Stoughton honors Memorial Day

Stoughton residents gathered downtown for the Memorial Day parade on Monday.
Immediately following the parade was a program at the Mandt Center that was dedicated
to Carl Sampson, who read the Gettysburg Address for 72 consecutive years from 1944-
2016.

City of Stoughton Graduation: Ceremony will feature four student speakers
Senior facility approved Continued from page 1

BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group
The developer of a 100-
unit senior living facility in
Kettle Park West plans to
begin construction soon fol-
lowing the Common Coun-
cils approval last week of a
conditional use permit.
The Planning Commis-
sion had previously approved
the project site plan, so the
Madison-based develop-
er, Iconica Creates, has the
go-ahead to begin building
the 51,500-square-foot facil-
ity at 2600 Jackson St.
Iconica spokeswoman
Rachel Pientka appeared
before the council at its May
23 meeting and, in response
to a question from council
president Tim Swadley, said
the facility would be worth
approximately $16 million
and would offer 79 units of
independent and assisted liv-
ing, along with 21 memory
care units.
She said the facility would
employ about 30 people,
including a nursing staff of
22 and five to 10 full-time
administrative staff mem-
bers.
Pientka added that res-
idents in the independent
living part of the building
would pay about $3,000 per
month in rent, while those
in assisted living would pay
closer to $3,700 and would
receive three meals a day.
Memory care units would
start at $4,800 per month.
Swadley (D-1) commented
that the project is being led
by a quality developer, and
noted it would add property
value to the citys tax base.
But he also said in the future
hed like city staff to provide
more financial information
so that we know it makes
sense for the city economi-
cally.
He said hed like to know
how such developments
affect the citys fire, police
and EMS budgets.
Ald. Tom Majewski (D-2)
agreed, saying hes con-
cerned that too many assist-
ed living facilities can have
hidden costs to the citys
EMS and public safety ser-
vices.
Plans call for the senior
facility to have three sto-
ries and the memory care to
be one story, with parking
that wraps around the entire
building. The site would also
feature a large courtyard on
the south side of the building,
giving residents access to
walking paths, a bocce ball
court and a putting green.
Ald. Scott Truehl (D-4)
said he was excited about
the project and liked that the
developer is incorporating a
Scandinavian design scheme
into the building to fit in with
the rest of the city.
The council approved the
CUP on a 10-1 vote, with
Ald. Kathleen Tass Johnson
(D-2) casting the dissenting
vote.

purchase their work, and
live music.
Weve got all kinds of
different mediums at this
festival almost everything
you can imagine, said pho-
tographer Mike Engelberg-
er, a member of 14 South
Artists.
Chief organizer Susan
Liimatta, also a member
of 14 South Artists, told
the Hub that
Stoughton is
the perfect
location for
an event like
this.
Its hap-
pening in the
historic cen- Liimatta
ter of the city,
and with all these boutique
galleries and restaurants,
the Opera House and Livs-
reise, theres so much great
stuff going on right now,
she said. It seemed like
the perfect opportunity for
this.
Liimatta, a quilt mak-
er whose work will be
displayed at Stoughton
Antique Mall, explained
that 14 South Artists felt it
was time to retire the Fall
Studio Tour. The annual
event began in 2003 and
offered art enthusiasts a
chance to visit art studios
throughout southern Dane
and northern Rock counties.
The artists group in
December decided to dis-
continue the studio tour and
instead sponsor something
similar in Stoughtons Arts
and Entertainment District.
Liimatta said the group
knew it would need the par-
ticipation of local business-
es to make the Art Walk a
success, and so they went
door-to-door in the dis-
trict and came away with
13 sponsors and 27 venues
where the artists will dis-
play and sell their work.
At some locations, theyll
demonstrate skills such as
metal jewelry stamping,
wool spinning, or 3-D metal
printing and finishing.
RDA design charrette overlaps Art Walk
Mike Engleberger, a Dist. 2 alder on the
Common Council and member of 14 South
Artists, told the Hub that Art Walk Stough-
ton will coincide with the Redevelopment
Authoritys riverfront redevelopment design
charrette, which is taking place from Friday to
Sunday at the EMS building on Fourth Street.
The RDA is going to share our (14 South

Watercolor artist Tom Kuchenbecker will bring paintings like
his Good Moo to You from Madison to the Art Walk.
We started talking about
doing something new in
December, and its pret-
ty amazing whats hap-
pened, Liimatta observed.
We approached the local
businesses and said, Wed
like to offer more to the
people who come than art
and shopping. What can
you showcase about your
business to bring people to
Stoughton?
Among the demonstra-
tions and special events is a
pottery wheel speed-throw-
ing challenge at Green
Road Pottery on Main
Street. A childrens art
project will take place at
The Next Generation, and
jewelry making techniques
and metal jewelry stamp-
ing will be demonstrated at
Diakonos Designs, where
painter Tom Kuchenbecker
will also display his art.
Other demonstrations
include wool spinning and
felting at Spry Whimsy,
and rug punching and nee-
dle punch at A Day in the
Country.
Liimatta said she was
surprised to learn that an

Opera House, he said. Its going to be a

hoping for a big turnout and participation, not
only for the Art Walk but also the charrette.

corner of Forrest Street and East Main Street.

Congrats on getting this far.

You still have a long way to go! Please take these
little words of advice and carry them with you.

The world owes you nothing.
Pull up your pants.

Listen 2 times as much as you speak.
Give of yourself.

Dont settle for second.
If you cant wear it to your grandmas house,
dont wear it.

whatever you choose to do. God Bless!

were capable of playing
and we liked our draw in
the next game as well.
Stoughton rallied twice
to pull with a run, but nev-
er drew even, falling 4-2
in the WIAA Division 1
regional semifinals.
Viking senior Madisyn
Robinson and junior Mol-

to lead off the top of the
fourth inning. Robinson
was caught in a run down

as Fort Atkinson threw the
ball way.
Blachhawks ace Ashlyn
Brandl buckled down and
got out of the inning with-
out any further damage,
inducing Kayley Novotny
and Morgan Dunkleberger
to ground out.
Stoughton allowed one
more run in the home half
of the fourth when Katie

double and came around
to score two outs later on
a Dunkleberger single to

Brandl earned the win

Stoughton dropped nine
straight games to open the
season but rallied to finish
3-9 in conference and won
three of its last six games
leading into the playoffs.
We got off to a rocky
start this season but we
fought through it, Novot-
ny said.
I think this year was
less about winning and
losing, and more about
team chemistry and learn-
ing who to play together as
a team.
Neuenfeld, Novotny and
Robinson were the first
group of seniors to be with
the program all four years

was a four-year starter.
Those three girls have
meant a lot to this program
and will leave some big
shoes to fill, Siget said.
They were a big part of
our infield, playing first
and second base.
They were also part of

Girls track: Weum makes it to WIAA Division 1 state meet in three events
Continued from page 13
Division 1 state meet at UW-La
Crosse.
I am really looking forward to
what they can do in the week to
come, coach Eric Benedict said.
It is a great group of girls, and I
am overjoyed with how they ran
tonight.
Starting with the 4x800 relay,
Weum anchored senior Clea Roe,
sophomore Alex Ashworth and
sophomore Abby Kittleson to first
in 9 minutes, 30.72 seconds, beating
out state qualifiers Kenosha Trem-
per (9:42.7) and Janesville Craig
(9:53.29).
That time is currently ranked sixth
in Division 1 on the Wisconsin girls
high school track and field honor
roll, with only three seconds separat-
ing the third through eighth teams on
the list.
Weum, who anchored the team,
had a choice of running on the relay
or running the open 800, but when
coach Nate Nelson told her they
were seeded first before sectional
times came in, Weum said she knew
the team which includes alternates
sophomore Margaret Ross and fresh-
man Grace Jenny has potential to
do something special at state.
We have a chance to do some big
things, Weum said. So I am hoping
with those girls, we make the podi-
um, as well.
Weum will also be running in the
Boys track: 4x800 relay sets new Stoughton High School record
Continued from page 13
The 4x800 which includes
alternates senior Jacob Tobie and
junior Ian Bormett is now seeded
third on the Wisconsin boys track
and field honor roll.
Moll didnt let being tired after
the 4x800 hurt his chances in his
other events. Moll was able to race
to second in the 400 in 50.94 to
make state. Elkhorn junior Derek
Davey was first in 50.02, and Keno-
sha Bradford sophomore Ethan
King finished third in 51.0.
Nathan put a little bit more
effort into his 4x8 than we were
hoping he had to do, Kramolis
said. So I think he was kind of
tired in that open 400. But he gut-
ted out a (sub 51). He didnt have
the greatest lane to run in, so hope-
fully his lane is a little bit better (at
state).
Moll finished the meet to anchor
the 4x400 to state with McLaury,
Tobie and Roe with a third place
in 3:25.59, beating out Verona
(3:26.08) for the final state spot.
Wilmot Union (3:21.82) and Ore-
gon (3:25.27) took first and second.

title in 57.49, beating Wilmot Union
seniors Maddie Martin (57.83) and
Rachel Kostrova (58.28).
Last season, she finished in the top
three at state in the 400 and hopes
to once again make a push for the
podium. She is currently eighth on
the Wisconsin girls track honor roll,
about four seconds behind the top
seed.
I am going to go as hard as I can
in my trial to get a good spot for
the final, she said. Top three was
awesome, and I would love to do
that again. It is going to take a lot of
pushing myself.
For Weum, making it to state with
a relay team is much more special
despite her lofty goals in the 400.
That is because she can rely on her
teammates to work as hard as her
and help push and challenge her to
finish a race strong, she said.
And Weum made it to state in
a third event as the anchor in the
4x400 with senior Kendra Halver-
son, senior Maddie Posick and Ash-
worth.
Those girls finished first in
4:02.37, beating Wilmot Union
(4:04.35) and Beloit Memorial
(4:04.75).
It makes it feel all rewarding, the
super tough workouts, Weum said.
To be able to line up with those
and Posick loved it.
with those girls is an amazing feeling
because we are all so deserving.
The Vikings showed depth all sea-
son, winning their seventh straight
alternates senior Jackson Hampton
and Jenny was in a tight race for
the final two spots in the last two
legs. Tobie ran a career best split
that helped Moll get out into sec-
ond.
But Moll needed to give it an
extra push to end up in third.
I was in second there for a
while, and I was going to do every-
thing I could just to keep my spot,
Moll said. Oregon passed me there
but we got our guys to state, and
that is all that matters.
For Moll, getting to state with
relay teammates is better than mak-
ing it in an open event.
Bringing other guys to state is
a great time, Moll said. It is a lot
more fun being able to hang out
with a bunch of guys instead of just
going by yourself. Good times are
coming.
The 4x100 relay of junior Jake
Deutsch, sophomore Dwight Walk-
er, McHone and DiBenedetto also
made state with a third place in
43.43, beating out Madison La
Follette (43.74) for the final spot.
Kenosha Indian Trail (43.31) and
WIlmot Union (43.42) finished first
and second.
Kramolis said the 4x100 relay
hoping for tough weather.
That ties in with his men-
tality and attitude that he has
when hes playing, Taeb-
el said. He doesnt let stuff
bother him, stuff that he cant

next shot. Overall, he is such a

Stoughton travels to UW-La
Crosse Friday and Saturday for
the WIAA Division 1 state track
and field meet. The top six in
each event reach the podium.
The events begin at 4:30p.m.
Friday. Stoughtons 4x800 will
run in the finals, and the 100,
200, 400, 4x100 and 4x400

with that, Kramolis said. I am just
hoping with thousands of people
watching, that doesnt get them too
nervous.
DiBenedetto made state in the
100 with a second place in 11.2.
Kenosha Indian Trail sophomore
Jaylen Grant (11.19) and Madi-
son La Follette senior Alex Sims
(11.27) were first and third.
Kramolis said DiBenedetto was
angry that he didnt earn a section-

Beloit Memorial senior Eva Laun-
Smith (37-9) and Madison La Fol-
lette sophomore Kiara Lee (37-5 1/2)
took first and second.
I definitely had to get into the
right mentality, Lonnebotn said. I
had to think about how bad I wanted
to get back there after an injury and
just really focused and listened to my
coach.
Lonnebotn said it is a special
feeling to be able to get back to La
Crosse, and now she has an even
higher goal, looking at the school
record of 37-1/4 set by Brianna
Bower in 2011.
Lonnebotn is currently seeded
eighth on the honor roll, and if she
broke the school record, would have
a possibility of making the podium.
It is just awesome because it is
the one sport I have really connect-
ed with, and it is kind of a different
event, Lonnebotn said. I am really
passionate about it, and I am hoping
to break the school record at state. It
is just one more step.
Wozniak will be making her sec-
ond trip to state in the 3,200. She
took second in 11:29.07. Janesville
Craig junior Peyton Sippy finished
first in 11:17.21, and Delavan-Darien
senior Erin Song took third in
11:31.47.

Benedict said. She knew where she
needed to place, and she ended up
kicking it pretty strong at the end and

Jordan, he wants to be the fast-
est, and I hope he is hungry for it,
Kramolis said. I can see him get-
ting on the podium if he has a real-
ly, really good day.
McHone was able to get back
to state in the 200 with a second
place in 22.63. Madison La Follette
senior Samba Diallo (22.46) and
Janesville Craig junior Alijah Jones
(23.11) finished first and third.
I am just pretty excited,
McHone said. I came off the
curve pretty fast. I was in first off
the curve and could just see it with
about 80 meters left. I just wanted
it really bad. The guy from La Fol-
lette passed me right at the end, but
I just really wanted to go this year.
McHone said he hopes to get into
the low 22s at state to give him the
best chance to finish in the top six.
I am pretty sure I can do it,
McHone said. I am pretty con-
fident in it. I just have to get one
really good race with everything
put together, finish strong and start
strong. I really just want to make
the podium and make the finals.

Grants: Change in Kindergarten curriculm yields lower negative behavior

Continued from page 1
demands placed on kin-
dergarten students have
increased in the last decade,
resulting in increased anxi-
ety and behavior issues and
lower social and emotional
skills.
These stressors go
against a childs natural
impulse to learn, and we
wanted to bring back the
wonder and curiosity to
school, she said.
Teaming up
All three have back-
grounds teaching preschool
students, so when Alexander
approached her colleagues
about radically changing
how they teach, they eagerly
agreed.
This has always been in
the back of my mind how
do we get back to what kin-
dergarten should look like,
and thats developmentally
appropriate, she said.
When Alexander sat down
to write the grant, she didnt
think it had much chance of
success.
(I thought) Oh, theyre
going to laugh at it and
throw it out, because it was
so far different from what
weve been doing, she said.
Instead, district officials
approved the plan for more

hit all the targets.
We spent hours upon
hours reading different
books, resources, internet
websites, studies, Alex-
ander said. I bet we spent
about a day a week over the
summer help plan schedul-

At the end of the sum-

with a chuckle.
The three teachers took a
leap of faith together one
that so far has turned out
well, not only for the stu-
dents, but for each other.
It was really a marriage,
bringing three very differ-
ent people together who
have the same passion,
Alexander said. It was
because that passion was so
strong we were able to work
together.
Schroeder said the big-
gest change has been the
increased communication
between the three, who have
truly formed a team, rather
than simply three teachers
doing their own thing in the
6-year-old could come up
with.
What they have done is
beyond what we had ever
imagined, Alexander said.
Importantly, though, kids
are learning while they are
having fun, something she
said is the whole point of
kindergarten.
All of our standards can
be met through play, Alex-
ander said. How many
bricks do you have on your
Lego tower what happens
if you take three of them
off? If we had a restaurant,

Charrette: Redevelopment Authority aims to make process transparent for public

abandoned industrial area
into a thriving neighborhood
that could support the citys
historic downtown.
This a major redevelop-
ment of the downtown area,
and this is something that
folks have been really inter-
ested in for years, said new-
ly appointed RDA member
Denise Duranczyk, a for-
mer alder and Dane County
Board member. So if peo-
ple really want to help to
kind of direct that develop-
ment then they should come
and become involved.
City leaders are hoping
to get dozens of people to
attend the three-day series
of workshops and discuss
what they would like to see
in a newly redeveloped riv-
erfront. Theyll talk about
what it would look like,
how it would be landscaped,
how to connect it to down-
town and Mandt Park, how
to make the best use of the
river and a variety of other
topics, from renewable ener- Getting involved early

The ideas will be rough-
ly sketched on the spot and
will eventually be open for
review and future discus-
sion as the process continues
through the typical review
process over the next several
months.
Consultant Gary Beck-
er will coordinate the event
along with the citys Rede-
velopment Authority. He
told the Hub the main goal is
to make sure people under-
stand and are aware of the
ideas for the property from
the very beginning, rath-
er than more than halfway
through the process, when
plans are typically intro-
duced to the planning com-
mission for consideration.
The whole idea was to
open it up to the public and
hear what everyone has to
say about it, Becker said.
So then at the end of the
three days hopefully well
have heard from everyone
who has anything to say
about it.

at transparency stems from
