Volume 9, Number 8November 15, 2013
Submitted by Kohler SchoolsAt its Annual Meeting on Octo-
ber 28, 2013, the Kohler School
Board approved a final 2013/2014
school budget and tax levy. The
levy for the year will decrease
0.6%. The corresponding levy rate
will drop an estimated 1.2%, due
to an increase in property values of
0.7%. The budget approved by the
Board projects a surplus for a third
consecutive year. The surplus is es-
timated at $4,250.
“This budget reflects the School
Board's priorities of providing a
great education for our students
while maintaining our fiscal re-
sponsibilities to the community at
large. The Kohler School District
is very fortunate to have an ex-
tended network of engaged indi-
viduals and organizations.
Through this support, we are able
to consistently provide a 1st class
educational experience for our
children,” stated Board President
Marlene Yang.
The total school tax levy for the
2012/2013 school year was
$5,616,000. The total levy for the
2013/2014 school year is
$5,585,000, a decrease of $31,000
or 0.6%. The estimated tax levy
rate will fall from $10.65 per
$1,000 of property value to $10.52,
a reduction of 1.2%.
The 2013/2014 budget is not
only balanced but includes signifi-
cant investments in teacher and
student technology, professional
development for staff, and long-
term capital improvements. The
long-term capital improvements
fund will be built up over time to
provide for major repairs and im-
provements in the future.
The Treasurer’s report at the An-
nual Meeting included an explana-
tion of the factors comprising the
$31,000 decrease in the tax levy.
Factors increasing the levy were 1)
an increase in per pupil revenue of
0.7%, allowed by the State of Wis-
consin Department of Public In-
struction, totaling $39,000; and 2)
a decrease in state aid of $26,000.
Factors decreasing the levy were
1) a decrease of $75,000 for Com-
munity Service costs (Fund 80); 2)
a decrease of $20,000 due to a de-
cline in student membership based
on a three year average; and 3)
$1,000 of other items.
The Board is pleased to have a
balanced budget while using all
available resources to support a
high quality education in Kohler
Schools.
School budget approved–includesreduction in tax levy
By Mary Struck Frequent Kohler visitors Dave
and Tami Pinsker from northern
Illinois celebrated their 15th An-
niversary a year ago with a week-
end stay at The American Club.
“We love Kohler. Our blood pres-
sure drops as soon as we arrive,”
said Dave, 46. Tami, 45, agreed,
“We just love Kohler! It’s always
an adventure when we come
here!”
The Pinskers were back in
Kohler recently on November 1,
revisiting the scene of one of their
more memorable anniversary ac-
tivities. They were joined by a cou-
ple of newly acquired friends from
West Bend named Ralph and Mike
Ripple.
As the four gathered on the tiny
shore of Wood Lake, Tami ex-
plained that she and Dave had been
eager to make their anniversary
weekend in Kohler a year ago ad-
venturous. They perused the re-
sort’s list of suggested activities
and decided to try the Paddle
Board Yoga lessons offered by
Yoga on the Lake. Tami said Dave
was less eager to try something
“new and adventurous,” but, for
the sake of a memorable anniver-
sary, he grabbed a paddleboard and
headed out on Wood Lake to learn
how to “combine yoga postures
with the added fun of floating on a
stand up paddleboard in flat
water.”
Dave held up his smartphone,
pointing it toward the lake. It dis-
played a summer photo of the lake
taken shortly after their Paddle-
board Yoga lesson from the same
spot where he now stood. “That
looks like the area right there,”
Dave said as he pointed out toward
the lake. “I’m sure of it. I feel re-
ally good about this.”
Mike Ripple trudged into the
chilly water wearing a wet suit. He
and Ralph weren’t there for Pad-
dleboard Yoga lessons. The Rip-
ples are owners of Divers Delight
Charter, which offers scuba diving
lessons and charter service for
divers. They also offer free lost-
and-found diving services, which
is what brought them to Kohler on
November 1 to meet up with the
Pinskers. They were there to
search for Dave’s wedding band,
which had slipped off his finger as
he was flailing around on his pad-
dleboard trying to move his body
into greater alignment with the
universe.
Tami, bubbling with excite-
ment, said she “probably drank
half of Wood Lake” during her
yoga lesson. “That’s one reason
why we love coming to Kohler so
much, it’s always an adventure.”
Dave agreed. “As soon as we ar-
rive in Kohler, our blood pressures
drop,” he repeated.
Unfortunately, Dave’s ring
dropped six feet to the bottom of
Wood Lake faster than his blood
pressure has ever dropped. “I saw
the ring as it sank, and my heart
sank with it,” he said.

including Brooke Warren, daugh-
ter of the Paddleboard Yoga in-
structor Jessica Warren, put on
swim goggles and joined the
search, but the ring was never
found that weekend. The Pinskers
returned home from their anniver-
sary celebration weighed down
with a little sadness.
“The ring wasn’t very fancy,”
said Dave. He wanted something
simple, not showy – just a basic
band of gold. But the sentimental
value made the couple determined
to come back and find it. They
spent the following year trying to
pin down a date when another
diver who worked for law enforce-
ment could meet them in Kohler,
but that diver was too busy re-
sponding to assignments all over
the globe. So the couple took to the
Internet to find someone else.
That’s when they found Divers
Delight and contacted Ralph in
late October. They were expecting
Ralph to set up a date months into
the future, but were pleasantly
shocked when he asked if they
could meet in Kohler in a few
days.
While the cost of just getting
professional divers to the location
of a lost item can cost upwards of
$100 to $200, Ralph said he and
Mike just enjoy helping people
find cherished items they think are
lost forever. “We don’t need to
make money from doing some-
thing we love,” Ralph said.
Ralph Ripple, 74, is one of
those easy going, happy-go-lucky
guys that almost anyone would
want to spend hours talking to
about his adventures. He began
diving for the military service in
1957 and has seen it all. He said
that while most people associate
scuba diving with the Caribbean or
Great Coral Reef, it doesn’t get
much better than the Great Lakes,
where his favorite excursions are
searching for shipwrecks. The
sunken vessels and their artifacts
are usually in plain view with little
degradation, unlike in the ocean
where depth and coral hinder
divers, and artifacts may be cor-
roded by salt water or wood-bor-
ing sea creatures.
Mike was also a military diver,
in his case during Desert Storm.
The father and son have been re-
covering items from under water
for more than 20 years. Their lost-
and-found services started as a
favor for area fishermen who lost
gear or buoys that mark ship-
wrecks off Port Washington’s
coast, but soon turned into a major
hobby.
When the Ripples are called to
retrieve lost items, car keys top the
list. They keep their most interest-
ing finds a closely guarded secret,
though. As Mike snaked around
the floor of Wood Lake with his
waterproof metal detector, Dave,
Tami, and I each took turns trying
to convince Ralph to tell us about
his most interesting find. Captain
Ralph just grinned and looked off
into the distance, and we knew
there was no sense probing a mili-
tary man who had been diving
longer than any of us had been
alive. A feature story by a Port
Washington newspaper did reveal
that the team once recovered a
woman’s set of false teeth that was
lost while the owner was looking
over the edge of a boat.
Ralph does like to tell of finding
an old anchor with the chain still
attached. He had it pulled out of
the lake and displayed in his front
yard until donating it to Port Wash-
ington Marina, where it now sits
on display. He also told of how an-
other diver found a beautiful turn-
of-the-century gold plated
woman’s pistol in Pewaukee Lake.
“It was throwing distance from the
shore, and two chambers were
empty,” said Ralph. “I sure would
like to know the story behind that
one!” He also talked about a diver
finding an old Coke bottle that
ended up being worth $500. The
bottle had vertical script wording
on it, which was produced only in
Milwaukee from about 1905-1910.
Divers Delight made headlines
in 2011 when their boat, carrying
a three-person crew and ten scuba
divers in Lake Michigan, capsized
two miles east of Whitefish Bay
and had to be rescued by the U.S.
Coast Guard. The group had gone
out to do a couple of 100-foot
dives to a shipwreck when they
were surprised by an unexpected
barrage of four to six foot waves
that hit the vessel sideways. The
Ripples later learned they had been
in a “perfect storm” situation
where the effects of Hurricane
Irene departing the East Coast con-
verged with another weather sys-
tem, causing a change of
barometric pressure directly over
the area of Lake Michigan where
Ripple’s vessel was anchored. The
pressure change caused a sucking
phenomenon that kicked up the
waves.
The capsizing probably wasn’t
quite what Ralph had in mind
when he had originally decided to
offer his lost-and-found services.
He left brochures in the Port Wash-
ington marina office that read,
"When calm inner harbor waters
try to steal your stuff, the best way
to get it back is by adding a Ripple
to the water."
Unfortunately, adding Ripples
to the waters of Wood Lake on No-
vember 1 was unsuccessful in
yielding Dave’s ring. Mike re-
ported a lot of rocks and fishing
lures on the bottom of the lake, but
no ring.
The Pinskers said having divers
search the lake brought some
peace in knowing they have now
tried everything they could to re-
cover the ring. They haven’t given
up quite yet, as Ralph and Mike of-
fered to come back in the spring.
But Tami said even if the next at-
tempt is unsuccessful, they will
look forward to their regular
Kohler visits knowing they now
have a special link to their Wiscon-
sin getaway. “We hope this event
will give Dave and I cause to re-
turn to Kohler to renew our vows
someday soon. We look forward to
putting this sentimental loss be-
hind knowing what a tranquil and
peaceful place it lies in at Wood
Lake,” Tami said.
The Pinskers want to thank
Ralph and Mike Ripple, as well as
the young ladies who helped with
the search. (Thanks also to Jessica
Warren at Yoga on the Lake for
connecting the Pinskers with TheKohler Villager for this story).

Kohler Elementary students attend Trees for TomorrowEAGLE RIVER – Fifteen fifth-graders from Kohler ElementarySchool learned about bog ecology,bears, wolves, birds of prey, Wis-consin’s logging history and moreduring a recent visit to Trees ForTomorrow in Eagle River.
It was the third year for Kohlerstudents to attend a workshop atTrees For Tomorrow, a private,nonprofit natural resources spe-
cialty school. The workshops pro-vide students with hands-on learn-ing activities in an outdoorenvironment.
“Students had an in-depth lookat the relationships between boththe living and non-living thingsfound in an ecosystem,” saidteacher Duane DuMez, one of thechaperones on the trip. “Theylearned the value of investigating
these relationships and how theyare impacted by changes in theirenvironment that are both positiveand negative.”
The Kohler students alsolearned how to use a map andcompass and applied that knowl-edge during an orienteering activ-ity in the field.
“The orienteering exercise wassomething totally new and the stu-dents not only had to learn the useof a compass, they were then chal-lenged by applying these newskills in a totally new setting – re-lying on themselves not to get lostin the Nicolet National Forest,”DuMez said. “They went off thebeaten path to traverse difficult ter-rain with the end goal to find thebus (that transported them to theforest) after an hour of hikingthrough the wilderness.”
Trees For Tomorrow is an ac-credited nonprofit natural re-sources specialty school thatserves school groups throughoutWisconsin, Michigan and Illinois.It provides both daylong andmulti-day educational workshopsfocusing on natural resources man-agement.
Teachers choose from more than
50 courses to customize work-shops that best meet the needs oftheir students.
Financial support from AmandaBrotz, Mrs. Pat Brotz, Mr. andMrs. Mel Free and Mrs. Cy Blazermade it possible for the Kohlerstudents to attend the educationalworkshop at Trees For Tomorrow,Oct. 21-23.
“This was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience for these kids,”
DuMez said. “I believe it openedtheir eyes to both the environmen-tal issues and the career opportu-nities that are offered in the naturalresource fields.”

Bomber Basketball Clubis rolling out its
2014 Raffle Calender !
On SaleNOW!!!
Catching up with two former KHS golfers In June of 2011 Jenna Peters and
Logan Willis, C0-MVPs for the
Kohler Blue Bombers Boy’s golf
team, led the team to its first
WIAA State Championship. Now
both players have moved on to
successful careers as NCAA Divi-
sion 1 athletes.
Peters, a junior at Butler Univer-
sity in Indianapolis, Indiana has
been a top performer each season
for the Bulldogs helping them win
conference championships the past
two years in two different confer-
ences (2012 for the Horizon
League and 2013 for the Metro-At-
lantic-Athletic-Conference). The
team earned bids in the NCAA
Midwest Regional Finals both
years. This season has seen more
changes for the program. Now a
member of the Big East Confer-
ence, Jenna and her Butler team-
mates will be vying for a third
straight conference title next
spring.
Willis, a freshman at Loyola
University in Chicago, Illinois
came in as a highly touted recruit
and quickly established herself as
a top player on the roster. Only half
a season into her college career,
Willis has already broken two
school records and led the Loyola
Rambler team to a record setting
victory in the final tournament of
their fall season. She was named
Missouri Valley Conference Golfer
of the Week on October 31.
This season, Loyola moved out
of the Horizon League to the more
competitive Missouri Valley Con-
ference (MVC). Given their recent
victory at an event that featured
other MVC teams as well as teams
from the Big East and the Atlantic
10, they expect to be a strong con-
ference contender in the spring.
Peters and Willis talked about
what it’s like playing college golf
at the Division 1 level.
Can you each talk a little bitabout your play so far this season? Peters: This fall was a fairly
light schedule compared to past
seasons. Individually, I had a
strong fall season with two top-
three finishes and one top-five with
an average of 76.0. One highlight
was placing third place at both the
Green Bay and Butler home tour-
naments. At our home tournament
I finished third behind two Purdue
women golfers, one of which was
almost named an All American last
year. I am proud of what I have
achieved this past fall season but
of course there is always room for
improvement, especially with my
driver.
Willis: This fall I wasn’t very
consistent in my long game at the
start. Actually, it (the inconsis-
tency) really started in the summer
and just carried into the fall. So, I
really focused on making a couple
swing changes with my coaches,
especially with my long irons. My
short game was what kept me to-
gether in the beginning of the sea-
son and I never stopped working
hard on that either. By the end of
the season that hard work paid off
with the win at the Evansville
Tournament.
Both of your teams have movedinto new conferences where thelevel of competition is expectedto be much higher. Talk brieflyabout how the level of competi-tion has been compared to whatyou expected prior to the season?Willis: The level of competition is
just as high as I was expecting be-
fore I went into the season. I knew
moving in the MVC that there
would be a lot of girls posting low
scores consistently.
Peters: I have said to my team-
mates that the Big East has no idea
what’s coming. I want to make it to
another NCAA Regional. The Big
East is a lot more competitive than
the MAAC, but hopefully our hard
work and dedication will pay off. I
am confident in my teammates and
myself to pull through another
conference victory.
Talk a little bit about your teams.What do you do think has madeyou and your team successful?Peters: With Julia Porter and Ali
Arends graduated and gone, we
lost two great leaders. Our team
had to make adjustments with each
one of us stepping up our leader-
ship skills and contributing to the
team. Now being in the third con-
ference in three years (Horizon
League, MAAC, Big East) I feel
like this is a great opportunity for
us to show people what we are
truly made of. From what I see
during our practices and workout
sessions, there’s a great sense of
drive and commitment by each
team member. I love being a part
of the Butler golf team. It is like
my own little family on campus.
Our girls and guys team are very
close, which makes practices and
workouts a lot more fun. The guys’
team is basically my other set of
brothers. Without becoming part of
this team, I don’t think my college
experience would be as memo-
rable. Go Dawgs!
Willis: My team is great. We’re
Eight Kohler football players on
the Sheboygan Lutheran/Kohler/
Sheboygan Christian co-op high
school team were awarded 2013
Central Lakeshore Conference
post-season honors as voted by the
league coaches.
Selected as one of the two wide
receivers on the All-Conference
Second Team Offense was senior
Brett Mueller. Mueller led the con-
ference is receiving yardage (339)
and was second in receptions with
21 and touchdowns with four. Al-
together, Mueller scored six touch-
downs on the season and had a
two-point conversion as well.
Four players received Honor-
able Mention on offense. They
were sophomore Michael
Chorowicz, who was third in the
conference with 19 catches, scored
four touchdowns, and had a two-
point conversion; seniors Zach
Neil and Ben Andringa, who both
played on the offensive line; and
running back Caleb Kelly, a jun-
ior, who led the conference in
rushing yardage (541), scored five
touchdowns, kicked nine extra
points, and had a two-point con-
version.
Three of these same players, as
well as two others, received Hon-
orable Mention on defense.
Named were Ben Andringa and
senior Taylor Zastrow, both inte-
rior lineman; linebacker Zach
Neil; and defensive backs Michael
Chorowicz and senior Eric Bauer.
Bauer, who also played quarter-
back, led the conference in passing
yardage (819) and touchdown
passes (8).
The team was coached by Matt
Zavada.
all very supportive of each other.
When you qualify for every tour-
nament it’s easy to become com-
petitive or jealous, but our team
isn’t like that. The team is very ex-
cited about our win because this
was our first tournament with a lot
of conference teams. Our goals
next spring are to keep going this
low and even lower, and to hope-
fully take home a conference
championship. Personally, I was a
bit surprised to win a tournament
so quickly. Not because I doubt
my abilities, but the way that I was
playing earlier in the season didn’t
quite give me the confidence. But,
I went into the last tournament
with a good feeling and my game
had finally come together. I was
striking my irons great. Whenever
I got up to the tee box after a
birdie, all I could think was go
lower. The only thing that was off
was my putting. I left a lot of short
birdie putts out there both days, or
could have been REALLY low.
Many people aren’t aware of theamount of time and dedicationthat goes into being a Division 1athlete. Talk a little bit about thelife of a college athlete (goodand bad). Willis: A typical week for me is
usually three days of afternoon
practices (3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.),
then two to three days of early
Kohler senior Valerie Linck
earned Honorable Mention from
the All-Central Lakeshore Confer-
ence for volleyball.
Linck, who was team captain
and voted Most Valuable Player,
led the team in kills (132) and
blocks (82), and had 25 block as-
sists.

morning workouts (6:00 a.m.-8:00
a.m.) with classes in between.
Plus, there are up to three to four
days of travel each week to tourna-
ments. Most people don’t realize
that many D1 athletes have most of
their daily lives mapped out by the
athletic department and the school.
A lot of people in college have free
time, but DI athletes hardly have
any. This could be difficult and
very overwhelming for some, but
this is actually an advantage for
me, because it keeps me focused
on my schoolwork and my game.
It does get now and then to balance
everything, but for the most part
I’m used to it with all the traveling
I did for hockey in high school.
Peters: I love being a DI college
athlete! I wouldn’t trade it for any-
thing else. The atmosphere and the
individuals that you meet are
amazing. It takes a lot of time and
dedication to pull off success in the
classroom and with your sport. It
is a great experience. I remember
coming in my freshman year and
not knowing what to expect. That’s
when everything hit me. As an ath-
lete, time management is a major
priority. For me, classes are usually
from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. every
day. Then I head over to practice
from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. When I am
at tournaments, we’re usually on
the course for seven hours or
twelve (if 36 holes), and afterward
you are so tired it’s hard to do
homework. The off-season isn’t
much of a break either, with 6:00
a.m. workouts two times a week
and sometimes skill practices later
in the day. As athletes, we have to
balance our school, sports, and so-
cial life. It was hard in the begin-
ning, but now it just comes natural
to me. I have to remember that I
am representing my school and I
want to make them see me as a
dedicated and hardworking athlete.
Finally, what is your favoritething about being a DI athlete? Willis: My favorite thing about
being a college athlete is getting to
travel all over the country on the
weekends with my teammates. We
have a lot of fun.
Peters: I would say the best
thing about being a DI athlete is
the atmosphere and people. Within
my three years I have made life-
long friends through Butler athlet-
ics.
Editor’s note: Thanks to KohlerHS golf coach Dirk Willis for com-piling the interview questions.
Peters, Willis, continued from page 5
In 2012 the Kohler High School
Boys’ soccer program was at a low
point. After six years of dominat-
ing the Central Lakeshore Confer-
ence with five conference
championships, they went 7-16-1,
at one point only able to field 14
players due to injury. So when the
team was 1-4 after five games to
start the 2013 season, many people
were wondering if the team was
going to continue to struggle, de-
spite picking up 10 new players in
the freshmen class. Another ques-
tion being asked was who could
step up and replace outgoing sen-
ior Connor Hogan, Kohler’s stand-
out player from 2012, who
currently is playing soccer at
Carthage College.
The turning point was a team
meeting after losing 3-2 at home
against Howards Grove. The team
reset its goals for the rest of the
season and lost only five out of the
next 21 games, ending up with a
record of 15-9-2 and a third place
finish in the conference.
There were several highlights
during the season, these include
coming back from 3-1 down at
home to beat Living Word
Lutheran 4-3, tying Oostburg away
1-1 and beating Howards Grove
away 3-2. The team played one of
its best games at the Green Bay
East tournament, where they beat
2013 state semifinalist Sturgeon
Bay 1-0.
The team ended the season with
five players earning All-Confer-
ence honors. Joe Pellowski and
Ben Madigan were unanimous 1st
Team All-Conference selections,
senior goalkeeper Calvin Ste-
fanczyck was also a 1st Team se-
lection. Connor Sbrocco was 2nd
Team All-Conference and John
Nebel was Honorable Mention.
The team was recently awarded
the National Soccer Coaches Asso-
ciation of America Academic
Award for the sixth season in a
row. This award is given to teams
who maintain a cumulative 3.2
GPA over the academic year.
Head Coach Scott Feltner said,
“I am proud of this team and
would acknowledge our team cap-
tains and senior players for their
leadership. Not only did they come
back from a poor start to the sea-
son but they displayed the same
determination in coming back in
games during the season after
being down. This sort of character
will serve them well in life, let
alone playing soccer.”
“I would also note the contribu-
tion of our freshmen players. We
had five freshmen letter winners,
which is a first for the program.
This is a remarkable achievement
and I’m really looking forward to
working with these guys the next
few years. The future of the pro-
gram looks bright.”
