Stoughtons Brandon DeLacy, 18, has raced at tracks for four years. Hes winning the Bandits Division at Madison
International Speedway in Oregon this summer.
Speed Racer
Stoughton driver, 18, enjoying his time on Oregon track

TOM ALESIA
Inside
Friday nights opening ceremony at

Madison International Speedway in
Oregon began with a prayer for driver
safety. Then a 10-year-old Orfordville
girl sang The Star Spangled Banner
with such precision and force that it
seemed to match the colorful race
cars eventual roar.
On the track, Stoughtons Brandon DeLacy stood alongside the car
he built with his father, Curt, in their
family garage. It was designed for
speed and protection. Theres one
seat with five harnesses, no dashboard
and bars made to withstand concrete
walls.
A typical street car in a crash would
have its front end pushed back to the
windshield. This cars front wouldnt
move an inch in the same wreck.
Even with a triple-digit heat index,
DeLacy a veteran racer at age 18
savors this moment. He lives to race.
Winning matters to a point.
After the young singer sent the
National Anthems final note soaring
to the sky, DeLacy prepared for short
pre-race dashes. Two hours later, he
covered himself entirely in fire retardant shoes, gloves, a one-piece jump
suit and helmet and climbed into the
car for his divisions 20-lap feature
race.
Safety first in racings

In the pit area as race time neared,
he waited to enter the lighted track.
My hearts pounding and Im gripping the steering wheel, he said. All
I think is, Lets go, lets go, lets
go.
Finding his groove

In Madison Speedways pits, Curt
DeLacy smiled broadly when he realized that this is Brandons 10th year
of racing.
They spend a lot of time together on
something they love.
When Brandon was younger, I
coached his baseball team. But theres
very little one-on-one interaction
compared to this, Curt said. You
work together as a team. Its not a
coach and a racer. Were a team.
DeLacy started racing go-karts
at age 8 in Brodheads Sugar River
Raceway, a mile-long track with 13
turns.
In the familys garage in rural
Stoughton near Utica, the only
Courier Hub
prominent photo is one of DeLacy

holding a small trophy from a thirdplace finish during his first year of
racing.
Theres now a 20-foot wide row of
larger trophies hanging in the garage,
but DeLacy pointed to that first small
trophy. He said it may be the most
meaningful award because it proved
he could race well.
I slept with the trophy, he said.
DeLacy spent five years racing at
the Brodhead track, always with his
dad helping. At 14, without a drivers
license or a learners permit, he met
the minimum age to race at Jefferson
Speedway after extensive education
and preparation from track officials.
I was shaking I was so nervous.
But I knew what to do to stay out of
everyones way, he said, remembering his first car race. Right away, in
the first two laps, I just fell in love
with it. It really pulled me in.
Car talk
Racing can be an expensive sport.
Thats what makes the Bandits series
at Madison Speedway appealing to
many young drivers. In this division,
they can race with relatively lowprice cars, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. The
money drivers and mechanics invest

City officials are in the

early stages of updating
Stoughtons Comprehensive Plan, the guiding document for the citys land
use and future growth.
Mayor Donna Olson
told the Hub the publics
participation in crafting
the plan will be vital in
order to have growth that
reflects the vision of citizens for the city.
To that end, the city
will ask residents to complete a survey of questions relating to the plan.
The city will also hold a
community workshop for

residents. Both the survey
and workshop could take
place in September, Olson
said.
The Planning Commission met July 19 to discuss how to approach the
plan with Mike Slavney,
a veteran municipal planner with Vandewalle and
Associates in Madison.
They and planning director Rodney Scheel will
be in charge of creating
a plan that looks 10 to 20
years into the future.
Stoughtons plan was
last updated in 2003,
making the city a couple
years late, Olson noted.

Ordinance: Proposal allows

special event exceptions
of the indoor area of the
adjoining business. In
other words, if the inside
capacity of a bar were 125
people, the amended ordinance would set the maximum capacity of the combined areas indoor and
outdoor also at 125.
In June, at Eugsters
request, the council
removed language from
the ordinance that prohibited issuing an outdoor-consumption permit
to any business with an
outdoor consumption area
greater than 50 percent of
its inside gross floor area.
Under the proposed
ordinance change, the
citys fire chief or building inspector would set the
capacity limit for outdoor
areas.
Police chief Greg Leck
explained that the ordinance amendment is
b e i n g d r ive n b y h ow
to regulate that outside
number, because weve
never had the request to
exceed any of the limitations previous to the Nauti
Norske.
He said capacity wasnt
an issue before because
the citys ordinance was
based on square footage
of an establishments interior gross-floor area not
the number of customers.
Because of that limit, he
said, they couldnt have
a big enough outside consumption area to accomm o d a t e a ny c o n c e r n s
about indoor capacity.
That changed because
t h e N a u t i N o r s ke h a s
requested an outdoor
capacity that was almost
the same size if not larger
than the interior capacity,
Leck explained.
Eugster reportedly was
unhappy about the proposed ordinance restriction. He declined to comment in an email exchange
with the Hub.
Committee chair
Michael Engelberger told
the Hub state law sets interior capacity limits based
on an establishments
square footage but outside
capacity limits arent set
by the state. He said the
Public Safety committee
felt there needed to be a
limit because of restroom
facilities and similar concerns.
Leck said the committee raised questions about
Proposed
ordinance
1. Outdoor consumption permit may
be granted by the
Common Council after
applications are reviewed by Public Safety
committee.
2. Would limit outdoor
consumption
hours to 10p.m. weeknights and 11p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
3. Permits expire
June 30 each year
along with the liquor
license.
4. Maximum capacity of the combined indoor and outdoor areas
would be set at capacity of the indoor area.
5. For special events,
permit holders may
apply to exceed maximum capacity.
6. Council may impose other restrictions
on a case-by-case basis.

several scenarios in which

the number of people
allowed to drink alcohol
at a businesss outside area
could be an issue.
If you were to have a
storm come in real quick,
where do all these people
go? If youre double the
indoor capacity, where do
you put everybody? Leck
explained. Thats where
their concerns lied more
than anything else.
The proposed ordinance
would allow permit holders to apply to exceed the
venues maximum capacity to accommodate a special event.
Engelberger said he
plans to challenge that part
of the recommended ordinance change:
Im going to speak
against it, because how
can you all of the sudden
say, Go ahead, you can
break capacity levels?

might resonate beyond
the average encounter with

is actually set in Stoughton,
and follows a Norwegian
couple faced with raising
their young children on the
eve of their long-awaited
retirement.
I really enjoy writing
Norwegian characters. The

historical books are really good for that, but as
Im writing contemporary
books I manage to weave
Norwegian (themes) in anyway, she said with a laugh.
Published earlier this

Her works have earned her
the Romantic Times Career

though, is more unpredictable. With The Second
Half, Snelling said the story started coming together
when she realized she was
seeing older people with
small children seemingly
everywhere she went.
I thought, oh my gosh,
this is an epidemic, she
added. When something
really grabs my attention, I
figure that theres a reason
for that.
She reached out to readers
on Facebook to see if they

would share their perspective on the topic, and soon
felt affected by the heartbreaking stories she
observed there and from
other grandparents shed
met. After settling on it as
the theme for her next book,
she started researching
locations that fit the type of
setting she prefers most

picked Stoughton on a recommendation from a friend
who lives in the area.
When she hasnt been
to the place shes writing
about, Snelling, who lives in
California, said she doesnt
try to capture the essence
of the location. Instead, she
tries to correspond with as

many locals to familiarize
herself. She chatted with
people from Stoughton
through social media and
picked their brains, studied maps of the streets and,
of course, infused aspects of
her own Norwegian background as she researched
and wrote The Second
Half.

We all know that self-praise stinks, or to quote Jesus, those who

exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves
will be exalted. (Matthew 23:12 NIV) This is an astute observation, and
one which has many applications to life. Jesus made this statement
while pointing out how religious leaders or teachers often desire to be
exalted by fancy titles and seats of honor. Little has changed in two
thousand years; people still like fancy titles and seats of honor (e.g.,
the corner office). Perhaps we are hard-wired to respond to hierarchies
and pecking orders, and we all know people who just cant stand it if
they arent the top dog. Jesus statement appears to be a recommendation to humble ourselves so that others will then exalt us, and in
the social realm, this frequently happenswe praise others precisely
because of their humility. But the more important lesson here concerns
the spiritual realm. In the kingdom of heaven, he who is least among
you will be the most exalted. Pope Francis is frequently praised for his
genuine humility, just as his namesake St. Francis was, earning him the
nickname il Poverello or the little poor man. There is no better example of this than that of God becoming man, and Jesuss greatest acts
were his acts which showed the most humility, for example when he
washed his disciples feet (John 13). So humble yourself, and genuinely
strive to put others first, seeing them as better than yourself.

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Stoughton High School incoming junior Tyler Dow is gearing

up for a run at a WIAA Division
1 state title after taking runner-up
his sophomore season.
That quest included a lot of
training and big tournaments
during the offseason, including
the Pan America Cadet Championships from July 1-3 in Lima,
Peru and the USA Wrestling Cadet
Nationals from July 18-22 in the
FargoDome in Fargo N.D.
One of the highlights for Dow
was taking the freestyle gold at
152 pounds (69 kilograms) in
Peru.
It was a really good experience
overall, Dow said. The wrestling
competition was good, and getting gold just made it such a better
trip.
Dow, who was representing the
United States in Peru, participated in both the freestyle and the
Greco-Roman tournaments. He
was invited after taking fourth in
Greco-Roman and seventh in freestyle in June during the UWW
Cadet and University Nationals in
Akron, Ohio.
Dow arrived in Peru and trained
for a day and a half and got right
into wrestling, not even having
time to check out the sights.
On July 1 in the Greco-Roman
bracket, he pinned Sandro Herrera
(Argentina) but lost to gold medalist Angel Parada (Venezuela) 2-0
and silver medalist Jesus Lopez
Nino (Mexico) 9-8.
Dow came back to wrestle in
the freestyle bracket on July 3 and
went 4-0, picking up three technical falls and a pin.
In the final, Dow pinned Sergio
Godoy Vite (Ecuador).

Stoughton High School junior Tyler Dow (second from left) receives his gold medal for the Pan America Cadet
Championships at 152 pounds (69 kilograms) on Sunday, July 3, in Lima, Peru. Dow, who was one of the USA
representatives, also took fifth in the Greco-Roman part of the event on Friday, July 1. Dow picked up three technical falls in the preliminaries and followed that up with a pin over Sergio Godoy Vite (Ecuador) in the finals.
(Columbia) 10-0 and Adam Scott
(Canada) 12-0 to make the championship.
A wrestling match is a wrestling match. You just do what you
do and see what happens, Dow
said. I knew I had a good shot
at winning gold after how I did
in my first match and then seeing
how everyone else wrestled in my
bracket and seeing their styles.
I thought I was wrestling really, really well, but as the tournament went on, I think I became an
even better wrestler.
Dows performances also helped
Team USA win the overall championship in both freestyle and
Greco-Roman in Peru.

Stoughton lead-off hitter Tanner Klitzke (16) celebrates scoring one of his three runs with teammates Dave
Hanson (35) and Erick Sperleon at Norse Park Sunday against McFarland. The Merchants won the game 6-5
to move into a second-place tie with the Muskies.
Stoughtons Steve Pennekamp

knocked in half of the Merchants
runs Sunday in a 6-5 win over
McFarland.
Still, holding a razor-thin lead
entering the top of the ninth inning
on a surprisingly humid day that
felt like 102 degrees, it was the
catchers play behind the plate
that helped the Merchants ice the
Muskies.
I think before they asked me to
catch, I think sixth grade was the
last time I had caught, Pennekamp
said. Its been a nice challenge.
McFarland threated to tie the
game in the top of the ninth following an Ian Smith infield single.
Smith then moved into scoring
position on a Kyle Bender sacrifice
bunt before Stoughton reliever Ben
Riffle closed the door.
Riffle got Dave Ellefson to

ground out to first baseman Scott
Nachreiner before he struck out
Nick Schreiber with Smith representing the game-tying run 90 feet
away at third base.
We wanted to just execute our
pitches, Pennekamp said. Having
a guy like Ben come on in relief
of Erick (Sperloen), who threw a
great game, was huge.
While McFarland pulled back to
6-5 on a wild pitch on Riffles second batter, Pennekamp said, You
dont want to eliminate a pitch
because youre afraid to throw it.
He wanted his fastball at the end
and he blew it right by him.
The win moved Stoughton and
McFarland into a second-place tie
at 8-6. Albion (11-3) meanwhile,

Dow: SHS junior adds

second- and third-place
finishes at nationals
Success at Nationals
Following up the success
overseas, Dow returned to
the United States to participate in the USA Wrestling
Cadet Nationals at 152
pounds.
Dow made the finals in
the Greco-Roman Nationals on July 18, finishing
runner-up to Washingtons
James Rogers in a 12-0
technical fall.
Dow won the previous
five matches, however. He
knocked off Jack Ervien
(Wash.) 16-13 and then
defeated Joshua Sawyer
(Ohio) in a 15-0 technical
fall.
Dow tied Matthew Ortiz
(Ill.) 6-6 but won the tiebreaker and then defeated
Caleb Wise (Okla.) 7-2.
The final win in the Greco-Roman bracket was a
10-0 technical fall over
Samuel Mora (Texas).
Dow followed that up
on July 22 with a thirdplace finish in the freestyle
bracket.
He made the quarterfinals of the championship
bracket but lost 9-1 to
Anthony Jackson (Minn.)
to fall into the consolation
bracket.
Dow got another chance
at Jackson, though, after
making the third-place
match by forfeit. Dow
defeated Jackson in a 12-2
technical fall to avenge his
previous loss and grab the
bronze medal.
Dow also defeated

an 11-0 technical fall, and
added an 11-0 technical
fall over Keegan Mulhill
(Mont.). Dow made the
quarterfinals with a 20-9
technical fall over Kevin
Kontos (Ohio).
I had a lot of close
matches and learned a
lot about how to keep my
composure throughout
a match when wrestling
higher-level opponents,
Dow said. When I come
back and wrestle in the
high school season, I think
that will help me when I
get into the tougher matches and the bigger matches
where maybe some people
get nervous.
Ready for the high

school season
Dow is done with tournaments until the varsity
season begins in December, but he is already bringing more back to the team.
Besides gaining more
technique and gaining
more confidence as an
individual, Dow said he
can also help the Vikings
as a team in the room by
sharing some of what he
learned.
It not only can help me,
but I think that once we
get back into the swing of
things for the high school
season, it can help my
teammates out, Dow said.

Association: Utica needs to win out to have a shot at playoffs

Southeast Section playoff game at 1p.m.
on Sunday, Aug. 14 at Albion Park.
Having long since locked up the Eastern Division with a 12-1 record, Fort
Atkinson throttled second-place Clinton
12-1.
Stoughton (8-6), McFarland (8-6) and
Utica (7-7) will battle over the next two
weekends for the second playoff spot
from the West Division. Whoever finishes third could also steal Clintons spot if
they end up with a better record than the
Orioles (8-6).
Third-place Uticas schedule doesnt
get any easier, traveling to McFarland at
1p.m. Sunday before hosting Stoughton
at 1p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6 at Utica Fest.
The visiting Tigers wasted no time
getting on the scoreboard on a steamy
Sunday afternoon at Utica Park as Adam
Gregory drove home Kris Agnew in
the first inning and Orens RBI double
scored Josh Eastman. Albion capped a
three-run first inning when Kyle Johnson ripped a single and Oren scored just
ahead of a tag at home plate on the throw
from Utica left fielder Max Gartzke.
After a Utica run in the third, Albion
scored four more in the fourth, highlighted by Aaron Laskowskis two-run.
Agnew followed at the plate and singled
to drive home Cameren Wileman as the
Tigers took a 7-1 lead when Eastmans
sacrifice fly scored Laskowski.
Oren picked up another RBI in the
sixth inning and after the bottom half of

the frame Zeimet handed it over to Taylor to finish off Utica and seal the division championship.
Taylor followed Zeimets six solid
innings with three no-hit innings of his
own, fanning two and earning a three-inning save.
Laskowski (2-for-3), Agnew (3-for5), Eastman (2-for-4), Oren (3-for-4),
and Johnson (3-for-5) combined to go
13-for-21 at the plate with nine RBIs.
Oren ripped three doubles on the day
and raised his batting average to .449 on
the season.
Dane Schultz took the loss, tossing six innings, while allowing eight
earned runs on 11 hits and three walks.
He struck out four. Christian Stokstad
allowed two more runs on four hits and
a walk. He struck out three.
Gartzke went 2-for-3 to lead the As at
the plate.

The Merchants took a 5-4

scoring position on a T.J.
DiPrizio sacrifice bunt and
later scored when Bender

Sperloen picked up the
win, giving up four earned
runs on six hits. He struck
out four.
We had Nick over there
ready to go, but the way we
were hurting for defensive
players, it was a good thing
we didnt have to use throw
him, Seffens said. Its
nice. Weve got the pitching
right now. As long as we
score runs and play defense
the way we normally play,
well be alright.
Stoughton committed two
errors, while McFarland
had three.
Schreiber took the loss
for McFarland, allowing
five earned runs on seven hits in six innings. He
walked three and struck out
five.
Stoughton catcher Steve
Pennekamp knocked in
three of the Merchants six
runs, plating two runs with
a two-run single in the first
inning and a sac fly in the
third.
McFarland answered with
four runs to take a 4-2 lead
in the top of the third after
Schreiber and Pete Patten
each singled in two runs.
The Muskies lead was
short lived, however, as T.J.
DiPrizio led off the home
half of the inning with a

double to the right field

Obituaries
Robert L. (Jake) Jacobson, 92, of Stoughton,

entered his heavenly home
peacefully on July 18,
2016 at Sienna Meadows
Care Facility in Oregon.
Bob was born March 21,
1924 to Louis and Charlotte Jacobson in Edgerton, and graduated from
Stoughton High School in
1942 after which he enlisted in the army for the
WWII campaign. Following the war, he married his
wife, Stella Dalsoren, on
June 4, 1949.

William Bill Short

Kiss, age 80, passed away
peacefully at the Nazareth
Health and Rehabilitation
Center on Monday, July
4, 2016, with family at
his side. He had struggled
with Alzheimers for several years, but it was metastatic cancer and pneumonia that took him from us.
Bill was born in Wausau
on April 18, 1936 to William W. and Lucille (Murphy) Kiss. He was raised
in Wausau, spending many
summers in Spooner, and
graduated from Wausau
Senior High School in
1954. In March 1953, he
won first place in the state
Extemporaneous Speaking Competition in Eau
Claire, and was named a
state ultimate finalist in
the 1954 debate judging
in Madison. He began his
blasting crew. The blasting revealed a void in the

stone, and a narrow natural tunnel was found.
Young Bob, thin as a rail,
was the first to be sent in
to investigate, leading to
the discovery of Cave of
the Mounds.
After retirement, Bob
and Stella enjoyed their
winters in Ocala Florida for 19 years, and then
spent the rest of the time
at their home on County
Hwy. B. They later lived
at Vennevoll in Stoughton.
Bob was active throughout the years in the Lions
Club, VFW, the American
Legion, Stoughton Country Club, and Covenant
Lutheran Church.
The family would like
to offer a special thanks to
the Agrace Hospice team
and Sienna Meadows in
Oregon, and for all of their
excellent and compassionate care given to Bob.

40-plus years his voice
could be heard somewhere
on the radio dial.
Bill had a great love of
sports and began officiating at the age of 12. He
continued this passion
for the next 64 years. Bill
also enjoyed performing,
and met Peggy Kennedy during rehearsals for
Teahouse of the August
Moon. They were married in 1958, and had four
children together. Bill
rediscovered the theater
again later in life and participated in many local
theater groups. The role
of Christmas Past in
the Childrens Theater of
Madisons annual production of A Christmas Carol was a favorite.
He was extremely proud
of his time as a kicking
coach on the Green Bay
Packers staff of Vince
Lombardi, and he was
a l s o a n av i d C h i c a g o
Cubs fan. From the late
1970s to 1985, he was the
announcer for the Drums
on Parade competition,
which included the Madison Scouts Drum and
Bugle Corps.
W h e n n o t bu s y w i t h
work, sports or theater,
Bill loved floating in the
sun on Lake Kegonsa. He
had a great love of animals
and was fortunate to have
the opportunity to play
with tiger and bear cubs at
the Henry Vilas Zoo. Bill

is now with the many animals he loved that left this
world before him: Lady,
Teddy, Tina the tiger and
many others.
His grandchildren were
very special to Bill, and he
took great pride and interest in their lives. He will
forever be remembered
for Happy Meals and
horror movies on their
sick days from school.
He was always there when
they needed him. Bill also
loved flying around Wisconsin with Clyde Coff e e D ow n i n g ; a n n u a l
trips to see Cubs vs. Phillies games with Lenny,
Herb and Dave; and the
time he spent with Don
(Scrooge) Robinson.
Bill is survived by his

(Bonnie) Kiss and Laurie Kiss; the mother of
his children, Peggy Kiss;

A Memorial Mass will
be held at St. Ann Catholic Church, 323 N. Van
Buren St., Stoughton, at

30, followed by a luncheon at noon in Healy
Hall at the church. During
the luncheon we will pass
a microphone around, and
anyone who would like
share a special thought or
story will be encouraged
to do so. We look forward
to sharing memories and
hearing more.
We would like to thank
the staff at the Nazareth
Center for their wonderful
care, and Agrace HospiceCare for all of their help.
Bill truly embraced life
and the family asks that
in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Henry

lets us take a look at the city as
a whole, as well as those areas
currently outside our city borders, and ask where does it make
the most sense for growth and for
different kinds of growth? she
explained.

industrial growth would be in a
very different area (from where)
you would look for residential
growth. They dont make good
neighbors.
Olson said the commission
would meet Aug. 8 to continue
discussing approaches to updating the plan, including components of the community survey.
Our task is to come up with a
plan for the growth of the community, but its only a guide,
Olson said. If something comes
along that makes more sense than
what we thought today, then we
have to be open to that, too.
Common Council president
Tim Swadley told the Hub city
alders would like to know what
residents think of city services,
a question that he said will be
included in the survey.
Olson said Slavney advised
officials not to focus on any one
thing, such as redevelopment
or green space development, but
Parts of a Comprehensive Plan
to take a step back and look at

the whole picture, because if you
focus singularly, then thats all
youll accomplish.
This is all about asking questions, she said. The big question
I asked is, We know that there
are young folks that come to our
community to work every day. So
why dont they live here?
She hopes to find answers to
that and many other questions
over the course of the next nine to
12 months, the time she expects
it could take to complete a new
plan.
This isnt something that you
do quickly, Olson said.

Wisconsin DNR wetland invasive

species control project to eliminate populations of reed mannagrass (Glyceria
maxima), throughout southeast Wisconsin:
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will be conducting a
wetland invasive species control project
to eliminate populations of reed mannagrass (Glyceria maxima), throughout
southeast from Dane to Milwaukee counties and selected areas within Calumet,
Winnebago, Oneida, and Door counties.
Reed mannagrass is a wetland invasive
species that has limited distribution
within the United States and records
are limited to Massachusetts, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Washington state.This invasive species is
constrained to very wet conditions and
tends to be found in marshes, streams
and drainage ditches. This plant poses
a threat to Wisconsins dairy industry,
its wetlands and streams.This species
can be dangerous to cattle when consumed and has been linked to cyanide
poisoning of cattle in southern Australia,
Tasmania and New Zealand.It can render
flowing waters foul and make it unpalatable for cattle and impairs habitat for
UNITED CEREBRAL Palsy of Dane

fish.When large populations decompose

in streams, it can reduce the amount of
available dissolved oxygen, leading to localized fish kills.It can slow flowing waters, increase siltation, and be a potential
flooding hazard in low lying areas next to
streams.This plant does not represent
a direct and immediate threat to human
health and is non-toxic unless eaten.
The DNR is currently conducting
reconnaissance to find populations, map
the extent of its current spread, and is
soliciting help from affected landowners
who have this species on their property.
In 2016, the DNR plans to implement a
herbicide application to test the effectiveness of glyphosate and imazapyr on controlling this species. Prior to treatment,
the DNR is making available an environmental analysis, for public comment and
review.Herbicide application will occur
only on properties where the DNR has received written consent from the landowners, where all adjacent landowners have
been informed of the project.Any questions related to this issue may be directed to Jason E. Granberg at 607.267.9868
or Jason.Granberg@Wisconsin.Gov. To
view the environmental analysis, visit
DNR.wi.gov and search http://dnr.wi.gov/
topic/invasives/fact/pdfs/GlyceriaMaximaControlEA07012016.pdf. Comments
will be accepted until Monday August

Brandon DeLacy hangs some of his racing trophies in his familys garage. Hes raced for 10 years at area tracks.
Racing: DeLacy leads Bandits at Madison Speedway

in the cars usually tops the
vehicles initial price.
Brandon and his dad
spent $2,500 on Brandons
race car. Theyve invested
almost that much more
in parts and countless
amounts of sweat equity
on the car.
Theres always something little to do, DeLacy
said, but youre actually
doing a lot of it.
Between practice runs
late afternoon Friday at
Madison Speedway, the
D e L a cy s m a d e s l i g h t
changes to the car.
After almost four years
racing this car, Brandon said he knows what
makes it happy and what
doesnt.
For instance, he added, I like the rear to turn
slightly around the corners. This car likes to slide
around while the front

The Madison Speedway season runs until
September. DeLacy has
two feature race wins this

season. The prize money,
about $200 for a victory,
covers future expenses.
DeLacy entered Fridays race as the divisions
season points leader.
He finished third overall in the Bandits Division
last season and that makes
this seasons success a
bonus.
Am I proud of him?
Absolutely, Curt said.
But we have three rules
we go by: have fun, learn
something and improve.
Brandons been racing so long that his cars
number 19 was picked
when he was 8 years old.
(Cambridges) Matt
Kenseth was No. 17 at the
time and everybody wanted to be No. 17. My dad
said, Anything but 17,
Brandon recalled. The
No. 19 (NASCAR driver) had the M&M-sponsored car at the time. I was
young. I liked M&Ms. I
said, Ill be No. 19.
the draw, DeLacy landed

in the 13th position of 16
cars in the feature race last
Friday. He drives in the
Bandits Division, which
uses a relatively narrow
quarter-mile track. Still,
cars can reach up to 50
miles per hour with tight
turns and little wiggle
room.
Despite his racing experience, he has no sights set
on advancing it beyond a
hobby.
Instead, DeLacy, who
graduated from McFarland High School last
month, will enter Madison Colleges welding and
manufacturing program in
September. Given the fact
that hes welded much of
his race car, hell have a
substantial jump on some
of his classmates.
When the green flag
fell and started the race,
DeLacy began gauging
the other cars and finding openings for possible
passing. After three laps,
he moved into 11th place
Start to finish

Through bad luck of inches of each other.
With 15 laps remaining
last Friday, DeLacy made

his move, passing cars
as skillfully as if he were
reeling in a fish.
A couple thousand fans
noticed these moves. It
was thrilling to watch as
DeLacy went from ninth
to eighth to seventh to
sixth to fifth. With nine
laps remaining, he led the
pack. With three laps left,
he held a sizeable margin
until the checkered flag
waved and he won.
DeLacy pulled his car
into the victory area and
was handed the two-foot
tall trophy. The trackside
announcer interviewed
him over the loudspeaker
and DeLacy thanked his
dad, two sponsors and the
tracks ownership, which
worked tirelessly to prepare the track after heavy
rain the night before.

As long as Im having
fun, he said, thats pretty
much a win.

Safety first in racings danger zone

In his familys garage, Brandon DeLacy examined the
side of his race car. Theres a clear foot-long swipe across
his car number (19) from a bump during a race.
That was not painted on, he said with a smile.
The Stoughton driver knows the sports dangers. Thats
why this car is so important.
Racing is about as safe as it is dangerous, he said.
There are all these solid door bars. You have a full cage to
race in.
During a race at Jefferson Speedway when he was 16,
DeLacy experienced his worst crash. And he walked away
from it.
The car was in the air, he said. The whole back end
was almost at a 90 degree angle. I was basically doing a
headstand in this car.
I ended up facing the wrong way. I was in shock wondering, What happened? I saw (safety personnel) running
over. So I got out of my car. I had adrenaline pumping. I
was mad. I was sore.
When he looked at his race car a couple of days before
last Fridays race, he only saw the typical bumps.
All the scratches on here are brand new, he said. Its
part of racing.

your debt to income ratio (DTI). Most mortgage lenders use a rule called the 28/36 rule.
The 28 is the percentage of your max income that is allowed for housing expenses. Housing expenses include a formula called (PITI), short for Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance. The second number in the equation is 36. This is the percentage that lenders allow for
debt plus housing expenses. These are things like car payments, credit cards, child support
and other long term commitments that you need to budget for. Reducing your debt is the
name of the game when considering a new home purchase or refinance. Too much debt can
affect your buying options and you may not get the home you were hoping for. That being
said every situation is different and the world of mortgage has changed a lot over the years.
There are many different types of mortgage products and options for home buyers today.
