U.S. Hwy. 51
Road repairs planned to north, east

Delays, closures expected as highway gets news surface
Mark Ignatowski
Back to school
Drivers can expect travel delays as two stretches of Hwy. 51 are up for repair this month. The first section east of the city between Spring Road and Hwy. W gets underway this week. This project will fix about 4.8 miles of the road. Drivers will have to contend with lane closures and flagging operations as crews widen shoulders and lay new asphalt, Wisconsin Department of Transportation project manager Curt Neuhauser told the Hub. Its sorely needed, Neuhauser said of the repairs. The road will remain open during construction, the WisDOT said in a news release, but delays of up to 15 minutes can be expected during daylight hours when flagging operations are taking place. Access to intersecting roads and properties along Hwy. 51 will have 15-30 minute temporary closures during removal and repaving operations, the release said. At times there will be uneven lanes and low shoulders with a grade differential up to 2 inches. Drivers heading north of the city will have to deal with a detour when about two miles of Hwy. 51 will be closed for repairs starting around Sept. 23. This $1.7 million project aims to fix deteriorating road conditions along a 2.2-mile stretch from South Quam Drive to County Hwy. B (West)/ Hwy. AB, the WisDOT said in a news release. The project is slated for completion in

Lack of growth forces city to consider cutting services

For budgeting purposes, new construction less than half a percent
Bill Livick
City officials have gotten far enough along on the 2014 budget that one thing is clear: They will almost
certainly have to scale back, if not eliminate, some services next year. That is largely due to the fact that the city is not growing. Its growth rate last year, which determines
how much the city can increase its operating revenue by levying taxes in any given year, was less than 1 percent, said Mayor Donna Olson. The only way you can increase your operating funds is through net new construction, she explained. Our net new
construction equals 0.45 percent. That increases our levy by $30,000. Olson said department heads are continually looking for ways to implement efficiencies to be more cost effective and improve services.

Last week kicked off the tobacco harvest for many farmers in the Stoughton and Cooksville area. With the labor all done by hand rather than being raised with computerized machines, community members that dont have their own tobacco fields can still be seen out helping out their family and friends. Above: Cousins Brittany and Jenna Wethal hand up a tobacco lat to their cousin Joshua in the blazing heat. Below, Ervin Wethal, one of the three brothers heading up the operation, hangs tobacco lats in the shed to start curing.
Harvest time

Tobacco has a special connection with the area

annually at one point, according to Sarbacker. Tobacco is grown in places around the United States, including states like Maryland, and in other countries in the world such as Indonesia, but theres something in the Stoughton area that causes the tobacco harvest to be set apart from all others in the world. Because of our climate, our tobacco cures differently than everyone elses on Earth, Sarbacker said. Tobacco is raised with very little machine power, unlike crops like corn or soybeans that are harvested by combine. In early summer, farmers can be seen setting tobacco plants in the ground and cultivating in the fields, and by July the plants are ready to be topped, the process of the flowers growing on the plants being broken off by hand, one by one. Depending on the breed of tobacco, the crop is then ready for harvest three or four weeks later.
In the communities around Stoughton, the annual tradition of tobacco harvest is back in full swing. According to Candi Sarbacker, a long-time Stoughton resident and a tobacco historian who annually teaches sixth graders about Stoughtons history with the crop during their final field trip of the year, the towns history with the plant stems back to the 1800s. The Tobacco Warehouse (on Main St.) was built from 1884 to 1886, said Sarbacker, whose family finished harvesting their own crop of tobacco earlier this week. The tradition of raising tobacco came to this town with the Norwegians. In its early days, tobacco was the crop that kick started Stoughtons economy and population growth, with farms producing over a million pounds of tobacco
The tobacco harvest consists of cutting the plant from the root, stringing the stalks on skinny, yardsticklike wooden lats and hanging each high in a shed that has narrow doors along the width of it. When the doors are open, it allows the tobacco to cure, the process of the stalks drying out and turning brown. When the tobacco is fully cured, it is stripped from the sheds and tied into 40-pound bundles in a warm striphouse in an attempt to keep the tobacco soft. Sarbacker said a lot of help is needed for harvest, and that when she was in high school, teenagers helping their family or friends in the tobacco fields got to end their school day early during harvest time. Unfortunately for us, engineers havent been able to come up with an easier way for us to harvest, Sarbacker said. We do have really great weather conditions for growing in Stoughton, though.

Students make lasting memories in Germany

Scott De Laruelle
Following historys footsteps

The overseas experience doesnt only benefit students, either. Stoughton High School associate principal Brian Shimon hosted Grevens GAPP coordinator Oliver Heinichen in October 2011 and co-chaperoned this summers trip, bringing his wife and two sons along. He said the exchange has become part of his family. I am humbled by the generosity of the Heinichens, who welcomed my entire family into their home, cared for us, shared their lives with us, problem solved with us, and arranged exciting opportunities for our boys, he said. Our debt to them is lifelong, and will be lived out welcoming others into our home when the possibility presents itself. Shimon said the exchange provided a safety net for students to experience and explore the wonders of German people and culture. Our morning conversations unraveled the life changing moments as they were happening, he said. Walking the cobblestones of Germany has changed our students in ways they do not yet understand; that journey of self-discovery is still unfolding within them. Hamburg, Munich, Berlin and the North Sea island of Borkum. Students saw everything from castles and reconstructed medieval architecture to mudflat hiking, and Krenz said she was happy to see Stoughton students continue to get that opportunity through the GAPP program. Its a thrill to see our students experiencing the culture first-hand and using the language with native speakers, she said. Taking students to live in German families is really the culmination of what we, as German teachers, can offer our students. Krenz said while by the end of the trip, students were happy to return home, it was difficult for them to leave. It was great to see how connected the students became and that they were already looking forward to seeing each other again in October, she said.
Summer is always a good time to travel and do things you might not ordinarily get a chance to. That was certainly the case for 19 Stoughton High School students who traveled to Germany for three weeks this summer as part of the GAPP (German American Partnership Program), a cooperation between the governments of the two countries. The trip was the first stage of the 2013 Stoughton Greven German partner school program, run by River Bluff Middle School German teacher Stephanie Krenz. The students attended school at the Augustinianum Gymnasium Greven while living with German host families. The second stage of the exchange will take place in October, when Greven students will visit Stoughton. GAPP was initiated in 2009 by SHS German teacher Lisa Gierke, and has grown each year since to become a strong bond of friendship between Greven and Stoughton students, families and school staff. Senior Emily Peterson wrote of her recent trip, What amazes me every day here is how often I am struck by how beautiful it is. Not just the fairy-tale villages set into the hillsides, or the perfect little gardens behind each home, but also how beautiful it is to find a connection with so many people. What Ive found most interesting about Germany is not the differences, but how easy it is to find

SHS students participating in the 2013 GAPP exchange 2013 were: Alexis Argall, Katie Gagen, Hank Guzman, Ashley Harnack, Rhyanne Hartwig, Jordan Haskin, Emeline Hutchinson, Sadie Jackson, Jacob Milbrath, Allison Moe, Mariana Montgomery, Ben Morgan, Megan Offord, Cassidy Parker, Emily Peterson, Kassondra Rayfield, Derek Schultz, Brianna Turner and Dylan Wenker.

common ground. Sure we have misunderstandings and pauses while we search for the right words, but overall Ive found beauty or at least humor in every aspect of German life, and I hope when I return home I can bring with me this feeling of wonder. Senior Katie Gagen said one subtle change between Germany and Stoughton was the number of students bicycles. On an average school day in Stoughton, you see maybe 10-15 bikes around the entire school on a sunny
day, she said. Here I saw more bikes scattered around the Gymnasium in Greven than I think Ive ever seen in one group. There were literally hundreds of bikes!
Positive experience
There are many advantages to participating in the three-week exchange program, Krenz said, including how it will look on a college application or professional resume. Another is learning the basics of traveling using public transportation, ordering in a restaurant, buying items and
keeping belongings safe in big cities. Its an experience learning to navigate public transportation. she said. Most of our students have never used public transportation before. Just knowing when and where to get off the train is a learning experience. And of course, there is the learning of the language and culture. Students are immersed in both by living with German families, attending classes in a German school and visiting historic sites like Cologne,
To participate in the GAPP exchange, students must be in a German class at Stoughton High School and sign up for the next level of German the year following the trip. Families must also agree to host their exchange partner the following October. Students receive one high school credit by participating in the program. The next trip and visit is scheduled for June and October 2015.

Letters to the editor
Coffee Break festival was family-friendly

Several members of our coalition attended the Coffee Break Festival, and we were very impressed with the organization of the event, especially the restrictions that were placed on the consumption of alcohol. The festival was truly a family friendly event. Reasonable guidelines were enacted that ensured that the adults who wished to consume alcohol could continue to do so, while controlling unintended access and attractiveness to youth: The beer garden was set off to the side and fully enclosed. The main area had not a single alcohol sign but lots of caffeinated and non-caffeinated beverages. Signs were placed at the edge of the festival space making it clear alcohol could not leave the area. We believe that it takes a collaborative effort by all segments of the community to achieve our goal of reducing risky behaviors among Stoughton youth. In order to increase opportunities for our youth to grow and develop to their full potential, we know we need to pay attention to unintended messages, as well as actually making healthy choices easier. The Stoughton Chamber of Commerce and the festival organizers certainly did their part and they should be commended. StoughtonCARES

The makings of a best-selling book

recently met bestselling mystery author Louise Penny at the release of her new book, How the Light Gets In, and it got me thinking about how books become best-sellers. In the case of this book, the publisher (St. Martin Minotaur) initially printed 300,000 copies, and all were sold before the release date. In other words, the book was already in its second printing before it was MacDonald even available for sale. That made me wonder what is it that makes a book a best-seller before its even released? To be a best-seller, it helps if a book has some combination of unique characters, original plot, exotic setting, action adventure, romance, attention-grabbing writing, a great title or a timely topic. An attractive cover doesnt hurt, and of course, the reputation of the author makes all the difference. But the truth is, nobody knows in advance how well a book is going to sell. Publishers try to predict, but even if its educated guesswork, its still guesswork nonetheless. The most certain sales are books by authors whose works have consistently been best-sellers, such as Dan Brown, Jodi Picoult or Stephen King. Even with a best-selling author, there is no guarantee.

debuted in the number 2 spot on the New York Times Bestseller List. Yet, her latest book, even with pre-release sales of 300,000 hasnt made the list at all, at least not yet. The competition is fierce. The New York Times list tracks weekly sales of fiction and non-fiction books by format such as hardcover, paperback and e-Book. Other lists cover longer time periods and may also include audio books. More and more books are coming out simultaneously in multiple formats, so theres a good case for tallying up sales of all of them. A typical press run (number of copies printed) for a new novel by an author who has already been published but is not really well-known could be anywhere between 10,000 and 30,000 copies. However, once an author has a reputation as a best-selling author, the print run could jump to 300,000, 500,000 or even 700,000 or more. One way to compare best-sellers over the decades is to look at a books sales as a percentage of the American population when the book was printed. This definition was created and used by Frank Luther Mott (1886-1964) in his book Golden Multitudes: the Story of Best Sellers in the United States, which, not surprisingly, did not achieve bestseller status. Its a useful method to compare books from different time periods. Using Motts method, a book that sold 200,000 copies in 1900 was more of a best-seller than a
book that sells 400,000 today. A Wikipedia entry online lists the most-printed singlevolume books and book series of all time. Its only an estimate because some books are printed in so many different editions they are impossible to track. But it contains some interesting information. The Bible leads the list with an estimated 2.5 billion copies printed. The closest competitor is Quotations from Chairman Mao, with 800 million copies, followed by the Quran at 400 million. Number 4 on the list is the Xinhua Zidian, a Chinese dictionary also near 400 million. The first novel on the list is A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, at the number 5 spot, with 200 million copies. If youre working on the next best-seller, heres some advice from a 1998 New York Times Magazine story, How to Manufacture a Best Seller, which is still relevant today: In your book, be sure that the hero and the villain are experts. Give the hero a back-up team of additional experts in various fields, and have two on the team fall in love. Be sure that the villain and the hero live to do battle again in a sequel. (That will be your second best seller.) And if you get bogged down, just kill somebody. See you on the best seller lists! Richard MacDonald is the director of the Stoughton Public Library.

Shillelagh Open set for Sunday

The Shillelagh Foundations annual golf tournament and fundraiser will take place Sunday, Sept. 8, at Stoughton Country Club. This will be the 39th year for the annual fundraiser, which is the largest for the foundation. Net proceeds from the event will go toward future health care projects, according to the fundraisers materials. Last year, the Shillelagh Open golf tournament that raised about $12,000 for causes that include the Stoughton Food Pantry, the Holiday Fund, Seniors in Need and the Stoughton Area Resource Team. The Open has raised about $286,000 since its inception almost four decades ago. The Open offers an 18-hole golf scramble. Tickets cost $100 a person and include lunch, golf, a cart, hole prizes and more. Hole in one prizes sponsored by R&S Insurance
If you go
What: The 39th annual Shillelagh Open Where: Stoughton Country Club When: Sunday, Sept. 8, with 7:30 a.m. Cost: $100 per person with advance registration (18 holes), or $375 for a foursome. Contact: 873-9258 and CMA Accounting include a $5,000 cash prize. The Open also includes the presentation of the annual Bill Borman Citizen of the Year award to recognize a community volunteer. The award is named after the late Bill Borman, who operated the Shillelagh Bar in downtown Stoughton and later founded the foundation itself.
This year, Stoughton schools will be fully implementing a new Readers and Writers Workshop model to allow students from kindergarten through eighth grade to spend more time reading and writing, rather than listening to lectures. The new model is patterned after art workshops, where artists would give tips on how to produce a certain piece of art, and then students would receive specific instructions on how to do it themselves, said Stoughton Area School District director of curriculum and instruction Judy Singletary. The key is to make the learning periods more interactive, and provide more opportunities for students to work on their own. Its not like it was back in the day, when most of the period was spent with the teacher reading, she said. Now, most of the periods the teacher will move around and either host a small group of students if
there are kids who need the same kind of instruction, or move from student to student and hold mini-conferences and get the kids going on really specific topics that will move their reading practice forward. More individualized learning helps students better understand reading and writing assignments, Singletary said. We see the greatest gains in the course of the year (with that type of teaching), and the kids like it better and the teachers like it better, because theres way more reading and writing going on, she said. We find that our kids check out way more books from the library and they read hundreds of more pages during the school day or in a given week. The kids are given specific instructions in reading and writing, and having time to practice. They also get a voice in what theyre reading, instead of the teacher assigning what book to read, theyre more engaged in reading and writing.
We find that our kids check out way more books from the library and they read hundreds of more pages during the school day or in a given week.
Judy Singletary SASD director of curriculum and instruction
Singletary said teachers are making a push for nonfiction books for students, to help with their development in reading and writing. Fiction is a good place to learn how to start reading, but most of the reading we do after elementary school is going to be non-fiction, or technical reading, and were doing more and more instruction on how to approach nonfiction or technical reading, she said. We do find that kids are very interested in that, and the topics of their choice, and its real it doesnt have to be this make-believe story.
Summer reading matters
Singletary said kids who
come back to school next week having kept up on their reading will have a definite advantage over their peers who did not. Stoughton schools offer a four-week summer course during June and July to encourage kids to keep reading. Its a very real phenomenon, it isnt a myth she said. Kids who keep practicing keep getting better than kids who stagnate. Its just like shooting free throws if you practice every day, youll see a marked improvement. If you never practice shooting free throw, youll find you cant really shoot free throws. Its the same with reading and writing youll see marked improvements.

Thought for the week

Sensitive Egos
My brothers and I were recently engaged in a conversation about our childhood in which we all felt compelled to apologize for our youthful teasing and taunting of each other. What was interesting to me was that we all felt that in one way or another the teasing and striving with each other had made us more prepared to deal with life. One brother even expressed the worry that we are so over-sensitized to emotionally abusive people these days that we are cultivating a whole generation of young people who are unable to handle any kind of threats to their fragile egos. When they are bullied they react in ways that are hugely disproportionate to the situation, i.e. suicides, mass shootings, etc. Perhaps the teasing banter and rough and tumble play of childhood is preparation for life in a world that isnt always sensitive to the fragile vagaries of our ego. It would be nice, albeit boring, if we lived in a world where everyone was always kind and deferential but until that ideal world arrives, perhaps we should let kids engage in the rough and tumble world of childhood in a way that will prepare them for the real world. Resolving conflict is an important skill that is best learned early in life. Christopher Simon for Metro News Service A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel. Proverbs 15: 18

Local artists earn award

Andrea Herkert of Belleville and her apprentice Nancy Odalen of Stoughton have been given an award from The Wisconsin Arts Board (WAB). The award in rosemaling, a style of art derived from Norway that consists of painting primarily floral designs onto wooden furniture, was one of ten awards given out to Wisconsin folk artists through the WAB Folk Arts Apprenticeship Programs. Artists agreed to take on one or more apprentices for the one year of instruction and mentorship. The apprenticeship concludes in a community presentation. For more information on the Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program go to artsboard. wisconsin.gov.

Repairs: Two projects planned

Continued from page 1 November. The road will be open to local traffic and businesses in the area, unless otherwise noted by the contractor, the WisDOT said. Further details about the project will be discussed at a preconstruction meeting between the WisDOT and contractors in the next week or so, Neuhauser said. Sign boards alerting drivers to the closure will go up two weeks before work is slated to start, he said. Through traffic will be detoured along Hwy. B to Hwy. N north of Stoughton. From there, drivers head north to Interstate 39/90 and to Madisons Beltline. The existing concrete roadway will be crushed into rubble and used as a baselayer for about 5.5 inches of asphalt. The repairs are meant to be a 10-15 year fix, as the area is under consideration for major improvements as part of the Hwy. 51 corridor study being undertaken by the WisDOT. WisDOT project manager David Layton said the need for repairs came up about a year and a half ago at the request of department maintenance workers.

Merchants shortstop TJ DiPrizio (left) cuts off a ball up the middle in the seventh inning Sunday for a double play as Stoughton rolled 10-3 over the host Monona Braves. The win moved the Merchants to within one win from their first Home Talent League championship in 27 years.
Two down, one game to go

Merchants host Middleton in winner-take-all game

Sports editor
Road victories continued to pile up for the Stoughton Merchants Home Talent team Sunday at Ahuska Park in Monona as third baseman
Jake Wenzel collected three hits, drove in three runs and scored three times in the 10-3 win over the Brewers. The Merchants now have a shot to closeout their first league championship since 1986 on Sunday in Stoughton at Norse Park. Stoughton jumped out to 6-2 advantage with four runs in the sixth inning, highlighted by Wenzels three-run home run.
The guys in front of me in the order did a great job to get on base and I was just trying to put a good swing on the ball, Wenzel said. Stoughtons leading hitter all season, the third baseman did that and then some, driving the first-pitch fastball of reliever Dave Scheidell over the left-center field fence. I knew he was struggling a little bit with the zone, walking Dave (Hanson) and Rory (Menzer) ahead
of me, Wenzel said. I was just trying to set back and wait for a fastball and he ended up giving it to me on the first pitch. Stoughton first baseman Sean Gerber also had three hits, scored three runs and drove in three runs. Starter Ben Riffle was once again lights out on the mound, allowing two runs on eight hits over seven
Junior Nikki Staffen ran to a fourth-place finish in 16 minutes, 17 seconds Saturday at the Terror Invitational in Appleton. Freshman Alyson Weum also broke 17 minutes, finishing 13th overall in 16:54. I knew that Aly ran all summer and had run near Nikki in practice so I felt it was reasonable that she would run fast, Stoughton head coach Patrick Schneider said. However, you never can be sure how freshmen will react to running the 4K distance for the first time. Needless to say she is expected to be an asset this season. Senior Ashley Harnack finished as the teams third runner in 17:30 good for 34th place. Fellow seniors Megan Reese (47th) and Hannah Sonsalla (58th) finished in 18:13 and 18:44, respectively. Stoughton finished sixth overall with 156 points and an average time of 17:32. Sophomore Jenna Gardner and junior Katie Roe also competed on varsity, but didnt score. Kimberly and Oshkosh West tied with 71 points apiece, though the Papermakers took home top honors with a faster average time. Appleton North (80) finished a close third. Stoughtons JV team came away with a seventhplace finish. The Vikings travel to the site of this years WIAA

Core returns to lead girls on the court

Assistant sports editor
Experience returns with four of six returning letterwinners for the Stoughton High School varsity volleyball team being starters in 2012. Seniors Maren Schultz, Patricia Dumas, Carissa Klubertanz and junior Olivia Dorscheid return after helping Stoughton to a 21-12 overall record last season. Returning senior Annalise Panthofer and junior Annie Fergus, who both saw time on the court, join them. We are an athletic team that is going to continue to improve, head coach Kelly Sorensen wrote in a preview questionnaire. We have a great group of girls, and they are ready to work hard to earn a position on the court. Schultz returns after being third on
team with 155 kills and first with 66 total blocks. Klubertanz is also key with blocks after picking up 58 in 2012. She also added 38 kills. Stoughton graduated Katlynn Wirag and Josie Logan who led Stoughton with 298 and 252 kills, respectively. Logan and Wirag were also key on blocks with 40 and 33, respectively. Dumas steps into the role as a top setter this season. She had 206 assists last season, which was second on the team. Lexi Potter is graduated after leading the team with 470. She also led the team with 63 aces. Dumas collected 28 aces. Dorscheid returns as a defensive specialist. She led Stoughton with 423 digs last year. Wirag (328 digs), Logan (238 digs) and Potter (218 digs) were also key on serves received

Vikes take second at Vikings offense falls flat at Reedsburg Portage Invitational

Football
Anthony Iozzo
Senior Becky Klongland shot a 74 last Wednesday at the Portage Invitational as the Stoughton girls g o l f t e a m Klongland finished second to Verona with a 336. Verona junior Jessica Reinecke was first overall with a 71 to lead the Wildcats to a 332. Juniors Ashli Stolen and Kailey Taebel followed Klonglands score with an 85 and an 87, respectively. Taylor Wise finished the scoring with a 90. Janesville Parker took
third with a 342, and Oregon was fourth with a 362. Oregon senior Morgan McCorkle was third overall with a 75. Stoughton traveled to University Ridge Golf Course Wednesday for a Milton Invitational, but the results did not meet the Courier Hubs Tuesday deadline. Stoughton travels to Monona Golf Course at 4 p.m. Friday for a Badger South dual, and it travels to Old Hickory Golf Course at 1 p.m. Saturday for the Beaver Dam invitational. Stoughton also hosts Portage and Badger South rival in dual matches Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Both matches are at 3:30 p.m. at Stoughton Country Club.
Senior PJ Rosowski hauled in a 6-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Luke Logan early in the second quarter to pull Stoughton even with the host Beavers. Logan went on to pass for 108 yards, but it was far from enough as the Vikings offense sputtered in its second game, piling up just 153 yards in a 31-7 Badger Conference crossover loss at Reedsburg. Junior Austin Schyvinck completed just four-of-six pass Friday, which included touchdown passes of 23 and 57 yards and ran for a score of 14 yards for Reedsburg. Stoughton (106) and the Beavers (104) passed for nearly identical yardage, but it was Reedsburg that
racked up 230 yards on the ground compared to 47 by the Vikings. Schyvinck led the way with 106 yards for the Beavers. The issue with defending Reedsburg offense is they have a lot of weapons, and they did a very good job of utilizing all of their players at key points during the game, head coach Jason Thiry said. While Stoughton had racked up over 500 yards of offense in an opening week win over Sauk Prairie, including more than 400 on the ground, the Beavers held them to just total 153 yards on Friday. Reedsburg and Sauk are both good programs, Thiry said. Part of a new system is gaining confidence that we can move the ball each and every week. We must coach our kids better
to block in order to get some first downs strung together, and be more consistent on putting drives together. The Vikings now have two big tests coming up against a pair of Badger South Conference teams with their sights set on winning a league title. Stoughton travels to Fort Atkinson (2-0) at 7 p.m. Friday before hosting Madison Edgewood (1-1) on Sept. 13. We need to worry about Stoughton football, and improving the Stoughton football program everyday, Thiry said. Our program is based around blocking, tackling, and playing solid special teams each night out. We will continue to work on those areas each day at all three levels.
HTL: Merchants look for first title since 1986

Continued from page 9 innings. Stoughton has now outscored the opposition 21-6 on the road in its first two games of the Final Four. You give Riff the lead and hes tough to beat, Seffens said. At this point anybody is all these are good hitting teams. You cant take anything for granted. No lead feels safe right now. Reliever Erick Sperloen struck out three and allowed one run over the final two innings. Our pitching has been great, Wenzel said. I think ever since we made it to the playoffs, theres been a sense of relief ... We could just come out and play our game. For those that dont remember, the Merchants, who were tied with McFarland for the second and final Southeast playoff spot back in early July, fell to the Muskies and first-place Orfordville in back-to-back weekends. Stoughton then needed McFarland to lose in the final week to slip into the playoffs before going on an unprecedented playoff-tear. Everything he hit seems to be falling and were scoring a lot of runs, Wenzel said. Its great. Stoughton chased Monona starter Zac Najacht in the fifth with RBI singles from Gerber and TJ DiPrizio. Nine innings now separate Stoughton and Middleton (coming off a 17-11 win over Verona) in a winner-take-all championship game Sunday at Norse Park. Monona manager Chris Alexander whose team dropped to 0-2 with the loss, said his club has not played championship baseball for the past two weeks. The Merchants, who havent played a home game since July 28, havent won the league title since 1986. Middleton
Boys soccer
Vikings fall to DeForest in OT

Anthony Iozzo
Close games are becoming the norm for the Stoughton boys soccer team this season, but things didnt go the Vikings way Tuesday in a 3-2 overtime loss against DeForest. VJ Ally scored the gamewinner for the Norskies (5-1 overall) on a penalty kick just under two minutes into the first overtime after being tangled up with Dylan Wenker as he cut into the box. I know it sounds silly since we lost our last two games, but we certainly are going in the right direction as a team, head coach Dave Wermuth said. Ike Landers knotted the game twice for Stoughton (3-3-1 overall) in the second half to eventually force overtime. He scored with an assist to Endre Krumholz in the 57th minute, five minutes after Tyler Rau made it 2-1 with a free kick. Landers first tied the game in the 45th minute with an assist to Devin Wermuth. Senior goalie Hank Guzman picked up eight saves
for Stoughton. Dalton Van Schoyck collected seven saves for DeForest. The Vikings travel to Watertown at 7 p.m. Thursday, and to Monroe at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the first Badger South game of the season.

on the other hand, hasnt won it all since 2002. I dont know what its like there, manager Dale Seffens joked. Its been a long time. Im kind of tempted to call up Middleton and play it on the road. Middleton beat the Merchants twice
this season in Thursday Night League action, but this will be their first meeting on Sundays. Look at the crowd weve had the last two weeks on the road, Wenzel said. It will be great playing at home next week for a championship.

XC: Harriers finish sixth at Terrier Invite

Continued from page 9 Division 1 sectional Saturday for the Verona Invitational at 9:30 a.m. Upperclassmen Giles France (junior) and Max Fergus, meanwhile, finished 49th and 51st in 19:29 and 19:31, respectively. Junior Ryan Sperle and senior Will Clark both ran on varsity, but did not score. Overall, one minute and three seconds was all that separated the teams top five scores. The pack, which averaged a time of 19 minutes, however, will need to focus on moving up the ranks over the next two months. We have not had that level of excellence since 2003, Vikings head coach Susan Zaemisch said. As a team we finished sixth against some of the top programs in the Fox Valley area. Kimberly (38) held off Oshkosh West (46) for top honors once again in the boys race while Appleton North (101) finished a distant third. The Vikings JV team finished third behind the ninth-place finish of freshman Garrett Model. Zaemisch said both the varsity and JV teams exceeded her expectation. Model launched himself into a varsity spot for this Saturdays Verona Invite. Gabe Ross, who also ran JV, will also be competing at the varsity level.

Stoughton moves up to sixth at relay meet

What a difference a year and a full lineup can make just askStoughton girls swimming coach Elise McLaury, who watched her team jump from eighth to sixth place in the standings of the Vikings annual conference relay meet. We almost had two relays in each event and to not get eighth place in any of the events was a huge improvement from last year as well, McLaury said. Tuesdays relay meet was also a great meet to let the girls swim different events. McLaury said its also exciting to be able to swim a lot of 50s. Stoughtons highest finish came in the 200 butterfly where the relay quarter of seniors Katherine Rude and Mari Grady, sophomore Sophie Pitney and freshman Averie Ness finished runner-up in 1 minute, 59.72 seconds to a very talented McFarland team. We have never really stacked that relay before, but we decided to go for it, McLaury said. The move obvioulsy paid off for the Vikings, whose next highest finishes came from the 200 free (grade specific) relay. We have some really quick freshman and sophomores that swam to a third-place finish with all of them swimming best split times, McLaury said. Swimming on that relay were: sophomores Shaylee Kooima,

Earlier in the night, Stoughtons upperclassmen finished strong enough for fourth in that same relay (Alexus Crockett, Savanna Smith, Raleigh Schigur and Grady). The whole team swam with a lot of confidence tonight, McLaury said. We have a few things to work on, but Im excited for our dual meet season to begin. Bella Lenz was the only Viking to have a best time, posting a 35.32 in the 50 free. Stoughtons next meet is 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10 at home against Monona Grove. The Vikings are then off until Sept. 17 at Madison Edgewood High School.

Benoy secures Vikings lone win in loss to Monona Grove

Sports editor
Freshman Sarah Benoy won in her varsity singles debut for the Stoughton girls tennis team Tuesday at home. Benoys 6-2, 6-3 victory, however, was the only win of the evening for the Vikings, who fell 6-1 to visiting Monona Grove in their Badger South Conference debut. Sarah played a nice match to get her first singles win, head coach Ryan Reischel said. I thought she improved on forcing her opponent to move more side to side as the match progressed and putting balls away. Fellow freshman Kendra Halverson
almost joined Benoy in the win column, but instead dropped one of two Stoughton three-set matches after winning the first set, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. Kendra doesnt really have a finishing shot right now, which is something we are working on, Reischel said. But she battles in every match and gives herself a chance to win. Seniors Marissa Despins and Natalie Clerkin were the only other Vikings flight to force a third set, falling 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, at No. 3 doubles. Though she fell 6-1, 6-1 at No. 1 singles, Reischel said freshman Payton Kahls match was more competitive than the score indicated. Payton played very well, every match went deuce against the
conference champion at No. 4 singles from a year ago, Reischel said. I thought she did a nice job. Playing three freshman at varsity singles is a move Reischel hopes will only expedite their development. Were hoping by getting them all some varsity singles action, they can make a lot of strides quickly, Reischel said. Stoughton hosts Oregon in a conference dual at 4:15 p.m. Thursday. The Vikings move on to host their annual invitational at 9 a.m. on Saturday. Like the boys tournament, all singles matches will take place in Stoughton, while doubles are played in Oregon.
Oregon, Madison Edgewood, Milton and Fort Atkinson are expected to be tough this season in the Badger South Conference. Stoughton finished 6-6 last season, but it will have an even tougher road in 2013. Edgewood was first last season at 11-1. It returns Sam Foti, Kaelyn Kessel, Haley Schwenn, Jessie Tipple, Sarah Grace Kuypers, Lexi Cuta and Katie Maher. The Crusaders do lose all four defensive specialists, including Olivia Parman, and they lose middle hitter Emily Bongard. Oregon (9-3) returns seniors Maddy Gits, Madi Klonsinski, Jamie Wood, Dani Loomis and Regan Pauls. They also return junior Riley Rosemeyer. The Panthers lose Morgan Hacker, Katie Tushoski, Lisa Johnson and Lexi Smith. Milton (9-3) returns captain Lauren Streets, Samantha Scalissi, Samantha Soddy, Jennifer Krausse, Sydney Hecimovich and Stephanie Hanewold. The Red Hawks do lose captains Allison Schullo and Katie Soddy. Fort Atkinson (5-7) only loses two girls from

Alder: Young newcomer expected to bring fresh perspective to Common Council

Continued from page 1 stunned and was phoning his wife to tell her the news and go out for ice cream. Urven and his wife, a first-grade teacher at St. Anns School, rent an apartment in Dist. 4, and Urven works as a delivery driver for Pizza Hut. He holds a bachelors degree in psychology and philosophy from Marian College in Fond du Lac. He graduated in 2006. Several alders said they voted for Urven because they felt he would bring a fresh perspective to the council and represent a segment of the community that did not have a voice in local government. Ironically, Carter, a retired editorial director for Mapping Specialists, Ltd of Madison and someone with extensive community service experience, told the council he was running to give a voice to residents of Dist. 4 who had been under-represented. I was strongly encouraged to come and hopefully join the council again, he said. Carter and Urven were competing for a seat in Dist. 4 left vacant by the resignation of Eric Olstad in late May. The council left the application process open after deadlines passed twice without anyone seeking the seat. The two applicants filled out and submitted a questionnaire as part of the application process. They then appeared in person last Tuesday to verbally answer those questions and a few other posed by council members. Asked what issues are of most concern to the city,
Q&A with Ross Urven

Hub: Why were you interested in applying for the position? Urven: It was just one of those things that I had been kind of on the fringes of before in my life. And with it being available with getting around the campaigning part of it, which is my least favorite part of politics, I thought that it was a good time to throw my hat in the ring and maybe provide a perspective thats not always there. Hub: Where are you from originally? Urven: I spent 10 years in Whitewater and then after that I spent 11 in Fond du Lac. And before that we traveled a lot, so it was in many different places. Hub: Youll be the youngest person on the council. Do you think that will work to your advantage as far as bringing a different perspective to the council? Urven: I would think so. Nothing against him (Carter) at all, but there does seem to be a lot of older perspectives on the council as it is. Hub: What brought you to Stoughton? Urven: My wife works as a first-grade teacher at St. Anns. And we had that same kind of arrangement as a lot of couples do before they get married: Whoever has the better job at the time gets to determine where you live. Hub: You responded to the question about the issues facing Stoughton today and talked about the conditions of the roads. Is there anything else besides that that seems like an important issue for the city? Urven: Im a little concerned about the city becoming just a commuter town, and a lot of residents being not as invested in Stoughton as they are in Madison. Im not sure how to address that at this point. I look forward to hearing other peoples ideas on that. Hub: What do you like to do when youve got some free time? Urven: I am an avid reader. My father got me reading like Piers Anthony and Isaac Asimov as a kid. Im also a passable ballroom dancer. I do a little of that sometimes. On Sunday I had sponsored a dance at the old studio I used to work at in Fond du Lac. Sonny, theres a wealth of experience already. If it was a situation where we had a smaller council and we had no experience on the council, I might have voted differently. Part of it was I really like Ross answers because they were really short and succinct, Swadley said. I appreciated that, and he seemed to be honest and pretty open minded as far as what he can bring and what his expectations would be. Urven said he would consider running for the seat when its up for election in April. It depends on how suitable he is as an alder, he said.

Acting city clerk Pili Hougan swears in newly appointed Ald. Ross Urven last Tuesday in the council chambers.
Urven mentioned the condition of local streets and roads, while Carter cited the lack of economic development. I would bring in various experts and listen to proposals from different sources to improve road condition as well as deal effectively with winter storms, Urven wrote in his application. Carter said he would work to promote Stoughton as a job creator, improve economic stability and broaden the tax base to ease the burden on homeowners. He also said he would work to approve the development of Kettle Park West and bring jobs to the city.
Alders explain votes
The vote to fill the vacant seat seemed to break along lines related to time served on the council.
Longer-serving alders favored Carter, while newer members opted for Urven. I voted for him (Urven) because I thought that he would bring a fresh viewpoint to the council, said Majewski (Dist. 3). He comes from a different angle from the majority of the council and hes relatively new to the community, so hes got fresh eyes. Longtime Ald. Lawrence (Dist. 2) said he voted for Carter because hed worked with him and appreciated his experience. I know him and worked with him for quite a few years on the council and I respect his decision-making process, Lawrence said. I think from what I saw in the interview process, Ross seemed like a smart young guy. I think hell be fine and a good addition to
the council. I look forward to working with him. You never know on these kinds of things, he added. But if it wouldnt have been for Tim, he would have had my vote easily. Swadley (Dist. 1) said it was a difficult decision because the applicants were totally different. One was a wealth of knowledge and experience, while the other offers kind of a new perspective. I just thought at this time it would be kind of nice to get that new perspective on things, he said. Im hoping that Ross will bring that. Swadley added that with a council of 12, much of Carters experience we currently have with some of the other members. Between Paul and Ron and
Budget: Preliminary results put municipal court, urban forestry below funding line
Continued from page 1 But simply operating more efficiently wont be enough to make up for what is close to a $300,000 budget deficit, she said. What it means is that well need to reduce services, she lamented. We havent identified yet what they might be. Well work real hard not to go that route, but in order to do some things were going to have to stop doing others. She said the situation clearly highlights the need for more economic development in the city.
Savings suggestions
Results teams suggestions to save money: police department K9 unit should be entirely self-funded school resource officer should be fully funded by the school district turn municipal court cases over to Dane County, if financially cost effective reduce funding for city website and local cable TV reduce the size of the council by one alder per district reduce the amount spent on city attorney look for an alternative to the city assessor look at offering concessions at Opera House increase late fees at library expand nightly hours during weekend of shared ride taxi service an attractive, welcoming community that values arts, culture and recreation. The teams were asked to rank the importance of services offered by the citys various departments. Team members considered the cost of each service and how well it fit the goals of their priority area. Those priorities were identified in a single statement. For example, one teams strategic priority as stated as: I want to live in a community that has a stable, self-sufficient local economy. The local economy team then took into account the citys vision and mission statements as it ranked a host of services in terms of importance and cost. In this case, the team determined that marketing the Stoughton Opera House as a destination location was the lowest priority among a list of five service options, or department head offers. While the Opera House does add value to the community, our group has concerns that the Opera House
Ranking services
At last weeks Common Council meeting, alders heard what four committees known as results teams in the citys Budgeting for Outcomes method suggested as services that are indispensable and services that could be reduced or eliminated. Each team was assigned a priority area that the council used in is strategic planning process in January. The priorities included: 1. a community with a stable, self-sufficient local economy; 2. a community with a citizen-focused, well-run government; 3. a community that is safe, healthy and secure; 4.
offer is not more self-sustaining and how much of an impact it would have on the objectives of this priority area, the team wrote in a report to the council. When an offer is ranked so low that there is no available funding to pay it, the offer is considered below the line. Other services that fell below the line include: library services for small businesses municipal court building permits and inspections government media production the Landmarks Commission urban forestry cemetery maintenance services for visually impaired
Next steps
In an interview, Mayor Olson explained that she and finance director Laurie Sullivan would meet with the citys Finance Committee on Sept. 10 to go over the results teams findings in more detail. Well ask for their input and ask what their priorities are, she said. She noted that simply because a service has fallen below the line does not necessarily mean it will be reduce or eliminated. If an offer isnt an
essential service, its going to fall pretty low on our priority list what we call below the line, she said. Thats when we have a conversation. Do we continue to offer that service if its not a priority? When we run out of money to fund a service, just like we do at home, we have to ask what can we do without. Or what do we have to do without? Thats a harder request. Olson said after meeting with the Finance Committee, she and Sullivan will spend from Sept. 9 19 meeting with department heads and going into detail about the day-to-day operations of the department and the services it provides. Thats where we squeeze out the extra dollars, if we can, and see what we can bring back above the line, she said. Throughout October the council and other city officials will hold a series of budget workshops on the way to finalizing the 2014 budget. Last year, as a result of a large budget gap, the city reduced curbside brush collection from once a month to twice in the spring and twice in the fall. Its an example of a service that initially fell below the funding level
but was not eliminated completely. Olson said when there is no available funding for a service and it is in danger of being discontinued, her job is to find out if we can make changes to the offers that are above the line to help fund some that are below the line. When she makes her final budget presentation to the council, its their job to turn it upside down and inside out and agree with my choices, or make suggestions about how to do it better, she said. She thinks the citys relatively new budgeting method is working well because it helps the council prioritize services and learn the actual cost of each service. I dont think budgets have ever been easy, she said, but with the levy limits and revenue constraints and everything that were facing today, its just doubly difficult. The lack of growth is something that our community needs to know about, she added. Thats what is making providing services extremely difficult.
