Kohler Brownie Troop #8048 donates entire 2011 cookie-sale profits to childrens cancer research fund
The 3rd grade Kohler Girl Scout Brownie Troop #8048 decided to donate their entire 2011 cookie-sale profits to a childrens' cancer research fund. The check for $624 was forwarded to the Uselding family, former Kohler residents, for them to direct to the charity of their choice. Troop co-advisor Lisa Morrissett said, "My co-advisor, Susan Senti, and I are so proud of the girls. It was their idea completely of what to do with the profits." Shawna Uselding sent a message back to the girls: "Your package was the highlight of my week! It felt so good to be able to post that donation to CureSearch, and every penny brings me hope that one day a cure will be found. I hope the girls understand what a great thing they did! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

The Blue Bombers Boys Golf team capped an impressive regular season with a dominating win at the Central Lakeshore Conference Tournament, held at Whispering Springs Golf Club. The Blue Bombers used strong play by all four of their top scorers to record a team score of 319, 15 strokes better than tournament runner-up Elkhart Lake and 17 strokes better than third place Sheboygan Lutheran. The CLC tournament performance secured the Blue Bombers the overall conference team title with 26 conference points. Sheboygan Lutheran and Elkhart Lake finished in a 2nd place tie in the overall standings with 23 points apiece.

son by 41 points. Oostburg Coach John Moriarity made a decision- if he could not keep up with the Bombers in a normal way he would have his team play a delay game. Oostburg started the game with a planned tip off play that almost worked but the Oostburg player missed the lay-up. Kohler managed 6 points in the first quarter and led 6-0. Oostburg held the ball for the entire 2nd quarter and took a shot at the buzzer that missed. Kohler stayed in its zone defense. Oostburg got the 2nd half tip and again held the ball for five more minutes. Although the Kohler fans were restless the team kept its cool. Doug Bocchini stole the ball near the end of the third quarter and scored on a layup to make the score 8-0. Oostburg did not have a point after three quarters. In the fourth quarter Oostburg decided it was time to play regular baskeball and did get the game to 18-12 but their game plan did not work as Kohler won the game 23-13. The Bombers made 8 out of 9 field goal attempts for the game. The next night they would face Gibralter and won easily 66-47 to move on to the West Bend sectionals. The first game at West Bend was against Pardeeville who had posted a season record of 20-2. They lost the the tall Bortz brothers from a year before but had outstanding guard Hammond returning. He had blistered Kohler with 28 points the year before and that was his average for the 79-80 season. In this game the job of guarding Hammond was given to Doug Bocchini who did a masterful job. Hammond did end up with 21 points but he had to earn every one of them. Meanwhile Kohler was hitting on all cylinders- Curt Scheppmann had 18 points and 13 rebounds, Joe Wolf 18 points and 7 boards, Paul Prange was hitting from long range and added 18 points and Jim Wolf scored
14. Kohler won by a score of 72-60. The sectional championship game against Waterloo was not close as Kohler won 70-51 to get them to State. Paul Prange led the team with 22 points. First up in Madison would be the Altoona Railroaders who were coming in with a 19-4 record. This was their first trip to State in 27 years. Kohler got off to a slow and shaky start in the game with nine turnovers in the first quarter- tournament jitters maybe. They did settle down after being behind 20-18 at the end of the first quarter. Altoona went up 30 to 22 before the Bombers went to work and took the lead 40-37 at halftime. Kohler pulled away in the second half and won the game 73-60. Joe Wolf had 16 points and 12 rebounds, Jim Wolf had 19 points, Curt Scheppmann 16 and Paul Prange 18. Doug Bocchini had another stellar floor game. Kohler would play Edgar for the championship. Edger had not been in the state tournament for 43 years but had a team that posted a record of 24-1 and had won a state football championship the previous fall. They were led by 6-7 center
Larry Brown and had a tough pressing defense. After an even first quarter in which Kohler held a 19-17 lead the Bombers would slowly pull away during the rest of the game. They were up 57-38 with six minutes to go when Edgar made a 16-3 run to make the score 62-56 with 1:28 left. But Paul Prange knocked in a fifteen footer and Jim Wolf added two free throws to put the game away. The Kohler fans and team went berserk as the final seconds ticked down and the Blue Bombers were about to earn the first s state basketball championship in the history of Kohler High School.
Jim Wolf had 23 points, Paul Prange 20 and Joe Wolf 12. Jim Wolf would be named to the all tourney team and was the top scorer in Class C with 42 points. The gold trophy was awarded right after the game and the celebration was on. A victory celebration was held for the team and fans at the Mapledale Country Club in Madison after the game. Three senior players addressed the crowd- Tim Collins mentioned class. Curt Scheppmann said he would like to see the winning streak hit 70 and Doug Boccinni talked about teamwork. On Sunday the team was met near Plymouth by a caravan of 80-100 cars and a Kohler fire truck. They made their way through the village to cheering crowds and ended in a huge pep rally in the gym. Village President Wes Prange spoke for the community and lauded the team and fans for their fine example shown during the exciting days in Madison. THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIENDS- WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD NEVER END. Next we will look at the year of double gold1982.

Habush Habush & Rottier continues statewide helmet-fitting tour at Kohler Bicycle Safety Day
Helmet fitting specialists from Habush Habush & Rottier to offer free bike helmets and fittings to 75 local children
Kohler, Wis. June 4, 2011 The Habush Habush & Rottier Charitable Foundation will continue its statewide tour to provide and fit children with free bike helmets at the Kohler Bicycle Safety Day. Seventy-five local children will receive a free, specially-fit helmet on a first-come, first-served basis from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 4 at the Kohler Police Department, located at 319 Highland Dr. in Kohler. Thirty-nine Habush Habush & Rottier employees have been trained by Safe Kids USA, an organization dedicated to preventing accidental childhood injury, to offer specialized fitting services along with their annual bike helmet donations. Since 1999, the Habush firms charitable funds have distributed more than 81,500 bicycle helmets to children throughout the State of Wisconsin and plan to donate an additional 10,000 this summer. Researchers have found that wearing a helmet can reduce the severity of brain injury by as much as 88%. Most of the helmets are distributed at bike safety rodeos and summer safety programs run by police departments and community organizations throughout Wisconsin. In addition, many police officers around the state distribute bicycle helmets to neighborhood children while on patrol, helping to promote positive, open relationships between local authorities and youth. The Habush Habush & Rottier Charitable Foundation was established in 1999 to allow the law firm to give back to the communities in which its attorneys practice. The Habush Habush & Rottier law firm has been a Wisconsin personal injury law firm for over 75 years. Thirteen offices are located throughout the State of Wisconsin and are located in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Madison, Appleton, Green Bay, Racine, Kenosha, Lake Geneva, Wausau, Rhinelander, Sheboygan, West Bend and Stevens Point.

Benefits of Aquatics
Each summer, parks and recreation professionals unlock the gates to community pools, hiring lifeguards and preparing programs. Running aquatic facilities can be hard work, but for residents, summer, especially, marks the beginning of warm days relaxing on the pool deck, pool parties, and swim teams. What is the appeal of these crystal clear waters? Research indicates that there is more participation in aquatic based recreation and sport than any other activity. Why? What does an aquatic facility really mean to a community? In essence, what are the benefits? Physical Benefits = Improves posture, flexibility, muscular endurance, strength and balance. = Stimulates circulation. = Creates muscle tone.

Why are there so many runners on the road when theres a perfectly good sidewalk?
By guest writer Kate Marventano Lets get something straight: I do not enjoy running. I am not one of those cute women you see running around Kohler wearing a great matching outfit and running lightly. No Im the one out there lumbering slowly down your street, dressed in all black (hoping to cover any jiggle factor), looking as though Im being tortured. They keep telling me that running is easy because its convenient. All I need are sneakers. And they keep telling me that eventually Ill grow to love it. Im not sure when that moment will strike, but I keep hoping for it. Running in Wisconsin is not as easy as wed like to believe snow, ice, rain, wind and the resulting potholes and upheavals of sidewalk and road are all impediments to running in our fair state. Why would I run if I dont enjoy it, and the Wisconsin weather beckons me to the couch with a bowl of popcorn? Despite the fact that I dont like it, its become something of a meditation time for me. I need it. Not a single run happens without my feeling a sense of dread at the start. But at the end, I cant believe I made it. I cant believe I survived. Out on my runs, I listen to music because I need something to cover the sound of my chokes and gasps for breath. Im also looking around, taking in the birds, the beautiful swaying trees, and the fabulous yards and gardens that my neighbors keep in our lovely little village. Im thinking it all through. My hobby (aside from running in misery) is overthinking everything. I need that time to work out problems in my mind. I need it to set my goals, to list my upcoming projects. I need it to feel as though Im contributing to my overall health and resulting happiness. I thought of this article because Ive noticed more and more runners out there as the weather gets better. When a car drives past me on the road, I can always identify a fellow runner they give me a wide berth in which to safely run. And in turn, I try to do the same for them when Im in my car. Runners choose to run on the road rather than the sidewalk for myriad reasons. Here are four of mine: 1. Asphalt road is actually softer than concrete sidewalks. The difference may seem negligible, but my screaming knees and back can certainly feel it in the long run. 2. For those of us that are coordination-challenged, the sidewalk provides 100x the opportunity to trip and fall. Sidewalks have a crack approximately every three feet. They have dips and slopes and curbs. I dont know about other runners, but after a few miles, lifting my foot even a bit further to run up onto the curb seems like a treacherous undertaking. Getting lost in thought is easy to do while running. Noticing every crack and upheaval isnt. 3. For tracking reasons, I prefer to stick to the road rather than a trail. I use a GPS to figure out how far Ive gone. I start checking that GPS pretty consistently around mile five when Im getting rather tired. If the GPS fails, I track my mileage in my car. Actually, I track my mileage in my car every single time I run because Im so amazed that I made it that far. Tempting as it is, I cant go off road to check my mileage when I use a trail. 4. This spring several of our sidewalks and trails have been washed out as a result of our lovely weather. Running is hard enough without having to navigate around an impromptu pond. Im guessing well be getting more runners out on the road as summer rolls around. Please consider giving us room on the road. Were grateful for it, and we appreciate every foot of space you can grant us. A 3,000 pound vehicle moving towards us even as slow as 35 mph is pretty scary to an exhausted runner. Thanks for keeping an eye out for us. Wave hi to me when you see me out there. Youll know which one I am right away Im wearing all black and looking unhappy. But Im actually celebrating life, health, and Im thankful I have such a safe village in which to run.
How does the summer slip away so fast? I always intend to plan great activities and then the days seem to get away from meor I end up taking my kids to the same places over and over again! Heres an easy way to meet other people from Kohler and experience more of the area! This summer were going to try a different park every Wednesday were looking for friends and neighbors to come join us and help make the experience fun! Well 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 theres no obligation or commitment. (Im sure well be missing some of the dates!) We wont be meeting in the event of rain. Most of the parks have a bathroom available. Hope you can join us! Date Wed. June 15 Wed. June 22 Wed.

Kohler Co. Unveils Blackwolf Run River and Meadow Valleys Courses After Major Maintenance Project
Pete Dyes first Kohler masterpiece restored to showcase original characteristics of the course
Kohler Co. is proud to unveil the Blackwolf Run River and Meadow Valleys courses after completing a major maintenance project to all 36 holes. The twoyear undertaking resulted in new grasses on greens, tees, fairways and selected rough areas, as well as extending the yardage of the courses, all aimed to bring back some of the original playing characteristics that Pete Dye intended when Blackwolf Run was first built more than 20 years ago. One of Pete Dyes crowning achievements, Blackwolf Run opened for play in June 1988 and was named that years Best New Public Course by Golf Digest. It has continued to accumulate awards and honors including regularly being ranked on the list of Americas 100 Greatest Golf Courses by Golf Digest and the Top 100 You Can Play by GOLF Magazine. The new black tees, as well as the new length of the other five sets of tees gives the River course a fresh feel for golfers who have played it in the past, comments Jim Richerson, General Manager & Group Director of Kohler Golf. The improved playing surfaces will provide major championshipcaliber conditions for our everyday amateurs, as well as provide a stiff challenge for the best professionals at the 2012 U.S. Womens Open. This is the first time since 2008 that both courses are open for play. The 2010 season showcased the Original Championship Course, the same course that will be played during the 2012 U.S. Womens Open, July 2-8. The maintenance initiative was supervised by Pete Dye and managed by the Kohler golf maintenance team, headed by Jim Richerson and Michael Lee, Manager of Grounds Maintenance for Kohler Co. Specific improvements include: Greens and Fairways Replaced a mixture of grass types with a single improved variety of the overall course yardage by 400 yards on the River course and 200 yards on the Meadow Valleys course. Created five distinctive teeing options on each hole for golfers to choose from. Roughs Rough grass was replaced in selected areas around the putting greens to improve chip shots. The turf is more uniform and dense allowing more accurate chip shots. Bunkers The Bunker margins were reestablished to their original shape. In addition, the sand and drainage was replaced to provide a more uniform sand shot and will play dryer immediately after rain events. Practice area The practice area was expanded and the turf on the primary practice tee replaced, offering golfers more options to practice chipping and a higher quality of turf to practice on.
Creeping Bentgrass. This improved variety is hardy in Wisconsin winters, allowing significant improvement in spring and late fall playing conditions. The new grass variety has a deeper, more vigorous root system so it requires less water, which provides golfers with faster and firmer fairways and putting surfaces. The fairways and putting surfaces are also consider-
ably more uniform because of the extreme density of the turf. A more uniform surface supports a faster and firmer fairway surface as well as fewer ball marks and more accurate putts. Tees Re-leveled and replaced turf on tees for an improved tee firmness and level golf stance, in turn improving golfers tee shots. Added several new tees to expand
