(April 3, 2012) – As part of its commitment to honoring America’s heroes, Road America announced that all active, reserve-duty military and veterans will receive free admission to the Spring Vintage Races at Road America on Saturday, May 19, which is Armed Forces Day. The Spring Vintage Weekend is a three-day event that runs from May 18-20 and features exciting wheel- to-wheel racing of vintage and his- torical cars. More than 300 participants are expected to race in ten separate groups – from produc- tion and grand touring cars to sports racers, prototypes and for- mula cars. “Our brave women and men of the military are called upon to sac- rifice in countless ways. Now, all of us at Road America want to show our appreciation for their service on Armed Forces Day with free admission to enjoy the Spring Vintage Races,” said George Bruggenthies, Road America track president and general manager. “This is a small gesture of appre- ciation for the women and men who have given so much to defend our liberty and freedom, and con- tinues Road America’s long-stand- ing commitment to our nation’s active and retired military.

To receive the free admission, veterans must either have a retired military identifica- tion card or a standard discharge form known as a DD214. Active duty personnel must have their photo identification card issued by the Department of Defense. In addition to the events on the track, Project GRILL will cele- brate its fifth anniversary with a live unveiling celebration in the paddock area where participating high school teams will unveil their grills. Project GRILL is a commu- nity run program, paring high school teams in Sheboygan County with manufacturing partners in the community to build a customized grill from scratch. By building the grills, high school stu- dents are exposed to excit- ing technology and skills while learning that a career in manufacturing can be very rewarding. This year, five high school teams, in- cluding one from Kohler, are participating in the countywide program.

Dear readers,By now, most are aware of the

picketing around Kohler and infront of my home led by Job Hou-seye of Sheboygan and his family.While I hesitate to use this publica-tion to give the Hou-seyes anymore of the attention they seem tocrave from Kohler residents, I feelI must defend myself from a few ofthe many slanderous accusationsbeing disseminated by Hou-seye.I allow a “child molester” to attack the Hou-seye family onan Internet message board thatI moderate.FALSE. I allow someone who hasbeen the victim of unsubstantiatedchild molestation accusations todefend himself after those accusa-tions were posted by Hou-seye onthat message board and others.(The accused is a former memberof Hou-seye’s powerlifting organi-zation who claims the child mo-lestation accusations werefabricated after he was made statechair of a rival organization thatworks with kids). A recently ob-tained police report from the citywhere the alleged incident tookplace (the victims are not related tothe Hou-seyes), shows that the po-lice conducted a six-month investi-gation in 2007, and the case wasclosed with district attorney declin-ing to press charges. Neither par-ents of the alleged victims (bothfriends of the Hou-seyes), nor thealleged victims (one or both ofwhom are now 18 or over) havecome forward to confirm that theaccusations are true.I use advertising dollars fromconservative businessmen to“secretly” run a “liberal hateforum.”FALSE: The political debate forum(which has never been declared a“liberal” forum) has never been as-sociated with The Kohler Villager

From the editor . . .

The Hou-seyes and friends picket the Struck residence and elsewhere in Kohler, Sheboy-gan and Sheboygan Falls, while a family member captures it for uploading to YouTube.

nor its advertisers. Hou-seye, whohas himself participated on themessage board since 2004, hasposted his share of controversialcomments, as have many otherothers who debate there. Most whoengage in sparring on these onlinemessage boards understand thatmuch of the political rhetoric ex-changed back and forth is justopinion and hyperbole much likepolitical talk radio shows. Any whofind the comments on these forumsoffensive are not obligated to con-tinue visiting or participating in thediscussions. I may be a Scientologist.FALSE. This was one of the morebizarre accusations that was sharedwith a Kohler resident. I havenever been interested in Scientol-ogy, nor have I ever said anythingto indicate that I ever had an inter-est in Scientology.

Many have urged me to contactthe Kohler Police Department. Idid file a complaint, and an officerasked Hou-seye to not have directcontact with me via mail, email,phone, or by knocking on my door,however, the Kohler Police De-partment determined that Hou-seye’s actions have not risen to the

level of criminal conduct, and theycannot prevent him from exercis-ing his First Amendment right toassemble and protest in publicplaces, which includes sidewalksin front of private residences.

After Hou-seye and his friendspicketed my residence, he laterposted on the discussion board thatthree of them had been armed atthe time. There is no law prevent-ing holders of concealed carry per-mits from being armed whileprotesting in front of private resi-dences. Hou-seye is claiming thathis next “phase” of his of his “ONSTRUCK” operation involvesleaving door hangers on Kohlerhomes. Residents should be awarethat he usually carries a concealedfirearm.

While it would take an entirepage in this publication to dispel allof Hou-seye’s accusations, I sim-ply am not interested in using thetime and resources to do so, andmost residents are not interested ina powerlifting feud between twomen who don’t live in Kohler. Ifanyone does have concerns orquestions, feel free to contact me [email protected] or 920-331-4904 and I will gladly providethe facts.

The Kohler Villagerrelies on residentsto submit events,accoladesBy Mary Struck, Publisher/Editor

Sometimes residents ask whycertain school or communityevents aren’t covered in TheKohler Villager. More often thannot it’s because I’m not madeaware of the events, or I becauseI’m only one person and am unableto attend every event that takesplace, especially school events.The school doesn’t have an officialreporter and teachers don’t alwayshave time to write up articles aboutall their students accomplishments,so Village residents who send meannouncements and photos of theirchildren’s school activities andawards are invaluable.

Some residents are shy aboutsharing their student’s accomplish-ments (or their own) because theyfeel it will be seen as bragging. Itell them it’s not bragging, it’snews! Judging by how quicklycopies of The Kohler Villager dis-appear from the newsstand atWoodlake Market, I can confi-dently say that articles featuring aresident or student are the mostpopular!

Now that The Kohler Villager ispublished twice monthly, humaninterest articles and photos can besent at any time without worryingabout meeting a deadline.

Dredging, continued

staying at Sheboygan hotels duringthe LPGA Championship inKohler in August, but the City ofSheboygan and the project team,along with the Sheboygan Cham-ber of Commerce, have been work-ing with local businesses inaddressing those issues.

Area residents have been wait-ing a long time for this cleanup. In1977, the Wisconsin Departmentof Natural Resources detectedPCBs during routine sampling offish in Sheboygan Harbor and thelower Sheboygan River. Highestconcentrations of PCBs were de-tected in sediment immediatelydownstream from Tecumseh Prod-ucts, a die-casting plant, with PCBamounts decreasing farther down-stream from the plant. In 1986, theEPA declared the lower 14 milesection of the Sheboygan Riverand harbor a hazardous waste siteunder the EPA Superfund legisla-tion. The site begins at the Sheboy-gan Falls Dam and flowsdownstream through SheboyganFalls, Kohler and Sheboygan be-fore entering Lake Michigan. Soiland surface water was also con-taminated with heavy metals in-cluding arsenic, chromium, copper,lead and zinc. In 1987, a PCB-con-taminated fish, and fish and water-fowl consumption advisory wentinto effect.

A Sheboygan River DredgingWorkgroup was established in Au-gust of 2009 to assist in coordinat-ing the cleanup projects, and isrepresented by officials from theEPA Region 5, Great Lakes Na-tional Program Office (GLNPO),Wisconsin Department of Natural

Resources (DNR), United StatesArmy Corps of Engineers, City ofSheboygan, Sheboygan County,Wisconsin Public Service Corpora-tion, Pollution Risk Services(PRS), and Tecumseh Corporation.

The first phase of the cleanup,from August to October, 2004 fo-cused on stopping PCB-soil andground water contamination at theformer Tecumseh facility in She-boygan Falls. The second phasewas completed in 2007, withcleanup of the upper river from theTecumseh site to the WaelderhausDam in Kohler. Dredging of CampMarina in Sheboygan was com-pleted in 2011.

Several projects are currentlyunderway including the LowerRiver Superfund Dredging Projectin the area between the Chicago &Northwestern railroad bridge andthe Pennsylvania Street Bridge inthe City of Sheboygan; the LegacyAct Dredging Project FeasibilityStudy & Design which will lead toadditional dredging in the LowerRiver project area; the US ArmyCorps Dredging Project from the8th Street Bridge east to the She-boygan Harbor. The SheboyganRiver AOC Fish & WildlifeRestoration Projects will also beimplemented in 2012 for shorelinerestoration stabilization, fish andwildlife habitat restoration and as-sessment, Wildwood Islandrestoration, eroding river bank sta-bilization, and invasive speciescontrol in the Sheboygan River.

Total cost of all projects will benearly $100 million, with fundscoming from the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency’s Super-

fund program and its Great LakesLegacy Act through the GreatLakes Restoration Initiative(GLRI) Program. ( At least 35 per-cent of Legacy Act project costsmust come from state, local or pri-vate sponsors). Non-federal fundsare coming from the WisconsinDNR, City of Sheboygan, Sheboy-gan County and Wisconsin PublicService Corporation, who are eachcontributing $100,000. The Cityand County of Sheboygan willneed to contribute an additional$250,000 each. As a major sourceof PCBs in the Sheboygan River,Tecumseh Products and PollutionRisk Services are paying an esti-mated $12.5-$15 million throughits insurance carrier to remove thepollutants.

Some of the sediment will betaken to landfills near Hilbert andWhitelaw, while more heavily pol-luted sediment will be taken tohazardous landfills in Michigan orOklahoma.

The past sev-eral weekshave createdmuch turmoilfor WI, bothat the stateand local lev-els. As Gov-ernor Scott

Walker’s budget bill winds itselfthrough the courts and the legisla-tive process, concerns still remainat the local level. In the end,though, it should be realized thatcommunities will have to respondto the budget as approved by theHouse, the Senate and the Gover-nor. In any case, it can be safelysaid that all of us are ready to bringthe divisive issues to rest and moveon…as the rights and dignities ofall are respected. With the inevitability that com-munities will be receiving lessState aid for their schools, lessshared revenue for communityservices, and a freeze on tax levyincreases, your local governmentsand school boards will experiencesevere limitations on their upcom-ing budgets. It is almost certainthat communities will have totighten their belts as the 2012budgets are put in place. Through all of this, however,the education of our young peoplecannot be abrogated and the youthof today cannot be viewed as ex-pendable commodities. The viablefuture of any nation rests in itsyoung people. Mr. Marty Lex-mond, District Superintendent,definitely walks a “tight rope” inworking with the School Board,the district staff, the students, andthe community while attempting tomaintain the strength of the KohlerSchool District’s overall programs.All of us have our personal beliefsand agendas as to how it should bedone. In the end, though, weshould be unified on one front: thefuture of our nation rests with the

youth of today. My personal bestwishes are extended to Mr. MartyLexmond, School Board PresidentDr. Jane Bishop, and the other fourSchool Board members, and theschool staff as they pull together tooffer the best possible educationalprograms for the youth of our com-munity. The Kohler Civic Club was or-ganized one year ago and meets atnoon on the first and third Thurs-day of each month. Meetings rotatebetween Blackwolf Run Restau-rant and Pine Hills Country Club.In early May, the Village of Kohler2011-12 Directory will be deliv-ered to your homes and/or placesof business. The Club members areworking feverishly on the plans fora Village of Kohler Cemetery Vet-erans’ Memorial. A view of theproposed plans will be forthcom-ing soon; it is anticipated that anarchitectural design will be dis-played at the Kohler Cemetery forthe 2011 annual Memorial Day Pa-rade. Plans include the unveilingof the Veterans’ Memorial at the2012 Memorial Day Parade, whichwould be a highlight for the Vil-lage of Kohler Centennial. If youare interested in becoming a mem-ber of this illustrious club, pleasecontact President Richard Balge(920-694-1918). The Village Centennial Com-mittee continues to meet regularly.We are pleased to welcome CindyHowley, Kohler Co. Representa-tive, to the committee. Cindy is animportant addition, since her inputwill bring to the table the history ofthe Village of Kohler from the per-spective of the Kohler Co. OtherCommittee members are the Vil-lage Board President, Amy Biznek,Tom Leonhardt, Sheryl Lindstrom,and Peter Fetterer. The April 11th Board Meetingwill conclude my eight years as aVillage Board member – includingmy last eight months as “interim

Board President.” A personal voidis still felt with the untimely deathof Steve Reinbacher. Sincere con-dolences continue to be with AnnReinbacher and her family. During these eight years, I havehad the privilege of serving on theBoard in several different capaci-ties. My primary role for severalyears was Chairperson of the Prop-erty Committee. In looking back,several projects were completedduring that time. Among thosewere the new roof on Kohler Me-morial Hall Building, constructionof the Village Children’s Swim-ming Pool, and the Lost WoodsPark Pavilion. Included are the up-keep and replacement of severalstreets – including School Street,renovation of Kohler MemorialHall/Theatre/Gym, extension ofsewer/water line on WoodlandRoad, and the list goes on.

Looking back . . .Kohler’s first lifeguardsNeil F. Payne

The Kohler swimming pool wasbuilt in 1956 and opened 6 January1957. No lifeguards were availablefrom Kohler, so the Kohler HighSchool coach and athletic director,Leroy (Andy) Anderson, contactedthe local Red Cross to learn whohad completed their life-savingswimming program recently. Helearned that only my brotherGlenn, my close friend Sam Lev,and I had done so. Glenn was asophomore and Sam and I seniorsat Sheboygan Falls High School.Andy had been a coach and teacherat Falls, and we knew each other.Sam’s father worked at Kohler andGlenn’s and my father used towork there.

The three of us, and a girl fromSheboygan, were absolutelythrilled to be hired for $2.50/houras the first lifeguards of the glam-orous brand new state-of-the-artKohler pool. It was pleasant ob-serving Kohler residents file in forthe first time, wading through thefoot bath, awestruck at their gor-geous new pool. Underwaterlights, one-meter and three-meterdiving boards, large sliding doorsthat opened to the outside—headystuff for young folks like us. Wefelt fortunate and privileged, tookour job seriously, and were consci-entious and good at it. We hadsome prestige. We also were stand-ing on the pool deck watching allthe girls go by (humming the oldFour Lads song).

We had the privilege of swim-ming before and after residentscould swim, and could bringfriends during regular hours whenwe weren’t on duty. Off duty wetaught ourselves some fancy dives,mostly from the one-meter boardbut some from the three-meterboard: jackknife, jackknife with ahalf twist, forward one-and-a-half,half gainer with a half twist, fullgainer with a full twist. I trainedmyself to swim underwater two

and a half lengths of the pool. Wegave swimming lessons to kids onSaturday mornings.

The job lasted only a fewmonths, to the end of the schoolyear, until people from Kohlerwere trained. Out of a job, thatsummer I washed windows for$1.00/hour in Kohler, Sheboygan,and Sheboygan Falls forKretschmer’s Clean Window Serv-ice, to earn money for college. Butwe were grateful and proud to havebeen the first lifeguards for theKohler swimming pool.

Epilogue: Sam Lev, married, 3kids, 3 grandkids, flew combatmissions in Vietnam with the Navyand is now a retired pilot withNorthwest Airlines, living in Shel-ton, Washington. Glenn Payne,

married, 2 kids, 4 grandkids, wasin the Army in Germany and isnow retired from the U.S. PostalService, living in College Station,Texas. Neil Payne, married, 3 kids,3 stepkids, 9 grandkids, saw com-bat in Vietnam with the MarineCorps and is now an author and re-tired professor of wildlife with theUniversity of Wisconsin-StevensPoint, living in Plover, WI, Daven-port, FL, and Campbellton, New-foundland and Labrador where hehad been a wildlife biologist. Allthree remain close friends. Neil’sson Adam Payne is the county ad-ministrator for Sheboygan County.Neil Payne retired from the Uni-versity of Wisconsin-Stevens Pointin 1998 and currently resides inFlorida where he continues to

write and publish books as ahobby. He has three children:Adam, who is currently the She-boygan County Administrator,Mark, a park ranger in Bay BeachWildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay,and Erin of Madison, former vicepresident of the firm that built BlueHarbor Resort in Sheboygan. Neilplans to return to Wisconsin afterNeil’s mother, age 96, still lives inthe area.

They arerelatively new team, having onlybeen started in 2009, but havecome a long way. The season startsin early August and lasts until midNovember. The girls swim hard atpractice and swim about thirteenhours a week, not including meets.“We’ve really come a long wayand with the help of the commu-nity we can go even further”, said

Erin Lammers. We have a greatteam atmosphere and we have funtogether. The team motto is “Atti-tude is everything” and it certainlyshows in the team. The girls are al-ways ready to do anything pre-sented to them at practice or a meetand the whole team is down at theend of the pool cheering the swim-mers on. The girls came in secondin Conference this year, only be-hind Plymouth. They also came in9th of 12 swimming Div. 1 at sec-tionals. The team is looking for-ward to another great season andhopes to host some meets in the fu-ture.

“Attitude is everything” forgirls swim team

The Kohler High Soccer Boy’sSoccer team was recently awardedthe National Soccer Coaches Asso-ciation of America (NSCAA) Aca-demic Award.

To earn the honor, teams musthave a minimum grade-point aver-age of 3.25 for the entire academicschool year. A total of 386 teams(144 boys, 242 girls) claimed theaward for the 2009-10 school year,including six boys teams and 11girls sides from Wisconsin.

Soccer program’s successextends beyond high school

Everyone in the village is awareof the success of the boys highschool soccer program. The BlueBomber boys have racked up manyawards over the past five years in-cluding three conference champi-onships, five regional champion-ships, a sectional championshipand state runner up last year. Whatyou may not know is that severalplayers have taken their highschool experience and successwith them into college. Currentlythere are four soccer alumni play-ing college ball:

AJ Armstrong (Class of 2007)plays defender for WisconsinLutheran College. He was a teamcaptain and key player when theBlue Bombers went an undefeated14-0 to win the Central LakeshoreConference (CLC) in 2007.

Kevin Beine (Class of 2009)plays for St. Norbert’s College. Hewas a team captain and secondteam All Conference defender forKohler in last year’s run to state.

Jimmy Mani (Class of 2007)plays for UW Sheboygan and wasrecently named 2nd team All Con-

ference in the Wisconsin Colle-giate Conference. Jimmy was theCLC leading scorer in 2007 for theBombers. He also received 1stteam All Conference and All State(Honorable Mention) honors.

Austin Van Treeck (Class of2009) plays for Ripon College andhas two goals and an assist in hisfirst year playing college ball.Austin was the conference leadingscorer last year and an All Confer-ence selection for the BlueBombers.

Austin recently sat down tofeild some questions about his col-lege experience so far:

What is it like to play soccer atthe college level?

“Playing soccer at the collegelevel is everything I dreamed itwould be and more. It is a lot morephysical and the amount of timeand effort put into it becomes yourlifestyle.”

What was the biggest differencefrom high school?

“I would say the biggest differ-ence between high school soccerand college soccer is the overall

pace of the game. You need to an-ticipate your next move and youropponent’s moves even more thanin high school.”

Did you feel well preparedwhen you went out for the team?

“When I arrived at our first dayof practice I felt lost and out ofsync. It took some time to transi-tion and get used to the speed ofplay. Also my conditioning needmuch improvement.”

I see you were moved from for-ward to midfielder/defender. Howwas that transition?

“Yes, my first time on the fieldin a game I played outside mid-fielder. I was just told to work hardand run until I couldn't anymore.The transition was brutal but gaveme a better perception of what ittook to play that position and whatplayers had done in that position inorder to get the ball up to the for-wards.”

What was it like to score yourfirst college goal?

“My first college goal was in-credible. It was an overtime gamewinning shot from about 30 yards.

I actually didn’t' get to see it be-cause I was immediately knockedover after I took the shot. It wasnot a realistic first goal but eitherway it felt incredible to have a goaland know that I did something tobenefit the team.”

What advice would you give tokids in the village dreaming aboutplaying college soccer?

“To all those who dream of thechance to play college soccer oreven those who want to play highschool soccer, my advice to themis keep working hard consistentlyand don't let anyone tell you are in-adequate and you won't make it. Ifyou give it your all you will behappy with the outcome.”

Kohler Blue Bombers do it again -state champions in 1999By Bruce Erickson

It would be 16 years before theKohler boys basketball teamwould return to the State Tourna-ment in Madison. Over those 16years Kohler had made it to thesectionals in 1993, 1994, and 1996only to be taken out by perennialpower house, Randolph. There hadbeen some significant changes inhigh school basketball and in tour-nament format over those years.The three point play was added inthe early nineties, and beginning in1990, there were four divisionscompeting for the championshipinstead of the previous three. TheState tournament was moved to theKohl Center in 1998, and fifteenplayers were now allowed to makeup the tournament roster. Privatehigh schools were still playing intheir own tournament.

The Kohler Blue Bombers inthe 1999 championship year werecoached by Jeff Wolf. He was inhis sixth year of coaching Kohler.Jeff had starred on the 1976 Kohlerstate tournament team.

Coach Wolf was looking for-ward to the 1998-99 season withgreat anticipation. He had all hisreturning players from a team thatfinished 14-9, won its last sixgames of the season and tookeventual state champion Randolphto overtime in the regional finals.

Letter winners from the previ-ous year were Casey Maki, DannyRobbins, Greg Gottsaker, MarkSchumacher, Greg Pierce, KevinJensen, Lee Haugen, Zach Pethan,and Mike Reilly. Other playersadding to a strong bench wereChris Adkins, Tim Gumm, TobiGopon, Paul Gordon, DavidCampbell, and Aaron Nonhof.Kohler was a tall and talented teamwith all starters over six feet tallwith sophomore center ZachPethan at 6' 5''.

Kohler opened the season on atough note dropping a non-confer-ence game to Sheboygan Lutheran.Lutheran tied the game with abuzzer beating three point shot thatsent the game into overtime.Kohler had two easy wins overCedar Grove and Brillion beforethey headed into their match withOostburg. Oostburg was gunningfor its 41st conference win in arow. It was a tough battle but Oost-burg came out on top 61-57. An in-teresting follow-up to that game isthat Oostburg had their streak bro-ken a week later by Cedar Grovewho had lost 26 games in a row.Kohler at one time had 27 confer-ence wins in a row.

Kohler righted themselves andwould win their next five confer-ence games before they had theirrematch with Oostburg. This timethey lost the season series by ascore of 50-42. Along the way theylost two non-conference games toSt. Mary’s Springs and New Hol-stein. With a conference record of9-2 they would go into the lastweekend of the season with achance at a tie for the conferencechampionship. They needed a win

at Ozaukee. Kohler lost by a scoreof 51-41 and finished the regularseason with a record of 13 and 7.

Coach Wolf had a difficult taskof getting his team up for the tour-nament. They had lost their lasttwo games of the season and nodoubt their spirits were down. Thecoach did a great job of turningthings around and the Kohler BlueBombers made a fantastic run tothe State Championship.

Kohler opened their tourney runwith a home game against Oak-field. They won going away by ascore of 75-44. Fifteen playerswere in the game for Kohler andeleven of them scored. Next upwould be a game with Green Lakeplayed at Hilbert. It was a onepoint game at half-time but Kohlerpulled away to win 48-36. CodyMaki scored 16 points with 10boards and Zach Pethan added 10points and 8 rebounds.

Kohler would face Princeton inthe regional finals. Pete Barth ofthe Sheboygan Press described theBlue Bomber team the best whenhe reported “Coach Jeff Wolf canonly start five players but minutesafter tip off the line betweenstarters and his reserves can be-come blurred in a hurry. When theBombers are on their game, theycome in waves of blue, substitut-ing throughout and hardly missinga beat.” This strategy worked toperfection as Kohler rolled overPrinceton 67-40 to move on to thesectionals.

For years the sectional tourna-ment was held in West Bend andthe games were played there fortwo nights. In 1999 things hadchanged and Kohler was in forsome long bus rides. The first sec-tional game was played at Water-town and their opponent would beFall River. After a tight first quar-ter where Kohler held a 11-10 leadthe Blue Bombers lived up to theirname as they hit a barrage of threepointers in the 2nd and 3rd quar-ters to earn a convincing win 71-50. Casey Maki ended up with 16points which included 3 threepointers, Lee Haugen 10 pointswhich included 2 three pointers.Next it was a long bus ride toJanesville to take on Pecatonica forthe right to go to Madison.

Pecatonica came into the gamewith an impressive 19-5 record andwas a tall team. Pete Barth of theSheboygan Press described theKohler performance. “Cohesive,balanced, patient, and poised. Oh,and tack one more complimentarydescription to the collective backsof the team: state bound.” Kohlerstunned Pecatonica with a 14-2second quarter run that gave thema 31-14 half-time lead.

Pecatonica cut the lead to 47-43with two minutes to play butKohler made 10 of 14 free throwsdown the stretch to win the game58-46. Greg Pierce had an out-standing first half and Greg Gott-sacker a fine second. Again it wasbalance scoring with Zach Pethan,Mark Schumacher and Greg Gott-

sacker ending with double digitscoring. Kohler was returning toMadison for the first time in 16years.

Kohler would play Prentice inthe first game. They were a teamthat had a perfect 25-0 record andhad won most of their games bywide margins. Kohler got off to a20-10 lead with Casey Makicalmly hitting on 3 three point bas-kets. But Kohler only led at half-time 30-26. The third quarter waslow scoring and Kohler clung to aone point lead 36-35. The gamecame down to the wire as the gamewas tied at 38 with five minutes togo. Kohler played some outstand-ing defense and outscored Prentice17-4 the rest of the way for a 55-42 win. Keys to the game: CodyMaki with 17 points and great de-fense on Prentice’s Kyle Lordholding the star to 12 points. GregPierce who is holding Prentice starNikki Heikkinen to a 0-9 shootingin the first half. Greg also pulleddown 9 rebounds. Lee Haugen wasoutstanding off the bench withsome key shooting and passing. Heended up with 11 points. D a nRobbins with his clutch free-throwshooting and Mark Schumacherwith a stellar rebounding gameaided in the victory. Now it was onto play Cassville for the champi-onship.

Cassville came into the finalgame with a 19-5 record. They hada tall front line of 6-4,6-5 and 6-6players. They also had a greatshooting guard in Clint Nemitz.Kohler used a pressing zone de-fense the whole game and forced 9first half turnovers. The amazingthing about Kohler’s defense isthey were not fouling. Cassvilleonly got to the free throw line 2times the entire game. Kohlerstarted out with some hot shootingwhich included 3 first half threepointers by Casey Maki. Two longrange bombs by Cassville kept thegame close at half time 30-25.Kohler used just seven players forthe game and all were contributors

in the victory. Sophomore ZachPethan had played only 10 minutesagainst Prentice but on this day hewould have the game of his life.He scored 18 points on 7 for 10from the field and added 6 re-bounds. Casey Maki had his usualstellar game adding 17 points. DanRobbins ran the show from thepoint position and hit all three ofhis shots which included 2 threepointers. Greg Pierce was a demonon defense and added some greatrebounding against the tallCassville team. Mark Schumacherand Lee Haugen filled their roleswith fine defense and adding keybaskets. And then there was “Mr.Clutch” Greg Gottsacker whocalmly dropped in 5 free throws inthe last minute to put the gameaway 61-55. Kohler took the leadafter the first 4 minutes and neverlost it. Cassville stayed in the gamewith some long range shootingwhich include 5 three pointers byNemitz. Kohler broke a Division 4record with 60 % shooting fromthe field.

As the final horn sounded theKohler team erupted in celebra-tion. They jumped and hugged andgave the number one sign to theKohl Center crowd. The Kohlerfans in their blue and white were ina frenzy. Minutes later Coach JeffWolf was awarded the gold trophyand lifted it to the Kohler fans. Hegave it to his team and they re-peated showing it to their loyal fol-lowing resulting in even loudercheering.

The next day the team had theirhonorary breakfast with the gover-nor and then it was on to Kohlerfor their triumphant return. Theteam was met at highway Y by twofire trucks and many cars bearingballoons, streamers, and GoBomber signs. They guided theteam through the village passingcheering on-lookers. This was fol-lowed by a huge pep-rally in thegym. The gold ball was back homeagain.

I would like to thank Joyce and

John Pethan for sharing their won-derful scrapbook and the dvds ofthe games in Madison.

Basketball History-An Epilogue By Bruce Erickson

In 2010 I thought it would beinteresting to document the firsttime Kohler High School earnedits way to the state tournament in1950. Two years and nine articleslater I have written about the en-tire basketball history of Kolher’strips to Madison. I hope the read-ers enjoyed reminiscing as muchas I did. Kohler High School hasfielded basketball teams since1929. It is important to rememberthat in these 84 years there havebeen many outstanding teamsand players that never got theprivilege of going to state.

In reviewing my notes I no-ticed that I had neglected the fineassistant coaches that helped theteams in their earning their wayto state. Glen Funk in 1950 and56,Ted Frostman in 1972 and 76,Larry Kampman in 1980, 82, 83,and 99. Ken Roeder also assistedin 1999. Gary Dietzo assisted thegirls in 1982. Also over the yearsKohler has been fortunate to havemany volunteer coaches for play-ers at the younger levels.

There is no doubt in my mindthat the boys and girls teams willonce again ake it to the state tour-nament. It takes dedication on thefuture players part with much in-dividual work during the off sea-son. The old adage basketballplayers are developed in the sum-mer and teams during the seasonstill holds true. Practice in shoot-ing is most important and pick upgames when the chance arises re-ally helps build basketball skills.One more word of advice for allthe young players in Kohler:GROW!
