Family-owned Haunted Barn to close after 10 yearsVictoria VlisidesUnifed Newspaper Group

Larry Twining doesnt keep skel-etons in the closet.

We keep em hanging in thegarage, he says, with a grin.

Thats nothing new to the Twiningfamily, which has owned and operateda seasonal Halloween attraction, TheHaunted Barn of Stoughton, for thepast 10 years, and will make this yeartheir last.

What will be weird for the fam-ily who loves all things haunted is not

having skeletons and any other terrify-ing props around their 11-acre farmetteoff of U.S. Hwy. 51. Larry, wife Kris,and children Tyler, 13, and Traci, 17,will put on their biggest Haunted Barnexperience yet starting this weekend.

With a crew of around 80 peopleincluding security, scare actors, andparking attendants, the estimated9-acres of scare includes two hauntedbarns, a cemetery, mausoleum andwoods. Thats grown from their firstyear with just a handful of staff and partof one barn to attract around 4,000 peo-ple in their previous seasons.

Its a lot of work, and a lot ofexpense, said Larry, whos passed ona love for spooky Halloween tricks andhaunted fun to his family.

The Twinings look back fondly

on a decade of scaring the crap out ofvisitors. Yet, they barely have time toreflect while getting ready to premiere

their biggest haunted barn yet, which

they began preparing for in February.They have a lot of volunteer help inpreparation, too, such as StoughtonitesBill Burrington and Jennifer Slackwhove been helping out for the pastfour years.

Its another full-time job, saidBurrington, whos a dump truck driv-er.

Even though the business can bementally and physically draining, Krissaid building a haunted house eachyear has been rewarding.

Theres that electricity in the air,and theres nothing else like it, shesaid.

But, the family admits, it doescome at price and not just the $18fee of admission. They havent had

Seven months afterthe city commissioned a$30,000 report on mod-ernizing its organization-

Tower lawsuit tossed, but case may go onseth JoVaagHub correspondent

A Dane County judge lastMonday shot down anotherattempt by a Tomah compa-ny to build a 488-foot radiotower in the Town of Rut-

land.But the years-long sagainvolving Magnum Commu-nications might not be overyet, according to the com-panys attorney.

Magnum filed the lawsuitagainst Rutland and DaneCounty last October, askingJudge William C. Foust tooverturn a 2011 decision bytown officials blocking thecompany from building thetower in a farm field betweenOregon and Stoughton nearOld Stage Road. The tow-er would service a futureStoughton-based FM radiostation.

By denying Magnumsclaim last Monday, the

judge basically agreed thatwe acted legally, said DaleBeske, chair of the Rutlandtown board.

However, company own-er Dave Magnum is stillmulling his next steps, saidhis attorney, Michael P.Screnock of Madison firmMichael Best and Friedrich.

Magnum could appeal thejudges decision or start over

by submitting a new appli-cation with Rutland to buildthe tower. A new applicationcould have a better chance ofsuccess, following changesto state law this spring gov-erning communication tow-ers, Screnock said.

It seemed to us that thejudge was suggesting that(applying again) may bethe more reasonable step totake, Screnock said.

Opponents of the towerhave claimed the towerwould mar the rural land-scape and harm nearby prop-erty values.

Magnums suit claimedthe town and county boardsoverstepped their authority,as Dave Magnum said hisapplication met all local andcounty ordinances.

The tower would serviceFM channel 95.9 WBKY,currently in Portage. Thechange from Portage toStoughton was approved bythe Federal CommunicationsCommission in April 2006.

Prior to voting down thetower in 2011, town officialsfaced pressure from nearbymunicipal and school offi-cials including in Stough-ton and Oregon to approveit. Proponents said a radiostation could improve com-munication in the event ofemergency and pave the way

for local broadcasts of foot-ball games and other sportingevents. And theyve notedRutland already has three cellphone towers.

The site is owned by sib-lings Sue Wollin and DavidSoldwedel, who have agreed

to sell Magnum the land forthe tower.The site was chosen

because it fits inside asmall segment of land thatwouldnt interfere with otherarea FM radio frequencies,Magnum has said.

standardized tests, wheth-er students have shownimprovement in math andreading on those tests,and student graduationand attendance rates. Eachschool and the district asa whole then falls intoone of five accountabil-ity categories based ontheir overall score: signifi-cantly exceeds expecta-tions (overall score of 83to 100); exceeds expecta-tions (73 to 82.9); meetsexpectations (63 to 72.9);meets few expectations (53to 62.9); and fails to meetexpectations (52.9 or low-

er).Stoughton schools tend-ed to exceed the state aver-age in this years reportcards, although the dis-trict (63.3) as a whole fellbelow the state average(66.8) as far as the scoreit received for closing itsachievement gap. But four

Stoughton schools (Keg-onsa, Fox Prairie, River

Bluff and SHS) all showedimprovement in that areacompared to last yearsreport cards.

The district as a wholeexceeds the state averageon student achievement(72.6 vs. the state averageof 66.1), student growth(63 vs. 60.6) and in the on-track and postsecondaryreadiness category (88.8vs. 84.9).

Of the states 424 publicschool districts, more thanhalf were listed as meetsexpectations, with 270,with 133 districts garner-ing the title of exceeds

expectations. Ten districtswere listed as meets fewexpectations, nine weres ign i f i cant ly exceedsexpectations and one - theMilwaukee Public SchoolDistrict - failed to meetexpectations.

Out of 2,111 schoolsevaluated, 88.1 percent

met, exceeded or signifi-cantly exceeded expecta-tions, up from 85.8 percentin last years initial grad-ing.

Tony Evers said the reportsoffer valuable information,and a starting point forplanning improvements.

Addit ional ly, reportcards show how Wiscon-sin can continue to refineits accountability systemto truly serve the educa-tion community, parents,

SASD administrator Dr.Tim Onsager said hes verypleased with the resultsand very proud of the staff.

These scores are a tes-tament to their hard work

Survey, meetings seek feedback on regional growth planMARk IgNATOwSkI


A r e a r e s i d e n t s w i l lhave several chances tosee how regional growthmight shape the Stoughtonarea during the next few

decades.T h e C a p i t a l A r e aRegional Planning Com-mission will hold threemeetings over the nexttwo weeks to gather publicfeedback on future growthareas in the S toughtonregion. The commission isalso taking a survey aboutwhat types of growth arearesidents would like to seebased on existing condi-tions and projections puttogether by staff and localleaders.

Municipalities will usethe data to shape theircomprehensive plans andm ake dec i s ions abou tfuture land use. In the nexttwo-and-a-half decades,planners estimate about7,000 new residents willmove to Stoughton, creat-ing a demand for nearly1,200 acres of developedland.

Meetings will be heldSept. 30 at the StoughtonFire Department, Oct. 2 atthe Town of Dunn town

hall, and Oct. 10 at theTown of Dunkirk townhall. Each meeting starts at6:30 p.m. with a presenta-tion at 7.

The meetings are partof the Stoughton Future

Urban Development Area(FUDA) planning, whichinvo lves the c i ty andfour surrounding town-ships. The commission hasbeen attempting to createFUDAs for municipalitiesaround Dane County forseveral years.

Residents will have achance to create a neigh-borhood, CARPC lead

planner Dan McAuliffetold the citys PlanningCommission earlier thismonth.

We let users say, If Ihad a neighborhood com-prised of this type of hous-

ing mix, what would theimpact be? McAuliffesaid. Its a much moreinteractive method.

The survey asks resi-dents what type of hous-ing, commercial develop-ment, parks, transit ser-vices and redevelopmenttheyd like to see.

In addition to the threeopen houses, some focus

groups will be set up at thesenior center, McAuliffesaid. Online versions ofthe survey can be found atcapitalarearpc.org/Stough-ton_FUDA.html.

We plan on collect-ing data for about a month

before we present the find-ings back to our steeringcommittee in November,he said.

The public meet ingswill gather a wide rangeof public input, but plan-ners have already usedbackground data and inter-views to form an estimateof what growth in the areamight look like. Since theplanning process began in2012, planners have col-lected information throughstakeholder interviewsand formed reports aboutex i s t ing cond i t ions o f community development,natural resources and agri-

cultural resources.T h o s e s t a k e h o l d e r s

include residents, businessowners, farmers and civicleaders from the city andsurrounding towns.

The months of inter-views and data crunch-ing have yielded a lot ofuseful data, city planningand development direc-tor Rodney Scheel told the

Planning Commission.Theres a lot of signifi-

cant, important data avail-able to us, Scheel said.You see how your choic-es can impact growth inthis community.

Growth embracedMore than 20 people

were interviewed as partof the initial stakeholdermeetings , according todocuments presented byMcAuliffe to the citysPlanning Commission.

For example, the inter-views showed that whiletheres a perception thatthe area does not wantdevelopment, most saidgrowth is good for thecommunity particularlyfamilies with children.

Interviewees said theresa need to improve theem ploym ent base andexpanding the businesspark is a good way to bring

jobs to the a rea. There wassupport for local business-es, but also for more retailopportunities.

T h o s e i n t e r v i e w e dexpressed a desire for moreoptions for senior housing,as well as high-end hous-ing. They also said athleticfacilities and access to theYahara River would make

the area attractive.A n o t h e r c o m m o n

response was that improve-ments to U.S. Hwy. 51 areneeded, as is more cooper-ation between municipali-ties.

Creating the planAs part of the process,

planners studied currentand future land use maps,environmental documents,housing trends and trans-portation plans to developan idea of future growth inthe area.

There are s t i l l manysteps to go before theFUDA plan is complete.McAuliffe wrote in anemail to the Hub that CAR-PC staff plan to collect andanalyze the responses atthe end of October. Theanalysis will be presentedto the steering committeein early November.

The committee will usethe information to create afuture growth plan for thearea. Municipalities canthen use that growth sce-nario to help shape theirown comprehensive plans.

Were now approach-ing the finish line we cankind of see it, McAuliffesaid. But theres still a lotof tasks to go.

Shorthanded Vikings pick up three medalsJeremy JonesSports editor

Stoughton gir ls swimmingcoach Elise McLaury knew, evenif healthy, her team was going tohave its work cut out for itself atSaturdays Milton Invitational.

With three swimmers alreadyout (Eva Anderson, Mari Gradyand Alex Asleson) and fresh-man Averie Ness coming downwith pneumonia the previous day,however, team points were goingto be even harder to come by.

As a team our goal was toget as many medals and per-

sonal bests that we could, said

McLaury, whose team finishedfourth overall in the Division 1standings despite being short-handed.

Wi th D1 meda l s awardedthrough fifth place, McLaurysaid three Vikings stepped it up anotch to make sure they finishedin the top three.

Senior Katherine Rude was thestar of the day, winning both herindividual events. Rude openedthe meet taking the 100-meterindividual medley in 1 minutes,6.18 seconds before later addingthe 100 freestyle in 57.76.

It was great for her to be ableto swim different events and still

excel, McLaury said.Senior Allie Niemeyer stayed

right on track and turned inStoughtons next best finishes.Niemeyer added a third-place fin-ish in the 200 free (2:12.27) anda runner-up finish in the 500 free(5:49.55).

Stoughton t raveled to FortAtkinson, tied for first place withOregon, Tuesday looking to con-tinue the type of play it showedMonday in a 1-0 loss to Verona atReddan Park.

But head coach Dave Wermuthsaid that he noticed the team wastired and looked flat in practice,and it showed in a 3-0 loss.

It also didnt help to have acouple fouls, a red card and to beoutmanned 11-10 for most of thegame either.

They were able to take advan-tage of that, Dave Wermuth said.It is really hard to play on a field

with 10 guys when they have 11.Fort Atkinson scored all three

goals in the second half.Senior Hank Guzman finished

with five saves for the Vikings.Stoughton continues the season

Lodi quadThe Vikings traveled to Maus-

ton to play in the Lodi quad lastFriday, and they picked up a 4-0win over Lodi and a 6-0 win overReedsburg.

Hank Guzman came out of thenet and scored twice in the sec-ond half in the Reedsburg game.Endre Krumholz picked up a goaland an assist, and Dakota Andre,Devin Wermuth and NathanVarese added goals.

Erik Hansen collected fivesaves.

The offense continued againstLodi with Varese, Devin Wer-muth and Ethan Genter scoringgoals. Krumholz picked up anassist.

Stoughtons other goal was aLodi own goal in the first half.

Hansen f inished with four

Verona 1, Stoughton 0Stoughton traveled to Reddan

Soccer Park to take on non-con-ference Verona Monday and lost atough match 1-0.

But Dave Wermuth said thegame was one of the best he hasseen the Vikings play in a longtime.

The kids put their hearts andsoul into it and really played agreat game, he said. Besides theone breakdown and the one goal,we were either even in possessionor ahead. It was some of the bestsoccer I have seen from these kidssince the beginning when theystarted school.

Veronas senior forward GarrettGrunke scored in the 68th min-ute with an assist to junior CaseyThompson.

Stoughton gir ls ten-nis traveled to Milton onMonday where the squaddropped the Badger SouthConference showdown,5-2.

Freshmen Sarah Benoyand Payton Kahl continuedto be the bright spot for theteam, pulling out a threeset victory over ZyannFurseth and Maddie Erd-man at No. 1 doubles.

Despite being unable toclose out to set points inthe first set, the team bat-tled back to win 5-7, 6-4,6-3.

That was a big win forus and should help get usa fourth seed heading intoconference, head coachRyan Reischel said. Italso keeps us in the run-ning for a top seed at sub-sectionals.

those things have really addedto the clerks responsibili-ties, Olson said, referring toGov. Scott Walkers contro-versial elimination of mostcollective bargaining for pub-lic employees and the Help

America Vote Act. Wevebeen asking one person to dotoo much.

Multiple optionsThe study looked at the

citys operations and staffingand compared it to similarlysized municipalities.

Baker Tilly met with eachemployee at City Hall, Olsonexplained. They later cameback and talked some morewith me and some departmentheads.

The final report, whichthe Personnel committee hasdiscussed twice and plans torevisit in October, presentedthree models the city couldconsider. The options rangedfrom a cost of $55,000 annu-ally to more than $300,000.

The most expensive modelcalls for not only creatingpositions for an IT directorand HR director but also add-ing a city administrator to theorganizational structure. Thatidea has been discussed a fewtimes in past years and wasrejected by the council eachtime.

The least expensive modelenvisions creating an HRposition and adding some ITsupport. Under that model,the HR directors dutieswould be separated from

those of the city clerk and the

deputy clerk position wouldsee its hours cut from fulltime to half time and wouldprovide administrative sup-port to the mayor in order tofree up more time for strate-gic leadership tasks.

Baker Tilly estimated the

cost for switching to Model1 could be as much $125,000or as low as $55,000, if thecity were to take advantageof potential funding sourcesidentified in the report.

The report suggests thatadvantages of the first modelinclude improved HR servic-es and providing more admin-istrative support for the mayorby shifting clerical assistanthours from the clerks officeto the mayor.

Other optionsThe second model would

create positions for an HRdirector and an IT director.

The cost for Model 2 could beas high as $235,000, or as low

as $55,000 after potential rev-enue and savings offsets.

Like the first model, thisoption suggests moving aclerical assistant now inthe city clerks office to themayors office. Creating theIT director position would

remove information technol-ogy responsibility from theplanning director and allowhim to focus on his coreresponsibilities, includingeconomic development.

In the long term, Model 2also calls for consolidatingthe role of fire chief and EMSdirector, which is split intoseparate positions.

Advantages to the sec-ond model, according to thereport, include improved HRand IT services, expandingthe pool of eligible candidatesfor the positions of clerk, HRdirector and IT director, andproviding more support to the

mayor and the planning direc-tor.

The report states thatthe first two models do notaddress the underlying prob-lems of a lack of interde-partmental coordination andcultural change in the citysoperations.

The third model, whichwould include the HR and IT

positions and also add a cityadministrator, could cost asmuch as $335,000 or as littleas $100,000 after additionalrevenue and savings offsets.

The study suggests thatadding a full-time adminis-trator would provide strongcentral administration to pairwith the mayors position,allow the mayors role to bemore outward facing as anelected official, focusing ongoals like development overinternal administration andprovide much needed inter-departmental coordinationand centralized authority toaddress perpetual culturalissues and to manage city-

wide (cross-departmental) ini-tiatives.

The downside, the reportindicates, would be the sig-nificant fiscal investmentrequired to hire a city admin-istrator.

Adopting bit by bitGiven the citys present

tight fiscal situation, Olsonsaid she doesnt see the coun-cil implementing any of thestudys recommendationsright away.

When I talked to Person-nel, I suggested lets look atOption 2 with a little tweak-ing here and there, she said.

Because of the way ourbudget is, looking at almosta $300,000 deficit, we mightnot be able to do all of thosethings right away. But if wecan make steps toward thatend, that would be our goal.

Olson thinks the study wasuseful in that it tells us thingsthat we cant see becausewere ingrained in the opera-tion day to day.

The study was a first step,she said. Now its time forstaff and the council to debatethe reports specifics anddecide what do with it.

Ald. Sonny Swangstu (Dist.1), who chairs the Personnel

committee, said he is gener-ally not a big fan of studiesbecause the recommendationsarent usually implemented.But he thinks the Baker Tillystudy was useful.

The information they gaveus gives us a better idea ofwhat we need and where weneed it, he said. I think ittells us what the city reallyneeds to get the ball rollingagain instead of having peo-ple come and use our place

for a training ground and thenmove on. Weve got to finda way to keep these people(employees) once they comehere.

Swangstu said establish-ing a city administrator is asuggestion in the report hestrongly opposes. He said

the city cant afford it and hedoesnt like the idea of a non-elected person leading thecity.

Ald. Ron Christianson(Dist. 2), on the other hand,believes a professionaladministrator is exactly whatthe city needs although healso recognizes that taxpayerscant afford it.

Also a member of Person-nel, Christianson said hesmet with most departmentheads and talked over whatthey thought would be ourbest approach.

Most thought an HR direc-tor would be our best direc-tion at this point in time,

Christianson said.

Other ideasChristianson noted the city

cant comfortably afford anyof the suggestions in the Bak-er Tilly report, but he offeredthe Personnel committee anddepartment heads an ideaabout how to buy an HRdirector at no additional costby refiguring some positionsat City Hall.

Right now we have anunfilled position in the cityclerk, he said. We have anacting city clerk. My sug-gestion was that we take theacting city clerk and make

her the clerk. Shes alreadybeing paid. We should takethe money from the city clerkposition that is unfilled andbuy a human resource person.

That way there is no costinvolved, if we can get a full-time human resource personfor that money.

Christianson has a longlist of other ideas that he willdiscuss at the committeesnext meeting in October.

But he and Swangstuagreed the committee willnot make decisions or recom-mendations to the council anytime soon.

Personnel will ease our

way through this and not bein a hurry, Swangstu said.Well see if we cant makeit work this time and last fora while.

Likewise, Olson thinks thecommittee should take itstime before making a recom-mendation to the council.

There are a lot of movingparts, she said. Thats whywe have to take it slow andhave lots of discussion beforemoving ahead.

Staffing: Study recommends several options for HR, IT positionsContinued from page 1

In brief

The Baker Tilly report found that:

The city is under-resourced and lacks specificexpertise in the areas of human resources andinformation technology.

The city lacks consistent policies and

procedures across multiple departments resultingin inconsistencies, decreased efficiency andambiguous roles and responsibilities.

The organizational structure leads to a lackof coordination and collaboration on issues thatshould be addressed from a citywide perspective.

Key department heads are functioning withoutadequate support and therefore perform dutiesthat do not optimize their time.
