With net new construction up just 1 percent in

little room to increase its

Our levy limit is going to

Council favors hybrid plan

Bill Livick
The hybrid option for

U.S. Hwy. 51 earned the
citys backing last week in
its official response to the
state Department of Transportation.
The DOT has been
soliciting feedback for
several years on how it
can increase capacity
for the highway, which
runs through the middle

of Stoughton as Main
Street and then turns north
toward McFarland.
One option that has been
presented was a bypass
with expansion to four
lanes all the way through;
another was a low-build,
short-term solution involving repaving and minor
adjustments; a third was a

Stoughton Area School District
Compensation plan still on, might get changes

Scott De Laruelle
After several weeks of debate

and some vocal complaints from
teachers and parents, Stoughton
Area School Board members voted to leave the districts controversial teacher compensation plan
in place while a special committee
works to draft changes.

Board members voted 5-3 at
their Sept. 8 meeting against putting the compensation plan on
hold for a year. Members Liz
Menzer, Donna Tarpinian, Scott
Dirks, Brett Schumacher and Bev
Fergus voted against getting rid
of the plan, with Wanda Grasse,
Joe Freye and Alison Sorg voting
in the minority and Yoli FitzGibbon abstaining.
The board had approved the
plan in May without much opposition, though it was not endorsed
Courier Hub
by the Stoughton Education Association. Board member Wanda

Grasse, who put forth the motion
to put the plan on hold, said its
clear that when the board initially
voted on the plan, they could not
foresee the significant amount of
hardship that would result.
We made a mistake, I think,
as a board, and its time for us to
acknowledge it and show that we
do listen when people let us know
theyre very, very, very disappointed, she said. We rushed
into this, now were saying its
too late to do anything, and weve

lost 37 educators. If you want to
say this was created by staff, why
not put it to a vote? If we want to
know how the majority of staff
feels, why dont we ask them?
Superintendent Tim Onsager
said the district has had 37 resignations and retirements this year
after averaging fewer than 14 the
past five years.
Do I like the number any more
than you do? he asked. No, I
dont like it when we lose staff,
(but) more than half of those
occurred before people were

placed on the career ladder (in
July). Were losing staff, but our
numbers are not out of whack
with any other (district) in Dane
County.
Board member Scott Dirks said
hes talked to teachers who are
very much in favor of this plan,
and he said some are very afraid
of publicly voicing that support because of the pressure and
intimidation theyre feeling from

Pickleball gains momentum in community

New courts
expected to open in
spring
Samantha Christian
On an unusually cool
and misty morning in late
August, nearly a dozen
adults gathered at East
Side Park to participate in
a friendly competition of
pickleball as they do most
days of the week. The adult
group of many retirees play
not only to get exercise, but
also to create friendships.
The sport is a mix
between table tennis, tennis and badminton, and it is
played with a small paddle
a hollow plastic ball with
holes. Pickleball is one of
the fastest-growing sports
in the country and is very
popular in retirement communities down south, but
it is making its way to the
Midwest. With a slower
ball, smaller court and lower
net, pickleball can be easier
for some people to play than
tennis, so many courts have
become dual-purpose just by
adding lines and a portable
net to each side of a regular
tennis court.
The pickleball group started in 2010 when resident
Jo Ann Lien approached
the City of Stoughton.
Open play is now available
at two courts at East Side
Park through the Parks and
Pickleball schedule

Recreation Department, but

it is mostly run by longtime
members.
Among them is Charlotte
Hamilton, who said she
plays every day that someone is at the courts. She even
brings along a few extra
paddles for new players to
borrow since all the other
equipment (including nets,
balls and court markers) for
the game is provided in a
locked shed by the courts.
Its a really good group
of people, Hamilton said,
noting that her favorite part
of playing is the interaction
with everybody.
Over the last five years,
the group is getting a little
bigger all the time, said
Nancy Fuller. One member
even brought his 11-yearold grandson to play with
the group recently. The

increased numbers allow
people to switch partners
more often and even sit out
to take a break between
games.
While men and women
play interchangeably, there
are also some couples who
participate together, like
Laurie Bratvold and Jerry
Norsman.
Norsman has been playing for three years and heard
about the sport when he was
in Arizona.
Its really gaining
momentum, Norsman said.
I love it it keeps us
young.
He said the sport may
come more naturally for former tennis players because
of the hand-eye coordination
aspect, but it is easy enough

for anyone to pick up.

Beginners can learn from
Bratvold and Sandy Burie
on Tuesday nights from
6-7:30 p.m. or later through
September.
Pickleball group members said they have never
had any scheduling conflicts
with tennis players, but they
look forward to having more
options on the new courts at
Veterans Park, when they
are finished. They said are
thankful for the citys cooperation and support throughout the years.
Parks supervisor John
Halverson said that the tennis court at Veterans Park

was blacktopped and will
be painted with lines for
two pickleball courts in the
spring when the surface
cures. The city has also
constructed a fence that is
6-feet-tall on both ends and
20-feet-wide in the corners.
When the weather is no
longer suitable to play outdoors, the group will move
inside at the Yahara school
gym with a different schedule. However, players have
noticed some interferences
there since the lines are not
painted or taped on the floor

but rather marked off with
plastic that can skid. The
group is considering asking
local churches with gymnasiums if there is space to
play.
Carla Ritchie, who members called the groups messenger, said pickleball is
easy to learn and set up and
provides a rigorous workout.
The game is part of Active
Stoughton for Life, a movement to improve physical
activity and sport in the city.

Dyreson Bridge almost ready
$150K grant will

assist Stoughton
Wellness Coalition
Bill Livick
A national organization recently awarded an

Evansville group a grant
to help prevent youth substance use in Stoughton by
strengthening the Stoughton Wellness Coalition.
Building A Safer Evansville is one of 697 recipients of the Drug-Free
Communities Support
Program grants (totalling $86 million), which
provide local community
coalitions funding to prevent kids from using prescription drugs, marijuana, tobacco and alcohol.
BASE will receive
$150,000 over two years
to mentor SWC (a partnership of the City of
Stoughton, Stoughton
Area School District
and Stoughton Hospital)
to involve and engage
the community in these
efforts.
SWC and BASE will
specifically work to
address underage drinking and prescription drug
Construction of the Dyreson Bridge is shown from East Dyreson Road on Sept. 15. Closed for more
than three years, the bridge is being restored at a cost of almost $1 million. Dunn officials expect the
historic bridge to be reopened in November.
The bridge, originally

built in 1868 and replaced
in 1897 with the current
structure, is one of the last
truss bridges in the state,
Minihan said.
Its listed in a DOT report
titled Historic Highway
Bridges in Wisconsin,
which indicates the bridge
was engineered and fabricated by Milwaukee Bridge
and Iron Works and built by
another Milwaukee company at a cost of $1,028.
The overall project is
585 feet, including a new
approach on both ends.
When completed, there
will be a stop sign on each
end because its a one-lane
bridge.
Located between Stoughton and McFarland, Dyreson Bridge is a significant
representative example of

Truss highway bridge construction, as practiced in
November celebration
Dunn officials are planning
festivities for the November
reopening that could include
some draft horses pulling a
wagon and others pulling a
carriage across the bridge.
Theres also talk of a poetry
reading to celebrate the occasion.
Minihan called the
bridges location a magical
place.
In the past people
have recognized that, he
observed. Weve closed it
in the past for poetry readings.
He added its been a gathering place for centuries, if
not millennia. And despite
the cost, town officials and
residents were determined to
restore the bridge rather than
replace it with something
modern.
Minihan said the historical
importance of the bridge runs
high in Dunn.
Theres a fish weir built
by Native Americans there
that we think goes back
over 1,000 years, and then
there are remnants of an old
dam that you can see in lowwater times, he said. The
archeological record going
back shows Native American habitation starting about
1,200 years ago and evidence
of regular human habitation
12,000 years ago. So its
kind of a special place.

Rare, historic
Wisconsin between 1895

and 1910, according to an
engineering report.
Minihan said the company doing the restoration
encountered a few surprises, which account for the
cost overruns.
Were going to have to
jack up the bridge and take
the rollers out, Minihan
explained. There are rollers on one side, and the
structural engineers think
they have to be replaced
with, believe it or not, a
Teflon-coated steel plate.
Because of temperature
differentials, the bridge
gets longer or shorter, and
it has to be able to move,
he added. So one end of it
moves.
Construction workers
also discovered that the
abutment, which Minihan
and others thought was solid cement, is not. Instead,
its an over-pour of
cement on limestone rock
and has to be replaced.
The concrete foundation
turned out to be a concrete
wrap around limestone,
which we didnt anticipate, Hasslinger said.
The bridges wood decking is also being replaced.
The town will be responsible for putting a seal coat
surface over the timber
decking and some work on
the approaches.
misuse and abuse. BASE

will do this by strengthening SWCs organizational
structure and helping to
increase the coalitions
leadership and community
readiness to address youth
substance use problems
in Stoughton. The Evansville group will also assist
SWC in working through
a strategic planning process that will result in a
comprehensive community action plan.
Jennifer Braun, BASE
executive director, said
the goal is to prepare
SWC for applying for its
own DFC grant in 2017 by
building up SWCs internal structure and prevention expertise.
Prevention is a powerful tool to counteract drug
use in our community, and
we will use this funding
to help youth in Stoughton make healthy choices
about substance abuse,
she said in a news release.

Town of Dunn officials

anticipate reopening the
historic Dyreson Bridge in
early November after closing it in more than three
years ago over concerns
about its structural integrity.
Town chair Ed Minihan
told the Observer Monday
steel I-beams supporting the
historic bridge had rusted to
the point that their flanges
could be bent by hand.
Town officials had hoped
to rebuild the 118-year-old
bridge long before now, but
a bid in 2012 to perform the
work came in higher than
expected and from a company that did not have the
requisite experience, Minihan said.
We finally got a bid from
a company that knows how
to do the work, he said.
The state Department of
Transportation closed the
bridge in May 2011 at the
towns request. A DOT
report indicates that about
75 vehicles passed over the
bridge each day before it
was closed.
Construction to restore
the bridge on Dyreson
Road one of two statedesignated Rustic Roads
in the township began
in June and is expected
to cost nearly $1 million.
The towns share is about
$200,000, said Dunn clerk/
business manager Cathy
Hasslinger. Most of the
remaining funding will
come from grants through
the DOT.
The original estimate to
do the work was $856,499,
and was deemed too high.
When the project was rebid,
Waukesha-based Zenithtech Inc. was awarded
the contract with a bid of
$760,918.
The final DOT estimate
that included design, engineering and change orders
brought the total estimated
cost to $920,000, Hasslinger said.
The project is complicated because of the bridges
historic nature and also the
fact that its 127-foot length
spans the Yahara River.

Riverfront restaurant gets support

Noise concerns will be
addressed with liquor
license
Mark Ignatowski
Despite concerns about noise,

city officials forwarded plans
Monday for a new restaurant
along the Yahara River.
Owner Dave Eugster hopes to
renovate the old Waters Edge
Tavern at 324 Water St., and
the public hearing brought out
concerns from people who live
across the river.
The City of Stoughton Planning Commission forwarded
the site plan and conditional use
permit to the Common Council,
however, with the understanding that limitations on hours and
noise would be handled when
the business applies for a liquor
license.
Eugster and Mary Jo Vike
plan to renovate the building to
include an outdoor seating area
on the rivers edge and a new
pier. The interior would get a
makeover and the addition of a

banquet area. The theme would
be Norwegian, Eugster said, with
the working name of Nauti Norske. The restaurant would focus
on afternoon and evening dining,
with possible one man band
type music, Eugster said.
Our desire is not to have a
late-night crowd, he said.
Three neighbors pointed out
past uses of the site and how far
noise travels along the river. One
who lives across the river on the
other side of Main Street said
noise from the old Waters Edge
Tavern sounded as if it were
coming from inside her house.
Those concerns will be directed
to the citys Public Safety committee, mayor Donna Olson said.
Although they have yet to apply
for a liquor license, Eugster said
they intend to serve alcohol. The
next public safety meeting is
planned for 6 p.m. Wednesday,
Sept. 23.
Commission members gave
unanimous support to the permit
and site plan, saying the use fits
with the downtown development
plan and could help spur more
businesses in the area.
Previous requests included a

dog daycare that was denied by
the commission because the use
was deemed incompatible with
the downtown business plan. The
Nauti Norske site pan and CUP
request will need to be approved
by the council.
Although commissioners supported the Nauti Norske plan,
commissioner Matt Hanna urged
the committee and business owners to work with the neighboring
residents to come up with some
rules for noise everyone could
agree on.
Eugsters restaurant plan
includes three phases, according
to city documents.
The first phase being the
shore restoration, wharf and pier
installation, the application
reads. The second phase would
be for a new interior and outdoor
kitchen addition. The third phase
is planned to include a new banquet area, storage and patio.
Eugster said he is working on
getting approval from the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources to restore the shoreline
and install some rip-rap rock.

ASSOCIATION
likely with a mixture of housing

and commercial properties.
The city plans to seek proposals to redevelop the area from
Fourth Street to Seventh Street
between East South Street and
the river. An area between Seventh and Eighth streets could be
redeveloped, too, but was not
included in this rezoning application because one industrial site
is still being used by Stoughton
Trailers.
The new zoning would zone
the area MR-24, a type of highdensity residential zoning. City
officials have said the area would
ultimately see another rezoning
request to allow for mixed-used
development once a project is
proposed. Changing the zoning
now serves as a signal to developers that the property isnt intended for industrial use anymore.
Commissioner Todd Krcma
voted against the rezoning plan
because five residential properties included in the rezoning area
would be limited in the amount
of renovations they could make
after the zoning change. Krcma
said he was in favor of the redevelopment, but could not support
limiting the existing property
owners rights.
A first reading by the Common Council is planned for Sept.
22, with a final reading and vote
slated for Oct. 13.

Apartment proposal
As part of the planned development process, developer Todd
Nelson got some feedback from
commissioners about a 14-unit
apartment complex for the lot
behind Wells Fargo Bank on
South Van Buren Street.
The development would have
eight two-bedroom units and six
one-bedroom units and shared
underground parking. The development would have an elevator, though Nelson said the units
wouldnt be specifically marketed for seniors. The apartments
would be leased at market rate,
he said.
In order to fit the building on
the property, some variances to
the building setback requirements
would have to be made. Nelson
said he hadnt heard any objections from the neighboring property owners he had talked to, but
said they would like to see more
information.

A bird similar to the one taken Sept. 11 from Diakonos Designs on

Main Street is still at the store. Herbie the heron was stolen from
the downtown gallery between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. last Friday.
If the bird burglary

was indeed a prank, Guzman said the bird could be
returned no questions
asked to the store. Any
information about the theft
could be called into the
Stoughton Police non-emergency line at 873-3374.
The store also had a
necklace and earrings stolen from a window display
two days after the sculpture
was taken, Guzman said.
The display is in a window

shared with Cheesers, Diakonos downstairs neighbor. Guzman said Cheesers
staff told him they were
busy Sunday and didnt
notice anything taken.
Cheesers was the victim
of a theft in 2012 similar to
the missing heron. Cheesers mascot Pierre was
taken from outside the store
and returned two weeks
later.

Store owner seeks stolen statue

A missing sculpture
has ruffled a few feathers
downtown and adds to a
string of thefts from Diakonos Design on Main Street.
Herbie the Heron a
roughly four-foot tall metal sculpture was taken
sometime between 10 a.m
and 2 p.m. Friday, Sept.
11, said owner Ed Guzman.
The bird sculpture was at
the bottom of a shared stairwell, Guzman said, and is
very, very unique. The
piece is different than the
crane sculptures sold at the
store in that Herbie has a
ruffling comb of feathers on
his head and some feathers
on his under belly.
There might be a dozen
of them in circulation from
this artist, Guzman told
the Hub, adding that the
gallery hasnt sold a heron
since last year. This would
be the only one brought
home on Sept. 11.
With Stoughton High
Schools homecoming held
last weekend, Guzman said
theyve entertained the idea
that sculpture snatcher took
the bird as a prank. However, other thefts two in
May and another on Sunday, Sept. 13 have put
some doubt in his mind.
Who, in broad daylight,
takes something that big?
he asked.
The heron weighs
between 20 and 30 pounds
and has a large metal base.
The bird also had a fish in
its mouth, Guzman said. The
sculpture is valued at $86.

Addressing God by Name

It is well known that there are many
names for God in the Bible, from
Jehovah and Yahweh, which are personal names, to names like Elohim, ElShaddai and Adonai, which are more
like titles. This raises an interesting
and important question: how should
we address God? It probably depends
on the context, and as long as we are
being respectful, the particular choice
may not be crucial, but we certainly
should be careful to not misuse Gods
name, for profane purposes (Leviticus
22:2), or simply using Gods name in
vain (Exodus 20:7) So what do these
names mean? Jehovah and Yahweh
are both derived from the Tetragrammaton, the four-letter name for God,
YHWH, which means I am who
am, and indicates that God is the
ultimate being, Being itself, and that
God encompasses everything. Elohim
means Strength or Power, El-Shaddai
means God Almighty, and Adonai
means Lord or Master. So all these
names are appropriate for particular
prayers, and we should use the name
appropriate to the context. And just as
our earthly mother and father enjoy
hearing from us, so too does our
heavenly father enjoy hearing from His
children.
Christopher Simon, Metro News
Service
Do not be anxious about anything,
but in every situation, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present
your requests to God.

10. She attended Wesleyan
University and studied history, literature, drama and
music. After graduating she
moved to Boston, where she
began playing music in coffeehouses and folk clubs.
She was part of the so-called
new song movement that
emerged from Boston/Cambridge in the early 1990s and
was just a few years behind
Shawn Colvin and Mary
Chapin Carpenter.
Williams big break came
around 95, when Baez
recorded one of her songs
and took Williams on the
road. The two toured the
U.S. and Europe together,
with Williams opening
Baezs shows and occasionally sitting in for a set. Since
then, Williams has enjoyed
steady and growing success
for her intimate songs and
warm stage presence.
Music critic Hendrik
Hertzberg, of the New Yorker magazine, has described
Williams as one of Americas very best singer-songwriters.
In an interview 15 years
ago, Williams told the
Hub the key to her success
comes from following a
very subtle muse. The lyrics
and storytelling are the foundation of my career. I have
only succeeded when Ive
been able to quietly recognize my inner authority and
my unique voice.

Dar Williams has been on

some of the most exhilarating flatpicking on guitar that

youve ever seen or heard.
He and this band wife
Jenny Keel on bass and longtime collaborator Will Lee
on banjo will make their
first appearance in Stoughton next Thursday. All three
are vocalists as well as stellar
instrumentalists.
Keel was raised in a musical family immersed in bluegrass. His father, and later
his older brother, schooled
him in the rich mountain
music of Southwest Virginia
at a young age.
Keel said he took his
fathers advice years ago
when he said, If you ever
want to be recognized as a
musician, you have to play
your own music and have
your own voice.
He said that inspired him
to become a songwriter,
although he first had to master the guitar. He counts
Tony Rice, Clarence White
and Django Reinhardt among
his biggest guitar influences.
Later, I got into Jerry
Garcia and Jimi Hendrix and
tried to incorporate that feel
in what I do, he said.
Keel formed his first band
with Will Lee in 1990. Three
years later he took first place
in the guitar competition at
the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Hes been on a tear
ever since, performing with
such acoustic music notables

as Rice, Keller Williams and
the late Vassar Clements, to
name a few.
Keel has recorded 13
studio albums, collaborating with a host of artists.
He formed the Larry Keel
Experience in 1996 and has

worked with that trio in one
form or another ever since.
Until recently, the group had
been a quartet known as Larry Keel and Natural Bridge,
but when their mandolin
player moved on to greener
pastures, the group returned
to the Larry Keel Experience.
Jenny and Will and
myself have sort of reinvented our sound where were
not fully electric, but we can
step in there and rock a place
out and get down and experiment more, Keel told the
Courier Hub in an interview

guitar and add a lot of effects

to it. I have a couple pedal
boards; our banjo player does
the same thing he plays a
regular banjo and has some
pedals.
Keel said the bands shows
are about 99 percent original music with a tasty cover
in there. Were sort of doing
our own thing. Its a lot of
fun.
Quoting his friend Keller
Williams, Keel said the band
tries to feel out its audiences
and play what people want to
hear.
You dont want to keep a
good crowd down, he said.
Keel said his approach to
live performance is to take
audiences on a journey for
the evening to get their
minds off their troubles.
We really pour everything we have into our
music, he promised.
Keels Opera House show
will feature the band probably be plugged in for a while,
and youll hear some bluegrass here and there, he said.

Compensation: Committee will be tasked to make changes to plan during this school year
Continued from page 1
I cant change Act 10. I cant change some

of the mandates some that I like and some
that I dont coming down from the state
level.
the union and from some of

their colleagues.
I dont think it would be
at all correct or even wise
to say were only going
to listen to the squeaky
wheels, he said. Or if
people come out and in
public complain, thats
enough reason to go back
on this.
Onsager said 28 of the
districts 244 educators
have opted out of the compensation plan, though
he noted
that new
hires didnt
have the
choice. He
said around
86 percent
of district
t e a c h e r s Onsager
are in the
career ladder compensation plan but
have until Oct. 1 to opt out.
Tim Onsager,
SASD superintendent
Next steps
Fergus said at the boards
Aug. 25 meeting, members
present (Grasse and Sorg
were absent) agreed on the
need to reconvene a committee that recommended
the original plan, to make
some fixes.
Were sincerely committed to looking at these
issues for next year, she
said. We really want
the committee to reconvene and start working to
address the concerns.

SHS science teacher Lisa Schneeberger talks to school board members Sept. 8 about her opposition to the district compensation plan.
Onsager said he will take

up SEA official Jack Bernfelds offer to have discussions on how to improve
staff morale at the district.

He said he has yet to talk
to anybody in another district who doesnt say that
staff morale is low in their

district and that theyre not
losing staff.
I welcome the conversations, Jack, and I
welcome the meetings,
because if youre serious,
Im serious about working
together, he said. But
theres some things I cant
change. I cant change Act
10. I cant change some of
the mandates some that I
like and some that I dont
coming down from the
state level.
Board president Menzer
said the plan hasnt even
been given a chance
to work, as its not yet
been implemented. She
said staff should be given
the opportunity to work
through the plan and
make needed changes in
time for next school year.
We need to bring this
to some closure so we can
move on and make it better, Menzer said. I dont
know if its the intended
or unintended consequence
of Act 10, but what I find
most frustrating is if the
objective there was to
divide and conquer, oh

boy, that is really happening here.
Teacher movement
During the consent agenda portion of the meeting,
the board accepted the resignations of five district
teachers.
Later in the meeting, Onsager said based
on enrollment numbers,
another kindergarten and
first grade teacher are
needed at Sandhill Elementary, as well as a full-time
educational assistant at
Stoughton High School. He
said the district has hired
all the staff positions that
were vacant.
Public comment
Six people spoke at the
meeting, all supporting
teachers and asking district officials, in one way
or another, to make needed
changes to improve the
teacher compensation plan
and educator morale at
the district. The speakers
included a teacher, Lisa
Schneeberger, who is opting out of the plan, despite

the fact that she was placed
in the category she wanted
to be in.
I am choosing to opt
out of the career ladder
because I do not see how
I fit in this model longterm, she said. Please
do not think I want to stay
where Im at because Im
afraid of doing work. I
want to stay where I am at
because of the goal I have
set for myself is to be the
best classroom teacher I
can be, and that just does
not seem to be the main
focus of any of the higher
levels on the career ladder.
Enrollment up?
Onsager said preliminary
numbers for this school
year are up from last year.
The official student count
for school districts in the
state will be taken Friday.
Hopefully weve maybe
hit the bottom and maybe
were starting to come up,
but its only one year, he
said. Hopefully thats a
trend. Hopefully weve
seen some more houses
being developed. Preliminary talks say were
getting kids from (older)
houses that we havent had
kids from in a long time,
so maybe as older families
move out, families with
students are moving in.

Stoughton head football coach Dan Prahl gives his team a post game victory speech Friday after the team rang the victory bell with their 31-23 Badger South Conference
win over Fort Atkinson.
Home sweet home win

Vikings win in all three
phases against Blackhawks
Michael Fiez
Stoughton High School met

Fort Atkinson for their homecoming game on a chilly Friday night,
coming away with a 31-23 victory.
The Vikings won all three phases of the games, showing the value of special teams in particular.
Its the third phase of the
game, coach Dan Prahl said.
Fort has a lot of talent and can
spread you out and score in a hurry, so field position helped out a
lot.
Senior punter Zach Kirby was
crucial in the battle for field position, pinning the Blackhawks
inside their own 20 several times.

Zach Kirby is one of the best in
the league and for sure in the state
in my opinion, Prahl said. So
thats definitely a very successful
tool to have, especially for your
game plan.
Kirby was not the only special teams star for the Vikings, as
junior defensive back and return
man Darvell Peeples scored the
teams first touchdown on an
80-yard kick return to get the
Vikings their first lead of the
game.
Stoughton got on the board first,
with a 26-yard field goal.
Matt Wagner set the tone on
defense early, crushing a Fort
receiver as he caught the ball to
force a fourth down on the Blackhawks first possession.
Stoughton marched the ball
down the field with on the arm of
senior quarterback Jake Kissling,

who looked quick and nimble
while navigating the pocket.
Working out of the shotgun for
the first time in the game, Kissling
hit senior receiver Joshua Hitchcockwho had dropped the previous pass to force third down
on a crossing route. Hitchcock
used his speed to beat his man to
the corner and pick up 25 yards.
Sophomore running back Brady
Schipper took a second down
carry deep into the Fort redzone,
but a Blackhawk defender got his
head on the ball while bringing
Schipper down, jarring it loose.
Fort recovered, ending a promising Viking drive, and shifting
momentum.
The Blackhawks responded by
driving the ball the entire length
of the field, scoring on a goal line,
bootleg pass from quarterback
Matt Romans to Eli Rawinski.

Fort missed the extra point, putting them up 6-3.
After Peeples long touchdown return, Fort answered with
a 65-yard touchdown pass from
Romans to Rawinski.
Stoughton generated plenty of
penetration on the defensive line
the entire time Fort had the ball.
However, they could not always
finish the play in the backfield.
A lot of arm tackling tonight,
Prahl said of his defense.
In an effort to keep the ball
away from the dangerous Stoughton return men, Fort squibbed
their kick, sending it out of bounds
and sacrificing field position.
The Vikings offered a heavy
dose of Schipper, giving him three
carries in a row.

Stoughton looks to cap first undefeated dual meet season with win over Edgewood
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughton girls tennis team

moved to within a Badger South
victory of the first undefeated
regular season conference dual
meet in history with a pair of
shutout wins last week.
Stoughton 7, Fort Atkinson 0

Stoughton hosted Fort Atkinson on Tuesday and didnt drop
a match, in what was a common
theme for the Vikings last week.
Sarah Benoy rattled off a 6-0,
6-0 drubbing atop the singles
lineup, while Holly Brickson
and Sydney Johnson matched
the finish at No. 2 singles.
Anna Nelson got off to a slow

start, but mixed up her game to
roll 6-3, 6-0 at No. 2 singles.
Gigi Barberino added a 6-1, 6-1
win at No. 3 singles.
Sophomore Paige Halverson
faced the most difficult match of
the evening.
Down 5-4, Halverson who had
never picked up a racket and
thought about playing competitively until June, held on to win
7-5, 6-1.
Paige is a very nice player,
but shes very raw, head coach
Ryan Reischel said. Playing at
No. 4 singles we need to remind
her to keep balls in play and not
overhit going for winners too
early in points. She made those
adjustments tonight.
Payton Kahl and Kendra Halverson added a 6-1, 6-4 victory at
No. 1 doubles, while Carrie Aide
and Marissa Robson took their
No. 3 doubles match 6-1, 6-3.
Now 5-0, the Vikings face
their toughest challenge of the
season at 4 p.m. Thursday at
Quann Park against Madison
Edgewood.
Edgewood is the No. 1 ranked
team in Division 2, so to have
the opportunity to beat them and
finish the dual meet part of the
conference season undefeated
it would say a lot about our
program and how far weve
come, said Reischel who has
never defeated the Crusaders.
Were excited about the challenge.

The Badger Conference championship is based half on regular
season dual meet records and
half on the conference tournament.
A win Thursday would put
us in the drivers seat, but either
way, its only part of what determines the conference champion, Reischel said.
Stoughton 6, Monroe 0
The Vikings blanked the
Cheesemakers 6-0 in a Badger
Conference dual last Thursday.
Benoy cruised to a 6-1, 6-0
win atop the singles lineup followed by a 6-2, 6-1 win by
Nelson at No. 2 singles. Halverson added a 6-2, 6-2 victory at

No. 4 singles. The match ended with Barberino and Ashley
Placek being unable to finish
their No. 3 singles match.
With Barberino up 6-3,4-1 a
storm rolled in and forced the
match to be cancelled.
Even so, the Vikings were
even more dominant on the
doubles side, not dropping more
than two games at any flight.
Kahl and Halverson led the
way with a 6-1, 6-1 win at No.
1 doubles.
Brickson and Johnson and the
duo of Aide and Robson both
cruised to 6-1, 6-0 victories at
No. 2 and 3 doubles.

Stoughton takes
fourth at Challenge
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughtons Adam Krumholz (6) hauls in a Jake Kissling pass late in the fourth quarter on a 3rd and short play to seal the Vikings homecoming win over Fort Atkinson.
Football: Krumholz catches three touchdowns in win

With the Blackhawks
playing up, the Vikings
struck with a play action
pass to senior receiver
Adam Krumholz in the
deep middle of field.
Krumholz got his feet
tangled with the Fort cornerback covering him, garnering a defensive pass
interference call. Stoughton went straight back to
the same play, this time
connecting with Krumholz
for a touchdown. The scoring drive took one minute.
After forcing a quick
three and out, Stoughton
got the ball back with one
minute, 33 seconds remaining.
They began chewing up
yards, but a Kissling pass
went through the hands of
Hitchcock and was intercepted by the Blackhawks,
ending another Viking
threat.
Stoughton got the ball
to start the second half,
going back to the two back
offense that the team used
extensively on the night.
A little bit of both,
Prahl said when asked
whether the two back was
the gameplan or an exploitation of opportunity. We
have a nice fullback and
guys get after it up front.
Troy Slaby, the senior
fullback Prahl spoke highly
about, got the first carry of

the half, breaking off a big
run. Stoughton then went
back to the play action,
again hitting Krumholz.
This time, the big, senior
receiver went for a 35-yard
touchdown.
After trading off possessions that ended in turnovers on downs, Fort got
the ball back.
Fort was forced into a
second and long, throwing a screen pass that
was sniffed out by junior
defender Andrew Johnson. A dropped pass forced
fourth down, and Stoughton got the ball back in Fort
territory.
Schipper took back-toback carries, setting up
another play action strike
to Krumholz, this time for
20 yards. Kissling went
back to busy receiver on
the very next play, connecting on an out route
in the endzone for a sixyard touchdown to put the
Vikings up 31-13.
Fort made their way
down the field, scoring on
another Romans to Rawinski bootleg.
Stoughton took over in
good field position, but
after a quick three and out,
Kirby came on and pinned
the Blackhawks at their
own seven.
Romans led Fort down
the field. Threatening to
score, Peeples knocked

down a pass at the goal line
to force the Blackhawks to
kick a field goal to bring it
to a one-score game.
Another Stoughton three
and out gave Fort hope, as
they again threw the ball
on their way down field.
Inside the Viking red
zone, Romans threw a pass
to the left side of the endzone.
Peeples, continuing his
goal line heroics, leapt to
make an interception in
front of the receiver.
With the ball at one,
Stoughton played it cautious, gaining just enough
yards to make punting a
safer affair.
Kirby again had a good
punt, but coming from so
deep in his own territory
Fort found themselves with
good enough field position
to inspire hope.
A near interception at
the goal line again two
Viking defensive backs
went up for the ball and
knocked it away from each
other gave Fort a fourth
down. An incomplete pass
gave Stoughton the ball
back on downs.
Two handoffs to bruising
fullback Slaby made Fort
take their two remaining
timeouts.
Prahl, opting for a risky
deathblow, went back to
his big play: a play action
pass to Krumholz.
This time, the play went
for 48 yards, shattering
all hope of a Blackhawk
comeback.
They were selling out
on the house here and we
ran Slaby a couple times
in a row and we look and
Adams one on one again,
Prahl explained. I believe
in our kids and gave them
an opportunity and Adam
made a great play.
Shipper led the Vikings
ground game with 58
yards on 21 carries, while
Kissling finished the day
13-20 with 283 yards to
go with three touchdown
passes.
His favorite receiver on
the night was Krumholz,
who hauled in seven catches for 158 yards and three
touchdowns
The win was Stoughtons second in a row, and
Prahls first home win,
making the Vikings 2-0 in
the Badger South to start
the season.
Next, they head to Waunakee to face a tough Warriors team at 7 p.m. Friday.
Pat Rice has a great
ball club up there and you
know its going to be a
tough environment, Prahl
said. But were not backing down from any challenges.
Stoughton boys cross

country took home a topfive finish in Monroe
Tuesday as part of the
Badger Cross Country
Challenge.
Experience carried the
Vikings to a combined
time of 89:49.9 in a hotly
contested battle for first.
Junior Garrett Model
had the top time of any
Viking runner, finishing
in 17:03.2, which was
good for sixth overall.
Classmates Owen Roe
(17:43.4) and Tristan Jenny (17:59.2) also managed
to eclipse the 18-minute
mark as the second and
third Vikings, respectively, to finish.
Senior Gabe Ross
(18:30.7) was the fourth
Viking done, while Collin
Maloney (18:33.4) rounded out Stoughtons top
five with youth.
Ed Zeichert, senior, and
Nathan Moll, junior, also
competed.
Baraboo took home the
top team finish with a
combined time of 87:14.0,
followed closely by Monroe (88:58.3) and Monona
Grove: (89:32.6).
Edgewood finished
behind Stoughton with a
91:55.1 to come in fifth.
Stoughton returns to
action 9 a.m. Saturday,
Sept. 26, at the Midwest
Invitational in Janesville.
The meet is at Blackhawk
Golf Course.
River Valley
Invitational
Model finished 16th
overall Saturday to help
lead the Stoughton boys
cross country team to a
sixth-place finish (out
of 21 teams) in the large
school portion of the River Valley Invitational in
Spring Green.
Model nearly broke 17
minutes on a beautiful
fall day, covering the 5k
course in 17 minutes, 6
seconds.
Roe finished 21 seconds
and 13 spots back as the
teams second runner in
17:27. Nipping on Roes
heels was Jenn,y who
crossed the finish line two
second later in 30th place.
Those three guys were
a fairly nice pack, head
coach Patrick Schneider said. I would like to
see Owen and Tristan get
closer to Garrett. They all

train together and are very
competitive ... but in a
good way.
Ross (18:07) and Maloney (18:20) completed the
varsity pack in 47th and
57th place, respectively.
Sophomores Carson
Fleres and Tanner Hanson competed, but did not
score.
My top 5-10 are all
over the place. It is nice
in that it keeps the runners
motivated to keep their
varsity spots, Schneider
said. Gabe is generally a
solid No. 4 runner.
The Vikings fifth runner could be any of the
remaining five or six different athletes this season,
though.
As long as they keep
improving and push each
other I see no problem
with variations on varsity, Schneider said. None
of them are seniors and I
think the varsity experience will help us in the
future.
The meet replaced the
Madison West invite that
was last Thursday night.
We tend not to run as
well on week day evenings after a full day of
work, so we replaced the
meet, Schneider said.
It is also a larger meet
that parents can more easily attend. I actually ran
the meet in high school
and knew it was a nice
course.
The Big Eight Conference pulled a clean sweep
of the top three team
spots.
Madison La Follette
junior Finn Gessner,
who finished fifth at last
years WIAA Division 1
state cross country meet,
covered the 5k course in
a meet-best 15:32. The
Lancers went on to place
all five varsity runners in
the top 18 for 41 points
and first place.
Middleton (89) settled
for third, one point behind
Sun Prairie (88), despite
placing two runners in the
top four.
All of the teams that
beat us were state ranked
i n t h e W C C C A ( W i sconsin Cross Country

(except for a quality team
from Iowa), Schneider
said. We are really just
one step below the best

defeating Jefferson 2-0 (25-16, 25-16),

Stoughton 3, Baraboo 2
The Vikings hosted Baraboo in a Badger crossover match Tuesday and willed
themselves to a 3-2 (25-9, 21-25, 21-25,
25-17, 15-7) win.
Down 2-1 after three sets, head coach
Kelly Sorensen told the girls to control
the pace and force Baraboo to play its
game.
We were talking about controlling
our side of the court. We played to their
level instead of our potential, Sorensen
said. In set five, the girls were very confident and energetic, and that led them to
play very well together.
It also helped that captains Hobson and
Wirag both set career highs Tuesday.
Our two captains, Wirag and Hobson,
have been really stepping up as leaders
on the court and off. They helped lead us
to a victory tonight, Sorensen said.
Hobson finished with a career-high 18
kills and added two blocks, while Wirag
set career highs with 32 assists and 17
digs.
McMillan also had a career high with
16 digs. Posick, Wirag and McMillan all
finished with two aces, as well.
Tonight was a true test of their mental toughness and how hard they have
been working, Sorensen said. We had
a really great practice yesterday, and
everything came together better than ever
before. They were having fun. They were
trusting each other, and that showed at
most points tonight.

Lukas finished Stoughton off with a

goal in the 90th minute.
The Stoughton kids, all the way to

enjoyed biking, especially
long distances around the
Twin Cities and along the
beautiful trails of Minnesota. She also delighted in
taking long walks with her
much-loved cockapoos
Bentley and Maxwell
around Como Park and
around her home in Falcon Heights. Jen craved
hot summer days, the hotter the better. Among her
most enjoyed summertime
activities was to drink
evening cocktails at her
favorite outdoor bars and
restaurants. She also took
many vacations to sunny
spots, especially in Florida
(Vero Beach) and Mexico.
Though she hated those
long Minnesota winters,
she took enormous pleasure in Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas preparation and decorating. She
assembled a magnificent
collection of Christmas
ornaments and relished the
job of setting up multiple
Christmas trees to display
them. These holiday occasions meant so much to Jen
because her life was centered on her family and her
wide circle of friends.
Jen received wonderful care from the physicians, nurses, and staff at
the Regions Hospital in
St. Paul. We would like
to thank them in a special
way. We would also like
to thank the home Hospice
team.

member of the nationally renowned Minne sota Twins Family Study
(MTFS). The MTFS began
in 1989 by enrolling 1,400
pairs of identical and
same-sex fraternal twins
and their families from the
Upper Midwest. Starting in
the year 2000, the MTFS
enrolled a further 500 pairs
of twins and their parents
in an expanded program of
research. All these pairs of
twins have been studied as
they move from childhood
through adolescence and
adulthood, with assessments of their physical,
mental, and social changes. Since the mid-1990s
Jen served as Principal
Psychophysiologist, in
charge of hiring and supervising the study members
engaged in data collection
and analysis.

Budget: Listening session Sept. 30 for feedback on city priorities

The city will seek out
community feedback on its
priorities in a Sept. 30 listening session, then begin
working over the details
throughout October.
A major initiative
Sullivan and Olson said
infrastructure improvements mostly streets
will be a major initiative
in 2016 and for the next
five years and will almost
certainly require borrowing
money.
Members of the citys
capital improvement team
agreed that street improvements have lagged in the
past few years and should
be a priority in 2016 and
beyond.
Streets superintendent
Karl Manthe, a member
of the capital improvement team, told the Hub
the budget for street maintenance and improvement
has remained flat in the past
few years while costs have
risen. Thats meant the city
has fallen behind with its
streets, he said.
We had some larger
projects like the East Main
Street project (in 2011) that
took up a lot of our funding, so that didnt give us
moving forward on the

citys west side, improvements such as traffic signals
at the intersection of Jackson Street and Hwy. 51, and
access points on Hwy. 138,
will take place this year and
wont come from the citys
general fund.

a chance to do some of the

other streets, Manthe said.
He said the city needs a
greater emphasis on reconstructing streets and also
doing preventative maintenance as well as finding
the money to do crack and
chip sealing.
Thats where the best
dollars are spent is trying to
preserve the streets so they
last longer, Manthe said.
West Main Street is one
of the streets most in need
of improvement, he added.
But because its a federal
highway (Hwy. 51), the city
will have to wait until the
state decides to take on the
project.
One positive note is that

The city has worked with

civil engineer Gary Becker
of Vierbicher Associates on
developing property along
the Yahara River, within
the railroad corridor and in
other parts of the city.
Olson said the city is
looking at putting together an offer to continue
working with Vierbicher
and Becker to continue
our conversations about
economic development
and what that means for
Stoughton.
Olson and Sullivan began
meeting with the citys
department heads late last
week, and while they said
its too soon to talk about
specific staffing needs, they
anticipate requests for more
employees through the
citys zero-based budgeting
system, which treats those
requests as offers of services.
Well meet with department heads and go through
their offers and sort of look
at what the requests are versus the money thats available, Olson said. Thats
always the hard part.
For several years now,

city officials have talked
about the need for expert
help with information technology. The city recently conducted an internal
survey about needs and
wants, and help in the IT
area again rose to the top.
Its not clear whether that
will mean creating a new
position for an IT director
or contracting with a consultant.
Weve done a really outstanding job of taking care
of the citys needs, but we
do it by having several different employees responsible for different parts of it,
Olson explained. Were
going to try real hard this
year to put together an offer
to meet some of our IT
needs. Most cities our size
and maybe even smaller Wage adjustment?
Another likely expense

Hwy. 51: City asks to be consulted on design process

maintenance-only option.
The hybrid solution,
called Alternative H, combines the first two, offering
some capacity upgrades that
might still lead to an eventual bypass or larger-scale
expansion in the long term.
The project plan stretches
from Interstate 90 to the
Beltline.
The citys response to the
DOTs latest presentation,
on Aug. 26, included other
preferences, such as added
traffic controls, parking limitations, pedestrian-friendly
amenities and possibly a
park-and-ride. The city also
asked to be consulted on the
design process as it evolves.
Alders were unanimous, even after rejecting
an amendment offered by
Ald. Sid Boersma (D-1)
to include a request that
the state route truck traffic
around the city using county
highways.
The proposed amendment was seconded despite
planning director Rodney
Scheels comment that
the state does not have the

authority to divert traffic
from a federal highway to
county roads, but it was then
defeated in a 9-2 vote.
Alternative H includes
mostly reconstruction of
existing roads at the same
capacities, with several
intersection and interchange
improvements and pedestrian and bicycle-friendly
amenities.
The citys response asks
the DOT to:
Construct a traffic signal or roundabout at Hoel
Avenue/Silverado Drive to
improve unacceptable operations for side street drivers
and to improve pedestrian
and bicycle safety at the
intersection
Construct a roundabout
at Roby Road

largely by negotiations
with labor unions, Sullivan explained. With the
adoption of Act 10 three
years ago, which severely
restricted the power of public-employee unions to bargain collectively, the city
now looks to other communities and to the private
sector to make sure that
were fairly compensating
people, she said.
We dont want to be
under or over, and so thats
the purpose of the study,
Sullivan added.
It helps to set up wage
scales for different positions in the city, she said.

Its nearing completion,
Sullivan said, and its goal
has been to evaluate what
our municipalities paid
compared not only to other
municipalities but also out
in the private sector.
Olson said the results of
the study could affect next
years budget.
One of the things that
we learned early on that we
arent too far out of line,
she said. For the most part,
it was rewarding to find
that were not too far from
where we should be.
