The
City of Stoughton
Council rejects homing pigeons

Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group
Homing pigeons apparently are not like chickens.

Over the objections of
Dist. 1 Ald. Sid Boersma, who cited research
that cities allowing homing pigeons dont show
related health or nuisance
problems, the Common

Council last week rejected
a request to allow up to 50
of the birds to be kept on a
single property.
The 7-4 vote puts an end
to a saga that began in October with a request by city
resident Rosalie Bjelde to
keep homing pigeons also
known as racing pigeons
in a loft at her property on

Broadway Street.
Alders showed some initial support for crafting an
ordinance despite two negative recommendations by
the Planning Commission
noting that the city allows
residents to keep chickens but in this case, they
declined to follow through.
Alders who voted to deny

Bjeldes request did so for a
variety of reasons.
Ald. Greg Jenson (D-3)
said he changed an earlier
position to allow the birds
after a March 9 public hearing at the Planning Commission, when three neighbors spoke against the idea.
Ald. Sonny Swangstu (D-1)
said he just didnt think the

birds should be allowed in
the city.
Others cited such concerns as monitoring the
number of birds, how
only one person made the
request (although others
spoke in support), and the
fact that the birds dont
provide food, as backyard
chickens can.
Along with Boersma, Tom Majewski, Pat
OConnor and council
president Mike Engelberger
voted in favor of amending a zoning ordinance
and clearing the way for
Bjeldes request. Ald. Eric

OWI task force

First of two
patrols this
weekend
Referendum result spurs

offer to rework deal
Stoughtons first highvisibility OWI patrol of

the year is this weekend.
From 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Saturday, 10 patrol cars
from seven jurisdictions
will cruise the streets of
Stoughton in a high-profile
display to dissuade people
from considering operating
while intoxicated.
This is the third year for
Stoughton in the Capital
Area OWI Task Force, a
state grant-funded program
that continues to add new
wrinkles in its fourth year.
It has grown from a halfdozen agencies to 14, adding more visual elements
and this year splitting most
patrols in half and will
accompany some of them
with a police car thats
been repainted to look like
half-taxi, half-squad car.
Half the traveling officers will be in Stoughton
this weekend, and the other half will be in Oregon
on the same night. The two
will again share the patrols
in July.
This years program
kicked off last Saturday
in DeForest, where it all
began. Its the brainchild
of DeForest Lt. Dan Furseth, who started high-visibility patrols there in 2009
and won his first grant
to expand the program to
other communities in 2012
after finding it reduced

Kettle Park Wests developer has

proposed a novel solution to public
concerns about borrowing for the
commercial center.
KPW development manager Dennis Steinkraus last week offered
to pay the upfront costs of public improvements for the project
instead of asking the city to borrow money for the work before its
done. The Common Council was
scheduled to meet Tuesday night to
discuss the proposed changes to the
development agreement.
Steinkraus said the proposal is a
response to a referendum question in
the April 7 election that showed 60
percent of voters do not want the city
to borrow the $5.1 million thats laid
out in the KPW development agreement. The borrowed money was to
be repaid through a tax-incrementfinancing plan thats also spelled out
in the agreement.
His new deal would keep the
amount of TIF would the same, but
the timing and manner of financial
guarantees would change.
Rather than asking the city to
borrow money and offering letters
of credit as collateral, Steinkraus
proposed whats known as a payas-you-go TIF. Forward Development Group would fund the public
improvements with private financing
and be repaid as new tax revenues
are generated. Instead of providing

Quilts for a cause

About 175 people attended Skaalen
Auxiliarys annual Quilt Faire on Saturday.
Nearly 200 quilts were on display
at Christ Lutheran Church, including
new and antique quilts, patriotic quilts
that will be donated to the VA hospital, Relay for Life quilts and Lutheran
World Relief quilts.
The event also featured guest artists
Judy L. Nelson from Bettendorf, Iowa,
and Susan Luers of Evansville. More
than $2,000 in proceeds from the event
and raffles will be applied to auxiliary
projects.

example - volunteers both encourage those they help and motivate
others to serve. Donna Olson, Mayor of the City of Stoughton,
announced at the Open house: I encourage all citizens of Stoughton
to observe all the good deeds done by our many volunteers and
extraordinary business owners and to thank them for all they do.

just more education on the issue.

Pigeons: Four alders change
School board
adds new faces
Continued from page 1
Changed positions
Scott De Laruelle
Hohol was absent.

Joining Swangstu and
Jenson in voting against
were alders Ron Christianson, Paul Lawrence, Tricia
Suess, Tom Selsor and Tim
Swadley.
Rosalie did a fine job of
presenting her case, said
Suess, who had previously
voted in favor of drafting
an ordinance. Hopefully
shell continue with her
education efforts and bring
it forward again in a year.
I think what people need is
just more education on the
issue.
At last weeks council

meeting, Selsor, Lawrence
and Suess joined Jenson in
reversing their positions
after having earlier voted in
support.
Lawrence (D-2) didnt
say why hed reversed his
position and did not return
phone calls from the Hubs
seeking a comment. On Jan.
27, he said, Its important
to allow these peaceful
type of activities, adding
that, Its just as legitimate
a request by one person
as if 10 people made the
request.
Suess said she was
swayed by neighbors
speaking up during a public
hearing, and those are the
people who are going to be
directly affected by it.
Ill definitely admit Im
not educated on the issue,
she added. But I think for
me, it was neighbors showing up and the fact that its
not food animals. Also, 50
birds is a lot of animals.
At one point in last
weeks meeting, Engelberger suggesting holding
a Committee of the Whole
meeting to work out an
agreement. He said he was
disappointed with the Planning Commission, accusing
members of looking at this
request with a real bias.
What Im hearing is a lot
of arguments against this
without any facts, Engelberger said. The other side
is presenting a lot of facts.
After the COW idea was
rejected, Majewski attempted to amend the ordinance,
which would have limited
the number of birds to 25
per residence and the size
of the loft to 50 square feet.
He proposed allowing up to
50 birds in a 140-squarefoot loft.
His motion failed on a
5-6 vote.
The matter first went to

the Public Safety committee in October, which had
forwarded it to the Planning
Commission after officials
determined that the request
would require amending a
zoning ordinance.
The commission recommended the council deny
the request at its Jan. 12
meeting.
On Jan. 27, the council
voted 9-2 to send the matter
back to Planning. The council directed the commission
to draft an ordinance that
would allow keeping homing pigeons in a residential
area and limiting the number to 50 birds. Bjelde had
asked to keep up to 75.
City staff presented a
draft ordinance, but the
Planning Commission
unanimously recommended
the council not adopt the
ordinance.
Minutes from the meeting show that three people
Bjeldes neighbors spoke
against recommending
adoption, while four spoke
in support. The neighbors
presented a petition with a
handful of signatures asking
the commission to reject the
request, while Bjelde presented a petition with more
than two dozen signatures
supporting the idea.
Stoughton
woman killed
in I-90 crash
A 30-year-old Stoughton
woman was killed following a
crash in Madison Monday.
According to a news release
from the Wisconsin State
Patrol, emergency responders
were called around 5:20 p.m.
Monday April 20, to the eastbound on ramp from the Beltline to southbound I-90 for a
single-vehicle crash.
Authorities said a 2008 Mazda left the road and struck a
tree, causing fatal injuries to the
lone occupant. The driver was
not wearing a seatbelt, according to the news release.
The identity of the victim
had not been released as of
press time Tuesday, pending
notification of family members.
For three Stoughton

Area School Board members who ran unopposed
April 7, now the hard work
begins. Newly elected
board members Alison
Sorg, Yolibeth Fitzgibbon and Scott Dirks were
sworn in Monday night,
beginning three-year
terms on the board. Dirks
was already serving on
the board after he was
appointed in November to
fill the seat of Pat Volk,
who resigned.
Former board members
Frank Sullivan and Tina
Hunter did not run for reelection.
The boards officers will
remain much the same,
with president Liz Menzer, vice-president Donna
Tarpinian and treasurer
Brett Schumacher unanimously re-elected to their
positions. Bev Fergus was
unanimously elected as
clerk, replacing Hunter,
and Sorg was unanimously
elected as deputy clerk.
Alternative teacher
compensation
District officials talked
at length about an alternative teacher compensation
package that a 14-member committee has been
working on since February 2014. Plans are to continue refining and working
on the plan, with a goal to
start issuing new contracts
in August.

We, citizens of our city and townships, respectfully request that the Stoughton
Common Council move with immediate and decisive action to terminate the
Kettle Park West agreements and plans in a swift but careful manner.
The developer has been unable to meet his commitments in the first
two Developers Agreements and has now proposed a third agreement.
Our community is against the TIF subsidies and any form of city-backed
financial instruments or assistance. And our community is against the KPW
project as a whole as shown by the recent referenda vote.

One Hour Massages
Secondly, we request the council conduct a formal public hearing on the

proposed third Developers Agreement.
We ask city staff and the developer present their current plans for the
KPW projects, proposed TIF borrowing and payment schedules along with
estimated interest costs, current job creation estimates, etc. followed by
citizens questions of staff and developer and citizens comments.
We ask this hearing be conducted on an evening, a week or so prior to the
councils final decision on whether to modify the Developers Agreement.
We ask it be televised live with call in from those at home and in a room,
such as the Opera House that can hold hundreds of citizens.

drunken-driving arrests
throughout the year. The
grant covers overtime
expenses of up to $30,000
and has also paid for the
cost of signs.
The idea of the patrols,
he has said in multiple
interviews with the Hub,
is not to catch drunken
drivers, so much as prevent them.
It boosts the size of
normal weekend patrols,
making it so there seems
to be a police car driving by every few seconds,
and Stoughton also uses
lighted signs, pink, neon
signs and LED road flares
to alert drivers.
Like police chiefs in
several other small communities, Stoughton
found the shifts, which
count as overtime pay,
popular among the citys
officers, but found that so
many cars on Stoughtons
few well-traveled roads
was oversaturated and a
little cumbersome.
Last year, Stoughton
had 18 police vehicles
on the road between 8:30
p.m. and 12:30 a.m., a
number that some communities found was actually oversaturated. This
year it will be about
nine. The group will

Caring for our Green World since 1978
Stoughtons best comes

when we work together
A
s my one and only turn on

City Council wraps up, Id
like to apologize to anyone
who disagreed with me.
I dont feel I was a very good
politician.
One reason is that I dont enjoy
being outraged. I feel like a lot of
you wanted me to be mad about
things a lot, and Im not willing to
do that.
Another is that its almost impossible for me to choose sides. Alders
are required to say a flat Yes or
No on issues that often have no
right answer.
Sure, some
issues are easy,
but many of
them are very
complex and a
simple yes or no
does not do them
justice.
There is no
Suess
Yes, but...
vote, or I see
both sides...
vote. There is only Yes or No.
And finally, I automatically
believe that others are conducting
themselves in a forthright manner
with me. I like to do business on a
handshake. I tend to trust my gut.
As such, I have missed opportunities to ask important questions,
and I have been surprised by information that others have found.
But I learned some important
things over the past three years.
First, all the members of the
Council - and I mean all - care
very much about what happens to
our beautiful city. You might not
always agree with how an alder
votes, but each person at that table
wants whats best for Stoughton and they each move forward
toward that goal.
Twelve members on a council
means 12 different ideas of whats
best. Rest assured that each of your
alders is very thoughtful about the
issues and is doing what they feel
is right.
There are no agendas, no idiots,

no kickbacks from companies, just
a group of 12 careful, intelligent
people elected to guide our city
into the future, whatever that looks
like. If you disagree with them, that
doesnt automatically make them
wrong. It just means they have a
different idea of whats best.
If youre not willing to do the
job, please ease up on the criticisms
of those who are. If you want different outcomes, you need to get
involved.
Ive also learned that government
cant do everything.
My most rewarding experience was working with Sylvia
Lawrence, Sara Downie and Gennifer Weaver, who formed Naturally Stoughton (now Sustainable
Stoughton) on their project to end
the broad use of pesticides in city
parks. These women recognized
a problem, organized and came to
the city prepared with solutions and
resources.
I was pleased to be able to help
their group work with the city to
achieve a result that would not have
happened without their efforts.
They ultimately had to accept less
than what they set out to do (there
is still herbicide sprayed on the
athletic fields), but they had a huge
impact on how the city maintains
its parks. Thats how government is
supposed to work.
People often want government
to do something about whatever
concerns them, but they offer no
alternatives.
Instead, if you see something you
dont like, or if you want something we dont have, think of some
solutions, consider talking to some
people and getting some support.
You might not get the result you
originally wanted, but the city will
listen.
Im happy to help anyone get
started through the process.
Those of us on the council have
received a lot of feedback about
the citys communication about the

major issues that impact us all. I

agree the city could do a better job.
At the same time, its important
for residents to do what they can to
inform themselves.
At the least, please read the local
newspaper. It reports on city business every week. I used the paper
as one source of education before
I started my council term, and it
helped tremendously to have that
background on the issues.
I want to thank my fellow alders
who all work tirelessly for the betterment of our home. Thank you to
Phil Caravello, Christa Westerberg,
Roger Springman, John and Ellen
Morgan, Pete Manly and the rest
of the folks who always conducted
themselves respectfully and were
open to listening to my thoughts.
I had stars in my eyes for council
service and it ended up being one
of the most painful experiences of
my life. I dont regret doing it - it
was a powerful personal growth
experience. But Im looking forward to serving Stoughton in ways
that are a little kinder to my spirit.
I loved Stoughton before I even
met her and when I moved here, I
moved home. I only ever wanted to
make this city brighter. I will continue these efforts, as I had before
council service.
Im currently serving on the
Arts Council (which needs more
people), contributing to Gazebo
Musikk and working on a one-day
rock music festival. All of these
efforts require a team.
If you want to do something for
the city - to make it cool - join my
team. Or come up with your own
idea and put me on your team.
Either way, lets work together to
make Stoughton everything we
want it to be.

Good customer service is not
limited to Stoughton. Recently
at a big box store in Madison, I
wasasked if I needed help loading
my car with some heavy items. I
did, and I wasgrateful.
As much as I am able, I like to
support local business. However, I
would beglad to shop at a Super
Wal-Mart here instead of going
into Madison. It ismy belief when
others come to Stoughton to shop
there, they also will findthe benefits of local stores tucked away

On Tuesday, Olson told
the Hub the proposed changes would reduce risk for the
city.
Before, we were helping to build and assuming
some of that risk, although
we were comfortable with
the letters of credit, she
said. This reduces the risk

that the city has upfront,
and thats always a good

director Tom Lynch, volunteers with the citys
River and Trail Task Force
have organized the annual
Yahara River Trail cleanup
Saturday morning. Any
one interested can meet
the group at the pedestrian bridge near Coopers
Causeway at 9 a.m.
Lynch will coordinate the
cleanup effort with maps
and directions for volunteers, who are asked to
wear grubby clothes and
bring work gloves.
Along with cleaning up
the trail, volunteers will
help gather scrub trees and
bushes that have already
been cut.
Were hoping to get rid
the city with a letter of credit

guaranteeing payback of the
loan, the developer would
give the city the signed public improvement contracts.
Attorney
Dan
OCallaghan, who represents FDG, explained that
the developer would complete both phases of the public improvements work
that would begin this year
with site grading and bringing utilities to the site. Only
after that would the developer be reimbursed for the
public improvements, he
said.
We have the wherewithal to put together a
private financing package
to fund the construction
of public improvements,
OCallaghan told the council
last Tuesday. Rather than
the city putting its money in
first, wed put our money in
first to construct the public
improvements. Instead of
letters of credit up front, we
would deliver to the city the
signed contracts with performance and payments bonds
from our contractors guaranteeing completion of the
work.
Initial reactions during
last weeks meeting were
positive.
Mayor Donna Olson
called the proposal a good
change in the development
plan.
Ald. Tom Selsor (D-4),
who has opposed using TIF
for the project, prefaced a
question by saying, Im so
happy with this that I hardly
know what to say.
He then asked if the
businesses locating in the

commercial center would
have a building schedule the
developer would be required
to meet.
We dont want a big
piece of flat land sitting out
there, he said.
Steinkraus replied that the
users would be required to
either build or pay the increment that was projected for
their lot.
Generally, theyre given
a one-year timeframe, he
explained. If the building is
not built, there wont be an
increment.
He said the proposed
changes would not alter the
duration of the TIF, which
must close by 2034.
Under the current agreement, the developer must
have new value created by
Jan. 1, 2017, in order for
the city to receive the increment beginning in 2018.
Construction of the off-site
public improvements the
extension of Jackson Street
and the installation of utilities leading to the 35-acre
commercial center at the
northwest corner of the
Hwys. 51/138 intersection
must begin by June 30.
Under the new deal, the
city would evaluate the
actual value the project has
brought to the city, based on
assessments, in the spring of
2016, 2017 and 2018. Only
that value would be available for reimbursement,
OCallaghan explained.
Ald. Ron Christianson
(D-2) described the proposal as a fairly dramatic
shift and said he felt it was
a good deal for the city

Dont Give In to Negativity

There are many ways in which we can
fall into negative patterns of thought or
behavior. We all make mistakes, but when
we do, we should try to look at them as
learning opportunities. We all occasionally say or do thoughtless things that hurt
our friends or families, but when we do,
we should consider it an opportunity to
ask for forgiveness, and our relationship
might be deepened thereby. We should all
pay closer attention to what we say and do
throughout the day. How much of it is knee
jerk negativity? And, not just what we say
to others, but how much of our internal dialogue is filled with negativity? How often do
we berate ourselves for minor mistakes or
omissions? We should try to be more like
the coach who builds up her athletes with
a pep talk or the teacher who convinces his
students that they can work out a difficult
problem. The important question for the
track athlete is not whether you won the
race but whether you did your best. Studies
show that there are very few times when
negativity helps us; it is almost always
better to be an optimist than a pessimist.
So, do what you can to throw the negativity overboard and to have a more positive
attitude. Life is good and getting better and
even when its not so good you can still
choose to make the best of it.

Q. Stoughton will be celebrating Syttende Mai next month. Fact--In Norway they only celebrate for
one day--we celebrate for an entire weekend. I would like my home to look more Scandinavian.
What suggestions do you have?
A. Scandinavian Design stresses simplicity with clean lines, grace and beauty. Function is the priority.
Your home should be functional and comfortable but not fussy. Norwegians love lighting. They often
use candles--even in the windows. The color white is used often--even combined with natural woods-or as a subtle neutral in your background. The single most important decorating tip is to create a space
for entertaining. Design an open space around your dining room table. And my favorite--right now
the colors blue and white are being used in combination for home accessories. We have several blues
available in carpeting, luxury vinyl tile, and ceramic tile. Stop in --we will be happy to help you create
your own Scandinavian look.

handle all your needs such as good designer/architect, an accountant/bookkeeper to handle the draw
processes, a project manager to handle the day to day construction processes and a superintendent
to be on the job to make sure the home construction process runs smoothly. You should always
ask for a list of references - past clients that you can contact to discuss what their experience was
like working with the builder. Ask for addresses so you can do a drive by and actually see the
homes that the general contractor has built. You should also ask the general contractor about their
knowledge with new products and energy efficient practices. However, it is always a good idea to
ask around as word of mouth and personal experience can be very beneficial.

we eat, producing acids that attack tooth enamel. Here are some tips to help prevent cavities.
Spend at least two minutes, twice a day brushing your teeth; it takes that long to remove bacteria which destroy tooth
enamel. Do not brush too hard; it takes very little pressure to remove bacteria and plaque. Floss at least once a day; its
the only way to remove bacteria between teeth.
Watch the sugar you eat. There is sugar in candy, fruits, crackers and chips. These are some of the foods the bacteria
in your mouth like best. Be mindful of foods like raisins and peanut butter that stick to your teeth. They provide a
Thor J. Anderson, DDS constant supply for the bacteria eating at your teeth. Minimize the frequency of eating sweet items and clean your
teeth afterwards.
If you cannot brush after a meal, rinse your mouth with an antimicrobial mouth rinse or waterwhich can help remove food from your teeth. Chewing
sugarless gum after a meal also helps by stimulating the flow of saliva and acting as a natural plaque-fighting substance.
Do not forget your regular dental visits. These check ups and cleanings are a key factor in preventing cavities.

bond between adult child and parent. In many ways its a rewarding opportunity to give back.
However, caregiving for an elder can add stress to an already busy schedule of work, taking

Assuring the safety and well-being of a loved one can require substantial amounts of time,

Stoughton Opera House
Bowersox returns to one of my favorite rooms

Idol runner-up often
compared to Janis
Joplin
Bill Livick
Crystal Bowersox
became something of a
household name in 2010
during her performances on
American Idol.
The dreadlocked, raspytoned singer-songwriter
performed for an audience
of 30 million and finished
runner-up in the wildly
popular singing competition series that began airing
on Fox Television in 2002.
That success launched her
professional recording and
performing career.
Now 29, she released
her first album, Farmers
Daughter, in 2010, and
followed with her second
album, All That for This,
in 2013.
In a telephone interview days before returning to the Stoughton Opera
House, Bowersox described
the shows concept as
strange, but acknowledged it was a big boost to

her career.
I try not to label it good
or bad it was just an experience, she told the Hub.
Putting music in a category of fine critiquing and
judgment its so strange
to me because one person
may like something or love
something while someone
else may not. We all have
different opinions.
Commercial success
for Idol finalists has been
mixed, and Bowersoxs
album sales put her about
average among runner-ups,
which is just fine with her.
My motivation for doing
the show was not for fame
or fortune, but to provide
stability and a better life for
my child, she said. And it
Charlie Parr
7:30 p.m. Friday, April 24. Tickets: $15

Charlie Parr has become a local favorite following several
appearances here, including at last years Catfish River
Music Festival.
Parr began his music career in Duluth, Minn., influenced by such iconic guitar players as Charlie Patton,
Bukka White, Reverend Gary Davis, Dave Van Ronk and
Mississippi John Hurt. His latest album, Hollandale, was
released last year and is a collection of largely improvised
songs with a traditional feel.
While I was playing these songs, I let my mind wander
to wherever it wanted to wander to, Parr said in an interview published on his website. I titled the songs later to
reflect whatever it was I was thinking about at the time.
Hollandale is simply the landscape around Hollandale,
Minn., where I spent a good part of my childhood. Its beautiful, slight rolling hills, rich farmland, with yard lights that
you can see from five miles away.
Parrs 2013 album, Barnswallow, is entirely instrumental. He recently appeared at the John F. Kennedy Center for
the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., where the selftaught guitarist and banjo player performed heartfelt and
plaintive original folk blues and traditional spirituals.

She moved to Chicago at
17 and began busking in the

said.
As a 10-year-old, she was

Fans of hot Gypsy jazz and country swing will be in for
an evening of fun when Elana James, Whit Smith and Jake
Erwin known collectively as the Hot Club of Cowtown
return to the Opera House on May 1.
The bands name, as well as its music, comes from two
sources: Hot Club from the hot jazz guitarist Django
Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappellis Hot Club of
France, and Cowtown from the western influence of Bob
Wills and His Texas Playboys and the bands love of fiddle
tunes, hoedowns and songs of the American West.
The trio formed in 1998 and released a dozen studio
albums. Theyve been inducted into the Texas Western
Swing Hall of Fame and toured with Bob Dylan and Willie
Nelson, among many others.
playing electric guitar and
was drawn to the likes of
Tracy Chapman, Melissa
Etheridge and Bonnie Raitt.
She told the Courier Hub
that from the start, people
have compared her voice to
another rock and soul diva
Janis Joplin.
Bowersox said its an
observation shes heard
many times. She doesnt
understand it because she
doesnt hear it herself, but
accepts there may be more
than a kernel of truth to it.
I definitely feel an
attachment to Janis, she
said. I was lucky enough
to meet Big Brother and
the Holding Company and
other people who worked
with Janis. B.B. King even
told me that I remind him of
her.
She identifies with Joplins tendency to let the
music lead her, rather than
the other way around.
When I began singing
at 10 or 11 years old, people told me that I have her
essence in my sound, and I
didnt even know who she
was when I was 10 years
old, she said. I dont hear
it when I listen to a Janis
record next to my record
but theres something about

the way that she allowed
her body and her voice to
become a vessel, rather than
trying to control what was
coming out of her. And that
happens to me while Im
on stage. Everything disappears and things are flowing through me. And maybe
thats what people see.
Bowersox is making her
second appearance at the
Stoughton Opera House on
Saturday, when shell perform two shows as a duo
with guitarist and singing
partner Rachel Coats.
Bowersox called the
Opera House one of my
favorite rooms.
I love the trick of being
on stage and whispering
and having someone in the
lobby hear me, she said.
Its a beautiful room, and
Im really looking forward
to coming back.
She said the venue is
perfect for an acoustic duo.
I think people will just
appreciate the rawness
and the nakedness of the
music, Bowersox said.
Its very simple, and in
that setting, you can hear
every word.

Seaton,

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
We know every time we play
Senior Sarah Seaton tossed

a two-hitter and Morgan
Neuenfeld drove in four runs
Thursday as the Vikings
rolled 11-1 over Oregon in
five innings.
Seaton allowed one earned
run, walked two and struck
out three.
Neuenfeld (2-for-4) highlighted a seven-run fifth
Stoughton, slicing a walk-off
line drive into left field that
allowed the Vikings to clear
the bases.
She led off the fifth with a
blooper in between second
and right field. Seaton then
walked and Samantha Tepp
bunted for a base hit to load
the bases.
It was a high-pressure situation and I was hoping she
wasnt going to come up with
the catch, Neuenfeld said.
I was on cloud nine. It was
absolutely incredible to have
that experience.
Last game I had a home
run. This game I had the
game-winning hit. I hope I
can continue this hot streak.
The win was the Vikings
first conference win.
Those first three losses of
the season, we just couldnt
put it all together, Neuenfeld
said. Our defense was making some errors, but we were
swinging the bat well or we
would play good defense and
werent swinging the bat.
Stoughtons Madi Sehmer
drew a full-count walk to
push the first run of the inning
across home before Liz Auby
stroked a 2-run single.
From there Oregon reliever
Jenna Gratz walked two for
another run before Neuenfeld
singled to Maddy Knaack in
left.
Knaack stretched out for the
ball but was unable to come
up with the catch. Only one of
the three runs was earned.

That was before senior Sam

It was huge, Ripp said. It

Baseball: Vikings move to

3-0 in the Badger South
Oregon, it is going to be a
dogfight. It is going to go
back and forth with both
teams exchanging jabs,
Stoughton head coach Jeremy Dunnihoo said. We
just needed to find ways
to score runs and grind it
out. We hung with them,
and Sam got to deliver the
knockout blow with the
bases loaded late in the
game. That was clutch for
us.
The Panthers battled
back from a 3-0 deficit to
cut the score to one twice.
Oregon senior Mitch
Weber blasted a home
run to left field to get the
Panthers on the board in
the second, and Parker
DeBroux doubled home
Mason Sergent in the third
to cut Stoughtons lead to
3-2.
Freshman pitcher Dylan
Nowicki was able to
strand runners on second
and third, however, and
Stoughton kept its lead.
Ripp picked up his first
RBI in the top of the fourth
to put the Vikings back
up by two, 4-2. He hit an
infield single to shortstop,
scoring Wanninger.
Oregon came right back
in the bottom of the fourth
with a run on an error, but
Showers quickly stole the
momentum back with a
home run to left field to
make it 5-3 Stoughton.
They battled back,
made it a game and gave
us a chance. Oregon head
coach Jake Soule said. It
got away at the end, but
I am proud with the way
they battled.
Stoughton scored three
times in the top of the second. Senior Alex Zacharias reached safely on
an error and Wanninger
walked before freshman
Brady Schipper hit an RBI
double. The Vikings added
two more runs on an error.
Nowicki picked up
the win. He allowed two
earned runs on four hits in
five innings. He struck out
six, while walking three
and hitting a batter.
The biggest thing with
(Dylan), it was the way
he bounced back. After
a home run, it is easy for
a freshman to kind of fall
apart. He stayed composed
and went after the next
batter and got out of the
inning two batters later,
Dunnihoo said. Every
time things were starting
to get away from him a
little bit, he bucked up and
got through it.
He might not have had
his best stuff, but for a
freshman to come here on
the road in this atmosphere
and play like he did was
very impressive.
Bunnell pitched the final
two innings for the save.
He allowed no runs and no
hits, striking out one.
Weber picked up the
loss. He allowed two
earned runs on seven hits
in six innings. He struck
out three and walked five.
The win was the second
straight following four
losses in a row. Dunnihoo
said the team is a little
more focused than it was
at the start of the season.
It was a lack of
urgency, a lot of guys just

going through the motions.
We get it is early in the
season, but we told them
we dont play a soft schedule. We need to be ready
to play, Dunnihoo said. I
think this was the game we
needed to get to. We needed to get that energy and
get to a team they know
that is a rival.
There is definitely a
new atmosphere, a whole
new energy, a whole new
focus with this team since
the last weekend.
And that is something
Ripp concurred with.
There has been a lot
of talk between both of
these teams, which is good
because it is a rivalry,
Ripp said. It just feels
really good right now.

The Vikings scored six
times in the third to get
back in the game and added four more in the fourth

Stoughton led 10-8 after

and a triple.
Ethan Genter took

walked four, while striking
out three.
Nowicki started and took
a no decision. He allowed
four earned runs on no hits
and seven walks. Nowicki
also struck out two.
Stoughton 14, MG 3
Stoughton traveled to
Firemens Park in Cottage
Grove on Tuesday to take
on Monona Grove and won
14-3 in six innings.
The Vikings scored five

the sixth to 10-run rule the
Silver Eagles.
Schipper was 3-for-5,
while Bunnell was 3-for-4
with five RBIs and a double.
Showers was 4-for-5 with
an RBI and a double, and
Zacharias was 3-for-4 with
three RBIs.
Ripp picked up the win.
He allowed no earned runs
on three hits. He walked
three, while striking out
three.
Zacharias pitched the
final two innings and
allowed a hit, while striking
out one.
Stoughton is now 5-5

Elaine A. Speckmann
Elaine A. Speckmann,
chronologically age 94,
but always young at heart,
passed away on Friday,
April 17, 2015.
She was born on Sept. 28,
1920, in Stoughton to Harold and Bernice Halverson.
The family lived on a farm
originally belonging to her
great-grandfather, Stener
Halverson, who came to the
U.S. from Norway in 1845.
When she was eight years
old, her father started a
business renting fishing
cottages and serving food
and drink at a small restaurant and bar, which became
Halversons on Hwy. 51.
Halversons was later
expanded by her brotherin-law Bob Montague.
The family moved to that
location where Elaine, her
sisters and brother helped
out by cleaning the cabins,
doing the laundry and helping in the restaurant business.
Elaine attended the Lakeside School, a one-room
schoolhouse, until eighth
grade. She graduated from
Stoughton High School as
salutatorian before attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison and receiving her bachelors degree
in Clothing and Textiles.
She worked as an assistant
buyer at Carson Pirie Scott
in Chicago before moving
to New York City where
she worked for McCalls
Pattern Company, visiting
big department stores to put
on fashion shows and specialized sewing clinics. She
was an outstanding seamstress and made many lovely clothes for her daughter,
including beautiful gowns
for high school and college
proms. She continued sewing throughout her life.
She met her husband Bob
while traveling through Chicago on one of her business
trips. They were married on
June 26, 1949, by a minister from Christ Lutheran
Church in Stoughton. Due
to Bobs work with Shell
Elaine A. Speckman in her younger
Elaine A. Speckman
Oil, the family was frequently moved around the

country. They ended up in
Texas where their daughter
became an SMU grad and
their son a graduate of Texas
A&M. Elaine and Bob relocated to the Dallas area 10
years ago to be close to their
children and grandson.
Elaine grew up attending
family reunions hosted by
her maternal grandparents,
Agnes and Willis Watson,
and she enjoyed getting
relatives together for family reunions at her cottage on Lake Kegonsa. She
always looked forward to
her Stoughton High School
class reunions for the class
of 38. Elaine loved nature,
canoeing trips to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, and
bird watching both here
and around the globe in Russia, Alaska, Africa and Costa Rica. She was an accomplished artist who painted in
oils and she enjoyed visiting
art museums in London,
Oslo, Amsterdam, Paris and
Rome. Elaine often attended
the Oshkosh Air Show with
her brother Bud and tagged
along with her sister Gerry
to auctions, finding interesting antiques to take back to
Texas. Her favorite fishing
spot was on Lake Kegonsa
where she fished from a
young age. Her favorite bait
was hellgrammites obtained
from a secret location.
She is survived by her
daughter, Linda Spina of
McKinney, Texas; son-inlaw, Frank Spina; grandson,
Andrew Robert Spina; son,
Robert D. of Plano, Texas,

and daughter-in-law Gail;
brother, Donald Halverson, and his wife Lorraine
of Stoughton; sister, Gerry
Jacobson and Kent Allen of
West Palm Beach, Fla., and
Stoughton; and very special
nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in
death by her parents; husband, Bob; and sisters,
Margie and Shirley.
The family wishes to
thank Dr. Akbar Rizvi and
Jennifer Koonce Hazel, RN,
who took incredible care of
her over the last year.
Funeral services will be
held at 11 a.m. Thursday,
April 23, at Cress Funeral
Home, 206 W. Prospect
Street, Stoughton with burial to follow at Roselawn
Memorial Park in Monona.
Visitation will begin at 10
a.m. The family will also
greet friends on Wednesday, April 22, from 4 to 7
p.m. at the funeral home
in Stoughton. Friends and
family are invited to a luncheon following the committal service at Halversons on Hwy. 51, Stoughton.

assessment unless, at least 48 hours
before the first meeting of the Board
or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed
