Scientists:
Lower
Kegonsa
expectations
At the bottom of a troubled
watershed, Stoughtons lake is
tough to clean up
KATE GOLDEN
Wisconsin Center for Investigative
Journalism
All lakes are not created
equal. And in the Madison
areas Yahara chain, Lake
Kegonsa is the redheaded
steplake.
Watershed managers and
scientists from Green Bay to
Japan are watching Madisons
current efforts to clean up its
algae-beset chain of lakes
Mendota; Monona, and its
contributor, Wingra; Waube-
sa; and Kegonsa, in order of
drainage.
Whats going on in our
watershed is actually cutting-
edge, said Steve Carpenter,
director of the Center for Lim-
nology at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. If we
can do it here, then our portfo-
lio of tools can be exported. It
is a laboratory for innovation.
The plan for the lakes is to
starve the algae and clear up
the water. Led by the nonprof-
it Clean Lakes Alliance and
involving many watershed
Kegonsa is a sad story, and I wish I could think of something more positive to say about it.

Grad rates
on the rise
Stoughton has gone from
average to far above in
seven years
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group
When it comes to measuring the
success of schools, the percentage of
students who graduate is at the top
of the list. And both across the state
and in the Stoughton School Dis-
trict, those numbers have continued a
recent trend of improvement.
According to a press release last
week from the Wisconsin Depart-
ment of Instruction (DPI), public
schools in the state have continued an
upward trend in high school gradua-
tion rates, reaching 88 percent during
the 2012-13 school year.
State superintendent Tony Evers
said the numbers confirm national
reports that put the state among the
best in the nation for graduation
rates. According to the National Cen-
ter for Education Statistics, Wiscon-
sin is tied for second with its 2012-
13 rate of 88 percent.
Earning a high school diploma is
critical to the next steps in a young
persons life (getting) ready for col-
lege and careers, he said. Through
the hard work of teachers, school
staff members, parents and the stu-
dents themselves, we are making
progress to improve graduation rates
for all students.
Nowhere is that more evident than
the Stoughton School District, where
high school graduation numbers have
risen each year from around the state
average in 2006 (85.6 percent) to
97.3 percent during the most recently
calculated 2012-13 school year.

The hurricane
of 1914 recalled
Deadly storm
leveled ski slide,
hundreds of farms
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Many folks remember
the Class F3 tornado that
cut a half-mile swatch
of death and devastation
t hrough t he St ought on
area on Aug. 18, 2005, but
nearly 100 years ago, a
similar storm thats all but
faded from local memory
caused quite a mess.
According to the May 11
edition of the Stoughton
Daily Courier-Hub, one
man was killed, two were
injured and hundreds
of farms were wrecked
by what the newspaper
termed a hurricane.
The gale uprooted
or snapped off scores of
t rees, wrecked numer-
ous chimneys, laid low
t he i mmense st eel ski
slide that had been the
pride of the local ski club,
inflicted damage on the
high school to the extent
of several hundred dollars
and throughout the city
wrought damage to prop-
erty in various ways.
The storm hit a home
where John and his brother
Ole Sveum were at, killing
John and causing severe
scalp and arm wounds to
Ole. John Sveum was the
only listed fatality from
the storm.
A Mr. Showers describes
holding onto a barn post
for dear l i fe when t he
winds struck, and said he
thought the force would
break his legs. At the high
school, Clara Alme was
injured by flying debris.
At t he Mandt wagon
works, a 450-foot shed
was destroyed, with lum-
ber blown across the river
into a nearby pasture. Mrs.
John Hogie was caught
outside and was blown a
distance of some ten rods,
landing against the porch
of a dwelling with such
force as to fracture a rib,
according to the article.
Mail carrier Roy Shet-
ter said 46 tobacco sheds
and two barns on his route
al one wer e damaged.
Some 300 telephones were
put out of service, includ-
i ng pract i cal l y every
farm l i ne on t he l ocal
exchange, and telegraphs
were down as well. With
power knocked out, the
newspaper also was under
somewhat of a handi -
cap getting out our Daily
today.
Even the mayor wasnt
immune to the damage,
having an immense oak
tree snap and fall onto
the porch of the mayors
handsome new residence,
completely crushing it.
Main Street closures planned for parades
Through traffic along
U.S. Hwy 51 will have to
take a detour during certain
times this weekend.
Main Street will be closed
in downtown Stoughton
twice in order to allow for
two parades.
Stoughton Police Depart-
ment Lt. Pat Conlin wrote
in a news release the Wis-
cons i n Depar t ment of
Transportation approved to
closures:
1:15-2:15 p.m. Satur-
day, May 17, for the youth
parade
1:30 p.m. 2:30 p.m.
Sunday, May, 18 for the
Norwegian parade
Detour signs will be in
place during both parades.
Traffic is advised to use
Hwy. B north of the city to
avoid the downtown area.
The Saturday parade will
close Main Street between
Monroe Street and Fourth
Street. The Sunday parade
will block the thoroughfare
from Fifth Street to Gjert-
son Street.
Traffi c t ravel i ng i nt o
Stoughton is encouraged
to use the free shuttle from
the high school parking
lot to get downtown. The
free shuttle makes several
stops downtown including
the fire station, River Bluff
Middle School and near the
festival tent.
Signs will also direct vis-
itors to designated parking
areas downtown.

Bigger than
the 05
tornado?
According to the
Wisconsin Historical
Society, the August
18, 2005 tornado that
blew through the area
was one of 27 docu-
mented in the state
that day, the most in
Wisconsins recorded
history. The most
significant, by far, was
the one that developed
near Fitchburg, pass-
ing through Stoughton
with maximum
intensity, damaging
240 homes, causing
an estimated $44
million in property
damage, killing one
person and injuring 23
others. Debris from
Stoughton was found
as far away as two
counties to the east.

Traffic will be detoured twice this weekend to make way on Main Street for two parades. Through traffic should use Hwy. B north of the
city to avoid the downtown during these two events.

Scouts are on it
Scouts from Cub Scout Packs 161 and 162, Boy Scout Troops 164
and 167, and Venture Crew 559, at right, collected 3,114 pounds of
food and personal care items for The City of Stoughton Food Pantry
last month.
A smaller group of Scouts, above, helped weigh, check expira-
tion dates, and sort and shelve the collected food. The City of
Stoughtons Food Pantry Mission is to assist those in need of food
who reside in the Stoughton Area School District.
The City of Stoughton Food Pantry distributes 12,000 pounds of
food to approximately 200 families each month.

County announces early
childhood program for Stoughton
SCOTT GIRARD
An early childhood initia-
tive to promote readiness
for Kindergarten will come
to Stoughton.
The program, a partner-
ship between Dane County
and United Way of Dane
County, was announced in
the fall as a way to close
the countys achievement
gap, or the difference in test
scores along racial or socio-
economic lines.
The Bor n Lear ni ng
Mobilization Plan will
focus on 13 county commu-
nities, including Stoughton.
United Way will contribute
$1.7 million in 2014 to the
program, along with around
$1 million from the county
for the initiative.
The plan creates an Ear-
ly Childhood Zone for
those 13 areas. The Madi-
son Leopold area, Verona
and Sun Prairie have begun
or will begin the programs
in the near future as the first
three communities.
The most visible part
of the plan is a play and
learn for children 5-year-
old and under and their
caregivers. The two-hour
sessions must be attended
by both the child and a
caregiver, at no charge.
United Way director of
community impact Kathy
Hubbard said the sessions
focus on teaching parents
or caregivers how to build
relationships with their
children, with a focus on
children from lower-income
fami l i es who are oft en
taken care of by families,
friends or neighbors rather
than in a structured daycare
environment.
The time includes group
activities such as circle
time as well as free time
for children to play with
toys, which Hubbard noted
are always non-electronic
and encourage imagina-
tion.
The program ai ms t o
ensure children are cared
for and have fun as they
prepare for school, United
Way of Dane County presi-
dent Leslie Ann Howard
said at a press conference
earlier this month in Vero-
na.
Weve got to impact
children and their brains
before the age of 3, How-
ard said. Disparities in
achievement really start
early.
Howard pointed to statis-
tics showing that the differ-
ences for children from pro-
fessional families to more
financially troubled ones
can be as large as having
had 1,000 hours of reading
experience compared to just
25 hours or a 10,000-word
vocabul ar y ver sus 800
words. Those disparities
can leave children already
two years behind some of
their peers by the age of 5,
she said.
The plan calls for five
targeted areas to improve
childrens readiness, with
a goal of 80 percent of
4-year-olds at age-expected
development and ready to
begin school by 2020.
According to United Way
statistics, only 60 percent
of children in the Madi-
son Metropolitan School
District scored ready for
kindergarten on a screener
given in 2013. The scores
for African-Americans (38
percent) and Hispanic chil-
dren (29 percent) were the
lowest.
The initiative will also
aim to help parents find
stable employment and pro-
vide a one-stop shop for
parents seeking help raising
their young children, Unit-
ed Way assistant director
of community engagement
Sarah Listug told the Hub.
She said the next step
will be to get people out
into the communities to
hear from parents what sup-
port they need and requests
for proposals in the differ-
ent neighborhoods.
Were not doing a one-
size-fits-all, Listug said,
adding that parents who
have ideas can call the
United Way to make sug-
gestions by dialing 211.
The plan came out of
nearly 12 months of work
by the Born Learning Del-
egation, which included
more than 40 community
leaders from around the
county, and the group hopes
to see continued support
from around the communi-
ties, including the business
sector.
One example of early
support from the business
community comes from
BMO Harris Bank, which
has funded Books for
Babies bags to be distrib-
uted through local hospitals
to parents of newborns. The
kids include books for the
child, tips for parents on
how to engage with their
child during the first five
years and a list of resources
in the county.
City of Stoughton
Applications sought for EMS director
The City of Stoughton
is looking for a new EMS
di rect or fol l owi ng t he
retirement of Cathy Rig-
don earlier this year.
The job was posted April
23 after city officials had
agreed a few weeks ear-
lier that the fire and EMS
departments should have
separate leaders.
Candidates for the EMS
director position need to
file their application by
May 22. Applicants need
to have five years of expe-
rience as an EMT with an
EMT-Basi c IV-Tech
level of certification. Can-
didates with supervisory
and budget development
experience are preferred,
according to the citys job
posting.
The EMS director posi-
tion became vacant in early
March after Rigdon retired.
She has served the Stough-
ton Area EMS in some
capacity since 1992. The
city had decided to look at
the possibility of joining
the EMS and fire depart-
ments under one leader,
but chose not to merge the
departments because there
were very few perceived
benefits. Former SAEMS
administrative assistant
Lisa Schimelpfenig has
served as interim director.
The posted salary for
the director position is
$61,000 per year.
Employment applica-
tions and position descrip-
tions are available online
at www.ci.stoughton.wi.us
under Employment Oppor-
tunities.
Applicants should return
a cover letter, application
and resume to the Office
of the City of Stoughton,

Car lot, training center get
planning commission nod
Council action needed, duplexes proposed
MARK IGNATOWSKI
City of Stoughton Plan-
ning Commission mem-
bers made quick work of a
few routine approvals for
several businesses Mon-
day.
A couple public hear-
ings drew no comments
and the city was able to
forward recommendations
of approval for a new fit-
ness business, a car lot
and changes to a faade on
Main Street. Commission-
ers also had a preliminary
talk about a residential
development along Hwy. B
and North Page Street.
Car lot
Plans to sell a few cars at
an existing auto detail shop
on North Page Street were
recommended for council
approval.
El i Pi t ney made t he
request for his business
and commissioners found
the conditional use would
fit in the area.
Training center
The commission gave a
positive recommendation
for a new fitness training
business operated by James
Brooks in the Kegonsa Pla-
za shopping center.
The 1,000-square-foot
business would focus on
personal training, group fit-
ness classes, powerlifting,
boot camps and strongman
training, according to docu-
ments filed with the city.
PRIMAL Strength and Fit-
ness still needs approval
of their conditional use
permit by the council, but
commission members had
no objections to any of the
business plans.
Downtown faade
Commissioners approved
plans to renovate the facade
of the State Farm Insurance
building at 274 E. Main
Street.
Changes include a new
bay window on the second
floor, new siding, a shake-
style shingled awning and
some stone veneer.
Commission members
approved the changes and
do not need council action.
Residential lots
Devel oper AJ Arnet t
spoke with the commission
about plans to develop a
roughly 2.5-acre lot on the
corner of North Page Street
and County Hwy. B.
The discussion was pre-
liminary in order to get
feedback on what sort of
design and amenities com-
mission members might
like to see. Arnetts ini-
tial proposal called for
between 10 and 15 duplex
units along a private drive.
He said he envisioned an
affordable neighborhood
where residents could own
their own duplexes, typi-
cally known as zero-lot-
line homes.
Arnett will likely bring
detailed plans to the com-
mi ssi on i n t he comi ng
months for further review,
City of Stoughton planning
and development direc-
tor Rodney Scheel told the
commission.
Town of Rutland
Public hearing on radio tower expected
A public hearing tenta-
tively set for next month
will give area residents a
chance to weigh in on a
controversial proposal to
build a 486-foot radio tower
in the Town of Rutland.
Tomah-based Magnum
Communi cat i ons want s
to build the tower near
Old Stage Road to service
Stoughtons first FM radio
station. Town and Dane
County officials denied the
request in 2012, but chang-
es to state law last spring
opened the door for Mag-
num to try again.
Town officials discussed
the proposal at two sepa-
rate meetings last week but
took no action. The pub-
lic hearing is expected to
be held 6:30 p.m. June 12
at the Rutland Town Hall,
785 Center Rd. A joint
meeting of the towns plan
commi ssi on and boar d
of supervisors will fol-
low, said town clerk Dawn
George.
A separate public hear-
ing was held April 29 by
a Dane County committee
that drew proponents and
opponents of the tower. The
town has 60 days from that
hearing to vote on the pro-
posal, though Rutland offi-
cials are expected to ask for
a 40-day extension beyond
that, George said.

players, the plan aims to halve
the phosphorus running into
each of the four main lakes.
Equally ambitious is the Mad-
i son Met ropol i t an Sewerage
Districts attempt, now in pilot
stage, to pay farmers to reduce
their pollution to the watershed,
an alternative to the costly task
of upgrading its own treatment
plants pollution controls.
In these experiments, Kegonsa
carp-filled, green, scum-sus-
ceptible is one of the biggest
challenges.
The fact is, some lakes are
harder to clean up than others.
Kegonsa is a sad story, and I
wish I could think of something
more positive to say about it,
Carpenter said. It has been the
end of the line for phosphorus
runoff for a long time. Phospho-
rus levels are very high.
Weeds getting worse
Carpenter and Richard Lath-
rop, a retired longtime Wis-
consi n Depart ment of Nat u-
ral Resources lake researcher,
recent l y publ i shed research
comparing management options
for the watershed, based on the
characteristics of the lakes and
their surroundings. Where, they
asked, might pollution reduc-
tions give the greatest bang for
the buck?
That would be at Lake Men-
dota, at the top of the chain.
Kegonsa, t hey concl uded,
can be expected to exhibit mut-
ed responses to management.
For Kegonsa resort owner
Tom DuFoe, t hat prognosi s
is akin to hearing that a good
friend has a serious illness. He
has operat ed Kegonsa Cove
Resort off Count y Hi ghway
AB on the lakes North shore
for three years. He has watched
in dismay as the weeds have
become worse and worse.
They have a coupl e of
machines that they use to cut the
weeds, DuFoe said, but they
dont do it as often as it seems
they should. Its progressively
getting worse. Customers com-
plain about the weeds, espe-
cially them getting tangled in
the propellers and that kind of
thing.
Still, business has remained
steady at the resort. Customers
rent fishing boats, pontoons and
canoes, and the bar and grill are
busy.
Kegonsa has much to offer,
DuFoe said, which makes it all
the sadder that lake experts are
finding it difficult to address the
lakes weed problems. DuFoe
said the lake is the least crowd-
ed of all the Madison lakes and
the fishing can be excellent,
even with the weeds. Its one of
the lakes where you can paddle
or motor out and get away from
crowds and speedboats towing
skiers, he added.
I love this lake, DuFoe said.
Why Kegonsa is unlucky
Lake Kegonsa has the worst
wat er qual i t y i n t he Yahara
chain.
At the end of the lake chain, it
receives phosphorus from all the
other lakes. About three-quar-
ters of the phosphorus in Lake
Kegonsa comes from upstream.
The rest comes largely from
agriculture.
Because it is a shallow, round
bowl, the wind mixes it up eas-
ily, kicking up phosphorus from
the sediments.
Its numerous carp also stir
up these phosphorus-rich sedi-
ments.
And Kegonsa has a l ot of
phosphorus coming into it. At
this point it has so much, in fact,
that the algae cannot use it all
meaning that up to a point, you
could cut it and nothing would
happen, Lathrop said.
Car pent er and Lat hr op s
research suggests that the Clean
Lakes Alliance plan is aggres-
sive but feasible overall. But
clear water will be more diffi-
cult to achieve at Lake Kegonsa,
because so much of its pollution
comes from upstream.
Even if the plan were achieved
to the letter, Kegonsa probably
would not clear up as much as
the other lakes, Lathrop said.
But i t doesn t mean we
shouldnt try, he added.
James Tye, Clean Lakes Alli-
ance vice president, said it was
important to address the worst
runoff going directly into Lake
Kegonsa because if you dont
do anything, its also going to
get all the bad stuff coming from
other lakes, he said.
The properties around Lake
Kegonsa need to be much more
diligent about sediment getting
into the lakes, he said.
Not giving up
There are new efforts.
Tye pointed to a Clean Lakes
Alliance-coordinated project
completed last fall in which a
farmer whose land was stream-
ing manure runoff down to the
water was persuaded to add a
pond where the runoff could
safely collect.
Peter Foy, president of the
Friends of Lake Kegonsa, a non-
profit group of about 320 lake
homeowners, had driven around
earlier that year to systemati-
cally identify where runoff was
heading to the lake and sample
what was in the water. For a
while it seemed the project was
floundering.
But Ill be darned, he said.
Before the ground froze, that
project was finished.
He believes people are just
now starting to buy into the need
for a phosphorus cleanup.
Carpenters suggestion: Per-
haps we shoul d be t hi nki ng
long-term about a fairly drastic
intervention in Kegonsa.
Er adi cat i ng t he car p, f or
example, could help. Or treating
the lake with alum, a chemical
that settles out phosphorus; it
has long been used by wastewa-
ter treatment plants but is infre-
quently used in Wisconsin.
These, or other options, are
massi ve and expensi ve eco-
system engineering that would
require careful planning and
public consideration, Carpen-
ter said. But after analysis they
might look good compared to
the alternative, which is a mas-
sively polluted algae bowl for
many decades, and a big source
of phosphorus t o t he l ower
Yahara and Rock River.
Adjusting expectations
Lathrops take on Kegonsa
is that expectations have to
be realistic. For Lake Men-
dota, clear water would mean
being able to see three meters.
For Kegonsa, people would be
pleased with seeing beyond a
meter, he added.
We have to learn by doing,
and see what we can get, he
said. Theres hope. Even for
Kegonsa.
Anybody that lives on the
lake will tell you its a beautiful
place to live, constantly chang-
ing, said Foy, the lake home-
owner.
But when we have al gae
blooms out there, that is the
worst thing. You cant even let
your dogs go in there. We dont
get concerned if the waters a
little green.

Kegonsa: Lake suffers as problems wash downstream
Continued from page 1
Landowners, volunteers unite
to clean up impaired waters
JESSICA VANEGEREN
The Capital Times
On a brisk spring morning with
snow lingering on the frozen ground,
the whine of chainsaws signals
water conservation efforts are under
way at one of more than 60 impaired
waterways in Dane County.
Along the banks of Pleasant Val-
ley Branch, a six-mile-long trout
stream near County Highway H in
the Town of Perry, some 50 volun-
teers ranging from 9- and 10-year-
old Boy Scouts to men and women
in their 60s and 70s are clearing
bank-side debris and cutting down
box elders.
The tree is not invasive but it is
problematic. Its weak root system
allows the bank to tumble into the
stream. Wider streams run warmer
and trout thrive in cooler water. Its
canopy of leaves also prevents sun-
light from reaching in-stream veg-
etation, which provide cover and
habitat for the bugs trout like to eat.
Both scenarios prevent a thriv-
ing trout population, which is why
South Central Trout Unlimited coor-
dinates volunteer clean up conserva-
tion days on Pleasant Valley Branch
and other impaired waters through-
out the year.
Cleaning up narrow trout streams
that are classified as polluted due
to sediment deposits and degraded
wildlife habitats and tackling the
phosphorus pollution that plagues
the 15 square miles of Lake Men-
dota may seem worlds apart.
Yet efforts to clean up lakes Men-
dota, Monona, Kegonsa and Waube-
sa, which were all added to the 2014
Environmental Protection Agencys
impaired waters list in December
for high phosphorus levels that con-
tribute to toxic algae blooms, are
employing conservation practices
that originated in Dane County back
in the 1970s -- just on steroids.
What weve been doing for
decades is a lot like what adaptive
management is now, said Kevin
Connors, director of Dane Countys
Land and Water Resources Depart-
ment. It is basic conservation using
updated technologies, while work-
ing closely with landowners and
producers. We just put an official
name on it.
The idea behind what is known as
adaptive management is to tackle
water pollution through community
buy-in, much like the county han-
dles efforts to clean up its smaller
rivers and streams.
Dane County is one of more than
30 public, private and nonprofit enti-
ties to join in the watershed adaptive
management effort overseen by the
Madison Metropolitan Sewerage
District to reduce phosphorus levels
in the entire Yahara Watershed.
This community-driven approach,
which included the voluntary reloca-
tion of some farms to reduce phos-
phorus levels in rivers and streams,
cleaned up the western branch of the
Sugar River.
In 2004, it became the first water-
way in the state to be removed from
the impaired waters list.
German Valley Creek followed in
2012.
Connors said the previously
impaired section of the Sugar River
used to run very brown, a result of
agricultural crop runoff, stream bank
erosion and manure. As a result, in
the summer there were little or no
fish.
That began to change with a
concentrated effort to clean it up in
1979.
It takes time, but it can be done,
Connors said. The community,
county, farmers and conservation
groups decided cleaning up the riv-
ers was something they wanted to
do. They just rolled up their sleeves
and did it.
You could cut it and nothing would happen.

Right, Mr. U. R. Fired talks
to Kegonsa Elementary School
youngsters about the impor-
tance of energy during the
performance of The Energized
Guyz by the National Theatre
for Children on April 15 at the
Kegonsa gym. The Energized
Guyz features two professional
actors who play a variety of
characters in a 25-minute pro-
gram, according to the theatre.
Students learn about energy
efficiency while cheering on
the plays hero, an apprentice
superhero who needs to stop an
evil villain who is wasting all the
energy in town.
2. The hero, Nikki Neutron, con-
fronts the energy-wasting villain
The Sneaker for the first time.
Kegonsa students learn about energy
A group of Kegonsa Ele-
mentary School recently
learned about how to save
energy through an entertain-
ing play brought here with the
help of Stoughton Utilities.
Students in grades kinder-
garten through second got to
see Nikki Neutron save the
day after his boss, Mr. U. R.
Fired, orders him to defeat
the evil, sneaky villain The
Sneaker, who has been wast-
ing energy all over town.
Its up to Nikki to find The
Sneaker and catch him!
Not knowing much about
electricity or energy, Nikki
enlists the help of his friends
Thunderstorm and Bert the
Dirt Expert, according to the
National Theatre for Children,
which put on the production.
They teach Nikki what ener-
gy and electricity are and how
we can use them efficiently.
The play teaches students
about the concept of energy as
well as how power is generat-
ed, renewable vs. non-renew-
able energy and the impor-
tance of energy conservation.
The Minneapolis, Minn.-
based National Theatre
for Children partners with
schools to teach important
societal issues to children
ages 6-14 by employing inter-
active, educational theatre
techniques, according to its
website.

The Best News
I have sometimes lamented that the problem
with life is not that we are not loved, but that
we are not loved sufficiently. We all desire to be
loved just a bit more than we currently are and
perhaps appreciated a bit more for just how
wonderful we think we are. But, in reality, we are
loved perfectly by God. We shouldnt expect so
much from our fellow man; family and friends
do their best to love and be loved in return,
but we are not the best lovers. The prize for
best lover clearly goes to God, who made each
of us perfect in our own way, and who loves
us despite our failings. And what is more, he
made the ultimate sacrifice, humbling Himself
to appear in human form, being born in the
humblest of circumstances, and subsequently
suffering an ignominious death usually reserved
for the worst of criminals, and doing all of this
to give us a good example and to atone for our
sins. So rejoice in this best of news: you are
infinitely loved!
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
In this the love of God was made manifest
among us, that God sent his only Son into the
world, so that we might live through him. In this
is love, not that we have loved God but that he
loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation
for our sins.

Final festival
preparations
SHS repaint
Syttende Mai booths
There is no bigger cel-
ebration in Stoughton than
Syttende Mai, and Stough-
ton High School students
are pitching in to make
this years event even more
colorful.
Students in technology
education teacher Doug
Gieses Advanced Cabi-
net maki ng and Carpen-
try class have been busy
repainting and repairing
booths used during the fes-
tival, as well as other work,
including replacing roof
panels.
The work is part of the
classs annual community
project, said Giese, which
allows students to develop
their skills in a real-world
application. In this case,
they will be able to see
their work first-hand dur-
ing Syttende Mai.
I t hi nk t hat r eal l y
helps, he said.
The booths were built
in 2003 by students in the
SHS Residential Construc-
tion Class, and this years
students also will be con-
structing a new booth for
the popular festival.
Gi e s e s a i d h e wa s
approached by the Stough-
t on Chamber of Com-
merce to see if they could
help with sprucing up the
booths, and he was happy
to oblige, with some assis-
t ance (and mat eri al s at
cost) from Stoughton Lum-
ber. Students replaced all
the damaged and loose pan-
els and painted the booths,
while students in the weld-
ing class finished the metal
slide brackets that go on
the bottom corners of each
booth and improved the old
ones by adding more mate-
rial to raise them more off
the ground.
We think this should
pr event damage t o t he
st r uct ur es as t hey ar e

said.

Vikings need help at conference
Tuesdays loss to
Edgewood means destiny
not in Stoughtons hands
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Tuesdays 165-171 l oss t o
Madison Edgewood at Stoughton
Country Club did more than just
drop the Stoughton boys golf team
to 3-2-1 in Badger South duals.
It also means that Conference
the Vikings dont control their
own destiny for the conference
tournament on May 21.
Now we are going to need
some help, head coach Dave
Taebel said. Going into con-
ference, I want us to play to our
potential and do what we can and
let the chips fall where they may.
But the conference tournament
is different than the 9-hole duals
during the regular season, and
Taebel said that the Vikings may
have left some shots on the course
Tuesday.
We just had a couple of shots
that did not go our way, Taebel
said. I know some of the kids
want some shots back with some
double bogeys and triple bogeys
out there, and that is not going to
beat Edgewood.
Senior Max Fergus and fresh-
man Sam Anderson each shot 42s,
while sophomore Austin Kotlows-
ki added a 43. Sophomore Ian
Sutton finished the scoring with a
44.

Sehmer doubles Vikes past rivals
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Sarah Seaton and Maddie Sehmer con-
nected on back-to-back doubles in bottom
of the sixth inning Friday to power the
host Vikings past Oregon 2-1.
Sehmer, who finished 2-for-3 at the
plate with a pair of doubles, saved her best
for last, knocking in the go-ahead run off
the base of the left-center field fence.
It was a really intense game, Sehmer
said. Everything was really positive after
we scored that go-ahead run.
Sarah Seaton tossed a two-hitter over
seven innings, striking out 12.
Seaton allowed the Panthers lead-off
hitter to reach base in the first two innings
only to respond by striking out the sides.
She had at least one strikeout in every
inning but the third.
Equally as impressive, she finished
3-for-3 at the plate with an RBI.
Lead-off hitter Samantha Tepp scored
the games first run after reaching base on
a check-swing single. Two batters later the
clean-up hitting Seaaton singled into left
to place Tepp.
The scored remained 1-0 Stoughton
until the top of the sixth when back-to-
back walks with one out helped the visit-
ing Panthers knot the score. Following
Seatons 11th strike out, Dani Moore dug
in and laced an RBI single to center.
Freshman Lacey Fluckinger took the
loss for Oregon, allowing two earned runs
on seven hits over six innings.
Did everything go our way tonight?,
Kristen Siget said. No. But did we fight
and pull out the win? Yes. And against one
of your closest rivals, thats always good.
Stoughton, Monroe (PPD)
Rain canceled yet another game for the
Vikings on Monday against Monroe. The
game will be played at 5 p.m. Thursday.
Stoughton, Monona Grove (PPD)
Water from Monday also forced the
postponement of Stoughtons Tuesday
game against MG. That game will be made
up next Monday in place of the teams
game against non-conference Edgerton.

Bach goes off
for second hat
trick at Beloit
ANTHONY IOZZO
The Stoughton High School
girls soccer team had a week
off before Tuesdays game
at Beloit Memorial and head
coach Dave Wermuth said
that the rest showed in a 4-1
win.
This late in the season
with as many games as weve
had, it was nice to heal some
bruises and some nagging
stuff, Wermuth said. I think
it showed tonight. We were
rested and played really well.
Senior Hayley Bach once
again had a big offensive day
with three goals and an assist.
Bach scored her first two
goals in the first half, and she
added a third with about 12
minutes left to put the game
away. Celia Holtan picked up
the assist.
Bachs assist came in the
73rd minute when she found
a wide-open Maddie Posick,
who knocked in the goal.
Once Bach got by some-
one in the midfield, she had a
lot of space, Wermuth said.
She was running and looking
for open players ... She was
able to find Maddie by look-
ing through a play and passing
when Beloit players started
coming toward her.
Another bonus of the win,
besides moving the Vikings
record to 5-7 overall, was
knocking off a Big Eight
team, Wermuth said.
It looks good for a Badger
South team to step up and beat
a Big Eight team, he said.
Stoughtons Hannah Wood
finished with three saves.
Beloit Memorials Katie
McCarthy also had three
stops.
Stoughton travels to Mon-
roe for a Badger South Con-
ference game at 5 p.m. on

Vikings bounce back from tough loss at Oregon with two straight wins
ANTHONY IOZZO
The St ought on Hi gh
School baseball team has had
spurts of offense all year, but
the pitching is what carried it
to two wins against sectional
opponents last week.
A 4-2 win at Cottage
Groves Firemans Park
against Monona Grove on
Tuesday followed a 4-2 win
at Beloit Memorial over the
weekend Saturday.
Senior PJ Rosowski went
six innings for the win at
Beloit, while Alex Zacharias
went five innings in the win
on Tuesday.
It was a rough Friday but
to bounce back and get two
wins from two quality teams
with the pitching was huge,
head coach Jeremy Dunnihoo
said.
Zacharias added an RBI
single that plated Rosowski
in a three-run second and also
scored on a wild pitch.
The other run in the second
was from another wild pitch
that plated junior Zach Has-
selberger.
Seni or Braden Poi rer
capped the offense with an
RBI single in the sixth that
scored Rosowski.
Zacharias allowed four hits
and no runs. He walked four
and struck out one.
Brady Wanniger picked up
the save by getting the final
out.
MGs Jason Bielke picked
up the loss. Bielke went six
innings and allowed two
earned runs on seven hits. He
struck out three and walked
two.
Stoughton hosts Milton at
4 p.m. Thursday and hosts
Monroe at 5 p.m. Monday.
Stoughton finishes the week
at Monroe at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Also next week is the seed-
ing meeting, which will be
Sunday afternoon.
Oregon 6, Stoughton 5
The Vikings tied Oregon
twice last Friday, but they
couldnt grab a lead in a 6-5
loss.
The host Panthers won the
game in the bottom of the sev-
enth on a walk-off RBI single
by Colin Byron, scoring Chris
McGuine.
Stoughton decided to hold
Rosowski for the next game
at Beloit Memorial, but senior
Chris Lund and junior Josh
Eugster kept the Vikings in
the game until the end.
We had confidence in both
starters in those games against
Oregon and Beloit because it
was a good matchup, Dun-
nihoo said. Against Oregon,
our bats held us back a little
bit and our defense did early
on, but we have faith in all of
our pitchers.
And with the seeding meet-
ing coming up, Dunnihoo
said that winning all games is
more important than confer-
ence from the few years he
has been at the seeding meet-
ing.
From my experience, the
conference standing doesnt
matter as much as the overall
record, he said. So we have
to go out and win as many
games as a we can so we can
go into the seeding meet-
ing and get the seed that we
deserve, he said.
Eugster struck out five
in the loss. He went 3 2/3
innings and allowed two
earned runs on seven hits and
also walked one. Lund started
and went three innings. He
allowed an earned run on two
hits, while striking out six and
walking two.
Zacharias (3-for-4) led the
offense with a 3-run home
run, while Rosowski picked
up the other RBI. Lund was
2-for-4 with two runs scored,
while junior Cade Bunnell
and Sam Ripp added runs
scored.
Oregon senior Ross Gallo-
way picked up the win despite
blowing a save. Galloway
allowed two earned runs on
three hits. He struck out two.
Mitch Weber started and
struck out 11 in six innings.
He allowed one earned run on
six hits and also waked four.
Stoughton 4, Beloit 2
Stoughton bounced back
with a win at Beloit Memorial
on Saturday.
Hasselberger had an RBI
single, while Tim Johnson
added a 2-run double. Lund
added an RBI single.
Rosowski allowed no runs
on two hits, striking out six
and walking two. Sam Ripp
finished the game and allowed
two earned runs on three hits.
He also had a strikeout.
Stoughton senior Luke Logan clears 5 feet, 8 inches in the high jump Friday dur-
ing the Stoughton Invitational. Logan finished runner-up with a leap of 5-10.

overturning the Citizens Unit-
ed decision. The group will
have petitions and tables at
Syttende Mai and at the citys
Memorial Day ceremonies.
Stoughton Move to Amend
also hopes to have a referen-
dum placed on the November
election ballot, which would
give more people an oppor-
tunity to oppose the Supreme
Court decision.
If organizers can collect
the signatures of 15 percent
of city residents who voted
in the last gubernatorial elec-
tion 771 people they are
entitled per state statute (Sec.
9.20) to have a referendum
put on the November ballot.
Tim Sager, of South Cen-
tral Move to Amend, said the
organization would like to
see both approaches succeed,
but a referendum is a higher
priority because more people
would be expressing an opin-
ion.
Move to Amend wants a
Constitutional amendment to
establish two key points: that
corporations are not people
and do not have the same
Constitutional rights as peo-
ple and that spending money
is not a form of speech, and
therefore not covered under
the First Amendment.
Were trying to amend the
U.S. Constitution so that this
doesnt happen again so that
corporations dont have rights
above people, Veith told the
Hub. South Central Move
to Amend prefers that this
be brought about by people
to educate people and show
that this is supported by most
people.
Veith noted the matter is
being discussed by the Com-
munity Affairs/Council Poli-
cy Committee.
It needs 771 signatures of
city residents for the refer-
endum, but Stoughton Move
to Amend is trying to gather
at least 900 signatures on its
petitions in case some are dis-
qualified, Muller said.
She said it takes a lot of
energy and work to achieve
a Constitutional amendment,
but we think its the best
way to go.
There are two ways to pro-
pose an amendment: by a
two-thirds majority vote in
both houses of Congress, or
through a Constitutional Con-
vention called by two-thirds
of state legislatures.
Either way, the proposed
amendment must be approved
by three-fourths of the states.
We feel corporations
are important in our soci-
ety but theyre not the same
as human beings, Muller
explained. And we feel Con-
stitutional rights should be for
people human beings, not
corporations. Corporations
are not the same as people.
Also, we feel that money
is not speech, she added.
So those two things we feel
are very important to have in
a Constitutional amendment.
In the Citizens United deci-
sion, the court overturned
decades of precedents and
decided the First Amend-
ment prohibits the govern-
ment from restricting political
independent expenditures by
corporations, associations or
labor unions.
It followed a line of deci-
sions going back to 1976,
when the court interpreted
freedom of speech to include
spending money.
Veith and Muller said
Move to Amend is a nonpar-
tisan movement supported
by people of all political per-
suasions. They added that 41
municipalities throughout the
state have adopted resolutions
supporting Move to Amend
and opposing the Citizens
United decision, including
the City of Madison and Dane
County.
