If youre going to ask more than

nicest Saturday of 2017 inside a high

held April 8 at the high school.
Called A Community Conversa-

Talk to your children about marijuana
Parents, today is a perfect oppor-
tunity to have a conversation with
your child concerning marijuana.
April 20 is considered a hol-
iday for those who smoke mar-
ijuana, a day to get together and
get high. For some it is a day to
impaired short-term memory,
reduced judgment, awkward motor
Theres more to health

skills and diminished perception.
Also, youth who choose to smoke
marijuana regularly increase their
chance of developing psycholog-
ical problems such as depression,

skip school and smoke all day. For
those of us concerned with nation-
al trends that fewer youth perceive
marijuana to be harmful and that
marijuana use is increasing, April
20 is a day to educate parents and
youth.
While 71 percent of youth
believe smoking cigarettes and
50 percent believe drinking five
or more alcoholic drinks at a time
are of great risk, only 34 percent
of Dane County youth perceive
smoking marijuana to be a simi-
lar risk to themselves. Marijuana
remains THE most abused illegal
substance among youth, and the
National Institute on Drug Abuse
states, By the time they graduate
high school, about 46 percent of
U.S. teens will have tried marijua-
na at least once in their lifetime.
With ongoing research, we
know the brain doesnt stop grow-
ing until the mid-twenties. One of
the last parts of the brain to fully
mature is the frontal lobe, crucial
to motor function, problem solv-
ing, memory, language, judgment,
impulse control, and social and
sexual behavior.
Because this part of their brains
isnt completely developed, youth
in their teens and early twenties
dont always make safe or wise
choices, and adding marijuana to
this situation puts them at even
greater risk.
Smoking marijuana leads to
anxiety, suicidal thoughts and per-
sonality disturbances.
And parents, even if it happens
that you tried marijuana in your
own youth, be aware that mari-
juana today is not the same as it
was in the 60s and 70s. THC or
tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical
compound in cannabis responsible
for an euphoric high, levels were
4 percent then, while today levels
are 25 percent and more, making it
even more potent and dangerous.
Parents, your opinion does
matter to your child. Young peo-
ple who believe, without actually
knowing, that their parents would
not be upset by their choice to
smoke marijuana are four times
more likely to smoke it. This is a
great reason to sit down and have
an open, honest communication
with your child concerning your
expectations of them when it
comes to using marijuana.
Having this conversation can
give them confidence to decline
that offer to smoke marijuana
should it come. As parents, we
want our children to succeed, be
happy and have all that is best
in life, so share this information
above to help them not give
marijuana any power over their
future!

I
love being a nurse.
Like most nurses, when my
career started 30 years ago, it
was for a simple reason: I want to
help people feel better. I want to
see them smile.
I also love
math and sci-
ence and the
detective work
involved in
nursing.
I started
my career
analyzing lab
test results
Zarth
and diagnostic
reports to determine the cause of
my patients illnesses. It was thrill-
ing when my educated guesses
were right and I could predict what
the doctor would order or do next.
I grew to rely on test results and
the power of medications to heal.
It was frustrating, however, when
my patient didnt feel good but
the tests all came back negative. I
started to realize that there had to
be more to health care.
Just like a missing link in any
research project, our lab work and
diagnostic tests werent giving all
the answers.
About eight years into my
nursing career, I began noticing a
strange pattern with some of my
hospital patients. They were almost
grateful for having a car accident
or needing a surgery.
They confessed that their lives
had been out of control. They had
forgotten their priorities and found
that they had needed the break to
re-evaluate where they were going
and what they were doing.
It made me wonder how much
of physical illness was created by
mental, emotional or psychological
unrest.
After 10 years of working in
a hospital, I switched to home
health. I enjoyed home health
because I had more time to get to
know my patients and hear their
story.
In this position, I had more
time to understand their overall
health and do a more thorough
chart review to find more answers
regarding when their illness start-
ed. I had more time to try to make
connections between environment,
diet, and relationships.
I could teach good health prac-
tices and disease prevention and
make a lasting difference in their
lives, and I received a lot of smiles.
However, I again noticed a
recurring pattern. Several times, a
patients story started out fine, then
at the age of 60, he or she would
develop high blood pressure (or
diabetes) and it was all downhill.
These patients would go to the
doctor, find a new problem and
come home with a new medica-
tion. It seemed like everything just
started falling apart.
By the time they were admitted
into home health, they were taking,
on average, 15 to 30 pills a day.
Their medications were confusing
and they didnt feel good.
Initially, I would send them to
the doctor thinking their lab work
would give us the answers to what
was wrong. But theyd return home
with a message saying everything
was good lab work was within
acceptable limits and no changes
were needed.
It disturbed me when patients
like these didnt feel better. It made
me question whether we are miss-
ing something in medicine. I again
started looking for the missing
links.
Over time, Ive developed a
belief that for optimum health, we
need health of body, mind, and
spirit and there is more to health
care than drugs and surgery.
Since not every alternative thera-
py is a good one, Ive begun inves-
tigating them one at a time, asking
my friends for their stories. And
Ill be sharing those stories and my
conclusions with Hub readers with
the hope that I can inspire people to
look beyond traditional treatments
and ask their doctors for more.
Im always looking for more
stories of complementary or alter-
native medicine I can share, learn
from or investigate, so if you have
one, please let me know.

years as a nurse 10 in a hospi-
tal, 16 in home health and four at

Planning: Incoming school board members pleased with ideas, look forward to next steps
Continued from page 1
Hub he had no idea what
to expect from the session,
but came away pleasantly
surprised.
The fact that they are
involving the community
to create a plan only makes
sense in a public school
system, as it takes a com-
munity to raise a child and
have a quality school, he
said. That was a very wise
investment by the district.
Moyer, who is also a
Stoughton business own-
er, said its important the
district and the communi-
ty in general are on the
TOWN OF RUTLAND
same page when it comes
to schools, and that events
like these are critical to
that effort. He also said
having a third-party firm
(Drew Howick of Patina
Solutions) act as facilitator
helped move things along.
It was great to see com-
munity leaders, other busi-
ness owners, other parents,
faculty, staff, he said. You
had folks of all different
mindsets, different ideas,
different goals, maybe dif-
ferent political standings,
but yet it was very promis-
ing, very positive. Working
together, we found com-
mon ground, despite the
differences in opinion.
Following through
Stoughton Area Cham-
ber of Commerce executive
director Laura Trotter told
the Hub having 100 people
in the room that were really
involved in Stoughton was
very powerful.
She would like to see
more events like this in the
near future as follow-up,
though perhaps in a smaller
format.
I dont know that theyre
going to get 100 people for
an entire Saturday every
two or three years, (but) it
was really valuable, she
said.
The key now, Trotter
said, is making sure there is
accountability for the ideas

Stoughton 4, Portage 2
Stoughton traveled north to play Por-

and won its first game of the year 4-2.
It feels great to get the first win of
the season, Siget said. The first one is
always the hardest.
Skonning went 1-for-4 but put the
ball in play, driving in two runs for the
Vikings. A ball hit to second base plated
Brickson for Stoughtons first run in the
top of the first inning and Skonning later
singled home a run in the fourth innings.
A passed ball scored another run in the
first inning and one of four Portage errors
led to a third run by the Vikings in the
second.
Hammersly got the start on the mound
and went the distance, striking out four.
She allowed two earned runs on three hits
and three walks.
Kailey looked good tonight and cut
her walks down, Siget said. Being just
a freshman, I think the nerves were get-
ting to her earlier this season.
Despite taking an early two-run lead,
the Vikings saw the host Warriors put
up a pair of runs in the home half of
the first inning.
Stoughton was able to drive in one
run in the second and another in the

Election: Three new board members stress importance of communication with community
Continued from page 1
Schumacher had been on the board
the longest, since 2010. The new-
est incumbent, Wiessinger, joined
just last summer.
There also didnt appear to be
specific problems with any incum-
bents, as all three had good repu-
tations as caring, dedicated board
members. And it isnt a clear
change in political leanings, as
challengers and incumbents alike
voiced similar opinions about the
districts challenges and opportuni-
ties.
Still, the new board members
believe they were chosen because
residents want change, and with
one-third of the board now new,
thats exactly what has happened.
Now the three new members look
to assimilate themselves into a
group that has plenty of important,
pressing topics on its to-do list.
School board president Scott
Dirks said he and district superin-
tendent Tim Onsager had already
met with each of the new board
members both before and after the
election to help bring them up to
speed on district issues.
In an email to the Hub on Tues-
day, he said those talks lead me
to believe that all three will work
to familiarize themselves with the
work of the board and with board
procedures.
Dirks, who re-joined the board in
the fall of 2014 after serving from
2011-13, said absorbing that much
information can feel like trying to
take a drink from a fire hose at the
beginning.
But I have every confidence
they will do their best, he added.
He credited all three for cam-
paigning very hard, something
he said should bode well for their
commitment to all the stakeholders
in the Stoughton Area School Dis-
trict.

Farewell for now

After losing in the April
4 school board election,
outgoing incumbent Brett
Schumacher credited the
newly elected members
for putting a tremendous
amount of effort into getting
their message heard.
Fellow exiting incumbent
Bev Fergus agreed, saying
while shes disappointed in
the loss, shes sure the new
board members will do a
fine job.
The other depart-
ing incumbent, Nicole
Wi e s s i n g e r, c a l l e d i t
encouraging that so many
people were interested in
serving.
Schumacher echoed that
comment in an email on
Tuesday, calling the com-
munity lucky so many
people have a genuine
interest in making SASD a
district of choice, and hav-
ing the kids as their prima-
ry focus. He said he was
proud to serve on the board
and of his contributions,
and while he wont run
again, he wouldnt rule out
filling a vacancy down the
road or helping any way I
can.
My time on the board
was absolutely eye-opening
a rewarding experience,
he said. It had moments
that would break your heart,
and also make you swell
with pride. Overall, I feel
that the district has made
some great strides forward,
and acknowledge that there
are many more hurdles to
clear.
Wiessinger wrote in an
email to the Hub she very
much enjoyed and appreci-
ated serving on the school
board for the last seven
months and wished the
new board members all the
best.
I look forward to running
again for the school board in
the future, she said.
In the meantime,
Wiessinger said she plans
to stay involved in the
district, and is particularly
interested in exploring the
development of scholarship
opportunities and a teach-
er development model for
district students interested
in pursuing a career in edu-
cation.
Fergus said shes worked
in the district for more than
two decades as a volunteer,
and she wants to continue to
find ways to help students.
My passion has always
been and will always be the
kids of this community,
she said. Its been a real
honor to serve the kids. I
hope the new members are
as passionate about those
kids as I am and focus
on whats important.
While she doesnt yet
know if shell run again for
the board, she said I dont
think anybody has seen the
last of me yet.
Im going to just wait
and see how everything
plays out, she said. If I
felt they could use me on
the board again and that I
would be an asset I would
definitely (run again).
Scott De Laruelle
Winners defend campaign financing
Campaign finance isnt
normally an issue in small-
town elections, but pub-
lished reports shortly after
the election raised it as a
concern for at least one
board member.
Outgoing incumbent
Brett Schumacher told
the Wisconsin State Jour-
nal earlier this month he
believed the challengers
willingness to spend their
own money on the cam-
paigns played a big role in
their success.
We got outspent, and
that got (the challengers)
the support of the politi-
cal action committees, he
said. I think its sort of
a shame that it has come
down to money.
In an email to the Hub
Tuesday, Schumacher said
those and other comments
were taken out of context,
however, and that at least
one other comment was
tongue-in-cheek and was
in fact intended to recog-
nize the extra effort put in
by the challengers. He said
comments about money
related more to state and
national politics
I was asserting that
elections had become
a polarized business in
which the biggest spend-
er is generally the winner
of a contest, he said. I
went on to say that I hope
it didnt begin to happen at

would be a shame if elec-

that. The notion that this
