Victorian Holiday weekend
SCPA plans January move

Kehl calls opportunity to own studios a dream come true
BILL LIVICk
Unied Newspaper Group
Coleen Kehl calls it a positive tradeoff. She will lose some lobby and sceneshop space but will gain bigger studios. And she will own them. Kehl, the owner and artistic director of the Stoughton Center for the Performing Arts, will lose square footage when she leaves the Tobacco Junction building to move her business to the condominium she Kehl purchased at 2320 Jackson St. But she will gain nicer, larger studios and the knowledge that when she builds the new dance, drama and music studios this time, shell be investing in a space that she owns for the first time.

Kim Thompson and Emma Crowley act out their PSA that warns about the dangers of texting and driving.
A public service announcement created by a group of Stoughton teens could run on local TV this winter if it gets enough online votes, with voting starting next week. The PSA is part of a contest put on by TV station FOX47 that warns about the dangers of texting and driving. A group of students from Stoughton High School won last years contest. SHS sophomore Emma Crowley said she thought the contest looked fun and got a group together, including fellow sophomores Kim Thompson and Austin Triggs, to draw out a story board and enter it into the contest. FOX selected their idea as one of the Top 5 and the station filmed the PSA on Friday to be entered into the contest. The PSA shows a girl (Thompson) thinking about texting while driving who then is deterred by seeing a vision of an angel (Crowley). The

Mission trip more than just the holiday spirit

KIMbErLY WETHAL
Hub Correspondent
Waiting for the holiday season to do a service project isnt Craig Rowleys style. Rowley, along with 17 other adult missionaries from Lakeside Lutheran Church, went to the Dominican Republic for a week beginning Oct. 26. The group worked at a care center and school for children, providing clothing, food and painting a wall mural to brighten up the school grounds. As leader of the group, Rowley said that the mission trip was Gods calling for the group members, with the missionary work being familiar to him. We went with Kids Alive International, Rowley said. When my family and I lived there for fourand-a-half years as missionaries, wed host families who were also there to help. Rowleys expectations when going on the mission trip was that participants would return with a better sense of the importance of community service. Rowley stated that upon arrival in the Dominican Republic, the first and most overwhelming of the groups reaction was to the countrys economic state. Typically, the first reaction is the high level of poverty, Rowley said. Many of the group members realized how fortunate they are and just how much we have. Group member Bob Martin,

who has gone to the Dominican Republic as a missionary three times, says that he expects to see the poverty, but seeing it was sobering. The poverty there is difficult to get your head around, Martin said. People here just can not imagine the way some of the people there live. And, to the people there, in most cases, they are
happy with what they have even though what they have is not very much. It absolutely breaks my heart to see the kids who have to live in such poverty, he said. Martin and Rowley said they were there not only to do physical labor, but also to build relationships with everyone at the school. (Relationships) with the kids is
probably more important than the physical work we do, and the kids there are so incredibly grateful for what we do and for the time we get to spend with them. In fact, the impact on the group was so powerful that it affected many of their personal relationships, Rowley said. Many that went on the trip had a hard time re-engaging back with
our culture, Rowley said. They realized that relationships are much more important than anything else. They didnt want their relationships to be second in their lives anymore. Another type of relationship that was fostered was between families they sponsor. Martin and his wife had the chance to strengthen their relationship with the child that they sponsor and her family. While it is a very awesome thing to sponsor a child, it is a completely different thing to actually meet that child and their family, see where they live and get to know them, Martin said. The group raised funds for their $1,600 trip with help outpouring from both their church and the Stoughton community. We asked the directors in the Dominican Republic what they needed before fundraising, he said. In the end, we had an additional $8,000 to donate to the school from both the church and the community. Rowley and the group came back from their mission trip feeling fulfilled and uplifted from knowing that they impacted the lives of children and adults outside of their community, and encourage community members to also find a way to serve others. Dont be afraid to serve others, Rowley said.Its an inspiring thing to see the Holy Spirit and God working in the hearts of the group as they worked for others.

Accessibility and familiarity lead to acceptance of alcohol

Remember when we had cigarette vending machines, you put in 4 quarters and pulled the button on the package you wanted. Mom could send her son or daughter to get them. Remember candy cigarettes? I remember practicing holding them between my fingers acting cool. When I was a kid, these things were accepted and normal. Now we know the hazards of smoking and my children would be horrified to see a box of candy cigarettes, amazed that such things were once common place and acceptable. We have eliminated cigarette advertising, cigarettes are stored behind the counter out of reach to anyone but the customer service provider. I went to a large store last month in Monona, and saw some pretty little bottles, with cute names like Candy bar, Chocolate Cake, Peach, Whipped, Lemonade and Strawberry. They were pretty colors and an easy size to slip in your purse, only 4 oz. The box was near the store entrance, you have to walk past it to get in the store, and its just off the floor. A curious 5 year old could easily grab one and play with it. It looks like soda. I saw this box of UV right after attending a seminar on alcohol marketing, suggesting that alcohol is now being marketed to 7-8 year olds. The impact of this innocent looking box of cute bottles stopped me in my tracks. The bottles and the box say UV all over, in large letters. The words Vodka and 30% alcohol are 1/16th of an inch tall. The full impact of that box, and the publicity and marketing used in displaying it, made me feel suddenly ill. I was upset by this display and went to customer service and asked to speak to the manager, he wasnt available. I spoke to the assistant manager and
A bin of mini alcohol bottles is easily accessible to minors.
Five years ago The proposal to reduce the number of classes at River Bluff Middle School from eight to seven drew opposition from several parents and staff members. They worried the arts program would suffer because students would be able to take fewer elective courses. The change was recommended as part of study that aimed to evaluate programming and class time usage at the middle school. The citys mill rate was set at $6.97 per $1,000 in assessed value, an increase of 4.88 percent over the previous $6.65 mill rate.

explained my anxiety regarding how this box of UV Vodka is marketing to our children. She agreed and gave me a piece of paper to write a verbal complaint. The box is still there. There is also a store in Oregon selling beautiful bottles of wine next to fruit and cheese, intermingled with produce in attractive displays. I dont want to outlaw alcohol, but I would like to have a realistic representation of alcohol. The fact is, it is mentally and physically debilitating. We need laws to protect our children from alcohol accessibility and advertising. We need to stop alcohol from targeting our children. Alcohol should be consumed responsibly with full knowledge of the mental and physical debility associated with it. It should not be something we can pick up quickly and easily off the floor, stocked next to childrens pillows and teen beverages, nor should it be as common place as fruit and vegetables. Im concerned with how insignificantly we look at alcohol - it reminds me of those candy cigarettes.

The Stoughton VFW voted to build a dining and dance hall addition onto their current location. Environmental engineers met to discuss the sale of the Dunkirk and Stebbinsville dams. A paper shortage led to some Courier Hub papers being printed on colored newsprint.

20 years ago Ald. Sandy Quale resigned, citing health concerns. Quale was elected as a write in during the April election. The Stoughton Area School District mill rate was lowered from previous estimates. Taxpayers expected at $18 per $1,000 in assessed value charge, but that was lowered to $16.96 after revenue cap numbers from the state were received earlier in the month. The Common Council voted to approve having a fulltime mayor. Ald. Steve Forney helped push the matter as the city worked to form its budget. The Hub urged the city to proceed with caution on the issue because of the short notice, but the decision was made in less than a week on an 8-3 vote. The salary was set at $30,000.

The library was seeking $1 million in borrowed funds for the expansion. The city planned to offer the WisDOT $10,700 to purchase the dilapidated rail depot on East Main Street. The citys mill rate on property tax bills was slated to rise by about 6.5 percent to $6.29 per $1,000 in assessed value. Projects like a new storm sewer on Jefferson Street, the extension of Hwy.

50 years ago Stoughton area residents along with most of the country expressed shock at the assassination of president John F. Kennedy. All churches in the area held services Monday and many shops were closed until the afternoon on the day of his funeral. Police reported that the usual mischief surrounding Halloween was a bit overdone with obscene words found painted on garages and downtown. Teenagers also took coin boxes from little ones.

A secondary headline over a story in last weeks Hub about a possible Stoughton School District referendum mistakenly identified the conditions board members agreed on as work on the ballot measure progresses. It would be a non-recurring referendum meaning it would not automatically renew itself but the secondary headline inadvertently referred to it as a nonbinding referendum, indicating that it would be advisory only. Such a referendum undoubtedly would be binding. The Hub regrets the error.

Postal Service asks Stoughton residents to clear snow and ice

With winter knocking on the door, one seasonal tool is expected to make its return at homes and businesses the shovel. To help letter carriers deliver mail for the holidays, the United States Postal Service is asking customers to clear snow and ice from sidewalks, stairs and mailboxes. Snow and ice make delivery dangerous and slow, Stoughton Postmaster John Cuta said in a news release. Maintaining a clear path to the mail box including steps, porches, walkways and street approach will help letter carriers maintain consistent delivery service and help them get those cards and packages delivered in time for the holidays. Customers receiving door delivery should make sure their sidewalks, steps and porches are clear. Customers receiving curbside delivery should remove snow piles left by snow plows to keep access to their mailboxes clear for letter carriers. Delivery service may be delayed or curtailed whenever streets or walkways present hazardous conditions for letter carriers or when snow is plowed against mailboxes. The Postal Service curtails delivery only after careful consideration, and only as a last resort, Cuta said. Any curtailed mail is attempted the next delivery day. Blue collection boxes also need to be kept clear for our customers to deposit their mail and for the Postal Service to collect the mail for delivery. Residents and businesses with collection boxes near their property are asked to keep them clear of snow and ice. We want our letter carriers to be safe, Cuta said. We can only do this with the help of our customers.

Festival: Stoughton natives return home for video show

Continued from page 1 Stoughton High School graduate who lives in Queens, N.Y. The duo met in sixth grade, started their own humor newspaper in middle school and were later roommates at the University of WisconsinEau Claire. Their fixation with found videos began in 1991, when Prueher swiped a comically bad staff training video from Stoughtons McDonalds, where he had a part-time job. He and friends watched it repeatedly for laughs. The duo later wrote for The Onion, and Prueher landed jobs with David Letterman and The Colbert Report. Along the way, he and Pickett kept up their hobby of scouring thrift stores and garage sales for strange, outrageous or profoundly stupid videos. Their collection now approaches 6,000 VHS tapes, which they keep in a New York storage locker (Pickett lives with his family in Brooklyn). They edit their favorite clips into roughly 90-minute shows, creating a new volume for the Festival about every 18 months or so. Their only rules are that the videos must be found physically, rather than on the internet, and must be unintentionally funny. Their most recent tour took them to all 50 states and nine countries in Europe. They performed in Madison, Milwaukee and Eau Claire in late November before returning to

Im going to be a total fan boy, Prueher said. For audiences, Prueher issued one warning: the show can be lewd at times. Brief clips of full-frontal male nudity arent that unusual. The son of Dan and Jeanne Prueher said his mom asked if he could tone down the hometown show. His reply? Sorry, mom. I dont know if there are any decency laws in Stoughton but well definitely be pushing the limits, Prueher joked.
The show will be followed by an after-party dubbed Waynes Bargain Party, named for Waynes Bargain Store on Main Street that closed in the early 1990s, Prueher said. That store, Prueher recalled, sold a bunch of crap like lacquered Elvis clocks and Harley-Davidson wall tapestries. The owner, Wayne, hated teenagers and smoked constantly next to a prominent No Smoking sign. In middle school, it was the greatest store in the world, he said.

Thought for the week

The Greatest Is Love
Whether we consider love to be a commandment or a spiritual gift, it is clear that it is to be given priority over everything else. When Jesus is asked what the greatest commandment is, he says to Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22: 37-39) Although Paul speaks of love as a spiritual gift rather than as a commandment, it is clear that he also gives priority to love: And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13: 13) It is really quite simple. Our overriding duty is to love: to love God and our fellow man. This is, however, sometimes very difficult, as people are not always lovable, and we dont always know quite how to love God, but that is first and foremost what we are called to do. All the great men and women of history have been great lovers, people whose capacity to love was seemingly endless. So love always and everywhere and banish fear and hatred, those two great enemies of love, from your life. Christopher Simon via Metro News Service No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 John 4:12

The Stoughton Center for the Performing Arts will move at the end of the year from its 11-year home at 515 E. Main St. in Tobacco Junction to condominium space at 2320 Jackson St.
Senator Mark Miller listens as Adam Notstads mom Deb describes his can crushing business inside the Mandt Community Center last month. Miller made a stop at the business to highlight businesses that employ people with disabilities.
SCPA: Arts center moves next month

Continued from page 1 It is a big investment, but thats not something that I am a stranger to, Kehl said. I have built out multiple spaces in the past. Im done now because I own this condo space. Kehl has given her landlord, Stoughton Trailers, notice that she will be moving at the end of December after 11 years at 515 E. Main St. The company is selling the building, and Kehl decided it made more sense to buy the condo than investing in the historic Tobacco Junction building. Although she didnt want to talk about how much she is investing, Kehl did say she got a good deal on the property because it has been sitting empty and undeveloped for 10 years. She pursued financing through the Wisconsin Womens Business Initiative out of Milwaukee. I was pretty aggressive in seeking financing and trying to be creative, she said. You always have to be creative when youre dealing with financing. And it all played out. Kehl said all the framing, electrical and plumbing has been completed in her 10,500-square-foot space in Castle Condominiums. But there is lots of work to complete before she can make the big move and open for classes again in January. Once we get the sheetrock up and everything mudded and painted, we still have four very large studios that need wood floors put in, she said. We also need floor covering, and even once the walls are closed, theres still a considerable amount of work to do. But its moving ahead. Kehl founded the Stoughton Center for the Performing Arts 25 years ago. The business has evolved to the point that she has two full-time and eight part-time employees, along with around 375 students using some 800 class spaces. Another complicating factor is that Kehls company has been staging performances while her new studios are being built, as well as running our regular classes and getting our dance company ready for competition, she explained. They compete in Chicago and Madison the first part of the year. Then, in the first quarter of 2014, the company and instructors are off one time each month for conventions and competition. That requires a lot of choreography and getting costumes ordered and fit and staging of pieces, Kehl explained. In January we start staging and choreographing and working with our music students and drama students on their year-end performance. So its a lot of balls in the air, and Im out changing hats in between juggling those balls. Still, Kehl said, all the work and investment of time and money will be worth it in the end. She calls owning her studio space a dream come true. I never really thought that I would be in a position to own my own space, she said last week. It is a considerable investment, but Im not a stranger to making considerable investments to properties that have not been mine. Were a pretty Spartan space, she added. We dont need a lot of bells. We want a very professional ambiance but very welcoming. Her plans for build ing out the space were approved when the Common Council agreed to rezone it on Oct. 8. Our target date is to start in January with classes at our new facility, she said.
Sen. Miller visits AdamCan recycling business

Tour part of disability employment awareness campaign
Sen. Mark Miller visited Stoughtons Adam Notstad at the Mandt Community Center in Stoughton on Friday, Nov. 15 as part of the Take Your Legislator to Work Campaign. It was exciting to see this operation and see how excited Adam is to be part of it, Miller said during his tour last week. Notstad owns his own collection and recycling business. AdamCan Recycling helps local businesses and organizations meet their green business objectives. Notstad crushes cans using a commercially-built can crusher operated by a remote wireless switch powered by his wheelchair. Notstad was born with a deletion on Chromosome 8, a rare chromosomal disorder and suffered from complications from cranial surgery, according to previous stories in the Hub. With help from his family, support staff and the community, Nostad launched the recycling business in 2011. Notstads business is on pace to crush about two tons of donated cans this year and crushes nearly 200 pounds every other week.
Sen. Miller looks at an iPad showing a video about how Notstads business works as he welcomes Miller to the Mandt Community Center.
The Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities (BPDD) organizes the campaign each year by in recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. According to a news release from the BPDD, the campaign coordinates visits to workplaces between legislators and their constituents with disabilities who are working at community-based, competitivewage jobs. During the visits, legislators experience
first-hand the value of community-integrated employment for both people with disabilities and the state. When people with disabilities work in the community at a competitive wage, they are less likely to rely on publicly-funded programs, the release read. And, 87 percent of customers say they would prefer to patronize businesses that employ people with disabilities. Mark Ignatowski

Boys basketball
Vikes survive comeback with OT win

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Wrestling
It looked like it was going to be an easy win for the Stoughton High School boys basketball team with a 14-point lead in the fourth Rosowski quarter Saturday at Monroe. The Cheesemakers outscored the Vikings 17-3 in the final quarter of regulation to force overtime, though. Stoughton, however, was able to regroup and survived the scare in a 57-49 win. The Vikings (5-0 overall, 2-0 conference) led 26-4 after shutting out Monroe in the second quarter, but the Cheesemakers (1-3, 1-1) comeback began with a 20-12 advantage in the third to cut the deficit to 14 points. The comeback was made possible by the perimeter shooting of Monroe in the second half. The Cheesemakers drained nine 3-pointers in the second half and overtime combined. Senior forward Charlie Kind (two), senior guard Kylan Helmeid (three) and senior guard Jake Hirsbrunner (four) all got hot from the outside and ended up with 16, 14 and 14 points, respectively. Stoughton also had three players in double digits. Junior forward Nick McGlynn scored 17, while senior guard Paul Rosowski added 15, including three 3-pointers. Senior guard Will Clark chipped in 11. Stoughton travels to Sauk Prairie at 7:30 p.m. Friday for a non-conference game.

Vikings start season 6-0 in duals with 46-19 win
ANTHONY IOZZO
Junior Austin Benton (195 pounds) gets congratulations from teammates after a 9-6 win over senior Jospeh Bergren Tuesday, Dec. 10, in a non-conference dual against Hartland Arrowhead at Stoughton High School. The Vikings won the dual 46-19.
A young group of wrestlers is nothing to take for granted this season, as the Stoughton High School varsity team fought like an experienced bunch in a 46-19 win
Tuesday against Hartland Arrowhead. The starting lineup had five freshmen, five juniors, two sophomores and two seniors, but the Vikings won 10 of 14 matches, including two forfeits. The freshmen and sophomores were 4-3, while the juniors and seniors did their part with a 6-1 record on the night. The best thing about this group
is that they work hard and are flying under the radar, co-head coach Dan Spilde said. We are young, and a lot of people dont know what is coming yet. But if this group keeps working the way they are and keep improving, this is going to be a really nice team. One of the more exciting matches of the dual was the opening bout at 195 pounds between Stoughton junior Austin Benton and senior
Joseph Bregren. Benton found himself down 5-2 in the second period and needed to turn the momentum. He got a reversal before the third and only trailed by two after a Bregren escape was given by Benton. Benton came right back with a takedown and a near fall to win 9-6.

Marsh powers Icebergs to victory

Stoughton junior forward Casey Marsh (22) scored a power-play goal with 54 seconds remaining in regulation last Friday to give the MSO Icebergs a 1-0 Badger Conference win over the visiting Baraboo Badger Thunder co-op.
Stoughton junior forward Casey Marsh scored a power-play goal with 54 seconds remaining in regulation that propelled the MSO Icebergs to a Badger Conference seasonopening win over the visiting Badger Thunder. Though controlling play throughout much of the game, the Icebergs looked destined for overtime before Sara Wollin set up Marsh on the doorstep 1 minute after Baraboo took an interference penalty. Sara got me the puck and I slipped in through the goalies legs, Marsh said. At first, I didnt think it had gone in. I
know it felt great to end the game in regulation. We were all so exhausted. We were trying not to die. Despite outshooting the Badger Thunder 33-13, head coach Mike Jochmann said the majority of the Icebergs best chances were wide of the mark. We definitely will be working on some target practice, he said. With Baraboos 11-player bench the same size as the Icebergs entire team, Marsh and the Icebergs were just thankful to keep the game from going into overtime. Our conditioning is pretty good, but it has to get even better, Marsh said.

Senior Aussie Miller and junior Andrew Ether scored 35 seconds apart in the third period to pull the Stoughton boys hockey hockey team to within a goal Tuesday evening inside the Oregon Community Sports Arena. The Vikings (2-3-0 overall, 0-1-0 Badger South Conference) squandered their opportunity, however, with a pair of penalties down the stretch. This whole season we have been down, so were used to playing from behind, Vikings head coach Kris Rosholt said. Once we got back to within a goal, that desire started to become a reality, but we took some costly penalties, which hurt us, and that kind of ended our dream of coming out with the victory. Trailing 4-3 after Miller buried his second goal of the evening and Ether poked home another just over seven-and-a-half minutes into the third period, Stoughton watched Oregon get yet another lucky break. Keeping the puck in the zone thanks to a deflection, the Panthers picked up a second goal by Tommy Hill two minutes later at the end of the penalty. Making the initial save, Stoughton goaltender Taylor Lyons couldnt control the rebound, which kicked right out to Hill, who scored into the empty net. The Vikings turned their own fortune against themselves from there when sophomore Max Quale took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. You cant control the bounce of the puck you cant worry about those things, Rosholt said. Youre going to get bounces both ways in a game, its how you react and recover from those.
Today we werent able to recover from that because we took a penalty that we could not have, especially in that tight situation. Oregon (4-1-0, 2-0-0) went on the power play for a minute before senior Jackson Schneider buried the puck and the Stoughton comeback with just over a minute remaining. I definitely think Stoughton helped us out by taking a couple of undisciplined penalites late in the game, Oregon head coach Rick Fleming said.
The exciting finish was far from how the game started for Stoughton as the host Panthers jumped out to a 3-0 lead through the first period. Lyons and Oregons Zach Jordan both finished with 24 saves. Stoughton hosts McFarland (3-1-0, 1-0-0) at 7 p.m. Friday. They follow that up at home at 3 p.m. Saturday against non-conference Whitefish Bay before returning to conference action Dec. 17 at home against Monona Grove (2-0-0, 0-0-0). The Vikings will have to
wait until Feb. 3 for their rematch against Oegon inside the Mandt Center.
Baraboo 5, Stoughton 1
Stoughton sophomore Max Quale netted Stoughtons lone goal on the power play in the Vikings 5-1 loss Friday against the Baraboo/ Portage co-op. Steven Mordini netted a hat trick for the Thunderbirds. Matt Murphy turned away 33 of 37 shots on goal in the loss, while Sean McCutchin stopped 35 of 36 shots on net for Baraboo.

Head coach Rami Hoaglin and the Stoughton girls basketball team knew what was coming Friday when Monona Grove traveled to Stoughton High School. The Silver Eagles, the defending Badger South Conference champion, returned much of there team from last season, and they can not only shoot, but are known for playing a very physical, full-court press from start to finish. But practice and game time are different, and in this matchup, the Vikings struggled to get past half court for much of the first half, committing 23 total turnovers in a 74-54 loss. We have to come into the game with the confidence and preparation that we know we have, Hoaglin said. The girls were prepared, but I dont think we came into the game with that confidence. And that is something we are just going to continue to build on. We need to come in know what they do, know how to counter it and not beat ourselves up. The second quarter was when Stoughton lost control. The Vikings were only down four points with five minutes to play in the first half, but Monona Grove went on a 19-5 run to close the quarter.
MG senior Taylor Nelson scored a bucket after a Hobson free throw, and then she picked up a quick steal and another basket within 15 seconds. Then MG senior Alexa Kelsey took over. She scored a 3-point play and then added a 3-pointer and a layup before the quarter was over. If you give them the ball 21 times (in the first half) they are too good of a team and are definitely going to capitalize on those, Hoaglin said. Despite the game being out of reach in the fourth, Stoughton didnt give up. Sophomore Hannah Hobson, who led Stoughton with 20 points, scored nine in the fourth while senior Payton Gross, junior Ashley Olson, sophomore Megan Boettcher and freshmen Marissa Robson and Kendra Halverson also created opportunities in the paint. Monona Grove had most of its regulars on the bench at that point, but it still had several experienced players on the floor, including starting senior McKenzie Cleary and senior Bailey Anderson. Stoughton turned what was a 34-point deficit into a 20-point deficit when the final buzzer sounded. It is nice to see Payton Gross come in and play hard all the way to the end Hannah just kept going for it and wanting
the ball in the paint. And that is what we want to see, Hoaglin said. If we do look up to the scoreboard, you can let that get the best of you. But it doesnt matter what the final score is, it is if we are playing our best basketball out there. And those two, in particular, didnt want to settle and made sure we walked out of here playing our best basketball. The Vikings fell behind 10-3 to start the game, but Halverson, senior Patricia Dumas and Hobson all scored to cut the deficit to one. Kelsey capped the quarter with a layup to make it 12-9. Monona Grove outscored Stoughton 28-10 in the third quarter. Dumas added eight points for Stoughton, while Halverson picked up seven. Kelsey led the Silver Eagles with 23 points, while sophomore Autumn Ogden and
Senior Connor Sawyers and junior Ben Schleppenbach are back to captain this seasons Stoughton boys swimming team. Connor has a lot to offer, and I think he has a lot to prove his last year, first-year Vikings head coach Karissa Kruszewski said. Connor has many goals before he graduates, and I want to see him achieve all of them. Swimming several different events throughout the season, Sawyers figures to be a key swimmer. He is the lone senior on this years team. The other captain this season is junior Adam Fryer. Both Ben and Adam are both strong swimmers, Kruszewski said. They will be swimming events I dont think they thought they could swim, but us as coaches see potential. They are some of the more versatile guys on the team. Sophomores Erik Hansen, Tristin Heisig, Sam Hynek and Gabe Ross are all returning letterwinners that should help round out the team. The sophomore class is the bulk of this team and they are learning to step up and lead, Kruszewski said. Even though they are still young, they all performed well at sectionals last year and have room for improvement and to move up at sectionals and qualify for state.
Junior Adam Fryer comes up for air in the 800-yard freestyle relay Tuesday in the 10th annual Badger South Conference Relays. Fryer, sophomore Tristan Heisig, junior Ben Schleppenbach and senior Connor Sawyers took third in 8 minutes, 28.25 seconds.
Craig Relays
relay, 300 backstroke and 300-yard breaststroke relays finish third. Out of the 12 events, our lead-off legs had four best times, Kruszewski said. We had many great swims and a show of great strides of improvement. The 400 IM relay of Ian Trautman, Adam Fryer and Gabe Ross posted a time of 4:51.35, while the 300 backstroke team of Tristin Heisig, Ben Scheleppenbach and Adam Fryer turned in a (3:55.11). Stoughtons final top three finish came from the 300 breast relay of Erik Hansen, Trautman and Ross (3:19.92). Our goal as a team is to move up at every meet we swim and slowly chase down those top teams, Kruszewski said. After just the first week of practices, the boys are already showing such improvement both physically and mentally.

I think this year has a lot in store of the Vikings, Kruszewski said. We may not have as big of a team as last year, but we are going to take what we have and make everyone better. Stoughtons next meet is 6 p.m. Friday at the Milton Invitational.

Wrestling: Stoughton wins Pieper Duals

Continued from page 11 the first home match of the season, and I didnt want to be that guy that loses, Benton said. I prepare all week in practice and have wrestled my whole life to not lose. Despite the thrill of coming back, Benton said he wanted to get the bonus points against Bregren. With the near fall, he nearly got the turn to get three extra points, but Bregren was able to hold him off. You get the feeling of a sigh of relief when you get ahead, but you cant slow down, Benton said. You have to keep the pressure on and keep working and try and get those extra points for the team, because that is what dual meets are all about. I would have liked to get a couple of more points, not get turned in that final period. Junior Zach Hasselberger also had a big match at 126 pounds against last seasons state qualifier, sophomore Aidan Yde. Hasselberger took control in the second period with three takedowns, an escape and a near fall. He added two more takedowns and an escape in the third to win a 17-5 major decision. Hasselberger wrestled really well getting the bonus points against one of their better kids, Spilde said. To get a major over a kid like that is a pretty big win. Senior Brian Wagner (220 pounds), senior Joe Pulley (182), junior Joe Nelson (145), sophomore Collin Kraus (132), sophomore Amiel Flocca (170) and freshman Garrett Model (120) all picked up match wins. Freshmen Tristan Jenny and Brandon Klein both won by forfeit. Wagner pinned junior Mike Olsen in 35 seconds, while Pulley defeated junior Daniel Sorensen 11-4. Nelson pinned junior Riley McCoy in 2 minutes, 56 seconds, and Kraus won 6-3 over sophomore Rudy Otters. Flocca won 4-0 over Max Crnkovich, and Model pinned sophomore Kyle Eberle in 1:57. The Vikings are now 6-0 in duals. Stoughton travels to Neenah High School for the Neenah Duals at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.

The perfect Christmas tree

Selecting the perfect Christmas tree is rarely easy. Slow growing trees often produce the best branch spacing to fill in all the holes without leaving a foot-tall spike at the top. Even with pruning, it is difficult to assist an evergreen into growing as we would like. If only Christmas trees were oaks, elms or aspens, things would be much easier to get the forms we want. These deciduous trees grow new leaders with little difficulty, regardless of how much pruning they receive. If we brought a deciduous tree indoors, wed never have any needles on the floor, but neither would there be any leaves on the tree, just bare branches. Evergreens commonly have unsightly seed cones on their branches during December. Some of these cones continue to shed seeds as they dry indoors. So we do the best we can with the famous evergreens, the cedars, firs, spruces and pines. At least the resin, which commonly drips onto the floor or carpet, gives the indoors a fresh scent. Jerry Davis holds a Ph. D. In Botany and Genetics and taught university biology and botany for 35 years at UWLa Crosse. Now retired, he teaches a botany course during the early summer session at UW-Madison, and writes outdoors pieces for several Wisconsin publications.

St. Ann Catholic School in Stoughton recently celebrated Grandparents and Veterans Day. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, above, presented the colors and thanked the veterans. The grandparents came for prayer, to see the school and to play games with their grandchildren. The role of grandparents is to let their grandchildren know Gods love and to pass on the faith, Fr. Randy Budnar said. At right, Wilbert Knickmeier, St. Ann School student Cole Sarbacker and Margie King share in the grandparents/special persons reception at St. Ann School.

The project is proposing to dewater an estimated 391,200 gallons of pond water, dredge approximately 620 cubic yards of sediment and place 185 cubic yards of sand in the pond basin for the purpose of creating a swimming pond.

Whether the project will materially reduce the flood flow capacity of a stream. Whether the proposed project will result in significant adverse impacts to wetland functional values, significant impacts to water quality, or other significant adverse environmental consequences. The Department will follow the steps below to reach its final decision on the application. 1. Review the plans and information provided by the applicant. 2. Review the information from public comments. 3. Review the information presented at a public informational hearing if one is requested. 4.
