on the sidewalk.
Also, to attract more young
families to Stoughton, we need to
increase biking and recreational
opportunities not take them
away or make them less safe! My
family relocated to Stoughton
two-and-a-half years ago. Among
the reasons we chose Stoughton
over other towns in the area were
the recreational opportunities. We
intentionally bought a house on a
bike route with bike lanes. Bicycles have the legal right to share
the road with motor vehicles and
will continue to do so if the lanes
are removed, but at an increased
risk to both. Please support bike
lanes for the safety of all and to
keep Stoughton attractive to new
families.

Corrections
On the Aug. 18 business page, a brief incorrectly stated that
barber Arne Dullum will retire in December. Dullum will actually
retire in late September.
Another article in last weeks issue about Stoughton Hospitals
mobile doc technology incorrectly said that Dr. Graham Adsit
works for Dean Healthcare. He is in fact the Chief Medical Officer
for BEAM Healthcare.
The Hub regrets the errors.

Gluten-free choices
Stick to plain, simple foods, which are mostly found in the outer aisle
of the grocery store, including anything labeled gluten-free, corn, unprocessed dairy products, legumes, nuts, eggs, fish, plain fruits, vegetables,
meats or poultry, rice, vegetable oils and vinegar (except malt vinegar)
Safe grains and flours include Amaranth, Any flour made from nuts,

Individuals with celiac disease
must follow a gluten-free diet.
Its extremely restrictive. You can
imagine how difficult it would be
to cut out anything likely to contain
gluten, particularly for children.
Not only would it include all
foods containing wheat, rye or
barley, but any foods that are often
cross-contaminated, such as most
oats, and processed foods like hot
dogs, French fries, candy, soy sauce
and cold cuts.
Unnecessarily restricting gluten
in your childs diet can cause a loss
of important nutrients like iron and
B vitamins children normally get
from enriched and fortified foods
like cereals, bread and pasta. And
then theres the psychological and
social challenges of following a
gluten-free diet at birthday parties, play dates, school snack time
and school lunches.
However, when children with
celiac disease do give up gluten,
their growth returns to normal and
their symptoms improve rather
quickly.
If you suspect your child has
celiac or NCGS, I recommend
having your child screened by your
health-care provider before going
gluten-free.

A persons position in society or in an organization doesnt always correlate with his or her moral
stature. The CEO of the company is sometimes a
jerk while the cleaning lady or the guy who runs
the mailroom may be the nicest person youd ever
meet. The ambition which it takes to get to high
places may induce some people to cut corners or
treat others poorly, whereas the person who does
the so-called menial work may realize that she
serves others and thus act accordingly. There is a
spiritual lesson here which it behooves us to pay
attention to. That is, we should be willing to do
menial work and also be willing to associate with
lowly people. People who work in the caring
professions (doctors, nurses, teachers and social
workers, among others) know that everyone has
their cross to bear, and even the lowliest among
us have a story to tell. So take time to hear their
story and dont be afraid to associate with the lowly.
Angels have been known to come among us in the
form of wayfaring strangers.

Keepers offer regular updates to families about the elders well-being and with that, assurance
that the elder is receiving the best possible care.
In addition to peace of mind, home care providers can deliver a wide range of services, working
with elders and their families to create care plans that meet their specific needs. These individual
care plans allow elders the opportunity to age in place, safely and securely. In-home care services
provide support to help preserve elders' dignity and independence as well.
Homecare offers housekeeping and personal care services. Housekeeping services include light

transportation, laundry service, meal preparation and more. Personal care services include bathing, mobility assistance,
transferring and positioning, toileting and incontinence, oral hygiene and feeding and special diet assistance. There may
not be an immediate need for all of these services now, but the great thing about home care is that it offers plenty of options
that can be added or modified as needs change all in the comfort of home.

Stoughton football team opened
the season with a 12-7 victory over
DeForest.
Stoughton scored both of its touchdowns in the first half and remained
ahead by five until the game was postponed by lightning 51 seconds into
the fourth quarter.
Following a lengthy delay, the
Vikings were eventually named victors by a rarely unused defaul rule in
which the team leading in the fourth
quarter is awarded the victory following a dealy of 45 minutes.
The ADs from both schools and
the officials got together, and agreed
to call the game, Stoughton head
coach Dan Prahl said. I was caught
off-guard. I know as a coach, we
always want to finish the game.

Ready to redevelop
City officials hope to acquire
as much of the 16 acres targeted
for redevelopment as possible to
enhance the citys historic downtown, strengthen existing businesses and draw more people to the
city.
The target area lies between
Fourth Street and Eighth Street
and is bounded by South Street
and the Yahara River.
The city has purchased 2.25
acres at 501 E. South St., the site

The city owns property off
Racetrack Road, where it plans
to someday build a public works
facility to replace the garage on
Fourth Street.
Sveum said if the citys offer is
approved by the court, the city has
made arrangements to have the
redevelopment area surveyed.
He said the city is looking to
acquire more property there,
including an abandoned carpet
warehouse that went through foreclosure earlier this summer.
Ive been in touch with the
lienholder, Associated Bank, and
gave that representative an idea of
what our interest is in the area,

Its a good thing for the
city, Lynch said of the land
dedication and easement.
Were starting the trail at
Amundson Park and it stays
in a wooded area where it
enters the Skaalen property. Itll make a pretty short
path through their property
and then it would come out
at the bottom of a hill and
connect with the hospitals
trail.
The City of Stoughton
has been developing and
maintaining the Yahara River Trail since the late 1980s.
We have an estimate of
approximately $55,000 for
a paved section between
Amundson Park and the
beginning of the trail on
Stoughton Hospital property, Lynch said.
Because the timing and
opportunity for this project
falls out of the citys Capital Improvement Plan timetable, Lynch said, the city
would seek funding from
Dane County to match a
grant provided by the Bryant Foundation for the trail
project.

Davises: Couple fought for progressive candidates, ideals locally and elsewhere
Continued from page 1
Weve had this passion that says, I have the time and
energy and am not going to sit back.
philosophy is that if you have
good health and are fortunate
enough to have a family that valued education, and were able to
achieve a good education at public expense, then you owe a lot
back to the community.
Much of Kays volunteering
involved joining local foundations, clubs and boards. She
served on the Stoughton Hospital
Board of Directors, the Commission on Aging, the Housing Advocacy Team and the Community
Foundation, among others.
Like her husband, she was driven by a desire to give back to the
community, while simultaneously working to build a strong one.
Its real easy to be critical
when things arent going the way
that you think is best for the community, she said. Its easy to sit
back and let someone else do the
work. Weve had this passion that
says, I have the time and energy
and am not going to sit back.
Organizing at home
Kay began working for Stoughton schools in 1977, first as an
assistant principal at the high
school and later, for 18 years, as
the districts director of instruction.
It was her job that brought
the couple to Stoughton, where
theyve lived for 35 years and
raised their son, Brett.
Buzz recalled working long
hours in Madison as a planning
analyst for the state until he

DemsAndProgressives
Kay Davis
retired in 2000.
As an assistant principal, Kay
also worked many hours and often
had night meetings to attend.
She slid off the road in an ice
storm at 10:30 at night, Buzz
remembered. Fortunately, we
found a farmer that could get
the car out of the ditch and Kay
wasnt hurt. Then we thought this
doesnt make sense why dont
we just move closer to all your
night work?
The couple was always politically active, working to get progressive and liberal candidates
elected to the state legislature as
well as national office. Closer to
home, they did the same with the
city council, Buzz said.
They joined the Stoughton Area
Democrats in 1980, but it wasnt
until about a decade later that
they launched an effort to fight
a conservative thrust to get religious candidates elected to school
boards across the country, the
Davises recalled.
By then, Buzz had become well
known as a political activist.
Kay said her activism began
locally trying to recruit good
school board candidates.
Right-wing icon Phyllis Schlafly had organized Americans for
Excellence in Education, a group
that wanted the Bible taught in
public schools.
As a professional educator, that
didnt sit well with Kay or her
husband.
We put on miles and miles trying to recruit throughout the community, she said.
She noted that the three couples being recognized Saturday
by Stoughton Area Democrats
the Stouts, the Soderblooms and
the Davises pulled together
and said, What can we do? This
doesnt make sense.
We knew there were good
people out there who consider
all the children from many different backgrounds, she added.
Thats where the energy from the
Stoughton Area Dems was directed.
We recruited Republicans and
Democrats and independents who
felt the focus should be on youth
and education, not pushing a
religious political agenda, Buzz
added. Over a two- or three-year
period, we had an entirely new
school board.
Wal-Mart battles
Buzz is locally famous or
infamous for organizing opposition to Wal-Mart building a
Supercenter here. He and his
cohorts ultimately failed in that
effort, a result he attributes to an
apathetic public and elected officials who think they know better
than the citizens.
He noted that despite an advisory referendum that showed a
majority of residents opposed to
a new larger Wal-Mart and especially using tax-increment financing to facilitate the development
of Kettle Park West, the Common
Council was evenly divided over
the matter for months.
The council deadlock allowed
Mayor Donna Olson to vote
repeatedly to continue pushing
the project forward, and the new
Wal-Mart (along with a host of
other commercial buildings) is
now under construction.
Its very difficult to get people who are progressives and
liberals and Democrats off of
their derrires and into doing
something in their own community, Buzz opined. And so
the reason the wonderful big
KPW: DOT has so far refused to allow access to councils preferred location
farther west on Hwy. 138.
The councils decision
came in spite of the developer and city officials telling
the council that Wisconsin
Department of Transportation officials are more likely to approve a connection
further west of the development than one with Oak
Opening Drive.
So far, the DOT has
refused to allow access at
that location because of
Oak Openings proximity
to a roundabout and other
driveway connections to the
highway at the Wal-Mart
Supercenter, which is under
construction and expected to
open next year.
Dennis Steinkraus, project
manager for Forward Development Group, said FDG
would ask for help funding
for the roadway improvements.
While no formal request
for tax-increment financing has been made, he said
FDG could seek from $1.5
million to $2 million for the
public improvements less
for option 2.
The city provided about
$4.5 million in TIF for the
public improvements related
to development of KPWs
commercial center, which
is being anchored by the
153,000-square-foot WalMart Supercenter.
In brief
Council reaffirms previous decision on Phase 2
development
Developer must receive
DOT approval for Oak Opening connection to Hwy. 138
Second option OK with
some
DOT more likely to approve second option than
Oak Opening
Request for more TIF
anticipated
Options
The first option extending Oak Opening Drive
directly south to the highway is already included
in the citys comprehensive
plan and a detailed neighborhood plan the city adopted. Its also in the developers preliminary plat.
The second option is
favored by the DOT but
would take more time to
accomplish, Steinkraus
said. It would require the
More TIF?
The developer has another hurdle for Phase 2, as
well. In response to a question from Swadley, Steinkraus said FDG would seek
financial assistance for public roadway improvements.
Majewski told the
developer he is probably
not likely to get the councils approval for more TIF,
but other members of the
body did not comment on
the prospect of more financial assistance.
TIF is a public financing
method that is used as a
subsidy for redevelopment,
infrastructure, and other
community-improvement
projects by providing initial
funding and later capturing
property tax revenue from
all taxing jurisdictions (the
city, county, state, MATC
and the school district) of
the newly developed property. TIF creates funding
for projects by borrowing
against the future increase
in the property-tax revenues.
