Seeks input on
five-year outlook
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
In a community with a
good reputation as a destination for seniors, Stoughton Senior Center officials
are looking to improve.
Through the Stoughton
Commission on Aging,
that happens with fiveyear plans that look at
issues facing the aging
community, the needs
and interests of those
served by the senior center and the centers role
in addressing those. The
commission is wrapping
up its latest plan, with
hopes to have it completed
by the end of the summer,
said senior center director
Cindy McGlynn.
How to help
The Stoughton
Commission on Aging
is looking for input and
comments for its latest
five-year plan, set to
be completed later
this summer. Contact
the Stoughton Senior
Center at 873-8585.
The commission has
conducted strategic planning for the last 20 years
or so, generally timed
with national accreditation of senior centers, she
said. This time around the
commission decided to
hold focus group to try to
gather more information, a

fair board president Luther

why.

I dont think so, he

He added that some food

Area couple helps rescue Norwegian dog breed

KATE NEWTON
After spending the past two years

introducing Syttende Mai attendees
to Norwegian Buhunds, a Madison
couple is helping take part in a rescue effort of the breed that became a
national story.
Sarah Close and her husband, Cory,
a Stoughton native, traveled to Michigan to take in four of the 98 dogs
removed from a residence in St. Clair
County, just northeast of Detroit, last
month.
They were alerted to the situation

Six rabbits attacked at fair

Six show rabbits of rare

breeds were attacked after
the Stoughton Junior Fair
closed Thursday, June 30.
One rabbit suffered a severe
spinal injury and five others had lacerations to their
heads.
Stoughton Police are
investigating the attack.
Laurie Schellinger
m o t h e r o f S y d n ey a n d
Shelby Tone, the 16-yearold twins who handled
these rabbits from birth
described the nasty, chaotic scene when the rabbits
injuries were discovered on
early Friday morning, July
1.
Were speculating, but it
looks like somebody took a
tool and grabbed as much
hair and skin as possible
and pulled it straight out,
Schellinger told the Hub on
Monday, July 4.
One cage was found bottom up on the ground. The
most prized show rabbit
had its cages zip-tie cut,
prompting the most serious injuries. The rabbit was
found away from the cage

unable to move its hind
legs.
Schellinger speculat ed that the rabbit named
Barclay and an American
Sable, a breed with fewer
than 500 remaining was
taken from its cage and
dropped to the floor or fell
from a grasp.
He was able to crawl
away, she said. Hes still
alive. Well know if he
improves in a week or two.
He was the girls best
rabbit, a national champion.
Hes been shown by them
all year long.
The other five rabbits are
expected to survive, but
none may be show rabbits
again, Schellinger said.
Schellinger said she
believes at least two people
were involved because one
had to grab a rabbit and the
other used a tool to harm
the rabbits. No other rabbits, owned by other families, were harmed, and the
Schellingers rabbit cages
were lined up three back to
back.
Schellingers daughters,
she said, were shocked,
sad and disturbed by the

attack. Members of Stoughtons Triangle Troopers
4-H, the sisters returned to
the fair, which ended Monday night, and entered other competitions while volunteering numerous hours
at the barn and concession
stand. Twenty-four of their
26 animals, including goats
and poultry, shown received
blue ribbons.
They kept on trying to
make it their fair, Schellinger said.
Fa i r b o a r d p r e s i d e n t
Luther Sperle and other
board members were troubled by the attack. Sperle said the large barn was
locked. Security is also on
the grounds throughout the
night, he said.
Other 4-H-ers, their parents and the fair (board)
were supportive and told
us about their shock and
anger, Schellinger said.
It truly created a ripple
through the people down
there.

The game of tennis, Stoughton style

For a year now, Ive been giving tennis lessons to my almost7-year-old grandson Robbie at
Bjoin Park when he visits from
Eau Claire. Last Thursday, I
surprised him with an upgrade
to the old Wilson Stan Smith
Junior Capri model wood racket
that my dad gave me in Berkeley, Calif., when I turned 7, a
mere 63 years ago.
Thursday evening, I realized it
was missing, and we must have
lost track of it while picking
up tennis balls and left it at the
park.
On Friday morning, I drove
by the park with little hope of

recovery and wondering what
Id tell Robbie. But there it was,
its rich red and yellow laminate
shining in the sun, propped up
nicely against the fence, presumably so its junior owner
could find it. Partly just good
luck, I guess, but another timely
reminder as well of just how
fortunate we are to live in this
lovely little city of Stoughton,
Wis.

around people.
But after being relocated
to foster homes across the
Midwest and East Coast,
she said most of the dogs
are turning around very
quickly due to the quick
action of volunteers and
shelters that helped remove
and temporarily shelter the
dogs.
We want to focus on the
happy now: Theyre all
safe, theyre going to go to
happy homes and theyre all
getting healthy, Close added.
Of the 28 Buhunds rescued, 17 have been already
been adopted, Adcox said.
The NBCA has raised
about $12,000 in donations
some coming from other Buhund organizations in
Europe and are continuing
to accept funds to pay for
medical expenses. Adoption
applications, meanwhile,
have begun pouring in from
as far away as California
and Alaska, Adcox said.
Close and her husband
drove two of their fosters
to Ohio last week to meet
up with their new owners,
and still have the two other dogs, Buster and Wolfie, in addition to their own
Buhunds, Tryggvi and Fritjof.
Theyve brought Tryggvi
and Fritjof to Stoughton
many times, discussing the
breed both at Syttende Mai
and when people approach
them with questions. Foster
dog Wolfie visited with her
this weekend; meanwhile,
Buster will soon leave for
his new home in Washington State.
Adcox, who lives in Delaware, stays in close contact
with Close and other foster
families as she works to
vet, approve and coordinate

travel for the adoptions.

While the process is incredibly time-consuming and at
times, emotionally draining, she said shes absolutely amazed to hear how
far the dogs have come in
just a matter of weeks.
I have pictures of them
cowering under a car, and
they are out walking on a
leash now, and going up to
people, she said. Just by
allowing them to be dogs
and experience people rather than be left in a house,
c o n fi n e d t h ey h ave
shown how resilient they
are.
The couple who owned
the home a 66-year-old
man and his 56-year-old
wife, whom Adcox vaguely
knew through her network
of fellow breeders are
facing felony charges of
abandoning or cruelty to 10
or more animals. They are

scheduled to be arraigned
this week.
Hoarding is a mental
illness, and unfortunately,
none of us caught it with
her, Adcox said of the
woman, adding that her job
wont be finished until all
the Buhunds are adopted.
Close expressed a similar
outlook as she and Wolfie
took in the familiar sights
and sounds on Main Street
many of which, at three
years old, were still new to
him.
Well hang onto them
until they have someplace
to go, Close said. Theres
no rush. If Wolfie takes
three years to find a new
home, hell live with us for
three years. It doesnt matter.

Norwegian Buhunds
date back hundreds of
years: their remains were
found in the excavation
of the ancient Gokstad
site in Norway, which
dates back to the year
900. Bred to herd (their
name literally translates
to farm dog), Buhunds
are known for their intelligence, agility and distinctive bark. They have prick
up-ears and curled tails,
and are either wheat-colored or black with thick
coats that shed several
times a year.
Buhunds behave very
affectionately toward their
owners and also do well
with children and other
pets. While they can be
very active and demand
lots of physical exercise,
theyre receptive to training and are also content
to curl up on the couch.

adopting a Buhund,

Bound for Adventure

Humans are made for adventure. We all love a good adventure story,
and if you are a student of history, you know that human beings have
been seeking adventure from the dawn of history, and probably before,
if the prehistoric cave paintings are any indic tion. What prompts one
person to set off on foot over the range of mountains and another to
fashion a boat or raft and set off across the ocean must be some sort of
innate wanderlust. Whatever it is, we all have a hankering for adventure.
This can be satisfied in big or small ways. Sometimes we set off on a
path through the woods in our own backyard or decide to take our bicycle somewhere weve never been. Other times we opt for the adventure
vacation, perhaps hiking in a remote wilderness or exploring an unfamiliar city. Of course the notion of adventure is relative. What one person
considers wildly adventurous another may consider childs play. In any
case, we should all indulge our spirit of adventuresafely, of course.
Its not for nothing that the Bible is filled with great stories of adventure,
from Noahs ark to Pauls shipwreck in the Mediterranean. God favors
the bold.

Costly home victory
As win, but lose

lead-off hitter

Utica knocked Fort

Atkinson from the ranks of
the undefeated on Sunday,
but the 11-9 victory came
with a hefty price tag.
The Generals had won
nine straight games before
last weekends Southeast
S e c t i o n s h ow d ow n bu t
dug themselves into a 6-0
deficit at Utica. Middleton remains the lone undefeated team in the league,
posting an 11-0 record
thus far in the Northern
East Division.
T h o u g h t h e As w e r e
able to jump on the Generals early, they lost their
leadoff hitter before they
ever scored a run in a sixrun first inning.
Andy Martin walked
in the bottom of the first
but was injured soon after
sliding back into the bag
on a pick-off attempt by
Andrew Holzli a play
that left Martin writhing in
pain off first base.
Despite injuring his left
shoulder multiple times
over the years, it was the
first time Martin sustained
an injury to his right,
which he popped back in
the socket himself before
being helped to his feet.
Martin left the game in
search of ice and did not
return.
How many games Martin, who led the Southeast
Section with a .466 batting
average last year, is out
remains to be seen.

out, popped it back in and
hes been good. It would
really hurt to lose him.

Year-after-year hes probably one of the best leadoff
hitters in the league.
Despite the loss of
Martin, the As remained
focused on stepping up and
taking it to the Generals

early.

Nelson Raisbeck, who was
running for Martin. Chris
Lund then singled, Dane

Schultz was hit by a pitch
and Christian Stokstad
walked to load the bases
for Kyle Bates who plated a run when he was hit
by pitch. Brian Wilberg
followed, doubling in a

walked to score another
and Ben Hildebrandt singled in the final run in a

Riffle returns to

Stoughtons Winder Fuentes tries to turn a double play with Jeffersons Justin Thiede making a hard slide in the
sixth inning. Stoughton only got one out on the play and Thiede ended up with a trip to the ER after gettting
spiked on the play. The Merchants won the game 4-3.
One of the weirdest seasons

in recent Stoughton Merchants
memory threw fans another curveball last weekend as the team
brought back former starting
pitcher Ben Riffle midseason.
The addition couldnt have come
at a much better time for Stoughton, which had been without
starter Erick Sperloen for all but
a couple innings the last three
weeks.
Reenergized by Riffle and
playing solid defensively, the
Merchants did enough offensively to hold off Jefferson 4-3.
The victory improved the Merchants to 5-4 in the West Division of the Southeast Section and
kept the teams playoff hopes
alive.
We kind of shot ourselves
in the foot, struggling to score
runs and dropping a couple big
games, manager Dale Seffens said. Adding another
good pitcher should really help,

though.
An Oregon native, Riffle spent
six seasons with the Merchants
before returning home to help
get the upstart Orioles off the
ground. Over the past two-anda-half seasons Riffle helped the
Orioles to their first playoff win,
as the eighth seed upset top-seeded Verona two years ago.
I just needed a change. Baseball wasnt fun for the first time
ever, and luckily we were able
to make the change, Riffle said.
Oregon needs those young guys
to take the team over and make it
their own anyway, relying on the
older guys just wasnt working.
While Riffle didnt know he
could change teams during the
season, he started a conversation
with his former manager Dale
Seffens and Brett Klitzke about
rejoining Stoughton next season
last week.
If I got my release from Oregon signed before July 1, then I

The As lead ballooned

to 7-1 in the fourth when
Bates scored Lund with
a shallow single to right
field. Utica left two runners on base in the inning,
however, as Fort Atkinson
began its comeback with
eight runs over the final
five innings.
D o u g Vi k e s t h r o w
pulled Bates off the bag
in the top of the fifth,
allowing Generals leadoff hitter Nick Raether to
reach base safely.
Sam Hartwick followed
that up with a hit to right
center field where Lund
called for but lost the
ball. The Generals then
loaded the bases with a
bunt up the third baseline
before Dan Dean singled
home a pair of runs.
A pitch hit Josh Crandall in the sixth and
Raether singled him home
two batters later to pull
the Generals within three
at 7-4.
Uticas Wilberg singled
in a third run in the sixth,
though, while Gartzke
hammered a two-run double to left center field to
help the As push their
lead back to 10-4.
We knew Fort Atkinson was going to score
runs, we just tried to get
out to a good start, Wilberg said. They kept
chipping away, but we
were able to add a few
to keep the pressure on
them. It was a big win for
us.
Fort Atkinson remained
in the game thanks to a
two-run single by Nate
Pfeifer following a Wilberg error at third.
The As were able to
push their lead back to
five as Lund doubled to
drive in Vike. Utica loaded the bases only to see
its final two hitters of the
inning to strike out.
Fort Atkinson started
off the top of the eighth
inning with two singles
and a walk to load the
bases before Bates came
on to pitch.
Jacob Soriano and Tyler
Sexton promptly drew
back-to-back walks to
pull the Generals within
three runs, 11-8.
B r y a n Wa l l a c e t h e n
grounded into a double
play to plate another run
before Bates struck out

Crandall to get out off the
inning.
The As had a shot to
widen the two-run deficit
in the eighth thanks to a
Gartzke single and a Hildebrandt walk, but were
left stranded.
Utica retired Fort
Atkinson in order in the
top of the ninth thanks to
a pair of pop outs to Hildebrandt at shortstop and
a sliding grab by Gartzke in foul territory up the
right field line.
Schultz threw sev en innings, allowing six
earned runs on 14 hits,
two walks and three hit
batters. Bates allowed
no earned runs in two
innings of relief for the
save.
Dane ran out of gas,
but threw a good game if
it werent for our errors,
Dale Vike said. Kyle
did a nice job once he
settled in, but I almost
took another walk to the
mound after he walked
the first two he faced.
Its hard to come into
the game with the bases
loaded.
Utica (7-3) sits 1
games behind Albion
(9-2) for first place in
the West Division of the
Southeast Section. The
loss dropped Fort Atkinson to 9-1 atop the East
Division.
The As travel to Evansville for a 1p.m. game
Sunday against the Jays
(0-9).
Weve got a lot of big
games left against McFarland, Albion and Stought o n , D a l e Vi k e s a i d .
Well see how it goes.

Riffle closed the door.
Riffle went the distance,
allowing three earned runs
on seven hits. He struck
out six and walking three.
Ike Roth took the loss for
Jefferson, giving up four
earns runs on hits its. He
struck out four and walked
one.
Maurice, Wenzel and
DiPrizio all finished 2-for3, while Hanson went
2-for-4.

I guess (Kris) Rosholt did
it last year, which is how
Dale found out, Riffle
said. Jeff Spiwak, Ryan
Hoodjer and Sam Schretenthaler understand why I did
it, but theyre the only ones
I talked to besides Kurt.
Once I found out I
could come back this year,
there was really no point in
staying around and wasting the rest of the year.
All seven runs came in
the first couple of innings
of what was a great defensive game with only one
error.

Jefferson scored a run
in the first inning on a
bases-loaded sacrifice fly,
but Stoughton answered
with two runs in the bottom of the first and never
looked back. Winder Fuentes fielders choice drove
in the first run and T.J.
DiPrizio singled to plate
another.
The Blue Devils knotted
the score at 2-2 with an
RBI single in the second
but once again the Merchants answered as Simon

singled and doubled in a
run, respectively.

Bonding before birth
Bonjour Baby Ultrasound offers expectant parents a sneak peek

SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN
Bonjour Baby 3D/4D

Ultrasound
Theres a new studio in

downtown Stoughton, but it
uses sound waves instead of
light.
Their camera is an ultrasound scanner, and their subjects are still in utero.
Bonjour Baby 3D/4D
Ultrasound gives expectant families the opportunity to say hello to their baby
(or babies) and bond before
birth. Along with printed or
electronic two-dimensional
or 3-D images, clients can
also take home the 4-D
videos of the recorded session on DVD.
The idea for their family-owned and operated business started about five years
ago, when owners Nick and
Amy Allen studied diagnostic medical sonography
together in their home state
of California.
During laboratory classes in college, their website
explains, Nick was scanning
Amy while she was pregnant
with their daughter, Sawyer
(who will turn 4 in September).
We were able to watch
our baby grow and see her
at every stage, Nick said.
Bringing a family closer to
their unborn child was
something my wife and I
experienced first hand. We
knew, right then, that we
needed to bring this to other

expecting parents.
The Allens moved to
Stoughton a year-and-a-half
ago, and they saved up to
purchase ultrasound equipment and the former law
office at 113 E. Main St. for
the future home of Bonjour
Baby. They spent a month
renovating the building and
continue to add modern
furnishings that give off a
warm vibe.
Amy said what sets their

business apart from franchise operations that offer
similar services is the downto-earth way Bonjour Baby
interacts with its clients.
The non-clinical atmosphere of the colorful registration and waiting area
is further conveyed in the
scanning room. Entire families are invited in that room
during the visit to relax on
Similar to portrait photography sessions, Bonjour Baby

3D/4D Ultrasound offers different packages ranging from
just a few minutes to listen to the heartbeat early on (when
the fetus is about the size of a peanut) up to about an hour
to determine the sex (between 15-36 weeks).
Nick and Amy Allen, who are certified and registered
sonographers, said elective ultrasounds should never
replace a complete medical diagnostic ultrasound with a
prenatal care provider. All clients must be at least 8 weeks
pregnant and be under the care of a primary physician.
Bonjour Baby can tell people estimated due dates or
how far along they are based on the same measurements a
doctor would or ultrasound technician at a hospital, Nick
said. But were strictly here for entertainment.
Nick said hes made calls to bakeries that fill cakes with
either pink and blue frosting for gender reveal parties,
while Amy often writes down boy or girl on a slip of
paper so couples can choose when the sex is no longer a
secret.
Bonjour Baby also sells handmade bibs, swaddles
and onesies, sonogram picture frames and the popular
heartbeat animals. Clients can get their babys heartbeat recorded on a heart-shaped module that fits inside a
stuffed animal of their choice, and when squeezed it plays
the memorable sound.
In circumstances where no fetal heartbeat is detected or
they see something concerning, the Allens would refer to
the clients registration paperwork to contact their doctor
directly after the visit.
For others who have had complications with previous
pregnancies and miscarriages, Nick said, elective ultrasounds can be a joyous confirmation of doctors telling
them that in vitro fertilization worked.
Bonjour Baby will hold a free ultrasound day from
10a.m. to 5p.m. Saturday, July 30. The brief ultrasound
visit is first come, first serve and will include a black and
white photo of the baby. There will also be snacks, drinks
and a raffle to win one of the ultrasound packages.
the couch or chairs, converse

and listen to quiet music,
and kids can also keep busy
playing with toys.
We want it to be fun
and memorable, Nick said.
This is a big experience for
people.
Nick previously worked in
real estate and Amy used to
teach, but with nearly 40 clients per month since opening Feb. 15, business has
allowed the Allens to consider Bonjour Baby as their
full-time career.
While Nick created the
website, Amy designed the
companys logo and also
makes some of the handmade baby items for sale.
She said she loves the job
because its flexible enough
for her to spend time with
her family, which also
includes their 16-month-old
son, Griffin.
The Allens hope to eventually add more staff and said.
Were a good team,
branch out to other areas.
I think well own this Amy said as the couple
company forever, Nick high-fived.

South central Wisconsin,

with its array of tree and
other plant species and
obvious seasonal changes can be an arborists
playground or a major challenge. For Kyle and Emma
Mallon its both. But thats
what makes it fun.
The Mallons, owners of
Mallon Tree Service, LLC,
of Cooksville, recently
relocated to northwestern
Rock County after plying
their trades in the Milwaukee area.
Kyle Mallon has been
an arborist in the public
and private tree industry
in Southern Wisconsin for
over 10 years. Emma has
roots in Evansville, Stoughton and Cooksville.
Kyles experience with,

and passion for, trees is
the backbone and drive of
our honest and hardworking company, Emma Wilde Mallon says. With us,
What you see is what you
get.
Mallon Tree Service has
24/7 emergency services
and offers the following
services:
Tree and shrub pruning
and removals
Tree preservation and
plant health care
Emerald Ash Borer
treatment and prevention
Tree planting, future
plant management
Tree cabling and bracing
Firewood splitting and
stacking
While working full time
for others, Kyle began to
love the idea of being his
own boss. Friends and
family would ask for his
advice when it came to their

beloved trees and he began
to spend his off hours working.
He recommends treating any Ash tree on your
property that you would
hope to preserve as soon as
possible to fight the Emerald Ash Borer beetle. He
believes any standing Ash
is probably already infected, but may be able to be
saved when proper attention
is paid. He advises treating with Triage, a systemic
insecticide, which can be
injected into your tree and
is the most effective control
method of EAB.
