New look for horse pull AMBER LEVENHAGEN Unified Newspaper Group

The Wisconsin Horse Pullers Association has been featured at the fair for as long as president Dan Zeamer can recall.

A new twist this year will make it easier for audiences to follow along.

The Stoughton fair’s horse pull traditionally has used the dynamometer, a piece of equipment that increases the tension on whatever the horses are pulling.

This year, the horses will pull a sled with weights added on during each run.

This way, audiences won’t have to guess the resistance on the dynamometer.

“People understand (the sled) better because they see the weight going on and how much the horses

Zeamer joined the Wisconsin Horse Pullers Association in 2002 and is the 2018 president of the organization. The WHPA puts on horse pulls around the state and Zeamer said people travel from all over in order to participate.

There will be roughly 20 pairs of horses participating in the event, 10 in either of the heavy and lightweight classes. The lightweight class caps at 3,200 lbs and heavy

Council requests more discussion on attendance policy Refers resolution back to committee BILL LIVICK Unified Newspaper Group

The Common Council is considering a policy that would require alders and appointed citizens to be physically present in order to participate in committee and council meetings.

But it wants the committee that recommended the policy to discuss it more and voted to send it back

for further consideration.

The council last week referred the proposed required attendance policy back to the Community Affairs/Council Policy committee, which on March 19 had unanimously recommended adoption by the Common Council.

The issue arose after a committee member wasn’t able to attend a meeting (due to family medical situation) but offered to join remotely so that the

The building at 193 W. Main St. has been vacant for some time, and a local business owner wants to change that.

Jordan Tilleson, owner of Pups Unleashed and JNT Development, purchased the building at 189/193 W. Main St. early last month. He has requested the city allow him to partially demolish a portion of the building to turn it into apartments and create a commercial space.

Tilleson told the Hub on Monday morning there is “a lot of interest” in the space, but no businesses have signed yet, as he said most want to see how the renovations pan out.

“Most of the buildings are older and a little behind, without ADA bathrooms or stairwells that are up to the current code,” he said.

“Some of the businesses that want to come downtown in the Arts and Entertainment District want to have a lot of those common and updated amenities that other office buildings and commercial spaces would have.”

The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and falls within the historic district, in which the Common Council has placed a moratorium on demolition requests. The commission will review Tilleson’s proposal at its July 9 meeting and could send a recommendation to the council.

“It is not my plan to c h a n g e t h e ex t e r i o r o f the building or to change the charm of downtown Stoughton,” he wrote in his proposal to the Planning

The Yahara River’s water levels have swelled after heavy rainfall caused the county to place Lake Kegonsa and others upstream of it under a no wake order two weeks ago. The city of Stoughton has called Dane County for assistance in maintaining normal water levels, as more water has flowed through the dam just west of Fourth Street as a result of heavy water flow coming downstream from the lakes.

Yahara River levels continue to rise KIMBERLY WETHAL Unified Newspaper Group

Work to reduce Lake Kegonsa’s levels after heavy rainfall has been successful, but now the Yahara River is feeling the impact.

City of Stoughton public works director Brett Hebert said the city has contacted Dane County for assistance with lowering the water levels on the river. The county could bring out equipment to remove weeds, like they did a few weeks ago after Lake Kegonsa was

placed under a no wake because of high water levels.

“It definitely impacts us because if they’re high upstream,” he said.

“They’re relaying more water through because of the high water conditions, which then go through our dam.”

Two weeks ago, Lake Kegonsa had what county executive Joe Parisi and the county called “100year flood levels,” of which Parisi said were a direct effect of climate change.

The county managed to remove 21 dump trucks worth of weeds out of the lakes to increase the water flow into Kegonsa from 300 cubic feet per second to 900. However, the increased water flow from the

lakes upstream is contributing to the high levels further south.

Hebert said city has a permit they need to abide by with the dam at Fourth Street – and with all the rainfall and the high waters coming downstream from the system of lakes to the north, which include Kegonsa, Waubesa, Monona and Mendota, they’ve managed to stay within those permit levels.

Hebert said they speak daily with the operator of the Dunkirk dam on Hwy. N near Hammond Road to make sure that the adjustments made to one dam is countered with the other to keep consistent levels. The Dunkirk dam is experiencing normal levels, he said, which means that the water’s

not getting down to the dam in the way it needs to be.

The Yahara River was flowing between 900 and 1,000 cubic feet per second – a speed higher than what the river usually flows at, Hebert said, because of how much rain the region has received in the last three months.

“The biggest thing is that it needs to stop raining,” Hebert said. “We’ve just had an influx of precipitation that we need to deal with.”

Stoughton Area School District

Keeping ‘discovery’ going at Sandhill Grant helps teachers continue programming SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group

When you’ve got a good program going for your students, you like to keep it going.

That was the idea behind a request by Sandhill Elementary School kindergarten teachers for funding for “Discovery Stations” at the school, which they began using last year to foster students’ social skills.

Last month, the educators were awarded a $2,000 “Challenge Award Grant” from the Wisconsin Retired Educators’ Foundation; presented to public elementary schools for existing innovative programs. Five grants were awarded this year.

Kindergarten teacher Lindsay Ott said the school

plans to use the money to replace a broken sensory table and purchase more materials for the classrooms.

“We feel so incredibly fortunate to have been recognized for our work,” she wrote the Hub in an email.

In a letter submitted to the WREA, the Kegonsa teachers wrote they “noticed the decline in play within the classroom over the recent years,” and that students are “lacking the social skills necessary to work cooperatively with others.” To help this, they created literacy, art and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) “Discovery Stations” for students to visit throughout the week.

“Our students love retelling stories we have read with puppets, painting with new materials, testing out their senses in our sensory table, building habitats or ramps out of blocks,

and using their engineering skills to build seasonal structures,” the teachers wrote. “These stations use play to develop fine motor skills, strengthen literacy skills, and enable student creativity.”

After using the stations this school year, teachers noted “students are working together more to solve problems,” and grew in their ability to “independently

regulate their emotions and show compassion for others.”

“Our students have learned how to listen and be a good friend through play (and) are engaged in their learning and more productive during work time,” the teachers wrote.

“The skills such as problem solving, teamwork, listening, etc., that our students are learning through

City has called county for assistance

committee would have a quorum.

City attorney Matt Degne said the city does not have a policy that requires alders and committee members to be present at meetings in order to participate.

Mayor Tim Swadley said he’s not sure if it’s a good idea for the council to adopt such a policy.

“We could feasibly have allowed someone to join the meeting by telephone, but then we thought, is this a good practice or not?” Swadley explained. “For a committee meeting, I don’t think it’s quite as essential to be there. For council, planning commission or RDA, I think it’s more important, especially if they’re having a public hearing.”

He said some council members thought “it wouldn’t hurt to spend a little more time discussing it before we decide not to allow it,” and the council voted unanimously to send the resolution back to the CA/CP committee.

The committee was scheduled to meet Tuesday, July 3, but the resolution won’t be discussed that night because a committee member will be absent. It is listed as a future agenda item to consider.

The resolution would also require that if a member is unable to attend a city meeting, they must contact the city clerk or the committee chair to notify them of the anticipated absence.

Newsprint tariffs can’t be allowed to be permanent

T

he past few weeks have been unusually busy for me.

With our assistant sports editor moving out of state after eight years, we’re casting a wide net to make sure we fill his position with someone who can match the wide range of skills we’ve grown accustomed to having.

The response has been shockingly good, with experienced, qualified candidates from all over the United States.

Ferolie While that’s great for our sports coverage, it’s doesn’t bode well for quality newspaper coverage overall.

Unfortunately, in my interviews with these candidates, I have heard different versions of the same story too many times.

If they themselves weren’t the victims of layoffs after years with a company, they have been watching other people get laid off and finding their jobs more difficult to do as a result.

Newsrooms getting squeezed is not a new story, of course – U.S. newspaper employment was cut in half between 2006 and 2016. But this is a new, disturbing layer that nobody really expected.

It’s a direct result of President Donald Trump’s newsprint tariffs.

Normally, I would not insert myself into a national issue like this, because I recognize government policy is complex and full of layers and our readers represent a wide variety of

viewpoints. But this one is simpler than most; it’s clear where it’s coming from and why.

Both Republican and Democratic Senators have spoken out against these and other tariffs, and the President has made plain multiple times that his administration will define this new set of trade policies.

I haven’t really researched the effects of steel and aluminum tariffs imposed earlier this year, but the results of newsprint tariffs, which have combined to increase the price of newsprint about 30 percent since January, have been dramatic already.

It started in Tampa, Fla., where the Times cut 50 employees in April after determining its paper costs would go up by $3 million a year. Closer to home, the Monroe Times dropped from 5-day-a-week publication to twice weekly just last month.

More cuts are surely on the way, as some newspapers and many printers keep a supply that extends for months and therefore haven’t felt the price increases yet. That includes our printer, which means Unified Newspaper Group hasn’t been hurt yet, but it also means we don’t know what will happen in the next few months.

The tariffs were prompted by the complaint of a single paper producer with fewer than 300 employees. If they become permanent, we’ll see far more jobs lost in an industry that’s already been squeezed into major changes because of natural market forces.

Fortunately, there is hope they won’t become permanent.

There’s a hearing later this month in front of the International Trade Commission, which is investigating whether the

tariffs are fair. There’s a chance the United States and Canada, which provides much of America’s newsprint, settle the dispute separately. And there’s a bipartisan bill to suspend the tariffs, the PRINT Act, that has been circulating in the Senate.

Our local senators, Democrat Tammy Baldwin and Republican Ron Johnson, have both expressed concerns about the effects of other tariffs, but neither has signed on to the bill or pledged support.

It’s well-known that technology has been the biggest disrupter of the newspaper industry, spreading out our audience into digital and paper segments and eating away at what used to be our most lucrative products, like ads for jobs, cars and houses.

This competition with other outlets and even ourselves has left our most expensive commodity – investigative journalism – dangling precariously, and it’s made the business model at many news media companies more reliant on subscriber contributions and less on advertising.

If you value newspapers and the role they play in protecting democracy and keeping us connected, recognize this is a crucial time in our industry. We are going to need all the support we can get in the coming years, politically and financially.

But for now, a great start would be asking your Senators to support the PRINT Act. Jim Ferolie is the editor of Unified Newspaper Group, which publishes the Verona Press, Oregon Observer, Stoughton Courier Hub and Fitchburg Star.

Quilts on display around city Quilting by the River Friends has several quilts at Main Street businesses all week as part of their patriotic display for the holiday.

Pat Foltz, one of the coordinators of the display, set up a quilt at the Stoughton Public Library last Friday.

“We display the quilts a number of times a year,”

she said. “You’ll see them in stores, insurance companies – it depends on how many quilts we have, but at least 25 will be in storefronts or inside the stores.”

Quilting by the River Friends meets on the third Wednesday of the month at the American Legion Post 59, 803 N. Page St. The group has been meeting for over 10 years and has around 40 members.

They create quilts,

sometimes with donated materials from other groups, to give away to veterans on Nov. 11, in honor of Veterans Day. “There are people who send us quilt tops who aren’t members, we even have a church group that sends us quilts from Minocqua,” Foltz said.

The quilts will be displayed until July 9, but in case you miss the show, they will be featured again

next spring at the Skaalan Quilt Fair, held at Christ Lutheran Church.

For more information about the quilt show or to learn how to become a member, call Karen Lapidakis at 873-5100 or Pat Foltz at 455-1522.

Fair: Pull teams to compete are from all over Wisconsin Continued from page 1 weight is any weight above that.

“We start on a light load so everybody can warm up their horses, and you keep going until you eliminate all the horses and they can’t pull it,” Zeamer said. The best pair of horses will win the $250 award.

Zeamer connected with Stoughton Fair board president Trevor Dybevik to discuss ways to increase audience engagement. The elimination of the dynamometer will hopefully bring audiences back to the show.

“We want to try to make Stoughton a really good place to pull and for people to come back and watch, so we’re trying to find out what the crowds want so we can get more people back in there to help the fair,” Zeamer said.

The horse pull is set to begin at 7 p.m. Friday, July 6, at Mandt Park, 381 E. Main St. While he doesn’t believe any of the pullers will be from Stoughton, some will be from the area while others will be traveling from around the state.

Service “The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

– Matthew 23:11-12 NIV Richard Foster remarks, in the book Celebration of Discipline,“As the cross is the sign of submission,so the towel is the sign of service.”He goes on to explain that when Jesus had gathered his disciples at the Last Supper,they were quarreling over who was the greatest, and by implication,who was the least among them. Jesus responded by getting down on his knees and with towel and wash basin washing their feet, afterwards directing the disciples “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.”(John 13:14 NIV) Think of the many ways that we can serve our fellow human beings.Just being courteous,friendly and helpful in your everyday dealings with people is perhaps the easiest way to be of service. Showing hospitality to your guests is another way that is available to many of us.You don’t need to live in a castle to open your home to others; an extra bed or even a couch may be sufficient for guests to sleep on. And when people come to visit, often they only want to spend time with you and they aren’t expecting to be treated like royalty. Another simple way to be of service to others is simply to listen to them. Consider how you might be of service to the people you live and work with, as well as those in your community.

– Christopher Simon

Senior Legion

Vikes can’t overcome slow start Stoughton looks to start games stronger, clean up defensive miscues ANTHONY IOZZO

Boys hockey

Kraft named Vikings’ head coach JEREMY JONES

Assistant sports editor

Two different teams showed up for Stoughton in its Senior Legion game against Watertown on June 27.

The Vikings started slowly, falling behind by six runs in the fifth inning, then came alive before losing 7-5.

Three of the Goslings’ seven runs were unearned, with several Viking errors, and Watertown’s offense left six runners, including four in scoring position, on base through 4 1/2 innings.

The second half of the game was much different, however, as Stoughton scored four times and Ryan Curry pitched two 1-2-3 innings to give the Vikings a chance.

“If we can play the way we did in the second half of the game, we will compete with any team that we play,” coach Ryan Nyhagen said. “But on the other hand, if we play like we did in the beginning of the game, we are going to lose to any team.”

The loss was also a microcosm of Stoughton’s mixed results in its first six games, as it posted a 2-4 record.

While the “potential” is there, Nyhagen said, the “execution” isn’t always present.

Against Watertown, Gosling runners were able to take extra bases because the outfielders or infielders didn’t know where to get the ball after an out. In the top of the first, a passed ball led to a run because pitcher Connor Kalinowski didn’t cover home plate.

Another run scored with two outs in the first on a double steal when catcher Hayden Schigur tried to throw out the runner stealing second base.

In the top of the fifth, three runs

One error snowballed into three errors on what could have been a double play, with one ball being thrown over the Vikings’ dugout.

“A lot of it is just baseball IQ,” Nyhagen said. “These guys have all the skill in the world, as you saw in the second half of this game. … If they come focused and ready to play, they are really good. And when we are not focused on the game and the

What’s next Stoughton traveled to Fort Atkinson on July 2 and hosted Milton on July 3 after the Courier Hub’s Fourth of July deadline. Results will be in next week’s paper.

Stoughton hosts Jefferson at 6 p.m. Friday at Norse Park and travels to Watertown’s Washington Park for a doubleheader at 6 p.m. Monday, July 9.

The Vikings finish the regular season at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 10, against Beaver Dam.

Stoughton athletic director Mel Dow announced Doug Kraft as the new Vikings boys hockey coach Wednesday, June 27.

Kraft spent more than seven years with the Beaver Dam hockey program and had various levels of contribution within the sport.

His involvement ranged from an assistant with the high school program the last four years to working with the developmental program, where he led the Bantam A team to back-toback state championships (2017-18).

The Golden Beavers high school team compiled a 30-58-4 record with Kraft as an assistant.

Kraft replaces Kris Rosholt, who stepped down following last season to focus on his growing family. Rosholt was the Vikings’ coach for five years, leading the team to a 45-70-3 regular season record and a 5-5-0 mark in the playoffs.

Some of the things that made Kraft stick out Dow said was his experience and ideas to develop youth level hockey to support a competitive high school program.

“It was clear that coach Kraft is passionate about

Merchants tear into Jefferson, remains game behind Evansville JEREMY JONES ​Sports editor

Ben Riffle went eight innings, striking out five and allowing one earned run Sunday against Jefferson.

Ominous skies and a tornado warning Sunday threatened to cancel Stoughton’s Southeast Section game at Jefferson.

Despite a quick shower between the fourth and fifth innings, however, the Merchants once again managed to sneak in their game despite the conditions.

Pitcher Ben Riffle scattered six hits over eight innings at Fischer Field and a short-handed Merchants’ offense did enough to eke out a 4-1 rain-shortened win in eight innings with playoff implications. All of Stoughton’s runs came with two outs.

The victory kept the Merchants in the hunt for the second of four playoff spots – which would come with at least one home game.

Jefferson (8-1) entered the game undefeated, while Stoughton (9-1) had its 25-game Sunday-league winning streak dating back to last year snapped by first-place Evansville on June 22.

“This win today was huge, especially coming off our last two games,” third baseman T.J. DiPrizio said. “It was great just to get some

It became an official game after seven innings, Jefferson scratched out a run in the bottom of the eighth when Brian Klug led off with a single to center and later took second on a wild pitch. Klug came home on a two-out single by Roby Schlesner to score the game’s final run.

The sky darkened and the wind picked up in the top of the ninth, as Stoughton center fielder Tanner Klitzke grounded out to shortstop and right fielder Ben Gerber popped out to short. Then the skies opened and sent both teams to their respective dugouts.

After three lightning strikes nearby the game was called.

The seventh inning proved to be the Merchants’ biggest, as Irvin Medina walked with two outs and moved up to third on a wild pitch before being singled home by fellow infielder Winder Fuentes.

A’s game postponed JEREMY JONES ​Sports editor

The Utica Home Talent team led McFarland 5-3 before having Sunday’s Southeast Section game suspended with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning. The A’s will pick the game at that point following this Sunday’s home game against Clinton.

All three McFarland runs were earned against Utica pitcher Aaron Schauer, who struck out one and walked two in fifth.

“It started to rain and it was hard to even grip the ball,” manager Christian Stokstad said.

McFarland loaded the bases in the fifth but hadn’t scored a run in the inning before play was suspended.

Utica scored all five of its runs in the second inning. Andy Martin and Ben Hildebrandt each singled home a run and Doug Vike was hit by a pitch to plate another. Max Gartzke highlighted the inning with a two-out, 2-run double.

Nick Woodstock and Sam Raff each reached base with singles to lead off the

task at hand is when we start making mistakes.”

In the fourth, Kalinowski singled and made it to third on two passed balls.

After Trevor Ott walked, Kalinowski scored on a double steal attempt to cut the deficit to 7-2.

Curry replaced Kalinowski on the mound in the fifth and did his part by retiring eight straight batters. But the defense was a big help, as well.

The first out of the sixth was a grounder up the middle that Ott needed to backhand at shortstop. Ott then made a one-hop throw to Ethan Yahn at first base that Yahn was able to pick and get the out.

Alex Johnson added two stops at third base in the sixth. In the seventh, the inning started when center fielder Rylee Carpenter recovered after first misjudging a fly ball and made an over-the-shoulder catch.

Offensively, Stoughton also improved in the final two innings.

Yahn singled to center field with one out in the bottom of the sixth, and Jacob Sanders walked. Curry moved them

two doubles plays and did not commit an error.

“I kept them off-balance, and I was locating well,” he said. “They were swinging, and when they did hit the ball hard it went right to our guys.”

Jefferson threatened in the third but could not drive runners home.

Steve Winter led off the third with a bloop single into left center and Klug

walked. Riffle worked out of the jam, however, catching Nick Schrader’s sacrifice bunt and doubling Winter off second.

Stoughton nearly turned a triple play but Klug scurried back to first ahead of the throw.

to second and third with two outs, and Kalinowski and Ott followed with back-toback RBI singles to cut the Vikings’ deficit to 7-4.

Stoughton then loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh with Schigur reaching on an error, and Ryan Novak reaching on an infield single. Sanders later walked with two outs, and Curry knocked home a run on a single to right to make it 7-5.

But Kalinowski struck out to end the threat.

Kalinowski took the loss on the mound. He went four innings and allowed four earned runs on five hits and five walks. He struck out one.

Curry went three innings and allowed a hit.

Nyhagen said that the pitching staff has done well so far, but errors and walks tend to lead into trouble.

“That is why I try to tell our pitchers to pound the zone,” Nyhagen said. “More times than not, the hitter is going to be the one who makes a mistake even if you groove a fastball down the middle. You have fielders behind you. Let them do some of the work and not try to strike out everyone.

“Overall, our pitching staff has done a really good job in

giving us a chance. We just have to execute in the field a little bit more.”

Milton 10, Stoughton 9 The Vikings traveled to Milton on Thursday and lost a heartbreaker 10-9.

Stoughton scored six runs in the top of the fifth to take a 9-5 lead, but the Red Hawks scored five unanswered runs, including a walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth.

Schigur had three RBIs, and Ott had two RBIs. Parker Milbauer led the Vikings with three hits.

Curry pitched three innings, and Milbauer had three strikeouts in three innings.

Jefferson 1, Stoughton 0 Stoughton traveled to Jefferson on Friday and lost 1-0.

Nathan Hebbe had the lone RBI in the bottom of the third.

Aldair Ramirez struck out 12 in a three-hit shutout for Jefferson.

Ryan Ellingson struck out six in five innings and allowed a run on three hits.

Schigur pitched one scoreless inning.

Reserves contribute in big win T.J. DiPrizio and Jeremy Dunnihoo have contributed on and off for the Stoughton Home Talent team for several years. They continued to do so Sunday at Jefferson.

One of three Sunday league pitchers for Stoughton, Dunnihoo got the start in left field over the weekend, as the Merchants were missing two outfielders.

Dunnihoo had one hit in three rare plate appearances and drive in a run.

DiPrizio went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and made a crucial play at third base to help the Merchants secure the 4-1 victory.

“When you look at our roster the past couple of years, we’ve been dangerous all the way through the lineup,” DiPrizio said.

“That’s what winning a title comes down to,” pitcher Ben Riffle said.

“It’s important that we have these other guys that can step up and get the job done. You win championships with your bench.”

Already without starting outfielders Chris Lund and Sam Schretenthaler and infielder Dave Hanson, who welcomed his second child over the weekend, the

Merchants knew they could not afford to lose anyone else.

So with some bad blood with Jefferson earlier this season, the Merchants talked before the game about not carrying that animosity over from an 8-0 loss to the Blue Devils last month.

That game, part of the Fort Atkinson baseball tournament (June 7), ended with a brawl after shortstop Winder Fuentes was spiked while covering second base.

Each team retaliated by hitting a batter before Fuentes charged the mound and both benches cleared.

No one was suspended because the game was not part of the Home Talent League schedule.

“It’s all everyone has been talking about since it happened,” DiPrizio said.

“Everyone was kind of on edge today.”

“I think we all kind of knew what was going to happen if there was any chirping or anymore retaliation,” said Riffle, who hit two Jefferson players Sunday. “They were just pitches I overthrew. They left my hand bad. It happens. It obviously wasn’t intentional.”
