Ag, FFA milestones mark growthDerek SpellmanUnified Newspaper Group

I t ’ s M o n d a y m o r n -ing, and Jerry Wendt and his students gather near a makeshift “pool” where young ducks have gone for a brief swim inside a Stoughton High School agriculture lab.

Wendt, an agriculture teacher and FFA adviser, has been explaining to the students in his animal care class how ducks acclimate to water. Now he is trying to herd the ducks back into their pen, only to see them surge back toward the pool again.

“Because they’re social animals, where one goes, they all go,” he tells the class.

“I absolutely love ani-mals,” SHS freshman Tay-lor Lawrence, who is tak-ing the class because she

wants to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, told the Hub.

Veter inary medic ine is just one of the many careers that have spun off

from agriculture.The growth and devel-

opment of Stoughton’s agricultural program – the district this year started offering agriculture classes

at the middle school for the first time – will be among the reasons for celebra-tion when SHS marks the 75th anniversary of its FFA organization and the

centennial of agriculture education in Stoughton this weekend. The program has changed over the last

Candidates discount divisions following electionDerek SpellmanUnified Newspaper Group

Both incumbents and cha l l enge r s c au t i oned against t rying to draw sweeping conclusions from las t week’s S toughton school board elections.

They also tended to dis-miss notions of community divisions, before or after the election, as overblown. There appeared to be some consensus that communi-cation in g e n e r a l has been an i s sue f o r t h e S t o u g h -ton Area S c h o o l D i s t r i c t r e g a r d -less of the campaign, a l though s e v e r a l c a n d i -dates said that might have played a role in the defeat of two incumbents.

Otherwise, explanations either remained elusive or varied after voters sent three challengers and one incumbent to the school board in a campaign that featured staff relations, ref-erendum planning, enroll-ment, board experience and the district’s success stories in the mix of issues.

“I don’t know if I see a n y t h i n g c l e a r ” f r o m the results, said Francis “Frank” Sullivan, who cap-tured the fourth seat on the board.

He pointed out that the top vote-getter in the elec-tion was an incumbent, Donna Tarpinian, who led the field of six candi-dates with 1,775 votes. She was followed by Wanda Grasse’s 1,643 votes; Joe

Council to debate pre-annexation agreement for Kettle Park WestCity of Stoughton

mark IgnatowSkIUnified Newspaper Group

After the Common Council sets its course for the next year on Tuesday, it will consider plans to commit up to $7 million in taxpayer assistance to a commercial project on the west side of the city.

The council will discuss a pre-annexation agreement with Kettle Park West developers, though city

staff still need to fill in some blanks in the agreement before the council looks at the agreement, planning and development director Rodney Scheel said at the city’s Planning Commis-sion meeting this week.

The Planning Commission for-warded their recommendation of the document that spells out some of the improvements that will be made to the property.

The pre-annexation agreement

calls for about $12.6 million in pub-lic improvements over the course of three phases. The developer, Kettle Park West, LLC, is seeking up to $7 million in Tax Incremental Financing to facilitate those improvements in the first phase.

Big ticket items include intersec-tion and road improvements along Hwy. 138 and Hwy. 51, storm water management and professional service

We, the city of Stoughton, the Stoughton Area School District, the local Sheriff’s office, and the Stoughton Police Department, officially announce our partnership with the StoughtonCARES community coalition in support of the 2013 “Parents Who Host Lose the Most” campaign to reduce underage ac-cess to alcohol. This initiative, with similar campaigns all over Wisconsin and the nation, is being organized locally by the StoughtonCARES coalition, which is working to address underage drinking and other substance abuse concerns.

We support the following basic tenets of “Parents Who Host Lose the Most: Don’t Be a Party to Teenage Drinking”:

• Any adults, including parents, other adults, and businesses, who provide alcohol to those below the legal drinking age of 21 are placing those youth at risk for health, safety, and legal problems.

• Alcohol use by young people is dangerous, not only because of the risks associated with acute impair-ment, but also because of the serious threat to their long-term development and well-being.

• It is illegal to give or allow your teen’s friends to drink alcohol in your home, or at any other location you provide or know of, even with their parents’ permission.

• Any adult found guilty of purchasing or providing alcohol to youth other than their own offspring or legal ward is subject to both state and local sanctions, in addition to any civil action that may occur as a result of damages or injury related to the offense.

• Adults have the authority and responsibility to our youth to provide them with alternative opportunities by creating alcohol-free social activities.

THEREFORE, we not only discourage the use of alcohol by those below the legal age of consumption, but also encourage all residents of Stoughton to refuse to provide alcoholic beverages to underage youth. We pledge to support law enforcement efforts to identify and eliminate this illegal and unhealthy activity.

fees.For example, engineer-

ing costs are slated to be around $650,000. Storm-water management - which includes an infiltration basin, water quality basin, pump station and piping - comes in at an estimated $1.1 million. Roadway improvements and new intersections along Hwy. 138 could cost around $2.3 million.

Financial details of the agreement were not dis-cussed at the Planning Commission level, expect for a part of the agreement that calls for the city to hold some costs related to the city’s expansion of the Urban Service Area.

Scheel said the devel-oper is asking the city to reimburse the com-pany between $30,000

and $70,000 for cost that were incurred when some land was brought into the city’s USA in 2011. Scheel explained that the city had several existing properties approved to be in the USA that are not part of the cur-rent developers plan. If those properties wish to join connect to the urban services in the future, they would repay the city for the costs to make those improvements.

The Common Council is expected to review the pre-annexation agreement at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 16. The city expects to have an annexation petition from property owners by the end of May and will have up to a year to negotiate and finalize those agreements.

Kegonsa lands hundreds of thousands of Post-It notesDerek SpellmanUnified Newspaper Group

Kegonsa E lementa ry School students will now have enough pink and yel-low Post-it notes to last them, well, a while.

The school early last month received $37,000 worth of donated Post-It notes from Suttle-Straus, a Waunakee printing and mai l ing company. The notes will be used as part of students’ reading cur-riculum. Kegonsa principal Fred Trotter said school officials have calculated that amounts to 29,164 two inch-by two-inch squares of the well-known pink, yellow or purple notes that many use as reminders or labels.

Based on a count of notes in one of those packs, that amounts to 1,429,036 individual Post-It notes, according to an extrapola-tion by the Hub.

It’s safe to say, it’s a lot.But Kegonsa students

won’t be using these notes as reminders; they’ll be using them to mark pas-sages and vocabulary words in books they read for class, specifically through the Reader’s Workshop program the district has instituted at elementary school as part of its broader emphasis on literacy.

Before , s tudents and teachers had to be conser-vative with their Post-it notes because of cost con-straints.

“Now we are going to be able to use them with abandonment,” said Trotter, who also noted that Keg-onsa sent some of the notes to Sandhill and Fox Prairie elementary schools.

The Reader’s Workshop model can vary by class-room, but the program broadly calls for indepen-dent reading time, where students keep a journal about what they think or

feel about the materials they are reading, and for sharing time with other stu-dents about their journal entries. Conferences with teachers are also often part of the program.

The district has placed an emphasis on reading in recent years, in part because of its status as a foundation-al skill. New assessments and more materials in the school libraries are part of that effort.

Trotter said the school was able to land the notes because the spouse of one

of Kegonsa’s educational assistants works for the print ing company. The notes that went to Kegonsa were about to be recycled when the company heard about the need here. The school then asked a parent with a dually truck to col-lect the notes, which ended up being about several pal-lets worth.

As for how long these notes will last Kegonsa’s young readers, well, that’s hard to forecast.

“It’s hard to say,” Trotter said.

Stoughton Area School District

Board outlines opposition to voucher expansionBy Derek SpellmanUnified Newspaper Group

The Stoughton school board has called for pub-lic schools’ revenue limits to keep pace with inflation and staked out its opposi-tion to a proposed expan-sion of the state’s voucher program in a letter that will be sent to state lawmakers.

The letter, reviewed and authorized by the school board Monday night, will be sent to members of the state Legislature’s joint finance committee and to state representatives and senators that represent the district, said board mem-ber Donna Tarpinian, who wrote the letter for the board. The state Legisla-ture is now considering the biennial budget.

“Much is expected of public education, and we are continuing to rise to the challenges and demands before us but this budget hamstrings public schools, while providing generous increases in state payments to religious and private voucher schools,” states the letter, which is on behalf of the board, super-intendent Tim Onsager and the district’s director of business services. “Stu-dents attending Wisconsin public schools, and more specifically, the Stoughton Area School District, will not be well served by the decision.”

The two-page le t te r recounts measures the dis-trict has already taken to be financially efficient, including the closure of Yahara Elementary School several years ago, reduc-tions in staff and pro-grams and changes to staff insurance benefits. It also underscored that Stough-ton is one of the lowest funded school districts in Dane County by rev-enue limit and that voters have already backed an

operational and a debt ref-erendum in 2010.

“We are concerned , however, that ongoing reductions from the state, increased mandates with-out financial support to implement them, or rev-enue limit increases that don’t keep up with the pace of inflation will make it impossible to maintain critical programs and ser-vices for our children,” the letter said.

Tarpinian said Monday night that school districts have been growing bolder in the face of proposals that include expanding voucher programs and freezes in spending limits for public schools. In her re-election bid, she also talked about heightening public aware-ness of how such initia-tives mean less money for public schools like Stough-ton. The school board ear-lier this year approved a resolution of support for state Superintendent Tony Evers’ school f inance reform plan.

Gov. Scott Walker ear-lier this year proposed a budget wi th modest increases in school funding but no increases in pub-lic schools’ spending lim-its – a scenario that would translate into some tax relief for property owners but no increase in funding for schools. Some Republi-can lawmakers have balked at that freeze and said they would push for some increase in schools’ rev-enue limit.

Walker has also pro-posed an expansion of the state’s voucher program, while the Stoughton school board in its letter said there is “much evidence show-ing voucher/choice schools have not been proven to increase student achieve-ment.”

In other business Mon-day n ight , the school board reviewed, but took

no action on, a set of meal price and fee increases. Those proposed increases are expected to return to the board for a vote on April 22.

The district’s finance committee has also rec-ommended raising lunch fees from $2.05 to $2.10 for elementary school stu-dents, from $2.20 to $2.25 for the middle school and from $2.25 to $2.30 for the high school. Break-fast prices would jump from $1.20 to $1.30 for the elementary school and from $1.35 to $1.45 for the middle and high schools. Current milk and adult meal prices would remain unchanged.

The meal pr ices are determined by the federal government, Erica Pickett, the district’s director of business services, told the board Monday night.

The district finance com-mittee has also recom-mended several other fee increases, including:

• A 15-cent an hour increase in pool employee wages, which currently range from $7.75 per hour for many lifeguard posi-tions to $11.50 for a head l i feguard. The distr ict annually reviews those wages.

• Various increases in hourly rental fees for the elementary school gyms and the high school gym, cafetorium and auditorium.

• A 25-cent increase in swimming lessons fee to recoup the cost of moving to an online payment sys-tem and the pool employee wage increase. Lessons currently cost $5 apiece for residents and $7 for non-residents.

Those increases also must be approved by the board to take effect.

I am deeply gratifi ed to have been re-elect-ed to a 2nd term on the Stoughton School

Board. I vow to continue to work hard toward doing what’s right for the kids and their families in this district while being

mindful of the needs of all stakeholders.Sincerely,

Opinion

While you can’t control your genetic risks, what you put into your

body can really decrease your odds of heart disease.

Your heart’s health is con-nected to your fork. A person’s biggest concern should really be how much sat-urated fat they are consuming.

Saturated fat is a compo-nent of plaque which clogs up your arteries and contributes to heart dis-ease. A Medi-terranean diet is recommended because it’s low in red meat which contains lots of saturated fat. Instead of red meat, choose lean poultry with the skin removed and low-fat dairy. The Mediterranean diet is high in plant-based foods with lots of grains, fruits and vegetables. It’s basically the American diet turned upside-down.

It’s not that Americans don’t want to lead healthy lives. With busy schedules, often the fastest and sometimes cheapest option is to choose fried, fatty foods from the fast-food dollar menu.

Take breakfast for instance. A lot of people have bacon and eggs or stop at a drive thru or convenience store for a quick grab. But a healthier choice that follows the Mediterranean diet would be shredded wheat with skim milk and fruit on top or low-fat yogurt with frozen berries - so it’s essentially mak-ing healthy choices as the day

progresses.And if you don’t have the

time to sit at home and eat, make sure those healthy foods are convenient. Keep pretzels or raisins in the car. It’s a much healthier option to tide you over than French fries. And when it comes to meals, take time to plan out what you’ll eat a week in advance so you’re not scram-bling to find whatever’s conve-nient at eight o’clock at night.

Make planning your weekly menu like the laundry or dishes. You know you have to do these things and you plan ahead to make sure they get done. Choose those healthy meals in advance so the food is already in your home.

Sometimes a lifestyle change can seem overwhelming. Start by making just a few changes at a time to get this process started and once you start, you’ll feel so much better you won’t want to stop.

So what are the three top changes you can make to reduce your risk of heart disease?

1. View cheese as meat. A lot of people look to it as a dairy product, but it has so much of the artery-clogging saturated fat, you should really view it as a meat. When indulging in cheese, choose reduced-fat/low-fat/light cheese whenever possible.

2. Cut out or cut down on the amount of red meat you eat. The Mediterranean diet calls for red meat just one to two times a month. If you’re eating that many servings in a week or even a day, slowly decrease the amount you eat from once a day

to once a week and then once or twice a month.

3. Finally, incorporate as many fruits and vegetables into your day as possible. This will mean you’re getting more fiber, you’re getting a wide variety of vitamins and minerals and you’re satisfying your hunger cravings. As a result, you’ll feel fuller and you won’t want to eat as much of those high fat, high sugar foods.

And for those who think they’ll never be affected by the number one killer, they’re fool-ing themselves. Heart disease is extremely unfair. It randomly picks its prey and often picks on the person who eats poorly and smokes. That’s why you have to recognize your own bad habits and change them because heart disease can strike anyone at any age.

Letters to the editor

Spring is here in StoughtonA fresh start for all that is in

God’s creation. Now that I’ve lived 78 years in

Stoughton, I feel blessed to soon celebrate my 60 years since I graduated from high school.

When I delivered the Capital Times evening newspaper as a child, I had so many good Stough-ton people on my route. I don’t know of a single person on that route that is still living today - but of course, many of their descen-dants are very much alive.

Stoughton was a vibrant com-munity in my childhood days. Downtown was a busy place with a dozen or more grocery stores, barber shops, dime stores, ice cream and soda fountain, drug stores and many more specialty shops - including a meat market. Our population was 5,000 at that time - compared to almost 13,000 on today’s signs at the edges of our city.

Stoughton was a nice place to live - just as today Stoughton is a nice place to live. God has blessed both Stoughton and myself for reasons that may never be com-pletely understood. But I’m glad God did.

In my childhood, we had a won-derful school system, and today we have one, too. Our city gov-ernment was honest and approach-able, just as it is today. I’ve been blessed by Stoughton Hospital and its staff.

It’s no wonder why people and families find Stoughton a good place to live.

God has been merciful and for-giving to me in all ways. God bas made my sunset years very happy ones in Stoughton. I’m thankful for all my true friends.

May the spirit of love and for-giveness dwell in each and every-one of use as spring comes forth with its promise of new life and rebirth and its array of color and fresh, sweet smells.

Know God is still on his throne - seeking only to love mankind and bless all who will trust him. Trust and love God today - Jesus will give all who ask - peace and eternal life has He promised in his word (the Bible) John 3:16. Look it up and be blessed.

Members of the Stoughton High School Forensics team gather after winning the Badger South Conference tournament last month, the second straight year the team has captured that honor. The team will compete in two statewide tournaments on April 19 and 20.

Forensics team heads to state againBy Derek SpellmanUnified Newspaper Group

Stoughton High School will again be sending a full varsity team to the state tournament this year.

It’s the third straight year that has happened, said Mary Lusk, an SHS lan-guage arts teacher and a Forensics Team coach.

“SHS Forensics has won ‘The Excellence in Speech Award’ the past 2 years,” Lusk wrote in an email to the Hub. “This is given to the teams that have the best

average scores. It is only given to the top 5 percent, so out of about 400 schools c o m p e t i n g , a b o u t 1 7 schools receive the award. We are hoping for a repeat this year!”

This year, the team will be sending 36 students (a full varsity team of 25 entries) to the Wisconsin High School State Forensics tournament on April 19 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Last year, it sent 41 students.

The school’s forensics team has enjoyed success in recent years to go along

with growth in numbers. Five years ago, the team

only had nine players. That number has since grown in part because full-time teach-ers have helped coach the squad and thus been able to recruit students and promote the program inside the high school halls.

Forensics in this case does not pit students against each other in debates. Instead, students participate in cat-egories that include poetry, recreating a scene from a

play, extemporaneous and informative speaking, and more. Judges then score their performance against certain criteria.

Also later this month, the SHS Forensics team will compete in a separate state tournament hosted by Wis-consin Forensic Coaches Association on April 20 at Ripon. The team competed in that same tournament last year.

has earned the organiza-tion’s top honor, accord-ing to a news release.

Girl Scout Dorie Jans-sen, Troop 2635, recently earned the p r e s t i -gious Girl Scout Gold A w a r d , t h e h i g h -est nation-a l a w a r d a G i r l Scou t can earn, for a research project she did to promote better female relationships by curbing unkind and competitive behavior between girls, the release said.

“I want to help upcom-ing generations of girls learn to be strong, kind and to leave behind the competition that happens between girls,” Janssen said in that release.

Janssen in te rv iewed high school and college female students to bet-ter unders tand female b u l l y i n g a n d o t h e r

negative behaviors, and her findings centered on unhealthy competitions and expecta t ions . She then created resources, including a website and a resource brochure, which was sen t to a l l Dane County middle and high school guidance counsel-ors and public libraries, to help women gener-ate respectful attitudes toward one another.

Janssen, who has been a Girl Scout for 13 years, was presented her Gold Award during a recogni-tion ceremony this spring. Janssen a lso rece ived 2013 Loretta Himmels-bach Scholarship, pre-sented annually to a high-achieving Gold Awardee w h o d e m o n s t r a t e s a s t rong commitment to community service and education while uphold-ing the Girl Scout Prom-ise and Law, the release said.

Nationwide, less than 5 percent of Girl Scouts achieve the Gold Award.

11 a.m. Bible study

The Human ConditionThe Bible provides us with many good

examples of humanity. Adam, Moses, and Jesus are archetypes of humanity. But, it is

also true that being human is radically differ-ent now than it was in Biblical times. Culture and technology have changed us to such an extent that being human in the modern world is fundamentally different than it was in the ancient world, or even a few hundred years

ago. Our species may not have changed much in terms of biology, but in terms of

psychology and culture, the differences are vast. This goes beyond such superficial ques-tions as whether Jesus would have a Twitter account or a Facebook page were he alive today. Part of what defines us as human is

that we are cultural beings. That is, we grow up within a culture and that particular culture is grafted onto us. This is one of the reasons why the humanities are important as an area of study. They help us to understand what it is to be human. Works of fiction are some-times denigrated by those with a practical bent, but good fiction is often an explora-tion of what it is like to be a human being.

Humanity is constantly reinventing itself, all the while questioning the implications of that

reinvention. One reason to study the Bible is because it gives a number of very deep

answers to the question of what it means to be human.

“No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to

search it out, no one can discover its mean-ing. Even if the wise claim they know, they

cannot really comprehend it.”Ecclesiastes 8:17

century. “I would say it’s the dif-

ference between Earth and Mars,” Wendt said.

100 yearsTrue, a century ago kids

still went to agriculture classes indoors and had textbooks.

But in years past, the coursework focused on crop and livestock produc-tion and the mechanical aspect of farming, such as carpentry and metalwork-ing, Wendt said.

Today , s choo l s l i ke Stoughton offer special-ized semester courses in agriculture, said Darlene Arneson, an alumna of the Stoughton FFA and ag in the classroom coordina-tor and foundation director at Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation.

Today , s tuden t s can learn not only about ani-mal management but also about landscaping and natural resources manage-ment. When River Bluff Middle School overhauled its schedule in part to offer more electives, it cleared the way for Wendt to teach an animal science course and a natural resources class that focuses on how to help planet Earth, he said.

The students don’t have to be in FFA, the student agriculture organization, to take these kinds of classes, Wendt said.

“It could just be an inter-est of theirs, a hobby,” he added.

And compare the agricul-ture-related career oppor-tunities students faced 100 years ago to the ones they face now, Wendt said, including genetics, hunting and fishing, parks and wild-life oversight, food pack-aging and processing, and water quality management.

“It’s all agriculture,” Wendt said. “There are so many other offshoots to it.”

More students show an interest in agriculture partly because of the recession; agriculture weathered the downturn better than oth-er industries, he said, and there is “a big demand for people in agriculture train-ing.”

Indeed, a 2010 study by Purdue University and the U.S. Department of Agri-cul ture forecasted that 54,000 agriculture-related jobs would be created in the U.S. every year through 2015, whether in the fields of food, renewable energy and the environment.

Arneson said about 10 percent of the Wisconsin work force is employed in agriculture.

“We can’t fill enough positions with qualified people,” she said.

Modernity and tradition

Some things have defi-nitely changed in agricul-ture over the last 100 years.

Today, farming uses technology such as robot-ics, satellites and computers for crop and livestock pro-duction.

A century ago, a farm-er could feed himself or

herself and five others. Now, Wendt said, a farmer can feed himself or herself and 155 other people.

And things have changed w i t h S t o u g h t o n H i g h School’s agriculture class-es, too.

Wendt said the agricul-ture education program started in the 1912-1913 school year with a $250 grant from the state of Wis-consin. (The Stoughton chapter of the FFA would come later, in 1938.) At one time, the ag program was housed in just one room at the high school.

Today, the school’s agri-culture education class has not only a classroom but also a greenhouse and a laboratory stocked with young ducks, snakes, rab-bits, birds, a turtle and a tarantula. Students here can learn how to care for small or exotic animals and to rear plants.

For those who want to be more deeply involved, there is also the local chapter of the FFA, the national youth organization that previously was known as the Future Farmers of America. The organization started refer-ring to itself as FFA, Wendt said, in part to reflect that its members not only go on to be farmers but also enter a variety of agriculture-related fields.

“The FFA just kind of complements that (agricul-ture education) with all the leadership opportunities,” said Arneson, who is the secretary of the Stoughton FFA Alumni Association.

FFA members learn not only about farming but also acquire skills in other areas, such as leadership and pub-lic speaking. Wendt said the group participates in about 60 activities throughout the year, everything from fairs to highway cleanup.

“It’s a wide range,” SHS junior Mitch Zangl, the cur-rent vice president of the Stoughton FFA chapter, said of the group’s activi-ties. “Anything that relates to agriculture.”

Stoughton will celebrate two milestones – the cen-tennial of its agriculture education program and the 75th anniversary of the Stoughton FFA chapter – with an open house, social and banquet on Saturday at the high school.

FFA is a family affair for the Arnesons. Both Darlene Arneson and her husband went through the program. So did their three children.

“It just gives these kids so many opportunities … and (teaches) the importance of volunteering and commu-nity service,” she said.

Baseball

Expectations high on the ball diamondAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

Head coach Jeremy Dunni-hoo is in his second year with the Stoughton baseball team, and he said the expectations are even higher this year.

Following an 8-4 season in the Badger South Conference to finish tied for second, Dun-nihoo said the Vikings should contend for the title won by Milton a year ago.

But he also sees the Vikings as a legitimate contender to come out of the sectional and into the WIAA Division 1

state tournament. “We return a solid group

Anthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

Young doesn’t always mean inex-perienced, and that is the case for the 2013 Stoughton girls track team.

The Vikings have several sophomores and juniors that played significant roles last season en route to a second straight Badger South Confer-ence championship.

With the young core primed to improve and the upperclassman taking leadership roles, it seems as though 2013 could be the year of the 3-peat.

“The team has set goal of obtaining a third conference title, and I firmly believe that should be an expectation as well,” head coach Eric Benedict said. “It’s going to take the whole team to help us win the conference title since we lack a 40-point athlete like Brianna Bower in 2011.

“We set a goal to constantly get better every week with the idea that we will achieve the best marks/

jumps/times at the conference meet in mid May.”

But the Vikings were without an athlete such as Bower last season too and yet they were able to use their depth to grab as many points as

possible en route to the 2012 crown.

Field events have been some of the best for Stough-

ton in the past few seasons, and this season looks to remain on

that level.Sophomore Hannah Posick returns

to the pole vault, after finishing eighth at sectionals last season. She replaces graduate Ashley Alme, who made state, as the No. 1 vaulter on the team.

Senior Haley Houser returns after making state in the shot put last sea-son. She also finished fourth in the discus at sectionals, an event she advanced to state in as a sophomore.

Sophomore Alexus Crockett will also take part in both the shot put and the discus this season.

On the jumps, sophomore Megan

Reese looks to better her sectional finishes from a year ago. She tied for fourth in the long jump and took sixth in the triple jump.

Junior Maren Schultz will also be doing the triple this season, as well as the high jump. Sophomore Kezia Miller returns to take part in the long jump.

The relay teams also look to con-tinue past successes, with the entire state-qualifying 4x800-meter and sectional qualifying 4x400-meter relay teams returning.

Senior Devan Montgomery, junior Katherine Rude, sophomore Kelsey Jenny and sophomore Nikki Staffen all led the 4x8 to state last season, while junior Hannah Sonsalla, Jenny, Montgomery and Reese took fourth in the 4x4 at sectionals in 2012.

Staffen also brings back some distance accolades. She made state in the 1,600-meter run after a first-place finish at sectionals, and she added a fifth-place at sectionals in the 800-meter run.

Sonsalla brings back some

sprinting experience with a state berth in the 200-meter dash after tak-ing third at sectionals.

Finally on the hurdles, senior Avery Jamison took sixth in the 100-meter intermediate hurdles, while sophomore Alexa Deutsch grabbed fifth in the 300-meter low hurdles at sectionals.

Conference outlookThe Vikings look to win their third

straight title this year, but Madison Edgewood and Monona Grove and Oregon also look to be tough, Bene-dict said.

Some key dates in the season are: vs. Fort Atkinson and Monroe at Fort Atkinson High School (April 16), vs. Milton (April 23), at Fort Atkinson (April 26), at Monona Grove (April 30), Stoughton invitational (May 3), vs. Fort Atkinson and Oregon (May 7), Oregon invitational (May 10) and the Badger South Conference meet (4 p.m. May 14).

All meets besides the conference meet are at 4:30 p.m.

Boys golf

Vikings aim for conference title with four returnersAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

The Stoughton boys golf team has come close to catching Madison Edgewood atop the Bad-ger South Conference in the past, but none were closer than last season’s second-place finish.

With four return-ing letterwinners, including senior No. 1 Henry Klongland, head coach Dave Taebel said the expectations are high.

“The conference will be tough, but we hope to put ourselves in position to win the title at the conference meet,” Taebel said.

Klongland returns after finishing tied for second at the WIAA Division 1 state meet last season.

“Having Klongland lead-ing the way is not a bad place to start,” Taebel said. “He has been real impres-sive in the couple of times we have gotten on the course, and I think his intense offseason train-ing regimen will pay divi-dends.”

Seniors Peter Campbell and Anders Tiffany and junior Max Fergus all saw time on the course for the varsity squad.

“Fergus is someone who showed some great play in flashes last year, and I know he will be a little more con-sistent this year,” Taebel said. “... Anders Tiffany and Peter Campbell also have a ton of potential and experience so we look to them to provide some solid play for us as well.”

Vikings volley for top three finishTeam gets younger with 25 freshmanJeremy Jones

Sports editor

Stoughton boys tennis finished last out of the seven teams in the Badger South Conference dual meet season a year ago.

Though the Vikings eventually moved into a sixth-place tie after adding in the scores from the Badger Conference meet, head coach Ryan Reischel has much loftier goals this season.

With seven of 10 varsity spots return-ing from a year ago, Reischel foresees the Vikings contending for a top three finish within the conference this season.

“Madison Edgewood lost a lot of talent, but they’ll reload and be tough again,” he said. “Oregon has some talented singles players and Milton always seems to put together a strong team.

“With the depth we have this year, I think we can sneak in there somewhere this season though, or at least take fourth, if we happen to have a bad match along the way.”

Stoughton returns three of its singles flights from last season, though the lineup won’t look very familiar to start the season.

Senior Elijah Thunell and junior Tanner Kahl will switch spots atop the Vikings’ singles lineup.

Playing last season at No. 2 singles, Kahl was one of eight varsity players to improve their game by hitting over the winter. As such, he will take over at No. 1 singles this season.

“Tanner really upped his game over the winter, Reischel said. “He has been doing


The S tough ton boys track and field team loses a lot from last season, but it also adds depth with 25 incoming freshman and 63 total athletes.

“ In ou r f i r s t i ndoor meets, we had two play-ers place in the top eight for shot put … the first time that’s happened since I took the head coaching job,” head coach Nate Nel-son said. “We also have

depth at sprints, horizontal jumps and distance, and they showed in the indoor meets that they can com-

pete.”Gradua t e s Zach

Logan finished second at sectionals in the high jump to make state, and he looks to make it back this

season.Logan also made state

with the 4x400-meter relay but is the only returner from the group.

The Vikings also gradu-ated Patrick Lessor, a sec-tional qualifier.

The 4x800 relay was a sectional qualifier last sea-son, but the only returners are senior Jacob Roe and sophomore John McCune.

Senior Shane Rowley looks to replace Hershey in the sprints (100, 200),

Softball Tennis: Seven of 10 return

from last season

Barhke takes reins of young squad


The Stoughton varsity softball players and coaches (front, from left) are: Mckenzie Harnack, Mackenzie Quale, Suzy Brickson and Holly Brickson; (middle) Casey Beckwith, Sarah Seaton, Amy Hansen, Allie Moe, Samantha Tepp and Katie Marshall; (back) assistant coach Nikki Blum, pitching coach Ron Blum, Bethany Veum, Payton Gross, Cassie Adams, Emily Auby, Madi Sehmer and head coach Steve Bahrke.

Jeremy JonesSports editor

Steve Barhke has 20 years of coaching experi-ence and a year of Stough-ton JV coaching, but this season marks his first as Stough-ton varsity softball coach.

A JV assis tant with the Vikings a year ago, Bahrke inherits a young team looking to make some noise, while the coaching staff is looking to instill a new philosophy.

“Overall, we are young and determined to make a difference in the Bad-ger South Conference,” Bahrke said. “As a new coaching staff, we will be looking to our return-ing players for their team leadership and winning attitude this season.”

Since day one, Bahrke has instilled two things to his team: all positions are up for grabs and every-thing the team does, they do together.

Though he added that s e n i o r p i t c h e r C a s e y Beckwith, senior short-s top Emi ly Auby and junior Mckenzie Harnack all figure to be center-pieces for the Vikings this season.

S o p h o m o r e S a r a h

Seaton and Beckwith fig-ure to once again give Stoughton one of the top pitching duos within the Badger South Conference.

Freshman Holly Brick-son wi l l a l so see

time in the circle, Bahrke said.

Auby f igures to again be the team’s shortstop, but beyond that

everything is up in the air.

Senior Amy Hansen (IF), juniors Suzy Brick-son (OF), Cassie Adams ( 1 B / O F ) , M a c k e n z i e Quale (OF), Payton Gross (INF/OF), Allie Moe and Bethany Veum (OF) lead a solid group of returners.

S o p h o m o r e s M a d i Sehmer and Katelyn Mar-shall, as well as freshman Samantha Tepp, also bring an influx of young talent. They all should be in the mix for playing time.

“Our goal is to play fun-damentally sound softball on a consistent basis and compete at a high level with emphasis on growth and maturi ty,” Bahrke said.

Bahrke said the girls have responded to a new coaching staff and change in regime very well so far.

“Strength and condi-tioning is going to be very important to us this year,”

Bahrke said. “We want to be as strong in the first inning as the seventh.

“We’re going to build toward that goal together as a program.”

Once again the Badger South should be one of the toughest conferences in the state, Bahrke said.

“We all have to play and compete at a high level in

order to stay on top,” he added.

Stoughton opened the season Tuesday at non-conference Sauk Prairie.

The Vikings, which was 2-10 in the conference last season, are scheduled to open the Badger South season at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at home against rival Oregon.

Some other key dates include: vs. Fort Atkin-son (April 18), vs. Mon-roe (April 23), at Monona Grove (April 25), vs. Mil-ton (April 30), vs. Madi-son Edgewood (May 3), at Oregon (May 7) and at Fort Atkinson (May 10).

All the games are at 5 p.m.

Fort Atkinson won the conference with an 11-1 record in 2012.

a real nice job of stepping into his approach shots and following into the net behind them. It’s something you don’t see enough of in high school tennis.”

T h u n e l l m e a n w h i l e , moves back to No. 2 singles, while Matthew Gharrity steps in at No. 3 singles.

Freshman Asher McMul-lin is expected to step in at No. 4 singles.

“Asher has some nice, fluid strokes, but is still raw coming in as a f r e s h m a n , ” R e i s c h e l said.

Sen io r s John Evans and Justin “Bubba” Shaffer are back for their final go round at No. 1 doubles.

The only Vikings to enter last season’s Badger Confer-ence boys tennis tournament at Nielsen Tennis Stadium with a seed Evans and Jus-tin Shaffer managed just one win, defeating Oregon’s Nick Hepner and Alexan-der Nasserjah in the rub-ber match, 6-3, 6-2 at No. 1 doubles. Evans and Shaffer though faced a tall order in the quarterfinals falling 6-1, 6-2 to third-seeded Justin Couey and Dave VanVeen of McFarland.

“One dubs, just like our 1 and 2 singles spots, should also do very well for us,” Reischel said. “They’ve been playing varsity for a long time.”

Reischel also liked what he saw from his 2 doubles team of senior Manuel Calzada and junior Aus-tin Scheel last Thursday at Madison La Follette.

“Austin is an even-keeled player, who just picked up the sport last season,” said Reischel, who hopes the tandem can develop a nice game together around the

experience of Calzada.Thunell, Shaffer, Evans

and Calzada are the only four seniors on the team.

Three doubles remains up for grabs, though junior Isaac Landers has shown himself to be an early front-runner.

“Isaac is really athletic, having played soccer,” Reischel said. “He’s raw, having only started playing

tennis las t year, but h e ’ s a q u i c k learner.”

S t o u g h -ton h i t s i t s first shot of t h e c o n f e r -

ence season at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at home against Monona Grove. The Vikings host the Stoughton Invitational at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, May 4, before traveling to Oregon at 4:30 p.m. May 7 and then hosting Madison Edgewood the following Friday to closeout the dual meet sea-son.

The Crusaders , who advanced all the way to the state team tournament, grad-uated seven state qualifiers from a year ago, including eventually doubles state champions Ben Winding and Tyler Piddington, No. 1 singles player Patrick Car-ney and Zach Munns.

Edgewood, however , should be able to reload behind the talents of return-ing state qualifier Billy O’Brien , a sophomore singles player, and Patrick McKenna, who along with Barney went 24-3 last sea-son.

Oregon’s ability to con-tend for a conference title this season will start with its singles lineup where the Panthers return all four start-ers, who advanced into the conference semifinal round last year.

All meets besides the conference meet are at 4:30 p.m.

Boys track


It had been a while since the Stoughton gir ls soccer team won a Badger South Conference match, going 0-11-1 in 2010 and 2011.

Last year, that winless streak ended with a win over Monona Grove. Stoughton also doubled its win total from the previous year (7-15 overall, 1-5 conference).

This season, head coach Dave Wermuth said he expects the Vikings to once again improve and possibly win a few more con-ference games.

That success starts in the net with senior goalie Steph Mysz-kowski.

Myszkowski kept Stoughton in several games last season picking up 150 saves (.930 save percent-age) while allowing .63 goals per game.

Stoughton does lose graduated defender Layne Jackson, forward/midfielders Rachel Ott and Carrie Ripkey, but the Vikings do have junior forward/midfielder Hayley Bach back to take on some of the offensive load.

Bach finished with seven goals and five assists (19 points) last season.

Senior forward Amanda Hoff only scored one goal last season, but she is expected to get more minutes this year to help the scor-ing. Sophomore forward Celia Holton expects to add depth at the position.

Junior defenders Sydney Rais-beck and Hailey Everson are also expected to get more minutes to replace Jackson, while sophomore

defender Mara Nelson joins varsity to help out, as well.

Sen io r m id f i e lde r Nisrine Taamallah and junior midfielder Ser-ena Schimelphenig both had minutes on the field last year.

Conference outlookStoughton will not have an

easy time in the conference with

defending champion Ore-gon returning all but three players and Mad-ison Edgewood and Monona Grove set to be much improved.

Some key games for Stoughton are: at Mil-

ton (7 p.m. April 11) vs. Monona Grove (7 p.m. April

18), at Madison Edgewood (at 7 p.m. April 23) and vs. Oregon (7 p.m. May 9).

School/Sport: UW-Madison/Distance runnerYear: seniorStoughton grad: 2009Major: Dietetics

Stoughton graduate Kiah Ehrke has been a distance runner at the Univer-sity of Wisconsin- Madison after com-ing out of the Stoughton High School program in 2009.

Ehrke recently answered a question-naire for the Courier Hub about her time at UW-Madison.

Here are her answers:

CH – You had several options before you after high school. What made you settle on UW?

KE – I visited numerous colleges in the Midwest but ultimately Madison was the right fit for me.

I loved the atmosphere of the city, the academics, my teammates, coaches and being so close to home.

CH – As a four-time state qualifier in both track and cross country in high school, what has the transition been like to a major D I college?

KE – The transition was pretty shock-ing at first. My workouts didn’t even compare to my workouts in high school.

My mileage increased and the pace of daily runs was much faster. What was called an “easy” run did not feel easy. I did adjust, but it took some time.

I felt as if every day I was proving myself, having to earn that spot on the bus or flight to the next meet. But that’s what was awesome about it.

The atmosphere on the team was something I never had before. I loved having the opportunity to run with girls every day that were better than me.

CH – You didn’t compete during the 2010 cross country season or 2012 indoor track season. Was that a result of injuries? What was the extent of the injuries?

KE – The summer after my freshman year I had a stress fracture in my femo-ral neck (hip area).

This was the first time since I started running (7th grade) that I was sidelined with an injury. It was devastating, and it took a good six months to recover. I redshirted my sophomore year of cross country due to that.

I’ve had a couple minor injuries since then. What I’ve learned is that the most important thing for me is just to stay healthy. When running at a high-level, Division 1 University, inju-ries are very common. Being injured has taught me so much and made me so much more appreciative of the experience I’ve had.

I’m so thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to compete at a high level and be a part of a great team. It has given me so many opportunities and memories.

CH – Wisconsin finished 12th in the final Terry Crawford Program of the Year Award standings after putting together a strong year from cross country to indoor track and field to outdoor track and field. What does this say about the state of the program and the direction coach Jim Stintzi has things going?

New coach, high expectationsWollin takes over for father to become third SHS lacrosse coachJeremy JoneSSports editor

Stoughton’s boys lacrosse program has come a long way from a team that was barely able to field 10 starters its first season in 2002.

A co-op with Oregon for two seasons, lacrosse became a school sport for the first time in 2012 before going on to finish the year right around the .500 mark.

Looking for a new coach at that time, Stoughton turned to former player Josh Wollin.

Now fielding a JV, varsity and youth team that are show-ing “tremendous growth,” Wollin said “we have very high expectations for our var-sity team this year, as I expect

Stoughton to go the farthest we have ever gone in the state tournament.”

Stoughton, which opened its season Saturday as the var-sity lost 11-6 to Mukwonago, while the JV team lost 7-6 in overtime, is believed to have only ever won one game in the tournament before being eliminated.

The Vikings will have to wait to build a rivalry with this season’s newly created Oregon boys lacrosse program as Tuesday’s game was post-poned to Thursday, May 2.

“This spring has been very frustrating, not being able to get outside for practice or games,” senior Tom Wisersky said.

A few extra weeks until fac-ing the Panthers won’t do any-thing to lighten what should quickly become a hea ted rivalry.

“It will probably start out as a rivalry just between a

few players, but I think it will quickly spread across both teams,” Bryce Vike said. “We definitely want to run up the score on them.”

Start ing out just over a decade ago, the Vikings’ fielded only a JV team that first season, not because of lack of numbers but a lack of experienced placers.

Numbers that first season were still pretty low, though, as athletes had to take turns playing defense or attack just so they could rest.

Interest has increased as several players have been drawn from other sports or are using the “fastest game on two feet” to stay in shape for other sports.

“Playing 10 seconds out of every game in baseball was getting boring,” Vike said. “Lacrosse is non-stop.”

As a result, conditioning is a big part of the sport.

“ Y o u ’ r e c o n s t a n t l y

starting and stopping – back and forth,” Vike added.

A Vikings football player, senior Zander Gunderson said he liked the physical nature of lacrosse and that his time in the weight room serves dual purpose.

That’s what led Wollin to the sport back in 2005.

“(Coach) Mike Dryer was my football coach at the time and was trying to get me to do something in the offsea-son,” Wollin recounted. “He intrigued me right off the bat.”

Having only a JV team at that point, Wollin started out playing alongside Sanford Erdahl, a goalie, who started the previous year and is now his assistant coach with the Vikings.

Josh led the team in scor-ing during the 2007 season under the direction of his father, David, before injuring his knee and missing all of his senior year.

Vikes split two games amid postponementsAntHony IozzoAssistant sports editor

The early spring weather has not been kind to many area teams, but the Stoughton boys baseball team was able to get out and play twice last week.

In doing so, the Vikings split games against non-conference Madison Memorial last Satur-day and against DeForest Monday.

Stoughton’s other scheduled games were against Milton last Thursday and against Sauk Prairie Tuesday. Both games were postponed.

There were no makeup dates by the Courier Hub’s deadline Tuesday.

Stoughton (1-1) hosts Madison Edgewood at 5 p.m. Thursday in the first Badger South Conference game of the season, and it travels to Reedsburg for a doubleheader at 3 p.m. Sat-urday.

The Vikings host Janesville Craig at 5 p.m.

Monday and travel to Oregon at 5 p.m. Tues-day to take on Badger South rival Oregon.

Madison Memorial 8, Stoughton 4Stoughton hosted Madison Memorial last

Saturday in the first game of the season, and there was a little rust after outside practices were cut short in the spring due to unfavorable field conditions.

The Vikings fell 8-4 with four of the runs unearned due to five errors.

Stoughton cut the lead to 5-3, but it was unable to hold the Spartans in the top of the seventh. Madison Memorial added three runs in the final inning.

The Spartans opened the game with five runs.

Senior Dane Schultz got the start and allowed five runs, one earned, on one hit in four innings. He struck out three and walked two.

Junior P.J. Rosowski came in to relieve Schultz. He allowed three earned runs on six hits in three innings. He struck out three and walked one.

Senior Tony Volk was the leading hitter for Stoughton. Volk went 2-for-3 with a double.

Stoughton 5, DeForest 2The Vikings bounced back Monday with a

5-2 win over DeForest. Stoughton jumped out to a 5-0 lead through

four innings and allowed two runs in the sev-enth.

Senior Ben Gerber was 3-for-4 with a triple. Junior Zach Nyhagen was 2-for-3 and Roso-wski was 2-for-3 with a double. Volk added a double.

Sophomore Cade Bunnell picked up the win. He went six innings and allowed no runs on four hits. He struck out six and walked five.

KE – Our team is making great strides. We have a very strong cross country and track team.

The coaching staff individualizes every-one’s training to work best for them and shows us how to come together as a team and perform to our potential.

The hard work, good coaching and team camaraderie help propel our team forward.

CH – What has been your favorite moment/accomplishment in both track and cross country at UW?

KE – My freshman year, overall, stands out for me.

I was awarded All - Region in cross coun-try at regionals freshman year (top 25).

For track, my biggest accomplishment was placing 12th in the 10K at Big Tens. That race also stands out to me because I’ve never

felt so much pain in a race before.

CH – Besides track and cross country, are you involved in any other clubs or groups at UW?

KE – I’m involved in the Dietetics and Nutrition Club. I also volunteer at various organizations through that.

CH – With graduation right around the corner, what are you planning to do after school?

KE – I’m staying for a fifth year to complete my eligibility for cross country and track, but once I graduate, I’m planning on doing a one-year dietetics internship so I can be a Registered Dietitian.

I would also love to continue running – but probably much less intense. I’m look-ing forward to running 1/2 and full mara-thons.

Track and field

Vikings field four top-20 finishesAntHony IozzoAssistant sports editor

With over 100 schools and plenty of WIAA state caliber competition, the Stoughton boys and girls track team entered Saturday’s W/TFA State Indoor Championships at the University of Wis-consin-Whitewater as underdogs.

But there were some successes, includ-ing four top-20 finishes for the girls and a top-30 finisher for the boys.

The boys and girls were also supposed to travel to Portage for their first outdoor meet Tuesday for the Badger Challenge, but the meet was postponed due to rain.

It is set to be made up on May 15.Both the boys and girls play at 4:30

p.m. Thursday at DeForest and at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Fort Atkinson to play the Blackhawks and Monroe.

Girls trackThe Lady Vikings excelled in field

events Saturday at the W/TFA champion-ships.

Sophomore Hannah Posick finished the highest with a 12th place in the pole vault, reaching 9 feet. Senior Haley Houser also took a 12th place. She threw for a distance of 34-10 1/2 in the shot put.

Junior Maren Schultz grabbed a 17th-place finish in the high jump, reaching 4-10.

The other finish in the top 20 was sopho-more Hannah Sonsalla, who took 16th in

the 400-meter dash. Sonsalla finished with a time of 1 minute, 2.9 seconds.

Sophomore Kezia Miller and sophomore Alexus Crockett finished in the top 30. Miller finished 27th in the long jump (14-4 1/4), while Crockett was 29th in the shot put (32-7 3/4).

Sophomore Megan Reese and Schultz grabbed the next best finishes. They took 30th and 31st, respectively, in the triple jump.

Reese had a distance of 31-6 1/2, while Schultz reached 31-5 3/4.

The other top 50 finishes included the 4x200 relay (Miller, Reese, Schultz and Posick) and sophomore Nikki Staffen in the 800-meter run.

The 4x2 took 33rd with a time of 1:56.58, while Staffen finished 35th in 2:32.41.

Boys trackOn the boys side, the Vikings only had

one top 30 finisher – junior River Hoaglin. Hoaglin grabbed a 28th-place finish in

the long jump with a distance of 18-2 1/2. He also took 44th in the triple jump (37-8). Jakob Benson was 48th in the triple jump (36-2).

Sophomore John McCune finished 44th in the 400 in 56.51, and he also took 55th in the 800 in 2:08.7. Senior Jacob Roe was 64th in the 800 in 2:09.56.

Santiago Sarthou was the only other Viking to make the results list. He took 54th in the 1,600 in 4:51.33.

Vikings unable to pull upset at MonroeJeremy JoneSSports editor

First-year Stoughton head softball coach Steve Bahrke were unable to open the 2013 Badger South Conference sea-son with an upset over Mon-roe.

Instead the Cheesemak-ers avenged last year’s 3-1 loss to Stoughton, defeating the Vikings 10-4 at Monroe’s Twining Park.

Stoughton jumped out of a quick 3-0 lead in the top of the first only to watch the Cheese-makers rattle off 10 runs over the first two innings.

“We had some first-game jitters, but we responded pret-ty well after those first two innings,” Bahrke said.

Junior Suzy Brickson (2-for-4) and sophomore Madi Sehmer (2-for-3) com-bined to collect four of the Vikings’ six hits. Stoughton sophomore Sarah Seaton add-ed a double.

Seaton got the start in the circle, shutdown Monroe in the third through fifth innings. Senior Casey Beckwith tossed one scoreless inning of relief.

Freye’s 1,615 votes; Sul-livan’s 1,579; Bev Fergus’ 1,446; and Scott Dirks’ 1,423.

The campaign did feature some differences among the candidates, most nota-bly on the new employee handbook that the board approved l a s t yea r to replace agreements that had been collectively bargained before new state legislation all but ended collective bar-gaining rights for most pub-lic workers. That handbook lacked some of the protec-tions sought by teachers.

But Sullivan and Freye said do not mistake differ-ences of opinion on a policy issue as symptoms of deep community divisions.

“I don’t see anything approaching a fundamental division in the community,” Sullivan said.

CommunicationIn follow-up interviews

with the Hub, the other can-didates tended to agree with that assessment.

Grasse, a veteran educa-tor with the Madison Met-ropolitan School District, said that maybe there are some differences that need to be hammered out after the new board is seated April 22 but that she also believed everyone would “come out of this in really good shape.”

The three board incum-bents argued they were outspent by well-organized c a m p a i g n s b a c k e d b y political organizations and some unions in a low turn-out election (turnout in the City of Stoughton was 20 percent).

But most of the volun-teers who helped the chal-lengers distribute campaign literature were actually friends of the candidates, while Freye wrote in an email to the Hub that the chal lengers mounted a

w e l l - o r g a -n i z e d , e n e r g e t i c c a m p a i g n that maybe “raised the bar a little in terms of the level of cam-paigning for local office. We ident i -fied our main priorities and emphasized t h e m o v e r and over, and they resonat-ed because t h e y a r e some of the issues folks are concerned about. For me specifically, I think people like the fact that I prefer listening to talking and tend to be brief and direct in answering questions.”

The incumbents a lso highlighted what others, including their challeng-ers, have said: the district needs to “sell” itself and its successes more, particu-larly with the need to boost enrollment.

The incumbents tried to highlight those successes: a new fabrication labora-tory at the high school, new online education programs, more dual credit options, good marks on the state’s new report cards and a new strategic plan.

But Dirks said the district has not done as good of a job as it can or should of trumpeting that progress.

“We have to do a better job of selling ourselves,” sa id Dirks , not ing the implications for the district if it seeks voter support for a referendum, which it is expected to do.

Handbook?Freye and Sullivan both

made work on that referen-dum part of their platform. They and Grasse also high-lighted relations with staff, particularly teachers, as

a c e n t r a l issue.

G r a s s e had argued that the new e m p l o y e e h a n d b o o k and stalled c o n t r a c t n e g o t i a -tions were causing the dis tr ic t to lose quali-f ied staff . The incum-bents dis-puted that a s s e r t i o n and defend-

ed the steps taken to solicit staff input on the handbook.

“I think it (the handbook) was a factor” in the elec-tion, Grasse said.

On the campaign trail, people were “very aware” of the difference between a contract reached by bar-gaining between both sides and a handbook, where all power vested in one side, she argued.

Tarpinian, who was first elected to the board in April 2010 with Dirks, had a dif-ferent experience.

Whenever she raised the handbook on the campaign trail, “More times than not, people would say, ‘What’s the handbook issue?’” she said.

And Tarpinian said some of the other issues raised during the campaign could pale in comparison to some of the other issues confront-ing the new school board – particularly the shortfall the district will face once the referendum backed by voters in 2010 expires next year.

ShortfallOf the issues awaiting the

new school board, few loom larger than the shortfall. The district’s most recent estimates project that would amount to $5 million next year and grow ever year

after under a worst-case scenario, although superin-tendent Tim Onsager said Monday night that any fig-ure at this point would be a “best guess” until the final state budget is passed.

The school board has not yet voted on whether to seek a referendum or discussed that prospect at length, in part because so much can depend on what happens at the state level. The board has publicly thrown its support behind school finance reform and hosted presentations about Wisconsin’s school finance system, however, as part of a broader effort to show much of school funding falls outside local control.

Dirks had said part of the problem with ramping up a referendum campaign now is that the district would not be able to answer the first and perhaps biggest ques-tion from taxpayers: how much will it cost?

Bev Fergus, who was appointed to the school board earlier this year but came up short in her bid to be elected in her own right, said “every single candidate (knew) there has to be a ref-erendum,” but speculated that perhaps the board’s “caution was interpreted as something different” during the election.

Yet even suppor te r s of the referendum have voiced fears that any mea-sure could be a tough sell in these tough economic times.

Fergus, who said she tried to steer clear of poli-tics in this election and might have paid a price for it at the polls, said failure to pass one could be devastat-ing.

“I can’t even imagine it (the referendum) not pass-ing,” she said. “We have to do that. Yikes, I don’t even want to think about the ramifications of it not get-ting passed.”

Voters pick local municipal officials

Four sitting alders were re-elected to their seats last week, but the city will likely be looking for a new alder in District 4.

District 4 was with-out a candidate seeking re-election after current alder Eric Olstad had filed for non-candidacy. That didn’t stop voters from writing his name in three times to give him a seat on the Common Council.

However, Olstad said Tuesday that he planned to not accept the seat, as he didn’t have the time to give the council his full attention.

Voters in Distr ict 1 gave Sonny Swangstu 368 votes. Ron Christianson was reelected in District 2 with 297 votes. Tom Majewski, who had failed to file for candidacy to get his name on the ballot, garnered enough write-in votes, 88, to win his seat in District 3.

Town racesA few new faces will fill

seats on local town boards following last week’s elec-tion.

In Pleasant Springs, Mary J. Haley, who pre-viously served as supervi-sor, will become the town chair.

Haley’s vacated town supervisor seat will be fil led by appointment, town clerk Cassandra Suettinger told the Hub.

D a v i d S c o t t P f e i -ffer defeated Janiece M. Bolender 225 to 191 for the first supervisor seat, which was vacated by Don

Lund, who moved to North Carolina earlier this year.

Incumbent supervisor Tom McGinnis ran unop-posed for Seat 2 and was re-elected last week.

In the Town of Dunn, newcomer Jeffery Hodg-son wil l f i l l outgoing supervisor Stanley Sol-heim’s seat. Longtime Town Chair Ed Minihan and supervisor Steve Greb will continue to serve, as well.

In Rutland, all incum-bents ran unopposed . Town Chair Dale Beske and board supervisor Mil-ton Sperle will seek new terms. Town clerk Dawn George and treasurer Kim Sime will seek the same positions.

Shawn Hillestad and Nels Wethal earned the two constable seats after running unopposed.

In Dunkirk, chair Nor-man Monsen and supervi-sors Eric Quam and Ted Olson, constable Gregory Holte and treasurer Bonnie Smithback all ran unop-posed and will serve again.

Forde to present at national conference

A University of Wiscon-sin-Platteville student from Stoughton will help present a research paper at Ameri-can National Technical Exhibition and Conference (ANTEC) in Cincinnati, Ohio, from April 22-24, according to a release from the university.

Luke Forde, a senior i n d u s t r i a l t e c h n o l o g y management major from Stoughton, will present a paper he co-authored with two other UW-Platteville students on the use of lig-nin as an environmentally friendly additive and colo-rant in polypropylene mate-rials. The other students are Bryce Blackbourn, senior industrial technology man-agement major from Shulls-burg, Wis.; and Nicholas Anderson, senior manufac-turing technology manage-ment major from Sycamore, Ill.

The university said that ANTEC is a large confer-ence with “representatives

from industries and univer-sities around the world.”

“Our students will be shoulder to shoulder with the most knowledgeable scientists in the indus-try,” Majid Tabrizi, UW-Platteville industrial stud-ies professor, said in the news release. “It’s a great achievement.”

The trio started on the project as part of their Technology Excurs ion course at UW-Platteville and then developed it fur-ther at the university’s Cen-ter for Plastics Processing Technology Lab. They first presented their project to the American Science and Technology foundation, which is currently seeking a patent for the technology.

The trio was selected to present at the ANTEC con-ference by a review board.

Forde is expected to graduate from UW-Platte-ville this year. He is also a certified firefighter with the Platteville Fire Department.

ObituariesMary Ann Anderson

M a r y A n n ( O l s o n ) Anderson, age 74, peaceful-ly passed away at her home

surrounded by her loved ones Friday, April 5, 2013.

Mary was born to Joseph and Laura (Myklejord) Olson in Stoughton Nov. 23, 1938. She l ived in Stoughton her entire life and took pride in her Nor-wegian her i tage. Mary attended Stoughton High School from 1954-57.

On August 10, 1968, Mary lovingly took Wayne D. Anderson’s hand in mar-riage. They enjoyed 45 years of marriage and loved their family l ife. They raised their daughters, Terri and Tamara, and were very proud of all their accom-pl i shments . Mary was always there when her girls came home from school and spent time talking to them about their day. She put her family first and loved being a homemaker in every sense of the word. She was an incredible teacher in the school of life. Mary loved baking and cooking for her family and took great happiness in making their birthdays a very special day. She loved the holi-days and always made them

festive. She loved to have fun and was known for her wonderful laugh. For the past 29 years, she was hon-ored to be called Grandma Mimi by her three grand-children and was the heart of her family. In 2004, they were blessed with the birth of their great-grandson, Aden Venden. With Aden came another opportunity to enjoy what a child brings to life. Mary loved her chil-dren and grandchildren unconditionally and was always the voice of reason when they were struggling with decisions. She always listened and gave advice that inspired them to do the right thing.

Mary loved camping and canoeing in the Wiscon-sin state parks and being in the outdoors. Mary and Wayne loved to take their grandchildren camping and taught them to enjoy being in nature. They loved going to Door County and enjoyed going to a fish boil. She liked to travel and enjoyed trips to several regions in the United States. In 2001, Mary traveled with her

daughter, Tamara, and her family to the Dominican Republic. It was a trip that she enjoyed, and she spoke of often sharing her wonder-ful experiences there. She truly enjoyed her trip to the Caribbean Island and loved getting to know the natives there.

In addition to her family, she enjoyed her friends. She liked going out for a meal and shopping with her best friend, Barbara Friske. They had a wonderful friendship that she cherished.

Mary enjoyed her time working for Schoonover’s Hardware Store and Tom’s Main Street Market in Stoughton. She took great pride in her work and being a part of local businesses.

Mary is survived by her loving and devoted hus-band, Wayne; her daugh-ters, Terri Venden and Tamara (Norward) Steffen; her grandchildren, Cailea (Chris Fox) Showers, Kyle Venden and Garen Showers; great-grandson, Aden Ven-den; her sister, Joan (Nor-man) Zee; her brother, Dale Sandmire; brother-in-law;

Wyman Anderson and sis-ter in laws Marlene Olson, Nancy Olson, Diane Benson as well as many nieces and nephews.

Mary was preceded in death by her daughter, Tina; her brothers, Robert, Rich-ard and David; her father, Joseph; and her beloved mother, Laura Grace Olson.

Mary loved her brothers, sister, nieces and nephews and was so proud to be part of the family that she grew up with. It gives her family great comfort that Mary is now with the people in her family that passed before her. She is surely enjoying her reunion with them.

Mary’s surviving family would like to say a heart-felt thank you to the medi-cal community for being an incredible comfort and won-derful support system. We would like to thank Agrace Hospice for making her transition what Mary wished it be.

A memorial luncheon celebrating Mary’s life is tentatively planned for May 4, 2013. Her family would love for all those interested

to come and share stories of love for Mary. It was Mary’s wish for her friends and family to come togeth-er for one last meal at her table. An announcement will be released in the near future in the Stoughton Cou-rier Hub and the Wisconsin State Journal. Cress Funeral & Cremation

Local band Pierre Knows in statewide competition

A local band is com-peting in an alternative music competition for high school students statewide.

Pierre Knows, a rock band out of Stoughton High School, is one of 15 bands selected by the Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) to take the stage in a regional competition at Sun Prairie High School on Friday, April 12 at 4 p.m. Pierre Knows is set to perform at 4:50 p.m.

The event is open to the public. Admission is $7 for adults, $6 for students and $3 for children (ages 10 and under).

At least one person from each band must be in a school music program and all members must be cur-rently enrolled in a Wis-consin high school and/or WSMA member school to qualify

The bands are each slot-ted to play the three songs from their audition record-ings.

They will be evaluated by music industry profes-sionals on their expression and creativity, technique,

time, blend, and synergy. In addition to the written evaluations, the bands will receive a private verbal critique.

The top three bands in each of the four statewide regional competitions will advance to the state finals, joined by an additional “wildcard” band select-ed out of all Launchpad entries through a world-wide voting system of lis-teners on Broadjam.com.

The finals will take place from 2 p.m. – 8 p.m. on June 8 at The Sett, located within Union South.

These 13 bands wi l l automatically qualify to participate in the Summer-fest Launchpad Regional Showcases in Milwaukee.

F o r m o r e i n f o r m a -tion on Launchpad, go to LaunchpadWisconsin.org.
