Afternoon full of fun

The Stoughton High School Norwegian Dancers held their annual
Norse Afternoon of Fun Sunday, showing off dance moves and
raising money for an upcoming trip to Norway. The event included
more than 30 raffle items, a silent auction, the introduction of the
2015 Syttende Mai King and Queen and plenty of performances.

showed off their own dance moves during intermission.
Whether its here in his new home in

Stoughton or back in his native New York
City, Michael Hecht knows how art and history can open doors and minds.
The talented assistant director of leisure
services at Skaalen Nursing and Rehabilitation Center will present an exhibit on
World War II during a one-day showing at
the center Feb. 19. From prestigious art galleries and museums to modest day centers
of retirement homes, Hecht takes his show
with him and enjoys being able to use his
considerable crafts to connect with people.
Families will say, Thanks for exercising
my parent from the neck up, Hecht said.
I bring the certain knowledge I have of art
and history and of my readings; I tie things
to literature.
For this project, Hecht is touching on
family connections, including letters home
from his uncle, Brooklyn-born Louie

raised in Stoughton while
Jodi moved to Stoughton
from Madison with her family when she was 6.
Dan graduated from Ripon

business, Jodi was raising
the family. Jodi also took
care of other children in
their home while their kids
were growing up. They have
two children, Justin, 26, and
Schyler, 22. Jodi spent many
days volunteering as a chaperone for school field trips
and made sure their two children remain active. Jodi and
the kids spent many hours
helping in the family business.
After opening their Radio
Shack, Dan became more
active in the community.
They joined the Stoughton
Area Chamber of Commerce
and became active members.
Dan has served on the board
of directors for the Stoughton chamber, Stoughton

Building on record of achievement

Annual report shows increased community benefit, more patients served
Bill Livick
Stoughton Hospital
continued to accumulate
accreditations and state and
national recognition for
patient satisfaction in 2014.
As in 2013, the hospital
was again recognized with
awards for patient satisfaction in both general hospital services and its emergency department, and also
as a healthy workplace for
employees.
The American Association of Cardiovascular and
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
recognized the hospitals
commitment to improving the quality of life by
enhancing standards of care.
The National Rural
Health Association again
named Stoughton Hospital among the top 20 critical access hospitals in the
nation for patient satisfaction.
The American Heart
Association recognized
the hospital as a Gold FitFriendly Company for
a healthy workplace for
employees.
Those are just a few of
the accolades the hospital
received in the past year.
President and CEO Terry
Brenny said such recognitions are evidence that
in 2014, the hospital has
stayed (the) course with
our mission of providing
safe, quality healthcare with
exceptional personalized
service.
Were not only maintaining our record of
achievement but building
on it, Brenny said in an

interview with the Courier
Hub.
Another prestigious recognition came from The
American College of Radiology, which gave the
hospital its Gold Seal of
Accreditation, representing
the highest level of image
quality and patient safety.
Brenny said the accreditation is significant because
it increases the hospitals
credibility and ability to bill
third-party payers.
Third-party payers and
Medicare and Medicaid
look for accreditation as a
condition of payment, and
it also builds confidence in
the department, he said.
He said being named one
of the Top 20 critical access
hospitals nationwide for
patient satisfaction is further evidence that Stoughton Hospital continues to
improve each year.
Brenny said that as other
hospitals show continuous
improvement, it has the
beneficial effect of forcing Stoughton Hospital to
be at that higher stratum of
achievement.
Youve got to continually perform and improve,
he said.
The past year of growth
and development was
rewarding in other ways, as
well.
Brenny said the hospitals outpatient business
increased, and emergency
rooms and urgent care volumes are up from last year
as well.
He said the hospital welcomes and serves patients
By the numbers
Statistics for fiscal year of Oct. 1, 2013 Sept. 30, 2014

of all the major medical
clinics in the area, including Dean Medical Center,
Unity Point Health-Meriter,
and UW Hospitals, as well
as independent physicians
specialty practices such
areas as orthopedics and
gynecology.
All Stoughton medical
clinics are associated with
Stoughton Hospital and
refer patients to us, said
Brenny.
The hospital began a new
program last year of helping
people sign up for health
insurance coverage in the
marketplace established
under the Affordable Care
Act, also known as Obamacare. The hospitals Certified Application Counselors
had 182 appointments for
the service, according to
hospital records.
Also, the Wisconsin Hospital Association named
Ken Wahlin the 2014
Trustee of the Year. Wahlin served as chair of the
Stoughton Hospital Governing Board and Executive
Committee and completed
a seven-year tenure on the
board last fall.
Hospital officials also
worked on developing modernization plans in 2014.
Brenny said this spring
hell make final recommendations to the Governing

Board for approval for the
hospitals ambulatory care
project, which will include
an expanded emergency
room, urgent care, physician clinic space for visiting
specialists, a new laboratory, an ambulatory surgery
facility, and ambulatory
infusion rooms for patients.
He said the improvements
would be about a 20-month
project assuming that we
get final approval for our
financing plan, develop our
construction contracts and
all that.
Planners would like to
break ground late summer or fall and complete
the project by mid-year of
2017.
The first stages of the
project will include redesigning the parking lots and
streets on hospital property. Brenny expects those
changes to take place this
spring and summer.
A lot of this construction
will be phased to minimize
disruption and maintain
essential services, he said.
We cant do it all at once,
but we will take major bites
into it and progressively do
it to achieve minimum disruption.
Election: Kettle Park West among most-discussed issues

Continued from page 1
the primary. The two top
vote-getters will face off in
the April general election.
Most voters are aware
that one of the hot-button
issues here has been the
Kettle Park West development and whether the city
should help subsidize the
project through the use of
tax-increment financing.
Engelberger has been
staunchly opposed to using
TIF to support the development, while Urven and Gilbert have said they support
it.
In an interview with the
Courier Hub last month,
Urven stressed hes not
challenging Engelberger
so much as simply seeking to return to the council
in hopes of representing a
younger demographic.
Urven won a vote of the
Common Council in September 2013 to fill a vacant
seat, but he resigned five
months later after moving
from District 4 on the citys
west side to a home on the
east side. The 28-yearold has lived in Stoughton with his wife, Heather,
since 2012, and the couple
recently celebrated the birth
of their first child.
He thinks the city needs
more general stores in
addition to the niche businesses that already exist
in order to get residents to
spend money here versus
Candidate questionnaires
Page 7
Engelberger said the city

should become proactive in
creating plans for developments, then recruit developers interested in enhancing
our planned developments.
We should be responsible
for smart growth of our
community focusing on
industries and businesses
that bring good jobs.
Guardian IG not likely to build here

A city official confirmed a
rumor Tuesday that Stoughton is no longer in the running
for a large manufacturer to
build a production facility in
Business Park North.
City finance director Laurie Sullivan said the Guardian Interior Glass Inc. hadnt
sent us an official notice,
but what weve heard is that
theyre looking for an existing building now and arent
looking to build at this time.
Last August, the Common
Council discussed the prospect of Guardian building a
204,000-square-foot plant
that would initially employ
80 to 100 people. The council
later unanimously authorized
Mayor Donna Olson and her
staff to prepare a developers
agreement and a tax-increment financing project plan

for the expansion of Business
Park North. The city owns a
35-acre parcel in the business
park that officials thought
would be close to the ideal
size for the company.
A couple of city alders had
told the Courier Hub off the
record that Guardian probably would not be coming to
Stoughton to build. Sullivan
confirmed those comments.
Guardian is headquartered
in Auburn Hills, Mich., and
manufactures fabricated glass
products, fiberglass insulation
and other building materials
for commercial, residential
and automotive markets. It
also has offices in Madison.

$1 million for any TIF project.City
plans to borrow the $5.1 million for

would. KPW Phases II and III are
rumored to need additional millionplus in city TIF gifts to the developer.

With a strong Vote NO on Corporate Welfare campaign, the KPW

If you have not heard, forgotten or quit paying attention, the

KPW project is still a hot topic
in Stoughton and it is not a done
deal.
Until they actually break
ground, the citizens still have a
voice in referendum questions
being petitioned right now for the
Spring election.
The KPW project has been
mired in many questionable practices carried out by the mayor and
some council members, dividing
and degrading our council and
citizens, they have threatened the
integrity and unique fabric of our
city. Our mayor and six council members abused their power,
giving away our treasures in the
form of TIF. The $5.1 million
TIF is a huge sum of money that
they have swindled from the tax
payers for this project without
even asking.
I dont think a council split
right down the middle, represents

the people, especially the majority, silent or not.I attended several city council meetings and listened to hundreds of testimonies
between January and December
2014, hearing overwhelming
opposition to this project and tax
give away. While the majority of
the people speaking out, writing
emails and letters were against
this project, the mayor insisted
on breaking the tie of the council
each and every time in favor of
the KPW project and TIF money
by saying, The people have spoken.
This is not democracy, the
people have not spoken. I urge
you to go to wsto-online.comand
watch any of the council meetings between Jan.28 and Oct.28,
especially those two dates and
you will hear for yourself the
bleedof the people against this
project.
Our mayor and six council

dismissed each and every citizen by never braking rank with
their vote, all the while making a
mockery of the process and turning the meetings into a series of
shameful disrespect.This is not
democracy, the people have not
spoken. Again, $5.1 million is a
lot of money that many citizens
do not even know was promised
to this project.
I have walked the streets for
hours talking to hundreds of
people who had no idea this was
going on in Stoughton. This is
not democracy, the people have
not spoken. I urge you to please
sign the petition today.
Time is running out, let your
voice be heard at the ballot box,
let the people speak!
Terry Parisi
Town of Dunn
The Kettle Park West process mattered, and still does

The way municipalities make
decisions is a good measure of a
democracy.
Democracies work best when citizens:
1) know what governments are
considering in transparent ways,
2) are allowed to express their
needs and opinions early through
community forums or surveys, and
3) are invited to be at the table
throughout the process in formal
and informal ways via community
engagement, committees, and public hearings.
Yes, we can all want additional growth, more children in our
schools, or extra shopping, but how
we obtain these things matters. The
end does not justify the means in a
working democracy. That is why

so many citizens and businesses
remain disturbed about what just
happened in Stoughton regarding
Kettle Park West. If we dont fix
what just happened, why wont it
happen all over again on topics like
downtown redevelopment or the use
of TIF money for some other public purpose?
City Hall and too many council
members demonstrated the willingness to throw citizens and businesses under the bus over the
last 18 months. There was never a
single community forum on KPW
when it took shape as a major TIF in
2013, City Hall deliberately avoided following Stoughtons 2005
TIF policy, the first developers
agreement was never vetted by the

Finance Committee before council
approval, the Maxfield economic
impact study was kept from being
improved by council members, and
on and on it goes.
If Stoughton democracy is measured by what just happened here,
we have little to be proud of. The
challenge now is to make sure that
the process that was used here is
never allowed to happen again.
That is why so many citizens and
businesses are interested in getting
the process fixed once and for all
through a lawsuit, petition or whatever means are yet available.

Other cities have felt the impact of Wal-Marts growth

Stoughton is faced with a development proposal that involves putting a
Wal-Mart supercenter on presently
unbuilt land. Before you invite WalMart to become your biggest neighbor, you should learn what you can
about how Wal-Mart understands
civic duty.
There are relevant stories WalMart wont tell you. Id like to share
one from Auburn, Maine.
Wal-Mart already had an Auburn
big box when they decided to expand
to a supercenter. It wouldnt fit on
their existing site, but a quarter-mile
away there was a larger parcel of
undeveloped land. A hilly spot with
mature pine trees, it was designated
in the citys long-term zoning plan to
be preserved as greenbelt.
But now Wal-Mart wanted it.
Dealing on the quiet with local government, they developed alliances
and got the zoning change they needed placed on a meeting agenda. The
law required advance public notice
of the agenda, so notice was given:

a bland reference to an unspecified
zoning change.
The zoning change passed, and
the general public found out after the
fact.The response: a petition drive
to undo the zoning change by referendum.
Getting the signatures required to
force a referendum wasnt a problem.But Wal-Mart fought the referendum campaign in court and simultaneously set to work on the former
greenbelt. Soon, the hill was stripped
of its trees, blasted and graded flat.
When the courts finally ruled that
the community was entitled to vote,
the campaign to preserve the greenbelt threw up its hands and surrendered. Victory then would only
mean that Wal-Mart would be prevented from building on its new mud
flat.
No vote was ever held. The WalMart supercenter was built, and the
former Wal-Mart became a vacant
eyesore.
Wal-Mart has never been pretty,
but its ability to grow faster than
the society that supports it has been
impressive. Growth is indispensable
to the Wal-Mart business model. If
growth stops, Wal-Mart would soon
become a chain of middle-aged big
boxes on a sea of crumbling asphalt.
No excitement there for a new generation of customers, or for investors
either.
Threats to growth terrify WalMart, and sometimes Wal-Mart
responds to them in ways you might
describe as bullying. If youre an
800-pound gorilla, sometimes you
can get away with it.
Each town has its own story, and
the Auburn story wont be repeated
in Stoughton. Still, the Auburn story
tells you who you are dealing with.

Kettle Park West should be farmland, not a superstore

As a small scale and beginning
farmer, I feel everything happens for
a reason. There is a reason I stumbled onto the Stoughton Library page
one year ago and clicked on a link
called friends of Stoughton and
stumbled on the Kettle Park West
project questioning, why were
we not notified, why werent the
city of Stoughton residents notified
either? I walked into the mayor and
hand wrote my letter of discontent
then, and this is now.
I am a firm believer that farmland
should be farmed or preserved,not
paved over. You may say, easy
to say? I say, no, what is easy to
believe is I grew up in the country
outside of the once little town of
Cottage Grove which is no longer a nice little town surrounded by
farms and farmland and a main street

you could ride your horses up and
down. Now, it is a mini-Chicago,
with houses, strip malls north, south,
east and west of the city, all in the
once beautiful farmland. Everything
so crowded, and taxes so high, you
cannot breathe. I cant even visit
there anymore. I would not want
this to become Stoughton, but it can
if people do not act and vote to have
transparency about what is going on
in their own home town.
I also believe that people leave
the farm; the farm never leaves the
people. This can be changed with
giving the power back to the people
who help preserve the small town
heritage, values and the growth of
main street shops.
Many citizens in and outside of
the city of Stoughton live and love

Stoughton for its small town beauty,
and they should have a right to vote
for the funds to re-vitalize their small
town one way or the other. There are
not many small towns left, and with
that, there is not much farmland left,
and once it is all gone it is not
hard to figure out what happens next.
Turn in your signed petitions for
the questions to be on the ballet and
so for the referendum at 343 E. Main
St. Sign them as your own circulator.
Drop them in the door slot as soon
as possible, or mail them. Let your
voice and vote be heard.
Fear is a habit, food is a right, and
so is the right to vote.

Stoughton Opera House
People Brothers Band returns with award-winning music

Great vocalists, musical
diversity are keys to
groups soulful sound
If you go
Bill Livick
One of the states top soul/

rhythm and blues bands returns to
the Opera House Friday.
Based in Madison, The People
Brothers Band first played the
historic Opera House stage in
2013. Since then, the eight-piece
band has recorded and released
a new album, Middle of the In
Between. The album features 15
tracks, most written by one of the
groups two main songwriters and
excellent singers Bobby Gronna
and Teresa Marie Scrivens.
The band walked away with two
awards in the 2013 Madison Area
Music Awards Best Blues Album
(for the bands live album, released
in 2012) and Best Blues Song (for
the track Looky Here Mister).
The group was also named R&B/
Soul Artist of the Year 2014 in
the annual Wisconsin Area Music
Industry awards.
Co-founder Tim Lochner said
band members were happy to be
recognized by our peers like that,
despite the band not having much
of a presence in the Milwaukee
area.
The People Brothers music is an
upbeat mix of soul, R&B, rock and
jam-band improvisation.
Lochner, who co-founded the
group with drummer Greg Schmidt
in 2009, said the Opera House provides an opportunity for the band
to take a somewhat different bent
on performing. The band is used
to playing clubs and music festivals where theres lots of room to
dance. That wont happen at the
show Friday because the venue
is a seated concert hall, but Lochner says the band is excited for the
opportunity regardless.
One of our favorite things about
playing music in an eight-piece
band is that were so diverse,
he said in a telephone interview.
Getting to play there gives us an
opportunity to show the diversity
in our music.

We love being able to switch
it around and play different events
and venues. We tailor the set list to
where were playing and what the
crowds like.
The band doesnt often get a
chance to play in an ornate room
with outstanding acoustics, Lochner said, and will probably play a
lot of our slower stuff. But its still
fun, and we love it.
The band has emerged as one
of Madisons tightest and most
soulful groups, featuring vocalists Scrivens and Gronna, whose
singing alone is worth the price
of admission. The band also has
a host of fine musicians and back
up singers, including standouts on
lead guitar (Nick Avery-Bucher)
and rhythm guitar (Tim Lochner),
saxophone (Matt Simmermann),
keyboards (Gronna), bass (Scott
Lochner) and percussion (Schmidt
and Adam Schmieding).
Our strength really is the balance we have between all these
different musicians, Lochner
observed. Theres a lot of diversity in our music and also in our
personal lives.
While the band bills itself as a
rhythm and soul group, Lochner
said, at least half of us are rooted in the jam-band scene and are
influenced by the Grateful Dead
and the Allman Brothers and Phish
and stuff like that.
The band can also turn out slower, more introspective numbers
written in the singer-songwriter
vein by one of its lead singers.
The People Brothers are also
known for organizing a couple of
large music events in southern Wisconsin. The Charity Jamboree is
coming March 7 to the complex on

East Washington Avenue in Madison that includes the High Noon

Saloon, The Brass Ring and The
Brink Lounge and Nightclub. With
more than 40 bands, its billed as
Madisons largest one-day indoor
music fest. All proceeds from the
festival go to the campaign to end
multiple sclerosis, the UW Carbone Cancer Center and the American Diabetes Association.
The band also organizes The
People Fest a three-day outdoor
music festival on 300 acres in the
hills outside Hillsboro. This years
festival, Aug. 6-8, will feature

more than 60 bands.
Lochner understatedly said both
events take a lot of time and energy to pull off.
Everybody in the band chips in
in their own way, he said. Were
like a big, long-armed octopus
helping out. Its a real example of
teamwork.
With various members having
full-time jobs and raising families, the band stays close to home,
performing mostly in western
and central Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota.
This year will mark the groups
fourth appearance in the Mid West
Music Fest in Winona, Minn., in
April.
Weve been playing the Winona-La Crosse Driftless region
a lot, Lochner said. We had
our first headlining show at the
Caboose in Minneapolis a couple
weekends ago. It was a pretty big
deal, and we definitely feel like
were building our fan base with
every show. Were doing it on our
own and doing it the right way.

Cultivate a Sense of Leisure

Work and Productivity may be important,
but they arent the only important things in
life, or even the most important things in
life. Most of us would probably agree that
God and our family should come before our
job, and that the whole point of work is to
help us support ourselves and our families.
A much neglected area of many peoples
lives today is leisure. We are so busy with
work and the workaday aspects of life (e.g.,
cooking, cleaning, etc.) that we dont find
time for play. Play can be anything from
playing catch with your children to enjoying
music to playing games. The arts are also
an important aspect of leisure, and simply
going to a museum or to the movies can be
a nice break from the monotony of our work
lives. Children are often better at playing than
adults, so you might just let the kids decide
on the playtime activity. Try something you
havent tried before. Throw a Frisbee or
make up a new game. Put on a play with
your family or friends, or play a guessing
game. There is no end to the ways in which
we might enjoy our leisure time.
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
I know that there is nothing better for

people than to be happy and to do good
while they live. That each of them may eat
and drink, and find satisfaction in all their
toilthis is the gift of God.

Dist. 2 Candidate questionnaires
owning two businesses have

given me great insight and
perspective in representing the
best interests of citizens in our
community.
Will Kettle Park West ultimately be good for Stoughton,
and in a reasonable amount
of time?
If KPW gets built as approved
with TIF, the city may see a benefit in increased tax revenue to
provide services in 17-20 years.
Had my advice been taken to
approve the project without
TIF the project would generate
tax revenue that would go to
providing services to the community immediately after being
built. I dont believe that is an
appropriate payback period. In
addition much of the infrastructure paid by the TIF should be
paid by state and federal taxes
not by municipal TIF. A fresh
approach to city development
to replace the reactive approach
we have is advised.
Did the city handle the
process the right way? What
could it have done better?
The KPW process was
botched from the beginning.
From the signing of a developers agreement in the middle of
the night prior to initiating an
economic impact study to not
following city development policies to holding the final Joint
Review Board meeting when
many could not attend set the
stage for a secretive approach.
Many citizens felt left out of the
process. These actions divided
the community and created a
sense of mistrust in their government. An open and honest
transparent process is always a
better option when dealing with
the publics interests. It was

embarrassing to watch.
What is the primary thing
Stoughton needs to do to
attract business growth?
Our approach has been reactionary to developers looking to
develop in Stoughton. We need
to become proactive in creating plans for developments,
then recruit developers interested in enhancing our planed
developments. We should be
responsible for smart growth
of our community focusing on
industries and businesses that
bring good jobs.
How can the city and
school district work together
to foster economic development and bring young families
to Stoughton?
We need smart growth to
attract and recruit businesses
to our city that provide high
paying jobs. Families will move
here, build homes here and earn
enough money to spur economic development necessary to
grow our tax base and increase
school enrollments. We need to
be on the same page.
How much of a priority
should the city make attracting tourism?
This should be a high priority. We have a very unique
downtown with our landmark
historical buildings and neighborhoods. We have a wonderful Opera House attracting
National Acts and ever increasing events. The priority is to
constantly draw people to our
local businesses to keep our
local economy prospering.
Whats the best answer for
dealing with Hwy. 51 traffic
for the coming years?

Decisions have been made
to control traffic with roundabouts. Some like them, some
dont. They do make traffic flow
better and they are safer. We
have to prepare for the likelihood of a bypass at some point
by enhancing our downtown
so people will spend time and
money there regardless.
To what extent should the
city focus on street maintenance?
In order to have good
streets, we need to maintain
them. If we hold off and postpone projects it costs more
down the road. Holding off too
long makes it impossible to
afford and other services may
need to be cut at the expense
of having streets we deserve.
What other major issues
will the city face in the next
two years?
In addition to focusing on
industrial developments by
attracting and recruiting high
tech companies that pay family sustaining wages to attract
families, we need to focus on
redevelopment and infill development of our downtown district. This will take a great deal
of planning to make sure we
get the right balance of mixed
use development that will
enhance our historic nature,
flow from the river front to
main street and throughout our
downtown arts district. This

There are many questions out

there that have been answered
already but the information
seems to get confused or lost
between city officials and concerned citizens.
Stoughton needs to do to
attract business growth?
Stoughtons issue with business growth right now is traffic.
We have many nice stores that
cater to niche markets, but we
lack more general stores. So
people shop online or in other
towns. If we had a few more
stores that offered everyday
essentials, people would stay
in town to shop and have a
bit of a domino effect as that
increased traffic to make the
area more attractive to other
businesses.
to Stoughton?
I think the referendum that
recently passed is a good start.
Solid schools are a main draw
for younger families. We also
need to capitalize on the fact
that we are near a bigger city
like Madison, without being big
ourselves which was a large
draw to my family.
Stoughtons biggest asset is
the Opera House as well as the
historic charm. Pulling in tourists seems a given to me with
those strengths. Being Madison
adjacent Stoughton should pull
in people who want a touch of
old world charm to escape the
bigger city bustle.
Whats the best answer for
dealing with Hwy. 51 traffic
for the coming years?
I am hopeful for the bypass
to be approved. In addition to
limiting traffic downtown to
people who want to be there
instead of just passing through,
I hope it will provide incentive
for developers to build on the
east side of the city.
I may be quite biased,
working as a delivery driver,
but I feel, and hear frequent
complaints about the roads
in Stoughton, especially Main
Street lately. Not that Main is
the only one, but it is frequently
used and should be in better
shape.

alder, and why should people
vote for you?
My main interest in running
for alder is to add perspective.
I feel like the current council
just lacks in a voice for younger
people or those who are starting their independent lives.
I intend to represent people
making a little bit less money
and looking for solid city services, appropriate shopping
options and nice, affordable
housing. I want to keep an eye
for stores selling essentials
within comfortable walking
distance of residents as well as
well funded schools, parks and
libraries.
Will Kettle Park West ultimately be good for Stoughton,
of time?
I think Kettle Park West is
important to provide options
for people looking to buy
certain staples without resorting to driving to Madison or
ordering things online. A large
number of people Ive spoken
with were excited simply by the
prospect of a larger Wal-Mart
to serve more of their needs
without even caring what other
stores would be involved. I
also hope that it will be an
impetus to bring people in from
nearby small towns who might
then move down the street to
shop and explore the heart of
Stoughton.
process the right way? What
could it have done better?
The main issue Ive seen with
the process of Kettle Park West
is dissemination of information.

Opening up the world of

For Hecht, who has lived
in Stoughton for the past

dont expect to.
Hecht, who is self-taught
at his skills in creating art,
has been featured on the
Discovery Channel and
made presentations to the
Veterans Historical Museum in Madison and churches and schools around the
area. He said his art projects
are made to inspire people
to embrace their own history and creativity, as well
as think critically.
I did a program a few
years ago at the veterans
museum on the Holocaust,
and I used front-page
headlines from the Wisconsin State Journal and

cut-out pictures of Jews
out of the Warsaw (Poland)
Ghetto, Hecht said. I
drew a train (heading to a
Nazi concentration camp)
with the smoke and underneath I had the wife saying,
Honey, Ill have supper for

Ive gotta take this train
to the camp. I heard people say, Wow, this guys
intense, but the thing is,
these were ordinary people
driving those trains and
then going home.
Hecht, who worked with
the Metropolitan Museum
of Art and Museum of
Modern Art when he lived
in Brooklyn, generally puts
on two shows a month at
Skaalen everything from
Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan to Leonardo Da Vinci
and Michelangelo. He said
hes very pleased to get the
leeway to do the projects,
which he said have been
very well received.
Were doing a lot of
things a majority of homes
dont do, Hecht said.
Theyre amazed at the
response you see someone who you think is maybe
a little bit unaware, and Ill
start talking and that persons head will pick up, and
theyll know what youre
talking about.
The whole thing is teach

would be nice to buy a few

to have a good, thriving
orchard, for the cross-pollination. Its like a perfect

If youre downtown
looking to quench a thirst
and enjoy some old-school
ambiance, Fahrenheit 364
has it all covered.
The bar, which opened
just before the holidays, is
in full swing with a wide
range of beers and wine,
and offers a comfortable
place for people to either
wind down or wind it up.
Owner Scott Sowlles
was looking to start and
own his own business
after serving as the general manager for the nowclosed Main Street Pour
House, and he found the
answer in the former fire
station on 364 E. Main
St. The name Fahrenheit
364 is both a reference
to the sites history and a
takeoff on Ray Bradburys
famous book-burning scifi novel Fahrenheit 451.
I wanted to stay with
the firehouse theme,
Sowlles said.
The building, bought by
Sowlles in 2010, was built
in 1884 to house the original Stoughton Fire Department, and in more recent
years was home to a tattoo
parlor and consignment
shop.
We did a lot of work,
he said on renovating the

building to house the new
bar.
Sowlles has photos of
the building when it served
as a fire station, thanks to
the Stoughton Historical
Society, and hes planning on adding them soon
to the wall. The building,
which still has its original
tin ceiling and wall coverings, is a reminder of the
old days, and is centered
with a finely crafted bar,
compliments of Sowlles
friend, Mick Magnuson.
Fahrenheit boasts a wide
array of beers more than
50 at the moment.
Im thinking thats
probably the largest selection in town, and Im
pretty proud of that, he
said. We have a little
something for wines Im
not getting too crazy right
now.
Sowlles said business
with its location across the
street from the Stoughton
Opera House has been
good so far, and hes looking for that to improve as
more people hear about
the new venue.
I havent done any
advertising yet, and The
Opera House really hasnt
started they had a show
(on Saturday) but it was
a 3 oclock show, and not
many people are drinking
at 3 oclock in the afternoon, but Im looking forward to that.

There are five major
steps to making cider, said
Baird: grind up the apples,
press out the juice, pour the
juice into a tank, let it ferment and transfer the liquid
to a cooler. Honey is added
at some point, though Baird
declined to say when.
Baird said recently hes
experimented with drier,
champagne ciders that
have more honey added
and therefore higher alcohol contents. He recently
made a batch called Death
Valley, which finishes at
10-10.5 percent alcohol by
volume, and served it at the
Isthmus Beer and Cheese
Fest in Madison on Saturday, Jan. 17.

For Joseph Baird, proprietor of Mershons Artisan

Cider in Stoughton, heritage matters.
The name Mershon is a
tribute to Bairds ancestors.
Shortly after coming to the
United States from Ireland,
his great-great-grandfather,
Henry Mershon, died and
his wife Sarah remarried,
taking the name Baird for
herself and her children.
Joseph Baird said some
of his relatives want to
change the family name
back to Mershon, but he
feels that would be too
much of a hassle.
I dont want to change
my name, but the cider is in
honor of the name that was
lost, he said.
Bairds nascent cidery
would likely make his forefathers proud. Less than
eight months after moving
into a building on Business Park Circle in north
Stoughton, hes persuaded
eight Dane County bars and
restaurants and 11 grocery
and liquor stores, including
Stoughton Spirits, 965 N.
Page St., to carry his hard
cider. He said hes used
apples from a Stoughton
orchard and honey from
a vendor in Verona, and
wants to continue to forge
relationships with owners
of local establishments.
Baird started making cider for himself and
friends in 2008. At the
time, he said, there werent
many options for cider
drinkers. He pointed out
that the ones that have since
become popular Angry
Orchard and Woodchuck,
for instance contain ingredients like apple juice concentrate, carbonated water
and natural flavors.
Mershons contains
only apples and honey. He
would love to use more
locally sourced apples he
made one batch of cider
using apples he picked from
a small, private Stoughton
orchard near Ricks Lawn
and Garden but said apple
production in Wisconsin
cant compete with states
like Washington and Michigan, where he gets most of
his apples from. He said he
goes through over 5,000
pounds of apples every two
weeks and that orchards in
the area arent big enough
to handle that type of volume.
You have to realize
places like (Greens Pleasant Springs Orchard and the
private orchard) dont sell
bins of bulk apples to juice
companies or someone like
me, he said. They just
sell apples to people that
come in wanting apples and
apple products.
Baird said he decided to
start the cidery in Stoughton because it was more
economical than starting in
Madison, where he lives.
Another plus: The building
he chose was brand new.
Im the very first tenant, he said. With a
cidery, you want everything
to be completely clean
when you first come in.
The cider is available in
a variety of sizes; you can
order everything from 750

Milton, five

The Stoughton High

School wrestling team
knew it had its work cut
out if it was to get past
host Milton Saturday at the
Badger Conference Tournament.
In a field that included
32 ranked Division 1 wrestlers, the Vikings not only
picked up five individual
conference titles but also
finished ahead of Milton
winning the tournament
with 335 1/2 points.
Milton, which won the
regular season dual title,
finished with 310 points in
second place.
To really have the success we were looking for,
it was pretty exciting to
be able to pull that off,
co-head coach Dan Spilde
said. I thought the guys
wrestled really well across
the board. We had good
intensity, and I thought we
wrestled pretty smart.
Senior Austin Benton
(195 pounds), junior Collin Kraus (138), sophomore Brandon Klein (106),
sophomore Tristan Jenny
(113) and sophomore Garrett Model (132) all won
titles.

The Stoughton High School boys

basketball team has taken up a new
motto since a loss to Monona Grove
earlier this season One, two,
three, family; four, five, six, fight.
That motto has meant even more
after the team found out about head
coach Matt Hocketts son Braxtons
situation still recovering from a
premature birth.
Fridays 47-36 win at Oregon
(13-4 overall, 6-3 Badger South
Conference) was not just the sixth
straight victory or just the 10th win
in 11 games. Instead, it was another

challenge answered by a team that
becomes closer every day.
That is what we do every game,
sophomore Troy Slaby said. We
are a family, and we fight together.
We keep that motto, and it works for
Stoughton with 1,002 points,

Stoughton (15-3, 7-1) might not
have run away against the Panthers
like the previous five wins all by
24-plus points but the Vikings
never trailed and jumped out to a
15-point lead in the third quarter.
Oregon juniors Alex Duff and

Charlie Soule who finished with
16 and 12 points, respectively
helped cut Stoughtons lead back
down to 10.
That is when Oregon senior Peter
Kissling was fouled on a 3-point
attempt with two minutes left.
Kissling, however, missed all three
free throws.
They have a lot of weapons. They
have four guys that average between
eight and 12 points per game, so it
is a hard matchup for us, especially
when we are trying to play our 1-3-1
zone, Hockett said. We just want
to try and match up and have one
guarding one even though we are
playing zone on every possession.

It didnt seem like the

Stoughton High School
girls basketball was going
to match Oregon on Tuesday after falling behind by
19 points.
However, the host
Vikings kept clawing back,
and an 11-2 run in the
fourth quarter cut the deficit to just three.
That is as far as the
comeback could get
though, as Oregon senior
Kelsey Jahn knocked down
eight free throws in the
final two minutes to seal
Stoughtons fate in a 60-50
loss.
You cant start the way

got to us a little bit, but

you have to give Oregon
credit. Jahn made those
free throws when she needed to, and they hit some
big shots early.
The Panthers (12-7 overall, 9-2 Badger South)
and Stoughton (14-6, 7-3)
needed a win to remain in
the hunt for a conference
title, and it looked like
Oregon was going to cruise
to the victory early on.
However, a couple of
baskets by Stoughton
junior Hannah Hobson
and another by sophomore
Kendra Halverson cut Oregons double-digit lead to
just four with five minutes
left.
Oregon senior Riley
Rosemeyer, who finished
with 23 points, stretched
the lead back to six before
Stoughton sophomore Payton Kahl picked up a steal
and a layup and Hobson

added a free throw, cutting
Oregons lead to 50-47
with 2:38 left.
That is when Jahn took
over. She finished 8-for-8
from the line in the fourth
quarter and collected 18
total points.
One of our keys to
the game was weathering
the storm, Oregon head
coach Corey Sielaff said.
Stoughton is a team of
runs and is a high-energy,
high-intensity team ... We
jumped out to that big lead,
but it is not going to last
against a team like this that
has so many versatile scorers.
But I was really happy.
They went on a run in the
first, and we came back
with a big run of our own.
Oregon forced 13 turnovers in the first quarter
and jumped out to a 25-9
lead.
Stoughton started the
scoring with a basket by
Kahl, but Jahn later drilled
a 3-pointer and added a
jumper to make it 8-2.
Oregon junior Leah

knocked down 3-pointers

Senior forward Arin BonDurant

knotted Fridays Badger South Conference game at 1-all in the second period, but the Vikings were never able to
go ahead of visiting Monona Grove.
Senior forward Jordan Gerothanas
scored a pair of even-strength goals
in the third period to ice the Silver
Eagles 3-1 victory.
Stoughton senior goaltender Matt
Murphy stopped 43 of 45 shots on goal
in the loss, while Monona Grove sophomore Andri Nahirniak turned away
30 shots.
Postseason seeding
Despite splitting with the Greendale co-op (7-15-1) during the regular
season, the Vikings (7-14-1) ended
up seeded behind the Ice Force at
Sundays WIAA seeding meeting.
Greendale earned the seventh-seed,

while Stoughton came in eighth.
The Vikings will still be able to host
one playoff game, however, the team
welcomes ninth-seeded Whitefish Bay
(3-17-1) to Stoughton at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17. The winner advances on
to face the top-seeded Kettle Moraine
co-op (14-8-1) at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb.
20 inside Naga-Waukee Park Ice Arena.
The Waukesha (16-5-1) and Janesville co-op (12-8-1) rounded out the
top three, while Marquette (8-9-5) and
Kenosha (10-9-2) came in fourth and
fifth.
Stoughton 17, Monroe 0

With the conference title and playoff seeding already decided, the
Vikings hosted Monroe on Monday
with nothing but pride on the line.
Freshman Jackson Breton managed
to run his team-high goal total to 16
with five tallies and an assist in the
17-0 blowout.
The Vikings took a 6-0 lead in the
first period and kept the pressure on
with seven more goals in the second.
It was just the second time Stoughton put up double-digit goals on an
opponent this season. The other was
a 14-0 shutout also against the Avalanche.
All told, the Vikings saw eight or
nine different scores on the evening,
including senior Arin BonDurant,
juniors Max Quale, Ian Sutton and
sophomore Justin Gibbons, all who
added a pair of goals.
Senior Robby Volk, junior James
Browning and sophomore Zeth
Zeichert each tallied a goal.
Senior Matt Murphy finished the
evening with 17 saves, while Monroes Dan Guilliams stopped 39 in the
loss.
Stoughton close out the regular at 7
p.m. Friday inside the Mandt Center
against Oregon (11-10-1).
Girls BB: Stoughton knocks off Fort Atkinson

as much as 19 in the second quarter, and they led
35-21 at halftime.
Koopman kept the
momentum going in the
third with a 3-pointer, and
Jahn added one of her own
to push Oregons lead to
16.
But that is when the
Vikings started to claw
back, with Kahl cutting
the lead to 10 twice before
an 11-2 run made it a one
possession game.
We talked about creating more turnovers and
applying more pressure,
and that helped us with the
streak we went on, Pickett said. Defensively, we
have said all along that is

what we are going to hang
out hats on. That is not
going to change. We just
struggled to get stops in
the first quarter, and it was
a pretty even game after
that.
Sophomore Marissa
Robson led Stoughton
with 16 points, while Kahl
added 12. Sophomore
Kendra Halverson chipped
in 10.
The loss not only hurts
the Vikings chances to
win the conference needing to win out and to get
other losses from Oregon
and Edgewood but also
hurts at the upcoming
seeding meeting.

Sundays WIAA seeding
meeting and will host the

(9-13-2) at 7 p.m. Thursday,
Feb. 19. The winner will
most likely move on to play

the winner between eighthseeded Beaver Dam (4-140) and ninth-seeded Viroqua (1-14-0) on Feb. 19.
Were looking forward
to the opportunity this
year, Icebergs head coach
Mike Jochmann said. I
think we have a shot at a
pretty good run.

Badger Conference champion Sun Prairie (13-4-3)
earned the second seed,
while Middleton (7-8-5)
took the third spot. Despite
their playoff seeding, sixthranked Sun Prairie was
actually a spot ahead of
Onalaska on the wisconsinprephockey poll.

The Vikings also had
fourth places by seniors
Patrick Reilly (152) and
Gunnar Helland (170) and
a fifth place by senior Joe
Hohol (heavyweight).
Sophomore Joe Nelson
(220) finished in eighth
place.
Stoughton was 6-6 in
place matches, including
5-3 in the finals.
We always have
emphasis on winning the
place matches, but the
tournament itself is so
deep that having so many
guys in the top four places
was certainly one of the
main goals, Spilde said.
From there, it is just to
find a way to win as many
as we can, and winning
those five titles was certainly a big one for us.
Klein ranked No. 5
won his title with a 12-1
major decision over Dalton
Frakes (Mount Horeb). He
started the day with a pin
over Ardit Belul (DeForest) in 1 minute, 32 seconds and a 6-1 win over
Zeke Smith (Sauk Prairie).
Jenny ranked No. 8

He started his day with a

won his finals match 2-1
over Tristan Woods (Milton). Earlier, he won a

Owen Worden (Fort Atkinson) and a 3-0 decision
over Mitchell Golke (Portage).
Kraus ranked No. 2
won his 40th match of
the year with a 14-4 major

Alex Chesmore (Milton)
ranked No. 7. Kraus
started the tournament
with a pin over Preston
Webster (Waunakee) in

Andre Mayllen (Baraboo)
honorable mention in

Benton ranked No. 12

day with a pin over David

No. 14 in 1:59. He began

the finals.
Drew Fjoser (Sauk

11 upset Hasselberger
ranked No. 3 in the
finals with a pin in 2:53.
It was the first time Hasselberger was pinned all
season.
Hasselberger made
the finals with pins over
Gregg Dubois (DeForest)
in 1:34 and Levi Garrett
(Milton) honorable mention in 3:16.
Dow ranked No. 6
fell short of first, as well,
with a 5-2 loss in the finals
against Eddie Smith (Sauk
Prairie) ranked No. 2.
Dow pinned Austin Kind
(Fort Atkinson) in 1:26
and won a 6-4 overtime
match against Sean Gohlke
(Milton).
To have eight of them
in the finals with a chance
to win in the championship
match is certainly what we
are shooting for, Spilde
said. All 14 wanted to be
there, so to get over half of
them there is quite impressive at a tournament of that
quality. We are pleased
that that many were in the
finals.
Hohol was the other
place-match winner. He
pinned Collin Marquardt
(Baraboo) in 1:52 in a
fifth-place match. Hohol
also pinned Kyle Walter
(Monroe) in 1:47.
Reilly lost a 6-2 decision to Zachary Raymond
(Baraboo) honorable
mention in the thirdplace match and was
pinned by Raymond in the
quarterfinals in 4:57.
Reilly defeated Luke

match.
Gunnar Helland

Sauk Prairie took third

Regionals
Now the Vikings will
take aim at not only getting as many individuals
through to sectionals as
possible Saturday at the
Stoughton regional, but
will also be attempting to
win a regional title and
earn a spot in the team sectional Tuesday, Feb. 17.
It wont be easy as 24
ranked wrestlers enter
the field, but Stoughton
ranked No. 3 as a team
will also be trying to get
past Elkhorn ranked No.
6.
Spilde said that while
there are other teams that
give different challenges,
Elkhorn is one of the bigger threats to the Vikings
chances at a regional title.
We found a way to get
ahead of them twice this
year, once in a dual and
once at Mid-States, but
both times they gave us a
very hard push and a run
for our money, Spilde
said. I think that the more
times you wrestle a team
like that, the tougher it is
to come out on top because
the matchups tend to get a
little closer. But we have
faith that we wrestle well
at the end of the year, and
that is what our schedule is
built for and that is what
we intend to do.
Fort Atkinson, Oconomowoc, Oregon, Sun
Prairie, Verona Area and
Watertown also join the
regional.
In the other regional, No.
2 Milton which Spilde
favors the Red Hawks to
win is joined by honorable mention Lake Geneva
Badger, Beloit Memorial,
Delavan-Darien, Janesville
Craig, Janesville Parker,
Westosha Central and
Wilmot Union.

To hold a team like

have liked to stretch it similar to that first meeting. But
to walk away with a doubledigit win on the road in our
conference, we will take that

seven points by Slaby.
The nice thing was that
it wasnt the same guy every
time, Hockett said. It
was a multitude of players,
and when you have that, it
makes you that much more
dangerous of a basketball
team.
Oregon was down by seven at one point in the third
quarter, but Stoughton came
back with a 9-1 run, capped
by a 3-pointer by freshman
Brady Schipper.
We just kept our composure out there tonight and
stayed together and came
together at every dead ball,
Slaby said. Every time we
took a lead, we all made
good plays and kept the lead
and kept our momentum the
whole game.
Duff scored six points in
Photos by Anthony Iozzo
the first quarter, but StoughSophomore Troy Slaby fires up a jumper Friday at Oregon High
tons Slaby and senior Nick
School. Slaby finished with 25 points.
McGlynn combined for 13
to give the Vikings an early
13-8 lead.
Slaby led Stoughton (153, 7-1) with 25 points, while
McGlynn finished with 10
points, reaching 1,002 for
his career.
The Vikings next host
Fort Atkinson at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday and travel to
Monona Grove at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Feb. 17.
It is a nice road win, but
it is one that we cant enjoy
for too long with a Fort
Atkinson team coming right
to our barn on Thursday
night, Hockett said.
