Revisions to fence ordinance adopted by
village board
42 inches remains maximum height
With spring building projects just
around the corner, it’s time for an update
on a Village ordinance that was recently
changed. On December 19, 2005 and
February 20, 2006, the Kohler Village
Board voted to approve recommendations
from the Village Plan Commission to
repeal and recreate Sections 20.12.030, J .,
and 20,12.070, D., of the Municipal Code
of the Village of Kohler Regulating
Fences in residential and planned unit
development (PUD) districts. These
actions followed several months of
discussion by the plan commission and
two public hearings regarding how to
perhaps accommodate some of the
frequent requests fromhomeowners for
approval of fences that exceed the
ordinance’s 42-inch height maximumfor
fences without compromising the
“Garden Community” concept on which
the Village’s character and design is
based.
What did the previous ordinance say?
The previous ordinance, which had
been in effect since 1981, said that no
fence could exceed 42 inches in height
nor approach closer to a street than the
nearest line of a main building. Barbed
wire and electric fences were also
prohibited. There were no exceptions
specified in the ordinance, and although it
was possible to apply for a variance, they
were very rarely, if ever, granted.
What changes have been made to the
ordinance?
The ordinance retains the 42-inch
maximumheight and street approach, as
well as the prohibition against barbed
wire and electric fences, but now
specifies three instances where fences
that exceed 42 inches in height may be
approved by the plan commission: a) for
swimming pool safety and security, b) on
boundaries between a residential district
and a different zoning district, or c) for
agricultural purposes within a Residential
District.
The new ordinance language also
considers a new fence a structure that is
subject to the building permit application,
review, and approval process for
structures under Section 20.24. As such, a
survey “shall be submitted with all
building permit applications for the
construction of new fences. Fence
support posts or structures shall be
located on the owner’s side of the fence
so that the solid or ‘good side’ of the
fence is facing adjacent properties.”
Finally, the new ordinance includes a
clause related to fence maintenance:
“Maintenance of all fences shall be the
continuing obligation of the owner of the
property. Fences shall be painted or
stained neutral colors. Any broken, rotten,
or deteriorating boards or other fence
material shall be repaired or replaced.”
What about existing fences taller than
42 inches?
According to Village officials, fences
exceeding 42 inches in height that were
built prior to 1981 are grandfathered in
and allowed to remain. It has not yet been
made clear whether such fences, when
they deteriorate and need replacing, can
be replaced by an equally tall fence.
Section 20.08.100 of the Village Zoning
Code does, however, provide:
"Since it is the intent of this title to
preserve the past pattern of
development in the village, all lawful
nonconforming uses and structures
existing at the time of adoption or
amendment of the ordinance codified
in this title may be continued,
maintained and/or rebuilt, although
the use or structure does not conform
to the provisions of this title, …"
How does this change affect private
covenants between some homeowners
and Kohler Company?
An owner of a newer residence in the
Village, who may have signed private
covenants with Kohler Company, is
already restricted by these covenants
regarding fence construction. In such
cases, whichever is the more restrictive
of the two - the covenants or the Village
ordinance - will apply.

the lives of two young women. While
working as a deputy sheriff, J arrod was dis-
patched to an auto accident where a vehicle
struck several pedestrians in a tavern park-
ing lot. J arrod was the first unit to arrive on
the scene. Due to J arrod's training and
experience as a First Responder with the
KPD, he quickly triaged the victims and
realized the immediate need for specialized
trauma care. J arrod summoned a Flight for
Life helicopter and a ThedaStar helicopter
for two of the victims. J arrod’s quick and
accurate decision making contributed great-
ly to the victim’s survival.

Mark Twain Tonight has becomeoneof the
longest-running shows in theater history. To
see Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain is an
experience not be forgotten, and it is an
experienceyou will not want to miss.
Hal Holbrook adds to his Twain material
every year, editing and changing it to fit the
times. Twain trafficked in the absurdity of
human behavior, thedisorder that arises when
a selfish species seeks to advance itself
through well-meaning institutions like demo-
cratic government or religion. As aRapid City
J ournal columnist wrote, “Mark Twain
Tonight! was astudy in detail and someof the
best storytelling I’veever heard. It is amazing
what effect a well-timed pause can create.
Holbrook is amaster at engaging an audience.
Laughter was loud and plentiful but thehigh-
light of the evening was when Holbrook, as
Twain, gave us Huckleberry Finn. Taking on
theroles of Huck and J imin alternatedialogue,
Holbrook captured and translated arichness of
thesecharacters that gavemechills.”
Hal Holbrook performed his first solo as
Mark Twain at theLock Haven StateTeachers
Collegein Pennsylvaniain 1954. Thefollow-
ing year Holbrook performed his Mark Twain
character at anight club in Greenwich Village.
In 1959 Mr. Holbrook opened at atiny theatre
off-Broadway in New York. The State
Department sent him on a tour of Europe,
wherehebecamethefirst American dramatic
attraction to go behind theIron Curtain follow-
ing World War II. In 1966 he won a Tony
Award and a Drama Critics’ Circle Award.
Holbrook’s CBS television special, Mark
Twain Tonight!, was nominated for an Emmy
Award. Sincethen, Holbrook has appeared in
some 50 television movies and mini-series,
been nominated for 12 Emmys and won five.
Watch as Hal Holbrook becomes Mark Twain!

THE KOHL ER VI L L AGER kohlervillager.com
Now that we’re in the midst of tax season,
you may be anticipating a tax refund, if
you haven’t already received one. Of
course, not everyone receives a refund,
but, among those who do, the amount can
be sizable. In fact, in 2005, the average
tax refund was about $2,125. If you’re
going to get a refund, start planning now
on how to use it. By making the right
moves, you can help speed up your
progress toward your financial goals.
So, what should you do with your refund?
Here are a few ideas:
Put the money i n your IRA. To
achieve a comfortable retirement
lifestyle, you will need to draw on a vari-
ety of financial resources, one of which
may be an IRA. In 2006, you can con-
tribute up to $4,000 - or $5,000 if you
are 50 or older - to a traditional or Roth
IRA. So, if you received a $2,125
refund - last year’s average - you’d be
well on your way toward “maxing out”
on your IRA contribution. If you think
that this amount can’t really make that
much of a difference to your long-term
savings, consider this hypothetical situ-
ation: If you put that $2,125 in an IRA
that earned 7 percent a year, and you
never invested another dime in your
account, your money will still grow to
more than $16,000 in 30 years. Not a
fortune, to be sure, but nothing to scoff
at. And in all likelihood, you would not
just make a one-time contribution to an
IRA. (At the end of 30 years, you’d have
to pay taxes on your earnings, but by
then, you may be in a lower tax brack-
et; even if you’re not, you might be able
to spread the tax burden over several
years. And if you had invested in a Roth
IRA, your earnings will grow tax-free,
Financial Focus
Put Your Tax Refund to Work
provided you’ve had your account for at
least five years and you don’t begin
withdrawals until you are age 59-1/2.)
Keep in mind that these rates are hypo-
thetical only and do not reflect the rates
of any investment currently available.
Contribute to a Section 529 plan.
Many people contribute to Section 529
plans to save money for their children’s
(and grandchildren’s) college educa-
tion. You can put in large amounts each
year to a Section 529 plan, and your
earnings will grow tax-free, provided
withdrawals are used for qualified high-
er education expenses.
Pay down high-rate debt. Short-term
interest rates have been rising over the
past few months. This could mean that
you’ll be paying a higher rate on your
credit cards - which probably carried a
fairly high rate to begin with. If you use
some of your tax refund to whittle down
this debt, you’ll be making a wise
move, as this debt is typically not tax
deductible, and, therefore, of no bene-
fit to you.
Build up your “ rainy day” fund. You
might want to use your tax refund to
build your emergency fund. Generally
speaking, you should set aside six to
12 months’ worth of living expenses to
pay for expenses such as car repairs,
new appliances and unexpected med-
ical bills.
You can’t always count on a tax refund -
but when you get one, make the most out
of it. You’ll be glad you did.

As February rolls into March and the
boys’ and girls’ basketball seasons come to
a close, the Village of Kohler prepares it-
self for the upcoming spring athletic sea-
son.
And after the success of last year’s
spring athletic season, the students and res-
idents of Kohler have much to be hopeful
for. During the 2005 spring season, partic-
ipants from all three sports offered at
Kohler—track, golf, and boys’ tennis—ad-
vanced to their respective state tourna-
ments and placed surprisingly well.
Track
The track team is coming off one of the
most successful seasons in recent years,
having sent runners from both the girls’ and
the boys’ teams to the state tournament last
year.
Duane DuMez, now in his 26th year as
head coach of the boys’ and girls’ track
teams, stated that last year’s track team
marked one of the most successful seasons
in recent years. “We sent more runners
from both the girls’ and the boys’ track
teams to state last year than we have in re-
cent years,” DuMez remarked.
Last year, the boys’ 800-meter relay,
which consisted of Britten Wolf, Brendan
Huebner, Jim Buchanan, and Dominic
Fiorini, advanced to the state tournament
where they placed 8th overall. Brendan
Huebner also advanced to state individual-
ly for both the long jump and the triple
jump. Allison Holzwart and Erin Mueller
of the girls’ team each advanced to the state
tournament in the 1600-meter run.
“Over the past 25 years, there have only
been two or three seasons in which Kohler
hasn’t sent runners to compete in the state
tournament,” DuMez stated. However, the
boys’ track team hasn’t won a state cham-
pionship since 1979, and the girls’ track
team hasn’t won a championship since
1977. However, with the overwhelming
amount of talent on this year’s team, it
would be no surprise to anybody if Kohler
finally brought home a state championship
this year.
Tennis
Like the track team, the boys’ tennis
team is coming off one of the most success-
ful seasons in recent history; last season
saw the advancement of John Reinertsen,
Daniel Knabel, and Michael Garland to the
state tournament. Unlike the track team,
however, the tennis team will compete in a
much different conference and must be pre-
pared to face competition from much larg-
er schools.
Because the Central Lakeshore Confer-
ence (CLC) does not include tennis, the
Kohler tennis team must compete in the
Eastern Wisconsin Conference (EWC),
which includes some very large and com-
petitive schools. Included in the confer-
ence are Sheboygan Falls, Plymouth, Ke-
waunee, Kewaskum, Manitowoc Roncalli,
Two Rivers, and Chilton.
Despite the tough competition, Kohler
has been able to post some impressive vic-
tories in recent years and has frequently
come out in the upper half of the confer-
ence. In fact, the team took second place
last year in the EWC, falling just behind
Roncalli. “I think Kohler will probably be
one of the more dominant teams in the
EWC this season,” head coach Wendy
Tauschek stated.
The team rests its hope of success on its
three returning state contenders. John
Reinertsen tied for 7th place last year in
the state singles tournament, while part-
ners Michael Garland and Daniel Knabel
took 6th place together in the state doubles
tournament. The last tennis player from
Kohler to reach the state tournament was
Peter Knabel, who advanced to the tourna-
ment in 2001 but was eliminated during
the first round. To the best of Tauschek’s
knowledge, the Kohler tennis team has
never won a state championship, but this
year certainly offers a very good opportu-
nity for the tennis team to come away with
a championship.
Golf
The golf team may prove to be the
strongest and most promising team from
Kohler this spring. Like the track and ten-
nis teams, the golf team is coming off one
of its most successful seasons ever and
hopes to carry last year’s success to this
year.
Before last season, Kohler’s golf team
hadn’t won a conference title since 1977
and hadn’t gone to the state tournament
since 1989; in 2005, the golf team did
both. Head coach Dirk Willis, now in his
third year as the coach of the golf team,
contributed his team’s success to the “work
ethic that the Kohler golfers have exhibit-
ed over the past two years.” Following last
year’s trip to the state tournament, many of
the players began to work even harder to
improve their game; “If anything, their
success last year made them hungrier,”
Willis stated.
Adding to the team’s strength is the op-
portunity for the players to practice on
some of the nation’s top golf courses.
“The opportunity for Kohler’s golfers to
practice at Whistling Straits and Blackwolf
Run on a daily basis is very advanta-
geous,” Willis stated. “Being able to play
on some of the best golf courses in the
country helps give the players some extra
confidence when it comes time to play in
the state tournament,” he added.
Of course, Kohler doesn’t expect a free
ride to the state tournament this season;
Willis stated that the CLC will provide
some very tough competition this year.
“Elkhart Lake has their entire team return-
ing and has some very young talent,” he re-
marked. “Howards Grove also promises to
offer some tough competition this year.”
Despite the promising competition,
Willis maintained his confidence in his
team by stating his undeterred belief in his
players’ abilities; “all five of last year’s
state contenders have a very real chance at
making another run at the state champi-
onship this year,” he stated.

THE KOHL ER VI L L AGER kohlervillager.com
On February 2nd the State As-
sembly unanimously passed As-
sembly Bill 617, other-
wise known as the Can-
cer Protection Act, intro-
duced by Rep. Gunder-
son (R - Waterford).
This bill allows cancer
patients the opportunity
to participate in clinical
trials while ensuring rou-
tine care like chemother-
apy and radiation treat-
ments are covered by
their insurance. Currently 22
other states have similar legisla-
tion in place.
Clinical trials allow doctors to
test whether the latest treatment
options offer promising approach-
es to cancer prevention, diagnosis
and treatment in a safe and effec-
tive manner. There are typically
four different types of clinical tri-
als: treatment trials, prevention
trials, screening trials and quality
of life trials.
Treatment trials focus on find-
ing new treatments, whether it is a
new cancer drug, new approach or
method to therapy or new combi-
nation of treatments. Prevention
trials test new approaches to can-
cer such as testing vitamins, min-
erals, medicines or other supple-
ments to see if they will lower the
risk of cancer. These trials use
participants who are not diag-
nosed with cancer, as well as
those who have successfully
fought off cancer. Screening tri-
als test the best way to find cancer
in its early stages, while quality of
life trials explore ways to make
life more comfortable for cancer
patients.
Before participating in a cancer
clinical trial it is important to dis-
cuss your decision with your doc-
tor, family and friends. There are
potential risks when participating
in a clinical trial. Doctors do not
always know the side effects or
effectiveness associated with new
procedures or drugs. However,
participating in a cancer clinical
trial can be quite rewarding. Pa-
tients get to work with the top
physicians in cancer research and
get access to new drugs before
they are widely available. Pa-
tients also get the benefit of hav-
ing their health closely monitored
by top doctors.
In order to have a clinical trial
service qualify under this bill, the
Cancer protection act
The winter legislative session is in full swing and
dozens of bills are making
their way through both
houses of the State Legis-
lature. As your State
Senator, I believe it is im-
portant for me to provide
you with timely updates
on the legislative initia-
tives that are under con-
sideration by the State
Senate. Below, please
find a brief description of
the bill, an indication of my vote on each propos-
al and an update on its status in the overall leg-
islative process.
Senate Bill (SB) 414 – Fee Remission for chil-
dren and surviving spouses of ambulance
drivers, correctional officers, EMTs, fire fight-
ers and law enforcement officers – Extends full
remission of fees at the University of Wisconsin
Systemor at a technical college to the child or
surviving spouse of an ambulance driver, correc-
tional officer, emergency medical services tech-
nician, fire fighter, or law enforcement officer
who qualified for duty disability benefits and
later died fromthe disability. I co-authored and
voted for this bill and it is currently awaiting con-
sideration in the State Assembly.
SB 453 – Individual income tax check-off for
donations to the fire fighters memorial – Al-
lows a taxpayer to designate any amount of addi-
tional payment, or any amount of a refund due, to
the fire fighters memorial on his or her income
tax return. I voted for this bill and it is currently
awaiting consideration in the State Assembly.
Assembly Bill (AB) 802 – Federal Nursing
Home Dollars – Provides that if the state re-
ceives more federal Medical Assistance moneys
as matching funds to county and municipal nurs-
ing home operating deficits than anticipated in
the current budget, the state must disburse the ad-
ditional moneys to county and municipal nursing
homes. At this time, it is estimated that county
and municipal nursing home operations could
generate an additional $2.1 million in federal
funding. I authored this bill with Representative
Dan LeMahieu and it has been signed into law.
AB 728 – Witness Intimidation – Enhances
penalties for someone charged with a felony who
unlawfully intimidates a witness or a potential
witness in connection with a trial, proceeding, or
inquiry for that felony. I voted for this bill and it
is currently awaiting Governor J imDoyle’s con-
sideration.
SB 436 – College re-enrollment and registra-
tion priority of persons called into active mili-
tary service – Requires colleges and universities
to re-enroll a student who had been called to ac-
tive military duty and to give the student the
same priority in registering for courses that the
student would have received had he or she not
been called to active duty. I co-authored and
voted for this bill and it is currently awaiting con-
sideration in the State Assembly.
SB 441 – Organ donation – Streamlines and en-
hances the organ donation process in Wisconsin
so more individuals may benefit and fromthe
gift of life-saving organ donation. I co-authored
and voted for this bill and it is currently awaiting
Governor Doyle’s consideration.
AB 26 – Wildlife Violator Compact - Wiscon-
sin will join the 18-state violator compact which
says that if you have a hunting or fishing viola-
tion in any of the compact’s states, you cannot
hunt or fish in any of the states. I authored this
bill and it is currently awaiting Governor Doyle’s
consideration.

St at e Senat or
clinical trial must satisfy certain
criteria. The purpose and treat-
ment of the trial must
test whether the inter-
vention potentially im-
proves the trial partici-
pant's health outcome.
In addition, the trial
must have a therapeutic
intent and not be de-
signed to test toxicity.
In addition to the
above requirements the
clinical trial must also
meet one of the following require-
ments: test how to administer a
health care service; test responses
to a health care treatment; com-
pare the effectiveness of therapy
for the treatment of cancer with
other remedies; or study new uses
of medication.
Furthermore, the clinical trial
must be approved by one of the
following: the National Institute
of Health (or one of its coopera-
tive groups), the Federal Food and
Drug Administration, the U.S.
Department of Defense or the
U.S. Department of Veterans Af-
fairs.
The Senate version of the Can-
cer Protection Act, Senate Bill
288, passed the Senate on a voice
vote last November. I anticipate
within the next two months either
the Assembly version or Senate
version of this bill will be passed
by both Houses and sent to the
Governor for his approval. If
signed into law, this bill will
allow the 26,340 Wisconsin resi-
dents diagnosed with cancer
every year to receive access to
cancer clinical trials. These clini-
cal trials will offer hope for the
many patients who have not re-
sponded well to conventional
treatments, or simply want to try
the latest medication.
Unfortunately, I know all too
well the struggles cancer patients
go through. Right now there are
hundreds of cancer patients
around the state enrolled in clini-
cal trials. For many, this is their
best hope for recovery. I am
proud that Wisconsin is taking
steps to ensure cancer patients
will now be able to participate in
clinical trials knowing their rou-
tine care will be covered.
SB 501 – Frivolous lawsuit reform – Requires a
court to award a successful defendant the actual
costs of the action, including reasonable attorney
fees, if the court finds that the plaintiff’s action is
frivolous. I voted for this bill and it is currently
awaiting consideration in the State Assembly.
AB 383 – Government integrity with taxpayer
dollars – Provides that a state agency must con-
duct a criminal background investigation of any
individual seeking a position that requires that the
applicant have access to taxpayer funds. I voted
for this bill and it is currently awaiting Governor
Doyle’s consideration.
SB 525 – Funeral protest bill – Prohibit protests
within 500 feet of a funeral. I voted for this bill
and it is currently awaiting Governor Doyle’s con-
sideration.
AB 618 – Child safety seat bill – Require that
children fromfour to eight years old, weighing at
least 40 but not more than 80 pounds, and no more
than 57 inches tall must be properly restrained in a
child booster seat. I voted against this bill because
of the impracticality of implementing and enforc-
ing the provisions. Governor Doyle has signed the
bill into law.
AB 117 – Color of hunting clothing – Removes
the requirement that hunters must wear blaze or-
ange while hunting at night for other game during
the gun deer hunting season. I authored this bill
and it is currently awaiting Governor Doyle’s con-
sideration.
AB 657 – Eminent Domain – Addresses a flawed
decision of the U.S. Supreme Court by prohibiting
the condemnation of property that is not blighted
if the condemnor intends to sell or lease the prop-
erty to a private entity. I co-authored and voted for
this bill and it is currently awaiting consideration
in the State Assembly.
SB 477 – Licensing of midwives – Directs the
Department of Regulation and Licensing to devel-
op a systemto license nurse midwives in an effort
to ensure safe homebirths, which are becoming a
more and more frequent desire of expectant par-
ents. I voted for this bill and it is currently await-
ing Governor Doyle’s consideration.
SB 481 – Increasing the maximum Wisconsin
Higher Education Grant (WHEG) – Increases
the maximum WHEG grant amount to $3,000
(fromthe previous $2,500) for any academic year.
I voted for this bill and it is currently awaiting
Governor Doyle’s consideration.
SB 370 – Expansion of Academic Excellence
Higher Education Scholarship Program – Ex-
tends eligibility for a higher education scholarship
to a scholar enrolled in a two-year, full-time voca-
tional diploma program. I voted for this bill and it
is currently awaiting Governor Doyle’s considera-
tion.
If you would like additional information on any on
these proposals, please contact my office. Over
the next couple of weeks, I will provide you with
information on additional legislative proposals
that I have authored and supported in the Senate.
Again, I want you to be informed about my leg-
islative efforts. I would also like your input! If

Snow Emergency: To find out if a snow
emergency is in effect for the Village,
call 459-3881 anytime, or watch Kohler
Cable Channel 20. There is no parking
on Village streets during a snow emer-
gency. A snow emergency is called
when accumulation is expected to ex-
ceed six inches. Snow emergencies are
typically called from 8:00 AM until 12:00
PM to give the snowplows an opportu-
nity to clear the streets with no cars in
the way.
Sand/salt: Village residents are wel-
come to obtain a sand-salt mix from
boxes located next to the Lost Woods
Park shelter.
Snow Removal:
Here are some reminders on Village
snow removal ordinances and policies:
1. Please remember to shovel your
sidewalks within 24 hours after a
snowfall event.
2. Do not blow or shovel snow back into
the street.
3. Please remove vehicles from the
street when the plows are in opera-
tion.
Snow Removal Around Kiosks: It is the
residents' responsibility to have the
snow removed around the
kiosks/NDCBU (neighborhood delivery
and collection box unit)/cluster boxes.
The Postal Service will not deliver mail
if the carrier is not able to reach the unit
- the front as well as the backside.
Someone in the unit/neighborhood
needs to take the initiative to remove
the snow; or maybe the responsibility
can be shared within the unit. The Vil-
lage is not responsible to keep these
areas clear of snow.
Clear Water Inspections: The Village of
Kohler is under directive from the DNR
to enforce state and village codes pro-
hibiting foundation drains and clearwa-
ter (such as sump pumps) from dis-
charging to the sanitary sewer. The Vil-
lage Building Inspector must perform an
inspection of the sump pump, floor
drains, etc. A typical inspection will take
approximately 15 minutes. Inspection
fees are paid directly to the building in-
spector, Pete Scheuerman.
If you are a new resident or will be mov-
ing out of the Village in the near future,
please be advised that before any prop-
erty is sold or transferred, a clearwater
inspection must be made per Village
Ordinance. Please contact the Building
Inspector, Pete Scheuerman, at 1-800-
590-2366 to arrange for an appoint-
ment. Please direct any questions
about the inspection or clear water re-
quirements to Pete Scheuerman.
FROM POLICE CHIEF BILL RUTTEN
www.kohlerpolice.com
New 8-Year-Old Booster Seat Law:
Governor Doyle recently signed the
new 8-year-old Booster Seat Law that
will go into effect J une 1, 2006. The law
requires children under 8 years old to
be in a booster seat, unless they are
over 80 pounds or taller than 4 ft. 9 in.
The law allows for one warning within
the first 6 months of when it goes into
effect. Police departments are required
to send their warnings to the State of
Wisconsin indicating who has already
received a warning. This law should
make the children in Wisconsin safer
while in vehicles. Many of the local
stores are currently out of these types
of seats, but many models can be pur-
chased on-line from those same retail-
ers for under $25, including delivery.
Vacation Checks: Don't forget that if
you are planning to go away on spring
break or at any time during the year,
that you may have the Kohler Police
Department check your house while
you are gone. Residents can now re-
quest a vacation check on-line through
the Kohler Police Department's web
page, www.kohlerpolice.com, by stop-
ping by the department or calling. If you
call outside of regular business hours
you may leave a message too. In your
message just include your name, ad-
dress, duration of your vacation and
VILLAGE NEWS www.kohlervillage.org
any other pertinent information that we
may need to know. Some pertinent in-
formation may include lights that are on
timers, alarms, and names of persons
that may stop by or key holders. Any
other questions about this service,
please call the police department.

ries of their marriage and Will’s political

Nancy Pearl’s 2
nd
Appeal – Character
Your comment that “the people (in the
book) were so real I knew them like my
own family” would indicate that you were
drawn into the book by the appeal of
“Character” according to Nancy Pearl.
Nancy mentioned that non-fiction books
are at times driven by the aspect of char-
acter and can be enjoyed every bit as much
as fiction. You may enjoy authors such as
Judy Piccoult, McCall Smith, Ann Rice,
Jan Karon, Barbara Kingsolver, Harper
Lee, Frank McCourt, J.K. Rowling, Anne
Tyler, Janet Evanovich and Sue Grafton if
you enjoy strong characters. Biographies
and memoirs are also types of books with a
strong character aspect. A book with a per-
son’s name in the title such as, A Prayer
for Owen Meany, is a good indication it is
character driven.
