Nominationpapers turnedin for springelections
Three seats on the Village board
and one on the school board will
be up for grabs in the spring elec-
tion.
Voters will choose from four
candidates to fill three Village
Board seats. All three incumbents
and one newcomer turned in their
nomination papers by the January
7 deadline. Incumbents include
Brett Edgerle, Susan Jaberg, and
John Pethan. (Susan Jaberg was
appointed to replace John Renzel-
mann who moved out of the Vil-
lage). Newcomer Michael C.
Zimermann has thrown his hat into
the ring hoping to displace one of
the incumbents.
For the school board, Christina
Koberstein is the only one to sub-
mit a declaration of candidacy for
the seat that will be vacated by
Laura Kohler, who is not running
for reelection.
Popular KOHLER Original RecipeRaspberry Chocolate Heartssweeten Valentine’s gift giving
Once again, Kohler Original Recipe Choco-
lates celebrates the season of love with beautiful
hand-painted Raspberry Champagne Hearts.
Each artfully crafted dark chocolate heart-
shaped shell is filled with smooth ganache fla-
vored with robust notes of raspberry,
champagne, and cognac.
I had a chance to try a couple of the hearts as
I sat down with Anette Righi DeFendi, head
chocolatier at Kohler Original Recipe Choco-
lates. We met at the Craverie Chocolatier Café,
home of Kohler Original Recipe Chocolates, lo-
cated in The Shops at Woodlake.
DeFendi said the chocolate hearts are one of
the more popular seasonal items. Though she
wasn’t the original creator of the pieces, they
proved to be so popular that there was no reason
to discontinue them.
I was reluctant to bite into my sample hearts.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a piece of chocolate
that shiny. I wanted to wear them as jewelry or
display them on a knickknack shelf for a while.
They taste as delectable as they look.
The exquisitely packaged confections are
available through Valentine’s Day
in gift ready boxes: 4-pieces for
$9.99, 9-pieces for $18.99, and
32-pieces for $59.99. They can be
ordered online at
www.KOHLERchocolates.com
or by phone 800-778-5591.
The Holiday Trio, which de-
buted this past November, was
Defendi’s creation, as well as
some upcoming candy bars, in-
cluding a new peanut butter vari-
ety.
Defendi said the chocolate pro-
duction is cutting edge just like all
of Kohler’s ventures. All chocolates are hand-
made at the Forbes Five-Star The American
Club resort, and personally approved by the
Chairman/CEO of the Kohler Co., Herbert V.
Kohler himself before they are made available
for purchase.
I ended our interview by posing a few ques-
tions posted by visitors to The Kohler Villager
Facebook page:
Describe the process of developing newchocolates or flavors. What is the mostchallenging aspect?
“It’s really fun, actually. It’s a really creative
process,” Defendi said. She draws from tradi-
tional and popular flavors, but also
likes to experiment with flavors
that she thinks might make for a
unique pairing. “Part of my plan is
to create items that aren’t out there
or put a spin on the classics,” De-
fendi said. “It involves a lot of trial
and error. It’s frustrating some-
times, but it’s really rewarding
when you come up with a piece
that people love and enjoy. That’s
really satisfying for me and makes
me happy that I’m able to make
other people happy and enjoy the
chocolate.”
Some of the other more unique flavors avail-
able include Green Tea, Lavender, Asian Spice,
Chai Tea. Visit KOHLERchocolates.com to see
more flavors.
Defendi also considers personal favorites
when developing a new line. The inspiration be-
hind the cranberry clove chocolates that were
part of the Holiday Trio was a spiced cider that
her mother would make for the holidays when
she was growing up. “It was cranberry and or-
ange juice with cloves and cinnamon . . . and I
was thinking about the holiday line and I
thought ‘Gosh, what reminds me of Christmas?’
and it’s always that spiced cider.” So Defendi
wondered if she could make a ganache with
spiced cider, and she did. The Cranberry Clove
joined The Caramel Apple and Mint Leaf to
make up the Holiday Trio.
When will their clean line be available?
Defendi said most of their products are
“clean,” meaning all natural ingredients with no
preservatives. The ones she could think of off-
hand were the Terrapins, toffee bark, trail mix,
dark chocolate and milk chocolate bars, and all
candy bars. There are also gluten free choco-
lates available. People seeking clean chocolates
are encouraged to call the Craverie for more in-
formation.
Do you plan to offer chocolate covered
strawberries?
Defendi said they won’t be offering chocolate
covered strawberries, because their goal is to
produce items that can be sold online and
shipped. Their chocolates have a three-month
shelf life, something that can’t be achieved with
chocolate covered strawberries.
All chocolates are handmade at the Forbes
Five-Star The American Club resort in the Vil-
lage of Kohler, Wisconsin, owned and operated
by Kohler Co., leading manufacturer of kitchen
and bath plumbing products.

Five Guys Named Moeon Valentine’s DayTickets Available Now
Kohler Foundation continues the
tradition of bringing the highest-
quality musical theater to the area
with the high-energy revue Five
Guys Named Moe on Friday, Feb-
ruary 14. Tickets to the 8:00 p.m.
show are just $35 for adults and
$18 for students. Special dining
and lodging offers in the Village of
Kohler are available to ticket hold-
ers during the special weekend.
Five Guys Named Moe debuted
in London’s West End in 1990 and
won two Laurence Olivier Awards
before making the journey across
the pond to Broadway in 1992. The
musical, which was also nomi-
nated for two Tony Awards, tells
the story of down-on-his-luck
Nomax and the eponymous Five
Guys Named Moe who jump right
out of his 1930s-style radio one
night. They cajole,
wheedle, and comfort
him with the whimsical
hit songs of Louis Jor-
dan, one of the most
beloved songwriting tal-
ents of the twentieth cen-
tury.
With more than fifty
top ten singles on the
rhythm and blues charts, Louis Jor-
dan was a great composer, band-
leader and saxophonist who
brought a popular new slant to
jazz, paved the way for the rock-
and-roll of the 1950’s, and collab-
orated with the likes of Louis
Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. His
music creates a toe-tapping and
hand-clapping soundtrack to the
hilarious, heart-warming story
written by Clarke Peters.
The final performance
of the Distinguished
Guest Series’ 70th Sea-
son on April 5 will be
world-renowned violin-
ist Itzhak Perlman in
concert with Rohan De-
Silva on piano.
Tickets are available
on the Kohler Founda-
tion’s website or by calling the
Foundation office: www.kohler-
foundation.org/tickets or 920-458-
1972. Show will be performed at
the Kohler Memorial Theatre, 260
School St., Kohler, Wisconsin.The Kohler Foundation is a
non-profit, private foundationthat supports education, arts andpreservation initiatives in Wiscon-sin.
Winter one-acts ready to hit Kohler stageKohler High thespians will show

1 and 2 in a production of TheHigh School Diaries. The one-act

ent in the lives of high school stu-
dents. This Is A Test by Stephen
Gregg is a hilarious look at taking
an exam, told through the mind of
a very nervous high school boy.
The second half of the program
features selections from The BullyPlays, a thought-provoking collec-
tion of short plays about bullying.

By Suzanne FinkSheboygan Lutheran 61, Kohler 48 (1-5 CLC)
The Crusaders shield of armor
was too hard to break through for
a victory January 4, as the
Bombers lost on the road to She-
boygan Lutheran 61-48.
Lutheran jumped out to an easy
first quarter lead but the Bombers
jousted their host in a dueling bat-
tle in the second quarter to pull
ahead at halftime for a 21-20 lead.
The Crusaders rode in and re-
stored order in the third quarter to
take a 22 point advantage and kept
building from there, proving to be
too much for the Blue Bombers to
handle.
“We got off to a slow start in the
first quarter but came back strong
in the second to take the lead by
one at the half,” said guard Eric
Bauer. “Unfortunately, our defense
couldn’t shut down Jake Jurss
from beyond the three point line in
the second half to pull off the win.”
Brennan Ladwig had a double-
double along with the team high of
13 points in Kohler’s road loss,
while Jake Jurss led the Crusaders
with 30 points.
Like Lutheran, we also share in
the journey of a crusade. Ours may
not be a holy endeavor, but a cru-
sade nevertheless…as our boys
continue to push forward for a vic-
tory! Kohler–Phil Case 1, Noah Fink 8, BrettMueller 8, Calvin Stefanczyk 7, JordanToeller 2, Eric Bauer 9, Brennan Ladwig13. 3-pt: Fink 2, Mueller, Bauer, 1.

The Friends of the Marshformed in 2005 to help protect andpromote the Marsh. The Friendsset their sights, literally, skyward.In 2006, soon after formally be-coming an entity, the Friendsstarted to raise money to constructthe State of Wisconsin’s tallestwooden observation tower.Fundraising started by collectingspare change in buckets at localevents and progressed when manyboth large and small donationsfrom local citizens, foundations,and employers started accumulat-ing. Their vision became reality in2009 when Sheboygan Countywas blessed with another greatamenity, the Sheboygan MarshTower.The Friends have not lost their
drive and determination to makethe Sheboygan Marsh an even bet-ter resource for the County. Usingtheir knowledge and success fromthe Tower project, they are nowembarking on a new mission to de-velop an environmentally friendlymulti-purpose educational andmeeting facility. The new facilitywould sit where the existing ex-tremely dilapidated storagegarages are currently located. Theprimary function of the facilitywould be to house Camp Y-Koda’sever-growing environmental edu-cational classes along with otherenvironmental stewardship activi-ties. The facility would also beused for meetings and gatheringswhen classroom activities are nottaking place. The tired, worn-out
campground showers, now housedin the old Marsh Lodge, would bereplaced and housed in the new fa-cility as well. The goal is to makethe building as environmentally re-sponsible as budget will allow.Initial estimates place the price tagat roughly $660,000, includingcontingency. While no formalfundraising has taken place, theFriends have already raised over$40,000 in seed money.The Friends encourage people to
take a special look at the hiddenjewel which is the SheboyganMarsh. It is the largest restoredwetland complex in the LakeMichigan basin providing habitatfor many species of birds, wildlifeand other critters. Step back, stepup, and enjoy the wonder of the14,000 acre Broughton Marshfrom the observation tower; seewhat boaters, hunters, fishermanand snowmobilers have enjoyed
for years. From the tower’spanoramic view, you will experi-ence a breathtaking landscape,hidden treasures, massive water-ways, abundant wildlife and recre-ational opportunities. Then, onceyou have taken in the beauty,imagine a beautiful new, purpose-ful, building housing the classes ofthe next generation of scientists toprotect, manage, and preservemagnificent resources such as theSheboygan Marsh.The Friends encourage people
of all ages to participate in thismonumental effort that will benefitmany generations to come.For more information, or to do-
nate, please visit www.friendsoft-hemarsh.com, or call920-876-4312. Like us on Face-book at Broughton-Sheboygan-County-Wisconsin-Marsh-Park-TOWER.
