Its Monday morning, and Jerry Wendt and his students gather near a makeshift pool where young ducks have gone for a brief swim inside a Stoughton High School agriculture lab. Wendt, an agriculture teacher and FFA adviser, has been explaining to the students in his animal care class how ducks acclimate to water. Now he is trying to herd the ducks back into their pen, only to see them surge back toward the pool again. Because theyre social animals, where one goes, they all go, he tells the class. I absolutely love animals, SHS freshman Taylor Lawrence, who is taking the class because she
wants to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, told the Hub. Veterinary medicine is just one of the many careers that have spun off
from agriculture. The growth and development of Stoughtons agricultural program the district this year started offering agriculture classes

Council to debate pre-annexation agreement for Kettle Park West

Mark Ignatowski
After the Common Council sets its course for the next year on Tuesday, it will consider plans to commit up to $7 million in taxpayer assistance to a commercial project on the west side of the city. The council will discuss a preannexation agreement with Kettle Park West developers, though city
staff still need to fill in some blanks in the agreement before the council looks at the agreement, planning and development director Rodney Scheel said at the citys Planning Commission meeting this week. The Planning Commission forwarded their recommendation of the document that spells out some of the improvements that will be made to the property. The pre-annexation agreement
calls for about $12.6 million in public improvements over the course of three phases. The developer, Kettle Park West, LLC, is seeking up to $7 million in Tax Incremental Financing to facilitate those improvements in the first phase. Big ticket items include intersection and road improvements along Hwy. 138 and Hwy. 51, storm water management and professional service

We, the city of Stoughton, the Stoughton Area School District, the local Sheriffs office, and the Stoughton Police Department, officially announce our partnership with the StoughtonCARES community coalition in support of the 2013 Parents Who Host Lose the Most campaign to reduce underage access to alcohol. This initiative, with similar campaigns all over Wisconsin and the nation, is being organized locally by the StoughtonCARES coalition, which is working to address underage drinking and other substance abuse concerns. We support the following basic tenets of Parents Who Host Lose the Most: Dont Be a Party to Teenage Drinking: Any adults, including parents, other adults, and businesses, who provide alcohol to those below the legal drinking age of 21 are placing those youth at risk for health, safety, and legal problems. Alcohol use by young people is dangerous, not only because of the risks associated with acute impairment, but also because of the serious threat to their long-term development and well-being. It is illegal to give or allow your teens friends to drink alcohol in your home, or at any other location you provide or know of, even with their parents permission. Any adult found guilty of purchasing or providing alcohol to youth other than their own offspring or legal ward is subject to both state and local sanctions, in addition to any civil action that may occur as a result of damages or injury related to the offense. Adults have the authority and responsibility to our youth to provide them with alternative opportunities by creating alcohol-free social activities. THEREFORE, we not only discourage the use of alcohol by those below the legal age of consumption, but also encourage all residents of Stoughton to refuse to provide alcoholic beverages to underage youth. We pledge to support law enforcement efforts to identify and eliminate this illegal and unhealthy activity.

Board outlines opposition Kegonsa lands hundreds of to voucher expansion thousands of Post-It notes
By Derek Spellman
The Stoughton school board has called for public schools revenue limits to keep pace with inflation and staked out its opposition to a proposed expansion of the states voucher program in a letter that will be sent to state lawmakers. The letter, reviewed and authorized by the school board Monday night, will be sent to members of the state Legislatures joint finance committee and to state representatives and senators that represent the district, said board member Donna Tarpinian, who wrote the letter for the board. The state Legislature is now considering the biennial budget. Much is expected of public education, and we are continuing to rise to the challenges and demands before us but this budget hamstrings public schools, while providing generous increases in state payments to religious and private voucher schools, states the letter, which is on behalf of the board, superintendent Tim Onsager and the districts director of business services. Students attending Wisconsin public schools, and more specifically, the Stoughton Area School District, will not be well served by the decision. The two-page letter recounts measures the district has already taken to be financially efficient, including the closure of Yahara Elementary School several years ago, reductions in staff and programs and changes to staff insurance benefits. It also underscored that Stoughton is one of the lowest funded school districts in Dane County by revenue limit and that voters have already backed an
operational and a debt referendum in 2010. We are concerned, however, that ongoing reductions from the state, increased mandates without financial support to implement them, or revenue limit increases that dont keep up with the pace of inflation will make it impossible to maintain critical programs and services for our children, the letter said. Tarpinian said Monday night that school districts have been growing bolder in the face of proposals that include expanding voucher programs and freezes in spending limits for public schools. In her re-election bid, she also talked about heightening public awareness of how such initiatives mean less money for public schools like Stoughton. The school board earlier this year approved a resolution of support for state Superintendent Tony Evers school finance reform plan. Gov. Scott Walker earlier this year proposed a budget with modest increases in school funding but no increases in public schools spending limits a scenario that would translate into some tax relief for property owners but no increase in funding for schools. Some Republican lawmakers have balked at that freeze and said they would push for some increase in schools revenue limit. Walker has also proposed an expansion of the states voucher program, while the Stoughton school board in its letter said there is much evidence showing voucher/choice schools have not been proven to increase student achievement. In other business Monday night, the school board reviewed, but took
no action on, a set of meal price and fee increases. Those proposed increases are expected to return to the board for a vote on April 22. The districts finance committee has also recommended raising lunch fees from $2.05 to $2.10 for elementary school students, from $2.20 to $2.25 for the middle school and from $2.25 to $2.30 for the high school. Breakfast prices would jump from $1.20 to $1.30 for the elementary school and from $1.35 to $1.45 for the middle and high schools. Current milk and adult meal prices would remain unchanged. The meal prices are determined by the federal government, Erica Pickett, the districts director of business services, told the board Monday night. The district finance committee has also recommended several other fee increases, including: A 15-cent an hour increase in pool employee wages, which currently range from $7.75 per hour for many lifeguard positions to $11.50 for a head lifeguard. The district annually reviews those wages. Various increases in hourly rental fees for the elementary school gyms and the high school gym, cafetorium and auditorium. A 25-cent increase in swimming lessons fee to recoup the cost of moving to an online payment system and the pool employee wage increase. Lessons currently cost $5 apiece for residents and $7 for nonresidents. Those increases also must be approved by the board to take effect.

Kegonsa Elementary School students will now have enough pink and yellow Post-it notes to last them, well, a while. The school early last month received $37,000 worth of donated Post-It notes from Suttle-Straus, a Waunakee printing and mailing company. The notes will be used as part of students reading curriculum. Kegonsa principal Fred Trotter said school officials have calculated that amounts to 29,164 two inch-by two-inch squares of the well-known pink, yellow or purple notes that many use as reminders or labels. Based on a count of notes in one of those packs, that amounts to 1,429,036 individual Post-It notes, according to an extrapolation by the Hub. Its safe to say, its a lot. But Kegonsa students wont be using these notes as reminders; theyll be using them to mark passages and vocabulary words in books they read for class, specifically through the Readers Workshop program the district has instituted at elementary school as part of its broader emphasis on literacy. Before, students and teachers had to be conservative with their Post-it notes because of cost constraints. Now we are going to be able to use them with abandonment, said Trotter, who also noted that Kegonsa sent some of the notes to Sandhill and Fox Prairie elementary schools. The Readers Workshop model can vary by classroom, but the program broadly calls for independent reading time, where students keep a journal about what they think or

feel about the materials they are reading, and for sharing time with other students about their journal entries. Conferences with teachers are also often part of the program. The district has placed an emphasis on reading in recent years, in part because of its status as a foundational skill. New assessments and more materials in the school libraries are part of that effort. Trotter said the school was able to land the notes because the spouse of one
of Kegonsas educational assistants works for the printing company. The notes that went to Kegonsa were about to be recycled when the company heard about the need here. The school then asked a parent with a dually truck to collect the notes, which ended up being about several pallets worth. As for how long these notes will last Kegonsas young readers, well, thats hard to forecast. Its hard to say, Trotter said.

Spring is here in Stoughton

A fresh start for all that is in Gods creation. Now that Ive lived 78 years in Stoughton, I feel blessed to soon celebrate my 60 years since I graduated from high school. When I delivered the Capital Times evening newspaper as a child, I had so many good Stoughton people on my route. I dont know of a single person on that route that is still living today - but of course, many of their descendants are very much alive. Stoughton was a vibrant community in my childhood days. Downtown was a busy place with a dozen or more grocery stores, barber shops, dime stores, ice cream and soda fountain, drug stores and many more specialty shops - including a meat market. Our population was 5,000 at that time - compared to almost 13,000 on todays signs at the edges of our city. Stoughton was a nice place to live - just as today Stoughton is a nice place to live. God has blessed both Stoughton and myself for reasons that may never be completely understood. But Im glad God did. In my childhood, we had a wonderful school system, and today we have one, too. Our city government was honest and approachable, just as it is today. Ive been blessed by Stoughton Hospital and its staff. Its no wonder why people and families find Stoughton a good place to live. God has been merciful and forgiving to me in all ways. God bas made my sunset years very happy ones in Stoughton. Im thankful for all my true friends. May the spirit of love and forgiveness dwell in each and everyone of use as spring comes forth with its promise of new life and rebirth and its array of color and fresh, sweet smells. Know God is still on his throne - seeking only to love mankind and bless all who will trust him. Trust and love God today - Jesus will give all who ask - peace and eternal life has He promised in his word (the Bible) John 3:16. Look it up and be blessed. Neal Larson Stoughton

hile you cant control your genetic risks, what you put into your body can really decrease your odds of heart disease. Your hearts health is connected to your fork. A persons biggest concern should really be how much saturated fat they are consuming. Saturated fat is a component of plaque which clogs up your arteries and contributes to heart disKumlien ease. A Mediterranean diet is recommended because its low in red meat which contains lots of saturated fat. Instead of red meat, choose lean poultry with the skin removed and lowfat dairy. The Mediterranean diet is high in plant-based foods with lots of grains, fruits and vegetables. Its basically the American diet turned upsidedown. Its not that Americans dont want to lead healthy lives. With busy schedules, often the fastest and sometimes cheapest option is to choose fried, fatty foods from the fast-food dollar menu. Take breakfast for instance. A lot of people have bacon and eggs or stop at a drive thru or convenience store for a quick grab. But a healthier choice that follows the Mediterranean diet would be shredded wheat with skim milk and fruit on top or low-fat yogurt with frozen berries - so its essentially making healthy choices as the day
Your hearts health is connected to your fork W

progresses. And if you dont have the time to sit at home and eat, make sure those healthy foods are convenient. Keep pretzels or raisins in the car. Its a much healthier option to tide you over than French fries. And when it comes to meals, take time to plan out what youll eat a week in advance so youre not scrambling to find whatevers convenient at eight oclock at night. Make planning your weekly menu like the laundry or dishes. You know you have to do these things and you plan ahead to make sure they get done. Choose those healthy meals in advance so the food is already in your home. Sometimes a lifestyle change can seem overwhelming. Start by making just a few changes at a time to get this process started and once you start, youll feel so much better you wont want to stop. So what are the three top changes you can make to reduce your risk of heart disease? 1. View cheese as meat. A lot of people look to it as a dairy product, but it has so much of the artery-clogging saturated fat, you should really view it as a meat. When indulging in cheese, choose reduced-fat/ low-fat/light cheese whenever possible. 2. Cut out or cut down on the amount of red meat you eat. The Mediterranean diet calls for red meat just one to two times a month. If youre eating that many servings in a week or even a day, slowly decrease the amount you eat from once a day
Hospital corner
The Keys to a Healthier Heart
Stop smoking Adopt the Mediterranean diet Reduce your red meat consumption Use olive oils when cooking Increase the number of fruits and vegetables you eat Get plenty of exercise to once a week and then once or twice a month. 3. Finally, incorporate as many fruits and vegetables into your day as possible. This will mean youre getting more fiber, youre getting a wide variety of vitamins and minerals and youre satisfying your hunger cravings. As a result, youll feel fuller and you wont want to eat as much of those high fat, high sugar foods. And for those who think theyll never be affected by the number one killer, theyre fooling themselves. Heart disease is extremely unfair. It randomly picks its prey and often picks on the person who eats poorly and smokes. Thats why you have to recognize your own bad habits and change them because heart disease can strike anyone at any age. Autumn Kumlien is a registered dietitian at Stoughton Hospital.

Members of the Stoughton High School Forensics team gather after winning the Badger South Conference tournament last month, the second straight year the team has captured that honor. The team will compete in two statewide tournaments on April 19 and 20.
Janssen nabs top Girl Scouts honor

A Stoughton Girl Scout has earned the organizations top honor, according to a news release. Girl Scout Dorie Janssen, Troop 2635, recently earned the p r e s t i gious Girl Scout Gold A w a r d , the highest national award a G i r l Janssen Scout can earn, for a research project she did to promote better female relationships by curbing unkind and competitive behavior between girls, the release said. I want to help upcoming generations of girls learn to be strong, kind and to leave behind the competition that happens between girls, Janssen said in that release. Janssen interviewed high school and college female students to better understand female bullying and other negative behaviors, and her findings centered on unhealthy competitions and expectations. She then created resources, including a website and a resource brochure, which was sent to all Dane County middle and high school guidance counselors and public libraries, to help women generate respectful attitudes toward one another. Janssen, who has been a Girl Scout for 13 years, was presented her Gold Award during a recognition ceremony this spring. Janssen also received 2013 Loretta Himmelsbach Scholarship, presented annually to a highachieving Gold Awardee who demonstrates a strong commitment to community service and education while upholding the Girl Scout Promise and Law, the release said. Nationwide, less than 5 percent of Girl Scouts achieve the Gold Award.
Forensics team heads to state again

By Derek Spellman
Stoughton High School will again be sending a full varsity team to the state tournament this year. Its the third straight year that has happened, said Mary Lusk, an SHS language arts teacher and a Forensics Team coach. SHS Forensics has won The Excellence in Speech Award the past 2 years, Lusk wrote in an email to the Hub. This is given to the teams that have the best
average scores. It is only given to the top 5 percent, so out of about 400 schools competing, about 17 schools receive the award. We are hoping for a repeat this year! This year, the team will be sending 36 students (a full varsity team of 25 entries) to the Wisconsin High School State Forensics tournament on April 19 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Last year, it sent 41 students. The schools forensics team has enjoyed success in recent years to go along
with growth in numbers. Five years ago, the team only had nine players. That number has since grown in part because full-time teachers have helped coach the squad and thus been able to recruit students and promote the program inside the high school halls. Forensics in this case does not pit students against each other in debates. Instead, students participate in categories that include poetry, recreating a scene from a
play, extemporaneous and informative speaking, and more. Judges then score their performance against certain criteria. Also later this month, the SHS Forensics team will compete in a separate state tournament hosted by Wisconsin Forensic Coaches Association on April 20 at Ripon. The team competed in that same tournament last year.

Thought for the week

The Bible provides us with many good examples of humanity. Adam, Moses, and Jesus are archetypes of humanity. But, it is also true that being human is radically different now than it was in Biblical times. Culture and technology have changed us to such an extent that being human in the modern world is fundamentally different than it was in the ancient world, or even a few hundred years ago. Our species may not have changed much in terms of biology, but in terms of psychology and culture, the differences are vast. This goes beyond such superficial questions as whether Jesus would have a Twitter account or a Facebook page were he alive today. Part of what defines us as human is that we are cultural beings. That is, we grow up within a culture and that particular culture is grafted onto us. This is one of the reasons why the humanities are important as an area of study. They help us to understand what it is to be human. Works of fiction are sometimes denigrated by those with a practical bent, but good fiction is often an exploration of what it is like to be a human being. Humanity is constantly reinventing itself, all the while questioning the implications of that reinvention. One reason to study the Bible is because it gives a number of very deep answers to the question of what it means to be human. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it. Ecclesiastes 8:17

FFA: Ag education celebrates long history in Stoughton; FFA hits 75 years

Continued from page 1 century. I would say its the difference between Earth and Mars, Wendt said.
100 years
True, a century ago kids still went to agriculture classes indoors and had textbooks. But in years past, the coursework focused on crop and livestock production and the mechanical aspect of farming, such as carpentry and metalworking, Wendt said. Today, schools like Stoughton offer specialized semester courses in agriculture, said Darlene Arneson, an alumna of the Stoughton FFA and ag in the classroom coordinator and foundation director at Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation. Today, students can learn not only about animal management but also about landscaping and natural resources management. When River Bluff Middle School overhauled its schedule in part to offer more electives, it cleared the way for Wendt to teach an animal science course and a natural resources class that focuses on how to help planet Earth, he said. The students dont have to be in FFA, the student agriculture organization, to take these kinds of classes, Wendt said. It could just be an interest of theirs, a hobby, he added. And compare the agriculture-related career opportunities students faced 100 years ago to the ones they face now, Wendt said, including genetics, hunting and fishing, parks and wildlife oversight, food packaging and processing, and water quality management. Its all agriculture, Wendt said. There are so many other offshoots to it. More students show an interest in agriculture partly because of the recession; agriculture weathered the downturn better than other industries, he said, and there is a big demand for people in agriculture training. Indeed, a 2010 study by Purdue University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasted that 54,000 agriculture-related jobs would be created in the U.S. every year through 2015, whether in the fields of food, renewable energy and the environment. Arneson said about 10 percent of the Wisconsin work force is employed in agriculture. We cant fill enough positions with qualified people, she said.
Right, Jerry Wendt, an agriculture teacher and FFA adviser, works with Stoughton High School sophomore Abby Wicks at an animal care class. Below Wendt shows the rich heritage of Stoughtons FFA program.

herself and five others. Now, Wendt said, a farmer can feed himself or herself and 155 other people. And things have changed with Stoughton High Schools agriculture classes, too. Wendt said the agriculture education program started in the 1912-1913 school year with a $250 grant from the state of Wisconsin. (The Stoughton chapter of the FFA would come later, in 1938.) At one time, the ag program was housed in just one room at the high school. Today, the schools agriculture education class has not only a classroom but also a greenhouse and a laboratory stocked with young ducks, snakes, rabbits, birds, a turtle and a tarantula. Students here can learn how to care for small or exotic animals and to rear plants. For those who want to be more deeply involved, there is also the local chapter of the FFA, the national youth organization that previously was known as the Future Farmers of America. The organization started referring to itself as FFA, Wendt said, in part to reflect that its members not only go on to be farmers but also enter a variety of agriculturerelated fields. The FFA just kind of complements that (agriculture education) with all the leadership opportunities, said Arneson, who is the secretary of the Stoughton FFA Alumni Association. FFA members learn not only about farming but also acquire skills in other areas, such as leadership and public speaking. Wendt said the group participates in about 60 activities throughout the year, everything from fairs to highway cleanup.
Modernity and tradition
Some things have definitely changed in agriculture over the last 100 years. Today, farming uses technology such as robotics, satellites and computers for crop and livestock production. A century ago, a farmer could feed himself or

Vikings aim for conference title with four returners

On course for conference 3-peat

Anthony Iozzo
Young doesnt always mean inexperienced, and that is the case for the 2013 Stoughton girls track team. The Vikings have several sophomores and juniors that played significant roles last season en route to a second straight Badger South Conference championship. With the young core primed to improve and the upperclassman taking leadership roles, it seems as though 2013 could be the year of the 3-peat. The team has set goal of obtaining a third conference title, and I firmly believe that should be an expectation as well, head coach Eric Benedict said. Its going to take the whole team to help us win the conference title since we lack a 40-point athlete like Brianna Bower in 2011. We set a goal to constantly get better every week with the idea that we will achieve the best marks/
jumps/times at the conference meet in mid May. But the Vikings were without an athlete such as Bower last season too and yet they were able to use their depth to grab as many points as possible en route to the 2012 crown. Field events have been some of the best for Stoughton in the past few seasons, and this season looks to remain on that level. Sophomore Hannah Posick returns to the pole vault, after finishing eighth at sectionals last season. She replaces graduate Ashley Alme, who made state, as the No. 1 vaulter on the team. Senior Haley Houser returns after making state in the shot put last season. She also finished fourth in the discus at sectionals, an event she advanced to state in as a sophomore. Sophomore Alexus Crockett will also take part in both the shot put and the discus this season. On the jumps, sophomore Megan
Reese looks to better her sectional finishes from a year ago. She tied for fourth in the long jump and took sixth in the triple jump. Junior Maren Schultz will also be doing the triple this season, as well as the high jump. Sophomore Kezia Miller returns to take part in the long jump. The relay teams also look to continue past successes, with the entire state-qualifying 4x800-meter and sectional qualifying 4x400-meter relay teams returning. Senior Devan Montgomery, junior Katherine Rude, sophomore Kelsey Jenny and sophomore Nikki Staffen all led the 4x8 to state last season, while junior Hannah Sonsalla, Jenny, Montgomery and Reese took fourth in the 4x4 at sectionals in 2012. Staffen also brings back some distance accolades. She made state in the 1,600-meter run after a firstplace finish at sectionals, and she added a fifth-place at sectionals in the 800-meter run. Sonsalla brings back some
sprinting experience with a state berth in the 200-meter dash after taking third at sectionals. Finally on the hurdles, senior Avery Jamison took sixth in the 100-meter intermediate hurdles, while sophomore Alexa Deutsch grabbed fifth in the 300-meter low hurdles at sectionals.
Conference outlook
The Vikings look to win their third straight title this year, but Madison Edgewood and Monona Grove and Oregon also look to be tough, Benedict said. Some key dates in the season are: vs. Fort Atkinson and Monroe at Fort Atkinson High School (April 16), vs. Milton (April 23), at Fort Atkinson (April 26), at Monona Grove (April 30), Stoughton invitational (May 3), vs. Fort Atkinson and Oregon (May 7), Oregon invitational (May 10) and the Badger South Conference meet (4 p.m. May 14). All meets besides the conference meet are at 4:30 p.m.
The Stoughton boys golf team has come close to catching Madison Edgewood atop the Badger South Conference in the past, but none were closer than last seasons second-place finish. With four returning letterwinners, including senior No. 1 Henry Klongland, head coach Dave Taebel said the expectations are high. The conference will be tough, but we hope to put ourselves in position to win the title at the conference meet, Taebel said. Klongland returns after finishing tied for second at the WIAA Division 1 state meet last season. Having Klongland leading the way is not a bad place to start, Taebel said. He has been real impressive in the couple of times we have gotten on the course, and I think his intense offseason training regimen will pay dividends. Seniors Peter Campbell and Anders Tiffany and junior Max Fergus all saw time on the course for the varsity squad. Fergus is someone who showed some great play in flashes last year, and I know he will be a little more consistent this year, Taebel said. ... Anders Tiffany and Peter Campbell also have a ton of potential and experience so we look to them to provide some solid play for us as well. The battle for the No.

Stoughton boys tennis finished last out of the seven teams in the Badger South Conference dual meet season a year ago. Though the Vikings eventually moved into a sixth-place tie after adding in the scores from the Badger Conference meet, head coach Ryan Reischel has much loftier goals this season. With seven of 10 varsity spots returning from a year ago, Reischel foresees the Vikings contending for a top three finish within the conference this season. Madison Edgewood lost a lot of talent, but theyll reload and be tough again, he said. Oregon has some talented singles players and Milton always seems to put together a strong team.
With the depth we have this year, I think we can sneak in there somewhere this season though, or at least take fourth, if we happen to have a bad match along the way. Stoughton returns three of its singles flights from last season, though the lineup wont look very familiar to start the season. Senior Elijah Thunell and junior Tanner Kahl will switch spots atop the Vikings singles lineup. Playing last season at No. 2 singles, Kahl was one of eight varsity players to improve their game by hitting over the winter. As such, he will take over at No. 1 singles this season. Tanner really upped his game over the winter, Reischel said. He has been doing

The Stoughton boys track and field team loses a lot from last season, but it also adds depth with 25 incoming freshman and 63 total athletes. In our first indoor meets, we had two players place in the top eight for shot put the first time thats happened since I took the head coaching job, head coach Nate Nelson said. We also have
depth at sprints, horizontal jumps and distance, and they showed in the indoor meets that they can compete. Graduates Zach Hershey, Kashden Nelson, Trevor Richard, Gus Giese and Hunter McChristian all made state last season, with junior Luke Logan the only returner with state experience. Logan finished second at sectionals in the high jump to make state, and he looks to make it back this
season. Logan also made state with the 4x400-meter relay but is the only returner from the group. The Vikings also graduated Patrick Lessor, a sectional qualifier. The 4x800 relay was a sectional qualifier last season, but the only returners are senior Jacob Roe and sophomore John McCune. Senior Shane Rowley looks to replace Hershey in the sprints (100, 200),

Continued from page 10 a real nice job of stepping into his approach shots and following into the net behind them. Its something you dont see enough of in high school tennis. Thunell meanwhile, moves back to No. 2 singles, while Matthew Gharrity steps in at No. 3 singles. Freshman Asher McMullin is expected to step in at No. 4 singles. Asher has some nice, fluid strokes, but is still raw coming in as a freshman, Reischel said. Seniors John Evans and Justin Bubba Shaffer are back for their final go round at No. 1 doubles. The only Vikings to enter last seasons Badger Conference boys tennis tournament at Nielsen Tennis Stadium with a seed Evans and Justin Shaffer managed just one win, defeating Oregons Nick Hepner and Alexander Nasserjah in the rubber match, 6-3, 6-2 at No. 1 doubles. Evans and Shaffer though faced a tall order in the quarterfinals falling 6-1, 6-2 to third-seeded Justin Couey and Dave VanVeen of McFarland. One dubs, just like our 1 and 2 singles spots, should also do very well for us, Reischel said. Theyve been playing varsity for a long time. Reischel also liked what he saw from his 2 doubles team of senior Manuel Calzada and junior Austin Scheel last Thursday at Madison La Follette. Austin is an even-keeled player, who just picked up the sport last season, said Reischel, who hopes the tandem can develop a nice game together around the experience of Calzada. Thunell, Shaffer, Evans and Calzada are the only four seniors on the team. Three doubles remains up for grabs, though junior Isaac Landers has shown himself to be an early frontrunner. Isaac is really athletic, having played soccer, Reischel said. Hes raw, having only started playing tennis last year, but hes a quick learner. Stoughton hits its first shot of the conference season at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at home against Monona Grove. The Vikings host the Stoughton Invitational at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, May 4, before traveling to Oregon at 4:30 p.m. May 7 and then hosting Madison Edgewood the following Friday to closeout the dual meet season. The Crusaders, who advanced all the way to the state team tournament, graduated seven state qualifiers from a year ago, including eventually doubles state champions Ben Winding and Tyler Piddington, No. 1 singles player Patrick Carney and Zach Munns. Edgewood, however, should be able to reload behind the talents of returning state qualifier Billy OBrien, a sophomore singles player, and Patrick McKenna, who along with Barney went 24-3 last season. Oregons ability to contend for a conference title this season will start with its singles lineup where the Panthers return all four starters, who advanced into the conference semifinal round last year.

Barhke takes reins of young squad

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Steve Barhke has 20 years of coaching experience and a year of Stoughton JV coaching, but this season marks his first as Stoughton varsity softball coach. A JV assistant with the Vikings a year ago, Bahrke inherits a young team looking to make some noise, while the coaching staff is looking to instill a new philosophy. Overall, we are young and determined to make a difference in the Badger South Conference, Bahrke said. As a new coaching staff, we will be looking to our returning players for their team leadership and winning attitude this season. Since day one, Bahrke has instilled two things to his team: all positions are up for grabs and everything the team does, they do together. Though he added that senior pitcher Casey Beckwith, senior shortstop Emily Auby and junior Mckenzie Harnack all figure to be centerpieces for the Vikings this season. Sophomore Sarah
Seaton and Beckwith figure to once again give Stoughton one of the top pitching duos within the Badger South Conference. Freshman Holly Brickson will also see time in the circle, Bahrke said. Auby figures to again be the teams shortstop, but beyond that everything is up in the air. Senior Amy Hansen (IF), juniors Suzy Brickson (OF), Cassie Adams (1B/OF), Mackenzie Quale (OF), Payton Gross (INF/OF), Allie Moe and Bethany Veum (OF) lead a solid group of returners. Sophomores Madi Sehmer and Katelyn Marshall, as well as freshman Samantha Tepp, also bring an influx of young talent. They all should be in the mix for playing time. Our goal is to play fundamentally sound softball on a consistent basis and compete at a high level with emphasis on growth and maturity, Bahrke said. Bahrke said the girls have responded to a new coaching staff and change in regime very well so far. Strength and conditioning is going to be very important to us this year,

It had been a while since the Stoughton girls soccer team won a Badger South Conference match, going 0-11-1 in 2010 and 2011. Last year, that winless streak ended with a win over Monona Grove. Stoughton also doubled its win total from the previous year (7-15 overall, 1-5 conference). This season, head coach Dave Wermuth said he expects the Vikings to once again improve and possibly win a few more conference games. That success starts in the net with senior goalie Steph Myszkowski. Myszkowski kept Stoughton in several games last season picking up 150 saves (.930 save percentage) while allowing .63 goals per game. Stoughton does lose graduated defender Layne Jackson, forward/ midfielders Rachel Ott and Carrie Ripkey, but the Vikings do have junior forward/midfielder Hayley Bach back to take on some of the offensive load. Bach finished with seven goals and five assists (19 points) last season. Senior forward Amanda Hoff only scored one goal last season, but she is expected to get more minutes this year to help the scoring. Sophomore forward Celia Holton expects to add depth at the position. Junior defenders Sydney Raisbeck and Hailey Everson are also expected to get more minutes to replace Jackson, while sophomore

Kiah Ehrke
School/Sport: UW-Madison/Distance runner Year: senior Stoughton grad: 2009 Major: Dietetics
Stoughton graduate Kiah Ehrke has been a distance runner at the University of Wisconsin- Madison after coming out of the Stoughton High School program in 2009. Ehrke recently answered a questionnaire for the Courier Hub about her time at UW-Madison. Here are her answers: CH You had several options before you after high school. What made you settle on UW? KE I visited numerous colleges in the Midwest but ultimately Madison was the right fit for me. I loved the atmosphere of the city, the academics, my teammates, coaches and being so close to home. CH As a four-time state qualifier in both track and cross country in high school, what has the transition been like to a major D I college? KE The transition was pretty shocking at first. My workouts didnt even compare to my workouts in high school. My mileage increased and the pace of daily runs was much faster. What was called an easy run did not feel easy. I did adjust, but it took some time. I felt as if every day I was proving myself, having to earn that spot on the bus or flight to the next meet. But thats what was awesome about it. The atmosphere on the team was something I never had before. I loved having the opportunity to run with girls every day that were better than me. CH You didnt compete during the 2010 cross country season or 2012 indoor track season. Was that a result of injuries? What was the extent of the injuries? KE The summer after my freshman year I had a stress fracture in my femoral neck (hip area). This was the first time since I started running (7th grade) that I was sidelined with an injury. It was devastating, and it took a good six months to recover. I redshirted my sophomore year of cross country due to that. Ive had a couple minor injuries since then. What Ive learned is that the most important thing for me is just to stay healthy. When running at a high-level, Division 1 University, injuries are very common. Being injured has taught me so much and made me so much more appreciative of the experience Ive had. Im so thankful that Ive had the opportunity to compete at a high level and be a part of a great team. It has given me so many opportunities and memories. CH Wisconsin finished 12th in the final Terry Crawford Program of the Year Award standings after putting together a strong year from cross country to indoor track and field to outdoor track and field. What does this say about the state of the program and the direction coach Jim Stintzi has things going?
New coach, high expectations

Wollin takes over for father to become third SHS lacrosse coach
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughton boys lacrosse seniors (from left) Zander Gunderson, Bryce Vike and Tom Wisersky hope to lead the Vikings program further into the playoffs this season than every before.
Stoughtons boys lacrosse program has come a long way from a team that was barely able to field 10 starters its first season in 2002. A co-op with Oregon for two seasons, lacrosse became a school sport for the first time in 2012 before going on to finish the year right around the .500 mark. Looking for a new coach at that time, Stoughton turned to former player Josh Wollin. Now fielding a JV, varsity and youth team that are showing tremendous growth, Wollin said we have very high expectations for our varsity team this year, as I expect
Stoughton to go the farthest we have ever gone in the state tournament. Stoughton, which opened its season Saturday as the varsity lost 11-6 to Mukwonago, while the JV team lost 7-6 in overtime, is believed to have only ever won one game in the tournament before being eliminated. The Vikings will have to wait to build a rivalry with this seasons newly created Oregon boys lacrosse program as Tuesdays game was postponed to Thursday, May 2. This spring has been very frustrating, not being able to get outside for practice or games, senior Tom Wisersky said. A few extra weeks until facing the Panthers wont do anything to lighten what should quickly become a heated rivalry. It will probably start out as a rivalry just between a
few players, but I think it will quickly spread across both teams, Bryce Vike said. We definitely want to run up the score on them. Starting out just over a decade ago, the Vikings fielded only a JV team that first season, not because of lack of numbers but a lack of experienced placers. Numbers that first season were still pretty low, though, as athletes had to take turns playing defense or attack just so they could rest. Interest has increased as several players have been drawn from other sports or are using the fastest game on two feet to stay in shape for other sports. Playing 10 seconds out of every game in baseball was getting boring, Vike said. Lacrosse is non-stop. As a result, conditioning is a big part of the sport. Youre constantly
starting and stopping back and forth, Vike added. A Vikings football player, senior Zander Gunderson said he liked the physical nature of lacrosse and that his time in the weight room serves dual purpose. Thats what led Wollin to the sport back in 2005. (Coach) Mike Dryer was my football coach at the time and was trying to get me to do something in the offseason, Wollin recounted. He intrigued me right off the bat. Having only a JV team at that point, Wollin started out playing alongside Sanford Erdahl, a goalie, who started the previous year and is now his assistant coach with the Vikings. Josh led the team in scoring during the 2007 season under the direction of his father, David, before injuring his knee and missing all of his senior year.

The campaign did feature some differences among the candidates, most notably on the new employee handbook that the board approved last year to replace agreements that had been collectively bargained before new state legislation all but ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers. That handbook lacked some of the protections sought by teachers. But Sullivan and Freye said do not mistake differences of opinion on a policy issue as symptoms of deep community divisions.

For me specifically, I think people like the fact that I prefer listening to talking and tend to be brief and direct in answering questions. The incumbents also highlighted what others, including their challengers, have said: the district needs to sell itself and its successes more, particularly with the need to boost enrollment. The incumbents tried to highlight those successes: a new fabrication laboratory at the high school, new online education programs, more dual credit options, good marks on the states new report cards and a new strategic plan. But Dirks said the district has not done as good of a job as it can or should of trumpeting that progress. We have to do a better job of selling ourselves, said Dirks, noting the implications for the district if it seeks voter support for a referendum, which it is expected to do. a central issue. Grasse had argued that the new employee handbook and stalled Sullivan contract negotiations were causing the district to lose qualified staff. The incumbents disputed that Freye assertion and defended the steps taken to solicit staff input on the handbook. I think it (the handbook) was a factor in the election, Grasse said. On the campaign trail, people were very aware of the difference between a contract reached by bargaining between both sides and a handbook, where all power vested in one side, she argued. Tarpinian, who was first elected to the board in April 2010 with Dirks, had a different experience. Whenever she raised the handbook on the campaign trail, More times than not, people would say, Whats the handbook issue? she said. And Tarpinian said some of the other issues raised during the campaign could pale in comparison to some of the other issues confronting the new school board particularly the shortfall the district will face once the referendum backed by voters in 2010 expires next year. after under a worst-case scenario, although superintendent Tim Onsager said Monday night that any figure at this point would be a best guess until the final state budget is passed. The school board has not yet voted on whether to seek a referendum or discussed that prospect at length, in part because so much can depend on what happens at the state level. The board has publicly thrown its support behind school finance reform and hosted presentations about Wisconsins school finance system, however, as part of a broader effort to show much of school funding falls outside local control. Dirks had said part of the problem with ramping up a referendum campaign now is that the district would not be able to answer the first and perhaps biggest question from taxpayers: how much will it cost? Bev Fergus, who was appointed to the school board earlier this year but came up short in her bid to be elected in her own right, said every single candidate (knew) there has to be a referendum, but speculated that perhaps the boards caution was interpreted as something different during the election. Yet even supporters of the referendum have voiced fears that any measure could be a tough sell in these tough economic times. Fergus, who said she tried to steer clear of politics in this election and might have paid a price for it at the polls, said failure to pass one could be devastating. I cant even imagine it (the referendum) not passing, she said. We have to do that. Yikes, I dont even want to think about the ramifications of it not getting passed.

District 4 was without a candidate seeking re-election after current alder Eric Olstad had filed for non-candidacy. That didnt stop voters from writing his name in three times to give him a seat on the Common Council. However, Olstad said Tuesday that he planned to not accept the seat, as he didnt have the time to give the council his full attention. Voters in District 1 gave Sonny Swangstu 368 votes. Ron Christianson was reelected in District 2 with 297 votes. Tom Majewski, who had failed to file for candidacy to get his name on the ballot, garnered enough write-in votes, 88, to win his seat in District 3.
Communication
In follow-up interviews with the Hub, the other candidates tended to agree with that assessment. Grasse, a veteran educator with the Madison Metropolitan School District, said that maybe there are some differences that need to be hammered out after the new board is seated April 22 but that she also believed everyone would come out of this in really good shape. The three board incumbents argued they were outspent by well-organized campaigns backed by political organizations and some unions in a low turnout election (turnout in the City of Stoughton was 20 percent). But most of the volunteers who helped the challengers distribute campaign literature were actually friends of the candidates, while Freye wrote in an email to the Hub that the challengers mounted a

Forde to present at national conference

A University of Wisconsin-Platteville student from Stoughton will help present a research paper at American National Technical Exhibition and Conference (ANTEC) in Cincinnati, Ohio, from April 22-24, according to a release from the university. Luke Forde, a senior industrial technology management major from Stoughton, will present a paper he co-authored with two other UW-Platteville students on the use of lignin as an environmentally friendly additive and colorant in polypropylene materials. The other students are Bryce Blackbourn, senior industrial technology management major from Shullsburg, Wis.; and Nicholas Anderson, senior manufacturing technology management major from Sycamore, Ill. The university said that ANTEC is a large conference with representatives from industries and universities around the world. Our students will be shoulder to shoulder with the most knowledgeable scientists in the industry, Majid Tabrizi, UWPlatteville industrial studies professor, said in the news release. Its a great achievement. The trio started on the project as part of their Technology Excursion course at UW-Platteville and then developed it further at the universitys Center for Plastics Processing Technology Lab. They first presented their project to the American Science and Technology foundation, which is currently seeking a patent for the technology. The trio was selected to present at the ANTEC conference by a review board. Forde is expected to graduate from UW-Platteville this year. He is also a certified firefighter with the Platteville Fire Department.

Mary Ann Anderson
surrounded by her loved ones Friday, April 5, 2013. Mary was born to Joseph and Laura (Myklejord) Olson in Stoughton Nov. 23, 1938. She lived in Stoughton her entire life and took pride in her Norwegian heritage. Mary attended Stoughton High School from 1954-57. On August 10, 1968, Mary lovingly took Wayne D. Andersons hand in marriage. They enjoyed 45 years of marriage and loved Mary Ann Anderson their family life. They raised their daughters, Terri and Tamara, and were very M a r y A n n ( O l s o n ) proud of all their accomAnderson, age 74, peaceful- p l i s h m e n t s . M a r y w a s ly passed away at her home always there when her girls came home from school and spent time talking to them about their day. She put her family first and loved being a homemaker in every sense of the word. She was an incredible teacher in the school of life. Mary loved baking and cooking for her family and took great happiness in making their birthdays a very special day. She loved the holidays and always made them festive. She loved to have fun and was known for her wonderful laugh. For the past 29 years, she was honored to be called Grandma Mimi by her three grandchildren and was the heart of her family. In 2004, they were blessed with the birth of their great-grandson, Aden Venden. With Aden came another opportunity to enjoy what a child brings to life. Mary loved her children and grandchildren unconditionally and was always the voice of reason when they were struggling with decisions. She always listened and gave advice that inspired them to do the right thing. Mary loved camping and canoeing in the Wisconsin state parks and being in the outdoors. Mary and Wayne loved to take their grandchildren camping and taught them to enjoy being in nature. They loved going to Door County and enjoyed going to a fish boil. She liked to travel and enjoyed trips to several regions in the United States. In 2001, Mary traveled with her daughter, Tamara, and her family to the Dominican Republic. It was a trip that she enjoyed, and she spoke of often sharing her wonderful experiences there. She truly enjoyed her trip to the Caribbean Island and loved getting to know the natives there. In addition to her family, she enjoyed her friends. She liked going out for a meal and shopping with her best friend, Barbara Friske. They had a wonderful friendship that she cherished. Mary enjoyed her time working for Schoonovers Hardware Store and Toms Main Street Market in Stoughton. She took great pride in her work and being a part of local businesses. Mary is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Wayne; her daughters, Terri Venden and Tamara (Norward) Steffen; her grandchildren, Cailea (Chris Fox) Showers, Kyle Venden and Garen Showers; great-grandson, Aden Venden; her sister, Joan (Norman) Zee; her brother, Dale Sandmire; brother-in-law; Wyman Anderson and sister in laws Marlene Olson, Nancy Olson, Diane Benson as well as many nieces and nephews. Mary was preceded in death by her daughter, Tina; her brothers, Robert, Richard and David; her father, Joseph; and her beloved mother, Laura Grace Olson. Mary loved her brothers, sister, nieces and nephews and was so proud to be part of the family that she grew up with. It gives her family great comfort that Mary is now with the people in her family that passed before her. She is surely enjoying her reunion with them. Marys surviving family would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the medical community for being an incredible comfort and wonderful support system. We would like to thank Agrace Hospice for making her transition what Mary wished it be. A memorial luncheon celebrating Marys life is tentatively planned for May 4, 2013. Her family would love for all those interested to come and share stories of love for Mary. It was Marys wish for her friends and family to come together for one last meal at her table. An announcement will be released in the near future in the Stoughton Courier Hub and the Wisconsin State Journal. Cress Funeral & Cremation Service 206 W.
