A new school year always bring

changes, but for a pair of Stoughton
families, this year has brought new
children as well, in the form of
exchange students.
Jeff and Brenda Kitsembel and
Darlene and Greg Holte have opened
their homes to Marisa Reyer and Niki
Herzog, exchange students from Germany who will be staying at their
homes throughout the school year.
The Kitsembels welcomed Marisa
Reyer to their home Aug. 22. Jeff
Kitsembel said they have been host
families previously for exchange programs, but on a shorter term than an
entire school year, so this is a new
experience for them.
He said its particularly exciting for
his daughter Alyssa, who is a junior at
Stoughton High School, like Marisa.
Kitsembel said the family thought the
two would make a good fit.
We had thought we would like to
do it, and somebody we know was
already hosting, he said.

family dynamic.

The family exchanged emails regularly with Marisa before she came
over.
By the time she got here, we had
gotten to know her a bit, Kitsembel
said.
Kitsembel said Marisa has already
gotten a taste for the local culture.
Weve done a corn maze and Old
World Wisconsin and toured the capitol building as a family so far, he
said.
Communication has not been a
problem at all.
Her English is very good, Kitsembel said. She has an English
class, and thats her most challenging class, so weve been helping her.
She seems to be doing fairly well. She
played tennis and got into some group
activities.
Its been a real nice experience to
have Marisa here.
Marisa, 16, is in the U.S. for the
third time, having previously visited Seattle during her older sisters
exchange program 10 years ago, and
also visited New York as a tourist
with her family a few years ago. She
also said communicating has gone
fairly well so far.

The Stoughton Police Department graduated the inaugural class of its Citizens Academy on Thursday, Nov. 5. The 10-week class taught participants, composed largely of local elected officials, about topics
ranging from police hiring procedures to advanced driving maneuvers.

Citizens: Police Department to open application for the next academy in June
Continued from page 1
The curriculum for the
10-week course ranged
from the academic such
as constitutional law and
local ordinances, to the
experiential, such as arrest
tactics and firearm training.
During the firearm lesson, members of the group
volunteered to have Tasers
used on them. Many police
academies require officers

to experience the effects

of the tools they propose
to use, such as tasers or
pepper spray. In all, four
people signed waivers to
allow members of the class
to be hit by the weapon during class. A video of one
such tasing was posted to
the departments Facebook
page.
My wife informed me
that it didnt sound like a
thing an intelligent person

would do, laughed Freye,

whose wife and two sons
attended the graduation. I
watched other people do it
and it didnt look all that
fun, but they survived it.
Chief Greg Leck said
the department plans to do
another citizens academy
next year. Those wishing to
be a part of it should look
for the application beginning next June.

MillFab rezone hearing comes without protest

Unified Newspaper Group

A controversial rezoning
request for a six-acre property
along the Yahara River heard
no adverse public commentary
prior to being unanimously
recommended for approval
at the Nov. 5 meeting of the
Planning Commission.
A rezoning, from industrial
to mixed-use residential, had
already been recommended by
the commission, but the Common Council voted to send it
back to planning after John
Stark, the court-appointed

receiver for the Holly MillFab

Holding Company during liquidation proceedings, argued
that public hearing laws were
not followed. At that council meeting, he referred to the
rezone as an unlawful taking
of value, as the rezone would
drop the sale value of the property by approximately $1 million.
The MillFab property operated as a lumber processing
company until last year, when
it closed its doors. Since that
time, the Stoughton Redevelopment Authority (RDA)
has expressed an interest in

Wisconsin third in graduation rate

Wisconsins 2014 public school graduation rate
of 88.6 percent is among
the highest in the nation,
according to preliminary
statistics from the U.S.
Department of Education.
Wisconsin ranked third
nationwide; tied with New
Jersey. Iowa was first
with a graduation rate of
90.5 percent, followed by
Nebraska at 89.7 percent.

The preliminary data also

show that 36 states, including Wisconsin, saw increases in their overall four-year
graduation rates, while
six states had declines and
another eight states had
no change since 2012-13.
Wisconsins 2014 graduation rate was six-tenths of a
point higher than the prior
year.

purchasing the property.

The property was appraised
at $1.4 million a few years ago
when MillFab was still operating. A reappraisal after the
company filed for bankruptcy
and ceased operating came in
at about half that amount. The
city in April made an offer to
buy the six-acre property for
$700,000, but the offer was
rejected.
RDA chair Peter Sveum spoke at the meeting,

saying the group has been

here before, and reminded the
commission that the property
is part of the first or maybe
the second biggest redevelopment project theyre working
on.
Approval by the commission sends the recommendation before the council.
The council was expected to
go into closed session to discuss
the rezone at its meeting Tuesday, after the Hubs deadline.

Letters to the editor

Thank police officers, civil servants

I had the honor to take part in the
first Citizens Academy put on by the
Stoughton Police Department.
It was a 10-week course that met
on Thursday nights. Almost all of the
SPD officers had a part in our learning the ins-and-outs of how the SPD
operates. There was a lot to take in on
what they do for us and our community.
One of the biggest takeaways from
this is how tough their job really is.
A lot of us take them for granted on
what they do and what they have to
put up with. Imagine having a job that
basically all you deal with is unhappy
people or bad situations, or your life is

put on the line every time you get up.

You can laugh at that part because
this is just simple, peaceful Stoughton, but I have learned it is just a
matter of time. We all need to say
thanks to these people and all the civil
servants of our town. We may make
jokes and laugh, but if they were not
out there doing the great job they are
doing, we would be in trouble.
P.S. Four of us did get the taser as
part of our training, so if an officer
tells you that a taser is going to be
used, listen to him.
Joe Conant
Town of Rutland

Cooperation supports public safety

I was tasered by my local police
department recently. I committed no
crime which they would acknowledge,
nor did they tell me I was under arrest,
yet they tasered me.
Truth be told, I asked for it: I am participating in the Citizens Academy put
on the Stoughton Police Department.
They are doing this to help those of us
outside of law enforcement understand
what they do, and the decisions they
have to make in the blink of an eye.
As a part of the Academy, we were
able to fire weapons, drive squad cars
and many other things, as well as be
tased, all under supervised conditions.
I was asked to kneel on a mat, as
most injuries occur when the person
tasered falls. I had officers on either side
to cushion the fall. When all was ready,
the officer firing the taser repeated taser three times, then fired into my back.
The experience was over in one
to two seconds. Perhaps shocking
would be the best and most concise way
to explain it.
There were no lingering effects from
the experience and the only damage was two small holes in my T-shirt
where the probes entered.

So what is my takeaway from this

experience? I have gained a tremendous
amount of respect for what the men and
women of law enforcement do. It is a
difficult job requiring a lot of skills to
de-escalate tense situations before they
turn physical.
They must be aware of what is happening around them as they patrol, as
well as manage the information coming
into the squad car by computer, phone
and radio.
I have some advice: If you are contacted by the police, cooperate even if
you feel like they are being unfair. You
can sort that out later by making a complaint to the officers department.
The Madison Police Department put
out a brochure about how to behave
when contacted by police and it is
filled with wise advice to keep you
and the officers safe. I can speak from
some experience; you dont want
to be stupid and ask to be tased by
request or behavior.

Finding courage, a future

out on the open road

uring the last year of my

youngest daughters high
school career, I cherished
every second with her.
But I knew the days with kids
filling my house were coming to
an end, and I didnt know what
my future would look like after
devoting 25 years to my family.
It turned out to be a bit of
adventure.
That started last November,
when Annie and I were driving
toward Milwaukee and saw a
retro camper on the side of the
road. Within two weeks, I was
the owner. I love camping and
the outdoors, and I decided to
take Annie out to college in that
camper the following fall and
spend 5-6 weeks exploring the
country.
Annie was a great sport as we
left Stoughton this past September, with the two dogs, towing a
red and white camper trailer. She
was so eager to get to school,
and I wanted to slow down the
speed of time and make the trip
last forever. We had a blast,
stopping to see sites along the
way, hiking in national parks and
arriving in California to begin
Annies new life.
Instead of feeling sad, I was
thrilled Annie was ready to take
on the world. I was so grateful
that I have three happy, productive and well-adjusted kids.
Wasnt this the goal? To see
them step into their own lives,
independent and happy?
Then, after spending some
time with my oldest son in southern California, it was my turn for
a new journey. And I took my
time with it.
The trip was everything I had
hoped it would be. I had no preplanned campsite reservations,
so every day was a new discovery.
On the day I left Southern
California, I decided to go north
instead of south because it was
so hot. It was liberating to make
that decision as I drove onto the
highway. That was the start of a
freedom that few people get to
feel, and that I hadnt expected.
No plans, no agenda, and lots

college and decided to take the long, slow way home.

of time to explore, to think and

to plan out the next phase of my
life.
Most of the trip was heavenly, and I felt confident and
brave travelling the country on
my own. There was one day,
though, where I tested the limits
of my bravery.
A nice stranger suggested
I check out a sea-glass beach
about 20 miles away. Within
minutes, I was white-knuckling
it down a narrow road with continuous switchbacks, no shoulders and nowhere to turn around.
Logging trucks were tearing
down the road and passing me
as they squealed around the corners. I imagined the back tire of
my trailer skidding off the road
and taking me hurtling down the
mountainside.
After driving 20 miles in 2 1/2
hours, I made it to the incredible beach. I spent about three
hours hiking the beach and the

bluffs, but I probably would have

left sooner if it werent for the
knowledge that I had to go back
the same way I came.
I spent nights in some of the
most beautiful places in the
United States. Driving through
the redwoods and along the coast
of Oregon to Washington is
something I would recommend
to everyone.
I would wake up in the morning, relax over coffee, take a hike
with Gabby and either decide to
stay in the same place or keep on
travelling. I would travel for two
hours or 10, depending on what I
saw and where I wanted to stop.
Sometimes I had a destination
in mind, but often, I would stop
based on a recommendation of
someone at a gas station.
After one day of walking and
picking rocks on a remote beach,
I passed a fishing village where

Town budget hearings set for next week

Unified Newspaper Group

Four towns in the Stoughton area Dunn, Dunkirk,

Pleasant Springs and Rutland have annual budget hearings planned just
before Thanksgiving.
Residents have the
chance to weigh in on the
towns annual budgets for
2016 prior to approving the
tax levy for next year.
Clerks provided the Hub
with preliminary estimates
for their annual budgets for
this weeks story, but those
numbers could shift slightly
prior to the Nov. 16 and 17
public hearings.
Mill rates are given only
for the towns portion of a
residents property tax bill.
The annual property tax bill
in December will include
payments to the town, Dane
County, the state, school
district and MATC.
Heres a look at what the
four towns are expecting
for next year:

Dunn
Town of Dunn residents
would see a 1.5 percent
increase in the town portion
of their property tax bill if
the proposed 2016 budget is
approved next week.
That would mean about
$8 more than last year for
the owner of a $200,000
home on the town portion
of their property tax bill, a
total of $554.
The town is holding a
budget hearing at 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Nov. 17, at Town
Hall, 4156 County Road B.
Overall, the towns revenue is projected to increase
by $52,603, partly due to a
stormwater planning grant
of $32,700 and partly due
to increased tax revenue,
Dunn clerk-treasurer/business manager Cathy Hasslinger told the Hub.
The plan calls for spending $320,000 next year on
road reconstruction. That
includes mill and overlay
projects pulverizing the
surface pavement and laying down new asphalt
on Duncan Road, Geihler
Road, Lynch Circle, and a
mile of Town Road in Bayview Heights.
Other capital projects
include $127,000 to complete the Dyreson Bridge
restoration, $75,000 to
replace the town garage
and $56,000 in equipment
improvements.
Town officials anticipated completing the bridge
restoration in late October
or early November, but an
engineer determined the
bridge needed new bearings, which have to be custom built. Officials now
expect the project to be
completed in late January
or February.
Hasslinger said the highway garage is very old and
needs to be replaced. She

said the cost for materials
is $75,000, with town staff
doing all the labor and making the building worth twice
what the town is investing.
The budget also calls for
spending $40,000 to replace
the towns Case tractor
with a new one, $12,000 to
replace a Woods mower,
and $4,300 for a new electric pressure washer.
Other proposed spending includes a contribution
of $15,000 to the Oregon
Area Senior Center and, for
the first time, a payment
to Stoughton Area EMS of
$16,586 because the service
is no longer generating revenue and is relying on contributions from the municipalities it serves.
The 2016 budget proposes no new borrowing.
Designated fund balance
amounts will be used to
meet the budgeted costs for
capital projects, Hasslinger
said.
The proposed levy
increase is $36,000, from
$1.75 million to $1.78 million. If approved by voters, the towns portion of
the 2015 tax rate would be
$2.77 on $1,000 of property
value.

Dunkirk
Town of Dunkirk residents would see an 0.01
percent increase in the town
portion of their property tax
bill if the proposed budget
is approved. That would
mean $2 more for the owner of a $200,000 home.
The Town of Dunkirks
public hearing for the 2016
budget is set for 6:30 p.m.
Monday, Nov. 16, to be
immediately followed by
a town meeting to adopt
the 2016 levy and approve
highway expenditures. The
town board will meet following the town meeting to
adopt the 2016 budget.
The proposed mill rate
is $2.81 per $1,000 of
assessed property, a slight
increase from the 2015 rate
of $2.80.
Supervisor Ted Olson
said the budget is basically
the same as last years.
There just isnt any
more money, with levy limits, he said.

Corrections
In last weeks story on Don Heiliger, there were multiple erroneous references to North Korea that should
have read North Vietnam. Also, a reference to the State
Board of Affairs should have read State Board of Veterans
Affairs. The Hub regrets the errors.

Pleasant Springs
Town of Pleasant Springs
residents would see a 2.4
percent decrease in the
town portion of their property tax bill if the proposed
budget is approved. That
would mean $6 less on the

Town of Pleasant Springs
clerk/treasurer Cassandra
Suettinger said there are
no big changes in this
years budget, though the
town is dedicating more
funds to road work.
The town will be funding the additional road work
with a combination of borrowing and funds received
from ATC in 2011 for the
Rockdale-Middleton Transmission line, she said.
The town plans to expend
the ATC funds in the next
5-7 years to allow for more
funding for roads.

Porter said another

Lessons Learned: A Caregiver panel
Tuesday, November 17, 5:30 - 7:00 PM
Stoughton Area Senior Center
Family caregivers come and hear how to maintain your own health and perspective while caring for someone
you love. The demands of caregiving can be overwhelming and lonely. It can be difficult to find the time to
care for oneself when one is dedicated to the life-threatening needs of a spouse, parent, sibling, or other loved
one. If you are a family caregiver, we invite you to take a break to hear from others who understand.

please join us for:

An evening out to care for you!
A panel discussion of experienced caregivers as they share some of the lessons they learned
(or wish they learned) through their journey.
Complimentary appetizers and a chance to win a door prize.

Is respite or transportation a concern in order for you to attend? We can help.

Please call the Stoughton Area Senior Center (608) 873-8585 for details.

The self-help section is one of the largest sections in most bookstores. But the fact is that there is no end to the publishing of books
on a variety of self-help topics, from dieting to money management
to relationships and careers suggests that the advice given isnt
terribly effective. If self-help books really helped, wouldnt there be
an end to it, or perhaps even just one big, final edition of the Last
Self-Help Book? David Brooks suggests in his book The Road to
Character that the problem with the notion of self-help is relying
on ourselves. We keep falling back on the same method, which is
to think that we can solve our own problems. To quote the comic
strip character Pogo, We have met the enemy and he is us. Human
resourcefulness and resilience are impressive but they can only
go so far in solving our problems. Gods resourcefulness, on the
other hand, is infinite, because His is the world and its fullness. Our
resources are limited; Gods are unlimited. The danger of relying too
much on your own resources is that, to quote C.S. Lewis, You may
forget that you are at every moment totally dependent on God. So
throw out all those self-help books and ask God to help you out. Hes
always there and He is your best hope.

Quilts for veterans

From left, volunteers Pat Foltz and Ruth Odell fold one of the dozens of patriotic-themed quilts at
Stoughton American Legion Post 59 Saturday. The quilts nearly 100 of them were scheduled to be
delivered to the Madison VA Hospital on Veterans Day.

From left, sewing superstars Jeri Moeller, Pat Kirchmeyer and Deb Redemann share a laugh after driving three hours from Minocqua Saturday morning (they drove back later that day) to help finish up a
few of the quilts.
The Quilting by the River Friends group works on the quilts throughout the year, with people meeting for workshops at least once a month. Last year, the group delivered 82 quilts, and was on pace to
deliver around 90 this year. In 11 years of the program, area volunteers have donated more than 500
quilts to area veterans.

Girls swimming

Gerber
doubles up
on lineman
awards
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Six-foot four, 260-pound

senior Michael Gerber was
voted a first-team Badger
South all-conference selection, as well as Offensive and
Defensive Lineman of the
year last week.
Gerber was named a unanimous first-team selection at
guard and followed that up by
earning unanimous first team
honors at defensive lineman.
Vikings head coach said
while Gerbers stats dont
jump out at you, he earned
everything.
Michael commanded a
double team every snap and
a triple team at times, Prahl
said. Hes a great kid and
hard worker whose motivated
to play at the next level. I cant
wait to see where he ends up.
Coaches around the conference certainly took notice of
Gerber on every snap.
Hes one of the best linemen that I have seen in our
league in a while, and for him
to get named Player of the
Year on both lines shows how
good and athletic he is, Oregon coach Dan Kissling said.
You dont see guys that size
dominate playing both sides
of the ball.
Senior center Rocky France
(60, 265) and sophomore
running back Brady Schipper (511, 165) earned second team honors on offense,
while seniors Josh Hitchcock
(receiver), Erik Haried (tackle), Jake Kissling quarterback
and Sam McHone (kicker) all
received honorable mention
recognition.
Senior linebacker Matt
Wagner earned first team honors on defense, as did senior
Zach Kirby, who was named a
unanimous selection at punter.
Kirby added second team
honors at defensive back as
well.
Seniors Jeremiah Jimenez
(defensive end), Colin Koratko (linebacker) and Jakob
Benson (defensive back)
rounded out the Vikings allconference team as honorable
mention selections.
Stoughton finished 2-7
overall and 2-4 in conference.

Kooima falls 20 seconds

short of state qualifying
standard
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Sophomore Maddie Kooima just

missed cracking the top 10 at Saturdays WIAA Division 1 Middleton sectional meet.
Kooima turned in a team-best
11th-place finish for the Stoughton
girls swimming team at the states
fastest sectional, but the Vikings
were unable to advance anyone on
to this weekends state meet.
The state qualifying standard in
the 200-yard IM was 2 minutes,
11.92 seconds. Kooima posted a

2:21.34.
She also finished 13th in the 100
backstroke, dropping a second to
finish with her time of 1:03.54,
which was well behind the 59.82
state qualifying time standard.
Maddies just starting to get
the hang of pushing her underwater kicks to the limit, head coach
Katie Liebmann said. If shes
able to drop her time a bitmore in
the offseason, its likely shell be a
state qualifier next year.
Sister Shaylee Kooima had the
teams next-best finish, placing
19th in the 500 free (5:45.71).
Shaylee worked so hard for
that swim all season long, Liebmann said. She kept her faith in
her taper and everything came
together for her this weekend. She

dropped nine seconds in the 500

and it was just amazing to see her
find herself in that race.
She also shaved three seconds
off her 200 free to place 20th in
the 200 free (2:09.18).
Senior Sophie Pitney finished
20th overall in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:17.03.
Stoughtons top relay finish
came in the 400 free, where the
team of Maddie Kooima, freshmen Audrey Killian and Sophia
Thompson and Pitney took 11th
out of the 13 schools competing in
4:01.32.
Ashley Foss swam three personal bests on the day in her 50, 100,
and 200 free.
Ashley is just starting to tap
into her potential as a swimmer.

Im so excited to see where she

goes with heroff-season training,
Liebmann said.
The Vikings finished last out of
the 13 teams competing with 40
points 10 behind Madison East
and 14 back of Janesville Parker/
Evansville.
Middleton edged defending
sectional champion Verona Area/
Mount Horeb by three points for
top honors 371-368. Madison
Memorial (320), Madison West
(312.5) and Sun Prairie (224.5)
rounded out the top five.
Overall Im very pleased with
how the girls responded to training and taper this year, Liebmann
said. Im so proud of these girls
and Im so excited for where this
program is heading.

Pvt. 1st Class James
D. Young, 18, U.S. Marine
Corps, was injured Oct. 17 in
a helicopter crash in Vietnam.
Notification of her sons injury
was received by Mrs. Mary L.
Young, Route 3, Stoughton,
Tuesday evening in a telegram
from Marine headquarters
in Washington. At the time
the report was received, Pvt.
Young was receiving treatment at the battalion aid station, where his prognosis was
termed good. A letter written
by her son two days after the
crash contained no mention
of the injury, Mrs. Young said.
Shortly before 1 a.m. on
Sunday, Oct. 16, somebody
in Stoughton made history
just by using the telephone. He
became the last person to use
the phone in the community
before dial service was introduced. Since five years ago,
the number of telephones in
Stoughton has increased from
3,700 to nearly 4,800.

Stoughtons school busing
policy will not change for now,
although some parents insist
their children have to walk too
far to school. That word came
from the Board of Education
Monday evening when it
learned it cannot change state
transportation policies without the power of an annual
meeting. State law requires
busing for students who live
two or more miles away, but
Stoughtons 1.5-mile distance
was adopted previously at an
annual meeting.
Steven McConnell-Luer,
30, was sentenced to life in
prison plus 40 years Oct. 3
for strangling to death his
wife and attempting to blow
up their town of Dunn mobile
home while their two children
and dead mother were inside.
McConnell-Luer, who will not
be eligible for parole on the
murder charge for 20 years,
said, I continue to insist that
I had nothing to do with her
murder.
Just over a year since the
first spade of earth was turned,
the Stoughton Area School
District will dedicate the opening of Fox Prairie Elementary
School Sunday. A ceremony
entitled A Celebration of
Community begins at 2 p.m.
in the school gym.
The joy of the moment was
evident for Queen Dana Rhyner
and King Bryan Hall as they
received their crowns from
Michelle Nissler, president of
the Stoughton High School
Student Council, during halftime of the SHS-Sauk Prairie
football game last Friday night.
The ceremony highlighted a
week of special events at the
school. Adding further to the
spirit was Stoughtons 21-7
gridiron victory over the visitors.

Marisa, who comes from
Germanys bustling capital
of Berlin, home to around
3.5 million people, said
shes getting used to life in
a smaller-town America.
Its different in Germany,
you have a lot of public
traffic, buses and trains that
I use a lot every day, and
thats different here, she
said. You always need a
parent or someone to drive
you everywhere, because
there are no buses.
Marisa said she has

Above, from left, Tara Holte

of Stoughton and her German
exchange student brother Niki
Herzog recently visited the Field
Museum in Chicago.

The Holtes, who have a

16-year-old daughter and
21-year-old son of their
own, are excited to see
what the year brings. Their
daughter, Tara, is in the
same grade as Niki, 17,
though a year apart in age.
The students have been
in Stoughton for about 10
weeks, and have already
been keeping busy both
in school and out. Darlene Holte said when Niki
arrived, they started traveling right away, spending a
long Labor Day weekend
in Boulder Junction, where
they stayed in a cabin. They
also took trips to the Field
Museum in Chicago, Old
World Wisconsin, the state
Capitol building and a corn
maze.

The Aspect Foundation, the non-profit youth

exchange organization
sponsoring Niki and
Marisa, is seeking families who want to host
an international student.
Exchange students are
aged 15-18, speak English, and have their own
spending money and
insurance, according to
the foundation.
Volunteer host families

provide room, board, and

a welcoming home environment for a semester or
academic year.

things, she said. Things

are going great with Niki.
Its like he has been with us
always.
Niki said he had the
opportunity to go to either
the United States, England
or Australia all places
where he could work on his
English skills, but all offering some different opportunities. In the end, he chose

to come to the U.S., and

Stoughton.
Australia has some dangerous animals, and England is our neighbor, just
two hours away by plane,
he explained. America has
got a lot of opportunities and
a lot of things to enjoy.
Niki said hes enjoyed
everything about his new
experience so far.

I like all the stuff, going

to school, though everything is different, he said.
Ive already done a lot
of things, and Im always
looking forward to trying
out something new. Im
very glad I got this opportunity.
