Herbicide plan
How the council voted: In an 8-4 vote the Common Council approved the Public Works plan to apply herbicides in select city parks this year. For: Tim Swadley, Ron Christianson, Paul Lawrence, Sonny Swangstu, Tom Majewski, Eric Olstad, Eric Hohol and Tom Selsor. Against: Craig Jenson, Trisha Suess, Mike Engleberger and David Kneebone. The issue: In response to the citys plan to apply herbicides in city parks and athletic fields for the first time in at least a decade to control weed growth, three city residents petitioned the city to postpone its plan for one year to devise a more comprehensive and organic approach to weed control, out of concern for the health and safety of their children and the city as a whole.

On a 7-4 vote, the council followed the recommendation of the Public Safety committee to grant the applicant, Adam Phillippi, a license even though hes received two citations in the past two years for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Alds. Greg Jenson, Eric Hohol, Tricia Suess, Sonny Swangstu, Tim

Mom, son arrested for theft in Madison


A Stoughton mother and her son were arrested the day after Mothers Day in connection with a theft in Madison. Staci C. Howell, 40, was cited for obstruction of justice and her son, Lonye D. Howell, 21, was charged with two counts of theft, both misdemeanors, in the incident. Around 4 p.m. Monday, May 13, Lonye was seen by an employee cutting a security tag off a pair of shoes at Kohls in the West Towne Mall, according to a report from the Madison Police Department. The employee called police and a Madison police officer was waiting outside the store, watching the entrance with binoculars. He saw the suspect come running, with loss prevention officers on his heels, Madison police spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in the report. The officer also spotted a woman in a white Pontiac attempting to parallel the fleeing man. That woman was Staci Howell, who later admitted that she was trying to get her son in the car so they could escape. According to police, Lonye was a suspect in a May 9 case of retail theft from Target on Lien Road in Madison. Online court records show Lonye is set for a pre-trial hearing June 18. - Mark Ignatowski

On the web

The Stoughton Area School District has joined the blogosphere. Superintendent Tim Onsager started a blog last month, with the first entry published April 15 on the districts website to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the high schools new digital fabrication laboratory. Hes written an entry every week since, weighing in on the local implications of school vouchers, explaining new standardized test scores and trumpeting Fox Prairie Elementary Schools selection as a research school by the University of Kansas. I think its going really well, Onsager said in a May 8 interview. The blog, he said, presents an opportunity to highlight different things happening in the district as well as different issues in education. The district in recent months has highlighted communication as an area of focus and also talked about expanding into social media.

Follow Onsagers blog online:

stoughtonschools.blogspot.com/ The blog is part of that communication outreach. Im kind of dipping my toes in a little bit with the blog, Onsager said. A recent survey of parents had asked about various methods of communication from the district. Electronic formats accounted for three of the top five, with 91 percent of respondents saying email was their preferred method, followed by parent teacher conferences (52 percent), conversations with teachers (45 percent), the district website (42 percent) and electronic newsletters or eNews (39 percent). By contrast, only 7 percent said Facebook and 1 percent said Twitter on that survey. The district is still likely to pursue social media, Onsager said, pointing out that the survey covered only one segment of the districts population. He also said the district is likely to update its web page to make it more user friendly and more readable to users. He believes the last time the district updated the site was about six years ago. Meanwhile, the blog helps get out information about the district and opens a new avenue of communication to those who like to read blogs, for example, Onsager said. And there are plenty of topics to cover in the blog, whether its about things going on in Stoughton schools or at the state level with education. Some have already discovered the district blog, which so far has featured a new entry every Monday. Its still relatively new, Onsager said.

The high school choir went to Carnegie Hall. The Norwegian Dancers went to Arizona. Its been a well-rounded class, principal Mike Kruse said. I think they have done a really good job this year, he said. Were an interesting group of kids, graduating senior Haley Houser told the Hub last week. Houser will be attending the University of WisconsinWhitewater in the fall, where she will pursue a career in teaching. She also plans to continue competing in the shot-put and discus and hopefully the hammer on the universitys track team. She has a been a standout on this years SHS team. Like many seniors, she is left with a mixture of emotions when it comes to graduation. Sad and excited, she said. The most important lesson she learned from high school: Love what you do. If you love it, you should do it. Nisrine Taamallah could be another future teacher from Stoughton. Taamallah will be attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the fall. She wants to be an English as a second language teacher. I want to teach in a different country as well as in the United States, she said. Her interest in other countries stems partly from her father, who is from Tunisia, and partly from the availability of jobs both here and abroad. As for whether she is happy or sad about graduating, its more of the former. Im really excited, Taamallah said. Ive been really excited for a long time. The most important lesson she learned: whatever you put into an endeavor, you get out of it. You cant expect things to come easily, she said.

Letters to the editor

Raw milk trial is about money, control


In my opinion, the raw milk controversy is all about money! As a former dairy consultant, I know that large dairy processing plants are indirectly behind this harassment and realize huge profits via the extensive pasteurization/handling process. If family farms were able to establish a successful marketing venue, with direct farm-to-consumer sales, this would seriously impact the profits of these large companies and provide healthier milk to consumers at lower prices. Regarding the safety issue scare tactics, this is just a ploy! As we regularly see in the news, all food products will cause health problems if not properly handled. I hope this goes all the way to the Supreme Court. This is America. We still have rightswithout government encroachment. Its about a lot more than raw milk! Norman C. Granvold Stoughton

State funds help demolish city property


Representatives from three state agencies joined City of Stoughton officials Thursday, May 23, for the demolition of a house under the states Strategic Blight Elimination Program. The home, 217 S. Prairie St., sat adjacent to the former Marathon gas station that fronted East Main Street. The site has been eyed for redevelopment by the city for several years. The lots likely will be combined and marketed as a potential site for commercial space. Under the Strategic Blight Elimination Program, more than $1.1 million was awarded to 16 Wisconsin communities for the removal of 131 housing units, with funding coming from settlement proceeds received by Department of Financial Institutions and Department of Justice. The program targeted properties that represented a pronounced safety issue, occupied a parcel that could be immediately repurposed for a broader strategic use, or inhibited the re-emergence of a neighborhood. The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority is administrator of the program. The state received money in February 2012 through the National Mortgage Settlement, which the state and federal governments were paid by the five largest mortgage services over foreclosure abuses and fraud, and unacceptable nationwide mortgage servicing practices, according to a news release from the states justice department. Stoughton received $45,000 for the removal of two blighted properties under the program. The money was awarded to properties that posed safety risks, were close to other properties that could be developed or that inhibited reemergence of a neighborhood, the release said. City officials already used part of the funds to demolish a home on East Jefferson Street to make way for a future library expansion plan. No expansion plans have been discussed, but the property is likely in the area where that expansion would occur, city officials previously told the Hub. The Prairie Street home was acquired by the city in late August 2012. Both homes were foreclosed, and the city allowed tenants to live out their lease in the Prairie Street home. That lease ended in April. - Mark Ignatowski

State funds helped the city demolish a property on South Prairie Street last week. The city used part of a $45,000 grant from the Strategic Blight Elimination Program to tear down the home, which sits adjacent to the former Marathon gas station site on East Main Street. Above, the right side of the home is torn down using an excavator. Left, part of the home stands last Thursday. The property has since been demolished and covered in grass seed.

Thought for the week


It is almost a clich to say that education must be continuous throughout ones life. We all know that we live in a rapidly changing world and that technology isnt waiting around for us to catch up. The more important reason for lifelong education is that it takes a lifetime to figure out how to be a decent human being. This is one reason why its important for young people to listen to their elders and to read the classics. The wisdom of the elders is the received wisdom of our culture, in much the same way as the classics contain the wisdom of the ages. Having to figure out everything on our own would be tantamount to reinventing the wheel. Education is a much more efficient way of adapting to life in a complicated and often dangerous world. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instructions. Proverbs 1:7

Troll Beach season opening set for June 8


A wet, chilly Memorial Day might make it hard to think about the summer beach season, but the citys Troll Beach is slated to open next weekend. Troll Beach, formerly known as Mandt Park Pool and the Mud Hole, will open to the public June 8. The beach will be open everyday from noon until 5 p.m. , weather permitting. City officials invested more than $40,000 in improvements last year to make the swimming area and beach more attractive to residents and visitors. Improvements included new inflatable play equipment, pool chairs and umbrella, and a concessions stand. Additional improvements, including an indoor party room, murals and more were added during the winter. The improvements earned the facility the 2012 Wisconsin Parks and Recreation Association Outstanding Aquatic Facility Design Award. Last summers heat wave helped drive attendance and revenues up. By mid-July last year, the city had more than $2,000 more in revenue for the swimming area than they had budgeted for. Daily Rates for residents 16 years old and older are $3.50. Residents under 15 years old can get in for $2.50. Nonresident rates are $0.50 more. Group rates, season passes and party rentals are available, as well. For information, visit ci.stoughton.wi.us.

Alcohol: Council approves


license despite objections
Continued from page 1 mistakes he made, Lawrence told the Hub after the meeting. I think he impressed us with his maturity and responsibility, and we were willing to say you made a couple of bad mistakes, but I dont think we should slam the door on you. The committee unanimously recommended the council grant the license. Christianson (Dist. 2) was the most vocal opponent of approving Phillippis application. He said the decision to approve or deny the application is a judgment call, and in his judgment, the applicants record suggests that hes got a problem with alcohol. Approving the application would not be in the best interest of the community or the applicant himself, Christianson said. I felt it was a little soon, he said. This gentleman had two very close DWI offenses. if theyre a convicted felon; any convicted felon forfeits their ability to get a license. Leck added the policy is for the Police Department and the Public Safety Committee with the understanding that it doesnt eliminate the right of the council to make whatever approval they want to make based on the circumstances.

Past experience

The policy

UN285876

The citys policy is if someone applies for an operators license and has a clean record, the clerk can simply collect a $50 payment and, after a police background check, grant the license for a year, assuming the applicant has completed an alcohol servers course. All licenses expire June 30, but if a license holder has a clean record, that person can pay $75 for a two-year license. The committee can decide whether to grant a one-year or two-year license. If, however, the applicant has a blemish on his or her record, the person is asked to meet and have a discussion with the police chief and Public Safety Committee. The committee can then look the applicant in the eye, as Lawrence put it, and decide to either recommend denial or approval of the full council. In Phillippis case, because he is applying now, he will have to reapply after this June 30, and the council will grant only a one-year license if it decides to do so. Leck explained that the Police Department and the Public Safety Committee put the policy in place to try to take emotion out of the decision. You always feel like giving people a second chance, but then again its a responsible privilege that were granting to people, he explained. So it is a balancing act. Leck said his criteria for recommending the council approve or deny an application is straightforward. The policy does state that one offense in a year, or two or more offenses in a fiveyear period if theyre substantially related to the activity of the license is cause for a negative recommendation from the police chief. For us, we make the determination that drunk driving and drug offenses and things like that disorderly conducts are substantially related to the activity of being a licensed operator. Or

Ald. Suess sat on Public Safety last year and went through a few cases similar to Phillippis. She explained that if in conducting a background check of the applicant, the police chief finds a problem, he asks the applicant to appear before the committee. If the person does not appear, thats a pretty easy denial, Suess said. If the person appears, then its a fairly open discussion between the committee and the applicant, and you just have to make a judgment call. Last year the council approved a few applications that Leck had recommended for denial, but it also chose to deny one. The council takes it on a case-by-case basis, Suess said. She voted to grant Phillippi a license because she trusted that the committee had done its due diligence. And secondly, the applicants license expires at the end of June, she said, so the guys going to have to re-up anyway immediately. So well at least get a sixweeks or so look at his performance. Christianson said its almost never easy to deny an applicant a license. The council realizes that people need to earn a living somehow. It depends on where your sentiments are, he reasoned. It gets to be a use-yourhead or use-your-heart kind of situation. Ive served on the Public Safety Committee probably eight or nine years and Ive run into it I cant count how many times. And it just rips you up to have to make decisions like that, but thats why we have the policy so you have something to fall back on. During the council debate, Ald. Swadley (Dist. 1) pointed out that Phillippi has a young child and needs the part-time job at Banushis Bar and Grill, where he already works. He also holds a full-time job elsewhere. Lawrence said hes served on the Public Safety Committee many times in his 14 or so years on the council, and weve given many people passes on these things over the years. He cant recall ever regretting approving a license in this type of situation. The whole logic of this is that your record indicates your level of responsibility, to a degree, he figured. Then the magic is for us to determine what that degree amounts to. And we thought that he deserves another chance. Its as simple as that.

Stoughton girls track and field crowned a trio of sectional champions last Thursday and advanced to this weekends 43rd annual WIAA Division 1 girls state meet in seven other events. That was more than enough to gave the team its first sectional title in school history. The Vikings, led by sectional titles from senior Haley Houser, junior Maren Schultz and sophomore Nikki Staffen, scored 85 points seven ahead of Kenosha Tremper for first place. Verona, which won regionals and had taken sectionals the past three seasons, finished third with 72. Overall, I was very pleased with how the girls made that next jump and really competed at a level I wasnt expecting coming into tonight, head coach Eric Benedict said. Im elated and am looking forward to

some fun stuff next week. Two days after breaking the girls school shot put record, Houser was at it against Thursday at Waterford. Houser bested her own mark with a toss of 41 feet, 3 inches, which held up to give the senior her second sectional title. She enters state with the second best qualifying distance behind only Slinger junior Kiley Sabin (41-10). Though she thought the throw would hold up entering finals, Houser was surprised to break the record in back-to-back meets. Honestly, I didnt think Id break the record again tonight, but I was pleasantly surprised that I did, Houser said. It felt great. As soon

ConnectStoughton.com as we saw it land, we knew it was a new PR. Nervous a year ago, Houser finished 18th out of 24 in the shot put, something shes focused on improving up this season. It would be awesome to medal, but if I dont that will be OK, she said. Feeling she needs a throw of at least 41 or 42 feet to medal at state, Houser said, I think there is still more in there. Im just hoping to do better because Ive been there and I know the whole experience. Houser also qualified for state by taking third in the discus with a toss of 111-10 a mere five inches ahead of Verona senior Jordan Bartholf. Schultz failed to reach sec-

Though she didnt clear 5-1 to win the event outright, Schultz said it didnt take anything away from the win. It just pushes me to want to win by clearing a height next week, she

Members of the Stoughton girls track and field team celebrate with the WIAA Division 1 Waterford sectional trophy last Thursday. The Vikings posted 85 points to win their first sectional title is school history. Kenosha Tremper finished second with 78 points.

Head coach Dave Taebel said the wait for the Stoughton boys golf team was a little nervewracking after entering the River Run Golf Course clubhouse with a 299 team score Tuesday at the WIAA Division 1 Sparta sectional. The score might have been the best all season, but with Madison Memorial ranked No. 1 in the Wisconsin High School Golf Coaches Association poll, No. 5 Verona, No. 6 Holmen and No. 9 Onalaska still on the course, no score was safe enough. Despite the odds, however, the Vikings score held up for a second-place finish and a trip to state three strokes behind sectional champion Onalaska which has never happened in program history, Taebel said. We were just trying to stay loose on the putting green because we were

WIAA D1 State Tennis
A week after Stoughton crowned its first Badger Conference tennis champion in a decade, the Vikings were at it again Thursday at the Lake Geneva Badger sectional. Moved inside to Elkhorns Four Lakes Athletic Club due to rain, Stoughton advanced a pair of doubles teams back to state for the first time in 11 years. Seniors John Evans and Bubba Shaffer knew all they needed to qualify for this weeks WIAA Division 1 individual state tournament was a win in their No. 1 doubles match against Elkhorn seniors Adam Skocylas and Brandon Riese. Evans and Shaffer accomplished their season-long goal with a 6-1, 6-3 win. Despite losing two matches and finishing fourth overall at the Badger Conference meet, neither Shaffer nor Evans said they doubted getting to state. We knew we had to play When: Thursday, May 30, to Saturday, June 1 Times: 10:30 a.m. Thursday, 9 a.m. Friday and 8:30 a.m. Saturday Where: Nielsen Tennis Stadium in Madison better today, Evans said. It feels really good, but weve still got a lot of work ahead of us. For Evans, it caps a senior year in which he helped the Stoughton boys swimming team send its first relay team to the WIAA state meet. The Stoughton seniors saved their best match of the season for the second of its three rounds Thursday in a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 win over Big Eight Conference champions Timo Bentolia and Will Simonson. That was the best Ive seen John and Bubba play all season, Vikings head coach Ryan Reischel said.

Golf: Four golfers shoot in the 70s to lead Stoughton to the WIAA D1 state meet
Continued from page 13 wondering if there might be a playoff or anything like that, he said. We didnt get too caught up in the atmosphere. We just kept riding it, and when that final score was posted, it was just a great feeling. The Vikings entered the meet as an honorable mention, so having four golfers shoot in the 70s came as no surprise to Taebel. We made some great decisions and eliminated the big number, and I just couldnt be more proud of our kids, he said. Senior Henry Klongland once again led the way with a 72, but senior Anders Tiffany and junior Max Fergus werent far behind with a pair of 75s. Senior Peter Campbell finished the scoring for Stoughton with a 77. Everyone is expecting me to be totally shocked ... but to be totally honest with you, we talked about it the night before at our team meeting when everyone was throwing around a number that they thought they could comfortably shoot. We started adding it up, and we were right around 300, Taebel said. Klonglands score was good enough to tie him for second place overall, but Onalaska senior Ben Skogen lit up the golf course, dropping a 5-under par 67. Klongland will have to go shot for shot with Skogen at the WIAA Division 1 state golf meet Monday and Tuesday at University Ridge Golf Course in Verona. But being at the state meet as a team is something that might motivate Klongland even more. Taebel said he talked with Klongland last year at state after watching the team qualifiers practice, and they both said it would be exciting to have the entire Stoughton team with him. They both get their wish this season. (Henry) is excited, and that is the kind of kid he is, Taebel said. He is obviously one of the top players around, and having him come in last and knowing that his score when you write it down is going to be solid, is great to have. He is such a great leader, and he is going to do the best he can. As for Stoughtons chances, Taebel said one of the benefits coming out of this sectional is knowing that you had to beat the best to make it to state. He said he hopes that continues at state, as the team strives to win the title. The guys are focused, which is pretty cool, Taebel said. They know that it is not just a matter of getting there, even though it is an amazing accomplishment to get through this sectional ... but they know that we are not done. And that is a pretty good attitude to have. Holmens Tyler Church (72), Sauk Prairies RJ Budd (72) and La Crosse Centrals Devin Terry (73) all qualified as individuals to state. Holmen was third with a 306, while Madison Memorial (310) and Verona (313) took fourth and fifth, respectively. No. 10 Middleton (314) and honorable mention Tomah (318) took sixth and seventh.

Tennis: Evans/Shafer and Thunell/Kahl doubles advance


Continued from page 13 The key was setting up their approach shots to get to the net. Ive never seen Bubba hit the ball so well, Reischel said. Johnny was running around his backhand too much in the first two sets. In the third set, he started sticking in there and hitting his backhand. Evans and Shaffer fell 6-2, 2-6, 6-2 to Madison Memorials William Xiang and Jamy Dennis in the championship match. We played our best tennis of the season today, Shaffer said. If we play that well at state, I think well be OK. If we get beat playing at our best, Im OK with that. Evans and Shaffer (215) face special qualifying seniors Chad Menster and Zach Bischmann (15-14) of Arrowhead at noon. With Evans and Shaffer already through, Stoughtons No. 2 doubles team of senior Elijah Thunell and junior Tanner Kahl had a chance to earn the sectionals special qualifier, which they did, finishing second overall. Thunell and Kahl rolled to a 6-3, 6-2 win over Milton in the first round but were unable to get over the hump in the championship match. Coming out on different ends of the spectrum, the Vikings dug themselves into a 3-0 hole in the first set before going up 4-2 to start the second. Stoughton was unable to take either set, however, falling 6-4, 7-5 to Madison Wests Allen Yen and Jamie McDowell. It was the first loss of the season for Thunell and Kahl (15-1), who will face Stevens Point sophomores Trenton Seegert and Noah Meier (15-10) at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday. Marquette seniors CJ Armbrust and Jed Sekaran (7-2) and senior Greg Raster and junior Austin Budiono (17-2) earned the top seeds. The mind-set for the Vikings moving forward is to have fun. Wed like to win a match or two, but everything from here on out is just gravy, Reischel said. Competition continues through singles and doubles quarterfinals Friday, starting at 9 a.m. Consolation semifinals begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, while the championship semifinals get underway at 9 a.m.

Utica lost its lone game over the weekend 9-6, allowing seven runs in three innings from the sixth to the eighth. Doug Vike (3-for-4), Brad Ashmore (2-for-5) and Andy Martin (4-for-5) led the offense. Matt Ellingson picked up the loss, allowing four earned runs on three hits and two walks in one inning.

Staffen went 2-for-2 in the 1,600-meter run, repeating as the sectional champion with a time of 5:23.96.

Stoughton senior Jalen Clark thought he might finish fifth Thursday as he entered sectionals seeded sixth overall in the 100-meter dash. Looking at the times, I didnt think I had a chance, said Clark who posted an 11.32 to defeat Fort Atkinsons James Nachtigal in a race where first and fourth were separated by a little over a tenth of a second. I didnt even realize I had won until I turned around, he said. It didnt even know what to think at first. A first-time state qualifier, Clark will run out of lane 1 in the second heat of prelims. It does feel good to know that you are

one of the best of the state, he said. It makes me more confident going to state.

Stoughton Hospital eyes emergency room expansion


Architects, staff in early stages of planning
Derek Spellman
Unified Newspaper Group

17

Stoughton Hospital staff spent part of last Wednesday poring over tile samples and color schemes in the hospitals conference center. Its still early, but the planning has begun for a potential expansion to the hospitals emergency department. Pending final approval by its board of directors, the hospital could launch on a renovation and addition project for that department, which includes the hospitals emergency room, urgent care and accompanying clinical space. The detailed plans and cost estimates are still to come, but Stoughton Hospital CEO and president Terry Brenny said the hospital has outgrown the facilitys current

space and layout. When the hospitals current emergency department was constructed in the mid1990s, the hospital was averaging 8,000 visits a year to its emergency room and urgent care. Now, it has 20,000 visits a year. Brenny attributed that increase to growth in both the area population and the capability of the hospital staff, including its use of physicians who specialize in emergency room care. The hospital has also seen an increase in specialists who wish to work in Stoughton. Brenny said the emergency department is a gateway for many who come to the hospital, including those outside the community. Emergency services from areas like Stoughton, Evansville, McFarland, Deerfield and Cottage Grove all come to Stoughtons emergency department. ER and urgent care are to be your portals of entry, Brenny told the Hub last

week. More than two dozen people, many of them hospital staff and representatives from area emergency services departments, attended Wednesdays brainstorming session led by the projects architectural firm, Kahler Slater, which has a Madison office. The two-hour exercise called for participants to

weigh in on themes and qualities they would like to see reflected in an expanded department, such as high patient satisfaction and security, quality service and state-of-the-art care. Attendees also touched on some architectural and service elements natural lighting, activity areas for children and privacy rooms they would like to see.

The architects are to use those ideas to develop some designs that they will present to the hospitals board of directors over the summer. Brenny said if those designs are approved, more detailed plans will be drawn up, along with cost estimates, to explore financing. Pending board approval, the hospital hopes to solicit bids and break ground on the project next year and complete the project by the end of 2015, Brenny said. Stoughton Hospital spokeswoman Laura Mays previously explained in an email to the Hub that the project could cost a few million dollars, though that will depend on several yet-to-be-determined factors. Project cost will be determined by carefully demonstrated need, project scope, availability of affordable financing, health delivery payment reforms pending in the industry, Mays wrote.A Hospital Foundation capital

campaign may be considered to support the project, as occurred with Phases I and II. The work on the emergency department would mark the fourth phase of capital projects at the hospital, Brenny said. The first phase, completed in 1995, included the current emergency room and urgent care, as well as the front lobby and medical building that now houses the Dean Clinic. The second phase, completed in 2000, was the addition of a third floor to the emergency department building. The third phase, finished several years ago, included its new kitchen and dining room and new, expanded Bryant Center in the hospitals lower level. The third phase came after the hospital relocated its outpatient rehabilitation services (physical, occupational and speech therapy) from the hospital to Stoughton Wellness and Athletic Center (SWAC) in August 2008.

Hospital: Amenities like valet service, ambient noise controls help improve hospital stays
Continued from page 1 become part of the hospitals culture was employee buy-in and commitment. The programs planners managed to accomplish that through a variety of approaches. Once a new employee is hired, they go through an orientation and what Hermes called customer service university a half-day training where the employee is walked through the hospitals standards of performance designed to provide maximum patient satisfaction. Hospital spokesperson Laura Mays said the program and the hospitals focus on customer service is more that mere lip service: Ive only been here a year, but our Excellence Together team works hard on putting patient satisfaction and safety as a priority. The hospital has seven employee-led teams all working toward meeting patients needs and providing excellent service. Brenny said patients and their families are at the top of the hospitals list of priorities. Hospitals are notorious for putting in place practices that are more convenient for employees and the work flow than for patients. But that

How they do it

Amy Hermes, the hospitals vice president of inpatient services, said the process of hardwiring the Excellence Together program begins at the initial stages of a new employee becoming part of the team. In the interview process we go over our standards of expected behavior and performance with any new potential hires, she explained. And we really try to screen for a fit vs. skills. The hospital does not discount an employees training and skills, she stressed, but we want them to know upfront the culture that weve created and that they will be coming into so there are no surprises.

doesnt happen at Stoughton Hospital, he said. With everything we do here all our plans, our programs, our services, the way we do things we strive to put the patient and the family first, Brenny said. In 1996, for example, Stoughton Hospital became the first health care facility in Dane County to offer valet service. It was also one of the first to offer an escort service for patients and family while visiting the hospital. The same is true of the oncall food service. We were one of the early hospitals in Dane County to provide room service at any time of the day, Brenny said. People can order food from a leather-bound menu and get gourmet food brought up to their private room. And they all have private rooms here, with gorgeous views to the west or to the north. Valet service, escorts and the food service are the types of things that we look at that make us unique and

different, Hermes said. The hospital has instituted a host of other practices that make it patient-friendly, including a quiet campaign for an hour each afternoon, when lights are dimmed and voices lowered. The campaign uses a yacker tracker that monitors volume in the hospital. When noise reaches a certain level, a red light goes off to remind people to tone it down, Mays explained. And during that hour, from 1 to 2 p.m., there are no labs and no testing is going on. The lights go dim and no one, unless its an emergency, can be going in and bothering the patients, Hermes said. We just recognized that the patients needed a break from us, so to speak, she added. Quiet is part of healing, and people need their rest. The hospital has flexible visitation hours for patients families and is also famous for its practice of giving

And even though weve done well, we always like to do better, because excellence theoretically is a journey. Its not a destination.

Gauging satisfaction

To make sure its accomplishing its mission, the hospital works with a consultant to determine patient satisfaction along with employee and physician satisfaction. We want to hear from all three of those groups, Hermes said. Brenny said in order to serve patients well, administrators such as himself also have to pay attention to physicians and employees. Thats also part of our Excellence Together program, he said. We do initiatives for our employees and physicians so that theyre

relatively happy and content. Youre never perfectly happy, but you want to be relatively happy and content because that plays out in your job. With its 35 beds, 109-year history and location in a small, friendly city, Stoughton Hospital has some inherent advantages over bigger hospitals in larger cities. Theres less stress, and hospital staff can more effectively operate as a team to meet patients needs. Ive seen the gamut between large metropolitan hospitals and smaller community hospitals like what we have here in Stoughton, Brenny said. I know were much more nimble in responses to the community. We know our trustees and our physicians and many of the patients and families who come here. So I like to think of us as family. Thats much more difficult to do in a large city hospital with thousands of employees and hundreds and hundreds of beds.
