Citizen opinion survey to go out to all
Village residents and businesses
By Kevin Struck, UW-Extension
The Village of Kohler, working in con-
junction with Sheboygan County UW-
Extension, will be mailing a multi-page cit-
izen opinion survey to every household and
business within the Village limits in mid-
May. The purpose of the survey is to help
local officials and community planners
gather information from residents that will
help the writers of the Villages new com-
prehensive (master) plan focus on areas of
concern and make appropriate recommen-
dations.
Input from residents is important as
we go through the planning process, said
Village President Tom Leonhardt.
Typically, such opinion surveys cost
$3,000 to $5,000 when done by a consult-
ing firm, but by working with UW-
Extension, the Village will be able to com-
plete the process for about $900.
Weve done these surveys in 20 of the
28 municipalities within Sheboygan County
over the years, and the feedback from local
officials on the value of the information
gathered has always been extremely posi-
tive. In fact, several communities that first
did surveys in the early 1990s have asked
us to do a second generation of surveys,
said David Such, Community Development
Educator for the County UW-Extension
office. Past opinion surveys in other area
communities have generated a 20-40%
response rate, which is considered an
excellent sample of community opinion.
In March and April, Such worked with
the Village Plan Commission and Long-
Range Strategic Plan Committee to identi-
fy current and future issues facing the
Village. These issues (see sidebar) were
then prioritized, categorized, and eventual-
ly turned into questions for the survey.
The County UW-Extension office will
create the survey document, mail the sur-
vey, tabulate the results, prepare a report
for the Village Board, Plan Commission,
and Long-Range Strategic Plan
Committee, and work with the Villages
planning consultant to integrate the find-
ings into the new comprehensive plan
being prepared for the Village. An effort
will also be made to share the results with
Village residents, most likely through
future articles in The Kohler Villager.
Results are expected to be available in late
June.
For tracking purposes, this is a one per
household survey, therefore making photo-
copies of the survey is discouraged. If for
some reason your household or business
does not receive a survey by May 17, you
may contact Laurie Lindow, Village Clerk,
for a copy.
Issues of Concern
A total of 31 issues were identified
and prioritized at the March 23
rd
meeting of the Plan Commission
and Long-Range Strategic Plan
Committee. Below are the top 10.
Tie 1 Need for senior citizen
housing
1 Capital expenditures (street
improvements, buildings)
3 New housing development
Tie 4 Stormwater management
4 Declining enrollment in
village schools
6 Rising energy costs
7 Number of houses being
converted to rentals
8 Municipal services:
additions/improvements?
9 Need for a property
maintenance ordinance
10 Growing the village through
annexation, especially to the
south
Kohler/Sheboygan Municipal Court
scheduled to begin first of May
After several months of preparation by
the Village of Kohler and City of
Sheboygan, the new Joint Municipal Court
is scheduled to begin May 1
st
.
Kohler had sought to create a Joint
Municipal Court in the past with
Sheboygan Falls, but one of the require-
ments for establishing a municipal court
was the judge had to reside within the
courts jurisdiction. Finding a resident who
was qualified to preside over such a court
was unsuccessful, until a qualified candi-
date, Katherine Delahunt, moved into the
Village of Kohler. Delahunt was chosen
from among four candidates and appointed
to the position in February by the mayor of
Sheboygan and the City Council. Her term
will run until April, 2007, after which the
position will be an elected one decided by
Sheboygan and Kohler voters.
According to Kohler Police Chief Bill
Rutten, the court will be held in the City of
Sheboygan council chambers and will han-
dle all ordinance violations, such as under-
age consumption, traffic offenses, shoplift-
ing and other theft complaints, etc. The
court will only have jurisdiction over ordi-
nance violations, however. All criminal
violations will be referred to the
Sheboygan County District Attorneys
office.
Kohler residents and visitors will see
the benefits of the Joint Municipal Court in
lower fine costs on citations.
According to Chief Rutten, the
typical citation will cost approx-
imately $77 less than the same
citation currently processed
through the circuit court sys-
tem. Thats because the Joint
Municipal Court eliminates
the higher circuit court
costs, as well as various
other expenses that were
tacked on by the State of
Wisconsin. The Village of
Kohler will also be able to
keep some of the rev-

enue generated from the Joint Municipal
Court if operating expenses dont out-
pace revenues.
Judge Delahunt has done a lot
of work to make this change a
seamless transition, said Chief
Rutten. It is our hope to be able
to provide an as good as, or
better than, process for the
village and city residents
with all the benefits to
the communities.

Creek in village eyed
for protection
The Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources has been taking samples of fish
populations in Willow Creek at sites in the
Village of Kohler and City of Sheboygan
since 2002 and has found juvenile Coho
salmon, brook trout, and rainbow trout at
the latter site. These fish appear to be
reproducing in Willow Creek, which is very
rare for a coldwater stream in an urbanized
area, said Shannon Haydin, president of
the Sheboygan River Basin Partnership,
which is a local citizens group whose
objective is to improve the water quality of
the Sheboygan River and its tributaries. The
Partnership is pursuing county, state, and
federal grants to create and implement a
restoration plan for Willow Creek that
would help protect the fragile stream
ecosystem.
A representative of the Partnership, Jon
Gumtow, was on hand at the April 6 Village
Plan Commission meeting to present infor-
mation about Willow Creek and the
Partnership's efforts. The creek originates
near State Highways 23 and 32, where it
meanders east through the Town of
Sheboygan Falls crossing Woodland Road
and continuing along the northern part of
the Village of Kohler. It then passes under
Interstate 43 and into the Town of
Sheboygan, where it parallels County Road
PP before bending south and completing its
five mile course to the Sheboygan River.
According to John Masterson, DNR
Water Quality Biologist, streams like
Willow Creek can be enhanced through
best management practices that include
limiting the filling of wetlands, minimizing
warm water and stormwater discharges into
the stream channel, and using vegetative
buffer strips to keep fertilizers and soil sed-
iments from running off adjacent lands and
into the stream. Masterson, who was
involved in the sampling efforts, said It
was surprising and encouraging to see
these fish spawning in an urban stream in
Sheboygan County.
Additional studies are ongoing and pro-
posed for the creek, and anyone interested
in becoming involved as a volunteer in this
project may contact The Sheboygan River
Basin Partnership at srbp@excel.net.

Suspected case of
mumps in Sheboygan
Fifteen confirmed cases in Wisconsin
A mumps outbreak in Iowa has
spread to eight neighboring states,
including Wisconsin. As of April 21,
there are fifteen confirmed cases in
Wisconsin with a suspect case in the
Sheboygan area.
The Sheboygan County Division of
Public Health wants families to be
aware of the symptoms of mumps and
how the disease is spread. Mumps is a
viral infection and is spread through
the air by sneezing, coughing or sim-
ply talking. It may also be spread by
sharing utensils that have been in con-
tact with saliva. The most common and
obvious sign of infection is swelling in
the cheek and jaw area. Other symp-
toms may include headache, fever, and
generalized body pain. In rare
instances, mumps can have serious
side effects including hearing loss and
meningitis.
It usually takes two to three weeks
for symptoms to appear after a person
has been exposed to mumps. Those
suspected of having mumps should not
go to school, day care, or work and
should contact their health care
provider for testing. Isolation needs to
continue until testing has ruled out
mumps or for nine days after symp-
toms first appear.
The main strategy to prevent the
spread of mumps is vaccination. Two
doses of mumps containing vaccine are
recommended for all students. Mumps
vaccine in combination with measles
and rubella (MMR) is usually given in
two doses, at 12-15 months and 4-6
years.
School immunization laws do
require two doses of mumps contain-
ing vaccine or a signed waiver by the
parent or a healthcare provider. In the
event of a mumps outbreak in
Sheboygan County, children who do
not proof of having received two doses
of mumps containing vaccine, includ-
ing those with signed waivers, may
need to be excluded from school or
public events until the risk of transmis-
sion has been minimized.
Vaccine is available at private med-
ical offices as well as the local health
department.
Questions concerning mumps or
any other communicable disease may
be directed to Sheboygan County
Division of Public Health at 459-4382.
More information on mumps is avail-
able on the Wisconsin immunization
web site at www.dhfs.state.wi.us/immu-
nization/.

The Kohler Police Department is currently
staffed by 7 full-time, and 3 part-time law
enforcement officers. Each month, an officer
will be featured in this section.
Officer Jeffrey Sass
Officer Sass was born and raised in the
Bay Area of northern California. After
graduating high school, he attended a tech-
nical college, where he received an
Associates of Science Degree in
Multimedia Communications. He worked
in various fields, including Aerospace
before joining the San Jose Police
Department in May of 1998. He attended a
San Jose specific police academy and grad-
uated in October 1998. Since then, he has
worked primarily as a patrol officer. While
at San Jose Police Department, he received
continual training on first-aid, anti-terror-
ism, active-shooter scenarios, and tactical
entries. He is accustomed to interacting
with a very diverse community and han-
dling a very wide range of calls for service.
He was one of a select number of officers
who had specialized training with the slug
shotgun.
He moved to the Sheboygan area with
his family in August of 2005 and was
sworn in as a full-time patrol officer with
the Kohler Police Department on
September 22, 2005. His wife, who is also
a police officer, started with the City of
Sheboygan as a patrol officer in August of
2005. They moved to the area to be near
family and are getting accustomed to the
change in climate.
Officer Sass enjoys spending his time
off with his family.

In October, 2005 Rev. Thomas Schroeder
of Grace United Church of Christ announced
his intent to take a sabbatical in 2006. His
announcement was made official after mem-
bers of the church voted on the matter in late
October.
In a phone interview conducted in Octo-
ber, Schroeder stated that the idea of a sab-
batical goes back to the biblical idea of the
Sabbath and the seventh day of rest. He
stated that his planned leave of absence will
be a welcome opportunity to reinvigorate his
spirit and increase his knowledge.
Schroeders sabbatical will begin on May
1. During the first two weeks of his leave of
absence, Schroeder will spend some much-
needed time with his wife and with his son,
who currently attends college in Boston.
On May 14, Schroeder will fly to Ireland
to begin his first of two tours through Eu-
rope. In my mind, Ireland was monumen-
tal in the preserving of Christianity,
Schroeder stated in an earlier interview.
Schroeder plans to spend two weeks in Ire-
land, during which time he plans to see the
Book of Kells, which he describes as an
illuminated copy of the Bible put together
by the monks. The ancient manuscript,
which contains numerous fanciful illustra-
tions, is kept at Trinity College of Dublin
and stands as an important testament to the
work of early Irish monks.
Following his stay in Dublin, Schroeder
plans to visit the ancient ruins at Knowth and
Newgrange. Schroeder stated that these
ruins are interesting because they contain
burial mounds that are older than Stone-
henge. According to Schroeder, the burial
mounds date back to 3200 BC.
Following his stay in Ireland, Schroeder
plans to visit Scotland and travel to the Isle
of Iona. While there, he plans to spend a
week visiting several ancient monasteries
throughout Scotland and England.
After his three-week visit in Ireland and
Scotland, Schroeder will return to the She-
boygan area for two weeks before departing
again for a second European tour. His first
stop will be in Greece, where he will spend
several days in Athens before heading to the
Greek island of Patmos. It was on this island
that the Book of Revelation is said to have
been written. If time permits, Schroeder
would also like to visit Delphi, although this
is yet to be determined.
After his trip to Greece, Schroeder will
make one final stop in Turkey, where he
plans to visit Ephesus, the city to which the
apostle Paul wrote the Book of Ephesians.
Following his stay in Ephesus, Schroeder
will make one final trip to the Cappadocia
region of Turkey. While there, Schroeder
will visit several churches to which the Book
of Revelation was written.
Regarding the cost of the expedition,
Schroeder said Im hoping that the cost of
the whole sabbatical wont exceed $15,000.
However, the cost should not alarm church
members; Schroeder maintained that he and
several sponsors will be solely responsible
for the cost of the trip. The people of Grace
Church will not be financially burdened,
Schroeder said.
Schroeders sabbatical will begin on May
1 and will officially end on August 1. Dur-
ing his absence, Dr. Timothy Fulop, the Aca-
demic Dean at Lakeland College and the fa-
ther of two children attending Kohler
schools, will occupy the church and carry
out Schroeders usual duties.
According to Schroeder, the mem-
bers of Grace Church have been over-
whelmingly positive regarding his sab-
batical. He stated that he has received
much support from the community and
that everyone seems comfortable with
his three-month sabbatical. Schroeder
further stipulates that his leave of ab-
sence is in no way a harbinger of retire-
ment. In a recent phone interview,
Schroeder stated that he plans to return
to the church for several more years fol-
lowing his sabbatical. Im not old
enough to retire, he stated.

At one time or another, you probably
wished you could increase your investments -
if only you had the money. And it's certainly
true that investing can be expensive. Howev-
er, you might be able to get "more bang for
your buck" - and, over time, significantly in-
crease your holdings - by buying shares of div-
idend paying stocks and reinvesting the divi-
dends into the same stocks.
To follow this strategy, of course, you have
to find stocks that regularly pay dividends.
Fortunately, by doing a little research, you can
indeed locate companies that have long histo-
ries of not only paying, but also increasing,
their dividends. (Keep in mind, though, that
stocks are not fixed-income vehicles, and div-
idends can be increased, decreased or totally
eliminated at any point without notice, no mat-
ter how good their track record has been.)
If you are interested in reinvesting divi-
dends, you might want to look for companies
that offer automatic dividend reinvestment
plans, also known as DRIPs. And you don't
have to receive enormous dividends to partic-
ipate, either; many DRIPs allow you to send in
as little as $10 to $50 at a time to buy addition-
al shares of stock.
The biggest benefit of DRIPs, of course, is
the ability they give you to increase the shares
of stock you own. But you'll find other advan-
tages, too. Here are a couple to consider:
Investment discipline
To be a successful investor, you need the
discipline to continuously invest, month after
month, year after year, in good markets and
bad. Many people lack this discipline and take
a "time out" from investing until they feel they
can really afford it. But, as you know, we can
all find other ways to spend money, and in-
vesting often ranks tossed aside for what ap-
Financial Focus
Expand Your Stock Ownership...DRIP by DRIP
pear to be more pressing needs. However, by
taking part in DRIPs, you will invest steadily,
and with virtually no effort on your part. And
since you never received the dividend checks
in the first place, you won't really "miss" the
money. Remember, though, that a systematic
investment plan does not guarantee a profit
and does not protect against loss in declining
markets. It involves continuous investment in
the security regardless of the price of the se-
curity. You should continue your ability to in-
vest through periods of low price levels.
Tax benefits
Until the laws changed a few years ago,
dividends were taxed at your current income
tax rate. Now however, dividends are taxed at
a maximum rate of 15 percent. (This rate is set
to expire at the end of 2008, barring congres-
sional action.) But even this new, relatively low
rate can lead to a hefty tax bill for you if you re-
ceive a great deal of dividends. Consequently,
if you participate in several DRIPs, you might
want to keep some of your stocks in a tax-de-
ferred vehicle, such as an IRA.
DRIPs for the Long Run
Ideally, to use a DRIP, you want to find
stocks that offer attractive current yields and
growth potential, and you want to keep adding
shares of these stocks for a long time. Fortu-
nately, you should not find the task too hard,
because the companies that regularly in-
crease dividends are generally high-quality
businesses that actively try to reward their in-
vestors.
So, work with a financial professional to
identify these stocks and then turn on the
faucet and let the DRIPs begin.

As summer approaches and high school
seniors prepare to graduate, a younger group
of high school students prepare themselves for
the biggest test of their academic careersthe
ACT.
History of the ACT
The American College Testing Program,
first developed in 1959, is an important educa-
tional organization designed to help high
school students bridge the gap between high
school and college. At the time of its found-
ing, the organization was aimed at helping a
booming population of college-age Americans
make decisions on which colleges to attend
and at helping colleges determine the best stu-
dent candidates.
Since its development in 1959, the Ameri-
can College Testing Program, known today as
the ACT, has continued to expand and grow
along with the academic and educational
needs of the nation. Today, the organization
offers much more than just a single examina-
tion program; it offers more than 100 separate
programs and services to individuals and insti-
tutions around the world.
The ACT examination itself consists of four
main categories: English; mathematics; read-
ing; and science. Recently, a writing category
was added to the exam, but test-takers are not
obligated to take this portion of the test. It
should be noted, however, that many colleges
require applicants to take the writing portion
of the test as part of the college application
process.
What school counselors say
Laura Multer, a school counselor at Kohler
High School, said that 19 juniors and seniors
from Kohler had taken the ACT between Sep-
tember and January. In addition, 6 seniors had
taken the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) as
well.
Students from Kohler typically do very well
on the ACT. Over the past 5 years, Kohler stu-
dents have scored an average score of 24.52
on the ACT (the maximum score is 36). The
average score for students across the state is
22.2. Furthermore, each section of the test
English, mathematics, science, and reading
is scored on its own individual 36-point scale,
and Kohler students typically score well above
the state and national averages on all sections
of the test.
Although Multer stated that most colleges
affiliated with the University of Wisconsin
System prefer incoming students to submit
scores from the ACT, she added that it doesnt
hurt for high school students to take the SAT
as well. I recommend students with a 3.5
[GPA] or above to take the SAT for scholar-
ship purposes, Multer stated. According to
her, students who submit scores from both
tests have a better chance at receiving Kohler
Foundation Scholarships.
Multer stated that there are several effec-
tive methods to prepare for the ACT. She
commented that several websites offer test
prep programs which allow future test-takers
to familiarize themselves with the test before
taking the actual exam. She also noted that
several tutoring programs and test preparation
courses, such as Sylvan and Achievement
Associates, are very effective at helping fu-
ture test-takers prepare for the ACT. Howev-
er, she stated that no amount of preparation
can prepare a student for the ACT as well as
taking rigorous coursework while in high
school.
Furthermore, Multer recommended that
students take the ACT more than once. Al-
though not always the case, Multer stated that
she often sees improvement in students test
scores the more they take the test. Taking the
test several times can only help a students
chances at getting into the college of his or her
choice; colleges look at the best scores, so if
someone has multiple test scores, they [the
colleges] will look at the best scores, Multer
stated.
What colleges say
Hugh Mulligan, an admissions counselor at
Marquette University (Milwaukee, WI), spoke
of the pivotal role that standardized tests play
in a high school students transition from high
school to college.
According to Mulligan, the ACT serves as
one of the best ways to gauge a particular stu-
dents strengths and weaknesses when consid-
ering a student for admission. We use these
scores when it comes to reviewing the stu-
dents for admission and we also take these
scores into account when it comes to distribut-
ing our scholarships, Mulligan stated.
Although Marquette allows incoming stu-
dents to submit scores from either the ACT or
the SAT, Mulligan said that the ACT appears
to be much more popular among incoming
students. About 78% of our students take the
ACT, 16% take the SAT, and about 4% take
both, he stated. Mulligan also pointed out
ACT bridges gap between high school and college
that this popularity seems to be a trend not
only at Marquette, but across the Midwest as
well; it seems the ACT is the more popular
choice of standardized tests in the Midwest,
Mulligan commented.
Although Mulligan maintained that the
ACT is certainly a required stepping stone be-
tween high school and college, he cautioned
students against taking the test too seriously.
My best piece of advice for taking standard-
ized tests would be to first relax, Mulligan
commented. Working hard for three years
and getting good grades in high school holds
more weight than what you do for three hours
on a Saturday morning, he added.

Submitted by student participants of GLOBE
GLOBE is an acronym for Global Learn-
ing and Observations to Benefit the Environ-
ment. GLOBE is the first and only interna-
tional environmental monitoring program that
involves schools around the world. Scientists,
students, and teachers can monitor the present
state of the atmosphere by collecting data
such as precipitation, clouds, contrails, and
temperature. The data collected can be used
to interpret satellite data.
GLOBE is the international communica-
tion which helps us understand the possible
effects of global climate changes. The meas-
urements the students make will go far in
helping us understand our planet's climate.
Who is involved in the GLOBE Program?
It if funded by the National Air and Space Ad-
ministration (NASA) and the National Sci-
ence Foundation (NSF), and is supported by
the US Department of State. It is implement-
ed by NASA, the University Corporation for
Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado,
and the Colorado State University in Fort
Collins, Colorado. GLOBE is a partnership
between schools, colleges, universities, scien-
tists, and teachers in 109 countries and 129
US partners. And finally, 14 million measure-
ments have been submitted by 31,000
GLOBE-trained teachers in 17,000 schools.
Here at Kohler, we use daily tests called
the atmosphere protocol. The tests are used to
measure the humidity in the air, barometric
pressure, cloud type and cover,
contrail type and duration, current, maximum,
and minimum temperature, amount of precip-
itation, and pH of precipitation. For each test
we write down the data on a data sheet and at
the end of each week we enter the data into
the GLOBE data site. We use a digital ther-
mometer to measure the current, maximum,
and minimum daily temperature. To find the
relative humidity a digital meter is used. This
test is done to find the relative state of the hu-
midity in the atmosphere.
The importance of the atmospheric proto-
col is that the data can be used over a period
of time to monitor changing conditions in out
atmosphere around the world. With each
week's new data added to the computer sys-
tem, more and more data becomes a part of
the GLOBE data base. The measurements are
beneficial to students, teachers, and scientists
as they help us all understand the global envi-
ronment. The goals of GLOBE are: to en-
hance the environmental awareness of indi-
viduals throughout the world; to contribute to
scientific understanding of the Earth; and to
help all students reach higher levels of
achievement in science and mathematics.
Students involved in the GLOBE Program
this year are: Emma Stock, Kevin Beine,
Austin Van Treeck, Natalie Van Dyke, Holly
Zefus, Dominic Gischia, Carlo Gischia, Stan-
ley Kaymen, Danielle Dykesterhouse, and
Parker Wolf.

Leading the Blue Bombers to a 160-186
dual win over Oostburg, Kohler senior Ryan
Peters broke two school records in golf by
shooting a 3-under-par 33 on the Irish Course
at Whistling Straits in April. His score broke
the mark for lowest nine-hole score and low-
est score in relation to par in a nine-hole
meet. The previous mark of even-par 35 was
held by Gary Kiela (1975) and 36 by Peters
(2005) and Michael Leffel (twice in 2005).

MAY, 2006

Its Spring in Wisconsin. April is the
first full month of spring, which marks
the start of baseball and
warm weather. April is also
the time when the State Trea-
surers office publishes un-
claimed property.
I would like to share some
information with you in this
weeks column about Wis-
consins Unclaimed Property
Program. Every year the
State Treasurers office com-
piles a new list of unclaimed
property for Wisconsin citizens. Ac-
cording to the Treasurers website, Wis-
consin has over $300 million in un-
claimed cash and securities. On Tues-
day, April 25th the Sheboygan Press
published names of unclaimed property
owners for Sheboygan County. You can
also find the list of the website of the
State Treasurer, www.ost.state.wi.us.
Sowhat is unclaimed property?
In general, property is considered un-
claimed if it is a financial asset that has
had no activity by its owner for a period
of 5 years or more AND the owner can-
not be contacted by the holder of the
asset.
This includes savings accounts,
checking accounts, uncashed dividends,
stocks, customer deposits or overpay-
ments, certificates of deposit, credit bal-
ances, refunds, matured life insurance
policies and uncashed death benefit
checks. The law also provides that util-
ity deposits, unclaimed wages and prop-
erty resulting from business dissolu-
tions be reported as unclaimed property
after one year of inactivity. The Un-
claimed Property Act, however, does
not cover real estate.
Under state law, the holders (banks,
insurance companies, etc.) of unclaimed
property must make a determined effort
to find the owner. If they are unsuccess-
ful, they must report the names and last
known addresses of the property owners
to the State Treasurer. The Treasurer
then publishes a list and places them in
regional advertisement throughout the
state.
Until the money is claimed, it is held
in trust in the Common School Trust
Fund. The fund provides low interest
loans to municipalities and interest
earned on those loans aids public school
libraries.
The State of Wisconsin and, more
specifically, the State Treasurer are
merely the custodians of the unclaimed
property. There is no time limit for
claiming your money from the state. If
you can prove that the money in ques-
tion is yours, the State Treasurer will re-
turn it to you or your heirs free of
charge.
So, by now, many of you are proba-
bly wondering if you or any of your
family members have unclaimed prop-
erty that is just waiting for you to claim
it. You can check it in a couple of ways.
The easiest method is the Internet. Just
go to the unclaimed property website,
www.ost.state.wi.us/home/unclaimed_p
Legislative Health Care Plan
Last October, I dedicated one of my
weekly columns to a proposal by a group
of Sheboygan area citizens who
were exploring the potential of
developing an Aerospace Sci-
ence and Education Center on
Sheboygans lakefront. Specifi-
cally, the groups proposal would
convert the 63 year-old Sheboy-
gan Armory into a space and sci-
ence complex that would serve
as a regional tourist and educa-
tion destination.
The primary objective of this
group is to develop a science and
education center that will become the Mid-
wests resource for space travel and explo-
ration, rocketry and science entertainment
and education. The center would offer op-
portunities for larger-than-life adventure
with hands-on activities, theatrical enter-
tainment, and learning labs. The ultimate
goal is to have the center offer a unique,
fun and educational experience for people
throughout the Midwest.
In an effort to support this local eco-
nomic development opportunity, I was
pleased to work with Representative Steve
Kestell (R-Elkhart Lake) to author and in-
troduce Senate Bill (SB) 352, legislation
that would create the Wisconsin Aerospace
Authority (WAA) and officially designate
a Spaceport in Sheboygan. Under the leg-
islation, the WAA will plan and execute a
Spaceport in Sheboygan for the purpose of
conducting aerospace services that pro-
mote, advance and facilitate space explo-
ration and space-related commercial, tech-
nological, and educational development.
Earlier this Spring, the Wisconsin State
Senate and the Wisconsin State Assembly
passed this important legislative proposal
with broad bipartisan support. On Friday,
April 14, 2006, Governor Doyle signed
this legislation into law signaling final lift
off for the creation of the Wisconsin Aero-
space Authority and Spaceport Sheboygan.
We have lift off
Updates From Our State Representatives
roperty.htm, and you can check the State of
Wisconsin Unclaimed Property Program or
search a nationwide database of
unclaimed property. The Trea-
surer also provides each coun-
tys main library with a list of
unclaimed property owners.
If you find your name or the
name of a family member on the
Unclaimed Property list, you
will only find property ID num-
ber. You will not find a descrip-
tion of the property.
Finally, you probably want to
know how to file a claim. Just write or send
an e-mail to the State Treasurer requesting a
claim form (P.O. Box 7871, Madison, WI
53707-7871). Or call the Unclaimed Prop-
erty office at (608) 267-7977.
Remember, however, that only reported
owners or their legal heirs may file a claim.
And you must have some type of support-
ing documentation or proof that you are the
legal owner.
So, if you think you might have un-
claimed property out there, I urge you to
check it out. You have nothing to lose and
possibly something to gain!!!! Its your
property and its just there waiting for you.
Out and About:
I was proud to participate in the send off
of the Plymouth based Company B, 1st Bat-
talion, 121st Field Artillery Army National
Guard unit recently at the Sheboygan Ar-
mory. I would like to thank Company B for
their service to our country and wish them a
safe return.
Enacting this legislation was critically
important to ensuring that our state, and the
ongoing local efforts in Sheboy-
gan could receive federal funds
that have been designated for
aerospace science and education
centers, funds that would be in-
strumental in the development
of Sheboygans space plan.
While the creation of the Wis-
consin Aerospace Authority
may seem somewhat futuristic,
the reality is that the future has
arrived. The amount of invest-
ments and the number of jobs
being created in the aerospace industry
across our nation are sky rocketing and this
initiative will help to lay the necessary
foundation for Sheboygan and the State of
Wisconsin to be a part of this new econom-
ic and educational frontier.
In the short term, this proposal has the
real potential to grow our areas tourism in-
dustry and bring additional economic de-
velopment and jobs to Sheboygan and Wis-
consin. Over the long haul, this legislation
will help to ensure that the City of Sheboy-
gan and the State of Wisconsin are best po-
sitioned to not only participate in this new
economy, but to play an integral role in its
future.
As always, it has been a pleasure com-
municating with you. Please remember to
communicate with me to share your input
by calling 888-295-8750, writing to me at
P.O. Box 7882, Madison, WI 53707-7882,

First graders write reports about Bessie Coleman
First grade students from Mrs. Nebel's class and Mrs. Wolfert's class read a book about Bessie Coleman in order to help celebrate
Women's History Month. These students worked really hard writing book reports about Ms. Coleman.
Bessie Coleman Queen of the Sky
By Allison Boerner
The title of this book is Bessie Coleman
Queen of the Sky. The author of the book is
Linda Johns, the illustrator is Stephen Harring-
ton.
Bessie grew up in Texas. She worked by
picking cotton. It was very hard work for her.
She wanted to travel to different places.
Then Bessie moved to Chicago and worked
in a barber shop. She saved every dollar she
made for flying lessons. She asked lots of peo-
ple, but no one would teach her.
She went to France and learned how to fly.
The she got her flying license. Bessie came
back to the United States. She became an air
show star and people called her Queen Bess.
I liked the book because she never stopped try-
ing to do what she wanted to do. My favorite
part was when she got her license because she
wanted to fly most of all.
By Charlie Kelly
Queen of the Sky. Linda Johns, she is a good
author. Stephen Harrington has good ideas for
pictures.
Bessie grew up in Texas. She had to pick
cotton all day in Texas. She always wanted to
fly a plane. She was a barber in Chicago. She
became famous in France after getting her
pilot's license. She went to the U.S.A. to be an
air show pilot. She was the first black person to
get a flying license.
I like this book because Bessie was the first
African American to fly a plane. My favorite
part was when she got a license because she
was the black, a woman, and a good pilot.
By Katelyn Kometer
Queen of the Sky. Linda Johns wrote this
book. Stephen Harrington drew the pictures
in the book.
When Bessie was little, she lived in Texas.
When Bessie was older she worked at a bar-
ber shop. No one taught her how to drive a
plane. Bessie moved to France and got a li-
cense to drive a plane. She moved back to
the U.S.A. and got the nickname Queen Bess
because she flew so good in air shows.
I liked this book because it was interest-
ing. I like when she got a license, I felt
happy for her.
By Luke Silvestri
Queen of the Sky. Linda Johns wrote a good
book. Stephen Harrington drew great pic-
tures.
When Bessie lived in Texas she picked
cotton. When she lived in Chicago she was a
barber. She saved all her money for being a
pilot. When she lived in France she learned
how to fly a plane. When she moved to the
U.S.A. she was an air show star.
I liked this book because I learned that
Bessie Coleman was the first African Ameri-
can to learn how to fly a plane.

Animal Complaints:
The Kohler Police Department
has received several complaints
of animals at large in the Village,
including the cemetery. Cats and
dogs are required to be on a
leash or chain not longer than six
feet when off their property. Ani-
mals that are on their property
must be controlled by voice com-
mand, fenced in, or on a leash
no longer than 15 feet. Please
keep in mind that not everyone in
your neighborhood wants your
animal in their yard. Also, when
walking your animals, please
pick up after them. Many people
use the green areas in the Vil-
lage to exercise their dogs with-
out picking up after them.
Please be courteous to your fel-
low residents. No one wants to
complain about his or her neigh-
bor.

Book: The Giver by Lois Lowery
Time: 7:00 PM
Place: Kohler Public Library
In a world with no poverty, no crime,
no sickness and no unemployment,
and where every family is happy, 12-
year-old Jonas is chosen to be the
communitys Receiver of Memories.
Under the tutelage of the Elders and
an old man known as the Giver, he
discovers the disturbing truth about his
utopian world and struggles against
the weight of its hypocrisy. With
echoes of Brave New World, in this
1994 Newbery Medal winner, Lowry
examines the idea that people might
freely choose to give up their humani-
ty in order to create a more stable so-
ciety. Gradually Jonas learns just how
costly this ordered and pain-free socie-
ty can be, and boldly decides he can-
not pay the price.

Anticipation Building for 2007 U.S.
Senior Open at Whistling Straits
Pre-Registration Initiated to Meet Ticket Demand
The legends of golf and an anticipated
250,000 golf enthusiasts will celebrate the
nations independence with the 2007 U.S.
Senior Open Championship at Whistling
Straits on July 2-8, 2007. Greg Norman,
Nick Price, Tom Watson and more than 100
of the best senior players in the world will
challenge each other on the Straits course at
Whistling Straits, the perennially Top 100
ranked links course along the shores of Lake
Michigan in Kohler, Wis.
In order to meet the already expressed
demand for tickets, pre-registration has
begun. Pre-registration is available via
www.kohlerchampionships.com through May
7, 2006, to secure the opportunity to be one
of the first to purchase tickets during a
special early-purchase period May 8-June 1,
2006. All remaining tickets will be available
to the general public on June 2, 2006.
"Due to the overwhelming success of the
2004 PGA Championship and the announce-
ment of future major championships, pre-
registration for tickets is vitally important,"
said Barry Deach, Tournament Director-Golf
for Kohler Co. Not only will pre-registra-
tion ensure the ability to purchase tickets for
the 2007 U.S. Senior Open, it will help se-
cure the timely notification for ticket pur-
chases at future Kohler championships.
A variety of ticket options are available
to accommodate all interested attendees. Two
week-long ticket packages are available: The
Independence Club Ticket Package ($315)
and the Season Ticket Package ($200). The

of Whistling Straits, but also to the U.S.
Senior Opens Independence Club pavilion.
In addition, each ticket package comes with
seven daily $10 food and beverage coupons
and one complimentary Official Champi-
onship Journal voucher. And finally, for
every two sets of Independence Club Ticket
Packages purchased, one all-week preferred
parking pass will be provided.
The Season Ticket Package offers seven
individual daily tickets and one complimen-
tary Official Championship Journal voucher
offering a savings of more than $150 in com-
parison to purchasing individual daily tickets.
Daily Ticket prices are $25 per day for
Practice Rounds on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, $65 per day for Championship
Rounds 1 and 2 on Thursday and Friday, and
$75 per day for Saturday and the Final
Championship on Sunday. In keeping with
U.S. Senior Open tradition, juniors 17 years
of age and younger will be provided compli-
mentary access each day of the event.
We at Kohler are excited to host this
USGA major Championship, said Herbert V.
Kohler, Jr., chairman, president and CEO of
Kohler Co. The worlds most seasoned vet-
erans of this game will be tested by a course
that honors the origins and early character of
golf. Theres nothing in tournament play on
this side of the Atlantic like Whistling
Straits.
