new shows
SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN
Unified Newspaper Group
The Stoughton Junior

Fair will be bringing in
some big and burly acts to
mark its 90th year bears
and wrestlers. But, for both
their sakes, you wont find
them performing in the
same area.
The festival, which will
be held at Mandt Park
from July 1-5, will feature The Great Bear Show
from Texas and Brew City
Wrestling from Milwaukee.
Fair board president Steve
Wethal said these additions
were chosen to attract new
people to the fair.
Were always looking
for new ideas. It gets stagnant if its always the same
(thing), he said. It fit
into our budget, and were
excited about it.

Catfish River Music Festival returns for second year

BILL LIVICK
The folks who bring a ton of

great music to the Stoughton
Opera House each year are doing
the same for the second annual
Catfish River Music Festival.
The festival, held July 3-5 at the
Rotary Park Gazebo downtown,
has been organized chiefly by
Opera House director Bill Brehm,
with help from events coordinator
Christina Dollhausen.
This years festival is entirely
free to the public and includes 17
mostly local acts ranging from
folk and bluegrass to jazzy funk
and honky-tonk roots music.
Theres even a Madison band
Moonhouse coming with its
own folkadelic sound.
Most of the musicians are from
the Madison area, but a few acts
will come from as far away as
Duluth, Minn.
Its going to be a nice laidback weekend with a wide variety of stuff, Brehm promised.
Its music that we (the organizers) like, but I think other people
will like them, too. Were trying
to have something that everyone
will enjoy.
The biggest change from last
years inaugural festival is there
wont be ticketed performances
inside the Opera House. Instead,
all the music will take place in
the park next to the fire station

unless rain forces the music
inside to City Halls second-story
theater.
The festival will have lots of
food and beverages, including
beer and wine, under large tents
next to the park. There will also
be a host of activities children,
including Dave Landau, who
kicks off the music on Sunday at

Music, fireworks
changes
After roaming around the
carnival and seeing the animals, people may want to
find a place to sit and relax.
Aside from the musical performances normally held at
the community center, some
bands will also be playing in
the food court this year.
The Soggy Prairie Boys
will play their brand of bluegrass tunes for the second
straight year. People are
invited to grab a bite to eat
at the food court and listen
to their energetic solos and
four-part harmonies from
5-7 p.m. Thursday, July 2.
They can return to the same
spot at 5 p.m. Sunday, July
5, to hear six musicians with
the 132nd Army Band play
country tunes of yesterday
and today in their group,
Country Enough.
Since Independence Day
lands on a Saturday this
year, organizers decided the
budget was too tight to do
the fireworks two days in
a row. The only fireworks
display will be held at dusk
(around 9:30 p.m.) on the
last night of the fair, Sunday, July 5.
This year, the fireworks
may be launched from the
citys street department
parking lot, but the 20-30
minute display will still be
visible from the fairgrounds.
These men wont be the

only ones wrestling. The
fair is also bringing back pig
wrestling to the grandstand
at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 3.
Tickets to watch the show
are $5. Kids under 2 are free.
Those ages 9 and older
who would rather go noseto-snout with the swine can
form a team. Registration is
$20 per person and is accepted until 7 p.m. Thursday,
July 2 or until full. Forms
and rules are available on the
fairs website.
Despite differing views
on the event, fair organizers
consider pig wrestling safe
for both parties.
We do everything we can
to maintain the safety of pigs
and people who are wrestlers
(so) everyone leaves happy
and healthy, Wethal said.
This year, the horse pulls
will be moved to the grandstand since the crowd was
getting too large for the arena. The event starts at 7 p.m.
Thursday, July 2, and tickets
are $7 for adults; $4 for kids
12 and under.
It will double our capacity and (will be) handicap
accessible, Wethal said.

A sincere and heartwarming thank you to all of Kay Bothums family and
friends for the cards, gifts and the visits.
To the cardiac unit at Meriter, a big thank you for the care each of you
provided. After her discharge and her arrival at Agrace Hospice the quality
of care and compassion continued. Kay was so very appreciative of the
caring CNAs. Especially Lisa, Tammy and Emily. Yo u treated Kay with
care, compassion and made her feel comfortable knowing that Agrace
would be home until her passing. We cannot forget about the Nurses at
Agrace. Each of you show such respect, compassion and genuinely care
about your patients and go above and beyond. Mary and Robyn, you
helped Kay throughout the transition. Yo u listened and made certain that
she was comfortable right to the end. For this we are truly grateful.
It was Kays wishes not to have an obituary or any services, her only
request was to write a thank you so her family, friends and those who took
care of her knew how much you meant to her.
Thank you,

As fairgoers drive
toward the fairgrounds
along South Fourth Street
next week, theyll notice
the traffic pattern has
been reversed.
Traffic will now enter
from the southwest corner of the park, driving
counterclockwise on
Mandt Parkway and exiting at the northwest corner back to South Fourth
Street, with parking and
entry still free.
Fair board president
Steve Wethal said the
new route was made in

people who want to go
swimming, so they dont
have to drive all the way

Fair entries can be checked
in from noon to 9 p.m. on
Wednesday, July 1.
The 4-H Olympics Arena
will be held Thursday evening, and the kiddie tractor
pull and farm tractor and
truck pulls will be held Saturday.
The fair is also known for
its tasty evening meals at
Mandt Community Center,
including a steak dinner July
2 and fish fry July 3. This
year, the chicken dinner has
been swapped out for a barbecue rib dinner July 4.
Those dinners are actually put on by the Stoughton
Fair, (but) were a total volunteer group, so we do have
people (from other groups)
who come in and help us,
Rob White, fair board member and past president, said.
But the funds go right back
into fair to keep it free.
He said volunteers with
nonprofits also work the
counter at food stands and
receive a donation from the
fair.
Prices for the carnival
wristband specials have
increased to $22 and $27.
The carnival will be open
daily until 10 p.m. during
the fair. Rides start at 4 p.m.
July 1-2, and at noon July
3-5.

1958. He has been doing

The Great Bear Show since
1977 and used to do educational elephant shows with
37 Asian elephants, as well,
but it got to be too expensive.
Steele cares for and trains
17 bears at his 200-acre
property in northeast Texas. Some of the bears find
homes at licensed facilities,
while others go on the road
with him to events to educate the public about bears in
the wild and in captivity and
why he rescues them.
We talk about the different species of North America, the dos and donts of hiking in bear country, and well
bring the bears out and show
some of their skills stuff
theyd do naturally out in
the wild, he said. You can
actually get your photo taken
with one.
He starts training bears
when they are around 8
months old, but it takes
years for them to become
stable and used to everything, including loud noises
like fireworks and race cars.
But Steele said there have
never been any incidents at
the shows, except for when
someone tried climbing the
fence which he quickly
stopped.
Theres absolutely no
contact, he said. Too much
liability.
Although attendees can
see the bears most days
from their portable pen at
the fair, Steele is planning
several free shows each day
inside a fence to educate the
crowd about bears and highlight their skills of balancing,
rolling a barrel, dancing and
even comedy. Show times
will be posted at the display.

Festival: Wide variety of musicians to perform at Rotary Park Gazebo July 3-5
11 a.m., followed by Lou and Peter
Berryman.
Music events begin at 4 p.m. Friday, July 3 and end Sunday, July
5 at 9 p.m., just before a fireworks
display at Mandt Park, where the
Stoughton Junior Fair is also taking
place.
Brehm said last years music festival was well received in the community and drew throngs of visitors to the city. He anticipates even
more people this year, as news of
Catfish River is more widely disseminated.
Weve got some great folk
music and bluegrass, funk and jazz
and all sorts of different stuff,
Brehm said. Im looking forward
to seeing and hearing all this music
and think its going to be a ton of
fun.
He and Dollhausen have come
up with a phrase for the festival that
they feel is apt: Catfish River

No Name Stringband kicks things

Thanks for supporting the Kegonsa

Elementary School Carnival
We would like to thank all
of the Stoughton families who
attended our 2015 Kegonsa
Carnival.
We had beautiful weather,
unbelievable attendance,
and tons of fun. This event
wouldnt have been successful without the support of
many local businesses and
volunteers.
The River Bluff and
Stoughton High School students who volunteered to
help showed incredible poise
and talents working with our
young students. It was fun

to see so many alumni come
back to help out. Two former
Kegonsa students even provided their DJ service for our
musical entertainment.
We feel fortunate to have so
many supportive people who
help to make Kegonsa a great
school!
We look forward to seeing
you all at the 2016 Kegonsa
Carnival.

Clarification
Common Council Alder Greg Jenson was quoted in the
June 18 edition of the Courier Hub saying hed received phone
calls from both Forward Development Groups attorney and
Wal-Marts attorney after his vote not to allow the developer
to use contingency funds for Kettle Park West until the project
is substantially completed. He told the Hub the attorneys had
urged him to reverse his vote when the council reconsiders the
decision. But on Tuesday, Jenson said he misspoke, and that
the attorneys had called him prior to the June 9 vote, not after it.

sophistication, as the bands music

is described on the Catfish River
website.
Progressive bluegrass is on tap at
4 p.m., when the quartet Sortin the
Mail takes the stage, followed by
Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank at
5:45 p.m.
Hailing from the Duluth area,
the duo consists of brothers Ian and
Teague Alexy, who have tirelessly
played, sang and stomped their own
brand of Americana in big cities
and small towns all over the country, according to the Catfish River
website.
They play a bit more hard-edged
bluegrass, Brehm told the Courier
Hub. Those guys are wildmen.
The music closes with the only
Milwaukee-based band to appear at
the festival, Im Not a Pilot.
Brehm described the band as an
interesting kind of pop-folk group
thats up and coming.
They have an amazing cellist
who plays the cello like a rock star
for the group and also in the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, he
said. Their sound has been called
intricately melodic, blending
rock and classical music.
Letters to the editor policy

Unified Newspaper Group is proud to offer a
venue for public debate and welcomes letters to
the editor, provided they comply with our guidelines.
Letters should be no longer than 400 words.
They should also contain contact information
the writers full name, address, and phone number so that the paper may confirm authorship.
Unsigned or anonymous letters will not be printed under any circumstances.
The editorial staff of Unified Newspaper
Group reserves the right to edit letters for length,
clarity and appropriateness. Letters with libelous
or obscene content will not be printed.
Unified Newspaper Group generally only
accepts letters from writers with ties to our circulation area.
Letters to the editor should be of general public interest. Letters that are strictly personal lost
pets, for example will not be printed. Letters
that recount personal experiences, good or bad,
with individual businesses will not be printed
unless there is an overwhelming and compelling
public interest to do so. Letters that urge readers
to patronize specific businesses or specific religious faiths will not be printed, either. Thankyou letters can be printed under limited circumstances, provided they do not contain material
that should instead be placed as an advertisement and reflect public, rather than promotional
interests.
Language, quotations, facts and research that
are contained in a letter but come from another
source should be attributed. Plagiarized material will not be published. Chain letters will not
be printed, nor will letters already published in
another newspaper or magazine.
Political endorsements and other election
letters must be submitted by the deadlines
announced in Unified Newspaper Groups publications and website. Generally, this is about two
weeks before the relevant election. Other special
rules apply during election season.
Unified Newspaper Group encourages lively
public debate on issues, but it reserves the right
to limit the number of exchanges between individual letter writers to ensure all writers have a
chance to have their voices heard.

Mary Manci of Stoughton High School is one of

more than 250 Wisconsin
students who will participate in this year's Business
World program at Edgewood College in Madison
from June 28 through July
1.
According to a press
release from Wisconsin
Business World, the sessions provide hands-on
business experience for
students and teach them
about the challenges facing business. The program has educated nearly
14,000 high school students from across the
state.
During the Business
World first-year program,
student participants will
be divided into teams of
10-12, who function as
an imaginary "company"
for the program. With the
task of turning their company into a financial success, they will create a
unique product, develop
marketing strategies, and
design a commercial. In
addition, students interact
with guest speakers, tour
local companies and compete in an online business
simulation. The hands-on
activities focus on career
preparation and workplace
skills for success.
Business World also
has an advanced program
component for students
w h o s u c c e s s f u l l y c o mpleted the first-year program to return for a more
advanced session. The
a d v a n c e d p r o g r a m s t udents focus on the bigger
picture of business including marketing and ethics,
and they help mentor the
first year students.

Obedience
The story of Adam and Eve is difficult to
understand. Why was eating from the tree
of knowledge of good and evil prohibited?
The knowledge of good and evil is the
root of having a conscience, and having a
conscience is invariably praised as a good
thing. The account in Genesis links eating
from the tree of knowledge with death: You
are free to eat from any tree in the garden;
but you must not eat from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, for when you
eat from it you will certainly die. (Genesis
2:16-17) Why was it necessary for them
to die if they ate from this tree? These are
perhaps unanswerable questions, and while
it certainly is cause for wonder why knowledge of good and evil is linked to our mortality, perhaps a simpler way to look at this
story is to remember that it is part of the
creation story, and God is making the rules
as he makes the world. What he says literally creates the rules, just as it creates the
world, and Adam and Eve were cut off from
the tree of life because they were disobedient. Jesus restored our access to it by being
obedient to Gods will, accepting an agonizing and ignominious death on a cross. Are
we being obedient to Gods will in our life?
Christopher Simon
And He said, Abba, Father, all things are
possible for you. Take this cup away from
Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what
You will.

Heritage Center opens in

May amid much fanfare
BILL LIVICK
The May opening of the

Norwegian Heritage Center
Livsreise (Lifes Journey)
after more than two years
of planning and a year of
construction, was a significant development for the city
and its business community.
The center has enhanced
Stoughtons Norwegian
identity and is intended to
draw more visitors to the
community in support of
local businesses.
Bryant Foundation trustees
June Bunting and Jerry Gryttenholm devised the concept of the education center
in 2011 to tell the stories of
actual Norwegian emigrants
who arrived in Wisconsin
between 1825 and 1910.
The pair planned the
15,000-square-foot center
in tribute to the late Janet
Bryant, who died in 2010
and established the Bryant
Foundation to honor her late
husband, Edwin, one of the
founders of the Nelson Muffler Corporation which later became Nelson Industries
and is now Cummins.
The Heritage Center occupies the corner of West Main
Street and North Page Street
in bold fashion, with steep
gabled roofs and an auburn
exterior. And the large building is even more impressive
inside. A 43-feet-high vaulted ceiling lends a feeling of
spaciousness thats bolstered
by the bright, airy Exhibition
Hall, where semi-permanent
displays tell individual stories of Norwegian emigrants.
Other attractions include
a genealogy center, a special
exhibits room and a 68-seat
auditorium. Just enough
room for two busloads of
visitors, Gryttenholm said.
He and Bunting planned
the center to work closely
with its neighbor, Sons of
Norway Mandt Lodge, and
partner with other Norwegian heritage entities in the
area, including the Naeseth
Library in Madison.
The centers first visiting

Museum in Decorah, Iowa,

Exhibits room. It features

historic artifacts, including
hand-painted trunks, intricately decorated musical
instruments, tools and linens.
From the beginning, Gryttenholm has stressed that the
center will exist to complement the good things that are
already here in the city.
We dont want to compete with anybody, and
were not about making
money, he said in an interview last year with the Courier Hub. We want to make
sure that the business community understands that.
Bunting and Gryttenholm
said the community, as well
as visitors to the city and the
center, have responded very
positively to the new facility.
A week ago we had 250
visitors on a Wednesday, and
that included the sixth-grade
class field trip, Bunting said
Monday. They had a marvelous time. Most comments
weve received are about
how people are amazed that

a building like this, with that
technology, can be in a small
city like Stoughton.
Gryttenholm those types
of comments have come
from all over the country.
One couple that stopped
in was from Connecticut,
and they had a hard time
believing that a community our size could do what
weve done, he said.
I think people look at it
as being totally about the
Norwegians, but it isnt. Its
about our community; its a
support for the community
as well as the Norwegian
side of it.
Gryttenholm said there
have been a few glitches
with the technology, but
you expect those things

to happen. Were getting
through that, and the reception has been phenomenal.
Hes now going through
the citys approval process
to build a parking lot for
the center across the street,
which would include altering entrances and exits from
the lot.
That has been complicated, he said, because Hwy.
51 is a federal highway,
which means the types of
changes he hopes to build
require city, state and federal
approval.
Gryttenholm said he hopes
construction can begin this
summer, but hes not sure
when the project will get
underway.

Focus on Stoughton
KPW unevenly moves ahead
BILL LIVICK
The Stoughton Chamber

of Commerce started heading
in a new direction this past
year following the departure
of executive director Erica
Dial in April.
Dale Volenberg was
selected to lead the chamber
after Dial announced that her
family would be moving to
Washington state later this
year.
Volenberg is a Stoughton native who grew up on
dairy farm in Utica, went
to Stoughton High School
and spent most of his career
working at Cummins and
Nelson Global. Hes got a
good feel for the community,
he previously told the Hub.
I just really enjoy working with the community and
the city officials to make
things better for Stoughton,
Volenberg said.
He sees the importance of
promoting what the city has
to offer as a way to get more
large employers to move to
the city, and hes planning
on using his 32 years of business expertise to make that
happen.
Volenbergs big, longterm goal is to bring a large
technology business to the
city. Doing so would bring
more high-paying jobs to the
citys already solid industrial
economy, he said.

Sustainable Stoughton member Ingrid West goes over the plan for a new Wal-Mart at Kettle Park
West with a consultant during an open house last year.
In November, the Common Council approved a

second version of the development agreement, which
calls on the city to provide
about $5 million in tax
increment financing assistance and the developer to
sell four of seven lots in the
35-acre commercial center
phase of the development by
June 30. The developer was
also obligated to provide
the city with two letters of
credit, in the amount of $5.3
million.
Earlier this month, the
council granted the developer, Forward Development
Group, a 60-day extension

because FDG has not been
able to sell the lots required
or provide the necessary letters of credit.
The companys lender,
McFarland State Bank, had
reportedly asked FDG and
the city to bring Wal-Mart
into a separate agreement
with the city that guarantees
the company will build a
153,000-square-foot Supercenter and open the store by
Dec. 31, 2017, at a value of
at least $12 million for tax
purposes.
The Supercenter is
planned to be the anchor of
the commercial center.

In return for Wal-Marts
guarantees, the city must
promise to complete public
infrastructure improvements
should the developer default
on the project, or allow WalMart to complete the offsite improvements using the
citys borrowed money.
The new deadline for selling the lots and providing
the letters of credit is Aug.
31 of this year.
Mayor Donna Olson and
six members of the Common Council have backed

In order to
do that, he
plans to market the positive aspects
of the city
the school
system, the
Volenberg
downtown
and Stoughton Hospital to prospective
companies like Exact Sciences of Middleton or Epic in
Verona. Adding that type of
industry would be a catalyst
for small businesses, home
sales and school district
enrollment, but the challenge
will be to make connections
with decision makers who
work in those industries.
While adding to the citys
industrial economy could be
a long-term boost, Volenberg
has a few short-term goals to
help grow the city.
He highlighted the education system as a bright spot
for the community, and said
he hopes to work with the
district to make sure people
outside the community are
aware of all the good things
the school system is doing.
He also wants to continue
to meet with local businesses
and merchants to work on a
road map of what will help
them succeed. Volenberg
also wants to expand some
community events to make
them even more appealing
and profitable.
MARK IGNATOWSKI
The Kettle Park West

development on the citys
west side induced three
referendum questions and
needed two deadline extensions but managed to move
ahead in fits and starts in the
past year.
The proposed development has been the subject of
intense passions from both
advocates and opponents. A
group opposed to the project
and especially using the
citys financial assistance to
make it happen conducted
a petition drive this winter
and managed to place two
advisory referendum questions on the April ballot. A
majority of voters opposed
building the project and
an even stronger majority
more than 60 percent of
voters objected to the city
using tax increment financing to help fund infrastructure improvements leading
to the development.
The voting results prompted one KPW backer to
announce in April that he
would not approve a third
version of the development
agreement, but Ald. Eric
Hohol has since softened
his position and recently
approved a 60-day extension
of project deadlines.

Helping hands move to Main

Pantry, Joining
Forces for Families
will share building
SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN
Stoughtons Personal
Essentials Pantry and Joining
Forces for Families nonprofits will soon share the same
downtown building at 343 E.
Main St. to increase their visibility and accessibility for
the people they serve.
PEP, which provides free
personal and household
hygiene products to those in
need from 1-5 p.m. on the
first and third Thursdays of
the month, already moved
into the space in June. The
pantry originally shared
the basement and meeting
space with Ezra Church,
just a few blocks down at
129 E. Main St.
JFF, which collaborates
with county agencies and
communities and focuses
on prevention to care for
families and create safer
places to live, will tentatively set up in the new
office space in August.
Some services will continue to be held at the Dane

a proponent of moving the

JFF office to a more central
location in Stoughton.
The move was actually
to enable people to know
where our services are and
to become more visible and
accessible for people we
serve, she said. (Getting)
the site downtown is basically what JFF is all about.
Its wanting to serve people
where theyre at.
She explained that there
are more than a dozen community social workers at
various sites in the county
that provide grassroots social
work to help families in

need, especially to help them
get services and resources.
Sharing the space with
PEP just seemed to fit.
Im excited about that
location because its also
right next door to the local
city government and it also
collaborates with PEP, she
said. Its a great connection for both nonprofits.
The pantry is now located on the same floor as its
gathering space, rather than
in the basement, which
gives PEP more flexibility. Since PEPs volunteers
need Internet access for their

computers to track inventory, they are temporarily borrowing Wi-Fi from neighboring business Koffee Kup.
One of the main things
is that its on same floor,
we dont have to go up and
down (the stairs), PEP copresident Pat Brestar said.
(Things) are going great;
were all moved in.
David Marshall, who
works with JFF as a human
resources program specialist, said JFFs lease of the
building is pending county board approval, even
though the landlord gave
JFF the keys in June.
But Marshall and Brestar
agreed that everything is
coming together for both
nonprofits. Even though
Mason-Boersma will no
longer be residing in the
JFF office, Marshall is
glad she will still be nearby
when helping out with PEP.
We look forward to having her around, he said.
Joe Sullivan, with Oregon/Belleville JFF, will be
filling in for Mason-Boersmas position until Lacey
Arimond starts full-time
in August. Arimond has
been working with juvenile
justice for the county and
speaks Spanish.

Stoughton Area School District
Recent education changes

prompt new visioning session
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Nearly four years ago,

the Stoughton Area School
District held a three-day
visioning session attended by more than 100 people from a variety of walks
of life to help guide the
district through the next
decade.
That process will continue this upcoming school
year, when district officials plan to hold a similar
but smaller event to gather
more input from a variety
of community members on
the future direction of the
district. The main reason,
Stoughton Area School
District superintendent
Tim Onsager wrote in an
email to the Hub, is a lot
of changes in public education since then.
We want to revisit
our Strategic Plan so that
it reflects our changing
times and incorporates
community input as far as
what direction we should
take, he said.
While a date has not yet
been set for the session,
which is likely to be held
on a single day, Onsager said he anticipates it
will take place during the
upcoming 2015-16 school
year, with input expected
from many of those
who helped develop the
districts current strategic
On the web
For more information about the

plan. That plan, eventually passed by the school
board in January 2013,
was shaped in large part
by the 2011 visioning sessions, held at Stoughton
High School and attended
by a variety of community
members, including business owners, seniors, educators, parents and district
officials.
Through numerous
meetings of large and
small groups that concentrated on both the past and
possible future of the district, several main themes
emerged: developing more
connections with the community, diversifying its
funding sources and producing graduates with
critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Those
themes were then included
into Strategic Plan, which
according to the district
is designed to help guide
Stoughton schools through
more rigorous state standards, standardized testing, a declining enrollment
trend and an uncertain
financial outlook.
The Livsreise Story

Following 3.5 years of planning and construction, Livsreise, Stoughtons Norwegian Heritage Center, officially opened
to the public on May 16, 2015.
Livsreise features a permanent exhibit area focusing on the Norwegian immigration to America from around 1825
to 1910. There is also an exhibit area that currently features some of Vesterheim Norwegian American Museums
traveling display; a genealogy center that is directly linked to the Norwegian American Genealogical Center and
Naeseth Library in Madison; an interactive map of Norway tracing immigration routes; various vignettes telling the
immigration story and a small, handicapped accessible, auditorium that will seat 68 people.
Livsreise is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm.

that has yet to be worked

out with contractors, and
that on some days, the
librarys back door will be
used as a public entrance.
MacDonald said during
construction, a majority of adult books will be
listed on library computers
as unavailable, as they will
need to be stored either in
the basement of off-site for
several weeks.
He said people can call
the library or check the
catalog to see what books
are available, and when the
changes begin in July, the
librarys website (stoughtonpubliclibrary.org) and
Facebook page will provide
updates and information.
BILL LIVICK
The citys arts scene continued to expand in the past

year, with new business
openings and music events,
and the official designation
of an arts and entertainment
district downtown.
Last October, the Common Council approved the
Stoughton Arts Councils
proposal to establish the
district. The Arts Council
has been busy fundraising
to purchase and install new
signs marking the district.
The organization also hopes
to raise money to eventually be able to commission
public art installations and
launch a marketing campaign.
While the Arts Council
works toward those goals,
organizers of a music series
and a music festival have
been achieving their objectives.
The Gazebo Musikk
series began last year
thanks to the work of organizers Tricia Suess and
Stoughton Parks and Recreation director Tom Lynch.
Held at the Rotary Park
Gazebo, the series hosts
live performances that are
free to the public.
In its inaugural year, the
series included six concerts staged from 6-7:30
p.m. This years second
season began May 28 and
The Catfish River Music Festival welcomes families and kids of all ages.
runs through Aug. 27, with

a total of 13 concerts in an
array of styles, from blues
and classic rock to folk and
alternative country, honky
tonk, bluegrass, western
swing and jazz.
In addition to the weekly
concerts, a music festival
is also slated for the park.
The Catfish River Music
Festival, organized chiefly
by Opera House director
Bill Brehm, returns July
3-5 with a total of 17 concerts also all free to the
public. Coinciding with the
Stoughton Junior Fair, the
festival drew large numbers
of people downtown last
year and promises to do it
again this July.
Were taking all the
best stuff from last year
and making some changes
and improvements, Brehm
said.
The festival will be
held entirely outside this

year instead of headlining
shows taking place in the
Opera House although the
indoor facility will remain a
backup in case of rain.
The Opera House itself
continued to thrive in the
past year, with more than
70 ticketed performances,
including national stars
such as Rosanne Cash,
Henry Rollins, Marty Stuart
and The Carolina Chocolate
Drops.
Its popularity is a big
part of why several businesses have opened within
its vicinity in the past year:
the Viking Brewpub, the
new Fahrenheit 364 bar,
AmundArt Hus and Wendigo restaurant.
Earlier this year, Wendigo began bringing live
music to its small stage on
Friday and Saturday nights,
beginning around 9 p.m.
adno=414527-01
To comply with the

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the
librarys single front doors
will be replaced with double doors, and exterior
outdoor lighting will be
added, along with a security camera system. The
first-floor restrooms and
circulation area will also
be enlarged.
Plans are to start moving
items from the second floor
in July, a process MacDonald said would likely
take the entire month. He
said there probably will be
some days when the library
will have different hours
to accommodate certain
construction tasks, though

With its stately brick edifice and collegiate-looking

archway and columns, the
Stoughton Public Library is
never going to be mistaken
for a clubhouse.
Still, the goal is to make
patrons of all ages feel
comfortable, and that as
well as enhancing their
safety is why the next few
months will include a bit
of controlled chaos at the
library as its second floor is
remodeled.
The idea behind the
$660,000 renovation of
which the city paid $410,00,
with the library picking up
the rest in donations and
grants is to provide a
safer and more welcoming
place, said library director
Richard MacDonald earlier
this year.
He told the Hub that bids
for new signage, shelving
and furniture were accepted
by the library board June 18
and will be on order soon,
as the contractor would like
to begin work Aug. 3, with
a goal to finish in October.
As part of the project,
the second floor area will
receive new library grade
shelving, an increase in
square footage and display
space, improved lighting
and furniture, more electrical outlets and new carpeting. Meeting rooms will
be moved and enlarged,
the service desk will be
slimmed down and a new
teen area will be created.

Stoughton Mayor Donna Olson and Forward Development

Group development manager Dennis Steinkraus visit in 2013 at
the groundbreaking for Nelson Global Products new facility in
Business Park North.
KPW: Construction starts

the project because they see
it as a key to further economic development in the
city. The developers longterm plan involves developing roughly 300 acres of
what had been farmland,
with future phases including
a residential housing project.
Supporters say the city
needs to draw new residents
and especially young families to Stoughton in order
to turn around declining
school enrollment numbers.
Construction of infrastructure improvements
along Jackson Street has
already begun, while the
city waits to see if the
developer can meet its
obligations in the next two
months.
Construction bids for the
off-site improvements were
opened in May and came
in about $1 million higher
than the developer had estimated. This caused FDG to
ask the citys permission to
spend contingency dollars
now, at the front end of the
project, instead of waiting
to use those funds, if necessary, near the end of the
Phase 1 work.
The request was defeated
in a 7-5 vote on June 9, but
Ald. Greg Jenson, a KPW
supporter who cast the
deciding vote, has told the
Courier Hub he will reverse
his vote when the council
reconsiders the matter so
that the project can move
forward.

it is due to overuse of the muscles that bring your wrist up. Golfers elbow is
pain on inside of the elbow and it is due to over use of the muscles that bend
your wrist. Tennis and golfers elbow can also cause difficulty lifting or grasping
objects, and any repeated movement of the wrist and elbow. Managing symptoms include: avoiding repeated movements when able, and including stretching
and strengthening of the arms, icing area and use of tennis elbow strap. Exercise
needs to be at pain free level. If symptoms do not improve an Occupational

DENTAL CARE
BUILDING PROFESSIONALS
Q. What can I do about sensitive teeth?

A. To help treat sensitive teeth, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently brush your teeth and gums.
Q. I am asked quite often what is the most economical energy efficient wall system that
I can build?
A. There are so many options available these days with new building products. The problem with

Visit our website: www.shawbuilders.com
Avoid using hard-bristled toothbrushes and brushing too vigorously, which can wear down the tooth's root
surface and expose sensitive spots. Take a look at your toothbrush. If the bristles are flattened or pointing
in multiple directions, you're putting too much pressure on your teeth. Practice holding your toothbrush
like a pencil to allow for brushing with light pressure.
Sensitivity toothpastes, which contain strontium chloride or potassium nitrate, are very effective in treating
sensitive teeth. Regular use should make your teeth feel less sensitive. Choose a fluoridated toothpaste and
avoid using tartar control or whitening toothpastes, which can increase sensitivity.
Thor J. Anderson, DDS
Highly acidic foods such as oranges, grapefruits and tomatoes, as well as tea and soda can increase tooth
sensitivity, and work against any sensitivity toothpaste. If you do not get relief by brushing gently and
using a desensitizing toothpaste, see your dentist. There are treatments that can be applied in-office to the roots of your teeth to reduce
sensitivity. High-fluoride containing home care products can also be recommended to help reduce sensitivity. Please call Yahara
Dental, at (608) 873-7277 for more information on sensitive teeth

new products is that they havent been around long enough of know if there will be problems down
the road with them. I have see a lot of new products that have come and gone for one reason or
another. Most builders now day are building with 2x6 studs that are 16" on center. Then they put 716"
OSB over the exterior of the studs. I always put either 1",112", or 2" foam over the OSB. This gives
you insulation over the studs, headers, and floor areas that usually dont have any or little insulation.
Then we cover the foam with a build wrap product the keep the moisture out of the wall and stop the
wind. Then your siding goes on next. In between the studs we usually see fiberglass bats, spray foam,
or blown in blanket insulation. Fiberglass bats is the least energy efficient but very cost effective.
RESPITE CARE
ADVERTISING
Q. What is respite care?

A. Respite care is temporary, intermittent care provided to an elder or those
with disabilities so the regular caregivers may have an opportunity to have

some time for themselves.
Respite care not only benefits the senior caregiver. Seniors appreciate respite
care as it provides them an opportunity to socialize and converse with
someone other than their primary caregiver. The variety of having someone
else come into the home adds to their enjoyment of life.
Stephen Rudolph
And when you schedule respite care to give yourself valuable downtime,
FACHE, CSA
youll likely be more enjoyable company for your loved one, as you will be
more rested and relaxed.
Without respite care, youre more likely to become resentful, depressed and more susceptible to
infection and illness--all of which you can pass on to the loved one you are caring for.
Do yourself and your loved one a favor by making good use of respite care.
