In recognition for their service, all active military 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 honorable service, I’m proud that Wisconsin offers the best package of veteran benefits in the nation. The U.S. Senior Open is always an enjoyable event. I’m proud they’ve chosen to hold it here in Wisconsin and I’m 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 championship rounds on Thursday, Friday, Kohler Classic participants of all ages brave the heat with a smile as Herbert V.

Participants work in the Kohler Co. Pottery, Iron and Brass Foundries, and Enamel Shop. Major funding for the Arts/Industries program is provided by Kohler Co. and the National Endowment for the Arts. Kohler Co. associates also participated in the creation of the piece. The plaque weighs approximately 110-112 lbs. and took 80 to 90 hours to complete the pattern work, design, molding and finishing. The estimated cost of the project was $6,000. Time and materials were donated by JMKAC and the remainder of the balance ($2,800) was paid for by Kohler tourism dollars, so the project was completed at no cost to Kohler residents. Dave Murrow was the pattern engineer. Polishing was done by Jack Taubenheim. Bob Halfmann provided the molten brass, and Beth Li helped coordinate the project.

The team is run by the Kohler Soccer Club in lieu of a program for girl’s 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 girl’s 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 won’t 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 won’t 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 competitive next year and several years to Top Row l to r: Kayla Hafeman, Cara Saemann, Anne Feltner, Anne-Marie Beine, Sasha Tendolle, Kelly Suralik, Ashley Sobecki, Emily Mueller, Rachel Krome, Coach Scott Feltner. come.” Bottom row l to r: Brenna Hogan, Danielle Hart, Michaela Tures, Carly Roberts, Abby Dolloff, Roma Kaleka, Allison Lichtenberg, Madeline Wenberg, Emily Kunst, Meghan Case.

Dominic Fioriorini on the podium New Kohler Tunnel at Road America finished 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 tunnel’s unique pre-cast concrete roofing structure enabled the tunnel 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 company staffers, and Kohler Global Power President Dick Fotsch, who cut the ribbon. 14 JULY, 2007 THE KOHLER VILLAGER kohlervillager.com Kohler Classic Wrapup More than 200 participants were present at this year’s Kohler Classic 5K Run/Walk and Children’s 1 Mile Run.
