Engelberger elected council presidentBILL LIVICKUnifi ed Newspaper Group

At its April 15 reorga-nizational meeting, the Common Council elected Ald. Mike Engelberger to serve as its new president.

Engelberger (D-2) edged o u t t h e incumbent pres ident , Eric Hohol ( D - 4 ) , i n a 5-4 vote conducted b y s e c r e t paper bal-lot.

H o h o l and Ald. Tom Majewski (D-3) did not attend the meeting.

Engelberger, who was elected to the council in April 2012, did not seek the position.

He was nominated by Ald. Tom Selsor (D-4), who told the Hub he thinks it’s good to “move that position around, at least every other year, because it gives a fresh perspec-tive and a different way of doing things.”

Engelberger and Sel-sor both told the Hub they were surprised at the out-come of the vote.

“It was a surprise to me,” Engelberger said. “A couple hours before the meeting, I got a call from one of the council members (Selsor) asking if I want to be the council president. I said I’m not going to pursue it, but if I get nominated and elected I would serve. I didn’t go out and recruit votes or anything like that.”

Rally sends message of ‘love’Community shows support for family who received lynching threatVICTORIA VLISIDESUnifi ed Newspaper Group

It didn’t take long for members of the Stoughton community to show support to a family threatened by racially charged hate mail more than two weeks ago.

A r o u n d 1 0 0 p e o p l e packed into Criddle Park on Monroe St ree t las t Wednesday after a resi-dent led efforts to organize the “Just Love” rally for the Hale family. The Hales announced to local media the week before that they had received a letter depict-ing their son being lynched.

T w o l o c a l c h u r c h -e s , S t o u g h t o n U n i t e d

Methodist and St. Ann Catholic Church, joined other individuals in dis-seminating the flier for the rally both on paper and via email. The word spread online starting last Tues-day evening to community members in the Stoughton Area School District and to local civil rights groups.

Within about a day after it was announced, the vigil allowed concerned people to join Hester and Harry Hale in making a public statement that Stoughton doesn’t tolerate this type of behavior.

With several local news outlets watching, people at the rally conversed about

the incident, gave hugs and offered kind words of sup-port during the tranquil, rather quiet gathering.

Hester Hale, whose fam-ily has lived on Madison Street for six years, said the

Syttende Mai 2014

Deadlines near for annual festivalBrochures, buttons available this weekMARK IGNATOWSKIUnifi ed Newspaper Group

It might be hard still to imagine sitting along-side Main Street watch-ing a parade or cheering on canoe racers as they paddle down the Yahara River, but Syttende Mai is just two weeks away.

The registration dead-line for some events at the annual Norwegian heritage festival are creeping up, but planning for the event seems to be going smooth-ly, event coordinator Lau-ra Trotter told the Hub this week.

“It’s a lot easier with it being my second year,” Trotter said.

There haven’ t been any major hiccups so far.

Trotter is in the midst of getting the new festival tent planned out for the corner of Division Street at Main Street. The tent will house the opening cer-emonies and other events throughout the weekend.

She’s been working on details of the newer events like the strongman compe-tition and geocaching hunt.

walk were slated to jump May 1. Those who wish to join the canoe race should get their registration in before noon Thursday, May 15. The sooner the better, Trotter said.

“People always push that (deadline),” she said.

Detai ls about al l the events can be found in the

annual Syttende Mai bro-chure, which will be avail-able this week at many local merchants. There will also be buttons and coins for sale. The weekend this year focuses on the 200th anniversary of Norwegians signing their constitution. Artwork on the buttons will focus on that theme.

Trotter said purchasing a button is one of the best

ways to help the festival succeed.

“Because we’re so weath-er-dependent, getting those buttons sales is very impor-tant,” she said.

In addition to financial support, the festival is still looking for some volunteers for different events. People are needed to help moni-tor intersections during the race on Saturday morning. Sunday’s parade also needs more people along the route to make sure the entries are moving along at the right clip.

“You get a front-row spot for the parade and cool T-shirt,” Trotter said. “Those volunteers are cru-cial.”

Questions about volun-teers can be directed to the Stoughton Chamber of Commerce at 873-7912.

11 streets get special assessmentsBILL LIVICKUnified Newspaper Group

The Common Council last week unanimously approved a plan to replace sidewalk, curb and gutter, and some drive-way aprons on parts of almost a dozen streets in the city and charge property owners for the cost of improvements.

The council adopted a resolution stipulating that the amount assessed against any parcel “shall not be greater than the benefits” that a prop-erty derives from the work.

The work will begin in late June or early July at proper-ties on Church Street, Forton Street, Sundt Lane, Oakwood Court, Smedal Drive, Palmer Drive, Lincoln Avenue, Chap-in Lane, East Main Street, North Page Street and Ridge Street.

Street and Parks Depart-ment director Karl Man-the said Church Street and Ridge Street will receive the most improvements. Most of Church Street will be widened and angle parking on the street will be eliminated, Manthe said.

“Both sides will be getting new curb and gutter,” he said. “We’re going to widen the west side of the street, so that will have all new curb and gut-ter.”

Manthe said the work planned for this summer is nothing out of the ordinary.

“It’s a typical year,” he said. “It’s our basic pulverization project for most of it. Some are a full reconstruction proj-ect like Ridge and Church Street.”

He noted most of the streets

and sidewalks identified for improvements will be limited to specific locations that are in the worst shape.

“With the new ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) measures, whenever we do any street work we’ve got to look at the intersections to make sure that if it doesn’t have a ramp, that a ramp gets put in,” Manthe said. “Other-wise we’re just upgrading and making sure we’re in compli-ance.”

The city allows property owners to pay for most of the work on or before Nov. 1. If a property has more than $200 worth of improvements, the property owner can makes payments in five installments, at 3.75 percent interest. If the assessment is more than $1,500, a property owner can make 10 annual installments at the same interest rate. The council also has the ability to defer payments.

The city will hold a public hearing to explain the planned improvements at 7 p.m. Tues-day, May 13, at the Public Safety Building in the council chambers.

does not have a lot of duties, Engelberger said. He runs Commit tee of the Whole meetings and conducts council meet-ings when the mayor can-not attend. He may also be asked to represent the city at events when the mayor is absent.

Mayor Donna Olson described the council presi-dent position as “an impor-tant leadership role” in the city.

Engelberger’s election takes on added significance because he has consistently opposed the proposed Ket-tle Park West development. Hohol has consistently sup-ported it.

Enge lbe rge r sa id he th inks h i s nomina t ion “probably came up because of a little bit of a divide the council has over a couple of issues, mainly Kettle West. I don’t think that this

is going to do anything to change that.”

He thinks Hohol “was unbiased with regard to his council duties” and did a good job as council presi-dent.

Engelberger acknowl-edged that Hohol has been a strong supporter of Mayor Olson and added, “I also support the mayor.”

“We just differ on Kettle West,” he explained. “Basi-cally, the only place I differ with them is I don’t think it (the development) should be subsidized. I just think it’s a bad idea to subsidize retail for our city. I think if you look around you’ll see that most municipalities don’t subsidize those types of developments.”

Enge lbe rge r sa id he would continue to “do everything I can to turn people’s opinions on it.”

He’ll be up for re-elec-tion next April.

Stoughton Area School District

Summer school registration openEXCEL program offers variety of learning, funSCOTT DE LARUELLEUnified Newspaper Group

This isn’t your mother or father’s summer school.

This year, Stoughton Area School District stu-dents can learn about top-ics ranging from Greek mythology, fencing and environmental art to cook-ing, CPR and even learning how to play the guitar. Or maybe they want to learn about making stop-motion animation, or producing videos using iPads, or mak-ing wheel-thrown ceram-ics . Or maybe they’re more interested in “Around the World in 18 Days,” where students “travel”

to 18 different countries, learning about a country’s geography, people, food, wildlife, traditions and lan-guage.

Stoughton Area School District EXCEL coordina-tor Chris Keenan said both academic and enrichment courses are available for students in the district from

4K to high school juniors. They include technology, art, activities, academics, cultural learning and life skills.

She said the classes are designed for all district stu-dents to participate.

“Every student should have the opportunity to extend their practice in

math and reading in that 18 days – all students who really love reading and math, not just ones who need extra work,” Keenan said.

The idea of the classes is to offer coursework in language arts, reading and math, as well as “engaging topics they might not oth-erwise experience during the regular school year.”

Keenan said when select-ing courses, school offi-cials consider many fac-tors, like not including too many classes in a specific genre.

“We like to encourage our teachers to regularly propose new courses to ensure our learners are engaged,” she said. “I am grateful for all the wonder-ful staff that are involved with the program.”

Sign-up deadline is May 4The SASD summer EXCEL classes for students

now in grades K-11 are set for two sessions: one from June 16-26 and one from June 30 to July 11. Four-week classes will run from June 16 to July 11, with no classes scheduled for June 27 and July 4. The class hours run from 8-10:55 a.m. at Stoughton High School. Classes for 4K and 5K students will be held at Fox Prairie Elementary School from 8:15-10:45 a.m.

Registration is open until May 4.

Stoughton Trailers files trade petition against ChinaSCOTT GIRARDUnified Newspaper Group

Stoughton Trailers recently filed an unfair trade petition against Chinese competitors it alleges are using government subsidies and currency manip-ulation to undercut the market.

The allegations center on “53-foot domestic dry contain-ers,” used on trains, a market that has grown to 95 percent Chinese manufacturers in the last several years, according to a press release from Stoughton Trailers.

Stoughton Trailers is the only current U.S. manufactur-ing company to produce the containers, according to the press release, although market-ing manager Scott Nachreiner told the Courier Hub that there were more competitors in past years until the Chinese compa-nies began cornering the mar-ket.

Nachreiner said that alleged subsidies from the Chinese government along with cur-rency manipulation make it hard for U.S. companies to compete.

“It’s extremely hard to gain any orders when they’re way below the cost that we’re even

paying for material,” Nach-reiner said.

He added that the effects have hit local employment, with the product produced at the company’s Evansville plant. He said when the com-pany was at its busiest with the containers in the late 1990s, there were 400 employees at the plant, which now has about 100.

The company filed the peti-tion with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Interna-tional Trade Commission to request the government inves-tigate the alleged practices and apply tariffs on the product to equalize the competitive mar-ket.

He said a successful peti-tion won’t necessarily bring back a set number of employ-ees, though the company is “trying to continue to expand our employee base” in Evans-ville.

Nachreiner said he expects the process to play out within a 12-month timeframe.

“We’re not saying it’s a fact or set in stone that this is the way it’s going to turn out,” he said. “But it’s the first step in helping ourselves regain a little bit of a share in that market.”

Traffic stop leads to heroin chargeA 23-year-old McFar-

land man was arrested for possession of heroin following a traffic stop in late March on North Page Street in Stoughton.

Spencer H. Williams faces up to 3.5 years in prison for possession of narcotics.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court:

Police stopped Wil-liams because the regis-tration tag on his vehicle was not associated with the car. Officers discov-ered Williams had an

outstanding warrant and he was arrested. During the arrest, police found a clear baggie containing what was later tested to be heroin. A syringe and bottle cap used to cook the drug was also found in the car. Williams initially denied that the drug was his, but later told police he had bought the heroin for $50 in Madison.

Letters to the editor

Wisconsin should outlaw TIFInit ially started with good

intentions in mind, tax-increment financing (TIF) has turned into nothing more than a power grab for city officials by taking money from schools and other important urban services and giving it to politically connected developers.

Regardless if we need new development or not in Stoughton. TIF is not the way to do it and it is not needed for new growth in this city. Some say there has been no economic growth in Stoughton over the past 10 years. This is just not true. I know of at least a dozen businesses that popped up recent-ly (gotta love that Taco Bell/KFC) and I see new construction going on down town also out past Wal-mart their installing a new bank. No, people, Stoughton has grown and is still growing rapidly, not including the TIF project.

California was the first state to legalize TIF and is also the first state to make TIF illegal. The rea-son being is that the California Supreme court found TIF unconsti-tutional, saying cities do not have a constitutionally-given right to steal money from schools and other tax districts to use for their crony capi-talism and social engineering. The problem in California was a lot of communities were in serious debt after failed TIF development.

I think Wisconsin should fol-low suit and make TIF illegal to free up tax dollars that should be going to our K-12 schools and other community programs. TIF is not a morally right thing to do – it’s a gamble and our schools are at stake.

Be proud of our RSVP driversAs the volunteer driver coor-

dinator for RSVP services in Stoughton, I felt it my duty to tell everyone more about our RSVP volunteers.

There are approximately 15 drivers who receive assignments from me to drive local residents to various medical and other neces-sary appointments here in Stough-ton and throughout Dane County. There is no charge for this service, although donations are welcome.

They provide a valuable service, but in most cases they seek no recognition. They are courteous, friendly, punctual and reliable. Many of them refuse to submit

mileage reimbursement requests for themselves.

I hope everyone will take the time to thank our local volunteers. I can’t say enough about their willingness to serve. They are your neighbors and friends.

Personally, I can’t thank them enough for what they do. I am very proud to serve Stoughton through RSVP but I am even prouder of my drivers.

Thank you, all of you.

Honorees help build a better StoughtonT h e C i t y o f S t o u g h t o n

announced its volunteer, business and friend of youth of the year in April for National Volunteer Week.

A reception was held April 15 to honor community members at Stoughton City Hall.

The ceremonies recognized “everyone who volunteers their time and energy to help build a better Stoughton,” according to a news release by the city.

This year, the city had two Volunteers of the Year honor-ees: Melvin “Red” Benschop and a group of volunteers at the Stoughton Area Senior Center. The Friend of Youth award was given to Brad Milbauer and the Business of the Year was award-ed to Thomas Fendrick at Edward Jones.

Volunteers of the yearBenschop retired after 58 years

as a member of the Stoughton Fire Department in March. He was the 2007 State of Wiscon-sin American Legion Firefighter of the Year. He has served on the Cooksville Lutheran Church Council and the First Lutheran Church Council.

He is a member of First Luther-an Church and he is actively involved in the community. He is a member of the Wisconsin Health Care Association and was employed at Stoughton Hospital for 29 years. He was an Eagle Scout, and as a teen was honored by the Boy Scouts of America as well as the Red Cross for saving Andrea Juve from drowning.

He and his wife Beverly are always willing to lend a hand whenever they are asked.

All the employees a t the Stoughton Area Senior Center are so grateful for the senior center volunteers, including assistant director Hollee Comacho.

“The senior center volunteers contribute largely to the senior center’s core services including meal preparation and delivery, transportation to appointments, program organization and lead-ership, cleaning, reception help, committee service, etc.,” Coma-cho said. “Without them, these services would not be possible in the current capacity they exist.”

A few of the items volunteers help out with are organizing and leading programs, front desk reception, committee participa-tion, helping with office tasks,

nutrition site, gardening, distrib-uting publications, decorating and other projects.

Opportunities range from one time tasks to ongoing projects. Many hours of volunteer work are devoted to older adults in the community who do not even set foot in the Senior Center.

The RSVP driver service is a program in which volunteer drivers deliver meals or provide rides to medical appointments for people 60 years and older. The center thanks one member in particular, Richard Hoffman, for his 621 hours toward coordinat-ing and driving for this program. These volunteers, including those who deliver meals or food pan-try items, report back to our staff when clients may need extra sup-port or assistance.

Youth volunteerBrad Milbauer has positively

impacted the Stoughton Area Youth Center (SAYC) throughout the years. Youth center director Greg Hoyte said Milbauer stops in at least twice a month to offer assistance and to see what needs the SAYC has. Additionally, he is constantly seeking out new ways to help and plays an active role in the success of the SAYC.

He has donated not only his time, but also a 50 gallon fish tank, a foosball table, and helped build an outdoor skating rink. He facilitates a golf outing every year

and is always proactively seeking out new ideas to help the SAYC.

“He is all about kids,” Hoyte said. “I wish all of my volunteers would be as amazing as Brad.”

Business person of the year

Thomas Fendrick, from Edward Jones, was born and raised in Stoughton and has owned his own business for 16 years.

He is involved in the com-munity by donating his time to the Stoughton Holiday Fund, the Food Pantry, START program, Syttende Mai and many other community events. He has spon-sored at least one youth ball team every year, many local golf out-ings and Relay For Life. He is a proud supporter of the Stoughton Schools, The Senior Center, Girl and Boy Scouts (he was once a Boy Scout leader), and many oth-er events/programs in Stoughton.

He is a Rotarian and also is cur-rently involved and working on a Food 4 Kidz project. He believes in supporting local businesses and he is always offering to help the people around him.

Nat ional Volunteer Week reflects the power that volunteers and extraordinary business own-ers have to inspire by example –volunteers both encourage those they help and motivate others to serve.

Kegonsa students featured in opera performance

A group of Kegonsa Ele-mentary School students showcased their skills with professional opera singers on stage April 13.

Kegonsa’s Working for Kids and Madison’s Opera for the Young worked with Kegonsa’s Lissa Benson to prepare students for the opera “The Barber of Seville” by Gioachino Ros-sini. The opera was per-formed at the Stoughton Opera House.

For those who missed the April 13 performance but would still like to catch the students in action, it will happen again on from 9-10 a.m. May 2, at the Com-munity Building Gym. All of district’s K-5 students will attend, and community members are welcome.

Kegonsa’s involvement in the Opera for the Young is a long-standing tradition that started when Cheryl Frazier taught elementary music here, Benson said.

“Kegonsa Working for Kids funds our participa-tion in the opera program every year,” Benson says. “Every year, our 4th and 5th grade students audition

with me to be part of the opera. I get to choose up to 16 students to sing on stage with the professional opera singers. 2 of those 16 students had a special solo speaking part this year. I also got to choose up to 16 students to be part of an off-stage chorus that sup-ports the on stage perform-ers by singing, but does not move around on stage with the opera singers. The students learn most of the singing and speaking parts with me and then are taught movements and staging by professional opera singers in the 45 minutes prior to the show.”

Friday, May 2 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.Saturday, May 3 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

‘First Saturdays’ aim to draw visitors downtownArts, entertainment will compliment shoppingMARK IGNATOWSKIUnified Newspaper Group

Main Street looks to be bustling Saturday as down-town businesses work with local artists and musicians to bring a “party atmosphere” to the city’s core.

The goal is to use Stough-ton’s vibrant art scene to help promote its downtown shopping destinations by giving people a chance to check out both at the same time. Stoughton Yoga own-er Marlene Widra, who said about two dozen businesses have signed on to have some sort of promotion, is spear-heading the event.

“It will be like a street fair atmosphere,” Widra said. “There will be scattered musicians, artists, sales and food.”

The first event runs from 10 a.m. until noon Saturday, May 3, along Main Street in the city’s downtown core area. Details of what artists will be where were still being worked out, but some shops had already confirmed that they’d be hosting an artist.

For example, you’ll find the Hootenanny open jam band outside the Yahara River Grocery Co-op. This musical group is open to acoustic musicians of all abilities and has been jam-ming inside the co-op all winter long. They’ll take their act outdoors this week-end, Widra said. There will be handmade jewelry, tex-tiles and artwork outside other shops. Demonstrations on jewelry making and fur-niture painting can also be found.

“This kind of event is good for people who might not go to galleries or things

like that,” Widra said. “This is event is friendly for everyone – for people who want to feel that buzz down-town.”

Widra said there would be similar events planned for the first Saturday of every month through September. The events are still evolving and there’s time for new art-ists and businesses are wel-come to join in the events anytime.

This isn’t the first time Stoughton’s downtown has been the focus of shopping and entertainment special events. The Chamber of Commerce has been work-ing to promote Third Thurs-days where stores stay open late one night each month to encourage more foot traf-fic at downtown retail loca-tions.

The First Saturdays events were also promoted before – in 2008 – but lacked the staffing necessary to suc-ceed, Widra said. The First Saturdays of half a decade ago also lacked the arts and entertainment component.

Widra – who recently joined the Stoughton Arts Council – said there’s a thriving group of artists in the community and that these types of events are the perfect way to show that the city’s downtown is alive and open for business.

Feedback sought for SASD Science programs

The Stoughton Area School District is seeking public input about how to strengthen its Science and Engineering programs and would like your feedback.

This spring, the Stough-ton Area School District is reviewing those programs and collaborating with professionals in businesses and industry, educators from public schools and universities and commu-nity members to study data and seek input from par-ents, teachers and students in the district. The cul-mination of this program review will inform work to define new textbooks, technology and courses.

The district has also

scheduled two listening session forums to gather more input: Wednesday, May 7 at 6:30 p.m., or Thursday, May 8 at 8 a.m. Both sessions will take place in the Staff Develop-ment Center at the Admin-istration & Educational Services Center (AESC) at 320 North Street in Stoughton.

If you have any further questions or comments about the Science Program Review, please contact:

SHS variety show Saturday‘Composers Concert’ new feature this year

Stoughton High School Music students will renew a longtime tradition Satur-day night, and hopefully start a new one.

First, the 46th annual Band Variety Show will take place at 7 p.m. Satur-day, May 3, at Stoughton High School. The tradition began with former SHS band director Roger Gohl-ke and has continued to this day, says Dan Schmidt, the current director of bands at Stoughton High School.

The theme of this year’s show is “Channel Surfing,” and the Concert, Sym-phonic, Marching, and Jazz Bands will all be perform-ing music pertaining to that theme and other to com-memorate another success-ful year of performance.

The Variety show is one of the few with a ticket charge. Tickets can be ordered ahead of time from Schmidt or at the door. Tickets cost $8 for adults and $6 for K-12 students. Children under 5 are admit-ted for free. Proceeds from the Variety Show help to fund SHS Marching and Concert Bands, as well pro-gram costs such as trans-portation and sheet music purchases.

The department will fol-low that show with a SHS Composer’s Concert at 7 p.m. May 23 at the Stough-ton Village Players The-ater.

The performance will feature all original works composed and performed by SHS students. Schmidt hopes it becomes an annual event.

“It occurred to me that students in [Advanced Placement Music] Theory were studying music in a ‘theoretical’ way and were not applying the con-cepts learned to their daily music-making or using that same knowledge to create music,” Schmidt said. “I also believe that students in our high school are capable of creating great music. We have many concerts dedicated to performing the works that others have cre-ated but no concerts dedi-cated solely to performing the works that our students have created. It is my hope that the Composers’ Con-cert will work to solve the above three issues.”

This concert will be presented free of charge. The Village Players have helped provide the space for the concert.

“I think it’s important that we get our music into the community as much as possible and the Village Players venue is perfect for this event,” Schmidt said.

Admit When You’re Wrong

One of the barriers to good relations is when people dig their heels in and refuse to admit

when they are wrong. Many an argument could be shortened by the offending party simply

admitting his offense and sincerely asking for forgiveness. In fact, many arguments could be avoided by apologizing or admitting ahead of time that you might be wrong. It is always a good disarming tactic to let people know that you could be wrong about something, or to

offer your apologies in advance for what you are about to do. Moreover, people who refuse to

apologize even when they know they are wrong, or who offer insincere apologies are seen as pride-filled, dishonest, and not interested in

smooth relations. If you want to get along with your family, friends and colleagues, be quick to admit when you’re wrong. This advice also applies to your relationship with God. That is,

admit to God when you have sinned and accept His forgiveness just as readily.

–Christopher Simon via Metro News Service

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes

them will obtain mercy.Proverbs 28:13

vigil helped ease the fam-ily’s distress, but the safety concern hasn’t subsided. She said they are consider-ing moving away.

The letter, which they received April 16, contained an image they described as their son Javon’s face super-imposed on an image of one of two lynching victims hanging from a tree, Hes-ter Hale told the Hub last Wednesday afternoon.

It had no return address and was addressed to Javon, who had attended Stoughton High School from 2009 to 2012 but moved to Sun Prai-rie and graduated from Sun Prairie High School in 2013.

The image also showed blood, as well as white indi-viduals “celebrating” among the victims, Hester said. At the bottom of the page it had text reading, “Your days are numbered,” she said.

Stoughton police chief Greg Leck said the depart-ment is exhausting local, s ta te and even federal resources to investigate the incident, which is ongoing. The letter is being analyzed at the state crime lab, Leck confirmed Tuesday after-noon.

Emotional tollHester said the incident

has weighed heavily on her family, and it’s difficult to watch their eight children feel threatened.

“It’s just so hard,” she said, choking back tears. “I didn’t really know what depression was or all that anxiety stuff until …”

The incident has been especially hard on Hester’s 85-year-old grandmother. It has, Hester said, brought up traumatic memories from growing up in a racially divided America devoid of civil rights.

But among the distur-bance, Hester said the fam-ily finds comfort in the out-pouring of support and from their friendly neighborhood.

“On my block, we like family,” she said.

Hester said Friday after-noon that even though they “love” Stoughton, they are considering moving because of the fear-inducing incident. Hester also said they felt Stoughton police weren’t sensitive enough to what the family was going through.

She said police officials

made her feel as though they shouldn’t have gone to the media during a meeting with police, the family and Mayor Donna Olson last Tuesday.

“He made us feel as we (were) doing things wrong,” she said of Leck. “And that we messed up the investigation – that we were putting the word out.”

They placed the ini-tial 911 call at 5:37 p.m. on Wednesday, April 16, according to Stoughton police records. The next day, Hester and Harry went public with the story, call-ing local news stations like WISC TV-3.

Leck said that his depart-ment has been exhausting resources to collect and process evidence, as well as do interviews for the case. That got more difficult when the case got “extra attention and affected our ability to talk to more peo-ple,” Leck said. “Those who were involved may not be as cooperative due to the attention.”

He also said that , of course, Hester is “justly” concerned and offended by the incident, but that these investigations take time because “we want them to be accurate and thorough.”

“It takes time to get fin-gerprints and DNA labs done,” he said. “Hopefully, we’ll get some results back in the very near future.”

National agencies are also involved in the case, including the U.S. Postmas-ter General and resources from the FBI.

“We are doing everything we possibly can to solve this,” Leck said. “This kind of stuff doesn’t happen in Stoughton on a regular basis. I want everyone to know we are taking it very seriously. We are using all the resources available to try to solve this.”

In an article in the Hub last week, Lt. Pat Conlin said one possible charge for the person responsible could be a felony – threat-ening to injure someone.

Rally of supportWhile police investigate,

Hester and Harry have taken it upon themselves to spread awareness about the issue.

“I just want people to know this is not a joke,” Hester said. “It’s not funny, at all. Not at all. And, you know, if someone’s child did that, people need to talk to their kids and be aware of things like this. You know, this is not OK.”

Within a week, a sup-portive response material-ized, coming from not just Stoughton residents, but also civil rights supporters in the Madison area, including a call to action from the Madi-son Institute for Healing Racism to attend the vigil.

“It shows how much peo-ple care here,” said Rev. Dawn Jeffers Ramstad, who is the pastor at Stoughton United Methodist Church, where the Hales attend church.

Last Wednesday’s “Just Love” vigil included prayer led by Jeffers Ramstad and pastor Jerry Hancock of First Congregational United Church of Christ in Madi-son.

H a r r y H a l e , w h o m neighbor Amber Schwenn described as one of the friendliest people you’ll meet, brought the racially diverse group together by initiating a “group hug” with everyone at the rally. After-ward, attendees including Mayor Olson marched to the Hale residence a couple of blocks away.

The crowd also included

concerned parents who brought their kids to the rally.

Resident Justin Richter, who is also a member of Stoughton Fire Department, brought one of his three chil-dren who go to Stoughton Area School District schools to show him that “this type of thing is not OK,” he said.

Other supporters includ-ed Andrea Morton and her daughter, who goes to Sand-hill Elementary. Morton

found out about the rally after she received a flier from the school and attend-ed with her friend Sassalee Bluford.

Even though the residents didn’t know the family per-sonally, they said just to think about the nature of the letter was “upsetting,” and they wanted to show sup-port.

“I thought we were past all this,” Bluford said.

Wisconsin’s 1.27 million dairy cows produce 3.2 billion gallons of milk and enough manure to fill almost 3,000 Olympic-size swim-ming pools a year, said Steve Car-penter, director of UW-Madison’s Center for Limnology, who has studied the water quality of Madi-son’s lakes for 40 years.

“The automation, the technolo-gies that farmers use today have made them very successful,” said Monte Lamer, a farm boy from Tomahawk and former power plant operator in Alaska who is now plant manager for the Clear Horizons community digester out-side of Waunakee.

“At the same time, their success is showing up in our waterways.”

According to experts, agricul-ture accounts for roughly 70 per-cent of the phosphorus runoff in watersheds across the state, with urban runoff accounting for the remaining 30 percent.

It is closer to an 80-20 split in the Yahara Watershed in Dane County, said Carpenter, who hopes to find a way for the dairy industry to thrive while protecting water quality.

The agricultural runoff that often turns Madison’s lakes unpleasant by creating algal blooms that look and smell bad, clog boat motors and close beaches is expected to only get worse.

Climate change is the main rea-son, experts say.

There were zero rain events of more than 3 inches in the 1980s, four rain events of more than 3 inches in 1990s and eight events of more than 3 inches in the 2000s, Carpenter said.

“A 3-inch rain event can move a lot of manure and a lot of soil in the lakes at once,” Carpenter said. “And we are seeing more of those big storms.”

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-driven regulations are calling for the state to get phos-phorus out of its lakes. Carpenter and Lamer are among a growing chorus of dairy industry support-ers who see manure digesters as key to lowering high phosphorus levels in waterways to meet the tougher regulations.

Since 2001, manure digesters have been popping up across the state. Wisconsin now has 34, the most in the nation, with two more scheduled to begin operating by 2015. In all these digesters, bacte-ria eat biomass like manure, food scraps or whey and emit energy in the form of methane gas.

Manure digesters cannot remove all the phosphorus from waste, nor do they completely remove other contaminants like hormones and anti-microbials, said Sarah Yang, a water evaluation toxicologist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

The Dane County community digester is designed to remove 60 percent of the phosphorus from the processed manure, according to the DNR.

“Compared to straight land application, the digesters have the ability to degrade those con-taminants, somewhat,” Yang said. “But they were really designed to reduce pathogens, greenhouse gas emission and minimize odor.”

‘A political compromise’Now, however, a changed politi-

cal climate that is more hostile to renewable energy is stalling digester growth.

And spills are raising doubts about digesters’ reliability.

Three recent well-publicized spills of 435,000 gallons of liquid manure from Wisconsin’s first “community” manure digester, in Waunakee, contaminated a creek and led to notices of environmental

violations.“Right now, the management

of the (manure) runoff is a politi-cal compromise. And I understand the sensitivities that need to be addressed there,” Carpenter said. “But if, as a society, we wanted to have clean lakes, we could do it.”

Annual phosphorus runoff into Lake Mendota has fluctu-ated between 27,000 pounds and 178,000 pounds over the past 38 years with no apparent improve-ments in water quality, Carpenter said.

For years, Richard Lathrop, an honorary fellow at UW-Madison’s Center for Limnology and a retired DNR research limnologist, has been telling anyone who will listen that farmers need help processing their manure.

Best management practices — planting cover crops to prevent runoff, limiting manure spreading during winter months, and follow-ing nutrient management plans — are helpful but will not cut phos-phorus and nitrogen levels enough to really impact water quality, Lathrop said.

For example, Dane County requires farmers to have a permit to spread liquid manure on fro-zen ground, said Kevin Connors, director of Dane County’s depart-ment of land and water resources. Lathrop estimates that 40 percent of that manure runs off snow or frozen ground between January

and March and ends up in the Yahara watershed.

“We have to think about a whole new future — and manure is the path to that future,” Lathrop said. “Soil erosion reduction practices are not going to solve water pollu-tion.”

Farms across the state also put together nutrient management plans. The plans, often partially paid for with government funding, outline when and where farmers spread their manure.

Impractical for someLaurie Fischer, executive direc-

tor of the Dairy Business Associa-tion, an organization that works to build a positive image and politi-cal environment for the state’s $26 billion dairy industry, said there are 10,800 farms in Wisconsin and manure digesters do not make eco-nomic sense for some.

“The big solution for the phos-phorus problem is the nutrient management plans,” Fischer said. “When farmers use these plans and rotate their crops, they can actually save money by not having to buy (or buy as much) fertilizer.”

The group’s president, Jerry Meissner, has a digester on his farm and Fischer said it is impor-tant to Meissner that other pro-ducers in the state have access to manure digesters.

“What’s happening right now. It is definitely a concern,” Fischer

said. Most farms lack the capacity

to store their manure through the winter months. Farmers turn to manure pits for storage, but those have problems, too. The pits are a source of methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, Lathrop said.

And the more manure is moved around, the greater the risk for spills.

In the past 10 years, 6.9 mil-lion gallons of manure have spilled across the state from tanker trucks or digesters, or leaked from lagoons, according to the DNR.

Shahla Werner, director of the Sierra Club’s John Muir Chapter, said the state needs to mandate additional safeguards includ-ing automatic shutoff valves and alarms, and buffers to contain manure leaks.

The Sierra Club, while con-cerned about water quality, oppos-es subsidies for digesters, Werner said.

“We would rather see the farm-ers who are profiting pay for them. If any other waste producer was producing a steady waste stream, they would not be rewarded,” she said.

The community digester located near Waunakee is the state’s first to process manure from more than one farm. Thousands of gal-lons of manure from 2,400 cows on three nearby farms is pumped daily through underground pipes to the digester. Its purpose is to keep phosphorus from polluting the Yahara watershed.

Record highlights first Simpson Relays win in SHS historyANTHONY IOZZOAssistant sports editor

Last Thursday’s first-place in the 800-medley relay meant more than helping the Stoughton High School girls track and field team to its first ever win at the Simpson Relays at Monroe High School.

Junior Hannah Sonsalla, sopho-more Maren Gryttenholm, fresh-man Aly Weum and freshman Ken-dra Halverson also picked up a meet and school record time of 1 minute, 52.26 seconds.

Graduates Brianna Bower, Mack-enzie Bower, Riley Jamison and Amanda Staffen held the previous school record with a time of 1:56.6.

Weum made the first-place in the event possible by making up four seconds on the final leg of the 400 to catch Monona Grove sophomore Kaylee Hinson at the line.

“It was super-impressive that they were able to do what they did,” head coach Eric Benedict said.

The win also helped the Vikings claim its first ever Simpsons Relays title. The girls collected 101 points with three other winners, six second places and a third place.

The hurdle shuttle relay team of junior Alexa Deutsch, sophomore Shelby Orcutt and freshman Kylie Lynch took first in 54.53. The triple jump team of junior Megan Reese, freshman Payton Kahl and

freshman Mya Lonnebotn won with a distance of 94 feet, 11 inches, and senior Maren Schultz, junior Han-nah Posick and Kahl took the high jump with a height of 14-6.

“This is a huge accomplishment to win a meet that is really very competitive with teams like Mono-na Grove and Sun Prairie and Mon-roe – teams that are very good track programs,” Benedict said. “Relay meets really show the depth of your team, and I think it showed through on Friday night.”

Posick, Gryttenholm, Sonsalla and Halverson took second in the 4x200 (1:49.99), and junior Kelsey Jenny, senior Katherine Rude, junior Nikki Staffen and Reese were runners-up in the distance medley (13:27).

Gryttenholm, Staffen, Sonsalla and Jenny also took second in the 4x400 (4:17.03), while Kahl, Res-se and Lonnebotn were second in the long jump (46-6 1/4). Juniors Alexus Crokett, Savanna Smith and Allie Niemeyer were runners-up in the shot put (100-0), while junior Ila Giese, Niemeyer and Smith were second in the discus (272-5).

The 4x100 team of freshman Corinne Olson, senior Mykala Con-roy, freshman Isabel Dennis and Deustch took third in 55.19.

Monona Grove took second with 84 points, while Sun Prairie was third with 69.

Benedict said that the success against conference teams in the last few weeks shows the possibilities the Vikings have, but he expects the conference meet to be a lot different in a month.

“A lot of schools have some very good athletes that are doing good things right now,” he said. “It might not come down to who has the best team but who has the best athletes in certain events.”

Stoughton QuadThe Lady Vikings hosted Madi-

son Edgewood, Milton and Monroe on Tuesday and won with 102 1/2 points.

Gryttenholm won the 100 (13.3), while Weum took the 200 (27.26). Deutsch won the 100 hurdles in 17.03 and Sonsalla won the 300 hurdles in 49.3.

Gryttenholm, Posick, Lonnebotn and Kahl won the 4x200 in 1:55.5. Crockett won the shot put with a throw of 35-0, and Schultz won the high jump in 4-10.

Weum added a second place in the 1,600 in 5:50, while Staffen took second in the 3,200 in 12:08.1.

Halverson (13-9) and Kahl (13-9) took second and third in the long jump, respectively.

Early second half goal not enough in tough lossANTHONY IOZZOAssistant sports editor

The Stoughton High School girls soccer team hosted Badger South rival Fort Atkinson last Thurs-day and fell 2-1 after a late goal by Brigette Jira.

Jira, who scored the first goal of the game, was subbed in on a cor-ner kick, and Stoughton didn’t mark her in time – allowing Jira to sneak into the penalty box and get the goal in the 69th min-ute.

The Vik ings t ra i l ed 1-0 at halftime, and head coach Dave Wermuth said that he told his team to possess the ball bet-ter in the second half. It only took 43 seconds into the second for the girls to

heed that advice. Maddie Posick knocked

in the equalizer with an assist from Emma Holtan in the 40th minute.

“We talked about get-ting ourselves fired up for the second half and working on making those good passes,” head coach Dave Wermuth said. “It couldn’t be any quicker of a turnaround to tie the game up.”

H a n n a h W o o d f i n -ished with three saves for Stoughton, while Megan Jordan picked up three for the Blackhawks.

W e r m u t h s a i d t h e match was played evenly, and the girls have been improving with time of possession in every game, but the girls need to con-tinue to improve in that

area to turn some of the close losses into wins.

“We are making a con-sorted effort to control possession, and I think they are getting better and better at it,” he said.

Stoughton travels to Monona Grove at 7 p.m. Thursday and hosts Lake Mills at 7 p.m. Friday.

Stoughton finishes the week at 7 p.m., Tuesday, May 6, against Madison Edgewood at home.

Softball splits two games last weekJEREMY JONESSports editor

Stoughton softball Thursday got in two games last week before more spring rains forced the cancelation of another two games.

Monroe 4, Stoughton 3Holly Brickson went 2-for-3 at the plate

Thursday in Monroe and Madi Sehmer dou-bled in a 4-3 loss.

Sarah Seaton allowed one earned run on seven hits. She walked two and struck out six in the loss.

Monroe’s Natalie Dillon only gave up four hits, but surrendered three earned runs on six walks. The Cheesemakers, ranked second on the Wisconsin Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association Division 2 state poll, improved to 11-1 overall, 4-0 in conference with the win. The Vikings fell to 2-4 overall (1-3 con-ference) with the loss.

The green flag set to wave at MIS season opener is May 4

The sixth annual ARCA Midwest Tour Joe Shear Classic returns to Madison International Speedway on Sunday, May 4. This will be the first race of the sea-son at Madison before the track returns to Friday night racing on May 23.

The event honors one of the great-est short track racers in the country, the late Joe Shear of Clinton, who won four track championships at Madison (1973,1974,1980, 1982) and took home 66 feature wins.

“This is a very special event at Madi-son,” said MIS owner Terry Kunes. “We are excited about the 2014 racing season here and this is the perfect event to open our year by honoring a true legend of the short tracks, Shear.”

The ARCA Midwest Tour will bring the best drivers in the region to Wisconsin’s Fastest Half-Mile. The Joe Shear Classic will be a 100-lap event that will be split

into two segments: 64 laps followed by a short break and then a 36-lap dash. The American Ethanol Super Trucks will also be part of the racing program.

Travis Sauter was victorious in last year’s race and carries a nine race win streak at Madison into the 2014 season.

Other winners of the “Classic” include Nathan Haseleu (2009), Steve Carl-son (2010), Ross Kenseth (2011), and Andrew Morrissey (2012).

Action begins on Saturday, May 3 with an open practice session and free grand-stand admission for the fans.

On Sunday action begins with practice at 11:30 a.m., qualifying at 1:15 p.m. fol-lowed by opening ceremonies at 2:15 and racing to follow. Adult admission is $15 with seniors (60 plus) and students (12-17) at $13 and free for kids eleven and under.

that. “We have a strong inter-

est in girls basketball now, and we are hoping to take that to a new direction.”

Dow said he a l ready started the hiring process and expects the new open-ing to be posted for two weeks.

There wil l then be a sc reen ing process and interviews in mid-May with the goal of hiring a new coach by the end of the school year.

The plan is to have a coach in place so the play-ers can have an under-standing of the direction

the new coach will bring, Dow said.

Vikings have mixed resultsJEREMY JONESSports editor

Rain limited the Stoughton boys tennis team to only the Madison East Invitational last week.

The Vikings kicked off the tournament ear-ly Friday afternoon against Verona at Hruska Park where only the No. 3 doubles team of Breckin Houser and Ike Landers picked up a victory in a 6-1 loss. Houser and Landers played to a 6-4, 6-1 victory over the Wildcats.

Verona went on to knock off Madison East 4-3 in the championship match.

Stoughton meanwhile, traveled to Madi-son La Follete later that afternoon for a dual against the Lancers, which they won 4-3.

The Vikings received another win from Houser and Landers at 3 doubles 6-2, 6-2 and Austin Scheel and Asher McMullin added a 6-3, 6-3 win at 1 doubles.

Nathan Lawlor and Gabe Rowley helped Stoughton close out the dual with a 6-1, 2-6, 10-8 and 7-5, 2-6, 10-3 victory at 2 and 3 sin-gles, respectively.

Dog wash fundraiser May 10 The Friends of Viking

Park will hold a dog wash fundraiser May 10 to sup-port the purchase of a fence for the dog exercise area of the Viking Dog Park.

T h e n e w h a l f - m i l e fence, which wil l run alongside the Hwy. N side of the park, will prevent the common occurrence of dogs running across a small trench of the river and getting onto Hwy. N, where cars travel 55 mph or faster.

Friends member Karla Gander said the fence will help dog owners feel safe about bringing their pets there.

The timing of this proj-ect comes in response to an accident that affected many of the park’s visi-tors. In February 2013, a small terrier named Dick-ens ran across the ice and onto the highway, where a truck hit him and his pel-vis was broken in three places.

Dickens was lucky in his survival and recovery. The new fence should prevent accidents like this from happening in the future.

Support for the fence project has come from a number of local businesses and organizations. Dane County Parks will provide a matching grant for funds raised for the park, up to a set limit.

T h e p a r k s d e p a r t -ment has also provided tools and will supply the

equipment needed to erect the fence, so only the raw mater ia ls are needed. Operat ion Fresh Star t has offered to help do the work of erecting the fence along with the Parks employees, and Stoughton Lumber has offered to sell the fencing at cost for the project. Thrivent Financial has also provided financial support for the fence proj-ect.

The event will be held at Claws 2 Paws, 1305 E. Main St., on Saturday May 10, from 8 a.m.–4 p.m. The day will include a dog wash station, dog-training tips, face painting and the Stoughton Police Depart-ment’s K9 unit.

Pork sliders, chips and drinks will also be avail-able to purchase.

Individuals who are interested in donating to the cause can join the Friends group during the fundraiser or they can send a check made out to Friends of Viking Park, Karla Gander, treasurer,
