Linda Kunz was selected as the Citizen of the Year by the Stoughton Courier Hub. Kunz volunteers countless hours as a musician, including work with
the Stoughton Village Players and as an accompanist for solo and ensemble performances by students.

In tune with the community

Musician Kunz named Hubs Citizen of the Year
Unified Newspaper Group

If each of the 88 keys on

a piano were some type of
community musical outlet, it
seems Linda Kunz would have
hit all the notes.
Kunz, a Stoughton resident
since 1981, has volunteered
for more than 20 years as an
accompanist for students in
the school district music programs, started the Stoughton
Festival Choir and led countless community-based musical
programs.
Thats a big part of the reason the Stoughton Courier
Hub selected her as this years
Citizen of the Year. The annual award recognizes people
who make important contributions to the community.
And while Kunz might not
be a household name, she
managed to inspire several
people representing a variety
of nonprofit interests to advocate for her selection an
important factor in our selection process. The Hub heard
from a past student, church

Ive played in just

about every church.
Ive played at every
school.
Linda Kunz
Stoughton Courier Hub
Citizen of the Year

and community music program directors and a local theater group all urging support
for Kunzs recognition.
Indeed, along with her wideranging influence, its hard to
find a place in the community
where Kunz hasnt donated
her musical talents.
Ive played in just about
every church, Kunz said.
Ive played at every school.
While much of her musical experience comes as a
keyboardist, Kunz also leads
choirs, sings hymns and works
with the Stoughton Village
Players on musical performances.
And her own drive to be

Courier Hub

involved with so many different aspects of the music community in Stoughton has led her
to get others involved. Shes
drawn to the task of finding
people that have an interest,
and maybe dont really have
an outlet, she said. She spent
her first few years in Stoughton
looking for her own outlet, substituting as a musician at different churches.
Now she takes people under
her wing.
Lets get you plugged in
here or there and well get you
involved somewhere, Kunz
said.

Music in schools
Of all the musical events
shes been part of, Kunz said
working with students as part
of their solo and ensemble performances is one of the most
rewarding.
For more than two decades,
Kunz has offered her talent as
an accompanist to students in
Stoughton, and more recently,
McFarland.

Author Kathleen Ernst signs copies of her books after speaking at the Sons of Norway-Mandt Lodge in mid-January. Ernst is the author of
the Chloe Ellefson mystery series.

Author visits Sons of Norway

Mystery series has many Norwegian ties

Stoughton roots
Ernst has about 30 books
published, but the Ellefson series was a project
she took on to make herself happy, Ernst told the
crowd of about 50 people.
Ernst worked as a curator
at Old World Wisconsin
in the 1980s and said she
missed the place after she
had moved on to another
career with Wisconsin Public Television.
I would be writing about
a place that was very special to me, Ernst said.
Ellefson is a curator at
Old World Wisconsin, like
Ernst had been. One of
Ernsts favorite buildings
at the historic site in Eagle,
Wis., is an old Norwegian
farm. Ernst wanted the
character Ellefson to have
a personal connection to

that site, so she made her a
native of Stoughton because
of the rich Norwegian traditions in the community.
Chloe was born and
raised in Stoughton, Ernst
said. She is of pure Norwegian descent.
Ernst said Ellefson would
have been very involved
in Syttende Mai and folk
dancing, because her family like most Norwegians
celebrates its ancestry
and traditions.
That will always be
an important part of who
Chloe is, Ernst said.
Ellefson is joined by a
police officer from Eagle,
and the pair find themselves
in the midst of mysteries
throughout the Midwest.

Historic settings
Given Ernsts background as a historical curator, many artifacts and historic sites play a significant
role in the mystery series.
For example, a historic
Norwegian ale bowl goes
missing in the first novel.
In another book, a lefse
rolling pin is part of the
mystery when Ellefson visits the Vesterheim Norwegian Heritage Museum in
Decorah, Iowa.
The local ties will continue to appear, as Ernst
said she was very close to
finishing her sixth book in
the series.
I mention that one of
the characters in the next
book is the treasurer of
the Sons of Norway Lodge
in Stoughton, Ernst said,
eliciting a chuckle from the
audience.
Other novels take place
on Rock Island in Door
County, Minneapolis and
Milwaukee.

the book series can be

Chloe Ellefson isnt a

real person, but her Stoughton roots are based in reality.
The fictional historical
curator with a knack for
solving murder mysteries was born and raised
in Stoughton, and thats
where author Kathleen
Ernst found herself giving
a talk in mid-January.
Ernst, who spent 12
years working as a historical curator herself, shared
information about her writing and the Norwegian connections in her Chloe Ellefson mystery series. The
books are described as traditional mysteries written for adults and mature
teens, but dont feature
explicit sex, violence and
gore.
Ernsts talk on Jan. 15
focused on Chloes fictional Stoughton roots, including Ellefsons mothers
interest in Rosemaling, the
Norwegian buildings and
artifacts at Old World Wisconsin and the classes and
history of the Vesterheim
Norwegian Heritage Museum.

A former temporary
Stoughton High School
teacher and sports coach
was sentenced last week
to six months in jail and
two years probation for
sending online photos of
his genitals to former students.
Brandon Amato, 24, of
Madison, was sentenced
in Dane County Circuit
Court on
Jan. 20.
According
to online
c o u r t
records,
he pleaded
guilty to
e x p o s i n g Amato
his genitals/pubic
area/intimate parts to a
child, a felony, as well as
two misdemeanor counts
of lewd, lascivious behavior exposure. Another
felony count of exposing
genitals/pubic area/intimate parts to a child was
dismissed on a prosecutors motion. As part of
the plea agreement, the
felony charge could be
removed from his record
if probation is completed.
Amato will have Huber
work-release privileges
during his jail term and
will be on probation for

two years, during which

time Dane County Circuit
Judge William Hanrahan
ordered him not to have
any sort of contact with
the students involved
in the case, or unsupervised minors. During that
time, Amato is forbidden
to have access to pornographic material or to use
the Internet for purposes
of social media activity.
Amato worked as a oneyear temporary teacher
and coach for the Stoughton Area School District
from Aug. 28, 2013 to
June 10, 2014, teaching
high school social studies
and serving as a freshman
football coach, eighthgrade boys basketball
coach and assistant boys
tennis coach.
According to the criminal complaint, on June 29
and Aug. 2 of 2014, after
he had left the district,
Amato sent photos of his
genitals to a 16-year-old
and 17-year-old former
student on Snapchat, a
photo messaging app that
limits how long recipients
can view photos or videos
sent (generally a matter of
seconds), after which they
are hidden from the recipient.
He was hired last July
by the Oregon School
District to be the assistant
girls tennis coach, and had
worked with the team for
a few weeks before officials there learned of a
criminal investigation and
terminated his contract.

Stoughton December History

1964 50 years ago
School board members voted
6-1 to proceed with plans for a
new high school. The vote came
on a motion by Fred Weber to
recognize the need for additional
facilities, and was made after he
had presented some startling data
comparing the Stoughton facilities with those of other Badger
Conference schools. If advancement in planning continues, it is
expected that another referendum
will he held in conjunction with
the April election.
Stoughtons Ken Kingery,
base adjutant at Truax Field when
he was stricken by polio in 1952,
returned to the base for a tour of
the facilities along with members of the Stoughton Optimist
Club. Though almost completely
paralyzed, Kingery is a freelance
writer and is very active in civic
affairs in the Stoughton area. He
served in the China-Burma-India
theater during World War II and
later joined the Wisconsin Air
National Guard, and was assigned
to Truax Field.
After a lengthy and spirited
discussion, the Stoughton City
Council deleted from the proposed 1965 budget the annual
$5,000 donation to Stough ton Hospital. The money was
removed from the hospital and
assigned to the street department
to purchase a sewer-cleaning
machine that has been sought for
several years. Proposed expenditures for the 1965 budget were
$518,766.80.
Mrs. Halvors fifth-grade
class at Yahara Elementary
School made old-fashioned decorations for the class Christmas
tree.

1984 30 years ago

The Town of Dunn board
agreed to reduce the towns landfill on County B from 40 acres to
20 acres and to permanently close
the site in July 1999. The agreement with the Department of Natural Resources, which regulates
landfills in the state, was viewed
as a substantial money-saver for
the town.
The total mill rate increase
for a Stoughton property taxpayer will be about 7 percent,
according to figures released this
week. The 7 percent net hike will
mean the Stoughton property taxpayer owning a home assessed
at $50,000 will pay about $50
more than the $1,252 paid last
year. Last year, the average tax
bill jumped 16 percent or about
$180 for property taxpayers with
a $50,000-assessed home.
Steve and Ellie Schmidt of

Oregon are the new owners of

Cee-Jays Liquor and Cheese,
located on Hwy. 51, just east of
Stoughton. The new name for the
business will be Cee-Jays Country Keg.
Stoughton Area School Board
member Norman C. Toso was
found guilty of disorderly conduct in Stoughton Municipal
Court last week for kicking a
5-year-old boy earlier this month.
According to police reports, the
incident took place about noon on
Nov. 6 while Toso was accompanying his grandson to the bus stop
at the Stoughton Day Care, 420
S. Page St. Another boy apparently was teasing the younger
Toso when Mr. Toso grabbed
him by the arm and kicked him
in the right thigh. Toso, a former
city councilman, was elected to
the Stoughton School Board is
1980, then lost a re-election bid
in 1983 before winning a spot on
the panel in April 1984.
The body of Michael Cleven, 22, who drowned Monday
in a pond just a short distance
from his home north of Lake
Kegonsa, was found by a Dane
County Sheriffs Department
diver Tuesday morning. Cleven,
of 2820 Lakewood Circle, just
off Door Creek Road, was apparently scuba diving alone in the
pond, which is located at Finches
Long View Acres, according to
the sheriffs department. Cleven
recently received certification for
ice diving.
After more than 70 years, the
southeast corner at West Main
and Water streets will no longer be the home of Thompson
Plumbing. But the retirement
of Art and Audrey Thompson
and the closing of the downtown business wont mean the
demise of Thompson Plumbing
in Stoughton. Beginning the first
of the year, Art and Audrey will
turn over the business to their
son, David, who will now work
out of him home in Stoughton.

1989 25 years ago

The city is starting to think
longer and harder about recycling. Members of the citys
public works committee met
with Joe Steltenkamp of Valley
Sanitation Nov. 30 to get the ball
rolling on meeting requirements
when stricter county-wide mandatory recycling goes into effect
in 1991. Newsprint recycling has
been mandatory since the beginning of 1987, and yard waste has
been banned since the start of this
year. Thirteen months from now,
the list of items banned from
county landfills will expand significantly.

A controversial proposal to
help the Department of Natural
Resources purchase property for
a turnabout areas at the Quam
Drive boat landing met with
the approval of the Dunn Town
Board Tuesday night. The board
voted to spend $8,000 from the
parkland dedication fund toward
the purchase of two lots owned
by Dick and Bill Amundson adjacent to the landing. The land will
be deeded to the township, which
will be responsible for its maintenance, but the DNR will foot the
bill for improvements.
Jim Fricke, midway through
his final year as superintendent
of the Stoughton Area School
District, has been chosen superintendent of the year for Wisconsin. He was nominated by district administrators for the award
this past fall. The Yahara River
between Stoughton and the Rock
River may benefit from a proposal by a Rock County legislator.
State Sen. Timothy Weeden of
Beloit has introduced a bill that
would include that section of the
Yahara in the states scenic urban
waterways program. Rivers so
designated are eligible for state
assistance to improve property.

2004 10 years ago

The Stoughton City Council
last week unanimously approved
a city budget which calls for a
slight reduction in the mill rate,
from 7.18 this year to 7.14 in
2005. Under the new mill rate,
a homeowner whose property
is assessed at the same value in
2005 as it was in 2004 will realize a slight decrease in their property taxes. Year 2005 general
fund expenditures total approximately $9.4 million, up from $8.9
million in 2004, an increase of
around 5.79 percent.
The Stoughton Board of Education on Monday voted to hold a
referendum on Feb. 15 to exceed
state-imposed revenue caps by
a total of $4.07 million over the
next four years. The referendum
calls for surpassing the revenue
limits by the following amounts
through 2008-09: $1.42 million
for 2005-06; $2.42 million for
2006-07; $3.27 million for 200708 and $4.07 million for 200809. The non-recurring status of
the referendum means the board
would most likely have to come
back for an additional referendum to cover expected deficits in
2009-10 and beyond, since voter
approval for surpassing the cap

A class of Kengonsa Elementary School fourth-graders recently put on a wax museum, which consisted of them researching a subject and dressing up
like them. Visitors could then visit the museum and
press the button to hear information about that
person. Kids researched their subject before dressing up and recreating the person.

prepared our students for what

comes after high school college and careers.
According to a press release
from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction,
one troubling statistic from
the NCES report is that while
most states increased graduation rates by one or more percentage points between the
2011-12 and 2012-13 school
years, Wisconsins was relatively flat. Referring to recent
cuts in school funding and
revenue authority in previous
state budgets, Evers called for
reinvesting in several critical
aid programs so we can ensure
prosperity for all our children,
our citizens and our future.
We cannot expect schools
to keep doing more with less,
he said.

When it comes to graduating

from high school, Wisconsins
students are still at the head of
the class, though the rest of the
nation seems to be catching up.
According to the National
Center for Education Statistics
(NCES), Wisconsins 88 percent graduation rate is tied for
second in the nation, trailing
only Iowa (90 percent), and is
seven percentage points above
the national average. State
Superintendent Tony Evers
said the numbers continue
Wisconsins strong history
of being among the top states
in the nation in graduation
rates.
Bravo for our students and
the educators in our public
schools who guide them on the
path to graduation, he said.

Live and Let Live

The great American philosopher and psychologist William James once remarked that
while people are pretty much the same the
world over, we all want and need the same
basic things, the small differences between
us are important, and make all the difference. Indeed, we all have our own unique
way of being in the world, or as James put it,
Different men find their minds more at home
in very different fragments of the world. For
instance, I would much rather spend Sunday
afternoon curled up with a book in a quiet
corner of my home, while many others might
prefer the noisy chaos of a football or basketball game amid a cheering crowd. The sooner
we realize that both of these activities, the
quiet reading alone and the noisy throng of the
sporting event, are acceptable diversions, the
better off we all are. We all have our own individual sense of what moves us and we should
do our best to let each person follow his or her
own spirit. God did not make us all the same,
but blessed each of us with our own unique
way of being in the world. So, we should
embrace our differences and the differences
of those around us. As our French friends say,
viva la difference! Christopher Simon via

Who are you to judge someone elses servant? To their own master, servants stand or
fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able
to make them stand.

Kunz: Musician has worked with students, churches and community groups
Continued from page 1
I really like working with
kids especially the ones that
are a little bit serious about
it, Kunz said.
Working together with the
students is a different task
than just learning the notes,
she said. Having the kids
learn to work with the accompanying music is a great way
for them to understand how
the piece is supposed to sound
beyond just hitting the right
notes at the right time.
Its a collaboration, Kunz
said. I love watching a kid
get the notes and then start to
understand the music.
Former Stoughton High
School choral director John
Beutel described Kunz as a
human dynamo who helped
accompany hundreds of students at the festival.
Perhaps the most important aspect of all of this is
the energy of her participation and the commitment to
serving others as a part of her
everyday life, added Beutel,
who led the effort to get Kunz
nominated for Citizen of the
Year.
Kunz said music has been
part of her everyday life since
she was a little girl.
She started out on piano
in kindergarten, eventually learning to play organ
through her piano teacher
who happened to be a church
organist, as well.
By the time I was in eighth
grade, I was playing for Sunday schools, Kunz said.
Soon out of high school, I
was playing for worship services.
She eventually started
teaching piano lessons, but

wanted to maintain that feeling of having to learn something new, just like her piano
students were doing. So, she
started learning cello.
When I was teaching piano, I found it was very, very
helpful for me to be learning something because you
would get this look from a
student where theyre like, I
know you dont get it, she
said. If I was experiencing
that difficult learning, beginning stages, I could recognize and empathize with that
look.

Music in the
community
Kunz has also played a role
in bringing music to the community beyond the school
walls.
She helped start the
Stoughton Festival Choir
about 20 years ago as a way
for people to share their musical talents.
Linda is the force that
keeps the festival choir
going, Beutel said. For all
practical purposes, Linda
now is the Stoughton Festival Choir. It quite simply
wouldnt exist without her.
In addition to the community choir, Kunz spent about
12 years working as the music
director at the Methodist
Church, then at Christ Lutheran Church after it was rebuilt
following the 2005 fire.
She started mostly as a substitute and temporary organist
in order to get her foot in the
door.
Theres always a need for
organists, Ive learned, Kunz
said with a chuckle. There
never seem to be enough of
them.

What others have to say

Linda Kunz is a human dynamo. There is hardly a part of
our community that she has not touched.
John Beutel, former SHS choral director
What (gifts) her warm presence and talented expertise were
to us as developing musicians. The Stoughton Community is
lucky to have her as a person who makes a difference in the
lives of so many people.
Kristin Burns, SHS graduate, 1994

Photo by Mark Ignatowski

Linda Kunz was selected as the Citizen of the Year by the Stoughton
Courier Hub. Kunz has played as an organist and pianist at several
local churches.

Kunz has led hymn sing-alongs for residents at Skaalen

Home, Nazareth House and
the Madison Area Rehabilitation Center in Stoughton for
close to 25 years. She started
out by playing music at the
worship services at Skaalen
and was asked to lead sings
by the activities director.
Word got out, and other facilities asked her to do the same.
In the past decade, shes
become more involved with
the Stoughton Village Players
theater group. Kunz started as
a piano sub for rehearsals, but
has grown to play at shows
and direct the pit orchestra.
Its a wonderful bunch of
people to work with, Kunz
said. The social aspect is
very important to the theater.
Some of those friendships are
bigger than the theater.

Different keyboards
Even Kunzs day job is
about community and giving
back.
Shes worked as an administrative assistant at the

Nurses Christian Fellowship

at Intervarsity Christian Fellowship in Madison for about
33 years. Her job includes
maintaining the groups
website, a task she took on
20 years ago at a time when
mainstream Internet usage
was just starting to pick up.
The main office had built
us, back in 1995, one static
web page, Kunz said.
Her office was told someone would have to maintain
and update the page, and she
was elected with no knowledge of how to do it.
I went and bought HTML
for Dummies and the rest is
sort of history, she said. I
pretty much taught myself.
She doesnt build a lot of
fancy sites, but works with
several small organizations to
maintain their web presence.
She handles online updates
and ticketing for the Stoughton Village Players.
I can start with a blank
page and end up with a web
site, Kunz said.
Since moving here in the

Each year, (Relay for Life) participants comment on the beauty of the music and I believe it is made more beautiful by the act
of the volunteer coordination: in large part, Lindas connections.
Amy Ketterer, Relay For Life chair
People like Linda Kunz are a rarity. Of all the times I
observed Linda working with students, I never saw her
get frustrated, upset or lose her patience with them. Linda
Kunz has done so much for the students and community of
Stoughton.
Michelle A. Kaebisch, director of education and community
engagement, Madison Symphony Orchestra
Linda has made a positive difference in our community in
a selfless and giving way. Her contributions are many, but are
sometimes behind the scenes as she never does it to bring
attention to herself. Linda is an extremely energetic contributor
to cultural events in Stoughton.
Brooke Hauser, president, Stoughton Village Players
1980s, Kunz has steadily
been leaving an impact on the
Stoughton community.
Shes a mother of three,
with adult children in Dane
and Rock counties. She
adopted her two oldest grandkids about 10 years ago, and
has other grandchildren in the
area.
My kids are all around
I get to see them and enjoy
them, Kunz said. They
have trouble keeping up with
my schedule.
Despite the busy schedule, Kunz does enjoy a little
free time gardening, sleeping
in and reading. But even the

free time involves sight reading through new music and

catching live performances in
Stoughton and Madison.
Theres not much down
time, she said with a laugh.
But by her account, shes
doing what she loves.
When I think about it, as
a kid, it was like, Well, what
Id like to do is be a secretary like my mom, because
I like administrative stuff and
organizing stuff, Kunz said.
And Id like to be a musician
and church organist ... and
Ive taught piano. Im doing
all of that. It just sort of happened.

Q. Most people are looking for a maintenance free exterior so I'm often asked which siding is the best?
A. There are a lot of maintenance free sidings offered these days, and other sidings that will go for years before

you have to do any maintenance to them. First, you have to determine what siding you like and what will look
appropriate for your style of home. These days we are usually seeing at least two different types of siding used on
most homes to get the look and feel people are looking for.
We all know that brick and stone are good for a lifetime other than maintaining the caulk every few years. Stucco
should be as maintenance free as stone and brick if it is installed properly. You can always put on vinyl or steel
siding that requires very little maintenance as well. For people that are looking for a wood look, we see a lot of
wood composite siding that usually has a 50 year warranty while the paint can have up to a 30 year warranty.
Cement siding is also a good alternative if you use a reputable company. Wood siding, we all know, looks beautiful
but requires a lot of maintenance. Essentially, the best siding is really a personal preference. For the look you are
trying to achieve.

Some commercial whitening toothpastes contain gentle chemicals or polishing agents

that provide additional stain removal. Whitening toothpastes help remove surface stains
only and do not contain bleach; over-the-counter and professional whitening products
contain hydrogen peroxide (a bleaching substance) that helps remove stains on tooth
surfaces as well as stains deep in the tooth.
No home-use whitening toothpastes come close to producing the bleaching effect
Thor J. Anderson, DDS you get from your dentists office through chair-side bleaching or power bleaching.
Whitening toothpastes can lighten your tooths color by about one shade. In contrast,
light-activated whitening conducted in your dentists office can make teeth three to eight shades lighter. Keep

Successful ways to stretch retirement savings

Many budding retirees
plan to travel, relax and
enjoy the company of their
spouses when they officially
stop working. But such plans
only are possible if men and
women take steps to secure
their financial futures in
retirement.
According to a recent survey by the personal finance
education site MoneyTips.
com, roughly one-third of
Baby Boomers have no
retirement plan. The reason
some may have no plan is

they have misconceptions

about how much money they
will need in retirement. Successful retirees understand
the steps to take and how to
live on a budget.
Have a plan. Many people simply fail to plan for
retirement. Even men and
women who invest in an
employer-sponsored retirement program, such as a
401(k), should not make that
the only retirement planning they do. Speak with a
financial advisor who can

help you develop a plan that

ensures you dont outlive
your assets.
Set reasonable goals.
Retirement nest eggs do not
need to be enormous. Many
retirees have a net worth
of less than $1 million, and
many people live comfortably on less than $100,000
annually. When planning
for retirement, dont be dissuaded because you wont be
buying a vineyard or villa in
Europe. Set reasonable goals
for your retirement and make

sure you meet those goals.

Recognize there is no
magic wealth-building plan.
Saving comes down to formulating a plan specific to
your goals, resources, abilities, and skills. Make saving
a priority and take advantage of employer-sponsored
retirement programs if they
are offered.
Dont underestimate
spending. You will need
money in retirement, and its
best that you dont underestimate just how much youre

going to need. No one wants

to be stuck at home during retirement, when people typically want to enjoy
themselves and the freedom
that comes with retirement.
Speak to a financial planner
to develop a reasonable estimate of your living expenses
when you plan to retire.
Pay down or avoid debt
while you can. Retiring with
debt is a big risk. Try to
eliminate all of your debts
before you retire and, once
you have, focus your energy

on growing your investments

and/or saving money for
retirement.
Start early on retirement
saving. Its never too early
to begin saving for retirement. Although few twenty-somethings are thinking
about retirement, the earlier
you begin to invest the more
time you have to grow your
money. Enroll in a retirement
plan now so you have a larger nest egg when you reach
retirement age.

Several factors to consider before selling your home

Selling a home is no small
undertaking. It often pays
to be patient when putting
a property up for sale, but
waiting for an acceptable
offer can be stressful, especially for those homeowners who have already found
their next homes.
Because so much tends
to be riding on the decision
of whether or not to sell a
home, homeowners would
be wise to consider the following factors before putting that For Sale sign in
their front yards.

also happen to be parents.

Quality of life
It can be difficult to turn
down an opportunity to
make a lot of money on
your real estate investment.
But if you plan to sell and
move farther away from
your office and your friends
and family, the financial
windfall you earn when

When deciding whether or

not to sell their homes, many
homeowners make the decision a strictly financial one.
But there is more than money to consider when deciding
if now is the right time to sell
your home.
Metro News Service

Welcome

Katie Simon

Motivation

Market

Kids

The local real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding whether or not to sell your home.
A home is a significant
investment, and you want to
earn as substantial a return
on that investment as possible. Selling when the market
is struggling will make your
investment less valuable.
Research recently sold
homes in your neighborhood to get an idea of how
much you can expect to get
if you sold your home in the
current market. It might be
worth it to sell now, or it
might pay off to be patient
and wait until the market
rebounds.

Selling your home will

impact your family just like
it will impact your bottom
line. Unless you plan to
move down the street or to
another home in your community, selling may mean
you and your family no
longer see your friends and
neighbors.
That can be a difficult
adjustment, especially for
school-aged kids who will
have to adjust to a new
school. The potentially negative impact that selling can
have on your children may
not be worth the financial
benefits of selling, so the
decision of whether or not
to sell should not be taken
lightly by homeowners who

Did you know: IRAs

An individual retirement account, or IRA, is a type of account
men and women who meet certain eligibility requirements can
open to save money for their retirement.
Unlike a 401(k), a type of retirement account that is provided by an employer, an IRA must be opened by an individual.
Another difference between a 401(k) and an IRA is that men
and women can withdraw money from their IRAs before they
reach retirement age to pay medical expenses without incurring
the penalties that apply when 401(k) account holders prematurely withdraw money from these accounts.
One similarity between 401(k) accounts and traditional IRAs
concerns taxation. Account holders of both types of accounts do
not pay taxes on their contributions to those accounts until they
begin to withdraw money in retirement (prematurely withdrawing money from a 401(k) will incur taxes and fees). But men and
women who open a Roth IRA pay their taxes up front, meaning
they wont be paying taxes down the road when they withdraw
money in retirement.
Each type of IRA comes with its own set of rules and restrictions, including contribution limits and eligibility requirements
based on earned income. In addition, men and women with a
traditional IRA must begin to withdraw their money by the time
they reach age 70.5, while those with a Roth IRA can leave their
money in their accounts as long as they please.

Many homeowners sell

their homes because their
families are growing and
they have outgrown their
current residences. Others
may recognize a sellers
real estate market and want
to strike while the iron is
hot, while still others might
be moving for a new job.
The factors that motivate
homeowners to sell their
homes vary with each individual case, but prospective
sellers should keep in mind
that moving can be expensive, and finding a new
home may not be so easy,
nor is the grass necessarily
greener on the other side.
When deciding if now
is the best time to sell your
home, make sure you will be
selling for the right reason.
That can make the often trying process of selling a home
a lot easier to handle.

selling your home may not

be worth the sacrifices you
have to make in order to
earn that money.
Studies have shown that
longer commutes can elevate stress levels, and even
the most affordable property may not be worth moving to if you wont be able
to enjoy the home with your
friends and family.

Co-head coach Dan Spilde reached 300 career dual

The way I look at it
is that it is a community

There are other great

great youth program that
has dealt with so many

Madison International Speedway

McKarns will keep Friday Nights Alive at MIS

John Wells
Special to Unified Newspaper Group

The off-season for Gregg McKarns

continues to keep him busy.Recently, he was introduced as the owner
of the ARCA Midwest Tour and
completed a purchase agreement to
become the new owner of Madison
International Speedway in Oregon.
This will fulfill one of my lifelong goals of owning and operating
a weekly racetrack, McKarns said.
Im grateful to Terry Kunes for
allowing me this opportunity.
Kunes purchased Wisconsins
Fastest Half-Mile Oval in 2003 and
has operated the track for the past 11
years.
One thing that McKarns plans to
do right away is keeping the Friday
Night Tradition.
This track has a great history and
part of that history is that the weekly
racing program is on Friday night,
McKarns explained.Race fans are
familiar with that night and now we

will do everything we can to have

more fans make Madison their place
to go on Friday nights during the
spring and summer.
As far as weekly divisions, McKarns indicated that his top weekly
division will follow Big 8 Late
Model rules with monthly Super
Late Model events. He also plans
on a Sportsman division and will
announce additional divisions at a
later date.
For McKarns, becoming the new
owner of Madison International
Speedway has a special personal
meaning.
My parents, John and Sue McKarns, ran Madison back in 1980-81
when it was known at Capital Super
Speedway. I was just an infant back
then, but recall looking through the
memories of great ARTGO events
and other specials the track hosted
as I was growing up.Now, my wife
Angie and I will now have an incredible opportunity to add more to the
great history of this place.

Sam Bartus built the half-mile

oval in 1969 and he ran the facility until selling the track to Fred
Nielsen in 1980.Bob and Tony Zider took over the ownership reigns
in 1983. They made improvements
like the concrete grandstands and
the backstretch scoreboard.In 1987,
Craig Henmen bought the track and
turned it into a dirt oval, renaming it
Impact Speedway.
The track shuttered in 1989 until
Wayne Erickson purchased the facility in 1992 and re-opened it with
its current name. The Fillner family bought the track in 1996 and ran
it until 2002. Kunes took over the
facility in 2003.
Past champions include a whos
who in auto racing, including: Dick
Trickle, Joe Shear, Rich Bickle Jr,
Matt Kenseth, Robbie Reiser, Travis
Kvapil, Conrad Morgan, Scott Ollerman, Dave Feiler, Todd Kleuver,

many more.

40 plus shots on goal.
The girls worked their tails off, outshooting the Hilltoppers 41-19, Jochmann
said. It was a tough, physical game, but
neither goalie gave in.
The fourth-ranked Hilltoppers (11-3-1)
were without one of the states top scorers
in Jacyn Reeves (25G, 10A).
With Reeves out, we certainly had a
more confident mindset regarding winning
going into the game, Jochmann said. But
even with Reeves in the game, Im not
sure it would have been a lopsided contest.
I think the way we played the game did
more to dictate the outcome than a single
player would have greatly changed. They
may have scored a couple of goals because
of her, but we also may have been able to
put the puck in as well.I think it would be
a nice tight game if we played them again.
