In January, the faculty of KohlerHigh School selected representa-tives to attend the 2014 BadgerGirls and Boys State programs.Criteria for selection includedleadership, scholarship, service,and participation in school activi-ties.

The Delegate selected forBadger Girls State which is heldon the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Campus in June is:Megan Conklin, daughter of Jimand Laura Conklin.

Katherine Ruelle, daughter ofRussell and Susan Ruelle was se-lected as alternate for the BadgerGirls program.

Badger Girls State is a week oflearning about local, county andstate government. American Le-gion Auxiliary Badger Girls Stateis not a recreational or sports pro-gram. Citizens are divided intotwo political parties—the Federal-ists and Nationalists. They de-velop their own party platformsand formulate their own issues.Citizens “learn by doing” as theyfunction on city, county and statelevels by electing officials in themanner prescribed by regular elec-tion procedures and conductingbusiness on those levels. Everygirl is encouraged to participate insome level of the governmentalprocess.

Ben Madigan, son of David andNancy Madigan, and CarsonSchneider, son of Steven and LieslSchneider were selected to partic-

ipate in the Badger Boys State onthe Ripon College campus.

Andrew Bryce, son of Larry andLinda Bryce and Connor Sbrocco,son of Mark and Tandra Sbroccowere selected as alternates for theBadger Boys program.

Badger Boys State participantsdevelop their own party platforms,pass local ordinances and utilize astate patrol and judicial system toenforce the laws and constitutionof the 51st state. Additionally, cit-izens choose from a series ofschools of instruction such as: law,peace officer, leadership, publicspeaking, parliamentary proce-dure, and lobbying and campaignstrategies, among others. BadgerBoys State citizens also have anopportunity to participate in a va-riety of team sports that competethroughout the week, a band andchoir, or write for the BadgerBugle Citizen, the official news-paper of Badger Boys State.

The Prescott-Bayens Post N. 83of the American Legion and theAmerican Legion Auxiliary spon-sor these programs to foster an un-derstanding of Americangovernment. Students fromthroughout the state learn the prin-ciples of democracy by living to-gether as self-governing citizens,studying the Constitution andsharing experiences that demon-strate both the privileges and re-sponsibilities of citizenship.

Badger Girls andBoys State named

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.”

country they were assigned by theconference board. The Model UN University of

Chicago conference is a four-dayevent filled with eight hours of de-bating each day. All of the dele-gates were paired with a partnerand debated with groups of stu-dents ranging from 50 to 300. Theother 3500 students attending fromall around the United States andthe world provided for somefriendly competition. The Kohler team has also at-

tended a conference at CarthageCollege and plans on returning toChicago in 2015 for their thirdyear of competition, hopefullywith an even larger group of stu-dents.

By Suzanne FinkCedar Grove 63, Kohler 50(3-11 CLC) Cedar Grove set its trajectorytonight for a victory, and theydid not sway far from that pathas they rocketed to victory Feb-ruary 8th with a 63-50 win overthe Bombers at home. The Bombers finished thefirst half tied with the Rocketsbut they came out fueled up inthe second half preventingKohler from getting any closer,using an 21-14 thrust to end thethird and take an 45-38 leadinto the fourth. “Cedar Grove is a good teamand they are athletic,” said for-ward Brennan Ladwig. “Win orlose, we knew we could playwith them.” Brett Mueller led theBombers in scoring with 13points. R.J. Lemmerman had 18points for the Rockets followedby Josh Weiss with 12.

The Bombers didn’t havemuch space for error in thisgame, as it could have gone ei-ther way. Kohler will need tofind a way to lift their spirits inthe next couple of weeks asthey head into the final gamesof the season. If the stars align,we may just get a Bomber vic-tory. Kohler — Tobin 2, Case 6, Fink 6, Pellowski 2,Mueller 13, Stefanczyk 7, Toeller 6, Ladwig 6,Gartman 2. 3-pt: Fink 2, Mueller.

Kohler 64, Stockbridge 40(6-11) The Bombers came out earlyand built a comfortable cushionfor a 64-40 win on the roadover the Stockbridge Indians onFebruary 11th. Flashes of dominance in thefirst half put them up 15-5 afterthe first and 37-14 at the half.Stockbridge, who never got thechance to be a threat to Kohler,was left with no other choicebut to succumb to the offensiveruns brought on by the

Bombers in the second half. “It was a big game for us thatnight so we focused and had agoal to get all 11 players sometime and take home the win,”said forward Joe Pellowski. “Avariety of guys played with eachother, we focused, and camehome with a big win to start offour week of the tournament.” The Bombers blew the gameopen on the combined efforts ofBrennan Ladwig and Joe Pel-lowski who each scored 12points. Combined, they broughtdown a total of 16 rebounds forKohler.

Zach Woefel led the Indiansin scoring with 24 points. There is a saying, “Thosewho play team sports usuallyhave a ball.” All eleven of theBomber players had an oppor-tunity to play tonight, each hav-ing a role in this victory. Fromwhere I sat…it looked like theywere having a ball to me!Kohler —Case 3, Fink 7, Pellowski 12, Mueller8, Stefanczyk 6, Toeller 6, Bauer 4, Ladwig 12,Gartman 4, Neil 2. 3-pt: Case, Fink, Mueller.

Oostburg 50, Kohler 25 (3-12CLC) The Dutchmen did not tip-toethrough the tulips February18th…they stomped! Makingfast work of the Bombers, de-feating them by a 50-25 margin. Oostburg jumped out to anearly lead and led 10-4 after thefirst quarter. At this juncture,the Dutchmen’s running gamewas flying as they were repeat-edly beating the Bombers intransition. Falling behind 29-11at halftime, the Bombers could-n’t bounce back in the secondhalf, as they were outscored 21-14 in the next two quarters. Kohler was paced by JordanToeller with 10 points, followedby Brett Mueller with 4. Oostburg received 10 pointseach from the trio of ParkerGabrielse, Lukas Meerdink andAndrew Telschow. Well Bomber fans, as wewind down the final games ofthe season and look forward tothe playoffs, we need to re-member that it’s not how youstart, but how you finish. Balltil you Fall!Kohler — Case 2, Pellowski 2, Mueller 4, Ste-fanczyk 2, Toeller 10, Bauer 2, Ladwig 3. 3-pt:Toeller

Sheboygan Lutheran 69,Kohler 57 (3-13 CLC) I could write about the gamethat took place tonight against

the Sheboygan Lutheran Cru-saders, but I feel that it is moreimportant to touch upon whattonight was really about…ourseniors. With the end of the regularseason, the sad realizationcomes to mind that these are thelast few weeks we’ll have withour eight seniors. Tonight, EricBauer, Phil Case, Cody Gart-man, Brennan Ladwig, Joe Pel-lowski, Brett Mueller, CalvinStefanczyk, and Zach Neil werehonored for their dedication tothe boys’ basketball team. Senior night is a night ofgoodbyes. Saying goodbye totwo-a-days, 6 am conditioning,long bus rides, grueling work-outs and all those bags of ice.But most importantly, it is say-ing goodbye to your team-mates. It’s the end of a longjourney for most players andthe beginning of the next step.It’s a chance for the fans to con-gratulate and appreciate whatthey have accomplishedthroughout the years. It will be tough for me towatch these boys, the sameones who grew up with Noah,finally move on. But I draw asense of pride from knowingthey gave their all to Kohlerwhile they were here and thatthe relationships and bondsthey formed with each otherboth as friends and teammateswill remain. As the boy’s took their finalsteps off of the home courttonight, with heads held high -I want to thank them for play-ing this game with all of theirheart…like it was their very lasttime. The Bombers head to Hustis-ford, February 25th for the firstround of regionals.

Board President’s Report (Marlene Yang)

The local school districts are discussing•the September 1 start date. Many of thedistricts advocate local control to deter-mine the beginning of the academicschool year.

The annual WASB-WASDA-WASBO State•Education Convention will be January 22-24, 2014 in Milwaukee. Quynh and Mar-lene will be attending.

Superintendent’s Report (QuynhTrueblood)

Kohler hosted a County Superintendents•Meeting. Interest in an earlier school startdate means more preparation time forhigh stakes tests: WKCE, ACT, SAT, andAP. While the tourism industry has signifi-cant influence over this law, countyschools come to our legislators with stu-dent achievement a priority.

The annual winter choir concert saw our•elementary students singing their heartsout. Families and our school communitycould not have been more proud of ourchildren.

A multilevel and balanced data driven•process will set the foundation for 2014-15 steps targeted at student achieve-ment. Triangulated data summaries willinform the development of the annual cal-

endar, master schedule, daily schedule,and professional development. While ed-ucator effectiveness, response to inter-vention, and common core statestandards will remain district priorities,the work will now move to developingcoherence to shape our work and learn-ing flow.

Kohler Co. hospitality (Destination•Kohler) has partnered with the KohlerHigh School Athletic Department offeringBomber cards for sale with 100% pro-ceeds to the program while promotingvillage businesses. We thank MichaelBelot, a Blue Bomber graduate, for hispartnership.

Kohler hosted the honors high school•bands of the Central Lakeshore Confer-ence at Lakeland College under the direc-tion of newly appointed director, Dr.Christopher Werner, a former high schoolband teacher. Special thanks to Rich Ten-gowski for serving as conference coordi-nator. It was a pleasure to acknowledgestudents and directors of the conferencebands.

Attended a presentation by Dr. John•Draper, author of Crucial Conversationsabout America’s Schools. Dr. Draper pro-vided strategies for managing organiza-tional energy to power work andoutcomes. I look forward to putting prin-ciples into actions.

pected to change over the next fewyears as the number of courses in themature U.S. market decreases, andChina’s demand for new courses con-tinues to grow rapidly.

From among the world’s top 100golf courses, Golf Digest named 40courses from within the UnitedStates. Eight are located in the Mid-west, and Whistling Straits is the onlycourse listed in Wisconsin. The listpraised “the rugged fairways andwindswept greens,” at WhistlingStraits and noted that the Par 72course has a daunting number ofbunkers along its two-mile stretch onthe shores of Lake Michigan.

Whistling Straits is made up of twolinks-style courses – the rugged lake-side Straits Course and the more in-land grassland-and-dunes IrishCourse. The Straits Course, which hashosted two PGA Championships, theU.S. Senior Open and the PalmerCup, was named number two on GolfDigest’s 2013/14 list of America’s top100 public courses, and the IrishCourse was listed at 39th on the samelist.
