Life threatening cold snap hits area

STAFF REPORT

Bitter Chills
National Weather Service said in a wind chill warning Friday. The state was gripped in cold weather all last week, with windchill advisories throughout the week. A winter weather advisory went into effect Friday with sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph forecasted to blow snow throughout the region. Roads oriented east to west and out in rural areas will be most affected by the blowing and drifting, the Weather Service warned. Be prepared for unexpected and rapidly changing road conditions. Blowing snow continued to be a factor earlier this week with sustained winds around 15 mph and gusts up to 30 mph.
After a couple of mild winters the last two years, dangerous cold has returned to Wisconsin. High temperatures of 11 degrees below zero with windchills falling below minus-40 prompted schools to be canceled Monday and Tuesday in Stoughton and city officials to prepare for weather emergencies. Temperatures dipped as low as minus-18 Monday night. City officials were unaware of any major problems related to pipes, but the cold did force the school district to cancel its planned listening session on a possible spring referendum and its regular school board meeting. The weather was projected to be the coldest air to hit the state in nearly two decades, according to the National Weather Services. This will be the coldest air we have experienced since the arctic blast in February of 1996, the

Weather: Subzero temperatures force schools to close

Continued from page 1 Stoughton Area School District superintendent Dr. Tim Onsager said the district so far will likely not have to make up any snow days at the end of the school year in June. Public schools in Dane County recently created a standard for schools to close whenever the wind chill factor is expected to be sustained at or below minus-35 degrees, which triggers a wind chill warning from the National Weather Service. Stoughton utilities director Bob Kardasz said theyve had no power interruptions, no water main breaks and only three customers call about frozen pipes, all of which were internal problems unrelated to the utility department. Streets superintendent Karl Manthe said the city is always prepared for snow, and hasnt had any problems with plowing this year thanks to the easy to take care of, easy to clean snows the city has seen this year. The cold, Manthe said, offers a good day to take time off to wash off equipment and keep employees indoors when possible, though he said they dont necessarily make special preparations for weather

Wegner said people shouldnt run kerosene or gasoline-powered generators indoors because of the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning.

Survey: Residents pleased with parks

KIMbERlY WEThAl
Hub Correspondent
Town of Rutland
Residents who took a Stoughton parks survey in spring 2013 seek improvement of park trails but are overall happy with recreation areas. Parks and Recreation director Tom Lynch said respondents rated paved bicycle paths, natural areas and trails, and picnic areas as the top three areas of need or expansion. They rated sport courts and skate parks low on the to-do list. Overall, the survey showed very little change public opinion since another survey done more than five years ago. Residents answered questions through an online
service called Survey Monkey. The average resident who responded was female between ages 30-44. According to the survey results, approximately 54 percent of respondents used the public parks on a weekly basis during the previous summer and about 22 percent are using them on a daily basis. Moreover, about 78 percent of those surveyed said that they were either satisfied or incredibly satisfied with Stoughtons parks. Parks with baseball and softball fields were also rated as the most important for one third of all respondents. With direction from the survey, Lynch said he hopes to have an update to the Parks and Open Space
Plan completed by the end of January. The plan evaluates the current park system, incorporates public input, identifies needs, creates goals and guides where and what parks will be like in the next five years, he said. The Parks and Open Space Plan will identify the needs of the Stoughton community and will fit those needs with taxpayer dollars, grants and other fundraising measures. Lynch cited Troll Beachs recent changes as an example, which had been made possible through city funds and grants. He said he was initially surprised that the results from the 2013 survey are close to the last survey done five years prior, but said the
results made sense with the stalled economy. This can be attributed to the fact that Stoughton has had very little growth in the last five years, Lynch said. There were not very many opportunities to work on the goals from the 2008 plan. Despite the similar results between the two surveys, Lynch said that overall, Stoughtons residents do not have any outstanding issues with the parks. For the most part, Stoughton Parks users are pleased with the amount of parks, the amenities in them and the way they are maintained, Lynch said.

Library starts fundraising for renovation

Stoughton Public Library is kicking off a fundraising program to renovate its second floor Thursday, Jan. 30. The kick off will be held at the Stoughton Public Library, 304 S Fourth St., at 5 p.m. and is open to the public. There will be a short program with remarks from Mayor Donna Olson, library leadership and supporters followed by a reception. According to a news release by SPL, many local residents may still think of the librarys second floor as the new addition having been built 20-plus years ago. Time has, however,

The librarys second floor shelving is falling apart, the release said. The shelving purchased for the second floor is not library grade and has not withstood the test of time, posing a safety risk to library visitors.
Library director Richard MacDonald has concerns about the safety of library patrons. Library books, and even DVDs, are heavy and require quality steel shelving for safe storage. Because the present old particle board shelving is deteriorating weve had to have City maintenance people come in and shore it up with a variety of braces and brackets, states MacDonald. After the renovations, the second floor will have more square feet of functional space, new carpeting, better lighting, larger remodeled meeting rooms and new furnishings. The renovations are projected to cost $650,000 with
the City of Stoughton committing to the structural improvements of $410,000. This leaves the library to raise $250,000. The fundraising committee charged with raising these funds is enthusiastic about the communitys support. We conducted a feasibility study to see if Stoughton was interested in renovating the librarys second floor, states Linda Schaefer, Stoughton Public Library Board Vice President and Fundraising Committee Cochair.

The battle to build a 488-foot radio tower in the Town of Rutland appears to be back on. Last week, an attorney for Tomah-based Magnum Communications said the company would reapply for a zoning permit to build the tower in a farm field between Oregon and Stoughton near Old Stage Road. The tower would service a future Stoughton-based FM radio station. Magnum has failed for years to get town and Dane County officials to approve the tower. But this time, it may have the law on its side. In September, a Dane County judge refused to overturn a 2011 decision by town and county officials blocking the company from building the tower. The company could have appealed, but instead it hopes to submit a new application within the next 30 days, said William White, an attorney with Michael Best & Friedrich, one of Wisconsins most prominent law firms. White said a provision in Act 20, the state budget bill signed into law last June, could be the companys ace in the hole. The law says municipalities or counties cant block the building or placement of radio broadcast support structures unless they prove the structures would harm public health or safety. Rutlands town board in 2011 sided with opponents of the tower who claimed it would mar the rural landscape and harm nearby property values. Town chair Dale Beske said Monday he wasnt
aware of Magnums plans to reapply but acknowledged that health and safety werent among the reasons the town voted down the tower in 2011. The change in state law reduces the towns ability to control the siting of communication towers, Beske said. But he declined to predict whether the new law would change the town boards position. Opponents of the tower have also claimed it could harm migratory birds. In a news release, White said the company has addressed those concerns by reducing the number of lights. Specificallly, it received a waiver in late 2012 from the Federal Aviation Administration to eliminate all steady burning lights, which some studies show may disorient birds. The tower would service FM channel 95.9 WBKY, currently in Portage. The change from Portage to Stoughton was approved by the Federal Communications Commission in April 2006. Proponents of the tower including many municipal and school officials in Stoughton and Oregon have said a radio station could improve communication during emergencies and pave the way for local broadcasts of football games and other sporting events. The site is owned by siblings Sue Wollin and David Soldwedel, who have agreed to sell Magnum the land for the tower. The site was chosen because it fits inside a small segment of land that wouldnt interfere with other area FM radio frequencies, Magnum has said.

Wrestlers show good sportsmanship

A few weeks ago on a late Tuesday afternoon there was a wrestling match at the River Bluff Middle School in Stoughton. Several different middle schools in the area were involved. Parents, grandparents and friends all cheering for these young wrestlers, match after match. One particular match involved a skilled young wrestler from Stoughton and a young wrestler from another school who has autism. This young boy went out to the mat and wrestled his heart out to the best of his ability. The score flip-flopped back and forth until the third and final period when the young wrestler from Stoughton went down to the mat and his opponent was declared the winner. The referee raised his arm in triumph and the young boys smile was as wide as his face while all the parents, grandparents and friends in the gym that afternoon stood in thunderous applause for both these young boys. The winner was thrilled but the young wrestler from Stoughton was the hero of the night. He knew the feeling of victory and had felt it many times, but more importantly he knew how much it would mean for the other boy to feel it too. Thank you Stoughton coaches and wrestlers. This is truly good Viking sportsmanship! Joan Kratz Town of Dunkirk

Help: Stoughton residents get ACA assist

Continued from page 1 Stoughton Hospital in finding a plan. We pay a monthly premium and theres an outof-pocket deductible, he explained. We were quite lucky that the out-of-pocket was low enough where thatll be covered very quickly in the year and then we dont have to pay a thing, except of course the premiums. The premium is very reasonable for our income. Stoughton Hospital employs four certified application counselors and offers their services at no charge. The hospital also paid for the training required to have its counselors certified. Certified application counselor Beverly Pope said the hospital views the effort as part of its mission to serve the community. Its interesting having this as an added part of my regular job, she told the Hub. I enjoy learning new things so Ive enjoyed doing this, and also its that feeling that youre helping your community. That is really what Stoughton Hospitals about. We definitely see this as a long-term effort to help the community.

Kaiser Family Foundation kff.org/health-reform/state-profile/ state-exchange-profiles-wisconsin Registration finds out what time works best for the consumer and then schedules an appointment with a counselor. Customers are asked to bring along basic information: social security numbers for anyone interested in signing up for coverage and proof of income (a paystub or tax document). If someone has access to health insurance through an employer, we ask for that information as well, Pope explained. Then we take them through the options. We first help them set up an account through the marketplace. For people dont know how to use a computer, a counselor will help set up an email account and then go through the application process with them. Sometimes, if were having trouble on the website, we have actually had to call the 800 number to be able to complete the process, Pope said. Regardless, we exhaust all possibilities to get through it. She noted the healthcare. gov website has improved vastly. We were not even able to create an account for the very first person I met with, she remembered. The website would not allow us to do that. Now more often than not, Im getting through completely to the end where people are able to look at their insurance options and choose what plan theyre interested in.
Getting certified
Kristine Annen, the counselor who helped Germann find insurance he can afford, said shes signed up perhaps 10 people since the hospital began offering the service in early October. Thats about a quarter of the number of people the hospital has helped find a plan, and she wishes more people would take advantage of the service. There is a growing interest among the public, she observed. People are coming in with questions, and were just trying to help answer those questions. If we cant, we find someone who can. Annen said last summer her manager, Michelle Abey, was paying close attention to the ACA also known as Obamacare and asked some counselors if they would like to take the classes required to become certified. Annen and Pope were the first to say yes, and the two attended classes in August. In order to help people navigate the health insurance exchange, the pair also had to pass state and federal exams to become certified. Two other counselors later took courses and passed the exams. Counselors are prohibited from suggesting a particular plan, but they help people compare deductibles and premiums and consider many other details in choosing an appropriate health insurance plan. If they have certain doctors that they currently see, well let them know which plans will allow them continue to see those doctors or if they would have to change, Pope explained. If there are questions that were not able to answer, we can call the individual plans and talk with an agent. But we do not influence or present a bias in any way. Counselors are also not allowed to answer questions about the ACA or finding a plan over the phone.
Applicants must schedule an appointment with the hospital and see a counselor in person. Thats been a drawback when weve had people call us, Annen said. Then we have to apologize and tell them we have to do this in person. Its one of the requirements for our certification. So thats been a challenge, but at least theyre interested and most people then will make an appointment.
Signing up
In Bob Germanns case, he had already visited the governments website, healthcare.gov, and registered by the time he received a phone call from Stoughton Hospital asking if hed like help finding a plan. Germann had been to the hospitals emergency room, and because he didnt have insurance, had worked with a staff member to get some help on that payment, he recalled. The lady from Stoughton Hospital called and said that she could help us get a plan through the marketplace, he said. She said why dont you come in because we have easier access to the marketplace than most people do. Germann said he first tried to register in October and experienced some snafus
on the government website. The site just wasnt set up to handle that many applications at once, he said. By the time he began working with a counselor, most of the problems with the website had been corrected and Germann had no trouble finding a plan with Unity Health and signing up. Hes been satisfied with his insurance provider and also mentioned how his counselor, Annen, took her time to help him find the right plan. We looked at one plan and it seemed pretty good, but I asked if we could keep looking. I told her I dont need to keep the same doctors. And then she found us this program through Unity that is right up my alley. In coverage and affordability, it was perfect.

Thought for the week

The Age of Anxiety
We live in perilous times. Rogue states with chemical or atomic weapons, fanatical terrorist groups spreading fear and hatred across the globe, and technology that changes too quickly for anyone to keep up with it are all part of our modern world. Our fears are stoked by the modern medias 24/7 news cycle and its insistence that something terrible is just around the corner. Even those who are not particularly tuned into the news are anxious; there is a certain anxiety that comes with our modern technology. The noise of the cell phone ringing is like an alarm going off and its often just as startling. The ping of your computer telling you that you have a new message pushes the same anxiety button, and since our phones allow us to be constantly connected we are now living constantly with alarms, buzzers and a sense of time urgency. So, what can we do about all of this? A first step might be to choose more soothing ring tones or just to turn the computer and phone off for extended periods of time. We should also take time out of our busy schedules for solitude and quiet time, a time when we might commune with God or nature and our souls can be at rest. God does not want us to be anxious; be in His presence and trust in the Lord. Christopher Simon via Metro News Service The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Change, Renew & Rejuvenate with Pecs Personal Fitness
Often when you think of a personal trainer, atleast two thoughts come to mind, Who has the money and who has the time? Of course, then other thoughts follow; Its only for people who want to get REALLY buff, and I dont have the patience for it. Pecs is here to change these perceptions. Mick & Mary Pecoraro opened Pecs Personal Fitness over 5 years ago in Stoughton. The couple felt there was a need for a fitness studio that could cater to people on a truly individual basis. In fact, their motto is Changing the world, one body at a time. Pecs is not your typical health club, with personal trainers on staff. There are no crowds, no lines, and no sweaty machines that you have to wipe down. At Pecs, you make an appointment, and upon arrival you will start an hour-long workout that tailors itself to your end goal. You should not fear a training session, Mary states. By getting to know a little about our clients, we are much better able help them reach their own personal goal. We want them to feel comfortable here. T h e r e are no contracts Mary exclaimed. A person can end the training when they want. In fact, Ken and Julie can attest to we often will how long term maintenance set up workouts can lead to long term that you can results. turn into home regimens too. The Pecoraro team wants to remind all of us, that there is no quick fix for getting into shape. Remember the turtle wins the race, Mary said. There are so many diet and exercise fads out there right now People are willing to spend so much money for something that wont necessarily help them long term. The Pecoraros wanted to break the stereotype of personal trainers and the type of clients that go to a personal trainer. The concept of Pecs Personal Fitness ensued. A regimen complete with nutrition counseling can be learned at the

studio, and then can be taken home and adapted it to everyday life. As Mick confirms, Its not just about the workout itself, its about the whole package, including ones diet and mental attitude. If you dont feel good about yourself, you are less likely to stick with a fitness program Sometimes it might mean replacing bad habits with good habits, Mary adds. Who are these clients? We have 12 year olds to youngsters at 70 plus come to us for training and encouragement, Mick states. There is the pro-type athlete, maybe played sports in high school/college, to the everyday, non-athletic person. We even work with people who have had recent hip or knee replacements. Mary adds, Yes, people who are back in the swing of life from these surgeries are very appreciative of our theory of baby steps. We spend a good deal of the first session, talking about what the personal goal actually might be. It could be running a 5k marathon or simply moving around the house or up and down the stairs easier. Both Pecoraros are certified by the International Sports Science Association and are recognized as Certified Strength Trainers by the ISSA. This also means that they are consistently learning new techniques, programs and tips that they can pass on to clients. How about the 6 pack abs or non-turkey arms? Patience, and consistency, Mary points out. You need to start now,
for the summer. That is why we are here to help you too. People need encouragement, and guidance through this process. On the other hand, I create individual boot camps for those who want to step up the game. Clients are always welcome to come in and work on the cardio too. If an individual travels frequently for work, Pecs can set up a work/ travel program as well. How can one get their exercise while stuck in a motel/hotel without a workout facility? Mary states, If they are in a secure setting. I will tell clients to utilize the stairwell. Stairs can be used for stretching as well as cardio. Take the stairs up and then rest for a few minutes while taking the elevator back down. So Rome wasnt built in a day? Again, who wins the race, the turtle or the hare? Mary reminds us. We want to stress that there is no quick fix to getting into better shape. Its all about the baby steps and realizing your body as a whole. The brain, the food thats being eaten, the endorphins, the muscles, etc If one works against the other, the end result wont be as positive. Mick nods, If you go to the doctor for a prescription for losing weight, and getting into better shape; what

Stoughton juinior Adam Fryer swims to a fifth-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle during Saturdays College Events Invitational in Stoughton. Fryer posted a time of 2 minutes, 05.42 seconds. Below, Lukas Matthews swims the 100-yard backstroke during Saturdays invite.
The host Stoughton boys swimming came away from Saturdays College Events Invitational with wins from senior Connor Sawyers in the 200 individual medley and a secondplace finish by junior Ben Schleppenbach in the 100 backstroke. Sawyers posted a personal best time of 2 minutes, 12.33 seconds to take the 200 IM by sevenhundredths of a second over McFarland junior Sam Mischio. Schleppenbach finished a little less than a second off the pace of Oregon/ Belleville sophomore Eli Rule en route to second place with a personal best 1:01.18 in the 100 back.
Stoughton also saw Schleppenbach add a fifth-place finish in the 200 backstroke (2:18.35). Stoughtons next best individual finish came from sophomore Gabe Ross, who added a fourth-place finish in the 100 breaststroke with a personal best time of 1:12.35. Junior Adam Fyrer, meanwhile, finished fifth with a best time in the 200 free (2:05.42). Stoughtons 400 free relay team of sophomores Ian Trautman and Tristin Heisig, Fryer and Sawyers add the end of the meet to swim to third place in 3:53.46. The same quartet swam to third place earlier in the meet, posting a time of 1:40.99 in the 200 free relay.
Stoughton came away with 18 personal best times overall Saturday, including Jack Lonabotn, Trevor Pope, Ethan Olson and Sawyers in the 50

It could have been tough last Saturday at non-conference McFarland as the Stoughton girls basketball team only suited up nine girls and was without sophomore leading scorer Hannah Hobson. Hobson, who left with a concussion during the Dec. 28 game at Whitewater, is averaging 12.4 points per game and leads the team with 87 in seven games. But the shorthanded Vikings (4-4 overall, 1-2 Badger South) persevered with a 48-47 win in overtime, head coach Rami Hoaglin said. After surviving a 3-point barrage in the second half that helped the Spartans come back from an eight-point deficit at halftime, Stoughton went into overtime with defense on the mind. The result was a 5-4 advantage with three points by freshman Marissa Robson and two points by freshman Payton Kahl. Kahl finished with 12 to lead Stoughton, while Robson added 11. McFarland hit seven of eight 3-pointers in the second half, led by senior guard Rosie Runde with four. She scored 18 to lead the Spartans. Senior guard Stevie Winer also had four 3-pointers, including three in the second half. She scored 15 points. Hoaglin said that when the other team is shooting well even with good positioning and communication, the best thing to do is not give up offensive rebounds. We did a good job at getting the rebounds, she said. And being able to score offensively, we still were doing the things we needed to do, which is not turning the ball over and getting easy looks. You can survive a run by still sticking together and working hard in every phase. The Vikings jumped out to a 19-11 lead at halftime, including a 10-4 advantage in the first quarter. McFarland outscored Stoughton 32-24 in the second half. The Vikings travel to Milton at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and go to Richland Center at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. Stoughton then hosts Monroe at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Hasselberger takes second at Cheesehead Invitational in Kaukauna

ANTHONY IOZZO
Junior Zach Hasselberger had the highest finish for the Stoughton wrestling team last Friday and Saturday at the Cheesehead Invitational at Kaukauna Hasselberger High School. Hasselberger took second place in a tournament featuring out-of-state teams and some of the best Division 1 and 2 programs in Wisconsin, including Kaukauna, ranked No. 1 in D1, Ellsworth (No. 1 in D2), Two Rivers (No. 4 in D2), Wrightstown (No. 7 in D2), Sparta,
(No. 10 in D2), and Sheboygan Falls, an honorable mention in D2. Hasselbergers place helped Stoughton, which is ranked No. 8 in D 1, finish 19th out of 26 teams with 230 1/2 points. Hasselberger (25-3) is ranked ninth in the 126-pound weight class, but he was at 120 pounds for this tournament. He went 5-1 Friday and Saturday with his only loss in the title match against Nolan Hellickson (Southeast Polk, Iowa), who is 24-0. Hasselberger lost that match by a 10-2 major decision. Hasslebergers wins were against Aidan Yde (Hartland Arrowhead) by pin in 1 minute, 51 seconds, Colt Kielbasa (St. Ritas of Cascia, Ill.) by a 6-4 sudden victory in overtime, Ty
Pelot (Two Rivers) ranked No. 2 in D2 by a 6-4 decision, Zach Smith (Port Washington) by a 6-5 decision and Kegan Calkins (Montini Catholic, Ill.) by a pin in 3 mimutes, 36 seconds. Sophomore Colin Kraus, ranked No. 1 at 132 pounds, wrestled at 126 pounds and took seventh with a 3-3 record. Kraus (24-5) pinned Jonah Williams (Southeast Polk) in 3 minutes in the seventh-place match. He also picked up a 15-5 major decision over Brady Maes (Wrightstown) and a 12-10 decision over Cortez Arredondo (Simley, Minn.). Freshman Brandon Klein, an honorable mention at 106 pounds, took eighth. Junior Austin Benton also took eighth at 182 pounds.
Klein (18-8) pinned Ethan Cota (Kenyon-Wanamingo, Minn.) in 3:18 but fell in the seventh-place match to Adam Brown (Southeast Polk) by a pin in 4:57. Benton (18-9) had a pin over Mitchell Murphy (Wrightstown) in 4:44, and he defeated Demetre Smith (Lockport) 9-4. He fell in the seventh-place match to Antonio Porraspita (High Point, Md.), 7-0. Junior Gunnar Helland was 10th at 152 pounds, while freshman Tristan Jenny, ranked No. 13 at 113 pounds, grabbed 13th place. Helland (15-9) pinned T-Dot Jueajoi (Hartford) in 3:40 and won a 2-1 decision over Brady Buchheit (Southeast Polk). He also picked up a
5-3 decision by tiebreaker over Sean Mattek (Sheboygan Falls). Helland fell in the ninth-place match by a 9-1 major decision to Chris Prosser (Edwardsville, Ill.) Jenny (19-8) won the 13th-place match with a forfeit win by injury default.

with two-and-a-half second remaining in the third period. Needless to say, Jochmann and the Icebergs felt they were cheated out of a goal. The 10th-ranked Icebergs werent about to object roughly 17 minutes later though when the same exact situation happened when Stoughtons Casey Marsh tallied a goal with zero showing on the clock. Despite being outshot 46-29, the Icebergs were able to remain in the game thanks to 44 saves by Oregon junior goaltender Kenzie Torpy. Unfortunately for the Icebergs (9-5-2), it wasnt enough. It was a game that Jochmann said his team needed to win in order to gain some confidence and gain momentum going into the meat of January. We have a very tough climb through January ahead of us, and making the most of our chances to win games is something we really need to take to heart, Jochmann said. It was a disappointing loss, and we need to come away with better performances against teams that we match up well against. Senior Libby Breaker turned away 28 shots for eighth-ranked Appleton (103-0) in the win.

Vikings win fourth quarter to secure road non-conference win

ANTHONY IOZZO
The MSO Icebergs lost a very unusual non-conference game on the road Saturday against non-conference Appleton United. Each team scored a goal with no time left on the clock in the final two periods with the Icebergs coming up a goal short en route to a 2-1 loss inside the Appleton Family Ice Center. Though the goals were recorded at 16:59 at the end of the second and third periods, the scoreboard read all zeros prior to each shot being taken. Obviously, at the end of the second period, we were irate that a goal was allowed with no time left on the clock, head coach Mike Jochmann said. The explanation that was given was that the period ends when the

Election: Four candidates for three school board seats

Continued from page 1 Stoughton Area School District Board of Education are up for re-election in April board president Liz Menzer and members Brett Schumacher and Bev Fergus. Menzer has been a member of the board since 2007, and has served as its president since 2009. Schumacher was appointed in 2010 to fill a vacant seat and won re-election in 2011. Fergus was appointed late last year to fill the seat left vacant with the resignation of Amy McFarland. She had previously been appointed to the board last January to fill the seat of Verlyn Schmalle, who resigned to take a job in another area. She ran for re-election for that seat in April but was defeated. One challenger, Allison Sorg, has also declared her candidacy. She was in the running last year to be appointed to fill McFarlands term, but board members selected Fergus. Board members are elected to three-year terms, with the top three vote-getters gaining election.

Julies story is about knowing when to say, I need help, I cannot do this by myself. With a history of back pain and an old shoulder injury, Julie wanted to regain her overall strength and improve her health. The decision to make that telephone call to Pecs came when she was tired of feeling unsteady. I had weak knees and had trouble navigating the ice or hill hiking. She admitted that as a physical therapist, she knew what to do. Did I have the exercise equipment at home? Yes. Did I consistently use it? No. Did I belong to a 24 hour gym? Yes. But I wasnt able to use the equipment without competition with real weightlifters. As a professional therapist, she had a good feel for what felt right for her body. What I didnt have was a time

commitment, regular practice, and positive reinforcement. I needed someone to move me through exercises someone to observe my form and monitor my progression. Pecs was Julies answer and solution. Mary helped me through the exercise regime process of slowly and safely with consistency. She also reintroduced me to the patience needed for the journey. I have slowly and progressively lost weight. I have more energy and I have better balance. Julie also commented on how much easier it is to do recreational activities. And, I am able to work my sports and orthopedic practice with greater ease. However, she admits that there was a point to where she scaled back on her sessions. Guess, what happened? I found I just didnt push myself and work as hard on my own. Julie then returned to going to Pecs twice weekly. She also reevaluated her eating habits. Mary helped her become more aware of nutrition and the relationship between eating habits and exercise. Julie knows that health and exercise maintenance is the key to longevity. She knows there are many people who just cant wait to exercise. Not me, at least not yet. What I do know is that if I dont do it; I miss it. AND I feel better every time I do a good exercise routine. I am nearing 70 and am healthier than I have been in 20 years. If I can do it, anyone can do it! My health & well- being are

not limited to my heredity or my age. It has everything to do with my attitude, commitment and activity-today. Well said Julie! Ken had not formally exercised since high school. Although fairly active, he admits, that did not keep my jeans size from creeping up each decade; adding a couple inches in my 30s, a couple in my 40s and then a couple inches additional inches appeared in my 50s. I could always drop a few pounds by eliminating the beer, potato chips and ice cream. But those, all too common love handles were not going away. Seeing the decline in the balance and stability of his parents reinforced one fact. I needed to exercise! And since I plan to live to 120, 60 is a great age to start. Before Ken began his journey with Pecs, I had no idea what types of weights/machines to use, nor did I have any idea of the various exercises to work specific muscles. This changed when he received an introductory package as a gift from his family. Mary Pecoraros approach to demonstrate the exercise and then making sure that he was doing it correctly was very helpful to Ken. After a few sessions, Mary pointed out the need for cardio-vascular exercise to get the heart rate up and increase my endurance. Ken added, I thought I could just add some brisk walks or something to my daily routine.

However, he found out that actually going into Pecs and using the treadmill kept him from skipping this part of his exercise program. Mary even developed a few variations for the treadmill workout to keep the routine fresh. With Marys help, Ken learned that his diet was carb heavy. He needed to add more fruits and vegetables. I now make an effort to make each meal more balanced by adding protein to breakfast and fruit, vegetables and salads to other meals. Mary had a great suggestion of adding chopped spinach to my scrambled eggs. After the first year, Kens love handles disappeared as well as his middle-age paunch. He now has a routine that he states, has become so regular that, I feel odd when I have to skip a session. After 2 plus years at Pecs Personal Fitness, Ken explains that his original goal was the vague knowledge that, I should exercise. He further states, But having kept off the love handles and that paunch for a second year has kept me focused on maintaining my regular schedule and better diet. Going to Pecs each day is a great way to start the day and keep my weight and exercise program on track. Pecs Personal Fitness: changing the world one body at a time.

SANDBURG ELEMENTARY School MSCR after school program is looking for volunteers to come in for one hour a week to read and tutor literacy with students on a one-to-one basis.

Volunteers also provide long term service by facilitating quick placement of dogs into forever homes. United Way 2-1-1 is seeking new volunteers to become Information and Referral Specialists. If you are looking for an opportunity to learn more about community resources and would like to assist people in finding ways to get and give help, United Way 2-1-1 may be the place for you.
