Members of the Stoughton girls basketball team celebrate Saturday inside Middleton High School after beating Union Grove 35-34 in
overtime of the WIAA Division 2 sectional final game. The victory advanced the Vikings to their second state tournament in school history.
Stoughtons only other state tournament experience was in 1998 with a loss in the Division 1 quarterfinals.

It took a trip to overtime Saturday,

but the Stoughton High School girls
basketball team is headed to the WIAA
Division 2 state tournament after a
35-34 win over Union Grove Saturday
at Middleton High School.
The Vikings (24-2 overall), which
won their 23rd straight game, have had
an efficient offense all year, but it was
defense that allowed Stoughton to earn
a trip to the Resch Center in Green Bay
Friday and Saturday.

team since we were in the fourth grade,
since our very first game when we were
little, junior Aly Weum said. To get

going there. And we know that with the
streak we have our winning streak
we dont want it to end. We have two
more games, and that will accomplish
our goal.
Stoughton, which beat Monroe (1014) and Monona Grove (19-5) for a
third time at regionals, also needed to
get past Waunakee (20-4) Thursday
just to make the sectional final. The
Vikings dominated the Warriors 67-43.
It is a special group. This will
only be my second year, but I think
this group gets along tremendously.
On-and-off the floor they care about

each other, and I think that makes a
huge difference, head coach Brad
Pickett said. We have been through
some battles this year together. That
makes it special, but like we talked
about today at the beginning of practice, This is great that we accomplished one of our goals to go to state,
but lets not be done with that. While
we are there, lets win a couple more.
Stoughton will play Onalaska (215) at 1:35 p.m. Friday in the D2 state
semifinals. The winner of that game
will play the winner of Mukwonago
(23-3) and Oak Creek (23-3) in the
state final at 6:35 p.m. Saturday.
We know we have put ourselves in a
position to do good things, so as long as
we play our game, we are pretty confident, junior Payton Kahl said.

City prepares to deal with bats in Opera House

Expert to speak next

Redell breaks down bat facts, plans talk
Photo submitted
Jennifer Redell, conservation biologist with the Wisconsin

Department of Natural Resources, will deliver a talk on bats on
March 17 as part of Sustainable Stoughtons Green Thursday
series. She has been advising the city on how to deal with a suspected small colony of bats roosting in the attic of the Stoughton
Opera House.
Brehm said the Opera

House would work with
Redell this spring or early
summer to set up a day
when we will have volunteer observers present

picture we will know what

if any steps should be taken, he said.
Redell recommended
that the city install temporary one-way doors that
would allow bats to escape
the building but not return.
In an interview with the
Hub, she noted that bats in
Wisconsin are listed as a
threatened species, and that
it is illegal to kill or harm
them.
However, bats should
not be in a living space,
she continued. So its
perfectly acceptable and
encouraged that folks
should exclude bats from
their living space, but it
needs to be done at the
appropriate time of the
year.
There is a non-exclusion
period in Wisconsin June
1 through Aug. 15 when
bats cannot be excluded
from homes or buildings unless theres a valid
health concern thats been
documented, Redell said.
Brehm wrote, If we use
a few one-way doors at
the right time of year, the
Q&
Hub: Is there reason for hope for the bat population relating to
white nose syndrome?
Redell: Theres a nationwide and international collaborative effort
among different agencies and researchers to address white nose syndrome. Because of the nature of the disease and how bats behave and
what they require, were looking at a number of options. There are
various treatments that are being trialed in lab settings and also in the
field. Were involved in a number of those projects in Wisconsin.
Were anticipating that theres not one method for controlling the disease but a number
of channels to follow to attempt to treat sick bats or control the disease or prevent it from
spreading. That could be looking at vaccinations or decontamination of a hibernation site,
like a mine, or treating the bats themselves as they hibernate to try to prevent the spread of
fungal growth. Those are all things that are being looked at right now.
Hub: It sounds like a monumental problem and task.

Redell: Yes, and we find ourselves playing catch up because bats historically have been
misunderstood and therefore underfunded and understudied. And so when this disease first
became an issue and came to our attention in 2007-08, we had a lot of work to do just to
understand bat hibernation more thoroughly and then of course to understand whats causing the disease and how it affects bats. And only then could we begin to search for potential
treatments.
Hub: Why are bats important to human beings apart from the fact that they eat a lot
of mosquitos?
Redell: Worldwide, in general, 20 percent of earths mammal diversity are bats. Theres
about 1,200 species, and obviously theyre an important form of pest control. Its not just
mosquitos but its agriculture and forestry pests, particularly in this part of the world. They
save our farmers pesticide costs to the tune of billions of dollars annually.
Bats are also responsible worldwide for spreading seeds and pollinating plants that provide many of the fruits that we eat: mangoes, avocados, papayas, dates and bananas.
colony will simply take
up residence in one of the
other neighborhood roosts.
If we have a larger migratory colony, then Jennifer
and I plan to revisit options
but she doesnt think that
is likely.
Once officials have a
better idea of the bat situation, theyre likely to follow a recommendation that
Redell made at last Octobers council meeting that
the city hire a company

that specializes in keeping
bats out of human living
spaces, versus a pest-control company that might
cost less but is not as wellversed in the field.
adno=456906-01
Last October, the Common Council was persuaded to reject a staff recommendation to hire a company to attempt to bat-proof
the City Hall and Stoughton
Opera House.
Instead, the council
sent the matter back to the
Finance Committee for
more discussion. Since
then, Opera House director Bill Brehm has worked
with a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources conservation biologist
whos also a bat specialist,
Jennifer Redell, to determine the best way to keep
bats from roosting in the
theaters attic.
In a February memo to
the citys leadership team,
Brehm wrote that with
Redells help, We have
confirmed that there is a
small colony (10 or less) of
large brown bats that hibernate in the attic during the
winter.
He said Redell referred
to it as a bachelor colony
because it is a small, allmale population that probably frequents several other
roosts in the neighborhood
during the warmer months.

City of Stoughton
District completes audit of

all buildings
KPW plat, Deaks

expansion up for
public hearings
The threats to schools might not

have changed much in the last decade
or so, but some of the ways law
enforcement and school officials are
dealing with them have.
Part of Monday nights school
board meeting discussion dealt with
the nightmare scenario of an active
shooter at one of the Stoughton
schools, and how police, staff and
students would react. The topic came
up as district director of business services Erica Pickett and buildings and
grounds supervisor Calvin Merath presented findings from a recently completed safety audit.
Pickett said the audit, done every
three years, evaluated the interior
and exterior of all district buildings.
Though the item was up for only discussion, not action, the two presented
a list of recommendations for school
board members to consider in future
budgets.
Some of the smaller items included
increased use of signs and stickers
around schools to better identify areas
and increased usage of ID badges by
staff and guests. Some larger ones
were improving security cameras, creating more secure building entrances
and even changing the way schools
approach safety in the event of an
active shooter in a building.
If students enjoy having Friday off of school, they can thank

the success of the Stoughton High
School girls basketball team and
coaches.
The team is set to play its Division II state semifinal contest Friday in Green Bay against Onalaska.
Monday night, district administrator Tim Onsager said after
talking to numerous people and
going back and forth on the idea
throughout the day, he announced
all K-12 classes in the district
would be canceled to give staff and
students a chance to travel to the
game.
Scott De Laruelle
Seconds count
In a worst-case scenario where an
active shooter is in a school, district
superintendent Tim Onsager said
recent law enforcement studies are
suggesting different tactics for students and staff.
That is, if you can get out of the
building safely, do it.
If you can take your class and run
and flee, thats your first option, he
said. If you cant safely run, then
hide. If you are discovered, then you
fight; you dont just sit there Its
different, as educators, than how we
were trained.
Stoughton police chief Greg Leck
said that so-called Run, hide, fight
model is now in use in many school

districts, in part because of the high
casualties in some cases in which students and teachers have hidden in
classrooms or confined areas and were
unable to escape from a shooter.
It is age-specific, he said. Its a
mind-set and thought process for that
teacher or parent volunteer or highschooler. Weve had incidents around
the country where high school students
have stopped or prevented attacks. Its
very important.
In response to questions from board
president Liz Menzer on which recommendations should be a priority, Leck
said it should be installing more secure
entrances, which could slow down a
possible shooter from gaining access
to a building, giving police more time
to respond. He said national studies
on active shooters show it takes only
about three to five minutes for them
to complete their process, compared
with a typical police response of three
to four minutes.
Literally, every second we can gain
for going into the school and getting
there is huge; it cant be underestimated, he said Just having that slow
down, even if its just a matter of seconds, can make a difference.
Leck said the audit goes a long way
in shoring up some of the concerns
Stoughton police have about school
safety.
Having secure entrances sometimes its an inconvenience, but its
more for protection of kids and staff,
he said.
Engagement days get students moving in schools

Nothing beats the winter blahs like
some fun indoor activities.
Students at River Bluff Middle
School and Fox Prairie and Sandhill
elementary schools had some unique
opportunities to both move around and
learn some fun and informative facts
during an engagement day on Friday,
Jan. 22. According to a district release,
the programs activities are aimed
at fostering student engagement in
Stoughton schools.
At the middle school, the morning
started with the annual talent show,
River Bluff's Got Talent, before starting with its first Engagement Day of
2016, themed "Healthy Lifestyles &
Decisions." Students could choose from
activities like cornhole, snowshoeing,
yoga basketball, and could also play

Minecraft and chess, as well as a game
using clues to solve puzzles. There were
presentations about the nutritional value
of beef, and from a real-life CSI (crime
scene investigator) from the Madison
Police Department.
Its elementary
Fox Prairie Elementary School
kicked off its morning with a family
breakfast before the school day, serving around 300 families cinnamon rolls,
fresh fruit, milk and coffee, and the
chance to chat.
Later in the day, students selected
from around 20 activities overseen by
staff or community members, including
Hour of Code, geocaching on school
grounds, cookie and cupcake decorating, yoga, Tai Chi, board games, basketball. There were even engineering
challenges where students could design
paper airplanes or figure out how to
"bridge" two desks with gumdrops and
toothpicks.
Sandhill Elementary School its twiceannual Kids Club, an hour-long program that gives students a chance to
experience what it is like to be in a club
by experiencing an activity, according to the district. Students could pick
from programs including sign language,
writing Japanese, in-line skating, writing online comics, cooking and playing SKUNK, an online variation of a
dice game to illustrate the difference
between choice and chance.
Stoughton woman dies in Fulton crash

A 21-year-old Stoughton woman was killed in
a head-on collision in the
early morning last Saturday,
March 5, off U.S. Hwy 51 in
the Town of Fulton.
According to the Rock
County Sheriffs Department, Alexis Coleman was
a passenger in a 1997 Acura
Integra driven by Andrew
Wright, 26, also of Stoughton. The two were traveling north on Hwy. 51 at
around 2:20 a.m. when the
car began sliding sideways
across the center line.
According to the
department, the Acura was

struck on the passenger side
by a Toyota
Tacoma light
truck driven
by a 28-yearold Edgerton
man. Coleman, a 2013
Stoughton
High School
Coleman
graduate,
was pronounced dead at the scene,
while Wright suffered serious, but non-life-threatening
injuries. According to the
complaint, the driver of the
truck suffered minor injuries

and was transported, along
with Wright, to Janesvilles
Mercy Hospital.
A male passenger in the
Tacoma was uninjured,
according to the sheriffs
department. The Rock
County Medical examiner
said the further testing was
pending, but confirmed that
Coleman died as a result
of injuries sustained in the
crash.
A visitation will be held
from 3-7 p.m. on Friday,
March 11, at Cress Funeral
Home, 206 W. Prospect St.
Emerald ash borer confirmed in Stoughton

Weeks after an ash tree-killing beetle
was confirmed in nearby McFarland,
Stoughton announced the inevitable Tuesday.
A city news release said emerald ash
borer, which has spread across Dane County over the last year and a half, was confirmed in a tree on the northwest side of
the city.
City arborist Randy Nelson discovered
the tree, according to the release, and it was

confirmed by an employee with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
City crews removed three trees in the
area immediately.
Nelson previously told the Hub he and
city officials expected to find EAB in the
city sometime soon, given its presence in
many surrounding communities.

The public will get a say on the formal layout of

Kettle Park Wests second, more residential-focused
phase at this Mondays particularly packed Planning
Commission meeting.
Forward Development Group, the company facilitating the KPW development, has been appearing at
the last few meetings with more and more hints as to
whats to come for the 80-acre development. With the
final plat and zoning requests, the public will get a
more specific idea of what they hope to do.
Developers have tentatively presented long-term
plans at previous meetings for the space north of the
forthcoming Wal-Mart Supercenter, including multitenant senior housing units, single-family lots and a
hotel.
City planning and development director Rodney
Scheel told the Hub DNR wetlands protection plans for
the site are already approved and that ongoing wetland
restoration plans coordinated between the developer
and the DNR likely would not stop or change development schedules.
Deaks, flood insurance measure

Deaks Pub and Grill off U.S. Hwy. 51 is looking to
expand, including the addition of an outdoor seating
area, according to a conditional use permit also being
considered on Monday.
Scheel did not have dimensions for the renovation
immediately available, but he indicated it includes
both indoor and outdoor expansion.
In addition to the expansion, the commission must
also consider an update to its floodplain zoning as part
of a requirement by the DNR.
The community will have the opportunity to speak
on these issues at the Planning Commissions next
meeting, beginning 7 p.m. Monday, March 14, in the

District 2 needs Tass Johnson

Since becoming acquainted
with Tass, we have been very
impressed with the range and
depth of both her experience and
thinking.
When she decided to become
a candidate, she knew that her
training in land use, urban planning and conservation would
benefit Stoughton as we move
forward to a sustainable future.
She has had business training and
experience valuable in understanding the operation of a city.
Tass is committed to bringing
more transparency to our city
government so that we voters
are not surprised by decisions on
which we have not been able to
offer input. She understands and
appreciates the rich history and
unique culture of our community.

Strong features of that history
need to be supported to maintain
the fabric that is unique to the
Stoughton area.
Tass is personable. She wants
to hear from her constituents and
have dialogue on the future of
our city.
Please join us in supporting
Tass Johnson by voting for her
on April 5. She offers a necessary
and positive change for us.

Revolutionary health
plan is what we need
T
he recent Democratic
debates have not presented
the best opportunity
for either Sanders or Clinton
when it comes to explaining
their competing health
care plans for
America.
Bernies plan
basically is the
Medicare for
All bill, supported by progressives for
Davis
years in our
Congress. This
plan would revolutionize healthcare into a single-payer system
in the United States. The federal government would tax individuals and employers, and with
these taxes, pay all the health
care bills for every man, woman
and child in America.
In a recent poll, 51 percent of
Americans support the idea of
a single-payer system, while 37
percent oppose it.
Clintons plan is basically
trying to improve on Obamas
Affordable Care Act by charging
additional taxes to pay for incremental changes and expansion of
that system. Basically, Clinton
would keep the present broken
healthcare system of insurance
companies, drug companies and
for-profit and nonprofit hospitals
in control.
The single-payer, Medicare
for all has gotten nowhere in
the past because of continued
campaign finance corruption,
whereby healthcare special interests dump bags of money into
the political campaigns of politicians supporting the status quo.
Clinton repeatedly asked
Sanders: Where does the money
come from? How much does it
cost? Will it raise taxes? And,
of course, she states her plan is
superior to Sanders.
Sanders plan, including additional taxes, is on his
website, hiding in plain sight
at berniesanders.com/issues/
medicare-for-all. Its a few pages long, and I am sure Clintons

staff has studied it well.
Under his plan, all Americans
would receive complete health
care, including prescriptions,
dental, mental health and longterm care. They would have no
more copays, no more deductibles and no more arguments
with insurance company clerks.
Present total healthcare cost
is estimated at about $3.2 trillion per year for about 323 million people in the U.S., or about
$10,000 a year per person.
The proposed Medicare for
All system cost is estimated to
cost about $1.4 trillion per year,
likely with additional startup
costs. All present government
revenue presently spent on
healthcare would be placed into
the Medicare for All account.
The following new taxes
would be added and placed into
the same federal account:
6.2 percent income-based
health care tax by employers:
estimated revenue $630 billion
per year
2.2 percent income-based
tax on households: estimated
revenue $210 billion per year
For the first one, a person
earning $50,000 annually would
incur a $3,100 annual payment
from employers, saving an average of $9,500 per employee per
year (On average, an employer
today pays $12,600 annually for
family health insurance.)
For the second, per Sanders,
an average family of four, after
taking the standard deductions,
would pay $466 per year, saving more than $5,800 annually.
(Presently, a family pays about
$5,000 in premiums, plus about
$1,300 in deductibles.)
How can both the employer
and the worker save substantially each year, and still have
quality health care? Because the
high-money earners (both salary and unearned income) and
the wealthiest Americans will
pay higher taxes, and various tax
breaks related to company health

care spending would be eliminated.
The rest of the revenue from
Sanders plan:
An increase in marginal
income tax rates, with an estimated revenue of $110 billion
per year.
Tax unearned income (capital gains and dividends) the
same as income from work, with
an estimated revenue of $92 billion per year.
Limit tax deductions for
families making over $250,000
per year: an estimated revenue
of $15 billion per year.
A new tax system on the
estates of the wealthiest 0.3 percent of Americans, with estates
worth over $3.5 million: an estimated revenue of $21 billion per
year.
Accumulate savings from
several tax breaks that subsidize health care: an estimated
revenue of $310 billion per year.
Combined, these factors would
generate total additional federal revenues per year equal to
approximately $1.4 trillion.
Sanders Medicare for All
single-payer healthcare plan is
a healthcare plan thats smart
for kids, working families and
seniors. Its smart for American
corporations facing an unlevel playing field in developed
nations that already have single
payer healthcare for their workers.

Correction
A story in the Feb. 25 issue of the Hub about an energy grant for Stoughton Trailers included a photo of
a welding handle that was misidentified. The handle is not part of the RoboVent equipment. The mistake
was due to a miscommunication while the reporter toured the facility. The Hub regrets the error.

Sunday hours change working for library

Years ago, the Stoughton Public Library was open on
Sundays, and if results from a recent test run means anything, it may be once again soon.
Since January, the library has kept Sunday hours from
1-5 p.m., something that will continue through May 22 as
library officials gauge interest in permanent Sunday hours.
So far, it looks like people like the new arrangement and are
increasingly coming to the library on Sunday afternoons.
In an email to the Hub last week, Stoughton Public
Library Board of Trustees President Linda Schaefer said
while the board had considered the change for the past few
years, the recently completed renovation to the librarys
second floor made for perfect timing.
This seemed like the natural next step, she said. Were
excited the public is enjoying being here on Sundays and
hope to receive funding to be able to continue being open
on Sundays when school resumes in fall.
Library director Richard MacDonald said overall public reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. In polling other Dane County libraries, he said about half of them
offer Sunday hours, and was pleased to learn that day tends
to be the busiest of the week for most libraries. MacDonald
said he learned that Stoughton residents would go to another library such as McFarland when the Stoughton Library
was closed.
In an email to the Hub on Tuesday, MacDonald said there
are still a number of variables library officials need to consider before they can figure a specific cost of permanently
establishing Sunday hours.
Once weve completed this pilot program then we will
know more about the costs, he said.
MacDonald added that the library would only be
open on Sundays during the school year (minus any
holiday Sundays), and could be staffed either by limited

term employees or regular staff members. Currently, the
library is generally staffed on Sundays by two LTEs and
one regular staff member. If that continues, the added cost
would be around $12,000 per year, he said it would be
closer to $16,000 if the library had to hire more permanent
staff.
More flexibility
Last Sunday, 209 people visited the library during the
four hours it was open, according to a press release from
the library board, including Lisa Resch, who said she was
happy to be able to bring her daughter to the library on a
Sunday since she works on Saturday.
Another mom, Katie Holt said, Its so nice having the
flexibility to come when we want. Phil Hindman, a dad
with two kids who recently moved to the area, said we
missed not being able to come to the library on Sundays.
Whether the library is able to stay open on Sundays this
fall depends on funding from the city, MacDonald said,
which means competing for limited dollars. Schaefer,
noting that the city funds many important services, said
library officials hope that through the program, they have
demonstrated community support for the additional library
funding.
MacDonald encouraged residents to show their support
for Sunday hours by calling their local alders and sharing
their experiences at the library.

He looks up to his
music teacher, Paul Otteson, who has encouraged
him from a very young age
that it is OK for boys to
have an interest in the area
of music/drama/arts, his
mother said in an email to
the Hub.
He has been involved in
the Stoughton Center for
the Performing Arts, where
he played Tiny Tim in A
Christmas Carol in 2014,
and he was a mouse in

Nutcracker in 2015.
Hartbergs favorite part
of performing is being
onstage and seeing the happy audience. He feels very
honored and proud that he
was chosen to be part of
The Lollipop Guild in The
Wizard of Oz.
He is hopeful he will
get to be part of additional
performances and one day
would really like to be in a
movie, Rasmussen said.

Skrepenski, the daughter
of Ken and Meghan Skrepenski, is making her theater performance debut as
a munchkin in the Land of
Oz.
She has played roles such
as Mary in the Christmas
play at her private school
in Madison, where she has
also performed in talent
shows and solos in choir.
Grace has always
enjoyed performing for
family and has always had
a great memory for new
songs or quoting movies,
her mother said in an email

see people smile.
Skrepenski looks forward
to doing more acting and

Philosophers and theologians have often argued that creation is ongoing,

that it was not over and done with on the seventh day when God rested, but
that the creation continues to unfold with every passing day. For a being
who is eternal, who existed from the beginning, as it were, and foresees the
endif there even is an ultimate beginning and end, which is a very human
way of looking at thingsall of creation may be a single event. But from
our earthly perspective, where time is relevant, we are clearly in the midst
of an ongoing creation and development of the world. We contribute to this
development in our own small way. Humans can divert rivers and build
dams, or raise mountains and fill valleys by moving earth from one place to
another. As in everything, we can take part in the ongoing creation for better or worse. We can indeed improve our world or make it worse. Ask yourself whose side you are on in the ongoing creation of the world. Are your
actions making things better or worse? God needs good workers to help
build up creation, so commit each day to making things better. Whether its
something really big, or something more modest, its always good to be on
the side of God and the angels.

Madison.
His parents were both
music teachers, and his
father was a UW-Madison
professor before taking a job
in California the year after
Jorgenson was born in 1956.
Jorgenson began learning to play instruments as
a young child and has mastered many: guitar, mandolin, mandocello, Dobro,
pedal steel guitar, piano,
upright bass, clarinet, bassoon and saxophone.
He was a founding a
member of the Desert Rose
Band in 1985, and won
the Academy of Country

in the 1990s. Jorgenson
has collaborated with Earl
Scruggs on a Grammynominated album and also
made music with Bonnie
Raitt, Luciano Pavarotti,
Bob Dylan, Bela Fleck, Sam
Bush and David Grisman,
among many others.
Jorgensons newly formed
bluegrass band reunites him
with fellow Desert Rose
bandmate Herb Pedersen.

Nashville singer-songwriter
and guitarist John Randall,
and Ricky Skaggs former bass player Mark Fain,
round out the group.
In a telephone interview,
Jorgenson said his bands
performance here would feature music from their newly
released album, which he
co-wrote with the famous
California-based songwriter
JD Souther.
Well be doing stuff
from the new album and a
few chestnuts too, he said
of his band. Its not really
standard bluegrass, but well
do a few traditional ones,

too.
He said the concert
would be a nice reflection
of material from some of
the writers whose songs he
recorded for the new album,
including Rodney Crowell,
Guy Clark and Chris Hillman, who also performed
with Jorgenson in the Desert
Rose Band.
I lean toward the folk
side of bluegrass because
I like the harmonies and
its
to be
melodies and the lyrical

content, he said. That was
one the main reasons I put
this band together because
I missed playing the mandolin and I missed singing harmonies with people.
Jorgenson said he recruited Pedersen to join his bluegrass band because hed
worked with him in several
formations over the years,
most notably in the Desert
Rose Band.
The pair first worked
together as members of the
late Dan Fogelbergs touring
band in 1985.
I was a fan of Herbs
before we met, Jorgenson
recalled. Id seen his name
on all my favorite albums.
Jorgenson said when he
decided to put together a
bluegrass band, he thought
of Pedersen right away as
his banjo player.
Herbs first love has
always been bluegrass, he
Okay

your starter home .
observed. He wasnt playing much banjo these days.

He does have his own bluegrass band, but he plays guitar in that band.
So I said, come on Herb,
lets break out the banjo.
He was nervous at first
and didnt know how well
he could still play it, but I
convinced him to try. Hes
well known for being a singer he is a great singer
but he also loves the banjo,
so he really appreciated the
opportunity to get back into
that world.
Jorgenson said hes
excited to perform at the
Opera House because hes
heard about it from so many
friends.
I cant wait, he said.
Ive heard so many good
things about it from a couple
of friends in Marty Stuarts
band, and it sounds like the
kind of intimate venue that I
really love to perform in.

Count This Penny returns to Stoughton Opera House on March 19

The folk duo Count This Penny
returns to the Opera House this
month, after having moved back
to their native Tennessee last
year following a five-year stint in
Madison.
Amanda and Allen Rigell first
performed at the Opera House in
May 2012, and then headlined
their own show in October 2013.
In an email interview, Amanda
said the couple enjoyed living in
Wisconsin but are happy to be
back in Knoxville, close to old
friends and family. The couple

took a break from performing
while they transitioned back to
life in Tennessee.
But, she added, Weve been
working on some new songs that
we started doing some scratch
recordings of in our living room
this winter. Hopefully well have
something to officially release at
some point this year.
Count This Pennys singing
and songwriting is strongly influenced by the couples upbringing
in east Tennessee and the regional Appalachian folk music they
heard growing up. They write
ballads
with beautifully melancholy
melodies
and plaintive lyrics

about loss, heartbreak and, occasionally, murder and suicide a
stark contrast to their upbeat
stage personas.
The Rigells knew each other
in high school in their hometown
of Oak Ridge, Tenn., near Knoxville. They both attended Emory
University in Atlanta, where
Amanda won first place in a singer-songwriter competition. They
started dating after learning they

shared a love of traditional music,
and married in 2006. They didnt
begin performing together, however, until 2009 not long before
they moved to Madison in 2010.
Just before the move they
recorded a five-song EP, Gone.
It was their first taste of success
as a duo, as the recording reached
No. 6 on the iTunes singer-songwriter chart.
Then in October 2012, just prior to an appearance on Garrison
Keillors A Prairie Home Companion, they released a ninesong CD, Pitchman, to rave
reviews.
Amanda said returning to
Knoxville has opened some new
doors for the couple, in part
because the area has tons and
tons of talented musicians across
genres.
There's music happening all

the time, and there are some
young bands here who have
amazing potential, she wrote.
Music is woven into the fabric
of daily life downtown, especially with a local radio station
like WDVX, which is recognized
across the country as a great roots
music station. Weve been lucky
to get to know some top caliber
musicians in town in a short time,
too, because on top of all that,
its a friendly place as well.
That said, Count This Penny
is looking forward to performing
at the Opera House this month
because of its warm ambience
and wonderful acoustics.
Were songwriters, you know,
so its nice to play where people can hear the words and the
music, she said. Thats a really
special venue.

Vikings win 23rd

claim first sectional
title since 1998

Senior Carrie Aide (right) and Payton Kahl celebrate following the Vikings 67-43 victory WIAA Division 2 sectional semifinal win
over Waunakee in Sun Prairie on Thursday. The Vikings also knocked off Union Grove 35-34 in overtime Saturday at Middleton High
School en route to the first state berth since 1998.
Senior Hannah Hobson and head coach Brad Pickett

share a hug following the Vikings 67-43 WIAA Division
2 sectional semifinal game.
Junior Marissa Robson battles Waunakee senior Jada Dayne

for a first half rebound Thursday.
It was going to take four

extra minutes Saturday if the
Stoughton High School girls
basketball team was going to
earn its first state berth since
1998, but there werent many
nerves at the time.
The Vikings and Union
Grove both top seeds from
their respective sides of the
sectional 3 bracket were
tied at 31 after regulation in
the WIAA Division 2 sectional final at Middleton High
School.
In overtime, it was junior
Payton Kahl who collected a
big rebound and was fouled
to seal a 35-34 win, earning
a trip to the Resch Center in
Green Bay.
I was just telling myself to
stay calm, Kahl said. With
all the adrenaline and everything going on, there werent
too many nerves at that time.
I just knew what I had to do to
finish the game.
The sectional title is only
the second in school history, and it was also the 23rd
straight win for Stoughton
(24-2 overall) after a 1-2 start.
It is an incredible feeling.
The excitement is so crazy.
Everyone is so excited, and
we just couldnt ask for a better season so far, Kahl said.
Besides Kahls rebounding, the overall team defense
was also a big reason why
Stoughton defeated Monroe
and Monona Grove for a third
time and got past Waunakee
and Union Grove en route to a
state berth.
Junior Aly Weum was one
of the catalysts. Head coach
Brad Pickett said Weums onthe-ball defense is some of the
best he has seen because of
her quickness.
And that was once again in
play last week in wins over
Waunakee and Union Grove.
We knew that our game
relies on defense, and what
we were doing on the offense
mattered but it all came down

to stops, Weum said. So
staying focused was knowing
that this is something that we
wanted for so long. We had to
be strong and just kept saying
to do it for each other.
Pickett talked with the girls
before practice Monday about
not being satisfied with just
going to state, despite how
great the accomplishment is.
And now the girls get to go
not only attempt to win the
first state tournament game
in school history but are also
looking to win the first state
title in school history.
The first opponent is
Onalaska (21-5) at 1:35 p.m.
Friday in the state semifinals.
When you get to this
point for any team, you have
to be doing something pretty
well. Onalaska knocked off a
very good Hortonville team
to get to state, Pickett said.
Onalaska shoots the ball
really well. They have a little
bit of length which I think we
match up well with because of
our length. I like our chances,
but I am sure the other three
teams who also werent
(at state) last year like their
chances too.
The winner of that game
will play the winner of Oak
Creek (23-3) and Mukwonago
(23-3) at 6:35 p.m. Saturday
in the D2 state final.
While Pickett acknowledged that there will probably
be some jitters in the first few
minutes, he said the girls have
been prepared for this stage
with what teams they have
played all year.
Stoughton beat Division 1
state qualifier Verona, Division 3 state qualifier Madison
Edgewood twice and Division
4 state qualifier Fall River this
season.
Our schedule was tough.
It wasnt easy by any means,
and hopefully that has helped
prepare us for this moment,
Pickett said.

The Stoughton High School

boys basketball team was
hoping to make a playoff run,
but the Vikings season was
cut short in the WIAA Division 2 regional semifinals in
a 41-33 loss to sixth-seeded
Mount Horeb.
The third-seeded and host
Vikings (14-9 overall) hadnt
scored under 40 points all season until Mount Horeb.
Head coach Luke Wainwright was unavailable for
comment by the Courier

Junior Troy Slaby and
senior Adam Krumholz led
the Vikings with 12 and 11

points, respectively. Senior
Tommy McGlynn added eight
points.
Senior Max Meylor

Stoughton 35, Union

Grove 34 (OT)
Saturdays sectional final
win over Union Grove was
much closer.
When the game went into
overtime, Weum and company werent going to get
lost in the moment, however.
Instead, they saw the overtime
as an opportunity.
Overtime is something
that benefits us because we
know that we have that extra
four minutes that it takes to
work and an extra four minutes to pull ahead and keep
doing what we are doing
while tiring other teams out,
Weum said.
Kahl finished with 11
points and four rebounds, but
none were bigger than her
game-clinching one at the end
of overtime.
We do a pretty good job
defensively, but you have to
finish the possession when
you play good teams. We
saw a very good team Saturday. You have to rebound the
ball, Pickett said. You cant
just stop the shot goes up
and now you are done. You
have to finish the possession,
and I think we do a pretty
good job rebounding as far as
that goes.
And despite the rest of the
offense not having the best
day, the girls were able to do
just enough to get past Union
Grove. Hobson finished with
seven points and six rebounds.
Halverson had six points and
eight rebounds, and Robson
collected six points.
Kahl said the Vikings are
so strong because any girl can
step in on a given night.
Everyone contributes all
the time and it doesnt matter if one person is having an
off night because that means
someone else will step up,
Kahl said. We all help each
other out, and we are always
there for each other.

It was another state finals appearance

for the Stoughton High School wrestling
team and Kaukauna was once again the
opponent Saturday in the WIAA Division 1 state finals at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison Fieldhouse.
Unlike last years 20-point loss, however, the Vikings which last one a state
title in 1988 pushed the Galloping
Ghosts to the final match, falling 29-27
just one win or a few bonus points
away from a victory.
Getting to the finals and carrying a
trophy out of here is simply a great honor, so well take it home and put it in the
trophy case and it will be a little motivation to try and get the right trophy next
year, co-head coach Dan Spilde said.
One of the tough outcomes from
Saturday afternoon was the loss of the
coin flip, which started the match at
138 pounds and allowed Kaukauna to
wrestle up both senior Ty Lee and junior
Trent Leon to 126 and 132 pounds,
respectively.
Stoughton led 27-23 going into the
final two matches, but junior Tristan
Jenny (126) fell 9-3 to Ty Lee and freshman Cade Spilde lost 6-3 to Leon, giving Kaukauna the win.
We were hoping to win the coin toss
because they had to send first at 152, and
that was very likely going to get us an
extra win which obviously would have
come up big, co-head coach Dan Spilde
said. We had to score more points than
they did and we came up a couple short,
but I was really proud of our guys.
Regardless of the outcome however,
senior Collin Kraus said there was nothing to be disappointed about. Kraus
who defeated junior Jacob Canner in a
23-12 major decision at 145 pounds
finished his high school career with 208
wins, but it was his bond to his team that
shaped his time at SHS.
I m so happy with this team. I know
people are disappointed, but I dont think
anyone has come this close to Kaukauna
in like three years, Kraus said. If anyone is sad that we lost, then they should
be proud of themselves for how close we
were just to beat them.
Sophomore Tyler Dow wrestled up
to 160, and he followed an 18-5 major
decision loss by junior Trevar Helland
to senior Drew Krepline with a pin over
junior Alec Hartman in 1 minute, 50 seconds giving the Vikings a 13-4 lead.
After senior Jacob Groleau lost an
11-3 major decision to junior Jonathan
Heilman at 195, sophomore Aodan Marshall picked up a huge win at 220.
Marshall trailed 3-0 in the third, but
he scored two points for a reversal and
three points for a near fall to eventually
pull out a 5-4 win over junior Mason
VanAsten.
But senior Erik Haried was pinned
in 57 seconds by sophomore Keaton
Kluever at heavyweight, giving
Kaukauna a 23-16 lead.
Stoughton came back to grab the lead
after freshman Hunter Lewis (106) won
an 18-9 major decision over freshman
John Diener and junior Brandon Klein
(113) won a 12-1 major decision over
freshman Brandon Micksch.

down 15-0, and he picked up the first
with with a decision over junior Konnor
McNeal. The Vikings went on to win
30-25 to clinch a spot in the state final.
In both duals, Haried was one of the
catalysts, and he was the only Viking
after 160 pounds to win twice.
We all know how hard we work in
practice, and I think it is really starting to
show in our last couple of duals, Haried
said. I am really proud of our guys.
Stoughton 30, Sauk Prairie 25

Senior heavyweight Erik Haried goes for a
pin over Kenosha Bradford/Reuthers Jesus
Vega Jr. in the WIAA Division 1 team state
quarterfinals Friday. Haried pinned Vegas
Jr. in 3 minutes, 30 seconds and later
defeated Sauk Prairies Konnor McNeal in
the state semifinals.
Junior Kaleb Louis then faced sophomore Jacob Schramm at 120 pounds, a
match where Louis continually went for
a pin. Louis was unable to get the bonus
points, but he did win 7-5 to put Stoughton up 27-23.
Junior Garrett Model started the
match off at 138 pounds and won a 2-0
decision over sophomore Zach Lee.
We had a lot of guys show up
and a lot of guys that just came in and
improved from the last time they wrestled just to get us to these finals, Kraus
said. I think we have been improving,
so I am proud of that.
Seniors Tommy Tobias, Key Cook,
Sam Michel, Brady Anderson, Joe Jensen, Kraus, Austin Sobojinski, Haried
and Jacob Groleau all graduate from this
team with Kraus, Groleau, Haried and
Sobojinski leaving spots open on the
starting varsity lineup for next year.
This has been a special team. It is
going to be really hard to watch these
seniors go, Dan Spilde said. It is a
team that hung together and worked
together in the offseason. They have
done all the little things right, and that is
why it is hard to watch them walk away
with a silver because I think if you are
looking strictly at work ethic I think they
earned a gold.
Despite the holes the seniors leave for
next year, there is a huge core coming
back, including starters Lewis, Klein,
Louis, Jenny, Cade Spilde, Model, Dow,
Helland, Pasold and Marshall.
A lot of teams wish they had as many
guys coming back as we do, so we just
have to find a way to capitalize on that,
Dan Spilde said.
Day 1
Haried roared, Lets go, Friday evening after pinning state qualifier Jesus
Vegas Jr. at heavyweight in the D1
team state quarterfinals against Kenosha
Bradford/Reuther at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison Fieldhouse.
The Stoughton High School wrestling
team went on to win every other match
to beat Kenosha 56-18.
Haried then came up in the semifinals
against Sauk Prairie with the Vikings
Against Sauk in the semifinals, junior

Kaleb Louis pinned sophomore Gavin
Lankey in 3 minutes, 40 seconds at 120
pounds, giving Stoughton a 16-15 lead.
Jenny (126) followed with a pin over
junior Tommy Lehman in 1:15 to make
it 22-15 Vikings.
At 132 pounds, despite being on his
back a few times, Cade Spilde held off
a pin, falling 11-6 to senior Aaron Hankins.
Then, Model (138) fought back from
an 8-2 deficit with four takedowns in the
third period against junior Drew Fjoser.
Model was close to a fifth, but time ran
out, and he fell 12-10.
Despite those two losses, the lack of
bonus points for the Eagles kept Stoughton ahead 22-21. Kraus then won a 22-7
technical fall over freshman Bryant
Schaaf at 145 pounds, and Dow closed
the match with an 8-2 decision over
senior Luke Vils at 160 pounds.
Dow wrestled up, while Helland took
Dows spot at 152. Helland lost to senior
Eddie Smith in a 14-2 major decision.
Lewis (106) added a 15-7 major decision over sophomore Zeke Smith, while
Klein (113) defeated sophomore Dylan
Herbrand 5-0.
Stoughton 56, Bradford 18

In the quarterfinals, the Vikings lost
the first three matches by pinfall to fall
behind 18-0, but they rattled off 11
straight wins to move past Kenosha
Bradford/Reuther.
Besides Harieds pin at heavyweight
in 3:30 over Vega Jr., Groleau (195)
defeated senior Hunter Anderson 10-3,
and Marshall (220) pinned sophomore
Gabe Aguilar in 1:43.
Lewis (106) followed Haried with a
pin over freshman Collin Widmar in 1
minute, while Klein (113) won a 15-0
technical fall over sophomore Joey
Moore.
Louis (120) added a 13-1 major decision over senior Tyler Hansen, and Jenny (126) pinned junior Romeo Sullivan
in 2:50.
At 132, Cade Spilde took on state
qualifier Marco Infusino, and a reversal and a 3-point near fall at the end of
the first period helped Spilde pull off an
11-8 win.
Model (138) followed with a 16-0
technical fall over freshman state qualifier Jake Deates, and Kraus (145) pinned
sophomore Michael Thomey in 2:29.
Dow (152) finished the match with a pin
over freshman Logan Ramos in 2:11.

Stoughton citizens can nominate the Stoughton Volunteer of the Year and Stoughton Business Person of
the Year for recognition during National Volunteer
Week next month.
The city is accepting nominations for both contests
until Friday, March 25.
Recipients will be chosen by Mayor Donna Olson and
city staff based upon information regarding their contributions to the community included in their nomination
letter, according to a release from the city.
Whether prospective nominees lend a hand in schools,
the senior center, area churches, the library, food pantries, the youth center or other parts of Stoughton, city
officials are seeking input from the community to highlight the 15th annual Volunteer of the Year.
That volunteer, as well as the Business Person of
the Year and a Stoughton Friend of Youth, will be

recognized during a reception during National Volunteer Week (April 10-16) from 3-4 p.m. Tuesday, April

upcoming benefit or event.

managed on-site to make sure that the cleanup continues to
protect people and the environment. This is the fifth five-year
review of this site.
EPAs cleanup of contaminated soil consisted of consolidating
three waste disposal areas into one, capping the consolidated
waste and installing and operating a pump-and-treat system.
A separate plan for contaminated groundwater consisted of
installing and operating an in place soil vapor extraction
system.
More information is available at the Stoughton Public Library,
304S. Fourth St.; Dunkirk Town Hall, 654 County Road N,
Stoughton; and at www.epa.gov/superfund/hagen-farm.
The review should be completed by August.
The five-year-review report is an opportunity for you to
tell EPA about site conditions and any concerns you have.

Heroin: One man died, another revived after being left in van after heroin overdoses
Josh (Strate) fell out pretty
fast, Staff allegedly told investigators.
Beloungy and Staff tried to
move the passed-out Strate, then
Beloungy started leaning over
really hard,
prompting Staff
to drive the two to
a rural residential
development in the
Town of Pleasant
springs and leaving.
Police originally Jenkins
found Beloungy
and Strate in a
white van at the intersection of
Kong and Asleson roads outside of Stoughton, both passed
out, according to the criminal
complaint, with Strate showing

no signs of life. Beloungy allegedly told investigators he didnt
remember how the vehicle ended
up on Kong Road.
A syringe, containing what was
later tested positive by officers as
heroin was found in Beloungys
lap, according to the complaint.
He was revived with Narcan by
sheriffs deputies on the scene,
and transported to Meriter Hospital.
Police then set up a sting against
Jenkins, purchasing $80 worth of
heroin from the man in the same
manner as described in the complaint by Beloungy. Jenkins was
later arrested outside of the same
East Springs Drive hotel and
found with the money officers had
tagged for the purchase, according
to the complaint.
On what appears to be his Facebook page, Beloungy waxes poetic about his struggles with addiction to heroin. He tagged himself
at the Palm Partners Treatment
Center in Delray Beach, Florida, in November of 2013, only
months after graduating from
Stoughton High School.
Only days prior, he had written
a letter with the salutation Dear
heroin that ends Now I'm
doing good things I never imagined myself to do. And proudly I
can say I'm doing them without
you one day at a time. So this is
my farewell to you. Good bye heroin, forever.
Beloungy is being charged with
possession of narcotics, punishable with up to three-and-a-half
years in prison and a maximum
of $10,000 in fines. He has a
preliminary hearing on April 5.

In a 2010 Courier-Hub article, Staff was reported as having
notched wins for the Stoughton
JV wrestling team as a freshman.
Stoughton wrestling co-coach
Dan Spilde told the Hub that Staff
had signed up for wrestling the
next year, but never really got
involved.
Its unfortunate because being
involved in high school athletics
can sometimes help a person take
a little more healthy path, Spilde
said.
Staff currently faces 40 years in
prison and fines up to $100,000,
if convicted on charges of firstdegree reckless homicide. He also
faces charges of manufacturing or
delivering less than three grams of
heroin, and second-degree recklessly endangering safety, both
felonies. He is set for a status conference on March 14.

Beloungys last update on his
Facebook page was a captionless
picture of a roughly 6-month-old
baby wearing an I (love) Santa
onesie, posted May 20, 2015. Less
than two weeks later, Beloungy
was arrested for possession of
narcotics, for which he would
later plead guilty and receive three
years probation.
The life of an addict is a completely different life style as
every other person, its (sic) not
just something you do everyday,
Beloungy wrote from rehab in
November of 2013. If you never
experienced the pain of being an
addict, you have no room to talk
down on them because you will
never know what its (sic) like to
go through on a daily basis.

Lessons in love
Stoughton High School Performing
Arts transported audiences to 19thcentury England and into the mix of
a very complicated love story during its run of Pride and Prejudice
last weekend. Romance ultimately
triumphs, but plenty of drama and
dancing takes center stage first in the
adaptation of the classic story.
Above, left, Mr. Darcy (Gabe Ross)
makes an imposing figure in an opening act from the play, but his softer
qualities are soon revealed.
Above, right, the younger Bennet sisters welcome Jane (Mallory Giesen,
left) and Elizabeth (Thu McKenzie, center) home from their travels.
Photos by Kate Newton
On the web
Above, the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane (Mallory Giesen) and the charming Charles Bingley

Lead: Elevated levels of lead forced water shut-off at school for six months
contribute to lead contamination. He said the city generally has replaced pipes
at a rate of about 1,200 to
2,400 feet per year but will
replace around 3,500 feet
this year.
In addition to the pipe
replacement which
include smaller service
pipes that feed individual
homes Kardaz said the
citys naturally hard water
and routine flushing helps
ensure any possible lead
does not dissolve into the
water.
In recognition of leads
high toxicity, in 2012 the
Centers for Disease Control
cut in half the amount at
which a childs blood lead
level requires reporting and
possible intervention, from
10 micrograms per deciliter to 5. But the nations
standard for lead in public
drinking water has not been
updated since 1991, when
the Environmental Protection Agencys Lead and
Copper Rule took effect.
The federal law aims to
keep lead levels in water
below 15 ppb, while standards for lead in Canada

and the European Union
match the World Health
Organizations guideline of
10 parts per billion (ppb).
Routine tests by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources of Stoughtons water system show
the highest concentrations
at 9.3, within both the EPA
and World Health Organization standards.
We work with the
Department of Natural
Resources, and they want
us to work with sites in the
city that would be most vulnerable to lead contaminations sites we know have
lead laterals, Kardasz told
the Hub.
Testing to continue
The Wisconsin DNR has
oversight over public water
utilities, which must provide drinking water that
meets state and federal
health standards. Stoughton
will sample its water again
this year as part of a routine
compliance testing, Kardaz
said.
How to minimize lead threats

The threat of lead contamination often comes from
within older homes, where aging fixtures threaten to
leach lead into water long after it has passed through
the city system. For people worried about the prospect
of lead in their water a particular concern for infants
drinking formula there are a few steps that can be taken to lessen the threat of drinking water contamination
Use only cold water for drinking, cooking
Run the faucet for approximately 30 seconds before
collecting water
Replace aging pipes with copper or PVC (plastic)
Install an on-tap filter, certified by the NSF for lead
removal
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
has oversight of public
water utilities, which must
provide drinking water that
meets state and federal
health standards.
But public water utilities
are only required to take
action if more than 10 percent of household tap water
samples test higher than the
maximum. No remediation
is required for even exceedingly high readings if the
10 percent threshold is not
met.
In Wisconsin, 725 tap
water samples, or 3.5 percent of almost 21,000
household samples tested
between January 2010 and
April 2015, exceeded 15
ppb, according to a DNR
database analyzed by the
Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism.
This suggests that some
adno=456033-01
6,200 Wisconsin households may be drinking public water that exceeds the
federal standard.
Some of the areas with
the highest number of sites
testing above the maximum
allowed levels were Lake
Mills (20 percent of those
sampled), Columbus (18
percent) and Mount Horeb
(16 percent), according to
WCIJ analysis.
Of the states nearly
21,000 recent test results,
202 exceeded 50 ppb, more
than three times the federal standard. The states
highest value was recorded
in 2012 in Mount Horeb:
9,370 ppb.
