Despite the hot weather that made a hot cup of coffee not
sound like the most refreshing beverage, plenty of people
turned out Saturday for Stoughtons annual Coffee Break
Festival. Though many passed the time in the shaded
tents, Stoughton Chamber of Commerce director of visitor
services Laura Trotter said more than 500 people bought
the tasting or commemorative mugs to try out coffee from
six different roasters throughout the morning and early
afternoon. Cheesers was crowned champion with its Door
County Coffee roast. The festival also had a record number
of car show entries, with 126 registered.

Stoughton artist happy to be home, making art again

Bill Livick
Stoughton native Anne Olson moved

back home a year ago after attending art
school in San Francisco, surviving a near
fatal car accident, and then recovering
from a series of painful surgeries.
Olson, a printmaker and conceptual
artist, now plans to open the home she
purchased last year on Taylor Lane as a
micro-gallery and studio for fellow artists
to create art and share their

work. The gallery will open
to the public by appointment.
Olson graduated from
Stoughton High School in
2000 and, after studying
for a year at UW-Madison,
attended Academy of Art
University in San Francisco
in a serious accident as a passenger in the

backseat of a car in Sonoma, Calif. The
crash left Olson with a shattered pelvis, a
broken tailbone and three crushed vertebrae.
After surgeries, she spent three months
in a hospital bed and the next year in a
wheelchair. She says her recollections of

Fundraiser keeps park momentum going

Scott De Laruelle
Unless youre a big-name

politician, raising $750,000
isnt easy these days, even for
a wholesome effort like honoring a communitys veterans.
But for those working to
raise money for the planned
Stoughton Area Veterans
Memorial Park, its all about
the big picture, and theyre
taking it piece by piece to
make the dreams of many a
reality.
While fundraising began in
earnest this March to pay the
expected cost of the memorial, another small but significant step was taken Aug.
8. A fundraiser at VFW Post
328, including a silent auction, T-shirt sales and a meal,
helped take in more than
$7,000 for the project, bringing the total amount raised to
more than $100,000.
More than 60 people,
groups and businesses have
donated to the park fund
mostly local, but also
some larger businesses like

spent bringing more in, Erickson said. He said the next step
is to finalize the design and set
footings for structures later this
year.
For those who wish to
donate, there are a variety of
decorative options available,
ranging from engraved bricks
($150-$550) to the centerpiece
with a bronze eagle ($90,000).
Erickson said any person who
served in the U.S. military and
has lived in the greater Stoughton area is eligible to have
his or her name placed at the
memorial.
Anyone can purchase a
brick and put any inscription on
they wish, he said.
So far, the group has collected the names of 2,600 Stoughton area veterans. Erickson said
10 of the 11 available flagpoles
have been purchased, as well
as several benches, and commemorative brick sales have
been brisk.

Electric rates set to rise

Kevin Murphy
Hub correspondent
Stoughton Utilities average electric customers will

pay approximately $2.90
more monthly beginning
next month as the Wisconsin Public Service Commission authorized the utilitys first rate bump in four
years.
The increase consists of
a $2.50 hike in the monthly meter charge, which
rises from $7.50 to $10, is
combined with an approximately 40-cent increase in
the energy charge, according to the rate order issued
Thursday.
Average residential customers currently paying
$86.79 monthly for 724
kilowatt hours of electricity will pay $89.29 when
the new rates are implemented Sept. 1.
SU finance and administration manager Kim Jennings said bills with the
new rates will be mailed
the first week of October.
The utility last increased
rates in January 2011,
and routine inflationary increases in labor and
materials prompted it to
seek a 2 percent rate hike
in December. The utility
later lowered the request
to 1.38 percent, as capital
projects associated with
new development did not
occur as scheduled, said
Jennings.
PSC staff subsequently
lowered the increase to
.46 percent by trimming
forecasted operating and
depreciation expenses.
The utility did not contest
the staffs recommended
increase at a July 28 public hearing held simultaneously in Stoughton and
Madison.
Individual bills will
increase subject to usage,
Jennings said.
On average, rates for
industrial customers
increased by .19 percent,
Kettle Park West
the lowest increase authorized, and rates for smaller users of electricity
increased between .86 and
1.88 percent based on service capacity of each of the
four customer categories
and the cost to serve them.
Overall, rates increased by
.6 percent, according to
PSC analysis.
A 2 percent overall
rate increase would have
upped annual revenue by
$308,591. Instead, the
approved rates will generate $91,538 in additional
annual revenue.
Without the new rates,
the utility would have
finished 2015 with a net
income of $543,777 and a
4.36 percent rate of return
on its infrastructure investment, which the PSC called
unreasonable and insufficient.
The new rates are
expected to earn the utility
a 5.1 percent rate of return
and a $635,315 estimated
annual net income based
on an estimated annual
income of $15.61 million
and expenses of $14.98
million, according to the
order.
The cost of wholesale
power represents 81 percent of the utilitys total
operating expenses and
increases and decreases in
the wholesale cost to the
utility are directly passed
through to SUs customers
on a monthly basis.
The new rates will fund
ongoing maintenance
costs, which include budgeted replacement of distribution lines and poles.
No major capital projects
are planned until 2018,
when a substation is scheduled to be constructed on
city-owned land on the east
side, said Jennings.
That project could
prompt another electric
rate case, said Jennings.
SUs water rates
increased 3 percent in June
2014 and again in July
2015. An analysis will
begin soon to determine if
the water utility needs to
file for higher rates, she
said.
Smaller Wal-Mart, liquor license approved

Developer: Closing is Aug. 27
Wal-Marts plan to
reduce the size of its proposed Supercenter at Kettle Park West received
Common Council approval last week, as did a
license for the store to sell
alcohol.
Those were some of the
last hurdles for the company to cross before it
can begin building a new
152,000-square-foot store
at the 35-acre commercial
center on the citys west
side, but they were not
unanimous.
Four alders voted
against Wal-Marts
amended specific implementation plan which
includes fine details such
as landscaping, architecture and parking while
six supported the proposal. Three of 10 alders at
last weeks meeting voted
against issuing the store
a license to sell alcohol,
saying they wouldnt support the application unless
the liquor sales area had a
separate entrance, rather
than the store inside a
store concept that was
ultimately approved.
Site plan amended

Changes to Wal-Marts
SIP were the result of a
condition imposed on the
developer by the Capital
Area Regional Planning
Commission in order to
protect a wetland at the
site.
Some alders opposed to
the SIP amendment said
although the amendment
would reduce the stores
footprint by 2,400 feet and
increase the green space
by 17,227 square feet,
the wetland would still be
threatened by the overall
development. Others voted
against the amendment on
principle, arguing that the

city had made too many
concessions to the developer in approving variances to the citys Big Box
Ordinance.
Voting in favor of the
amended SIP were alders
Ron Christianson, Paul
Lawrence, Greg Jenson, Tom Selsor, Sonny
Swangstu and Sid Boersma. Alds. Mike Engelberger, Tom Majewski,
Regina Hirsch and Tim
Swadley were opposed.
Changes to the SIP
will reduce the building
size, add green space and
slightly reduce the number
of parking stalls.
Before the vote, city
attorney Matt Dregne
warned the council about
voting against the proposal
as a means of stopping the
project.
Dregne said the council should scrutinize the
amendment, but any vote
against approving the
revised SIP should be
based on elements in the
plan and not in general
opposition to the project.
Doing so, he said, would
expose the city to a potential lawsuit.
Ald. Tom Selsor (D-4)

pushed back strongly
against Dregnes statement, which appeared to
have been pre-arranged
with Mayor Donna Olson,
who asked the attorney to
comment.
If this SIP is not
approved, and it is determined in litigation later
that it was not approved in
order to prevent this project from moving forward,
the city will be faced with
a very significant legal
problem no question
about it, Dregne said.
Do not base your decision in any way on whether you believe the project
as a whole should move
forward or not. That is an
improper consideration.
You need to base it on the
merits of the SIP amendment, and only that.
Every member of the
council can vote any way
they wish to on this issue,
and we dont need to be
threatened with a lawsuit,
Liquor license granted

The council spent less
time discussing WalMarts application for a
liquor license. The Public
Safety committee had recommended approval of the
application at its July 22
meeting.
The committee chair,
Engelberger (D-2), said
he opposed the application because he didnt like
Wal-Marts plan of building the liquor store inside
the larger supercenter. He
wanted to see the liquor
store have a separate
entrance and exit.
Mayor Olson pointed
out that police chief Greg
Leck preferred Wal-Marts
plan over the arrangement at Pick N Save,
which does have separate
entrances, because it creates two checkpoints
instead of one.
Voting in favor of the
application were Lawrence, Christianson, Jenson, Swangstu, Hirsch,
Swadley and Selsor.
Engelberger, Majewski
and Boersma voted against
the application.

The developer of Kettle Park West told the Common Council last week his company is on track to sell
four lots in the 35-acre commercial center by an Aug.
31 deadline.
The sale of four lots in the seven-lot parcel is a
requirement in the development agreement between
the city and Forward Development Group. The deadline was extended in June for the second time.
The revelation from FDGs Dennis Steinkraus was
a response to a question for Ald. Tom Selsor, saying
his company will purchase the property Aug. 27 from
local landowners and will close on its sale of the properties to four commercial users right after that.
Everythings in motion, and were sharing the
closing documents this week, Steinkraus said.
Selsor shot back.

He characterized
Dregnes statement as a
threat, and called his reasoning the most spurious
argument I can imagine.
Throwing that fear and
uncertainty in front of the
council to shape their vote
is inappropriate, and it
makes me ask, who do you
work for, Mr. Dregne, the
city or the pro-KPW faction of the council? Selsor said, despite later voting to approve the amended SIP.

Board: Teacher compensation plan will be on the agenda for school boards next meeting
Next meeting
Six resignations
No video
What: Stoughton Area School

District Board of Education meeting
When: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8
Where: Administrative and
Educational Services Center
Board Room, 320 North St.,
Info: 877-5000
On Monday night, board members approved the resignation of six educators: SHS learning strategist Hedy Burke, River Bluff learning strategist
Ruth Fazzini, SHS family and consumer science teacher Sarah Quinn,
Sandhill speech and language teacher Lisa Buechner, River Bluff counselor Judy Christensen and SHS reading specialist Michael Dreyer. At
least one more resignation that of River Bluff reading specialist Sandra
Loftus will be up for approval at the boards next meeting.
Several people at the meeting

expressed concern at why board
meetings have not been shown
on local cable TV recently. District
superintendent Tim Onsager said
its the next phase. He said
district officials are working to get
new cameras refitted.
He said when the meetings will
be broadcast again, it will not
be on cable, however, but will
be taped by the district and put
online for people to view.
It will also, I believe, allow us,
when we go to different locations,
to take it with us, but wed have
to set up some cameras, he
said. Were working on it. I know
that is the desire of everybody, to
have that record. Its just taken
longer than wheat weve anticipated, but its in the works.
Yolibeth FitzGibbon said it was

very disrespectful not to also
put teacher compensation on the
agenda, saying she also had asked
for it to be added after the boards
last meeting. Acting board president Donna Tarpinian told her the
item was not open to discussion,
as it was not on the agenda.
When is it time to talk?
FitzGibbon asked. We cannot
talk, we cannot send an email
because its a violation of the
rules. That is more important
than maintenance. Whats more
important is to keep the educators
here.
There is a time on our agenda
to talk about that, Tarpinian said.
I asked for it to be on the
agenda, FitzGibbon countered.
I did not make that decision,
Tarpinian said. I am presiding
over this meeting the best I can.
At the conclusion of the meeting, board member Alison Sorg

asked to put teacher compensation on the board agenda for its

and board member Scott Dirks
opposed. Tarpinian was acting as

at the meeting with what Tarpinian termed an excused absence.

priority, we need to do a better

job of caring for our educators
and staff who care for our children on a daily basis, she said.
River Bluff math teacher Jackie Harris, a former department
chair with a masters degree who
has taught in the district for 27
years, said she was surprised to
learn she received a purple rating what she called a minimal raise this past year, based
on the compensation plan.
I was not provided any criteria until the end of the year for
what I was going to be evaluated on, and I got no feedback
other than (bullet points), she
said. Obviously, it doesnt take
into account my overall career,
instead it seems to be predominantly based on the last year or
two.
Harris said based on public
records for the 2013-14 school
year, she knows of three colleagues who received the top
orange ratings, one of whom
received a pay raise of $13,000
for this year.
She is a very hard worker
but so am I, Harris said. When
we have a limited pot of money,
and those types of significant
raises are being sucked from the
pot, whats left for the rest of
us?
Harris said her 2015 checks
are $32.62 less than those from
2007.
Needless to say, my expenses
are increasing significantly more
than that, she said. The compensation plan is very upsetting.
Its very demeaning. Its pitting
us against our colleagues.
Harris said she wants a more
transparent process from the
board when it comes to teacher
evaluation.
Demonstrate this has been
a fair process, she said. I
assumed that I would stay at
Stoughton for my career. I question that now.
Grasse told the Hub on Tuesday that teacher morale is key

to how successful the districts
schools will be.
We have right now the lowest morale Ive seen since even
before getting on the board (in
2013), she said. People are
really downhearted, and I just
dont know how they can do the
best for the kids when theyre
feeling so devalued.
River Bluff reading specialist
Sandra Loftus, whose resignation will be on the agenda Sept.
8, told board members that district staff simply does not feel
valued or appreciated.
When I was growing up, nothing pained me more than to hear
the words, Im disappointed in
you, she said. It cut me to the
core.
Im here to tell you tonight,
Im disappointed in you.
Loftus said retaining the districts good teachers should be as
important as hiring new ones.
When I was hired by the district, I was hired to teach, she
said. My pay was based on my
experience and the education and
knowledge that I brought with
me to the classroom to educate
students. In one fell swoop of
a purple pen, morale was completely decimated when the new
compensation ladder was put into
place without details being fully
developed.
Loftus said she fears parents
will react to the resignations by
taking their children to other
school districts.

biggest concern is that teachers

are not being evaluated on their
job performance.
These peoples jobs are to
teach, not to do extra stuff outside the classroom, she said.
With sadness, I have to say we
lost a lot of really good teachers
in the last two weeks. That loss
has brought me to tears multiple
times, knowing how thats going
to impact my kids that are still
left in this school district.
Janet Millhouse, a parent of
two children in the district, said
she was extremely concerned
about the numbers of teachers
leaving the district.
I dont understand why
Stoughton is losing so many veteran, qualified, fantastic teachers, she said. It seems like
there is a mass exodus of educators not brand-new people
who are moving because they got
married or their family is somewhere else but because they
dont want to be in this district
anymore. This community just
passed a referendum that told
you that we believe in education
and we believe in our teachers
and we believe in our kids, and
we want the best education for
our kids we can possibly have.
Millhouse told board members
said she wonders if she needs to
think about sending her children
to schools out of the district.
Educators are not cogs in a
machine that are just replaceable, she said. Please think
about whatever you are doing
that is causing all these people to
leave.
Jack Bernfeld, representing the
Stoughton Education Association
(SEA), asked the board to scrap
the current teacher compensation
plan and go back to the drawing
board and work out a plan that
will be a service and a model for
this community.
As others have said, the
impact is already being felt, he
said. Teachers are leaving. Im
sure thats not what the intention
of the development of an alternative compensation plan was
about.
We need to rebuild the trust
between the district administration, board and the staff here.

to address the issue herself during

the public comment period.
Since the school year ended,
15 teachers have resigned their
positions in the district, communications director Derek Spellman
told the Hub, including seven in
the past few weeks. It was clearly
cause for alarm for both teachers
and some parents, who said they
fear the losses will degrade their
childrens education and could
lead some parents to open enroll
their children out of the district.
But perhaps the most dramatic
part of the meeting was when
Grasse after being advised
against speaking during the public comment period by clerk Bev
Mansfield complained about
the topic not being on Mondays
agenda. She told the board she
had asked to add teacher compensation to the agenda the day after
the boards last meeting in July,
which was also attended by many
teachers, some of whom spoke
against the compensation plan.
I was denied that request,
and I want that on the record,
she said. I feel that our teachers
and our community, our parents
deserve an open, public conversation on this.

presentation on summer maintenance projects, board member

Speeding, alcohol get Stoughton man jailed
A Stoughton man out on

bail for a felony charge of
attacking a police officers and
his third OWI was arrested
for felony bail jumping after
being pulled over for speeding.
According to documents
filed with the Dane County
Circuit Court, Robert L.
Crapp, 51, was pulled over
Aug. 12 for driving 25 miles
per hour over the speed
limit on a motorcycle traveling southbound on U.S.
Hwy. 51. Crapp did not stop
until he reached his driveway, at which point he told
McFarland.
The Oregon police officer
was assisting the McFarland
Police Department as part of
a high-visibility OWI Task
Force grant.
After failing a field sobriety test, Crapp refused to take
a blood test and was arrested,
according to the criminal
complaint. While awaiting
the blood draw at a nearby
hospital, both Oregon and
McFarland police officers
allege he growled at officers,
threatened to bite off their
heads and kicked one officer
in the knee.
The battery to police officer charge was upgraded to
a felony after officers determined it was not Crapps first
time assaulting an officer.
His drivers license was also
revoked.
A condition of Crapps bail
in that case was that he not
consume any alcohol and not
operate motor vehicles without a license.

Crapp was release on a signature bond, with the added
condition that he not be at
any establishment whose primary purpose is the sale or
consumption of intoxicants.
Wisconsin law states that
every driver has legally consented to blood draws when
there is reasonable cause that
alcohol has been consumed.
Though drivers can refuse
this test, it frequently results
in the drivers being arrested
on charges of resisting arrest
while a court warrant is
sought for the blood test.
If found guilty on the latest
charges, Crapp faces a maximum of seven years in prison
and up to $12,500 in fines.
A status hearing in the latest charges is scheduled for
Aug. 24. A jury trial for the
original charges is scheduled
for Sept. 29.
Stoughton man faces Stoughton man charged

felony firearm charges with sex assault in Ohio
Wife had been
accused of wrestling
club embezzlement
Jacob Bielanski
A Stoughton man faces

seven felony counts of
possessing a firearm after
investigators discovered he
had previously been convicted of a felony.
According to documents
filed with the Dane County
Circuit Court, Byron D.
Braaten owns three shotguns and four rifles despite
being convicted of injury
by intoxicated use of a
vehicle in 1981, a felony.
As a felon, Braaten cannot
legally own any firearms.
Investigators with the
Stoughton Police Department uncovered this information while gathering
evidence in a case against
Braatens wife, Deanna,
who has been charged with
embezzling money from
the Stoughton Vikings
Wrestling Club and an

83-year-old resident of an
assisted living facility. She
faces 12 felony charges in
that case, with investigators alleging she took as
much as $300,000 over
the course of roughly six
years.
During that investigation, which concluded in
May, the investigators
found a letter on a computer seized from Deannas
home, in which she told
friends about Byrons conviction and firearms. In
the letter, according to the
complaint, Deanna asked
friends to write letters to
the Governors Advisory
Board seeking a pardon for
her husband.
Each of Byron Braatens seven charges carries
a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and up to
$25,000 in fines.
A status conference has
been set for Aug. 24, the
same day his wife is scheduled for a final pretrial
hearing in her charges.
A Stoughton resident faces

several sexual assault charges
after the alleged rape of a
young girl in Ohio.
Robert P. Maranger, 48,
was arrested
Aug. 7 at the
Quality Inn
and Suites
in Butler
T o w n ship, Ohio,
according
t o a r r e s t Maranger
reports from
the township
police department.
Bail for Maranger has been
set at $2 million, the Vandalia Drummer News reported.
Police were called to the
hotel in the late afternoon on
Aug. 7. Probable cause was
found to arrest Maranger
for the sex offense against
a juvenile under 10 years of
age, the paper reported.
Dayton, Ohio-based television station WHIO reported
Monday that Maranger had
been staying at the hotel with
his girlfriend and her 8-yearold daughter. A hotel clerk
saw via security monitors

something unusual in the
hotel pool and fitness area
and called police.
Maranger faces one felony
count of rape a first degree
felony in Ohio. He was also
charged with seven counts
of gross sexual imposition,
which are third degree felonies.
Each charge carries with
it a sexually violent specification and if convicted,
Maranger could be sentenced
to a maximum of life in prison without the possibility of
parole, WHIO reported.
Maranager continues to
be held in the Montgomery
County Jail, the television
station reported.
Maranger is a lifetime registered sex offender for convictions in 1991 and 1994,
online records show. He was
sentenced to seven years
in prison following a 1994
second-degree sexual assault
conviction.

state to ban such devices.

Florence County voted
to prohibit e-cigarettes in
April. Municipalities that
have passed regulation to
prohibit e-cigarettes in the
workplace include Madison,
Ashwaubenon, Greenfield,
and Onalaska. Three states
have passed e-cigarette policies North Dakota, New
Jersey, and Utah.
On a national scale, the
Food and Drug Administration is proposing to extend
its authority to cover e-cigarettes due to concerns about
their safety.
Long-term term studies
on the health effects have not
been conducted and there is a
lack of proof that the aerosol
is safe for the person smoking, or for those who breathe
in the secondhand aerosol,
the release read.
The aerosol that is exhaled
by e-cigarette users contains
nicotine, propylene glycol (a
known respiratory irritant),
formaldehyde, and heavy
metals such as lead, tin, nickel and chromium.
This proposal makes a
very simple change in the
interest of public health, lead
sponsor of the ordinance, Sup.
Dye said. By treating e-cigarettes like we already treat cigarettes, we can make sure that
in areas we share with others,
the air is clean and enjoyable
for everyone."

A Dane County ordinance

could ban e-cigarettes much
like other tobacco products
under a proposal introduced
last week.
Dane County Executive,
Joe Parisi and County Board
Sup. Jenni Dye (Dist. 33)
introduced an ordinance to
prohibit the use of electronic
delivery devices in workplaces.
Electronic cigarettes are an
oral device that can be used
to simulate smoking and produce an aerosol of nicotine
and/or other substances and
chemicals.
In a news release, Parisi
said concerns about breathing air that contains potentially harmful particulate
matter found in the vapors
is cause for concerns. Other
municipalities and states
have banned the use of e-cigarettes and similar products,
following the Wisconsin ban
on tobacco in the workplace
roughly five years ago. Still,
regulation of e-cigarettes has
been unclear since the ban.
Ensuring our workforce
has a safe work environment
is critical to a productive
healthy workforce, Parisi
said. It is important to protect Dane Countys clean
indoor air by including electronic smoking devices in
Dane Countys smoke-free
air ordinance.
Dane County would be
the second county in the

When I was a schoolboy, in the 1960s, Christopher Columbus was celebrated as the heroic
discoverer of America, and every child knew that
Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteenhundred ninety-two. By the 1980s, when I was
in college, history was no longer taught as if the
great explorers were heroes. Their exploits were
subjected to reasonable criticism, and the fact that
Columbus (and most other explorers, if we are to
be honest) were seeking wealth and slaves took the
luster off of their image. It is worth noting that even
in Columbuss own time his treatment of the native
Americans was subject to criticism. But perhaps
we shouldnt judge Columbus too harshly. In the
late 1400s slavery was still a near universal practice, Columbus had a lot of bad apples among
his crew, and some of the Indians Columbus
encountered were hostile. Furthermore, Columbus
really did see his role at least partly as spreading
Christianity to a benighted race of people who he
thought would make good Christians. Columbus
belonged to the Franciscan third order and he took
to wearing the monks robe after his third voyage,
which he returned from in chains. After successfully
defending himself, he spent time in a Carthusian
monastery, where he wrote a Book of Prophecies
which attempted to place his explorations within
a larger divine plan. Columbus genuinely believed
that he was doing the will of God, and so maybe this
year on Columbus Day we should take a closer look
at his exploits and his legacy.

Merchants guide ship to finals Vikings

Fuentes drives in four as
Stoughton buries Lake
Mills in SE semifinals
JEremy Jones
Sports editor
Native Venezuelan Winder Fuentes has bounced around the past five
years playing baseball everywhere
from Iowa Community College to the
Rock River League a season ago.
Now the starting shortstop for the
Stoughton Home Talent team, Fuentes has been a crucial component for
the Merchants, who advanced on to
the Southeast sectional finals thanks
to an 9-2 victory over Lake Mills last
Sunday.
Fuentes finished 4-for-5 at the plate
against the Grays with a home run
and three singles in the blowout.
Just go out there and hit the ball.
Thats all. Just go out there hit the ball
and do the same thing I do in every
game play 100 percent, Fuentes said. I dont want it to be the last
game of the season.
Fuentes, who bought a house a couple of blocks away from Norse Park
last year, called Stoughton manager
Dale Seffens over the offseason looking for some place to play closer to
home.
I saw the Home Talent League
website and wanted to play for a team
and represent my home town, Fuentes said. I gave Dale a called and
asked if he could give me opportunity
to play, seeing the baseball field is
right across the field.
Fuentes highlighted a four-run second that blew the game wide open,
cracking a two-run single to score
Simon Maurice and Rory Menzer. He
later added a solo home run to lead off
the eighth.
Wed have been in a world of
hurt this year without Winder with

in the fourth inning. The Merchants nearly turned a triple play in the inning, but still
rolled 9-2 in the Southeast semifinals.
the guys we lost, manager Dale Seffens said. Hes at every game, every
practice. The kid is a good ballplayer,
a good leader and hes finally starting
to take that role for us.
Wes fit in real well with our team.
I wish I had a couple more of him.

Starter Erick Sperloen threw 84
pitches over five innings and didnt
allow a run, leaving the game as the
Merchants led 8-0. He struck out four
to earn the win.
We always need runs, it doesnt

matter how the score is. We always
need more runs. It doesnt matter who
we are playing, Fuentes said.
Fuentes singled home the games
first run in the first inning following
an infield single by Menzer and sacrifice bunt by Maurice that was so
good it gave the Merchants two runs
on with no outs.
Jake Wenzel added a second RBI
single in the first with a shot back up
the box.
Menzer had a ground-rule double
to plate a pair of runs in the fourth.
One of surprisingly few games
played with a 90+ heat index, the
Merchants turned up the heat early.
It was hot today and our plan was
to try and get up on Lake Mills early,
Seffens said. Its no fun trying to
play catchup in this heat. Our pitchers did a real nice job keeps pitches
in the strike zone and relying on their
defense with the lead.
Stoughtons Jeremy Dunnihoo
worked the final four innings, allowing two earned runs in the seventh
inning.
Grays Darren Strasburg went the
distance and took the loss. He allowed
nine earned runs on 14 hits and three
walks. The Grays committed one
error.
For their part, the Merchants played
terrific defense, nearly turning a double play in the third inning except for
a high throw from Maurice to first
base.
Stoughton hosts (14-3) East Division winner Fort Atkinson (12-5) at 1
p.m. Sunday at Norse Park.
The Merchants defeated the Generals 7-1 back in late June.
With where the season is, every
team is hard, Fuentes said. All the
teams we are going to play against are
going to be good teams. Weve got to
go out and play right baseball and do
small things.
The past few seasons have included plenty of highs for the Stoughton
High School girls golf program.
The Vikings nearly made state as
a team the past two seasons tying
for second last year and falling in a
three-team playoff by a stroke and
taking third in 2013, missing state

by five strokes and also ended a
12-year conference win streak by
Madison Edgewood in 2013 after
winning the Badger South Conference tournament.
Stoughton can trace much of that
success to players that have now
graduated including Becky Klongland, Kailey Taebel, Ashli Stolen,
Tayler Wise and Emily Auby. Auby

plays hockey for Plymouth (N.H.)
State, while Klongland (University of Wisconsin), Stolen (Cardinal
Stritch University), Taebel (Carthage
College) and Wise (Marian University) all play golf in college.
This season marks a new chapter
for the program with several new
faces expected to be given a chance

advanced two flights to the
WIAA Division 1 individual
state tennis tournament a year
ago, but enter the 2015 season
looking for even more success.
The Vikings finished 10-5
overall in dual meets last year
and third at the Badger South
Conference tournament,
but with nine of 10 starters
returning to the courts this
fall, expectations this year are
higher than an overhead putaway.
Juniors No. 1 doubles players Payton Kahl and Kendra
Halverson are coming off a
23-7 season, which saw them
win the first WIAA state doubles match for Stoughton in
more than 30 years.
Kahl and Halverson finished second in the Badger
Conference tournament and
second at sectionals, which
has them focused on taking
both titles this fall.
Though they didnt reach
state, playing at No. 3 doubles
last year, senior Carrie Aide
and junior Marissa Robson
posted a 24-4 record, including the Vikings first conference championship since
1994.
Going on to finish runnerup at sectionals, Aide and
Robson expect to make the
jump up to No. 2 doubles
this season, while aiming for
another conference and possible sectional title.
Senior Holly Brickson and
junior Sydney Johnson are
also back at No. 2 doubles.

Vikings kickoff new era Friday in Badger Conference cross against Reedsburg
JEremy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughton football finished

.500 in the Badger South Conference last year, but more
importantly ended a 15-year
playoff drought under secondyear coach Jason Thiry.
Now returning several key
starters, the Vikings and firstyear head coach Dan Prahl are
hoping to improve upon last
seasons 3-6 overall record and
third-place finish in the conference.
Stoughton kicks off the season
Friday at home against Reedsburg.
The Beavers are coming off
a 9-4 season, which saw them
advance to the Division 3 Level 4 game. Seeded sixth in the

playoffs, Reedsburg knocked off
third-seeded Elkhorn, secondseeded Monona Grove and topseeded Mount Horeb/Barneveld
before falling 42-21 against Wisconsin Lutheran with a chance to
reach state on the line.
Despite last seasons playoff run, Reedsburg has a lot
of question marks on offense
this season. The Beavers saw
quarterback Austin Schyvinck
(646 passing yards, 499 rushing yards), running back Dylan
Peterson (975 rushing yards, 11
touchdowns) and Nick Hasler
(328 yards) graduate following
last season.
Jack Yager returns as
Reedsburgs most experienced

passer, completing one of two
attempts last year for 18 yards.
Graduating the teams top
three rushers and a combined 32
touchdowns, senior running back
Chris Jepson (472 yards) expects
to inherit first-team reps.
While the Beavers have never
thrown the ball much, Zeffary
Smith and Jon Peterson return as
the only varsity pass catchers on
varsity last year.
Under center for the Vikings
last year, Jake Kissling completed 44.4 percent of his passes for 738 touchdowns and five
touchdowns in his first year as a
varsity starter. Now back for his
senior season, the Vikings are
hopeful Kissling can improve
upon those numbers.

While the teams top two
rushers (Alex Zacharias and
Zach Hasselberger) graduated
following last season, those
departures wont leave the cupboard bare for Stoughton.
Seniors Zach Kirby and Jakob
Benson highlight the returning
skill position players.
Kirby racked up 385 rushing
yards while also handling punting, kick and punt return duties.
Benson, meanwhile, hauled in
21 passes for 209 yards and one
touchdown to lead the Viking
wide receivers.
Tight end Buck Krueger is also
back after grabbing 10 passes for
135 yards and a touchdown last
season.
Linebacker Matt Wagner

returns as the teams leading
tackler, amassing 50 solo tackles, a sack and an interception
last year.
Defensive linemen Michael
Gerber and Jeremiah Jimenez
lead a talented group, which
despite the loss of Ben Brandt,
should be the strength of the
Vikings defense.
Gerber had two sacks and
one forced fumble, while Jiminez had a team-high six sacks.
Austin Benson also played well
along both lines, racking up 20
tackles on defense.
Kickoff at Collins Field on
Friday is set for 7 p.m.

Madison Edgewood finished first in the conference
last year and continues to look

strong, Reischel said.

especially tough at singles
with Maddie Molitor and Jessica Inman back
Monona Grove also returns
the majority of its lineup,
including sophomore Amanda
Newman, who is coming off
a foot injury and should challenge for the top spot in conference.
For us, we need to keep
Monona Grove at bay and
find a way to beat Edgewood, Reischel said. We
are strong at all spots, and will
have to capitalize on our depth
by having all four flights play
their best against Edgewood
and Monona Grove. The wins

could come from anywhere in
the lineup.
Dane County Invite

Stoughton swept all three
doubles flights to finish second overall at the Dane County Invitational last weekend
8.5 points behind Sun Prairie

loved you deeply.
We will watch for you
in the songbird and the
gentle breeze that blows
across the lake and in the
slowly falling autumn
leaf and every perfect
snowflake. Death does
not separate us from you
but we will miss you as
you were.
We love you!

paused promising art career Yard
The home of Kristin and David Pernic, 820 Lincoln Ave., has been chosen as the August Yard of the Month by Stoughton Heritage Garden
I found a wheelchair at
a thrift store for $10, she
said with apparent glee.
Its so much cheaper than
renting one.
She returned to Stoughton after living for a year
in Brooklyn, N.Y. where
she came across and purchased an old-world
lithography press a rare,
invaluable find for a printmaker. The press originated in Europe, probably
Germany, and is over 100
years old, Olson said.
With the new equipment, shes been experimenting with recording
movement in nature on
litho plates, she said.
The idea is to use the
tools that already exist in
nature, she explained.
Its all here.
In Olsons case, nature
is in her heavily wooded
back yard. Shes delved
Club.
into nature movement for

years as an artist, she said.
I record movement in
nature, so thats why the
woods is really perfect,
she said.
She recently was accepted as a guest scholar for
the fall semester at UWMadison, where shell
work with graduate students in an etching class.
Olson said returning to
her hometown, buying a
home and repurposing it as
a studio and micro-gallery
has helped her regain my
joy.
The community
response has been so supportive, she said. Ive
invited friends from San
Francisco to come and
make work with me, and I
have an ideal place to do it
without leaving home.
Anyone wishing to visit
Olsons gallery home can
make an appointment by
calling 444-9676.
