Artwork by Bill
Amundson
Creative, irreverent,
and pretty dumb
Amundson returns to
hometown with art
career intact
Bill livick
Unifed Newspaper Group
In Stoughton, a native
son can move away for 35
years and when he returns,
hes still a local. Especially
if his last name is some-
thing like Amundson.
Never mi nd t hat hes
made a career as a left-
of-center artist, or that his
work is irreverent and occa-
sionally somewhat sub-
versive. Or the fact that,
because its what he has
always done, hes likely to
lampoon some of the com-
munitys most cherished
institutions such as its
Norwegian heritage.
Bill Amundson is all of
the above, but hes not so
caught up in his own per-
sona that he cant appreci-
ate the subtle charm of his
hometown: the restored
gem that is the Stoughton
Opera House; the beauty of
the areas rivers and lakes;
the quaintness of small-
town life in the Midwest.
Amundson gr aduat ed
from UW-Madison with a
fine arts degree in 1975. As
a graduation gift, his par-
ents bought him a one-way
flight to Colorado, where he
worked primarily as an art-
ist but also did lots of other
basically creative stuff.
Over al l t hese years
Ive had an art career and

Artist Bill Amundson shows some of his work inside his studio in Stoughton. The Stoughton
native currently has artwork on display in Colorado, where he spent his time after graduating from
UW-Madison in 1975. Amundson returned to Stoughton in 2010.

START honors Ketterers
efforts to fight cancer
victoriA vlisides
When Amy Ketterer saw
a poster for Relay for Life
in 1999, it struck a chord
with her. The Stoughton
resident had recently lost
a college mentor to cancer.
Since then, she has vol-
unt eered t i rel essl y for
Relay and for the Ameri-
can Cancer Society and
has helped inspire many
others to volunteer. For
that, the Stoughton Area
Resource Team is honor-
ing her with its Commu-
nity Service Award this
week at its
annual fun-
draiser and
celebration.

City of Stoughton
Dance studio relocation
plan heads to council
MArk ignAtowski
The Stoughton Center
for Performing Arts could
soon occupy a large area
of vacant commerci al
real estate after the citys
Planning Commission for-
warded plans to move the
studio Monday.
The Common Coun-
cil will have the final
say when it meets in two
weeks, but support from
the commission, city staff
and one resident at a pub-
lic hearing should allow
for approval next month.
The center, currently
located in the Tobacco
Junction building on East
Main Street, is planning
to take over seven unoccu-
pied, first floor commer-
cial units at 2320 Jackson
St.
The new space will be
about 10,500 square feet
and will contain three
dance studios, three music
st udi os, a ret ai l area,
offices, changing rooms
and storage space. The
space will require remod-
eling but the exterior and
landscaping plans will not
change, according to doc-
uments filed with the city.

Wrestling team outing honors Dahmen
retired coach spent 27 years with program
Anthony iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Retired Stoughton High
School coach Eric Dahmen
has many stories to tell about
his 27 years with the wres-
tling program, from catching
heavyweight Jessie Nelson in
his arms after Nelson won the
state title last season to meet-
ing children of alumni whom
he will coach in the future.
But one of his favorites is
how he went from coaching
state champion and co-head
varsity coach Dan Spilde
in high school to remaining
friends with Spilde. The two
play cards and take their fami-
lies camping together and
Dahmen sometimes babysits
Spildes children.
It is incredible to see what
effect you have on young peo-
ple not just as a competitor but
as a person, Dahmen said.
That effect is why Spilde
and the rest of the Stoughton
wrestling family is honoring
Dahmens service to the pro-
gram Saturday at the teams
second annual golf outing at
Coachmans Golf Resort.
Dahmen said he wants to
meet up with old friends and
have fun. He also added
wi t h a chuckl e t hat he
doesnt want to embarrass
himself in golf too much.

Summer may be winding down but the Stoughton Farmers Market was going full steam last Friday, with plenty of vendors selling a
wide variety of produce and goods. The market continues through the fall.
City of Stoughton
Budget listening
session planned
City of Stoughton resi-
dents can weigh in on plans
for the 2014 budget at a lis-
tening session, according
to a news release from city
hall.
The session will be held
at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16,
at the EMS Training Room,
516 S. Fourth St.
Residents can share their
perspective on what servic-
es the city should prioritize
as the city continues the
Budgeting for Outcomes
process.
The city switched to the
BFO process about three
years ago, but citizen par-
ticipation has been under-
whelming, Mayor Donna
Olson previously told the
Hub.
The results teams phase
an early part of the pro-
cess was recently com-
pleted with the help of city
employees and four resi-
dents.
The committees made
their recommendations for
service levels at the Aug.
27 Common Council meet-
ing. The city will have to
contend with about $30,000
in new operating revenue
due to a lack of new con-
struction in the city. That
small amount of growth
wont make up for a budget
deficit of almost $300,000.
City staff, elected leaders
and residents will have to
help decide what services
to cut in order to close the
budget gap.

Dam drawdown planned next week
MArk ignAtowski
Res i dent s al ong t he
Yahara Ri ver sout h of
Stoughton will see water
levels drop during the next
few weeks in preparation
for an inspection of the
Dunkirk Dam.
Dunkirk Dam District
member Pat t y Renaul t
said the routine inspection,
required periodically by the
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, is being done
at the end of the month.
The dam is overseen by
the agency because it has a
hydraulic power generator,
however, that equipment is
no longer in use.
Its not due for a couple
years, but we wanted to do
it now because we suspect
theres a little concrete
degrading, Renault said.
Waiting a few years wont
help anything.
Starting Monday, Sept.
16, the water will be drawn
down between the Stough-
ton Dam and the Dunkirk
Dam at a rate of six inch-
es per day for about two
weeks.
The Wisconsin Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
determines the flow rate
for the draw down in order
to protect species along
the waterway from being
washed away or left high
and dry.
Its a safety thing for
flora and fauna (along the
river), Renault said.
The draw down wont
completely dry out the river
- water will still flow down-
stream.
It wont be dry as a
bone, Renault said. But
it will be pretty mucky and
muddy down there.
The inspection will take
place Sept. 30 or Oct. 1 and
the water above the dam
will be replaced at a rate of
12 to 18 inches per day. It
should be refilled within a
week or so.
The inspection will be
done by Mead and Hunt,
whi c h ha s pe r f or me d
inspections for the group
before. The Dunkirk Dam
Lake District was formed
about 12 years ago, Renault
said.

The Dunkirk Dam will be opened up and water will be drawn down starting next week to make way for a routine inspection at the end of
the month. Water will remain in the river, but muddy conditions will exist until the lake is refilled in early October.

Letters to the editor
Congratulations to Home Talent team
I just wanted to say congrats
to Dale Seffens and the entire
Stoughton Home Talent baseball
team.
It was a privilege and a blast
to watch these guys play ball
this year and what a great season
(yeah, second sucks but wait
until next year, right?).
Local baseball is alive and well
because of these guys who play
just for the love of baseball.
Thanks for the ride guys!

Corrections
In Kimberly Wethals photo caption for the story on tobacco harvest
last week, Tyler Harding is incorrectly identified as Ervin Wethal. He
is a Stoughton High School senior and a friend of a family member.
Braden Poirer hauled in the Vikings lone touchdown in a 31-7 loss at
Reedsburg on Aug. 30 and not PJ Rosowski as was reported.
The Hub regrets these errors.
Thanks for helping with car trouble
There are still good people in
this world.
I want to thank the gentleman
who helped me on Hwy. B on
Monday when my car overheated.
I failed to get his name; he
was hauling some shrubbery on
a trailer when he stopped to help
me. He looked at my car, assisted
me as best as he could and then
offered to follow me home. I
thought it was good to go and left.
In the next mile, the car failed
and ended up having to be towed.
The kind man drove down the
road to make sure I didnt have
more problems and when he saw
my car, pulled over and helped my
husband push it out of the way.
What a wonderful act of kind-
ness on a miserably hot day.
Thank you to whoever you are!

According to a news release by
START, since the year she joined
the Stoughton-Oregon-McFarland
Relay For Life, the event has raised
just over $1.18 million for research,
advocacy and cancer patient ser-
vices.
Ketterer said having a deeper rea-
son to volunteer and getting to know
other people and their own personal
stories has kept her active.
Over the years, Ive had the
opportunity to meet people who
had survived this disease its all
fulfilling and enriching to be able to
know these people, she said. My
reason keeps getting deeper as time
goes on.
Spirit of service
Ketterer has served the ACS
not just locally but also at the divi-
sion, state, regional and national
levels. As a Wisconsin volunteer
lead ambassador, she led a team of
volunteers to Washington, D.C.,
annually for five years to lobby
for smoke-free legislation and to
increase funding for the National
Institutes of Health.
At the same time, she serves on
a national team of volunteers who
train other volunteers nation-wide
to become better event planners,
recruiters and fundraisers.
For Kay Davis, START president,
it was not only Ketterers personal
volunteering but also her leadership
that made her a clear choice for the
award.
She has this positive spirit and
personality that can draw people of
many different backgrounds togeth-
er for a common purpose and get
them excited, Davis said in a phone
interview with the Hub.
Davis said Amys positive bun-
dle of energy, which she called
contagious, is one of the reasons
shes an effective leader.
I know that she gets tired, but
Ive never seen her act tired, Davis
said.
She also attributed Ketterers
success to her philosophy that an
individual can make a difference,
and that together, even more can be
accomplished.
Thats a big part of what keeps
Ketterer with an unwavering posi-
tivity and a reason to pass that on.
She said shes learned that people
can fall victim to learned helpless-
ness where they think whatever
they do wont make a difference
anyways, so why try?
And thats what shes trying to
stop before it starts, she said.
I just believe its important to
live each day with the belief that you
can make a difference and make an
attempt, she said.
It can be super small or super
big, but it keeps me positive. I think
thats such a choice. Sometimes
people will ask me, Oh my gosh,
are you ever not positive? Abso-
lutely. Its a choice so often. I chose
positive.
Individual efforts
One way shes able to mold that
positive attitude in others is to find
ways for them to flourish in vol-
unteering that fits their needs, and
have them realize that thats OK.
For example, she helped one
Stoughtonite find alternative ways
to raise money for Relay for Life
besides asking people directly for
money.
Under Ketterers guidance, Amy
Winchell became the queen of
fundraising with other options, as
Ketterer calls her. Getting creative
helped her find ways to be a top
fundraiser through such activities as
coordinating concessions stands.
Ketterer said believing an indi-
vidual can make a difference is
something shes subscribed to
nearly her whole life. Shes learned
the importance of giving from the
actions of her parents, Mary and
Glenn McNaughton, who are part
of the Stoughton Kiwanis and have
also received volunteering awards.
Ketterer and her mother had been
working together on a decorative
painting business, which allowed
Ketterer flexible hours for volun-
teering before she took at job at
Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg as
their marketing and communica-
tions department coordinator. After
coordinating Relay for Life for
many years, a couple of years ago
she found some outstanding co-
coordinators, Maureen Hubeler and
Sara Hynek.
Ketterer, whos spent the past 19
years in Stoughton, said shes seen
a lot of giving in that time from the
community and looks forward to
continuing to give back.
Its such a happy place to be,
she said.

The center will house
dance, music and drama
classes, though no perfor-
mances will be held in the
studio.
Above the studio are resi-
dential units which drew
concerns about noise from
the studio.
One resident of the build-
ing said he was glad to have
the company move in, but
that he wanted to be sure
there wouldnt be excessive
noise coming from the stu-
dio.
According to documents
provided to the Planning
Commission, the center plans
to close by 9 p.m. and will
install sound baffling on the
walls and ceiling to reduce
noise.
Commission members
were satisfied with the noise
reduction plan and gave
praise to owner Colleen Kehl
for wanting to take over the
unused retail space.
Ald. Ron Christenson said
the unused space has deterred
development in other parts of
the city.
By eliminating this
empty space, it may make
development across the rest
of the community seem
move viable, Christenson
said.
The citys Redevelopment
Authority has previously
heard from realtor Mike Herl
that marketing some rede-
velopment sites such as the
former Marathon gas station
site on West Main Street
have been difficult because
potential developers see
other large areas of vacant
retail space and are leery of
adding more property to the
community.
Mayor Donna Olson, too,
praised Kehl for her dedi-
cation to the community
and her plans to expand the
Stoughton Center for Per-
forming Arts.
Its great to keep the busi-
ness right here in Stough-
ton, Olson said.
The commission forward-
ed both a rezoning petition
and a conditional use permit
application to the council for
approval at its Oct. 8 meet-
ing.
Deli gets nod
Commission members
gave approval to plans for
a new deli on North Page
Street.
Ben Di Salvo plans to open
the restaurant next to the
American Legion Hall, in a
building most recently occu-
pied by an carpet business.
According to planning
documents, the exterior of
the building will not change
significantly. Interior modi-
fications to make and sell
sauces, breads, pizza-making
materials and deli items will
be made.
Residential plans
The commi ssi on al so
forwarded plans to rezone
several properties on Berry
Street to single-family prop-
erties. The properties were
planned to be a three-unit
condo, but market condi-
tions have changed to make
single-family homes more
attractive, according to plan-
ning commission documents.
Berry Street will be paved
later this year to accommo-
date the news homes, city
planning director Rodney
Scheel said at the meeting.

Stoughton Public Library
Summer Reading Program numbers increase this year
KImBERly WEThAl
UNG correspondent
Thi s year s summer
reading program at the
Stoughton Public Library
showed positive results
with an increase in both the
number of hours read and
overall participation.
According to Youth Ser-
vices Director Amanda
Boske, the reading program
went above and beyond the
librarys expectations.
Thi s ye a r , a r ound
13,000 hours were read,
Boske said. Last year, it
was just under 10,000.
There were 950 chil-
dren and teens involved in
the reading program, with
774 children between the
ages of 6-11 and 176 teens.
Together they read 13,365
hours, with the children
claiming the majority with
9,116 hours.
Adults had a total of
86 participants with 299
books read.
Boske believes the jump
i n t he summer readi ng
programs participation is
due to the Kindle incentive
that was offered.
I think it was the prom-
ise of winning that brought
in the kids, Boske said.
The winners of the Kin-
dles in the childrens cat-
egory are Kaia Maag and
Kalena Winter, the winner
of the teen category was
Jessica S. and the adult
winner is Jill Graeyalny.
The incentive of the Kin-
dles was newly introduced
this year, as the program
continuously undergoes
changes each year.
Its what keeps it fresh,
Boske said.
Looking ahead
The library has started
to already plan next years
summer reading program,
as Boske hinted at a pos-
sible science theme.
Were currently coming
up with activities, Boske
said. Were still just in
the planning stages for next
year.

As part of the Summer Reading Program, kids got to get their
hands on some fossils presented by UW-Madison geology stu-
dents. Audience members were able to handle some of the tools
used to dig up fossils, as well as molds of some of the fossils
that have been found by the UW-Madison geology department.

Reciprocate
Rules of reciprocity are universal. Every
society has both implicit and explicit rules
about giving back to those who have given
to us. We dont usually notice these rules
until we encounter different rules from
other cultures, or when someone violates
the rules. The duty to reciprocate explains
why we feel uncomfortable at Christmas if
someone has given us a gift and we dont
have one for them. Were likely to go out
and buy something for them in this case.
Rules of reciprocity apply also to justice in
punishment, and the lex talionis or eye for
an eye rule was probably instituted as an
attempt to limit our murderous impulses
for revenge. We shouldnt always demand
justice; sometimes mercy is the more loving
response. We also shouldnt expect reciproc-
ity in giving in many cases as well. Parents
give to their young children knowing that
their children dont have the wherewithal to
reciprocate and sometimes we give anony-
mously knowing that the other person would
feel uncomfortably indebted if they knew
who gave to them. So, we should give gen-
erously, especially to those in need, keeping
in mind how our gift is likely to make the
other person feel.
Christopher Simon for Metro News Service
Do to others as you would have them do
to you.

Local art on display
during annual fall tour
Scott Girard
William Buchanan used
to sit and shoot the bull
with the man who mowed
hi s ne i ghbor s l a wn.
One day, the man asked
Buchanan, who had begun
using wood to create piec-
es of art, if he could do
something as a tribute to
the mans dying dog.
Buchanan fiddled around
for a while, until he real-
ized he could make a carv-
ing of the dog and make it
look even better with stain-
ing. The mans wife loved
it so much, she asked can
he make a bear? and his
work continued to spread.
Five years ago, he joined
14 South Artists when he
moved to Stoughton, and
he will take part in the
groups annual fall tour for
the fifth time this year.
What I like about the
tour is the fact that the peo-
ple that come to the tour
seem to enjoy the tour,
Buchanan said. They like
visiting a lot of artists in
their workshops.
The tour is planned for
Sept. 21-22, and will fea-
ture 32 of the groups 51
members at different loca-
t i ons t hr oughout ar eas
south of Madison.
Talents on the tour range
from painting, woodwork-
i ng or phot ogr aphy t o
sculpting, pottery or bead
making.
This year, the group has
put an emphasis on live
demonstrations during the
tour to showcase the pro-
cess of creating the art,
according to 14 South Art-
ists president Ann Kleck-
ner, who is a glass artist
herself.
The ar t i st s ar e abl e
to show how they make
t hi ngs s o t hat peopl e
appreciate the work and
complexity of making a
pi ece of art , she sai d.
The real benefit is educa-
tion for the public for them
to learn and see how things
are created and spark their
interest in maybe creating
something themselves.
The tour this year will
also include a new pass-
port program, in which
tour-goers can get stamps
at each stop on the tour
t hey vi si t and t hen be
entered into a drawing for
prizes from the groups art-
ists.
The group aims to pro-
mote the visual arts in the
communi t i es and r ur al
areas of Sout h Cent ral
Wisconsin by providing
opportunities for artist to
artist interactions, educa-
tional programs and exhi-
bitions, according to its
mission statement.
Kleckner said her favor-
ite part of the group is
t he camar ader i e and
the different perspectives
members get from each
o t h e r o n e v e r y t h i n g
involved in a career in art.
It s j ust a weal t h of
information and it keeps
me being more creative to
hear what other people are
doing and where theyre
going with their careers,
she said.
Buchanan enj oys t he
support the group offers to
local artists.
I t s a r e a l l y good
group of people, theyre
very supportive of artists
whether theyre members
or not, he said. They
have a goal to bring art
appreciation to the com-
munity.

Shrinky dinks
Homemade designs come in small
packages thanks to the magic of
shrinky dink crafts. The library held
a craft time last week where partic-
ipants were able to draw their own
designs on large plastic sheets
(above). Those sheets were then
baked in an oven (right) where they
shrunk down to tiny trinkets (left).

Stoughton had no answer for
the visiting Middleton Home Tal-
ent team Sunday as Merchants
playoff run ends in a 7-1 loss in
Sundays Home Talent League
championship game.
The hottest hitting team in the
league, Middleton pounded out
15 hits and rode ace Drew Farrell
to the clubs first title in 11 years.
It was the Merchants first Final
Four since 2002, while the team
last won the title in 1986.
Its tough to get to the cham-
pionship game and lose no mat-
ter what, but Ill tell you what,
Stoughton manager Dale Seffens
said. We fought hard this year
and came back from a long way
down a couple months ago.
This was a great season. I
dont care how you look at it.
Stoughton, which had only
found itself down once in the first
two games of the Final Four, dug
itself into a three-run deficit in the
second inning.
Things went from bad to worse
for the Merchants in the inning
after a lead-off single and sacri-
fice bunt as Cole Cook lined an
RBI single past third base.
Eric Simon followed hitting
a ball to left field where Tay-
lor Schmid juggled it, allowing
Cook, who had stolen second, to
score.
Middleton (18-4 overall) went
back to work following a Scott
Brabender strike out as lead-off
hitter Brandon Shielder singled to
left. Schmid threw wide of home
on the play at the plate before
Stoughton starter Ben Riffle got
Matt Brabender to ground out to
end the inning.
Seffens said he was a little sur-
prised to see the Merchants (15-
7) struggle a bit defensively, but
Stoughton pitcher Ben Riffle looks on after being pulled after 5 2/3 innings during Sundays
7-1 loss in the Home Talent League championship game at home against Middleton.

Junior Nikki Staffen and the rest
of the Stoughton girls cross coun-
try team served notice to the Bad-
ger South and teams throughout its
sectional with a fourth-place finish
Saturday at the Verona Invitation-
al.
Staffen won her first prep race
on the same Randy Marks Cross
Country Course a year ago last
October and said that experience
gave her a lot of confidence com-
ing into Saturdays race where
she finished sixth overall this time
around in 16 minutes, 13 seconds.
She added that with so many
competitors from the Vikings
conference and sectional in such
a large field, the feeling is almost
like that of a mini-state meet.
Its really fun to see all of your
friends from other schools and
compete against them, Staffen
said.
With more than 130 girls on the
start line experience has taught
Staffen to get out quickly, espe-
cially before the course bottle-
necks through its wood and prairie
sections.
With a start that big you can get
tripped up really easily, she said.
You just have to get yourself out
there and set a good pace.
Though t he 1: 39 gap from
Staffen to the Vikings final runner
was too much to take top honors
Saturday, it was a very encourag-
ing sign as Stoughton saw all five
varsity scorers run sub 18 minute
races Saturday.
Stoughton finished well ahead
of conference and section foes Fort
Atkinson (218), Monona Grove
(260) and Oregon (319), as well
as, sectional rivals Verona (213)
and Badger (286).
The season is young, but I do
like where we are sitting at this
point, Vikings head coach Patrick
Schneider said. The varsity girls
summer running is paying off.
Senior Ashley Harnack (17:12)
and freshman Al yson Weum
(17:18) finished with six seconds
of each other in 24th and 28th
place, respectively. Saturday was
the first time medaling for Har-
nack at Verona.
Aly is a great addition to our
top five, Schneider said. As a
freshman, it is hard to know just
how good she can be by the end of
the year.
Meanwhile, senior Hannah Son-
salla (17:50) and junior Megan
Reese finished with two seconds
each other.
Sophomore Jenna Gardner and
senior Serena Schimelpfenig both
ran on varsity, but did not score,
though Gardner finish helped the
Vikings break a fourth-place tie
with Mauston.
The girls ran a lot smarter at
Verona than they did the prior
week in Appleton, Schneider
said. I think they learned the les-
son that going out a bit easier at
Turn to XC/Page 12
10
you just cant keep allowing
runners to get to second base
on every base hit.
The Merchants clawed
back with one run in the home
half of the inning on T.J.
DiPrizios RBI single to right
center, but never scored again.
Thats the way it goes,
Seffens said. Some days
youre the bug. Some days
youre the windshield.
Stoughtons leading hitter
Jake Wenzel led off the inning
with a single and moved up to
second when Middleton left
fielder Josh Hinson tried to
throw him out from the out-
field.
The bleeding continued into
the third inning as Stoughton
allowed two more runs. Mike
Brabenders two-out single to
center scored Josh Hinson, but
more importantly Brabender
moved up to third on another
errant throw to the plate this
time from Tanner Klitzke.
Though it appeared as if the
Merchants would get out of
the inning without any further
damage, DiPrizio airmailed
an inning-ending ground ball
over Sean Gerber at first to
plate another run.
Both teams failed to score
another run until the sixth
when Middleton picked up
an RBI single from Hinson.
Mike Brabender followed
being hit by an Erick Sperloen
pitch with the bases loaded to
plate a second run.
Stoughton left a pair of bas-
erunners on base with one out
in the fourth, hit into double
plays in the fifth and eighth
innings and left the bases
loaded with two outs in the
sixth.
It seemed like we fed off
each other when we were hit-
ting well, 12-year Merchants
veteran Dave Hanson said.
Today no one was ever able
to get anything kick started.
Farrell went the distance for
Middleton, scattering seven
hits and striking out as many
hitters, over nine innings.
Drew got hot towards the
end of the year and we rode
him to this title, Middleton
manager Brandon Hellen-
brand said.
Riffle tossed 5 2/3, allow-
ing seven runs on 13 hits.
He struck out two. Sperloen
worked the final 3 1/3 as
Stoughton settled for a runner-
up finish.
Were playing in the Final
Four, it hasnt even really hit
me yet, Hanson said. This
is honestly the best group
of guys I have played with.
Everyone gets along great and
even today we played loose.
Ill be here for year 20.

Young players stepping up into varsity roles
AnTHony Iozzo
Senior middle blocker Maren
Schultz was out last Thursday
with a sprained ankle, but it
left a hole in the starting lineup
for t he St ought on vol l eybal l
team against Monroe in a Bad-
ger South Conference match at
home.
But t hr ee sophomor es on
the team, outside hitter/middle
blocker Haven Polich, middle
blocker/right side hitter Hannah
Hobson and outside hitter Sam-
my Tepp all found themselves
in rotations on the floor, which
is something head coach Kelly
Sorensen expects for the rest of
the season.
Polich, who was just brought
up from junior varsity, even fin-
ished second on the team with
eight kills, as the Vikings (1-0
Badger South) fought for a 3-1
(26-24, 25-21, 20-25, 25-20)
win.
I love that we do not have a
set lineup right now, Sorensen
said. I am mixing things up, and
there are a lot of girls stepping
up. We are a young team and
are still figuring things out for
our lineup, and any coach would
want multiple players to be step-
ping up and contributing instead
of relying on a single player.
But with a young team comes
the need for quick growth, and
there were a few times when
Stoughton let Monroe (0-2) back
in the game with unforced errors
and even helped Monroe jump
out to a 10-1 lead in game three
for its only eventual win.
However, the Vikings calmed
down and communicated on the
floor better in game four, com-
mitting less errors and jumping
out to a 20-9 lead before holding
off a Monroe comeback that had
more to do with good serving
than errors on the Vikings side.
Monroe sophomore setter led the
Cheesemakers with five aces,
and senior outside hitter Whit-
ney Disch picked up a few with
her in that final run.
That serving actually forced an
in-game adjustment by Sorensen.
One of t he t hi ngs we are
focusing on right now is the con-
sistent mental game, Sorensen
said. We came out strong, and
we were feeling confident. But
we had some ups and downs.
Stoughton seemed to be cruis-
ing in games one and two, as
wel l , but Monroe kept mak-
ing runs of four to six points to
remain close, mostly do to some
miscommunication on serves
received and long volleys as
balls fell between two to three
players hesitant to go for the
ball.
But Stoughton was able to
close out both games with strong
hits and smart serves. Junior out-
side hitter Annie Fergus, who
led the Vikings with 12 kills and
nine digs, finished off Monroe in
game one with a kill from the left
side, and junior setter Lindsey
Bach, who collected 28 assists
and four aces, put Monroe away
in game two with an ace.
We got a little bit out of sys-
tem, because Monroe was send-
ing some balls over the net that
were hard for us to read, but
we called a timeout and came
together and continued to fight,
Sorensen said. After we lost set
three, we had a good team talk,
and the girls were motivated
to come back and finish in four
because no one wants to go to a
fifth set.
Junior libero Olivia Dorscheid
also had nine digs, while senior
middle blocker/right side hit-
ter Carissa Klubertanz led the
Vikings with four total blocks.
Senior right side hitter Savan-
nah Koester led Monroe with 16
kills, while Murphy picked up
19 assists. Senior middle hitter
Kirsten Vetterli had nine blocks,
and senior libero Katie Holmes
led with 17 digs.
Stoughton continues the sea-
son at 7 p.m. Thursday at Fort
At ki nson. It t hen t ravel s t o
Janesville Parker for an invita-
tional at 8:30 a.m. Saturday and
finishes the week at 7 p.m. Tues-
day at home against non-confer-
ence Baraboo.

Freshmen account for both wins against Oregon
JereMy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughton girls tennis put
itself in a position to pull off
the upset of Badger South
Conference rival Oregon last
Thursday.
In the end however, the
Vikings just couldnt find
enough to close out the dual,
dropping a pair of three-set-
ters at No. 2 and 3 doubles.
Having already picked up
a 6-2, 6-2 win from fresh-
man Kendra Halverson
over Claire Massey at No. 4
singles and a No. 1 doubles
win from freshmen Payton
Kahl and Sarah Benoy the
Vikings need to win both
matches at No. 2 and 3 dou-
bles.
I was happy to see Ken-
dra get her first dual win of
the season, head coach Ryan
Reischel said. Shes just
playing really consistent and
did a nice job taking advan-
tage of her opportunities.
Moving back to doubles
after playing the past couple
matches at singles, Kahl and
Benoy, recovered from a bit
of a lull early.
Im pleased getting a cou-
ple wins, but Im not totally
pleased, Reischel said.
Obviously, we didnt even
play our best tennis today and
we had a chance to win.
While Reischel was happy
the girls put themselves in
a chance to earn the win,
Reischel said the teams slow
starts at No. 2 and 3 doubles
were frustrating.
We have to come out
ready to play, he said. We
struggled to put balls in ball
in both of those and were
down like 4-1 in the fifth
game. When you arent ready
to play, its just difficult to
dig yourself out of that hole.
Losing 6-1 to both Monona
Grove and Baraboo to start
the season, Reischel said,
we definitely, as a team, up
and the down the lineup, we
played a lot better today than
in our previous duals.
Natalie Clerkin played a
solid first set at No. 3 singles,
but fell 6-4, 6-1 to Kenzie
Torpy.
Stoughton was unable to
take more than three games
at No. 1 or 2 singles however,
opting to put their strength in
the teams doubles lineup.
DeForest 4, Stoughton 3
The Vikings got in a
non-conference make-up
against DeForest on Mon-
day, dropping another tight
match 4-3.
Benoy/Kahl and Ramos/
McCune supplied wins at
No. 1 (6-3, 6-0) and No. 2
doubles (6-2, 6-1).
Stoughtons other win
came from Clerkin, who
rolled 6-0, 6-0 at 4 singles.
Ti ng Thompson and
Anna Nelson had a chance
to close out the win, but
fell 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.
Freshman Sarah Benoy returns a volley at the net Thursday
against Oregon. Benoy and her No. 1 doubles partner, Payton
Kahl (not pictured), were one of two flights to win for the Vikings
in a 5-2 loss at home against Oregon.

Stoughton girls swimming
coach Elise McLaury and the
Vikings knew Tuesday eve-
nings Badger South Con-
ference home meet against
Monona Grove was going to
be close.
In the losses Stoughton
had last year, the Silver
Eagles were the closest.
Despite coming away with
a few first places and nine
personal bests, the Vikings
once again fell just short in a
94-76 loss to MG.
Most of the team is a lit-
tle sluggish adjusting to the
first full week of morning
practices and homework and
fighting off any bugs going
around, Vikings head coach
Elise McLaury said. We
need to power through it,
work hard, and it will pay off
in the end.
Senior Allie Niemeyer
dominated the 500-yard
freestyle field by 12 seconds
with a time of 5:47.62.
Shaylee Kooima swam a
great race taking third just
tenths of a second off her

Stoughton then took the
next two events, as Averie
Ness, Mari Grady, Victoria
Griffin and Niemeyer com-
bined to take the 200 free
relay (1:57.20), while Kath-
erine Rude had a great swim
to take the 100 backstroke
(1:06.03).
Tonight was a meet that
we will build off of and make
sure we work on the things
that will make us keep seeing
improvements, McLaury
said.

The Verona Invitation-
al was a great day for our
team, but we really just
need to keep focusing on
running smart in practice,
Schneider said. The only
races that really matter take
place in October. Verona
should give us the confi-

Monroe 5, Stoughton 2
On the verge, but unable
to closeout a tight match. It
continued to be the theme for
the Vikings in a 5-2 loss Tues-
day at Monroe.
Halvorson played well at 4
singles, breaking serve to win
her match 7-6 (7-5), 6-4.
Ramos and McCune played
one of their best matches of
the season, patiently putting
Monroe away in straight sets
6-3, 6-3.
With the match again on
the line, Stoughton was once
again unable to pull out either
of their three set matches as
Benoy and Kahl fell 6-3, 4-6,
6-3 and Molly Staats lost 4-6,
6-0, 6-1 at 2 singles.
Stoughton Invitational
Stoughton hosted its annual
invitational Saturday where
Halverson paced the team
with her runner-up finish at
No. 3 singles.
Advancing to the champi-
onship match, the freshman
fell 7-5, 7-5 to Racine Case
freshman Molly Jaeck in the
championship.
Stoughtons next best finish
came from its No. 1 doubles
team of Kahl and Benoy, who
held on 1-6, 7-6 (10), 10-4 to
defeat Big Foot in their third-
place match.
Clerkin dropped her third-
place match 6-0, 6-0 at No. 2
singles, while Thompson and
Nelson also dropped to fourth
at No. 3 doubles.
Stoughton finished sixth

15 points. Racine Case (29)

Vikings stymied by Fort
JereMy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughton found itself in a three-touch-
down deficit on the road Friday and was
never able to recover in a 28-7 loss at Fort
Atkinson.
The Vikings struggled on the offensive side
especially, racking up a mere 95 yards (81
rushing, 14 passing) and six first downs.
We have not moved the ball like we
want, Stoughton head coach Jason Thiry
said. This has created short fields for the last
two teams.
In addition, we have turned the ball over
deep in our territory. These are fixable prob-
lems that will be fixed.
The Blackhawks, who improved to 3-0
with the win, were paced senior running back
Tyler Courtier. A returning first-team all-con-
ference athlete, Courtier rushed for 200 yards
and three touchdowns on 36 carries.
We had to keep everything in front of us
and make tackles, Thiry said. Yards after
contact was a huge factor in this game.
Brady Brusegers 6-yard touchdown run
pulled the Vikings to within two touchdowns
in the third quarter, but it was as close as
Stoughton would come.
Fort Atkinsons other returning first-team
all-conference player, wide receiver James
Nachtigal caught four passes for 94 yards,
including a 8-yard touchdown reception.
Stoughton quarterback Luke Logan ran
for 37 yards on 11 carries and completed just
3-of-7 passes for 37 yards with an intercep-
tion.
Stoughton dropped to 1-2 with the loss.
The Vikings host Madison Edgewood
(2-1) at 7 p.m. Friday. The Crusaders are
coming off a 31-7 win over Milton.
Only scoring one touchdown in each of the
past two games Thiry said, were going to
keep getting better at blocking and improving
our tackling will be our focus each week.
Dahmen: Will be honored at golf outing
But he really didnt want
a ceremony because he nev-
er wanted to take away from
the entire program, the team
from coaches to athletes.
It was never about me,
he said. It is about the kids
and about the wrestling.
Spilde counters that the
family-oriented club needs
to honor the leaders like the
Pieper family and Dahmen,
whom he said are down to
earth people that care about
the wrestling community
and the people in Stoughton.
Anytime someone puts
in 25-plus years of basically
serving the community as
a mentor to young athletes
and up to graduating seniors
and beyond, he has just been
one of those people that is
just a blessing for the com-
munity to have someone
that is willing to take their
time for very little return
except just the gratification
that he is helping kids.
That has been pretty spe-
cial to have in our group.
Stories for a lifetime
Dahmen might rehash
some of his old stories with
old friends Saturday, but a
recent one was the media
sensation of heavyweight
state champion Jessie Nel-
son jumping into his arms at
last years state meet.
He said that actually was
pre-planned a little bit, espe-
cially with Dahmen being a
former heavyweight wres-
tler for Waunakee High
School and Madison Col-
lege.
Jessie and I talked about
it leading into the tourna-
ment with all the coaches.
These little guys jump into
their coaches arms and
do flips, and he asked, So
what do I get to do?
The other coaches were
quick to remind him not to
jump on them. Being that I
was Jessies size, and since
I worked with him since he
was a kid, we kind of dealt
with it.
Dahmen also has non-
wrestling moments that will
last, with other relationships
that developed with alumni.
One that he talked about
was when he met Blake
Swalheim as a 2-year old.
Swalheims father said,
This is your next coach.
Unexpected journey
But it all began with the
desire to be a wrestling ref-
eree.
It was 1985, and Dahmen
had discussed the possibil-
ity with LaVern Pieper. At
the time, there werent any
open positions at the time,
so Pieper asked Dahmen to
come to the wrestling room
and help out.
He never did take the next
step to become a referee,
he said, because he enjoyed
volunteering so much.
Pieper later recommend-
ed Dahmen to get involved
with the city recreational
program with Brian Radtke
and Carl Stalzer. And Dah-
men added experience with
the YMCA program and
also was the sole club coach
for the Viking Wrestling
Club for 10 years. Through-
out that time, he contin-
ued to help out at the high
school.
Finally, when Don Walk-
er retired, Dahmen applied
for the position and became
a paid coach at the high
school.
Even the paid positions,
you never make more than a
nickel an hour for what you
put into it, but it is a labor of
love thing, Dahmen said.
I joked around for many
years when I using high
school and club follow-
ing that a couple of nights
a week, and on those days,
I literally spent more time
in the high school and the
practice room then I did at
home.
Retiring again
Dahmen actually tried to
retire a few years back, but
he kept hanging around the
wrestling room so much, he
decided to just come back.
But this time, he said, it is
for real.
I physically cant do
the things I used to do, he
said. I like to work with the
kids one on one and actually
wrestle with them and roll
around with them and com-
pete with them. I lifted with
them and would run with
them, and it was taking its
toll. I was like, Man, I am
in my middle 50s, I cant do
that anymore.
Dahmen still said he will
be at the meets support-
ing the team. He still lives
in Stoughton and raised
his children there, and he
still has a lot of friends he
made while in the program,
including his daughter Chel-
sea, who is on the board of
directors of the wrestling
club.
I have had a few contacts
of interest from other loca-
tions, other schools, but I
have Viking, purple blood,
he said.

Earl R. Tiny Fritzke
Earl Tiny Fritzke, age
81, passed away peacefully
at his home in Stoughton
of natural causes on Sept.
3, 2013. Tiny, as he was
a l w a y s
k n o w n ,
l i v e d a
very ful l
l i f e . He
was a husband, father and
carpenter, touching hun-
dreds of lives along the
way.
Tiny was born on Sept.
5, 1931, to Paul and Ada
(Mohr) Fritzke of Edger-
ton. He graduated from
Edger t on Hi gh School
i n 1949 and ser ved i n
the Army Company C
84th Engineer Construc-
tion Battalion from 1951
to 1953. Upon returning
home to Edgerton he con-
tinued working as a car-
penter.
On Nov. 6, 1965, Tiny
was united in marriage to
Berdette E. Wiesspfenning
from Elroy. On April 24,
1970, their beloved son,
David J. Fritzke, was born.
Davi d was t he l ove of
their lives and the three of
them made many a journey
around the country in their
camper truck.
After Berdettes passing
in 1996, Tiny and David
cont i nued t o t ravel t he
U.S. and overseas to Tai-
wan and Korea. They were
an inseparable pair until
the unexpected passing of
David in 2008.
After his release from
t he army i n 1953 Ti ny
cont i nued hi s career i n
the building trades, team-
ing with Ralph Bradley
from Edgerton and later
with Doug Stolen, working
through the lumber yard
in Stoughton. In 1965, the
three of them started BFS
Corp. of Stoughton. BFS
thrived, becoming a pre-
mier building company.
In 1979 Doug bought out
Ralph and Tiny.
Tiny then began a long
l egacy of coor di nat i ng
and const r uct i ng many
projects for the expanding
Stoughton Trailers opera-
tion. He was in charge of
major building projects in
Stoughton, Evansville and
Brodhead.
Ti ny wi l l al ways be
remembered by the way he
was truly interested in peo-
ples lives. Many young
carpent ers wi l l cheri sh
the mentoring and train-
ing Tiny provided. He cut
a wide path, always taking
time to share a little story
or laugh a little as he joked
with many. Tiny loved to
travel around, checking
in with the many places
where friends were. He
always had advice for the
young people and showed
us all how to be a wonder-
ful friend. Tinys smile
and his booming laugh will
be missed by many.
Tiny is survived by a sis-
ter, June Jezeski; cousins;
and many dear friends.
Special thanks to Sandy
Thompson, Kel l y Buss,
Deb Schiefelbein, Dawn
Gunsolus, Cindy Barber,
Lori Duane, Dawn Killian
and Mia Martin, for the
special love and care they
provided Tiny that allowed
him to stay at home in the
later years.
He was pr eceded i n
death by his parents; his
wife; his son; and sister,
Ethel Mae Geske.
Funeral services were
hel d on Tuesday, Sept .
10, 2013, at Cress Funeral
Home in Stoughton. The
burial took place at 11:00
a.m. on Wednesday, Sept.
11, 2013, at St. Lukes
Cemetery in Elroy.
To memorialize his wife
and sons love of educa-
tion, Tiny has directed that
a Fritzke Family Scholar-
ship Trust Fund be estab-
l i shed. The t r ust shal l
be used for scholarships
toward payment of post-
high school education for
members of the graduating
class of Stoughton Senior

We will all be left with a
hole in our hearts, but with
many stories to share. To
a carpenter finally at rest
we will miss you. Rest in
Peace our beloved, Tiny.

Janice E. Palmer
Devoted mother, grand-
mother and friend, Janice
E. (Leavenworth) Palmer
of Laurel, Md., and Stough-
ton passed away on Sunday,
Sept. 8, 2013 in Milwaukee.
She was born i n her
mothers family farmhouse
in Bradford County, Her-
rick Township, Pa., on June
28, 1924.
Twelve years ago she was
preceded in death by her
beloved husband John G.
Palmer, mother and father
Vera and Arthur Leaven-
worth, and brothers, Arthur
John and Donald Leaven-
worth.
She is survived by her
daughter Carolyn (Carrie),
son-in-law Michael and
their children Caleb and
Camille, son John (Jack)
G. Palmer, Jr., his wife
Susan, and sons Jacob and
Michael, sister Ellen Wil-
son of Wyalusing, Pa., as
well as many loving nieces
and nephews.
As a child, Janice moved
from Rome, New York to
Washington, D.C. There
she attended Eastern High
School. There at age 15, she
met and fell in love with
John, her future husband.
While John served in the
Navy during World War
II, Janice got her degree at
Strayer Business College
and began her career as a
legal secretary at a large
law firm in Washington,
D.C.. After the war, Jan-
ice and John married and,
while living in Bladens-
burg, Md., she worked and
supported them as John
pursued his Ph.D.
She left her employment
after the birth of son Jack
and John was stricken with
a severe case of Type 1 dia-
betes. Janice spent much of
the next fifty years faithful-
ly caring for her husbands
medical needs. After the
birth of daughter Carrie,
they moved to the USDA
Forest Disease Laboratory
outside Laurel, Maryland
where John was di rec-
tor. Janice served in many
capacities- always contrib-
uting and organizing for the
things and people near to
her heart- her church and
her children, husband and
family. While Carrie was in
middle school, they moved
to Madison, where John
worked at the USDA Forest
Products Laboratory.
Upon retirement, they
moved to Blacksburg, Va.,
for the next decade, fol-
lowed their relocation to
Stoughton to be nearer to
Carrie, Jack and the grand-
children. Her final few
months were spent in Mil-
waukee.
Janice will always be
known for her affection-
ate and caring personality,
sharing her compassionate
heart and lending a friendly
and judgement free ear to
any one who might need it.
She made friends easily and
was always happy to give
a hug. As a devoted Chris-
tian and member of the
Methodist Church, Janice
remained active throughout
her life in Bible study, choir
and numerous church activ-
ities, working well into her
80s at the Food Pantry at
her church. She loved gar-
dening, reading, the Pack-
ers. She was very proud of
her grandchildren and loved
attending their activities
and celebrations,
Funeral services will be
held at United Methodist
Church Of Stoughton, 525
Lincoln Ave. Stoughton, at

13, 2013, with the Rev. Dr.

count ry, he sai d. My
work is usually pretty satir-
ical and humorous. It isnt
me just throwing paint at a
canvass and grappling with
existential angst and stuff
like that.
A l ot of i t s pr et t y
dumb, he added, wi t h
characteristic wry humor.
Amundson currently has
52 colored pencil drawings
on display at the U.S. Air
Force Academy in Colo-
rado Springs. He calls the
show Disabled Develop-
ment. It pokes fun at the
unchecked gr owt h and
rampant commercial devel-
opment t hat Amundson
believes has plagued Colo-
rado for the past couple of
decades.
I do a lot of Interstate
drawings, a lot of Star-
bucks-based drawings, a lot
dealing with franchises and
Walmart and all the things
that have to do with devel-
opment , he expl ai ned.
Lets put it this way: I
dont do a lot of sunsets
over the mountains with elk
in the background.
Its not exactly cartoon-
ing, he continued, but for
this show its fairly small,
humorous drawings. Ive
been doing them since the
80s because theyve kind
of made me a living.
Amundson not ed t hat
friends familiar with his
work are a bit taken aback
when they learn his work
is at the Air Force Acad-
emy. It remains one of the
states most conservative
institutions in a tradition-
ally Republican city, while
most of the state has turned
sky blue.
I noticed at the acad-
emy they have a little poster
disclaiming that my work
has nothing to do with the
academy or their opinions,
he said.
Homecoming
Amundson, 60, returned
to Stoughton in October
2010.
He and his wife, Anita
neither of whom had mar-
ried until they tied the knot
almost four years ago
came back to care for Bills
elderly father.
In some ways its been
difficult to adjust, he admit-
ted, but hes glad to see old
friends on a regular basis
people like his former art
teachers Richard Long and
Dick Fendrick.
Anot he r i nf l ue nt i a l
teacher, Skip Johnson, died
shortly before Amundsons
return.
Amundson said his par-
ents had owned a ski shop
here, Ski Line, which was
part of their motivation for
sending him West in 76.
They didnt care about
my art career but t hey
thought hey, if we have a
son working at a ski resort,
that might be good for busi-
ness, he recalled with a
laugh. I was working at
a ski resort two days after
graduating from the UW. It
just took me 35 years to get
back.
Before he left, Amundson
was one of the founders of
the Stoughton Village Play-
ers. Now that hes back, its
another tie to his past that
he appreciates. And it has
helped ease the transition
from living in a big city like
Denver.
Making a living
He was influential in Col-
orados arts community for
his drawings and also for
working in alternative radio
in both Fort Collins and
Denver, where he was twice
named the citys favorite
DJ by West word, Den-
vers version of the Isthmus
newspaper. He worked for a
while as a music critic and
wrote book reviews for the
Rocky Mountain News. He
also taught art at the Uni-
versity of Colorado-Boul-
der as an adjunct professor
from 2003-08.
Since about the late 90s,
Amundson said, hes been
able to do his colored pencil
drawings full-time.
That became more diffi-
cult with the countrys eco-
nomic downturn.
As you can imagine, the
art world was pretty deci-
mated, he said.
So for t he past t hree
years hes divided his time
between being a (mostly)
satirical artist and a care-
giver. And hes been quite
deliberate about where to
take his career next.
Amundson said he used
to make a good living doing
art festivals, but hes not
sure he wants to work that
hard again.
Hes also thought about
teaching again. Or he could
continue to get his work on
display in large galleries
and museums and hope for
a financial return.
In 2005 he had a show
in New York City a big
thing for an artist and a
few years ago, just before
returning to Wisconsin,
his work was included in a
show at the John Michael
Kohler Arts Center in She-
boygan.
Right now my main gal-
lery is in Denver, he said.
I havent done a lot in the
Madison area. Its kind of
limited.
Amundson said people
somet i mes don t know
what to do with his work
because its not exactly
art, but then its not exact-
ly cartooning, either. Its
in that kind of gray area. I
mean, the art world isnt
full of humor, so its one
of those things that people
dont know how to catego-
rize.
He said, a serious place
like the Madison Museum
of Contemporary Art might
call his work illustration
rather than drawing.
Its kind of annoying a
new contemporary kind of
parlance, he explained.
In the contemporary art
world, if you draw youre
supposed to be indulging
in mark making thats
what they call it now.
The beauty is Im 60
now, and as you get older
you kind of dont care as
much. You let your age
carry you and use it as an
excuse.
Once the display has end-
ed at the Air Force Acad-
emy i n mi d-Sept ember,
Amundsons next show is
at a community college in
Decatur, Ill. After that he
thinks hell have a show in
Los Angeles.
I kind of have shows
where people ask me, he
said.
In the meantime, hes
taken a break from drawing
and has lately been doing
woodworking making
lawn ornaments because
that seems to be a good
format here in the Mid-
west.
Hes also tapped into his
Scandinavian heritage in
some unusual ways.
Im doing some Norwe-
gian parody stuff, Amund-
son said.
I was the keynote speak-
er at the Norwegian-Amer-
ican Genealogical Society
annual conference and got
to do a lot of Scandinavian
humor. My next gig for that
is with the Sons of Norway
in Westby. Hopefully if this
Bryant Foundation (Nor-
wegian Heritage) center
gets going, there will be an
opportunity for more Scan-
dinavian humor.
