Celia Juve is the Hubs 2013 Citizen of the Year. As a local business owner at All in the Family Hair Care, the Stoughton native has been at
the location on Ben Waite Circle for nearly seven years. The shop includes old fashioned hair dryers lining the front room. Below, Juve styles

Citizen of the Year
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unied Newspaper Group
Y
ou may not know
Celia Juve, but if
you do, or know
someone like her, your life
has truly been blessed.
The modest, unassuming
Stoughton native, 1978
Stoughton High School
graduate and longtime
local business owner was
named the 2013 Stough-
ton Area Citizen of the
Year by the Courier Hub,
based on readers recom-
mendations.
Juve has been working in the
Stoughton area for the past 18 years
after moving away for a period.
Her shop, All in the Family Hair
Care, has been at 1223 Ben Waite
Circle for the past seven years after
a decade stint kitty-corner from the
library on Main Street. She is also
long-time member of St. Ann Cath-
olic Church and an active planner
for their fall festival.
But its how Juve treats people in
her everyday life that stands out to
those who nominated her.
Whether its taking someone to a
doctors appointment, babysitting,
doing some needed grocery shop-
ping or housecleaning or just being
there to talk, Juve has made quite
a name for herself around town,
though she would certainly be the
last to mention it. In recent years,
she has also spent time helping
care for her father and mother-in-
law, and she says she never minded

than two weeks ago that
Wal -Mart St ores Inc.
woul d be t he anchor
business of the 35-acre
commercial part of the
project on Stoughtons
west side.
The following day, city
officials released details
of a proposed develop-

Forward Development
Group the entities that
respectively own and are
responsible for develop-
ing the 325-acre site at
Hwys. 51-138.
Initial opposition to
the project was largely
based on what opponents
consi dered excessi ve
secrecy around it because
the anchor tenants name
had been withheld. Some
opponents still feel that
way and want to know
the names of three other
retailers that the devel-
oper has promised would
open concurrently with
the 153,000-square-foot
Wal-Mart Supercenter in
the fall of 2015, should
the project be approved

Blackhawk closing
Stoughton branch
MARK IGNATOWSKI
Blackhawk Community
Credit Union will be con-
solidating its Stoughton
branch with its Edgerton
branch this year.
That means the eventual
closing of operations at
1525 U.S. Hwy. 51.
According to a news
release from the company,
the trend of more online
banking drove the compa-
ny toward consolidation.
We will be offering
and investing in the lat-
est in banking technology,
so that members can con-
tinue to do business with
us wherever and whenever
they want, CEO Sherri
Stumpf said in the release.
The decision to close the
Stoughton branch came
after careful consider-
ation of its market pres-
ence, as well as the costs
and benefits to the entire
membership, the release
said.
The Stoughton branch
opened in 2010 will con-
tinue to operate as Black-
hawk Community Credit
Union until the consoli-
dation is complete. Lisa
Palma, director of market-
ing and innovation for the
credit union, said there
was no timeline for clos-
ing the branch yet.
Blackhawk said a new
financial institution would
likely take over the spot
through a sale of the build-
ing.
Seven employees work
at the branch now and all
of them will transition to
other Blackhawk branches
or take jobs elsewhere,
Palma said.
All member accounts
will remain with Black-
hawk and can be accessed
online at bhccu.org, by
phone with the Call Center
at 755-6065, and in other
Blackhawk branches in
Janesville, Edgerton and
Delavan.
Blackhawk Community
Credit Union formed in
1965 and is a $370 mil-
lion credit union with over
40,000 members. Member-
ship is open to anyone who
lives or works in Rock,
Dane, Jefferson, Walworth
or Green Counties.
Fire destroys Town of Pleasant
Springs home near interstate
Several local fire depart-
ments responded to a fire
in the Town of Pleasant
Springs Sunday morning.
According to a news
release from the Dane
County Sheriffs Office:
Deput i es r esponded
at 11:53 a.m. to a fully
engulfed house fire at
2671 Straus Dr. near Inter-
state 39/90.
Fire crews from Stough-
t on, Ca mbr i dge a nd
Cot t age Grove hel ped
extinguish the home
which was a total loss at
about $150, 000. Deer-
Grove EMS also respond-
ed along with the Cottage
Grove Police Department,
however, no injuries were
reported.
The fire was called in by
drivers on the highway.
The cause of the fire is
under investigation.

Stoughton Area School District
Snow day make-up dates to be decided next week
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
For the second time this
mont h, St ought on area
schools were closed for
consecutive days because
of severe cold weather.
District communications
director Derek Spellman
said the decision was made
after consultation with the
districts director of trans-
portation after he drove
the bus routes, consultation
with surrounding school
districts and the forecasts
from weather professionals.
Based on the totality of
information, we concluded
that the roads would not be
safe to transport students
because of blowing and
drifting snow and potential-
ly dangerous temperature
extremes, he said.
The state Department of
Public Instruction requires
districts to hold 180 days
of instruction each school
year along with a minimum
number of hours of instruc-
tion for each grade level.
Because the district has
already reached its limit of
snow days, schools will
have to make up the two
days, and will decide next
week on specific make-up
dates in June.

Mark Ignatowski
Carlson grateful to get Academy nomination
KIMBERLY WETHAL
Hub Correspondent
senior Jace Carlson was
excited as could be when he
got the mail one day back in
December.
I had to reread each of
the letters over and over to
make sure what I was read-
ing was actually what I
thought it was, he said.
Receiving nominations
from U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan
and Sen. Tammy Baldwin,
Carlson got one step closer
to gaining acceptance into
the U.S. Air Force Acad-
emy or U.S. Naval Acad-
emy, something that has
been a goal for all of his
life.
Having an opportunity
like (the one) Ive been
given is something Im so
grateful for, he said in an
email interview. Knowing
that I have the support of a
Congressman and a Senator
for one of the military acad-
emies is such an honor. If
I wasnt given one of these
nominations I wouldnt
even have a chance to make
it in, so I really owe them
big if I get accepted!
Carlson is one of 16 high
school students in Pocans
congr es s i onal di s t r i ct
awarded a service academy
nomination.
I am proud to nominate
such outstanding Wiscon-
sin students to our service
academies, Pocan wrote
in a Dec. 13 news release.
These institutions provide
a one-of-a-kind experience
for young men and women
committed to serving our
country, and all of my nom-
inees have demonstrated
they have the determination
and t al ent
to meet this
challenge.
A p p l y -
i ng for t he
r e q u i r e d
nomi nat i on
d o e s n o t
g u a r a n t e e
receiving it.
The candi -
date must be interviewed
by their state Senator or
district representative after
having their application
approved by either of the
military academies.
Carlson said in order to
receive this nomination, he
had to go through an inter-
view process that involved
multiple interviewers.
(The) three interview-
ers would just go down the
line, each asking me a dif-
ferent question, he said. I
honestly cant describe how
nervous I was for each of
these interviews. Fortunate-
ly, they liked me.
Carlson said that one of
the biggest things the acad-
emies look for when con-
sidering applicants is lead-
ership experiences that they
have had inside and outside
of high school, asking ques-
tions during the interview
such as, What makes you a
good leader?
The activities Im in
were life-savers for me for
some of those questions,
Carlson said. Badger Boys
State and some volunteer
work Ive done in the past
really helped me out.
Carlson is still waiting
to hear back from the Air
Force Academy or Naval
Academy on a final deci-
sion.

Letters to the editor
Wal-Mart deal will make the rich richer
Why should we spend $5 mil-
lion Stoughton taxpayer dollars so
the richest family in the world can
build a store to take even more of
our money, and make themselves
even richer?
Dont tell me the money is
going to the developer, the devel-
oper is just acting as a middleman
for Wal-Mart.
The TIF district they create
thats supposed to pay off the cost
of the infrastructure improve-
ments simply means that the tax
dollars cant go pay for all the
other city services they will still
demand, police, fire, water, sewer,
etc.
We have a school district that is
in desperate need of money, but
instead we want to give corporate
welfare to the wealthiest people in
the county. People that dont need
it, but have the money to con the
rest of us out of ours.

Too much missing from Kettle West
As brand new resi dent s of
Stoughton, we are confused about
the Kettle West project. Confused
because:
The Kettle West project is
of a scale, impact, and cost well
beyond Stoughton development
standards, and public involvement
seems very limited apparently
there has never been a referendum
vote on growth here nor is a deci-
sive public hearing even planned
on Kettle West itself! This seems
very odd to us.
City approval is racing for-
ward and all costs, agreements,
and impacts have yet to be fully
considered. For example, Kettle
West is being developed as an
isolated, auto-only access area.
Just how are pedestrians, bikes,
and wheel chair-bound people
supposed to get across Hwy. 51?
And then there is the TIF subsidy?
With interest, just how much will
that cost taxpayers?
Kettle West will have nega-
tive impacts on a range of busi-
nesses and the downtown. Yet,
there apparently has been no seri-
ous discussion on adverse impact
control nor is there any hint that
the City is prepared to give add-
ed priority to near-downtown
redevelopment even though a
2009 plan, the Railroad Corridor
Project, has been awaiting full
implementation.
We moved to Stoughton from
Portage because we wanted a
community with a downtown that
worked, but that is now endan-
gered. Portage did what Stoughton
is now doing allowing largely
uncontrolled growth to occur out-
side the city center with minimal
downtown reinvestment and
the results were devastating, (e.g.
store closures, much turnover, lots
of tattoo shops).
A Wal-Mart SuperCenter came
to Portage around 12 years ago
and it was never the same.
The lessons of uncontrolled
growth and minimal downtown
reinvestment are many across
America.
Stoughton will become just
another suburban sprawl center
with a weak downtown unless
citizens get involved and demand
City accountability through the
preparation of a comprehensive
impact and cost analysis followed
by a city-wide public hearing.
Roger and Sue Springman

I noticed in your most recent
edition, you quoted a number of
people who with or without qual-
ifications seem to approve of the
appearance of the giant Wal-Mart
store in our community.
I also noticed that there was not
one Main Street Stoughton small
businessman who appeared in
that interview.
For the sake of accuracy and
a balance you might have your
reporters to talk to a few of them.
And then you might, just might,
get a different perspective on the
depth of the city councils and the
mayors betrayal of these people.
Not only will our small busi-
nesses be put into unfair compe-
tition, but the taxes they pay into
city coffers will be utilized in the
creation of that competition.
I do not mind, in fact support,
healthy competition in gentle
commerce.
But what I do mind is forcing
gentle commerces competition
with a giant vulture company.
Wal-Marts record of ques-
tionable employee relations and
negative impact on small-town
small businesses and the families
working with them is well docu-
mented. Arent those billions
enough for the Walton kids?
That our ci t y f at her s ar e
enabling this remains completely
beyond me.

Edi t or s not e: St ought on
Speaks is a longstanding Hub
tradition of conducting brief,
essentially random man-on-the-
street interviews. We did not seek
out specific people or views.
Stoughton Speaks didnt reflect everyones opinion
There is a saying, A lie trav-
els halfway around the world
before the truth can step out the
door. Putting Kettle West on a
fast track prevents the truth from
emerging in time for informed
decisions.
Lets look at the national retail
picture. In the United States we
have five times more retail then
we can sustain. JCPenneys and
Best Buy are closing stores. Sears
and Target are hemorrhaging of
funds. Wal-Mart is seeing stiff
competition from Amazon. So
where is the proof that our com-
munity can support all this new
retail? There is none.
Yet, you are contemplating the
largest give away to a for-prof-
it corporation in the history of
Stoughton.
This same corporation has kept
secrets from us but now wants
you to believe the projected
property values for this develop-
ment. How can you really believe
these values and base a decision
on them?
Wal-Mart and other retailers,
have a practice of not owning
their stores but leasing them from
other corporations. The rent can
be set so low that the assessed
value of the property decreases,
consequently lowering property
taxes, extending the life of the
TIF and increasing the cost to tax
payers.
Experience in other commu-
nities, shows there is a nega-
tive impact on other commercial
properties with a supercenter. To
ignore this is to ignore the facts.
Will the increased vacancy rates
decrease assessment values and
decrease property taxes? How is
this off set by the new develop-
ment?
If the life of the TIF is 17 plus
years then the taxpayer is shoul-
dering the extra operating costs
of police and fire during that
time. With a 24/7 store you have
a magnet for drug traffic but of
course we dont have that prob-
lem here do we?
Then there are the long term
infrastructure costs. Have you
done a Second Life Cycle Analy-
sis? This would examine the long
term i.e. 25 plus year cost of the
added development and if the
additional property taxes would
actually pay for the full cost of
services.
There are many t rut hs t o
uncover but fast tracking this
agreement will not allow them to
step out the door.

Letters to the editor
Theres no proof Stoughton can support a larger Wal-Mart
The new Super Wal-Mart will
be good for the growth of Stough-
ton.
It will create jobs, it will make
my business better and all the
businesses on the west side grow.
But lets be honest, all we are
doing is buying more junk not
made in the United States.
How long can we keep feed-
ing the overseas giants and not
making the products here in the
U.S.A.?
Sooner or later we will all run
out of money.
Inst ead of worryi ng about
where to buy this stuff, we should

Foundation
gives grant
to prairie
While its great to enjoy
local nature, it also helps to
know a little about the won-
ders that are all around us.
Thats the idea behind a
recently announced grant
from the Natural Resources
Foundation (NRF) of Wis-
consin that will provide
an educational kiosk at the
Smith-Reiner Drumlin Prai-
rie near Cambridge.
The group provided $737
through its C.D. Besad-
ny Conservation Grants
program which must be
matched by recipient orga-
nizations either through
cash or in-kind donations,
said executive director Ruth
Oppedahl.
It was a very competitive
process, and were pleased
to support the wonderful
work of the Prairie Enthusi-
asts and this education proj-
ect, she said. The Besadny
Grants fund small projects
that have a big impact in
local communities.
This year NRF gave away
more than $26,000 to 30
projects across the state.
Richard Henderson, chair
of the local chapter of The
Prairie Enthusiasts, said the
kiosk will help people learn
about the unique natural
area.
It has rare examples of
the original native prairie
ecosystem that greeted the
first European settlers to the
area 170 years ago, he said.
The kiosk will inform
visitors of the sites natural
and cultural history and its
conservation significance
as critical habitat for rare
and endangered species and
native prairie. The funding
will go toward professional
services in the design and
production of the panels.
Volunteers will build and
install the frame for the pan-
els.
Besadny Grant-funded
projects in 2013 include
expanding citizen-based
moni t ori ng i n t he Bad
River Watershed, monitor-
ing and surveys of finches
in Minocqua, support for a
natural resources internship
program in Buffalo County,
a nature signage project in
Wausau, and support for
rain gardens, honey bees
and urban forests.

In the Presence of God
Brother Lawrence was a seventeenth
century Carmelite monk and author of
the book The Practice of the Presence
of God. He was fond of saying that we
should walk as in His presence, i.e.,
that we should strive constantly to be in
conversation and communion with God.
Brother Lawrence was a simple man who
was converted to holiness at the age of
eighteen upon seeing the sight of a dry,
leafless tree on a snowy midwinters day.
The sight of the tree brought to mind
the coming season of Spring and Gods
providential hand. Brother Lawrence
sought out a monastery after this con-
version experience where he strove to
live continuously in Gods presence. He
wasnt a particularly learned man, nor did
he perform any great miracles or go on
any great crusades, but he devoted him-
self to sanctifying the ordinary, everyday
aspects of life. Indeed, Brother Lawrence
worked in the kitchen of the monastery
for most of his life and one of his favorite
prayers was a prayer you could imagine
yourself saying at the kitchen sink: Lord
of all pots and pans and things, make me
a saint by getting meals and washing up
the plates! Would we not all live far bet-
ter lives by walking continuously in Gods
presence?
Christopher Simon via Metro News
Service
You make known to me the path of
life; in your presence there is fullness of
joy; at your right hand are pleasures for
evermore.
Psalm 16:11

Stoughton Opera House
Opera House to bring diverse acts next week
BILL LIVICK
Three concerts featuring
a range of musical styles
are coming to the Opera
House the first week of
February.
Singer-songwriter Josh
Ritter is an established star
of contemporary acoustic
music and is riding high
on the strength of his lat-
est album, The Beast in its
Tracks, released in March
2013. Hell perform on
Wednesday, Feb. 5, with
Gregory Alan Isakov open-
ing.
Madison favorites Bill
and Bobbie Malone are the
organizers of the Back to
the Country Revue, which
will take the stage on Fri-
day, Feb. 7. The show will
feature the Malones, on
vocals, guitar and mando-
lin, fingerstyle guitar mas-
ter Richard Wiegel, and the
Kristy Larson Honky Tonk
Trio. The concert is a must-
see for fans of traditional
country music.
Then Saturday, Feb. 8,
Corky Siegel brings his
innovative chamber blues
ensembl e t o t he Opera
House from Chicago. The
late Studs Terkel described
Siegels Chamber Blues as
a joyous marriage of clas-
sical music and the blues.
Josh Ritter
I n 2006, Ri t t er was
named one of the 100 great-
est living songwriters by
Paste magazine, a promi-
nent national music publi-
cation. He is also one of the
countrys finest folk-style
singers, with a style thats
reminiscent at times of Paul
Simon or James Taylor.
Ritter wrote most of the
songs for his latest album
as he was going through the
breakup of his marriage to
fellow musician Dawn Lan-
des.
But, Ritter says, The
Beast in its Tracks is not a
break-up album. In an inter-
view with Paste, Ritter says
he managed to avoid being
mean and instead focused
on being reflective in his
songs.
I m not t he per son
whos going to sit down
and put out the songs that
Id written in the heat of the
moment, he told Pastes
Josh Jackson. They felt
honest in a way but they
di dnt feel good. They
didnt feel like they were
going to elucidate anything
to anybody else.
Jackson described Rit-
ters album as two-and-a-
half years of intense emo-
t i on condensed i nt o 13
mostly acoustic tracks.
Fortunately, Ritter is not
new to songwriting and was
able to turn personal pain
onto a productive path.
He wrote and recorded
his first album in 1999, as
a 21-year-old student at
Oberlin College in Ohio.
He enrolled intending to
st udy neurosci ence but
later changed his major to
the self-created American
History Through Narrative
Folk Music.
After releasing his debut
self-titled album, Ritter
moved to Scotland to attend
the School of Scottish Folk
Studies for six months. He
made a name for himself
in Ireland and since 2000
has performed through-
out North America and the
United Kingdom. Ritter has
released six studio albums
since his debut. His Opera
House show will feature
stripped-down performanc-
es with longtime bandmates
Zack Hickman on bass and
guitar and Josh Kaufman on
lead guitar.
Ritters 2014 tour will
take him to cities across
Amer i ca, i ncl udi ng 23
shows in the months of Jan-
uary and February alone.
This will be his first appear-
ance at the Opera House.
Back to the Country
Revue
Bill and Bobbie Malone,
Richard Wiegel, and The
Kristy Larson Honky Tonk
Trio are all well known in
southern Wisconsin country
music circles.
Bill Malone is the pro-
ducer and host of the popu-
lar WORT-FM (89.9) radio
show Back to the Coun-
try. He is also the author of
the first and most complete
history of the genre, Coun-
try Music, U.S.A, which
emerged from his disserta-
tion and was published in
1966.
Since then, he has gone
on to research and write
several ot her books on
country music and musi-
cians, including biographies
of Hazel Dickens and Mike
Seeger.
Malone is also a musician
whos been singing and
playing country music with
friends and family since he
was young.
He and his wife, Bobbie,
moved to Madison in the
mid-1990s after Bill retired
from Tulane University in
New Orleans, where he was
a history professor.
Richard Wiegel has been
a fixture on the Madison
music scene for more than
30 years and is best known
for his performances with
The Midwesterners.
Singer Kristy Larson has
appeared on Malones radio
show many times and is one
of the finest country music
singers in the Midwest.
Malone organized the
Back to the Country Revue
a few years ago and the
musicians had so much fun
that they decided to keep it
going whenever it fit every-
bodys schedule.
The show will feature
treasured songs from favor-
ite country artists Jimmie
Rodgers, Hank Williams,
The Carter Family, Merle
Travis, Bob Wills, Patsy
Cline and many more pre-
sented in three acts. The
whole Back to the Country
Revue will close the show
together on stage for a rous-
ing finale.
Corky Siegels
Chamber Blues
For Corky Siegel, com-
bining blues and classical
music is not experimen-
tal, its natural. Hes been
doing just that, on occasion,
since the Siegel-Schwall
Band first jammed with
t he Chi cago Symphony
Orchestra in 1968.
The idea of combining
blues and classical music
was fi rst suggest ed by
classical conductor Seiji
Ozawa when he was con-
ductor of the Chicago Sym-
phony. Together, Siegel
and his band and the sym-
phony orchestra first per-
formed Three Pieces for
Blues Band and Symphony
Orchest ra, by Wi l l i am
Russo.
In 1973, the band and
Ozawa released a record-
ing of this work performed
wi t h t he San Franci sco
Symphony. In 1975, Sie-
gel and Ozawa, with the
San Francisco Symphony,
performed another Rus-
so work, Street Music:
A Blues Concerto and
released the recording in
79.
Inspired by his collabo-
ration with Ozawa, Siegel
formed Chamber Blues in
1988. The groups music
combines elements of clas-
sical, blues, and jazz. The
band consists of a string
quartet two violins, a vio-
la and a cello along with
a percussionist and Siegel
on harmonica (and some-
times doubling on piano).
Chamber Blues has toured
internationally and released
albums in 1994, 98 and
2005.
The Austin Chronicle
wrote that Siegel has a
bewitching way of blend-
ing the torrid wail of the
blues with the orderly song
of classical strings, draw-
i ng unexpect ed sounds
from each and the best from
both.

Pay Yourself First
Protect your nest egg from financial downturns
( S t a t e P o i n t ) F r o m
increased unemployment to
commonplace home fore-
closures, its hard to forget
the devastating effects of
the 2008 financial crisis and
the worst recession since
the Great Depression.
While the hope is that reg-
ulatory bodies and bureaus
created in the crisis wake
will help prevent a recur-
rence, some experts say
these reforms were shaped
by the same entities respon-
sible for the crisis but that
citizens have the power to
chart a different course for
their own economic futures.
Whether policies were
formed with selfless or self-
ish intentions, you dont
need to quietly agree to
them, especially if they
are misguided. We have
a system that can respond
to the efforts of individual
citizens, says Jay W. Rich-
ards, Distinguished Fellow
at the Institute for Faith,
Work & Economics and
author of the new book,
Infiltrated: How to Stop
the Insiders and Activists
Who Are Exploiting the
Financial Crisis to Control
Our Lives and Our For-
tunes.
In his book, Richards sug-
gests that complacency on the
part of ordinary citizens will
lead to more serious finan-
cial disasters. He encourages
readers to take steps to pre-
vent future crises and protect
their own nest eggs:
Get informed
Many culpable entities
used the crisis fallout to
lay blame elsewhere and
increase their own power,
says Richards. But with
knowledge, prudence and
intelligent action, history
wont have to repeat itself.
The only way to pre-
vent deception and cyni-
cism during future crises
is for ordinary citizens to
get informed and outraged
enough to change our fiscal
and regulatory trajectory,
says Richards.
Take control
Online educational resourc-
es can help you get informed.
To brush up on basic financial
skills, visit MyMoney.gov, a
site created by the Financial
Literacy and Education Com-
mission with information on
how to save, what to consider
when borrowing, and how to
make a budget.
Diversify
Experts recommend bal-
ancing different types of
assets, such as cash, stocks,
bonds and commodities.
Having different types
of investments means you
might be better shielded
f r om economi c cr i ses,
because some assets might
fall while others might rise.
Dont rely on
your home
If the recession taught peo-
ple anything, its not to rely
too much on home equity for
retirement. Many think their
homes are more valuable
than they really are or will be
when its time to retire.
Be philanthropic
Those concerned about
the future should be the
first to grow effective local
organizations providing
real safety nets for the des-
titute, says Richards, who
believes philanthropy is a
moral responsibility best
left to communities.
Think of the future
When a consumer bor-
rows, she or he alone bears
the debt. However, when
t he gover nment over -
spends for short term goals,
f ut ur e gener at i ons ar e
expected to foot some, or
all, of the bill.
This is immoral and no
fancy economic theory can
change that, asserts Rich-
ards.
Be civic
Your vote matters to poli-
ticians. Call, write and visit
them to express concerns
over economic regulations
you dont support.

Be sure to pay
yourself first
With all of the expenses
you have each month, you
are likely to forget to pay
the most important person
yourself!
You work hard for your
money, and paying yourself
first is a great way to help
you budget, save for the
future, and make sure that
you actually get to decide
how to spend a portion of
your money.
The best way to start sav-
ing is to pair your check-
ing account with a savings
account. Then you can make
paying yourself first easy
by setting up auto-transfers
from your checking account
to your savings account.
Arrange transfers to hap-
pen weekly, monthly, or
every time you receive a
paycheck. When you dont
have to remember to put
money i nt o savi ngs, i t
builds up.
I f you pay your s el f
before you pay the rest of
your bills, youll adjust to
spending slightly less each
month, while increasing
your savings. Even if you
can only afford to save $25
each month, that adds up
to $300 at the end of the
year (plus interest). Thats
enough for a plane ticket,
special holiday gifts, or a
significant donation to your
favorite charity.
Get your family involved
in saving each month, too.
Prepare a meal at home
with your kids instead of
going out to a restaurant,
or plan a family game night
at home rather than a night
out.
Set aside the money to
save for a family vacation
or another joint goal, and
let your children watch the
savings grow. You show
t hem t he t angi bl e ben-
efits of saving, and create
healthy financial habits
theyll have for life.
We suggest online bank-
ing as a great way to set up
your savings plan and mon-
itor your success.

Prepare for retirement
with varied IRA choices
Tax filing season is just
around the corner, and
while most of us feel a good
amount of anxiety when
it comes to filing, there
are steps we can take now
to improve our financial
retirement plan and enjoy
the tax benefits today.
Preparing and filing your
tax return does include many
steps, and most informa-
tion you will enter into your
return is determined by your
activities in the prior year.
One exception is creating
or adding to your Individual
Retirement Account, or IRA.
An IRA is quite simply a
savings account provided by
many financial institutions
with significant tax breaks,
making it a perfect option for
planning for your retirement.
Unlike 401(k)s, which are
accounts provided by your
employer, the most common
types of IRAs are accounts
that you open on your own.
There are other options
that can be opened by self-
employed individuals and
small business owners.
There are several types of
IRAs, including: traditional
IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs
and SIMPLE IRAs.
Unfortunately, not every-
one can take advantage of
all types. Each has eligibility
restrictions based on income
or employment status. All
have limits on how much
you can contribute each year
and penalties if you take
your money out prior to the
designated retirement age.
The two most common
types are Traditional and
Roth.
Traditional IRA
Tax-deferred retirement
savings account
Taxes paid on your mon-
ey only when you make
withdrawals in retirement.
Deferring taxes means all
of your dividends, interest
payments and capital gains
can compound each year
without being held back by
taxes an IRA can grow
much faster than a taxable
account.
Roth IRA
Allows funds to grow
tax-free
Funded with after-tax
dollars, meaning youve
already paid taxes on the
money you put into it. In
return for no up-front tax
break, your money grows
tax-free
You pay no taxes when
you withdraw at retire-
ment on basis or earnings
No required minimum
distributions
Roth IRA conversions
If you have a traditional,
rollover IRA or 401(k),
you might consider con-
verting all or part of the
account to a Roth IRA.
Make sure, however, you
discuss the tax implications
with your tax adviser first.
Once convert ed t o a
Roth, assets grow tax-free
forever, although youll pay
income taxes on the amount
converted in the year of the
conversion. The good news
is that once converted, you
have a limited window
when you may reverse the
conversion for a variety of
reasons, such as a severe
market adjustment or sud-
den change in your income.
Good time to start
If youre one of the mil-
lions of American house-
holds who owns either a tra-
ditional individual retirement
account (IRA) or a Roth
IRA, then tax season should
serve as a reminder to review
your retirement savings strat-
egies and make any changes
that will enhance your pros-
pects for long-term financial
security. Its also a good time
to start an IRA if you dont
already have one.
The IRS allows you to
contribute to last years IRA
until the tax deadline of the
current year. Your tax advis-
er can assist in deciding how
much to contribute.
Take advantage of free IRS
resources. The IRS provides
information and resources for
individuals and small busi-
nesses on their website. Visit
irs.gov to find the forms you
need and explore other tax-
related guides.
Then consider an IRA or
other investment alterna-
tive here at McFarland State
Bank. Talk with your per-
sonal banker or investment
representative today regard-
ing IRA investment options.
Many of the Certificate
of Deposits offered by
McFarland State Bank can
be used as an IRA vehicle.
You can take advantage
of beneficial tax laws and
have the peace of mind
knowing your retirement
funds are safe and secure

What will the new Fed chair mean to investors?
President Obama has nomi-
nated Janet Yellen, the current
vice chairwoman of the Federal
Reserve, to become chairwoman
of the Fed when Ben Bernanke,
the current chairman, ends his
term on Jan. 31,
2014.
What does her
appointment mean
to investors?
Many experts
think that Yellen
is likely to con-
tinue the policies
favored by Ber-
nanke, such as a
determined effort to keep short-
term interest rates at historic
lows until the unemployment
rate drops to about 6.5 percent
which may not occur until 2015.
Consequently, if you invest in
short-term bonds or certificates
of deposit (CDs), you may not be
seeing significant changes in the
rates you receive.
The Fed has less control over
long-term rates, but, in an effort
to stimulate the economy, it has
attempted to keep these rates low
by purchasing about $85 billion
in bonds a mix of Treasury
bonds and mortgage-backed
securities each month. The
Fed recently indicated they will
cut back to $75 billion a month
(tapering their purchases), and
since Yellen has supported this
program in her role as vice-chair-
man, it is anticipated that the plan
will continue.
If this happens, you will want
to pay close attention to your
long-term bonds, or bond-based
mutual funds, because if long-
term rates go up, the value of
your bonds will drop, perhaps
sharply, because no one will want
to pay full price for your bonds
when they can purchase new ones
at higher rates. Consequently,
you may need to adjust this part
of your portfolio.
The Federal Reserves ability
to adjust interest rates in response
to economic growth and inflation
attracts a lot of attention. But the
Fed also helps to regulate our
overall financial system a role
that has gained increased impor-
tance since the financial crisis of
2008.
Yellens background and phi-
losophy offer some clues as to
how she might approach this
aspect of her Fed leadership. She
has strongly advocated the idea
that proper regulation can help
prevent abuses in the financial
markets, thereby contributing to
fewer disruptions.
Yellen has been a good prog-
nosticator. She warned about the
housing bubble well before it
occurred, and she correctly pre-
dicted the somewhat slow recov-
ery from the financial crisis and
the accompanying low inflation.
In any case, no matter what
course Yellen charts for the
Federal Reserve, keep in mind
the Fed is only responsible for
monetary policy which, although
important, is not the only factor
affecting financial markets
and, subsequently, investors.
The president and Congress
manage fiscal policy, which cov-
ers spending and taxation issues,
some of which can have a direct
effect on your investment deci-
sions. For example, the tax laws
governing dividends and capital
gains are periodically changed,
and these revisions can certainly
cause you to at least review your
portfolio, and possibly make
adjustments.
As an investor, you need to
focus on those things you can
control, no matter who heads the
Federal Reserve, or what fiscal
decisions are made, or even what
periodic crises may erupt. And
that means you need to build a
diversified portfolio thats con-
structed to reflect your goals, risk
tolerance and time horizon.
While you need to be aware
of external events and how they
might affect your portfolio, youll
find that the changes in your
life marriage, new children,
new job, impending retirement,
will ultimately have a far greater
impact on your long-term invest-
ment strategy.

New Years resolutions for small businesses
(StatePoint) Its not just individuals who
can benefit from New Years resolutions.
Businesses can also use the new year as an
opportunity to reflect on how to improve in
the year to come.
With that in mind, here is a resolution
checklist for small business owners:
Get your books in order: Make sure to
update balance sheets, compile income state-
ments and assemble cash flow statements.
Evaluate goals: Did you meet your goals
this year? What helped you achieve success?
How can you improve the following year?
Clearly documenting your goals and mak-
ing them accessible to your staff will keep
them top-of-mind. This can be anything,
from bringing on a certain number of new
employees to hitting a sales goal or expand-
ing product offerings. Once youve set your
goals, devise a plan that will get you there,
with monthly or quarterly checkpoints, so
you can ensure youre on track.
Protect data: Small businesses say that
data is their most valuable asset. Are you
adequately protecting it? Many small busi-
nesses only back up files once or twice a
month, which can result in a tremendous
loss. Cloud backup is the best way to
ensure you get all your files back easily in
the event of a disaster.
Save yourself a headache and protect your
files automatically. A secure and affordable
service, such as Carbonite, will continually
create copies of all your files and store them
in the cloud. Once the files are backed up,
you can remotely access them from nearly
any Internet-connected device which can
help keep you connected in an emergency or
when youre traveling.
Make sure data protection is a key com-
ponent of your end-of-year planning it
will help set up your business for success
in the new year. More information about
small business backup can be found at
Carbonite.com.
Mitigate your current tax burden:
Understand your tax deductions and book
all deductions before the end of the year.
Implement new tax strategies to mitigate
your 2014 tax burden. Remember, all busi-
ness models are different. Consider con-
sulting an expert tax analyst to find out
whats best for your business.
Be social: Explore new avenues for
advertising. Social media provides an easy
and inexpensive platform for gauging your
customers desires, branding and getting
the word out about your product or service.
Theres no time like the New Year to
reassess whats working for your company
and what isnt. Take the opportunity to set
your company up for a successful 2014.
The New Year is a
great time for small
business owners to
look back at what
theyve done in
the past and how
to improve in the
coming year. A
simple checklist of
plans acn help you
stay organized with
new initiatives and
evaluate your perfor-
mance next year.

Wiese named Coach of the Year in first season
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Stoughton native and University of
Minnesota-Duluth head football coach
Curt Wiese was named NCAA Divi-
sion II Liberty Mutual Coach of the
Year on Monday, Jan. 6 in Newport
Beach, Calif.
It was a surprise certainly as a
first year head coach, Wiese said. It
meant a lot to our program and athletic
department.
Wiese is the second Bulldogs coach
to earn the Liberty Mutual Coach of
the Year Award, joining current West-
ern Illinois University head coach Bob
Nielson (2010).
As a team and program, our goal
is to be as involved with the city and
community of Duluth as much as we
can, Wiese said. This award not
only was about wins and losses, but
also about community engagement and
the opportunity to give back.
As Coach of the Year, Liberty Mutu-
al will award Wiese $50,000 to sup-
port his favorite charities and $20,000
in scholarship to the University of
Minnesota Duluth Alumni Associa-
tion.
Fans votes contributed 20 percent
to each coachs final score, and the
media and College Football Hall of
Fame accounted for 25 percent and 55
percent, respectively.
Coach Wieses first go-around at
the Bulldog helm continued a success-
ful six-year run of double-digit victo-
ries, losing in the second round of the
NCAA Division II playoffs.
The 2013 season ended with a sec-
ond-round playoff loss to the eventual
national champions, Northwest Mis-
souri State University.
The Bulldogs amassed 11 wins, cap-
tured their sixth consecutive Northern
Sun Intercollegiate Conference North
Division title, and secured a No. 8
national ranking in the final Ameri-
can Football Coaches Division II poll.
Wieses student-athletes also were
successful in the classroom last fall, as
14 players earned NSIC All-Academic
Team honors
After spending the last five years
overseeing the Bulldogs offensive
units, Wiese was promoted to head

minutes, 28 seconds, and the host Vikings took the dual 63-6.

Seniors step up in home finale
Pulley, Patun pick up pins
on 63-6 senior night win
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
It has been a very good dual sea-
son for the Stoughton High School
wrestling team, ranked No. 9 on
wiwrestling.com, and it continued
last week with a second-place finish
in the Zelinski Duals Saturday and a
63-6 win over Oregon last Friday.
It was a good weekend, and we
are excited that the guys are wres-
tling not just for themselves but for
each other, Spilde said. That is
what the month of January is all
about.
The dual against Oregon was
accentuated by junior Zach Has-
selberger receiving a plaque for 100
wins, former head coach LaVerne
Pieper being honored by the school
and senior Joe Pulley (170 pounds)
and Kyle Patun (220) both picking
up pins on senior night.
Patun had to come back in his
match against junior Connor Timber-
lake. Timberlake grabbed a 4-0 lead
after a takedown and a near fall early
in the first period, but Patun was able
to reverse the momentum and score a
pin in 1 minute, 8 seconds.
Pulley quickly jumped out to a 2-0
lead in the first period before finish-
ing off sophomore Tristan Williams
with a fall in 2:28.
And those were just two of the
12 wins Friday. After receiving for-
feits at heavyweight, 106 pounds,
113 pounds and 126 pounds, the
dual wasnt really in question, but
juniors Austin Benton (182), Gun-
nar Helland (152), Joe Nelson (145)
and Collin Kraus (132) and freshmen
Kaleb Louis (138) and Garrett Model
(120) all won their wrestled matches.
Kraus, ranked No. 3 at 126
pounds, jumped out early with multi-
ple takedowns in a 21-5 technical fall
win. He had four in the first period
alone before a reversal and two near
falls in the second.
Nelson, ranked No. 1 at 145
pounds, also had a technical fall with
a 17-2 win over freshman Parker
Ehn-Howland. He had three take-
downs and four near falls in the win.
Helland added a third technical fall
to the state sheet for the dual with
an 18-3 win over sophomore James
Freund. Helland had five takedowns
and two near falls.
Louis might have had one of the
more dramatic wins for Stoughton
on the night with an 11-9 decision
over junior Omar Sacramento. Louis
trailed 8-5 in the third period before
getting a takedown.
With time running out and after
a Sacramento escape, Louis once
again was able to get a takedown to
send the match into overtime. There,
Louis finished the job 30 seconds in
with another takedown.
Model also had to battle some ear-
ly adversity after sophomore Bobby
Corliss had a reversal and a near fall
to tie the match at 4, but Model was
able to persevere with a reversal of
his own that led to a pin in 1 minute,
21 seconds.
Benton added a 10-3 decision over
senior Matt Sampson. He was down
3-0 in the second before a takedown
and a near fall gave him a 4-3 lead.
Benton added an escape, takedown
and near fall to put the match away.

JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Junior defenseman Robby
Volk scored a pair of goals
five minutes apart early in the
third period Thursday as the
Vikings buried Badger South
Conference rival McFarland
5-0.
Leading 2-0 through two
periods inside the McFarland
Community Ice Center, the
Vikings watched the game
start to get chippy midway
through the third period.
Being a first-year head
coach here, I have only known
the guys for the past six
months, Rosholt said. From
what I heard we were hot-
heads or we would get chip-
py.
Taking over this season,
Rosholt said that was one
of the things he wanted to
change when he took over as
head coach.
Regardless, of if were
winning or losing, I wanted
to limit that, Rosholt said.
Im all about standing up for
yourself and protecting whats
yours, but theres a way to do
that legally.
It was very encouraging
to see that happening and us
staying out of the mix.
In return the Vikings went
on the power play where Volk
and Aussie Miller scored
back-to-back goals 29 seconds
apart on the man-advantage.
I got setup perfectly on
the 5-on-3 power play, Aus-
sie made a great pass to me,
Volk said. The first goal, I
just shot the puck. I didnt
even look at the net.
Senior forward Brandon
Erickson got the Vikings
offense moving with a goal
45 seconds into the second
period.
McFarland had a chance
to even the score midway
through the period when
Erickson was called for hook-
ing. Instead, Miller took a
loose puck in the neutral
zone and skated in all alone
on Spartan goaltender Jordan
Mazzara for his first of two

goals.
Stoughton senior forward
Aaron Shanklin registered
two assists, while Taylor
Lyons finished with 18 saves
in the shutout.
Stoughton improved to
8-7-0 overall and 3-3-0 in
the Badger South with the
victory. The Spartans fell to
4-11-0, 1-5-0 behind 26 saves
by Mazzara.
The Vikings return to
conference action at 7 p.m.
Monday, Feb. 3, inside the
Mandt Center against Oregon
(10-6-1, 5-1-0), which is tied
with Monona Grove (13-3-0,
5-1-0) for first place.

Miller scored a pair of
goals in a game with WIAA
playoff seeding implications
on the line Saturday inside
Nagawaukee Ice Arena.
The Vikings, however,
were unable to keep the
Kettle Moraine co-op off the
scoreboard in a 7-2 loss.
Kettle Moraine/Mukwo-
nago/Oconomowoc (8-7-3)
sandwiched a pair of goals

Stoughton forward Casey
Marsh scored an unassisted
goal 10 seconds into the third
period to cut the fifth-ranked
Hilltoppers (11-4-0) lead in
half.
It was as close as the Ice-
bergs (12-6-2) were able to
close the gap, however, as
one of the nations top scorers
Theresa Knutson capped her
hat trick two minutes later in
an eventual 4-1 loss.
It was her 50th goal in 15
games this season.
Knutson is definitely a
goal-scoring threat from any-
where on the ice, and contain-
ing her was a tall order for our
girls, Jochmann said. Down
2-0 after 2 periods, and strik-
ing first off the opening face-
off gave us some confidence,
but Knutson was able to take
momentum back quickly.
Junior Kenzie Torpy kept
the Icebergs in the game with
40 saves, while Jeanalyn
Schindler stopped 22 shots on
goal for the Hilltoppers.
Our girls played a very
tough, physical and relentless
game, Jochmann said. The
penalties ended up lopsided,
but none of them were due to
laziness on their part.
They battled each and
every shift. Knowing that we
were able to keep this team in
check bodes well for the rest
of the year.
The power-pl ay goal
of Onalaskas Kyla Ban-
tle with just under two min-
utes remaining in regulation
rounded out the scoring.
Our focus will be on fin-
ishing our scoring chances for
the upcoming weeks down the
final stretch of the regular sea-
son, Jochmann said. It was
also fantastic to see so many
fans in the stands. The team
definitely feeds off of the pos-
itive energy.

Tonight was a dominat-

Jochmann said. They con-
trolled the play, moved the
puck well, and played tough
defense along the offensive

the offensive zone.
The win improved the Ice-

Assistant sports editor
The Stoughton High School girls bas-
ketball team upped its win streak to six
games last Thursday with a 68-46 win at
Mount Horeb.
The girls used a 23-8 spurt in the sec-
ond quarter to take control with five dif-
ferent girls scoring.
I think we are winning games
because our overall intensity on defense
is getting us some good offensive shots,
and that has spurred the offense on the
other end, head coach Rami Hoaglin
said.
Senior Payton Gross continued her
hot shooting with 18 points, while soph-
omore Hannah Hobson added 14. Fresh-
man Kendra Halverson scored seven,
while senior Maren Schultz, sophomore
Jenna Gardner, freshman Marissa Rob-
son and freshman Payton Kahl each
chipped in six.
Senior Patricia Dumas was the other
Viking that scored. She had five points.
We are playing all four quarters,
communicating and playing good
defense, Hoaglin said. The girls are
striving for that in every game and doing
everything they can in practice to get
there.
The Vikings (9-4 overall, 4-2 Badger
South) are one game behind Monona
Grove (10-1, 5-1) and Oregon (10-3,
5-1) in conference.
The game at Monroe was postponed
Tuesday due to cold weather. It will be
made up Feb. 12.

nator, the Bulldogs fin-
ished near the top of the
NCAA II leaderboard four
times in scoring and pos-
sessed the nations sev-
enth-best rushing attack in
2002.
Since Wieses arrival at
UMD in February 2008,
the Bulldogs, which were
4-7 in 2007, have gone
62-7 (a record unmatched
by any NCAA II school).
Duluth has also captured
t wo NCAA II nat i onal
championships (2008 and
2010) over that time.
We havi ng a wi n-
ning culture in our locker
room, Wiese said. We
been fort unat e t o have
really talented incoming
freshman classes that con-
tinue to believe that they
are students first and ath-
letes second. Their goal,
every time they take the
field, is to win a national
championship.

In five years of direct-

for the American Foot-

in 2004.
Pri or t o hi s move t o

Wi sconsi n-Eau Cl ai re,
tutoring the tight ends for
two years and the offen-
sive line for one season.
He entered the coaching
arena a little over a dozen
seasons ago on the heels
of a four-year collegiate
playing career.
As a college quarter-
back, Wiese spent three
s eas ons at Mi nnes ot a
State University-Mankato
(1995-97) before the 1995
graduate, transferred to
the University of Wiscon-

As a senior quarterback
in 1998, Wiese led the
Pointers to a share of the
Wisconsin Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference title.
He l a t e r gr a dua t e d

I went to school for
education and knew that
collegiate coaching was

was fortunate enough to
get my foot in the door at
UW-Eau Claire.
Despi t e hi s success,
Wiese said the desire to
uproot his family in pur-
suit of a higher division
coaching position simply
isnt there.
He and his wife Jen-

School when the Vikings were able
to go 4-1 as a team to take second
place and are now 19-2 in duals this
season with the only losses to teams
ranked in the top 10, including No. 8
Milton earlier this year.
Some of the key matchups were
against No. 2 Merrill, honorable
mention Pulaski and Pewaukee,
ranked No. 6 in Division 2. Stough-
ton was 2-1 in those matches with
wins over Pulaski (29-27) and
Pewaukee (35-26). The only loss
was to Merrill (37-31) that was
within a decision and some bonus
points from being a win.
We just didnt score enough
bonus points against Merrill, but
the main thing was Pulaski defeated
Merrill, and we ended up finishing
second on a tiebreaker, Spilde said.
A one-match swing and a couple
of bonus points, and we would have
been undefeated against the best
teams in the state.
The Vikings also took care of
Waukesha South (53-18) and Mil-
waukee Marquette (72-9).
Freshmen Brandon Klein (106)
and Tristan Jenny (113) and Model,
Kraus, Nelson and Hasselberger all
went 5-0, while senior Brian Wag-
ner was 4-1. Helland, Pulley and
Benton all were 3-2 on the day.
Klein is an honorable mention at
16-9, and he had two pins, a major
decision and two decisions. His
biggest wins were a 14-0 major
over honorable mention Aiden Ball
(Merrill) and a 4-3 win over D2
honorable mention Rajiv Geffert
(Pewaukee).
Jenny (20-9) is No. 14 on wiwres
tling.com. Jenny had three pins and
two forfeit wins. Model (21-11)
added a major decision, three regu-
lar decisions and a forfeit win.
Kraus (25-5) picked up two big
wins, one a 4-2 sudden victory over
No. 9 Scott Arneson (Merrill) and a
9-2 decision over honorable mention
Brent Hendzel (Pulaski). He also
had two pins and a technical fall.
Hasselberger (26-3) also knocked
off a ranked opponent. He defeated
No. 7 Bradley Prentice (Pulaski),
who is ranked at 120 pounds, 7-4.
Hasselberger added a 27-12 tech-
nical fall over honorable mention
Hunter Welch (Merrill). He also had
a pin, another decision and a forfeit
win.
Nelson had two pins, two techni-
cal falls and a forfeit in his matches.
Wagner picked up two pins, a
major decision and a regular deci-
sion, and his wins against Pewaukee
and Pulaski were pivotal in winning
both duals, Spilde said.
Helland (15-12) added a pin, a
major and a decision, while Pulley
picked up two pins and a decision.
Benton (16-11) picked up two pins
and a forfeit.
Merrill won the invite. Pulaski
took third.

successful retailer.
Former city alder Buzz
Davis has been one of the
most active and vocal crit-
ics of proposed develop-
ment especially of using
TIF, a form of taxpayer
assistance, to fund infra-
structure improvements that
will enable the project.
There was no discus-
sion previously of the TIF,
which would be a subsidy,
so this is all fast-tracking of
stealth agreements, which
will eventually upset people
once they find out whats
going on, Davis told the
Hub on Tuesday.
The plan calls for $5.1
million from the city in TIF
assistance, and it includes
the city borrowing of about
$2.3 million this year and
another $2. 3 million in
2015 for the project.
Advocates say the devel-
opment is worth the invest-
ment because the funds will
eventually be paid back
through business taxes and
an expanded tax base.
But objections are also
being raised about the lack
of a public discussion in
the weeks since the devel-
opment agreement was
released.
Members of the Com-
mon Council and the public
were expected to engage
that debate Tuesday night
at the councils meeting in
the Public Safety Build-
ing. Opponents of the citys
proposals hoped they could
persuade the council to
table a vote on the develop-
ment agreement, which was
listed as a possible action
item on the meeting agenda.
But Davis has had a hard
time organizing opposition.
No one from the media and
few from the public showed
up for a press conference
late Friday afternoon that
Davis and others from Cre-
ate a Sustainable Stoughton
held.
The group organized a
three-hour information ses-
sion for the public on Sun-
day afternoon that was also
sparsely attended. Davis
said there were about six
or seven people there.
But Davis is determined,
and he and supporters held
a second news conference
Tuesday, 45 minutes before
the council meeting. He
was joined by Stoughton
alders Michael Engelberger
and Tim Swadley.
Davis said he and mem-
bers of Create a Sustainable
Stoughton wanted the coun-
cil to table a vote on the
development agreement,
have an impartial eco-
nomic impact study done
to better understand how a
Supercenter would affect
existing businesses, and
then hold a public hearing
on the study.
He thinks the developer
is employing a strategy of
fast-tracking the approval
process in hopes the public
wont have time to learn
the details of what is being
proposed, while proponents
of the project charge the
opposition is engaging in
stalling tactics, hoping to
eventually derail it.
There are many busi-
ness people who do not
know whats going on,
Davis said. They dont
all read the Hub, and even
with the Hub they wouldnt
know whats going on with
things happening so fast.
All you have to do is miss
one week.
Mayor Donna Olson has
denied allegations of too
much secrecy. She said its
common practice for devel-
opers to withhold the iden-
tity of companies until an
agreement is reached with a
municipality.
She said Stoughton needs
economic development and
this is an opportunity to
finally grow the city after
years of decline.
The developer has to
provi de t he guarant eed
amount of increment, or
of assessed value, before
the city will commit any
kind of TIF, Olson said.
And this is not an agree-
ment with Wal-Mart. This
is an agreement with the
developer, Kettle Park West
LLC.
Others, such as Alds.
Swadley and Engelberger,
contend that theres little
difference between giv-
ing money to a developer
through TIF and giving it
directly to a company that
the developer is working
with. The result is the same
either way, they say.
Davi s and t hose who
agree with his position,
including at least a few
alders and former alder and
County Board supervisor
Denise Duranczyk, say the
mayor and the majority of
the council believe in a
false idea.
That is that the more
property value we can get,
the more tax levy we can
get for the city and that get
the city out from under-
neath the state revenue con-
trols if we only had more
property value, Davis said.
Thats absolutely wrong.
These folks have not done
their research. They have
not talked with experts.
Its a charge that Olson
disputes. She remains con-
fident that the development
is right for the city.
We haven t done a
large development like this
before, she said. This is
big step for the city.
Opposition: Group wants additional study of development before TIF is offered

Wal-Mart has been revealed as the tenant of a new 153,000 square-
foot store proposed in Kettle Park West. Opponents are concerned
about using TIF for development.

The frosty weather didnt discourage dozens of ice anglers at Saturdays annual Fisheree and Bounty
Hunt at Lake Kegonsa. The event lasted from midnight to 4 p.m., and the lake was filled with a color-
ful variety of shacks and shanties.
There was no discussion previously of
the TIF, which would be a subsidy, so this
is all fast-tracking of stealth agreements,
which will eventually upset people once
they find out whats going on.

River Bluff students build lunar landers
River Bluff Middle School science students returned from winter break with a special challenge
build a lunar lander to protect two astronauts as they land.
Tom Palmer and Melissa Maags eighth-grade students were tasked with designing and building a
lander using materials like a paper cup, index cards, marshmallows, rubber bands and straws.
In the lesson, students assume the role of NASA aerospace engineers, using the engineering design
process to learn steps for designing, creating and improving equipment, according to the lesson
website. They design and build a shock-absorbing system that protects two marshmallow astro-
nauts when they land. By doing so, they come to understand some of the challenges of lunar
landings.
The exercise helps students see the design process and think creatively about a problem so they can
produce a successful result.

helping out one bit.
Its family I never felt
burdened; it was never a
question of how it will be
done, Juve said. You can
have 101 friends, but when
the chips are down, its
family. How do you turn
your back on that? You
work it into your schedule.
My theory is, if you want
something done, ask a busy
person.
It was the way I was
raised you think of others
first, and you just do it.
Respect for elders
Juve grew up without
knowing her grandmothers,
so she takes satisfaction
and personal joy in help-
ing all these sweet little
ladies, whether theyre
friends from church or cli-
ents at her shop.
Every one of them is
like a grandma to me,
she said. When the ladies
come in, I will help them in
or back out nothing any-
body wouldnt do for their
grandma or mom. If theyre
home sick or had surgery,
Ill go to their house. When
you get your hair done, you
feel better about yourself.
Look good, feel good.
With three children of
her own and a grandson
who also take up her time,
Juve wouldnt have her life
any other way.
Its a challenge and its
fun, she said.
Amazingly, Juve is still
looking to fit more into her
already bustling schedule.
As a Stoughton native, she
did a lot of volunteer work
for the annual Syttende Mai
celebration in the past, and
would like to help out more
in the future with the popu-
lar event.
It s very i mport ant ,
and it brings revenue to
the downtown, it brings
in peoples families and
friends, and students who
have graduated, she said.
It gives you that little
first festival of the sum-
mer feel, because its so
early in May. We do tend
to blow it out of propor-
tion if you want, but we do
make it fun. You go down-
town and see people you
havent seen in a while.
Weve lived in other places
and travel quite often, and
when you come back to
Stoughton, you know.
Ever-modest, Juve said
she is honored and hum-
bled to be named the Citi-
zen of the Year.
Ever yt hi ng I do, I
do from t he heart , and
I dont think of it as all
that special, she said. I
do it because I want to,
and thats the way I was
raised.
High praise
Timothy Potratz wrote
that Juve deserved the hon-
or because of her outlook
about her fellow human
being.
Cel i a has spent her
entire life caring about
people, he said. Helping
them. Doing for them what
they are unable to do them-
selves. Helping them to do
what they know they can
do but are afraid to do on
their own.
Whet her i n her busi -
ness, her community, her
church or in her circle of
friends and family, Potratz
said Juve is always help-
ing someone out, but never
talking or bragging about
her accomplishments.
She is much too mod-
est for that, he said. I
hear from those who see
her selfless acts on a daily
basis. And she makes me
so proud.
Sharon Folbrecht wrote
that Juve is especially well-
known for t aki ng some
extra time and care with
seniors.
She goes out of her way
for everyone all the time
as though it is just part of
life, Folbrecht said. She
is the kindest and most
thoughtful person I know.
Sara Frey wrote that Juve
is always willing to help
those in need, regardless of
who they are.
She i s al ways t here,
reliable and just a great all-
around woman, she said.
Trevar Smedal said Juve
will help out anyone in
any way she can and not
complain one bit.
She is a very hardwork-
ing and loving citizen of
Stoughton, he said. She
runs a successful busi -
ness from home while also
taking care of her father,
mother in-law, and grand-
son.
Cassi e St randl i e sai d
Juve i s a per son who
always puts others before
herself.
She is always willing to
lend a helping hand to her
family, friends, and com-
munity, Strandlie said.
She does this all on top
of running her own salon
business making people
look and feel beautiful.
