Breaking out the good stuff
The annual Coffee Break Festival was held last Saturday with many
brewers from around the area showcasing their finest brews. In
addition to coffee sampling, multiple other craft and cooking ven-
dors were set up for attendees to browse though with the 5k Java
Jog and the one-mile Fun Run held in the morning along with a cof-
fee bean-spitting contest held in the afternoon.

Contractor, city settle pavement dispute
At issue: uneven Main Street, $107k payment

If youve driven on East
Main Street and wondered
why t he ci t y i nst al l ed
speed bumps at intersec-
tions like Academy Street
and Amundson Parkway,
guess again. Theyre not
intentional traffic-slowing
devices.
They r e exampl es of
why the Common Council
last week approved a set-
tlement with the contractor
responsible for rebuilding
a st ret ch of East Mai n
Street from the railroad
tracks downtown to Chalet
Drive in 2011.
The c ont r a c t or , RT
Fox, and the city recently
resolved a dispute over
the street work and the
ci t y s r ef usal t o make
the final $107, 000 pay-
ment of a roughly $1 mil-
lion contract. While Fox
was the general contrac-
tor, the company that laid
the asphalt and apparently
created the problem was
Frank Bros. Inc. of Milton.

Miss Stoughton 1933 remembers state pageant 80 years ago
RoBin HAnSen
Special to the Courier-Hub
For St ought on nat i ve
Rebecca Stokstad Lunde,
being a contestant in the
1933 Miss Wisconsin pag-
eant was j ust a chance
occurrence, without much
si gni fi cance. However,
for local historians and
longtime pageant fans alike,
she is a rare living link to
one of the most unusual yet
fabled Miss Wisconsin pag-
eants of all time.
The 1933 Miss Wiscon-
sin pageant was a success-
ful attempt to lure people
to Cambridge like the Miss
Amer i ca pageant dr ew
vacationers to Atlantic City,
N.J. one week after Labor
Day, beginning in 1921.
However, for Cambridge,
the state pageant was held
only once in the area.
Every year, Community
Park (now Ripley Park) in
rural Cambridge played
host to the annual Harvest
Festival, a local tradi-
tion in the area that dates
back to the late 1800s. In
1933, the 26th annual Har-
vest Festival in Cambridge
was like no other in the
past, however, and became
one of the largest and most
memorable events in the
areas history.
Last Sunday marked the
80th year anniversary of
that Cambridges Harvest
Festival, which also hosted
of the Miss Wisconsin Pag-
eant. It was a unique time
for the village to be under
the spotlight, with the pub-
licity lingering weeks later
throughout the state.

Stoughton Area School District
Board looks at referendum finances, timelines
Scott de lARuelle
With a February or April
referendum appearing to
be an increasing possibil-
ity, Stoughton Area School
District board members
have continued to gather
information.
Monday night they got
some financial advice at
their regular meeting from
Mike Clark of the districts
financial adviser, R. W.
Baird & Co.
Clark, a veteran of help-
ing the board through past
referendums, talked about
how declining enrollment
and state laws instituting
budget caps have created
the need for a referendum
to raise needed funding for
projects.
An expect ed di st r i ct
shortfall of up to $5 million
once the referendum passed
in 2010 expires next year
would be a worst-case
scenario, said SASD com-
munity relations director
Derek Spellman. Without
another referendum, money
could be difficult to come
up with.

East Main Street was repaired only two years ago, but is already
showing signs of premature wear. The city and contractor R.T. Fox
recently reached a settlement about the unsatisfactory work.
Memories and melodies
The city band concert that took place Aug. 1 at the senior
center drew a crowd of more than 50 people, aged both
young and old. Many grandparents took advantage of
spending quality time with their grandchildren as they
brought them along to experience great music and enjoy
ice cream.

City of Stoughton
Kettle West brings GDP next month
commission
narrows zoning code
exemptions
MARk ignAtowSki
City of Stoughton Plan-
ning Commission members
will get a look at the general
development plan for the
Kettle Park West develop-
ment next month.
The GDP is the second
part of a complex, three-
st age pr ocess cal l ed a
planned unit development,
and its generally consid-
ered the most important
the one that provides devel-
opers with assurances that
the city will allow the type
of expansion thats pro-
posed.
Commi ssi oners spent
about an hour last week
talking with developers
about the details of the
project, including landscap-
ing and screening excep-
tions, parking lot design and
building orientations.
Forward Development
Group (FDG) had sought
more than a dozen exemp-
tions to the citys big-box
store ordinance and the
citys zoning code on behalf
of potential users of the site.
Which retailers those might
be remains undisclosed.
The list of exemptions
had been trimmed down
after discussions with the
commissioners at the June
meeting and subsequent
talks with the potential
retailers, said Jim Bricker,
a senior planner with JSD
Professional Services.
Admittedly, its a work
in progress, Bricker said.
Last time, we had kind of
a litany of things that struck
us as being potential con-
flicts. As weve gone back
to various parties some
of those problems and con-
flicts kind of dropped by the
wayside.
Whi l e mos t of t he
exemptions related to the
126,000-square-foot large
retailer site, some were
related to the outlots, which
are smaller parcels. Those
six proposed sites will house
buildings between 6,000
and 20,000 square feet.
Some commission mem-
bers, including Ald. Ron
Christenson, once again said
they hoped the developer
would soon be able to reveal
whom the tenants for the
development would be.
I think its time for us
to start realizing who were
making these alterations
for, Christenson said. I
understand the complexity
and the proprietary situa-
tion that (the developer is)
in, but again, realizing our
position, too, is important.
Even if FDG is negotiat-
ing with a specific retailer
throughout the planning
process, that deal could dry
up at any time. However,
the Target corporate website
states that its most preva-
lent general merchandise
store size is 126,000 square
feet, and a listing presented
at a recent planning confer-
ence by brokerage firm NAI
MLG Commercial showed
Target is planning expan-
sion in Wisconsin, with
potential store sizes rang-
ing from 120,000-180,000
square feet.
Nei t her Wal - Mar t
which sought to build a
200,000-square-foot store in
Stoughton several years ago
nor any other traditional
big box retailer was on that
list of more than 100 fran-
chises.
The list, while not com-
prehensive, was part of a
roundtable discussion at the
conference and dealt with
information from more than
a dozen brokers. Target was
the only company listed as
looking for sites with more
than 100,000 square feet of
store space.
No matter who the ten-
ants might be, commis-
sion member and alder Eric
Hohol said the Planning
Commission was charged
with making sure the build-
ings in the area fit with the
citys guidelines and meet
the expectations of the com-
munity.
Difficult buffer
One of the biggest items
the group discussed was
the developers desire to
be flexible with the type of
screening and barrier that
would need to go along the
west side of the areas com-
mercial center, located at
the corner of Hwy. 138 and
U.S. Hwy. 51.
Bricker said the geogra-
phy of the area and the need
to have a buffer between the
developed area and a nearby
wetland created a challenge
for the citys buffer and
screening requirements. The
citys current code requires
a 6-foot tall berm to serve as
a buffer between the retail
and office or residential
areas.
That tall of a berm behind
the large retailer lot would
need to be up to 40 feet
wide, Bricker said, and
would eat up too much
space of the retail lot for it
to be a viable space.
The developers proposed
building a berm where its
feasible, and then using a
mixture of fencing and veg-
etation to screen the north-
west corner of the lot.
Pl anni ng Commi ssi on
members were open to the
alternative screening meth-
ods, but they asked the com-
pany to give specific details
and diagrams when it pres-
ents its general development
plan next month.
Commi s s i oner Scot t
Truehl said he was con-
cerned that the trees and
shrubs used to screen the
area would take a long time
to be effective.
Were talking about an
area thats going to be the
principal loading dock,
Truehl said. The render-
ing is very attractive, but
unfortunately, I know that I
wont see this for 20 years.
Im going to be looking for
height at day one.
Parking
Commissioners also were
asked if theyd be open to
bending the requirements on
parking spaces and pedes-
trian access.
In order to create the large
parking lot desired by major
retailers, the developer has
asked to adjust the citys
landscaping requirements.
The biggest limiting fac-
tor is a requirement to have
medians or islands every
10 stalls, and another is the
minimum size of islands at
the end of parking rows.
Bricker said the citys
desi gn st andard makes
snow removal difficult and
doesnt allow for enough
parking space on the 11.45-
acre lot.
Zoning ordinances call for
4 parking spaces per 1,000
feet of retail floor area. The
retailer would like 4.5 spots
per 1,000 but would settle
for 4.3, Bricker said.
Commi ssi oner s wer e
open to some changes but
were adamant about main-
taining pedestrian access for
safety reasons. Truehl said
the developers need to keep
clear linkages between the
main lot and the outlots so
that pedestrians and shop-
ping carts have safe access
between the businesses.
Other issues
Bricker also presented
some other questions from
potential retailers about the
citys ordinances, though
he acknowledged some of
these issues will be brought
up during the third phase
of the process, known as
the specific implementation
phase, or SIP.
Items such as signage size
and location and placement
and size of landscaping
points are supposed to be
discussed after the general
development plan is pre-
sented for the area.
As par t of t he GDP
approval, commissioners
will see how the different
buildings are oriented on the
lots. Some of the previous
issues such as building
screening will be linked to
where trucks might unload.
Those specifics hadnt been
finalized as of the last meet-
ing, Bricker said.
Denni s St ei nkraus of
FDG said the group intend-
ed to take the comments
from last weeks discussion
and submit a formal GDP
for review at the next meet-
ing.
Wed like to compro-
mise and get everybody on
board, Steinkraus said. If
we cant, well have to try
to modify some things.

The Fourth Street Dam was
apparently in worse shape than
most people thought, as the
Stoughton City Council voted
to spend $44,000, rather than
$38,000, on repairs. The reason
for the cost difference was mas-
sive deterioration under one of
the walkways that was discov-
ered by contractors. Repairs were
ordered by the Department of
Natural Resources.

51. Founding member Joe Camp-
bell said the group was formed in
response to another area group
opposed to the Wal-Mart, calling
themselves Uff-DA Wal-Mart.
Campbell said the group would
be visible, accessible and very
busy in the coming months, as
city leaders debated the merits of
the big-box retailer locating in
Stoughton.
Mary Weber, 45, of Polo, Ill.,
and her 5-year-old son, Tyler,
were killed when their cottage
on the shores of Lake Kegonsa
caught fire. The fast-burning fire
was too intense for neighbors to
help, witnesses said.
The Cornerstone develop-
ment located a half-block from
Main Street was taking shape,
and was ready for occupants
by November. The area was
designed to blend in with the old-
er, downtown business district,
and is the brainchild of Stough-
ton residents Keith Comstock,
Mark Halverson, Brad Schroeder
and Chad Strutzel.
All of the partners have ties to
the community and were raised
in Stoughton, said Halverson.
We feel a strong commitment
to seeing this project through and
hopefully continuing to improve
the downtown district.
5 years ago
The Badger State Archaeo-
logical Society hosted an annual
artifact show at the Mandt Com-
munity Center, with more than
30 exhibitors and collectors from
Wisconsin and Illinois in atten-
dance. More than 10,000 years of
Native American history were on
display.
Stoughton Chamber of Com-
merce Administrator Ed Bieno
retired after a decade of serving
the area.
I may be retiring, but just like
many other retirees, Ill probably
be just as busy as ever, said the
71-year-old.
Bieno was recently elected
regional governor of the Luther-
an Laymans League, a position
that will require travel. He had
worked at the chamber since
1999.

My kids wont be riding in the cab thats for sure. Hes had six con-
victions!? How many more chances should he get!?
Dawn Waggoner Lamberty
This is a tough one. Six convictions is excessive. I am not sure if
he should ever be allowed to drive again. Five years sober? I hope so.
I guess I cant comment either way. I do wish him well and hope he
stays clean.
On second thought. The article mentions he is valuable in other
areas. For safety reasons, keep him off the road and let him help in
other areas. Fixing things. I cant get passed the six convictions. Every-
one makes mistakes, but there has to be a limit. Right?
Katrina Bard
Appalling decision. When will we begin to take drunk driving seri-
ously?

Max Fergus and Luke Logan hope to break the world record for the
longest table tennis rally Monday at an event that will double as a
fundraiser for the Special Olympics.
worked with in the past.
Both are multi-sport ath-
letes who have competed
in ping pong tournaments
in the past. Now they are
putting their talents to use
and trying to break the
current world record of 8
hours, 15 minutes, 1 sec-
ond.
Logan has reason t o
believe theyll make the
mark after the practicing
theyve done.
Right now, we unoffi-
cially broke it, he said.
The boys hope to set
the record while raising
awareness about Special
Olympics and the Spread
the Word to end the Word
campaign to remind youth
to stop saying the word
retard in a derogatory
manner.
I have been involved
with Special Olympics my
whole life, Fergus said.
Nothing means more to
me than to be able to help
out so many people and
do what I love. This isnt
about the record, but about
making a difference in
Wisconsin and in my com-
munity.
The event
Their attempt will begin
at 8 a.m. on Monday, Aug.
26 and go until approxi-
mately 4:30 p.m., after the
record is broken. Its held
at the Sports Enhancement
Academy in Stoughton,
located at 2300 U.S. Hwy.
151-138.
Donations will go to
Special Olympics Wiscon-
sin. To help raise addition-
al funds, Spread the Word

will be available for pur-
chase. Refreshments will
be available.
The public is invited to

Give, But Give Wisely
It is good to give to charity, but we should
do our homework before giving our money
away. Giving to a poorly-run charity is tanta-
mount to lining the pockets of unscrupulous
hucksters. Even well-meaning charities
sometimes run afoul of the basic guidelines
for a well-run charity. Charity Watch (char-
itywatch.org) rates national charities, and in
their view, a well-run charity should have at
least 60% of their operating expenses going
to charitable programs, and preferably at
least 75%. Charity Navigator, another orga-
nization which rates charities, recommends
that you be proactive in your giving (i.e.,
avoid knee-jerk reactions), avoid charities
which are not transparent, and be careful of
charities whose names may sound like repu-
table charities but are not. Charity Navigator
even has a Top Ten list of best practices for
savvy donors. By all means, give to charities,
but do it in such a way that your money has
the most bang for your buck.
Christopher Simon for Metro News Service
But since you excel in everything, in faith,
in speech, in knowledge, in complete ear-
nestness and in the lovewe have kindled in
you,see that you also excel inthis grace of
giving.

Martial arts expert opens dream studio
Bill livick
Regardless of young or
old, and whether you want
to learn to defend yourself
or just get in really good
shape, Murphys Martial
Arts in Stoughton has a
program for you.
Martial arts expert Pat
Murphy and two business
partners Renee Timm and
Tim Scot opened the new
studio at 1740 E. Main St.
on Aug. 10. Timm and Scot
run the business side of the
operation while Murphy
does the instruction.
His approach to mar-
tial arts involves teaching
respect, self confidence,
courtesy, focus and disci-
pline, along with fitness
and self defense. The result
is greater self esteem for
virtually everyone who
Murphy teaches, he said.
And he couldnt be more
thrilled to open his own
studio in Stoughton.
Im really honored to
be here and to teach mar-
tial arts, said Murphy, a
seventh-degree black belt.
Its pretty much what Ive
been born to do.
The new 4,000-square-
foot studio is a martial arts
instructors dream, Murphy
said. Like the classes and
programs he designed, all
the equipment in the place
is new.
It has all brand-new
mi rrors, al l brand-new
mat s, brand-new wave
masters (kind of like a
punching bag), and its
completely remodeled, he
said.
Ive been doing this
for a long time and Ive
traveled all over the coun-
try to see the best martial
arts schools and this is the
nicest one that Ive ever
seen.
Murphy is not kidding
that hes been studying
and teaching martial arts
for a long time. Now in his
late 50s, he took his first
martial arts class 42 years
ago, in 1971, and has been
teaching since 82.
He said he is a master
of multiple disciplines.
He instructs students in a
variety of classes: kids
black belt club, kids kara-
te, adult karate and self
defense, fitness kickbox-
ing, little stars (a program
for 3- t o 6-year-ol ds),
mixed martial arts and sho-
tokan karate a traditional
Japanese karate style that
emphasizes locks, strikes
and forms.
Forms are used to teach
and develop good focus,
concent rat i on and bal -
ance, Murphy explained.
Our overall program is
designed for people of all
ages. We have one lady
who is a kickboxer and she
is 73 years old. She loves
the exercise and the struc-
tured environment.
Murphy said he enjoys
working with young chil-
dren, as well. He teaches
them not only self respect
but also to respect their
parents and other adults.
Our kids karate pro-
gram is for ages 6 11, he
said. Children are learn-
ing more of a structured
martial arts system, also
developing confidence and
learning how to protect
themselves from bullies
and stranger danger. They
also learn how to focus and
listen.
Mur phy pr e vi ous l y
owned a martial arts studio
in Sun Prairie and Madi-
son. An article last year in
the Hub detailed Murphys
background and the story
behind his studio burning
to the ground.
After a number of less-
t han-ful fi l l i ng j obs, he
got back into martial arts
instruction and came to
Stoughton about six years
ago to work at USA Mar-
tial Arts Center, which
went out of business last
year.
He was then approached
by Scot and Timm about
starting their own studio.
He is looking forward to
many productive years on
East Main Street.
Here, everyone learns
that if they really apply
themselves that they can be
great at this, he said. It
helps build a positive self-
image.

City of Stoughton
Planning commission gives nod to brew pub, business changes
Mark ignatowski
Unifed Newspaper Groups
Plans to create a brew
pub in downtown Stough-
ton will be reviewed by
the Common Council next
week after the citys Plan-
ni ng Commi ssi on gave
their blessing to the Viking
Brew Pub for a conditional
use permit last week.
The permit is one step
forward in allowing the
business owned by Vik
Malling to open in Stough-
ton. Malling plans to oper-
ate the brew pub at 154 W.
Main Street, he indicated in
documents presented to the
Planning Commission.
Nobody spoke for or
against the plans for the
business at a public hearing
last week. The commission
did have some concerns
about noise, particularly
from live music that might
interfere with the Cinema
Caf next door. Malling
said he hasnt done any
formal sound engineering
studies, but said he intends
to be a good neighbor and
wouldnt host loud enter-
tainment if it interfered
wi t h t he nei ghbors. In
addition, Malling said he
intends to close around 11
p.m. most nights.
The brew pubs CUP will
be reviewed by the council
at the next meeting.
Other changes
The Planning Commis-
sion held two other pub-
lic hearings last week for
changes to two local busi-
nesses located in the busi-
ness park:
Zal k Joseph Fabri -
cators is looking to add
15, 000 squar e f eet of
building space to improve
plant operations. The com-
pany will also store their
steel products outdoors.
They intended to improve
landscaping to screen the
outdoor storage area.
North American Fur
Auction is looking to add a
loading and unloading area
and undergo some internal
modifications to their busi-
ness. The company plans to
move their break areas to a
central location and install a
dust collection system.
Neither project had any-
body speak for or against
the projects, other than
representatives from the
company on hand to answer
questions. Both permits will
be reviewed by the council
next week.

Concession stand group
nears fundraising goal
The American Legion
Post 59 hosted a success-
ful spaghetti dinner for
the Norse Park Conces-
sion Stand Aug. 10 and has
another fundraiser coming
up.
The spaghet t i di nner
raised $1,000 for the proj-
ect, which brings the group
to within $3,000 of their
goal to raise $25,000 for
the stand.
The ci t y s Pl anni ng
Commi ssi on, Parks and
Recreation Committee and
Common Counci l have
approved plans for a two-
story building.
The group of five cham-
pioning this project has
played baseball together
for many years and has
been fundrai si ng si nce
May. They are Randy Per-
not, Ron Vosberg, Erik
Veum, Dale Seffens and
Cuzzy Nelson.
Its s a project with spe-
cial significance for Per-
not, a 1981 graduate of
Stoughton High School,
who has been a fixture at
the existing stand and ball-
park for several years and
is now battling cancer.
The fundraising raffle
will be held at the Ameri-
can Legion Post 59, 803 N.
Page St. on Saturday, Aug.
31, starting at 2 p.m. Lunch
and a silent auction will be
available starting at noon.
They are selling raffle
tickets at $5 each or 5 for
$20. Grand prizes include
$1,000 cash and four tick-
et s t o t he Phi l adel phi a
Eagl es vs. Gr een Bay
Packers game Nov. 10 at
Lambeau Field.
The communi t y has
shown great support for the
project, said Mary Libby,
one of the organizers.
The new conces s i on
stand will have restrooms
on the first floor and press
box on the second. The
current concession stand
is very small and does not
have plumbing, accord-
ing to a news release from
Libby.
The five friends are ral-
lying donations and sup-
port for the project, hoping
to break ground after the
end of this season.
Many baseball programs
i n St ought on wi l l ben-
efit from this project. The
teams that currently play at
Norse Park are: Stoughton

Merchants outlast
Generals to earn a spot in
the Home Talent Final Four
JosH sMiTH
Daily Jefferson County Union
For the first time since 2000
when they fell in the champion-
ship game, the Stoughton Mer-
chants are in the Home Talent
Leagues Final Four.
Stoughton bounced back after
losing a six-run lead, tying the
game in the eighth and defeating
the host Fort Atkinson Generals,
13-11, in 12 innings Sunday at
Jones Park.
Weve been kind of doing
that all year long. Weve been in
a hole. We didnt know we were
going to get any place a month
ago. We were in limbo, manager
Dale Seffens said. We kept at
it. Thats the way the game went
today. We kept at it and perse-
vered.
The victory gives the Merchants
the Southeast Section champion-
ship. Stoughton, who last won
the HTL Grand Championship in
1986, will face Verona Sunday
at 1 p.m. in the first round of the
round-robin event.
With the game tied, 10-10, the
Merchants got some momentum
going in the 12th inning.
Stoughton drew three walks
to load the bases and chase Fort
pitcher Dan Dean from the mound.
Frank Raff took the mound, but
Jake Wenzel had an answer for
him at the plate.
Wenzel blasted a two-run dou-
ble to give the Merchants their
first lead since the sixth inning.
It was a new pitcher. Id never
seen him before ... I wasnt exact-
ly sure what he had off-speed.
He made me look kind of foolish
on a curve ball the pitch before
that, Wenzel said. But he put
a fastball in there, and I was able
to wait back long enough to shoot
it down the line. Luckily it got by
him.

Golfers hit links with state goals
AnTHony iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Senior and No. 1 Stough-
ton High School golfer
Becky Klongland is in her
final year before college,
and she will attempt to make
the WIAA Division 1 state
tournament for the third
time.
After finishing tied for
second in 2011, Klongland
was fourth last season at
Cherokee Country Club.
But as the state tourna-
ment goes back to Univer-
sity Ridge Golf Course this
season, Klongland will also
be trying to help lead the
entire team to state.
Ashli Stolen, Rena Sletten
who played in a few tour-
naments last season Kailey
Taebel and Taylor Wise all
return to the varsity squad
that was only three strokes
away from making state as
a team at the Beaver Dam
sectional.
Head coach Dave Taebel
said the girls needed to con-
tinue to practice and get bet-
ter following the just missed
opportunity in 2012, and
several played in summer
tournaments to get ready for
this season and drop off a
few strokes to make another
push through conference and
to state.
Conference preview
As is the case every sea-
son in the Badger South,
Madison Edgewood is the
team to beat.
Stoughton finished third
last season behind Edge-
wood and Milton. It had
a 3-2 record in duals and
scored a 370 in the confer-
ence meet.
Edgewood returns three
of its five golfers that went
on to win the WIAA Divi-
sion 2 state tournament last
season, while Milton returns
three of five, as well. Milton
does lose its top golfers from
last season Laura Stair and
sister Stephanie. Edgewood
graduated Lexi Greytek who
was seventh overall at state.
Stoughton travels to Mad-
ison Edgewood and Yahara
Hills Golf Course Tuesday,
Aug. 27, to start the dual
season.
The Vikings then play
Monona Grove at 4 p.m. Fri-
day, Sept. 6 at Monona Golf
Course and host Oregon at
3:30 p.m.
St ought on t r avel s t o
Koshkonong Mounds Coun-

JereMy Jones
Sports editor
With half of last seasons
team returning as seniors, the
Stoughton girls tennis team is
hoping to improve upon last
season 3-8 record.
Perhaps no one on the
team is making a bigger jump
this year than senior Amara
McCune, who is leaping
from No. 3 to No. 1 singles.
McCune takes over for the
graduated Magen Krage.
Despite the move, Vikings
head coach Ryan Reischel
said he believes McCune
can be competitive in every
match amidst a challenging
Badger South Conference.
Also moving over from
the doubles side this season
is No. 2 singles player senior
Alyssa Ramos. Playing at
No. 2 doubles a year ago,
Ramos has some very solid
strokes, but Reischel said
hed like to see her play more
aggressively.
The Vikings, who have
three freshmen that worked
their way into the lineup,
will replace their top doubles
team with Payton Kahl and
Sara Benoy. The duo took
second place at last week-
ends Dane County Invite.
They show a ton of prom-
ise, Reischel said.
Emma Erickson and Court-
ney Lawlor fell one win short
of a WIAA Division 1 state
tournament berth last year.
Erickson is now a freshman
playing at Carroll University.
Kendra Halverson is the
other freshman and she is
playing 4 singles.
Kendra is steady, consis-
tent, and continues to develop
her strokes, Reischel said.

Seniors Molly Staats and
Marissa Despins lost their
opening match No. 3 doubles
match at the Badger South
Conference meet last year.
They move up to No. 2 dou-
bles this year.
Reischel describes senior
Natalie Clerkin, who played
at No. 4 singles a year ago,
as a battler and hard work-
er, who should be in every
match. She could see time
at both No. 3 singles and 3
doubles.
Junior Kaitlyn Hedman has
improved a lot and should
contribute on the doubles
side.
Madison Edgewood, Mil-
ton and Oregon look like the
teams to beat (in that order),
Reischel said.
The rest of the pack
will be very tight, he said.
Whoever is playing well on
those days will get the win.
Stoughton hosts its WIAA
Division 1 subsectional on
Monday, Oct. 7 this year.
Any Vikings that advance
travel to Lake Geneva Bad-
ger for sectionals on Wednes-
day, Oct. 9.
We have a solid group of
girls coming back, Reischel
said. We will not win our
matches based on our talent
alone.
We will have to outwork
our opponents.
Vikings raise expectations this season after move to Division 2
AnTHony iozzo
Assistant sports editor
It was a year to forget for the
Stoughton soccer program in 2012
after a tough season ended in a 1-18-
1 record.
But that changes this season, head
coach Dave Wermuth said.
With 13 returners, the Stoughton
soccer team is primed to compete
in the Badger South and in its new
Division 2 regional following a
WIAA change from Division 1.
But like any season, the success
lies in how well the Vikings do in
the Badger South. Five teams from
the conference are in Stoughtons
sectional, including state qualifier
and four-time defending conference
champion Oregon.
We didnt get to where we
wanted to last year, and this year,
we would like to push every team
in conference, David Wermuth
said. Our conference season is very
important in the seeding for region-
als.
Senior defender Endre Krumholz
and junior midfielder Devin Wer-
muth both return to the team this
season. Devin Wermuth was a sec-
ond-team All-Badger South selec-
tion, while Krumholz was an honor-
able mention.
Ike Landers and Ethan Genter
also return and expect to be the top
forwards.
Dakota Andre, Andrew Beszhak,
Devin Keating, Nathan Kreider,
Noah Doll, Ben Veum, Dylan Wen-
ker, Hank Guzman, River Hoaglin
and Christian Doll also return to the
team to help in the midfield and on
defense.
If we play the game as individu-
als, we are sunk, Dave Wermuth
said. The idea that someone else is
going to mark a man because they
are tired is not going to happen. ...
We have enough talent this year
that when guys are tired, they can be
switched out.
Move from D1 to D2
In January, the WIAA Board of
Control voted to add another divi-
sion to boys soccer. The change cre-
ated a new cutoff for Division 1 and
Division 2 schools based on enrol-
ment.
Stoughton was right on that line
but fell below the Division 1 cutoff,
which happened to several Badger
South teams.
The move puts Stoughton in a
bracket with Baraboo, Burlington,
DeForest, Elkhorn Area, Fort Atkin-
son, Milton, Monona Grove, Ore-
gon, Portage/Poynette, Reedsburg,
Sauk Prairie, Waterford, Wauna-
kee, Westosha Central and Wilmot
Union
Conference preview
Oregon is once again the favor-
ites in the Badger South, winning 24
straight games and four titles since
2009.
The Panthers lose All-State
players Scott Odorico and Colin
McReavy to graduation, but there
are still half the starters from last
years state team and some younger
players with tournament experience
from the youth program.
Madison Edgewood, which fin-
ished a game behind Oregon last
season, loses five of six all-confer-
ence selections this season, while
Milton, which took second the
previous two seasons, returns two
first-team all-conference players
Midfielder C.J. Curtis and defender
Brett Gerharz.
Fort Atkinson returns three of
seven all-conference selections,
including first teamers Logan
Dahnert (midfielder) and Armando
Camacho-Bouton (goalie).
You have to do well in confer-
ence to get a good seed in regionals,
but you have to go through everyone
in regionals anyway, Dave Wer-
muth said. Stoughton has one con-
ference championship, and I would
like these guys to go for another.
The Vikings open the conference
season at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10,
at Monroe.
They host Madison Edgewood at
7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, and Ore-
gon at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17.
Stoughton travels to Fort Atkin-
son at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, and
it hosts Monona Grove at 7 p.m. Fri-
day, Sept. 27.
The conference season and regu-
lar season concludes at 7 p.m. Oct.
8 at Milton.
Sun Prairie 3, Stoughton 2
The Vikings opened the season
Tuesday against Sun Prairie and lost
3-2.
Landers scored a goal with an
assist to Andre in the 79th minute,
but it was too late.
Genter scored from Beszhak in
the fourth minute before Sun Prairie
scored three straight times.
Guzman finished with seven
saves for Stoughton.

It worked out great for
us in the last inning. We
got the meat of our order
up, Seffens added. You
couldnt ask for a better
guy to be at the plate at that
point.
T.J. DiPrizio followed
with an RBI ground out to
tack on an insurance run,
boosting Stoughtons score
to 13-10.
I t w a s s u c h a
relief, Wenzel said. We
kind of got stuck in a hole
there for a couple innings.
Then all of sudden, you get
the lead and youre in the
12th. You just hope you
survive, and it happened to
work out for us.
Stoughton held on in the
bottom of the inning. Pitch-
er Rory Menzer surren-
dered a run, but got a game-
ending ground ball to pick
up the win on the mound.
We took it an out at a
time. After I got that first
one, I knew I didnt have to
worry about the runner any
more, Menzer said of the
final inning.
Stoughton grabbed the
momentum early in the
game, using an RBI double
by DiPrizio and a two-run
single by Steve Pennekamp
to take a 3-0 lead in the
first.
Dave Hanson bl ast ed
a two run double in the
fourth. After Stoughton
added a pair of runs in the
fifth, Sean Gerber boosted
the Merchants lead to 9-3
with two-run homer to right
field in the sixth.
Bu t Fo r t At k i n s o n
stormed back in the bottom
of the sixth, scoring seven
unearned runs after a two-
out error. Michael Knutson
tied the game with a two-
run single and Dean gave
Fort its first lead of the
game with an RBI double.
They had some seeing
eye balls, a couple balls
we should have made plays
on, Seffens said. But this
bunch dont qui t . They
dont quit.
For t At ki ns on s bi g
inning ended Ben Riffles
day on the mound.
We probably went with
(Riffle) a little too long
that inning. But I tell you
what, that guy has gotten us
out of many jams this year.
If it wasnt for Riffle, we
wouldnt be where were at
right now, Seffens said of
his starting pitcher.
Riffle was charged with
just two earned runs, giving
up 10 hits and two walks
while striking out three in 5
2/3 innings of work.
Menzer pitched the final
6 1/3 frames, holding Fort
Atkinson to three runs on
nine hits.
It was a little shaky at
first. It was kind of like
a roller coaster it was
pretty down at first, giv-
ing up those two runs and
they took the lead, Menzer
said. After I settled in the
second and third innings I
was out there pitching, we
started to figure it out.
Trailing 10-9, Wenzel
tied the game with an RBI
single in the eighth inning
that allowed Hanson to
score from third.
We got a bunch of com-
petitors on our team, Wen-
zel said. We knew in the
eighth inning, we got a guy
on and we could battle. We
ended up scoring, and tying
it up and hanging on for the
long haul.
Wenzel f i ni shed t he
game 4-for-7 with two runs
scored. Hanson, Gerber and
Pennekamp chipped in two
hits apiece for Stoughton.
Hanson, Gerber, DiPrizio
and Pennekamp all finished
with two RBIs each.
After 12 grueling innings,
101 official at-bats and 24
total runs, Stoughton can
now focus on the Final
Four.
The Merchants who
won it all in 1986 and 1945
will face the Western
Section champion Verona
Cavaliers on the road in
the first round. Stoughton
will travel to Eastern Sec-
t i on champi on Monona
in Round 2 and host the
Northern Section champ
Middleton at Norse Park in
the third round.
It means a lot to us per-
sonally, and then all the
other guys that came before
us, Menzer said of reach-
ing the Final Four. (The)
group that made it to the
Final Four in 1986, theyre
all pulling for us. Its excit-
ing.
Its been a long time
since Stoughtons been in
a Final Four, said Sef-
fens, whose team came up
one run shy of Albion in
the 2011 Southeast Sec-
tion championship. Weve
been battling uphill all sum-
mer. To get here, its pretty
cool.
Night League
Top-seeded Stoughton
was unable to reach the
Night League quarterfinals
earlier in the week, fall-
ing 10-7 to Central League
rival Middleton.
Erick Sperloen got the
start on the mound, work-
ing 6 1/3 innings. Sperloen
allowed five runs on 12 hits
and two walks in the loss.
Trailing 5-4, Stoughton
watched Middleton put up
five runs off Menzer in the
top of the seventh, includ-
ing a 2-run home run off the
bat of Brandon Scheidler.
Doubles by Steve Pen-
nekamp, Simon Maurice
and Wenzel in the home
half of the seventh helped
Stoughton cut the lead to
three, but that was the close
as the Merchants could
come.
Stoughton finished 11-2
in Night League action.

run in the sixth inning.
HTL: Merchants look for first title since 2000
is even harder, especially
with Madison Memorial
and Middleton both being
in Stoughtons sectional.
Besides those two teams,
the Vikings also have to
contend with Badger South
powers Oregon and Mono-
na Grove and the Badger
Norths Waunakee along
with Watertown and Bea-
ver Dam.
With only two spots
available, it becomes clear
that Stoughton will need to
post some low numbers to
make it past that gauntlet.
Some good news is that
the two courses Stoughton
has to play in the postsea-
son is Watertown Coun-
try Club (regionals) and
Odana Hills Golf Course
(sect i onal s) whi ch are
both local courses that the
Vikings know well.
Stoughton scramble
The Vi ki ngs opened
the season Monday in the
Stoughton Scramble at
Coachmans Golf course.
Stoughton had three dif-
ferent teams, including the
varsity squad members on
the purple team.
Junior varsity and varsity
reserve members played on
the white and gray teams.
The purple team took
third with a combined 64.
The team consisted of
Klongland, Stolen, Wise,
Sletten and Kailey Taebel.
McFarland won with a
62, and Portage Black fin-
ished second with a 64 due
to a better hole tiebreaker.

brought in to answer some
questions about timelines,
along with when the dis-
trict would need to have
certain tasks completed in
preparation for a possible
February or April referen-
dum.
Mike has worked with
me and the board in the
past regarding referenda
information and various
options, she said.
Clark talked about the
r evenue l i mi t s publ i c
school districts in the state
have worked under since
1993, and the difficulties
involved for districts trying
to raise funds.
Districts were kind of
locked in at the expendi-
ture level they were at,
he said. They took the
amount they were spend-
ing divide by the num-
bers of students, essen-
tially, and thats how much
you received per student.
And then youd receive
an increase on top of that
every years.
Wh i l e t h e s e s t a t e
increases to school districts
used to be very predict-
able in the past, Clark
said in recent years, that
has changed, a trend he
believes will continue.
Ther e s mor e of a
move away from categori-
cal ai d and away from
an increased amount per
number within the revenue
limit, he said. It distrib-
utes money a little differ-
ently. If youre a declining
enrollment district, you
may not benefit fully from
an increase in the revenue
limit formula.
If school districts want
to legally exceed revenue
limits, they are allowed to
go to a public referendum,
Clark said, though after
2008, the amount of refer-
enda really dropped off.
Thats when the finan-
cial crisis hit, and districts
were more hesitant to go
to voters, he said. Even
in 2011, 12, 13, the num-
bers were trailing off. The
economy is still in a recov-
ery mode, but also Act 10
caused some districts to
step away from these refer-
endums.
With the state budget
now in place for the next
two years, some school
districts are starting to look
again at referenda, though.
We are seei ng more
and more districts having
the conversations, looking
at revenue caps and being
able to project out a few
years, Clark said. Thats
one of the difficulties when
youre looking at a rev-
enue cap. You dont want
to wear the voters out. You
want to go for a period of
time that allows you to do
some pl anni ng but yet ,
the further out you go, the
harder it is to accurately
project what your budget
situation will be.
Looking ahead
On the decision between
holding a referendum in
February or April, Clark
said the success rate is
about the same, and the
district needs to first look
within to set a timetable.
I would suggest the dis-
trict choose a time when
youre ready, when youve
established your need, the
logic behind what youre
asking for, he said. Obvi-
ously in your situation
theres obviously a need.
So youre probably looking
at the spring if you want to
go to a regular election.
Clark said to get the ref-
erendum on the ballot for
February, the school board
would have to pass legis-
lation in early December.
To get it on the ballot for
Apri l , t he board woul d
have until Jan. 18 to pass a
referendum resolution.
Under state law, the dis-
trict must approve a reso-
lution authorizing the ref-
erendum at least 73 days
before the Election Day.
I would suggest dis-
tricts add a couple more
days in case you have bad
weather and you have to
postpone a meeting, Clark
said. Dont get yourself
caught short.
A next thing on the to-do
list of school board mem-
bers is to figure out how
they want the referendum
to read on the ballot.
Take some t i me
because there are different
ways to structure the ques-
tion, he said. You can
get very specific in terms
of expenditures. What dis-
tricts typically do is try to
be a little bit more broad,
to give some flexibility.
So t hat s somet hi ng
you need to work into your
timeline.
Park on the shores of Lake
Ripley on Aug. 17-18; a
cel ebrat ed gat heri ng of
beauties from around Wis-
consin. Entrants from small
towns and larger cities par-
ticipated in the outdoor
competition - the first and
last time Miss Wisconsin
would be chosen outdoors,
and on the shores of a lake.
First-time contestant
Among the 50 contestants
seeking the coveted state
crown was Lunde, who two
weeks earlier had won the
Miss Stoughton competi-
tion at Stoughtons Harvest
Fest against 11 other con-
testants on a whim. Being
the local pageant winner,
the local newspaper placed
her picture on the front
page.
I was very surprised that
they used my confirmation
photo, which was taken at
Midgards photo studio in
Stoughton, she said.
While Stoughton held
its pageant preliminary, in
nearby Cambridge, the first
runner-up to Anna Onstad
Lee (with 53,500 votes) was
Isabel Dorothea Wikum,
born Dec. 12, 1913 to farm-
ers Andrew and Julia (John-
son) Wikum of the Town of
Rutland. Wikum (now Isa-
bel Wikum Countryman),
a 1931 Stoughton High
School graduate, now lives
in Belvidere, Ill. At 99, she
is one of the last surviving
Miss Cambridge contes-
tants.
It was really a popularity
contest, totally a communi-
ty thing in Cambridge, she
said. I worked as a clerk at
my brothers grocery store
(Wikums Royal Blue gro-
cery on Main Street).
Lunde wa s bor n i n
St ought on on Dec. 23,
1916, to John L. and Mar-
garet Stokstad. During high
school she took part in the
school operetta, girls glee
club, and served as presi-
dent of the Athletic Club
during her senior year along
with being involved with
student council. Her father
ran a local restaurant and
her mother was an excel-
lent cook for the business
and their family.
During an interview last
year, she recalled being
in the 1933 state pageant
with the eventual winner,
Marie Marguerite Huebner,
a petite brunette from Por-
tage. However, what she
remembered most was a
comment from Huebners
father, Oswald, a Portage
dry cleaning store owner.
He (Mr. Huebner) came
up to me after the pageant
and said that had I been
three years older I would
have won the contest hands
down, l aughed Lunde,
who retired from work-
ing at the Stoughton Hos-
pitals gift shop at age 92
and is believe to be the last
surviving 1933 Miss Wis-
consin contestant. I was
so young then, I had never
been in a pageant before
and I really never expected
to be a Miss Wisconsin
contestant.
She was one of three
girls in a family of six, and
would later graduate from
Stoughton High School in
1934. She married her first
husband Herman (Hans)
Joseph Gjeston (who died
in 1972) and they have two
children, Katherine Louise
Gjeston Utter and David
Gjeston. Besides raising a
family, she also owned and
operated Beccas Day Care
for many years in Stough-
ton and also worked various
jobs and volunteered at the
Stoughton Hospital.
In September 1974, she
married her high school
classmate and Stoughton
area farmer Olaf J. Lunde,
who died in April 2012 at
age 96. She still lives in
an apartment at a Stough-
ton senior care indepen-
dent living facility, where
she keeps active with other
senior residents and accept-
ing visitors.
The state pageant never
again returned to Cam-
bridge, and even now after
80 years since that two-
day eventful program, it
remains as one of the big-
gest events to ever come to
Cambridge and be staged at
Lake Ripley. It also remains
one of the biggest high-
lights for Lunde, who still
says that she was very hon-
ored to be Miss Stoughton
1933, and felt flattered
that she had won it.
I still have my competi-
tion Miss Stoughton ban-
ner after all these years,
she said. And after 80 years,
Rebecca Skokstad Lunde is
remembered as well.

Obituary
Debra J. Anderson
Debra J. Anderson, age
61, passed on to the spiri-
tual world on August 18,
at her home, surrounded
by her family. She had
bravely fought pancreatic
cancer for over a year.
Debra was born July 22,
1952 in Medina, Ohio, the
daughter of Marvin and
Roberta Hall. She gradu-
ated from Medina High
School in 1970. Debra
then moved to Austin,
Tex. where she lived for
five years.
Debbie had a passion for
music and invested herself
in the creative music cul-
ture in Austin. She often
talked about the job she
had where she did set up
for musicians including
Willie Nelson, Michael
Murphy, and Seals and
Croft.
Debbi e was a spi ri -
tual searcher and in 1975
j oi ned t he Uni fi cat i on
Church in Austin. This
was the beginning of a
long and exciting life of
spiritual dedication and
service. For several years
she was very active teach-
i ng and worki ng wi t h
Chur ch pr ogr ams and
campus ministry.
Her l i fe t ook a dra-
matic new direction on
July 1 1982 when she was
blessed in holy marriage
to Jim Anderson in the
2075 blessing in Madison
Square Garden. Debbie
and Jim moved to Cha-
pel Hill, N.C., in 1987. It
was there they had a son
Bradford in 1988 and then
twins Vanessa and Alisa
in 1990. Later that year
she moved with her family
to Stoughton, where she
spent the rest of her life
and had one more child,
Austin in 1994.
In spite of raising a big
family Debbie remained
very active in the Church.
She was a ver y good
speaker. Debbie served
as a pastor in the local
Church and also taught
Sunday School as well as
helping on Summer work-
shops for the kids.
Debbie was a great sing-
er and loved to perform.
She sang at Church servic-
es as well as at weddings
and funerals. Debbie had a
pure heart and her singing
would often move people
to tears.
As Debbie came closer
to the end of her battle
wi t h cancer she mai n-
tained a beautiful spirit
and said that although
she would dearly miss
friends and family, she
was excited that she would
soon be able to see friends
and loved ones who had
passed on to the other side
and that she was looking
forward to continuing to
serve God in the spiritual
world. God Bless Debbie!
We will dearly miss her!
Debbie is survived by
her husband Jim; her chil-
dren, Bradford, Al i sa,
Vanessa, and Austin; her
mother Roberta Irwin; and
her brother, Dennis Hall.
She was preceded in death
by her father, Marvin Hall
and her brother Rick.
Funeral services were
he l d on We dne s da y,
August 21 at Cress Funeral
Home in Stoughton. Buri-
al took place at Riverside
Cemetery in Stoughton.
The family would like to
give a special thanks to
Agrace HospiceCare Inc.
for their loving help and
care. Debbie would like
any donations to go to a
special fund to help under-
privileged in Nepal.

achievement of soil stabilization. The permittee shall inspect the site weekly, and
prior to every forecasted rain fall of one half-inch or greater.
(j) Timeframe and Expiration:
(1) Erosion Control plan timetables and construction schedules must begin
within one year of the date of the application for permit is submitted.
(2) All applications for permit shall expire:
(a) one year from the date the applicant is notifed of an application defciency,

ments in subsection (b) of this section, and shall address at a minimum the following
information:
(10) A summary of infltration calculations including:
(a) Pre-developed infltration volume.
(b) Calculated infltration volume goal.
(c) Achieved post development infltration volume.
(b) Stormwater management performance standards. Proposed design, sug-
gested location and phased implementation of effective, practicable stormwater
management measures for plans shall be designed, engineered and implemented to
achieve the following results:
(3) Runoff rate control.
a. Hydrologic calculations. All runoff calculations shall be according to the
methodology described in the Natural Resources Conservation Services Technical
Release 55, Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds (commonly known as TR-55),
or other methodology approved by the Dane County conservationist. For agricul-
tural land subject to this article, the maximum runoff curve number (RCN) used in
such calculations shall be 51 for hydrologic soil group (HSG) A, 68 for HSG B, 79 for
HSG C, and 84 for HSG D. The TR-55-specifed curve numbers for other land uses
shall be used. Heavily disturbed sites will be lowered one permeability class for hy-
drologic calculations. Lightly disturbed areas require no modifcation. Where prac-
tices have been implemented to restore soil structure to predeveloped conditions,
no permeability class modifcation is required. The maximum runoff curve number
(RCN) used in such calculations shall be those shown in Table 1:
Table 1. Maximum Pre-development Runoff Curve Numbers
Runoff Curve Number Hydrologic Soil Group*
A B C D
Woodland 30 55 70 77
Grassland 39 61 71 78
Cropland 51 68 78 83
*When dual HSG are specifed, the drained condition shall be assumed
b. Runoff rate controldesign standards. Except for redevelopment projects,
all stormwater facilities shall be designed, installed and maintained to effectively
accomplish the following:
1. Maintain predevelopment peak runoff rates for the 1-year, 24-hour storm
event (2.5 inches over 24-hour duration)
1.2. Maintain predevelopment peak runoff rates for the two-year 24-hour storm
event (2.9 inches over 24-hour duration).
2.3. Maintain predevelopment peak runoff rates for the ten-year 24-hour storm
event (4.2 inches over 24-hour duration).
3.4. Safely pass the 100-year 24-hour storm event (6.0 inches over 24 hours
duration).
(5) Infltration.
a. Residential development. For residential developments, design practices to
infltrate suffcient runoff volume so that post-development infltration volume shall
be at least 90 percent of the pre-development infltration volume, based upon aver-
age annual rainfall. If when designing appropriate infltration systems, more than
one percent of the site is required to be used as effective infltration area, the ap-
plicant may alternately design infltration systems and pervious surfaces to meet
or exceed the estimated average annual recharge rate (7.6 inches per year). If this
alternative design approach is taken, at least one percent of the site must be used
for infltration.
For both residential and nonresidential developments, design practices to infl-
trate suffcient runoff volume so that post-development infltration volume shall be
at least 90% of the pre-development infltration volume, based upon average annual
rainfall.
b. Nonresidential development. For nonresidential development, including
commercial, industrial, and institutional development, design practices to infltrate
suffcient runoff volume so that post-development infltration volume shall be at
least 60 percent of the pre-development infltration volume, based on average an-
nual rainfall. If when designing appropriate infltration systems, more than two per-
cent of the site is required to be used as effective infltration area, the applicant may
alternately design infltration systems and pervious surfaces to meet or exceed the
estimated average annual recharge rate (7.6 inches per year). If this alternative de-
sign approach is taken, at least two percent of the site must be used for infltration.
The maximum runoff curve number (RCN) used in such calculations shall be
those specifed in 10.131(b)(3)a Table 1.
c. If, when designing appropriate infltration systems, more than two percent
(2%) of the site is required to be used as effective infltration area, the applicant
may alternately design infltration systems and pervious surfaces to meet or exceed
the annual pre-development recharge rate. The annual pre-development recharge
rate shall be determined from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Sur-
veys 2009 report, Groundwater Recharge in Dane County, Estimated by a GIS-Based
Water-Balanced Model or subsequent updates to this report, or by a site specifc
analysis using other appropriate techniques. If this alternative design approach is
taken, at least two percent (2%) of the site must be used for infltration.
c. Pre-treatment. Before infltrating runoff, pre-treatment shall be required for
parking lot runoff and for runoff from new road construction in commercial, indus-
trial, and institutional areas that will enter an infltration system. The pre-treatment
shall be designed to protect the infltration system from clogging prior to scheduled
maintenance and to protect groundwater quality.
d. Prohibitions. Notwithstanding subparagraphs a. through c., infltration sys-
tems may not be installed in any of the following areas:
1. Areas associated with tier 1 industrial facilities identifed in section. NR
216.21(2)(a), Wis. Admin. Code, including storage, loading, rooftop and parking.
2. Storage and loading areas of tier 2 industrial facilities identifed in section NR
216.21(2)(b), Wis. Admin. Code.
3. Fueling and vehicle maintenance areas.
4. Areas within 1,000 feet up gradient or within 100 feet down gradient of karst
features. Areas within 1,000 feet up gradient or within 100 feet down gradient of
direct conduits to groundwater.
5. Areas with less than three feet separation distance from bottom of the infl-
tration system to the elevation of seasonal high groundwater or the top of bedrock,
except that this provision does not prohibit infltration of roof runoff. Separation
distances. Infltration practices shall be located so that the characteristics of the
soil and the separation distance between the bottom of the infltration system and
the elevation of seasonal high groundwater or the top of bedrock are in accordance
with Table 2:
Table 2. Separation Distances and Soil Characteristics

6. Areas with runoff from industrial, commercial and institutional parking lots,
roads and residential arterial roads with less than fve feet separation distance from
the bottom of the infltration system to the elevation of seasonal high groundwater
or the top of bedrock.
7. Areas within 400 feet of a community water system well as specifed in sec-
tion NR 811.16(4), Wis. Admin. Code, for runoff infltrated from commercial, indus-
trial and institutional land uses or regional devices for residential development.
8. Areas where contaminants of concern, as defned in section NR 720.03(2),
Wis. Admin. Code, are present in the soil through which infltration will occur.
9. Any area where the soil does not exhibit one of the following characteristics
between the bottom of the infltration system and the seasonal high groundwater
and top of bedrock: at least a fve-foot soil layer with ten percent fnes or greater.
This provision does not apply where the soil medium within the infltration system
provides an equivalent level of protection and does not prohibit infltration of roof
runoff.
2. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its date of pub-
lication.
