With an April referendum squarely in their sights as a solution to a mounting financial concerns, the Stoughton Area School District Board of Education continued to narrow their focus on what and how much they will ask from district residents. During the boards Monday night meeting, district
superintendent Dr. Tim Onsager said there seems to be a consensus among board members on the need for a four-year referendum schedule; the question is now whether that referendum should be recurring or not. A recurring referendum would indefinitely add to the amount of taxes the district could raise, depending

Forestry: SASD plans to work with city, local businesses to reuse old trees
Continued from page 1 that was rotten, splitting and hanging over a house near Johnson and Harding streets. After it was cut down, it followed a similar path for other trees that have been salvaged in the city. The wood was sent to a sawmill in the Oregon area, where it was cut into boards. Various volunteers and artists then use the wood to make park benches, picnic tables, art projects and more, Nelson said. Johnsons bench was made by Madison artist Avery Royer. She stained the wood and made a metal frame to support the wood. Other projects including seats at the Norse Park tennis courts, a bench near city hall and garden beds at Stoughton Area Youth Center are all made with wood saved by the citys urban forestry program. businesses. Notably, it got a boost from involvement by Cummins, Inc. a few years ago. Cummins employees led by industrial engineer Sharanya Krishnamurthi held a fundraiser at the company to raise money to plant new trees in city parks. That Adopt a Park program aims to plant trees that will be have multiple benefits to the city and its residents. For example, fruit trees have been planted with the goal of being able to provide fresh produce to the local food pantries. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has noticed and praised the partnership. And Nelson and Krishnamurthi were asked to present on their program at the Wisconsin Arborists Association conference in Green Bay earlier this year. Since then, its gotten even bigger, Nelson said in August while installing the bench in Norse park. The pair also has been asked to present at the 2014 International Society of Arboriculture world conference in Milwaukee. Stoughton has used grants through the DNR to pay for milling and other costs associated with the program. Its success working with Cummins has impressed the DNR, said the agencys south central regional urban forestry assistant, Elizabeth Dierickx. Their project really is a model, Dierickx said. Thats something that were interested at the state level to replicate with these partnerships. Communities have to do more with less. Its model project. Dierickx said other communities in the state have different partnerships, but nothing on the level that Stoughton and Cummins work at. Some communities will partner with utility companies to use lumber for utility poles or replace trees that need to be cut down for new lines.
A new bench near a tree honoring former Mayor Helen Johnson was made with recycled wood from Stoughton. A dying tree was turned into lumber through the citys urban forestry program and help from Cummins Filtration. Below, crews cut limbs from a fallen tree in the city.

dry the cut boards so that they can be used indoors. Future plans For this project, Nelson said Nelson said the citys next he hopes to partner with the step will be to build a solar- Stoughton Area School Dispowered kiln that will help trict. Stoughton High School students will help build the apparatus, Nelson said. As these trees come down we can use them for than just outside projects, Nelson said. The city, Cummins and the high school have been working on blueprints and cost estimates for the kiln, said Cummins test engineer Dan Potratz. Were still in the planning stages, Potratz told the Hub earlier this year. We have the kiln design laid out. The kiln will be built using ash boards donated by the City of Middleton, Nelson said, and they plan to have it put on a trailer to make it mobile. That will allow it to be used for demonstrations at events like Syttende Mai, Potratz said. Cummins will cover most of the cost of building the kiln, Potratz said, but is still working out details about making the apparatus mobile before coming up with a cost estimate. Potratz said Cummins employees designed the kiln by combining plans from the University of
UN322600
Wisconsin-Extension office and the University of Virginia. The kiln will be built and wired by Cummins employees, city staff and volunteers from the high school. The big thing is getting Cummins, the city and the high school all to work on it together, Potratz said. Potratz said he hopes to
complete the project during the winter and have it operational by spring. The kiln might be stationed at the high school in order to have students monitor the wood as it dries and remove it at the right times. Were still working on the preliminary time commitments for everybody, Potratz said.

German exchange students who spent time recently in Stoughton make the W sign during a recent visit to Camp Randall Stadium.
German exchange students enjoy return trip

SHS students host German counterparts for two weeks
BY KImbErLY WEThAL ANd SCOTT DE LArUELLE
Hopefully, all the Norwegian flags around town didnt cause any confusion. Earlier this month, a group of more than a dozen students from Augustinianum Gymnasium Greven wrapped up a visit to Stoughton, hosted by Stoughton High School students. The trip is the last
half of an exchange through the German American Partnership Program (GAPP), during which 19 SHS students traveled to Germany for three weeks this summer. The German students visited from Oct. 17 to Nov. 3, and got a great chance to experience American culture firsthand with their SHS partners. The group visited Chicago upon its arrival, where Celina Remke,
partner to SHS senior Allie Moe, noticed a difference right away. Especially the skyscrapers and the (elevated) train, Remke said. Also the typical yellow school buses. And there are so many Dunkin Donut shops on every street. But that you have to pay tax is very weird. I was so excited to go there because everybody wants to go to America.
Some things taken for granted by Americans also caught the attention of the German students. We would go to a restaurant and theyd be like, What, free refills? Moe said. The German students got to experience a local slice of America with the help of their partners, attending Badger games, touring the state capitol, eating out, traveling to the Wisconsin Dells and going to other attractions. German students also gave presentations to
SHS students and at the Stoughton Senior Center about Germany and its culture. My experience in America was great, Remke said. I love it and I miss it a lot. The exchanges were initiated in 2009 by SHS German teacher Lisa Gierke, and the program has grown every year since to form a strong bond between Greven and Stoughton students, staff and families. To participate in the
program, students must be enrolled in a German class at the high school and be signed up for the next level of German in the year following the trip. Families must also agree to host their exchange partner the following October. Students receive one high school credit for participating. The next set of exchanges between the schools is scheduled for June and October 2015.

Staffing: Council votes to hire HR director, but changes to departments are still pending
Continued from page 1 But with the Personnel Committee left to work out the details and bring back a new plan to the council, committee member Tricia Suess (Dist. 3) has come up with a plan she thinks will be a good compromise. Her idea and any other ideas for fitting the new roles into the budget that was approved including possible reconsideration of last weeks vote will be discussed at a special Personnel Committee meeting Suess scheduled for this Thursday. Its very similar (to the mayors plan), Suess said of her plan, but does not directly combine the two departments. That was the major objection some alders had to the mayors proposal. Suess said she likes aspects of the mayors proposal, specifically the job titles and number of full- and limited-term employees it would create, mostly from existing resources. So her answer was to have more employees report directly to the mayor. I like the structure that the mayor came up with, she said, explaining that her version almost mimics Olsons plan. Instead of having the clerk and deputy clerk report to the finance director, however, it keeps them in their own department. The mayor would then have two administrative assistants who could be assigned duties for either department. That way, (the mayor) can work with the clerk and finance director and other department heads to dictate the work that those two would be doing, Suess explained. If the committee recommends Suess ideas for approval, the council would likely discuss and possibly vote on it at its next regular meeting, Nov. 27. The city has been searching for ways to lighten the load of the clerk after losing three clerks over three years, leaving deputy clerk Pili Hougan to take over the job of acting clerk several times. A study earlier this year by the con- Hougan sulting firm Baker Tilly recommended the city hire a full-time HR specialist. And Olson told the council last week a change was necessary in order to reduce some salaries and create efficiencies at City Hall. She has said repeatedly the clerk, who also serves as the citys personnel director, has had too big a workload and too many responsibilities, especially during elections. Because her proposal would have removed personnel responsibilities from the clerks office, the clerks salary could be reduced, she said. Change is always difficult, Olson said. In tough economic times, particularly with what municipalities are facing these days, consolidation of departments is often something that you look to, to either increase efficiencies or save money or both at the same time. H e r p l a n a l s o Olson called for reducing the deputy clerk position from full-time to half-time and using money saved in the two clerk office changes to help fund the HR position. Olson also planned to eliminate 30 hours from the finance department and redirect 20 of those hours to the new HR department and 10 hours toward an administrative assistant. When you take all of the HR responsibilities and all of the risk management responsibilities out of the clerks office, that drastically changes the job descriptions for both the clerk and the deputy clerk, she said. It doesnt require the same amount of time and resources to be allocated to those positions. As a result, the pieces of her proposal were integrally related and interdependent. And yet, Ald. Tom Selsor (Dist. 4) moved to separate the two parts of the resolution and consider them individually. That passed on a 9-3 vote. The council then debated the consolidation proposal, which failed on a 6-5 vote with one abstention. Selsor had argued that putting the clerk position under finance would not create efficiencies. He said the two areas are unrelated, and he also did not agree with what some interpreted as a downgrading of the clerks role. Joining Selsor in voting against that part of the resolution were Suess and Alds. David Kneebone (Dist. 1), Tom Majewski (Dist. 3), Michael Engelberger (Dist. 2) and Greg Jenson (Dist. 3). Those in favor included council president Eric Hohol (Dist. 4), Tim Swadley (Dist. 1), Ron Christianson (Dist. 2), Paul Lawrence (Dist. 2) and Sonny Swangstu (Dist. 1). Ald. Ross Urven (Dist. 4) abstained.
Adding HR staff
Split decision
The discussion over hiring an HR specialist was much less contentious, with Alds. Engelberger and Kneebone voting against. Both said they were dissatisfied with the Baker Tilly study and the process in general. I didnt agree with the cost of the study and didnt agree with a lot of the things in the study, Engelberger said. He told the council he would have preferred to meet as a Committee of the Whole, discuss the issues with city staff and have the council find its own solutions while saving the roughly $30,000 cost of the study. Baker Tilly estimated an HR specialist would cost the city about $60,000 in salary and benefits at three-quarters time, or about $80,000 at full-time. The Personnel committee hasnt discussed or recommended specific salaries for various positions under consideration or whether the HR director would be full-time or threequarters time.
He also absolutely agrees with Suess idea about rearranging City Hall staff. I think the mayor and Laurie came up with a good plan to make some changes, he said. And I agree with the changes, except for combining the two departments. Were pretty close, he added, but Im not sure that the budget has very much to do with the desire to unite these two departments. Theres no financial basis to do that, not that I can see.

The decision angered Ald. Christianson, who said it wasnt possible to hire an HR director and have a separate clerk office and finance office under the financial constraints facing the city. He was critical of council members who voted against the consolidation, and as he grew increasingly agitated, Christianson abruptly left the room before the HR discussion began. On Monday, Christianson said he felt like resigning a week ago but has reconsidered. He attended last weeks Personnel committee meeting and has some problems with Suess idea. He said the mayors job is to oversee the 12 department heads, not to oversee administrative assistants. There is a hierarchy that has to be followed, he said. It happens in every organization, and theres a rightful place for oversight and delegation. I think thats two steps removed from the mayors responsibility. Selsor disagreed with the notion that the city cant afford to hire an HR specialist if it doesnt consolidate the two departments. He said hes run the numbers provided by finance director Laurie Sullivan and comes up about $7,000 short, which he believes the city could easily find.
Christianson was heartened by talk that the proposal for consolidation of the clerk and finance departments may be reconsidered. Toward the end of last weeks meeting, Jenson who voted against the consolidation asked the city attorney about the citys rules for reconsidering an item that has been defeated. Attorney Matt Dregne said there are two ways an issue can be brought back before the council. Under Rule 10, any member who voted with the prevailing side on any question may move for reconsideration immediately after the vote on the question is determined, or at the next succeeding regular meeting. That would be reconsideration of exactly the same resolution that was before the council at the last meeting that was defeated, Dregne explained. Jenson said he interpreted Dregnes answer to mean that he could not ask for reconsideration of the consolidation question last week, because he raised the issue after the council had gone on to other business. Therefore, it was not immediately after the vote on the question. He, or any other alder who voted in the majority, could ask that the question be placed on the council agenda for its next meeting, however. Jenson told the Hub he supports Suess idea about keeping the departments separate and allowing the mayor to assign staff to help where needed. He said if the committee doesnt recommend her proposal, he would likely ask for reconsideration. With Tricias proposal, it would maintain the salary levels and hours of the mayors proposal, Jenson said. If that goes, great. If it doesnt, then thats when reconsideration needs to be brought back up.

Cooksville Lutheran Church hosts Christmas vigil

Hub correspondent
Ecumenical Thanksgiving service slated for Nov. 27

The annual ecumenical Thanksgiving service will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27, at Covenant Lutheran Church, 1525 N. Van Buren St. Clergy and lay people from Covenant and six other Stoughton churches (Christ Lutheran, St. Ann Catholic, First Lutheran, United Methodist, West Koshkonong Lutheran and LakeView) will come together to lead worship, and Father Randy Budnar will preach. Nonperishable food items brought to the service will be donated to the Stoughton Food Pantry, and the monetary offering will be given to the Good Samaritan Fund. Refreshments will be served following worship; all are welcome. Special music will be provided by handbell, vocal and instrumental ensembles. All
The small village of Cooksville will host the inaugural Welcome Christmas Vigil on Sunday, Dec. 1. Starting at 4:30 p.m., the vigil will begin at the historical Cooksville Store where attendees can purchase hot apple cider and sky lanterns to release into the sky during the walk to the vigil service. The walk to the service will officially begin at 4:45 p.m., with caroling and the release of the lanterns along the way. The service itself will begin at 5:30 p.m. at Cooksville Lutheran Church. The event organizer, Cooksville native Jeanne Julseth, said the vigil is a Norwegian tradition. The inspiration came from a tradition that is very well-known in Norway, Julseth said. As the children lead others through the villages of Norway, church bells are ringing and they end up visiting the church in preparation for the coming of the Christ child. Many of the village children have already been rehearsing carols they will sing at the vigil when they pay regular visits to Julseth and her dog, Molly. She encourages any children who wish to participate in the vigil to attend the rehearsal at 10 a.m. on Nov. 30. The children stop by my house daily, Julseth

Attendees of the vigil will be led from the store to the one-room schoolhouse and the commons area, where the sky lanterns will be released. Julseth said people are encouraged to dedicate their lanterns to someone who made their 2013 a little brighter. This vigil is all about light, she said. People should bring candles and flashlights to join in the light celebration. The advent service at the church will include more singing and wind ensemble

In Pauls first epistle to the Corinthians he ranks various offices of the church: God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues. (1 Corinthians 12: 28) From its beginning, Christianity was built on a foundation of helpers and administrators. Jesus appointed 12 disciples and sent them forth two by two, giving them explicit instructions about what to take and what to do. Jesus was Christendoms first administrator and it is clear that there was to be some organization. In the book of Acts we see the beginning of church administration in the period following Jesuss death and resurrection, and we also witness the beginning of divisions within the church, there being disagreements over the issue of circumcision and Jewish dietary law, for instance. There is considerable discussion of these issues in the epistles, but the important thing for us to realize is that there were people who were charged with organizing and leading their church communities, including resolving disputes within the church. We should consider whether we have a knack for organizational leadership and where it might fit into our churchs structure. Can we help our church with our organizational or administrative talents? Christopher Simon via Metro News Service Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Acts 20: 28

Holiday/Black Friday Shopping Tips

Fail to prepare = prepare to fail! Make your holiday shopping trips as successful (and enjoyable!) as possible by following these tips from the National Retail Federation will give you time to check your list and prioritize the rest of the time you have that day.
After Youve Made Your Purchases

Staple a gift receipt to the merchandise tag in case it needs to be returned or exchanged. Keep your original receipts with any warranty paperwork for the life of the warranty. Save yourself the headache: let the charity group at the mall wrap your gifts for you. This will save you a lot of time and free you up to do other things on your holiday to-do lists. Get any packages you are sending to people in the mail right away. Things are only going to get busier When walking through the mall or down Main from here on out! Street, wear comfortable shoes! Youll be walking on SONS OF a lot of marble, concrete and tile. Make sure you have NORWAY water and snacks with you too, or stop for lunch. This
Before Black Friday

Make a list of absolutely everyone you need to buy for and how much you plan to spend on them before visiting any store. Be sure to remember any co-workers, teachers and other non-family and friends. If you know who you need to buy for and how much you can afford to spend, you can make best use of retailers Buy Two Get Third Free type deals. Use the Internet to check and compare prices and products before heading out the door. You can also sign up to receive emails from your favorite retailers. Be vigilant about searching for holiday promotions in newspapers and on their website as well. Not only will you save time by researching ahead of time, youll also save money on gas by not driving all over town. Know retailers return and exchange policies. Return policies vary, so knowing ahead of time whether or not you will have to ship back returns or exchanges or if you can return them to the physical store in your area will help in the long run.

It took three tries, but the Stoughton High School boys basketball team finally was able to move on to state last season with a WIAA Division 2 sectional final win. And as the 2013-14 season begins, the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association has the Vikings pegged as favorites to not only win its third straight Badger South Conference title but also to be contenders for the state title with a No. 10 pre-season ranking. This years team returns nine players, although seniors Brady Brusegar (guard) and Tanner Kahl (forward) are out for the season with torn ACLs suffered earlier this year. But out of the seven healthy players back, two were starters, including All-State honorable mention junior Nick McGlynn. McGlynn (forward) led Stoughton with 394 points, nearly averaging a double-double with 14.8 points per game and 9.9 rebounds. Senior PJ Rosowski (guard), who helped pitch the Stoughton baseball team to state this past spring as well as help the basketball team to state, also returns and will have to step up in the absence of Brusegar. Rosowski finished with 81 points and averaged 3.2 per game and had 2.0 rebounds per game. The rest of the returning class are seniors River Hoaglin (forward), Luke Logan (forward), Will Clark (guard), Austin Scheel (guard) and Zach Zeichert (guard). As with any team, the Vikings will also have to make up for the lost production of graduates Shane Rowley, Ben Gerber, Zach Krueger, Zach Bower, Donald Lehr, Ryan
Streich and Ryan Hausen. Gerber scored 71 points last season, but he was also key on defense, which helped Stoughton overcome a 4-7 start and finish 14-2 on the way to state. We have a lot of tools, but getting the tools working together efficiently is what makes the difference between good teams and great teams, head coach Matt Hockett wrote in a preview questionnaire. Replacing defensive stopper Ben Gerber is a big question mark and a high priority moving into November. The Vikings will also have to find a replacement for Rowley, who was the starting point guard. Rowley was second on the team with 250 points. Bower and Krueger combined for 247 points. Lehr added 48 points off the bench. But unlike last year, when Stoughton had to replace 98 percent of its scoring, it will be different this time with McGlynn, Rosowski, Logan and Clark all contributing offense last season. The loss of Brusegar does leave a hole, but Hockett said the back court experience will still be a key. Though we took a blow losing Brusegar to an ACL injury, we return Clark and Rosowski, who saw extended playing time last February and March. Teamed up with incoming freshman Troy Slaby, who will play a big role for us, this group has a high ceiling. Besides Slaby, newcomers include juniors Bradley Graffin, Alex Zacharias, Brady Wanniger, Ty Krueger, John McCune and Tre McClain.
2012-13 Badger South

Team W-L Stoughton 8-4 Monona Grove 8-4 Monroe 7-5 Oregon 6-6 Madison Edgewood 5-7 Fort Atkinson 4-8 Milton 4-8 That game also marks the last home game until a Jan. 17 matchup with Milton. Stoughton travels to Monroe (Dec. 7), Sauk Prairie (Dec. 13.), Oregon (Dec. 20), Whitewater (Dec. 28), East Troy (Jan. 4), Fort Atkinson (Jan. 7), Monona Grove (Jan. 10) and Oregon again (Jan. 11). Hockett said the rigorous schedule is one of the concerns for the season. But in terms of competing, the three teams Hockett said he believes will be battling for the top spot with the Vikings are Monona Grove, Oregon and Fort Atkinson. MG returns three of its top six scorers from last season. Seniors Mark Nelson Jr. (forward), Tyler Blang (guard) and Nate Hepp (guard) are all back.

Kettle West: Alders debate plan, approve commercial area rezoning

Continued from page 1
That lack of transparency was the reason Alds. Tim Swadley (Dist. 1), Michael Engelberger (D-2), Tom Majewski (D-3) and David Kneebone (D-1) voted against the rezoning last Tuesday. The majority, however, sided with Mayor Donna Olson and city staff. Olson argued that developing Kettle Park West would bring jobs, goods and services to the city. We need to grow our community for our schools and the general benefit of the community, she said. In a pitch to persuade the council, Ald. Eric Hohol (Dist. 4) cited school district statistics that show 1,039 students are currently enrolled at Stoughton High School and only 872 students in the four grades below high school. He said that represents a huge loss in state aid to the district and a troubling sign for the citys future. Hohol said a vote to rezone and allow the project to more forward would be a step to stem the tide of stagnation in the community. Its not just about the big box store, he said. Its about the other businesses and residential development. Hohol also argued that Kettle West is the right place for development and warned that if the city does not fund economic growth, we wont have the money to maintain services.
Lets make a deal
Though the city has made its official declaration that it will allow a big box project on that site a big step considering its history with the Wal-Mart Supercenter project that was withdrawn several years ago it hasnt given up all of its bargaining position. City attorney Matt Dregne reminded the council that language in the ordinance states the zoning shall not be effective until there is a development agreement that addresses the public improvements related to this development. And it has been suggested that some of those public improvements be paid for with tax-increment financing, or TIF, as it will also help improve an already problematic intersection. That process alone could take several months, though planning director Rodney Scheel said he hopes to have a proposal for the council in December or January. Swadley asked finance director Laurie Sullivan to estimate how much the city would have to spend to provide services to the development. He would like to have a discussion in closed session about investing public funds in the project, he said. Dregne reminded Swadley and the rest of the council that the zoning decision was separate and distinct from the discussion of investing public funds. That will come up when you discuss creating a TIF district, he said. You can
Planned Development Zoning

June: Pre-Application Conference Informal Discussion about zoning with the Planning Commission August: Concept Plan Planning Commission Oct. 14: General Development Plan (GDP), including Public Hearing Oct. 22: GDP, Council first reading Nov. 12: GDP, second reading, TBA: Specific Implementation Plan (SIP)
discuss financial issues in closed sessions. City officials began working with the Forward Development Group on the project in September 2010. Since then, the parties have steadily moved ahead by amending the citys urban service area and annexing about 140 acres. But along with that progress has been a growing chorus of voices opposing the project until they know who were dealing with, as Swadley put it. Why isnt the big box willing to reveal their identity? he asked Forward Development Groups development manager, Dennis Steinkraus, at last weeks meeting. We dont have a guarantee of a project yet, Steinkraus replied. Steinkraus told the citys Planning Commission in January this year that his group was close to closing a deal with the big box, which would serve as an anchor in the commercial part of the development. The final step in the zoning process will be considering Specific Implementation Plans for individual parcels in the development. Jenson asked Dregne if the council could hold a public hearing on the SIP. Dregne recommended against that approach. The general development plan sets before the council the general development and what the land can be zoned for, he said. Its a land-use question. The SIP is sitespecific. of the project and urged the council to vote yes to rezoning the property, and four spoke against it. Buzz Davis urged the council to table the matter until the developer tells you who the rezoning is for. Kathleen Kelly said the name of the big retailer is important. Im opposed to doing business in secret, she said. Christa Westerberg said she is concerned about the negative economic impact that a large retailer on the outskirts of town could have on established businesses. This isnt an anti-big box position, she said. Its a pro-information position. But the projects proponents were just as adamant. Chamber of Commerce director Erica Dial spoke on behalf of the chambers board of directors and said the project could be a key component for long-term growth. Scott Truehl, a member of the citys planning commission, noted hes asked lots of questions of the developers, but not the name of the big box because he doesnt think it matters. Were in a unique situation to have a developer that wants to spend millions and invest in our community, he said. Businessmen Rudy Silbaugh and Bob Jenson each talked about their family history in Stoughton and called on the council to support the development. Jenson said like any business, the city needs cash flow. Kettle West will bring that, along with new people, he said.
Whats left
Future items needed for commercial development of Kettle Park West after GDP approval: Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) Planning Commission Certified Survey Map or subdivision platting process Construction plan review sanitary sewer, water, stormwater, street, sidewalks, etc. Public sewer extension approval by CARPC DNR Notice of Intent, Chapter 30 Stormwater Management and Erosion Control DOT approval of plans for work within state rights-of-way Development/TIF agreement Authorize staff to begin agreement discussions July, 2013
back. When Mayor Olson responded that steps the city has taken are all part of the development process, Swadley shot back, Were two-thirds of the way through this process. Majewski said a big concern of his is the vacant storefronts hes seen in downtowns throughout the state as developments have happened on the outskirts of cities. Theres a perception (among residents) that we are not being transparent and fair, he said. I dont think the zoning relies on who the big box is. Its about zoning. He warned, however, that if the council approved rezoning the 35 acres in Kettle West, it could lose the ability to stop the development from going forward. He made a motion to table the matter until we can amend the zoning ordinance so the council can have more input on what happens beyond this. His motion failed 4-8. Lawrence then called the question again, to shut down debate and have a vote. His motion passed 8-4, with the same majority that voted to approve the zoning change.

the meeting, several alders pressed him on the type of development that he planned to bring. Suess asked if its possible to know at what point we could know who the (big box) tenant is? He replied that the retailer would like the zoning in place and know that we can finance the project. He said that typically happens in the SIP phase the third and final step of a plannedunit development process. Selsor asked what kind of developments the group has done in the past, and whether a big-box retailer was part of one of those developments. Steinkraus said Forward Development Group had not done this type of development before. At that point, Hohol attempted to end debate by calling the question, but he failed by one vote to get the required two-thirds of the council to support his motion. Swadley reiterated his position that he wanted to support the development but said he didnt have enough information to make an informed decision. He added that the council had been stonewalled in Public hearing its attempt to learn the name of the retailer and said the In a public hearing prior city is getting so committed to the councils debate, four Looking for info With Steinkraus present at that it becomes hard to turn residents spoke in support

Edith Mae Swenson
Edith Mae Swenson
Edith Mae Swenson, age 74, passed away Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2013, following a brief illness. Edith was born in Stoughton on May 10, 1939, to Edward and Bernice (Danks) Olson. Those who got to know Edith never forgot her. Tiny in stature, she had a huge heart. Her wide-ranging personality went from being silly to stubborn, from sassy to silence. She
could make you laugh out loud one moment but infuriate you the next. As with all of us, she had her quirks and her ups and downs. But most of all, she was just a friendly human being. Edie, or Ma as she was called by some, went out of her way to reach out to anyone within her grasp. Whether it was to the friends of her four cherished children, the people shed see on vacations with Lee, the neighbors at her apartments or at the Nazareth House or even the squirrels in the trees, Edie loved to seek out and touch others. Those who recognized her sincerity shared many moments to remember. No laughter was better than hers when combined with that of her sister, Mary, and brother, Jim. No goofiness exceeded the times when shed egg on Uncle Bob or Uncle Clayton. And no man ever meant more to her than Lee (Pa). After he passed in 1996, she lost a friend who could not be replaced. Yet, Edie moved on with conviction and pride, leaving a path of compassion wherever she went. But life can be hard when punctuated by death. Soon, Edie lost a young daughter-in-law she loved, then a dear daughter and finally her last link to daily love, Abby her cat. Two years ago, she hit rock bottom. But believers know that God works in mysterious ways. She was saved to share her now revived crazy ways with residents and staff at the Nazareth House.
What a glory! A match made in heaven. God even provided a friend named Jerry to share coffee with in the mornings. Life was good. Ma is with Pa now, as well as with so many other loved ones she missed. Her gain is our loss. Well all miss you, Ma. She is survived by her children, Jim (Kristen) of Dubuque, Iowa, Jeff of Janesville, and Ann (Dave) Weaver of Cedarburg; grandchildren, Jessica, Jeremy, Jenny, Jay, Shawn, and Renae; several greatgrandchildren; sister and brother, Mary (Fred) Sundby and Jim (Sue) Olson all of Stoughton; and other extended relatives. She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Bernice; husband, Lee; daughter, Amy; and daughter-inlaw, Jane Swenson. Memorial services were held Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2013, at Cress Funeral Home, Stoughton, with the Rev. Jerry Amstutz officiating.

SASD: Board must decide by

January for spring referendum
Continued from page 1 how much was asked for. In my view, a recurring referendum is preferable, because it makes school funding in Stoughton a lot more predictable, said board member Frank Sullivan. Before Monday nights board meeting, the SASD finance committee discussed referendum topics in depth, and chair Donna Tarpinian said members unanimously agreed to think about a recurring referendum. It bumps us up, it builds our base through time, she said. Then were hoping in four years we dont know whats going to happen at the state level, we have no idea whats going to happen with vouchers, on school privatization, we have no idea
If you go
What: Stoughton Area School District Board of Education meeting When: 7 p.m., Monday, Dec. 2 Where: Administration and Educational Services Center, 320 North St. what our situation is going to look like in the community but at least this would give us some sort of cushion and give us some time.

While a recurring referendum would provide more funding for the district in the future than a non-recurring one, there is a greater chance taxpayers could balk at the ballot box in April. at footing a larger bill. With this in mind, board members will likely schedule a series of community listening sessions to get a better gauge of what district residents want, and what they are willing to pay. My sense is if the community doesnt like this much, then were going to hear it right away, said board president Liz Menzer. We should be able to explain the situation and the two options in about 10 minutes. I think you have to ground people in the facts, like we did in the listening sessions in 2010, where we did presentations, and then people can ask questions. Maybe we do some polling on peoples likelihood of (supporting the referendum). Board member Pat Volk suggested creating focus groups in addition to listening sessions. We could do that fairly quickly parents groups, business leaders select some people to come in and we tell them what were talking about, he said. I think, Do you understand? is the biggest obstacle. Whats the likelihood of a recurring referendum passing? Menzer said she also wants to know what would happen if the referendum does not pass. We havent asked that question, so we need to do some community listening sessions on that notion fairly quickly, she said. I also think the school funding formula is broken and what if a recurring referendum isnt enough? Then what do we do?
