The Common Council last week approved an

offer to purchase the former MillFab property that
the citys Redevelopment
Authority had recommended in March.
The city is offering
$700,000 for the 6-acre
property, which officials
see as part of a redevelopment strategy for land
along the Yahara River
near downtown Stoughton.
MillFab/Holley Mouldings Inc. ceased operating
the facility on the site in
September, and the property is in receivership.
The offer to purchase
is contingent on results
of testing the property for
environmental contamination and requires the sellers
to remove any hazardous
substances and petroleum
products from the site at

Lynne Diebel takes a break from constant paddling against the Wisconsin River current and decides to pull the canoe upstream.
A paddlers story
Diebel publishes another book about rivers
Bill Livick
Lynne Diebel didnt set out to

become the author of five books
after retiring from teaching English
at Stoughton High School in 1998.
Things just evolved that way,
she said.
Her latest book, Crossing the
Driftless: A Canoe Trip Through a
Midwestern Landscape, was published in March by University of
Wisconsin Press. It recounts Lynne
and her husband Bobs 359 rivermile paddling journey from Faribault, Minn. where the family has
a summer home to their home in
Stoughton.
The couple spent 12 days in the
summer of 2009 making the trip
because its the sort of thing they do
for fun and adventure. They didnt
initially think of it as an opportunity
for Lynne to write another book.
It was a personal trip, and we did
it for ourselves, she told the Courier Hub. Somewhere along the trip,
Bob said, You could write a book
about this.
By 2009, writing about rivers and
canoe trips was natural for Lynne.
She and Bob had spent three summers, 2003-05, paddling some
3,000 miles on rivers in Minnesota,
always with Bob in the stern and
in 2007, both by Trails Books, formerly based in Black Earth (and

now in Boulder, Colo.).
But Lynnes latest book is much
more than a guidebook. Its a
descriptive story of the Diebels
journey and an explanation of rivers and their importance to the natural world and the people and towns
who rely on them. Its part history
lesson, part science class and part
travelogue, all in a witty and compelling read.
The book is filled with Lynnes
research about the ecology and
geology of rivers, their tributaries
and watersheds. And about how
people have misunderstood rivers,
neglected and harmed them in the
name of progress and development.
Rivers are somewhat invisible to most people, she observed.

City looks to rezone former MillFab lot

Change could
encourage
redevelopment
Mark Ignatowski
Citing concerns about

potential short-term uses
on the former MillFab
site, Planning Commission members on Monday
directed city staff to work
on rezoning the property to
foster redevelopment along
the Yahara River.
Staff will begin drafting
the rezoning documents
and posting a public hearing notice about the change.
A hearing is likely next
month.
Planning Commission
and Redevelopment
Authority member Scott
Truehl said the RDA would
like to see the change made
so no short-term industrial users move into the area
and delay the citys plans to
redevelop the site.
The MillFab lot, along
with the former Highway
Trailers building on East
South Street have been eyed
for redevelopment since the
city adopted a plan for the
area in 2009. The city made
a $700,000 offer to purchase the MillFab site last
week.
The rezoning wouldnt
lock the future owner of the
site into a certain use. City
planning and development
director Rodney Scheel said
the city would likely seek
to have the land zoned as
MR-24, a high-density
residential zoning classification. A developer could
ask to rezone the area and
even use the citys Planned
Unit Development process
to create a mixed-use development on the property.
Other action
The Planning Commission recommended several
items for Common Council
approval:
Commissioners recommended approval of a
development that would
extend Carl Avenue on the
citys north side.
The preliminary approval would be contingent on
more detailed measurements to figure out the
high water mark so utility
connections can be safely
made. The certified survey

maps wont be filed until
approved by the utility
company.
The commission also
gave a nod to a zoning
change on 100 block of
Isham Street. The change
allows for a duplex lot to
be built, should water and
sewer connections to the lot
be made in the future.
The Bryant Foundation got the commissions
recommendation to rezone
the lot across Page Street
to allow for parking at
the Norwegian Heritage
Center, which opens next
month.
Outdoor fired furnaces
would not be allowed in the
city limits under an ordinance change recommended Monday.

The pavement repair
work on Hwy. 51 will
require daytime lane closures using flagging operations, including in the City
of Edgerton. At least one
lane will remain open to
traffic in each direction.
Sometime in September
2015, Hwy. 51 will close
to through traffic in Edgerton for railroad crossing
work. A signed detour will

StoughtonCARES has the 4-1-1 on 420

Hey parents, do you happen to
know what the significance of 420
is for some of our youth?
It is a code-term that refers to
the consumption of marijuana.
Those that smoke marijuana
have some observances based on
this such as smoking around 4:20
p.m. on any day and then celebrating marijuana on 4/20. There are a
couple of stories as to how this all
started, but the origin started back
in 1971 and word has spread over
the years. This is something that
is celebrated in our community
by various groups of people that
smoke marijuana.
For some youth that means not

attending school that day so that
they can smoke marijuana and celebrate this day with their friends.
As an educational component
of StoughtonCARES we wanted
to share this information with the
community to bring awareness
to this date and to possibly start
some communication around marijuana between parents and their
children.

Downtown needs Stoughtons attention

The people have spoken. Our
downtown needs more attention
and preservation.
I moved here from Madison in
part because of the beauty and
activity in the downtown historic
district eight years ago.The pitch
back then that this was quite a
little hub for homegrown arts promotion.I see less and less of that
each year now.
The city council approved an
arts and entertainment district/
designation but what has been
done to promote it?
Could the city consider using
the light post planter hangers and
once again beautify our downtown with the hanging flower
baskets that once graced Main
Street?Edgerton is able to support
this effort but why not Stoughton? I believe the planters were
donated by our fine local greenhouses.
We see new, successful restaurants popping up and making
the commitment yet they are not
allowed to offer outside/streetside patio-style dining? Perhaps
allow limited hours a/or days of
the week? Take a risk and support these entrepreneurs and allow
them to promote their dining.
As it is the only outside activity
allowed in our entertainment district are the sidewalk smokers
lounges.

bit patronizing, but then maybe I

am among those who dont fully
understand TIF.
For instance, the case has been
made that the TIF wont place
any financial burden on Stoughton taxpayers. But new development (especially a large commercial center) certainly will bring
increased costs to the city, in the
form of basic services, beyond
what the base value of the property will support. If the incremental value is servicing TIF debt,
who exactly will be paying for
city services in KPW during the
repayment period?
TIF has also been justified
because it will be used to pay
for much-needed infrastructure
improvements. But of course

most of the improvements
that will actually be made are
only necessitated by KPW
itself.Couldnt the worlds largest retailer easily assume the true
cost of locating a store in a commercial district developed from
scratch?
Or maybe the TIF formula
isnt all that complicated, and
maybe Stoughtons voters are
more sophisticated than they are
being given credit for.

Referendums show need for downtown revitalization

For months, many of us have
been advising the Stoughton City
Council against the agreement
with the developer of Kettle Park

Many volunteers spent hours
researching what revitalization
strategies have worked in other
communities and what strategies
have failed.
In the end, many community
members felt that borrowing
millions in TIF for infrastructure development for Kettle Park
Third ward voters

have spoken
The third ward vote on the referenda was overwhelming and
decisive:
Referendum 1 Borrow $5.1
Million of TIF Funding:no, 430235
Referendum 2 Focus on
Revitalizing Downtown:yes, 535129
Referendum 3 Wal-Mart
Supercenter:no, 390-278
Look at those numbers. Heed
the voice of your people. Will you
persist in voting against the wishes of your constituents? Or will
you at long last represent us?
Who did you think you were
representing with the history you
have forged in supporting WalMart and KPW?
Do you have the courage to
change that history?
Steve Fortney
Stoughton
West was financially irresponsible and not in the best interest of

the Stoughton community.
Despite the overwhelming
number of presenters speaking
out for months against borrowing millions to develop Kettle
Park West, some members of
our council chose to ignore their
constituents, while claiming they
were speaking for the silent
majority. Clearly they were mistaken.
The referendums results must
be a wake up call to our council.

Its time to put an end to the lack
of accountability and arrogance
that has been demonstrated by
some members of our council.
Its time to listen to the citizens
of Stoughton before you spend
our money, and to focus our
tax dollars, time and energy on
downtown re-vitalization.
Lisa Reeves

City leaders should heed referendum results

Last week, the City of Stoughton had a few referendum questions to answer about the WalMart project being done here
using TIF monies.
The city answered the question with a resounding NO.
This should send a message to
all of our alderpersons and the
mayor that we dont want our
money spent on this project.
Also we voted NO on having the Wal-Mart store here.
Now we can see if our alderpersons and mayor will listen
to the residents here and do
what we want here in our town.

This is their job, to listen to the
residents here and carry out our
wishes when spending our
money.
If they dont do what we
request, then they must not be
really listening to the citizens
here.
Maybe next election here they
might get voted out of the city
council if they dont do what we
request them all to do?

The Excitement of a Challenge

I was recently involved in a situation
at work where we were given some
potentially bad news: there was serious concern over whether the school
where I teach would stay open. While
there was initially much expression of
concern, the mood soon turned positive, and I detected beneath the surface
even a hint of excitement. It reminded
me a bit of what happens when there is
a snow day and we all get the day off.
But, that clearly wasnt it, for almost
everybody had some concern over the
possibility of losing their job. I think
what was getting everyone excited was
the prospect of a challenge. While not
wanting to minimize the human suffering which is caused by natural or manmade disasters, there is something in
us that loves a challenge, and especially
one where we are called on to help our
fellow man. So, the next time you are
faced with a challenge, rise to the occasion and look on the bright side: facing
and overcoming this challenge just
might make you a better person.
Christopher Simon
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are
with me; your rod and your staff, they
comfort me.

Festival: Beer tent addition on Saturday has drawn concerns from StoughtonCARES
Laura Trotter said the addition of the beer garden
and other attractions is an
attempt to generate more
revenue for the festival by
adding more things to do
Saturday afternoon.
Beer garden
The Syttende Mai festival
had previously left alcohol
sales up to the local watering holes, but this year it
added the beer garden Saturday.
The tent will open at
noon Saturday, May 16,
and will serve adults over
the age of 21 until 9 p.m. in
the old St. Vincent de Paul
Society parking lot. The
second annual strongman
competition will take place
nearby that afternoon, Trotter added.
The addition of the beer
tent wasnt popular with
StoughtonCARES a group
that wants to reduce the
availability and attractiveness of drugs and alcohol,
according to its mission
statement. Members spoke
out against the proposal
when the liquor license was
approved by the Common
Council earlier this spring.
Trotter said she will meet
with StoughtonCARES
organizers to make sure
the event follows some of
the groups best practices
suggestions when setting
up and supervising the beer
garden.
Trotter said she thinks
the new beer garden will be
well-run since it will follow the model of the Coffee
Break festival beer tent that
the Stoughton Chamber of
Commerce has hosted for
several years.
Livreise opening
Saturday during the festival will also be a landmark
celebration for the new
Norwegian heritage center,
known as Livreise Lifes
Journey.
The building will have
its grand opening at 2 p.m.
Saturday, May 16, right
after the childrens parade.
Public tours will be given
from 2:30-6 p.m. Saturday
and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Sunday, May 17.
Volunteers
needed
While many
Stoughtonites lend a
hand during the annual
heritage festival, there
are still opportunities
to get involved
this year, festival
coordinator Laura
Trotter said.
The festival needs
volunteers to help out
during the Sunday
parade, particularly
at the corners of the
route to help direct
and control the
crowds and keep the
entries moving at an
appropriate speed.
Volunteers are also
needed Saturday to
help guide runners
along the route in the
city, Trotter said.
To volunteer, call
the Stoughton Area
Chamber of Commerce
at 873-7912.

Diebel: Canoe trip to Minnesota leads to fifth book for retired Stoughton teacher
Image submitted
Bob Diebels drawing of the route from Faribault,

Minn., to Stoughton a journey more than 350
miles by canoe.
The journey
about how much to put in the book and

what to leave out.
I leaned on a lot of people who know a
lot more than I do to write this, she said. I
depended on them.
One of her key sources on the science of
rivers was her son, Matt, a limnologist for the
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
He and I get in these long talks about
whats going wrong with the rivers and why,
and I couldnt help bringing some of that in,
she said.
Along with the science is history the natural history of the beautifully rugged Driftless area of southwestern Wisconsin that
escaped the last period of glaciation, and the
history of how the Madison area was developed around marshes and small lakes that
were turned into bigger lakes in the Yahara
River watershed.
Diebel brought those natural and historic
facts to life in her narrative of traveling from
a home in Minnesota to another home here in
Stoughton. In doing so, she breathes life into
rivers and the landscapes they traverse.
I envisioned the tributaries and the main
rivers we paddled as characters themselves,
she said. Ive spent so much time focusing
on rivers in the past decade that it seemed
that they belonged in the story as well.
And, as she mentioned in the preface to her
story, Lynnes favorite place to think about
rivers is in a canoe.
Although the paddling began on Minnesotas Cannon River, the idea for the Diebels
trip began at a small history center in Minnesota several years earlier, Lynne writes in the
books prologue. She and Bob, a retired engineer whos skilled at among other things
map making and boat building, had paddled
nearly 60 rivers in Minnesota, but always
downstream.
We had long talked of doing a river journey from place to place, using the river as a
travel route, paddling upstream as needed,
traveling to get somewhere, not just to float
downstream, Lynne wrote in the prologue.
In the history center, they unfolded a map,
and with his fingertip, Bob traced the river
route to our home in Wisconsin, which
would mean paddling upstream for days on
the Wisconsin River, once they reached it.
Bob noted that Indians and traders traveled
that way all the time, and so can we. He
suggested they could use portage wheels for
their canoe on back roads when necessary, as
it would be to get from Black Earth Creek to
Lake Mendota when they neared the end of
the journey.
Lynne said the idea had obsessed them
for several years, and on June 24, 2009, they
set off to fulfill the obsession.
The couple began the trip in Faribault (pronounced Fair-bow), a city about 50 miles
south of the Twin Cities. From there, they
paddled 78 miles down the Cannon River
to the Mississippi River, and then 164 miles
down the Mississippi to the Wisconsin River,
camping along the way.
Lynne described in vivid detail the views
of Mississippi River bluffs and barges. At one
point, in an effort to avoid strong winds and
the wake of the freight haulers, they paddled
too close to shore and suddenly found themselves capsized for only the second time in
their canoeing career.
After reaching the Wisconsin River at
Wyalusing, they paddled four days upstream
on to Arena, occasionally getting out to walk
and pull their canoe for a change of pace.
It was four days up the Wisconsin, Lynne
recalled, and you do not stop paddling when
youre going that way.
But paddling upstream was remarkably
doable, she added. I was full of angst about
it but it was completely doable.
They had intended to get on Black Earth
Creek and paddle it to Pheasant Branch
stream, but had to abandon the idea because
the creek was impassable.
So we called our son to give us a ride from
the Arena landing to Madison, she said.
He dropped the couple off at Pheasant

Stoughton.
Branch, which empties into Lake Mendota.

From there, it might have been easy to reach
the Yahara River, but strong winds on the
lake convinced the couple to spend a night
in Madisons Edgewater Hotel. (Lynnes
account of the hotel stay alone is worth the
price of the book.)
After a restful night, the Diebels paddled
through Madisons chain of lakes and on
down to Stoughton. Local readers may find
this section of the narrative particularly
interesting if a bit depressing as Lynne
explains how the city of Madisons past
wastewater practices have severely degraded
the water quality of the Yahara River, and the
lakes through which it passes.
That said, the book remains a moving,
insightful and often humorous story of the
local couples fascinating adventure through
the Driftless area via rivers both large and
small.
I wanted it to be a fun read because it was
a fun trip for us, Lynne said.
Badfish Creek group to build canoe landing

Bill Livick
adno=405500-01
The Friends of Badfish

Creek are working with the
state Department of Natural Resources to build a
canoe/kayak landing where
Old Stage Road crosses the
creek, about seven miles
southeast of Oregon.
Friends organizer Lynne
Diebel said the group is
open to anyone who would
like to volunteer to help
with the first step of the
project at 11:45 a.m. Friday, May 1.
Volunteers will be clearing brush to create a path
from a gravel parking lot on
Old Stage Road down to the
creek. They may also work
to clear an area for an informational kiosk, and assess
whats needed to build the
canoe landing area.
The Friends of Badfish
Creek have been working with the DNRs Andy
Paulios, the Badfish Creek
State Wildlife Area property manager, to organize the
project.
In March, Paulios
informed the group that the
DNR has funding to purchase signs and kiosks at
Dane County wildlife areas.
He suggested the group

could build a new kiosk at
the canoe landing parking
lot that we could manage
cooperatively along with
the new canoe landing.
Diebel took over as the
Friends chief organizer
several years ago after
founder Caroline Werner
no longer had time to commit to the effort. Since then,
the group has done invasive
species eradication work
along the creek, including
removing an aggressive
plant called Japanese knotweed at the bridge on Riley
Road.
The group has also
worked internally on a master plan for future activities.
Diebel, an author whos
written several guidebooks

on canoeing in Wisconsin
and Minnesota, also does
stream monitoring on the
Badfish Creek.
She said the group is
going to focus more on the
creek itself in the future,
which could include building more canoe landings.
The one were building
on Old Stage Road is the
first, she said.
One of the groups members, Jim Danky, donated a
canoe to the Friends, who
sold it on craigslist to raise
money for the canoe landing materials.
Diebel said she joined
Friends of Badfish Creek
after reading an article
about the organization in
the Stoughton Courier Hub.
I thought, heres a local
creek that I could do something with, she said. Its a
hidden gem. Its so beautiful, and its right here. If
feels wild and remote when
youre on it, and its a creek
that has been under appreciated, I think.

Obituary
James W. Wedeward
James W. Wedeward,
age 99, passed away Friday morning at Nazareth
Rehabilitation Center in
Stoughton.
Jim has been a Stoughton
resident for the last 40 years
and lived in his own house,
705 Eisenhower Road, until
five weeks before his death.
Before that, he was an Edgerton resident for more than
30 years.
Jim was born Jan. 27,
1916, in Marshall, the son
of the late Walter and Viola (Bredow) Wedeward.
He grew up in Lake Mills,
where he was a star high
school athlete and Junior
Olympic participant before
graduating in 1934.
He married Edgerton
native Marita Rader (then

a Lake Mills teacher) on
April 6, 1941, at the historic Little Brown Church
in the Vale in Nosha, Iowa.
They lived in the family
homestead, 206 Albion St.
in Edgerton, from
1942 until
1974, and
he was the
manager of
the Kroger Super Market
in Edgerton for more than
30 years until the company,
still the worlds largest grocery chain, pulled out of
Wisconsin.
While raising his four
sons in Edgerton, Jim also
joined the Lions Club and
was a member of that worldwide service organization
for more than 72 years, having split time between the
Edgerton and Stoughton
clubs. He received virtually all of the organizations
highest honors, including
the Melvin Jones Fellowship, for his dedication to
the Lions and is the only
member of the Edgerton
Lions Club ever to have
served as district governor, a
position he held in 1964-65.
Jim was a United States
Navy veteran of World War
II. He relived that Navy
experience in 2012 by joining his son, John, on the
renowned Badger Honor

Flight to the World War II
Memorial in Washington,
D.C.
Along with total devotion
to his family and the Lions,
one of Jims greatest passions was his love of golf.
He was widely known for
his impressively low scores,
well into an advanced age,
and continued to play even
into his 90s, with Towne
Country Club in Edgerton
and Coachmans Inn Golf
Resort his longtime home
courses. As a golf spectator,
the highlight of a lifetime
for him came in numerous years of attending The
Masters in Augusta, Ga. He
also was a spectator along
the 18th green at Cherry Hills Country Club in
Cherry Hills Village, Colo.,
in 1978 when Wisconsins Andy North clinched
his first of two U.S. Open
championships.
Jim also was an avid fan
of all sports and handed that
passion down to his sons.
He and his closest friends
were longtime season ticket
holders for University of
Wisconsin football, UW
basketball and the WIAA
state high school basketball tournament, where he
started his son, David, on
a trip that now has reached
his attendance at 61 straight

boys state basketball tournaments.

Several years after Maritas death in 1986, Jim
experienced one of the most
amazing developments in
his life. While attending a
Lake Mills alumni reunion,
he reconnected with
Annette Rockwell Harbour,
whom some had called his
high school sweetheart.
They were married on Bald
Head Island, S.C., in 1991
and were together for just
12 days short of 20 eventful years before her death in
2011.
Jim and Annette also lived
in the Stoughton home,
spent winters in Destin, Fla.,
and traveled extensively,
including time in Australia
to visit her sons family.
Jim is survived by three
sons, James Wayne (Betsy),
Sun Lakes, Ariz., David
(Letha), Janesville, and
John (Judy), Stoughton;
three grandchildren, Brooke
Wedeward, Lori Wedeward
and Staci (Sean) Oestreich;
two great-grandchildren,
Hunter and Hayden Oestreich; five step-grandchildren, Jack (Cathy) Femyer,
Shelley (Gary Wright)

Frye, Stephanie (Dean)
George, Sherri (Denis)
Gloede and Sarita Jordan;
11 step-great-grandchildren; four step-great-greatgrandchildren; and members of the Harbour family.
He was preceded in death by
his two wives, Marita and
Annette; his youngest son,
Steven Phillip, who was born
on Jims birthday, Jan. 27,
1954; his parents; his precious aunt and uncle, Irene
and Phillip Wooden; and his
close cousin, Harvey Wedeward.
Memorial services will
be held at7 p.m.on Thursday, April 16, 2015, at the
Albrecht Funeral Homes &
Cremation Services, Edgerton. The burial will be
at Maple Hill Cemetery
in Evansville at a later
date. Visitation will be
from4 p.m.until the start of
the serviceon Thursdayat
the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, donations would be welcome
for memorial funds being
arranged on behalf of the
Wisconsin Lions Foundation, as well as the Edgerton
and Stoughton Lions clubs.
The family would like
to thank Phoebe Baker, as
well as Jim and Diane Oles,
all of Stoughton, for the
loving care Jim received
from them in recent times.
A special thank you, too,
to the Nazareth Rehabilitation Center in Stoughton,
the Stoughton Hospital,
Dr. Joyce Brehm and the
Stoughton Senior Center
for all they did for Jim.

At 523,000 units, the

1929 Ford Model A twodoor sedan (sale price $525)
set records as the highest
U.S. production model car
-- a record that stood until
the 1970s.
But none of them are
quite like Jack Olsons
Henrys Crew Cab conversion -- the subject of a
four-year restoration project that won the top award
at the recent Weaver Auto
Parts Autofest in Madison.
The award has been a
long time in the making.
Olson bought the car or
the rusting hulk that was
left of it at a show in Oshkosh more than a decade
ago. From there, he saw
some changes he wanted to
make.
When Henry Ford
designed the Model A
sedan, it had a 102-inch
wheelbase. Now, thanks
to Olsons renovations,
Henrys Crew Cab
named in the honor of the
Ford founder has a 138inch wheelbase, intended to
match modern extended cab
pickup trucks.
To further the idea, he put
in another set of front doors
on the back, making a kind
of crew cab pickup look,
replacing the smaller jump
seats that used to be accessible only through the front
doors.
The two-door sedans
back side windows are bigger than the front door
thats how I came up with
the idea to build it, he said.
I just come up with ideas
from whats out there, or
whats popular.
It took about two years
to gather parts for the car,
using both reproduction
and original parts as needed, and another two years
to rebuild it. In between a
variety of other restoration
projects, of course.
When its on your own,
youve got to work nights
and weekends, Olson said.

Allliant Energy Center.
Lifetime love
For Olson, co-owner of
Olsons Auto Exchange,
located just west of the
city at 3347 Hwy. 138, cars
are in his familys blood,
as he and his brother John
worked on cars since before have co-owned the auto
they were old enough to exchange since 1977.
When you race 20 years,
drive. From 1976 to 1996,
Olson maintained the cars you learn a lot, he said.
In recent decades, hes
his brother raced. They
concentrated less on the

track and more on latemodel collector cars that he
buys, fixes and sells at the
store, which is chock full of
a variety of classic cars. At

the exchange, he features a
variety of vehicles for both
local people and regional
collectors, though he admits
to having a bit of a soft spot
for Fords when it comes on
restoring classic he said
perhaps his favorite project
was restoring a 1940 Ford,
which he liked because of
its design, only used for a
year. His restorations have
been used in movies before,
including a you guessed it
1952 Ford.
His latest project is putting a 1937 Ford front end
on a 1940 Ford pickup
truck.
But nothing in the collection shines quite as bright
as the recently dubbed 29,
which he gleams at like a
proud papa, talking about
a nervous trip back home
during a hailstorm that
turned out alright a few
years back.
This looks like it was in
production, doesnt it, he
said, noting a paint detailing message on back with
the cars name, Henrys
Crew Cab.
Henry got himself a
crew cab, he chuckled.

Baseball
Talent has Vikings poised for run to state
the track and field team this season.
Anthony Iozzo
Turnover in high school sports

can be tough to overcome in a
program, especially when losing
a No. 1 pitcher like Stoughton
graduate PJ Rosowski.
Rosowski is
now a punter on
the Wisconsin
Badgers football team, but
the future is still
bright for the Vikings
baseball team.
Seniors Alec Showers, Alex
Zacharias who is going to
play football at the University
of Wisconsin-Whitewater in
the fall Sam Ripp and Brady
Wanninger return to help on
the mound, while junior Ethan
Genter joins varsity after being
the ace of the JV staff in 2014.
But one of the key pieces for
a deep run in the postseason will
be the development of freshman
pitcher Dillon Nowicki a righthander that already is garnering
Division I interest.
Nowicki is poised to be successful at the varsity level with
two pitches a fastball that
hits 86 mph and a curveball.
The Prep Baseball Report has
Nowicki listed as a potential
ace by midseason, and if he
and the rest of the Vikings play
their best in the second half of
the season, a run at the Badger
South Conference and sectional
titles are attainable goals.

The returning letterwinners for the Stoughton High School baseball team (in no particular order) are: Brady Wanninger, Alex
Zacharias, Cade Bunnell, Ty Krueger, Tim Johnson, Jacob Johnson, Sam Ripp, Alec Showers and Michael Gerber. (Note:
Another returning letterwinner photo will be in next weeks issue of the Courier Hub).
Our expectations are to contend for the conference championship and make a deep run
into the playoffs, head coach
Jeremy Dunnihoo wrote in the
Courier Hubs preseason questionnaire . We know the teams
that make it to Appleton are the
ones who are playing the best
baseball at tournament time, and
we feel we can be right in that
mix with the rest of our tough
sectional.
Another strength for Stoughton is the depth with the position
players.
Senior Cade Bunnell a DI

recruit for Kansas State University is back to lead the infield.
Bunnell was a unanimous firstteam all-conference selection at
shortstop last season.
Zacharias not only pitches but
was also a first-team all-conference selection at third base
last year. Ripp also doubles as
a pitcher/infielder and is slated
to play second when not on the
mound.
Showers is an outfielder
when not pitching and returns
after earning a second-team
Girls track
all-conference selection for his

play in right field.
Seniors Jacob Johnson, senior
Tim Johnson and Ty Krueger
also return, while junior Jack
Nelson and freshman Brady
Schipper who is listed as a
catcher also look to contribute
this season.
Stoughton loses eight let terwinners from last season.

Austin Miller, Braden Poirer,
Michael Gerber, Josh Eugster,

The Badger South Conference

looks to be tough again this season. The Vikings are the defending champions after posting an
11-1 record in the conference in
2014.
Stoughton is a pre-season
favorite this year, ranked No. 11
in the state according to the Prep
Baseball Report preseason poll.
But Dunnihoo doesnt expect
to run through teams this season.
Oregon (8-4) returns senior
pitcher Mitch Weber who moves
into the ace role for the Panthers,
and the offense returns some key
pieces.
Monona Grove (4-8) is another team with depth at pitching,
while Fort Atkinson (8-4) is a
younger squad with an upside of
talent.
Milton (5-7) returns senior ace
Tyler Westrick and looks to be a
tough matchup, as well.
Stoughton travels to Fort
Atkinson on April 7 and hosts
Fort Atkinson on April 30. The
Vikings travel to Oregon on
April 16 and host the Panthers
on May 12.
Stoughton travels to Milton
on April 23 and host the Red
Hawks on May 19. The Vikings
travel to Monona Grove on April
21 and host the Silver Eagles on
May 22.

The rotation of young athletes for the Stoughton High

School girls track program
the past few years has led to
four straight Badger South
Conference titles.
This year looks to be no different. With 26 of 35 letterwinners back, the Vikings not
only look to win another conference title but to also repeat
as regional champions after
claiming the first regional
crown in school history last

season. Stoughton followed
that up by winning its second
sectional title in three years.

The Vikings made state as a team

Stoughton finished sixth overall

Conference preview
The Stoughton High School boys track and

field team was senior-heavy in 2014, but with
17 returning letterwinners seven seniors, five
juniors and five sophomores this season
looks to be different.
Seniors John McCune and Ryan
Sperle return after helping the
4x400 relay make state. Sophomores Tristan Jenny and
Nathan Moll were also on
the 4x400 as alternates.
Senior Giles France and
senior Patrick Reilly are back
to help
the 4x800, which qualified for sectionals last
season. McCune, and sophomroes Jackson
Hampton and Owen Roe were also on the
4x800 team.
Senior Brad Graffin made sectionals in
the high jump last season, and seniors Derek
Schultz and Ben Brandt are also back.
Juniors Max Quale (pole vault), Buck
Krueger (shot put, discus), Adam Krumholz
(high jump), Josh Hitchcock and Jakob Benson also return with sophomore Darvell Peeples (jumps).
Stoughton also added depth with the additions of senior Zach Hasselberger, juniors Collin Kraus and Alex Morris, sophomores Joe
Nelson (throws) and Garrett Model and freshmen Sam McHone, Tyler Dow and Joseph
DiBenedetto (sprints).
This years seniors have been meeting and
decided that we are going to compete this year
with an emphasis on the whole team contributing, head coach Craig Martens wrote in a
preview questionnaire. Our emphasis will be
on everyone competing and contributing to the
team in multiple events.
Martens takes over as head coach for Nate
Nelson, who stepped down to an assistant role
this year.
The Vikings finished fifth at the Badger

South Conference meet last season and hope to
get closer to the top in 2015.
The conference meet is a little more
wide open with 12 individual events
being won by graduates.
Monroe, Monona Grove and Oregon
are expected to be contenders for the conference title.
In the 100, MG sophomore Andryi Nahirniak (third) and Hitchcock (eighth) return,
while Nahirniak (third) and Oregon junior
Lucas Mathews (fourth) are back in the 200.
Monroe senior Cody Faust (fourth),
McCune (seventh) and Moll (eighth) are back
in the 400.
The 800 returns MG senior Terry McMillan (third), Oregon junior Chris Cutter (fourth),
McCune (fifth), Edgewood senior Morgan
OFlahrity (sixth), Oregon senior Benjamin
Vogt (seventh) and Monroe junior Derek
Christiansen (eighth).
The 1,600 returns OFlahrity (third), McMillan (fourth), Cutter (seventh) and senior Josh
Christiansen (eighth).
The 3,200 returns Fort Atkinson senior Luke
Burlingame (fourth), senior Josh Christiansen
(fifth) and Edgewood juniors Jaxon Todd (seventh) and Nathaniel Langlie (eighth).
Oregon senior John Hermus is back to
defend his 110 hurdles title, and Oregon junior
Alex Duff is back to defend his 300 hurdles
title. Milton senior Collin Weberpal was second in both events last year.
Milton (fourth) returns everyone from its
4x100 relay, but Oregon (second) and Fort
Atkinson (third) only return two. Defending
champion MG only returns one.
Milton (third) also gets everyone back from
its 4x200 relay.

MillFab: Purchase contingent on contamination removal

433 E. South St., including
electronics waste.
A city-commissioned
study of the land by Vierbicher Associates in early
March found high levels of
soil contamination in some
areas of the parcel. Vierbichers Gary Becker told the
RDA and the council the
site is developable, but he
also recommended further
study of the soil.
The first study showed
high levels of arsenic and
lead in the soil, as well as
those and other contaminants in the ground water.
The property is in the
citys Tax Increment District 5, and city officials
plan to use tax-increment
financing to purchase it.
The money would be paid
back through new and
increased property taxes
generated through redevelopment of the property.
Mayor Donna Olson told
the Hub she views the offer

Notice of the
Board of Review
For the Town of
Pleasant Springs
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the

Board of Review for the Town of Pleasant Springs of Dane County shall meet
on Thursday May 21, 2015, beginning at
5:30 p.m. at the Pleasant Springs Town
Hall, 2354 County Road N, Stoughton,
Wisconsin, for the purpose of reviewing
and examining the assessment roll of
real and personal property in said town,
and all sworn statements and valuations
of real and personal property therein,
and of correcting all errors in said roll
whether in description or otherwise, and
to perform such other duties imposed
by law.
Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the
Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board:
No person shall be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to
testify to the Board by telephone, or to
contest the amount of any assessment
of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written
request by certified mail of the Assessor
to view such property.
After the first meeting of the Board
of Review and before the Boards final
adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact, or provide information to, a member of the Board about the
persons objection except at a session
of the Board.
No person may appear before the
Board of Review, testify to the Board
by telephone or contest the amount of
assessment unless, at least 48 hours
before the first meeting of the Board
or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed
because the person has been granted a
waiver of the 48-hour notice of an intent
to file a written objection by appearing
before the Board during the first two
hours of the meeting and showing good
cause for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and files a written objection, that the person provides to the
Clerk of the Board of Review notice as to
whether the person will ask for removal
of any Board members and, if so, which
member will be removed and the persons reasonable estimate of the length
of time that the hearing will take.
When appearing before the Board,
the person shall specify, in writing, the
persons estimate of the value of the
land and of the improvements that are
the subject of the persons objection
and specify the information that the per-
son used to arrive at that estimate.

No person may appear before the
Board of Review, testify to the Board
by telephone or subject or object to a
valuation; if that valuation was made by
the Assessor or the Objector using the
income method; unless the person supplies the Assessor all of the information
about income and expenses, as specified in the manual under Sec. 73.03(2a),
that the Assessor requests. The Town of
Pleasant Springs has an ordinance for
the confidentiality of information about
income and expenses that is provided
to the Assessor under this paragraph
which provides exemptions for persons
using information in the discharge of
duties imposed by law or of the duties
of their office or by order of a court. The
information that is provided under this
paragraph, unless a court determined
that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the
right of inspection and copying under
Section 19.35(1) of Wis. Statutes.
The Board shall hear upon oath,
by telephone, all ill or disabled persons
who present to the Board a letter from
a physician, surgeon or osteopath that
confirms their illness or disability. No
other persons may testify by telephone.
Please note that, upon reasonable
notice, efforts will be made to accommodate the needs of disabled individuals through appropriate aids and services. For additional information, or to
request this service contact Clerk/Treasurer Cassandra Suettinger, at the Town
Hall, 2354 County Rd N, Stoughton,
WI, 53589-2873. Office hours: Monday,
Tuesday - 10am to 4pm, and Thursday

Election: Kettle Park West critics Engelberger, Hirsch win contested council races
means city borrowing to support the effort.
Still, its difficult to say
anything definitive about
public sentiment overall
when just 33 percent of registered voters went to the polls.
The councils 6-6 split over
KPW remains intact after the
election. But the results were
revealing of general public
opinion and call into question
Mayor Donna Olsons assertion of speaking for a silent
majority, as well as her bold
statement during a council
meeting in October 2014: I
have heard the community,
and theyve said they want
growth, they want development and they want Kettle
Park West.
Council results
Council president Michael
Engelberger defeated longtime city resident Mike Gilbert in the District 2 contest
by a 94-vote margin, 382 to
288.
Engelberger has been the

Two District 4 candidates
who have backed KPW ran

unopposed and will return

OConnor. Hohol garnered
370 votes and OConnor tallied 371 votes.
In District 1, Sid Boersma
a consistent KPW opponent
ran unopposed and received
486 votes.
Differing
interpretations
Mayor Olson lamented
the low voter turnout and
acknowledged that those who
voted did marginally vote in
opposition to the use of TIF
funding for KPW (554 more
in opposition than support) as
well as support for the project
(164 more in opposition than
in support).
But she disagreed with the
headline in last weeks Courier Hub, KPW lacks support.
Out of 8,000 registered
voters that margin is difficult to say that there is no
community support, Olson
asserted.
She noted that the referendums were only advisory

Support local agriculture - buy direct from the grower!
and said she and the council

would use the information as
the KPW project moves forward. Olson said the development is located in the right
place for commercial growth.
It is important to remember that the TIF will be used
for community infrastructure,
safety improvements, storm
water and other regional
improvements, Olson said.
Without the KPW development, she added, the city
could not afford traffic signals at the intersection of
Jackson Street and Hwy.
51, along with other safety
improvements that have
been long needed in the
area.
Engelberger had a different
take-away from the election.
He said the results showed
exactly what I thought all
along there is no silent
majority supporting KPW,
and the people dont think the
developer should be getting
TIF. Build it, but not with the
TIF money.
Engelberger said while
there are some here who simply do not want the city to
grow, hes not one of them.
I do think we need redevelopment and other types
of development for the tax
base, he explained. Im not
saying KPW is not a good
development, it just shouldnt
be subsidized.
He would support other
types of development
industrial or manufacturing
over a commercial center
with relatively low-paying
jobs.
We need development
that would bring in good jobs
where people could actually afford to buy a home, he
said.
He thinks most people
agree, which is why they reelected him.
Hirsch said voters responded to her campaign message
that the city should collaborate more with residents and
involve them in decisionmaking.
Thats what I ran on, and
a lot of people were very
upset about the divisions
that have happened in the
community over Kettle Park
West, she said. They wanted somebody that would try
to bring the community back
together.
Hirsch recognized that her
opponent talked about his
ability to reach across the
aisle and work with liberals
and conservatives. But, she
said, its not about reaching
across the political aisle.
Its about getting the community involved in visioning and decision making, as
opposed to electing an official and having them make
all the decisions, Hirsch
said.
She added that people were
upset that the public input
sessions at Common Council
meetings were a farce after
the development agreement
was signed, and they were
upset at being marginalized
as simply anti-Wal-Mart.
Thats not what they were
saying.
Hirsch said a year ago, she
had never considered running
for a seat on the council. But
theres a new group of people
in their 20s, 30s and 40s who
want to be involved in determining the citys future.
They encouraged me to
run for a seat, she said.
