In the past couple of


weeks, Mayor Donna Olson
and her staff have met,
scoured the citys 2015
budget and eliminated a
$306,000 funding gap.
We were able to work
with each department, and

each has really stepped to


the table to bridge the gap
again this year, Olson said
told the Hub on Monday.
It was a lot of collaboration and cooperation by all
to make it work.
The next day, the mayor
presented her proposed
budget with a little more
detail for the Common
Council to review. Between
Oct. 21-30, council has
three meetings scheduled to
debate the budget and make
changes.
With an increase in net

new construction of just


.82 percent, the city will
have about $55,000 more to
spend on services and personnel next year. Thats not
a lot in a budget with a total
revenue allocation of $9.2
million.
Finance director Laurie Sullivan described the
mayors proposed budget as
a good continuing services
budget.
Olson agreed: Its very

accomplishment was in
bringing most of what
was below the line back up
above the line, with help
from those departments by
cutting in some other areas,
or taking advantage of
some additional revenues,
Olson said.
I cant point to one big
thing and say that was what
did it, she added. Its a
lot of working with departments and going through
their offers and finding
ways that we can cut back

Several key components


of the Kettle Park West
development will be up for
discussion and approval
later this month.
Public hearings for the
tax-increment financing
plan and specific details
for the Wal-Mart and
Kwik Trip lots will be held
at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27.
Both elements will need
council approval, but the
public hearing is a formal
opportunity for public
input.
The TIF project plan
estimated at about $7.4
million will lay out
details how the new revenue generated by the
development would be
used to pay for public
improvement in Kettle
Park West. The specific

(SIPs) for the two businesses will detail what

Expo is hit with area seniors, Elvis fans


The Sixth Annual Senior Expo, held at the Stoughton Wellness and Athletic Center on Wednesday, Oct.
8, featured exhibits, vendors, lunch, music, bingo and door prizes.
Below, the event was full of colorful Wisconsin Badger spirit thanks to Ann Femrite, Vi Bergum and
Caroline Erickson, who drove from Madison. Femrite and Bergum have been fixtures at the event in
recent years, with their colorful sports-themed outfits (they have a surprise for next year), and were

In a $14 million budget,
that $300,000 is not insurmountable.
Non-represented
employees would get a 3
percent across-the-board
raise next year if the mayors budget is adopted. But
theyll also be contributing
more to their health insurance premiums.
Theyre paying a percentage now rather than a
flat dollar amount, Olson
said, so that as things
change, that percentage
changes, as well.
The city will get some
help from the state by way

Letters to the editor

There are two sides to the Wal-Mart debate


As I read the Letters to the Editor section in the Sept. 26 issue,
I find it odd that all three letters
were written on how bad WalMart is for Stoughton.
In all three letters it was all the
negatives that were mentioned. I
like to approach a situation or an
issue with the fact that there are
two sides to them.
Lets start with the first inaccurate statement low wages compared to what? A doctor? A lawyer? Or to other retail employees
in Stoughton. Take a survey and
do some comparisons and see if
this point is valid.
Next item that was mentioned
Products. Wal-Mart products
are low quality, unhealthy, made
overseas. So you are implying
that the products in all the other
stores in Stoughton are of a superior quality and only made in the
United States. Go buy 10 items in
Ace Hardware, Aslesons and all
the shops on Main Street, and lets
compare where they were made.
Wal-Marts reputation as a
large corporation with huge profits. Finally, I have one that I can
agree with you. But to what did
you compare it too to the little
shops on main street, or to Target,
Boston Store, Sears. These may

Submit a letter

not have as big of sales that WalMart has, but the profit ratio to
sales determines the success and
will show that these corporations
are making huge profits.
And if they did not make a
profit, they will not have growth.
Thats why Kwik Trip can put two
and three stores in a community.
Do we need another Kwik Trip?
Not really, but they feel they can
better serve Stoughton.
And Wal-Mart just might be
thinking that with a new store,
that not only the 82 percent will
be served, but everybody. I know
the aisles will be wider and more
products will be offered and
that will benefit all residents of
Stoughton. I know nobody has
ever shopped at the existing WalMart at a busy period, so they
cant imagine how a person in a
wheel chair feels or a senior with
a walker feels like trying to navigate in those aisles. And lets not
forget the veterans, which there
are many, confined to a wheel
chair.
I could go on and address other
issues in the letter, but there are
rules when submitting a letter.

crucial services, we have fewer
Stoughton Courier Hub
choices than most cities our
Oregon Observer Verona Press
size do.

The citys current budgeting model, Budgeting for Outcomes, or BFO, has some nice
features, focusing on priorities
rather than percentage increases
and providing an automatic
public outreach component with
focus groups. That emphasizes
efficiency and helps keep the
lines of communications clear.
But its still a year-by-year
budget process and it still
doesnt solve any long-term
problems; it only helps push
immediate priorities to the top
or the bottom of the list. And
BFO really can only address
discretionary priorities, of
which there simply arent many
to go around.
What Stoughton really needs
in the next couple of years is
some long-range thinking that
follows a similar approach to
BFO.
It might very well be that the
general citizenry would rather
let things go as they are than
take the chance of investing
money into improving known
problems, such as roads, limited
industrial park space, limited
housing growth potential and a
downtown that simply isnt as
vital as it could or should be.
But its a conversation we
should have.
Yes, there are ways of finding money to do such things if
the public wills it. As with the
school district, there could be
a referendum, or the city could
simply opt to borrow for capital
investments if theres a reason
to believe theyll pay off in a
few years. It could even tinker
with its accounting, putting
extra weight on funds that are
not state-limited.
But all involve making a
choice of whether investing
in the city in improving services, encouraging development, upgrading aesthetics
or infrastructure will reap
rewards before that credit card
bill comes due. And that means

having a discussion with voters,


a frank and open debate about
priorities for the next several
years perhaps a decade and
not just about next years.
Its easy for most citizens to
sit back and say 10 years is a
long time and that our own situations will change, as will the
overall economy, but most of us
probably would have said the
same thing in 2004, when we
were having the same argument
about Wal-Mart and the possible development of the Linnerud property as an economic
stimulus. The choices made or
avoided 10 years ago are affecting the choices that we have
today, and those are not likely
to change in the future unless
we will it.
Would things be different
today if Stoughton schools had
been better funded at that time?
If Stoughton roads had been
better funded?
If Stoughton had put more
resources into growth and
aggressive economic development?
Would we instead be choked
with taxes to the point where
people left the city because of
it?
Its one thing for the city to
have Budgeting for Outcomes
focus groups that determine
theyd rather cut $5,000 here
than $5,000 there, but if there is
any inkling that voters wish to
invest in quality-of-life or longterm goals, well need a different sort of discussion.
Its something our community
editorial board will consider
in the upcoming months and
something all community-minded people should think about in
the meantime.
Next month, the editorial
board will discuss Kettle Park
West and what the city can
do to make the most out of its
existing commitments.

Local groups and businesses have been working


for years to increase the
number of visitors to the
community through a program called Destination
Stoughton.
The hard work seems to
be paying off this time in
the form of international
visitors.
Given the areas ancestry, its not uncommon for
folks from overseas to visit
Stoughton. But the group
coming next weekend is
working with the Friends
of Scandinavian Culture
and will be in town to be
part of the annual rosemaling sale and destination
weekend.
The purpose is to help
them learn more about the
Stoughton community, our
connections to Norwegian
heritage and culture, and
our SHS Norwegian Dancers, Sons of Norway Mandt Lodge president Darlene
Arneson said. They arrive
on Wednesday and leave
the next Tuesday after visiting stores, businesses,
city staff, schools, touring
and experiencing our Destination Stoughton Weekend.
The weekend involves
a performance by the
Stoughton High School
Norwegian Dancers, Norwegian music, local shopping, cultural and dining
events, and the annual
Wisconsin State Rosemaling Associations Holiday

Asking Questions and


Accepting Answers
How often do you ask someone
a question when you already know
the answer and just want to be reassured that you are on the right track?
Sometimes we need feedback from our
boss or our teacher that we are completing a task or doing our work correctly. Getting feedback is prudent if
we think we might be going down the
wrong path, but having to be constantly
reassured is tiresome and frustrating
to those who are being asked the same
question over and over again. When we
really dont know the answer to important questions we should be quick to
ask, but also willing to accept that we
might not like the answer we get. If we
are genuinely interested in knowing how
we look, or how we are doing at work
or at school, we should accept the bitter
truth that we might not look so great,
or that were performing below par in
certain areas of our lives. Knowledge
can be a bitter pill, but if we want to
improve, and all of us should certainly
want this, we should ask questions of
those who will tell us the truth. We can
always ask ourselves these hard questions, but we should realize that we are
usually our easiest critics. Its easy to
see the speck in someone elses eye
while missing the log in our own.
Christopher Simon via Metro News

Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but
the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

Lake level draw down planned


Boaters and lake front
property owners should
be aware that the lakes
will be lowered to summer
minimum levels in preparation for winter ice and
snow pack.
On or around Nov. 1,
all lakes will transition
to their respective winter
operating levels.
Water levels on Lakes
Mendota, Monona and
Waubesa are currently
above target summer midrange. As a result, flow
out of Babcock Dam will
be maintained in order
to lower the upper three
lakes to their respective
summer minimum water
levels.
Flow out of LaFollette
Dam will be maintained in
order to keep Lake Kegonsas water level above
summer minimum. Lock
gates at Lafollette are
closed while the lock gates
at Babcock will remain
open for navigation.
There is no certainty
that precipitation will
raise the lakes above
their current levels, so
lake users should monitor water levels to make

sure they can remove their


boats and piers beforethe
end of October.
Crews began removing
navigational beacons in
lakes and along the Yahara River chain this week.
All buoys will be removed
by Nov. 1. It is important
that boaters remain alert
for underwater hazards
that may damage watercraft in the late fall and
early spring.

City native Ken Wahlin


needs little introduction in
Stoughton. He, of course,
is a member of the family that founded and operates Stoughton Trailers,
the citys largest employer.
His parents, Don and Carol Wahlin, launched the
company that would later
become Stoughton Trailers
in 1961.
Kens role is managing
director of STI Holdings,
the company that owns
Stoughton Trailers.
For the past seven years,
Ken Wahlin has also served
on the governing board
and Executive committee
of stoughton Hospital. He
was a board trustee his first
five years on the Governing Board and became its
chairman two years ago.
His tenure on the board
will end next month; after
that, hell become an ex
officio member.
Wahlin was surprised at
the governing boards last
meeting Sept. 23, when he
learned that the Wisconsin
Hospital Association had
named him 2014 Trustee of
the Year.
The prestigious award
is presented to only one
community hospital board
trustee and one health system board trustee in Wisconsin annually.
Wahlin told the Hub he
was humbled and honored
for the recognition, but he
also felt that it was very
undeserved.
Terry Brenny and
his staff really do all the
work, Wahlin said. And
the little bit of work that

Or these devices that can

do you handle it?

Theres been an awful
lot of changes with the
Affordable Care Act and
with rates of reimbursement for government programs with hospitals, as
well as changes in private

So its a lot. The first
thing that surprised me
about the hospital is how
heavily regulated that business is. I thought our business was tough; this ones

Sullivan gave a preview of


that Monday.
The draft plan calls for
about $7.4 million, much
of which would go toward
improvements to the commercial sites and roadways
surrounding the area.
The on-site costs or
roughly $1.6 million are all
slated to be used for stormwater management. Off-site
costs totaling about $3 million include improvements
to U.S. Hwy. 51, Hwy. 138
and Jackson Street. Another $2.8 million would be
used for interest expense,
a developer cash grant and
other administrative costs.
That includes a $550,000
cash grant to be used as
incentive to have the first
phase completely built out
instead of just the first four
buildings.
Sullivan said city staff
believe the development
will be able to cover those
costs, even if the citys mill
rate remains the same as
this year throughout the life
of the TIF district.
She said that if only the
first four buildings are
built including Wal-Mart
and Kwik Trip the development would add about
$18.1 million in new value.
If the entire phase 1 development is built, the new
value would be about $34.3
million by the year 2020.
If the citys estimate
holds true, the development
would generate enough
income to support the TIF Wal-Mart, Kwik Trip

the general development
plan would alter where
stormwater is held and
would remove one developable lot from the west side
of the project.
The first major change to
the approved general development plan would be to
move a stormwater pond
that was proposed between
Wal-Mart and Jackson
Street, siting it more to the
west and slightly further
north. This would create
another developable lot
along Jackson Street that
would be about 2.5 acres.
Meanwhile, a lot along
Hwy. 138 west of the
Wal-Mart lot will likely
not be developed, Scheel
said. This is because the
Wisconsin Department of
Transportation was reluctant to approve an access
point along the highway, he
told the commission Monday night. The land would
be left undeveloped and
would likely be used as a
natural space that might
count toward the landscape

City attorney Matt

Rumors last weekend. The show continues this Thursday through
Saturday. Above, Ken (Dan Prueher), left, tells Lenny (Patrick Fernan),

A movie will come to


life on the Stoughton High
School stage as students
perform Shrek the Musical, based off of the popular
Dreamworks movie, Shrek.
For those not familiar with
the plot, Shrek is about an
ogre whose home, a swamp,
has been taken from him by
King Farquaad. Shrek sets out
for the castle to confront King
Farquaad.
Along the way, he meets
a character by the name of
Donkey who refuses to leave
his side. Once this comical
pair reaches the castle and
confronts the king, he sends
them on another journey to
save Princess Fiona, whom
the king wishes to marry.
The two manage to save the
princess from a fire-breathing
dragon and find love along
the way, which creates a conflict for Shrek.
The play will feature Leo
Endres as Shrek, Jack Greenwood as Donkey, Thomas
Greenler as Lord Farquaad,
and Bethany Kelly as Princess Fiona.
For the dragon and the
gingerbread man, there are
puppets created by DeeDee
Bouzek, director of the play,
and Kyra Carbone, a student
at SHS. The dragon will be
controlled by Kirsten Nett as
well as five other SHS students, while the gingerbread
man will be controlled by
Maddie Jensen.
Throughout the whole
adventure, the cast will be
singing and dancing to songs
from the movie such as Im
a believer and Welcome to
Duloc. They will also perform songs that were written just for the play such as

who is in charge of technical
direction.

I think its super exciting because

Halverson said of qualifying for state.
That should make it even more fun.
Having been friends for so long,
both agreed it helped the transition to
playing doubles together for the first
time this season.
I think we just slowly progressed,

but I think when we played Edgewood at conference (for the second


time), we really picked up our communication skills, Kahl said.
Halverson and Kahl added a 6-0,

Stolen finishes tied for 12th at state

Senior Ashli Stolen (purple hat) tries to keep focus while waiting near
the second tee during a rainstorm Tuesday, Oct. 14, during the WIAA
Division 1 state girls golf tournament. Stolen finished tied for 12th with a
161 (77-84).

Senior Ashli Stolen battled


through the toughest conditions
of the year Tuesday at the WIAA
Division 1 state girls golf meet.
As chaotic 35-mph winds and
sheets of rain wreaked havoc at
University Ridge Golf Course, Stolen kept calm and focused on her
back nine parring the second hole
and getting a birdie on the third.
Despite a triple bogey on her last
hole, Stolen finished tied for 12th
overall with a 161 (77-84).
I know that I have potential to
be in the top eight or even the top
five, but the conditions were really
tough today, and I battled it out and
am happy with my score, she said.

For much of the day, the fairways


and greens felt like walking on wet
sponges, and the high winds forced
the field to slow down causing
40-minute waits between some
holes.
But Stolen was still able to finish
with nine pars and a birdie in round
2. She just missed the heavy rains
in the first round, Monday. Stolen
had 10 pars and two birdies in that
round.
I am super proud with how she
played, head coach Dave Taebel
said. She hit the ball great, and she
controlled her emotions. She was
just a rock out there.
She represented our team and
our school and our town tremendously.
Stolen was a letterwinner all four

years of her high school career, and


she came a long way from then to
this years state tournament.
In her first year, she shot triple
digits several times, but she worked
every summer and was able to bring
that average down to the low 80s/
high 70s.
She is a model of improvement,
Taebel said. To see how far she
has come as a player and where she
is at now, it shows she put in the
time and effort to get better.
That improvement also means
that colleges started to take notice
in Stolen. She said that she plans on
playing golf at the next level.
I am hoping that now that the
golf season is done, I can focus
more on picking a college, Stolen
said.

Vikings nearly upset Milton


in conference tournament
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

The Stoughton High


School volleyball team may
have went 1-2 in Saturdays
Badger South Conference
tournament at Milton High
School, but that doesnt
mean the Vikings didnt perform well.
Six-seeded Stoughton
nearly upset third-seeded
Milton in the first match,
and the Vikings held leads in
both sets of the third match
against Madison Edgewood.
The Vikings were unable
to finish those matches,
however, falling to Milton
2-1 (25-23, 10-25, 12-15)
and Edgewood 2-0 (20-25,
18-25).
Stoughton did stave off
elimination in its second
match with a 2-0 (25-17,
25-16) win over Monroe.
The girls played well
all day, head coach Kelly
Sorensen said. They played
a lot more consistent, and the
team chemistry was better
than it has been all season.
Junior Hannah Hobson
had 20 kills for the tournament, including a .538 hitting percentage against
Edgewood (7 kills, 0 errors,
13 attempts). Sophomore
Rachel Hedman added seven
kills against Milton, while
sophomore Kassidy McMillan picked up five against
Monroe.
Senior Lindsey Bach had

38 total assists for the tournament, while sophomore


Maggie Wirag picked up 11
against Milton.
Senior Olivia Dorscheid
had seven digs against Milton and two aces against
Monroe. Senior Annie Fergus picked up nine digs and
two aces against Monroe.
Freshman Tessa Berry had
seven digs and an ace against
Edgewood.
Regionals begin Thursday,
Oct. 23. Stoughtons seeding
meeting was Wednesday,
after the Courier Hubs deadline. Follow @UNG_AIozzo

I look at regionals just
like we looked at the conference tournament. It is a fresh
start, Sorensen said. The
girls have done a really good
job of looking past previous
losses and looking to the
future.
We will work hard, play
together and play with heart
no matter what team we end
up getting.

The Vikings traveled to
Waunakee on Tuesday and
won 3-1 (25-13, 25-27,

The Vikings turned the


ball over three times and
allowed the visiting Monona
Grove Silver Eagles to throw
a touchdown pass on fourthand-20 en route to a 35-7 Badger South Conference loss.
Stoughton defensive back
Josh Hitchcock abruptly
ended the Silver Eagles first
drive, intercepting senior
quarterback Steven Martine
on a tipped pass.
The Vikings promptly gave
the ball back on a fumble
and then muffed the kickoff,
which led to two Monona
Grove touchdowns in four
seconds.
It doesnt matter who you
play, Stoughton head coach
Jason Thiry said. You turnover the ball like that, youre
going to find yourself in a
deep hole.

Toren Young racked up 93
yards and three rushing touchdowns on 12 carries. Brady
Blang accounted for another
rushing touchdown and a

Despite the final score,
Stoughton played even with
Monona Grove through the
final three quarters.
Alex Zacharias scored on a
3-yard surge up the middle in
the third before MG tacked
on an insurance score in the
fourth.
We fought the rest of the
game, theres no doubt about
that, Thiry said. We just had
some really bad turnovers and
I dont have an answer for that
right now.
The Vikings (3-5 overall) fell to 3-2 in conference

The first thing our kids
have to do tonight is to go
home and realize, they got
beat, Thiry said. We cant
make any excuses. The fact of
the matter is this MG beat us
on our own field.
There is a really good

Swimming women keep home streak alive

Junior Sophie Pitney (29:57) was the


Vikings only medal winner Saturday at the
Warrior Sprinter Fall Festival Swim Invite,
finishing a little over two-tenths of second off
the pace of River Valley senior Kelli Liegel
(29:35) in the 50-yard butterfly.Pitney also
finished fifth in the 50 backstroke (31.93).
Stoughtons highest relay was the 200 medley relay where junior Shaylee Kooima, senior
Annie Hudkins, sophomore Averie Ness and
Pitney swam to fourth place in 2:09.88.
We changed that relay up a bit since Maddie is battling some shoulder issues and can
only swim free events, McLaury said. Shaylee Kooima had a great meet, first filling in
for her sister on the 200 medley relay before
swimming to best times in the 100 backstroke
(1:15.48), dropping :02 and the 100 freestyle
(1:05.60).
McLaury said the meet was fun to break up
the hardest part of the season.
It is a sprint meet and allows for the girls
to swim some more 50s in the meet but yet
allowing them to choose some off events to try
without the pressure of scoring points for the
team, she said.
Other personal bests came from Rebecca
leading off 100 back (1:23.01), Sophomore
Colena Sankbeil (1:11.08) and freshman Sandra Blackburn (1:08.01) in the 100 free and
freshman Aubrey Schleppenbach in the 100

Staffen wins invitational, hopes to


lead Vikings to conference title
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Senior Nikki Staffen won the Baertschi Invitational in Albany on Saturday


and in doing so led the Stoughton girls
cross country team to victory as well.
Staffen, who hadnt won a race prior
to securing the last two Verona sectional
titles, finished seven seconds ahead of
Boscobel senior Keely Foley on the 5k
course in a meet-best 19 minutes, 24 seconds.
The Vikings went on to place all five
of their varsity scorers in the top 34 to
take top honors with 80 points out of the
12 teams competing.
Deerfield/Cambridge (95) finished
15 points behind the Vikings in second
place, while Mount Horeb (119) rounded
out the top three.
Senior Megan Reese followed Staffen

to the line in 20:54, finishing eighth overall as the teams second runner.
Nikki and Megan are running the best
they have in four years and our runners
are motivated by them, Stoughton head
coach Susan Zaemisch said.
Sophomore Augustyna Brestar (21:21)
stepped up to finish as the Vikings third
runner in 11th place with Aly Weum out
of the lineup.
Freshman Paige Halverson also continued to ascend the ranks, finishing 26th
with a time of 21:29.
Senior Ellen Janda rounded out the
varsity scoring on Saturday, finishing
34th in 22:24. Fellow senior Katie Roe
also competed, but did not score.
The Vikings JV team was also victorious, placing all five runners in the top
nine to edge Oregon 35-40. Sophomore
Maya Lonnebotn finished fifth to lead
the pack in 22:52.

Stoughton was without Clea Roe, who


had other commitments out of town over
the weekend, and Weum, who Stoughton
head coach Susan Zaemisch decided to
rest due to sickness earlier in the season
and a tight hamstring.
Aly is a tough competitor and will be
ready to race Saturday, Zaemisch said.
Kelsey Jenny will also be running at
Lake Farm Park along Lake Waubesa
for the Badger South Conference meet
at 10:10 a.m., Friday, Oct. 18. Stoughton
and Madison Edgewood are the favorites
to battle for the conference title.
I like where our team stands right
now, Zaemisch said. They are focused
and determined to win conference. The
last three weeks workouts have had a
purpose and the girls look really fast.
They have pulled together as a team
and they know they are stronger as a
team than they are individually.

Allie Niemeyer led a

and later took the 500 free

in 5:42.55 during her final


home meet.
She later joined Maddie

the most exciting race of the
evening, touching out Monroe by just over two-tenths

Niemeyer joined Maddie

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Sophomore Owen Roe


finished sixth overall and
second among large school
competitors at Saturdays
Baertschi Invitational in
Albany.
Roe covered the 5k course
in 17 minutes, 19 seconds
to guide the Vikings to a
first-place finish amongst 13
large schools teams.
The win was the programs first victory since
2000, head coach Pat
Schneider said.
It is a great confidencebuilder for the boys going
into conference, Schneider said.It showed that the
training we have been doing
is working.
Stoughton placed all five
of its runners in the top 26 to
finish with 63 points.
The victory gave Stoughton both the boys and girls
titles Saturday.
Badger South Conference
rival Oregon finished six
points behind the Vikings
with 69 points. Deerfield/
Cambridge (74) meanwhile
rounded out the top three.
Sophomore Garrett Model
finished 15th overall as the
teams second runner in
17:40, while fellow sophomore Tristan Jenny placed
just outside the top 20, taking 21st in 17:54.

Senior Ryan Sperle


secured a 36th-place finish
in 18:17, while freshman
Sean McLaury placed 47th
overall in 18:32 as Stoughtons final varsity scorer.
Freshman Carson Fleres
and junior Gabe Ross both
competed on varsity, but did
not score.
We only beat Oregon
by five points at Albany
and we have gone back and
forth with Monona Grove
all year, Schneider said.I
think the boys know that
they can run with almost
anyone in the conference
and that we have a lot of
potential.
Stoughtons JV team finished with 41 points 19
behind first-place Oregon.
The Vikings were led by
junior Collin Kraus, who
won the JV race in 18:46
and earned a varsity spot for
conference.
The Vikings travel to
Lake Farm Park along Lake
Waubesa for the Badger
South Conference meet at
10:10 a.m., Oct. 18.
All year long I have said
that second place is a reasonable, but a tough goal,
Schneider said. There will
be very little separating second through fifth place. It
will all come down to what
team comes in healthy and
ready to race.We have the
potential to be that team.

Marilyn Joan Midthun


Marilyn Joan Midthun,
age 86, passed away on
Monday September 29,
2014 at her home surrounded by her family. She was
born on May 27, 1928 in
Stoughton, WI. The daughter of Wilmer and Norma
(Moe) Rein. She married
Thorlife Midthun on February 20, 1949. Together
they farmed in the town of
Pleasant Springs for many
years.
Marilyn was a stay at
home Mom that raised three
children and helped out

her work with energy and


efficiency while learning
how to use early versions
of IBM desktop computers. She was proud of her
professional achievements.
Elaine also devoted time to
helping those in need as a
member of the hospital auxiliary in Stoughton.
Throughout her life,
Elaine believed in God
and attended church regularly. She was raised a
Lutheran by her parents
and remained a loyal supporter of the denomination
until her death. She taught
Sunday school, donated
time and resources to a
number of churches, read
the Bible and other religious literature, and always
attempted to follow the
dictates of the faith in her
daily life. Religious music
was very important to her,
and she loved to play it on
the piano. She attended
Grace Lutheran Church in
Green Bay, Bethel Lutheran
Church in Hudson, Christ
Lutheran Church in Stoughton, and St. Paul Lutheran
Church in Baraboo.
Faith in God helped
Elaine on a daily basis. In
the early 1960s, she began
to suffer from rheumatoid
arthritis, a painful autoimmune disorder. It took a
horrible toll on her body but
never affected her indomitable will to press on with
the help of God.
Besides her brother
Emery (Sturgeon Bay),
Elaine is survived by her
daughter Linda (Baraboo),
and two sons, Mark
(Stoughton) and Brian

(Stevens Point). Her survivors include five grandchildren: Haley (Baraboo),


Isaac (Stoughton), Justin
(Stoughton), Lucas (Edgerton), and Saskia (Stevens
Point).
She is also survived by
her daughters-in-law, Linda
Jo (Stoughton) and Sabine
(Stevens Point).
A short memorial service took place on Oct. 9 at
Grace Lutheran Church presided over by Pastor Julie
Wrubbel-Lange, and Elaine
was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery at Green
Bay after a brief grave site
service conducted by Pastor
Julie. Elaine was preceded
in death by her husband.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her
name to the Sunday school
program at Grace Lutheran Church in Green Bay
or sent to the Community
State Bank in Baraboo for
distribution.
The family would like to
thank Dr. Erich Marks and
the nurses of the University of Wisconsin Hospital,
especially Melissa. They
provided exemplary care to
Elaine during the last week
of her life. Thanks also go
to Pastor Bob at the hospital and the staff at the
Newcomer Funeral Home
of Green Bay who helped
the family in their time of
sorrow. Elaine was a regal
person throughout her life,
and she will be missed by
everyone who knew her.

PUBLIC NOTICE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR
DRINKING WATER

Monitoring Requirements Not Met


for Stoughton Waterworks
We are required to monitor your
drinking water for specific contaminants
on a regular basis. Results of regular
monitoring are an indicator of whether
or not your drinking water meets health
standards. Between 07/01/2014 and
09/30/2014, we did not monitor at any of
the wells for coliform bacteria contaminants, and therefore cannot be sure of
the quality of your drinking water during
that time.
What precautions should be taken
at this time?
There are no special precautions
you need to take at this time. However, it
is important to remember that the quality of your drinking water is not known
at this time.
What was the cause of the missed
monitoring requirements?
Monitoring assignments were misinterpreted.
What is being done to correct the
problem?
Monitoring schedules have been
placed on a 12-month electronic calendar and are included in our work order
system that is available to all operators.
When will the problem be resolved?
Full resolution has been achieved
as all monitoring occurred on October 3,
2014 and the safe results was reported
on October 4, 2014.
If you have questions regarding
the safety of our drinking water, please
