Roger, who taught
social studies at the
school for more than
30 years as well.
Howard, a member Roloff

City of Stoughton
Council approves plans
for shelter, splash pad
City to provide
$154,000 toward
project cost
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group
Plans for a new splash pad
and park shelter within the
Nordic Ridge development
will get help from the city.
But the developer is paying
for most of it.
The Common Council on
Tuesday, May 23, approved
the design for will be known
as Nordic Ridge Park on
Peterson Farm. Its located
on the citys southwest side,
just off of County Road A. It
also approved a land division
agreement with Harvest Farms
LLC, owned by the Robert
Dvorak family, that obligates
the city to contribute about
$154,000 toward the $392,711
construction cost for the shel-
ter and splash pad. The park is
set to also have soccer fields,
a 10-foot-wide shared-use
asphalt path, and more.
The developer is obligated
to provide $242,711 in impact
fees, and he has agreed to
pay $218,550 upfront, before
actually developing most of
the 76 acres. The develop-
ment eventually is planned to
have 225 units of single and
multi-family housing.
The developer also pledged
to provide $116,000 more
toward the improvements
than required by city ordi-
nance, Mayor Donna Olson
said.
The park is part of the sec-
ond phase of development
at Nordic Ridge. Last sum-
mer, the developer broke
ground on the first phase,
which called for new streets
and infrastructure and 39 sin-
gle-family homes sites and
one duplex site on about 12
acres of vacant land near West
Milwaukee Street and Hoel
Avenue.
While $390,000 is an
unusually small amount to
construct a splash pad (not to
mention a shelter), city Parks
and Recreation director Tom
Lynch explained the devel-
oper is planning on being
involved in the construction
of both the shelter and the
splash pad, if they win the
bid.
He said because the devel-
oper is already working at
Nordic Ridge, they have the
ability to do a lot of things
cheaper than if you contract-

already working on the site.

Westby explained.
In addition to the change
in description and title, his
wage has increased from
$21.86 per hour to $27.09.
Westby began working
part-time for the city in
2006 while still enrolled at
Stoughton High School. He
graduated a semester earlier
than his classmates in 2008
and joined the city full-time,
where hes been in charge of
WSTO operations and other
aspects of communications
and technology.
Westby told the Couri-
er Hub he enjoys his job
because he likes learning
new things and theres
always something new in
communications technolo-
gy and he likes knowing
whats going on in the city.
Ive seen every council
meeting for the last eight
years or so, and I work with
every department with their
phones and AV systems and
security camera systems and
stuff like that, Westby said.
He thinks hell have a lit-
tle less work once the city
hires an information tech-
nology director and the new
department is up and run-
ning. The city restarted its
hiring process after it offered
the position to an applicant
two months ago but she
decided not to take the job.
A lot of my responsibili-
ties are also in the IT direc-
tors position job description,
and well work as a team on

getting everything done,
Westby said.
He said the city has long
needed an IT department and
director.
Its been very fragment-
ed, with multiple people
all doing kind of the same
thing, Westby explained.
Westby, whos married
with three children (twin
9-year-olds and a 4-year-
old), ran for a seat on the
Stoughton Area school board
this year but came up short in
a crowded primary election
field of eight candidates.
Hes proud to note that
WSTO has won a few
awards in the past couple
of years. The cable channel
won a 2016 Best of the Mid-
west Media Fest award for
its movie review show, Tom
Richardsons Screen Time.
The station won two awards
in 2015: an achievement
award for Stoughton High
School Hockey coverage and
merit award for Common
Council coverage.
Westby said he likes his
work because every day
offers something new, and he
finds it rewarding.
The job is always full of
new challenges, he said.
The best part is when you
have an issue and actually
figure it out. That gives you
the most satisfaction.

Letters to the editor

Post Office food drive was a success

We did it again! Letter carri-
ers at the Stoughton Post Office
along with other postal employ-
ees and local volunteers teamed
up to stamp out hunger in the
community.
I want to thank everyone who
helped make this years food
drive a success. It could not
have been done without you.
Across the country, the food
drive held in cooperation with
the Postal Service resulted in
millions of pounds of nonper-
ishable food collected and dis-
tributed to deserving charities
nationwide.
Closer to home, the Stough-
ton carriers collected 10,050
pounds of food from generous
donations left at mailboxes,
which were then delivered to
our local community food pan-
try.
For years our local commu-
nity has come together for this
important event to help make it
successful. This clearly shows
the generosity of everyone
involved with the project peo-
ple who make a difference in
other peoples lives.

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Seniors Tristan Jenny, Nathan Moll and
Owen Roe started the WIAA Division 1
state track and field meet off with a bang
Friday in the 4x800 relay at Veterans
Memorial Field at UW-La Crosse.
The seniors and junior Sean McLaury
broke a school record for the second week
in a row, taking fifth in 7 minutes, 56.32
seconds to reach the podium.
It was a really different experience
being up there and seeing all the crowd,
Jenny said. Its a really good feeling.
And it just showed that all the hard work
we put in together really paid off.
Jenny also made the medal stand in
March for the state individual wrestling
meet at the Kohl Center. But it was even
more fun to be up there with his team-
mates, and the finish made up for not
making state in cross country last fall.
At state wrestling youre up there for
yourself. Being on the podium today with
three other people, its a different feel-
ing, Jenny said.
The relay came in seeded sixth after
winning sectionals, but Jenny said that

Weum, Lonnebotn breaks
school records to medal
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Seniors Aly Weum and Mya Lonnebotn
both finished their high school careers for the
Stoughton girls track and field team on a high
note last weekend.
Both not only broke school records
Weum in the 400 and Lonnebotn in the triple
jump but also finished fifth in their events to
make the podium at state, which was held Fri-
day and Saturday at Veterans Memorial Field
at UW-La Crosse.
Lonnebotn leaps to fifth Friday
Lonnebotn was the first to make her mark
Friday in the triple jump finals. She came into
the meet seeded 13th and was in the middle of
the second of three flights.
But after making the finals, she topped
graduate Brianna Bowers school record (37
feet, 1/4 inch) by three inches with a leap of
37-3 1/4.
I knew I didnt do my best at sectionals,
Lonnebotn said. Ive been wanting to break
the school record so bad I knew it was pos-
sible but it was hard to imagine being up (on
the podium).
When I did get up there, it was the best
moment ever.
Lonnebotn reached the finals tied for sev-
enth with a jump of 36-4 3/4 and broke the
school record on her fifth jump of the day.
She accomplished this after missing all of last
season with a broken hip and not being able
to train until late January/early February of
this year.
It definitely took a little bit for me to get
back to where I was, Lonnebotn said. In
the beginning of the season, I was definitely
frustrated with how I was jumping. I started
working hard and working on my middle
phase, and I was able to pick up a couple of
feet.

Mya Lonnebotn finished fifth in the triple
jump Friday at the WIAA Division 1 state
track and field meet in La Crosse with a
school record 37 feet, 3 1/4 inches.
Lonnebotn said the moment she will
remember the most was seeing her father tak-
ing photos while she stood on the podium.
Just looking out at the crowd and knowing
I made it up there my senior year, it was the
ultimate goal, said Lonnebotn.
And she may be back at UW-La Crosse
next fall, as she is still contemplating whether
she will run for its track and field team.
Weum races to fifth Saturday
Weum first ran in the 4x800 relay early Sat-
urday, which came in seeded sixth. And the
relay didnt perform as well as the girls had
hoped.
That motivated Weum to make her last race
as a Stoughton Viking count in the 400, where
she broke the school record she had set last
year at state with a time of 56.19.
The fact that I did have to break a school
record to get fifth is crazy because obviously
my school record last year got third, Weum

stronger. Everything I have done leading up
to this led to that race, so I left it all out there.
