesting cover for birds and can add color aswell as fragrance to your property. An orderof the Lilac packet will consist of three ofeach species totaling 12.

The Backyard packet is a great way tolandscape and beautify your yard. Thespecies in this packet are European moun-tain ash (not susceptible to the emerald ashborer), Rose of Sharon, common lilac, red-bud, and Nanking cherry. The Nankingcherry does bear fruit which birds finddesirable. If you are lucky to get some,these cherries can be made into wine, jelly,syrup, and pie. An order of this will consistof five of each species totaling 25.

And lastly, the popular Orchard packet ismade up of semi-dwarf and standard sizefruit trees. This consists of McIntosh apple,Honeycrisp apple, Bartlett pear, Anjou pearand Stella cherry. The cherry tree is semi-dwarf, while the rest are standard. There isonly one cherry tree because it is a self-pol-linator; the remainder of the trees do bestwith cross pollination. These fruit trees areall well over four feet in height and have alarge caliper. One of each species will makethis packet of five trees a great start in anysmall orchard.

The public is encouraged to place theirorder as soon as possible. Many trees andshrub species may be sold out well beforethe spring order deadline.

Communication and teamwork are important not onlyin business but in the day-to-day functions of our village.I am well versed in both areas and will bring the skills I’vedeveloped in my line of work with me to the board. Wehave such a unique opportunity here in the Village ofKohler – to not only preserve what has made our villagegreat for many years, but continue to look ahead anddevelop areas to make it great for my children and yours.

I will strive to bring greater teamwork and dedicationto developing working relationships with the two biggestassets to our Village: Kohler Co. and Kohler PublicSchools.

It is my hope to develop a strategic plan as a memberof the Village Board that asks and answers the following:

How can we best keep the property tax undercontrol in the Village of Kohler?What have we done with the extra revenue from recent developments such as Deer Trace and

Woodland South? Are there areas of growth and development inside our existing Village structure? What are the residential growth opportunities? How can the Village Board and the Kohler Public School Board work together more effectively

to enhance what is offered for our students and community?How can we best partner with the Kohler Co. to benefit the community?

If elected to our Village Board, I pledge to do my best for the Village of Kohler and to alwaysbe accountable to the residents of Kohler for the actions taken by the Village Board. I will behere to listen to your concerns and to be an advocate for the best interests of our Village.

As we begin another year, it is once again time to reviewthe procedures for school closings due to inclement weather.

As in the past, we ask parents to discuss this issue with theirchildren NOW – before the actual emergency occurs. If you aregenerally not home during the day, be sure your child knowsNOW where they are to go if school closed early (Will they gohome with a classmate? Older sibling? A relative? Have youmade prior arrangements with this individual to be on "standby" for these occasions?) In emergency closing situations, fortyor fifty children wanting to call home/work to find out whereto go seriously delays the entire closing process. Please makesure your arrangements are made in advance and be sure yourchild is fully aware of what to do.

Any decision to close schools for all or any portion of aschool day will be made as early as possible in order to affordparents the opportunity to make alternate child care transporta-tion plans. All closing announcements or early dismissals willbe made on the following area radio stations:

Steppin' Out - KohlerElementary Dance

Kohler Elementary kids have been stepping out in full force.On February 16, kids, parents and teachers ventured out into the cold evening to attendthe second annual Elementary School dance at Kohler Elementary School. The cafete-ria transformed into a dance club - complete with flashing colored lights, rock musicplayed by a disc jockey, and refreshments. Students from junior kindergarten throughsixth grade danced with their friends, parents, teachers, and even Principal SusanJaberg. Paula Anderson, one of the event organizers noted, “This year, there were moreparents out on the dance floor with their kids, which was really great to see.” For twohours, the crowd did everything from testing their skills at the Limbo, to learning theMacarena, to forming their letters, “Y.M.C.A.” among other dances.

As an added bonus, the Kohler Performing Arts Organization held a silent auctionfundraiser supported by the high school students. Items ranged from babysitting to ani-mal care, music lessons to snow shoveling. The Elementary School dance was atremendous success: over 120 people attended and at the end of the evening they leftwith smiles on their faces.

Students form a conga line to weave through the crowd at the Kohler Elementary School's Dance.

It's Fun To Be Healthy!

Bringing out the Best in Kids through YogaI am delighted to be a part of bringing Yoga to Kohler Elementary students as an

early release activity on Wellness Day, March 12, 2008. Yoga has been a passion ofmine for over six years. Not only has Yoga increased my strength, balance, and flexi-bility physically, but I have found I am able to conduct my every day life with strength,balance and flexibility as well. With this in mind, imagine how well Kohler childrenwould fare with an opportunity to benefit from Yoga!

Similar to the Martial Arts, Yoga practice upholds a firm set of core values universalto humanity. Both Yoga and the Martial Arts harness the strength of the mind, bodyand spirit. Yoga may be a way of reinforcing positive values such as self-restraint,non-harming and non-judgment of others, particularly for children who aren’t exposedto these values elsewhere.

Yoga is an ideal pathway to overall wellness. It is appropriate for all fitness levels,all ages, and even persons with disabilities. Regular Yoga practice is currently beingstudied for its unique therapeutic properties and for its ability to build physical balance,strength, flexibility, and cardiac endurance. This combination is something not found inany other sport. Yoga is beneficial for children involved in sports because it has beenfound to prevent injury in athletes, and it promotes flexibility in muscles, joints, andconnective tissue. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel even reported that Brett Favrepractices yoga to improve strength and prevent injury on the football field!

Yoga is also said to detoxify the body because some of the postures sendincreased fresh blood flow to the brain as well as other organs. It also promotes bodyawareness, which makes adults and children alike more conscious of what they put intheir body, and how they treat their body.

Yoga develops discipline, concentration, and focus. Improvement in these abilitieswould thrill the classroom teacher and parent alike! Studies are now showing animprovement in concentration and a calming effect in students with ADD and ADHDwho practice yoga regularly. Schools that have yoga programs for children show asharp decrease in discipline issues and an equivalent increase in test scores. I lookforward to teaching your children Yoga on March 12th and promoting a healthy schoolsystem.
