Stoughton High School students Ben Erickson and Jared Braaten are learning all about engines as part of the schools Youth Apprenticeship program.
They are two of 13 SHS students enrolled in the growing program this year, which provides students with on-the-job training with local businesses, as
well as high school credits. Shown at right, from top, are Jacob Bausch, Mikayla Brager and Mikayla Donlon working at their apprenticeships.

Its not easy for high school students


to figure out what they want to do for a
career while theyre still teenagers.
In the Stoughton Area School District,
they can turn to school-to-career coordinator Cindy Vaughn, who oversees
a youth apprenticeship program that is
growing steadily.
This year it has 14 Stoughton High
School students working as youth apprentices, by far the most the school has
ever had, said Vaughn, who has overseen
the program for all of its four years. She
said the number of participating students
will likely increase next school year, as
well.
Its a lot of kids, (but) we have the
potential for more, Vaughn said. Our
numbers have steadily increased over
time; this year weve just seen really nice
numbers.

Development youth apprenticeship programs, visit:

Area employers have included Cummins Filtration, Isthmus Engineering,


Mandt Equestrian, Chalet Veterinary,
Associated Bank, Eugster's Farm Market
and Screamin Acres.
The apprenticeships are paid work
experiences through the program, developed in 1991 and administered through
the Department of Workforce Development.

instruction. The two-year program


requires up to 900 hours of work-based
learning and four semesters of classroomrelated instruction.
The employer helps mentor that student and serve not as just a supervisor, but somebody who talks to them,
Vaughn said. Its very multifaceted in
terms of benefits to kids; not just going to
work and getting credit.

Learning on the job


The types of jobs students do in their
various programs vary widely: manufacturing and engineering, veterinary technician, pharmacy technician, farm hand,
equine handler and welding, among others.
For Megan Kreuger and Mitch Bartolerio, their apprenticeships are helping them focus on career interests she

The City of Stoughton is looking to take


over the former MillFab site to use it for
future development.
In a closed session March 11, the citys
Redevelopment Authority voted to make
an offer to purchase the property for an
undisclosed amount. The Common Council
met after the Hubs deadline in closed session Tuesday to discuss the offer. The offer
would be contingent on the results of additional testing of the property.
This 6-acre property, which was the site
of the MillFab/Holley Mouldings Corp., has
been vacant since September. The company
ceased operating then and is in receivership.
The property has been a focal point for
several years in the citys efforts at downtown redevelopment along the Yahara riverfront. The RDA has been discussing the
MillFab site at regular meetings since the
plant closed, and board members received
more details about the site through a study
conducted by Vierbicher Associates earlier
this month before making the offer to purchase.
The study showed a mixture of soil conditions on the site, as well as some levels of contamination that would have to
be removed prior to redevelopment. More
study would have to be done to determine
the extent of the contamination.
Also included in the study were potential
avenues of financial assistance in regard to
development and riverfront improvements.
If the offer is approved and the city proceeds with buying the site, the purchase
could open a large area along the riverfront
for redevelopment.
In addition to the MillFab site, the city
had also purchased other property in the
same area 2.25 acres at 501 E. South
St., the site of a former Stoughton Trailers building. The hopes for the project are
to enhance the citys historic downtown,
strengthen existing businesses and draw
more people to the city.

Site assessment
The site assessment was an important part
of the decision to make an offer on the property.
Vierbicher representative Gary Becker
said the site is developable, but there are

A life in agriculture

Blue Moon Community Farm wins organic food award


chef/restaurant, nonprofit
organization and organic
farms, each have an opportunity to donate their $500
prize to a nonprofit organization of their choice. Kordet says she hasnt decided
yet where her prize money
will go.
The award is an indication of the level of respect
and admiration that Blue
Moon has earned since
Kordet established the farm
from scratch 10 years ago.
Choosing a career in
agriculture and running a
CSA (community supported agriculture) farm that
serves as many as 160 families per week was not an
obvious choice for Kordet.
She grew up outside
Cleveland, Ohio, and knew
almost nothing about growing vegetables. She studied
dance and environmental
planning in college, and
after graduating landed a
job in an environmental
planning office, where she
spent lots of time around

Moon Community Farm
looks a little colorless in
March but by June will be
transformed into six acres
of bright organic vegetables, with some pastureraised pigs and poultry
doing their thing around the
farm as well.
Kordet learned a couple
of weeks ago that the readers of Edible Madison magazine had chosen her farm
for a Local Hero Award.
Sponsored by Organic
Valley Cooperative, the
awards are nominated and
voted on by thousands of
Edible Madison readers.
Kordet was real surprised to discover that
her small farm, about halfway between Oregon and
Stoughton on Schneider
Drive, had been selected
as a winner. The five Local
Hero Award winners, chosen from such categories as

agriculture.
She developed an interest
in organic and natural foods
and thought shed like to
learn how to grow vegetables herself.
In 2000, Kordet applied
for and got a job on a CSA
vegetable farm in the Hudson River Valley of New
York.
I thought Id go to work
on a farm for the summer
and just think about my
next move, she explained.
I didnt really think of it as
a career choice. I was just
looking for something that
would be fun to do, and I
was interested in food.

She spent a couple of


years on the farm and loved
the work. But, Kordet said,
she didnt want to stay in
New York and began thinking about what to do next.
Again it was sort of a
search for an area where
there are interesting farms,
and Madison was definitely
kind of a hot area on the
map, with the CSA Coalition and a lot of farms in
the area, she recalled.
Even when I was in New
York, people carried around
the cookbook that was produced here for CSA farms.
No one else was really
doing stuff like that, and so
Madison was on my radar.
Although she didnt
know anyone in the Madison area, Kordet found a
job and moved here.
She fell in love with
the community the community of farmers and
southern Wisconsin in general and appreciated that
theres strong support for
agriculture here.
It is kind of a fun scene
for people who want to get
started, she said.
In 2004, she began farming an acre of rented land in
the Town of Dunn. Gradually the operation grew to
include six acres, and in
2008 she bought the farm
that she operates today. She
lives there with her husband, an ecological consultant who works from
a home office, and their
22-month-old son, Cyrus.
After Cyrus was born in
May 2013, Kordet decided
she could use more hands
on the farm and hired a
couple of assistant managers, who work for her 10
months of the year. She
also employs a field crew
of three to four people who
work seasonal schedules.
We work pretty closely
together, Kordet said. Its
(a) small and very diverse
farm, so theres lots to keep
tabs on at all times.
The farm is USDA-certified organic, and at six
acres, Kordet has found
that on this scale we can
mechanize some aspects
of the farm, and also do
enough by hand that were
keeping careful tabs on our

I think weve hit kind of
a sweet spot with production where were using the
tools that we use very well,
but we havent gotten to
the size yet where we need
a lot more equipment, she
observed. Theres something to be said for achieving enough of a scale that
you can mechanize a little
bit and you can still eat
healthy food.

about local food. Im not

Spring election

Board OKs 10-year capital plan

Early voting ends April 3

School spending

Annual amounts

Even in a financially hard-pressed


school district like Stoughtons, its
important to maintain and upgrade
buildings and facilities, and district
officials have a plan in place they
feel comfortable with.
Last Monday, the school board
approved around $5.3 million in capital improvements to all schools and
district facilities, after district buildings and grounds supervisor Calvin
Merath briefly outlined some of the
planned work, none of which are
major projects.
A lot of our buildings are relatively newer, and thats definitely a
good place to be sitting, he said.
Some of the larger upcoming
changes include installing air conditioning at River Bluff Middle School
and Sandhill Elementary School,
at the cost of around $450,000 per
building. The projects each tentatively would be phased in over a threeyear period beginning in 2018-19
for River Bluff and then starting in
2020-21 for Sandhill.
A significant amount of carpeting
will be replaced at Fox Prairie Elementary School as well.
Merath said roof maintenance is
an important item for the district,
but that the buildings are sitting

relatively well, and that the plan is


to try to resurface sections showing
some age instead of replacing, with
a goal to extend the life of the roofs
25 to 30 years.
Maintenance staff will be keeping up on asphalt repair and resealing and resurfacing based on need
and weather factors, and will also
be repairing exterior walls of district
buildings as necessary.
As you get around the district you
see some (issues) exposed joints
and cracks and bricks or mortars,
Merath said. You get water inside
and when it freezes and thaws during
the winter, it will exasperate some
problems. We want to take a proactive (approach) and mitigate problems going forward.
Merath said some minor upcoming

items include facade replacement around the high school, fence


replacement at facilities and installing more energy-efficient LED lighting, particularly around the high
school.
The payback on those is getting
to be a lot better as the technology is
getting better, he said. A lot more
manufacturers are making those
now.

Hirsch is a fair-minded leader


Regina Hirsch is an excellent
choice for Stoughton City Council
Dist. 3.
We have worked together on
the Division Street Park volunteer project last spring and other
sustainability projects. Ive found
her to be reasonable, knowledgeable, and fair-minded with a high
degree of integrity in everything
she does.
She has a real talent for working
collaboratively with people of different points of view in a respectful and productive way. She will
add a considered and thoughtful voice to city council and her
qualities will be instrumental in
bridging the divide we have seen
in recent years. She has a strong
desire to see our city prosper in an
economically and environmentally

sustainable way into the future.


In addition, she has great ideas
and she has the skills and background in business, strategic planning, accounting, and environmental consulting to help bring
about positive, forward momentum for the city. Shell work hard
to represent the residents of her
district by being available and
responsive to them, and shell
work to engage our citizens in
government so that Stoughton
remains a vibrant and dynamic
community.
She is undeniably a qualified
and committed leader, and the
best choice for city council.

Engelberger brings sound leadership

Please vote for Mike


Engelberger in Dist. 2 on
April 7.
He is the best choice not
only from proven leadership in his tenure these
past three years on the
council, but in many other
walks of life as well.
Currently Mike is the
council president. He
has a progressive vision
for Stoughton that cares
for the people over special interests. This vision
includes working to help
make the City Council a
unit that works collaboratively and to take steps in
moving positive and balanced population and economic growth for our city.
This includes wanting to
bring the City Council and
school board together on
the same page for growth
and area planning.

Mike has always been


a people person. From his
work as an elected union
leader to representing
the individual needs of
Stoughton residents, Mike
has proven his ability to
actively listen and work
to meet the needs he sees
in those individuals. His
judgment and compassion
are evident in the way he
approaches and works to
solve issues.
I have been personally
impressed with Mikes
ability to get to the facts,
weigh them up and make
sound fact-based decisions. Folks who have
been at council meetings
or viewed council meetings on WSTO, they have
been impressed with the
clarity and directness of
Mikes leadership. He
is committed to keeping

Stoughtons downtown
viable for business as well
as multi-use buildings
that include business and
apartments.
All these reasons make
Mile Engelberger my
choice for alder in Dist. 2
on April 7. Join me and
other community leaders
in electing Mike for sound
leadership.

I have had the honor of


knowing Mike Gilbert for
over 30 years.
During that time Ive had
the opportunity to work
with him on a regular basis
as a colleague in the several management roles hes
held at Nelson Industries,
Cummins, Inc., and Nelson
Global Products.
The reasons for Mikes
success in those roles are
the same reasons he would
make an outstanding member of the Stoughton City
Council.
Throughout his career,
Mike was a committed
hands-on manager, who
always had a solid grasp
of the details of any project he was engaged in. In
leading these projects, he
demonstrated an excellent
understanding of the perspectives and capabilities of
the members of the teams
he was managing. Mike
was able to build consensus within these teams, and
contribute to the success
of the entire organization.
This long-time track record
of successfully navigating in the business world is
exactly the type of experience we need now in the
City Council.
Im also proud to say
that over the years, Mike
has become a good friend
of mine. I know how very
deeply Mike and his family are committed to this
community. Mike is a man
of his word, with a calm,
common sense approach to
issues, no matter how complex those concerns seem to
be initially. Over the years,
Mike has demonstrated a
consistent service to others, as shown by his volunteer work with Junior Student Achievement, the Boy
Scouts, and the Stoughton
Rotary Club. He has the
thoughtful personality and
demeanor that will be a
significant asset to the City
Council.
I strongly encourage the
residents of Dist. 2 to support Mike in his bid to
become their aldermanic
representative in this years
election.
He will effectively represent the views of those
who live in the district and
help to move the City of
Stoughton forward in a
positive way. This will be
a benefit to all of those who
are proud to call Stoughton
home.

I am voting to re-elect
Michael Engelberger
on April 7 for Stoughton
Common Council Dist.
2 because he truly cares
about the people in our
community.
Michael has demonstrated time after time as an
incumbent council member
and current council president that he has the experience and integrity necessary to represent the best
interests of the people of
Stoughton. He is responsive to citizen needs,
makes prudent financial
and policy decisions and
has the drive and ability to
move our city forward.
Michael advocates
for an open and honest

Dont Worry About


Your Own Happiness
One of the supreme ironies of human
nature is the fact that being overly concerned about our own happiness usually diminishes it, while working diligently
to improve the welfare of others usually
adds to our own happiness. And, while
it is true that we should be the primary
caretakers of our own welfare, and
should tend to our own health, education and well-being with care, it is still
the case that being overly concerned
with our own happiness almost always
interferes with it. Happiness is usually
a byproduct of other activities. Perform
your work well and youll probably feel
good about it. Cultivating your relationships with family and friends pays big
dividends in terms of our happiness.
Limit your desires for material things.
Greed and envy are preventable obstacles to happiness; money and material
things are a very fleeting source of
satisfaction. So, do what you can to
help others, and do it with a pure heart,
seeking only the good of the other and
not your own.

You have not lived today until you
have done something for someone who
can never repay you.

Introspective writer, singer makes Opera House debut


Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

With the soulful voice of


a songbird and obvious talent as a wordsmith, Heather Maloney makes her first
appearance Friday at the
Stoughton Opera House in
a solo performance.
Maloney, 29, is touring
in support of her second
full-length album, Making
Me Break, which is being
released on Signature
Sounds next month. The
album features full-band
arrangements of Maloneys
songs, in contrast to her
self-titled debut from 2013.
Last year, she recorded
an EP with the acousticroots band Darlingside and
was so pleased with the
results that she decided to
put out an indie folk-rock
record this time around,
with the lushness, textures
and a little bit more edge
than a solo voice-and-guitar album.
Yet she wanted to keep
her vocals and lyrics as the
collections centerpiece,

If you go
Who: Heather Maloney
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday,
March 27
Where: Stoughton Opera
House, 381 E. Main St.
Tickets: $15
Info: 877-4400
Website:
stoughtonoperahouse.com
Maloney said in a interview while traveling across
Texas.
Before finding what she
feels is her more authentic voice, Maloney had
studied classical operatic,
improvisational jazz vocals
and music theory for several years in New Jersey, as
well as a brief stint studying classical Indian vocals.
Her early performances in
New York City were held
at jazz venues.
I love jazz, but it
didnt feel like where I
belonged, she said. I was
grasping to find what felt
like home and needed to do
something radical.
She decided to enter a
silent Buddhist meditation
retreat center in Massachusetts, where she lived

and worked for nearly


three years. Maloney said
long hours of silence and
contemplation a first
encountering of my inner
self resulted in a creative breakthrough and a
realization of her muse.
Suddenly, instead of working to find the right words,
Maloney felt she had a reason to write and a need to
express her thoughts.
If you dont pay attention to how your heart and
mind is, stuff builds up,
she said. For me, it was
like a lifetime of stuff.
I identified what my
muse was but never want
to claim to have conquered
it, she added.
Maloneys songs take
cues from such bleeding
hearts as Fiona Apple,
Tori Amos and Aimee
Mann, with clear signs of
Joni Mitchells influence
in her work as well.
Thats particularly true
of the albums title track,
Making Me Break,
which displays a phrasing
reminiscent of Mitchell in
her heyday.
Maloney said the song
is related to her Saturn
Return thing a time of
coming into alignment
with your lifes true path.

fruit bars and Julebrus, a raspberry soda, to share during their
presentation of Norway.

For her, that meant dealing with a lot of childhood wounds and all kinds
of darknesses, a time
when things you avoided
in your 20s kind of come to
a head.
I think the lyrics to that
song kind of came to be the
heart of the record, she
said.
Maloneys Involuntary
was a subtle approach at
writing something political without crafting a song
with a political agenda.
I wanted to write a
song about the experience of war from a personal perspective without
any politics involved, she
explained. Its about two
human beings and what
they were like before one
of them went off to war,
and what they were like
after he returned.
The deeply emotional song, underscored by
Maloneys affecting, resonant voice, is set up as
an observation of how a
male character sang in
the mornings, and all of
his songs reached out like
a sprout from the earth.
He sang to the Heavens,
and every note was a plea,
involuntary, like a leaf to
the sun.

Words Hurt
SHS students share video,
stories against bullying

Last week, Stoughton High School students viewed a short antibullying video made by
2014 SHS graduate Alex
Hanneman as part of the
schools Words Hurt
week programming. The
video, which was incorporated into a lesson plan for
teachers, was created last
year by a group formed at
the school called Youth
Max.
The group was made up
of 25 teacher-recommended student leaders and targeted bullying and acceptance as issues to address.
Throughout the week,
students signed a pledge to
be conscious of language
and also to share stories of
when language has healed
or hurt them. They posted
stories along a wall, with
their pledges.

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Stoughton girls track and field

secured two individual titles Friday
to claim the small school division of
the Nelson-Daniel Classic at UWWhitewater.
Sophomore Aly Weum won the
400-meter dash by a second, turning
in a Nelson-Daniel record time of
59.27 seconds in the first meet of the
season. Catholic Memorial sophomore Maddy Rondeau finished a distant second in 1:00.16.
Im very excited for Aly. She is
running stronger than she did last
year at this time and I am so pleased
for her. She is such a great competitor and teammate, said Vikings
head coach Eric Benedict, whose
team held East Troy at bay 71.5-70.
Stoughton didnt enter the 4x400,
4x800 or 3,200 because the team
was competing the next day in Platteville
We wanted the athletes to get
home at a reasonable hour, Benedict said.The meet didnt get done
till past 11 p.m.
Not to be outdone, senior Hannah
Posick added the pole vault crown

by over a foot. Posick, a returning


state qualifier in the event, was the
only girl to go over 8-9, claiming the
crown at 10 feet.
Hannah has worked really hard
during the off-season on the pole
vault, Benedict said. She has some
work, yet I am very pleased to see
her have great success this early in
the season.
Fellow distance standout and
Winona State recruit, senior Nikki
Staffen, posted a second-place finish in the mile. Clinton senior Julia
Kaster earned the top spot in 5:23.50,

state qualifier).

in the triple jump. East Troy junior
Katrina Santos secured the title with
a distance of 33-11, while Big Foot

sophomore Brooke Wellhausen (332 ) and Lonnebotn (32-11 1/2)


rounded out a very competitive top
three. Continuing to show the teams
depth, sophomore Kassidy McMillan tied for sixth place with a distance 31-5.
Senior Alexa Deutsch dropped
eight hundreds of a second between
prelims and finals, but dropped from
third to fourth in the standings with
a 9.49.
Fellow senior Megan Reese added
a fourth-place finish in the long jump
(16 feet), while sophomore Kylie
Lynch added a seventh-place finish

training all winter and is in great
shape for the season.
Sophomore Payton Kahl added
a fourth place in the high jump on
attempts, clearing 4-10.
Sophomore Clea Roe turned in a

Tri State invite

to take a second straight indoor title
Saturday, Stoughton faired well
against stiffer competition in the
large division of the Tri-State Invitational.
Though Badger South rival Oregon had the Vikings number headto-head in three different events
Saturday at the Tri-State Invitational, Staffen, Weum, Reese and
Roe helped Stoughton dominate the
4x800 in 10:11.75.
Sun Prairie (121.5) distanced itself
from Freeport (113.5) just enough
for top team honors, while Platteville (91) and Oregon (78.5) slipped
ahead of the Vikings (50.5).
Stoughton junior Maren Gryttenholm finished runner-up to Badger South rival Maddie LeBrun
(1:01.62) in the 400 meter dash with
her time of 1:04.36.
Roe added a fourth-place finish
in the mile, stopping the watch in

5:55.45.

to Oregon freshman Alexis Jackson (9.25) in 9.45. Stoughton junior
Shelby Orcutt added a fifth-place
finish in 10:17.
The Vikings saw their 4x400 relay
finish off the pace of Oregon in the
4x400 relay as well, as Staffen,
Weum, Reese and Posick posted a
second-place time of 4:17.95. Oregon won the race in 4:14.8.
Halverson took sixth in the

jump (30 feet).
Freshman Emily Reese and Kahl

(2:45.44) and long jump (13-7 3/4),
respectively. Deutsch matched the
finish, but had to split the point, tying
Freeport senior Emily Colberg at 6
feet in the pole vault.
Stoughton missed out on more
points when the 4x100 relay was
DQed on an exchange out of the
zone.
The Vikings varsity travels to
UW-Parkside on Saturday, while the

Q. What is respite care?


A. Respite care is temporary, intermittent care provided to an elder or those

with disabilities so the regular caregivers may have an opportunity to have


some time for themselves.
Respite care not only benefits the senior caregiver. Seniors appreciate respite
care as it provides them an opportunity to socialize and converse with someone
other than their primary caregiver. The variety of having someone else come
into the home adds to their enjoyment of life.
Stephen Rudolph
FACHE, CSA
And when you schedule respite care to give yourself valuable downtime, youll
likely be more enjoyable company for your loved one, as you will be more rested and relaxed.
Without respite care, youre more likely to become resentful, depressed and more susceptible to
infection and illness--all of which you can pass on to the loved one you are caring for.
Do yourself and your loved one a favor by making good use of respite care.

MillFab: Possible purchase by the city could be early step in downtown redevelopment
Continued from page 1

Photo by Mark Ignatowski

The MillFab plant closed last fall. An auction was held last month by
the receiver to clear out equipment and supplies.

Though the RDA has


an overall riverfront redevelopment plan, it has not
made specific plans for
this property. The focus
would more than likely lean
toward some sort of mixed
use property, RDA vice
chairman Scott Truehl said.
Toward this end, the
RDA has attempted to
encourage potential entrepreneurs, including a January presentation to the
Stoughton Area Chamber
of Commerce to educate
those in attendance about

the citys revolving loan


fund.
RDA member Ald. Ron
Christianson (D-2) told the
Hub earlier this month that
the area certainly needs
attention, and Ive been
working on it for 15 years.
The big caveat on it is we
need some major-league
investors to push this
through.
The Vierbicher presentation brought up several
financing options, including the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Wisconsin Assessment Monies, in which a
DNR consultant performs

Rocky Mountain College senior Nancy Robinson has been named


the 2015 RMC Student
Employee of the Year,
according to a recent press
release from the Billings,
Mont. university.
Robinson will be graduating from RMC with
degrees in Art, Business
Management, and Managerial Accounting.
RMCs associate dean
of student life, Katherine Carpenter, nominated

shovel-ready projects.
The next deadline for this
grant would be on April
17. A late summer/early
fall deadline would be
expected if the state budget
request for this funding is
approved.

issues with four recognized environmental conditions related to the propertys industrial past and its
location next to Stoughton
Light and Fuel Company.
He said contamination from
these sources is likely present and recommended proceeding with Phase 2 of the
study to determine its level.
The offer to purchase
which hinges on the second phase of study will
require all hazardous materials to be moved from the
site before the transaction is
completed.
Environmental testing showed high levels of
arsenic and lead in certain
places, as well as high
levels of arsenic, barium,
cadmium, mercury and silver in the groundwater and
organic pollutants called
PAHs.
Soil borings taken to a
depth of 20 feet showed
that buildings taller than
two stories would be possible, though some special construction methods
would likely be required in
most locations because of
the presence of the unsuitable materials in locations
where foundations would
be built.
The study noted that
most utility easements have
either expired or are no longer in active use, making
it easy for the city to have
them released.

Apprenticeship: Local businesses give SHS students real-world job experience


is great mechanically,
Vaughn said.
The team he works
with at Cummins is a great
group of guys, she said.
They truly serve as mentors.
Bartolerio said he likes
working with his hands and
welding, but had no idea
what he wanted to do for
a career before talking to
Vaughn about the program.
This was the perfect
spot for me, he said.
So far it has been going
great, my bosses have been
extremely helpful. Also
the other guys in the shop
are amazing teachers; they
have showed me how to
use most of the machines
and help me any time I
have a question.
Bartolerio works in the
prototype department at
Cummins Filtration, working on blueprints.
What we make can be
anything from brackets and
frames, to filters and mufflers, he said.
After graduating from
high school, Bartolerio
plans on attending Madison College for a year, and
then UW-Milwaukee for
manufacturing and fabrication. He said if not for the
youth apprenticeship program, he wouldnt be nearly as far along in figuring
out a career path
This apprenticeship has
really helped me decide
what I want to do after high
school, he said. Its is an
amazing opportunity.

Mikayla Donlon, who is
involved in the pharmacy
technician program, said
she first got interested
in the program when she
found out she could earn
school credits by doing a
job outside of school that I
love.
She was already working in a pharmacy, and was
captivated to know my
effort in both school and
work could be correlated
and recognized.
I especially love the
fact that I was set up to
take a class to further my
knowledge about my job,
as well as ways I can offer
to help the patients, Donlon said.
During a typical day, she
fills prescriptions and sells
them to patients, processes

insurance claims and organizes the pharmacy, giving optimal care to each
and every patient, she
said. After graduating from
SHS, she plans on attending college to eventually
become a pharmacist, and
is grateful for the head start
shes received with the
apprenticeship program.
Although it may be
hard to balance school and
work, if you love what
you do and exert your best
efforts, everything will fall

into place and you'll be


rewarded tremendously,
she said.

Testing the waters


An apprenticeship
doesnt ensure a student
will immediately get a job
in the workforce, Vaughn
acknowledged. But she
said its a good mechanism to get more information about a possible career
path.
Apprenticeships are
really a precursor to going

program.

on to postsecondary or additional training, she


said. It provides a kid
exposure to a career field
or industry, and sometimes
they like it, sometimes they
dont. It provides some
opportunity for thought
and reflection, (and ) in
many aspects, it reinforces
a career interest.
To be eligible, the job
must relate to the student's
career interest and goals
and the student must have
taken two semesters of
related coursework prior
to their apprenticeship.
Of course, it helps to have
local businesses that want
to help out, and Vaughn
said the school district is
fortunate to have businesses willing to sponsor
apprenticeships and mentor
students.
Vaughn also credited the
school board, district officials, businesses, parents
and community members
as being very supportive
of this program.
This is a school district
that is very supportive of
work-based learning programs, she said.
District superintendent
Tim Onsager said hes
pleased how the youth
apprenticeship program
has grown.
(It) gives students firsthand workplace experience
and allows them to explore
whether a personal interest
could be a career, he said.
Any time you can provide
students an opportunity to
learn about a profession
early on, that kind of experience can be invaluable
for charting a career path.

Essay questions
Why are you running
for alder, and why should
people vote for you?
Committed to City of
Stoughton and hard working member of City Council.
I work hard for this City
because it is a great place to
live, raise a family, educate
kids, provide for spirituality
with our devoted Church
communities and has a history that cant be beat.
Will Kettle Park West
ultimately be good for
Stoughton, and in a reasonable amount of time?
Kettle Park West could be
very positive for the City but
needs to do its fair share in
contributing to our City. I am
concerned about the citizens
funding this development
by borrowing money and
not getting taxes for many
years from the venture. I
believe that Stoughton needs
to grow and flourish with
increase in both population
and development but I am
also concerned what this
project will do to our current
businesses.
Did the city handle the
process the right way? What
could it have done better?

There should have been


much more citizen input in
the whole process. I believe
that a community forum
would have provided for
more transparency and input
and discussion. I continue
to believe that we all should
have a great deal of input
through our elected officials
and in more direct ways.
What is the primary thing
Stoughton needs to do to
attract quality business
growth?
Smart growth and development, strong community
involvement, good schools,
acquisition of development
land and sites, support of
existing businesses, focus
on our precious environment.
How can the city and
school district work together to foster economic development and bring young
families to Stoughton?
Support of our schools
and teachers and staff and
especially students, athletic programs and music.
Nice homes and affordable
housing, great schools and
cultural awareness and pride
in and of all cultures, great
businesses and commerce,
good advertising by our city
and Chamber of Commerce,
How much of a priority should the city make
attracting tourism?
This should be a very large
priority. Our Opera House
is a huge draw to our community and needs to remain
well known both in the state
and nationally. I think we
need a strong, family-based
non-alcohol Syttende Mai
festival, and others, too. We
should consider a statewide
music festival and possibly a
marathon or athletic festival.
Whats the best answer
for dealing with Hwy. 51
traffic for the coming years?
Traffic control, speed control, traffic lights, roundabout
and probable reroute of some
of Hwy. 51, pedestrian management. Possible better public transportation both in the
city and getting to and from
Metro Madison. This is not a
safe highway now and needs
revision. We need to carefully
invest our resources especially
as development occurs.

Essay questions
Why are you running for
alder, and why should people vote for you?
I am running for alder
because I care about the
Stoughton community.
People should consider voting for me because I have
a proven record of listening
to all sides of issues and
always using a factual based
approach when voting on the
council floor.

To what extent should the


city focus on street maintenance?
We have a great maintenance department and crew
and it is because we have
good history and leadership
who have seen the importance of good personnel,
good equipment and innovative techniques. This needs
to continue with city support.

Will Kettle Park West


ultimately be good for
Stoughton, and in a reasonable amount of time?
Over the last 10 years, the
City of Stoughton has been one
of the slowest growing communities in all of Dane County.
Stoughton has struggled to
attract new employers, failed to
drive commercial development
and has not been attracting
many new families to the community. This lack of growth and
economic development has
negatively affected our schools
because of continued declining
enrollment numbers and has
negatively impacted the citys
ability to fund vital services.
I believe that the KPW
development is a solid first
step in an overall economic
development plan to reinvigorate needed growth in our
community.
Did the city handle the
process the right way? What
could it have done better?
Yes, I believe the city handled the KPW development

process appropriately. It is
not so much the development
itself that has raised concerns
in our community, but rather
one of the companies that
plans to purchase a lot from
the developer (WalMart).
While WalMart brings out
strong feelings with some
in the community, overall
I believe the development
agreement the city has executed with the developer protects
the citys interests and that the
development will ultimately be
good for Stoughton.
What is the primary thing
Stoughton needs to do to
attract quality business
growth?
Stoughton needs to be
more open to growth in our
community and needs to
improve on its reputation as
a city friendly to business and
development.
Take for example WalMart.
Here we have an existing business who has operated as a
good neighbor in our community for many years in a leased
building they do not own. On
multiple occasions, this company has tried to invest in our
community and each time we
have had groups fight them at
every step.
Outwardly, this gives
Stoughton a bad reputation
and does not portray us as a
welcoming city for new businesses.
How can the city and
school district work together
to foster economic development and bring young families to Stoughton?
Stoughton needs economic
development and that requires
strong schools and businessfriendly city government.
Our school district has done
its part by ensuring that it is
offering competitive opportunities for students. Our city
government must do its part
by being much more open
to various economic growth
opportunities.
How much of a priority
should the city make attracting tourism?
Stoughton has many attributes that make it a destination location. A part of our
economic development plan is
to draw more folks to the city
for the arts, sports tournaments, etc.
Whats the best answer for
dealing with Hwy. 51 traffic
for the coming years?
The KPW project will be
bringing public infrastructure
improvements to the U.S.
Hwy. 51 corridor, which will
improve safety and traffic
movement.
To what extent should the
city focus on street maintenance?
Street maintenance is a
basic city service that must be
properly funded. Our streets
need to be maintained and
kept safe, and we need to
fund repair work each year
so that we do not fall behind
and dig ourselves into a maintenance hole that we cannot
escape from.
What other major issues
will the city face in the next
two years?
Like other communities in
southern Wisconsin, we have
many public ash trees in our
parks and street terraces that
will be negatively impacted by
the emerald ash borer.
We will be forced to find
ways to deal with that looming problem.

expertise. Neither the city


nor the school district has
anyone who qualifies. If we
are serious about economic
development, we should hire
an expert working for either
the city or the chamber and
then all should take their
cues from the expert.
How much of a priority should the city make
attracting tourism?
Our chamber should take
the lead on tourism efforts.
The city should do everything in its power to support these efforts. We have
the assets we need to be
successful; our Norwegian
heritage, the Opera House,
and our fantastic downtown.
An intelligent marketing program to the correct audience
will guarantee success.
Whats the best way for
dealing with Hwy. 51 traffic
for the coming year?
Despite the Citys best
efforts, the State DOT has
dragged its feet on the
renovation of the Highway
51 corridor. Ive attended
roundtable style meetings
on this for the past 10 years.
Fortunately, the Kettle Park
West project will have a
positive effect here. The
DOT and the developer are
working closely together to
redesign the 51/138 junction. At least this dangerous intersection will be
addressed. However, at the
end of it all, it is the state,
not the city that is the driving
force behind any substantive
changes on Highway 51.

Age: 59
Family: Married 38 years to my
wife Cindy; two adult children.
Originally
from: Madison;
have also lived in
Dubuque, Iowa,
Sun Prairie, and
Hudson
Lived in
Stoughton since: OConnor
1993
Education:
M.A., public policy and administration, UW-Madison; B.S., criminal
justice, UW- Platteville
Occupation: Retired police chief
for Stoughton
Political experience: Current
alderman for the 4th District. I
serve on the Finance, Public Safety
and Parks and Recreation committees. I have also served on the
Police and Fire Commission.
Other notable affiliations: I
volunteer as a driver for the meals
on wheels program at the Senior
Center and at the box office of the
opera house.

Essay questions
Why are you running for alder,
and why should people vote for
you?
I was appointed by the Council
to fill a vacated seat in District 4. I
would like to finish the remaining
two years of the term. I view being
on the City Council as an opportunity to continue my public service.
I believe my experience as Police
Chief of Stoughton has given me
good insight and understanding
as to the needs and operation of
the city.
Will Kettle Park West ultimately be good for Stoughton, and in
a reasonable amount of time?
Yes, on balance, I believe it will.
Did the city handle the process
the right way?
Yes, I believe it was handled
correctly. What could it have
done better? I think it would have
been better to have the Economic
Impact Analysis completed earlier
on in the process.

What is the primary thing


Stoughton needs to do to attract
quality business growth?
Have a person dedicated to economic development and by having
property available for development.
How can the city and school
district work together to foster
economic development and bring
young families to Stoughton?
I think people move to
Stoughton because it is a safe
community in which to raise a
family, with a good education system and convenience to Madison
and Janesville areas. If the city
and school district continues to do
that, they will have done their part.
How much of a priority should
the city make attracting tourism?
I think tourism is very important
to make Stoughton a destination
community. For instance, we all
know the boost Stoughton gets
during the Syttende Mai celebration. We see a similar boost to the
local economy with Opera House
events, the Jr. Fair, and soon the
Norwegian Heritage Center.
Whats the best answer for
dealing with Hwy. 51 traffic for
the coming years?
I see USH 51 essentially as a
ribbon separating two sides of the
city. During the day it is difficult
and dangerous to cross, especially
as a pedestrian or bicyclist. We
need to make it safer to do so
in the short term. Long term, I
believe a bypass will be beneficial
to safety.
To what extent should the city
focus on street maintenance?
As a basic service, roads should
be kept in good condition as a
high priority.
What other major issues will
the city face in the next two
years?
Maintaining public service levels
with budget constraints and limited growth will be a challenge
