An ‘egg-citing’ hunt The Stoughton Kiwanis Club held its annual Easter egg hunt last weekend, despite the cold and blustery weather. Dozens of families turned out for the event, which included visiting the Easter bunny and scavenging for Easter eggs in the two hunts, categorized by age of the participants. Nearly 50 children bundled up and frantically explored the Mandt Park baseball diamond, filling up multicolored bags and baskets with their goodies during the hunt that lasted about two minutes. Families quickly headed into the warmth of indoors as the children enjoyed their rewards. The Kiwanis Club has another upcoming event for children – a cooking class for ages 5-7 at Stoughton Hospital on April 14. Search “Kiwanis Club of Stoughton” on Facebook for more information about the event and other activities offered by the Kiwanis Club.

Stoughton’s city government will change significantly following next week’s election. At a minimum, the city will have a new mayor and two new alders on Common Council, although it’s unclear how the new faces will affect some of the biggest projects on the city’s agenda. Council president Tim Swadley and former alder Bob McGeever are squaring off on the April 3 ballot to succeed Mayor Donna Olson, who decided not to seek a third four-year term in office. At the council level, two political novices – Phil Caravello and Franklin James – will compete for an open seat in District 2 while newcomer Dorann Bradford is challenging incumbent Regina Hirsch in District 3, and Nicole Wiessinger and Dennis Pince are vying for an open seat in District 4. Dist. 1 alder Sid Boersma is running uncontested for another three-year term on the 12-member council.
Dist. 2 incumbent Mike Engelberger and Dist. 4 incumbent Scott Truehl both decided not to run for another term. In the Stoughton Area School District, there are four School Board seats up for election, and four candidates on the ballot: incumbents Yolibeth Rangel-Fitzgibbon, Allison Sorg and Frank Sullivan and newcomer Kathleen Hoppe. Members on the nine-person board serve for three-year terms. Hoppe, if elected, would succeed School Board president Scott Dirks, who is not seeking re-election. Town of Rutland voters will also have a decision to make, with four candidates — Geoffrey Hutchinson, Rob Hill, Deana Zentner and incumbent Nancy Nedveck — vying for just two open seats on the board. A pair of judicial seats will also be decided April 3, with Rebecca Dallet and Michael Screnock facing off for a 10-year term on the state Supreme Court and Marilyn Townsend and Susan Crawford on the ballot to become a Dane County circuit court judge. There is a statewide referendum on the ballot as

Sale of former Whitewater park planning advances Marathon site in doubt Council authorizes steering committee
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group
Unified Newspaper Group
The sale of a former Marathon gas station site on West Main Street is in doubt after the Redevelopment Authority two weeks ago placed a new financial requirement on the developer who has a contract to buy the property. At its meeting March 14, the RDA voted for a third time in less than a year to extend a closing date for selling the half-acre property to local developer Todd Nelson. He requested an extension to the April 2 closing because of potential environmental work the site may need. But in delaying the closing deadline by two months, the RDA added a requirement that was not part of its previous agreement with the developer: The improved property must have an assessed value of $800,000 by the end of the year, or Nelson must make a payment in lieu of taxes based on that amount. Nelson, who agreed last August to buy the property for $72,000, had planned to build two fourplexes on the parcel at the corner of West Main Street and Prairie Street. His preliminary building plan has already been approved by the Planning Commission, despite his not owning the property. The Common Council approved the RDA’s deal with Nelson in August. He objected to the RDA’s financial requirement and warned he wouldn’t buy a property that has unresolved environmental issues. “I don’t want to guarantee anything,” Nelson gruffly told the RDA, casting doubt on whether the sale will move forward. Despite Nelson’s veiled threat to walk away from the deal, the RDA voted unanimously (with John Kramper abstaining) to extend the closing date to “not later” than June 4, with the requirement that the developer pay taxes based on $800,000 of new value. Several RDA members – chair Scott Truehl, Peter Sveum, Roger Springman and Ron Christianson – told Nelson they had agreed to delay the property closing at least twice at his request and wouldn’t do it again without a guarantee that he would generate the $800,000 of value by Dec. 31. “What makes you think I’ll agree to this?” Nelson asked after the RDA voted to extend the closing deadline and require the value guarantee. “I will not move forward with the environmental work unless I have control of the property.”

Madison man pleads guilty to October bank robbery KEVIN MURPHY Hub correspondent
A Madison pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to the Oct. 17 armed robbery of Home Savings Bank in which more than $100,000 was taken and recovered. Kenny Furdge, 24, and Jay’von Flemming, 24, of Appleton, were arrested in Madison where they crashed a getaway car after leading law enforcement on a highspeed chase directly after committing the bank robbery at gunpoint, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Anderson told District Judge James Peterson. Both men entered the bank on Main Street masked, wearing gloves and armed with handguns. Three employees were inside the bank at the time. The masked men displayed handguns to the employees and demanded money. A mortgage lender and a teller were ordered into a vault from which five bags of cash and a metal box containing cash were taken, Anderson said. The robbery took place within one minute, according to video recorded by bank surveillance cameras and the branch bank manager, said Anderson. Wi t n e s s e s s aw t wo masked men carrying bags leave the bank and drive away in a silver Chrysler sedan, which was reported to authorities. A Dane County sheriff’s deputy responding to the call while southbound on U.S. Hwy. 51, saw a vehicle heading northbound that matched the description of the getaway car. The deputy turned around and pursued the robbers’ car to Madison onto the beltline highway at speeds in excess of 100 mph. The robbers’ vehicle crashed shortly after exiting on Seminole
Highway, said Anderson. The robbers fled on foot but were soon captured by local authorities, he said. The bank bags were recovered and contained about $90,000. The metal box contained about $18,000 also was recovered said Anderson. Two handguns were recovered from the crashed car. On Oct. 18, a Stoughton police officer interviewed Furdge, who admitted to driving the getaway car and ordering the bank employees to give him money, Anderson said. Neither Furdge nor his attorney, Gregory Dutch, disputed Anderson’s statements. “Me and the co-defendant demand money at gunpoint,” Furdge told Peterson. “Took money from the vault and told the people to lay down and not call the police.” Furdge also said he showed the bank employees that he had a handgun which was loaded but did not have a round in the chamber.
In his plea agreement, Furdge also stipulated to robbing Bank Mutual in Portage on Sept. 27. Furdge acknowledged that Peterson could also sentence him for the armed robbery of that bank. Peterson set Furdge’s sentencing for June 12 where he faces maximum penalties of 25 years for armed robbery, a mandatory minimum of seven years for brandishing a weapon during the robbery and restitution for the Home Savings Bank robbery. Flemming’s attorney, Mark
Maciolek, told Federal Magistrate Stephen Crocker earlier this month that he expects his client’s armed robbery case also be resolved by a guilty plea. After court, Anderson said Flemming is an inmate at the Columbia Correctional Institution on a probation revocation prompted by the Stoughton bank robbery arrest. Anderson expects Flemming’s Stoughton and Portage bank robberies to be resolved by a guilty plea and stipulation.

He charged that the RDA hadn’t mentioned any contamination of the property and it came as a surprise. Sveum responded that Nelson has had the environmental site assessment since last summer and was asking for another delay at the “11th hour.” He said knowing what was in the assessment was a regular part of a buyer’s due diligence. The property is in the downtown tax-increment financing district and would generate revenue for the district if the buildings are completed. The district must close in less than three years. Nelson asked to extend the real estate closing because of a concern about contaminated soil at the former gas station site. The city provided him with a 112-page Phase 1 environmental assessment report last summer. Nelson said he shared the report with his lender, McFarland State Bank, and “they found a need for environmental cleanup.” RDA consultant Gary Becker clarified that rather than cleaning up the site, the property owner would need a “management plan” for the site, suggesting the property wouldn’t need an intrusive cleanup. Nelson told the RDA it would take less than two months to assess the site and apply for grants to remediate the soil. He’s paid an architect and an attorney to plan the development project, he said, and wouldn’t spend more of his own money to prepare the site. He told the RDA he’d like to begin construction in July and the buildings would be completed before the end of the year. Becker explained that soil at the site was contaminated by a leaking underground fuel storage tank that was removed when the city demolished the gas station in Nov. 2010. He said the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources studied the property and “closed the site, which means it’s not that bad and shouldn’t cost too much to clean up.” “What they’re talking about is not a cleanup, but a management plan to develop the site,” Becker said. The RDA invested more than $300,000 in the property and has been trying to sell it since 2011. Sveum noted the deal with Nelson wasn’t going to recoup the city’s investment, but the effort succeeded in removing a blighted property from Main Street. Truehl told Nelson the RDA has made its decision, and what happens next is up to him. He did not return a phone call seeking comment before the Hub’s deadline.
He said a consultant recommended waiting until a conceptual design is done before testing the sediment, “so we know which areas to look at.” He anticipates a presentation in May from Recreation Engineering and Planning Inc., a Colorado-based company that helps municipalities develop whitewater parks. The company will provide a variety options for the park design, as well as cost estimates to construct the project. Preliminary estimates range from $400,000 to $900,000. The Redevelopment Authority, which governs city investment in redevelopment projects, and the Finance committee both have expressed support for planning the park. Glynn and others who advocate creating the park say the project would draw thousands of visitors to the city each year and generate hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in new revenue for local businesses. It would be only the second such park in the state, Glynn said, after one in Wausau. He said Recreation Engineering and Planning Inc. has designed and built hundreds of whitewater parks and is the leading whitewater park developer in the country.
Thank You!
I am very thankful and grateful to the two men who helped me on the evening of January 16 when I fell on the ice and broke my hip. I was worried no one would see me, but I was fortunate that the men saw me and stopped, asked me if I was OK, and told me they had already called the EMS and the Police. I do not know who you are, but please know your kindness will never be forgotten. Thank you to the Stoughton EMS and the Stoughton Police for responding swiftly and for your professionalism. To all the people who assisted with my rehabilitation at the Skaalen Home, thank you for helping me heal. To all of my family, friends, and neighbors thank you so very much for the numerous visits, the lovely cards, and the calls of concern. Thank you for being there for me.

Developer, RDA disagree on value guarantee
A new steering committee will guide planning for a whitewater park on the Yahara River near Mandt Park. The Common Council on Tuesday, March 13, unanimously authorized Parks and Recreation director Dan Glynn to establish a seven-member committee, which he said would begin meeting in April or May. Glynn said he’s looking for people from “stakeholder groups” to join the committee. That could be someone with experience in recreation or from the rivers and trails task force, the Redevelopment Authority or a downtown business owner, he said. He will be in charge of appointing committee members. Glynn and former Parks and Rec director Tom Lynch proposed developing a whitewater park near Mandt Park about a year ago and Glynn has been laying the groundwork since then. The goal is to create a recreational amenity to draw visitors to the city and possibly enhance the RDA’s riverfront redevelopment project. Before voting to approve Glynn’s request, alders discussed the project.
Kathleen Tass Johnson (Dist. 2) said the project’s promoters should not be advertising it as a plan to bring “whitewater rafting” to Stoughton, and asked Glynn what class of rapids the park would be likely to generate. She suggested the rapids would be “pretty wimpy” and not the sort that would require helmets. Glynn said consultants have told him the park would have Class 1 or Class 2 rapids. According to the international scale of river difficulty, that’s “Easy” or “Novice,” or rapids with few obstructions, little risk and only small maneuvering required. Ald. Regina Hirsch (Dist. 3) corrected Johnson, saying the park is not being promoted as “whitewater rafting,” but a whitewater park that would provide recreation opportunities for a wide range of ages and skill levels. She asked Glynn about testing the river sediment for contamination. He explained he’s been working with True North Consulting in Madison and learned that it would cost about $2,000 to test for sediment contamination. The biggest cost would be to dispose of contaminated materials that may be found in the river. Federal grants are available for remediation, he added. “The cost to remove solid waste ranges from $50 per ton to $1,000 per ton,” Glynn said. “It would be under $100,000 in the worst-case scenario.”

‘People with guns kill people’ Guns for babies. Guns don’t kill people; people kill people? Or people with guns kill people. That’s what people made guns for. To kill people? We don’t know which is right, now do we? This is only the 16th or so massacre of school kids and other people. This is no time to talk about gun laws. That is politicizing tragedy. We need more hope and prayers. Besides, the Second Amendment has nothing to do with the regulating a militia. The constitution protects my right to buy a tank, or a bazooka, if I want to. Arming teachers? More guns?
Some people say that is like putting out a fire by pouring gasoline on it. Fake metaphor. We did have a teacher that got ahold of a gun at school once. Went off accidentally. Bullet went through a wall. Nobody hurt, though. I have a new great-grandchild coming. The best thing I can do will be to buy that kid a gun. Not a big one. It’s a baby, after all. I think I’ll get it a small silver-plated derringer. You can do a lot of defending with a little gun like that. Steven D. Fortney City of Stoughton

Vote Wiessinger for City Council on April 3 I am writing to endorse Nicole Wiessinger for City Council. I had the pleasure of working with her on the Stoughton Area Board of Education. Nicole is a voice of reason, and is thoughtful and thorough in her dedication to the issues of the Stoughton community. While I worked with Nicole, I admired her deliberate examination of all sides of every topic. She was exceptional when working with a variety of personalities, and could lead a thoughtful and productive discussion. She always came prepared to the board meetings and often brought up points of view and concerns that had not been considered. She has a wisdom, intelligence and common sense that will serve Stoughton well, and is exactly what the community needs as we address the current issues. Nicole is committed to attracting new families to Stoughton in an effort to curb declining enrollment in our schools. She will
partner with the School District to tackle the very pressing issues of community homelessness, increased poverty and substance abuse. Nicole is also dedicated to encouraging balanced growth throughout the city, while supporting a vibrant downtown. We can all agree that Stoughton is a place where everyone should want to work, play and live, now and in the future. I am certain that it will be Nicole’s mission to make Stoughton a community of choice for new families going forward. Nicole and her family are dedicated members of the Stoughton community. She comes from several generations of Stoughtonites, and she and her husband are proud to have chosen to raise their three children here. Besides serving on the school board to fill a vacancy, Nicole has had a meaningful career in public education, including K-12 education, outreach education, and most recently, UW-Madison. She
is currently on the executive board for Sustainable Stoughton, and is a volunteer coach. Nicole has a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a Master’s degree in Educational Administration. If Nicole is elected to the City Council, Stoughton will be in good hands as we enthusiastically address important topics and accomplish community goals in the city. She will be an incredible addition to the council, and I believe will help lead Stoughton to become a city of choice for incoming families. Beverly Fergus Former SASD Board of Education member Editor’s Note: Due to a technology error, this letter, which was submitted before the election letters deadline, did not reach the Hub before that deadline.
Stoughton needs modern ideas in order to grow There continues to be a drumbeat for more “development” in Stoughton. So far, this has meant, “use TIF to build apartments and stores.” Such development has been presented as the only viable option for increasing economic activity and the school-age population (young families). This puts the cart before the horse. We need infrastructure and planning that allows for economic growth to bring the families to fill those apartments and stores. Let’s be more creative. Instead of trying to buy our way to prosperity, let’s focus on long-term leadership and planning by someone with expertise, focused on the City’s interests, not the developers’ interests. From the outside looking in, some might conclude that the group in charge of redevelopment is riddled with private agendas and profit motives that are not in Stoughton’s best interests.
Stoughton has many features that recommend it to young workers — but the current development focus is on retail, lowwage jobs that do not support families. Great for high schoolers, painful for young adults. We need to attract businesses that provide higher paying jobs requiring knowledge workers or other higher paid skills beyond kicking boxes and ringing registers. Let me be clear, those are not bad jobs, but not great for being able to afford housing and a car, much less a child. What do I suggest? We need infrastructure to attract higher wage jobs, more business. We need reliable transportation that allows young workers in other locations to live here and ideally, work here. Remember that Stoughton doesn’t even have bus service to Madison or Janesville. What about Stoughton funding places for small businesses to start? Perhaps a business
incubator, using the talents of local business groups and community leaders to mentor and grow these enterprises? What about building a co-working space for startups to share expenses? These are proven models of attracting young blood to a community. Young blood that will want to settle here and have families here. Thinking in these more modern ways is how you drive population growth and school enrollment. A return to outdated ideas that worked 20 or 30 years ago is shortsighted. You can’t attract younger families without recognizing how they want to work and live. Stoughton must recognize how the world is changing and decide how it will grow to meet those changes while staying true to its unique character. Andy Lewis City of Stoughton

Pope Francis recently suggested that longstanding translations of the Lord’s Prayer might be retranslated to reflect the fact that God would not Himself tempt us—that is the Devil’s work—and that we should ask of God to “let us not fall into temptation” rather than the current phrase in English, which reads “Lead us not into temptation.” The current English translation does indeed seem to imply that it is God who leads us into temptation, and the Pope’s remarks are intended to be a better translation of the original as well as to reflect a sounder theological doctrine. Critics were quick to respond, with some people saying that this is the Lord’s prayer and not the Pope’s prayer, and that it comes directly out of the book of Matthew. However, we do well to remember that Jesus did not recite His prayer in English, and our English version is indeed a translation, that should be open to retranslation in light of current scholarship. Our English version is a translation from the Latin Vulgate, which was a translation from ancient Greek, which was itself a translation of the original Aramaic spoken by Jesus. Something is always lost in translation, and when we’ve re-translated something three or four times it is sure to lose much. It has been suggested by one scholar that a more literal translation of the phrase in question would be “Do not allow us to enter wrongful thinking or testing.”While this doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue smoothly, it might be a better way to think about God’s role in our life. – Christopher Simon

Stoughton Area school board questionnaires The Hub sent questionnaires to each candidate for Stoughton Area school board this month about themselves and current issues facing the district. There are four seats up for election and four candidates running: Incumbents Yolibeth Rangel-Fitzgibbon, Allison Sorg and Frank Sullivan and newcomer Kathleen Hoppe. Members on the nine-person board serve for three-year terms. Sorg did not return her questionnaire. The election is April 3.
Yolibeth RangelFitzgibbon (I) Age: 47 and getting younger Family: Husband Jim, children Jimmy (13) and Santiago (10) Occupation: Homemaker for the Rangel-Fitzgibbon last year and a half Lived in the district since: 2004 Political experience: Not other than School Board, if that can be counted as political. Notable affiliations: I have been endorsed twice by the Stoughton Dems and Prog group.
Essay questions Why are you running to represent the Stoughton Area School District? I am running for School Board because I believe that public education, one where every child has the resources to succeed, is essential to have a prosperous and happy nation. I believe schools are tied to the vitality of a community, and serving on the Board of Education is an extension of my continued desire to serve the Stoughton community. While serving there I wish to represent students, parents, teachers, staff and all taxpayers, as well as to be the voice for diversity and inclusion. What’s the district’s next big challenge/opportunity? We have different challenges as well as opportunities in SASD. The main challenges I can see are: Teachers shortage and retention of highly qualified teachers and support staff; Declining enrollment; Children’s Mental health and socioeconomic disparities in school due to changes in Stoughton’s demographics; School Safety. The great opportunities: The amount of wonderful teachers and staff who are very committed and invested in the education of our children; The constant support of our community, from parents to industries/business; The implementation of instruction and environment

that support personalized learning at every level; The initiation of the compassionate schools curriculum, which integrates the regular academic instruction with the health and wellness curriculum and support in academic achievement for all students. What can the school board do to help the district’s enrollment decline? Continue the conversations and team work with the city. Last year meeting of City Council and School Board was the first step towards creating a plan to attract more residents, especially young families to our city. From that meeting, the Ad Hoc City/ SB/Chamber Committee was formed. Among other issues concerning the whole community, this committee is exploring ways to bring more single family housing and to market SASD and Stoughton as a community. Create a positive school environment where teachers, staff, students and families in general feel welcome and appreciated, and where we all know that “it takes a village” to make a great school! What accomplishment are you most proud of during your time on the board? During the last three years serving on the BOE, I have seen many accomplishments made by SASD through our students and teachers. Some of them: Implementation of more apprenticeship programs, state grants and awards for our Fab Lab, the Kohl award given to our teachers, the many sport teams doing wonderful on state tournaments, the State “Spirit of Excellence” Award to SHS for leadership development, spirit, sportsmanship and service, and most recently the AATG National German award given to our SHS students. When it comes to the BOE, the creation of the poverty task force committee and the Ad Hoc City/SB committee have been a very positive move. But what I’m most proud of is that our schools are full of talented teachers, administrators and staff that make possible those accomplishments!

Area School District? This is my home. My children have grown up here, and the school district has given them a quality education. I want to make sure that continues for the following generations of Stoughton students. What’s the district’s next big challenge/opportunity? Our district is undergoing a leadership transition. When the new board is sworn in May, only one member will have more than five years of experience. Key members of the executive team — the curriculum director and HR director — are retiring, and the Hub reported that Dr. Tim Onsager was seriously considered for a position in another district. Our first challenge will be to build the next generation of district leadership so we can take advantage of the next generation of opportuniEssay questions ties. What can the school board Why are you running to represent the Stoughton do to help the district’s enrollment decline?
Our enrollment has been declining for years, both because Stoughton’s population is aging and because many families open enroll in other districts. We have to offer an educational vision that makes people want to send their children here, and we have to collaborate with the new mayor, city council and local stakeholders on projects that will attract more young families to Stoughton. What accomplishment are you most proud of during your time on the board? When I was previously on the board, we came together to develop and pass a recurring referendum that ensured years of financial stability for the district. At a time when many Wisconsin schools were facing major program cuts, our community overwhelmingly voted to fund the district at the level it needed to continue providing quality education to our young people.

Town of Rutland questionnaires The Hub sent questionnaires to each candidate for Town of Rutland Board this month about themselves and current issues facing the town. There are four candidates — first-term incumbent Nancy Nedveck, self-employed lifelong resident Rob Hill, former insurance agent Deana Zentner and Waunakee police officer Geoff Hutchinson — for two seats up for a vote. The top two vote-getters will join the board in April. The election is April 3. Each candidate was asked to limit answers to 100 words on two questions and 50 on the others.
Nancy Nedveck (I) Age: Not listed Family: Married to David, a g r ow n s o n Derek Lived in t h e To w n Nedveck since: 1972 Political experience: On the town board and zoning Notable affiliations: B e l o n g t o Wi s c o n s i n Towns Association, Farm Bureau member and many plant societies
for town supervisor? I am running because it is time for me to serve the community and understand the workings of local government. Also to learn the history of the town from the older town board members. Why are you the most qualified person for this office? I am qualified to hold office because I have lived in Rutland since 1972 and have two years of learning after being on the board. I can listen to both sides and Essay questions chose which is best for the Why are you running town. W h a t a re yo u r t o p
Rob Hill priorities for the next two years? The two top priorities besides a town hall, would be maintaining the schedule of road repair and getting a more uniform and reliable Internet service. What should the town do about the Town Hall? The town desperately needs a modern town hall able to last another 50 years. If the town is to have a sense of community, it needs to have a workable, safe community center. A place where everyone can meet either for town business or pleasure.
Essay questions Why are you running for town supervisor? Excellent communication skills are the bridge between confusion and clarity. My previous teaching experiences have equipped me with exceptional verbal and written communication skills, as well as refined listening skills which will facilitate better serving our entire community. Why are you the most qualified person for this office? Now retired, after living in the Town of Rutland for almost 18 years, I have ample time to assist in any township matters asked of me.

needed from residents so that decisions made reflect public sentiment. Look into options to improve broadband. Many residents have limited choices and poor Internet access. What should the town do about the Town Hall? Updates to it or a modest structure are sufficient. The limited use it receives does not justify a large-scale project or the associated borrowing that would burden the Township for many years. I just don’t see justification for a community center project that would provide little benefit in comparison to other infrastructure needs.

Based on my recent door-to-door campaign experiences thus far, no one has spoken against the need to readdress a new Town Hall. Many residents have expressed that they desire a “voice” in the planning and building process. I agree.

Essay questions Why are you running for town supervisor? I moved to the Town of Rutland in April of 2012 and have a deep appreciation for its beauty and rural atmosphere. Running for town supervisor for me is a personal commitment to improve our community in a
fiscally responsible manner. As future annexations are sure to continue the decisions we make today on our long term spending will have significant impacts for all residents in the future. Why are you the most qualified person for this office? I have worked in both the public and private sector, having worked in the public sector for the last 16 years helping people as a police officer I know I can bring that same commitment to the residents of the Town of Rutland. I understand the responsibility that is placed on me by the people and will strive to meet their expectations for a better community. What are your top priorities for the next two years?
My top priority would be working with the chairman and other board members on finding solutions to road improvements, better Internet access for residents, long term fiscal responsibility, term limits for elected board members, and more proactive outreach with our community members. What should the town do about the Town Hall? There is no doubt the Town Hall needs to be addressed. I believe the needs of the town can be met at a much lower price tag than what had originally been proposed, whether that is through a new structure or remodel. I believe there is support throughout the township for an improvement as long as we live within our means.
Stoughton Area School District
Board talks new staffing for 2018-19 school year District recommends adding elementary school deans SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
As Stoughton Area School Board members consider a proposal to add a dean of students to each of the district’s elementary schools, they’re also looking to bolster the district’s number of psychologists. In the end, it will likely come down to budget availability. Monday night, the board heard the district administrative team’s staffing recommendations for the 2018-19 school year, which included adding a dean of students at Fox Prairie, Kegonsa and Sandhill elementaries to support students with behavior issues. To keep the staffing changes cost-neutral, though, administrators are proposing to leave vacant a school psychologist position, though the

board seemed to push back on that idea after hearing from some staff members. District administrator Tim Onsager said the administrative teams recommended adding dean of students positions at the three elementary
schools to provide more consistency in dealing with “a student who is struggling” or “having a bad day” than the current “crisis response teams can. (Now) it’s pretty much whoever is available is who responds,” he said. “It

could be a different person every day.” After several people spoke about the importance of school psychologists, Onsager said he appreciated the feedback. “Staffing is something we
spend a lot of time discussing,” he said. “It’s not something we take lightly.” Onsager said “to avoid layoffs at all costs” over the last decade or so, the district has had to “scrutinize” positions that come open due to retirements or resignations, to see if they are still needed. He said class size and the needs of students are always top considerations. “We are unfortunately in a decreasing (enrollment) environment (and) we don’t have an unlimited amount of money,” he said. “We are OK financially right now, but you know we’re facing a budget deficit in a couple years, so we also need to have that in the back of our minds.”
Next steps For the next meeting on April 1, the board gave Onsager the go-ahead to explore staffing options including keeping the psychologist position (at a cost of $75,000), keeping the psychologist position and adding
another ($150,000 cost), and combinations of adding more psychologists and decreasing the number of proposed deans. “If we’re going to talk about spending another $75,000 or $150,000 or whatever, is it even doable?” board president Scott Dirks asked. “Especially considering we may be authorizing $200,000 to buy school cameras in a very short period of time.” Board member Tim Bubon said he would support a “net increase” in staffing costs, given the importance of the psychologist positions. Board member Frank Sullivan said he’d like to know if the district can reduce the cost for the proposed deans. “If we can get a dean of students for $70,000 or $65,000, that might be a factor in evaluating the decision,” Sullivan said.

PBIS: Gates says it’s ‘crucial’ to set the tone with good behavior early through communication PBIS in brief
Ticket time The whole idea of PBIS is to help turn students’ good behaviors into good habits; something done through teaching and reteaching when needed, Gates explained. Staff reinforce the message with verbal praise, often sending positive referrals home to parents and guardians, and pointing out students who make notable

River Bluff teacher Jen Kolberg congratulates Hannah Bridgwater during a “Breakfast of Champions” PBIS event earlier this school year. Each quarter, students who go “above and beyond” in showing good character at school are recognized for their efforts. achievements. The currency of good behavior mainly comes in the form of “Crew Tickets,” given when staff see positive behaviors, to then be turned in for a variety of goodies or opportunities. Gates said some of the favorites are healthy snacks like juice boxes or granola bars, or getting a pass to move to the front of the lunch line. “Anything with food,” she said with a laugh. “Kids get hungry as they grow.” There are also monthly drawings and school-wide celebrations like the “Breakfast of Champions” held at the end of each quarter. For the events, students who go “above and beyond in being a good leader and doing the right thing” are nominated by staff. More than a dozen students are generally honored, with parents invited to hear staff members talk about their achievements. Sometimes, entire classes get to go on field trips as rewards. Last month, students got to choose between ice skating, open gym, a movie at Stoughton Cinema, a Murder Mystery/Scavenger Hunt at the library and yoga. This month, the “Red Block” of classrooms has focused on the academic character grades with “March to a Better You,” as students earn Crew tickets for being respectful,
engaged and responsible. The goal is earning at least 1,400 tickets, which can be turned in for a chance to win great prizes (or funny Zonks) in the school’s “Lets Make a Deal” activity next month to kick off the fourth quarter of the school year. “These are rewards and we recognize when we help support a positive climate, it’s good for everybody,” Gates said. And while the events are — quite literally — fun and games, she said they’ve also served the larger purpose of encouraging kids to follow directions and be good citizens. Tickets have even been used as positive rewards to help stem occasional issues that arise like tardiness or leaving trash in the lunchroom — one more tool to help get students behaving well and focused on their learning.

in 2012, focuses on rewarding positive behaviors rather than punishing negative ones. For principal Trish Gates, who’s been at River Bluff since 2008, the task isn’t just to deal with hundreds of middle schoolers, but getting them all to quickly assimilate into a new situation in a new building. “The kids come in all from the elementary schools and are becoming the River Bluff Crew,” she told the Hub last week. “Part of that is taking those rules you had in elementary school and (now) getting you set and ready for middle school, and how middle school is a little bit different.” At River Bluff, the focus is on the C.R.E.W., which stands for: “Choose to be, Respectful of all, Engaged in safety and Willing to take responsibility.” Gates said those standards are introduced right away in the year, at PBIS Crew Kick Off Day, where students play educational games to learn rules about the hallways, cafeteria and classrooms, as well as things like using phones and personal devices. Students also find out their behavior is included in the “academic character” part of their report cards. “You set expectations and then you teach those exceptions and you reinforce those expectations,” Gates said. Many times, those expectations are made clear in signs that colorfully adorn the school, such as “Trash the Trash” or “Drama-Free Zone,” reminding students of positive behaviors. “I don’t know if we ever fully achieve a drama-free zone, but we it’s something we try,” Gates said. “If there’s some difficulty in the lunchroom, you can say, ‘Hey, this is a drama-free zone.’ You don’t have to necessarily get into it with kids about who said what where.”

On the other hand, an adjustablerate mortgage starts out with a low interest rate for a set period of time (three or five years are common), and then adjusts according to market rates. In a low-rate environment, like we’re currently in, it’s generally beneficial to lock in a fixed rate, unless you only plan to be in the home for a short period of time.

Q. Is There Help For My Dad’s Hearing Loss? A. About one-third of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 have hearing problems.
Stephen Rudolph FACHE, CSA
About half the people who are 85 and older have hearing loss. Whether a hearing loss is small (missing certain sounds) or large (being profoundly deaf), it is a serious concern. If left untreated, problems can get worse. Hearing loss can affect your life in many ways. You may miss out on talks with friends and family. On the telephone, you may find it hard to hear what the caller is saying. At the doctor’s office, you may not catch the doctor’s words. Sometimes hearing problems can make you feel embarrassed, upset, and lonely. It’s easy to withdraw when you can’t follow a conversation at the dinner table or in a restaurant. It’s also easy for friends and family to think you are confused, uncaring, or difficult, when the problem may be that you just can’t hear well. If you have trouble hearing, there is help. Start by seeing your doctor. Depending on the type and extent of your hearing loss, there are many treatment choices that may help. Technology has come a long way! Hearing loss does not have to get in the way of your ability to enjoy life.

Distance runners expected to lead Vikings in 2018 ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor
Stoughton girls track graduated some top senior talent but there are 23 returners that bring a lot of experience this season, especially in the distance races. But there is room for improvement in the sprinting and mid-distance events, especially with graduate Aly Weum now running for the University of Iowa. Weum made state in the 400 and helped both the 4x400 and 4x800 relays make state. “We will have to work on our sprinting events,” coach Deanna Arnold wrote in a preview questionnaire. “We have many young sprinters that have potential but need to gain some experience in the events.” Junior Anna Wozniak returns after making state in the 3,200 with a season-best time of 11 minutes, 29.07 seconds. Wozniak also had a season-best time of 5:28.54 in the 1,600 last season, taking first place in the Tom Mueller Invitational. Juniors Alex Ashworth and Abby Kittleson return after helping the 4x800 team make state with graduates Clea Roe and Weum. Ashworth also helped the 4x400 team make state with graduates Maddie Posick, Kendra Halverson and Weum. Ashworth finished with a season-best time of 2:24.69 in the 800, as well, which was good enough for a second-place finish in the Badger South Conference meet. Kittleson had a season-best time of 5:29 in the 1,600 to advance to sectionals. Sophomore Grace Jenny is

Coach Jeremy Dunnihoo wrote in a preview questionnaire that some early losses continued to hurt the confidence of the team and allowed those defensive and pitching mistakes to build up as the season progressed. But he also wrote that he expects things to be different in

Stoughton baseball coach Jeremy Dunnihoo wrote in a preview questionnaire that the Badger South Conference typically features teams beating up on each other. Since 2009, only one team has won the conference title with less than two losses – Stoughton (2014). Oregon won three times with 9-3 records (2010, 2015, 2017). Three seasons had multiple teams share the title at 8-4. Last year, the Vikings were 4-8 in the Badger South. Dunnihoo wrote that he expects that trend to continue, but it may be an even tougher road to the title with the addition of Watertown to the conference. “Every year, teams are knocking each other off week by week and adding another solid team will more than likely increase that,” Dunnihoo wrote. “I believe (Watertown is) the favorite with their strong baseball tradition.” Watertown finished 17-9 overall (7-8 Little Ten Conference) last season and had four members make the all-conference list. Three of those selections are back this season – senior second-team pitcher/infielder Trevor Tietz, senior second-team pitcher/outfielder Ryan Hayden and senior third-team outfielder Jonathan Lehman. Dunnihoo wrote that Monona Grove and Madison Edgewood are also top contenders for the Badger South title. Monona Grove was third in the conference with a 7-5 record.

Rosholt steps down as SHS hockey coach, new coaches named for volleyball, boys tennis Kris Rosholt has decided to step down as the Stoughton boys hockey coach after five seasons to focus on his growing family the school district announced two weeks ago. “Hockey season is a long season, and year round if you’re the head coach,” Rosholt said. “I want to be Rosholt the best husband and dad I can be and as we expect our first child and I want to start that process off the right way.” Rosholt said it was one of the hardest decisions he’s ever had to make, because of the athletes he built relationships with, and all the amazing families. “I knew this was the right time. We are expecting any time now and I want that to be my focus,” he
said. “I strive myself on being the best in all I do and when I stretch to thin I’m not giving all areas my very best. So in order to do that I had to let some things go. The timing also allows the school plenty of time to find an amazing coach. “Coach Rosholt was a coach who taught character and work ethic,” Stoughton Athletic Director Mel Dow said. Dow added that the process of finding the program’s next coach will start in April. Also, an assistant coach with the Stoughton football team, Rosholt said he plans to retain that position. “I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, Mel Dow for giving me this great opportunity, my
players, the parents, and most of all leadership role as an interim for the my wife for supporting me through 2018 season with the intent of lookit all,” he said. ing for a long-term coach to fill the role.” Schultz named SHS Over the years coach Schultz has filled many coaching duties for boys tennis coach Stoughton ranging from football, Chris Schultz has been hired to basketball and golf. fill the shoes of Ryan Reischel, Bauer takes over as new who is now coachvolleyball coach ing at Sun Prairie Jillian Bauer has been hired High School this as the Stoughton girls volleyball spring. coaching following the recent “It is going to departure of coach Kelly Sorenen. be a challenge to Bauer joins the Stoughton Athlettake over for coach Schultz ic Department from Verona, where Reischel, but one she was both a standout high school that long time SHS volleyball and softball athlete and teacher and coach Schultz can succeed at,” Dow recently returned home to start her said. “Coach Schultz is taking the coaching career.

Coach Trevor Kramolis expects some big things from several newcomers to the 2018 boys track and field team, he wrote in a preview questionnaire. Seniors Anders Goetz (sprints/mid-distance) and Weston Beyler (sprints/jumps), sophomore Adam Hobson (hurdles/jumps) and freshmen Carter Keo (hurdles/jumps) and Brooks Empey (sprints/jumps/throws) are a few of the names Kramolis wrote should surprise. Kramolis wrote that Goetz, who is coming out for track for the first time, is “very athletic and showing off his speed early.” Beylor, who is also new to the team, has “tons of raw potential and just needs to put it all together,” Kramolis wrote. Kramolis added that Empey, who took sixth at state wrestling this past winter, is a strong athlete that is big and fast, and he wrote that Hobson, who started for the regional champion boys basketball team, is “eager to learn/ improve in any event he does.” Kramolis also wrote that Keo has shown that he can jump really far already.

Vikes go for eighth straight Badger South title The Stoughton girls track and field team has ruled the Badger South Conference for nearly a decade. The Vikings won their seventh straight title last season, the only seven in school history, and will now try to keep the streak going. That won’t be easy with Monona Grove and Oregon looking to dethrone Stoughton with strong teams this season, but the Vikings expect to be in the mix and finish as a top-three team at the very least. “We graduated a lot of talented seniors last year so our main goal is to educate our young athletes about the events and to gain as much experience as possible,” coach Deanna Arnold wrote in a preview questionnaire. Oregon returns several top-three finishers from the Badger South meet last May. Senior Alexis Jackson won a conference title in the 100 hurdles and the long jump, took second in the 300 hurdles and took third in the 100. Junior Scarlet Egwuonwu won a conference title in the 200, took second in the 100 and finished third in the 400.

Soccer: Vikings look to score more goals Continued from page 11 Coach Chelsea Kittleson said Halverson and Wirag will be pivotal on defense in both protecting the ball and connecting to the midfield. “They have the ability to be dynamic and make runs through our middle,” she wrote. Senior midfielders Cassidy Bach, who scored five goals as a second-team all-conference selection last year, and Jackie Smith are expected to be leaders in the middle with junior midfielder/forward Megan Adams also helping.

Kittleson wrote that scoring goals will actually begin with the defense connecting to the midfield and then to the forwards with good passing and ball control. “We have definite speed
going further but we need to make sure we support our forwards and our width in finding runs towards the goal,” Kittleson wrote. Junior forward Peighton Trieloff is the lone returner at forward and will also be looked upon to help create offense.

Members of area Boy and Cub Scout troops canvassed Stoughton earlier this month to collect food donations for the Stoughton Food Pantry.
‘Scouting for Food’ helps those in need Throughout the first few weeks of March, area Boy and Cub Scouts went door-to-door to collect food for area families in need. Cub Scouts from packs 161 and 162, with Boy Scouts from troops 164 and 167 and volunteers from Crew 559 participated in the annual “Scouting for Food” event. The team went around the community and collected food donations for the Stoughton Food Pantry. The event started Saturday, March 3, when Scouts distributed bags to neighborhood homes. The
following Saturday, March 10, the teams returned to pick up and deliver the food. After the food was delivered, the Scouts helped weigh and sort the food. More than 4,125 pounds of food was collected to be distributed to Stoughton families in need. Scouting for Food is an annual event sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America. Each year, both Boy and Cub Scouts canvas neighborhoods to hand out plastic bags and post flyers about the event. – Amber Levenhagen

Town Board Supervisor Seat 3, Jay Damkoehler Town Board Supervisor Seat 4, Janiece Bolender Published: March 29, 2018 WNAXLP *** NOTICE OF SPRING ELECTION AND SAMPLE BALLOTS APRIL 3, 2018 OFFICE OF THE DANE COUNTY CLERK TO THE VOTERS OF DANE COUNTY: Notice is hereby given of a spring election to be held in Dane County on Tuesday, April 3, 2018 at which the officers named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for each office to be voted for, whose nominations have
been certified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, for a referendum, if any, in the sample ballot below. INFORMATION TO VOTERS Upon entering the polling place, a voter shall state his or her name and address, show an acceptable form of photo identification and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If a voter is not registered to vote, a voter may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence, if the voter presents proof of residence in a form specified by law. Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the voter shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that a voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voter’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the voter of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice. Where Optical Scan Voting is Used The voter shall fill in the oval next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote and fill in the oval next to the write-in line. On referendum questions, the voter shall fill in the oval next to “yes� if in favor of the question, or the voter shall fill in the oval next to “no� if opposed to the question. When using an electronic ballot marking device (“ExpressVote� or “Automark�) to mark an optical scan ballot, the voter shall touch the screen at the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the voter shall touch the screen at “yes� if in favor of the question, or the voter shall touch the screen at “no� if opposed to the question. The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five minutes’ time shall be allowed inside a voting booth or machine. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the voter in casting his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked. If the voter spoils an optical scan ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one voter. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the voter shall return it to the election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. After Voting the Ballot After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the security sleeve so the marks do not show. After casting his or her vote, the voter shall leave the booth, insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. The voter shall leave the polling place promptly.
A voter may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the voter declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing or understanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter. The following is a sample of the official ballot: __________________________________ Scott McDonell, Dane County Clerk Published: March 29, 2018 WNAXLP *** NOTICE OF LOCATION AND HOURS OF POLLING PLACES At the election to be held on April 3, 2018 in the City of Stoughton and the Towns of Dunkirk, Pleasant Springs and Rutland, the following polling place locations will be used for the wards indicated: Location:, Wards: First Lutheran Church, 310 E.

If a voter is not registered to vote, a voter may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence, if the voter presents proof of residence in a form specified by law. Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the voter shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that a voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the voter of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice. Where Optical Scan Voting is Used The voter shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote and fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to the write-in line. The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time shall be allowed inside a voting booth or machine. Sample ballots
or other materials to assist the voter in casting his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked. If the voter spoils a paper or optical scan ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one voter. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the voter shall return it to the election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. After Voting the Ballot After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the security sleeve so the marks do not show. After casting his or her vote, the voter shall leave the booth, insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. If a central count system is used, the voter shall insert the ballot in the ballot box and discard the sleeve or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. The voter shall leave the polling place promptly. A voter may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the voter declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing or understanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter.
