Mobile doc, a telemedicine device that looks

and acts something like a
robot, is now in service
at Stoughton Hospital. It
allows local patients to
be examined by a doctor
working from a remote
location.
T h e h o s p i t a l b eg a n
using the technology July
1, and patients have been
pleased with it, said Dr.
Graham Adsit, a general internist with Dean
Healthcare who works
part-time for Stoughton
Hospital.
Although he works for
the hospital, Adsit doesnt
have to commute from
his home near Milwaukee to Stoughton to serve

patients, and they dont
have to
go to him.
Instead, he
can conduct a complete physical exam
remotely
w i t h t h e Adsit
help of a
trained nurse.
Adsit said telemedicine
is nothing new; it started
out with the telephone.
But mobile doc is a stateof-the-art platform that
can help keep healthcare
dollars local, he said.
Its really changed the
paradigm from you having
to report to a doctor, to a
doctor being able to report
to you, with assistance,
Adsit explained.
He said hes worked

New season: Fresh faces

SHS grad campaigns for clean water and veteran performers

It has been clear to me that women are the

best catalysts for development.
Magen Krage, 2013 SHS grad
KATE MORTON
Hub correspondent
While many of us take easy access to

clean water for granted, not everyone
is so lucky. No one knows that better
than Stoughton High School class of
2013 graduate Magen
Krage.
N ow a s e n i o r a t
Tulane University in
New Orleans studying
economics and political science, Krage is
working with the organization Mama Maji as
a part of the schools Krage
service requirement for
graduation.
Mama Maji is an organization dedicated to providing clean water to those
in need while empowering women

through associated water projects.
Upon hearing about the group, Krage
said in an email to the Hub said it was
something she wanted to get involved
in.
A local woman in Homa Bay, Kenya, whom Krage identified as a strong
leader in her community is trying to
bring the first health clinic to the area
but needs clean water to do so.
Krage is raising money with the
hope of providing clean water for
11,000 people in and around Homa
Bay. Her campaign, which launched
July 19, has already exceeded its initial
goal of $500, so she has increased her
target amount to $1,000 and reached
out to other organizations for help.
Currently, 17 women in Homa Bay

being trained in water, sanitation and
business to support the well so that
they can continue to be effective leaders in the water project, Krage said.
It has been clear to me that women
are the best catalysts for development,
she said.
The women are paid to maintain
and supervise the well, and some of
the money may be used to start their
own small businesses. Krage said that
experience teaches them businesses
skills. It gives them power and a voice
in their communities.
In addition, having easy access to
clean water allows women to avoid

Stuff the Bus exceeds donation goal

$5,000 worth of
school supplies will
go to local students
KATE NEWTON
Members of the Stoughton Lions and Lioness clubs

surpassed $5,000 in donated school supplies during
the fourth annual Stuff The
Bus event, about $1,750
more than what was donated last year.
Coordinator Mike Niedfeldt said in an email to

the Hub Monday that the
increase indicated it was a
great year for the school
supply drive, which several volunteers held out of a
school bus in the Wal-Mart
parking lot Saturday. Collection containers were
placed at the Blackhawk
Community Credit Union
and McFarland State Bank
locations downtown and on
County Hwy. B in the days
before the drive, allowing people to drop off early donations that will be
distributed among schools

in the Stoughton Area
School District.
More than $900 of the
amount raised was in cash
donations, which enabled
the clubs to buy additional
school supplies to round
out those that were donated, including binders, notebooks, backpacks, writing
utensils and other essentials
for the school year.
This community has a
good group of people who
choose to live generously, Niedfeldt said of the
response to the fundraiser.
He added that both clubs

continue their recruiting
efforts for new members
who like to work on projects that make a positive
d i ff e r e n c e i n p e o p l e s
lives.

Stoughton Chamber of Commerce
Suess hired as events coordinator

SCOTT GIRARD
In January, Tricia Suess

took over for Laura Trotter in an interim capacity
as events coordinator at
the Stoughton Chamber of
Commerce.
On Tuesday, Trotter, now
the executive director, hired
Suess on a permanent basis.
In a chamber announcement sent out Tuesday
morning, Trotter praised
Suess work in planning

the Syttende Mai festival
the main
project in
her interim
role and
what she did
beyond that.
She has
brought new
e n e r g y t o Suess
the tourism
side of the position, too,
Trotter wrote.
Suess expressed an interest to the Hub months ago in
making the job permanent.
When hired for the interim
position, Suess, a Stoughton
resident for 16 years, was

plenty familiar with the
Syttende Mai festival she
had to help coordinate, as
shed booked bands for the
event in the past. Suess has
separately been involved
in a variety of city groups
and organizations, including serving on the Common
Council and Stoughton Public Library Board.
When Trotter left in February, it was for a job with
an outside company. Months
later, though, then-executive director Marilyn Housner left and Trotter returned
to fill that vacant position,
reuniting she and Suess after

they worked together during
the February transition.
Its going really well,
Suess said in the days following her interim hiring.
Ive always been interested
in event planning and project managing, and of course,
I love Stoughton, so I was
very excited with the prospect of being able to fill in
and help the chamber get the
festival going this year.

Fall primary
Incumbents Ozanne, Gallagher win county races

A pair of Dane County Democratic
incumbents won their primary elections
Aug. 9, among a small set of contested
races on Stoughton voters ballots.
Aside from the County District Attorney and County Treasurer contests,
other races on the ballot last Tuesday
included Wisconsin State Assembly
Dist. 43 and U.S. Senator. No Republican primaries were on the ballot in
Stoughton.
Incumbent DA Ismael Ozanne and
County Treasurer Adam Gallagher, who
emerged in a three-way race with 44
percent of the vote, will both run unopposed in November.

Don Vruwink, who defeated Anissa
Welch for the Democratic nomination
in Dist. 43, will face Republican Allison
Hetz in the general election. The seat,
which covers a small part of Stoughton
and surrounding areas in addition to
parts of Jefferson and Rock counties, is
being vacated by State Rep. Andy Jorgensen.
Vruwink defeated Welch by 78 votes,
485 to 407, representing a 9 percent
victory.
Town of Dunn voters also helped

elect Jimmy Anderson as the Democratic nominee for Assembly Dist. 47.
Anderson, of Fitchburg, defeated fellow
Fitchburg residents Tony Hartmann and
Julia Arata-Fratta.
Former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold
defeated Scott Harbach in the Democratic primary with 94 percent of the
vote. Feingold will face incumbent
Republican Ron Johnson in November.
The general election is Nov. 8.

Stoughton Utilities
Utility seeks approval

for west substation
KEVIN MURPHY
Hub Correspondent
Stoughton Utilities is seeking

state approval to construct a $2.77
million electrical substation to
serve a growing demand for power on the citys west side.
In 2009, SU bought about five
acres along McComb Road, south
of state Hwy. 138, anticipating
that growth would require a fourth
substation, said Robert Kardasz,
SUs director. That demand for
power has arrived.
Our three substations are
working adequately but the city
is growing, Kardasz said. People may not see it on a particular street, but our industries are
strong and increasing production. We serve 26 square miles,
we have 8,600 customers, in the
city and four townships, and we
see a lot of them and increasing
their services; farms, residential,
everybody.
T h e d e m a n d f o r p ow e r i s
increasing despite the introduction of many energy efficiency
products and programs aimed at
reducing consumption, Kardasz
said.
Plans for a fourth substation
date to the 1980s, according to the
construction application SU filed
with the Public Service Commission last week.
While substations built on
the north, east and south sides
of Stoughton are serving their
respective quadrants, the west
side includes some of the citys
largest industrial and commercial
customers, plus extending long
lines out to farming customers.
The north and south substations
are currently serving these western customers and have about 3
megawatts of capacity to do so.
Meanwhile, circuits in the center of the city have the smallest
capacity for growth and one is

operating almost at capacity,
according to the application.
Some circuits can be run at near
capacity because spare capacity
is available on the westernmost
looped line. This line also serves
as a backup circuit if there would
be a problem elsewhere in the
system. Since growth on the west
side must be added to this circuit,
its backup capacity would no longer be available, according to the
application.
The utilitys long-range plan
scheduled adding a west side substation in 2018 and if the approval process and construction goes
according to plan, the substation
and its added capacity can go into
service in late 2018, Kardasz said.
SUs substations take electric
power from the 69,000 kilovolt
transmission lines and step it
down to the 12,470 kilovolts SU
distributes on its circuits. The
substations are located so they
can tap into different transmission
lines to ensure a power source in
case there is trouble on a transmission line or two, Kardasz
explained.
The new substations cost
impact on customer should be
m o d e r a t e , w h i c h K a r d a s z
defined as a 5 percent or less rate
increase. There could even be no
increase in rates at all, he said,
based on SU adding other substations in the past without a sizable
rate increase.
Its premature to calculate the
projects cost on customer at this
time, he added.
The west side substation will be
built and landscaped to resemble
the north side substation on County Hwy. B near the railroad crossing, said Kardasz. There will be
overhead transmission lines coming to the new substation but lines
leaving it will be undergrounded.

A Stoughton man pleaded guilty Friday to a reckless homicide charge related to heroin he gave to a
man who overdosed and
died earlier this year.
Wyatt A. Staff, 20, testified at the
June trial
of the man
he bought
the heroin from,
according to the
Wiscons i n S t a t e Staff
Journal.
Staff faces up to 40 years
of combined prison and
ex t e n d e d s u p e r v i s i o n .
His sentencing hearing
is expected in a couple
months, according to the
State Journal.
Staff testified at the
June trial that he bought
heroin from Christopher
T. Jenkins, 36, at a Madison motel, then took it
to David Beloungy, 21,
a fellow Stoughton High
School graduate, and Joshua Strate, 32, who died,
according to the State
Journal.
Staff then drove the van
back to the Town of Pleasant Springs and left the
two men inside, according
to the criminal complaint.
Police later found the van
with the two passed out
passengers.
After his arrest, Staff
agreed to buy more heroin from Jenkins while
police supervised, according to the complaint. In a
plea agreement, charges
against Staff of manufacturing or delivering heroin
and second-degree recklessly endangering safety
were dropped.
Beloungy was sentenced
to two years of probation
earlier in August for possession of narcotic drugs
after he entered a guilty
plea.
Jenkins, who was convicted of first-degree reckless homicide, delivery of
heroin and second-degree
reckless endangerment,
has a sentencing hearing scheduled for Sept. 2,
according to online court
records.

OWI Task Force
Energy survey approaches

The city will request public participation
in a renewable energy survey within the
next several weeks, according to a Stoughton Utilities news release.
Randomly selected customers will receive
a postcard inviting them to take the survey, intended to encourage a conversation
between the utility staff and the community,
as well as help utility staff shape future program and service offerings to fit customers
needs and interests, the release said.
Any new offerings that result from the
survey will combine with Stoughton Utilities Green-e Energy certified Renewable
Energy and Green Power for Business programs, which allow residential and business
customers renewable energy to offset part
or all of their monthly energy usage.
The energy available for purchase
through the programs is sourced from wind,
biogas and solar resources.
The web survey only takes a few minutes to complete, and its a great way for us
to learn more about what kinds of programs
and services our customers want, Stoughton Utilities assistant director Brian Hoops
said in the release.
Increased enforcement
leads to 44 stops
The Capital Area OWI Task Force event in Stoughton
earlier this month included 44 stops by police on a Friday
night.
The stops led to three arrests for Operating While Intoxicated and a felony armed robbery suspect from Juneau
County being taken into custody, DeForest Lt. Daniel
Furseth, who leads the task force, said in an email.
The Aug. 5 overnight enforcement was split between
Stoughton and Oregon, and also included 12 citations for
open intoxicants, operating after revocation and other violations, Furseth said. There were 94 traffic stops between
the two communities in total.
Among the OWI arrests, Furseth noted one was a second offense in which the driver had a high blood alcohol
content of .16, double the legal limit of .08.
The task force is a state grant-funded program that uses
officers from more than a dozen departments in one community to provide a high-visibility presence.
Furseth has said in the past that the goal of the enforcements is more about awareness than arrests. He hopes it
will get people thinking so it prevents them from drinking
and driving.

Call before digging

Aug. 11 marked National 811 Day,
which aims to remind home and business
owners each year they should contact
their 8-1-1 call center before embarking
on any project that involves digging.
Stoughton Utilities reminded customers
in a news release last week that electrical,
communications, gas and water lines are
often buried within inches of the grounds
surface.
Getting a professional to help locate
and mark these lines with flags, spray
paint or both will help prevent injury,
unintended service disruptions, possible
repair costs and fines, the release said.
To contact the Wisconsin call center, call 8-1-1 or 1-800-242-8511 or visit
diggershotline.com to make an online
request 2-3 days before beginning work.
Time windows can vary from state to state.
Affected utility responders will respond to
your request and mark lines that might be
affected and should be avoided.

Hotel is a needed part of

Stoughton moving forward
he growth that is happening in Stoughton has

people talking, which is
good.
Its something I have been
hearing frequently at the
Stoughton Chamber of Commerce both in my four years
as the tourism and Syttende Mai
coordinator and in my more
recent role as the chambers
executive director. Ive also
heard it as a
resident of
Stoughton,
where my
husband Fred
and I moved in
1998.
The newest
issue has been
the hotel going
Trotter
into the Kettle Park West
development. Most people I
speak with are excited about the
proposed hotel, but I continue
to hear people or see posts on
social media that say, We dont
need another hotel in Stoughton.
I hear that as I dont need
another hotel in Stoughton. And
its probably true that you dont
need one. But Stoughton needs
this hotel.
We are fortunate to have
attractions, sports venues, businesses and events that support
our current hotels and will support a new one. Our existing
hotels fill a great need, and the
new hotel will be able to get
customers that the current ones
arent reaching.
In my tourism role with the
chamber, I attended the meeting where our major employers
sat with the independent hotel
marketing analyst when she was
determining if Stoughton can
support another hotel. It was
clear we could.
Every one of the businesses
there currently sends its traveling executives to Madison so
they can stay in a hotel with
the sort of amenities business

travelers expect. They provided
the analyst with concrete numbers of how frequently they use
hotels outside of Stoughton for
travelers and conference space.
When I attend tournaments
for my childrens sports, I ask
team managers where they are
staying, and they frequently tell
me their teams stay out of town
when playing in a Stoughton
tournament in order to have
more recreation available at the
hotel. The Chamber receives
many calls from businesses,
brides, party planners and homebased businesses looking for a
venue for their meeting or reception.
For me personally, my mother
has a physical disability that prevents her from staying overnight
in my house. Only one room
from among our current hotels
can accommodate her.
In order to guarantee that she
can spend Christmas morning
with us, she needs to book a year
in advance to secure the only
room that works for her needs.
I always wonder who else is
seeking that room for the same
purpose.
The hotel marketing analyst
said she speaks with many towns
that desperately want a hotel but
dont have the market forces to
support it. We do! Instead of harrumphing the change, we should
be celebrating our marketability.
Stoughton has many things that
make it marketable. We have successful businesses that provide
jobs that support households. Our
award-winning Stoughton Hospital is the only hospital in Dane
County outside of Madison.
Unlike many cities, our downtown continues to thrive and offer
unique shopping, dining and
entertainment, and we still have a
strong cultural heritage.
Students in the Stoughton
Area School District continue to
exceed the state average in academic achievement, post among
the best graduation rates in Dane

County and attract acclaim for
their work in the classroom,
community service, the arts and
athletics.
We have all heard the phrase,
If you arent moving forward,
youre going backward. This
is so true. To continue to have
this charming city which we all
enjoy, we must grow.
According to information provided by Vandewalle Associates
in the Stoughton comprehensive
plan update, the national trend of
smaller household size means we
need more housing just to maintain current school enrollment
and population.
The Nordic Ridge development, the new houses on the
north side of town and the KPW
Development all point to the fact
that we are a desirable place to
live, do business and play. The
developers behind those projects
know Stoughton is worth the
investment. We have what it takes
to remain a vibrant, full-service
city, not just a satellite of Madison.
The businesses we already
have here will benefit from this
growth, too. It will provide more
business opportunities, more
housing for employees, stronger
schools and more jobs for the
children of their employees. It
will provide more services provided right here in Stoughton,
and yes, competition, which is
also a good thing.
The Stoughton Chamber is in
favor growing our local business
base. We can do that through
both new business development
and the growth of existing local
businesses.
The chamber board and I welcome the opportunity to work
with any and all local businesses
to promote their business and the
greater Stoughton area.
Laura Trotter is the executive

What: Charity softball

Koehler
When: 8a.m. to 8p.m.
(or end of last game)

Coping with illness

Koehler, who has diabetes and battled leukemia
10 years ago, faced another
health scare last fall when
he noticed a lump in his
neck. It was throat cancer.
He had surgery on Nov.
3 to remove the tumors,
Karen said.
Larry had a CAT scan on
June 1, which came back
negative.
As of now, he is cancer
free, she said, but due to
his health, he is not planning on getting involved in
softball again.
He can walk around,
but hes legally blind, Karen said, explaining that the
chemotherapy and his diabetes caused him to lose his
vision.
Karen works alongside
Robb at WPS Health Solutions in Madison, where
she had to cut back to part
time to help care for Larry
and get him to all his medical appointments, Robb
explained.
Karen now dedicates her
time to helping him with
all of his needs, including
providing meals and making
sure that he does not choke
when coughing. She said
Larry has been tired lately,
and the humid weather has
been bothering him.
(Its) very painful in his
neck and jaw, she wrote in
an email to the Hub.
Since she is just working
part time, Karen said the
money from the fundraiser
will likely go toward paying
bills.
Larry and Karen are the
type of people who would
give the shirts off their
backs to anyone in need,
Robb wrote in an email

Until he was diagnosed

with throat cancer and
ended his involvement last
year, Larry Koehler was a
pillar of the Stoughton softball community.
He was especially so for
Tara Robb, who grew up
with Koehlers daughters
and played on the softball team he coached from
1999-2001.
Anyone who plays or
has played softball in (the)
Stoughton community
knows Larry, Robb wrote
in an email to the Hub.
Koehler had been
i nvo l ve d i n S t o u g h t o n
Youth Softball as a coach
for 15 years and a volunteer
even longer. For 19 years,
he frequently organized
weekend tournaments with
concessions for the girls
teams.
Robb, now 29, is following suit and planning a
charity softball tournament
to raise money for Koehler at Racetrack Park
on Saturday,
Aug. 20.
The fundraiser will
also include Koehler
baked goods
and T-shirts
for sale, concessions, a
50/50 drawing and a silent
auction.
Robb hopes the event will
bring in more than $1,500
for the family to spend as
they see fit.
This has been an undertaking to say the least,
and so many people have
stepped up to make it happen, Robb wrote.
More than a dozen local
businesses and people have
donated items for the silent
auction, and the Stoughton Parks and Recreation
Department will provide
use of the park for free that
day.
Koehler is humbled by
the effort so many people made to organize the
event. Reached by phone,
he used his wife, Karen, as
an interpreter because he
no longer has a voice box.
He expressed that he was
completely shocked and
honored.

Living in Harmony with Others

We all know at least one person who seems to get
along with everyone, the person who always has a smile
on his or her face and who never has a cross word for
everyone. What we should learn from them is that people are nicer the nicer you are to them. In other words,
kindness is contagious, and people act as mirrors for
other peoples emotions. Good public speakers know
that its easy to get a crowd riled up, or calmed down,
because we are emotional creatures who mirror the
emotions of those around us. Modern neuroscientists
have discovered that we have mirror neurons which
trigger emotional responses in ourselves after seeing
them in others. The practical import of this is that its
easy to improve our world by simply treating others with
loving kindness and trying to live in harmony with those
around us. When those around us are friendly and return
our kindness this is quite easy, but it becomes considerably more difficult when those around us are angry or
hostile, especially if they are attacking us. In that case we
have to make a conscious effort to overcome what our
brains and bodies are prompting us to do and to turn our
scowls into friendly grins.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not
curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those
who mourn. Live in harmony with one another.

Crowning a King
Chinese restaurant off Main Street enjoys warm welcome
TOM ALESIA
Stoughton added another restaurant to its popular Main Street dining

roster when China King opened early
last month on Division Street next to
Rev. Jims Saloon.
China Kings roomy facility with
elaborate wood tables and a nice
touch of subtle light pink painted
walls provides a comfortable decor.
But China Kings most defining
element is its chef and co-owner
Michael Ou. Workers at the restaurant rave about his talents and
20-plus years of cooking experience,
most of it in New York.
Still, China King provides a menu
full of Chinese food staples and a
typically large number of choices. It
takes orders at the counter for dine-in
or take-out selections.
Ou talked about the restaurant
through an interpreter. He said he
wanted to open his own restaurant
after working for others for many
years.
I have so many friends in the
Madison area with Chinese restaurants, Ou said.
That encouraged him to seek a

Spinners Pizza
marks first year
in Stoughton
Specialty pizzas key
to success
BILL LIVICK
A locally owned family business is going strong

after its first year in operation.
Manager Shannon Klein
said Spinners Pizza has
been doing a brisk business especially after owners Tim and Brenda Klein
(her parents) revamped the
menu and added more than
40 specialty pizzas.
We a d d e d o u r ow n
aspect with all these specialty pizzas, and weve
been overall really busy
ever since, the manager
said.
Some of the more unusual pizza toppings include
pulled pork, bratwurst,
Reuben ingredients and
spaghetti.
Klein said the restaurant, which opened Aug.
10 last year and has seating
for about 46, is busiest on
weekends. Itll be packed
during Monday night NFL
games as well, she said.
The pizzeria has a couple of flat-screen TVs that
are usually on and tuned to
sports events. During a visit last week, the televisions
were showing the Olympics.
The Kleins moved to
Stoughton from Brodhead
three years ago. Theyd run
a few Spinners Pizza restaurants before in Brodhead,
Edgerton and Evansville
but now are operating only
in Stoughton on the citys
west side.
The restaurant is not a
franchise, Klein said, and
her parents have trademarked the name.

The business has 17 parttime employees. Shannon
Klein is the only full-time
employee.
She said her parents are
looking for a new manager
because she is leaving the
area for school this fall.
She pointed out the obvious patriotic theme of the
restaurant and mentioned
that all military personnel
and veterans receive 15
percent off. Police, fire and
EMS personnel receive 10
percent off.
In addition to pizza, Spinners serves appetizers, ribs,
salads, oven-baked pasta
and sandwiches.
We have dessert pizzas
too, Shannon Klein said.
Theyve gone over well.
She noted the restaurant
does not serve alcohol, but
said her parents are considering applying for a liquor
license.
In addition to dining
room service, the business
delivers for a $2 charge
and accepts debit and credit cards but no personal
checks.

Serving notice of title aspirations
Vikings swing into

season with third place
finish at Dane County Inv.
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Stoughton girls tennis entered

this season as heavy favorites to
win its sectional and reach the
teams first WIAA state team tennis tournament after graduating
just two seniors.
The Vikings suffered a heavy
loss before practice started though,
losing No. 1 doubles player and
three-time state qualifier Payton
Kahl. Also a basketball and track
and field standout, Kahl blew out
her ACL during in AAU basketball
game and will miss all three sports
her senior season.
Though unable to play, Reischel
said Kahl is still going to be 100
percent invested and one of the
leaders on the team.
Weve built something good
here, and thats what I feel bad
about for her that she doesnt
get to taste the success this year
as a participant, he said. Shell
kind of live vicariously through her
teammates.
Though Stoughton loses Kahl,
the Vikings return her partner Kendra Halverson a two-time state
qualifier in her own right who
helped the tandem reach the second round last season. She starts
this season with Anna Nelson, who
spent last season playing at No. 2
singles.

three best doubles players in the

Returning letterwinners for the Stoughton girls tennis team (front, from left) are: Stacy Benoy, Paige Halverson,
Sarah Benoy, Anna Nelson and Ashley Fisher; (back) Kendra Halverson, Sydney Johnson, Marissa Robson, Payton Kahl and Bronwyn Ziemann.
Madison area, I still think we
shouldnt have any less expectations with our No. 1-2-3 doubles.
We have very skilled, athletic
girls, Reischel said. My heart
goes out to Payton for not being
able to play, but we have lot of girls
who have really invested a lot into
the program. Having depth is a
great thing and we have the attitude
that, Hey, its just my turn a little

earlier.
Sydney Johnson returns at No. 2
doubles after she and Holly Brickson reached the round of 16 last
year as first-time state qualifiers.
Though Brickson graduated following last season, the Vikings
expect to once again be tough at
the spot with Marissa Robson
moving up from No. 3 doubles.

Sydney should help solidify
the No. 2 doubles team and Marissa has been playing really well,
Reischel said.
Ashley Fisher and Paige Halverson, who played No. 4 singles last
year, start the season as the new
No. 3 doubles team for Stoughton.
Ashley played No. 1 JV doubles
last year and is very consistent,

Reischel said. Paige is very athletic and good around the net, she
just needs to work on being a little
more consistent. If it doesnt work
out, we always have that option to
move her back to a No. 2 or 3 singles spot.
Hoping to stack the doubles lineup this year, Stoughton will have
several new faces comprising its
three open singles spots.
I think we have a strong 1 singles player, and if we can win three
doubles points every match, I think
were in business, Reischel said.
Sarah Benoy is the only returning varsity singles player from a
year ago, stepping back in at No.
1 singles. A three-time state qualifier and Badger South Conference champion, Benoy earned a
12th seed at last years state singles tournament where she lost in
the opening round against Molly
Plummer of Pulaski.
Of her five losses last season,
three came against second-seeded
and state runner-up Dao Sysouvanh of Sun Prairie and another
came against D2 state champion
Claire Czerwonka of Kenosta St.
Joseph Catholic Academy.
I think getting back to state and
defending her conference title are
the goals for Sarah, Reischel said.
I think she also has the goal to
win the sectional to prove that last
years seed was justified. Her possibilities are endless. She just has
to keep playing with confidence
and getting a little better everyday.
Benoy has drawn interest
from several DIII schools in the

Vikings return three starters in 2016

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Stoughton will be looking

for improvement on the golf
course in 2016 after finishing fifth out of six teams in
2015, but there is a lot to be
hopeful for with three starters back.
S e n i o r s Ke l s e y Ta e b el (15th at the Madison
West sectional), Samantha
Zweck (35th at the Madison
West sectional) and sophomore Bre Viken (31st at the
Madison West sectional) all

average of 42.3 last season,
while Zwecks was 47.2.
Viken was second on the
team with a 46.1 nine-hole
average.
The Vikings graduated
Haven Polich (44th at the

Madison West sectional),
and Bailie Halverson (tied
for 40th at the Madison

to come out for the team.
The other girls on the
team that will be battling
for varsity spots are senior
Genevieve Stout (55.9 ninehole average), sophomores
Renee Anderson (52.3),
Jenny Marshall (56.1), Ashley Nelson (57.4) and freshman Myranda Kotlowski.
We return a lot of experienced players, so we hope
to improve on our finish
f r o m l a s t s e a s o n , h e a d
coach Dave Taebel wrote
in a questionnaire. Having our No. 1 player back in
Kelsey is helpful. Bre Viken had a great summer in
some tournaments, and Sam
Zweck and Renee Anderson

appear to have improved.
Genevieve Stout provides
some great senior leadership.

Besides the loss of Kahl,
Brickson and Carrie Aide,
Stoughton also lost its No. 3
singles player from last season in Gigi Barberino, who
decided to not come out.
It would have been great
having Gigi her, Reischel
said. With the people we
have here now though, I
dont feel like were taking
a step back. I think thats a
testament to the work the
girls have put in getting
ready for this season.
Among those battling for
varsity playing time this
season are Benoys younger
sister Stacy (No. 3 singles),
sophomore Lydia Brekken
(No. 2 singles) and junior
Krissy Pohlod (No. 4 singles) and freshman Karlie
Halverson (No. 4 singles).
Reischel said his team is
still chasing Madison Edgewood for the Badger South
and Waunakee the winner
of the North/South tournament the past three years.
Even though Edgewood
might be the best team right
now, until they can beat
Waunakee in the tournament, I think everybody has
to shoot for Waunakee, he
said. Thats our goal, and
something I still think is
very attainable. And theres
no reason why we still cant
win our sectional.

Norwegian horse breed visits Stoughton

KATE NEWTON
Fittingly enough for horse lovers

in Stoughton, one of the worlds oldest and purest breeds just so happens
to be Norwegian.
The Mandt Lodge held a program
on the storied breed during a picnic
lunch Saturday, Aug. 13, at Virgin
Lake Park, bringing in Karen and
Stuart Hanson of Yahara River Fjords

and Highlands and their 16-year-old
Fjord horse, Maria. Kids could meet
Maria up close and pet her while
hearing more about the breed during
the program, and one child even
hopped on her back.
Fjord horses were domesticated more than 4,000 years ago, with
excavations at Viking burial sites
indicating that theyve been bred for
at least 2,000 years.

In addition to primitive markings
on their legs and other parts of the
body that have stayed virtually the
same for hundreds of years, Fjord
horses also have characteristic blacktrimmed manes that are typically cut
short to emphasize the dark stripe.

Fab Lab.
The Girls Make Electric Guitars project, held
at the lab Aug. 8-11, is an
attempt to encourage female
participation in STEM programming in the district,
said Stoughton Area School
District spokesperson Derek
Spellman.
Students learned to use
the software and machinery
of the Fab Lab to build their
own electric guitar and have
some fun, but the program
had a deeper context.
Spellman said the project
had four important goals:
reducing the gender gap,

facilitating collaboration
among students, staff and
industry experts, training
music educators in engineering tools and philosophy,
and exposing female students to technical fields in a
cool and exciting way.
Spellman said the districts recent data clearly
shows an increased number
of nontraditional students in
Fab Lab STEM programs at
the high school.
We know it is working,
he said. We want to continue to accelerate this positive trend by exposing our
female students to a STEM
project with a lot of fun and
creative energy.

Mobile: Doctor says patients have been very positive about hospitals new medical method
with probably 100
patients at Stoughton Hospital using mobile doc. Hes
been pleasantly surprised
at how well patients have
received the technology.
Its been beyond my
expectations, and thats not
true of all telemedicine,
Adsit said. I would say
many people find a negative connotation (in the
term telemedicine) because
the older platforms have
so many limitations and
theyre very clunky. This is
really the first time weve
seen a positive response,
rather than equivocal or
even negative.
Adsit said nine physicians and about 30 nurses
at Stoughton Hospital have
been trained to use mobile
doc, and he expects it and
other forms of telemedicine to be the direction that
healthcare is heading.
It is without a doubt the
future, he predicted. Its
not going to be 100 percent.
I still think the majority of
interactions are going to be
(Mobile docs)
been beyond my
expectations, and
thats not true of all
telemedicine.
Q&
Dr. Graham Adsit

person-to-person. But there
are times when its not a
good use of my time to be
in a hospital in the middle
of the night, and we can
change that with this technology.
Mobile doc also means
patients dont have to be
transported to other medical facilities as often, which
saves the hospital money,
Adsit said.
He said mobile doc
is particularly useful in
parts of the country where
patients live in remote locations, without healthcare
professionals in the area.
Adsit spoke with the Courier Hub in late July about
the benefits of the new technology and his experience
using it.
Hub: The hospital sent

a short video clip of how
mobile doc works. It looks
sort of like a robot, and it
reminds me of Skype in that
two parties can see each
other and communicate. Is
that how it works?
Adsit: Exactly 100 percent. It has accessories but
no appendages. You could
in theory build one of these
in your backroom, but for
a lot different reasons we
wanted to use a business
that was in the market. They
could guarantee things like
network uptime. Its nothing more fancy at this point
than Skype with the ability to use a stethoscope and
specific types of cameras
and scopes for up-close
evaluation.
You
know
us.
WE TAKE PRIDE
IN SERVING YOU.
We live here. We work here. We volunteer here. We enjoy our role in
ensuring the success of this community.
In addition to providing great service, your not-for-profit, locally
owned utility donates time and money to worthy causes in the
community as part of our public power mission.
Together through WPPI Energy, we work with
50 other locally owned utilities to be proactive
in meeting your needs.
We're at
your service.
Call us at
837-3379.
Hub: Do you think of

this device as a robot?
Adsit: I would use it (the
term) if I knew there wasnt
a pejorative with it. (He
laughs). Everybody on the
team calls it the robot, but
the marketing team doesnt
want to use the term robot,
so they decided to call it
mobile doc. But to us, its a
robot.
Hub: With mobile doc,
when youre examining a
patient at Stoughton hospital, youre working from
somewhere else?
Adsit: Thats correct.
Everybody (doctors) has a
home office at this point,
with degrees hanging in
the background. So we do
this from a remote office.
The benefit is all of your
resources and shortcuts are
at your fingertips, because
youre in your office where
all of your resources are
available.
I didnt anticipate that
from the beginning. When
you have to go down to the
emergency room or you
have to report to a certain
location, especially shared
workspace, all of your
resources are not with you,
and they either have to be
pocket references or available by the internet. So its
been nice working in a stationary office.
Hub: Are there other
advantages to the technology?
Adsit: Yes, mobile doc
is second-generation telemedicine, and things like
stethoscopes and cameras
are markedly better in this
generation. The other key
part about this is automated
navigation. We can pre-select and say go to room No.
58, and it will go to room
58, and then as soon as its
there we can start the interaction.
Hub: Whats the nurses
role in this?
Adsit: Positioning
the patient and actually
applying the peripherals
applying the stethoscope

working in a remote location to conduct a complete physical
exam with the help of a trained nurse.
or whatever. So they are
there to actually engage
the patient, and I doubt
thats ever going to go away
because you cant really
automate that.
Hub: Whats been the
response from patients, as
far as you can tell?
Adsit: Very good. Who
knows what they think
behind closed doors, but
people have been very positive. Upfront, I was very
concerned it would have
negative perceptions, like
people wouldnt even want

to participate because it was
too impersonal. But weve
actually found the opposite.
People find it as innovative
and as improving workflow.
Now, Im sure theres 10
to 15 percent who are going
to be vocal and will get on
Yelp and things like that to
complain. But I would say
almost everybody has had
a much better impression
than I anticipated.

Vietnam memorial procession travels through Stoughton

The Wall That Heals,
a half-scale replica of the
Vietnam Veteran Memorial Wall in Washington,
D.C., was escorted by
dozens of motorcyclists
in downtown Stoughton
on Wednesday, Aug. 10.
People lined Main Street

the war.
Nearly 100 American

St. Anns holds interactive Vacation Bible School

St. Anns Catholic Church held
Vacation Bible School over three
days in July for 103 children and
over 60 volunteers. The program
featured games, snacks and dancing.
There were four different stations
for kids to learn about the Holy
Trinity and that God made us to
glow in the dark, said religious
education teacher Shaun Kleitsch.
The Bible station had interactive
stories, so kids got to try walking
on water when they learned about
Peter. There was also a games station and craft station, in which kids
made rosary holders, prayer cups
and necklaces with holy medals.
The science station featured Mentos in a Diet Coke bottle, showing
kids that Gods mercy is as great
as the explosion, Kleitsch said.

Nick Lowe come around, Brehm
said. Hes been on our list for
several years. Same with The Flatlanders, and weve been chasing
after Robert Earl Keen and The
Subdudes for quite a while.
Brehm said hes got a short list
of performers who may be added
to the lineup as the season progresses.
I would anticipate some surprises for shows that may be coming in the spring but that we havent yet finalized, he said. The
sound in the Opera House is so
good for a ton of people who are
coming this season. The seasons
going to be great.

Tickets selling quickly for 2016-17 season

The Stoughton Opera Houses 2016-17 season begins next month with more than 60 shows,
including three performances by Texan singer-songwriters Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen
in October.
Tickets for members of the Opera House went
on sale Aug. 1, and the pair of Texans sold out
two shows in 35 minutes. Opera House director
Bill Brehm and former event coordinator Christina Dollhausen then booked another which
also promptly sold all 475 seats in the historic
theater.
So if you arent a member of the Stoughton
Opera House, you probably wont be seeing
these two powerhouse performers. That still
leaves lots of other performances that havent
sold out, although Brehm told the Courier Hub
that tickets are going fast for many performers.

tickets, Brehm said Monday, the first day that

tickets went on sale to the general public. I can
see some more sell-out shows coming pretty
quickly.
Brehm said the Opera House sold about
$300,000 worth of tickets from Aug. 1-15 not
including Mondays sales, which he expected to
reach about $40,000.
Thats about 10,000 tickets so far, he said.
Thats 10,000 people going out on Main
Street in Stoughton and spending money at local
businesses, Brehm noted.
For the third year in a row, we sold as many
tickets on the first day of sales as we did the
entire first week of the prior year, he added. At
this point, weve sold about a third of the tickets that we expect to sell over the course of the
entire season.

daily four-hour walk alone

she said. They dont have to
deal with the physical strain,
either, which makes it difficult for girls to focus when
they are in class.
With a well in place, time
that would normally be
spent walking to the lake
can be used to pursue educational or career opportunities. The water provided
by a well is also cleaner and
safer to drink than water
from the lake, meaning that
it would be easier to keep
their families healthy.
