The Boy Scouts of Troop 831 inKohler recently completed a com-munity service project at PointBeach State Forest, just north ofTwo Rivers, Wisconsin. The Troopwas there to enjoy a weekendcamping trip when a park rangerasked if they might be interested tohelp prepare the park for the sum-mer. “We weren’t planning a serv-ice project for the boys on this

trip,” remarked Scoutmaster SteveSchneider. “However, the BoyScout slogan is ‘Do a good turndaily’ and they were more thanwilling to lend a hand.”

The Scouts and their adult lead-ers pitched in to clean and rake ap-proximately 1.5 miles of bike trailin a wooded section of the park.All were rewarded with a delicioushot lunch provided by the grateful

park staff.The Scouting program helps

youth develop academic skills,self-confidence, ethics, leadershipabilities, and citizenship skillswhile having fun in the outdoors.To find out more about Cub Scout-ing or Boy Scouting or to inquireabout membership, please contactMike Baka at 920-452-2112.

The Future Home ofBullard Children’s Dentistry...Designedby Kids...For Kids!By: Megan Conklin, student writer

Renovation is underway for thenew location of Bullard Children'sDentistry. I have a unique perspec-tive on this project that I would liketo share. My name is Megan Con-klin and I am 14 years old. I am amember of the Building AdvisoryBoard.

The Building Advisory Board isa group of 10 local students ages10-18. We have been meetingsince November to discuss the newbuilding: the exterior, the interior,the décor, EVERYTHING. Thismeeting of creative minds hasbrought new and sometimes a fewcrazy ideas for a unique buildingand business.

This has been a neat experiencefor me and the rest of the board.We have helped with the architec-ture, interior design, writing andvisual arts. This sounds like a lot ofwork, and it is. But we have fun,too. Our meetings have been filledwith pizza and desserts. During ourFebruary meeting, we “graffiti-ed”the new building to kick off therenovation and left messages forthe builders. There were even afew sledgehammers involved!

Over spring break, the interiordecorating sub-committee met toselect furniture, and décor for thechild and teen waiting areas. InApril, the technology committeevoted on the selection of gamesand entertainment (via e-mail, ofcourse).

After the final cement waspoured in May, we invited theBoard of Directors (made up ofchildren aged 5-10) to join us andput their handprints into the side-walk. We thought they should getto leave their mark, too, becausethey helped with decisions like car-pet, paint colors for walls and toysfor the waiting room. And if thatwasn’t enough, the Bullards al-lowed us to create a huge JacksonPollock-style action painting (out-side, of course) which will proudlyhang for all to see.

Overall, it’s been a terrific learn-ing experience. We believe thatBullard Children’s Dentistry andSheboygan County together have abright and exciting future.

The future office is locatedacross the street from the Sheboy-gan Marcus Cinema at 3304 Wil-gus Ave. in Sheboygan and will beopen for business in July. Mem-bers of the Building AdvisoryBoard include: Meg Biznek (age10), Hank Biznek (age 13), AaronCantleberry (student photographer,age 18), Megan Conklin (age 14),Sam Kohler (age 12), Abby Lee(age 15), Tyler Lewis (age 15),Alex Romanoski (age 17), KendallWolf (age 17), and Sydney Yang(student director, age 16). JuniorBoard Members include SamBiznek (age 9), Bridget Bullard(age 9) and Eddie Bullard (age 7).

Troopco-advisor Lisa Morrissett said, "My co-advisor,Susan Senti, and I are so proud of the girls. It wastheir idea completely of what to do with the prof-its." Shawna Uselding sent a message back to thegirls: "Your package was the highlight of myweek! It felt so good to be able to post that dona-tion to CureSearch, and every penny brings mehope that one day a cure will be found. I hope thegirls understand what a great thing they did!Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Three longtimeteachers to retire fromKohler Schools

Joel Somerville Len Hucke Cindy Bleuel Judge urges commonsense at graduationtime

Parents, commencement seasonis almost here. This annual rite ofpassage is one of the major eventsof the high school experience.I write to urge you to do whateveryou can to make sure the memoriesyour children take from graduationare all good. Please make sureyour child's graduation is safe andat the same time, be sure that youobey the law as well.

In the past, some parents havehosted graduation parties where al-cohol has been provided to under-age individuals. This is against thelaw. Police Departments through-out Sheboygan County enforce thislaw. Violating it may lead to finesof hundreds of dollars.The law in Wisconsin is clear: Noone younger than 21 can legallyconsume alcoholic beverages with-out their parent or legal guardianbeing present. Further, adults maynot purchase, pour or provide alco-hol to underage persons, nor maythey knowingly permit underage

consumption or possession of alco-hol in the home or any other prop-erty under their control.

The Wisconsin Supreme Courthas ruled that if a person is injuredas a result of conduct by an under-age person who drank alcohol at aparty hosted or known about byparents, the hosting parents may beheld liable for the harm that re-sults.

For the safety of our children, aswell as for your own protection,please follow the law. Do not per-mit any alcohol to be served or ac-cessible to underage partiers onyour property.

In addition, please talk with yourchildren about the dangers associ-ated with underage drinking. Makesure your child understands Wis-consin's Zero Tolerance Law,which is vigorously enforced herein Sheboygan County.

This law clearly states that anunderage person cannot operate amotor vehicle with any amount of

alcohol in the blood. If caughtdriving after consuming any alco-hol whatsoever, the underagedriver faces a minimum of severalhundred dollars in fines and amandatory suspension of theirdriving privilege. Penalties fordriving while intoxicated are evenhigher.

There are many options for fun,safe, alcohol-free activities. Infor-mation about these activities maybe obtained from your student'shigh school office.

Please consider the safety of yourchild and your child's friends thisgraduation season and set a properexample for them by obeying Wis-consin's drinking laws.

Now entering its 41st season,Summer Theatre at the JohnMichael Kohler Arts Center willpresent two captivating produc-tions in July—A Rising Wind:The Lady Elgin Story and BenFranklin: Unplugged.

“Audiences can expect anothersummer season of high quality en-tertainment,” said Ann Brusky,Arts Center performing arts coor-dinator. “Each of these superb pro-ductions invites us to look back onhistoric events with a fresh per-spective, something that mar-velously ties in with the ArtsCenter’s upcoming exhibitions andprogramming theme of memory.”

A Rising Wind: The Lady ElginStory, playing July 6-9 at 7:30 p.m.and July 10 at 2 p.m., opens theSummer Theatre season. Producedand written by John Kishline andEdward Morgan, A Rising Wind:The Lady Elgin Story recounts amomentous shipwreck thatchanged the cultural landscape ofthe region.

Five voices from the past shedlight on the night the Lady Elginnever returned to shore, bringingalive the political and social tur-moil in Wisconsin on the eve ofthe Civil War. A German reporter,an Irish patriot, a runaway slave,

an idealistic sailor, and a youngMilwaukee girl each tell their ver-sion of the event in a rich tapestryof character, humor and suspense.

Humor of historic proportionswill be offered up in the secondSummer Theatre production, BenFranklin: Unplugged, playing July27–30 at 7:30 p.m. and July 31 at2 p.m.

Written and performed by JoshKornbluth, in collaboration withdirector David Dower, this wittyone-man show tracks Kornbluth’spursuit of an American icon afterhe realizes his remarkable resem-blance to Benjamin Franklin. As itmoves from the halls of academiato richly comic interactions withKornbluth’s mother, Bunny, andhis Aunt Birdie, Ben Franklin: Un-plugged weaves an engaging taleof foibles to be found both in ourfamilies and the man on the $100bill.

Steffen Vroomcurrently plays professional soccerin Australia for the BrisbaneWolves of the Brisbane PremierLeague, the second tier of profes-sional soccer in Australia. He cur-rently leads the league in scoringwith eleven goals in ten games.

“Steffen was in the Village lastfall and I asked him to help out atsoccer practice so I got to knowhim a little bit. Not only is he avery good player but he is a verynice guy.” said Kohler SoccerCoach Scott Feltner. “We've gotseveral high school soccer alumniplaying college ball right now, butto know there is a guy with rootsin the village playing pro soccer ispretty cool.”

Vroom has been getting atten-tion from coaches in the A-League,the top tier of pro soccer in Aus-tralia. If he keeps on scoring goalsit won't be long before he will beplying his trade in the top league.

1980 Blue Bombers Bring Home The GoldBy Bruce Erickson

Coach Dan Buhr was highly antic-ipating the 1979-80 basketball sea-son. He would have most of hisplayers back from the previous yearwho missed going to State in a onepoint loss in the sectional finals.That year Kohler was improvingevery game and made an outstand-ing tournament run. In the first gamein sectionals at West Bend theywould pull off one of the biggest up-sets in Kohler tournament history.Their opponent was Pardeeville thatwas ranked number one in the Statein Class C and sported a record of22-0. They were led by 6-6 centerMark Bortz who a few years laterwould be playing in the 1985 SuperBowl with the Chicago Bears. Otherstarters were 6-5, 6-2- and 6-2 andwere complimented by a fine shoot-ing guard in Hammond. Kohler wasnot given much of a chance butDwight Pelkin of the SheboyganPress described it this way- “Kohlerwon in might be described as one ofthe finest prep games of the season.They won it in a hairy and convinc-ing fashion. It was hairy because itwas a point swapper all the way- butit was convincing in that in the finalminute or so when it got down to thenitty gritty, the Bombers showedtheir stuff in refusing to panic andplayed with authority to actuallywind up a solid 64-59 victor.” Theywould play Palmyra the next nightfor the right to go to Madison. Theyfell in a heart breaker 48-47. MarkStrenger was the only starter beinglost to graduation.

Coach Buhr was excited as histeam coming back had an outstand-ing point guard in 5-11 Doug Boc-chini and a sharpshooter from theoutside in 6-0 Paul Prange. The frontline was impressive with 6-4 JimWolf, 6-3 Curt Scheppmann,and 6-3Tim Collins set to control the boardsand give them excellent insideshooting. First off the bench waspromising freshman 6-6 Joe Wolf.Other team members were DanBiwan, Tim Mauer, Mike Gier, ArtiePerry, Jeff Molenda, and JimStrenger. Kohler started the season alittle shakey dropping two of its firstfour games. They would finish theseason sharing the conference cham-pionship with Howards Grove eachwith a 13-1 record After their earlyseason losses Kohler would reel off22 wins in a row. The team was get-ting better with every game andfreshman Joe Wolf was getting moreand more playing time and showedsigns of the super player that hewould become. Kohler had threehard tests before they could get toMadison in 1980. A rematch witharch-rival Howards Grove, a surpris-ing game from Oostburg and anothershow down with Pardeeville. Kohlerstarted tounnament play with a gameat home against Cedar Grove andwon 63-51. They would next faceHowards Grove who had split withthe Bombers during the year. Thatwas their only loss as they came intothe tournament with a record of 17-1. Before a packed house in theKohler gym the home team put on adefensive show as they buried theTigers 53-38.

Next it was on to Howards Groveto face Oostburg in the regionalopener. Kohler had overwhelmedOostburg in the last game of the sea-

son by 41 points. Oostburg CoachJohn Moriarity made a decision- ifhe could not keep up with theBombers in a normal way he wouldhave his team play a delay game.Oostburg started the game with aplanned tip off play that almostworked but the Oostburg playermissed the lay-up. Kohler managed6 points in the first quarter and led6-0. Oostburg held the ball for theentire 2nd quarter and took a shot atthe buzzer that missed. Kohlerstayed in its zone defense. Oostburggot the 2nd half tip and again heldthe ball for five more minutes. Al-though the Kohler fans were restlessthe team kept its cool. Doug Boc-chini stole the ball near the end ofthe third quarter and scored on a lay-up to make the score 8-0. Oostburgdid not have a point after three quar-ters. In the fourth quarter Oostburgdecided it was time to play regularbaskeball and did get the game to18-12 but their game plan did notwork as Kohler won the game 23-13.The Bombers made 8 out of 9 fieldgoal attempts for the game. The nextnight they would face Gibralter andwon easily 66-47 to move on to theWest Bend sectionals.

The first game at WestBend was againstPardeeville who had posteda season record of 20-2.They lost the the tall Bortzbrothers from a year beforebut had outstanding guardHammond returning. Hehad blistered Kohler with28 points the year beforeand that was his average forthe 79-80 season. In thisgame the job of guardingHammond was given toDoug Bocchini who did amasterful job. Hammonddid end up with 21 pointsbut he had to earn everyone of them. MeanwhileKohler was hitting on allcylinders- Curt Schepp-mann had 18 points and 13rebounds, Joe Wolf 18points and 7 boards, PaulPrange was hitting fromlong range and added 18points and Jim Wolf scored

14. Kohler won by a score of 72-60.The sectional championship gameagainst Waterloo was not close asKohler won 70-51 to get them toState. Paul Prange led the team with22 points.

First up in Madison would be theAltoona Railroaders who were com-ing in with a 19-4 record. This wastheir first trip to State in 27 years.Kohler got off to a slow and shakystart in the game with nine turnoversin the first quarter- tournament jittersmaybe. They did settle down afterbeing behind 20-18 at the end of thefirst quarter. Altoona went up 30 to22 before the Bombers went to workand took the lead 40-37 at halftime.Kohler pulled away in the secondhalf and won the game 73-60. JoeWolf had 16 points and 12 rebounds,Jim Wolf had 19 points, Curt Schep-pmann 16 and Paul Prange 18. DougBocchini had another stellar floorgame. Kohler would play Edgar forthe championship. Edger had notbeen in the state tournament for 43years but had a team that posted arecord of 24-1 and had won a statefootball championship the previousfall. They were led by 6-7 center

Larry Brown and had a tough press-ing defense. After an even first quar-ter in which Kohler held a 19-17lead the Bombers would slowly pullaway during the rest of the game.They were up 57-38 with six min-utes to go when Edgar made a 16-3run to make the score 62-56 with1:28 left. But Paul Prange knockedin a fifteen footer and Jim Wolfadded two free throws to put thegame away. The Kohler fans andteam went berserk as the final sec-onds ticked down and the BlueBombers were about to earn the firsts state basketball championship inthe history of Kohler High School.

Jim Wolf had 23 points, Paul Prange20 and Joe Wolf 12. Jim Wolf wouldbe named to the all tourney team andwas the top scorer in Class C with 42points. The gold trophy was awardedright after the game and the celebra-tion was on.

A victory celebration was held forthe team and fans at the MapledaleCountry Club in Madison after thegame. Three senior players ad-dressed the crowd- Tim Collinsmentioned “class.” Curt Schepp-mann said he would like to see thewinning streak hit 70 and Doug Boc-cinni talked about “teamwork.” OnSunday the team was met near Ply-mouth by a caravan of 80-100 carsand a Kohler fire truck. They madetheir way through the village tocheering crowds and ended in a hugepep rally in the gym. Village Presi-dent Wes Prange spoke for the com-munity and lauded the team and fansfor their fine example shown duringthe exciting days in Madison.

“THOSE WERE THE DAYS MYFRIENDS- WE THOUGHT THEYWOULD NEVER END.” Next wewill look at the year of double gold-1982.

First place trophy for 1980.

Why are there so many runners on the roadwhen there’s a perfectly good sidewalk?

By guest writer Kate MarventanoLet’s get something straight: I do

not enjoy running. I am not one ofthose cute women you see runningaround Kohler wearing a greatmatching outfit and runninglightly. No – I’m the one out therelumbering slowly down yourstreet, dressed in all black (hopingto cover any jiggle factor…), look-ing as though I’m being tortured.

They keep telling me that run-ning is easy because it’s conven-ient. All I need are sneakers. Andthey keep telling me that eventu-ally I’ll grow to love it. I’m notsure when that moment will strike,but I keep hoping for it. Runningin Wisconsin is not as easy as we’dlike to believe – snow, ice, rain,wind and the resulting potholesand upheavals of sidewalk androad are all impediments to run-ning in our fair state.

Why would I run if I don’t enjoyit, and the Wisconsin weatherbeckons me to the couch with abowl of popcorn? Despite the factthat I don’t like it, it’s becomesomething of a meditation time forme. I need it. Not a single run hap-pens without my feeling a sense ofdread at the start. But at the end, Ican’t believe I made it. I can’t be-lieve I survived. Out on my runs, Ilisten to music because I needsomething to cover the sound ofmy chokes and gasps for breath.I’m also looking around, taking inthe birds, the beautiful swayingtrees, and the fabulous yards andgardens that my neighbors keep inour lovely little village. I’m think-ing it all through. My hobby (asidefrom running in misery) is over-thinking everything. I need thattime to work out problems in my

mind. I need it to set my goals, tolist my upcoming projects. I needit to feel as though I’m contribut-ing to my overall health and result-ing happiness.

I thought of this article becauseI’ve noticed more and more run-ners out there as the weather getsbetter. When a car drives past meon the road, I can always identifya fellow runner – they give me awide berth in which to safely run.And in turn, I try to do the same forthem when I’m in my car. Runners choose to run on the roadrather than the sidewalk for myriadreasons. Here are four of mine:1. Asphalt road is actually softerthan concrete sidewalks. The dif-ference may seem negligible, butmy screaming knees and back cancertainly feel it in the long run. 2. For those of us that are coordi-nation-challenged, the sidewalkprovides 100x the opportunity totrip and fall. Sidewalks have acrack approximately every threefeet. They have dips and slopesand curbs. I don’t know aboutother runners, but after a fewmiles, lifting my foot even a bitfurther to run up onto the curbseems like a treacherous undertak-ing. Getting lost in thought is easyto do while running. Noticingevery crack and upheaval isn’t. 3. For tracking reasons, I prefer tostick to the road rather than a trail.I use a GPS to figure out how farI’ve gone. I start checking thatGPS pretty consistently aroundmile five when I’m getting rathertired. If the GPS fails, I track mymileage in my car. Actually, I trackmy mileage in my car every singletime I run because I’m so amazedthat I made it that far. Tempting as

it is, I can’t go off road to checkmy mileage when I use a trail. 4. This spring several of our side-walks and trails have been washedout as a result of our lovelyweather. Running is hard enoughwithout having to navigate aroundan impromptu pond.

I’m guessing we’ll be getting

more runners out on the road assummer rolls around. Please con-sider giving us room on the road.We’re grateful for it, and we ap-preciate every foot of space youcan grant us. A 3,000 pound vehi-cle moving towards us even asslow as 35 mph is pretty scary toan exhausted runner.

Thanks for keeping an eye outfor us. Wave hi to me when yousee me out there. You’ll knowwhich one I am right away – I’mwearing all black and looking un-happy. But I’m actually celebrat-ing life, health, and I’m thankful Ihave such a safe village in whichto run.

Kohler Friends Meet-and-Greet Park Schedule

How does the summer slip away so fast? I always intend to plan great activities and then the days seem to get away from me…or I end up taking my kids to the same places over and over again! Here’s an easy way to meet other people from Kohler and experience more of the area!

This summer we’re going to try a different park every Wednesday – we’re looking for friends and neighbors to come join us and help make the experience fun! We’ll be at most of the parks anywhere between 12 – 3 and bringing a picnic lunch.

Come to one, some, or all of the park dates – there’s no obligation or commitment. (I’m sure we’ll be missing some of the dates!) We won’t be meeting in the event of rain. Most of the parks have a bathroom available. Hope you can join us!

Kohler Co. Unveils Blackwolf Run River and MeadowValleys Courses After Major Maintenance ProjectPete Dye’s first Kohler masterpiece restored to showcase original characteristics of the course Kohler Co. is proud to unveilthe Blackwolf Run River andMeadow Valleys courses aftercompleting a major maintenanceproject to all 36 holes. The two-year undertaking resulted in newgrasses on greens, tees, fairwaysand selected rough areas, as wellas extending the yardage of thecourses, all aimed to bring backsome of the original playing char-acteristics that Pete Dye intendedwhen Blackwolf Run was firstbuilt more than 20 years ago. One of Pete Dye’s crowningachievements, Blackwolf Runopened for play in June 1988 andwas named that year’s “Best NewPublic Course” by Golf Digest. Ithas continued to accumulateawards and honors including reg-ularly being ranked on the list of“America’s 100 Greatest GolfCourses” by Golf Digest and the“Top 100 You Can Play” byGOLF Magazine. “The new black tees, as well asthe new length of the other fivesets of tees gives the River course

a fresh feel for golfers who haveplayed it in the past,” commentsJim Richerson, General Manager& Group Director of Kohler Golf.“The improved playing surfaceswill provide major championship-caliber conditions for our every-day amateurs, as well as provide astiff challenge for the best profes-sionals at the 2012 U.S. Women’sOpen.” This is the first time since 2008that both courses are open forplay. The 2010 season showcasedthe Original ChampionshipCourse, the same course that willbe played during the 2012 U.S.Women’s Open, July 2-8. Themaintenance initiative was super-vised by Pete Dye and managedby the Kohler golf maintenanceteam, headed by Jim Richersonand Michael Lee, Manager ofGrounds Maintenance for KohlerCo.Specific improvements include:Greens and FairwaysReplaced a mixture of grass typeswith a single improved variety of

Creeping Bentgrass. This im-proved variety is hardy in Wis-consin winters, allowingsignificant improvement in springand late fall playing conditions.The new grass variety has adeeper, more vigorous root sys-tem so it requires less water,which provides golfers with fasterand firmer fairways and puttingsurfaces.
