The 80th annual Kohler High School
Baccalaureate, Scroll Night and
Commencement ceremony which took
place the week of June 4th through the
11th turned out to be magical.
Each year, a Kohler High School sen-
ior draws the names of four kindergartners
from a hat to serve as escorts of graduates
on Scroll Night. This year, by luck of the
draw, all four kindergarten escorts hap-
pened to have a parent who shared some
things in common all four kindergart-
ners had parents who graduated from
Kohler High School, grandparents who
attended or graduated from Kohler High
School, and all four kindergartners and their
parents had Mrs. Braatz as a kindergarten
teacher! In fact, David Kohler was a student in
Mrs. Braatzs very first kindergarten class,
and Davids son, Jack was a student this year
in Mrs. Braatzs very last kindergarten class as
she has retired. All four kindergarten escorts
this year also had grandparents that attended
or graduated from Kohler, and one kindergart-
ner, Ben Maki, had a great grandmother,
Roberta Maki, who graduated from Kohler.
Congratulations and best of success to the
2006 Kohler High School graduates!

After winning the Central Wisconsin
Conference championship, the Kohler high
school golf team had its sights set on ad-
vancing to the WIAA Division 3 State
Boys' Golf Tournament for the second
straight year and challenging for a state
title. Their quest began with a trip to the
Division 3 sectionals at Quit Qui Oc, where
they shot a season best 310 to beat eight
other teams to advance to the state tourna-
ment. Blue Bomber senior Ryan Peters
carded an even-par 71 to earn medalist
honors.
Kohler boys' golf
team: state
runner-up!
Led by Ryan Peters at 154 and
Michael Leffel at 155, Kohler's two-round
score of 335 at University Ridge near
Madison might have been good enough to
win the title in some years - indeed, the
Blue Bombers topped the third-place team
by 17 strokes - but Osseo-Fairchild's
record setting 320 was too much to over-
come. Nevertheless, the Kohler team,
which also included Mark Kolb, Jon Pe-
ters, and Kale Schnettler, still had an out-
standing season under coach Dirk Willis.

Soliciting without permits: The
Village of Kohler has been expe-
riencing an increase in door-to-

The fees for the permits are
nominal, but the important as-
pect is that the Village is aware

Background checks can be run
and only legitimate organiza-
tions are allowed to solicit. If
someone is soliciting legally,
they will not be upset if they are
asked to see their permit. If no
permit has been issued, please
send them on their way and
contact the police department
immediately.
Bike Rodeo: The Bike Rodeo
held on June 10
th
, was a suc-
cess. The event was held in the

proximately 55 participants. Offi-
cer Chad Gross did an outstand-
ing job in coordinating the event
this year. Our department re-
ceived a grant from Habush,

out. The Kohler Police Depart-
ment then provided the partici-

The Village of Kohler
Designated As Botanic
Garden Community
The Village of Kohler, the first fully-
developed garden community in the United
States, received botanic garden certifica-
tion from the American Public Garden As-
sociation for promoting display, study and
conservation of plants for public benefit.
As of spring 2006, the Botanical Gardens
of Kohler offers educational programming,
garden tours and related events to its mem-
bers, resort guests and the community as a
new amenity at the Destination Kohler re-
sort.
The Village of Kohler offers a natural
fit for this accreditation with its many gar-
dens and customized landscaping, said
Kelly Boeldt, Botanical Garden Event Spe-
cialist. The accreditation celebrates the
communitys appreciation and enjoyment
of gardening while offering the Village as
a showcase for botanic beauty.
The seeds for the Botanic Gardens of
Kohler were planted in 1913 when Walter
J. Kohler, Sr. traveled to Europe to study
garden cities. Kohler then worked with the
Olmsted Brothers, designers of Central
Park in New York City, to plan the green
spaces that beautify the Village of Kohler
and Kohler Co. campus for the initial 50-
year master plan. Now in the second 50-
year plan, more than 1000 acres of natural
landscapes and display gardens showcase a
broad spectrum of the flora found in the
Midwest.
The garden collections in the Village of
Kohler include The American Club resort-
hotel including the courtyard gardens, The
Shops at Woodlake Kohler featuring the
Butterfly Garden at the Kohler Gardener,
Village of Kohler Parks, Blackwolf Run
Golf Course, Arts/Industry Walk, Sports
Core Health & Racquet Club, Kohler Wa-
ters Spa, and the Kohler Design Center.
These gardens are available for enjoyment
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a
year and special programming and tours
are available year round. For details on
offerings and membership, visit
DestinationKohler.com or call
