All patrol officers will wear body cameras in Stoughton next year
Seth jovaag
Inside
Hub correspondent
Nine months ago, Stoughton police

acquired six tiny, body-worn cameras
that clip to officers uniforms. Ten more
are on the way in 2015, enough for each
patrol officer.
The battery-powered cameras are
smaller than a pager and capture highquality video and audio of cops interactions with the public, said police chief
Greg Leck.
There are a ton of uses, Leck said.
Patrol officers are regularly using them
on field interviews. Its nice to have that
initial report verified with the video.
Unlike in Madison, where the police
chief and mayor this month held a press
conference to announce they might begin
using cameras in early 2016, Stoughtons cameras have sparked little discussion locally.
Stoughton police purchased the first
six cameras through federal funding, and
$10,000 for the next 10 was included in
the citys 2015 budget. Neither decision
sparked opposition from city officials or
officers, Leck said.
There really wasnt any pushback at
all, he said.
Body cameras have made headlines
lately as a new tool for law enforcement.
Proponents claim they could dispel distrust of law enforcement fueled by police
Stoughton hasnt used

killings of unarmed men this year in Ferguson, Mo., and New York City. Critics
see it as a potentially costly requirement
that raises privacy concerns for officers
and citizens alike.
This month, President Obama asked
Congress to spend $75 million to
help purchase 50,000 cameras for law
enforcement agencies nationwide.
In Dane County, body cameras are still
rare. McFarland acquired five last year,
said police chief Craig Sherven. Middleton has four, DeForest has one, and Blue
Mounds just received one, according to
the Wisconsin State Journal.
Staff with the state Department of Justices training and standards bureau and
the Wisconsin Professional Police Association said they dont have statewide
estimates of how many agencies use
them.
Leck said he wanted the cameras
because they provide solid evidence and
can make police work more transparent
and accountable. Video footage can also

help train officers and help them refute

false accusations of misconduct, he said.
It fills a void weve had for videotaping, he said.
Policies yet to come

Policies are still being developed as
officers use the devices, Leck said. The
rules will be created within the department and mirror guidelines crafted by
the International Association of Chiefs
of Police but be tailored to fit local
needs, he said.
Unlike squad car cameras, which
activate when the emergency lights or
siren is triggered, body cameras must be
switched on or off by officers.
Leck said hell require officers to
wear the devices but will only encourage them to turn them on during arrests
or other actions. Further guidelines for
when officers should turn the cameras on
or off are being developed.
I dont want to penalize an officer
for, in the heat of the moment, reacting
to save their own lives or saving someone elses lives and they forget to turn
the camera on, he said.
Police dont have to inform citizens
theyre on camera, Leck said. They
also cant delete or tamper with the videos, which are automatically uploaded
at the end of an officers shift. Only

The Common Council last week defeated an

effort to place an advisory referendum question on tax-increment financing for Kettle Park
West (KPW) on the April election ballot.
By a 6-5 vote, KPW proponents voted down
Ald. Tom Selsors proposed question: Should
the City of Stoughton borrow an approximate
amount of five million and one hundred thousand dollars in TIF funding to be used in support of the Kettle Park West Development?
Several attempted amendments to the main
motion were also defeated, and the final vote
broke along familiar lines. The councils 12
alders have been evenly divided for months
over the controversial development and the
citys obligation to borrow $5.1 million in the
next two years to fund infrastructure improvements near the 35-acre commercial center,
which will be built at the northwest corner of
the Hwys. 51/138 intersection.
The councils split has often given Mayor
Donna Olson an option to break the tie by
voting in favor of the development. Her vote
wasnt needed last Tuesday, however, because
Ald. Tricia Suess (D-3) was absent.
Suess had voted in favor of the development
for most of 2014 but changed her position in
October, making the split 6-6.

Drinking water at the school was shut off

When it comes to technology, all the fancy computers and gadgets are useless without access.
Thats why Stoughton
Area School District officials are excited about
recent upgrades to schools
that have increased students abilities to work
online. Since last school
year, the district added 100
desktop computers, 100
laptop computers and 230
Chromebooks. The district
also improved 60 access
points for wireless devices
at the high school, moving the old systems to the
elementary and middle
schools.
SASD director of information systems Paul Vande
Hei, who gave Stoughton
School Board members a
technology update at their
Dec. 1 meeting, said the
goal of the district is to
increase access for students
and teachers by adding
more devices and ways to
connect to technology.
The district supports
5,000 users of 3,600 devices in six district buildings and five community
buildings. While many
devices belong to students
and teachers, there are
an increasing number of
school-issued tools, as well.
This year, all River Bluff
Middle School science
classes have 30 Chromebooks for students to use.
Thats because district officials were able to spend
textbook money on the digital devices.
This allows us to have
the students experience a
textbook in a digital format, Vande Hei told the
board.
In addition to giving
teachers much more flexibility in class, he said it
also makes it easy for students to take the increasing
number of required online
tests in one well-equipped
room, rather than cobbling
together resources from
around a building.
Before, wed have a few
laptops, and a Chromebook
cart here or there, he said.

Council: City attorney recommends not putting KPW referendum on the April ballot
Continued from page 1
Ron Christianson, Eric Hohol,
Sonny Swangstu, Pat OConnor,
Greg Jenson and Paul Lawrence. Council president Michael
Engelberger, Tim Swadley, Tom
Majewski and Sid Boersma joined
Selsor in voting to place the referendum on the April 7 ballot.
Introducing the proposal, Selsor
(D-4) said both sides in the debate
have claimed to have a majority of the community supporting
their position. He called Kettle
Park West in all probability the
most important decision in the
citys history and noted that the
referendum would be nonbinding and would not change that the
city is bound to the agreement it
signed with Forward Development Group.
The agreement may get
stopped, but not by this referendum, he said. It would be a real
travesty to go into this project and
never know what the city thinks.
Christianson (D-2) disagreed,
asserting before the vote that the
community had already spoken
on the development through the
electoral process.
The debate
Engelberger (D-2) suggested
there may be a way to make the
referendum binding and said he
would like to do so. He asked city
attorney Matt Dregnes opinion.
Dregne recommended against
placing the proposed referendum
on the ballot.
The council has already
approved the developer agreement and the city is bound by
that, he said.
A referendum would confuse and mislead the people
of Stoughton into thinking they
could stop the project by voting
against it, Dregne said.
Several alders disagreed with
Dregnes analysis, but Hohol
(D-4) agreed.
Four lots by June

The Kettle Park West
development includes a
153,000-square-foot Wal-Mart
Supercenter, a Kwik Trip, an
unnamed financial institution
(such as a bank or credit union)
and another unnamed commercial enterprise in the developments first phase, which is on
35 acres.
The commercial center comprises eight lots.
Wal-Mart will be built on
lot 2 and Kwik Trip on lot 6.
Lots 4 and 5 are the other two
lots that must be sold by June
30, 2015, per the development
agreement. Lots 3, 7 and 8 are
also available for development.
Lot 1 is not available for construction because of its proximity to and access issues with
state Hwy. 138.
He proposed an alternative referendum: The City of Stoughton over the last 10 years has had
one of the lowest growth rates in
Dane County, which is negatively affecting local schools and an
ability to fund vital city services.
In that regard, do you agree with
the recent council decision to
incent economic development in
our community through the use of
TIF funding for Kettle Park West
as approved in November 2014?
Hohol said the language of his
question was a little more neutral than Selsors and would
simply ask residents if they agree
with the councils actions.
Opponents derided Hohols
assertion that his proposal was
more neutral, and his amendment
failed on a 8-3 vote, with only
Jenson (D-3) and Swangstu (D-1)
supporting it.
At one point, Swadley (D-1)
asked Dregne if the council had

Bill Livick
Stoughton Forward, a group

led by activist Buzz Davis and
friends, is not done trying to prevent a new Wal-Mart Supercenter
from being built and the KPW
development from becoming a
reality on the citys west side.
The organization
plans to launch a
petition drive in
order to place three
referendum questions on the April
7 election ballot
two advisory referendums and one Davis
that would become
a city ordinance.
The group has not yet started its
petition drive. It will have 60 days
per state statute to gather the signatures once it begins the process.
When Stoughton Forward submits its petitions to the city, the
clerk has 15 days to review the
signatures and make sure theyre
valid. The matter then goes to the
Common Council.
They have 30 days to pass the
ordinance, or it automatically goes
on the ballot for the next election, Davis said.
The direct legislation, which
is the ordinance, should be at the
Dane County clerks office six
weeks or 42 days before the election, and that is our target.
Attorney: Referendum wouldnt be legal

City attorney Matt Dregne does
not believe a referendum proposed
by several alders to prevent Kettle
Park West from moving forward
would pass legal muster.
He told that to the council last
Tuesday and reiterated that opinion
in an email to the Courier Hub: As
I understand the law, the direct legislation process could not be used
to repeal decisions already made by
the Common Council.
Dregne also sent the following to
support his position:
The Wisconsin Supreme
Court has held that direct legislation (under Section 9.20 of the
If Stoughton Forward is successful, the ordinance would
require voter approval, through a
referendum, for the city to borrow
more than $1 million to be used in
a TIF district.
In order to have the referendums
put on the ballot, the group must
gather signatures from at least
15 percent of the total number of
Stoughton residents who voted in
the last gubernatorial election.
Davis said that amounts to 866
valid signatures, and Stoughton
Forwards goal is 1,000 signatures.
He told the Courier Hub on
Tuesday that hes sent the referendums to the Government Accountability Board for its review and is
waiting for a response.

Wisconsin Statutes) is subject to

four limitations that are implicit in
the direct legislation statute. Community Alert v. Mount Horeb, 2003
WI 100, par. 9:
A proposed ordinance or resolution: (1) must be legislative as
opposed to administrative or executive in nature; (2) cannot repeal an
existing ordinance; (3) may not
exceed the legislative powers conferred upon the governing body;
and, (4) may not modify statutorily prescribed procedures or standards.
Bill Livick
has already looked over the documents, Davis said. Ive been
involved in quite a few referendums, and everything looks hunky
dory to me and to him, so were
ready to go. We just wanted to
have a final assurance from the
GAB. If we get it, thats good. If
not, well go it alone.
Stoughton Forward also plans to
sue the city over its approval process for KPW, Davis said.
Our lawyer cant start the work
until we have $3,000 in cash or
pledges. We think well be there
in a couple days.
Davis said its too soon to talk
about his groups basis for the
lawsuit. But he did say Stoughton
Forward has a strong case to sue

There is a sense in which we

find ourselves in the world with a
very definite nature, a nature that
is a product of both our biological
inheritance and the society we are
born and raised in.
We can no more throw off our
genes or the contributions of our
society than a Zebra can throw off
its stripes. But, we are also more
than just our genes and our social
upbringing.
We make choices from a young
age which determine the direction
and shape of our destiny.
Geneticists now know that certain genes are in fact turned on or
off in response to certain events,
and some of those events are
things of our own choosing.
Our wonderful journey through
life is both a journey of self-discovery and a process of self-invention.
Who we are and who we will
become are always struggling with
and playing off of each other. Strive
to know yourself, but also become
the best person you can be.

Water: Lead levels monitored
Part of larger issue

The schools water tests
were prompted by a letter sent to the district from
Stoughton Utilities on Sept.
9, stating that water tests
around the city showed
some levels of lead above
the public health standard
of 15 parts per billion.
In response, the district
had voluntary follow-up
tests done at all facilities,
and River Bluff was slightly above the lead action
level of 16 parts per billion. At the Oct. 6 board
meeting, district superintendent Tim Onsager said
two of four areas in the
school came back positive
for elevated levels, including the water line coming
into the building.
As the district has been
bringing in bottled water
since Sept. 30, the cost is
adding up, Pickett said. The
school has around 660 students.
Its getting old, she
said. Theres cups of
water and people lugging
jugs around; its not ideal.
I think the kids are getting
tired of it. We hit that point
where, alright, we need
to figure out how to put
DNR letter
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sent a letter to
the district Dec. 10 about
water samples at River
Bluff Middle School.
According to that letter, DNR investigators
found when testing the
water coming into the
building, all but one of
the results exceeded the
lead action level of 15
parts per billion. Investigators also concluded
that some other mechanism is causing particulate lead to be released in
the system.
Stoughton is required
to evaluate their water
quality and make adjustments if results show that
lead is being dissolved
from components in the
distribution system, it
read.
According to the letter,
the DNR will work with
Stoughton Utilities on the
issue. In the meantime,
flushing the system
at drinking water locations may reduce lead to
acceptable levels, it
said.
Also, you may be able
to reduce particulate lead
within the school water
distribution system by
making some plumbing
changes, the letter stated.
We need to continue
to see where is the
source to see if we
can eliminate that.
Tim Onsanger
something in place. Ideally,
we could figure out what
the heck the problem is and
get rid of it.
School board president
Liz Menzer asked facilities committee members to
explore the subject more
in depth at their January
meeting and work with the
city. Onsager said the district will continue to work
with Stoughton Utilities on
the issue, and hes hopeful
a solution will be in place
by then.
We need to continue
to see where is the source
to see if we can eliminate
that, he said.
Board member Joe Freye
said its just a matter of
solving a disagreement.
Seems like theres gotta
be an easy way to test it
right before it comes in,
he said. So then its their
water.
Pickett said next steps
include looking at filter
systems.
Were testing some
filters, she said. Were
really going to work hard to
hopefully have something
in place with a goal to have
the water turned back on as
soon as practical once we
get to 2015.
I know its taken some
time, but we really wanted
to do our due diligence and
problem-solving and looking at all the information.

Although the district

recently got an email from
Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources (DNR)
water experts saying the
lead is likely coming from
outside the building, Pickett said Stoughton Utilities
officials disagreed with that
assessment during a meeting last week.
They believe the lead
is somehow coming from
within the building, and
they feel its an internal
issue we need to work to
solve, she said.
Pickett said after six
rounds of tests, district officials brought the data to the
DNR to resolve the concern, and they suggested a
new test to see what kind of
lead was in the water.
The DNR indicated that
dissolved lead cannot be filtered and was symptomatic
of an internal problem, she
said. Particulate lead
typically indicates an issue
with water coming into the
facility.
Pickett said after flushing
the schools water system,
all tests within the building decreased to acceptable
lead amounts, except the
entry point, which leads
district officials to believe
the lead is coming from
outside the building.
The way our pipes work,
once the water comes into
the building, it goes up
and over, she said. Lead
is heavier than water, so
particulate lead can settle,
and we believe its settling down at the bottom of
that pipe, and therefore the
lead isnt actually getting
up and over into the building, which is why the tests
in the building have been
below the action level.
She said DNR agreed
with that assessment, that
the facility is not the source
and that its coming from
the system.
Thats their role, they
work with water, she said.

Cameras: No pushback on body cameras in Stoughton
Police rarely tap

military gear program

administrators have access
to the footage.
The cameras have been
used to record interviews,
as training tools and in a
couple tactical situations,
when officers faced the
threat of a weapon, Leck
said. An officer assigned to
Stoughton schools has used
cameras to record interviews, too.
The first six cameras cost
around $700 each and
were paid for by federal
forfeiture funds Stoughton
was entitled to after officers
seized cash during a bust,
Leck said. He declined to
provide details of that incident.
Veronas police chief,
Bernie Coughlin, said hes
hesitant to buy cameras
because of potential costs to
maintain and replace them
and the servers needed to
store the videos.
But Leck said the departments servers were
upgraded last year and can
handle more videos. Maintenance costs are built into
the departments annual
budget, too.
Privacy concerns
The American Civil Liberties Union has supported
police use of body cameras
but raised privacy concerns.
The group suggested in a
October 2013 report that
police should notify citizens they are being filmed
and prescribe some limits on public release of the
footage.
Photo by Jeremy Jones
Officers can pull video from their body cameras by plugging in a USB cord and downloading the footage to the Stoughton Police Departments server. The video can then be named, given a case number
and given to the district attorney, if needed.
We dont want crime

victims to be afraid to call
for help because of fears
that video of their officer
interactions will become
public or reach the wrong
party, the report said.
Camera footage will be
treated like other reports,
which are purged after
120 days unless they are
tagged as evidence for an
ongoing case, Leck said.
When releasing records
to the public, Leck said its

his job to decide whether
the benefit to the public outweighs the potential harm
to individuals involved.
It doesnt matter if its
video or paper, we handle
all those records exactly the
same, he said.
Dist. 4 alderman Patrick
OConnor, who was Stoughtons police chief from
1993-2010, likes cameras
potential to record incidents
and train officers.

I think its a no-brainer
to use them, he said.
Attempts to reach Mayor
Donna Olson by phone and
email were unsuccessful.
Leck said the cameras
are just one more tool for
officers. They cant replace
good recruitment, training
and evaluation processes.
We always strive to hire
good people first and make
them good police officers,
he said.
Recent protests in Ferguson, Mo. and New

York City cast a spotlight
on another facet of law
enforcement: the use of
military-grade gear and
weapons.
In Stoughton, police
have rarely utilized a
program to obtain surplus military gear free of
charge from the Department of Defense, said
chief Greg Leck.
In the past decade, Wisconsin law enforcement
agencies obtained more
than $28 million of military gear through a federal program known as
1033. More than 67,000
military-grade items were
given to 219 agencies
since 2004, according to a
report in August by Gannett Media Wisconsin.
But Stoughton police
have only obtained $7,100
worth of 1033 gear.
Items include 20
ground troop helmets
worth just over $3,000,
20 backpacks ($1,787),
16 ground lights ($1,794)
and five sandbags ($208),
according to a Gannett
database of 1033 acquisitions in Wisconsin since
2004. Stoughtons items
were obtained before Leck
became chief in 2010.
In Dane County, cities like Verona and Sun
Prairie havent used the
program, while Oregon
has obtained more than
$55,000 in gear and
McFarland more than
$48,000.
Leck said local police
use the helmets and backpacks in training drills but
havent deployed them for
actual emergencies.
Criticism that police are
too militarized heated up
in August after authorities
in Ferguson used militarystyle tactics to quell protests over the fatal shooting by a police officer
of 18-year-old Michael
Brown.
Twenty-four agencies
including Madison police
obtained mine-resistant
armored trucks in the past
year through the program,
according to the Wisconsin State Journal. That
raised eyebrows in small
cities like Neenah, whose
armored vehicle was highlighted in a New York
Times article in June.
But much of the gear,
which would otherwise
be disposed of, is more
mundane. Gloves, trousers, cabinets, rope and
sandbags are common
examples, though some
departments have obtained
assault rifles, grenade
launchers or even, as in
Kenosha County, a helicopter valued at $916,000.
Leck doesnt expect
Stoughton to go after large
items like those.
"I have no desire to have
a Humvee running around
here or anything like that,
he said.

Letter of Intent
Vikes edge
Monroe, stay
undefeated
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Stoughton senior Nikki Staffen, flanked by parents Delanie and Ted, signed her National Letter of Intent on Monday to run cross country and track and Winona State.
Staffen joins Kiah Ehrke (UW-Madison) as the only Viking scholarship athletes in cross country.
Racing to a dream
Staffen joins her idol as

second SHS cross country

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
swayed by Winona State coach Brett

Ayers, who even impressed Stoughton head coach Susan Zaemisch during the recruitment process.
He was a coach that really wanted
Nikki for his program, Zaemisch
said. The things he did to convince
her to come to his program were
above and beyond.
Ayers made the trek down the
Verona Invitational early in the season to watch and talk to Staffen. At
the end of the season, he brought a
couple of Winona State cross country runners from Wisconsin to watch
Staffen at the state meet.
Staffen had an overnight visit at
Winona where she stayed in the dorm
room of two freshmen on the Warriors cross country team.
It was really cool to get a feel for
the campus and it showed me what
I really want when I go their next
year, Staffen said. I really want to
room with another runner because
it just seemed like they had a closer
bond and similar schedules.
Senior Nikki Staffen became the

second Stoughton High School cross
country scholarship athlete on Monday when she signed her National
Letter of Intent to run at Winona
State.
She joined her SHS idol and former
UW-Madison runner Kiah Ehrke.
Staffen, who will also be running
distance on the Warriors track and
field team, chose Winona State over
UW-La Crosse and UW-Parkside.
It was a really hard decision for
me, choosing between La Crosse and
Winona, she said.
Just under a three hour drive from
home, Staffen said Winona State was
far enough from home, but still close
enough to come home once in awhile.
I dont think Id be able to handle Live and breathe
being five or six hours away, she
While both of Staffens older sissaid.
ters ran track, her love of running
Ultimately though, Staffen was
started with her sister Amanda running cross country.

I saw here doing it. I loved watching the meets, she said. When I saw
Kiah running and winning every race,
I wanted to do the same thing. I wanted to be just like her. She was my idol
for the longest time and really made
me love running.
By her freshman year she already
knew she wanted to run in college.
I wanted to run for the Badgers
really bad like Kiah, but then I began
to realize that Division II wasnt as
much pressure, she said. Im running because I want to. Im doing this
because I truly love the sport and I
dont know what I would do without
it.
Even as a high school student,
Staffen is an educated runner as
youre likely to find, reading Running
Times and Running World magazines.
I think she was nervous that she

wasnt prepared for the 5k, Zaemisch said. Training all summer and
putting in those 12- or 13-mile runs
gave her a lot of confidence.
For Staffens part, she said it was
a really fun experience and made her
think about running in a totally different way.
I used to hate running long runs,
but running with Zaemisch over the
summer, she taught me how to pace
myself and how to really enjoy it.
Without her I wouldnt have had that
motivation she gave me when I was
running with her, she said. I think
thats definitely a factor that contributed to me having a really good season.
Staffen improved 18 places from
her previous best finish at the 41st
annual WIAA Division 1 girls cross
country meet in Wisconsin Rapids.
Training
Zaemisch, who is also the Vikings

freshman girls basketball coach, said,
We have a philosophy that we is
greater than me. That is Nikki. Its
all about the team for her.
With girls around the state moving up to a 5K from a 4K this year,

Staffen trained with head coach Susan
Zaemisch for the Madison Mini-Marathon over the offseason.

start Saturday to edge Badger
South Conference rival Monroe 62-60.
The Vikings (5-0 overall,
2-0 Badger South) scored 41
in the second half, including
a 20-11 advantage in the third
quarter, to edge Monroe.
We didnt play our best
basketball, but regardless, the
boys were resilient and were
able to get the job done, head
coach Matt Hockett said.
Senior Bradley Graffin led
Stoughton with 20 points and
nine rebounds, while junior
Tommy McGlynn added 13.
Junior Adam Krumholz

The Vikings traveled to

on Tuesday and handed the
Spartans their first loss 69-45.
Senior Nick McGlynn finished with 16 points and 20

the win. McFarland only had
22 rebounds as a team.
There is a lot of talent on
the McFarland roster, and we
were able to neutralize it,
Hockett said.
McGlynn is having a little
more success this season
than last. Hockett said that is
because of a better supporting
cast of scorers and because
McGlynn is playing better
defense.
Graffin added 19 points,
while Slaby scored 11.

helped the Vikings finish first and
improve to 11-0 on the season in
dual matches.
I think the greatest part about
this team right now is that they
are wrestling for each other, cohead coach Dan Spilde said. They
believe that this is a team that can

go places. Each person is going out
there and doing their job, and that
is leading to great things. We have
a long way to go, but this is a good
start.

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
The Stoughton High School boys swimming team placed at least one in the top four
of all 11 events Saturday at the Milton Invitational to finish second.
Sam Hynek won the Vikings only event,
taking the 50-yard freestyle in 23.64. Gabe

Tristin Heisig took third in the 100 free
(55.06), as did Ben Schleppenbach in the 100
backstroke (1:00.15). Heisig and Bormett finished eighth and ninth overall.

finish.
Schleppenbach added a fourth-place finish
in the 200 IM (2:19.57 200 IM). Levi Robbins was 10th. Ian Trautman turned in another fourth-place finish in the 100 butterfly,

Icebergs carry offensive struggles into tourney

Jeremy Jones
Sports Editor
Despite a blowout win in the first round of

the University School of Milwaukee Hockey
Classic Tournament on Friday, the Icebergs
suffered through a pair of tough losses on
Saturday.
The Icebergs opened the tournament blowing out Brookfield 7-0 thanks to Stoughtons
Casey Marsh, who jump started a four-goal
first period with two goals. Teagan Rupiper
and Sammy Eyers also added first-period
goals. Kit Olson, Sam Kinsler and Tasha
Martin scored in the second period to cap the
win.
Tons of credit to the Brookfield club,
Jochmann said. Even down by seven goals
to start the third period, they never gave up
and continued to press our players for opportunities. They really played hard despite
being way behind after two periods.

Kenzie Torpy finished with 12 saves,
while Lauren Ragon had 12 for Brookfield.
Stoughton Junior Savannah Kopf suffered
a concussion in the third period of this game,
and was unable to play in the two games on
Saturday.
Markie Ash and Mandy Tomlinson had a
goal and an assist Saturday to hand the Icebergs a 3-1 loss in Milwaukee.
Tomlinson and Ash are the stars for this
Waupaca (9-1-0) team. Prior to this game
they were both in the top two in the state
in assists and goals, Jochmann said. We
managed to match up well against them,
but couldnt completely keep them off the
scoresheet tonight.

Vikings hope to draw from loss

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
The hole in the walls around

the Mandt Community Arena
from slammed doors speaks
to the recent struggles of the
Stoughton boys hockey team.
None of that mattered early
last Saturday, however, as
junior varsity defenseman
Aaron Harring-Spoerl lay
motionless on the ice after
being checked from behind
with 50 seconds remaining
against Madison Edgewood.
The experience was nothing new for Harring-Spoerl,
who Vikings head coach Kris
Rosholt said suffered a similar
hit last season.
He was aware of the feeling of everything and said it
felt very similar to last year,
Rosholt said.
Harring-Spoerl, who
Rosholt said never lost consciousness, remained still as
a precaution until giving a
thumbs up as he was wheeled
off the ice on a stretcher.
The gesture drew a round
of applause from fans on both
sides of the bleachers and
from his varsity teammates
who watched in silence from
outside their locker room.
Emergency medical
responders were also kept
busy as a Stoughton student
passed out and needed further
assistance.
As a result, Rosholt asked
the officials for an extra five
minutes prior to the start of the
game to refocus his squad.
I wanted the guys to be
out here to support their teammate that was down, but then
we knew we had a game to
win, Rosholt said. We had
to focus on why we are here
and what we were supposed
to do.
Madison Edgewood 5,
Stoughton 2
Though Rosholt felt the
Vikings refocused and were
prepared to play, Stoughton
dropped its first Badger South
Conference game of the year
5-2.
We got a couple of bad
calls by the officials, the first
goal was kicked in and they
didnt see it. Things like that
always hurt, but good teams
find a way to overcome that
and fight through it, Rosholt
said.
This team is fully capable
of doing that, they just have
to believe in themselves and
cross that hurdle and fight
through adversity.
Bad bounces and missed
calls aside, the decisive goal
came 10 minutes into the
third period following a slashing penalty to Nathan Varese
finished off his hat trick with

a 5-on-3 power-play goal 10
minutes into the third period.
I believed that this team
could beat Edgewood, but it
comes down to the guys in
our locker room believing that
they can do it, Rosholt said.
We were beating one of the
best teams in the state in the
second period For them
to acknowledge that they see
their potential now, I think its
huge for them to build confidence.
The Vikings travel to Madisons LaBahn Arena at 7 p.m.
Friday to face the Crusaders for the second time in six
days.
Stoughton 7, Milton 0
The Vikings, who are sharing the Mandt Center with
the first-year Milton hockey
team this season, faced the
Red Hawks for the first time
Tuesday.
Zeichert scored a pair of
first period goals and finished
off Stoughtons first hat trick
of the season in the third period. Browning added a score in
both the first and third period
en route to the 7-0 victory.
Stoughton (3-3-1 overall,
1-1-0 conference) didnt find
the back of the net again until
24 seconds into the third period on BonDuarants powerplay goal.
Ben Amera faced 13 shots
to earn his first win of the season, while Milton netminder

Vikings crush non-conference Mount Horeb

Anthony Iozzo
Three players scored in double digits and another nearly had a doubledouble for the Stoughton High School
girls basketball team Friday in a 62-37
win at Mount Horeb.
Sophomore Payton Kahl (17
points), Kendra Halverson (16) and
Jenna Gardner (10) all had big games,
while junior Hannah Hobson followed
with eight points and 14 rebounds.
A lot of the success also came at the
free-throw line as the offensive attack
remained aggressive following the
win over Oregon on Dec. 9. Stoughton was 20-for-29.
The Vikings jumped out to a 20-8
lead after the first quarter and only
allowed more than 10 points one
quarter, the second. Stoughton outscored Mount Horeb 32-17 in the second half.

He also knocked off Austin Wolfe (Boyceville) ranked No. 2 at 113 in D3 7-1 and
defeated Andrew Webb (Spring Valley/Elmwood) in an 8-0 major decision. Kleins loss
was a 7-1 decision to Nathan Hensley (Whitnall).
Hasselberger ranked No. 2 at 132 pounds
won by a 20-4 technical fall over Ryan
Waldron (Wausau West) and added pins over
Nick Scarcello (Whitnall) in 2:50, Cooper
Stevens (Spring Valley/Elmwood) in 2:35
and Tyler Stroo (Boyceville) in 3:19. His
only loss was a 9-6 decision to Jaden Winchel
(Sparta) ranked No. 3 at 132 pounds in D2.
Dow ranked as an honorable mention at
152 pounds won by a 19-3 technical fall
over Calen Henkens (Wausau West), a 14-5
major decision over Dylan Kellner (Whitnall), a 14-3 major decision over Ryan Berg
(Spring Valley/Elmwood) and a 19-2 technical fall over Justin Malean (Boyceville).
Dows only loss came to Hayden Krein
(Sparta) in a 9-7 sudden victory in overtime.
Other ranked members of the Vikings are
sophomores Tristan Jenny (120) and Garrett Model (126), both honorable mentions.
Despite the high recognition early this season, Spilde said the only results that matter
are the ones during competition.

MSO: Icebergs are 2-3-1

Icebergs couldnt find the
strength to clear the defensive
zone for much of the game in
the face of a relentless forecheck.
Torpy kept the Icebergs
in the game with more stellar play in goal, turning away
30 shots. Cassie Rasmussen
faced just 10 shots from the
Icebergs.
Stoughton dropped to 2-3-1
on the season later Saturday
with an 8-0 loss against the
host USM Wildcats.
From what he saw, Jochmann said he expects the second-ranked Wildcats (5-1-0)
to compete for a state title this
season.
USM is the real deal this
season. They are fast, strong,
smart, talented, relentless,
and have a very deep roster,
Jochmann said. They have
three solid combinations of
forwards and at least two sets
of solid defenders.

decided on the mat, Spilde said. We are
excited that we are wrestling well and are
excited that the coaches and wrestling community thinks of us as a top 5 team.
And the competition doesnt get any easier
with the Badger State Invitational at 10 a.m.
Saturday at the Alliant Energy Center in
Madison.
There will be 23 teams with an average of
five to six ranked wrestlers in every weight
class. Stoughton hosts the tournament.
It is going to be a phenomenal tournament, and hopefully we can get a good turnout there as far as having some of our fans
from Stoughton come up to the Alliant Energy Center and support us, Spilde said.
After four events in an eight-day stretch,
the Vikings also get a little breather before
competition Saturday, which Spilde said is an
advantage.
Hopefully, if the guys keep working at the
pace they are working, we should continue to
improve, he said.

Stop Corporate Welfare in Stoughton!
Sign The Petitions to Place 3 Referenda Questions on the April Ballot!
We, the undersigned, believe citizens of Stoughton should be able to have a say at the ballot box
about our city giving $5.1 million in corporate welfare to a wealthy developer. At a recent council
meeting the 6 pro-Kettle Park West alders refused to put a referendum question on the ballot.
Stoughton Forward is leading the citizen effort to collect the 866 valid signatures of city residents
that are required to place three yes or no referenda questions on the ballot. These are:
1. Do you agree with the City of Stoughtons decision to borrow an approximate amount of $5.1
million in Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) funding to be used to subsidize the developer of the
Kettle Park West development?
2. Should the City of Stoughton focus on re-developing the Downtown area to create new retail
stores, office buildings and housing to revitalize the Downtown and Yahara Riverfront area?
3. Should the City of Stoughton adopt the proposed ordinance requiring the City to conduct a
referendum when the City proposes borrowing more than $1 million for a proposed or approved
Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) district?
Stop in at the Stoughton Forward Petition Drive HQ, 343 E. Main to sign the petitions and pick up a
petition to collect your friends signatures. Hours will be 6-8PM during the week and 10-2 on weekends.
Just how much money is it again? The city plans to borrow $5.1 million by issuing municipal bonds
to be paid back over 20 years. The total in principal and interest will be $7.4 million! We should
NOT be wasting taxpayers money providing corporate subsidies to a developer and WalMart!

known for their hospitality

and loving home. In their
later years they played cards
every night or sat discussing our future.
Pete loved and enjoyed
his children and equally so
his grandchildren. He was
tremendously proud of their
accomplishments large or
small. Pete was a man of
profound faith and trust in
God. He knelt down with his
kids each night while they
were little and taught them
to pray.
In Park Falls, Pete was
a faithful parishioner at St.
Anthony of Padua Catholic
Church, and he enrolled all
the kids at St. Anthonys
Catholic school. Pete was a
letter writer while his kids
were at college, and would
send an Abe Lincoln
occasionally, apologizing
that it was not Ben Franklin. He always had a joke,
song lyric or quip to lighten
the mood and put people at
ease.Thanks, Pete. Youre
Velcome!
Pete held many jobs, often
two at a time to make ends
meet. He built the familys
first house in Palatine, Ill.
Pete was the neighborhood
fix-it guy and medic for
emergencies. He could rig
up just about any repair with
Romex wire, Duct Tape and
shoe strings, or whatever
else he saved for just in
case.
Pete moved his family to
Park Falls in 1972, where
he realized his dream to
be his own boss. He operated a motel for many years
before retiring to Butternut,
on what came to affectionately be known as No Fish
Lake.
Pete loved to be on the
water, either to fish, or
just sit and hope somebody would catch that huge
musky under his dock.
There were countless good
times at the lake swimming,
fishing, making bonfires,
and storytelling. The Pawlowski nephews usually had
a stop-over at the lake for
a visit en route to or from
Canadian fishing trips.
Pete, KD9YS, kept up
his radio training from the
Navy, becoming a Ham
radio operator and inspiring
most of his family members
to do the same. Scheduled
shortwave contacts skeds
between Pete and his sons
created a unique bond and
workshop of communication
skills among the family.
He helped to organize the
Associated Flyers club in
Park Falls, in part because of
his sons love of flying. Pete
advocated strongly for the
upkeep and improvement
of the local airport. Both

Pete was also a lifetime
member of the Moose lodge
both in Illinois and Wisconsin. In December 1994, he
wrote a letter to his family,
with just in case written
on the envelope. Besides
details to get his affairs in
order, Pete said: love your
husbands and wives, raise
those beautiful grandchildren as best as you can, keep
believing in God, Ill be

four sisters, Sophie, Wanda,

many beloved nieces and
nephews.
He was preceded in death
by his infant son, Peter Kanikula; his parents, Peter and
Josephine Kanikula; and all
his brothers, Albert, Ted,

Peter J. Pete Kanikula,

KD9YS, age 90, of Butternut, died on
Friday, Dec.
5, 2014, surrounded by
family and his loving wife,
Violet.He was born Nov. 1,
1924, in the house his father
built by hand.
His parents were Peter and
Josephine (Adamczyk) Kanikula. His father and uncle
immigrated from Poland in
1911. Then Josephine and
her sister arrived in 1914
and married the brothers.
Josephine and Peter raised
Pete and his eight siblings in
Cicero, a Chicago neighborhood where Al Capone was
known to frequent.
Pete graduated from Morton High School and went
directly to join the U.S.
Navy, barely making the
minimum weight and age
requirements. He served in
World War II in the South
Pacific, doing ship communications and navigation as
Quartermaster on the USS
Hammondsport. He was later assigned sea rescue work
as captain of his own vessel.After the war, he served
on the Great Lakes with the
Merchant Marine and was
finally called up again for
the Korean War as captain
of a landing craft.
His service in the Navy
proved to be the most formative years of his life. He
embraced the discipline and
integrity of a serviceman
until the end of his days.
After the war, Pete
enrolled at Loyola University
for two years on the GI Bill.
He told many stories of those
single years when he enjoyed
time with neighborhood buddies, being involved with his
local church parish and ballroom dancing.
Pete met the love of his
life, Violet Germanos, at
a 1956 Christmas ball in
downtown Chicago. Pete
was united in marriage to
Violet on May 18, 1957.
Their first son died in childbirth. They went on to raise
four children.

She made them believe
and they did achieve. She
was recognized by all
who knew her as a master
teacher.
In 2012, she retired from
her teaching position in
Warrenm Mich., and with
her husband, Mark, moved
to Madison, Ala. where
her daughter Sonja BensonEamesand her son-inlaw B. SeanEamesresided
with her four grandchildren; Jason, 14; Jackson,
11, Tyler, 9 and Katie,
4. They were the joy and
pride of her life. She could
not have been more proud
of them, stating on more
than one occasion, and
in quite an overt fashion,
that it was her intention
to spoil them rotten if
she could get her beloved
daughter and son-in-law to
allow her that joy.
Prior to retirement, she
enjoyed travel, navajo rug
weaving, basket weaving,
movies, and books. Upon
retirement, her youngest
grandson was diagnosed
with a learning disability.Patti was able to tutor
him almost daily after
school for the past two and
a half years. He was able
to benefit from her years
of expertise in the field and
because of her love and
instruction, made enormous progress in reading
and writing.
After her retirement,
family time, including

Sunday dinners with her
grandkids became the
highlight of her week. She
also began quilting and
became very active in the

the NCGH Board and produced the NCGH monthly newsletter. She very
much enjoyed her monthly

RESOLUTION R-70a-2014
STOUGHTON CITY COUNCIL
Whereas: Government of, by, and

for the people has long been a cherished
American value, and We the Peoples
fundamental and inalienable right to
self-govern, and thereby secure rights
of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit
of happiness is guaranteed in the U.S.
Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and;
Whereas: Free and fair elections
are essential to democracy and effective
self-governance, and;
Whereas: The 2010 Citizens United
v. the Federal Election Commission
case, which was decided by a split (5
to 4) decision, removed the legal limits
on contributions and expenditures in
elections: (1) creates an unequal playing field and allows unlimited spending
by individual persons, corporations,
unions, and other entities to influence
elections, candidate selection, and
policy decisions, and (2) forces elected
officials to divert their attention from
the concerns of We the People, or even
vote against the interest of their human
constituents, in order to raise campaign
funds for their own re-election, and;
Whereas: Corporations and unions
are legal entities chartered by the government, which, while they may be useful to the functioning of our economic
system, are not human beings and thus
do should not have the same Constitutional rights as American citizens, and;
Whereas: Allowing for the unlimited contributions and spending money
on elections is contrary to the democratic principle of one person, one vote.
It allows those with the most money to
have an unfair advantage and undue
influence in a political system that was
intended to ensure that all citizens have
equal access to and influence in the
political process. The great wealth of
big unions and multinational or large
corporations allows them to wield undue influence on this national electoral
process, and;
Whereas: Millions of people, and
Local, County, and State governments
across the nation are joining with the
Move to Amend Campaign and passing
resolutions demanding an Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution to: (1) eliminate
the extension of Constitutional rights
originally reserved for human beings
to corporate entities, and (2) abolish
the doctrine that political contributions
and expenditures are equivalent to free
speech rights.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,
that the Common Council of the City of
Stoughton, Wisconsin, seek to reclaim
democracy from the expansion of corporate Constitutional rights (e.g., corporate personhood) and the corrupting
influence of unregulated political contributions and spending. We stand with
the Move to Amend campaign and communities across the country to support
passage of an amendment to the United
States Constitution stating:
1. Only human beings - not corporations, limited liability companies, labor unions, non-profit organizations, or
similar associations and corporate entities - are endowed with Constitutional
rights, and
2. Money is not speech, and therefore regulating political contributions
and spending is not equivalent to limiting political speech.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that
we hereby instruct out state and federal
representatives to enact resolutions and
legislation to advance this effort.

Habitat for Humanity blesses home in Stoughton

Janisch family moves
out of moms basement
into rehabbed home
Photo submitted
The Janisch family stands in front of their Habitat for Humanity home, located on Gjertson
Street, during the house blessing Dec. 6. Cherreka, back center, and Andrew, back right, are
shown with their three children who are in high school and elementary school.
Times were tough. Even

though both Andrew and
Cherreka Janisch were working, their rent was going up,
up and up. To afford a place
to live, the family decided
they needed to move into their
moms basement.
Before we moved into
my moms home, we had to
downsize and put our stuff in
storage. This was very difficult, Andrew said Here we
are a family of five living in a
basement that was cold.
Hoping to find a better

place for their three children
to grow up, the couple decided to apply for a Habitat for
Humanity of Dane County
home. A few weeks later, they
were accepted.
After we found out we
were approved for Habitat,
we told my mom we would
be moving out soon. She was
so excited for us, Andrew
said. The whole family was
thrilled.
The Janisch family has
been spending nearly a year
rehabbing their future home
in Stoughton and preparing
themselves for homeownership. Now that the home is
nearly complete, they blessed
the home Saturday, Dec. 6.

The home, which had been
in foreclosure, was donated to
Habitat for Humanity of Dane
County by Bank of America.
The property on Gjertson
Street in Stoughton is the second of two property donations
by Bank of America to Habitat
for Humanity of Dane County. The donations are part of
a national partnership with
Habitat for Humanity International through which the bank
will donate up to 2,000 vacant
properties for renovation or
reconstruction over the next
three years.

Humanity of Dane County
