Stoughton 9-month-old faces rare chromosome condition
TOM ALESIA
Unified Newspaper Group
Stoughtons Caleb Olson battles a

lengthy and cruel list of severe defects
while having the resiliency of a champion boxer.
And he turns 10 months old next
week.
Its a tragic story, one that reaches
deeply through his family. Caleb has
a rare defect called Di George Syndrome and his grandmother, Eileen
Weum, understands if that causes
puzzled expressions.
It means nothing to anybody, she
said, until youre thrown into it.
Di George Syndrome is caused by
a defect in the 22nd chromosome,
resulting in poor development of
several body systems. For Olson,
ailments include heart defects and
kidney and bladder issues. He also
doesnt know how to swallow and suffers digestive and breathing problems.
On April 20, he had surgery to
improve hearing issues at UWs
American Family Childrens Hospital, which Weum called his second
home.
As a result, medical bills mount,
which is why the family will be the
beneficiary of a fundraising spaghetti dinner this weekend with music,
raffles and auctions at the Stoughton
VFW.
Weum said insurance claims have
been scattershot because some of
Olsons treatments are experimental. Other costs build, including his
dietary needs, which total $13,000
every three months because he can
only be fed through a special tube.
But Weum also hopes that the May
7 event, developed by family friends,
raises awareness of Di George Syndrome.
And Olsons parents, Luke and
Anna, and his sister, Evelyn, 3, need
support, too.
Weum a lifelong Stoughton resident who has done in-home daycare for 17 years said her daughter,
Anna, is a rock and that Caleb is a
blessing.
She said Calebs family hasnt had
time to lament why they are in this

The
Kettle Park West
Phase 2 plan
sent back to
committee, again
BILL LIVICK
For the second time in

consecutive meetings, the
Common Council postponed a decision on the
proposed plan to develop
the second phase of Kettle
Park West.
And again, they plan
to discuss it informally
before it returns for another vote.
On Tuesday, April 26,
the council pushed back a
proposed resolution that
would have advanced the
d eve l o p m e n t s s e c o n d
phase. In a 9-3 vote, only
Alds. Greg Jenson, Scott
Truehl and Pat OConnor voted to conditionally
approve the preliminary
plat.
The majority agreed
with Ald. Tom Selsors

(Dist. 4) motion to defer
the resolution and hold
another committee-of-thewhole meeting to discuss
the plat before approving
or rejecting it.
No date was set for the
meeting.
The council did, however, approve a motion
authorizing the city to
send a letter to the state
Department of Transportation urging it to approve

Of course, we had lots of crying

Hes taught us how to be humble and

Cleanup efforts, new trailhead sign along river

Over 75 volunteers, including Boy and Girl Scouts, assisted the River and Trails Task Force with its annual Earth Day cleanup of Stoughtons riverbank, parks and trails on Saturday, April 23, collecting more
than 25 bags of trash. After the cleanup, the River and Trails Task Force unveiled a new trailhead sign for the Yahara River Trail and dedicated the trail section, from the pedestrian bridge to the Industrial Park,
to former Mayor Helen Johnson for her work in developing the trail. Above left, Pictured from left next to the barns at the Mandt Community Center are parent Chris Albers and Girl Scout Junior Troop 3662

was located in the Uniroyal parking lot on West Jefferson Street and had no
problems with the drinking crowd, police chief
Greg Leck told the council
during a March 29 meeting.
But it also didnt generate much revenue in fact,
Boersma said, the city lost
money on the idea.
So during this years
event (May 13-15), volunteers will sell beer under
a tent in the Kegonsa Plaza parking lot. Suess said
the committee decided to
change locations because
last year the beer garden was segregated from
everything else and it had
an unattractive appearance.
This year there will be
an actual tent, and itll be in
a more central location and
next to the tent where the
bands will play, she added.
The beer tent will be
just north of the entertainment tent at the corner of
South Division Street and
West Jefferson. Last year
the entertainment tent was
on North Division Street
between the movie theater
and McGlynns Pharmacy.
Suess said it made sense
to put the two together,
although the beer tent will
be surrounded by fencing and separated from the
entertainment tent.
She said beer will be sold
in standard 12-ounce cans,

The beer garden from last years Syttende Mai celebration has been moved and put under a tent this

the Viking Brew Pub called
Soot in my Eye (a play on

Opposition to the beer because of a disagreement

the reintroduction of beer
at Syttende Mai because it
doesnt fit the events atmosphere.

about the beer tent.

There was a consensus
on the committee when they
instituted it a couple of years
ago, but Ive taken a position
against it for quite a while,
he said.
The event previously
wasnt selling beer for several decades because they
had some real trouble, and
we have been consistently
saying this isnt a good idea,
based on the history of what
happened, he said.
Boermsa recalled that in
the late 1970s a motorcycle
club appeared at the event
and, after several hours of
drinking, things got out
of hand and that year the
community put an end to the
practice.
I would have liked to see
that direction continue, he
said. Its not that its going
to be a terrible situation necessarily, but with my history
as a social worker, Ive seen
how alcohol can be a problem for families and individuals.
Leck told the Common
Council there were no problems last year and he supported the Syttende Mai
committees application for
a temporary license to sell
beer. He said all the proper safeguards have been
planned and will be in place.

Water rates increase 12 percent

KEVIN MURPHY
Hub correspondent
Stoughton Utilities residential

water rates have increased 12 percent
in the third non-inflationary bump
since 2009.
The Public Service Commission
recently authorized the increase,
which will raise the average residential customers bill to $25.58. Previously, average residential customers
(3,000 gallons) were paying $21.95
for the same volume of water. The
rates went into effect Sunday, May 1,
said Kim Jennings, SU finance manager.
SU received 3 percent overall rate
increases in 2014 and 2015, which
the PSC allows utilities to do to meet
inflationary cost increases. Rates
increased by 15 percent and 29 percent in 2009 and 2010, respectively,
as SU financed a $1.26 million water
tower on the citys east side.
SU has four rate classifications
for each of its commercial, industrial, multifamily and public authority
customer categories, and rates in each

category increased between 14 and 28
percent depending on meter size and
usage, according to the PSC rate order
issued April 25.
Despite the frequent increases, SU
water bills remain below state average
for similar-sized utilities, according to
the PSC rate order issued April 25.
The water utility is in a solid financial position. Our rate increases are
due to funding improvement projects,
otherwise we do a pretty good job of
keeping expenses in check, Jennings
said.
SU filed a rate increase in December seeking additional revenue to
finance ongoing water main replacement projects and earn a 5.25 percent
rate of return on its infrastructure
investment.
Mains were replaced in Washington
and Fifth streets last year and mains
are being replaced in Clyde and Van
Buren streets this year, Jennings said.
The utility also added a water operator to the administrative staff, which
restores a position that had been
unfilled after a retirement.
The new rates are expected to boost
annual revenue by $237,784 to $2.085
million. After estimated expenses of
$1.639 million, the utility projects a

$445,420 net income and a 5.25 percent return.
There wasnt much difference
between what we asked for and what
we received, Jennings said.
Under the old rates the utility projected finishing 2016 with a $224,235
net income and a 2.45 percent rate of
return.
The utility did not request rates that
would encourage water conservation
by increasing the rate as consumption goes up, said Jennings. In recent
years, the utility replaced residential
rates that decrease as consumption
increased with a rate that stays flat
regardless of usage.
Jennings called that a step in the
direction of conservation.
The Utilities Committee is aware
of (conservation rates) and the flat
rate is a first step. Were aware of other utilities that have adopted conservation rates and its something thats
definitely being discussed, she said.
Jennings anticipated the utility
would not seek a large increase next
time but a 3 percent increase when the
need arise.
Public works: Stoughton was always appealing to me

Stoughton was always
appealing to me, he said.
Its a nice quaint community. I met a lot of the management team when I was

We were enjoying ourselves just

a nice lady dressed like an usher

parents would have to leave; only
the performers could remain.
Imagine our delight when we
learned from a very proud parent
there was to be a Madfiddle concert. The Madfiddle group is all
children violinists ranging in age
from about 5 or 6 up to 17 or so
who all play by ear and memory.
After a brief debate, we decided
to stay for the show, and we are so
glad we did.
Their repertoire draws from a
variety of fiddle styles, including
old-time, Appalachian, Celtic,
Scandinavian, bluegrass and contemporary. The girls were dressed
in a variety of dresses, short and
long, and looked like country or
folkie types, while the boys dressed
ranging from country-folkie to
cowboys and young men with
suspenders, ties, and a couple with
fedoras.
It was a lovely sight when they
came out, but the best was yet to
come.
They were accompanied by an
adult backing band of four musicians playing a variety of acoustic
string instruments. They were
called Highway 151; you could tell
they loved these youngsters and

enjoyed playing with them.
Such a wonderful surprise a
lagniappe! It went beyond its
planned hour-and-a-half running
time, but it was such a joy that we
lost track of time.
There was not a squawk or
screech from a violin: They were
outstanding violinists. They played
most times with the entire group,
sometimes with smaller ensembles,
violin solos, singing solos and
duets.
Their charming director, Shauncey Ali, also played the violin and
sang on occasion. But mostly he
started them off, and then tripped
around the group like a musical
pied piper.
One time, when he was introducing the French piece, Maison de
Glace (house of ice), he was interrupted by one of the young boys,
a 6-year- old with a dressy outfit.
He stole up by Mr. Ali, pulled on
his sleeve until he got Alis attention, and said in a very loud voice,
Sometimes it means house of ice
cream.
He brought the house down.

came back.
We started out to see a restored
Opera House and got so much
more. The house was filled with the
joyful sounds of children who were
playing like pros and having a lot
of fun doing it. Some future symphony players there!
You have a wonderful asset in
the Opera House. Thank you for a
delightful Sunday afternoon.

Progress continues on
the Stoughton Area Veterans Memorial Park,
as work is shifting from
foundation to landscaping.
In late March, Rutland

coordinator Bud Erickson of American Legion
Post 59. By late April or
early May, they will level
the area and do all of the
cement flat work, consisting of nearly 9,700 square
feet.
In early June, Pechmann
Monument Company will
begin installing the benches and educational pillars,
to be followed by the centerpiece, flag pole bases,
and entrance.
Landscaping plans are
being evaluated, and later
this fall, after Pechmann
c o m p l e t e s t h e i r wo r k ,
grass seed will be spread

over the entire area. Further landscaping may be
delayed until next spring
depending on funds available.
To p u r c h a s e a t r e e
or other shrubbery for
the park, contact Duane
Broughton at 884-6039.
Orders for pavers will
be taken until June 1. For
orders received after that,
the pavers may not be put
in place until after the dedication on Nov. 12. Five
of the 12 educational pillars are remaining for purchase. A complete pillar is

Gardening series
It is surprising that we dont have an English word for taking pleasure in the
failures or misfortunes of others, given how common the experience is. The
Germans have a word for this, Schadenfreude, which literally means harm
joy, and this experience can range from enjoying the spectacle of seeing
someone being punished who really deserves it, to getting pleasure from
seeing your least favorite team lose, to the less respectable exper ence of
laughing when we see someone slip and fall. This is not one of humanitys
greatest attributes, but its universality suggests there might be some function that it serves. Perhaps its just a way to make us feel better, to feel that
in comparison to those who we work and go to school with, we really are
superior. After all, when I get an A and the guy behind me gets an F, this
just reflects my superior intelligence and better efforts at studying. And if
the guy behind me didnt study, didnt he deserve to get an F? Perhaps the
deeper meaning of this experience is that it points to our innate sense of
justice.We want to see criminals punished and lazy st dents fail their exams.
However,we shouldnt take too much pleasure in the misfortunes of others,
and should remember that compassion is the glue which holds society
together.When people get their just desserts, its okay to smile a bit, on the
inside of course, and not too enthusiastically.

KPW: Engelberger questions two-lane roads leading to Wal-Mart Supercenter
The resolution presented

to the council April 26 was
changed so it would have
allowed only a section of
Phase 2 to be developed
an area on the north side of
Jackson Street, identified on
a development map as part
A where a proposed hotel
and senior living facility
would be built.
The entire second phase
was to include 82 acres for
development, with a total of
460 residential units.
Under the resolution that
failed, other parts of Phase
2 sections B, C, D and E
would not be considered
for development until several conditions have been
met. Those include receiving DOT approval to extend
Oak Opening Drive south to
Hwy. 138 and completing an
agreement with the Town of
Rutland to allow infrastructure improvements to Deer
Point Road, which would
serve as a second access
point off Hwy. 51 into Phase
2. A small section of Jackson Street would also need
to be extended.
Selsor said the huge
question is who would pay
for the Hwy. 138 connection (should the DOT allow
it) and the work on Deer
Point Road.
The developers attorney,
Council rejects developers request to move

part of Phase 2 forward while other conditions
are being met
Alders will again meet in committee of the
whole to further discuss the project.
Area in question, Section A, includes senior
facility and hotel
Conditions included state approval for road
extension and upgrades of a town road
City will send a letter to state in favor of road
extension
Dan OCallaghan, has said
Forward Development
Group would need the citys
tax increment-financing
assistance to fund the work.
Selsor and other alders have
said they would not approve
more TIF for the project.
Thatll be the line we
draw, he warned the developer.
OCallaghan pointed out
that the developer could
move forward with section A, where the hotel and
senior living facility would
be built, without more TIF
assistance. The infrastructure for that area, 85 percent of which was approved
in Phase 1, has already been
built, he said.
The attorney suggested
the council could conditionally approve the resolution
authorizing the preliminary
plat with the understanding

that no other parts of Phase
2 would be done until the
conditions (access to Hwy
138 and Deer Point Road
improvements) have been
met.
Traffic concerns
Ald. Mike Engelberger
(D-2) raised concerns about
big problems with traffic
in and around KPW unless
Hwy. 51, as well as roads
leading to and from the
Wal-Mart Supercenter in
Phase 1, are expanded from
two lanes to four.
To me, youve got to
have four lanes past the
development both ways, he
said. We need four lanes
even after you get into the
development.
Engelberger passed out
photos hed taken of other
Map courtesy Forward Development Group
The preliminary plat map for Kettle Park Wests Phase 2 shows a staged development beginning with
section A, north of Jackson Street. The developer has asked the Common Council to approve the plat
conditionally so that he could start work on section A, which would include a possible hotel and senior
living facility. The council, however, decided to meet as a committee to further discuss the project
before making a decision.
Wa l - M a r t S u p e r c e n t e r s
in the area. The photos
showed four lanes leading
to and from Wal-Mart in
every case.
How did we get this far
(in the approval process)
without recognizing the

need for four lanes? he
asked.
OCallaghan responded
that several engineers had
studied the areas traffic
patterns and used computer
models to determine that

the development would be
OK with two lanes until
2035.

Stoughton History
March
120 Years ago - 1896

Saturday was a big tobacco day in
Stoughton. Scores of crops were delivered at Tannert and Hemsings warehouse, principally from Albion.
If the bit of gossip that floats over
from Rutland is true, Sheriff Mikkelson
will have to hunt up a new jailer. His man,
Mart Green, can run down an evil-doer,
slip the bracelets on him and land him in
jail as neatly as anybody, but the thing was
reversed, so they say, over at the Rutland
parsonage last Sunday. Mart was fettered
and bound himself, and given a life sentence. The other party to the transaction
doesnt teach school in Dunn now.
E. A. Campbell, well remembered by
many of the old soldiers as one of the
Stoughton Light Guards who went to
the front in 61, is in the city, partly on
business and partly to visit with his old
comrades. He is now president of the
state bank at Winthrop, Minn.
The city is full of tramps. Let the dog
loose, load up your shotgun and keep the
doors locked.
A move is on to organize a military
company in Stoughton.
70 Years ago - 1946
In a letter from the War Department
on Tuesday, Mrs. Howard Hanson, the
former Esther Anderson, was informed
that her husband, Howard Hanson, 24, the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Hanson, Route
three, has been declared dead.
Ground was broken this morning for
the construction of a new cheese factory
just outside the Stoughton city limits on
N. Page Street, beyond the Chapin storage
tanks.
As the only solution to the problems of
the atomic age, the president called for a
genuine renewal of religious faith.
A swimming pool and a ski slope for
Stoughton were proposed as memorials
to the veterans of World War II by the
Badger Post of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars at its meeting last night.
Aching backs and sore arms are a
dime a dozen among Stoughton citizens
following their weekend stint of shoveling
out of the seasons record snowfall.
ton will have automatic car washes this

spring. The R & L Viking car wash in the
1200 block of East Main Street opened
this past week. The west side car wash is
expected to be completed in early April.
One local teenager asked her mother
if she could go to Woodstock, which
will be shown at the Badger Theatre this
weekend. Her mother replied, Is that one
of those movies you have to be under 18
to attend? Maybe parents have a new
movie classification.
The gas war in Stoughton came to an
abrupt end last Friday when the price of
petrol jumped as much as 12 cents per
gallon back to its normal level. During
the final week of the gas war, prices for
regular gasoline plummeted to 24.9 cents
per gallon at one discount station in
Stoughton.
Norris and Carol Fosdahl are the 1971
Syttende Mai king and queen.
The Stoughton Area Recreation Association, a non-profit group, expects to
publish a report on the possibility of
building a year-round swimming pool in
Stoughton.
One of the sure signs that spring is on
the way is when water pistols are neatly
lined along the counter at the dime store.
20 Years ago - 1996

Now I know angels do come in all
sizes, said Judy Weir to a packed West
Koshkonong Lutheran Church Tuesday
morning. Weir spoke of her nephew,
Casey Rowin, who was laid to rest on a
gray and windy morning, surrounded by
family, classmates and friends. Rowin, 13,
was killed accidentally Friday afternoon
when a rifle which was being unloaded by
a classmate discharged, striking Rowin in
the heart and spinal cord.
A recommendation to replace the flat,
leaky roof at Yahara Elementary with a
roof that pitches slightly in, or downwards
toward an internal drain system, dominated Mondays school board meeting.
A Janesville man with a reported
history of mental illness has confessed to
killing his wife, dismembering her body in
the basement of the couples apartment
and hiding her remains at Kegonsa State
Park. Arthur W. Fuller, 47, is charged with
45 Years ago - 1971
first-degree intentional homicide in the
Both east and west sides of Stough- death of 44-year-old Helen M. Fuller. He
is also charged with mutilating a corpse.

Incumbents Lee Fanshaw and Terry
Deschane were re-elected and newcomer
Erv Lee also emerged from a field of six
candidates vying for three open seats
on the Board of Education in Tuesdays
election.
10 Years ago - 2006
A large crowd of well-wishers was on
hand for a reception held Feb. 6 to honor
Melvin Red Benschop upon his 50th
anniversary as a fireman. Several past
chiefs were in attendance, including Oscar
Forton and Odean Teigen, along with Benschops wife and family members. Mayor
Helen Johnson and Chief Marty Lamers
presented Benschop with a plaque thanking him for his outstanding contributions
and dedication to the Stoughton community.
Senator Mark Miller (D-Monona) and
Representative Gary Hebl (D-Sun Prairie)
announced late last week that the legislature has given final approval for their
Wisconsin Disaster Relief Fund legislation, a bipartisan initiative that provides
state disaster aid to Stoughton area and
other Wisconsin communities that suffered severe tornado damage on Aug. 18,
2005. The fund provides $3 million per
year over the next two years in matching
grant funds (75 percent state, 25 percent
local).
Don Wahlin has offered the city of
Stoughton an old Stoughton Trailers
building on East Main St. next to the
downtown railroad tracks as a site for
a new city youth center. Mayor Helen
Johnson said the building is big enough to
house in separate quarters centers for
after-school activities for both high school
and middle school students.
City officials and neighborhood groups
say they arent waiting for the other shoe
to drop concerning an alleged increase of
gang activity in Stoughton. Residents in
one neighborhood are already organizing
a neighborhood watch group because
of what they believe is possible gang/drug
activity along North Madison Street, and
city officials have organized two community information sessions for early April.

with our mind. Who should we call? Moyers of course.

The Stoughton High School

girls track and field 4x800 relay
set a new meet record Friday at
the Oregon Relays at Oregon High
School.
The 4x800 team of Aly Weum,
Clea Roe, Emily Reese and Abby
Kittleson won the event in 9 minutes, 54.98 seconds, breaking the
previous 2014 meet record by the
team of Nikki Staffen, Kelsey Jenny, Aly Weum and Katherine Rude
(9:57.03).
This is a really talented group
of kids, head coach Eric Benedict
said. It is great to have happen. I
was really happy.

The Vikings, which edged the
host Panthers 49-46 for the meet
title, also picked up wins in the
4x1000 relay, pole vault relay,
high jump relay and the triple
jump relay. They were runner-up
in the discus relay, long jump
relay, 1,600 sprint relay and the
3x100 shuttle hurdles.
The 4x1000 team (Margaret
Ross, Lydia Schultz, Alex Ashworth and Anna Wozniak) also
won in 13:52.28, while the pole
vault relay (Kiley Lynch, Hannah
Jane and Payton Swatek) won
with a height of 13 feet, 6 inches.
The high jump relay (Marissa Robson, Bronwynn Ziemann
and Hannah Hobson) won with
a height of 13-9, tying the Portage team. The triple jump relay
(Kassidy McMillan, Reese and
Ziemann) also won with a distance of 89-9 3/4.

The discus relay (Natalie
Zientek, Kennedy Silbaugh and
Hobson) took runner-up with a
distance of 265-4, and the long
jump relay (Maddie Posick, Bel
Dennis and Lynch) took second
with a distance of 44-5.
The 3x100 shuttle hurdles team
(Shelby Orcutt, Sam Beach and
Lynch) was second in 55.7, and
the 1,600 sprint relay team (Maren
Gryttenholm, Posick, Reese and
Weum) took runner-up in 4:32.12.
The annual Stoughton Invitational is at 4:30p.m. Friday.
It is a great test of how our
team will be, Benedict said. It
should be a very competitive meet.
We are looking forward to watching our athletes compete, and it
should be a fun meet to watch as
a spectator.

shined at its second relay meet
in two weeks last Friday at
Oregon High School.
The Vikings broke the
school record in the triple
jump relay to take first and
also collected wins in the
pole vault, high jump, 3x300
shuttle hurdles, 3x110 shuttle
hurdles, 1,600 sprint and the
4x1,000 relays. They were
also runner-ups in the 4x100,
4x200, 4x400, 4x800 and the
long jump relays.
That performance helped
Stoughton top Oregon for the
meet title, 68-58.
We know we have some
really good kids in certain
events. To know that we have
kids that will step up in the
bottom half of the meet and
get points is really nice to
have, head coach Trevor Kramolis said. Winning the meet
got a lot of confidence for the
kids, and we will be able to
utilize that.
The triple jump relay
of Adam Krumholz, Jordan DiBenedetto and Sean
McLaury won with a distance
of 122 feet, 10 inches, breaking the old record of 120-7 set
in 1990 by Chad Strutzel, Eric
Elvekrog and Brad Hendrickson.
To know we have some
of the top jumpers in the conference is a boost, Kramolis
said.
The pole vault relay of
Max Quale, Evan Ouk and
Jake Deutsch also won with a
height of 30-0, while the high
jumpers Tom Sheehy, Calvin
Vincent and Krumholz posted
a meet-best height of 16-6.

ANTHONY IOZZO
Following up last Thursdays victory

over Fort Atkinson the teams first Badger South Conference win since 2013 and
only the third since 2010 the Stoughton
High School girls soccer team set its sights
on Milton Monday.
While the momentum looked to be turning after a goal by sophomore Cassidy
Bach tied the match at 1-all in the 49th
minute, Milton junior Karlee Krebs made
her presence known with goals in the 61st
and 65th minutes, as the Vikings fell 3-1.
We had a lot of momentum on our
side, head coach Chelsea Kittleson said.

We just have to continue to play up at that
level, which I think sometimes depending on the team has kind of been our history. If we come out against a lesser team,
that is how we play. We have to learn to
play our style of play.
Bachs goal came after Smith used her
speed to get the ball past midfield and
passed it to Trieloff who broke away to the
box. Trieloff grabbed the attention of the
goalie and then passed to Bach who snuck
the ball in beside her to the bottom lefthand corner of the net.
With both teams battling at midfield,

Soccer: Girls pick up first conference win

Badger South
it looked as though the Vikings

were about to get another chance,
but Krebs got control and kicked
the ball from 35-yards out. It had
a tough curve and senior Hannah
Woods could not make the save
although she made several to keep
Stoughton in the game.
Four minutes later, Milton once
again forced the issue and got the
ball in the box where Krebs had a
wide-open look which she didnt
miss.
Milton took a 1-0 lead early in
the 33rd minute when freshman
midfielder Chloe Buescher scored.
And the Red Hawks had a few
more attempts in the box in the
first half by pushing the Vikings
defense back.
Stoughton had a chance to tie in
the first half when freshman Peighton Trieloff got off a shot after
speeding past the Milton defense,
but sophomore goalie Danielle
Heitsman made the stop.
A few seconds later, sophomore
Jacqueline Smith had a chance to
score but the kick went wide right.
The final minute of the first half
was even crazier for both teams.
Stoughton had a chance when
Heitsman came out too far and
misplayed the ball leaving the net
wide open. Junior Augustyna Brestar tried to get the kick off but a
Milton defender blocked the shot
and forced a corner.
On the corner, the ball landed in
the box and a free-for-all began as

several players attempted to kick
the ball. Junior Rosana Draus was
the one who gained control, but
her shot was blocked out.
With a minute left, Milton
regained possession and sped
down the field only to have a shot
hit the crossbar to end the half.
I think we came out strong in
the first 10 minutes in the first
half, Kittleson said. They have
a lot of speed and (Krebs) is their
go to.
Despite the loss, there are signs
of what the Vikings can do as they
continue to grow on the field.
Besides the speed and good passing on the Bach goal, the midfield was strong at keeping Milton
breakaways to a minimum.
But in the end, the young
Vikings lack of reaction time to
the ball allowed Milton to play
its style of play. Especially at the
end, Kittleson said the girls were
caught watching a few too many
times.
Our biggest setback is that we
dont practice with game speed all

the time, Kittleson said. Game
tape is huge for us to correct
some of the mistakes and figure
out what types of things we need
to tighten up a little bit. You cant
really teach reaction time. It is
more of something you have to
develop from just vision and seeing the field and thinking about
where you need to be.
Kittleson added that the potential is there, and it is only a matter
of gaining experience and putting
together the best play for 90 minutes.
The 11 that was out there. They
contained the ball fairly well,
Kittleson said. I thought we did
well but a little bit of our stamina
as far as hanging with them and
pushing back. We get into the habit of doing a little bit of watching,
sometimes chasing, but that kind
of happens with some younger
starters that I have out there. It is a
learning curve. We can only grow
from here.

When Buddy of Mine

founder Larry Eifert takes a
call from a pet owner seeking
help, he can often hear the
raw emotion in their voice.
Those exchanges reaffirm
the powerful role the organization strives to play for people and animals in need. It
also conveys the bond those
people and their pets share
a bond that, in Eiferts experience, can be stronger than
any human relationship in
their life.
Pets give you unconditional love, Eifert said.
People dont always do
that.
Eifert, a longtime Stoughton resident, started Buddy of Mine named for his
13-year-old border collie
in 2011 after a conversation
about Stoughtons Holiday
Fund food drive.
Larrys friend Mya Everson, now a Buddy of Mine
board member, suggested
that if people need food for
themselves, they probably
need food for their pets (as
well).
That conversation spawned
Buddy of Mines holiday pet
food giveaway, which benefited more than 120 animals
in its first year. While the
drives success was encouraging, Eifert said it also highlighted the surprising need
Stoughton and the surrounding area had for an organization that could provide aid
to pet owners either living
on a fixed income, or experiencing hardships in their
lives that made it difficult to

PuppyUp walk raises over Pet Talk

Tips for caring for older pets
$131K for cancer research
Over 1,100 humans and their 700 canine
companions gathered at McKee Farms
Park on May 1 for the annual PuppyUp
Madison.
The 2-mile walk celebrates the heroes,
honors the survivors and remembers those
lives who have been lost to canine and
Pets are more than just

our companions they are
a part of the family. As your
pet ages, it is important to
consult your veterinarian
for help providing the proper care for your senior pets
changing needs.
Every animal is different, so the senior life stage
occurs at different ages in
different pets. For instance,
dogs are typically considered seniors at seven
years old, but older dogs
age quicker than smaller
dogs. Cats can be considered mature at 7 years and
seniors at 11 years old.
Breed and species aside,
your pets genetics, nutrition, health and environment will ultimately determine when your pet is considered a senior.
One of the telltale signs
of increasing age in pets is
a decline in physical activity. For instance, previously
active pets may not play as
much and both dogs and
cats may need assistance
climbing on and off the bed
or couch.
Dr. Stacy Eckman, clinical assistant professor at
the Texas A&M College
of Veterinary Medicine
& Biomedical Sciences,
explained when pet owners
can expect this transition
into senior pet behavior.
A decrease in physical activity depends on
the breed, size and genetics of the pet, she said.

The event hit a national record of over
$131,000 raised through teams, sponsors
and donors to further the study of comparative oncology.

House, of Fitchburg, while nearing the starting line for the PuppyUp walk.
However, some older pets

are still quite active in their
senior years.
In addition to a decrease
in physical activity, older cats and dogs tend to
develop more degenerative
health problems.
A visit to the veterinarian every six months can
help determine what is
normal for your pet so that
any changes in behavior or
health can be detected early.
Aging cats and dogs are
also prone to arthritis, dental disease, loss of sight and
hearing and a decrease in
mobility. Just like humans,
pets may need more assistance getting around and
taking care of themselves.
Despite this change in
mobility and physical activity, it is important to keep
your dog and cat active to
slow the progression of
joint pain and arthritis. In
addition, a healthy diet that
adequately nourishes your
pet is also key in reducing
your pets risk for obesity,
which can also contribute
to joint pain.
The single most important aspect in helping your
pet stay as happy and
healthy for as long as possible is maintaining a healthy
weight throughout their
lifetime, Eckman said. A
healthy weight should be
coupled with regular exercise and activity.
Letting go
Perhaps the hardest part

about having an aging furry best friend is accepting
when they are no longer
happy in everyday life. It is
never easy to let go of a pet,
but in some cases, euthanasia is the most humane
option.
Making the decision to
euthanatize a pet is a personal and difficult decision, Eckman said. The
decision is dependent on
what signs and symptoms
the pet is showing or what
disorder the pet is experiencing. When owners are
questioning if they should
euthanize their pet, they
should discuss it with their
veterinarian to help guide
the decision-making process.
As much as we would
love our pets to live forever,
they grow old and need special care. To ensure your pet
lives a long, healthy life, be
sure to visit your veterinarian regularly to discuss your
pets diet, exercise habits,
and overall health.

KATE NEWTON
In honor of Earth Day, yet another

tree can now call Stoughton home.
City staff and residents visited Westview Ridge Park Friday, April 22 to
plant a Regal Prince Oak tree especially fitting after the death of the legendary musician Prince the day before.
City forester Randy Nelson led the
planting, and Mayor Donna Olson as
well as the citys mobile solar tree kiln,
the only one of its kind in the country

also made an appearance. Ald. Sid
Boersma helped organize the event,
which intended to focus on All Things
Trees.
It did just that, as Nelson gave the
group a crash course in best practices for tree planting, starting with this
advice: Its better to put a $10 tree in
a $100 hole than a $100 tree in a $10
hole.
Nelson suggests that those interested in planting their own tree be aware
that the number one killer of trees is
planting them too deep, and that they
should do corrective pruning and
maintenance on the tree in the years
after planting to keep it healthy and
growing properly.
If you purchase a tree in a pot, soak
it for 24 hours and prune the roots
before planting, as the roots have been
trained to grow improperly while in the
pot. If the tree is wrapped in burlap, its
ideal to remove as much as possible
from the tree, especially if the burlap is
treated and wont break down.
Above all, trees need air, water and
nutrients, Nelson said, adding that,
ultimately, trees will adapt to their
environment and straighten naturally
even if theyre planted crookedly.
The oak tree planted during the event
was an estimated 7-10 years old, and
joins other oaks, as well as Japanese
lilac trees, in the park.
Left, Walker Itzen, 5, of Stoughton, watches the tree planting, but is ready to step in with his
shovel to help. Above, Ald. Sid Boersma and Sustainable Stoughton founding member Roger
Springman help remove the burlap from the base of the tree.
