Rehearsals are underway for
Kohler High’s spring drama pro-
duction of Oscar Wilde’s “The Im-
portance Of Being Earnest.”
Wilde’s play is both a comedy of
manners and a biting satire on
class distinctions in Victorian Eng-
land. The story centers around two
bachelors who go to extraordinary
lengths to woo the women they
love, women who both insist on
marrying a man named Earnest.
The play is filled with witty dia-
logue and comic moments, mak-
ing this one of the most popular
English plays even written.
“We’ve assembled a wonderful
cast times two,” says director
Peggy Hoffmann. “The production
is double cast in the major roles so
because of the different combina-
tions of actors, you’ll see a differ-
ent play every performance.”
The play will be performed in a
“black box” format that seats the
audience on the stage with the ac-
tors. “We have only 90 seats per
performance, so it’s a very differ-
ent theatre experience, one that our
audience enjoyed for Fools and
Imaginary Invalid.”
Andrew Grose and Hunter
Lewinski will share the role of Al-
gernon Moncrief and Logan
Wright and Denny Kanz will play
Jack Worthing. Lily Hart and
Amelia Grose will share the role
of Cecily Cardew and Annabelle
Goese and Katie Ruelle will play
Gwendolen Fairfax. Elly
Gutschow and Grace Lofgren will
play Lady Bracknell. Rounding
out the cast will be Trevor Bram-
stedt and Sam Maass as Reverend
Chasuble, Megan Conklin as Miss
Prism, John Tengowski and Zach
Neil as Lane and Hank Biznek as
Merriman.
Tickets are on sale at the high
school office. Advanced tickets are
highly recommended as some per-
formances will sell out. Advanced
tickets are $5.00. Any available
tickets will be sold at the door for
$7.00. Performances are Thursday,
April 10 at 7:00 p.m., Saturday,
April 12 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00
p.m., and Sunday, April 13 at 2:00
p.m. A cast list is available in the
office and lists the actors for each
performance.

Based on a recent report,
Kohler-Andrae State Park had an
estimated 414,830 visitors in 2010,
which placed it 6th among Wis-
consin’s 45 state parks. These vis-
itors spent a total of $19,893,383
during their visit or en route. The
report, Economic Impacts of the
Wisconsin State Park System, was
published by the Wisconsin De-
partment of Natural Resources in
November, 2013. The nearly $20
million in visitor expenditures
ranked Kohler-Andrae 9th overall.
(Devil’s Lake was 1st in both cat-
egories.)
Positive opinions about our local
State Park are easy to find. “I
enjoy visiting Kohler-Andrae for
so many reasons, from taking my
bicycle out for a ride or going for
a walk, visiting friends at the
campsites, or even hanging out
down by the lakeshore with the
family,” said Village of Kohler res-
ident Emily Vetting.
“I really enjoy having one of the
best state parks in Wisconsin just a
few miles away. It’s a beautiful
park for biking, hiking, walking on
the beach or just relaxing!” said
Sheboygan resident Steven
Heinen.
Indeed, many of Kohler-An-
drae’s biggest fans are from rela-
tively close by. Approximately
80% of the park’s visitors were
from an 8-county southeastern re-
gion that included Sheboygan,
Ozaukee, Washington, Waukesha,
Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, and
Walworth. For comparison, only
55% of visitors to all Wisconsin
state parks came from a particular
park’s region.
The report also summarized vis-
itor expenditures by the type of
state facility, with visitors spend-
ing an estimated $90 per person
per day at State Trails, $67 at State
Rec Areas, and $50 at State Parks.
Most of the additional spending at
State Trail sites was due to dollars
allocated for accommodations and
restaurants/bars by snowmobilers
and ATV riders, which was more
than double what was spent by
State Park visitors for the same
items.

their development. School profes-
sionals will also be available to an-

KohlerElementaryholds “SouperBowl”
A “Souper Bowl” was held at
the end of January by Kohler
Elementary School. Each class
competed at collecting cans of
soup for two weeks for the
chance of winning a class pizza
party. In total 1,705 cans of soup
were collected and Mrs.
LaDuke’s class won with a total
of 212 cans of soup. This soup
was then donated to the
Sheboygan Falls Food Bank and
the Salvation Army of
Sheboygan.
Seventeen Sheboygan Visual
Artists and sixteen poets of the
Mead Library Poetry Circle ac-
cepted a challenge. They used each
other’s art form to inspire new
works of poetry and visual art.
These works will be featured in a
unique, collaborative exhibit at
EBCO Artworks, 1201 Erie Ave,
Sheboygan. “Making It Speak:
Poets and Artists in Cahoots” will
open as a Final Friday event with
a reception from 6-10pm on March
28. There will be a poetry reading
beginning at 6:30pm. This event,
complete with refreshments and
valet parking, is open to the public,

By Suzanne FinkKohler 50, Hustisford 46
Talk about a nail biter…I’mtalon you, this game had a little bitof everything…including an upset.Kohler pulled off the No. 7-over-No. 2 upset February 25th in thefirst round of regional play againstthe Hustisford Falcons by defeat-ing them on the road 50-46.
Kohler jumped out to a big firstquarter lead of 15-4 and were upby 9 going into the half. With at-tempts made by Hustisford early inthe second half for the comeback,the score remained close at the endof the third at 35-32. With everybasket a winner in the fourth, Bren-nan Ladwig dropped in one of histwo free throws with seconds left,sending the Falcons playoff hopesto a screeching halt.
“We were executing offensivelypretty well,” Kohler coach KenRoeder said.
Leading the Bombers in scoringwere Brennan Ladwig with a gamehigh 18 points and Brett Muellerwith 12. Rounding out the field,Noah Fink pulled in seven re-bounds along with Brennan Lad-wig who contributed with sixboards and four assists.
Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over 'tilit's over." The boys have securedthemselves another game. If theBombers can enter the secondround of regionals with fortitude,then there is little reason to believethey cannot have success against
any opponent in the weeks ahead.In the meantime, the boys shouldfeel good about this victory, theyhave earned it!Kohler —Case 4, Fink 7, Mueller 12, Ste-fanczyk 6, Toeller 5, Bauer 2, Ladwig 18.3-pt: Fink.
Sheboygan Christian 71, Kohler 51
In a highly-anticipated match-up, the Sheboygan Christian Ea-gles defeated the Kohler Bombersby a 71-51 margin on February28th.
Leading 29-26-at intermission,the Eagles were flying high in thethird quarter with their runninggame soaring. Ahead by nine in thethird quarter, Sheboygan Christianwas able to keep the pressure on inthe fourth keeping the victory wellout of reach for the Bombers.
Jordan Toeller led the Bombersin scoring with 14 points, followedby Calvin Stefanczyk with 8.
For the Eagles, Caleb Kelly had17 points, and Brady Otte and KyleStecker each added 14 more.
I think Yogi Berra sums it upbest with this quote, "We made toomany wrong mistakes.” Unfortu-nately, Kohler could not pull offthe win tonight and so our seasoncomes to an end. Thanks Bombersfor a great year of basketball!Kohler —Tobin 2, Case 6, Fink 5, Pellowski 2,Mueller 4, Stefanczyk 8, Toeller 14, Bauer 4,Ladwig 6. 3-pt: Toeller.
Wrap Up:Being a sports fan can often be a
maddening, disappointing exis-tence. With so much emphasisplaced on winning, sports are basi-cally set up just to let you down.But not to worry, we Bomber fans,we’re resilient! That’s why wekeep coming back year after year.Plus, we know that there is so moreto sports than just winning.
I would venture to say thatKohler has a very unique fan base.We cheer a little louder, care a littlemore. We don’t just root for a vic-tory-we root for the player. Thereis that unspoken connection notonly to the team, but to the playersthemselves.
Most sports teams are just teamsand seasons are just seasons…butnot in Kohler. Over the years, weget to watch the kids grow intoconfident, determined, selflessteams. We experience, along withthem, the thrill of a victory and theagony of defeat. Win or lose, weare there.
As I sat at last Friday’s gameagainst Christian, I couldn’t shakethe hint of sadness that this couldbe the final 32 minutes spentwatching this team. As it turned outit was. Our twelve year journey to-gether was now over.
This week, the kids will startpractice for their spring sports.We’ll be there…in the bleachers, atthe courts and on the sideline. Be-cause when you put on a Kohlerjersey, you are not only becomingpart of a team, but part of a family.

Kohler Co. PropertiesRank Among the World’sBest Accommodations Both The American Club and Old CourseHotel place on annual list of Travel +Leisure 500 World’s Best Hotels
Readers of Travel + Leisure
have once again voted to include
both The American Club resort in
Kohler, Wis. and Old Course
Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa in St.
Andrews, Scotland on the cele-
brated annual list of the best lux-
ury hotels in the world. Both
hotels are part of Kohler Co.’s
Global Hospitality & Real Estate
portfolio, and they are joined on
the list by the most prestigious
and well-known luxury resorts in
the world.
“For both of these properties to
be recognized by the readers of
Travel + Leisure as among the
finest in the world is very reward-
ing for all of us,” said Michael
Belot, general manager of Desti-
nation Kohler. “There are many
people who work very hard to en-
sure that every guest’s stay is spe-
cial and enjoyable, and this honor
belongs to them.”
The lodgings on the 2014 list
run the gamut from a 10th century
Tuscan estate to luxury tents on a
Botswana game preserve. It is a
compilation of extraordinary ven-
ues that will entice everyone from
savvy explorers seeking new
haunts to armchair travelers look-
ing to be transported by their
imaginations. Travel + Leisure
describes The American Club as
“the Midwest’s most luxe resort
and spa,” and encourages visitors
to take advantage of the free fac-
tory tour offered at the plant
across the road from the hotel.
Impressed by the “spacious
rooms and top-notch spa,” readers
selected the Kohler-owned Old
Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa
as another of the Top 500 Hotels
in the world. Travel + Leisure
noted that the hotel is the only
one on the “revered 600-year-old
Old Course at St Andrews,” and
that “golf fanatics” should book
one of the many guest rooms that
face the course.
Kohler Co., most notable for its
artistic and innovative kitchen
and plumbing products, has a rich
history of creating high-end prod-
ucts and experiences. Since form-
ing the Hospitality & Real Estate
Group in 1981, Kohler Co. has
continued the tradition of offering
the most luxurious and personal-
ized experiences at both Kohler-
owned properties in Wisconsin
and St Andrews. Both properties,
known for their high-level cus-
tomer service and impeccable at-
tention to detail, are recognized
internationally for their champi-
onship golf courses. The Ameri-
can Club Resort is home to public
courses Whistling Straits and
Blackwolf Run, which have col-
lectively hosted the 1998 and
2012 U.S. Women’s Open, 2004
and 2010 PGA Championships,
2007 U.S. Senior Open and are
the future locations for the 2015
PGA Championship and 2020
Ryder Cup. The Old Course
Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa over-
looks the world’s most famous
golf course, The Old Course, and
also offers golf at the only health-
land course in the area – The
Duke’s. The resort has served as
host hotel for both the 2010 Open
Championship and the annual Al-
fred Dunhill Links Champi-
onship. In addition, these two
resorts offer unparalleled experi-
ences at Kohler Waters Spas,
highly acclaimed for their innova-
tive water-based therapies.
This is the ninth year Travel +
Leisure has invited its readers to
weigh in on their favorite places
to stay around the world. Readers
partake in a survey which asks
them to use a scale from one to
five to rate hotels on five charac-
teristics: rooms/facilities, loca-
tion, service, restaurants/food,
and value. For the 2014 list, read-
ers awarded The American Club
resort a score of 87.59 points out
of a possible 100, and The Old
Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa
bested its score from last year
with a rating of 87.60.
