Workers are finishing construction of the Norwegian Heritage Center on the corner of Main and Page streets.

Building Community

Unified Newspaper Group

Construction has taken longer than

expected, but thats not a big concern
for the organizers of a Norwegian
Heritage Center being built downtown.
More important is that its built
right and includes all the necessary
components, said Jerry Gryttenholm,
a trustee with the Bryant Foundation.
The foundation is the sole owner and funder of the two-story,
15,000-square-foot building at the
corner of Main Street and Page
Street. The centers main floor will
be approximately 9,000 square feet.
Construction on the building began
in early December 2013, and Gryttenholm anticipates a soft opening

or two before the center opens permanently to the public.

I would say the big opening
would be late spring, he said.
Thats assuming that the contractors
and subcontractors are going to be
able to stay on schedule.

Construction progresses
The Bryant Foundation started
looking into building a Norwegian
Heritage Center four years ago with
the goal of telling the story of Norwegian immigration and heritage in
the United States.
Its building plans include a genealogy library, lounge, auditorium
and gallery spaces for both permanent and temporary exhibits. The
gabled red building will include a
small outdoor garden area to act as

Stoughton Chamber of
Commerce executive director Erica Dial will be leaving
her position
as her family plans to
move across
the country later this
year.
Dial told
c h a m b e r Dial
members in
an email that her husband,
Adam, took a job as an executive with Providence Health
and Services in Seattle,

Wash., starting Feb. 9.

Our family will be moving there to join him at the
end of the school year, Dial
wrote. This has been a very
emotional decision for me
and Adam. But ultimately, it
was an amazing opportunity
that we could not pass up.
This is the second time
in three years that Dial has
left a job at the chamber
while her family considered
relocating. Dial left her job
as visitor services director
in July 2012 because her
family planned to move to
Minnesota. That opportunity didnt pan out, and Dial
took over as chamber director in March 2013. Dial has
spent about six years with

a transitional gathering area between

the center and the adjacent Sons of
Norway Lodge.
Gryttenholm compared the construction to building a beehive. The
centers shell is nearly completed
and work on the interior is well
underway.
Well have some small things
to do in the spring outside, but now
were actively very busy working on
the inside, he said.
You get the walls up and then
start with the insulation and the drywall and the wood, and then you
start working on the floorboards and
tile and heating and all that kind of
stuff.

kids.
I know when I was
young, I got some help, and
that was really cool, he
said.
Halverson-Williams is
one of 20 SHS students in
the schools Lead for Life
program. In the semesterlong course, service learning experiences provide
students the opportunity to
learn about themselves, gain
leadership skills and demonstrate civic responsibility.
To put it another way: The
program helps create what
Todd Hipke calls a leadership pipeline.
Our intent is that they
will lead for the rest of their
life and get involved in their
communities, said Hipke,
who created and developed
the program and oversees
it with SHS educator Beth
Anderson.
Hipke said he taught a
similar class at Madison
East High School from 2003
until 2010. In Stoughton, the
course was piloted last year
with 12 students. This year,
it grew to 20.
The class, Your Life,
Your Community, Your
World, actually takes place
every day, with students in
the high school Monday
through Wednesday and in
Fox classrooms Thursdays
and Fridays.

Hipke said he had talked

with district officials about
starting the program before
it launched last school year.
Students must apply for
entrance into the program,
which is available under general electives. On Thursday
and Friday mornings, they
board a bus and head over
to Fox Prairie. They spend
about 40 minutes there in the
classrooms, moving among
the students and helping out
where needed.
I really enjoy it, said
SHS senior Ashley Olson,
who plans to do Lead for
Life again next semester.
SHS senior Josh Hole
joined Lead for Life because
he wanted to help young
kids and always wanted to
be a teacher.
The experience this
semester has just been a
blast, he said.
The hope is that the program can grow in the future,
perhaps to another Stoughton elementary school, and
perhaps one day include
opportunities like afterschool programs and sports
coaching.
Kids look up to teenagers
in the community, Hipke
said.
And the teenagers also
learn from the kids.
Halverson-Williams said
one of the lessons he has
learned from visiting the
classrooms is that everybody has a different story,
and everybody needs help
differently.

Stoughton Area School District

Eye on the Weather

District has protocols for closing, delaying school

Scott De Laruelle
Unified Newspaper Group

When you live in Wisconsin, its fair to expect

cold, snowy spells that can
make life difficult.
But when severe winter weather makes things
downright dangerous,
school districts tasked with
the care of hundreds of children have the responsibility
to keep them safe by making the right call on canceling or delaying schools.
In Stoughton, those decisions are made in the early
morning on the day school
is scheduled, after consulting both with local weather reports and other area
schools.
Last week, Stoughton
joined many other school
districts around the state in
closing its doors, but others in the area, including

Madison, did not.

Stoughton Area School
District spokesperson Derek Spellman said when
weather is forecasted to
possibly impact the safety of students arriving at
school, district officials
actively assess the situation by 4:45 a.m. to try to
make a decision before 6.
Once a decision is made
about a closure or delayed
start time, they notify parents and staff through the
Infinite Campus parental
contact system, the school
website and local media.
Typically, school districts
will have at least one snow
day a year when accumulation gets too much, but in
addition to last weeks closing because extreme cold
temperatures, there were
several days cancelled last
year.
Spellman said that during

snow events, the district

bus department has people
checking roads in different
parts of the area, as superintendent Tim Onsager
reviews predicted weather
patterns and amounts of
snow and ice through various weather websites and
news outlets. Onsager consults with the district director of transportation and
counterparts in neighboring
school districts to compare
reports to have as much
information as possible to
make a decision.
During cold weather
snaps, Spellman said district officials look primarily at the wind chill factor. If a wind chill warning
(minus-35 degrees sustained wind chill) is issued
by the National Weather
Service, schools will close
for the day. A delayed start
could be considered if the

warning will be lifted in

mid-morning. During a
wind chill advisory, schools
would remain open.
If parents have sincere
concern for the safety of
their children, Spellman
said, they can always keep
their child home or pick
them up early. The district
will excuse those absences,
though parents are asked
to communicate with the
school office if they decide
to keep children home.
The ability to safely
move our nearly 3,160 students to and from school
is the primary determinant
for closing, delaying, or
dismissing school early,
he said. That safety is
determined with input from
many professionals who are
committed to the safety of
children a responsibility
that is not taken lightly.

Letters to the editor

KPW is diversifying, not quitting

I am a life-long resident of
Stoughton and I have seen a lot of
changes in my life around Stoughton, some good and some bad.
This Kettle Park West thing
just wont stop. Do any of the
people who are against it remember downtown Stoughton over 30
years ago?
You could do all of your shopping downtown, from groceries,
name brand shoes, clothes, guns
and camping supplies. There were
two hardware stores that I can
remember, three pharmacies, four
new car and truck dealers, five
full-service gas stations, a bowling alley, two lumber yards and so
much more.
Now, there is all this talk that
downtown Stoughton will die if
KPW builds are you people blind?

Stoughton has been moving

west since the 1970s and downtown Stoughton has always been
there. That is called diversifying,
not quitting.
Downtown is not going to die
if we dont let it, not by telling
KPW that they cannot build. But
the most logical thing is, maybe
we all should promote downtown
more?
Lets face it downtown is full of
specialty stores. You are not going
to buy a brand new pair of Nikes
or Levis downtown, but go and
look, you will be surprised. So
lets stop beating a dead horse and
move on.

Corrections

My recommendation is to
reduce stress in advance by
planning ahead. Try not to do
everything and instead maximize
the time you have with immediate family and loved ones. And,
manage the people who stress
you out.
Perhaps most importantly, if
you regularly exercise now is not
the time to take a holiday from
that routine. Instead, you should
make exercise one of your top
priorities.
Poor food choices also run
rampant during the holiday season. While it may be tempting to
try every sweet in the office or
every dessert at Thanksgiving,
instead choose one or two that
will really satisfy you and then
watch your portion size.
While the holiday season
comes just once a year, its a lot
longer than you may think. Bad
choices now can have a lasting
effect.
It realistically starts around
Halloween with people bringing
in desserts and candy and it goes
through mid-January when all
the leftovers and junk are finally
out of the house. Thats nearly a
quarter of the year!
Another factor contributing to
the spike in heart attacks during
the winter is people ignore what
their bodies are telling them. If
you feel chest pressure, tightness
or shortness of breath, you need
to get to a hospital immediately.
If you seek help early, your
odds of surviving a heart attack
are near 100 percent thanks to
our current medical technologies.
But sometimes, people will wait
up to seven hours to seek medical
attention. With a heart attack, its
possible you will still survive,
but heart muscle will be lost and
its not coming back.
Keep in mind when it comes
to a heart attack, the signs and
symptoms arent always as
depicted on TV or in the movies.
In general, the classic signs
for a man are: chest discomfort,
tightness, and pain. These signs
also can be present in women,
but typically womens symptoms are different. Women tend
to simply not feel well like
theyre having the flu. There
might be a feeling like indigestion that doesnt go away, sudden

Chest discomfort, tightness
Shortness of breath
Sweating
Pain that travels to your arm
For women in particular watch
out for:
Shortness of breath
Weakness
Extreme sudden feeling of
fatigue like the flu

sweating, light headedness or

shortness of breath.
If your chest pain doesnt go
away, you have shortness of
breath, feel pain going down
your arm or are suddenly sweaty,
you need to call 9-1-1 and get
to the hospital right away! This
is not the time to visit an urgent
care; get to an emergency room!
Ninety minutes is really all the
time you have to get the artery
blockage removed without causing permanent damage to your
heart.
While a trip to the emergency
room isnt on anyones plan, its
better to be safe and have a false
alarm than be sorry.
Dont think this is something youll deal with at a more
convenient time. Your family
would much rather go through
an uneventful hospital visit than
not have you here with them next
year.
Dr. Matthew Wolff is chief of
Meriters Division of Cardiovascular Medicine.

Blood, by Laura McHugh.
Thursdays With Murder, the crime fiction
group, meets the second
Thursday of each month
(except for August and
December) at 6:30 p.m. The
group is in its fourth year
and focuses on learning
about mystery authors and
the crime fiction genre.
Unlike a traditional book
group, the members of

same title. Reading might
be by author, by theme, or
by location of the action.

The More You Give, the More You Have

Booker T. Washington remarked incisively in the book Up From Slavery that
Those who are happiest are those who
do the most for others. It is a wonderful
fact of life and of human nature that we are
designed to get pleasure from giving to others. The flip side of this is that we are usually at our lowest and most anxious when we
are focused only on our own selfish interests. There is no end to the ways that we
can give of ourselves. Kind words and good
deeds should always start at home and go
with us into our schools, workplaces and
of course into the marketplace. Good deeds
can be done domestically or abroad, and
we need not limit our good works to helping our fellow humans, but can also be kind
and giving to all of Gods creation. Pain and
suffering are not uniquely human capacities; our animal brethren share this capacity
too, and we might even think of the earth
as something that can suffer under the
weight of our burden. So we should give
of ourselves generously whenever we can.
We will reap great benefits in the form of a
much happier mind and spirit and we will
be storing up treasures in heaven.
Christopher Simon via Metro News
Service
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly
will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows
generously will also reap generously.

Chamber: Dial is leaving

Continued from page 1
the Stoughton chamber altogether.
Dial wont be leaving her
position until a successor is
found, she told the Hub.
The chambers executive
committee plans to review
the job description this week
and will start posting the listing next week. Interviews
could be conducted in early
February, Dial said, but she
told the committee shell stay
on as long as necessary to
ensure a smooth transition.
I am willing to take as
much time and be here as
long as it takes, she said. I
want it to be business as usual until they find someone.
Part of that business as
usual approach is continuing some of the business
development efforts that Dial
has helped foster during her
20 months as director.
Dial said she is proud of
the chambers work to promote economic development in the city, but she also
is happy to see some of the
low-key networking events
resurrected.
We brought back a lot of
these networking events that
had fallen by the wayside,
Dial said.
Events like Business After
Five and the chambers holiday party have drawn crowds
of 50 or more, she said. The
idea is to get chamber members talking and networking
in a relaxed environment.
Thats a testament that
people want to do these type
of things again, she said.

On a more serious note,

Dial said shes proud of the
chambers involvement in
bringing Kettle Park West
and other economic development projects to the city.
As a chamber thats our
goal make this community a better place to live and
work, she said.
Dial said she has no plans
to continue a career when her
family moves, but will likely
seek out local chambers
when she gets settled into
their new community.
I love chamber work,
Dial said, adding that she
might try to volunteer with
festivals in Washington.
This is the best job Ive ever
had.
With kids in fourth and
eighth grade, she wants to get
more involved with her kids
schools out there, too.
Dial said she wanted
people to know that shed
be leaving because her husband was starting his job next
month and her family has a
lot of things to tackle before
moving out west this summer. This includes selling
their home in Stoughton and
finding a place to live in the
Seattle area.
While Dial will be leaving
her Midwest roots, including
13 years living in Stoughton,
they are returning to where
Adam grew up, she said. His
parents and sister still live in
the Seattle area and will be
able to help the family get
settled, she said.
Its bittersweet, she said.
But its one of those things
you cant pass up.

Often when you think of a personal trainer, atleast two

thoughts come to mind, Who has the money and who
has the time? Of course, then other thoughts follow;

No. 3-ranked Milton
continues at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday at Milton High
School.
Both programs have
thrived in not just the
conference but also at

state.
Since 2000, Stoughton and Milton have met
eight times at team sectionals, with the Vikings
winning five. But the
conference duals have
had a different result.
Since Milton joined
the Badger South in
2008, the Vikings are
0-6 against the Red
Hawks in regular season duals. Stoughton did
finish first in the conference tournament in
2008, 2009 and 2012 but
are 1-8 against Milton in
duals since 2008.
This matchup might be
another preview of the
team sectional like last
season, when Stoughton fell to Milton in the

Late turnovers waste defensive effort

Senior Jordyn Weum guards Madison Edgewood senior Emma Meriggioli in the
fourth quarter Thursday in a Badger South Conference matchup at Stoughton
High School. Weum helped hold Meriggioli to six points in a 40-38 loss.

It looked like the Stoughton

High School girls basketball team
was on its way to win Thursday
against Madison Edgewood, holding a seven-point lead with five
minutes to play.
But late turnovers and some
missed baskets allowed Edgewood a chance to win with 10 seconds left.
The Crusaders came out of the
timeout and found sophomore
Kendall Tribus at the top. Tribus
drained the 3-pointer, and the
Vikings (6-5 overall, 2-2 Badger
South) fell 40-38.
We didnt execute very well

down the stretch, but we talked

about coming out and competing and fighting. I thought we
did a pretty good job with that,
Stoughton head coach Brad Pickett said. You have to give (Tribus) credit. Not taking anything
away from her, but she was probably the one that we wanted to take
it at that point.
We have to clean some things
up offensively, but defensively,
you hold a team to 40 points you
should give yourself a realistic
chance to win.
Emma, a senior, and Katie,
a sophomore, Meriggioli and
sophomore Estella Moschkau
lead Edgewood (5-4, 3-1) with
311 points combined this season.

Stoughtons defense held Moschkau to 11, Kate Meriggioli to seven and Emma Meriggioli to six.
We are lucky to come out
with a win here, Edgewood head
coach Lora Staveness said. We
didnt play even close to our best,
but you have to give Stoughton
credit for that also. We were out
of sync offensively quite a bit.
But it was Tribus, who finished
with 11, who made the shot at the
end. Tribus is currently fourth on
the team with 67 total points.
There were lots of options on
the play, and they found Kendall
on the top. She finally hit a shot,
Staveness said. We hadnt been

Girls hockey

Rupiper leads Icebergs to victory

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

The Stoughton girls hockey co-op

defeated Marshfield on the road Saturday for the Icebergs first win of
2015.
Two goals by Evansvilles freshman Teagan Rupiper and one from
Stoughton junior Savannah Kopf
sealed the deal at 3-0 for Stougthon.
Teagan came through twice for us
by being a force in front of the offensive net today, Icebergs head coach
Mike Jochmann said. It was nice to
see Teagan bury a couple as shes
been working so hard in practices to
improve.
A team that has struggled to generate many chances for the majority
of the season, Jochmann said some
new line combinations sparked some
needed space on the ice, and a slightly

re-vamped defensive zone scheme

helped keep scoring chances to a minimum for Marshfield.
Though the Icebergs led 2-0
through two periods thanks to Kopfs
short-handed goal early in the second
period, Jochmann said, It seemed
as though the officials were trying to
let Marshfield back into the midway
through the third period with some of
their calls, but we stayed strong in our
own zone.
A solid performance over all three
periods for the Icebergs, including
killing off an almost two minute 5-on3 penalty, surrounded by two other
5-on-4 situations, allowed Stoughton
to hold on to take the game.
Three blocked shots by Sam Kinsler, two interceptions by Casey
Marsh, and a slew of backcheck wins
helped Kenzie Torpy, who made 18
saves, keep the Tigers off the board.

Stoughton welcomes Viroqua

three events to go.
Anchoring a relay, there is a lot of
pressure, but it is probably one of the
best feelings because you can either win
or lose a race, Heisig said. Winning a
relay is probably the best feeling in the
world because that one win can take you
a long way.
It sure did Tuesday.
Neck-and-neck throughout the first
three legs by Ian Trautman, Isaac Eugster and Ross, Heisig clocked a lifetimebest anchor split of 23.76 to help the
Vikings touch out Oregon by nearly a
second in 1:37.50.
Prior to Tuesdays dual, Stoughton

head coach Karissa Kruszewski tried to

plot out the meet, knowing Oregon had
five or six solid swimmers.
I knew they could sweep all the
events, including the relays, a soaked
Kruszewski said after jumping into the
pool following the win. We just need
that one sweep or relay to get first to
swing the meet in our favor. Our 200
free relay stepped up and thats what
they did.
That was a crucial eight points for
us.
Stoughtons B relay scored another
two points by finishing third, effectively
turning a two-point deficit into a fourpoint lead.
That swing in momentum helped carry

everyone after that Kruszewski said.

Stoughton finished out the meet
strong, outscoring the Panthers 18-12
in the 100 back and 100 breast by taking second through fourth place in both
events.
Having beaten Fort Atkinson and
Madison Edgewood to finish fourth at
the Badger South Conference Relay
meet, the Vikings have already raised
the standard this year.
Now were looking for our second
conference win, but its going to be a
battle just like today, Kruszewski said.

made a basket to make it 36-29, but Moschkau knocked down a few free throws and
Tribus made a basket to make it 36-33.
Halverson put the Vikings back up
by five with a couple of free throws, but
three turnovers and a couple of missed free
throws on the front end of 1-and-1 opportunities allowed Edgewood to finish the
game on an 11-2 run.
Both Staveness and Pickett said the Crusaders full-court pressure in the second
half was one of the differences at the end.
We have been working hard on defense,
and that spurred our offense enough to
give us a chance to win, Staveness said.
In a gym like Stoughton, that is huge. We
will take it. The kids know they could have
done a lot better. I think both teams will
feel like they could have done a lot better.
It was one of those grind-it-out battles that,
unfortunately, someone had to lose.
Sophomore Payton Kahl and Halverson each scored 10 points for the Vikings.
Junior Hannah Hobson added seven.
Despite the tough loss, Pickett said
the defensive effort is a positive step for
Stoughton, but the Vikings need to have a
short memory if it intends to bounce back.
If you can play defense, you give yourself a chance to win every game. Tonight,
we gave ourselves a chance. We just didnt
make enough plays offensively, and it is
a tough one, Pickett said. If you leave
everything out on the floor and you still get
beat, that is a tough one to swallow.
Stoughton hosts Fort Atkinson at 7:30
p.m. Friday and non-conference Sun Prairie at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20.

Stoughton 59, Dubuque Wahlert 47

The Vikings traveled to Dubuque (Iowa)
Wahlert Saturday and bounced back with a
59-47 win.
Stoughton jumped out to an 11-point
lead at halftime and never trailed in the
second half.
Halverson finished with 13 points, while
sophomore Jenna Gardner picked up 12.

re-election in Dist. 3 and so
he decided to enter the race.
Suess replaced Scovotti in
April 2012 after he decided
not to seek a third term.
It just seemed to me
that the timing was right
for someone with my background and knowledge and
skills and capability to work
together with people regardless of their ideology, he
told the Courier Hub Monday.
I think the most important
thing is Ive always worked
together with everyone.
Back in the day, I worked
with conservatives and with
people who are from the liberal side of the aisle. I dont
much care if the solution for
a problem comes from one
camp versus another camp or
somewhere in between.
Hirsch runs her own business as an environmental
consultant and also works
full-time for her fathers
company.
We research and develop

new fuelefficient
engines,
she said.
She told
the Hub
shes seeking the seat Hirsch
because
people had
approached
her and
encouraged
her to run.
Im running because
its an honor
to serve and
s o m e b o d y Scovotti
asked me
to, she said. I have a policy
background, and I thought
it would be a good thing to
serve the city and represent
the people of my district.
She said as a council
member, I dont think its
my job to put forth my interests or agenda. I have my
views, but they might not be
what my constituents think.
The two will square off in
the April 7 general election.

budget adjustments totaling $3,575,00;
and, the Educator Effectiveness grant in
the amount of $21,280.00 for the 2014-15
school year.
COMMITTEE REPORTS: None.
DISCUSSION:
Insurance Committee Update - Plan
Committee work. The committee was
comprised of 14 committee members
representing all employee groups. They
met 3 times to determine short and
long term goals (5 year perspective),
developed a vision statement, wellness
initiatives, and discussed potential plan
design changes for July 2015 (wellness
participation, health assessments with

incentive, clinic model). The Insurance

Review Committee will reconvene to begin looking at changes for the next plan
year. The health assessment would be a
composite score of many health indicators (blood work, height, weight, blood
pressure, etc.). Members asked questions about the health assessments, onsite clinic for employees and students/
employee/community access to district
pool/weight room/track etc.
2015 - 16 School Calendar - Becky
Fjelstad presented the proposed 201516 calendar. This item will be placed on
the January 5 agenda for approval.
River Bluff Water Update - Erica
Pickett provided an update of the water
situation at River Bluff. The district received a letter from the City (9/9/14) indicating elevated lead levels at buildings
in the community. The district performed
tests at all district facilities and found
lead levels above the action level at
River Bluff (RB). As soon as the elevated
lead levels were confirmed, all drinking
water was turned off at River Bluff and
portable water was and continues to
be provided. The district went through
various rounds of testing and water
flushing at River Bluff. The District has
contacted Stoughton Utilities and the
DNR to assist with determining where
the lead is entering the RB water supply.
The district believes the incoming water
supply contains lead particulates, but
those particulates are not making their
way into the building as the internal test
results are currently below the action
level. The District is currently looking at
filters for River Bluff and hopes to have

the drinking water turned on early 2015.

Wisconsin School Forest Resolution 48 Acres - Judy Singletary informed the Board of the 48 Acre Land
Committees work and their recommendation to designate the donated land as
a school forest. This item will be placed
on the January 5 agenda for board action designating this land a school forest.

Awards - The Policy Committee has reviewed the revisions to 813.00 Student
Scholarships and Awards and recommends approval of said revisions. This
item will be placed on the January 5
agenda for board approval.
1104.00 Flyers, Posters, Brochures
- The Policy Committee has reviewed
the revisions to 1104.00 Flyers, Posters,
Brochures and recommends approval of
said revisions. This item will be placed
on the January 5 agenda for board approval.

Plan Update, EA Job Shadowing Update,
Innovation Grant Update - January 19;

Building: Center will tell story of Norwegian immigration and heritage

Continued from page 1

The important thing

and are well along with done, its done right.
finishing the auditorium,
Gryttenholm said.
Once the flooring and
the walls done, installation
of the technology that will
help the center achieve its
mission will begin.
Were still a couple of
weeks away from that, he
said.
Gryttenholm explained
that the centers planners
spent a great deal of time in
the beginning talking with
architects about the overall
project and its components.
We didnt settle on what
we wanted to do with the
first try, he said. We went
back and forth three or four
times. While we want it to
be Norwegian, we didnt
want it to be like modern
Oslo, which has a lot of
glass and steel.
By the same token, he
added, we didnt want it to
look like a log cabin. Architecturally, we wanted it to
fit into the community.
Gryttenholm and others
involved in planning the
heritage center spent more
than a year investigating
similar facilities in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa
to find out what other
groups are doing and what
they may have wanted to

Jerry Gryttenholm

do differently if they could

step back in time.
It was like going to
school to find out what was
going on out there and learn
from their mistakes, he
said. As Ive told the contractor, we have one chance
to do it right. We dont
have any need to open on a
specific date.
The important thing to
us is that when its done,
Workers are finishing construction of the Norwegian Heritage Center on the corner of Main and Page streets.
its done right.

Telling the story

The large new building is
an impressive sight in downtown Stoughton, and Gryttenholm promised its interior will also be inspiring.
But the more impressive
part is going to be the way
were going to tell and present the immigration stories
using the latest technology,
he said.
Exhibitions will detail
the histories of Norwegian
immigrants in the Stoughton area and beyond. He
stressed that none of the

stories are made up.

These are actual stories,
he said. The design firm
that were working with has
gone to great lengths to do
everything they can to keep
it authentic.
Gryttenholm said people wont find anything
like this any place close to
here. He said the excitement is growing as the
buildings interior continues to take shape. He and
other planners have not
seen the whole package,
because of the size of a lot

Partnering to benefit
community
Darlene Arneson, president of the Sons of Norway
Mandt Lodge, will manage the heritage centers
day-to-day operations. She
views the new building as a
capstone in the historically
oriented neighborhood at
South Page and North Main
streets, which includes
the Stoughton Historical
Society and its historical
museum. The area is also
home to the Stoughton Area
Senior Center.
The Norwegian Heritage
Center will make the neighborhood so much stronger
for people who have an
interest in these things, she
observed. Although were
all separate entities, we
help support each other and
look forward to welcoming
the heritage center.
Arneson said there are
about 20 businesses in
Stoughton that have a Norwegian focus, and the new
center will benefit all of
them in some way. Gryttenholm said a big part of its
work will involve partnering with existing businesses
and organizations most

within Stoughton but some

based outside the city, like
the Naeseth Library in
Madison, part of the Norwegian American Genealogical Center.
We want to build this
to help Stoughton become
more of a destination place
rather than just a passthrough, Gryttenholm told
the Courier Hub last year.
The more of these kinds
of things we have not only
will bring people into town
on a daily basis, hopefully, but maybe theyll find
enough interest in town
that theyll spend a little

time downtown shopping or

overnight.
He stressed that the heritage center is not interested
in competing with anyone,
nor in making money the
idea from the start has been
to benefit the rest of the
community and its businesses. To that end, Gryttenholm
said, local subcontractors
were used as much as possible in building the center.
Were being careful to
do it right, and that building should be as impressive
50 years from now as it was
the day that we opened it,
he said.
