Thirty-seven years of KPALBingo comes to an end

The August 30, 2011 Bingo nitehosted by the Kohler Police Ath-letic League (KPAL) ended a 37-year tradition in Kohler, asdeclining attendance led KPAL tomake the tough decision to discon-tinue the event.

Held on the fourth Sunday ofthe month from March throughNovember, “Bingo Nite” began in1974 when Wes Prange felt theKPAL needed to raise additionalfunds for youth activities in theVillage of Kohler. Originally,Bingo was held in the “Tap Room”of the American Club, and thenmoved to the Kohler Firehouse,where the event has been held forthe past 30 or more years.

In the beginning, Bingo cost $3per game. Most recently, it wasstill a great value at $10 for regularbingo and $5 for the early birdgame.

Over the years, KPAL membersenjoyed the camaraderie at “BingoNite” and got to know many of theattendees who came from through-out Sheboygan County. The firstBingo coordinator or “Czar” wasHenry Fricke; then came MarvinVerhelst, who took over for manyyears; followed by Gary Wight-man, Jeff Simon, and finally CamLitt. The funds raised from Bingohave helped pay for the two annual$1,000 scholarships given to amale and female Kohler HighSchool graduate each year. In ad-

dition, proceeds helped pay forBoy Scouts and Girl Scouts activ-ities, and recreation activities likebaseball, soccer, and basketball, toname a few.

“As we all know, good thingsmust come to an end,” said CamLitt. “Due to continued decline inattendance the last few years, itwas decided to no longer doBingo. It was a tough decision forthe organization, but one that hadto be made since we can now useour efforts in other areas that willhelp generate additional funds foryouth activities. The KPAL organ-ization would like to thank allKohler residents and the greaterSheboygan area community thatsupported bingo in the past.”

Some of the long-time playersexpressed their sadness that the 37-year tradition was ending, statingthat it was one of the few activitiesthat gave the elderly a chance toget out of the house. “Everythingis being taken away from the eld-erly,” said Sheboygan Falls resi-dent Bertha Cook, 98, who hasattended the KPAL Bingo night for25 years. “There isn’t much for theelderly to do but sit at home.”

While some churches in theCity of Sheboygan and around thecounty have also discontinuedtheir Bingo, avid players still havesome options. The following is alist of churches and organizationsthat still hold Bingo events:

Blessed Trinity Parish, 327 Gid-•dings Avenue, Sheboygan Falls,Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m.Zion Church, 1125 N 6th St,•Sheboygan, Thursdays from1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.Senior Activity Center, 428 Wis-•consin Ave., Sheboygan, Thurs-days at 6:00 p.m.

St Cyril & Methodius Parish,•822 New Jersey Ave, Sheboy-gan, Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.(sponsored by Sheboygan Ath-letic Club). Meadow View Manor, 3613•South 13th Street, Sheboygan,Sundays from 6:30 p.m. - 7:30p.m. (this event is free with

dimes, nickels, quarters asprizes).Generations, 1500 Douglas•Drive, Plymouth, Tuesdays at6:30 p.m.

After sharing that she hadn’t won more than one or two KPAL Bingo games in the 25 years she has been attending, BerthaCook, 98, of Sheboygan Falls wins one at the final KPAL Bingo game that ended a 37-year tradition.

Many studentslearn Reiki for self-healing tech-niques, while others such ashealthcare professionals, such asthose in chiropractic, counseling,medicine, nursing, dental care,etc., use it to calm and acceleratehealing in their patients.”

Oestreicher added that Reiki isbecoming part of mainstreamhealthcare in some foreign coun-tries, such as England, where thepractice is part of the country’sNational Healthcare Service. InEngland, anyone can go to one ofthe country’s 300 hospitals as aday patient and have a Reiki ses-sion.

Some U.S. hospitals are alsoadding Reiki to their regular careoptions, including Tucson MedicalCenter, Portsmouth Regional Hos-pital in New Hampshire, Univer-sity of Michigan Hospital in AnnArbor, MI, and the California Pa-cific Medical Center in northernCalifornia.

Three from Kohlercompete in gruelingWisconsin Ironman

Two Kohler residents wereamong the nearly 2,500 athletes torun, bike, and swim as part of theIronman Wisconsin triathlon,which took place in Madison onSeptember 11. Participants from asfar away as Sweden, Germany, Ar-gentina, France, South Africa, andCanada converged on the state’scapital to take part in the grueling140.6 mile event, which includes a2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and26.2 mile run. Participants havefrom 7 a.m. until midnight to fin-ish the race.

The Ironman Wisconsin isknown for its huge crowd support.The more than 45,000 spectatorsline the streets to watch the event.The swim takes place in LakeMonona, near the Monona Ter-race, the bike route has a reputa-tion of being hilly and challenging,and the run takes two loopsthrough the UW-Madison campus,Camp Randal Stadium, and StateStreet, finishing in front of thestate capitol.

It was the first full Ironmantriathlon for Sara Hess, 36, ofKohler, who placed 33rd in theevent for the female 35 - 39 agegroup, 159 in her gender (all ages),and 901 overall. Over the summershe did two half Ironman eventsand a few other Olympic distancetriathlons to help prepare for theIronman Wisconsin race. To trainfor the event, Hess began a nine-month, six-day-a-week trainingprogram in January. An easy weekrequired eight to ten hours of train-ing, and a hard week reached 15 to17 hours. “My husband and Iwould study the training scheduleeach week and arrange my work-outs so that they could be organ-ized around my job and family life.I typically tried to get at least partof my training done before goinginto work in the morning.” (Saraand her husband, Dr. George Hess,III, have a dental practice in She-

boygan. Theyhave a five-year-old daugh-ter, Amber, whois in seniorkindergarten atKohler Elemen-tary). Hess saidtraining wasmore difficult during the cold,winter months when she wouldtypically swim laps in the pool atthe Sports Core, and tried to runoutside as often as possible. Herindoor bike trainer was used pre-dominantly when the weather did-n't allow outdoor biking. Herspring and summer training con-sisted of running in Kohler andSheboygan Falls, biking in theKettles, and open water swim-ming. “It was common for my hus-band and 5-year old daughter tokayak next to me in Elkhart Lakeduring my 2-2.5 mile swims,” saidHess.

When asked if she plans toenter another Ironman in the fu-ture, Hess said she will certainlydo many more triathlons, but does-n’t have plans to do another fullIronman in the near future. “It wasa fantastic experience. Every mo-ment of the day is so vivid in mymemory. The volunteers werewonderful and crowd support inMadison was unbelievable. Icouldn't have trained for such along event without the help andsupport of my husband, family,and friends!” Hess said. Her timeswere: Swim: 1:18:26; Transition:9:44; Bike: 6:45:24; Transition:6:36; Run: 4:30:24 for a total of 12hrs., 50 min., 33 sec.

It was also the first full Ironmanfor Brett Edgerle, 51, who placed40th in the male 50-54 age group,620 in his gender (all ages), and773 overall. He has done four halfIronman distance races in the past.What did his training ritual in-volve? “Mile, miles and more

miles, good nu-trition, and avery supportivef a m i l y, ” s a i dEdgerle, who isSupervisor ofCivil Engineer-ing at Kohler Co.and serves as aVillage Board Trustee. His wife,Deb, is co-owner of Salon 511 inSheboygan Falls. They have adaughter, Asha, attending fourthgrade at Kohler Elementary. As forwhether Edgerle plans to attemptanother one in the future: “Ithought this would be a ‘one anddone’ deal, but within a week, Istarted surfing the Internet forraces in 2012. I will do anotherIronman only if I can put the train-ing in to perform at a respectablelevel,” Edgerle said. “ I think any-one is capable of doing an Ironmandistance race, if they really want it.At some point it is as much mentalas physical.” His times were:Swim: 1:14:36; Transition: 11:26;Bike: 6:14:56; Transition: 7:19;Run: 4:47:51 for a total of 12 hrs.,36 min., 7 sec. Kohler residentand attorney Dennis Melowski, 42,qualified for the world Ironmanchampionship to be held in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii on October 8.Melowski is a veteran participantin the Ironman. The Kohler Vil-lager was unable to reach him foran interview, but according to thethe Ironman website, he has partic-ipated in the Ironman in differentcities and countries every yearsince 2002. He qualified for theworld championship six of thoseyears, including this year, wherehe came in 16th overall at the Iron-man 70.3 in Buffalo Springs Lake,Texas.

KOHLER PUBLIC SCHOOLS NEWSLETTER

Children with disabilities procedureThe school district must locate, identify, and eval-uate all children with disabilities, including chil-dren with disabilities attending private schools inthe school district, regardless of the severity oftheir disabilities. The school district has a specialeducation screening program to evaluate all chil-dren with suspected disabilities and are at leastthree years old. Upon request, the school districtwill screen a child who has not graduated highschool to determine whether a special educationreferral is appropriate. A request may be madeby contacting Jackie Schira, Special EducationDirector at 459-2920 x1200.

As the new school year settlesin, attention turns to what is new inthe learning experience in ourschools. Kohler High School hasadded a number of new optionsand activities to the educational ex-perience.

On the academic side, KohlerHigh School added new onlinecourse providers and significantlyexpanded Advanced Placement(AP) offerings. In the fall of 2010,Kohler High School offered 3 APcourses, all face-to-face instruc-

tion. In the fall of 2011, the schoolis offering 6 AP classes, four ofwhich are face-to-face courses and2 are online. This significant in-crease in students taking more rig-orous courses supports the effort toensure that all students are collegeready.

Also on the academic side, thehigh school added a new type ofstudy hall called Resource StudyHall. This study hall provides asmall group setting where theteacher provides additional moni-

toring and follow up for studentswho are not staying on the collegereadiness path. Students are as-signed to the study hall if they hadcourse grades in the previous se-mester not on the college readinesspath or show signs of falling be-hind in current courses. These arehighly supportive experienceswhere each student is providedwith the follow up needed to besuccessful in high school.

Kohler High School AddsNew Opportunities

Kohler Staff Prepare to Welcome Students for the 2011-2012 School Year

On the student developmentside, Kohler High School launchedan advisory model through whichstudents in grades 9-12 meet twicemonthly with their high school ad-visor. The purpose of advisory isto build community across allgrade levels and teachers, to mon-itor and support student progress,and to hold important character de-velopment conversations throughplanned activities. The characterdevelopment conversations in-clude discussion about making andkeeping friends, making ethicaldecisions, and setting and meetinggoals.

Also on the student develop-ment side, the Board recently ap-proved a new, entry-level

administrative position. The Di-rector of Student Life will serve asthe leader of the "lived" experiencein Kohler Schools with the schoolprincipals focusing more energyon the academic or learning expe-rience. The Director of StudentLife will serve as the athletic direc-tor, provide leadership for allextra-curricular activities, supportonline learners, support advisory,and manage high school studentleadership development activities.This position is budget neutralgiven the recent departure of a dis-trict administrator. This new posi-tion became a possibility throughthoughtful redistribution of re-sponsibilities within the organiza-tion.

Finally and most importantly,the high school welcomed 10 stu-dents new to Kohler Schools.These students are in each grade inthe high school with new districtfamilies, new open enrolled stu-dents, and international studentscoming to Kohler High School forthe first time. The students werepaired with a Student Council Am-bassador to welcome them to highschool and the district. Ambassa-dors provide tours for the students,make sure the new students areconnecting socially and academi-cally, and help make Kohler HighSchool the best place to receive ahigh school education.

Testing Program Participants

The students listed will participate in this year’s water testing programat Kohler High School.

This science enrichment program allows students to participate in acommunity service project and also encourages them to use some oftheir biology and chemistry skills.

The students will be actively involved in collecting, analyzing, and in-terpreting biology and chemistry data related to the water quality ofthe Sheboygan River. The Kohler group is responsible for testing theriver near Black Wolf Run Golf Course. Some of the tests include dis-solved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, pH, temperature, totalphosphates, nitrates, turbidity, total solids, fecal coliform, andmacroinvertebrates. The water test results are sent to the MaywoodEnvironmental Center, and also to the local Department of Natural Re-sources. Other Sheboygan County schools test different parts of theriver. All of the results are shared at a forum in the spring at May-wood. Along with presenting the data, students suggest explanationsfor their findings, and work together to explore possible action plansthat might have a positive impact on the area’s land conservation andthe environment. Students attend sessions where water quality expertsprovide needed information. Students involved in the program are cur-rently taking physics, advanced honors biology, or chemistry. Ms.Krejcarek is the science teacher leading this group.
