The city is moving ahead
with plans to build a new
public works facility next
year.
Last week, the Com-
mon Council voted 10-2
to authorize Public Works
director Brett Hebert to
continue working with
Angus-Young Associates
to design, engineer, gather
bids and oversee construc-
tion of the facility. It would
be built on roughly 13 acres

2013 to build a new facili-
ty came in at $8.3 million,
which includes Angus-

state building permits and
oversee construction.
That price tag was the
reason two alders Sid
Boersma (D-1) and Kath-
leen Tass Johnson (D-2)
voted against a resolution
authorizing the city to con-

While most of the coun-

Johnson each said they
didnt think the city could
afford such an expensive
facility.

too expensive and there are
ways to reduce the cost,

The meeting was called

the council that to start over

And more importantly, he
said, the city needs to start
work with a planning firm

actual cost and to see what
we can cut cost-wise.
Ald. Regina Hirsch (D-3)
said she supports having
a fueling station and salt
shed at the site of the new
facility because it would be
more efficient and save the
city money in the long run.

on the comprehensive plan progress.
Kettle Park West has been updated
on the land use map to reflect the lat-
est developments. Updates have also
been made to reflect changes in land
use.
While some people generally com-
mended city planners Vandewalle
and Associates for making those
updates and changes based on public
input, others said residents are still
not being heard, including Ald. Sid
Boersma (D-1).
I dont feel like we have had
enough input from citizens, and
these are concerns I have as a council
person and as a citizen, he said. We
need to have smart growth, not super
growth, but level growth.
Director of Planning and Develop-
ment Rodney Scheel says the com-
mission and council have been eager
for input, and continue to seek more
information from residents.
We havent had one comment
from the public that has said spe-
cifically where land should be
removed, he said. Those things are
specific and would be very valuable
to the commission and councilors as
we continue to debate it.

Letters to the editor

Ed Garvey gone, but not forgotten
Ed Garvey, the friend of many,
the leader of what could have
been and a good man has died,
and I am saddened.
When he and Barbara Lawton
ran for governor and lieutenant
governor in 1998, they were a fan-
tastic team that offered hope and
moxie to the people of Wisconsin.
But big money talks. Gov. Thom-
my Thompson was running for his
fourth term and as the ALEC (Am.
Legislative Exchange Council) rep-
resentative in the race, Thompson
had most of the money.
Schools and local governments
were already being financially
strangled and local control had
disappeared with the 1993 cost con-
trols to rein in unions and stop local
spending.
Here we are decades later, and
local control has been killed along
with public unions. Barbara and
Ed were right. We could have and
still can create a Wisconsin good
for families and the environment,
but not under Gov. Walker, a dour
ALEC replay in some respects of
Thompson.
I will not forget Ed in the drizzle.

The rally was set up at the small

This newspaper is printed on recycled paper.
I am writing to express my support of Tim Bubon
for Stoughton School Board in the upcoming April
4 election.
As a parent of two children in Stoughton schools
and as a teacher for over 20 years, I am keenly
interested in the quality of education in our com-
munity. Having known Tim Bubon personally for
a number of years, I can confidently attest that he
has the ability and the integrity to effectively serve
our community. From his 22-year career as both
a teacher and former administrator, Tim has the
first-hand experience crucial to making informed
decisions about teaching and learning. He will be a
strong advocate for both students and staff, with a
focus on our kids and not on politics.
Tim is also a parent of two children currently
attending Stoughton schools and is thus uniquely
qualified to understand the concerns of all stake-
holders: staff, parents, students and taxpayers. In
the midst of the many attacks to our public school
system at both the state and national levels, Tim
will not be afraid to speak up for what is in the
best interests of our students and our community,
as well as our committed and highly professional
teaching and support staff.
Stoughton residents are fortunate to have Tim
Bubon running in the April 4 election for the Board
of Education.

Senior centers are changing the way ser-
vices are provided to seniors, and in the case
of the Verona Senior Center, a case manager
on wheels has proven to be a new, vital link
between the two.
For the past several years, case manager
Becky Losby has made regular appointments at
area senior apartment complexes, bringing her
knowledge directly to seniors, some of whom
would not otherwise participate in the centers
programming. Losby now visits seven loca-
tions around Verona each month, including the
library, and makes a point to connect with as
many seniors as she can during each visit.
That's probably the favorite part of my job, to
get out and see people in the community, she said.
You can reach a lot of people at once by
doing that, and Ive gotten to know a lot more
people. It's fun to stop in a check on somebody
and see how they're doing.
Losby said its important to get out into the
community to meet with seniors who other-
wise might not take advantage of services at the
senior center.
Theres a wide variety of people who don't
get out, so I can get them the information and
try to get them in and join an exercise size class
or come in for lunch, she said. I specifically
like connecting with the people who are may-
be isolated, because that's really important to
be able to visit with somebody who doesn't nor-
mally get a visitor; they may not have family
around here, or may not be quite as social, so
its good to see what we can do to help them.
Losby talks to seniors about a variety of top-
ics that can affect them, including Medicare
coverage, scams, or just whats going on around
town. Recently, Losby has been bringing along Page 14
city alders, firefighters and police officers to
provide updates on whats going in Verona, as
well as tips on safety.
Verona Senior Center director Mary Hanson Activities
said being able to bring those people directly to
seniors helps create more familiar faces for
them, and creates an important bond of trust Volunteering as an

Empowering seniors
Pilot program connects
seniors, important issues
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group
Helping seniors to make needed
changes as they face the many issues
of aging is all part of a new pilot pro-
gram at senior centers in Fitchburg
and Oregon.
The Aging Mastery program, run
by the National Council on Aging,
aims empower seniors by being them
together to talk hear and talk about
topics important to them as they age.
Several senior centers in Minnesota
and Wisconsin are piloting the pro-
gram, and the Fitchburg and Oregon
centers have teamed up to provide
courses for two years, said Fitchburg
Senior Center director Jill McHone.
We felt we would be more suc-
cessful if we drew a larger audience
rather than competed against each
other, so it's worked out really well,
she said. Last spring, Fitchburg
kicked off the first Aging Mastery
program Oregon did the fall, and the
our new spring program starts here
March 22.
The 10-week course covers a wide
range of topics, including exercise,
sleep, healthy eating and hydration,
financial fitness, medication manage-
ment, advance planning, healthy rela-
tionships, fall prevention and com-
munity engagement. Students are
given weekly homework assign-
ments to help them retain what they
learn.
It's a series of issues that older
adults face as they age, and it really

empowers them to make small little
changes and maintain those chang-
es as they move through aging pro-
cess, McHone said. The program
incorporates a lot of evidence-based
information and we get speakers
for each topic, to incorporate some of
that information and present that to
the participants.
Better together
McHone said the program has
received really good feedback
from participants so far, including
some aspects she hadnt considered
before.
We really found it brought new
people in and people really enjoyed
the camaraderie of the class, because
they met new people they had time
to discuss some of the ups and down
they are going through with the aging
process, she said. That camara-
derie was a big surprise to me - that
was one of the main things people
enjoyed, being with this group every
single week, talking about their
homework, and what they are expe-
riencing relating to the topic being
presented.

Volunteering as an older adult

How to find the right fit
for your new lifestyle
Many parents feel involving
their children in volunteering at
an early age can have a profound,
long-lasting impact on their kids.
But youngsters are not the only
ones who can reap great rewards
from volunteering, as studies show
that men and women at, beyond or
approaching retirement age also
benefit greatly from volunteer
work.
Research from the Corpora-
tion for National and Community
Service found that more than 20
million older adults contributed
in excess of three billion hours of
community service time each year
from 2011 to 2013.
The reasons why older adults
volunteer are varied, but in its
2014 survey the AARPs Experi-
ence Corps found that 97 percent
of its volunteers indicated that
their volunteer work with the orga-
nization gave them a sense of pur-
pose.
Older adults who want to vol-
unteer but have little or no history
with volunteering might not know
where to begin with regard to find-
ing the right opportunity. The right
fit can make all the difference for
volunteers and the people they
help, and the following tips might
help older adults as they look for
an opportunity that best utilizes
their skills and experience.
Know your schedule. Older
adults who are still working but
want to volunteer may have a firm
grasp on their schedules, but even
retirees should not overestimate
Many older adults feel that volunteer work gives them a sense of purpose, whether its helping at local blood
drives or coaching a grandchilds soccer team.
how much time they have to volun-
teer. Before you begin to look for
an opportunity, write down your
commitments and daily schedule,
using this list to determine how
much free time you have to vol-
unteer. Some opportunities require
greater time commitments than
others, so make sure you know just
how much time you can devote to
an opportunity before signing up.
Give due consideration to
your experience. Older adults
who have retired or are on the
cusp of retirement have a lifetime
of experience they can use to help
others.
Imparting wisdom learned in
your professional life can provide
a sense of purpose and even make
you feel as though you are still
actively involved in the industry
where you built your profession-
al reputation.
Photo by Metro News Service
But life experience can also prove
invaluable in volunteering oppor-
tunities.
Mentoring programs give vol-
unteers the chance to help young
people, and such opportunities can
involve more than just offering
professional advice.
Dont downplay the signifi-
cance of certain opportunities.
Volunteering opportunities come
Tips for
volunteering
Know your schedule
Consider your experience
Know each role has merit
Take time to relax
in many variations, and each is
significant in its own right. Coach-
ing a grandchilds soccer team can
have as significant an impact on
the people you help as other vol-
unteering opportunities. Volun-
teers offer their time because they
have a passion to help others, and
that help can be given in a myriad
of ways.
Leave time for the rest of
your life. Volunteering is a selfless
act, and volunteers are the back-
bone of many successful charita-
ble organizations. But older men
and women should leave time for
the rest of their lives as well.
Retirement should be fulfill-
ing but also include time for rec-
reation, so dont downplay how
important hobbies are to you in an
attempt to find more time to vol-
unteer. No retiree wants to grow
resentful of his or her volunteer
work because it leaves little time
for other pursuits, so do your best
to balance your charitable endeav-
ors with the other things in life that
matter to you.

Eat healthy at age 50 and beyond
A balanced diet is an
integral element of a
healthy lifestyle for men,
women and children alike.
But while kids and young
adults might be able to get
away with an extra cheese-
burger here or there, men
and women approaching 50
have less leeway.
According to the National
Institute on Aging, simply
counting calories without
regard for the foods being
consumed is not enough
for men and women 50
and older to maintain their
long-term health. Rather,
the NIA emphasizes the
importance of choosing
low-calorie foods that have
a lot of the nutrients the
body needs.
But counting calories can
be an effective and simple
way to maintain a healthy
weight, provided those cal-
ories are coming from nutri-
ent-rich foods. The NIA
advises men and women
over 50 adhere to the daily
calorie intake recommenda-
tions (shown in the chart) as
they attempt to stay healthy
into their golden years.
When choosing foods to
eat, the NIA recommends
eating many different colors
and types of vegetables and

their high school careers with first-

Senior Aly Weum and junior Cas-

Head coach Brad Pickett said that
team success was a big factor in get-
ting four girls on the list, and that is
something expected in the Badger
South, which is not just loaded with
individual talent but also has a lot of
good teams.
Stoughton made the D2 sectionals
this season, and Monroe finished as a
D2 state semifinalist. Madison Edge-

The girls will be the first ones to
say that they wouldnt be on the list
without the other three teammates on
the list and the other players on the

Robson (6-foot-1 forward), who is
a University of Northern Iowa recruit,
finished with 364 points and shot 55
percent from the floor (131-for-238).
She also added 174 rebounds, includ-

She also was able to knock down
seven of 19 3-pointers despite playing
mostly in the post.

things to the table, especially with her
