Minimal budget
Petersen and other volunteers are concerned that most
people here dont know the
clinic exists. Theyve recently
stepped up efforts to get the
word out that there is a free
health clinic in Stoughton to
help people in need.
The clinic is located in a
small house on 1116 Ridge
St next to the Skaalen Nursing and Rehabilitation Clinic.
Skaalen owns the house and
donates it to use as a free clinic.
The clinic typically sees
six to 10 patients per night,

Physicians assistant Todd Woodhouse is one of a handful of volunteer physicians at Shalom Holistic Health
Services in Stoughton. The free health clinic offers health care to low-income people in the Stoughton Area
School District.

To be eligible for

services, patients must
be at least 18 years old,

TIF creation

Developers request nixed as
economic analysis waits
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group
The Common Council last week unanimously decided to table a developers request that
city staff begin working to create a tax-increment financing district for Kettle Park West.
The council followed Mayor Donna Olsons
suggestion to hold off on creating a KPW project plan and TIF district until more progress has
been made on the required economic impact
analysis.
Finance director Laurie Sullivan said creating
TIF district No. 6 for KPW would take about a
month.
The developer asked us to bring it forward
and start working on the project plan so that
when the councils ready to see it, its ready to
go, she told the Hub on Monday.
I think thats a good idea, too, but right now
the information that they need to even begin
the economic impact study hasnt happened.
We dont want to work on the TIF project plan
if the economic impact study isnt going to be

The City of Stoughton would
like to thank American Legion
Post 59 & VFW Badger
Post 328, for donating the
American Flags that now adorn
Main Street, Stoughton.
The flags not only add a great
accent to Main Street,
but continue to remind us
of our civic pride.
Thank you

Thank you to the Motorcycle Honor Guard and Dane Co. Sheriff's Department
which escorted us from our home to the American Legion Post. Finally, thank
you to the attendees for their patience in listening to my presentation. We
are truly honored and humbled to have so many friends in the community.
Our children from NYC and Ohio were amazed at the attention given to each

I get out my book
And go on a little adventure
Up huge mountains,
Down hills,
Through burning deserts, and freezing blizzards,
Where I get the chills

To different galaxies
To different dimensions
Fighting bad guys and spies
Saving the world, going back in time

Inflated value?
Springman and Reppen contend that the estimated assessed
value of those first four retail
buildings in the 35-acre development, the only ones that have
been specifically proposed, is
inflated.
The mens figure of $13.5 million of assessed value contrasts
with the developers figure of

$18.6 million.
But Olson and Sullivan say
that isnt whats important, as
the developer will be on the
hook if the numbers dont add
up.
They told the Hub that the
higher figure was provided by
Forward Development Group,
the company thats been working with Kettle Park West LLC
and the city on the project. Sullivan said in discussions with
FDG, she asked the company
several times to check the figure
to make sure it was comfortable with it.
They came back and said
these numbers are the final numbers that we decided to put in the
agreement, Sullivan said. Our
job here isnt to decide whether
those numbers are inflated. Our
job is to say, developer, you
must be comfortable with this
number, because this is the number that were going to hold you
to.
She said the Common Council will use that figure to decide
whether the developers guaranteed value number will work in
the TIF project plan.
If it does, of course we move
forward, Sullivan said. At the
end of the day, thats a number
the developer will have to live
with because theyre going to
guarantee it.
More importantly, she said,
its the amount that the companys bank is guaranteeing via
letters of credit.
Those letters of credit arent
dismissed or released from the
developer until they have put
$18.6 million of development in
the ground, Sullivan said.
If that amount of assessed
value isnt reached when FDG
puts the first four buildings in,
theyre not released until they
put a fifth building up, she said.
Not until they get that amount
of value on the ground are they
released.
Were not depending on a
corporation to pay us, she added. Its a bank.
Citys exposure
The mens report also states
that at $13.5 million of assessed
value, each year, taxpayers will
be making up for the borrowing
shortfall with $83,000 subsidy.
Again, Sullivan pointed to the
letters of credit.
If we were short $83,000,
thats what we could be collecting on that letter of credit guarantee, she said. I dont think
that theyre going to let that
happen.
The report is also critical
of the citys commitment to
assume 30 percent of the estimated project cost for phase 1,
which amounts to $900,000.
Reppen and Springman say
that exposes city taxpayers to
nearly $1 million of debt so that
wealthy corporations like WalMart and Kwik Trip can be beneficiaries of a developers subsidy.
Sullivan and Olson see the
situation entirely differently.
They characterized the proposed
development as a public-private
partnership that wouldnt happen without the use of TIF.
Their long-term goal is to
entice residential development
and bring young families to the
citys west end, while increasing
the citys tax base.
You cant do one without the
other, Sullivan said. The city
cannot afford to put $5 million
of infrastructure in and hope
that developers will come. They
will not come without the infrastructure. So what we tried to do
is time it so that when we have
someone who wants to be here,
we can start a TIF and put the

McFarland 8, Stoughton 5
Communication continued to be a problem for
Stoughton last Saturday
prior to an 8-5 loss against
McFarland.
While several of the
Stoughton baseball players are multi-sport athletes,
Dunnihoo said few let him
know prior to either of last
weeks games that they
wouldnt be available. It left
the team scrambling to find
a ninth player 20 minutes
to game time Saturday in
McFarland.
I knew there was a
WIAA contact day for basketball and later found out
some guys werent available
because of a basketball tournament, Dunnihoo said.
These young men need to
communicate those things to
the coaching staff, though.
Its a message hell be
sharing with these guys this
week.
Its tough playing competitive baseball when you
dont know whos showing
up, Dunnihoo continued.
Stoughton once again
struggled at the plate in the
loss, collecting just four hits.
Alex Zacharias (2-for-3)
scored once and drove in
another. Brady Wanninger
finished 1-for-3 with a pair
of RBIs.
Zacharias got the start on
the mound and worked four
innings. He allowed seven
earned runs on 10 hits and
three walks, while striking out three. Ethan Genter
tossed three innings of shutout relief, striking out one
and walking another.

Choices to make
Several colleges and universities
approached Bunnell, including the University of Minnesota, the University of
Iowa, the University of Michigan, the
University of West Virginia and Xavier
University, but he chose Kansas State
after talking to the coaches and checking out the campus.
For Bunnell, the success of the program and the fact it is in the Big 12
which includes Texas, Oklahoma State,
Texas Christian, Kansas, Baylor and
Texas Tech were big factors when it
came to choosing his future destination.
It also helped that a coach from Kansas State grew up near Stoughton and
was able to meet with Bunnell.
A lot of it was coaching, Bunnell
said. When I went on my visit, all the
coaches seemed like really good guys.
Quite a bit of it was the facilities, and
that the campus really felt like home.
Although Bunnell still has to sign

insurance but the deductibles are so high that they
have to make tough choices
each and every paycheck,
he explained. Think about
that person who has maybe a chronic illness you
know, maybe is diabetic or
has hypertension or something like that. How do
they afford the maintenance
drugs? Or even if they dont
need the drugs, just the
basic education they need
to deal with their illness.
Getting started
Petersen and Lamar
Gibson, former pastor of
United Methodist Church,
founded the clinic in June
2008, but they began looking into the idea three years
earlier. Petersen is retired
from Stoughton Hospital,
where she worked as director of outpatient services
for eight years.
We researched it and
proved that there was a
need in Stoughton before
we even got started,
Petersen recalled. At the
Methodist Church, there

Foundation and an annual
fundraising dinner in

a year.
Thats the clinics current clients. But Verdegan
is struck by how many
people we are not serving.
Theres a huge stigma
in accepting free health
care, he said.
One approach to getting
over the stigma and the concern that clinic volunteers
will judge their patients is
through personal contact.
Verdegan said the clinic
is currently exploring the
idea of outreach efforts.
Most of our staff right
now is in clinic, he said.
This outreach probably
would be a separate group
of volunteers and professionals that would be reaching out by doing blood
pressure screenings and
things like that at various
places throughout the community.
In addition to increasing awareness of the clinic
and overcoming the stigma
of free health care, Shalom
also needs more volunteers.
We can always use more
staff, because the need is
there and its really rewarding, Verdegan said.
Woodhouse and his family agree.
I was born and raised in
Stoughton, so to be able to
give back to the community
through Shalom was a good
feeling, he said.
So good, in fact, that both
his brother and his mother
now volunteer.
My mom is actually one
of the board members,
Woodhouse said. She
came on last year. And
this past year my younger
brother Eric, whos a registered nurse, has started
volunteering as well. So its
kind of nice for all of us to
help out together.
He said one of his favorite things about the clinic
is when he sees patients for
a period of time but, after
a while, doesnt see them
return.
The reason I dont see
them again is because
theyre back on their feet,
he said. Theyre able to
go back to work or theyve
gotten over their medical
condition that limited their
ability to work and get on
with their lives, without
having to live with a chronic condition or be buried
under medical expenses for
years to come.
In the three-plus years
that Woodhouse has volunteered at the clinic, he
knows of four cases in
which people were diagnosed and got the help they
needed, otherwise they
might have died, he said.
Those are four people
whose lives were probably
saved.
