Stoughton Area School District

School funding referendum is a go

Four-year, $20 million April ballot question would be permanent
SCOTT DE LaRUEllE
Unied Newspaper Group

Facing a significant drop-off in student enrollment and recent state cuts to school funding, Stoughton Area School District officials are counting on residents

to help keep their schools viable. After making their case at a listening session prior to Mondays school board meeting and getting mostly positive feedback, members unanimously approved two resolutions that would allow the district to exceed state revenue

limits with a four-year, $20 million referendum that will appear on the April 1 ballot and would automatically renew itself. SASD officials say the referendum, which would replace two approved in 2010 that expire in June, would cost the owner of

a $200,000 house an additional $105 per year during the next four years. If the referendum were to fail, taxes would drop by $325 next year, and the district would face a shortfall of $3.1 million for the 2014-15 school year District superintendent Tim Onsager said the district needs the communitys help and funding to keep the positive momentum

going. He cited recent improvements to school programming and a 97 percent graduation rate. With your help, weve built something very special here, but we have some tough decisions to make on which course and where to go from here, he said. I honestly believe we deliver

Sandhill Elementary students ended up with a five-day weekend last week thanks to a pair of cold weather closings last Monday and Tuesday and a burst water pipe early morning on Jan. 8 that damaged the library and several classrooms and adjoining areas. Students were excused for the entire day, as cleanup crews, custodians and staff moved everything from books to large shelves and tables out of the affected areas, and cleaned up what principal Cheryl Price said was around two inches of water in the library when she arrived around 5:30 a.m. The water came from a broken pipe in a closet near the library, flooding the library and adjoining computer lab and offices before leaking downstairs. Four classrooms were damaged, and some sections of walls had to be removed in the affected areas. School was back in session on Thursday, though the library will be closed for about a week. Stoughton Area School District Community Relations Director Derek Spellman said damage in the library was pretty minimal, though school officials were still waiting to hear if the library carpet will have to be replaced. No cost estimates on repairing the damage are available yet.

Reaching the stars and beyond Tech expo returns Jan. 25

SHS senior McCune national science semifinalist
SCOTT DE LaRUEllE
Unied Newspaper Group

Young students with aspirations of greatness are often encouraged to shoot for the stars. Amara McCune is taking that advice literally, and now the Stoughton High School senior has been nationally recognized for her efforts. McCune was recently named a semifinalist in the 2014 Intel Science Talent Search (lntel STS) for her project, On the Cooling and Core Conditions of Brown Dwarfs and Their Role in Gas Giant Formation. She is one of 300 semifinalists, chosen from 1,794 entrants representing 489 high schools internationally. As such, she will receive a $1,000 award for her work, and Stoughton High School will receive $1,000 to further excellence in science, math, and/or engineering education. A group of 40 finalists will be chosen to attend the Intel Science Talent Institute in Washington, D.C. from March 6-12. McCune is quickly gaining some notoriety in her field, as she was featured in a Courier-Hub story in October about her six-week asteroid-tracking program this summer, where she wrote software to precisely measure the position and orbit of a near-Earth asteroid, 1999-KX4.

Stoughton High School senior Amara McCune, right, was named at semifinalist for a national science award for her research into brown dwarfs and gas giants in space.

New ideas

McCune said being a semifinalist in the competition is pretty huge. Its the most prestigious science competition in the nation, and its been my goal since about sophomore year, she said. I am very honored. When she first heard about the competition back in eighth grade, she thought there was no way she could be involved. A few years ago, though, she decided to give it a go, and started a years worth of research in November 2012, investigating a certain type of star called brown dwarfs, which share properties of both stars and planets. Using an astronomical database to measure the wavelengths of light of the

stars, McCune was able to estimate the age, mass and compositions of the stars as well as their interior properties and their cooling over time. From there, she was able to show an alternate method of planet formation, when a collection of interstellar gas collapses in on itself, which had previously only been applied to star formation. Pretty heady stuff for a teenager; but its par for the course for McCune, who clearly has some serious scientific career aspirations. Its a new idea, which is why I think my project was chosen to progress in the competition, she said. Planet formation is a big question in astrophysics knowing how planets form could give us clues as to how the universe evolves and how molecules for life are formed. The fact that an actual astrophysicist read my research report and thought my research was worthwhile is incredible.

Goal-oriented

SHS science teacher and academic teams coach Cindy Carter said McCune who has already been accepted at Stanford for this fall and is waiting to hear back from M.I.T. is the most self-motivated student shes ever encountered. She has taken it upon herself to seek out ways to further pursue her areas of interest, Carter said.

It has been great, because Ive been able to learn a lot more about astronomy from Amara along the way. Last year, Carter accompanied McCune to the Capital Science and Engineering Fair (CSEF) hosted by UWMadison, where McCune presented her research for the first time. She won multiple awards, which Carter said encouraged her to keep pursuing her long-time goal of earning an award in the Intel Science Talent Search. Amaras peers think that it is pretty cool that she has achieved this major accomplishment, but are also in many ways not surprised by her achievements, she said. Carter said school officials are still deciding what to do with the $1,000 from the Intel award, with some proposed ideas including using the money to support the environmental club and rocket club that McCune helped to start, or to use some of the money to help other students pursue research projects. In the meantime, McCune is keeping busy working on her project for this years Capital Science and Engineering Fair comparing methods of asteroid orbital determination and trying to find the most accurate and precise way to determine the orbit of an asteroid. Its very hard to accurately predict their orbits in the future, she said.

Stoughtonites looking for some help on technology from some of the brightest young minds in the area should mark Jan. 25 on their calendars. The Stoughton Area Center is hosting what is becoming an annual event the Technology Expo which will take place from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Jan 25 at the center, located at 248 W.

Whether people have questions on cell phones, Facebook pages, Internet searches, digital cameras, YouTube videos or iPads and tablets, they will be answered by the helpful teenage techies. The idea for the Technology Expo came from a Richland Center principal who asked a group of middle school students to do something similar in 2012, and the Stoughton

Man faces two felony charges after 5th OWI

A Town of Dunn man is facing two felony and three misdemeanor charges following his fifth OWI on Dec. 15 with his children in the car. Marshall Martinez, 36, drove into a ditch on Monday, Dec. 16, on Norman Drive in the Town of Dunn with his two children in the car, according to the criminal complaint. He faces charges of Operating While Intoxicated (fifth with passenger less than 16 years old) and Operating with Prohibited Alcohol Concentrationpassenger less than 16 years old, both felonies, along with three counts of misdemeanor bail jumping, according to online court records. The final pre-trial will take place Feb. 13, online court records show. According to the complaint: At around 4:20 p.m. Dec. 16, the Dane County Sheriffs Office was alerted to a reckless driver on Hwy. 51 at Hwy. B. People advised the sheriffs deputy the car was traveling southbound in the northbound lanes and almost caused crashes before the suspects vehicle turned into the Bay View Trailer Park, where he picked up his 11-yearold daughter and five-yearold son. The sheriffs deputy found the car in the ditch, and Martinez informed the deputy he had slid off of the roadway and gotten stuck in the snow bank. Martinez also said he was coming from Buffalo Wild Wings in Madison where he was employed. The deputy smelled intoxicants as Martinez spoke, observed bloodshot eyes and noticed slurred speech. Martinez told the deputy he had consumed two beers. The deputy administered field sobriety tests and took a preliminary breath test, which showed a .221 BAC. Scott Girard

Guidelines for election letters

Unified Newspaper Group is proud to offer a venue for public debate and welcomes letters to the editor, provided they comply with our guidelines. Political endorsements and other election letters must be submitted about two weeks before the relevant election. For the upcoming spring election, letters related to the primary must be received by Feb. 3 and will be printed by Feb. 6. General election letters need to be submitted by March 17 and will be printed March 20. Other special rules apply during election season. Letters should be no longer than 400 words. They should also contain contact information the writers full name, address, and phone number so that the paper may confirm authorship. Unsigned or anonymous letters will not be printed under any circumstances. The editorial staff of Unified Newspaper Group reserves the right to edit letters for length, clarity and appropriateness. Letters with libelous or obscene content will not be printed. Unified Newspaper Group generally only accepts letters from writers with ties to our circulation area. All letters to the editor should be of general public interest. Letters that are strictly personal lost pets, for example will not be printed. Letters that recount personal experiences, good or bad, with individual businesses will not be printed unless there is an overwhelming and compelling public interest to do so. Letters that urge readers to patronize specific businesses or specific religious faiths will not be printed, either. Thank-you letters can be printed under limited circumstances, provided they do not contain material that should instead be placed as an advertisement and reflect public, rather than promotional interests. Language, quotations, facts and research that are contained in a letter but come from another source should be attributed. Plagiarized material will not be published. Chain letters will not be printed, nor will letters already published in another newspaper or magazine. Unified Newspaper Group encourages lively public debate on issues, but it reserves the right to limit the number of exchanges between individual letter writers to ensure all writers have a chance to have their voices heard. This policy will be printed from time to time in an abbreviated form here and will be posted in its entirety on our websites.

Local Government Center

Each election year in Wisconsin, about one-third of the local government offices on the ballot will be filled by newcomers driven to office by a reformers zeal or a desire to serve their friends and neighbors. And some of them will know little about the laws that govern the conduct of local government. Thats where the UW-Extensions Local Government Center steps in. For the past 21 years, the center has worked quietly behind the Dye scenes to help neophytes learn the ropes and veteran office holders update their knowledge. Philip Freeburg, the centers local government law educator, describes the operation as a boots on the ground representation of the Wisconsin Idea. The center offers workshops, fact sheets and teleconferences on a wide range of topics: government finances, human resources, disaster management, elections and ethics. Its mission also includes expanding research and knowledge about local government education. But no function is more important than the centers efforts to educate local officials on the states Open Records and Open Meetings Laws. It frequently works in concert with associations representing the states cities, towns and counties. Nor should the center be overlooked as source of information for Wisconsin citizens who want

Letter to the editor

a valuable resource
to learn about local governance, including open meetings and open records. Given the emotional issues sand mining and land use master plans come to mind that frequently dot Wisconsins political landscape, civility can be a resource in short supply. Failure to comply with the states Open Meetings and Open Records Laws can exacerbate ill will between officials and citizens. People are keenly interested and want to learn about this, says Freeburg when asked to discuss how citizens interests and local government intersect at controversial issues. They deal with a structure completely new to them. To aid in its efforts, the center has created a 10-part video on the states Open Meeting Law. In a series of scenarios, UW students serve as would-be elected officials and government employees. They address issues ranging from proper public notice requirements for meetings to when email exchanges between elected officials might constitute a de facto meeting and violate the law. The installments serve as a basic primer on open meetings. Scenarios are presented in easily digestible bites. (For a sample clip, see http://fyi.uwex.edu/ lgcprogramstore/2012/11/openmeetings-video-teaser/.) Although the video and a related fact sheet on Wisconsins Open Meetings Law may seem elementary to experienced public officials and scholars, they can serve as valuable resources for new officeholders and the public, as well as high school and college students studying journalism

Stoughton Opera House

Award-winning Duhks to debut at Opera House

BILL LIVICK
Unied Newspaper Group

If you go
Who: The Duhks Where: Stoughton Opera House, 381 E. Main St. When: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24 Tickets: $25 for reserved seats Call: 877-4400 By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. It was very exciting, Podolak recalled. We were working really hard and touring and playing all the time. But a combination of burnout and record label downsizing led to a change of fortunes for The Duhks. Two original members, including lead singer Jessee Havey, left the band and were replaced by lead vocalist Sarah Dugas and her brother, Christian Dugas, on percussion. The band recorded another Juno-nominated album in 2007, Fast Paced World, which Podolak described as a bit more rock and rollish, with moments that were very experimental and outside the box for us. We thought it was really good. He said the music didnt sit well with adherents of traditional or rock music. We toured that record for a couple years and then sort of hit a wall, he recalled. I dont really know why, but we did. And so we decided to take a break. And in that break, we all started doing other things. The groups original fiddler, Tania Elizabeth, who had joined the original line up as an 18-year-old, left the band in 2010, and Podolak turned his attention to other projects. For a while it looked like the band might call it quits for good, Podolak said, and was largely inactive for a couple of years. But then an agent and fan of the band urged Podolak not to let The Duhks die. She asked if she could begin booking shows for the group. That led to a weird period where Sarah and Christian Dugas were still band members but not entirely committed to it, and former lead singer

Although still in their 30s, the members of The Duhks are veterans of the North American folk and acoustic-music scene. The five-piece band is making its debut appearance at the Stoughton Opera House next Friday, an event that will showcase The Duhks reverence for traditional music along with its passion for a variety of ethnic styles. Built around banjo, guitar, fiddle and the lead vocals of Jessee Havey, the band formed in 2002 intending to mix Irish, oldtimey and French Canadian music with modern percussion, said founder Leonard Podolak. Podolak hails from Winnipeg, Manitoba, where his father, Mitch, launched the Winnipeg Folk Festival in 1974 (as well as a host of other successful music festivals later) and taught Leonard to play banjo. Having grown up in the festival scene, Leonard Podolak was wellacquainted with young, talented acoustic musicians when he decided to establish the band. Hed just left a group that included Ruth Moody, one of the founding members of the Wailin Jennys, when he began to assemble The Duhks. In 2004, an intern at Sugar Hill Records caught one of the bands performances, which led to a recording contract for The Duhks. Suddenly the band had the financial backing to make expensive music videos, record a self-titled album and tour extensively. The Duhks first album, Your Daughters and Your Sons, was recorded in 2002 and nominated for a 2003 Juno Award (the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy). With the backing from Sugar Hill, the bands eponymous album was produced by Bela Fleck. It won a Juno for Best Roots & Traditional Album by a Group. The band continued to tour and perform frequently, and in 2005 recorded its third album, Migrations, produced by Tim OBrien. A single from the album was nominated for the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Country Performance

The Duhks originated in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and will make their first appearance at the Opera House next week.

Jesse Havey and percussionist Scott Senior began to show renewed interest. Essentially what happened was everyone let everybody go forward with what they were doing and what they wanted and where their heart was at, and in the end, everyone had each others back which is a beautiful thing and rare in the 21st century, Podolak explained. Before long, Havey, Senior and fiddler Tania Elizabeth had rejoined the band and The Duhks were starting to tour again. But instead of long, grueling road trips that last for months, the band has learned to take a more moderate approach. Its like two weeks on and two weeks off, nowadays, Podolak said. The days of doing 10 months a year on the road was not sustainable. Its cool when youre 19, but Im 38. After a seven-year break, the band also began recording a new album last year, which Podolak thinks will be completed and released later this year.

He said Senior has left the band and been replaced by percussionist Kevin Garcia. And guitarist Jefferson Hamer whos highly regarded in folk music circles has also joined the group. Podolak said the bands whole approach to music from touring and performing to songwriting and recording has mellowed. Its shows are still full of positive energy, however, and hes excited about the nine-show tour that includes a stop at the Opera House. Its the breakout tour for this music, Podolak said. We have a bunch of originals, some traditionals and some interpretations of songs. We always try to make them our own, he added. One of the important aspects about playing music is being inspired. And sometimes you just cant help it; youve just got to play a song that you like, whether you wrote it or not.

Thought for the week

The Appendix
If you studied human anatomy twenty or thirty years ago, you were probably taught that the appendix (or vermiform appendixthe small wormlike pouch that hangs from the cecum of the large intestine), was a useless structure, perhaps some vestigial organ that served a purpose in our long-distant past. I distinctly remember an argument some thirty years ago between my father (who argued that it must have some purpose) and my brother (who was in his first or second year of medical school, and who argued that it had none that could be discerned). My fathers argument was based on his belief that God would not have created something without a purpose. He didnt necessarily know what the purpose was, but there must be one. People do just fine without one, my brother rejoined, and he asked, furthermore, what is the purpose of eyebrows? To keep sweat from getting in your eyes was my fathers answer, and wouldnt we look pretty strange without eyebrows? Medical science now believes that the appendix is a repository for the good bacteria that colonize our intestines and which aid in all sorts of important functions, from digestion to our immune system. So score one for Dad, and the view that to everything under heaven there is indeed a purpose. We may not always know that purpose but should trust to Providence that there is one. Christopher Simon via Metro News Service The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. Proverbs 16:4

Stoughton Hospital welcomes surgeon

Stoughton Hospital is happy to welcome general surgeon, Dr. David Melnick to Stoughton Hospital. Melnick performs a broad range of elective and emergent surgical procedures for the f o l l o w i n g : Melnick gallbladder, small and large bowel, appendix, breast cancer, colon cancer, hernias, wounds and others. He also performs singlevisit, office-based procedures including the removal of cysts, skin lesions and skin cancer.

Dyreson and Teubert had both been interested in cars since they were kids. And it had always been Dyresons dream to own his own shop, which came true in 2005 when he opened TD on Stoughtons east side. But when Dyreson was diagnosed last year with Parkinsons, a degenerating nervous disorder, he began looking to sell and eventually closed in May. Over a beer one night, Dyreson suggested Teubert buy it. I wanted to find somebody that would take pride in the shop, said Dyreson, who grew up two houses down from Teubert. Teubert had recently been offered two or three other shops, but none of them made much financial sense for him, and his wife wasnt on board until she heard about Dyresons offer. When you get three, four different shop owners talking to you, that kind of shows you that, Yeah, it must be time, Teubert said. They started working out the details the next day, without beer in hand, and in the six months since he opened the new shop in June, Teubert said, things have gone surprisingly well. Tommy built a nice business, and the interchange went fairly seamless, Teubert said of the month-long process.

East-side Automotive got its new signage put up just last week, with a banner having hung there since it opened in June.

Overwhelming at first

It hasnt all been easy, though. While Teubert had plenty of experience fixing cars in a shop, he said he wasnt completely prepared to handle the parts of the job that come with owning a business, such as paperwork or talking with customers at the front desk. I havent been at the front counter forever, Teubert said. It was overwhelming at first, but I slid into it. From the start its been challenging, and Teubert said he was unsure of how quickly the business would take off. He had to have his first banner printed without a phone number because the business didnt have one yet. But last week, he got new signage up on the building, and that has helped the whole process feel more official. You never know when you buy somebody elses business if youre going to jump in running or if youre going to start wading in the water and

get deeper and deeper, he said. We jumped in and by my second day I had a full days worth of work. Now hes hired four more employees, including his wife and two people who had worked for Dyreson at TD. That means Teubert can do whatever I gotta do to help, whether thats running out for parts, answering phones or helping in the shop.

Small town feel

Endorsements from Dyreson to his former customers have helped the business grow early on. People will call me and ask Where should I take my car now? Dyreson said. Once theyve met Troy, theyve been real happy. Teubert has also benefited from having lived in Stoughton for a long time and building plenty of connections with others in the business, even though he hadnt worked here in 15 or 20 years. He said serving the community

is his ultimate goal, and thats what inspired him to offer 10 percent discounts to first responders, police, fire and military personnel. The military personnel discount was a no-brainer for Teubert, who helps out at the Stoughton VFW and whose mother and father were both in the military. The other discounts were because he felt it was the right thing to do. It shows how by not being greedy how well you can do in short order, he said. A discount alone will get them in the door. Good treatment will keep them coming back. Instead of just being about our wallet, its about helping the community as much as we can, also. That attitude goes back to 2005, when Teubert helped Dyreson build the shop thats now his, moving equipment and even insisting on a heated floor for the shop to help through the cold Wisconsin winters. Its kind of funny how things go full circle, Dyreson said.

Glover buries Fury

JErEMY JoNEs
Sports Editor

McFarland senior defenseman Katie Glover scored a pair of goals Tuesday as the MSO Icebergs girls hockey co-op skated to a 2-0 Badger Conference win inside the Mandt Community Center. Stoughton forward Rachel Dvorak and Monona Grove defenseman Sara Wollin assisted on both scores. The victory improved the Icebergs to 19-5-2 overall and 3-1-1 in the Badger Conference, while the Rock County Fury fell to 7-7-1, 1-3-1. Tonight was a good performance for us after having a postponed game, a canceled game and a canceled practice resulting in five days off, Icebergs head coach Mike Jochmann said. Kenzie Torpy stopped 25 shots in the win. Stoughton travels to Viroqua Community Arena at 7:30 p.m. on Friday for a conference game against the Blackhawks (0-7-0, 0-5-0) and then to Weston at 2 p.m. Saturday to face the second-ranked Central Wisconsin Storm (133-1).

Open shots and points were tough to come by for the Stoughton boys basketball team Monday in a Badger South makeup game at Oregon High School, but all Stoughton needed was one big play at the end. Senior PJ Rosowski worked his way open on the perimeter with 14

a 31-29 win. Trying to get a good shot was the most important thing, Rosowski Team W L said. Will (Clark) did a good job getting to the gap, and that is something Monona Grove 4 0 we have been working on all year.

Milton 1 2 Stoughton (8-2 overall, 3-1 BadMonroe 1 2 ger South) led by 13 at one point, after junior forward Nick McGlynn Fort Atkinson 1 3 scored three baskets, two on offensive Oregon 1 4 rebounds, senior Luke Logan added a basket and freshman Troy Slaby seconds left and drained a 3-pointer knocked in two free throws to start the that proved to be the game-winner in third quarter. But the Panthers (4-6,

1-4) slowly chipped away at the lead. Oregon senior guard Shaw Storey drove into the lane for a basket and a foul to tie the game with 5 minutes, 40 seconds to play. Storey missed the free throw, but senior guard Jon Conduah later gave Oregon its first lead since the first quarter with a 2-pointer to make it 27-25. Clark (seven points) nailed a 3-pointer to give the Vikings the lead back at 2:58, but Oregon senior forward Andrew McCauley made a putback 30 seconds later to make it 29-28.

Friday nights game between the top-ranked Bay Area Ice Bears (12-1-0) and 10th-ranked Stoughton Icebergs was canceled due to unsafe travel conditions. No make-up date had been announced as of Tuesday, though Jochmann said a make-up game doesnt look likely.

No. 8 Stoughton falls to No. 9 Milton

The eighth-ranked Stoughton High School varsity wrestling team continued its struggles against No. 9 Milton last Friday in a Badger South dual. The Vikings, which have not fared well with the Red Hawks in the last four years, only won five out of 14 matches in a 37-21 loss. The good news is that several matches could have gone the way of the Vikings with a couple of close decisions that might have changed Stoughtons fate. Freshman honorable mention on wiwrestling.com Brandon Klein (106 pounds) lost 3-2 to No. 14 Dalton Shea, while freshman Garrett Model (120) lost 6-4 to junior Nolan Shea, ranked No. 1 at 113 pounds. Nolan Shea has won back-to-back state titles and will be looking to make it three in February. Junior Patrick Reilly (160) won 3-2 over Kaleb Crane, while senior Brian Wagner (195) won by a 19-9 major decision over Randy Lipke. Junior Zach Hasselberger, ranked

Hockey: Stoughton pulls upset, falls at Monona Grove

Continued from page 9 a conference title with a win tonight, if we won out the rest of the season. That was our goal coming into tonight. Stoughton dropped to 7-6-2 overall (2-3-0 conference) with the loss, while the Silver Eagles improved to 11-3-0, 4-1-0. Stoughton senior goaltender Taylor Lyons finished with 27 saves. The Vikings drop the puck against McFarland at 7 p.m. Thursday. prevailed 3-2 over host Madison Edgewood. The win marked Stoughtons first victory over the Crusaders dating back to Feb. 3, 2011. The mood in the locker room was very happy, excited and accomplished after the game, first-year Vikings head coach Kris Rosholt said. They played their hearts out and earned that win, Rosholt added. It was a very proud moment as a coach to see all my players work their tails off and then get rewarded for it and to see all of the smiles was priceless. Miller recorded a pair of goals in the win, including the game-winner thanks to the work of linemate Aaron Shanklin, who forced a turnover deep in the Edgewood zone. The puck bounced away right to Aussie, who was in front of the net and he scored, Rosholt said. Junior defenseman Robby Volk added the Vikings other goal. Edgewoods Tony Rehm finished with 27 saves in the loss

Boys BB: Vikings lose tough one at Monona Grove

Continued from page 9 After nearly two minutes of scoreless basketball, including two missed free throws by Stoughton junior Nick McGlynn, Rosowski worked to get open on the perimeter and drained the 3-pointer with 14.4 seconds left. Sometimes you can play your best game and it doesnt mean a W. Sometimes you play a really bad game and can get the W. That is life, Oregon head coach Jon Nedelcoff said. Conduah gave the Panthers a shot to send the game into overtime by working his way to the inside and sending up an open shot, but the ball hit the rim and shot to the other side of the floor where Rosowski, who scored nine points, secured the rebound and was fouled. Every road win is a big win in our conference, and anytime you can pull it out, you are glad to get out of there with the win, Rosowski said. This is a big rivalry, and we like to take care of it every single year. Defense was the main reason why Stoughton had a tough game in the first place, with Oregon players not only challenging the ball handlers at the perimeter but also by clogging the paint and double- and triple-teaming McGlynn. McGlynn, who averages 16 points a game, was held to just eight, while the Vikings as a whole were held to 26.8 percent shooting from the field (12-for42). Luckily for Stoughton, its defense also limited the Panthers to tough shots. Oregon shot 32.5 percent (13-for-40) from the field. I thought they were relentless at times and really did a nice job with how

they rotated it defensively from when the ball got swung and when we reversed it, head coach Matt Hockett said. Another big discrepancy was the rebounds with Stoughton outrebounding Oregon 38-24, including 9-3 on the offensive glass. Half of McGlynns points came from offensive rebounds. We came out at halftime, and we wanted to get the ball inside. And as tough as it was, the best way to do that was high-low action, Hockett said. I thought we did that well early, and another thing we did very well early was

we got on the glass and outrebounded to start that third quarter. Stoughton returns to the court at home for the first time since Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. Friday against Milton. The Vikings then host Monroe at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Swim: 200 free and 200 IM carry Vikings past Oregon

Continued from page 10 couldnt have asked for much better. Junior Ben Schleppenbach joined the under-a-minute club in the 100 backstroke, dropping two seconds to win the event in 59.67 one of six victories Stoughton picked up on the night. Schleppenbach dropped four seconds in the 200-yard IM (2:18.67) and finished second in the process. Senior Connor Sawyers managed an unusual double, adding wins in the 200 (1:56.03) and 50 freestyle (23.71). Sophomore Sam Hynek finished runner-up in the 100 free, going a personal best 51.6. Two-tenths of a second separated junior Adam Fryer and first place in an extremely close 500 free race as Michael Gerondale just out touched Fryer. Meanwhile, Stoughton sophomore Ian Trautman dropped two seconds in the 100 butterfly (1:07.59) to finish third. The Vikings showed their depth by winning all the varsity relays, as well as, going best times in the 200 medley and 200 free. Sophomore Tristin Heisig, Hynek, Fryer and Sawyers posted a 1:37.28 in the 200 free, while sophomore Gabe Ross, Schleppenbach, Sawyers and Hynek opened the meet with a time of 1:48.87 in the 200 medley. Heisig, Fryer, Trautman and Schleppenbach closed out the evening by taking the 400 free in 3:53.07. The boys are a month out from the conference and have already shown such huge improvements since the beginning of the season, Kruszewski said. Its always great to see all their hard work start to pay off. Even though the boys varsity boys lost, Kruszewski was pleased that Stoughtons JV team won 76-59, as the Vikings finished the meet with 26 season bests. As a team, we want to move up in every meet we swim, or finish with higher points than we did last year, Kruszewski said. The boys have done that so far, but I believe they still have a lot to prove to this conference and themselves. Oregon Panthers once again Tuesday. In search of the teams first Badger South Conference dual meet win of the season, Stoughton got just that, winning seven of 11 events en route to a 92-78 victory. Sawyers took the 200 meter IM (2:31.18) and the 100 free (59.02), while Hynek added the 50 free (26.43). Fryer chipped in by taking the 200 free (2:17.61) and Schleppenbach secured the 100 back (1:06.47). Stoughtons lone relay win didnt come until the very Stoughton 92, Oregon 78 last race where Hynek, Fryer, The Vikings traveled up Heisig and Sawyers posted a Hwy. 138 to face the rival meet-best 4:09.16.

Referendum: Even with additional funds, some cuts might still be made in April
Continued from page 1 highly valuable education, extremely above average, at a below-average cost. Were proud of the progress our students and staff have made. Board members chose a recurring referendum over a non-recurring one even though Onsager admitted it would be a more difficult sell to voters. He explained that a non-recurring referendum would not solve the districts core issues, forcing the board to come back for more money just as it is this year. (Board members) would rather be upfront with the voters and the community, he said. We cannot assume that after four years were going to be able to pass a referendum where we had an $8 million starting point we have to cut $3.1 million (for next year), and those are drastic cuts that cut into the meat and bone. Looking to the near future, Onsager said the districts projected operational deficit for 2018-19 exceeds $8.9 million so the school board would have to come back for a third referendum if a nonrecurring referendum were passed. On the other hand, he said a recurring referendum would set a dollar amount each year that would step up every year, but after four years it would be capped. The board cant exceed that amount without going back to the taxpayers, he said. After four years, it would go up by whatever the state would allow us to go per pupil above that. In the meantime, the hope is to work with the city and townships to attract young families to the area. We cant cut our way out of this, Onsager said. We can grow our way out of this by getting more students into our district, and thats what were going to try to do. the early 1990s basically locked in a districts spending ability. With Stoughton being a lower-spending district at the time, it was locked into a lower rate for years, and other state legislation over the years essentially forced districts to either grow or cut and Stoughton wasnt growing. Then Act 10 and the 2011-13 biennial state budget forced the district to decrease expenditures by $400-something per student, Onsager said. That means we rely more and more on local property taxes just to sustain our operations, he said, citing statistics that show state aid has dropped from 52.3 to 40.1 percent of district revenues since 2006-07. Property taxes accounted for 48.6 percent of the budget this year, compared with 32.3 in 2006-07. The drop-off in student enrollment is projected to be a dramatic one in the nottoo-distant future, further cutting off potential revenue. According to district statistics, this years freshman

Declining enrollment and recent state cuts to school funding are two major financial problems district officials are facing, with little immediate hope of relief. Onsager said state-imposed revenue caps established in

class has 290 students, compared with only 190 in the kindergarten. Population numbers in the district are less than encouraging, with the population of city residents under the age of 35 dropping from 49.6 percent in 2000 to 44.5 percent in 2010, meaning fewer young families with children the lifeblood of school districts, which are reimbursed per student by the state. But its not just declining enrollment that worries district officials; its also the potential loss of current students to other districts through open enrollment. We know that parents shop around for school districts, Onsager said. I cant see how a decrease in the quality of education in Stoughton helps increase property values or make Stoughton a great place for families or businesses.

District resident Elva Tyson, who has a daughter at Stoughton High School, speaks during Mondays listening session.

Elva Tyson, who has a daughter in high school and a recently graduated son, said the district has improved in the past years, and parents are watching. Strong schools build strong communities, she said. The average impact (of the proposed referendum) is 12 bucks a month to make sure we continue offering our kids the benefits my son and daughter have had. Its (good) for our community to attract families. It sounds like it might be a lot to say our property taxes might increase, and I think people are fearful its going to be a huge increase, so its important that the word gets out that this is very manageable. Onsager said district residents all have a stake in the schools success, whether they have children enrolled in them or not. He cited studies that show higherperforming schools increase property values, attract new businesses and positively affect the quality of life, including a reduced crime rate. As our school goes, so goes our community, he said. We are truly linked.

Plats: Reviews set for February after public hearing

Continued from page 1 which involves a special Planning Commission meeting and a doubled-up review of what normally are two separate steps, was set to accommodate the developers schedule with what had previously been an undisclosed retailer. Monday, before that bombshell announcement, the commission approved an expedited review schedule that would allow officials and the public to review and comment on the preliminary and final maps all at once next month. The plat maps detail the dimensions and locations of the specific land parcels, and that goes a long way toward determining the maximum size of retailers there. The plat approval is not part of the complex planned-unit development zoning process the development is in the midst of, but rather another step in determining what lot sizes will be present and what roadways will be included

Wal-Mart: Rumors
inspired announcement
Continued from page 1 there had been significant speculation as to who is the anchor tenant in the commercial center, and that the developers have been subject to a confidentiality agreement with Wal-Mart. But because rumors have reached a crescendo over the past several days, the developers decided to ask for Wal-Marts permission to reveal that it would be the anchor of the proposed commercial center, Trachtenberg said. He said the developers were not authorized to disclose any other terms of the agreement between Kettle Park West LLC and WalMart. Dennis Steinkraus, development manager for Forward Development Group, told the Hub that if approved by the city, the new WalMart building would be in the range of 150,000 square feet. Thats almost four times the size of the existing Wal-Mart store in Stoughton. Steinkraus said the developers would like to begin construction this spring and have the new Wal-Mart open for business by the fall of 2015. There really isnt a project yet, he said. We still need the citys approval for a number of things. City officials said they could have more information about a possible TIF package and development agreement on Wednesday, depending on what the council decided during its closed session discussions. When the council does determine the details of a development agreement and tax-increment financing, it would authorize attorney Matt Dregne to draft the necessary documents for the council to consider and vote on at some point in the near future. Some residents have been upset that city officials and the developers had not revealed the identity of the potential anchor earlier. Theyve criticized what they considered too much secrecy around the project. But Trachtenberg said Tuesday that city officials had not been told the anchor business identity and only learned it along with the rest of the council at the meeting. That disclosure will surely be controversial in the city, which fought a pitched battle over Wal-Marts bid to build a 155,000-square-foot SuperCenter about 10 years ago. After some concessions on what was known as the 183-acre Linnerud tract, the company got some initial approvals and was on track to build a new store on 25 acres, but plans were delayed in 2008 in what the company called part of a change in global strategy. Mayor Donna Olson and key staff members have expressed strong support of the project, though they had not commented on the specific retailer as of Tuesday night. Critics of the Kettle Park West development and Wal-Mart opponents have also expressed concern that a commercial center on the northern outskirts of the city would have a detrimental effect on downtown businesses. Steinkraus disagreed Tuesday. He said three other commercial/retail businesses would be built and open at the same time as the Wal-Mart store, which would draw more shoppers to Stoughton and benefit the business community overall. You need a certain mass for that to happen, he said. The timing is right for this development. A majority on the Common Council has consistently voted to more forward with the development, although there has also been a significant number of alders as much a quarter or a third of the council who have voted against various resolutions. Some of those alders said they would vote against moving ahead until they knew the identity of the big box anchor.

If you go
What: Public hearing on Kettle Park West plats When: 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18 Where: Public Safety Building, 321 S. 4th St. Info: ci.stoughton.wi.us in the area. Preliminary plans indicated an anchor retailer that could be as big as 126,000 square feet significantly smaller than a normal Wal-Mart SuperCenter but big enough to fit a variety of big-box stores, including some hybrid SuperCenters. The citys big-box ordinance caps buildings at 155,000 square feet. After Forward Development Group manager Dennis Steinkraus made his announcement, the council went into closed session Tuesday to discuss the use of tax-increment financing and a developers agreement for the project.

City planning and development director Rodney Scheel told Planning Commission members Monday the city would be able to legally review the two plats at once because they developer has had many discussions with city staff and the public about what the lots might look like in Kettle Park West. Weve had a lot of dialogue about this at different levels, Scheel said. Each iteration allows for additional review and input I think this still does. The review process will involve a public hearing, slated for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, at the citys Public Safety Building. The Tuesday meeting is a departure from the commissions regularly scheduled Monday meetings. The timing was changed to allow for a review process of 60 days, Scheel told the Hub . City staff including the planning department, public works and utilities will all provide comments on the plats,

Scheel said. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation will also review the plats. The Planning Commission could recommend approval of the plats Feb. 18 and they would then go to council for debate and possible approval the following Tuesday. The preliminary plat really does legwork of putting together infrastructure and the conceptual design and layout of utilities, grading plans and the like, Scheel said Monday. The final plat is document that would affect the placement of the lots. Steinkraus requested the combined review and approval in part because of where the city is at with its zoning review. In a letter to the city, Steinkraus said the lot configuration is in general conformity with the approved comprehensive plan and the approved (general development plan). In addition, the area doesnt have any extensive or complicated engineering plans for utility infrastructure, and the proposed Jackson Street design fits city standards, the letter asserted. Steinkraus also wrote that the proposed plat has access points to and from the two major highways that border the area that align with Wisconsin Department of Transportation plans. His letter said the expedited schedule would fit with the companys real estate closing schedule. Steinkraus said in a phone call earlier this week that his hope was to close on the property by April.
