Stoughton FFA students learn to give back through agriculture

years ago by the City of Stoughton to serve as a pumping station to support water and sewage west of the city just off Hwy. 138 North. The roughly dozen acres has been leased out on an annual basis ever since, and last year Stoughton FFA and alumni leased the land with intentions of providing a larger place for students to grow produce. During the summer, Wendt and his students planted hundreds of seeds, and the total yield is expected to exceed 500 pounds of tomatoes, potatoes, broccoli, onions, cantaloupe, squash, carrots,
When it comes to helping others or finding a good deal, bigger is always better. That was the idea in the recent move of the Stoughton St. Vincent de Paul store to its new location at 1509 U.S. Hwy. 51. Now with nearly triple the space
on the sales floor, more people are donating items to the store, more people are buying items and more area people in need will receive help from the proceeds. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul bought the former Stoughton Motors used car dealership earlier this spring to relocate the store, which had been located at 111 W. Jefferson St. since it opened in 1991. Ernie Stetenfeld,

Learning how to take care of the land has been taught to FFA students for years. Learning how to take care of ones fellow person is an extra bonus for Jerry Wendts FFA students at Stoughton High School. For the past several weeks, students have been harvesting a wide variety of vegetables to donate to area food pantries as part of a new project this year. Crops are grown off-campus on Discovery Acres, land purchased
cauliflower, peppers and watermelon. As tasty as that sounds, the best ingredient might be the charitable work students are learning by donating the fruits of their labor to those in need. Lois Quale of the Stoughton Area Food Pantry said the pantry distributed more than 10,000 pounds of food to more than 200 households in the area last month alone. She praised the students, staff and FFA alumni for helping out. They are very generous giving to the pantry monetarily and with

Stoughton Area School District
Board: Flat tax rate possible next year

Scott De Laruelle
Property owners within the Stoughton Area School District might be breathing a bit easier after school board members voted Sept. 9 not to
levy the full amount possible under a recent referendum. The board, with one abstention, supported levying $2.6 million beyond the revenue cap, when the district legally could have raised the amount to nearly $3.87 million under
a 2010 referendum approved by voters. Depending on final numbers for state funding, that could mean a very small or even no increase in the districts portion of property taxes next

Some came to express support for specific budget items. Others came to express concerns about city services. And a few just wanted to stay informed. More than 25 people turned out Monday at the EMS training room for the citys first public listening session on its budget under its new system, called budgeting for outcomes. The concept behind BFO is to prioritize based on city services, rather than department expenditures
from previous years, and relay that information to elected officials for determining what services rise above the line highly desired by the community or fall below the line. While its still fairly early in the budget process adoption is usually in November Mondays meeting gave citizens the opportunity to air concerns about the 2014 budget and make their voices heard, something Mayor Donna Olson was looking forward to.

Firefighter family fun

The annual Firemans Picnic was held Monday, Sept. 9, with more than 50 firefighters, EMS responders and their families in attendance. In addition to the food, the kids were given a chance to ride around in the fire trucks, play in sand and use hoses to have a water competition. Its a great family event, firefighter Mark Miller said. Above, left: Youngsters dig through plastic swimming pools of sand to recover coins.

Stoughton Area School District
Schools get good grades from state

For the second consecutive year, all five schools in the Stoughton Area School District either met or exceeded expectations on Wisconsins report card system, according to results released Tuesday by the state Department of Public Instruction. The school district received a score of 71.9 and earned a Meets Expectations on the states overall accountability system, falling just short of an Exceeds Expectations designation. This is the first year that school districts receive scores on the state report card system. I am very pleased with the results and very proud of our staff, District Administrator Tim Onsager said. These scores are a testament to their hard work and dedication. Under Wisconsins report card system, each school receives an overall accountability rating on a 0 to 100 scale derived from performance in a number of subcategories. Each school and the district as a whole then falls into one of five accountability categories based on their overall score: significantly exceeds expectations (overall score of 83 to 100); exceeds expectations (73 to 82.9); meets expectations (63 to 72.9); meets few expectations (53 to 62.9); and fails to meet expectations (52.9 or lower). Check out next weeks Courier Hub for a breakdown of how individual schools fared on the report cards versus last year. Scott De Laruelle

City of Stoughton
Council tweaks retiree health payment plan

Bill Livick
Full-time City of Stoughton employees who retire from the city will have more control over money theyve accrued in sick leave credits under a plan the Common Council adopted last month. The plan will also remove a financial liability from the city. The Retiree Health Savings Plan will allow employees to have their accrued sick leave credits, up to 130 days, converted to a monetary value. Under the proposal which the council adopted on a 11-1 vote when an
employee retires, he or she will receive a lump-sum payment equal to 45 days of accrued sick leave. The rest of the money, up to 85 accrued sick days, would go into the employees health savings account and be taxfree. In the past, retired employees had the option of having the city manage the funds and pay healthinsurance premiums for the employee and his or her dependents, or receive monthly installments equal to the applicable monthly health insurance premium, should the employee choose not to continue health insurance coverage.
If the former employee should die, his or her spouse or other legal dependent would receive the money. The plan will benefit both the employee and the city because neither party would have to pay taxes on the money. I see this as a first step, finance director Laurie Sullivan wrote in a memo to the Personnel committee. Other options may follow. Once we have this plan in place we can begin to research other ways in which the city can use/modify this plan and use other programs to provide incentives to employees and
savings to both the employee and the city. Sullivan told the council the Personnel committee will still have to work out the details of the plan, including how to present it to employees. Mayor Donna Olson stressed that the council adopted only the concept of the plan. Now we have to bring forward our proposal of what that plan would look like, she said. We have the generic version the fact that the capped sick leave at retirement would be converted automatically into a health savings plan and folks can
use it for their health care needs. When people retire, theyll receive a 45-day payout just like they do now from that sick leave, Olson said. That will remain in place under the new plan. The difference is we wouldnt be paying the rest of that out for their premiums on a monthly basis, she explained. It just all goes to their health savings plan and it all gets taken care of. The employee has control over those funds that have been set aside for their needs. Only Ald. David Kneebone (Dist. 1) voted against
the idea. The problem is the employees have not been represented, and the way this is written, the city could discharge the employee just before retirement, he said in explaining his opposition. It encourages people to show up to work sick so they can build up time. But most council members felt Kneebones concerns were overblown and agreed with Sullivan. She said the plan would allow retired employees to keep more of their accrued health dollars, because the money wont be taxed, and have more control over how it is spent.
Stoughton man gets jail time for strangulation

A 30-year-old Stoughton man will spend four months in jail for strangling a person while seeking money in July. Judge William Hanrahan sentenced Anderson Aug. 23 in Dane County Circuit Court. Anderson will serve the jail sentence but is eligible for Huber release, according to online court records. Hanrahan also issued three years probation, however that sentence has been withheld. If Anderson completes the conditions of his sentence, probation will not be enforced. Anderson was facing up to 16 years in prison for two felony charges strangulation and intimidating a victim. According to a criminal complaint: Police were called to a home on Taft Street after an argument between Anderson and the victim. The victim told police she believed Anderson was going through withdrawal from heroin and was seeking money to possibly buy drugs. The woman refused and was choked during an argument when she attempted to contact police. Anderson fled the home and smashed the womans phone when police sirens were heard. He was arrested a short time later in a nearby grassy area. According to online court records, conditions of Andersons sentence include: alcohol and other drug treatment, no drug use without a prescription and he must maintain full-time employment or education or be seeking the same.

Stoughton woman victim of road rage in Madison

A 26-year-old woman was injured in a road rage incident earlier this month in Madison, according to a report from the Madison Police Department. The woman suffered cuts on her arms from shards of window glass caused by a collision. According to the Madison police: The woman was driving eastbound on the Beltline and believed a man was following too closely so she tapped her brakes. The suspect, Aaron J. Cavanah, 40, of Madison, responded by passing her and slamming on his brakes. After that, she tried to get away from him by changing lanes, but he kept up with her, repeatedly swerving at her car, the report read. Eventually his truck collided with her driver's side window, showering the woman in glass, as both drove at highway speeds. The two drivers and an independent witness pulled off at Todd Drive. Cavanah claimed he was trying to escort the woman off of the freeway because he thought she was trying to kill him by hitting the brakes, according to the report. Cavanah claimed the woman swerved and tried to hit him, but the woman and witness stated otherwise. Cavanah is set to appear Oct. 7 in Dane County Circuit Court where he faces a felony charge of second degree recklessly endangering safety, online court records show. He is free on a $500 signature bond. Mark Ignatowski

Drivers need to be aware of pedestrians

We tell our kids to always use the sidewalks and crosswalks, because theyre safest for traveling. This is by and large a true statement and generally the safest way for people to travel. But being an avid runner and frequent user of the sidewalk system, you may (or may not) be surprised at the danger I see/avoid on nearly every run. Todays six-mile run required me to hit the brakes no less than three times or get hit by an inattentive/distracted driver. I witness a variety of distracted drivers (cell phones, breakfast eaters, putting on make-up, etc.), but what I see that poses the greatest threat to people on sidewalks or in crosswalks are the inattentive drivers turning to their right and only checking for traffic approaching from the same direction theyre about turn. In short, only looking for approaching cars from the left. Meanwhile, someone like myself out running on the sidewalk, or worse yet - a youngster, not knowing this danger as I do is at risk of being struck by these drivers that fail to check to their right before proceeding. We teach a check and double check technique to our teenage drivers; why as adults is it so hard to remember the basic rules of the road? Last time I checked, pedestrians have the right of way. Especially while on a sidewalk or in a crosswalk. Next time youre driving inattentively/distracted or not using the most basic of driver safety; you may not be so fortunate to have an observant-seasoned runner approaching. It may be a 6 year old who isnt aware of the danger you pose. Take the extra second it requires to keep those of us on foot or bike safe from harm. Matt Oliver Stoughton

transit to Madison for visits like doctors appointments. In fact, an entire program within RSVP of Dane County is dedicated to having volunteer drivers for the elderly and veterans who dont have family or another means to drive. When you think about it, the point of our society is to have an avenue for at least a means to live a happy and healthy life. I think a lot of people feel like they cant depend on the Madison bus system, which might not be true, but the stigma still stands. In Japan, timeliness is on the forefront of public transit and therefore makes it a reliable mode of transportation. Just imagine if parents didnt have to drive their high schoolers to the mall, or if folks who couldnt drive had a safe way to travel to appointments in Madison people would be less stressed out, have more time to spend at work or doing other activities. Even though mass transit would certainly cost more upfront, its got a lot of lasting positive effects for generations to come. Something else that made a whole lot of sense was how their convenience stores worked. When we Americans think of one of these, its a mart connected to a gas station that sells leathery hotdogs spinning on hot metal for hours on end, powdered sugar doughnut holes and Red Bull, as part of the gross array of processed convenient food. Not until I stepped foot in a Japanese convenience store did it even cross my mind that the food can also be affordable and relatively healthy. Even if you dont like sushi or fish, you could find rice or noodles. In the stores, they had whole meals for around $5-$8. And they were tasty and fresh. It boggles
Courier Hub
my mind that we somehow cant get this right in the States. Of course, they have plenty of junk food over there, too, but wouldnt it be nice to be able to quickly stop at a store to buy dinner for the kids instead of fast food? Another worry American have is paranoia about our stuff getting stolen. In Japan, people (usually) dont steal items from each other. No, really. When wed enter a hostel, wed leave our shoes in a public area. When I tell my American friends this, they always ask if I worried about them getting stolen. No one else seemed to worry, so I was compelled not to either. And it felt good to trust the strangers around me. People do steal things in Japan, but crime is nothing like it is in the states. According to JapanTalk.com, 20 percent of Japanese people are victim to a crime in a given year, compared with America at just over 39 percent and Australia at more than 50 percent. Their biggest crime is bicycle theft. A lot of us would give a sigh of relief to only have to worry about our bike getting stolen. I guess the biggest lesson I learned in Japan, besides the fact that the sushi over there is crazy cheap and crazy good, is that most of us are used to being told we take a lot of good things for granted. So it was enlightening to think about some negative parts of American society we take for granted, too, while at the same time witnessing that it could be different.

Small event becomes all-day festival

Run-walk, music, rides, emergency vehicles highlight Sept. 28 fundraiser
Victoria Vlisides
What started as a run/ walk fundraiser for the Stoughton Inclusive Dream Park has become a daylong event. Dream Fest, a community festival, and a Walk, Run and Roll, for anyone who can do one of those three, will be held at Mandt Park on Sept. 28. Its part of a fundraising effort that started in January 2012 to build an 11,000-squarefoot playground that would be accessible to the disabled in Norse Park on Kriedeman Drive. The Walk, Run and Roll starts Saturday morning with 10K and 3K routes. Dream Fest starts at 2 p.m., and both are held at Mandt Park on Fourth Street. Westby said organizers were aiming to have a small event after the run fundraiser, but with
overwhelming support, much of it from local businesses, the idea grew into a full-blown festival thats going to have a slew of activities for adults and kids. Adults can enjoy a beer sampling courtesy of Stoughton Spirits. Those 21 and older can purchase a bracelet for $25 for unlimited samples. Other activities include balloon animals, bucket truck rides courtesy of Stoughton Utilities, Zumba, balloon animals, balloon dart game, climbing wall, a bounce house, martial arts demonstrations, fire trucks on display, ambulance tours and a police car with Ole the K9 officer. Theres also live music from three local artists from 2-7 p.m. in the Arena Building which is east of the Mandt Community Center.
Cover band Saturday Morning Cartel is a Madison-based band that plays favorites from the 50s to the 00s. Other bands are G-Men, a Van Halen tribute band; and Takoa Allred, a Stoughton High School musician who was a first-place winner at the Stoughton Fair with a sound that combines punk, ska, rock and blues, according to his Facebook page. Food will be available to purchase from Montys Blue Plate Dinner, of Madison, along with Main Street Kitchen Sandwich Shop and Pizza Pit of Stoughton. An after party will be held at Deaks Pub and Grill, 1017 Nygaard St. Dream Park media coordinator Derek Westby said they will continue planning fundraising events for this

Thought for the week

God Is One But Man Is Many
If God is one, why are there so many different religions and denominations? Perhaps because man is not one, and is born of strife and is indeed strife incarnate. In comparing the Acts of the Apostles and the Quoran, one is struck by a particular similarity. Both say that they are not rejecting their religious predecessors. The seventh chapter of Acts virtually retells the story of the Hebrew Bible in recounting the preaching of Stephen, until Stephen lashes out at his hearers for not accepting the Christian message: You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit (Acts 7: 51). In the first section of the Quoran we find a similar summarizing of the Hebrew and the Christian Bible, ending with these words: The Jews say the Christians are misguided, and the Christians say it is the Jews who are misguided. Yet they both read the Scriptures. A little later the Quoran has what is almost an ecumenical profession of faith: We believe in God and that which is revealed to us; in what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes; to Moses and Jesus and the other prophets by their Lord. We make no distinction among any of them, and to God we have surrendered ourselves. We should read the scriptures with an eye for how they unite us rather than divide us from our fellow believers. Christopher Simon for Metro News Service Make every effort tokeep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:3

Budget: Residents turn out for first listening session

Continued from page 1 the priorities of the community are, Olson told the Hub . Its all about what the community values and what we can do with less of. Finance director Laurie Sullivan agreed that it was great to see any sort of response from the citizens and also pointed out that the process helps the information flow the other way, too. The hardest part of the budget process is getting input from citizens, Sullivan said. We want them to be aware of what might possibly receive cuts. Olson mingled around the room during the twohour session, taking time to hear concerns and answer questions on a one-on-one basis. Many rotated around the stations set up with charts describing the parts of the budget while being prompted to fill out a sheet describing what they viewed as most vital to the community and what they thought should not be cut in the budget. One common concern both Olson and Sullivan heard and discussed was a lack of funding toward tree upkeep and removal. As one session attendee put it, A tree branch is actually touching my neighbors car. Think of what a snow storm could do with that. According to Sullivan, brush clean-up from the trees was on the list of concerns that community members took the time to individually comment on through phone calls and emails last year as well. It fell low on the budget last year, Sullivan said. Itll take time for people to adjust to the budget change. Other concerns included the proposed smaller

New St. Anns priest enjoying Stoughton

Victoria Vlisides
Stoughton welcomed a new priest and world traveler to the community this summer. Fr. Randy Budnar was appointed priest at St. Anns Catholic Parish, taking over the reins from retired Msgr. Gerard Healy, who retired in May after 24 years at the parish. Budnar stepped in, in mid-July and said its been a smooth transition. Things were well-run and things were going strong, he said of Healys leadership. Budnar, whos grew up a hop, skip and a jump away in McFarland, has served all over and around Wisconsin, including in Monroe, Waunakee and Sun Prairie. In recent years, from 2012-13, he was also pastor for St. Peter in Elk Grove, Our Lady of Hope in Seymour, St. Michael in Calamine and Immaculate Conception in Truman. Hes been ordained as a Catholic priest since 1988 and has a bachelors degree from St. Meinrad Seminary College in Indiana and a Master of Divinity from St. Francis Theology School in Milwaukee. While working at many churches, he also enjoys the diversity of his job as pastor that allows him to do everything from public speaking to administration to teaching, he said. And just because hes stuck around pastoring doesnt mean he hasnt left the area. He racked up an impressive list of countries hes been to, including Germany, Czech Republic,
Slovak Republic, Austria, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Puerto Rico, Tanzania, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Ghana. Although he got his first taste of world traveling when he and his brother went to Australia around 2001, a lot of his travels were through being a chaplain in the Wisconsin Air National Guard for the 115 Fighter Wing at Truax Field in Madison from February 1996 to August 2001. He was also deployed two weeks in Hickum in Hawaii and five weeks to Tuzla in Bosnia. Although he is generally a soft-spoken man, hes got an adventurous side, too. I have tried skydiving, hang gliding, white-water rafting, parasailing and driving a Segway. I hiked up Mt. Quandary in Colorado, Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Mt. St. Helens in Washington and down the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Other interests include soccer, basketball, tennis, reading, playing the guitar, singing in Church and talking about religion. Budnar, who now lives in Stoughton, said hes enjoyed hitting area bike trails and that everyone here has been very welcoming. Many of the 900-family congregation are happy to welcome him, including St. Anns religious education coordinator Shaun Kleitsch. When we heard we were getting a new pastor, it was my prayer that he would be kind, humble and holy, she said. From all I know about Fr. Randy so far, he is all of these things.
budget for Stoughtons television station WSTO TV, something that a few view as a higher priority. In previous years, it has become a lower value service for the community, Olson said. Community members are now coming to me and telling me how its a great way for them to watch Stoughton High School sports or graduation. Stoughton resident Jon Lewis said he came to the meeting to stay up to date with whats happening in the community. I just want to find out whats going on during this terrible (economic) time and what theyre doing about it, Lewis said. I just want to know that my street will be plowed this winter and I will still be able to call the fire department. All of the feedback from community members that was received from the listening session will be used to alter the 2014 budget that is in the works and will further impact future budgets. The priorities and values of the community that were recorded from Monday will be kept on record to aid future budget planning. Anne Adametz
Jerri Kittleson fills out her response sheet on what services in the budget mean the most to her.
But the city isnt done collecting input. Olson encouraged anyone who could not attend to share ideas on what could help make the budget better suited to Stoughtons needs by calling or emailing her
their concerns. It excites me a great deal to work with the community and share thoughts on what concerns people, Olson said.

In brief
Sveum re-elected to WRA board
Looking to escape the cookie-cutter grocery stores and return to an age of treasured recipes, homemade goodness and all-natural taste? Sue Ebbert is hoping that her new Cooksville Country Store will attract those who are, with an old-style tradition that dates back possibly further than any other general store in the state. Ebbert, the operator of Simple Country Living near Fort Atkinson, was looking for a second location a few months ago when a customer suggested the old Cooksville General Store, vacant since January 2012. Ebbert sold beef at her store, but also many specialized cooking items, like 30 different types of spices, jams, jellies, soup mixes, pastas and more. She had never visited the store, but immediately fell in love with its charm. It needed a lot of work and we did do a lot, Ebbert said. Our thought was to kind of take it back

The Cooksville Country Store, above, will host a grand opening later this month. The store is operated by Sue Ebbert, right, who also runs a similar operation near Fort Atkinson. Ebbert said the store offers some more specialized things what you wouldnt find in your average grocery store. The store occupies the first floor of the historic Cooksville general store, a structure that has been in existence since 1847.

St. Vinnys: More visible location leads to increased donations, sales

Continued from page 1 associate executive director for St. Vincent de Paul-Madison, said the primary motivation was gaining more space. The society had successfully renovated an old car dealership in Verona into a store in 2011, and officials were confident they could do the same in Stoughton. We sort of knew how to do it knocking down the walls in the back of the showroom, extending service bays, resurfacing floors, he said. We felt more than confident in our capacity to do that, and so far it has exceeded our expectations. Stetenfeld said the new location will also provide a much more visible presence for St. Vincent de Paul in the area. While we were under

After a 5-0 dual season, Stoughton controls its own destiny in the Badger South

Turnover on downs leads to tough loss

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
After failing to make state in 2012 by three strokes, the Stoughton girls golf team felt the sting, head coach Dave Taebel said. The girls became determined to not let that happen again, and they started their offseason the next day by playing more golf, taking lessons, training and, later, playing in summer Wisconsin Jr. PGA tournaments. That hard work led the girls to shave off those extra strokes that could have meant a state berth last season, and it has finally come together with a school-record 157 to defeat Milton (179) Monday and move to 5-0 in the Badger South Conference. The win over Milton puts No. 5 Stoughton in position to control its own destiny Sept. 25 at the Badger South Conference meet. If the No. 5 Vikings win, the title is theirs outright. If the Vikings take second, they still have a chance to win outright but can finish no worse than in a tie for the title. It is exciting and something we have never done before, Dave Taebel said. It is a testament to the talent and the hard work that the girls have done. It is the way you want it to be. You want the conference tournament to decide the conference. Stoughton is not only looking to win its first conference title in the Badger South, but it also has a tough regional and sectional to look forward to. Although Taebel doesnt want the girls to overlook the conference tournament on Sept. 25, he said they should be well prepared after playing in several tournaments with the top 10 teams. Those teams are phenomenal and are well-coached, Dave Taebel said. It is a daunting task, but we like the

Senior PJ Rosowski accounted for all of the Stoughton football teams points in the first half at Collins Field on Friday, but it was the choice to not send the all-conference kicker out to punt late in the fourth quarter that may have cost Vikings a shot at upsetting Madison Edgewood in a 15-12 loss. Leading 12-7 with just under a minute-and-a-half remaining, Stoughton head coach Jason Thiry opted go for it on fourth-and-1 from the Vikings own 49-yard line. The offense remained on the field even after a delay of game pushed the Vikings back to fourth-and-6 on the 44. Rather than trying and draw the Crusaders offsides or calling on Rosowski to punt the ball away, Thiry decided to go for it only to come up a half-yard short of a first down that would have iced the win. Our offensive mentality and in this program is that we are a machine, Thiry said. The sticker is on the front of the helmet. It was a learning lesson for me as a coach, and those players included, that we are trying to get this program to the point where we can get a first down whenever we need one. Edgewood head coach Alan Minnaert for one wasnt surprised by his counterparts decision. I dont worry about what other coaches decide, Minnaert said. He obviously had a thought that he could make it. I was glad they went for it,

Vikings stopped in 1-0 loss

Generating shots on goal was not a problem for the Stoughton boys soccer team Tuesday against Oregon, but finding the back of the net was a different story. The host Vikings had 10 corner kicks and had four good chances to beat Oregon senior goalie Bradlee Wienholtz, but nothing got by him. In the end, it was a penalty kick by Oregon junior forward Nick Steidemann that was the difference in a 1-0 loss. In the first half, we had a lot of shots on goal and dominated, head coach Dave Wermuth said in a phone interview. I dont think our second half was as strong, but we still played well all game. The loss to Oregon was the second straight time a penalty kick decided the outcome. In the 56th minute, Steidemann broke free on a breakaway, and Dylan Wenker came to challenge him and close down the passing/shooting lanes. But the two
ended up tangled and knocked each other down, and the field judge called a foul. Steidemann scored on the ensuing penalty kick, and the Vikings dropped its second straight game to Oregon with just one PK as the difference. It is just one of those things that happen, and I absolutely dont blame Dylan, Wermuth said. He was playing tough defense all night. But besides the goal, there were several saves by Wienholtz that proved just as important as the offense, Dave Wermuth said. Stoughtons Andrew Beszhak put a floater toward the net, but Weinholtz, who finished with three saves, poked the ball over the net. The Vikings Endre Krumholz and Devin Keating also had shots that Weinholtz had to make difficult stops on, Dave Wermuth said. It is a tough way to lose, but it puts the kids on track for what we need to do Photo by Joe Koshollek for the rest of the season, he said. Wienholtz had four saves, while Hank Stoughtons Christian Doll (15) and Oregons Christopher McGuine go up for a header in the first half

Fighting sickness throughout the last week, the Stoughton girls swimming team was without five swimmers Tuesday evening as the team traveled to Badger South Conference rival Madison Edgewood. Stoughton, however, powered through and came away with six first-place finishes and six personal bests even though the team dropped the dual by the exact same score (100-70) as a year ago. The biggest highlight of the night came in the 500 free where the Vikings swept the top three spots behind a senior Allie Niemeyer. Despite swimming the entire 20 lengths without goggles, Niemeyer still managed to post a time of 5 minutes, 50.41 seconds followed
by Sophie Pitney and Shaylee Kooima. Stoughtons other wins came from Katherine Rude in the 200 IM ( 2:26.03), Eva Anderson in the 50 (26.71) and 100 free (with a seasonbest 58.85), Pitney in the 100 butterfly (1:08.92) and the 400 free relay (4:03), which Stoughton dominated to win by 10 seconds with a team of Eva Anderson, Averie Ness, Pitney and Rude. Posting best times for the night were: Annie Hudkins in the 200 free, Raleigh Schigur in the 200 IM and Olivia Lenz, Ashley Foss, Ellie Trotter and Colena Sankbeil in the 50 free. The girls continue to improve and have fun as a team, head coach Elise McLaury said. They are looking forward to having some fun at the Milton Invite (Saturday) as many of the girls are switching events or trying new ones.

From where she was a year ago to now surprises even freshman Aly Weum who has cemented her role as the Vikings second runner in just three meets. Missing all of her eighth-grade season with an illness, Weum trained nearly everyday coming into this season knowing she could potentially be running up near the front of the Vikings pack with Nikki Staffen. While she acknowledged, It was really hard to get back into the groove of things, Weum said, I knew that if I kept training and going to all the captains practices and putting in my hours eventually this season this is where I would be. Where she is was good enough to finish 15th overall at Thursdays Madison West Invitational in a lifetime 4K best 16 minutes, 15 seconds nearly a second faster than her time a week ago at Verona. I always say, I can go nowhere but up because as the race goes on it gets better and better. Stoughton will have to find a way to get better if they wish to take the Badger South crown. Thursday provided the Vikings their first opportunity to go head-to-head against Madison Edgewood, which showed Stoughton there is still a lot of work to be done. Edgewood is better than I had hoped and should be a top team in Division 2, head coach Patrick Schneider said. However, we still have many weeks until conference so I dont think we should count ourselves out of conference contention. As I always say, lots of things

Defending Badger South Conference champion Amy Davis won the race in 14:45, while senior teammate Courtney Link (15:15) finished third. We are just going to focus on what we can control and I know that our girls are working hard and running well, Schneider said. So far we have beaten all the teams in our sectional. Madison Memorial (80) and
Waunakee (109) rounded out the top four. Junior Nikki Staffen once again led the pack, finishing fourth overall in 15:20, while senior Ashley Harnack (16:26) crossed the line as the teams third runner in 21st place. They are so encouraging, Weum said of her upperclassmen teammates. They always put a smile on your face. Our captain Ashley is one of the most encouraging, hard working people I know.

Stoughton closes out Fort Atkinson for first conference win

Freshman Sarah Benoy and Payton Kahl played to Stoughtons most competitive match in a 7-0 loss Tuesday at Quann Park against Madison Edgewood. Benoy and Kahl, who have been one of the Vikings most consistent flights all season, fell 6-3, 6-4 at No. 1 doubles. The Vikings were without Marissa Despins (illness), Natalie Clerkin (injury) and Katelyn Hedman. I was thinking that we had a shot at two or three wins tonight, but going into a match against Edgewood without three of your top 10 players certainly isnt what you want, head coach Ryan Reischel said.

Continued from page 9 because I thought our chances were better at stopping them on fourthand-6. He rolled the dice. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. Minnaert added, People would have thought I was pretty stupid if we hadnt scored our touchdown on fourth down. Unlike the Vikings, Edgewood was trailing by two field goals on its first possession of the third quarter from the 5-yard line when they scored on a halfback option pass from sophomore Jack Dunn to Wendler. Still, it was the poise of Crusaders senior quarterback Bobby Dunn that sealed Stoughtons fate as after throwing incomplete on first down, Dunn found fellow senior Alex Wendler on back-to-back out routes to move the ball to the Stoughton 26. Two plays later, Dunn connected with senior wide receiver Jake Dragoo, who came clean across the middle in the end zone which pushed Edgewood ahead 15-12 with the ensuing 2-point conversion pass from Dunn to Evan Bondoc with 49 seconds remaining. One of our issues has been we play way better when we are ahead, Minnaert said. You have to give Stoughton credit, those kids played really hard and our kids got frustrated in the first half. Despite a 10-yard strike to Rosowski and a Madison Edgewood pass interference the Vikings comeback fell short as Logans fourth-and-9 pass fell incomplete. Rosowski accounted for all of the games scoring in the first half, connecting on field goals of 35 and 41 yards. Stoughton and the Crusaders exchanged a fumble and a Chris Lund interception on back-to-back plays before another interception by Vikings senior Jayce Yellowbird setup the Vikings up with first and goal on the Stoughton 45-yard line. Three plays later the Vikings watched senior Luke Logan rack up 46 of his game-high 122 yards rushing (on 22 carries) as he broke through the line and rumbled into the end zone for a 12-7 lead following a failed 2-point conversion run. The Vikings fell to 1-3 overall with the loss while Edgewood improved to 3-1. What I saw on film, the Stoughton kids played Reedsburg very tough and Fort pretty tough, but gave up a couple of big plays, Minnaert said. Once the game gets separated their ground attack becomes irrelevant. Keeping Friday nights game close all evening, however, Logan and the Vikings were able to grind out Edgewood with 132 yards on the ground compared with just 33 by the Crusaders. The Crusaders racked up 124 yards through the air to 54 by Stoughton. Edgewoods Bobby Dunn was 15-of-23 for 124 yards, including 41 on the final touchdown drive. He was extremely poised and our kids gave him time to throw, Minnaert said of his quarterback. Logan found running back Zach Hasselberger four times for 31 yards, while the Vikings 13 first downs were more than twice as many as they had two weeks ago at Fort Atkinson.

Sending Ashley and Hannah off to state as seniors is definitely one of our biggest goals this season, Weum said. Sophomore Jenna Gardner and senior Serena Schimelpfing also competed on varsity. Stoughtons JV team finished fourth behind the fifth-place finish of junior Kelsey Jenny. Staffen once again found herself racing Madison Edgewoods Davis and Link on Tuesday at the Badger Challenge in Fort Atkinson. While Davis won the race and Link took third, Staffen was able to cross the finish in fifth place with a time of 15:37.

Mount Horeb (1:21.46.9) came in second, while Stoughton rounded out the top three in 1:22:46.3. returning runner this season, senior Santiago Sarthou feels he has to be out in front leading the pack every race this season. Such was the case once again last Thursday as Sarthou paced S t o u g h t o n w i t h a Sarthou 37th-place finish in 17:47. I feel like everyone this year kind of looks up to me, said Sarthou, a team captain this season. Its a lot different than last year I always had Jacob (Roe) who was always faster than me. Establishing a lifetime PR at Appleton in the first race out of the gate this season, Sarthou bested that mark once again on Thursday. Heading back to Yahara Hills and Verona for sectionals (the only course he hasnt PRed on so far this season), Sarthou said his goal for the rest of the season is simply to continue building upon that momentum. Hed also like to try and break 17 minutes. Ive got a long ways to go, he said. Im looking to make individual state and I think I should be able to make it, if I keep pushing myself. Only six seconds separated the Vikings second through fourth runners as freshman Owen Roe (18:31), senior Max Fergus (18:34) and freshman Tristan Jenny (18:37) finished 49th, 50th and 52nd overall. It was another 46 seconds before Stoughtons final runner crossed the finish line as freshman Garrett Model came in 61st in 19:23. Sophomore Gabe Ross also competed on varsity, but did not score. Stoughton finished last out of the 10 teams competing with a team score of 249. Junior Olin Hacker once again led the defending state champion Regents to a first-place tie, covering the 5K course in 16 minutes, 2 seconds. Madison West (56) placed its top five all in the top 16, while reaching the finishing line in just over a span of 1:05. Badger South Conference powerhouse Monroe (56) lost a tiebreaker to the Regents based on the strength of each teams sixth runner. Junior Caleb Wilson finished 18th to give West the edge as Monroe junior Jeremy Miller came in 34th overall. Verona junior Ryan Nameth (16:17) followed 15 seconds off the pace of Hacker again, while 1:36 separated the teams top five as the Wildcats finished third overall with a score of 94. Stoughton finished 10th out of the 14 teams competing at Tuesdays Badger Challenge in Fort Atkinson. Sarthou once again paced the Vikings, turning in a 25th-place finish with a time of 17:54.

Soccer: Vikes shut out Edgewood for first conference win

Continued from page 9 Guzman finished with three for Stoughton. With both Stoughton and Oregon dropping down in Division 2 this year due to enrollment and an extra division, both teams are in the same sectional. So there is a possibility the two teams can meet again down the road. It hopefully proved to the team that we still have a lot of season left to think about going toward regionals and sectionals now, Dave Wermuth said. I know my kids would love to meet them again. Oregon (5-3-1 overall, 2-0 conference) is an honorable mention after knocking Milton from the top five last week. Stoughton (4-6-1, 1-2) was coming off a shut out over Madison Edgewood.

Stoughton finishes the week at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Fort Atkinson. was the first in the conference since 2010, a year when it tired Edgewood in a game as well. Ethan Genter scored both goals for Stoughton in the first half. He scored in the sixth minute, and he added a second with an assist to Ben Veum in the 15th minute. Dave Wermuth said the offense came from a team effort he has been hoping for all season. Edgewood definitely had their chances, but I think all in all, as a team, we really started picking up pace and playing like I knew we could, Dave Wermuth said. The hope has been all year long that they work the ball up as a team and attack as a team and believe in themselves as a team. Guzman finished with six saves for the Vikings.

Store: Historic Cooksville building now a grocery store

Continued from page 8 average grocery store, she said. If youre looking for a certain, special kind of flour or grains, well carry that versus what the grocery stores would. We also try to keep it as organic as natural as possible, which is not always easy. The store has a designated gluten-free section, something she sees increased requests for. When we first opened up, we didnt first know about that, but our customers kind of regulate that, Ebbert said. When they have a suggestion I take that seriously and try to carry what theyre asking for. Cooksvilles very beginning, having been established when the little hamlet south of Stoughton was just five years old. A true relic of years long gone, it existed for years without water or indoor plumbing, which was finally installed in 2010. The building is owned by the Waukoma Masonic Lodge #90, which occupies the second floor. The interior of the first floor was recently remodeled, with old shelving removed, new coolers added and the store restocked with baking items, spices, homemade pies, locally grown produce and other specialty items. The business held a soft opening during the Labor Day weekend, but at the end of the month will be in full swing with a grand opening weekend, with hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28 and Sunday, Sept. 29. Following the grand opening, the store will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. For information, call (262) 707-4503. Come out and see us, Ebbert said. We dont require you to buy, just come out and say, Hi, look at the store and see what you think. Reed, who had been publicly calling for someone to refurbish and take over the old store, was excited about Ebberts plans to go old school with the dcor and offerings. This is great news for historic Cooksville and the greater community of Stoughton and Evansville and all the surrounding communities that know and love our little historic village, he said. Sues bringing in natural foods, whole foods, local foods minimizing the modern processed foods. That will be a great appeal to the tourists, the bicyclists, the canoeists on Bad Fish Creek, and also people from surrounding areas. People from Madison will come to see the store and the wonderful items shes stocking. Theyre tired of the Stop and shop and the quickie marts. Reed noted that the store will not sell items packaged in tin or glass. Shes trying to be concerned about the environment as well, and for a sweet, little historical general store, what more can you ask, he said. UNG reporter Bill Livick contributed to this story

Stoughton Utilities will be conducting its regular Fall Flushing Program of water mains and fire hydrants. Flushing operations will be conducted weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. starting Monday September 23 and finishing the week of October 21, 2013. Flushing is done by the opening of fire hydrants. The purpose of flushing is to remove sediment and mineral deposits that settle on the bottom of the water mains. Some temporary discoloration of water may result, but the water remains safe to drink, but could cause laundry stains. This condition may be cleared by opening the cold water faucets to full pressure briefly after flushing personnel have left the area. Please call one of our Customer Service Representatives at 873-3379 or visit us online at www.stoughtonutilities.com if you have any questions regarding our Fall Flushing Program.

FFA: Community projects help bring schools, businesses and residents together
Continued from page 1 food, she said. We have other clients who come in from other pantries and they are just amazed at what (people) receive here. Wendts students kept busy doing various chores on the land, but they also were able to understand the bigger picture of why they were doing the project. They have helped with soil sampling for nutrients needs of the crops, clearing the garden area of debris and old grape vines, old fences and rocks, he said. (Also) learning planning, time management, when to harvest, how to help others, budgeting money, working cooperatively, helping the needy, preventing damage from wildlife and how to be more self sustaining in the future. Another learning component is controlling soil erosion, managing a grassed waterway and cutting back trees that are along the field that prevent the best growth of the crops. Wendt said the FFA is planning to plant winter wheat on the land and continue with the garden on the current site, but if that doesnt come through, they hope to fine another location to continue the project. This is a great leaning and community service activity, he said.
Pantry info
The Stoughton Area Food Pantry (520 Fourth Street) is open from 9 a.m. to noon and 1-3 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday. It is closed all holidays observed by city offices. For information, call (608) 873-8103.
Life lessons
Junior Jacob Fitzsimmons, who said he stepped up his affiliation with FFA this year after working with area 4-H clubs for several years, has helped with every part of the project. In fact, he was there right from the beginning when Wendt needed a right-hand man. It was the last week of school and Mr. Wendt was like, Jacob, I need you to come out here and help quick, and I think we spent three hours out there, Fitzsimmons said. It started out as a big mess; there were a bunch of trees and we had to flatten it out and rototill it all up. And then throughout the summer, we started planting stuff and making raised beds and protecting the plants. We forgot to tie up the leaves, so the caterpillars got to them but well know that

for next year. These days, he and his sisters travel to the site two or three times a week to harvest vegetables and take them home to be weighed, washed and sorted for distribution to the various pantries. From there, the food goes to some very grateful people, as Fitzsimmons recently found out for
himself. One day I dropped off some stuff and this guy almost started crying because he could take more (food) than before, he said. He was just going to be able to take one thing of tomatoes, and now could take like 10 of them because I just brought these huge bags in. In Stoughton,
theres so much stuff now (at the food pantry), theyre able to raise the (amount of vegetables people) are able to get, because all of the things weve done and donating so much stuff down there. The students have already harvested more than 350 pounds of food, and its not even the peak
season yet, said Fitzsimmons. Were doing really good, he said. Junior Jessica Wendt credited local companies for helping the group get a solid start. Plans are to continue the project next year, though likely at a different location. We have hooked up with Furseth Farms and they have been helping us with the soybeans and theyve been fertilizing and letting us use their equipment to harvest, and the DeLong Company donated the seed, and then Cummins has been working with us and getting us the dry wood for the raised beds, she said. Not only FFA members but businesses in the community have been helping us get involved, too. Jessica Wendt, who has been in the FFA since seventh grade, said she hopes more people in the community will get involved in this project in the future as it, too, grows. Its really exciting, she said. Weve got a sign out there and everybody is stopping and asking and seeing what were doing. Its amazing to be able to take some land that hasnt been used forever and grow as much stuff as we can to donate it back to the community. And its great to know that people understand that we want to be involved our community and we want to give back.
SASD: Numbers to be finalized in October

Continued from page 1 year. The district will set its levy and mill rate and approve its budget for this fiscal year during its annual meeting Oct. 21. Stoughton School Board president Liz Menzer said it was a difficult choice, but the board decided to make sacrifices to help ease the burden on taxpayers. Three years ago, the board made a commitment to voters that we would only ask for what we truly needed, she said. Given our limited state funding, we can find ways to put every penny to good use but it is still a challenging economy. The district will be able to balance its budget without levying the full amount because of more than $1 million in cost-saving measures taken over the last year, including: The addition of HMO options for employee health plans enabled the district keep its health insurance costs flat and save $500,000 after budgeting for an 8 percent increase.
If you go
What: Stoughton Area School District Board of Education annual meeting When: 7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 21 Where: SASD Administrative and Educational Services Center, 320 North St. Energy costs came in $40,000 less than budgeted due to ongoing efficiencies. Payroll costs came in under budget, while costs for new hires replacing outgoing teachers who retired reduced expected district costs. Together, these saved between $500,000 and $600,000. Superintendent Tim Onsager said school officials realize many families in the district are still struggling financially, so it was important to control costs. We have been able to do that consistently while minimizing the impact on the quality of education we provide, he said. 68 staff positions over a five-year period to reduce expenses. Since then, the district has cut costs by more than $2.6 million by eliminating 11 positions, refinancing debt, holding down health insurance costs and implementing energy efficiency improvements, said SASD community relations director Derek Spellman. That referendum will expire at the end of next June, though, creating a shortfall of more than $3.3 million in next fiscal year alone. Menzer said when it expires, the community will have important decisions to make. Our residents again will have to decide whether they want to keep investing in our kids and our community or to make drastic budget cuts, she said. I encourage everyone to take our community survey that will be available to all households later this month or to attend our annual meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 21 at the administrative building, when the results of that survey will be shared.
