fit Kohler Schools.

the overall male 5k with a time of 17.53,
and Meghan Falconer of Kohler (age 14)

Free admission
to U.S. Senior
Open for military
personnel
Governor Jim Doyle announced on June
14 that the state will honor military person-
nel and their families during the Fourth of
July celebration at the U.S. Senior Open. In
recognition for their service, all active mili-
tary personnel will receive free admission
to the U.S. Open. This special opportunity
to enjoy the tournament is a collaborative
effort between the Wisconsin Department of
Tourism, Kohler Co., and the United States
Golf Association (USGA).
Our men and women in uniform
deserve and have earned the deepest
respect and most profound gratitude of the
people of Wisconsin, Governor Doyle
said. Although we can never repay the debt
we owe our soldiers for their brave and hon-
orable service, Im proud that Wisconsin
offers the best package of veteran benefits
in the nation. The U.S. Senior Open is
always an enjoyable event. Im proud
theyve chosen to hold it here in Wisconsin
and Im pleased we can offer this small
showing of our appreciation to our men and
women in uniform.
Active military personnel in Wisconsin
will receive complimentary admission each
day of the tournament, including the cham-
pionship rounds on Thursday, Friday,

cation card and may be asked to show a
Wisconsin drivers license as proof of resi-
dency.
On July 4th, military personnel and their
families will be admitted to the tournament
free of charge for the final practice round
before the competition.
U.S. Senior Open fans interested in par-
ticipating in the initiative will be able to

tary serving oversees throughout tourna-
ment week. The Wisconsin Department of
Tourism will provide message cards and

nament information booth on the tourna-
ment grounds.
In addition, five dollars will be donated

The Knock Out
Rose
Program guarantees
admission to UW System
institutions
Some Kohler High School graduates
who plan to attend a four-year institution
such as the University of Wisconsin-
Madison, are choosing to begin their aca-
demic study at UW-Sheboygan, where they
will take advantage of the UW Systems
Guaranteed Transfer Program.
UW-Sheboygan is one of thirteen cam-
puses of the UWColleges located through-
out the state of Wisconsin offering course-
work at the freshman and sophomore level.
Students participating in the Guaranteed
Transfer Program are guaranteed admis-
sion to another UWSystem institution as a
junior. After fulfilling certain credit and
grade point average requirements, students
transfer with the same rights and privileges
as those who begin their education at the
baccalaureate institutions.
At the UW Colleges, courses are
designed for transfer within the UW
System. Since UW Colleges such as UW-
Sheboygan are fully accredited by The
Higher Learning Commission and a mem-
ber of the North Central Association, the
credits students earn at UW-Sheboygan will
be accepted by other colleges and universi-
ties in Wisconsin and throughout the coun-
try.
The UWsystem also offers the Madison
Connections program. UW-Madison cannot
accommodate all of the academically
strong students who apply for admission, so
selected UW-Madison freshman applicants
for the fall term are invited to participate in
the Connections Program in lieu of direct
freshman admission. In early spring, they
receive a letter of invitation and a Program
Agreement document from UW-Madisons
Office of Admissions. Students choosing to
participate return the Program Agreement to
the Director of the Connections Program,
designating the two-year campus they want
to attend. UW-Madison then works with the
two-year campus chosen by the student to
admit the student for fall. Students attend
freshman orientation and enroll for fall
classes at the two-year campus. Participants
also are invited to attend a special summer
program at UW-Madison, where they
receive a UW-Madison ID card and addi-
tional academic advising. When program
requirements are fulfilled, the director of
the Connections Program will facilitate the
Connections students transition to UW-
Madison as a junior.
According to Joyce Atkins of Kohler,
who is the Assistant Campus Dean for
Student Services at UW-Sheboygan,
Students will get a solid start here in small
classes. We have a state-of-the art science
building completed in 2004 and the new
Acuity Technology Center houses our
library and computer labs.
According to Teri Venker, Executive
Director, University Relations, Students
who start at the UW Colleges and transfer,
graduate at a higher percentage than any
other kind of transfer student (such as stu-
dents who transfer from the technical col-
leges, other UWfour-year schools and/or
private schools).

The Kohler High School Girls Soccer
Team ended the season with a record of 6
wins, 1 tie and 1 loss. The team is run by the
Kohler Soccer Club in lieu of a program for
girls soccer in the High School. The girls
play local area high school junior varsity
teams. Next year Kohler will have a co-op
varsity team including Sheboygan Lutheran
and Kohler.
The girls success this season demon-
strates there is a group of girls in Kohler
who can compete and win, said head coach
Scott Feltner. I feel a bit sad for our two
seniors, Abby Dolloff and Allison
Lichtenberg, who wont get the chance to
play varsity soccer but have been with the
program over the past four years. We also
have several area home-schooled girls on
the team who wont be eligible to play next
year.
The good news is we have a large and
talented group of eighth graders coming into
the program, said Feltner. The Central
Lakeshore Conference is tough but it looks
like we will have a team that will be com-
petitive next year and several years to
come.

Kohler High School girls club
team ends successful season
The dedication and ribbon cutting of the
new Kohler Tunnel at Road America took
place on on Friday, June 1st.
The tunnel replaced the bridge entrance
into the paddock and was just one of many
improvements made to the track during the
winter. Designed to accommodate two lanes
of vehicle traffic and two pedestrian walk-
ways, the tunnel has a 16.5' clearance and is
36 feet wide and 168 feet long. McMahon
and Associates of Neenah, Wisconsin,
designed the tunnel and served as general
contractor. The tunnels unique pre-cast
concrete roofing structure enabled the tun-
nel to be located in its desirable location
near the farmhouse office and Gate 1.
Attending the ceremony were Road
America President George Bruggenthies,
the Sheboygan County Chamber
Ambassadors (blue jackets), Kohler compa-
ny staffers, and Kohler Global Power
President Dick Fotsch, who cut the ribbon.

Soliciting without permits: The
Village of Kohler has been experienc-
ing an increase in door-to-door sales-
persons soliciting without first obtain-
ing permits. The fees for the permits
are nominal, but the important aspect
is that the Village is aware of exactly
who is soliciting. Background checks
can be run and only legitimate organi-
zations are allowed to solicit. If some-
one is soliciting legally, they will not
be upset if they are asked to see their
permit. If no permit has been issued,
please send them on their way and
contact the police department immedi-
ately.
Bike Safety Day: The Bike Safety
Day held on June 9
th
was a huge suc-
cess. The event was held in the Village
Hall lot with approximately 200+ par-
ticipants. Officer Chad Gross did a
good job in preparing for the event this
year. We never anticipated having such
a high turnout as we usually have
between 55 and 75 participants. Thank
you to the parents who assisted.
Everyone I spoke with said his or her
children enjoyed the program. Our
department received a grant from
Habush, Habush & Rottier SC for the
bike helmets that were given out. The
soda was donated by Lakeside Pepsi
and the chips were donated by Frito
Lay Inc. The Kohler Police
Department then provided the partici-
pants with either a cable lock, halogen
light, or an electronic odometer for
their bikes. We appreciate the assis-
tance from Wolf Cycle to make this a
successful event. We all look forward
to doing it again next year. Pictures of
the event are posted on the Kohler
Police Department website at
www.kohlerpolice.com.
U.S. Senior Open Event Update: The
USSO runs from July 2
nd
through July
8
th
. The Kohler Police Department is
geared up for the added activities and
tourists. Additional officers will be
assigned to the shifts to deal with the
increased traffic flow and the other
demands for service. Kohler police
officers will be involved in an egress
route from the course that may include
directing as many as 9,000 cars a day
back to I-43 southbound. I had request-
ed and received approval from the
Tourism Committee to receive reim-
bursement for overtime and part-time
officer expenses. We anticipated an
increased workload during the event,
but didnt want the services to the
Village residents to suffer either. We
are anticipating an increased number
of parking and traffic related issues
with the different events scheduled
during the tournament. Residents are
encouraged to call our department if
they have concerns.
FROM PUBLIC WORKS SUPER-
INTENDENT BRUCE NEERHOF
