Village nearing adoption of
comprehensive plan
By Kevin Struck, University of Wisconsin-Extension
In 2006, the Village contracted with
Martenson & Eisele, Inc. for the preparation
of a new comprehensive plan to update the
existing Village Master Plan, which is
almost 30 years old, and to fulfill the
Smart Growth requirements of Wisconsin
statutes. Leading the effort has been the
Village Plan Commission and Long-Range
Strategic Plan Committee, which include
representatives from Kohler Co. and Kohler
Public Schools. Together, these committees
have overseen the distribution of a commu-
nity wide citizen opinion survey, and
reviewed and provided feedback on draft
chapters presented by the consultant.
The draft Comprehensive Plan has also
been reviewed and approved by Kohler Co.
management. The Plan Commission and
Strategic Long-Range Plan Committee will
have a joint meeting on Thursday,
September 6 to review the final draft of the
Plan and consider passing a resolution rec-
ommending Village Board approval. If
approved and recommended by the Plan
Commission, the Village Board would hold
a public hearing on Monday, October 15.
Depending on the input received at the pub-
lic hearing, the Comprehensive Plan could
be adopted by ordinance following the hear-
ing.
The draft Comprehensive Plan contains
information and numerous recommenda-
tions and policies for housing, transporta-
tion, utilities, Village facilities, economic
development, natural and cultural
resources, land use, and intergovernmental
relations. The proposed overall vision of the
Plan is as follows: The Village of Kohler
desires to remain one of Wisconsins finest
planned communities by growing in an
intentional and planned manner that will
preserve and enhance its Village atmos-
phere, high quality of life, and natural
assets.
The goal for future land use is to contin-
ue to work with Kohler Co. to consistently
apply the land use design principals that
have made the Village unique among other
communities, and strive to continue sup-
porting planned mixed-use growth that
maintains a small-town atmosphere. A
Future Land Use Map has been drafted, and
it shows potential areas of future develop-
ment. Potential residential areas are shown
west of Woodland Road; north of STH 23;
and south of STH 28. Commercial areas
along the west side of CTH A; north of STH
23 along CTH Y; south of STH 28 near
Prange Road; and east of I-43 along Union
Avenue. Industrial/business park develop-
ment might someday occur east of Highland
Drive and south of STH 23.
A limited number of copies for public
review are located at the Kohler Library and
the Village Hall.
Comprehensive planning includes land use, natural resources, utilities, transportation, parks and more.
From the editor: The Kohler Villager is a community paper
By Mary Struck, editor/publisher
The Kohler Villager begins its third year
of publication with this issue. Feedback
from many residents has been positive, and
the strong response from advertisers has
been greatly appreciated. Of course, sug-
gestions and complaints are always wel-
comed as well.
Occasionally, it comes out in conversa-
tions with residents that misperceptions
about the publishing of The Kohler Villager
exist. The most persistent misperceptions
are that The Kohler Villager is published by
Kohler Co., or Kohler Public Schools, or
the Village of Kohler. The Kohler Villager
is independently owned and published by
Terra Media, LLC, which is co-owned by
Kohler residents Kevin and Mary Struck.
In order to provide the newspaper free
of charge to all Kohler residents and busi-
nesses, advertising space is provided to all
interested businesses. Kohler Co. has gen-
erously supported The Kohler Villager
through its Destination Kohler ads and the
back page listing of upcoming events, but
Kohler Co. does not otherwise involve
itself with the content of stories and articles
other than to occasionally provide informa-
tion requested by Terra Media, LLC.
The Kohler Times is a separate publica-
tion by Kohler Public Schools. To save on
postage and printing, the Kohler Times is
inserted inside The Kohler Villager. The
school contracts with Terra Media, LLC for
the printing, desktop publishing, and mail-
ing of its newsletter insert, but all content in
the Kohler Times is determined by Kohler
Public Schools.
The Kohler Public Library and Village
of Kohler also determine the content of
their respective pages, which they submit
each month. The remaining content of The
Kohler Villager is determined by Terra
Media, LLC in the interest of the communi-
ty. To that end, residents of all ages are
encouraged to submit articles and photos,
or suggest coverage of a story or event they
would like to see printed. The deadline is
the 20th of each month preceding the next
months issue.
Due to two postage rate increases in the
past two years, postage for first class mail-
ings of The Kohler Villager to readers out-
side of Kohler is now $1.14 per issue. As a
result, the subscription rate has been
increased to $12 per year. If you are a
Kohler resident, or the family of school
choice students attending Kohler Schools,
you should be receiving an issue in the mail
each month at no charge. Contact me if
youve never received an issue. If you live
in Kohler and delivery seems to be habitual-
ly off-and-on, please notify the Postmaster
at the Sheboygan Falls Post Office. The
Kohler Villager is also available online for
viewing and printing at kohlervillager.com.
All correspondence may be sent to
kohlervillager@charter.net, or Terra Media,
LLC, 219 Church St., Kohler, WI 53044, or

Kohler High School
teacher participates in
national curriculum
Dana Krejcarek, Kohler High School
science teacher, was selected by the
National Geographic Society to represent
Wisconsin science teachers at the
National Summer Literacy Institute in
Washington, D.C. While in Washington,
Krejcarek participated in events focused
on the latest literacy research for English
language learners and for best ways to
develop nonfiction literacy in the field of
science. Conference strands included
making core content accessible, integrat-
ing nonfiction reading and writing, imple-
menting cutting-edge research, and facili-
tating academic success for all students.
Dana was able to network with fellow
educators to share best practices and com-
pare solutions in the area of science edu-
cation.
Dana was also selected to attend the
National Board for Professional Teaching
Standards National Conference in
Washington, D.C. this summer. NBPTS,
founded in 1987, created a system of
advanced certification for teachers based
on high and rigorous standards. As a
nationally board certified teacher in the
area of chemistry, Dana was selected to
represent high school science teachers
from Wisconsin at this national confer-
ence designed to help teachers make con-
nections to link teaching and leadership.
Other highlights and goals of the confer-
ence included discovering new teaching
and leadership approaches, learning key
strategies to improve instruction, men-
toring strategies, and participating in
Capital Hill Day to discuss educational
issues with state senators and members
of congress. Keynote speakers included
Kimberly Oliver, 2006 National Teacher
of the Year, and Ron Clark, Disneys
America Teacher of the Year.
Additionally, Krejcarek will continue
her participation in the Advanced
Placement Chemistry Redesign
Commission project that began last
school year. Dana was chosen to repre-
sent high school chemistry teachers on
this twelve member commission directed
by the National Science Foundation in
Washington, D.C. and the College Board
in New York City. The College Board is
redesigning the Advanced Placement
programs for high schools in the United
States in the areas of chemistry, physics,
biology, and environmental science.
They are also redesigning theses courses
at the introductory collegiate level. The
project will begin its second phase this
fall.

The University of Wisconsin-Sheboy-
gan will offer area residents a new option
in foreign language instruction this fall
with the addition of Mandarin Chinese to
the UW-Sheboygan Continuing Education
Offices schedule of fall 2007 classes.
The course is specially designed for
beginners to learn Mandarin Chinese. Stu-
dents will enjoy learning a unique, short-
cut method to learn to speak Chinese,
starting with basics and progressing
quickly in a fun and easy way.
The series of lessons will teach greet-
ings, courtesy, introductions, dates, num-
bers, nationality, questions, etc. The
instructor, Hai Yu, has 17 years of teach-
ing experience, including six years of
teaching Chinese. He received his B.A. in
Philosophy from Peking University and
taught for six years at Renmin University
in China after receiving his M.A. degree
there.
Since 2003, Hai Yu has been a Chinese
instructor at Milwaukee Modern Chinese
School and at the University of Wiscon-
sin-Waukesha. He has created his own
textbook and unique teaching method that
allows students to learn words by their
forms while teaching Chinese scripts and
characters. After students master a group
of characters, they then build the words
and phrases and eventually construct sen-
tences and dialogues.
Mandarin Chinese will be offered
Thursdays, September 20, 27; October 4,
11, 18, 25; November 1, 8, 15, 29; Decem-
ber 6, 13 (no class November 22). Class

Middle School
implementation
has been set
Middle School implementation as presented
by the administration was passed by the Board
of Education. The core teachers of Mr. Schad,
Mr. Roeder, Ms. Dietz, and Ms. LaBudde have
been working over the summer to create the 7th
& 8th Grade Middle School. The Middle School
will be located on the second floor and the stu-
dents will move between the four core teachers
in the morning on their own schedule. They will
have their own lunch period from 11:40 a.m.-
12:10 p.m. In the afternoon, the students will
have their exploratory classes including band,
choir, computers, art, family and consumer edu-
cation, tech ed., physical ed., and Spanish.
During part of this time, the four core teachers
will meet to team plan and to discuss student
performance plans.
If you have any questions regarding the new
Middle School program, please contact Principal
Northey at 459-2920 x 1102 or via e-mail at
northeyl@kohler.k12.wi.us.
Elementary small class
sizes grades JK, SK, and
grade 1 for 2007-08
school year
The Board of Education approved the administration
plan to lower class sizes in the early education portion of
the school. The theory is to get students more one-on-one
attention with the teacher and to move the classes further
in the curriculum than ever before. An expectation has
been set by administration for each grade level to begin
the next grade levels curriculum in the 4th quarter. For
example, the Grade 1 classes should be working on Grade
2 materials in the 4th quarter this school year.
If you have any questions concerning the smaller Class
size initiative, please contact Principal Jaberg at 459-2920
x1300 or via e-mail at jabergs@kohler.k12.wi.us.
JK-Grade 12 Spanish
Fluency Program
begins
The Board of Education approved the administration propos-
al for a JK-Grade 12 Spanish Fluency Program. The program
will begin elementary students on a path to become fluent in
Spanish by the time they graduate. Elementary classes will
receive direct Spanish instruction from a Spanish teacher.
The Middle School students will receive what previously
was taught as Spanish I in 9th grade. This advancement will
allow students as they finish high school to take a Spanish V
class not previously offered at Kohler Schools. The class
will include some immersion requirements in order to ensure
student fluency.

Benefit spaghetti dinner to be held for
two staff members facing health crises
Recently, we have had two dearly loved members of our staff experience significant and overwhelming health
tragedies in their lives.
Julee Loose, a long time veteran member of our custodial staff, was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. Julee has
undergone several chemotherapy treatments, and most recently, an extensive and complicated surgery to remove the
tumor as well as the other extensively affected areas of the cancer. Although these initial steps have been taken to con-
tain, and hopefully, eliminate the cancer, Julee faces continued medical care in the many months ahead and will be
unable to work.
Lori Schmid's husband, Al, (Lori is our MS/HS special education teacher), was recently involved in an ATV accident.
As a result of the accident, Al sustained significant injuries which has required him to remain unemployed. During
tests and x-rays related to the accident, a very large tumor was found on his kidney. This tumor is believed to be can-
cerous and has affected several other vital organs. Surgery is scheduled for Monday, August 27th to remove the tumor,
and in all likelihood, his kidney and other affected organs. Like Julee, Al will most likely be unemployed for an exten-
sive period of time due to the medical care that he will require in the months ahead.
In effort to assist these families financially, Kohler Schools will be holding an All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti Dinner to
raise funds that will be equally divided between both families. Please mark your calendars for this very important
date.

Children with disabilities procedure
The school district must locate, identify, and evaluate all children with disabil-
ities, including children with disabilities attending private schools in the school
district, regardless of the severity of their disabilities. The school district has a
special education screening program to evaluate all children with suspected
disabilities and are at least three years old. Upon request the school district
will screen a child who has not graduated high school to determine whether a
special education referral is appropriate. A request may be made by contact-
ing Jeff Dickert, District Administrator, Kohler School District, at 459-2920

Healthy Student
A major emphasis over this next school year will be to transition into a Wellness Policy that includes changes in the foods and snacks offered at Kohler Schools as well as increas-
ing the physical activity of our students. As part of this transition, several lunchroom changes will begin this school year:
White Skim milk will be the only milk served at school.
No fast food will be allowed to be brought into the cafeteria by students or parents. Parents are welcome to eat with their children and can either bring a healthy cold lunch or
purchase a hot lunch. If you are going to eat a hot lunch you need to call the Principal's office in the morning to reserve a meal.
Middle School students (Grades 7 & 8) will eat the regular hot lunch meal and will not have the option to purchase ala carte items as in the past.
The Wellness Committee will recommend to administration a list of appropriate snacks for the morning snack break and will eliminate inappropriate snack items.
The kitchen staff and the Wellness Committee will work together this year to continue to refine the school lunch menu to be as healthy as possible.
The Wellness Committee will recommend additional activities that may take place before or after school to keep students active and increase their overall health.

Students, ready to
return to school?
Parents, how you can help!
Information from Susan Jaberg-Principal
The entire staff of the Kohler Schools is ready for your return! We are excited for another school
year beginning in just a few weeks. Bulletin boards are up, desks are in place and new textbooks have
been ordered. We are ready! Are you???
Here are some suggestions for the making the first week of school an easy adjustment:
1. Summer is usually more relaxing so prior to school starting you'll want to get back into a school
routine. Start a routine one week prior to school starting. Set up a specific bedtime. Create a
chart for the first few weeks of school until your routines become habits. Give your child a star
on days he/she does everything without being asked.
2. Set aside some time each day for reading and math review.
3. Pick out special outfits for the first few days of school.
4. Set up a homework area. Provide all the study tools and set up regular homework schedules.
5. Set goals with your child for the coming school year.
6. Set aside some downtime for your child. Build some quiet time no TV, no CDs into this time. Set
aside 20-30 minutes for your children to relax and do low-key activities. This will help them unwind
and get back into the habit of enjoying simple, calming activities.
7. Watch less TV.
8. Declare the first day of school a family holiday. Dale Carnegie once said People rarely succeed
unless they have fun in what they are doing. Make school fun!!!!!!
* Have a special breakfast!!
* If possible, go to school as a family.
* Get excited!
* Buy something new to wear on the first day of school.
* After school, relax and let your children share every detail about his/her first day.
* Parents be proactive! Always support your child's teacher.
* Put a note in your child's lunch box (or backpack) with a thoughtful message: Can't wait to hear
about your day, or, we are proud of you.
* Celebrate by going out to eat or preparing a special celebration meal.
See you at 8:00 a.m., Tuesday, September 4, 2007

Spanish Opportunities
Submitted by Principal Susan Jaberg
Kohler Elementary School will begin Spanish
instruction in all elementary classrooms beginning
September, 2007. Mrs. Meinshock and Mrs.
Vrtikapa will meet with JK-6th students two or three
times weekly with progressive instruction.
The educational benefits of Spanish language learn-
ing in the Kohler Elementary School would:
1. Encourage students to be fluent in a second lan-
guage upon graduation from high school
2. Expose students to different Latin American cul-
tures.
3. Introduces children to the importance of acquiring
a second language.
After-School Spanish Programs via the University of
Sheboygan will continue to be offered at Kohler. All
after-school classes will start the first week of
October, watch for a flyer to be sent home with stu-
dents in early September with details. The After-
School Spanish program is set up to enhance what
your child has already learned in their daily class-
room program. After-School Spanish is a terrific
opportunity for the child who wishes to accelerate
his/her language learning or needs extra reinforce-
ment on his/her new learned language skills.
When should an ill child be kept home?
This is a difficult question for parents at time. The following guidelines may be helpful when making your decision.
DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL IF HE/SHE HAS:
1. An obviously contagious condition such as chicken pox, scabies, head lice, strep throat.
2. Fever-oral temperature of 100.6 or higher.
3. Diarrhea.
4. Vomiting.
5. Other signs of illness such as pallor, irritability, or excessive sleepiness.
6. A rash you cannot explain.
7. Drainage or pus from a crust sore (suggestive of impetigo or other infection).
YOU MAY SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL IF HE/SHE:
1. Has been taking antibiotics for infection for 24 hours or more.
2. Has a mild cold, cough or runny nose.
3. Is experiencing symptoms which are expected part of his/her medical condition.
4. Had minor bumps, bruises, scrapes, etc., that do not require medical attention.
Please exercise good judgment for your child's sake and the well-being of the other students and staff.
Any questions or concerns please contact me.
Thanks, Kim Feltner, RN, (School Nurse).

more representation by the community. In revamping this
process the Board of Education created a new entity
called the School Curriculum Committee (SCC). This
committee is charged to rigorously review current and
proposed curriculum at all levels and subject areas.
The SCC will be made up of three teachers, three par-
ents, and one administrator. The committee activities will
include the following:
Meet Monthly

Make recommendations to staff for change in current
curriculum and courses.
Review proposed curriculum & courses.
Make recommendations to Superintendent approving
new curriculum and courses.
Make recommendations to staff for new curriculum
and courses not offered.
Hold one listening session a year for public input con-
cerning curriculum and courses.
Conduct one survey a year of students rating current
curriculum and courses, as well as future curriculum
and courses possibilities.
Accept input and create action plans concerning rec-
ommendations made by an external review organiza-
tion.
Accept input and create action plans concerning rec-
ommendations made by the Curriculum and
Instruction Committee of the Board of Education.
Develop tracking report of progress to be included in
monthly Board of Education regular meeting packet.

Policy Change New Way to
Enter Elementary School
By Susan Jaberg, Elementary School Principal
Do you remember the old adage from your grandpar-
ents that says, An ounce of prevention equals a pound of
cure? In that light, you'll want to be aware of a new poli-
cy that begins with the start of this new school year in
September.
Based on information gleaned from past parent listen-
ing sessions, calls from concerned parents, discussions
with our local police personnel, and incidents from other
school districts, it is readily apparent that the issue of
enhanced student security for our elementary school stu-
dents be addressed beyond our current standards.
Specifically, we reviewed the observation that the ele-
mentary school may have some vulnerabilities based on the
number and locations of entrance doors that allow for
undetected persons to enter our elementary school. Some
of these entrance doors are out of range of surveillance
cameras and are not consistently monitored.
To address the concerns of many and risk the inconven-
ience of a few, a new policy was been established that calls
for ALL Elementary School students, parents, and visitors
to enter the school from only one entrance door, that being
the MAIN ENTRANCE off the main parking lot at Upper
Road. All other doors will be LOCKED and not accessible.
To aid this situation, the two doors adjacent to the elemen-
tary playground will be opened and monitored by school
aides dressed in bright orange vests 10 minutes prior to the
start of school and 10 minutes after the conclusion of the
school day.
Parents are always welcomed to escort their elementary
school children to the classroom, but of course must enter
from the main entrance or the two monitored playground
door entrances. During inclement weather days, students
are welcomed to enter the Main Entrance and wait and
congregate in front of the Elementary School Office area.
Tardy? Absent?
Parents, please call
the office
In the event that your child will not be attending
school or will be tardy, please call the atten-
dance voice mailbox and let the office know the
reason for the childs absence/tardiness. You can
reach the Attendance voice mailbox by dialing

An American Classic
To Be Staged by KHS
This November, students at Kohler High
School will stage a play that some consider
the greatest American play ever written.
Thorton Wilders OUR TOWN won a
Pulitzer Prize after it was first staged in
1938 and since then it has become a classic
of the American theatre.
Wilders biographer claimed that one
can find a performance of OUR TOWN
somewhere in the U.S. every single day of
the year. Theatre-goers in Kohler will be
able to see the play on November 9, 10 and
11, 2007 at the Kohler Memorial Theatre.
The play takes place at the turn of the
century in Grovers Corners, a small town
in New Hampshire. The central themes of
the play community, family, appreciation
of everyday life are traditional. But the
play is presented in a very untraditional
manner with no scenery and no props,
beyond a few tables and chairs. At the time
of its first production, this was quite radical,
but since then, many modern playwrights
have adopted this simple approach to stag-
ing their own plays.
The story revolves around Emily Webb
and George Gibbs, two young people who
have grown up as next- door neighbors. We
watch as their relationship changes from
friendship to love and then is sadly cut
short. Though the play is considered a
drama, with a deep and powerful message,
it is also filled with many moments of
laughter and light-heartedness.
Auditions were held in June and stu-
dents began rehearsing this summer.
Among the actors are Kristen Tesmer and
Ryan Stefanczyk playing Emily and
George. Their parents will be portrayed by
Ashley Neerhof, Nick Heneger, Erika
Farwig and Colin Johnson. The play is nar-
rated by a pair of stage managers played
by Jade Landry and Carli Roberts.
This cast is very talented and are going
to surprise everyone with the depth of char-
acter theyre able to portray, says Peggy
Hoffmann, director. This is a challenge for
them, a straight dramatic play, and they are
all proving that they can handle it. From
our experienced actors to the newcomers,
the students are going to give a memorable
performance.
OUR TOWN will be staged November
9-11 at Kohler Memorial Theatre. Tickets
will be available from cast members and in
the school office beginning in mid-
September.
HELP NEEDED!
Do you sew or crochet?? If so, the cast
and crew of OUR TOWN needs your help.
This period production requires many orig-
inal costumes and we have need for people
who can crochet simple shawls and people
who can sew. We will provide all materi-
als. Sewing can be as simple or complicat-
ed as your skills allow - from sewing on
buttons to hemming to altering mens' suits.
Costume and scenery
items needed!
We are still looking for some specific
costume and scenery items. We need mens'
suits in sizes 38 jacket and smaller. Three-
piece suits would be the best. We also need
two small wood kitchen tables (about 4' x
4') and a variety of wooden kitchen chairs
that look old. Also any costume items that
are turn-of-the-century vintage looking
would be welcomed.
Clean closet thanks to Eagle
Scout candidate
It has always been a mess! Anyone who
has set foot in the high schools costume
closet at Kohler Memorial Theatre knows
its like stepping into a black hole of crazy
clothes, sagging racks, old props, and
boxes stacked upon boxes. By the time
GREASE was over, there was almost no
room to move.
But not anymore. KHS sophomore
Markus Anderson decided to do something
about the mess. Searching for an Eagle
Scout project that reflected his interest in
the performing arts, he decided to take on
the costume closet. Markus scouted new
locations for the closet, but in the end,
decided to use the existing closet in the the-
atre.
Plans were drawn and Markus built the
closet components in the Tech Ed room
with the help of Mr. DeBruin. On April
29th, Markus, drama club members and
Markuss fellow Scouts met to completely
empty the closet and categorize each item in
clearly labeled storage bins. Next, Markus
cleaned out an additional basement closet
and on May 20th, he and several boys from
the Drama Club moved the bins downstairs
to make way for the beginning of construc-
tion. Construction was completed in June.
This project was just a wonderful gift to
the high school drama department, said
Drama Club advisor Peggy Hoffmann.
Markuss hard work will save future direc-
tors time and money by making it possible
to see everything KHS owns for costumes.
And we hope it will become a resource for
classroom teachers when they put on plays
or skits.

SEPTEMBER, 2007

THE KOHLER VILLAGER kohlervillager.com

happy to have Wisconsin lead the way
to even higher state spending and tax-
ation.
Thanks to the efforts of many peo-
ple over the past few years,
Wisconsin's tax burden has moved
down to the eighth highest-taxed state
in the nation from number four.
Unfortunately, if Senator Robson has
her way, Wisconsin would jump to
being the highest-taxed
state in the nation.
As your State Senator, one
of my top priorities is to fight
to get Wisconsin off of the
list of the ten highest taxed
states in the nation, to push
for lower taxes and to ensure
that our hard-working citi-
zens keep more of the
money they earn. To me, the
only way to do this is for the
State Legislature to live with-
in its means. The "spend first, ask
questions later" method of budgeting
proposed by Senator Robson is down-
right disrespectful and irresponsible.
It is my hope that the members of
the Conference Committee come
together in good faith to set responsi-
ble spending parameters that
acknowledge the economic realities
Wisconsin's residents face on a daily
basis. All of us - individuals, business-
es and families - have to prioritize
where our money goes, prudently allo-
cating money to carefully-chosen
places. There is absolutely no reason
for the State Legislature to be any dif-
ferent. Speaker Huebsch, by encour-
aging the setting of spending parame-
ters, understands of the importance of
this process of prioritizing and being
fiscally responsible.
Rest assured that I will do what I
can to ensure that responsible spend-
ing parameters for the state budget
are set and that Wisconsin citizens are
able to keep more of their hard-earned
money. Let's focus on reducing taxes
and spending to bring Wisconsin out
from the bottom of per capita income
growth and also out of the top ten
highest-taxed states in the nation. It's
time to go back to our grassroots and
run the state budget like a family's
budget - setting wise parameters and
working within those means.
As always, it has been a pleasure
communicating with you. Please
remember to communicate with me
and share your input by calling 888-
295-8750, writing to me at P.O. Box
7882, Madison, WI 53707-7882, or by
e-mailing me at
Sen.Leibham@legis.wisconsin.gov.

District on-line office at www.leibham-

It is an honor representing the resi-
dents of the 9th District in the State
Senate!
You might be aware of a recent issue in
the news which said that Sheboygan
County needs 4 more prosecutors and
that the District Attorney's office is staffed
at only 62.4% of the county's need. That
information was included in a recent
review of the allocation of prosecutor posi-
tions in Wisconsin by the Legislative Audit
Bureau (LAB). I thought I'd use
this column to look at that audit.
County level prosecutors
have been funded by the state
since 1990. As of July 1, 2006
there were 424.65 full-time
equivalent (FTE) county level
prosecutors in Wisconsin, with
fiscal year 2005-06 expendi-
tures of $44.4 million. Although
down from a high of 444.35 FTE
prosecutor positions in July of
2002, it is up from the 338.49
FTE prosecutor positions in 1990.
Every year, the State Prosecutor's
Office uses a formula to calculate how
many prosecutors are needed across the
state. The formula is based on the num-
ber of cases within each county and the
types of cases prosecuted. The LAB notes
that use of the formula has been limited
and that it has never been used to reallo-
cate positions around the state.
It is the use of this formula by the State
Prosecutor's Office which comes to the
conclusion that Wisconsin's counties are
currently understaffed by just over 117
FTE prosecutor positions and that
Sheboygan County should have 12.02
FTE prosecutors, rather than the current
7.5 FTE prosecutors.
This puts the Sheboygan County DA's
office at 62.4% of their estimated staffing
need. Staffing levels ranged from Burnett
County at 44.8%, Fond du Lac County at
57.7%, Brown County at 62.1%, Dane
County at 79.1% and Milwaukee County at
96.9%. Some counties actually rise above
100% of estimated staffing needs. Of
those, however, only Pierce County has
more than 2 current positions, with 2.75
current positions and an estimated need of
2.24. Most others are deemed overstaffed
with either a total of .8 or 1 FTE position.
In their audit, the LAB looks more
closely at this formula and other matters
which impact prosecutor workloads. The
formula used by the State Prosecutor's
office is a weighted formula which assigns
a case weight (in hours) for different types
of cases (i.e. the average number of hours
a prosecutor needs for a specific type of
case). The formula, for example, assigns
a case weight of 100 hours for a Class A
homicide. Sexual predator cases are,
also, weighted at 100 hours, while "other
felonies" are weighted at 8.49 hours and
misdemeanors are weighted at 2.17
hours.
A number of concerns, however, are
raised in the audit with regard to the for-
mula and its calculation of staffing needs.
Does the formula accurately calculate the
number of prosecutors needed by each
county?
One concern raised is that the data
used in the formula only includes those
cases for which prosecutors have filed
charges and made an initial court appear-
ance. It does not count those cases
reviewed by prosecutors and declined or
More prosecuters needed?
Over the past week, the State
Legislature's Budget Conference
Committee has begun the task of iron-
ing out the major differences between
the Senate Democratic budget plan and
the Assembly Republican budget plan.
This is certainly not an easy task. If you
recall, the two budgets are very differ-
ent and contain diverse philosophies in
regard to new state government spend-
ing and taxation for the next
two years.
State Representative Mike
Huebsch (R - West Salem),
the Speaker of the State
Assembly and chairman for
the Republican budget, pro-
posed that before the
Committee begins to review
and debate specific items in
the budget they should first
determine how much money
overall will be spent. Speaker
Huebsch's proposal seeks to first agree
on how much our taxpayers can afford
and then decide how to prioritize our
spending. Speaker Huebsch proposed
that the Committee agree to a budget
spending plan that totals $56 billion,
representing a 4.9% increase in spend-
ing from the current two-year budget.
In doing so, Speaker Huebsch wisely
suggested that the Committee follow
the same practices as families and
businesses; that is, realize what the
taxpayers can afford, recognize budget-
ing constraints and prioritize spending
accordingly.
On the other hand, State Senator
Judy Robson (D - Beloit), the Senate
Democratic Majority Leader and chair-
man for the Democratic budget, did not
agree to this approach. Senator
Robson's philosophy is to first figure out
what needs to be spent and then figure
out how to increase taxes and fees
enough to generate the funding neces-
sary to cover that spending plan.
Unfortunately, Senator Robson contin-
ues to stand behind the $66 billion
Senate Democrat budget package,
which represents an unbelievable
23.2% increase in spending from the
current two-year budget.
This situation begs an important
question - is it respectful and responsi-
ble to increase state spending by
23.2%, as proposed by the Senate
budget, when Wisconsin citizen's per
capita personal income increased by
just 4.3% last year? Earlier this year
the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance
research group reported that, in 2006,
Wisconsin fell into the bottom ten states
in the nation in regard to per capita per-
sonal income growth.
I find it very concerning and truly dis-
respectful that some legislators on the
Conference Committee refuse to recog-
nize the economic realities that
Wisconsin taxpayers face. Despite the
fact that Wisconsin is falling behind in
personal income growth, Senator
Robson and her team seem more than
Setting a Spending
Parameter
Updates From Our State Representatives
those without an initial court appearance
or those with prosecution deferred pend-
ing treatment.
Another issue raised in the audit which
causes concerns about the accuracy of
the weighted formula is the differences in
charges practices from county to county.
According to the audit, most prosecutors
combine charges for a single
criminal incident involving one
defendant into a single com-
plaint, while some split the
charges and file each as a sep-
arate case. Also, most prosecu-
tors file multiple counts of the
same charge into a single com-
plaint. Others will file separate-
ly for each complaint.
The LAB audit uses an exam-
ple of a defendant who writes
numerous bad checks. Some
prosecutors will charge someone who
writes 12 bad checks over a two week
period as one case, others as twelve
cases. This, clearly, will cause inconsis-
tencies from county to county.
Prosecutors also note that since
felonies are weighted more heavily in the
formula, results could become skewed if
prosecutors initially file felony charges, but
later reduce the charges to a misde-
meanor. Across the state, 28.3% of felony
cases filed in 2005 (that resulted in guilty
verdicts) were amended to misde-
meanors. The percentage ranged from
6.1% in Outagamie County to 66.9% in
Sawyer County. Additionally, this data may
be understated because it does not
include cases in which both felony and
misdemeanor charges are filed, but the
felony charges are later dropped.
Other concerns about the formula relat-
ed to the limited number of categories
used in the weight formula. For example,
the "all other felonies" category includes
nearly all felony cases except for homi-
cide, securities fraud and some repeat
offender crimes. Prosecutors noted that
the time needed to prosecute cases under
this category vary greatly and that the cat-
egory should be subdivided.
The audit, also, looked at other issues
which influence the workload of prosecu-
tors, such as legislation, cases involving
inmates, court structure/policies and law
enforcement practices within each county.
So, now that we have this audit, what
steps should the legislature take next?
Should we, during the current budget
debate, add 117 prosecutor positions to
DA offices statewide? Probably not. But it
is clear that we will need to hire more pros-
ecutors in the future and, in order to more
accurately gauge needs from county to
county, we need to ensure that the data
we use to evaluate need is more uniform
from county to county. This is an issue of
public safety and one which should not be
set aside.

School is back in Session
Now that school is back in session,
please remember to drive carefully on
the streets around the school. The
speed limit is 15 mph when children
are present in the school zones. There
is no stopping or standing of vehicles
for the westbound traffic on School
Street. Also, parents that drop children
off in the morning should do so close
to the crosswalk so the students can be
helped across the street. Students that
are crossing in mid-block amongst the
vehicles are harder to see and are not
as safe. Also remember that students
can now be dropped off on the north
side under the canopy to avoid the traf-
fic.

Kohler Waters Spa unveils its second

The Mobil Four-Star rated Kohler
Waters Spa in The Village of Kohler
opens its first sister spa in Chicago. The
Kohler Waters Spa will be located next

The Burr Ridge Village Center
location is a perfect fit for a Kohler
Waters Spa, says Jean Kolb, Director-
Wellness Business & Product

Chicago-area is a top-market for the
Destination Kohler resort and Burr
Ridge is located in one of the top three

States. It makes perfect business
sense.

Inc. (HGA) of Milwaukee and the
KOHLER Co. design team have creat-
ed a sleek urban spa design that will
encompass 10,200 square feet of the
Burr Ridge Village Center. The design
elements utilize Ann Sacks Tile and
innovative KOHLER bath and shower
products throughout the property
including the Ambient Rain

shower
experience and the Escale Bubble
Massage whirlpool bath. Contempo-
rary cool color palates of gray, blue and
green mimic the natural colors of water
to inflect a calming sensation.
The Kohler Waters Spa at Burr
Ridge design features The Circle of
Tranquility water experiential area.
Located in the heart of the spa, it offers
a 25-foot whirlpool, cascading water-
fall and three shower experiences
Quench, Envelop and Deluge. The outer
