By The Kohler Villager staff All major events sold out at the2013 Food & Wine Experience inKohler held October 17-20, as ap-proximately 9,000 food and winelovers sampled a seemingly end-less variety of cuisines, wines,liquors, and beers while celebritychefs, sommeliers, and other spe-cialists shared some of the tips andtechniques that have made themexperts in their fields. The event offered something foreveryone – from “foodies” andwine connoisseurs, to the casualcook who appreciates a good help-ful hint or shortcut, to people whosimply enjoy learning about thepreparation process that producedthe samples they tasted. The 13th annual event kickedoff on Thursday night with theKohler Chefs’ Challenge presentedby Fox 11’s Amy Hanten. About250 people gathered at the StellaArtois Main Stage to watch sixteams compete. Six Kohler chefswere paired with “assistants” fromthe area, including two SheboyganNorth High School students en-rolled in the school’s HospitalityFoods course. Each team had 20minutes in which to take a mysteryingredient and create a dish thatwould impress the judges. In the first session, the mysteryingredient was pork tenderloin.Two teams worked for 20 minutes,and as is typical in these sorts ofcompetitions, barely made thedeadline. Each team prepared twoplates, one for the judges and onethat was auctioned off to the audi-ence. Earlier in the evening, an auc-tion had been held to select an ad-ditional judge from the audience.The winning bid was $1,350, andby the end of the auction, a total of$11,000 was raised to benefitNourish, a local organization thatcreates collaboration betweenlocal farmers and volunteers toshare meals inspired by fresh, local

ingredients with struggling fami-lies. (Kohler’s October 15 FallHarvest benefit also raised$25,000 for United Way’s Food forTomorrow initiative). The American Club’s banquetchef, Angie Rondinelli, was theoverall winner of the challenge.

A full schedule of seminars andtastings got under way Friday. Inone of the morning sessions, “Pie:A Slice of Heaven,” RichardPalm, Pastry Chef at The Ameri-can Club , shared his expertise andhumor with the audience as he of-

fered tips and tricks on how tomake the perfect pie crust and fill-ing. Palm recommended using un-bleached, unbromated flour, whichshould be chilled along with thebutter. When rolling the dough,Palm advised leaving pea-sizedpieces of butter intact. This helpsthe dough form flakey layers dur-ing baking. The chef also shared asecret tip for the liquid used inmaking pie crusts: when the recipecalls for ¼ cup of water, replace itwith three tablespoons of ice coldwater and one tablespoon ofVodka. The alcohol doesn’t pro-mote gluten formation, whichhelps the crust stay much flakierand more tender. Chef Palm, who recently lost125 lbs., also shared some healthtips he follows, including the useof a lite salt mixture (like Morton’sLite) that contains a potassiumchloride blend. Palm explainedthat Finland has seen a 75-80% re-duction in heart attacks and strokessince the early 1970s when thecountry launched a national cam-paign to reduce the intake ofsodium chloride, the prime of-fender in table salt. Friday afternoon featured morethan 30 sessions, including a tast-ing led by Aaron Rodonis, Grey

From Police Chief Bill RuttenNotifying the Police DepartmentThere have been several incidents recently where animmediate police response was required, but was de-layed because callers left officer on-duty voicemails atthe department rather than being connected to a dis-patcher. After office hours, the Officers that are on-dutycheck for voicemails periodically throughout their shiftas time allows. Most often, Officers are out on patrol.Residents are reminded that for emergencies such ascrimes in progress, suspicious persons, or other inci-dents where time is of the essence, residents should dial911. For routine calls where an Officer needs to re-spond, but not in an emergent fashion, should be re-ported by calling 459-3877 and selecting option 2 tohave an Officer dispatched by the Sheriff’s Department.The on-duty officer voicemail, option 3, should be usedfor calls such as vacation checks or calls that we don’tneed to respond to right away as we may not get themessage for several hours. This will help our depart-ment respond to your needs in an appropriate manner.

GunlocksWith gun deer hunting season right around the corner,the Kohler Police Department is reminding residentswith firearms that the Police Department continues tosupply Masterlock trigger locks for all residents thatwant one. In addition to the Masterlock trigger locksprovided by the Department, a federal program - Proj-ect Childsafe, continues to also have locks available atthe Police Department.

The Kohler Soccer Club cele-brated the sport of soccer in thevillage with its second annual “Fri-day Night Lights” event at theBoys High School varsity matchagainst Heritage Christian on Oc-tober 4th. The Blue Bombers beatthe Patriots 5-0. Joe Pellowski andJohn Nebel scored two goals eachand Ben Madigan scored one.Calvin Stefanczyck had theshutout in goal. Along with thevictory, all of the youth soccerteams and players from the KohlerSoccer Club were represented andhad a chance to be part of theevent. The U6 players had thechance to go out with the varsityteam in a “world cup” style en-trance to start the match.

Three U8 teams scrimmagedprior to the start of the game toclassic soccer anthems like ole,ole, ole. Two U10 teams scrim-maged against each other in an ex-citing boys vs girls half time game.The girls U12 team rallied thecrowd by tossing out free soccercinch bags and small soccer ballseach time Kohler scored a goal.One U12 boys team took turns as

the official ball boys for the Varsitygame. The U14 girls helped every-thing run smoothly as volunteerassistant coaches for all the youthevents on the field. Kristin More-house of the Kohler Soccer Clubsaid, “This is an exciting night foryouth soccer, so we tried to get asmany youth players involved aspossible. Teams that didn't have aspecial role at our Fall boys nightgame will have a role to play at thegirls night game in Spring.”

Brad Beach, the mascot from theMilwaukee Wave was present tocheer on the teams and the KohlerDrum Line provided great enter-tainment.

The sport of soccer has a longtradition in the village, the immi-grants who came to work at theKohler Company played the gameas far back as 1918. The traditioncontinues as anyone can tell byseeing the large number of youthplayers on the fields around thevillage on Saturday mornings inthe fall and spring. Their passionfor the game continues into highschool and has translated into suc-cess for the boys varsity team, whohave won the conference twice inthe past five years, and made a

state final appearance as recent as2009.

This year the team wrapped up

Kohler’s long history of passion for soccer continues

Girls tennis, continued from page 1

the regular season with a 14-8-2record and a third place finish inthe conference. Kohler High

School Coach Scott Feltner said,"This event not only celebrates thesport of soccer but underlines the

importance of theKohler Soccer Club todevelop players whowant to play in HighSchool. We are thesmallest school in ourconference but we havealways punched aboveour weight in soccer.That’s because all ofthe parents and volun-teers do a really goodjob of teaching the kidshow to play the game.As the high schoolcoach I am really grate-ful for all of the sup-port.”

Food & Wine, continued from page 1Goose Vodka Brand Master. Rodo-nis told the story of how beverageentrepreneur Sidney Frank wantedto create a high-end vodka to targetAmericans. So Frank established adistillery in France where high-grade winter wheat is grown onfarms around the fertile Picardy re-gion north of Paris, and a bottlingplant in Cognac, an area synony-mous with high-end French spirits.(Residents of Cognac doubted thesuccess of a vodka being producedthere). Frank also discovered pris-tine spring water in the Cognac re-gion. The water gets blended withthe vodka product after the distilla-tion process. Before the spirits are bottled, theinside of each glass bottle is rinsedwith Grey Goose Vodka so thatnothing ever touches the inside ofthe bottle but the vodka. The flavored vodkas are infusedwith fruit flavors that come fromreal fruit grown in France (exceptfor oranges, which come fromFlorida). The whole fruits are deliv-ered to a parfumerie in Grasse (aFrench commune devoted to per-fume and flavor manufacturing),where the flavors and aromas areextracted and shipped back to GreyGoose in Cognac as essential oils,which are then blended with theclassic formula giving the flavoredvodkas their delicate fresh fruitaroma and taste. (Smelling the fla-vored vodkas were as enjoyable astasting them). On Friday evening, Jason Gor-man, Executive Chef for theChicago Art Institute prepared athree-course meal for his Art andAppetite: An artistic approach tomid-west cuisine presentation. The premier event for Fridayevening, “Taste of the Vine” at theDesign Center highlighted exquisitewines, delectable hors d’oeuvresand live music.

“America’s Test KitchenBrunch” kicked off Saturday at 9:00a.m., followed by about 40 seminarsand tastings scattered throughoutthe Kohler hospitality properties. Perhaps one of the most informa-tive sessions was led by BridgetLancaster of America’s TestKitchen—“the Consumer Reportsfor kitchen gear” as she described it.Attendees sipped on a glass of wineas Lancaster shared industry tips oneverything from salad spinners tokitchen shears to Bundt pans—lookfor a pan with handles, by the way;it will make flipping the pan and re-moving the Bundt cake easier.Some of the tips that Lancastershared during her one-hour presen-tation included: When trying to decide betweenan expensive $120 non-stick skilletand a $35 one, buy the less expen-sive one. The return on investmentjust isn’t there, since the coatingprobably won’t last longer than twoyears. To use a chef’s knife properly,choke up on the handle. Lancasterhad a lot to say about knives. Keepthem out of the dishwasher (thesoap “eats the blade”). Buy knivesindividually—don’t buy “sets” (setsare how manufacturers get rid ofknives that haven’t sold well). Andsharpen your knives often—“A dullknife is the most dangerous thing inyour kitchen.” A knife is sharpwhen it can slice through a piece ofpaper. Another item to keep out of thedishwasher if you want it to last is acutting board. Contrary to popularbelief, hand washing with soap andhot water will kill all of the bacteria.In fact, wooden boards, especiallythose made of teak, are naturallyanti-bacterial. And they’re easier onyour knives than glass or other typ-ical cutting boards. Of course, Lancaster wasn’t the

only one dispensing wit and wis-dom Saturday afternoon. The fanfavorite Fabio Viviani was backagain for a session on pasta making.A colorful character, Fabio didn’tknow a word of English when heemigrated from Florence, Italy tothe U.S. in 2006, but he knowsplenty of words now—even severalthat aren’t in the dictionary. Throughout his session, Fabioplayfully chided the audience. Hewas aghast to learn that less than 10people out of the approximately 300present had made fresh pasta fromscratch in the past year. “Why not?”Fabio demanded to know. “Toomessy? Takes too much time? Don’tknow how?” He then declared thatby the time he was finished every-one would know how to make pastafrom scratch in two minutes andwithout any mess. Indeed, not counting all of hisjokes and asides—“Recipes are forpeople with OCD … if you tooktime to measure every little table-spoon you’d never get done … justgrab a spoonful, that’s closeenough”—it then took Fabio abouttwo minutes to make fettucini fromscratch. “Next year when I come here andask if anyone has made fresh pastafrom scratch in the past year, you allbetter raise your hand!” Fabioroared and the crowd roared back. Saturday drew to a close with anumber of events and special din-ners. The grand tasting at the mainstage provided a chance to sampleand buy a variety of new wines.Leinenkugel’s Oktoberfest –Rockin’ Brews followed, offeringbeer lovers a chance to sample a va-riety of brews and partake of pub-style food, followed byentertainment by Road Trip. Next year’s event is already onthe calendar for October 23-26,2014.
