Benefit concert rocks thehouse for a good cause

Kohler High School senior CharlieReinertsen embarked on an ambitiousmission to organize a concert to benefitone of his friends, Parker Wolf, a Kohlerteen who was diagnosed with cancer. Hishard work reaped positive rewards whentwo area bands – Tough Act to Followfrom Manitowoc and Mark Hubing andFriends joined Reinertsen’s Kohler bandThe Scallions to dedicate proceeds fromtheir performances at Kohler’s MemorialTheatre to Parker’s treatment costs.

Reinertsen reported that the concertwas a complete success with more than600 people attending and donations ex-ceeding $6,000 at the time of this writing,and checks still coming in the mail. Hesaid Thrivent Financial for Lutheranscompany matched half of the total pro-ceeds made at the concert, and The Ply-mouth Youth Center, LEVEL, donatedhalf of the proceeds from a dance.

Reinertsen said that leading up to theconcert, the musicians didn’t know whatto expect. They felt that raising $4,000dollars would be an incredible bench-mark, and they had no idea that it wouldreach the success that it reached. “We oweall of the success to the support of thecommunity,” said Reinertsen. “As the dayof the concert approached, I became in-undated with people asking to help.”

Reinertsen said many offered theirtime, concession items and raffle items to

help the cause. “It was an experience thatwill live on in the memories of all of themembers of the community who partici-pated for years to come. The Parker WolfBenefit Concert was a night to remember.The Wolf family was humbled and awed

to see the support of the community. Intalking with each of the family members,each person realized how incredible itwas for the entire community to come to-gether for the event,” said Reinertsen.

Parker has undergone cancer treat-ments over the past few months and ac-cording to the most recent progressreports, the treatments have been success-ful and she has been declared free of can-cer.

Allison Holzwart, a 2007 graduateof Kohler High School was among15 semi-finalists in the 2009 MissWisconsin USA and Miss WisconsinTeen USA combined pageant. Thewinner moves on to represent Wis-consin in the national pageant held inLas Vegas, Nevada and sponsored byDonald Trump.

Holzwart, who represented Kohlerin the Miss USA division, is cur-rently a sophomore in the nursingprogram at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she is on theDean’s list. Her competition in thepageant was sponsored by her par-ents Mark and Lisa Holzwart ofKohler.

At age 19, the pageant wasHolzwart’s first. She saw it as an op-portunity to earn scholarship moneyand explore modeling as a potentialcareer option. Entrants were selectedbased on submitted photos and an in-terview process. The chosen contest-ants were then judged on interviews,academic and personal achieve-ments, and an evening gown andswimsuit competition. Holzwart saidher favorite part of the competition(aside from meeting all the othergirls) was the interview process. Shesaid the judges particularly enjoyedher stories of growing up in theclose-knit community of Kohler whereHolzwart was an honor student at KohlerHigh and three-time letter winner for ten-nis, basketball and track. She was also amember of the Kohler High School band.

Of the 500 contestants who entered theWisconsin pageant, Holzwart was one of40 contestents to advance to the state pag-eant competition in Middleton, Wiscon-sin. She then went on to become one ofthe 15 semi-finalists in spite of competingagainst many pageant “veterans” whobrought along professional coaches andstylists. Though Holzwart said she en-joyed the contest, she thinks she will

focus on pursuing her nursing career fornow.

The national pageant in Las Vegas, Ne-vada will be televised on NBC on April19, 2009.

Coyote sightings increase If you think you’ve seen a coyote in awooded or brushy part of the Village, itmay not be just your imagination. Onehundred Wisconsin Department of NaturalResources field personnel observed 508coyotes throughout the state in 2007. Thisis the highest number of coyotes seen perobserver since at least 1987. (The actualnumber of coyotes is certain to be muchhigher than what is observed.) At this time,however, there are no DNR estimates ofhow many coyotes might be in SheboyganCounty or the Village of Kohler area.

north of STH 23. Rutten reported that asrecently as two months ago, a coyotewas seen during the daytime runningacross Highland Drive near the QMart.“These animals usually prey on thesmall animals that are abundant, such asrabbits, etcetera. The Coyotes have notcaused any issues, other than eatinggarbage, that I am aware of,” said Rut-ten. In rare instances, coyotes may besomewhat agressive toward dogs. andeven people during breeding season. “At this time of year [late winter,early spring] they are in the breeding

season—so they may be more aggressivetowards dogs than normal,” says DaleKatsma, Southeast Region Wildlife Su-pervisor for the DNR. “If they becometoo accustomed to people—usually be-cause of handouts (food via garbage,etc)—there have been a few reports inbigger urban areas (Chicago, California,etc.) of them becoming aggressive towardpeople. If they are hunted or trapped theybecome very shy and rarely seen by peo-ple.” According to the DNR’s “Coyote FactSheet,” pet owners should exercise cau-tion and avoid leaving their pets outsideunattended between dusk and dawn whencoyotes are most active. If you see a coy-ote you should keep your distance. If thecoyote gets too close for comfort, youshould take some actions that will rein-force its natural fear of humans, such asturning on a light, making loud noises, ortossing stones or other small objects. Peo-ple with ongoing concerns or questionsshould contact the DNR Service Centerin Plymouth at (920) 892-8756. Coyotes prefer woodland edges andbrushy areas that provide adequate cover;however, they are very adaptable. Coy-otes can also be found in farm fields,parks, river corridors, and other areaswith natural vegetation. This may includeareas within cities and villages likeKohler.

Number of coyotes seen statewide per DNR observer

Coyotes are midway in size between afox and a wolf. They have long, thin legsand rather large, pointed ears. Their black-tipped bushy tail is carried below the levelof the back when the coyote is runing—unlike a wolf, which holds its tail up whilerunning. The basic body color of a coyoteranges from a dull yellow to gray. Theireyes are yellow-colored like foxes. Kohler Police Chief Bill Rutten saidthat packs of coyotes were spotted severalyears ago near CTH A and the landfill, andhowling was heard in neighborhoods

EMERGENCY OR INCLEMENT WEATHERCLOSING PROCEDURES

As we begin another year, it is once again time to review the procedures for school closings due to inclement weather. As in the past, we ask parents to discuss this issue with their children NOW - before the actual emergencyoccurs. If you are generally not home during the day, be sure your child knows NOW where they are to go ifschool closed early (Will they go home with a classmate? Older sibling? A relative? Have you made prior arrange-ments with this individual to be on “stand by” for these occasions?) In emergency closing situations, forty orfifty children wanting to call home/work to find out where to go, seriously delays the entire closing process.Please make sure your arrangements 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 orderto afford parents the opportunity to make alternate child care transportation plans. All closing announcementsor early dismissals will be made on the following area radio/television stations:

WHBL (1330 AM), WXER (104.5 OR 96.1 FM ), WSTM (91.3 FM) “The Breeze,” WLKN (98.1)

WTMJ - Channel 4, WFRV - Channel 5, WISN - Channel 12, NBC 26 - Channel 26, WLUK -Channel 11, WITI -Channel 6, WBAY-TV/DT 2 - Channel 2.

Counselor’s CornerIn kindergarten through fifth grade guidance lessons the students are working onthe Lions-Quest unit “Growing Up Drug-Free” which focuses on health andsafety. The younger grades learn the differences between foods, medicines andpoisons while the older students learn about tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.Upper elementary students are taught how to use assertiveness and resistanceskills in typical drug-related situations involving young people their age. Oursixth grade students have just finished their Learner Resumes and are lookingforward to presenting what they have learned as well as talking about their tran-sition to middle school during upcoming Individual Planning Conferences withMrs. Multer. Parents of sixth graders look for information about the IndividualPlanning Conference coming home soon. Soon this same group will be startingan extensive unit on making healthy choices that also focuses on substance useand abuse learning resistance skills. Full course summaries for each grade levelare available on-line under curriculum on the school website. Parents, pleasemake a point of taking to your child(ren) about what they are learning in guid-ance. They need to hear from you about your family’s stance on peer pressure,alcohol and drug issues. If you have any questions or concerns regarding ourschool counseling curriculum please feel free give me a call or stop by to exam-ine our curriculum.

Thank you to all the parents of juniors who attend the Individual Planning Con-ferences in January and February – we had about 95% of parents attend. Mr.Benish and I spent several days last month working with high school students toreview student progress towards graduation and make course requests for the2009-2010 school year. Thank you, parents for working with your students andgetting these requests into the office in a timely manner.

As always, parents feel free to make an appointment to meet with me or call(459-2921 ext. 1301) or send an e-mail ([email protected]) if you haveany questions or concerns regarding your child(ren).
