Free admission
to U.S. Senior
Open for military
personnel
Governor Jim Doyle announced on June
14 that the state will honor military person-
nel and their families during the Fourth of
July celebration at the U.S. Senior Open. In
recognition for their service, all active mili-
tary personnel will receive free admission
to the U.S. Open. This special opportunity
to enjoy the tournament is a collaborative
effort between the Wisconsin Department of
Tourism, Kohler Co., and the United States
Golf Association (USGA).
“Our men and women in uniform
deserve – and have earned – the deepest
respect and most profound gratitude of the
people of Wisconsin,” Governor Doyle
said. “Although we can never repay the debt
we owe our soldiers for their brave and hon-
orable service, I’m proud that Wisconsin
offers the best package of veteran benefits
in the nation. The U.S. Senior Open is
always an enjoyable event. I’m proud
they’ve chosen to hold it here in Wisconsin
and I’m pleased we can offer this small
showing of our appreciation to our men and
women in uniform.”
Active military personnel in Wisconsin
will receive complimentary admission each
day of the tournament, including the cham-
pionship rounds on Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday, July 2-8. Personnel
will be required to show a military identifi-
cation card and may be asked to show a
Wisconsin driver’s license as proof of resi-
dency.
On July 4th, military personnel and their
families will be admitted to the tournament
free of charge for the final practice round
before the competition.
U.S. Senior Open fans interested in par-
ticipating in the initiative will be able to
write letters to support the Wisconsin mili-
tary serving oversees throughout tourna-
ment week. The Wisconsin Department of
Tourism will provide message cards and
will coordinate delivery with support from
the Wisconsin National Guard. The letter
writing campaign will be located at the tour-
nament information booth on the tourna-
ment grounds.
In addition, five dollars will be donated
to the Wisconsin Armed Forces from each
2007 U.S. Senior Open ticket purchased for
July 4th practice rounds. Kohler Co. has
agreed to match the total dollar amount
raised.
Garbage pickup
will be on July 7
There will be no garbage pickup on
Friday, July 6th due to the July 4th holiday.
Pick-up will be on Saturday, July 7th
instead.

two Kohler gardens
The 11th annual Sheboygan Area
Garden Walk will be held on Saturday, July
14, 2007, from 9:00 am till 4:00 pm. Six
beautiful gardens in Sheboygan, Kohler,
and the Howards Grove area are featured,
all different and unique. Garden Club mem-
bers’ own perennials will also be sold at
River Hills farm the day of the walk.
Once again, the proceeds will benefit
the Environmental Trust of Maywood, the
recipient of the proceeds for the past six
years, previously designated for the
Arboretum and the Ecology Center build-
ing fund, plus the purchase of commemora-
tive bricks for the walkway, featuring
names of the garden hosts of the past three
years.
Gardens featured this year are:
RIVER HILLS FARM: Chris and Lona
Werner, 2620 N 40th St., Sheboygan

erty boasts mature trees, sculptured topiar-
ies, and succulent framed garden art. An 8

streambed/rain garden. The maintenance
free yard is decorated with garden art.

100-year-old split rail fence edges sun and
shade gardens. Hibiscus trees and other
container plants compliment the deck and
adjoining atrium.
BABBLING BROOK FLOWER GAR-
DEN: Jim Schomburg, N6714 Rangeline
Rd. Sheboygan, Wisconsin. A continuous
bloom of flowers from April through
November adds beauty to the pond, water-
fall, and babbling brook. This spacious
property also includes two lakes for the
grandkids’ swimming.
TOOTHACRES: Steve and Vickie
Lindstrom, W2857 N. Cty A, Howards
Grove Area. This 42-acre property has

den with a mix of sun and shade. A hand-

Master Gardeners
Plan Bus Trip to
Illinois
The Sheboygan County Master
Gardeners welcome any garden enthusiast
to join them August 3, 2007, for a group
bus trip to the Morton Arboretum and the
Ball Horticultural Display Garden in Lisle
and West Chicago, Illinois.
The Morton Arboretum is set on 1,700
acres and was established in 1922 by Mr.
Joy Morton, owner of the Morton Salt
Company. Its mission is to encourage the
planting and conservation of trees and other
plants for a greener, healthier and more
beautiful world and to do this in ways that
enhance our environment. Today, the
Arboretum is recognized around the world
for its magnificent collection of plants, and
as a leader in research and education.
The second stop for the day is at the trial
and display gardens for the Ball
Horticultural Company. Established in
1905, Ball Horticultural Company's mis-
sion is to be the world leader in the
research, breeding, production and market-
ing of ornamental plants. The gardens at
Ball showcase the many new 2007 plant
introductions and varieties, with an empha-
sis on container gardens. Ball Gardens are
designed to inspire visitors as they compare
products in a new and innovative setting.
Total cost of the all-day trip is $40 per
person and includes motor coach trans-
portation and narrated/guided tours of the
Morton Arboretum and the Ball
Horticultural Gardens. Lunch is not includ-
ed in the cost of the trip but is available on-
site at one of the Morton Arboretum Cafés
at a cost of about $10.
Busses will depart from the UW-
Extension office in Sheboygan Falls at 7:00
a.m. and from the Plymouth High School
parking lot at 7:20 a.m. on August 3.
Return to Sheboygan County is expected to
be about 7:00 p.m
For additional information and registra-
tion, contact Ronda at the Sheboygan
County UW-Extension office in Sheboygan
Falls at 920-467-5742. Space is limited so
full payment is due at time of registration.
The Sheboygan County Master
Gardeners are individuals who have an
interest in horticulture, have taken Master
Gardener training offered by the UW-
Extension, and share their time and knowl-
edge with others. It is the acquisition of
knowledge, the skill of gardening, and the
giving back to the community that distin-
guishes UW-Extension Master Gardeners
from other gardeners.
For more information or to become
involved with the Sheboygan County
Master Gardener program, contact the UW-
Extension office at 920-467-5742 or email

SportsLife Camps to bring its
“Outrageous Fun” to Kohler
SportsLife Camps, a week long summer
program that helps churches develop chil-
dren's faith through energetic sports and
multi-sensory arts programs, will be hosted
by Bethany Lutheran Church of Kohler.
The camp will take place August 6-9 from
5:30-8:30 pm for children ages 6-11.
The camp promises to provide three
hours packed full of “outrageous fun” and
Bible-based learning through high-energy
activities, singing, dance, tennis ball mania,
obstacle courses, break dancing, videos and
more.
The camp differentiates itself from the
traditional Vacation Bible School by allow-
ing each camper to customize the camp
experience by choosing a preferred sport or
art, and developing real skills in those cho-
sen areas through innovative, quality pro-
gramming. The camp brings its own equip-
ment and professional, devout staff. The
staff also works with local church volun-
teers to reach out to campers with faith-
based messages.
Bethany Lutheran Church is located at
222 Church Street in Kohler, and campers
will have access to the Village of Kohler
basketball courts and soccer fields for the
week.
Cost of the camp is $30. Visit
www.sportslifecamps.com for more infor-
mation. Registration forms available at
Bethany or contact Kellie Moeller at 459-
8181.

Kohler Police Department receives
large replica of its police patch
A brass replica of the patch worn on the uni-
forms of Kohler police officers can be seen hanging
on the wall in the Kohler Police Department lobby.
Kohler Police Chief Bill Rutten approached the
the Arts Center with the idea of creating the plaque.
The project was approved by Ruth Kohler,
Executive Director of JMKAC, and created by
artist Adam Labe in conjunction with the John
Michael Kohler Arts Center Arts/Industries pro-
gram. The program makes industrial technolo-
gies and facilities available to artists through
long-term residencies and other programming so
that they may further their artistic explorations.
Participants work in the Kohler Co. Pottery, Iron
and Brass Foundries, and Enamel Shop. Major
funding for the Arts/Industries program is pro-
vided by Kohler Co. and the National
Endowment for the Arts. Kohler Co. associates
also participated in the creation of the piece.
The plaque weighs approximately 110-112
lbs. and took 80 to 90 hours to complete the pat-
tern work, design, molding and finishing. The
estimated cost of the project was $6,000. Time
and materials were donated by JMKAC and the
remainder of the balance ($2,800) was paid for
by Kohler tourism dollars, so the project was
completed at no cost to Kohler residents.
Dave Murrow was the pattern engineer.
Polishing was done by Jack Taubenheim. Bob
Halfmann provided the molten brass, and Beth Li
helped coordinate the project.
Artist Adam Labe, originally from
Philadelphia, recently moved to Oklahoma to
work as a technical facilitator for Oklahoma
University. Artist Adam Labe uses a torch to darken the background

Program guarantees
admission to UW System
institutions
Some Kohler High School graduates
who plan to attend a four-year institution
such as the University of Wisconsin-
Madison, are choosing to begin their aca-
demic study at UW-Sheboygan, where they
will take advantage of the UW System’s
Guaranteed Transfer Program.
UW-Sheboygan is one of thirteen cam-
puses of the UWColleges located through-
out the state of Wisconsin offering course-
work at the freshman and sophomore level.
Students participating in the Guaranteed
Transfer Program are “guaranteed” admis-
sion to another UWSystem institution as a
junior. After fulfilling certain credit and
grade point average requirements, students
transfer with the same rights and privileges
as those who begin their education at the
baccalaureate institutions.
At the UW Colleges, courses are
designed for transfer within the UW
System. Since UW Colleges such as UW-
Sheboygan are fully accredited by The
Higher Learning Commission and a mem-
ber of the North Central Association, the
credits students earn at UW-Sheboygan will
be accepted by other colleges and universi-
ties in Wisconsin and throughout the coun-
try.
The UWsystem also offers the Madison
Connections program. UW-Madison cannot
accommodate all of the academically
strong students who apply for admission, so
selected UW-Madison freshman applicants
for the fall term are invited to participate in
the Connections Program in lieu of direct
freshman admission. In early spring, they
receive a letter of invitation and a Program
Agreement document from UW-Madison’s
Office of Admissions. Students choosing to
participate return the Program Agreement to
the Director of the Connections Program,
designating the two-year campus they want
to attend. UW-Madison then works with the
two-year campus chosen by the student to
admit the student for fall. Students attend
freshman orientation and enroll for fall
classes at the two-year campus. Participants
also are invited to attend a special summer
program at UW-Madison, where they
receive a UW-Madison ID card and addi-
tional academic advising. When program
requirements are fulfilled, the director of
the Connections Program will facilitate the
Connections students’ “transition” to UW-
Madison as a junior.
According to Joyce Atkins of Kohler,
who is the Assistant Campus Dean for
Student Services at UW-Sheboygan,
“Students will get a solid start here in small
classes. We have a state-of-the art science
building completed in 2004 and the new
Acuity Technology Center houses our
library and computer labs.”
According to Teri Venker, Executive
Director, University Relations, “Students
who start at the UW Colleges and transfer,
graduate at a higher percentage than any
other kind of transfer student (such as stu-
dents who transfer from the technical col-
leges, other UWfour-year schools and/or
private schools).”

“Firefly” # D7-05-273 – Female, Spayed, Young
I know I probably look black in the picture but I am chocolate. Everybody loves
chocolate, right? I love to play. I am very youthful and I still have a lot of "puppy"
in me. I got lost and my people didn't come looking for me. I need a home where
my people will teach me everything I need to know to be a great dog.
“Blackjack” #C7-04-0231 – Male, Neutered, Front Declawed
I am ready to deal you the best hand you ever had. I am a great cat. I was surren-
dered because, all of a sudden, somebody in my family got allergies. Frankly, I
would have blamed it on the dust mites! I'm in my senior years but still have plenty
of game left in me.

Kohler Elementary
to Begin Smaller
Class Sizes
The Board of Education approved at their June meet-
ing the reduction in class sizes for Junior Kindergarten,
Senior Kindergarten, and First Grade beginning in the
2007-08 school year. The change will allow classes of 18
or 19 to be the norm in these grade levels. The Board
used research collected by administration and input from
both parents and faculty in reaching the decision. Next
year’s sections are estimated to be two sections of 17 stu-
dents in Junior Kindergarten, three sections of 17 in
Senior Kindergarten, and three sections of 16 in First
Grade.
The Board and administration expects outcomes from
this change to include earlier identification and related
programming for struggling readers, more teacher contact
time for each student during these key developmental
years, and an increase in advance students on the third
and fourth grade state tests in later years.
Kohler Middle
School Approved
To Begin in 2007-
08 School Year
The Board of Education approved at their June meet-
ing the creation of a Kohler Middle School for 7th and
8th graders to begin this fall. The Middle School will be
contained within Kohler Schools and will feature a four-
core teaching team of Mr. Schad (English), Ms, Dietz
(Science), Mr. Roeder (Math), and Ms. LaBudde (Social
Studies). All 7th and 8th graders will rotate through the
four-core teachers every morning on a bell schedule the
teachers set to match instructional needs.
The middle school students will not be intermingled
with the high school students during the vast majority of
the school day. The students will have their own lunch
period with the four-core teachers eating lunch with the
students and providing activities and study groups for stu-
dents during lunch. There will also be a homeroom period
daily where each teacher will be assigned specific stu-
dents to work with all year round on topics that include “7
Habits of Successful Teens,” “Lions Quest,” and individ-
ual tracing of grades and progress. During the later after-
noon periods the middle school students will move
through exploratories that include, band, choir, freshmen
Spanish, Tech. Ed., Art, F&CE, and Phy. Ed.
The middle school will allow the four-core teachers to
become experts on adolescent education, the toughest
years to teach and learn according to research. The teach-
ers will also be highly involved in ensuring that parents,
students, and the school are all working together for the
child’s benefit and to be able to reach the high standards
of Kohler Schools.
For the generous donation of reversible
jerseys to be given to all participants at
the Kohler Girls Basketball Camp during
the week of July 9-12.
The Kohler High School Girls Basketball
program sincerely appreciates your sup-
port. THANK YOU!

tough battle and earned a spot in the cham-
pionship in spite of Wuthrich experiencing
illness that required treatment from the ath-
letic trainer. They eventually fell to #1 seed

Wuthrich and Knabel finished the sea-
son 31-3 and their silver medal was the best
finish in Kohler boys tennis history. Their

Tennis Players of the Year Award, and the
Wisconsin High School Tennis Coaches
Association All-State Honors.

capped off a great season finishing 10-0 in
dual meets, and senior Kyle Wuthrich and

The Kohler High School Girls Soccer
Team ended the season with a record of 6
wins, 1 tie and 1 loss. The team is run by the
Kohler Soccer Club in lieu of a program for
girl’s soccer in the High School. The girls
play local area high school junior varsity
teams. Next year Kohler will have a co-op
varsity team including Sheboygan Lutheran
and Kohler.
“The girl’s success this season demon-
strates there is a group of girls in Kohler
who can compete and win,” said head coach
Scott Feltner. “I feel a bit sad for our two
seniors, Abby Dolloff and Allison
Lichtenberg, who won’t get the chance to
play varsity soccer but have been with the
program over the past four years. We also
have several area home-schooled girls on
the team who won’t be eligible to play next
year.”
“The good news is we have a large and
talented group of eighth graders coming into
the program,” said Feltner. “The Central
Lakeshore Conference is tough but it looks
like we will have a team that will be com-
petitive next year and several years to
come.”

The dedication and ribbon cutting of the
new Kohler Tunnel at Road America took
place on on Friday, June 1st.
The tunnel replaced the bridge entrance
into the paddock and was just one of many
improvements made to the track during the
winter. Designed to accommodate two lanes
of vehicle traffic and two pedestrian walk-
ways, the tunnel has a 16.5' clearance and is
36 feet wide and 168 feet long. McMahon
and Associates of Neenah, Wisconsin,
designed the tunnel and served as general
contractor. The tunnel’s unique pre-cast
concrete roofing structure enabled the tun-
nel to be located in its desirable location
near the farmhouse office and Gate 1.
Attending the ceremony were Road
America President George Bruggenthies,
the Sheboygan County Chamber
Ambassadors (blue jackets), Kohler compa-
ny staffers, and Kohler Global Power
President Dick Fotsch, who cut the ribbon.

JULY, 2007

THE KOHLER VILLAGER kohlervillager.com
Being a State Legislator is
not your typical 9 to 5 job.
Schedules include a lot of
meetings and events at
night and on weekends. I
have even found myself on
the Assembly floor facing
the sunrise of a new day.
Luckily…those marathon
session days are not the
norm. So, suffice it to say,
unlike many of you, I do
not punch a clock in my work for you
in the State Assembly.
State Legislators are considered
salaried state employees. We do not
need to put in a minimum of 40 hours
a week and we do not get paid over-
time if we need to work more than 40
hours in a week. We do not get a
specified number of vacation days.
But State Legislators, like other state
employees, do get sick leave.
Although, we do receive less sick
leave than rank and file state employ-
ees (65% the normal rate). The ques-
tion is why do we get sick leave in the
first place?
The answer may lie in a perk given
to state employees. State employees
are able to convert unused sick leave
into health insurance premiums upon
their retirement. It is a way of encour-
aging state employees not to use sick
leave unless they are really sick and,
thus, preventing the need to replace
them with someone working overtime.
After some news articles were pub-
lished relating to the use of sick leave
by University of Wisconsin employ-
ees, the issue of Legislative sick leave
came to light. A Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel article pointed out that
although legislators receive sick
leave, few (if any) actually claim the
leave…even when they are sick.
Without naming names, it became
clear that many legislators missed
both committee hearings and session
days due to illness without claiming
sick leave (even while some were
hospitalized).
Personally, I haven't yet missed a
committee hearing or a session day
due to illness. And, up until the
Assembly organization adopted a rule
regarding legislative sick leave, I
wouldn't have been able to tell you
how a legislator claims a sick day.
Taking all that into account, I sup-
port legislation to eliminate legislative
sick leave. And, earlier this year, the
State Assembly voted to take that
action. Now, it's time for the Senate to
act!
Four pieces of legislation have
been introduced this session to elimi-
nate sick leave for state legislators.
Assembly Bill 23, introduced by
Representa-tive Wasserman, would
Legislation to eliminate
legislative sick leave
Last month, following more than
three years of detailed planning, negoti-
ation and development, WisconsinEye
(WisEye) began to broadcast live inter-
net coverage of the Wisconsin State
Legislature. WisEye will provide the cit-
izens of Wisconsin with "C-
Span" type coverage of our
state government. Yes, that's
right…you, the citizens of
Wisconsin, are now able to
watch the official proceedings
of the legislature and other
state government events from
a computer at your home or
work.
To access live coverage of
State Senate and Assembly
voting sessions and public hearings
before the Joint Finance Committee,
simply log-on to the WisEye website at:
www.wiseye.org. From this website you
will be able to see live gavel to gavel
coverage of debates on pending legisla-
tion and monitor the votes and actions
of the State Senate and Assembly.
The next live session of the State
Senate should be on Tuesday June 26,
2007. This session will focus on
Governor Jim Doyle's proposed state
budget. I encourage all interested tax-
payers to log-on.
In addition to this live coverage, the
WisEye website also has video and
audio archives for all voting sessions
and important committee hearings.
For instance, on June 18th the
Senate Committee on Ethics Reform
and Government Operations held a
public hearing which is viewable on
WisEye. As your State Senator, I serve
on this committee and encourage
everyone to check out this archive. As
Keeping an Eye on Your State
Government
Updates From Our State Representatives
eliminate sick leave for mem-
bers of the State Legislature.
Assembly Bill 31, introduced
by Representative Strachota,
would eliminate sick leave
benefits for state legislators,
as well as other state elected
officials (including judges
and district attorneys).
It was Assembly Bill 31
which came before the full
Assembly for consideration
earlier this year. With the adoption of
a substitute amendment, the legisla-
tion will prohibit state legislators (and
certain other elected officials) from
receiving sick leave upon the pas-
sage of the bill. The bill was passed
by the State Assembly on March 1st
by a vote of 66-29. Assembly Bill 31
is now in the Senate.
Last week, another version of the
legislative sick leave bills was dis-
cussed at a public hearing in the State
Senate. Senate Bill 213, introduced
by Senator John Lehmann, proposes
to eliminate sick leave benefits for
members of the State Legislature. It
does not address other elected offi-
cials.
SB 213 states that "no member of
the assembly or senate may accumu-
late unused sick leave from year to
year in his or her sick leave account
for work performed as a member of
the legislature in any legislative ses-
sion beginning on or after January 5,
2009."
Why wait until next session? As
you may know, legislators cannot
receive an increase in compensation
(i.e. a pay raise) within a current leg-
islative session. Pay raises do not
take affect for a legislator until they
are re-elected. This bill would treat
sick leave in the same way, eliminat-
ing the benefit with the election of the
next legislature.
Whichever way we go, I think it is
clear that it is time to act on this issue.
As I stated in the beginning of this col-
umn, being a state legislator is not a
9-5 job. We don't follow regular work
hours and don't need to account for
our workweek the way other state
employees do. So, I think it's time for
us to act and eliminate legislative sick
leave.

KOHLER HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATE RETURNS
As a pitcher for the Kohler Blue
Bombers, he was a unanimous selection
to the all-conference baseball team.
And no wonder: in one season he posted
a 5-0 record, allowing only 14 hits in 35
2/3 innings and striking out nearly nine
times as many batters (62) as he walked
(7). His remarkable seasons included a
stretch where he threw back-to-back no
hitters in two consecutive games.
Michael Ehren went on from high-
school baseball star to earn a Bachelor’s
Degree from Marquette University
(Business Administration/Marketing)
and a Master’s Degree in Accounting
from the University of Wisconsin—
Milwaukee. After working at Arthur
Young & Company in Milwaukee (CPA
firm) and becoming a CPA in
Wisconsin, he later became
CFO/Director of Finance for two of the
largest and most reputable law firms in
Southern California.
What’s more, while still employed as
a Director of Finance for a California
law firm, Mr. Ehren has now branched
out into a new field: that of children’s
book writing. He is the author of They
Sleep Too, a poetic A-Z children’s book
highlighting interesting and unusual
animal sleeping patterns. His second
book, They Have Babies Too (in
progress), will also take a poetic A-Z
look at the animal world, this time
focusing on interesting behavioral pat-
terns between newborn animals and
their parents. This summer he is return-
ing to his home town to promote litera-
cy to children and to see his old friends,
family and neighbors. On Thursday,
July 5, 2007, Mr. Ehren will be at the
Kohler library at 10AM and 2PM at
Mead Library in Sheboygan and visit
neighboring child care centers. Mr.
Ehren’s children’s book series was pub-
lished by Ocean Front Book Publishing
(OFB), who has the mission to extend
the advantages of literacy to everyone.
OFB publishes features authors who are
professionals in fields other than writ-
ing. It has a particular emphasis on
community which makes Ocean Front
Books a unique development in the pub-
lishing world.
On Tuesday, July 3, 2007, Mr. Ehren
will be at the Kohler library at 12:30
to conduct a creative writing work-
shop for anyone 9 years old and up.
Please call ahead to reserve a spot.

Soliciting without permits: The
Village of Kohler has been experienc-
ing an increase in door-to-door sales-
persons soliciting without first obtain-
ing permits. The fees for the permits
are nominal, but the important aspect
is that the Village is aware of exactly
who is soliciting. Background checks
can be run and only legitimate organi-
zations are allowed to solicit. If some-
one 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 immedi-
ately.
Bike Safety Day: The Bike Safety
Day held on June 9
th
was a huge suc-
cess. The event was held in the Village
Hall lot with approximately 200+ par-
ticipants. Officer Chad Gross did a
good job in preparing for the event this
year. We never anticipated having such
a high turnout as we usually have
between 55 and 75 participants. Thank
you to the parents who assisted.
Everyone I spoke with said his or her
children enjoyed the program. Our
department received a grant from
Habush, Habush & Rottier SC for the
bike helmets that were given out. The
soda was donated by Lakeside Pepsi
and the chips were donated by Frito
Lay Inc. The Kohler Police
Department then provided the partici-
pants with either a cable lock, halogen
light, or an electronic odometer for
their bikes. We appreciate the assis-
tance from Wolf Cycle to make this a
successful event. We all look forward
to doing it again next year. Pictures of
the event are posted on the Kohler
Police Department website at
www.kohlerpolice.com.
U.S. Senior Open Event Update: The
USSO runs from July 2
nd
through July
8
th
. The Kohler Police Department is
geared up for the added activities and
tourists. Additional officers will be
assigned to the shifts to deal with the
increased traffic flow and the other
demands for service. Kohler police
officers will be involved in an egress
route from the course that may include
directing as many as 9,000 cars a day
back to I-43 southbound. I had request-
ed and received approval from the
Tourism Committee to receive reim-
bursement for overtime and part-time
officer expenses. We anticipated an
increased workload during the event,
but didn’t want the services to the
Village residents to suffer either. We
are anticipating an increased number
of parking and traffic related issues
with the different events scheduled
during the tournament. Residents are
encouraged to call our department if
they have concerns.
