Wal-Marts 60-day
extension request
Page 12

The Common Council maintained its split over the Kettle Park
West Tuesday, deadlocking 6-6 on
whether to grant the project developer a 60-day deadline extension in
an amended development agreement.

That allowed Mayor Donna Olson

vote in favor of the extension.
The amended agreement requires
Forward Development Group to
receive construction bids for public
improvements leading to the westside, Wal-Mart-anchored commercial development up to the citys borrowing of roughly $4.6 million for

the work. Bids received last month

came in about $1 million more than
anticipated, and the developer is in
the process of rebidding parts of it.
The agreement also requires
anchor tenant Wal-Mart to open its
new supercenter by Dec. 31, 2017,
and have an assessed value of at
least $12 million by Jan. 1, 2018.

The agreement also stipulates

that in the event of a developer
default, the city would complete
infrastructure improvements or
allow Wal-Mart to do so.
Voting in favor of the agreement
were Alds. Eric Hohol, Greg Jenson,
Pat OConnor, Sonny Swangstu, Ron
Christianson and Paul Lawrence.

Public pressure
leads to delay
on herbicides
Gazebo Park wont be treated
until after music festival ends
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

A public outcry against applying an herbicide at Gazebo Rotary Park has persuaded city
staff to hold off at least until after a popular
summer music series has ended.
Sustainable Stoughton members Sylvia
Lawrence and Sara Downie raised concerns
in late May and early June with Stoughton
Streets and Parks supervisor Karl Manthe
about plans to treat the park with a product
called Tri-Power to control weeds.
Lawrence and Downie are two of the founding members of Naturally Stoughton, which
rallied support against using herbicides on
city properties in the spring of 2013. The city
later adopted a turf management plan, which
includes conducting annual weed and turf
assessments of the citys parks and playing
fields.
In late May, Lawrence emailed Manthe
and parks supervisor John Halverson to ask
why they were planning to apply Tri-Power

conducted weekdays between the hours of
8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. starting Monday June
15th and finishing the week of July 17th, 2015.
Flushing is done by the opening of fire hydrants.
The purpose of flushing is to remove sediment and
mineral deposits that settle on the bottom of the water
mains. Some temporary discoloration of water may
result, but the water remains safe to drink, but could
cause laundry stains. This condition may be cleared by
opening the cold water faucets to full pressure briefly
after flushing personnel have left the area.

Representatives at 873-3379 or visit us online
at www.stoughtonutilities.com if you have

Planning
Commission
gives nod to
daycare
The City of Stoughton
Planning Commission
approved several items at
its Monday meeting.

Group day care

Senior living
Milestone Senior Living was back in front of
the commission seeking
re-approval of site plans
for a 40-unit senior living facility on Lincoln
Avenue near Hwy. B. The
developer had moved a
few walls several feet and
changed some roof lines,
city zoning administrator
Mike Stacey said.
The changes were recommended for approval.

Chalet Vet parking

Chalet Veterinary Clinic sought a parking lot
expansion and was granted the changes pending
staff review. The expansion will add three new
parking stalls.

Zoning code change

The citys central business and planned business
zoning areas will now
allow artisan studios to
be a permitted use. The
citys downtown area has
several of these types of
businesses, Mayor Donna
Olson said, and the zoning
code change will reflect
that fact that such businesses are permitted in the
citys codes.
The Common Council
must approve the recommended changes.

Letters to the editor

Thanks for support and the kind words

Many people since last weeks
issue have written me notes or
spoke tome in person congratulating me on retiring due to the article
you had in thepaper.
So I am moved to say, Thank
you to you and all others who
make thispublication happen.The
people and businesses that pay for
advertisement, the coverage you
give to many local news items and
the special efforts to share with
thousands, the almost endless list of
things that make Stoughton special.
If you are reading this, do not
recycle this paper or dispose of it
in any other way that would prevent someone else from reading it.
Please give this copy to someone
who does not subscribe, as most of
the students I have in classes do not
see it at home.
Find a way to get it in the hands
of someone. The value of a local
paper is very important for many
reasons, so we shouldall cherish
the weekly publication.
The support to the students, FFA
members, Agriculture, Food, and
NaturalResources Department, the

FFA Alumni from the many individuals, businesses,organizations,

and public services people has been
nothing short of awesome.Thank
you to all of you in small ways and
large who have made a positivedifference in the lives of young people
with the sole purpose of helping
themgo onto success.
Finally, give the new instructor,
Ms. Ross, ayoung lady who just
graduated from UW-River Falls
your knowledge, experience,skills,
patience, understanding and support equal to that shown to me and
myfamily.
Thank you, Stoughton, for the
many blessing bestowed upon us in
moreways than I can ever describe.
My very sincere and heartfelt thank
you. My efforts and work were
always based on attempting to
make things better, or asWisconsins motto Forward!

Developer must honor KPW agreement

The city entered a legally binding agreement with the developer of
KPW. The taxpayers of the city have
said they dont like this agreement,
and the city should not have been
approved the agreement.
Under the agreement, the developer must have four signed contracts to
sell lots and build building on those
lots by the end of this month. If the
developer fails provide these contracts, or fails any other part of the
developers agreement, the agreement
is null and void.
At which point, the city should
walk away from the agreement. As
many have said, if Wal-Mart wants
this store, then they should pay for
it. $5 million is chump change to the

Walton family representing 0.003

percent of the family wealth.
With this in mind, it makes no
sense for the city to any more than
the bare minimum to meet its obligations, until the developer proves that
he can meet his obligations. In addition, the city has every right to see
those contracts and make sure they
are in complete compliance with the
developers agreement.
Due to past issues with a lack of
transparency on this project, everything must be open, transparent, and
above board. Any thing less is an
abdication of the citys responsibility
to its citizens.

Stoughton couple
honored for foster care
Dan and Brenda Schultz
receive 2015 Governors
Foster Care Award
Stoughtons Dan and Brenda
Schultz were recognized last week
by Wisconsin First Lady Tonette
Walker and Department of Children and Families (DCF) secretary
Eloise Anderson In recognition
of Foster Care Month. They were
one of 13 other groups of parents
honored at a ceremony at the State
Capitol.
A press release from the DCF
cited the Schultzs incredible commitment to the children of Dane County who have

needed a temporary, safe place to

call home. The couple has served
as foster parents since 2003, with
a goal of reunifying children with
their parents or relatives.
Brenda and Dan invite parents
into their lives and provide moral
support as they work to regain
custody of their children (and)
will often provide respite care for
families after the children return
home, in order to ensure a successful reunification, read the press
release.
According to the DCF, there are
around 7,000 children living in
out-of-home care. For more information, visit dcf.wisconsin.gov/

Herbicide: Group calls spray a public safety issue

Continued from page 1
at Gazebo Rotary Park less than
a week before the start of the
Gazebo Musikk Series.
In an email shared with the
Courier Hub, Lawrence wrote, I
took a look at the turf, it is rather
impressive. Other than a small
patch near the garage in need of
seeding, what warrants herbicide
application? I do not understand
why you cannot wait to treat.
This is a public safety issue.
Lawrence shared the email
with District 2 Ald. Michael
Engelberger, who contacted
Manthe and supported Lawrences complaint.
Engelberger, chair of the Public Safety committee, told Manthe and Mayor Donna Olson in a
May 31 email dated he intended
to put the issue on the committees next meeting agenda for
discussion. That email chain
ended up including Downie and
Gazebo Musikk Series organizer Tricia Suess, and on June
2, Manthe agreed to delay treatment until September.

Series of emails
Engelbergers original email
question referred to health and
safety risks and said he hoped it
could be worked out quickly.
The following day, Manthe
explained the citys turf management plan, including herbicide
applications and weed assessments. In the email, Manthe did
not address the matter of the
Gazebo Park herbicide application, but wrote that we went
with the recommendation of Naturally Stoughton to use Tri-Power on city properties because
the product does not contain the
chemical 2-4 D.
Manthe said weed assessments are used to identify which
parks receive what type of turf
improvement treatment herbicide, fertilizer, or silt-seeding.
Using information obtained

through the assessments, city

staff develop a plan to address
areas in need of attention and
then post on the city web page
which parks will be treated and
when.
The city also places signs at
treated areas to alert the public that an herbicide has been
applied and advising how long
the area should be avoided.
Manthe wrote to Engelberger,
I believe that once you review
this information, it wont be necessary to take this issue to any
committees for further discussion as the city staff has been
following the Turf management
Plan.
On June 2, Downie entered
the email chain to address some
misperceptions in Manthes
response to Engelberger.
Naturally Stoughton never
recommended any herbicide
except for perhaps organic ones
such as an iron formulation or
vinegar, Downie wrote. We
didnt have any choice as to
whether you decided to use herbicides or what kind. All herbicides are toxic, and I dont agree
that Tri-Power is any less toxic
that other commonly used formulations.
Downie said she and other
members of Sustainable Stoughton, which merged with Naturally Stoughton last year, are
glad the city adopted a turf management policy but none of
Naturally Stoughtons concerns
regarding the turf policy were
addressed in the final version of
the policy.
We attended committee and
council meetings to express our
concerns, and that was the extent
to which we had any input,
Downie wrote.
She noted that the citys policy
requires that records be kept on
all weed assessments, and the
threshold of tolerance for weeds
in class A parks such as Rotary
Park is 15-30 percent weeds.

Decision to delay
Suess then joined in, thanking
Manthe for the great job with
Rotary Park so far, but also asking him to avoid spraying any
herbicides on this park this year,
or save those types of treatments
for after Labor Day when the
concert series is over.
The final email exchange on
June 2 came from Manthe. In an
email to Engelberger, he wrote
the city would treat this park
after the summer concert series
has finished for the season.
On Tuesday, Engelberger said
he plans to discuss herbicide use
in parks at his committees next
meeting.
My concern is the safety
aspect of it, he told the Courier
Hub.
Engelberger also said there are
questions of whether the citys
turf management policy is being
followed, including record-keeping.
Were going to keep looking
into it, he said.
Manthe did not return a phone
call seeking comment before the
Courier Hubs Tuesday deadline.

She asked to see documentation of how the city determined

Rotary Park requires an herbicide
application this year, according
to the policy standards.
If you had met with (UWMadison turf grass expert) Doug
Soldat to discuss Rotary Park, I
am surprised that he wouldve
recommended a treatment based
on the quality of the turf this
year, Downie wrote. I am concerned for all the small children
that will be attending concerts
with their parents, and the fact
that people will be sitting on the
ground and eating.
She wrote that she would not
attend any concerts at Rotary
Park if its sprayed this year,
and others may decide to stay
away, as well.

in the EMS building, until
2006 when volunteers and
the Friends of the Stoughton Area Youth Center
raised nearly $500,000 to
renovate the current space.
The Main Street location
opened in 2010.
The center is run by fulltime director Greg Hoyte
and many volunteers who
o f f e r h o m e w o r k t u t o ring and serve as positive
role models. The City of
Stoughton Parks and Recreation department oversees
the operation of the center,
but the centers budget is
largely covered by donations from various foundations and fundraising
events.

Avoiding the Near Occasion of Sin

The Catholic prayer, the Act of
Contrition, ends with a firm resolution
to sin no more, and to avoid the near
occasion of sin. This is good counsel for
those of us with less than perfect willpower to resist doing wrong, and it harmonizes with the Lords Prayer, which asks God
to Lead us not into temptation. Strictly
speaking, God does not tempt us, but our
daily circumstances certainly do, and we
would do well to avoid those circumstances that tempt us to sin. If we know that
a certain person will try our patience and
tempt us to say or do something unkind,
then perhaps we should avoid that person,
or at least try to interact with him or her
when our resolve is strong. We all know
that certain things can be an occasion of
sin, a situation that makes sinning much
more likely, and part of leading a holy life
is to avoid those circumstances, at least
until our will has become more resolutely
good. We should be aware also that our
resolve can be weakened by a long hard
day, so be especially cautious when you
are tired.
Christopher Simon
When tempted, no one should say,
God is tempting me. For God cannot
be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt
anyone; but each person is tempted when
they are dragged away by their own evil
desire and enticed.

Back in state final

Stoughton knocks
off Oregon 20-2 in
state semifinals
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

Getting back to the Wisconsin Lacrosse Federation

Division 2 state final was
the motivating factor for the
Stoughton High School boys
lacrosse team all season.
And after a 20-2 win over
Oregon in the state semifinals
Monday, the Vikings have a
chance to get some revenge
on Catholic Memorial, the
team that defeated Stoughton
in the final last season.
That is what we have been
preparing for all season, and
I think the guys are ready for
it, head coach Josh Wollin
said. They are hungry.
The Vikings worked on a
few aspects since that loss,
including transition defense
and creating scoring opportunities.
This years defense has
allowed 3.8 goals per game, a
club record.
Last year, we struggled
with our transition game on
the defensive side. This year,
our defense has been one of
the best, Wollin said. On
offense, we were a run-andgun offense. This year, we
have slowed hings down to
get the right look.
The state final is at 2 p.m.
Saturday at Beloit College.

Seniors cap high school careers at state

Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

For seniors Alexus Crockett,

Allie Niemeyer, Megan Reese,
Nikki Staffen, Alexa Deustch and
Hannah Posick, this past weekends state track and field meet
capped successful high school
careers.
Despite no one medaling or
making it past the prelims, the
girls that helped Stoughton claim
its fifth straight Badger South
Conference title and a sectional
runner-up finish were able to
be together one last time on the
track at Veterans Memorial Stadium at the University of Wisconsin- Lacrosse.
It says a lot about their determination to succeed. Many of
them ran their best times of the
year, head coach Eric Benedict
said. It shows that four years of
hard work allows you to achieve
something great. I think they all
performed well. It is a whole
new stage up there in lacrosse,
performing in front of a couple

thousande people.
And those memories are ones
that will last a lifetime, head
coach Eric Benedict said.
They will always remeber
going up there, the ride up, walking around and taking in the
meet, Benedict said. It is a very
memorable experience for every
athlete.
Niemeyer and Deutsch were
two seniors that experienced state
for the first time, and the two
made it count.
Niemeyer took 11th in the discus on Friday with a throw of 115
feet, 1 inch. She just missed making the finals out of her section.
Deutsch ran personal best times
in both the 100 hurdles (15.91
seconds, 19th) and 300 hurdles
(47.55, 19th), which Benedict
said is very sepcial.
Posick didnt reach her PR, but
she still topped 10-6 in the pole
vault to finish 15th. Reese also
took 15th, leaping 16-9 1/2 in the
long jump.

Prahl named
new head
coach
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Dan Prahl has spent the

majority of his life growing up
around the
gridiron.
Y o u
could definitely say
I grew up
around the
football
field, Prahl
said. I
r e m e m b e r Prahl
my dad taking me to practice and playing
with the tackling dummies
and building forts with my
brothers.
This fall the 2007 Oregon
High School graduate will
get the opportunity to fulfill
his dream as a coach at a rival
school.
Prahl, who served as the
Vikings freshman defensive
coordinator last season was
named as the new varsity football coach at Stoughton High
School last Friday, taking over
for Jason Thiry who accepted
an administrative job as Dean
of Students at Prairie du Chien
High School last month.
Ive always wanted to be a
head coach and Im ready for
this, Prahl said.
A 2013 UW-Whitewater
graduate with a degree in
elementary education with a
minor in mathematics, Prahl
teaches seventh grade math at
River Bluff Middle School.
After playing on the UWWhitewater practice squad
his freshman season and then
grey-shirting, Prahl spent the
next four years as an assistant under former head coach
Lance Leipold, who directed
the Warhawks to three national titles over that span.
Prahl then served as a student teacher at Waunakee
Middle School, spending a
year coaching football on the
staff of Wisconsin Football
Coaches Association Hall of
Fame coach Pat Rice, who got
his start under Prahls father.
Ive had great mentors
throughout this whole experience and I think its going
to be tremendously helpful,
Prahl said. You see people
run programs and you take
things that you like and what
you dont like and you mold
them into what you see as
your vision.
Simply put, Prahl said the
envision for him boils down
to the underlying lifelong lessons football can provide.
I want the kids to have a
positive experience and to
take away lessons about teamwork and competition that can
get them through the rest of
their lives, he said.
Prahl grew up in Oregon,
where he dad, Bob, was a
teacher and head football
coach for 27 years. His mom

Vikes upset Elkhorn,

fall in regional final
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

It hasnt been the greatest season for the Stoughton

High School girls soccer
team, dealing with injuries and being young, but
the Vikings showed what
they are capable of in a 1-0
WIAA Division 2 regional
semifinal win Thursday.
We are capable of a lot
being young, so it is just a
matter of believing we can
do it, head coach Chelsea
Kittleson said.
Stoughton came into
third-seeded Elkhorn with
an underdog mindset,
and with the team finally
healthy, freshman Cassidy
Bach buried the only goal
in the 66th minute from
freshman Jackie Smith.
Junior Hannah Wood did
the rest in the net, collecting 14 saves and keeping
the shutout.
(Wood) is very composed back there, making
decisions to come out or to
stay. She makes those decision pretty fast, Kittleson

said. Forwards or strikers

are not always ready for
that.
And despite the season
ending two days later in a
3-0 loss at second-seeded
Waterford in the regional
final, the win can start a
building block for the resurgence of the program.
We look at our record
in terms of conference and
non-conference, and we
dont look real good on
paper. That is deflating,
but to get that regional win
shows we can do it, Kittleson said. We are definitely
in games. It is just a matter
of playing to the end. And
sometimes when we come
up against a team that is
better than us, we play a lot
better.
Wood finished with 10
saves in Saturdays loss to
Waterford, ending the season.
There was some really
close calls, but (Wood)
managed to clean them up,
Kittleson said.
Stoughton finishes the
season 4-14-1 overall.

Eight-run fourth ends

Stoughtons season
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

Everything was going

smoothly for the Stoughton High School baseball
team Thursday in a WIAA
Division 1 regional final at
Janesville Craig.
The Vikings led 2-0
going into the bottom of
the fourth, but that is when
everything changed. Topseeded Craig (ranked No.
2 in the state) scored eight
runs in the inning, and
Stoughton never recovered
in a 9-2 loss to end the season.
Freshman pitcher Dylan
Nowicki had four walks
through three innings but
didnt allow a hit until
the fourth. Unfortunately,
those hits started Craigs
big inning.
Nyborg singled and

Marro doubled before

Nowicki walked Christianson to load the bases.
Nowicki followed with
walks to Blomgren and
Cox to make it 2-2.
Senior Cade Bunnell
came in to pitch, and he
walked Spry before allowing a two-run single to
Blomgren. Bunnell then
walked Brandt before
allowing a sacrifice fly to
Smithback.
Nyborg and Marro later
doubled to score two more
runs and make it 8-2 Craig.
Blomgren singled home
the ninth Cougar run in the
fifth.
Bunnell (2-for-3, two
doubles) put Stoughton on
the board in the first inning
with a double that scored
freshman Brady Schipper.
Senior Alec Showers doubled home Bunnell in the

Senior John McCune showed his

fellow teammates the ropes Saturday at the Division 1 state track and
field meet at Veterans Memorial
Stadium at the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse.
McCune joined juniors Adam
Krumholz and Jakob Benson and
sophomore Nathan Moll on the
4x400 relay senior Giles France
and sophomore Jacob Tobie were
alternates and junior Buck
Krueger, who qualified in the discus.
For much of the time at state,
it was McCune taking on a bigbrother role, whether it was joking around, motivating his teammates or helping them know when
to warm-up or how to stay hydrated.
It was definitely the most

tight-knit group that we have taken. It was pretty comical to see the
boys everywhere they went in the
meet, they were together, head
coach Craig Martens said. It was
fun to see the pack of the 4x400 acting like brothers.
And that loss of leadership is
something Martens said will be
hard to replace in the future.
His leadership around the meet
and his squad is irreplacebale,
Martens said. It will be tough
to find a guy that cares that much
about the relays.
The 4x400 relay itself finished
19th in the prelims in 3 minutes,
25.9 seconds. Despite not beating
thier sectional time, Martens said
he was very happy with their performance, especially since the relay
was only hitting 3:30 three weeks
ago.
If you would have told me three

weeks ago that we would run a 3:25

at state, I would have been estactic, Martens said. We made a mistake early and got boxed in. It was
a good opportunity for them to see
good compeititon, especially with
two being juniors and one being a
sophomore. It is a good experience
for next year.
Krueger also didnt light up the
scoreboard in the discus. He took
24th with a throw of 129 feet, 1
inch. Bay Port junior Cole Van
Lanen won with a throw of 183-08.
But like the 4x400 guys coming
back, he now has the experience
needed to make a push again next
season.
Getting that opportunity, the athletes have no idea of what state is
like, Martens said. Next year, that
mentality is to go there to do well
instead of just being happy to be
there.

state qualifier rolled
her ankle in warmups of
the shot put, affecting
her performance. But she
still ended up 18th with a
heave of 36 1/4.
She had hopes, but
unfortunatley with that
injury it didnt quite happen, Benedict said.
Staffen was 22nd in the
800 in 2:27.04, and she
also ran with the 4x400
and 4x800 relays.

The 4x400 team (junior

The 4x800 team (sophomore Lydia Schultz,
Megan Reese, Staffen
and Weum) finished 19th
overall in 9:52.26.

All of our captains were
seniors this year. Looking
ahead to the future, I am
looking to the junior class
and the sophomore class to
step up and fill some shoes
and become leaders for us
as well, Benedict said.
Sophomore Mya Lonnebotn rounded out the
Stoughton athletes in the
triple jump and finished
17th with a leap of 35-6
1/2.
Weum and Gryttenholm
have been at state the past
two seasons, so they will
be counted on to help lead
Stoughton in the future.
Sophomore Gigi Zaemisch and freshman Emily
Reese were alternates in
the relays at state. Schultz

is also back with state

experience next season.
I look forward to Maren, Mya and Aly leading
our team next year. We
need them, Benedict said.
I think their experience
at big meets have paid off.
They want to get back. It is
a huge goal for them now.
They will be convincing
their teammates to work
hard everyday so that can
happen.
Whitefish Bay won the
Division 1 team title with
48 points, while Middleton
took second with 39. Kenosha Bradford and Monona
Grove tied for third with 36
points.
Beloit Memorial, which
took first at sectionals, finished 12th with 21 points.

Vikings get three named first team All-Badger South Conference

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Stoughton Sarah Seaton

was one of three Vikings
named to the Badger
South All-Conference
first team last week.
Seaton, who went 7-9
in the circle in 103.33
innings with a 4.61 ERA,
was also named to the
Senior All-Star game. She
struck out 82 and walked
69, but was equally as
dangerous at the plate.
Seaton hit .508 on the
season with 10 doubles
and 14 RBIs. Her onbase percentage was .616,
while he finished second
on the team with a .662
slugging average.
Sarah pitched most of

our games this season and

was an offensive powerhouse that teams consistently pitched around,
Vikings head coach Kristin Siget said.
Junior Holly Brickson
joined Seaton on the first
team as shortstop/pitcher.
Brickson tied for the team
lead with 14 stolen bases
as the teams lead-off hitter. She doubled six time
and tripled once. Brickson also pitched in eight
games, going 5-3 on the
year with a 1.16 ERA.
She struck out more than
three times the number of
batters she walked (7624).
Holly was a phenomenal shortstop and lead-off
batter, Siget said. She

was extremely smart on

the bases and will steal
bases at any time.
She was voted team
MVP.
The teams starting
catcher, sophomore Morgan Neuenfeld was also
named a first team after
leading the team in most
offensive categories.
Morgans .536 batting
average and .797 slugging
percentage are phenomenal numbers, Siget said.
She also led the team
in RBIs and tied for stolen bases. She has great
speed and power, which
makes her a tremendous
threat at the plate.
Junior outfielder/
infielder Samantha Tepp
and second baseman Liz

Auby both earned second-team nods.

Sammy gave us consistency and quickness
at first base and great
leadership on and off the
field, Siget said. She
always has a positive attitude and works extremely
hard.
Liz had a great year
offensively (third in
RBIs) for us.

and Tepp, and sophomore

fourth for the other run.
Junior Zach Kirby also doubled.
Nowicki took the loss. He allowed five
earned runs on two hits in three innings,
walking seven and striking out one. Bunnell allowed four earned runs on six hits
in three innings, walking two and striking
out four.
Marro won for the Cougars. He
allowed two earned runs on three hits in

five innings, walking two and striking

out seven.
Seniors Alex Zacharias, Brady Wanninger, Jacob Johnson, Tim Johnson, Sam
Ripp, Ty Krueger, Bunnell and Showers

While there are big holes to fill next
season, there will be 11 players with varsity experience returning to next years
squad, including Nowicki who is expected to be either No. 1 or No. 2 in the rotation in 2016.

Lexie Fitzsimmons were

both named honorable
mentions.
Madi played a solid
third base for us ad was
second on the team in
RBIs (19), Siget said.
Shes great leader.
Lexie has great speed
in the outfield and was
solid at shortstop when
Holly was pitching. She
was our No. 2 batter for
her ability to move base
runners.

30 years.
My parents had a big impact
on me as educators, said Prahl
who saw his father and former
OHS head coach inducted into the
WFCA Hall of Fame in March.
It was special to see my dad go
into the Hall of Fame this spring.
He earned everything he got and
he taught me everything I know
about the game.
Prahl said his first goal is to
continue moving Stoughton in a
positive direction after the team
ended a 16-year playoff drought
last fall.
Coach Thiry left a solid foundation last year, leading the team
into the playoffs, Prahl said. The
goal now is to continue to build
off that success.
Before Thiry accepted his new
position, Prahl was promoted to
Stoughtons varsity defensive
coordinator in December.
Shortly after Thiry announced
his leaving, Prahl expressed his
interest to Stoughton athletic
director Mel Dow.
He is respected for his knowledge of football and his understanding off of running a program
by being the son of a hall of fame
coach, Dow said.
Prahl recently bought a house in
Stoughton with his fianc Marta,
and they will be getting married in
June.
Dan was the one who demonstrated throughout the process
that he wanted the position the
most, Stoughton athletic director Mel Dow said. This included
the work that he did since last
season, the communication with
the athletes, the networking with
our staff, establishing relationships with coaches who can provide assistance at our level and
beyond.
As a long-time Oregon resident
with family that still lives there,
Prahl said he can wait for the
Vikings big rivalry game against
the Panthers this fall.
Its going to be great. I cant
wait to see coach (Dan) Kissling,
he was my linebacker coach in
high school and someone I have a
lot of respect for. Hes the reason
I wore #44 when I played. That
game will be a lot of fun.

Wal-Mart asks to deal with city

Company seeks
60-day extension for
guarantee of value

The proposal

Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

The Common Councils

discussion last Tuesday about
the Kettle Park West development agreement was trumped
by a surprise proposal from
Wal-Mart, the anchor tenant
of the proposed commercial
center.
City attorney Matt Dregne
told alders attending a Committee of the Whole meeting
Tuesday, June 2, that an attorney for the giant retailer had
contacted him on June 1 with
a request to enter a contract
directly with the city. The proposed deal would guarantee
completion of public infrastructure improvements leading to the west-side development in the event of the developer defaulting on the project.
Without the deal, the company told the Hub, Forward
Development Group will not
have the required letters of
credit to start construction.
In return for dealing with
the company directly, WalMart attorney Deborah Tomczyk told Dregne the company
needs 60 days past the existing June 30 deadline in the
KPW development agreement
to work out the details and
enter a contract with the city.
Without the extra time,
Dregne reported, Tomczyk
said the project likely wont

Amend SIP, obtain alcohol beverage permit
Open the store before 2018
happen.
The question was on the
councils meeting agenda for
Tuesday, June 9, and could be
discussed in closed session.
Dregne reported that Tomczyk told him Wal-Mart
also needs the extra time to
obtain approval of an alcohol beverage license from
the city, as well as make a
minor amendment to its
already approved Specific
Implementation Plan, which
established the construction
details of the companys proposed 153,000-square-foot
Supercenter. The Supercenter
would replace the citys existing 40,000-square-foot store.

Wal-Mart proposal
Tomczyks proposal,
Dregne said, would also
require the city to complete
the public infrastructure
improvements leading to the
development, if the developer should default, or allow
Wal-Mart to complete those
improvements using money
the city has borrowed for the
project.
In return for the contract

and deadline extension, WalMart would guarantee the city

it will build and open the new
store no later than Dec. 31,
2017 and have an assessed
value for tax purposes of no
less than $12 million, Dregne
said in a memo to the council.
He added that Tomczyk
told him Kettle Park West
hinges on the extension.
If the city is unwilling to
provide the additional time
needed to complete these
tasks, it is unlikely the project
would be able to proceed, he
reported.
A Wal-Mart spokesperson,
speaking on background, told
the Courier Hub on Tuesday
that the developers lender,
McFarland State Bank, is not
going to provide the developer with its required letters of
credit unless Wal-Mart makes
additional commitments to
the project specifically,
guaranteeing a minimum of
$12 million of assessed value
in the property by Dec. 31,
2017, and committing to open
the new store in 2017.
The spokesperson said
Wal-Mart is seeking 60 days

Stoughton Citywide
Garage Sales
Saturday June 27th

past the June 30 deadline in

the development agreement
in order to get executive level
approval for the commitments.
Wal-Mart is also considering dropping its requirement
of Forward Development
Group for a $3 million letter
of credit.
In order for the developer
to get its letters of credit for
the city and be able to move
forward with the project, the
lender is requiring the developer to get additional commitments from Walmart that go
above and beyond what the
company would do in a normal development, the spokesperson said.
Forward Development
Group, the company established to assemble the properties and build KPW, is obligated to create approximately
$18 million in new property value under the existing development agreement.
Development manager Dennis Steinkraus said Tuesday
that Wal-Marts proposal to
enter a contract with the city
would not affect the developers guarantee.
FDG has a June 30 deadline
to sell at least four of seven
lots in the 35-acre commercial center. Steinkraus told
the Courier Hub last month
he has purchase commitments
from buyers for three of the
lots Wal-Mart, McFarland
State Band and Kwik Trip
and is working on selling a
fourth lot.
None of the purchase agreements has been delivered to
the city, but deeds showing
transfer of ownership must
be filed with the Register
of Deeds by June 30 for the
development agreement to
remain valid.
In April, the developer had
asked the city to approve a
third version of the development agreement after FDG

had difficulty obtaining letters

of credit to guarantee the city
would be repaid for borrowing about $4.6 million to fund
public infrastructure improvements.
But the Common Council rejected the developers
request.
Ald. Eric Hohol (D-4)
said then he had supported
the project from the start but
would not approve another
version of the development
agreement. He said voters in
his district had indicated in an
April 7 referendum they did
not support using tax-increment financing for the development.
Hohol told FDG during
that discussion it would have
to execute the agreement the
council approved in November 2014 if it hoped to build
KPW. He didnt return phone
calls before the Hubs Tuesday afternoon deadline.
Last month, Steinkraus said
he had obtained the credit
required under the development agreement and was
optimistic the project would
proceed as planned. But when
bids for the infrastructure
work came in higher than
expected, that cast doubt on
making the deadline. FDG
is rebidding aspects of the
project in hopes of receiving
lower bids.

Council deadlock
It remains unclear whether
Hohol or any of the other five
alders whove voted in favor
of KPW will agree to WalMarts request for a separate
contract and the 60-day deadline extension.
The council has been evenly divided over KPW six
for and six against since last
October, and the project has
only been able to continue
due to Mayor Donna Olsons
tie-breaking votes.
On Monday, Olson told the

Courier Hub that Wal-Marts

proposal to guarantee a completion date and value for its
new store is exactly what
alderpersons have been asking for.
In that regard, I believe
this is a good thing, she said.
If we can get an agreement
that within two years we will
have a $12 million building
that will help pay off the TIF
increment, thats kind of what
the councils been asking for.
Last Friday, Ald. Greg Jenson (D-3), a KPW backer,
told the Hub he was leaning
in favor of granting the extension.
I hate to see this thing go
away because of 60 days, he
said. The city and the developer and everyone else have
put a lot of time into this.
Tuesdays Committee of
the Whole meeting had been
scheduled to discuss the
development agreement in
detail. Ald. Tom Selsor (D-4)
had suggested creating an ad
hoc committee to go over the
agreement, but the council
chose instead to hold a Committee of the Whole meeting.
One of Selsors questions
was whether there were specific completion dates for the
buildings in KPW.
At the COW meeting, Selsor said he didnt think the
council would agree to WalMarts proposal.
Its very likely that the
council will reject it, he said.
Jenson said Friday he
wasnt sure how the council
would respond.
Im just very, very disappointed in how this has
been handled and with the
veiled threat that is coming
from Wal-Mart, Jenson said.
Thats just very irritating.
I have no idea how this is
going to come out, he added.

Obituary
Ruth N. Kvalheim, 91,
of Stoughton, passed away,
Thursday, June 4, 2015,
at her home in Stoughton
surrounded by her family.
She was born in South Milwaukee on April 3,1924, to
George and Ruth (Blackmun) Petzold.
Ruth graduated from Milwaukee State Teachers College and began her 52-year
career in 1946 as Music
Supervisor for Stoughton
Public Schools. Teaching all grades from K-12,
she was especially proud
of her students who performed musicals and operettas including: HMS Pinafore, The Birds Christmas
Carol and Tom Sawyer to
name a few. Ruth brought
music to the community by
creating experiences and
opportunities for her choral students. Her groups
would perform at least four
times a school year including a Christmas Program.
She was instrumental in
the expansion of the music
program by instituting
new programs including:
Mass Chorus, Opera for the
Young and Worlds Largest Concert. Ruth touched

Ruth N. Kvalheim

In her younger years

the lives of thousands of

people. Her skills as a
musician were not limited
to vocal. She played piano,
timpani and cello. Ruth
coached and accompanied
thousands of students at
Solo and Ensemble Contest. Her professionalism,
compassion for students
and ability to adapt with
the changing educational
environment commanded
the respect of both her coworkers and students. She
loved to tell her students
that she had their parents
or grandparents in school.
There was never a time
Ruth did not love teaching
and fit the adage Once a
teacher, always a teacher.

She challenged students to

perform at a high level and
embrace the love of music.
She continued to volunteer
at the schools following her
retirement.
Mom was the best person
we know, she had a keen
set of values and expected
no less of her children,
grandchildren and students.
Her love of people was
apparent and her relationships spanned generations
touching each and every
one, leaving a part of her
with them.
Ruth loved sharing her
love of music and had many
areas of interest including
embroidery, travel, camping, movies, bird watching

tures, and equipment includes shelving/

end panels, furniture and signage.

Checking your boat for

weeds is a good way to
slow the spread of aquatic
invasive species (AIS).
But draining water from
your boat can help stop
some of Wisconsins worst
invaders. Species like zebra
mussel larvae or spiny
water fleas too small to
readily see can survive to
the next lake when water is
left in your livewell, buckets, bilge, motor or equipment.
Thats why AIS staff
in Dane County will be
reminding anglers and boaters to drain their gear this
summer before hitting the
road. Still, officials know
the importance of keeping
fish fresh while traveling
on the road. One common
way is to use livewells, but
that water can be trouble if
transported between lakes.
To help anglers out, Dane
County AIS Staff will be
handing out ice packs at
boat landings on June 12-14
as part of a statewide effort
to make sure anglers know
the rules on fish and water
transport.
Ice is a legal and better way to get those fish
home, Dane County
water resources planner
Pete Jopke said in a news
release. It stops any bacterial growth, and then your
catch isnt ingesting the fish
toxins that concentrate in
fouled, low-oxygen water.
Drying your boat for five
days can help kill any AIS
in residual water, but a simple disinfection process that
the Department of Natural
Resources uses can do the
job for those who plan to
change lakes sooner. Mix
up 2.5 tablespoons bleach
per one gallon of water,
spray it on, and keep your
boat and livewell wet with
that for 10 minutes.
