Stoughton Area School District
Despite referendum, staff reductions likely
Board begins tackling 2014-15 budget
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unied Newspaper Group
Last weeks success-
ful four-year, $20 million
recurring referendum may
have saved the Stoughton
Area School District from
maki ng ext reme budget
cuts. But facing contin-
ued declining enrollment,
school board members will
likely continue reducing
staff positions to match
recent enrollment trends.
With a nearly two-thirds
positive vote, the referen-
dum provided the district
with a vote of confidence,
but residents will expect
perhaps now more than
ever fiscal responsibility.
At Monday nights board
meeting, district super-
i nt endent Ti m Onsager
noted that, as he recom-
mended $253,250 in budget
increases for next year,
including two additional
teaching positions and two
interpreters for deaf stu-
dents, as well as $399,000
in cuts, including 6.6 teach-
ing positions.
With enrollment declin-
ing, Onsager said the dis-
trict has built into its bud-
get projections a need to
reduce at least two full-time
employees in each of the
next four years, though that
does not limit the board to
those cuts. He said high
school enrollment is pro-
jected to go down about 30
students next year.
We want to be proactive
in setting up our students
for success, Onsager said.
Possible additions
Onsagers recommend-
ed increases include an
increase of 0.5 for school-
to-work coordinator Cindy
Vaughn, which would bring
her position to 0.8 of full
time. The move would add
Reduce, reuse or recycle?
City committee considering reduction of single-use bags
MARK IGNATOWSKI
The common question of paper
or plastic? at the store could be a
phrase of the past as Stoughton offi-
cials look to curtail the number of
single-use plastic bags in the city.
The city is looking into a pos-
sible plan to eliminate or reduce
the number of these bags used by
retailers in Stoughton. No proposal
has been developed yet, but the
citys public works committee is
reviewing options and gathering
public input on the issue.
Public works director Karl Man-
the said a resident brought the
issue to the committee in Novem-
ber and staff and members have
been looking into how the city
might approach the subject.
The issue isnt new to the state
Eau Claire and Madison have both
been looking at similar policies to
reduce the usage. Manthe said the
city will likely follow Eau Claires
approach and form a subcommit-
tee on sustainability to delve into
the issue. That committee would
likely form within in the next
few months, he said. Researching
the issue would take another few
months.
An outright ban might not be the
citys first approach, Manthe said,
as there are many complicated
issues that go along with trying to
reduce the number of plastic bags

Stoughton might work on a plan to reduce the number of single-use plastic bags in the city, after concerns about the effect on the envi-
ronment were brought up by a resident late last year.

A Healing Hand
Handmade scrapbooks donated to the Stoughton hospital
will help patients with recovery
KIMBERLY WETHAL
Hub Correspondent
Katherine Christensen
has been a caregiver for as
long as she can remember.
(My family) took care
of a little old lady down
the street, Christensen
said. Wed go and get her
groceries for her, because
she didnt have a car, and
if we were lucky, shed
give us a nickel.
Christensen is now using
that caregiver instinct to
create scrapbooks that are
donated to the Stoughton
area, including Stoughton
Hospital on March 27. The
scrapbooks will be used
with patients with varying
needs, such as dementia,
during their stay.
Christensen started this
project when she inherited
a cat, named Mickey, from
a family member.
So I took the cat, and
of course when you have a
cat, you have to have Cat
Fancy magazine to know
what to do, Christensen
said. I had accumulated
three years worth of Cat
Fancy magazines, and said,
Gee, I could become a
hoarder. So I decided to
make something of the pic-
tures in the catalogs and
magazines.
The skills used in mak-
ing the scrapbooks were
l earned at a young age
from her grandmother as
she and her siblings were
allowed to go to Grand-
mas house and cut pic-
tures out of local maga-
zines.
Christensen, who worked
at Stoughton Utilities until
2006 and has volunteered
at pl aces and organi za-
tions such as the Stoughton
Opera House, the Stough-
ton Hospital, Red Cross
and Badger Honor Flight,
creat es her scrapbooks
around a central theme,
ranging from cats and oth-
er animals to beach land-
scapes and flowers.
I try and finish with a
saying or a thought on the
back page (of each scrap-
book), she said.
The St ought on Hos -
pital sees large benefits
from using the scrapbooks
with patients at a variety
of ages, from young chil-
dren as a way to calm them
down and serving as a dis-
traction before or during a
doctors visit, to the elder-
ly as a way to rejuvenate
their spirits.
When wor ki ng wi t h
i ndi vi dual s t hat have
dementia, having picture
books like this are prob-
abl y t he most popul ar
because they brighten peo-
ples moods, Stoughton
hospital representative Jen-
ny Erb said. We can look
at these for hours and itll
bring back memories of
a cat they had that looked
l i ke (one i n t he scrap-
book) or theyll say, Oh,
thats my cat, and itll
lighten their mood. (The
scrapbooks) are wonderful
tools to use with dementia
patients.
Dement i a pat i ent s at
the hospital can begin to
regain some of their old
personalities that are lost
due to the disease when
looking at picture books
similar to the scrapbooks
that Christensen has made,
said Erb.
We had a gent l eman
who used to polish all of
his cars (who) would take
this antique car book and
a rag and woul d pol i sh
the cars in the books, Erb
said. It was awesome to
see as hed flip the page
and pol i sh anot her car.
It was something that he
could still do.
I n a d d i t i o n t o t h e
Stoughton Hospital, Chris-
tensen has donated mul-
tiple books to the Skaalen
home, and she has future
plans to expand the amount
of scrapbooks in the com-
munity.
I want t o be abl e t o
get (the scrapbooks) into
all the nursing homes in
St ought on, at l east one
or two, and I eventually
would like to give to the
vet er ans, Chr i st ensen
said.
The work is almost ther-
apeutic for Christensen, as
she keeps her cat by her as
she creates her scrapbook
mast erpi eces and hand-
delivers them.
Im not watching TV,
Im doing something cre-
ative to give to someone
else, Christensen said.
Christensen is willing to
accept donations of extra
cal endars or magazi nes
that community members
have sitting around and are
not sure what to do with.
To donate, contact Chris-
tensen at kaychristensen@
charter.net.

lived in Stoughton some 15
years.
Bach said it illustrates
the power of having your
name printed on the ballot
versus running as a write-
in.
The emot i onal par t
of i t i s di sappoi nt i ng,
he said of the outcome.
Its always fun to think
of being an unknown that
comes from nowhere and
wins something without
having really done any-
thing. But in reality, it was
quite clear to me the power
of having your name on the
ballot.
Other write-in candidates
came to the same conclu-
sion.
Mayor Donna Ol s on
handi l y def eat ed chal -
lenger Dennis Kittleson,
yet Kittleson felt he made
a respectable showing. It
was very much worth the
effort, he said. Im very
proud of all the people who
worked with me and for
me.
He said contrary to a
popular assumption that the
write-ins entered the race
only because of the Kettle
Park West cont roversy,
he had other concerns that
prompted him to run for
mayor. He thinks the city
should be run more like
a business and be more
proactive in pursuit of
economic development.
Ki t t l es on s ai d KPW
was probabl y t he part
that pushed me over the
edge, but theres a lot more
issues going on here that I
dont like.
Business owner Phil Car-
avello had a similar view.
I think theres more to it
than Kettle Park West, he
said.
A lot of folks told me
they wanted some fresh
perspective in city gov-
er nment , even bef or e
KPW, Caravello said. A
lot didnt really know the
KPW thing was going on,
but they had history with
deal i ng wi t h Ci t y Hal l
and it was like, good for
you that youre running;
we need fresh people and
ideas.
Mayor Ol s on di dn t
respond to questions about
the election, but Coun-
cil President Eric Hohol
agreed that not having a
name on the ballot present-
ed an uphill battle for the
write-ins. He also interpret-
ed the fact that four people
came forward as write-in
candidates and, in Kittle-
sons case, received more
than 1,000 votes, as a posi-
tive sign.
It shows that there is
some concern in the com-
munity, and that voters
want to make sure that we
do the right thing, Hohol
said.
But he thinks its unfor-
tunate that there was just
one t opi c ( KPW) t hat
spurred them to try to get
on the council.
I was really happy with
the outcome, he added.
Im a strong proponent
of the mayor. I think she
does a good job, and I was
happy that she did keep her
seat.
Bach said he will con-
tinue to pursue a seat on
t he counci l r epr esent -
ing District 4. Hohol said
he expects the council to
take applications for the
seat and make an appoint-
ment. Bach plans to sub-
mit an application and stay
involved.
Everybody can describe
the problem, but thats not
enough, he said. You
should have a solution, or
at least have something
positive that adds a little
bit of value.
I dont see a gadfly as
offering a solution, Bach
added. I want to continue
pursuing a seat because Id
like to try to make a differ-
ence.
Li kewi s e, Car avel l o
doesnt plan to bow out
and only go back his busi-
ness of fixing and selling
bicycles.
I will be paying more
attention, he said. You
will see me at more city
council meetings, and I
will be talking to more peo-
ple. I think that would help
our community in general
if more people would pay
attention. Weve got a lot
of smart people in town
and a lot of resources that
can be tapped.
Caravel l o and Ki t t l e-
son both said that enter-
ing the fray by participat-
ing in a candidates forum
and reaching out to voters
turned out to be fun.
For his part, Kittleson
has no intention of passive-
ly walking away.
Whet her I at t end al l
the meetings or not, I will
be watching agenda items
that come up and I will be
in contact with my alders
to make sure theyre doing
the job for me and the other
citizens that I expect, he
said. Im focused on the
mayors position because I
feel right now the way the
committees and council is
set up, its slanted. I dont
see the council having the
power that they need to
have. I think theres too
much power in the mayors
office and on the adminis-
tration side.
As of right now, he
added, I do plan to run in
2018 for mayor. Im not
gonna walk away.

Community showed great support
for SASD funding referendum
Thi s el ect i on season, t he
St ought on communi t y came
together to pass a school refer-
endum on April 1. Not only did
it pass, but it passed by a large
margin: 63-37 percent, or 3,801-
2,227.
Thi s margi n and t he vot er
turnout is a great show of sup-
port for our schools, the value of
education, and our community.
Strong Schools Strong Commu-
nity, a group that came together
to support the referendum, would
accordingly like to offer some
thanks.
First, thank you to all who vot-
ed. Your vote now ensures our
kids will have the services and
programs they need, class sizes
are reasonable, and our commu-
nity remains an attractive place to
have a family.
Second, thanks to those who
volunteered, donated, phone-
banked, lit-dropped, knocked on
doors, wrote letters, put up a yard
sign, allowed us to use their name,
came to events, and otherwise
supported the cause. This includes
some of Stoughtons own stu-
dents, who organized a rally and
volunteered at other events. They
exemplify why this referendum
was so important.
Third, thanks to the Stoughton
City Council and town boards
who passed resolutions in sup-
port of the referendum. These
votes in favor recognize that a
strong community depends on
strong schoolsto keep families
in the community and attract new
families, preserve property values,
ensure an educated work force,
and otherwise make the commu-
nity more vibrant.
Finally, hats off to the district
personnel who made over 50 pre-
sentations to the community, put
together materials to educate vot-
ers about the referendum, were
available to answer questions,
attended meetings, and otherwise
worked very hard these last sev-
eral months. Similarly, thanks
to teachers and school staff who
make our schools great. You made
our jobs easier by delivering such
a wonderful product every day.
Special thanks go to Tricia
Burke, Paul and Emily Meier,
Peter Sveum, Lloyd Rowley,
Andy Lyons, Bruce and Cindy
Andre, Dave Ganser, and others
who made in-kind contributions
or volunteered in ways that helped
keep our groups costs down. We
appreciate each and every one of
you, and the wonderful commu-
nity that made this happen.

Ald. Lawrence thankful for support
I dont get a chance to say
this often enough: Thank You,
Stoughton!
Thank you to all my support-
ers during this past election. I am
honored and humbled.
And, of course, thank you to
all who voted for me. I pledge to
do my best for you, and the rest
of the city, during the next three
years on the Council. I look for-
ward to it!

Letters to the editor
Kettle Park West approval is good for Stoughtons future
I am not shocked that some peo-
ple are upset with the citys deci-
sion to move ahead with the Kettle
West Development.
It is widely known that Stough-
ton has a small vocal contingent
of anti-growth residents and I am
sure their presence has contributed
in some way to our recent lack of
growth. I am glad for their sake
that they lived here before others
like them developed this attitude.
Lets be honest - Stoughton
hasnt had any real growth over
the past decade and it affects every
taxpayer in the 53589 zip code and
in some cases beyond that. Our
schools have declining enrollments
and yes, some of that is because
of people these days having fewer
children. But that isnt the only rea-
son.
Why are we not getting fami-
lies to move here or even stay
here? Could it be the lack of local
job opportunities? Could it be that
other communities are perceived to
offer more in the way of shopping
opportunities? Could our neigh-
boring communities be viewed as
being more full service communi-
ties?
Stoughton has been home to
my family for almost 20 years. I
opened my business here 17 years
ago. We love it here, but I am not
so blind so think that we couldnt
improve things here
The Kettle Park West develop-
ment will not solve all our chal-
lenges but it will allow us to move
ahead as a community. It will allow
for the expansion of one of our
local retailers Wal-Mart. I believe
others will follow suit. Wal-Marts
new store along with other busi-
nesses that move to this new devel-
opment will create jobs. Jobs right
here in Stoughton. I am sure that
some will continue to pooh- pooh
these as not good jobs, but if you
dont have job, or have to drive to
the far west side of Madison for a
job, this does offer you a choice.
If allowed to move forward, I see
the proposed improvements along
Hwy. 51 as an additional positive.
Try getting across Roby Road at
5 p.m. A stop and go light there,
along with ones at Jackson Street
and the intersection of Hwy. 51
and Hwy. 138 will make Stoughton
safer.
Lastly, one does have to ask, are
the vocal minority really against
growth or it is really their disdain
of WalMart? They were against
the Linnerud annexation and
development ten years ago. They
are against the Kettle Park West
development now. What do these
have in common? Yes, the expan-
sion of a local business that has
been a good citizen of Stoughton
for over 20 years the evil empire
WalMart.
I do wonder if all this fuss would
be made if the new big box store
was Target or another like them.
Makes you think, doesnt it?

Election results dont mean theres support for KPW
So Donna Olson and Paul Law-
rence have escaped from the write-
in candidates running against them.
However, lest they see this as
tacit approval of the KPW develop-
ment and the questionable activi-
ties surrounding it, including the
silent majority term that is ban-
died about, they should instead
take note that there is clearly a sig-
nificant number of people who care
deeply about the future of Stough-
ton, who want to make sure the
finances and resources of this city
are used appropriately after care-
ful and deliberate consideration.
There were enough of these people
to organize an effective write-in
campaign on short notice and gar-
ner a significant amount of votes.
During this recent campaign
I did some further research into
TIFs. Their original purpose was
for the redevelopment of blighted
properties, making them ideal for
Stoughtons railroad corridor and
many of the properties along the
riverfront. TIFs are arguably a
good tool for encouraging some-
thing like Uniroyal to move into
the industrial park, where the infra-
structure and location there might
serve them better than their loca-
tion near the river.
The use of TIFs for develop-
ments like KPW, and indirectly
for corporate giants like Wal-Mart
who dont need the assistance,
while just recently technically
legal, should be considered ques-
tionable at best.
As I thought about that I remem-
bered another hot topic of recent
years: residents being required to
pay a portion of the cost for side-
walk/curb/gutter replacement on
their streets (sometimes more than
once if their street was repaired
multiple times). The last time I
visited this topic I questioned why
there wasnt more effort into find-
ing a better solution, or at least why
residents who cant pay the special
assessment all at once are forced to
pay a finance fee.
Both of these lead me to ques-
tion where the priorities of some
members of the city council lie.
Why is the council forcing so much
infrastructure cost on the residen-
tial taxpayers with strapped bud-
gets when more palatable methods
are available, including expecting
those with the wherewithal to pay,
such as Wal-Mart, to pay their fair
share?
So while Donna Olson and the
others who seem bound and deter-
mined to ram through the KPW
development have kept their offices
in this election, they should see this
election as a warning that they are
now being watched very closely.

Young professionals wont move here for Wal-Mart
At the Feb. 11 council meet-
ing, those in favor of the Kettle
Park West project presented a list
of reasons that Wal-Mart was an
important component to bringing
young people to Stoughton.
Their AH HA moment? Wal-
Mart will bring jobs and Wal-
Mart sells things that young peo-
ple need... like diapers and toilet
paper.
Really? Are you serious? Do
you actually expect that a big box
development will draw young
people to Stoughton? Ridiculous.
Young professionals dont
move to cities for low retail
wages, diapers and toilet paper!
Young people move to cities for
jobs that pay a living wage. For
example, healthcare, manufactur-
ing or technology. Young people
move to cities for easy access to
things like green space, micro
brewpubs and disc golf.
I urge our mayor and council to
get out of the 1990s mindset and
spend our TIF money on some-
thing that will pay off for years to
come. Its time to put together a
progressive and sustainable eco-
nomic development plan.

Evans makes N2K finals
Stoughton student Andy
Evans competed March 28
in the finals for the N2K
or National Number Knock-
out in Orlando. He com-
peted for a $10,000 prize,
which was won by Aaron
Slack of Alabama.
We are proud of him for
even qualifying, said his
mother, Amy Evans. They
were incredible kids all of
them.
N2K, or National Num-
ber Knockout, is a compe-
tition for students 14 and
under. Its played using a
board of the numbers 1-36
and three dice.
The dice are rolled and
all three numbers are used
in each round to develop an
equation. The answer to the
equation is used to elimi-
nate, or knock out, num-
bers from the game board,
the focus of which is speed
and accuracy. The game is
played in a series of 60-sec-
ond rounds where the equa-
tion must be stated clearly
using the correct order of
operations.
In February, contend-
ers submitted a 90-second
scouting video, and were
selected much like an audi-
tion for American Idol or an
athlete who is scouted by a
college coach, and 33 final-
ists from across the country
were announced on March
1.

Christ in the Passover
demonstration comes to
LakeView Church
Christ In The Passover,
a vivid and exciting dem-
onstration showing how
Jesus fulfilled the ancient
feast of Passover, will be
held on Friday, April 18,
at LakeView Church in
Stoughton.
This kosher-style din-
ner and presentation is
open to the public and
LakeView Church invites
people of all faiths to
attend. The program will
be conducted by Joshua
and Richelle Norman of
Chosen People Ministries,
Chicago, Ill.
Christ In The Passover
begins with the traditional
Passover Seder table
complete with all the arti-
cles of this important Jew-
ish celebration. The speak-
er will explain the symbol-
ic meanings of the various
items of the Passover feast
and highlight their rela-
tionship to the Last Sup-
per that Christ celebrated
with His disciples, giving
special emphasis on the
redemptive significance of
the crucifixion.
It will give the Chris-
tian community insight
into Jewish traditions so
that the Jewish roots of
Christianity can be better
understood. This program
also helps the Jewish and
Chri st i an communi t i es
understand their common
heritage.
Reservat i ons can be
made online at lakevc.org/
passover or call the church
office at 873-9838, week-

OWI patrol this weekend
Stoughtons third round
of high-visibility drunk-
en-driving patrols is this
weekend.
So when drivers take
to the streets next Friday
night, April 11, theyll
l i kel y see 17 or more
police cars from agencies
all over the county patrol-
ling Main Street and other
high-traffic areas. Nor-
mally, a busy night has
two or three officers out
on patrol.
The idea of the patrols
is not to catch drunken
drivers so much as prevent
them.
The program is paid by
a state grant, which covers
overtime expenses of up
to $30,000 for all depart-
ments for the year and
also paid for some reflec-
tive signs the first year.
Each l ocal communi t y
can add to that signage as
it chooses, and last year,
Stoughton used one light-
ed sign, four pink, neon
signs and LED road flares
to alert drivers.

The Wisdom of Old Folks
It is worthwhile spending time with folks
who have been around the block a time
or two. Older folks have been around long
enough to have picked up some valuable
wisdom along the way. I recently heard
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer
being interviewed, and he mentioned that
his father didnt give much advice, which is
usually wise, but that before he died he told
him to stay on the payroll and to do your
job, i.e., to do your job well. That reminds
me of something my father always said,
which was to always give your employer
an honest days work. The first time I recall
taking the time to sincerely listen to one of
my elders was when I was in college and
stopped my daily run to talk to an elderly
gentleman from my neighborhood who
was always out walking his small dog. He
always smiled and said hello and so I
decided one day to cut my run short and
talk to him for a few minutes. His advice
was a simple reflection of his own life.
Smile and say hello to everyone you
meet was his kind advice. And then he told
me to be your own doctor. His message
was essentially that you know whats good
for you and whats not, what to eat and
how to keep your body healthy, so be your
own doctor. Good advice coming from
someone who was probably in his nineties
at the time.

Extra costs
So far, city staff have talk-
ed with several local retailers
about how the bag ban might
affect their business, Manthe
said. The consensus is that
plastic is cheaper and that
businesses would rather let
customers choose what type
of bag they want to use
whether its paper, plastic or
their own reusable bag.
PickN Save store man-
ager Franci sco Mendez
said regulating plastic bags
wouldnt have a huge impact
on the store other than the
cost of using more paper
bags. Plastic is about four or
five cents cheaper, Mendez
said, adding that the store
goes through thousands of
bags each week.
Mendez echoed the sen-
timent that customers like
the ability to choose what
bag they use. He said many
people dont like to put
meat products in paper bags
because they can leak.
PickN Save is one of a
couple stores to offer shop-
pers a place to recycle their
used plastic bags. Two
bins are located at the store
entrances where customers
can drop their used bags.
They also have a bin for used
paper bags. The recycling is
handled through their corpo-
rate office, Mendez said.
Customers at PickN Save
are also rewarded for bring-
ing their own bags. Shoppers
get a nickel discount up to
25 cents for bringing their
own reusable bags.
In city documents, Manthe
said other businesses would
be willing to have the plastic
bag collection bins if there
were no cost to the store.
Some store already push
more paper than plastic bags,
but some items are too heavy
for paper bags. In general,
the businesses were not sup-
portive of charging a fee for
bags.
Manthe also said there
might be some sort of store
size limit put in place so
that smaller retailers arent
adversely affected by a fee or
ban.
Citizen survey
Those sentiments were
echoed in a citizen survey
sent out to more than 400
residents on city email lists.
About 120 people responded.
Most recognized the impact
plastic bags have on the envi-
ronment but were opposed to
any type of fee for choosing
plastic over another type of
bag.
Nearly 70 percent of sur-
vey respondents thought
reducing plastic bags would
be very helpful for the
environment. Another 17
percent said the reduction
would be somewhat helpful.
About half the respondents
said they would support a tax
or fee on single-use bags in
the city. About 36 percent
said they would not and 14
percent were unsure.
Some respondents already
take steps to reducing plastic
bag use. About 33 percent of
respondents said they bring
their own bags shopping
almost all the time. About
19 percent said they never
bring bags. About 45 percent
of people answered in the
middle, say they bring their
bags half the time or occa-
sionally.
When respondents do get
plastic bags, they usually use
them one more time before
they get thrown away. People
often use the bags for trash-
can liners and picking up pet
waste. Only 13 percent said
they recycle the bags while
about 15 percent of people
s a i d t he y
throw the bags away.
Respondents were some-
what divided on whether a
fee would be a good way to
reduce plastic bag usage,
with 43 percent saying yes,
35 percent no and 22 percent
were unsure.
If there were a five-cent
fee per bag, up to five bags,
respondents said they would
be likely to bring their own
bag nearly 64 percent
while another 22 percent said
they would shop in another
community that didnt have a
fee. Only about 5 percent of
respondents would buy the
single-use bag at a fee.
Baby steps
Manthe said he thought
the city might take a similar
approach to the issue as Eau
Claire did starting in 2013.
Eau Claire created a Sus-
tainable Bag Committee
charged with creating a plan
for plastic and paper bag
reduction. The committee
comprised 14 representatives
with different ties to the com-
munity and issue. There were
leaders from the business
community, schools, cham-
ber of commerce, a landfill
expert, sustainability leaders,
Common Council members
and average citizens.
After about eight months,
the committee came up with
the goal to reduce single-use
bag usage in the city by 80
percent over the course of
five years. It aims to accom-
plish the goal through edu-
cation and promoting reus-
able bags and will eventu-
ally use a fee system if the
goal is not met, according
to a news release from the
group.
Details of how a similar
committee structure might
work in Stoughton have not
yet been hashed out.
Manthe said the Public
Works committee wants to
be sure that residents and
businesses owners have a
say in the issue.
Were goi ng t o t ake
some baby steps and make
sure we do things correct-
ly, Manthe said.
The next public works
committee meeting is slated
for April 15, although an
agenda for that meeting has
not yet been set.
Bags: City staff have talked with local retailers about how a bag ban might affect business
The City of
Stoughton
may soon look
at regulating
single-use plastic
bags in order to
reduce the bur-
den on the envi-
ronment. Some
companies, like
PickN Save, are
already encour-
aging shoppers
to bring their
own bags cus-
tomers get a
five-cent refund
for each reusable
bag.

High hopes for conference, return to state
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
A year removed from making the
WIAA Division 1 state semifinals,
the Stoughton High School baseball
team is looking to once again make
a run.
And many people around the state
are thinking the same as the Vikings
were ranked No. 7 on the Prep Base-
ball Report preseason rankings and
No. 8 on the Wisconsin Baseball
Coaches Association poll.
Part of the reason for the opti-
mism is the return of senior pitcher
PJ Rosowski and junior pitcher Cade
Bunnell. Rosowski, a first-team all-
conference selection, was 7-1 with
a 2.35 ERA last season, while Bun-
nell, a second-team all conference
pitcher, was 4-3 with a 2.75 ERA.
Senior Josh Eugster is also expect-
ed to pitch quality innings this sea-
son, as Stoughton lost graduate Dane
Schultz, who is pitching for the
Division III University of Wiscon-
sin-Oshkosh.
On the offensive side, head coach
Jeremy Dunnihoo said that while the
Vikings might not have returning
varsity players with as much talent
as some of the other top schools in
the area, Stoughton has put togeth-
er a highly talented program.
Pitching will be a plus as
both pitchers who earned wins
at the sectional return along
with many quality arms, Dun-
nihoo said. Offensively, the
team will have a nice combination of
power, speed, and small-ball abili-
ties.
Stoughtons top returners include
senior Chris Lund, who batted .340
in 2013, and junior Alex Zacharias,
who batted .294. Seniors Austin
Miller, Brett Byrne and Braden Poir-
er and junior Jacob Johnson, who
Dunihoo said brings speed and intel-
ligence to the top of the order, also
return from last season.
Stoughton does lose a lot of
offense from 2013, with graduates
Zach Nyhagen, Tony Volk,
Zach Bower, Ben Gerber and
Connor Bloyer all hitting
over .260 last season.
Juniors and newcomers
Zach Hasselberger and Alec
Showers are expected to help
fill those holes early. Showers is
expected to play in the outfield and
help the pitching staff, while Has-
selberger looks to be a utility player
with speed and the ability to play
multiple positions.
Many players will be asked to
step into new roles, but have all the
skills necessary, Dunnihoo said.
Conference preview
Stoughton finished 15-11 over-
all (8-4 Badger South Conference)
in 2013, tying Fort Atkinson and
Monona Grove for the conference
title.
This season, Dunnihoo said he
expects the race to once again be
contested, and the team to beat,
according to the Wisconsin Baseball
Coaches Association poll is Madison
Edgewood, which returns 85 percent
of its at-bats.
First-team pitcher/third baseman
Colten Demorett also returns to lead
Edgewood, while senior infielders
Tyler Westrick, a first-teamer, and
Connor Bowen, a second-teamer, are
back for Milton.
Senior outfielder Daniel Jacobson
is back after a first-team selection
along with senior honorable mention
Alex Bakken for Fort Atkinson,
while Monona Grove returns hon-
orable mention seniors Todd Bauer
and Brock Offerdahl.
Oregon is also expected to be bet-
ter with a pitching staff led by senior
Logan Laski.
Stoughton hosts Edgewood on
May 1, and it hosts Monona Grove
on April 17. The Vikings also travel
to MG on May 13.
Stoughton travels to Fort Atkin-
son on April 29 and hosts the Black-
hawks on May 22. The Vikings
travel to Milton on April 22 and
hosts Milton on May 16, and they
host Oregon on April 15 and travel
to Oregon on May 9.
All conference games are at 5
p.m.
Lady Vikings look for another conference, sectional title
ANTHONY IOZZO
The Stoughton High School girls
track and field team not only won
its third-straight Badger South Con-
ference title last season but the Lady
Vikings also won the first sectional
title in school history.
With 21 returning letterwinners,
including five individual state quali-
fiers and three-fourths of the 3200
relay which also qualified for state
the Vikings look strong enough
to once again compete for not just a
fourth conference title but a second
sectional title, as well.
There will be some openings from
last season that will need to be filled
and points made up for the losses of
state qualifiers Haley Houser (shot
put, discus) and Devan Montgomery
(3200 relay). But head coach Eric
Benedict said some of the incoming
freshmen are ready to contribute.
I am excited about how all the
new talent will mesh with the return-
ing athletes. We have great senior
leadership and great coaches to hope-
fully repeat as Badger South Confer-
ence champs, he said.
Junior Nikki Staffen is back after
taking 20th in the 1600 at state. She
won the event at sectionals and also
took sixth in the 800. Senior Hannah
Sonsalla also qualified for state last
season, taking 14th in the 300 low
hurdles preliminaries.
Sonsalla also nearly helped the
800 relay of sophomore Maren Gryt-
tenholm, junior Jordyn Weum and
junior Kezia Miller make state, just
missing the cut with a fourth-place
finish at sectionals. Sonsalla also
took seventh in the 200-meter dash at
sectionals.
Junior Hannah Posick is also back
after making state in the pole vault
last season. Posick finished tied for
13th after taking second at sectionals.
Senior Maren Schultz earned a trip
to state in the high jump in 2013 after
a first-place at sectionals. Schultz
also nearly helped the 1600 relay
qualify with graduate Josie Logan,
Montgomery and Weum, taking
fourth at sectionals.
The Vikings will miss Houser who
won the shot put and took third in
the discus at sectionals. But junior
Alexus Crockett remains after quali-
fying for state in the shot put with
a third-place finish at sectionals.
Crockett finished 19th at state.
The other state qualifier was the
3200 relay, and the only one gone
is Montgomery. Seniors Katherine
Rude and Ashley Harnack and junior
Katie Roe are all back from the team
that took second at sectionals and
23rd at state.
Junior Alex Deutsch is also back
after taking fourth in the 100 hur-
dles and eighth in the 300 hurdles at
sectionals. Senior Mykala Conroy,
junior Savanna Smith, junior Allie
Niemeyer, junior Ila Giese, junior
Jenna Gardner and sophomore Shel-
by Orcutt also return from last sea-
son.
Sophomore newcomer Haven Pol-
ich and freshmen newcomers Aly
Weum, Mya Lonnebotn, Payton
Kahl, Selena Schultz, Isabel Den-
nis, Corinne Olson, Marissa Rob-
son, Kendra Halverson, Clea Roe,
Augustyna Brestar, Tony Crawford,
Kylie Lynch and Kennedy Silbaugh
are also expected to compete for
spots this season.
Conference preview
Stoughton returns three-fourths of
its 1600 and 3200 relays that both
placed at conference last season, as
Fergus leads
young group
on the course
ANTHONY IOZZO
The Stoughton High School
boys golf team made the state
t o u r n a -
ment l ast
season with
the help of
Marquet t e
golfer Henry
Klongland,
who tied for
second place
as an indi-
vidual for
the second straight year.
But with Klongland
and graduates Anders
Tiffany, Kip Nielsen
and Peter Campbell,
the Vikings will field a
much younger team in
2014.
Senior Max Fer-
gus, who finished
tied for 38th at
state, is the only
r et ur ner , and
head coach Dave
Taebel said he will
need to be a leader as the team
grows.
But Taebel also said there is
a lot of talent on the Vikings.
It will just a matter of who
will take advantage of the
opportunity.
I think we will have some
inconsistencies as these young
kids adjust to the higher level
of competition, but so far
I am really impressed with
how so many of our kids have

Majority of top performers return for Vikings
ANTHONY IOZZO
The Stough-
t o n H i g h
S c h o o l b o y s
t r a c k a nd f i e l d
team is getting back
three of its four runners
from the state-qualifying
4x800 relay this season and
several other top perform-
ers from last year.
Seni or s Luke Logan
and Santiago Sarthou and
junior John McCune all
r et ur n f r om t he 4x800
team.
The Vikings will need to
replace graduate Jacob Roe
from the team that finished
the state race in 8 min-
utes, 39.29 seconds. That
spot will most likely go to
junior Giles France, who
went to state as an alternate
in the 4x800.
The Vi ki ngs al so get
the entire sectional-qual-
ifying 4x400 relay back
- senior Will Clark, junior
Derek Schultz, Logan and
McCune whi ch t ook
sixth last year with a time
of 3:34.13.
Logan, who head coach
Nat e Nel son cal l s Mr.
Versatile, also returns to
improve upon his sectional
berths in the high jump and
the pole vault. Logan took
fourth in the pole vault at
sectionals last year (12-6)
and was fifth in the high
jump (5-10).
Logan qualified for state
in both the high jump and
the 4x400 relay in 2012.
McCune, who Nel son
said is a solid middle dis-
tance runner, also ran in
the 800-meter run at sec-
tionals last year and fin-
ished fifth in 2:02.04.
We are returning many
of our top performers from
2013, many of whom have
excellent shots of making
sectionals, if not state,
Nelson said.
St ought on wi l l be a
bit younger this season,
which means many of the
newcomers have to learn
quickly in a tough Bad-
ger South Conference that
features Monroe, Oregon,
Fort Atkinson and Monona
Grove all of whom Nel-
son expects to have lots of
talent in races and the field.
Nelson noted one new-
comer junior Bradley
Graffin will add depth
to both the high jump and
the horizontal jumps this
season. For the incoming
freshman and transfer stu-
dents, it will be a baptism
by fire, Nelson said.
Jal en Cl ark i s anot h-
er st at e qual i f i er t hat
the Vikings will need to
replace. Clark won section-
als with a 11.32-second run
in the 100, and he followed
that up with an 11.87-sec-
ond run at state (17th).
Conference preview
The Badger South is once
again going to be tough
this season. The Vikings
did not have an individual
conference champion in
2013, but they did have
plenty of top-8 finishes that
propelled them into fourth
overall with 87 1/2 points,
just 5 1/2 behind Milton.
In t he 100, Cl ark, ho
took second, is gone, while
Fort Atkinson senior James
Nachtigal returns to defend

The anticipation of full-on spring bloom can be very
exciting, but painful at the same time. The ebb of win-
ters snow within the last 2 weeks has been replaced
with a peek-a-boo of seasonal grasses and bulbs. As we
patiently wait for the April showers to bring May flow-
ers, many of us are daydreaming of potential improve-
ments within our backyard. When that time does arrive,
Moyers can assist in making that dream a reality.
Founded in 1986, by Dave Moyer, Moyers Land-
scape Services & Hometown Nurseries, Inc., is now
located on a former dairy and tobacco farm, and has
been proudly serving Stoughton and surrounding com-
munities since 1990. The second generation of fam-
ily ownership is continuing with Jeff (a graduate of
Stoughton High School) and Emily Moyer. The father/
son team both hold B.S. in Ornamental Horticulture
and as Jeff Moyer states, Nearly all management,
sales and our professional foremen / technical staff
members have national certification in ICPI (Interlock-
ing Concrete Pavement Institute), NCMA (National
Concrete Masonry Association), and other Horticul-
tural Related Accreditations.
Moyers is truly a one stop shop for the maintenance
and beautification of your yard and landscape. They
have hundreds of varieties of shrubs and trees to a wide
selection of pavers and stones to build an outdoor patio
or serene waterfall. The Moyers staff know what plants
will thrive in the harsh elements of the Wisconsin cli-
mate too. As you peruse the grounds, the staff will be
right there to answer possible questions about types
of plants, mulches and hardscape you are interested in
using at your home. Moyers Inc. employs 26 of the
best Full Time Green Industry Staff in the Madison Mar-
ket with Landscape Designers: Kevin Smits (WMA -
2013 Landscape Designer of Year), Matt Hanna - (Both
2009 UW-Madison Graduates of Landscape Architec-
ture), new addition Designer: Brit Morrison (2014 Iowa
State University Graduate in Landscape Architecture),
Jeff Moyer proudly exclaims. In our Retail Nursery,
Garden Center and Landscape Supply, folks can rely
on the educational and professional support of experi-
enced staff of Kyle McCarville (2011 UW-River Falls
Graduate in Horticulture, Certified APA Member, Cer-
tified Turfgrass Specialist) & Jeff Wood, our Nursery
and Landscape Supply Operations Manager with over
10 years of Green Industry Supply Experience.
There continues to be an emphasis on outdoor hard-
scapes, or patios that double as kitchens or gathering
places. Many people are investing money back in
their homes, Jeff Moyer states. Homeowners often
ask the Moyers staff, were not traveling as much
now, so what can we do to make our home a vaca-
tion spot? The process of making that backyard a
vacation wonderland is not that difficult to realize.
After deciding on the types of materials you prefer,
our experienced design staff will create a professional
two or three dimensional plan for you. We also prepare
a detailed proposal estimate, broken into convenient
phases for your reference. Moyer explains. Then after
final approval, our professional, experienced crews start
your project to make your dreams finally a reality!
The hard work and dedication of the Moyers staff
and company as a whole has indeed paid off. Along
with Kevin Smits winning Landscape Designer of the
year for the 2013 Wisconsin Masonry Alliance awards
ceremony held in February, Moyers Inc. was crowned
several Team Accredited Project Awards such as Gold
in Best Residential Frontal Entry, Bronze in Best Resi-
dential Frontal Entry, & Bronze in Best Outdoor Living
Space. Each award was granted to three individual proj-
ects in the Stoughton Area. Moyers Inc. also received
three prestigious awards at the Landscape Industrys
World Class Awards held in Rolling Meadows, Ill.,
among Industry Professionals from WI, IL, IA, MN
and IN. Moyers Inc. walked away with Honorable
Mention Finalist Awards for Best in Class Paver
Driveway & Best In Class Segmented Retain-
ing Wall for Versa Lok as well as earning the top
Crystal Award for being named the 2013 Segment-
ed Retaining Wall Versa Lok Product Champi-
on for creative, sustainable use and application of
quality retaining wall installation and design.
The Moyers Inc. family knows that none of this
would be possible without
the clients and the commu-
nity. Jeff Moyer gracious-
ly explains, All of these
awards are possible due to the
thoughtful, caring and profes-
sional approach of every team
member at Moyers Inc. from
the management, to design
and sales, to the quality mind-
ed technical installation staff,
and of course only possible
from our greatly appreciated
clientele! We embrace our
devotion to quality through
value and service while seek-
ing to improve the quality of
life for our team, clientele
and community.

Five starters back in 2014
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Be t we e n i n c l e me n t
weather keeping her team
off the diamond and inju-
ries, first-year head
coach Kristin Siget
is learning on the
fly for the Stougthon
softball team this
year.
S o p h o m o r e
infielder Holly Brick-
son returns after a second-
team Badger South all-con-
ference selection.
Brickson is one of five
returning starters for the
team but begins the season
on the shelf with an arm
injury. The time table for
her return is still uncertain
Sophomore out fi el der
Samantha Tepp and junior
pitcher and first baseman
Sarah Seaton are back after
being selected honorable
mention honorees.
Meanwhile, sophomore
Liz Auby returns behind the
plate after being called up
to varsity a year ago, while
senior Cassie Adams is this
years captain.
The season i s l ook-
ing great with our start-
ing pitcher returning to the
mound and a great class of
sophomores stepping up on
varsity, Siget said. We
will have a good combina-
tion of speed and power in
the lineup this season.
Gone from last year are
second-t eam sel ect i ons
Emily Auby and utility
player Casey Beck-
with.
Of several new-
comers expected
t o st ep up and
contribute right
away coul d be
freshman Morgan
Neuenfeld, who Siget said
brings great speed and
power to the lineup, and is
expected to also be a key
starter.
Stoughton (6-6) finished
fourth overall within the
conference last season with
a .500 record.
The Vikings, however,
didnt win a game outside
of the Badger South, going
6-10 on the year.
Monroe went 12-0 to win
the conference and should
once again also be in the
mix, though the Cheese-
makers need to fill the void
of Becca Armstrong, who
won 24 games in the circle.
The team returns sev-
eral very talented seniors,
including first team all-
conference catcher Chandra
McGuire, infielders Kayla
Updike and Ellie Gros-
sen and outfielder Taylor
OLeksy. Seni or ut i l i t y
player Kirstin Vetterli and
Katie Holmes were also
named to the all-conference
team.
Fort Atkinson (9-3) fin-
ished second in the confer-
ence a year ago and look
to be among the favorites
again this season.
The Bl ackhawks wi l l
need to replace the confer-
ences RBI leader in util-
ity player Lauren Pfeifer,
catcher Aly Garland and
pitcher Kaitlyn Hollman.
Senior outfielder Meghan
Lanza was a second-team
all-conference honoree a
year ago, while seniors
Bree Brandl, Alexa Blank
and junior Jesse Boos were
honorable mention selec-
tions.
Hol l man, Armst rong,
Garland and Pfeifer were
all unanimous first-team
selections.
Mi l t on fi ni shed t hi rd
within the Badger South a
year ago and should com-
pete atop the conference
again this season.
Junior Madeline McCue
(OF) and seni or Kayl a
Negus (utility player) led
the conference in hitting.

ond second-team pitchers

Vikings moving on after losing Kahl
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Stoughton boys tennis team advanced
an unprecedented four players to last
years WIAA Division 1 individual
state tournament.
Once inside the UW-Madison Nata-
torium, both the Vikings No. 1 tan-
dem of Bubba Shaffer and John Evans
and the No. 2 duo of Elijah Thunell
a n d T a n n e r Ka h l wo n a
match to advance through to
the round of 32.
Moved from No. 1 and 2
singles to form the Vikings
No. 2 doubles team, Kahl and
Thunell played to Stoughtons
first Badger South Confer-
ence title in a decade last
year.
One of f our mat ches
going on the second day of the tour-
nament, the finish helped Stoughton
come in a surprising second overall
(24 points) in the Badger South results
behind Madison Edgewood (41), who
picked up titles at No. 3 and 4 singles.
Northern Badger Waunakee scored
the most points, crowing champions at
No. 2 singles and 1 doubles.
While Kahl is the only returning state
qualifier from a year ago, not even he
will be back on the court this season
after blowing out his ACL for the sec-
ond time during a Stoughton basketball
practice.
With Kahl and Thunell moving to No.
2 doubles last season, Matthew Gharrity
stepped in at No. 1 singles for the con-
ference tournament. With Kahl now out
for the season, Gharrity figures to take
back the 1 singles position.
Who replaces the Vikings No. 1 dou-
bles team of Evans and Shaffer, who
ended up taking fourth after back-to-
back losses to Madison Edgewood and
top-seeded Sauk Prairie at conference,
remains to be seen.
Manny Calzada and Austin Scheel
outplayed their seed at conference,
moving up from sixth to third at No. 3
doubles.
Scheel is the Vikings
only returning starter on
the doubles side this sea-
son.
Sixth-seeded Gabe Row-
ley (4 singles) played to a
third-place finish at confer-
ence and is expected to move
up the ranks this season.
Sophomore Asher McMul l i n, Ike
Landers and Nathan Lawlor also return
with a lot of varsity experience.
Breckin Houser also saw some time
on varsity last season.
Oregon, which returns all of its sin-
gles lineup and welcomes back the con-
ferences No. 3 doubles champion team,
expects to once again battle defending
champion Madison Edgewood atop the
standings.
The Panthers also added a pair of tal-
ented freshman, who will be counted on
right away.
Edgewood is once again going to
be very good, Oregon head coach
Ben Conklin said. Every step we take
toward them they take another step
above. We certainly have a shot to beat
them, but its going to be tough.

Conference preview
Oregon, Madison Edge-

Max has embraced the
role as our team leader, and
it has been fun to see him

tional.
Senior Shaun Parisi and

Weum races
to second
school record
ANTHONY IOZZO
The competition at the W/
TFA State Indoor Champion-
ships at UW-Whitewaters
Kachel Field House is simi-
lar to what you might see a
few months from now at the
WIAA Division 1 state tour-
nament.
The meet
was so diffi-
cult that only
one Stough-
t o n Hi g h
School girls
t r a c k a n d
field athlete
scored points
last Saturday.
But that girl was freshman
Aly Weum, and those points
were from a third-place finish
in the 400, breaking her sec-
ond school record in as many
weeks with a time of 1 min-
ute, 0.33 seconds.
It was a really exciting
experience to run against
such tough competition and
be able to have the oppor-
tunity to get a good time
and get up on the podium,
Weum said in a phone inter-
view Tuesday. It took weeks
of practice to prepare myself
mentally and physically.
Weum broke the school
record in the 800 last week,
quickly making a name for
herself on a track team that
has 20 of 24 top-8 conference
finishers back from 2013.
She said she really didnt
expect the quick success, but
it is something she is working
toward.
My goal for the rest of the
year would be to maintain my
time and stay strong physi-
cal and mentally and keep
on doing my best always
giving 100 percent when I am

Vikings came from down five to defeat Madison Edgewood 6-5.
Vikings rally, take down Crusaders
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Stoughton softball fell victim to
early-season spring weather last
week, seeing two games postponed
before eventually throwing out the
first pitch against Madison Edgewood
on Tuesday.
Stoughton 6, Edgewood 5
Anxious to get outside for the sec-
ond week of the season, warm weath-
er over the weekend finally allowed
the Vikings to be in the sunshine
Tuesday evening against the visiting
Crusaders.
Having only little practiced outside
twice so far this season, Stoughton, as
expected, looked a little rusty in the
first inning.
The Vikings overcame three-first
inning errors Tuesday with a three-
run sixth inning to propel the hosts to
a 6-5 Badger South Conference vic-
tory over Madison Edgewood.
We fought hard and didnt give
up after a tough first inning, Kristin
Siget said.
Sammy Tepp started Stoughtons
rally with a lead-off single in the sixth
before being driven in by a Liz Auby
triple. Sarah Seaton followed with an
RBI single before a base knock by
Suzy Brickson proved to be the game-
winner.
Three errors and a couple of bloop-
ers put the Vikings behind 5-0 in the
first inning.
Stoughton began to chip away at
the lead slowly, though. Allie Moe
was hit by a pitch with the bases load-
ed to push a run across for the Vikings
in the home half of the first.
Cassie Adams drove in a second
run with an RBI single in the fifth
before the Viking bats finally woke
up in the sixth inning.
Senior Sarah Seaton went the dis-
tance in the circle, allowing five hits
and striking out four. She walked one
and hit another. None of the Crusad-
ers runs were earned.
Stoughton continues its season 5
p.m. Thursday at home against Mount
Horeb in a Badger Conference cross-
over game. The team then travels to
Adams/Friendship for a varsity invi-
tational on Saturday, beginning at 3
p.m.
Stoughton, Fort Atk. (PPD.)
The Vikings saw their season debut
at Badger South foe Fort Atkinson
postponed twice last week.
Originally, scheduled for Thursday
inclement weather pushed the game
to Monday where it was eventually
canceled once again. The Vikings had
not announced a second reschedule
date as the Courier Hub went to press
on Tuesday evening.
Stoughton , McFarland (PPD.)
Weather also saw Stoughton post-
pone Fridays game against McFar-
land. That game has been rescheduled
for 5 p.m. Monday, April 14 followed
by the Badger South rival Panthers in
Oregon the following evening.
Vikes knock off Crusaders at Duck Pond
ANTHONY IOZZO
It was a battle of ranked
teams Tuesday at the Duck
Pond of Warner Park with Bad-
ger South rivals Stoughton and
Madison Edgewood.
The Vikings, ranked eighth
in the Division 1 Wisconsin
Baseball Coaches Association
poll, defeated Division 2 No. 4
Madison Edgewood, 9-6.
Head coach Jeremy Dunni-
hoo could not be reached for
comment or full stats before the
Courier Hubs Tuesday night
deadline.
The offensive output was led
by senior first baseman Braden
Poirer who had a home run and
a 3-run double.
Poirers home run was a solo
shot in the second, and he hit a
bases-clearing double in a six-
run fourth inning.
Edgewood came back with
four runs in the bottom of the
fourth on a couple of passed
balls and an RBI double by
Aaron Mack.
Junior Cade Bunnell (2-for-3)
was the other leading hitter.
Senior pitcher PJ Rosowski
went four innings and allowed
three earned runs on six hits.
He struck out seven and walked
two.
Senior Josh Eugster pitched
t wo scorel ess i nni ngs and
struck out one. Chris Lund went
an inning and allowed a hit. He
struck out three and walked
one.
Edgewoods Jake Drake took
up the loss. He allowed two
earned runs on two hits in three
innings. He walked six and
struck out two.
Stoughton travels to Mount
Horeb at 5 p.m. Thursday and
hosts a doubleheader against
Reedsburg at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Stoughton finishes the week
by hosting Oregon at 5 p.m.
Tuesday.
Stoughton 9, Memorial 0
The Vikings crushed Madi-
son Memorial in the season
opener Saturday at Mansfield
Stadium 9-0.
Results were unavailable at
the Courier Hubs deadline.

Girls soccer
Vikings drop opener
ANTHONY IOZZO
The Stoughton High School girls soccer
team had a tough season opener Tuesday at
non-conference Sun Prairie, falling 4-0.
Head coach Dave Wermuth said that
despite the Vikings only having two outside
practices, the girls stepped up and tried to
fight. Sun Prairie, on the other hand, already
had a game to get rid of some of the rust.
Cardinals forward Christa Scott scored
twice, while forward Hannah Zacher added
a second.
Sophomore goalie Hannah Wood had
11 saves for Stoughton, who Wermuth said
proved herself in net. Sun Prairies Grace
Daehling had two saves.
The Vikings host Milton at 7 p.m. Thurs-
day and travel to the Belleville invite at 9
a.m. Saturday. Stoughton finishes the week
at 7 p.m. Tuesday at DeForest.

Its $3 more. Yep, he was shocked.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
LEFT PETE STICKER SHOCKED
Just three bucks more. Thats all it cost for Pete
to power up part of his home with a block of renewable
energyclean, afordable, never running out power from
natural resources like wind, solar and biogas. It was an easy
decision. After all, using renewable energy can keep a lot of
destructive carbon dioxide emissions out of the air. Using
just one $3 block each month is like not driving your car for
six.* And it only takes two or three blocks to run the average
home every month. It adds up to a smaller carbon footprint
for Pete, and a greener world for Petes kidsand his kids
kids. All for an extra $3. Just the kind of family legacy Pete
was looking for.

$3,250 to the budget.
(Shes) doing an excellent
job of attracting students, he
said. This gives her more
flexibility to work more
hours and in the summer,
work with employers, help
them starting on right path
interview skills.
To alleviate some issues
with River Bluff Middle
School math teachers also
having to teach one section
of reading, Onsager proposed
adding a temporary, one-year
position that would work half
the time at the middle school
and the other half at the high
school, at a cost of $65,000.
He said the move is an
attempt to be proactive about
students entering ninth grade
who are not ready for regular
algebra classes, which he said
number around 55 this year.
This can help them catch
up with the math class and
provide a foundation of skills
so they can be successful
transitioning to regular alge-
bra in ninth grade, he said.
A reading teacher at River
Bluff would also be added to
improve reading skills, and
free up math teachers to teach
math.
The largest addition would
be hiring two full-time inter-
preters for two Sandhill
elementary students with
significant hearing impair-
ment who will attend school
in the fall. The cost would be
$120,000.
Recommended cuts
A total of 6.6 staff positions
are up for cutting, and Onsag-
er listed declining enrollment
as a reason for the recom-
mendations. That includes
leaving open a vacant kin-
dergarten teacher position at
Kegonsa Elementary School
(at a savings of $65,000), as
well as a vacant high school
business education teacher
position ($39,000 savings).
A district educational assis-
tant ($35,000 savings), a
high school special education
teacher ($65,000 savings), a
half-time high school social
studies teacher ($32,500 sav-
ings), a half-time high school
English teacher ($32,500
savings), a River Bluff
eighth-grade English teach-
er ($65,000 savings) and
Kegonsa first-grade teacher
($65,000 savings) would all
be cut.
Onsager said three elemen-
tary school teachers are set to
retire at the end of the year.
Board member Joe Freye
said he was concerned about
the loss of a kindergarten
teacher at Kegonsa, and a
possible increase in class-
room sizes. Onsager said
compared to other districts,
Stoughton K-8 classes are
smaller or similar-sized, and
that the proposed changes
shouldnt greatly affect class
sizes.
I would love to have class
sizes at 15 for every elemen-
tary school, he said, noting
that educational assistants
could be shifted if needed.
(But) if we make the case
for adding at Kegonsa, we
should make the case for add-
ing at Fox and Sandhill (ele-
mentary schools). Even with
the referendum passed, were
not flush with cash. Over the
next four years, were still
going to take a hard look at
everything we do. We cant
go back to this community in
another four years and ask for
another referendum. Theyve
given us their support and
theyre confident that its
going to work.
Words of thanks
Onsager thanked the com-
munity, staff and the board
for the referendum support.
I want to thank our stu-
dents for making us proud
to be Vikings, whether its
in the classroom, on the
playing field or in the con-
cert hall, he said. Togeth-
er weve accomplished a
great deal and well need to
work together to continue
that work to keep Stough-
ton vibrant. Our community
has done its part they have
really stepped up for us. And
now its time to continue for
us to do our work and step up
and make this district even
greater.
Board member Pat Volk
thanked Onsager and his staff
for getting out in the commu-
nity to talk to voters during
the past several months.
Our communi t y j ust
scored a huge touchdown
and now its up to us and you
and your staff to make sure
we shepherd these dollars as
responsibly as we can.

We, the city of Stoughton, the Stoughton Area School District, Stoughton Hospital, the local Sheriffs offce, and
the Stoughton Police Department, offcially announce our partnership with the StoughtonCARES community
coalition in support of the 2014 Parents Who Host Lose the Most campaign to reduce underage access to
alcohol. This initiative, with similar campaigns all over Wisconsin and the nation, is being organized locally by the
StoughtonCARES coalition, which is working to address local underage drinking concerns.
We support the following basic tenets of Parents Who Host Lose the Most: Dont Be a Party to Teenage Drinking:
Adults who provide alcohol to those below the legal drinking age of 21 are placing those youth at risk for health,
safety and legal problems.
Alcohol use by young people is dangerous, not only because of the risks associated with acute impairment, but
also because of the serious threat to their long-term development and well-being.
It is illegal to give or allow your teens friends to drink alcohol in your home, even with their parents permission.
Anyone found guilty of purchasing or providing alcohol to any youth other than your offspring or legal ward is
subject to both state and local sanctions, in addition to any civil action that may occur as a result of damages or
injury related to the offense.
Adults have the authority and responsibility to our youth to provide them with alternative opportunities by
creating alcohol-free activities.
THEREFORE, we not only discourage the use of alcohol by those below the legal age of consumption, but also
encourage all residents of Stoughton to refuse to provide alcoholic beverages to underage youth. We pledge to
support law enforcement efforts to identify and eliminate this illegal and unhealthy activity.

No experience is necessary
and you dont have to be a
Harry Potter fan, explained
Dan Glynn, who brought the
idea to Stoughton after see-
ing it played in Waukesha
last summer.
It should be a good alter-
native program for children
in non-traditional sports as
we are not looking for it to
be competitive in nature,
Glynn told the Hub.
Gameplay will be similar
to whats written in Rowl-
ings series of books - though
most participants likely
wont be flying on brooms.
Glynn said rules used by
the International Quidditch
Association a nonprofit
association dedicated to get-
ting people involved with
the game would be used
for games in Stoughton. The
associations guidelines for
middle-school aged kids
calls for an oval-shaped pitch
approximately 18 yards wide
by 45 yards long. Three
hoops in which players
known as chasers try to score
a quaffle or ball are 27
yards apart in the field.
According to the IQA:
Beaters use dodgeballs
called bludgers to disrupt the
flow of the game by 'knock-
ing out' other players, the
rules state. Each team also
has a seeker who tries to
catch the snitch. The snitch
is a ball attached to the waist-
band of the snitch runner,
a neutral athlete in a yellow
uniform who uses any means
to avoid capture.
While adult quidditch
leagues played throughout
the United States and inter-
nationally can be physical,
rules are adapted to make
sure middle school students
avoid contact with each
other. Players can attempt to
steal the ball from each other,
but only by touching the ball,
according to the IQA.
Mi ddl e school pl ay-
ers may not stiff arm, push,
charge, grab, wrap, or tackle
another player, the rules
state.
Glynn said a few partici-
pants have already signed
up, but expected more to join
in closer to when the league
starts.
The first few weeks will
be spent learning how to play
the game. New teams will be
formed every week so there
wont be an overabundance
of competiveness, as if the
House of Gryffindor were to
play Slytherin every week.
The program is $35 for
Stoughton residents and $40
for nonresidents. All equip-
ment will be provided and
kids will get a T-shirt. Only
20 or so kids will be allowed
to participate the first year,
Glynn said, in order to gauge
the interest in the program.

up, visit cityofstoughton.

Tweens in Stoughton will
have a chance to play quid-
ditch this summer through
the Stoughton Parks and
Recreation Department.
Players will try to score by
throwing balls through hoops
at each end of the field, while
another player from each
team tries to track down the
snitch. The first team to
catch the snitch is awarded
30 points and match is over,
whereas a ball through the
hoop only earns 10 points.
