Rutten, Kohler Police Chief As of this writing, there are about three weeks to go before Blackwolf Run and the Village of Kohler becomes the host of the US Women’s Open. The Kohler Police Department has been involved in planning for this event for well over a year, in the hopes that all the behind the scenes activities go smoothly. As many of you are aware, there were some issues dur- ing the last USWO in 1998. This article will hopefully inform you and help make the whole event as successful as possible. To assist in the planning and operations of the event, the Kohler PD has teamed up with the Wis- consin State Patrol, the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Dept., the She- boygan County Emergency Man- agement Director and many on course volunteers for players’ se- curity. In addition to manpower, the Village of Kohler is being as- sisted by reimbursement for these expenses by the State of Wiscon- sin’s tourism fund. This golf event is on the worldwide stage due to the large contingency of foreign players that now are on the women’s tour. We expect that everything will go as smoothly as possible due to the amount of plan- ning and the coordination of ef- forts. One of the main purposes of this article is to make the Village of Kohler citizens aware of some of these efforts to make the golf event and life as we know it coex- ist during the tournament sched- uled for July 2-8, 2012. Each day of the tournament is projected to bring in up to 13,000-15,000 spec- tators, most arriving between 7 am and 10 am. The primary route for those fans will be southbound into the Village on CTH Y where they will be directed into the main lots of the Kohler Co. on Twin Oaks Rd (by the Medallion). There will be some lane deviations put into place to make the traffic flow off of I43 and STH 23 the most effi- ciently. During the ingress of traf- fic, the ramp for westbound STH 23 from CTH Y will be closed. The traffic flow during egress hopefully will not affect the Vil- lage as much. Egress times are harder to predict based upon weather and length of play. All the normal ramps and exits will be open after the peak ingress is done. Avoiding Highland Dr during the peak ingress and egress times is probably the best way to keep from getting delayed. We will be having preferred parking traffic that will be parking near the course in designated lots. We are marking the entrances to the subdivisions as “No Event Parking” along Highland Dr and along CTH PP. There will be no parking in the South I subdivision (south of CTH PP) for anyone un- less they have a “Resident” hang tag. Vehicles without the hang tags will be ticketed. Those tags were made only available to those resi- dents that live in that subdivision due to shared driveways, etc. We are encouraging no parking on the roads, but understand the neces- sity. We are asking the cooperation of the Village residents not to park in the area of South I and cause other violations to occur by spec- tators thinking they can park close and walk in. The Kohler Co/USGA has worked diligently to get the ap- propriate number of shuttles to make the transportation of the spectators an efficient process. To that end, I have worked with the planners to make the spectators that reside in the Village have an alternate way of getting to the event. To keep the traffic plan the safest for all, I wanted to limit the number of pedestrians walking to the event. Therefore, there will be a trolley that will be running from the Blackwolf Run entrance to a pickup point along School St. by the entrance of the Youth Center. This trolley will be free to resi- dents and will be at least every 30 minutes on the hour/half hour. The hours of operation are still in flux, but will be posted at the pickup point. In addition to the traffic and parking plans, there are two re- strictions to roadways. The road to the golf course on W. Riverside is closed to normal traffic south of the Waelderhaus, and the road from CTH PP that runs along the river to the Waelderhaus Dam is also closed. The Kohler Police Department is in charge of all the law enforce- ment efforts that are taking place during the event. We will have commanders from the State Patrol and Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Dept. working with us in the com- mand post and on our roadways during the entire event. If you have any issues, the same process of contacting the department is in place, either in person at the police department or by calling 459- 3877. I hope you enjoy the golf tour- nament and all the extra events that are also planned to coincide with the tournament! For the second time in two years, the Kohler School District will be in search of a superinten- dent after Martin Lexmond was chosen by the Shorewood School Board to fill its vacancy. Lex- mond is expected to begin the job July 1. The School Board released a letter assuring parents that as a proactive step, the board posted the combined position of Superinten- dent/High School Principal on the WECAN and WASDA websites. “Given the work over the past two years that Marty, the teachers, stu- dents, community and board have accomplished, the school is well positioned to attract a candidate to continue leading the strategic plan with the strong teaching staff and new elementary principal we have in place,” said the letter. “We are proud that our students have em- braced new opportunities like Ad- visory, Challenge Day, and the Kind Campaign. These initiatives have contributed to the growing school spirit and supportive culture while our students continue their focus on academics and extracur- ricular activities. We all look for- ward to a candidate who will or who has put down roots in this community. We will keep you in- formed as the process continues.” The Kohler School Board se- lected Lori Neurohr as the next principal for the Kohler Elemen- tary and Middle School. “Lori is a well-known and respected teacher in Kohler Elementary School with the experience, passion, and com- mitment to be our next great prin- cipal,” said outgoing Kohler Schools Superintendent Marty Lexmond. Neurohr currently teaches fourth grade and since joining Kohler Schools in 2000, has taught second grade and a second/third grade split class.

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. Sincerethanks are extended to Bruce Neer-hof, DPW Superintendent, withwhom I worked closely for ad-dressing the property agendas forthe Village; Laurie Lindow, VillageClerk/Treasurer; and Cindi Gamb,Deputy Clerk/Treasurer. Also, itwas an honor to serve with pastPresidents Oscar Ward andThomas Leonhardt. My best of wishes are extendedto your anticipated new BoardPresident, Thomas Schnettler, andthe successful three of the fourcandidates for trustee positions:Thomas Gast, William Kunst,Brian Post, and Dietmar Wohlge-muth. Again, thanks to all who havemade my position on the boardpossible and to those with whom Ihave worked. It has been an honorin having served on the Kohler Vil-lage Board!!!

Best of wishes…
