A group of city residents

has launched a new civic
engagement organization,
the Stoughton Action Coalition, and plans to hold monthly meetings to address issues
of importance to residents and
voters.
Coalition member Steve
Tryon told the Hub that with
the 2016 spring elections

West Main Street to prepare
voters on what to expect.
Our group wants to be proactive in making Stoughton a
better place, and few things

T h e C o m m o n Council debates
Council last Tuesquorum rules
day appointed a
member of the PlanPage 8
ning Commission
and Redevelopment
Authority to fill a vacant seat on the council.
On a 7-0 vote with three abstentions, the
council chose Scott Truehl to represent District 4 on the citys west side until an election
is held next April. Truehl was the only applicant for the seat, vacated when former Ald.
Eric Hohol resigned after moving out of the
city in July.
Truehls bid for the seat was supported by Alds. Paul Lawrence, Sid Boersma,
Mike Engelberger, Ron Christianson, Sonny
Swangstu, Pat OConnor and Greg Jenson.
Regina Hirsch, Tom Selsor and Tom Majewski abstained.
Majewski told the Hub he didnt vote in
favor of Truehls appointment because the
vote had little meaning without other applicants in the running.
Truehl and his family moved to Stoughton
in 1991. Prior to relocating here, he had been
a member of the Madison Common Council
from April 1987 to April 91.

Braaten allegedly
collected nearly
$30K in public
assistance
Jacob Bielanski
Unified Newspaper Group

A Stoughton woman who stands accused

of embezzling nearly
$300,000 since 2009 now
faces new charges of welfare fraud from the same
time period.
According
to a criminal complaint filed
in Dane
County Circuit Court,
D e a n n a Braaten
Braaten now
faces three
additional felonies for misstating her income on BadgerCare and food stamp
applications.
A Dane County Department of Human Services
worker began investigating Braaten in June after
learning of the embezzlement charges, according to the complaint. The
investigator said Braaten
had filed applications for
BadgerCare medical assistance and food stamps
during that same period
of time but did not report
the income that was being
allegedly being stolen.
Braaten was charged in
May for virtually emptying
the account of the Stoughton Vikings Wrestling
Club, for which she served
as treasurer, and draining
the account of a woman
in an assisted living facility for whom Braaten held
power of attorney.
Braaten pleaded not
guilty to those charges on
July 6.
According to spreadsheets submitted by the
investigator, the additional income meant Braaten
was overpaid $22,227 in
BadgerCare assistance
and $7,322 in food stamp
assistance. The complaint
alleges she would not have
qualified for those benefits
based on the additional
income.
The investigator said he
underestimated Braatens
additional income, choosing not to count charges
Stoughton detective allege
were made directly by
using debit cards from the
affected accounts, according to the criminal complaint.
Earlier this year, the
investigation into Deannas alleged embezzlement
also revealed evidence
that her husband, Byron
D. Braaten illegally possessed firearms, and he
faces seven felony counts
of possession of a firearm
by a felon.
If convicted on the welfare fraud charges, Deanna Braaten faces up to
$30,000 in fines and up to
15 years and six months in
prison. A status conference
in the latest case is set for
Oct. 26.

Stoughton High School

student Thu McKenzie
is one of around 16,000
semifinalists in the 61st
annual National Merit
Scholarship Program.
They are competing for
7,400 National Merit
Scholarships worth more
than $32 million that will
be offered next spring,
according to a press
release from the National
Merit Scholarship Program.
To be considered for a
Merit Scholarship award,
semifinalists must fulfill several requirements
to advance to the finalist
level of the competition.
About 90 percent of the
semifinalists are expected
to attain finalist standing,
(students will be notified in February), and
about half of the finalists

will win a National Merit

Scholarship.
According to the press
release, to become a finalist, the semifinalist and his
or her high school must
submit a detailed scholarship application, in which
they provide information
about the students academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities,
employment, and honors
and awards received. A
semifinalist must have
an outstanding academic
record throughout high
school, be endorsed and
recommended by a high
school official, write an
essay and earn SAT scores
that confirm the students
earlier performance on the
qualifying test.

State ACT scores remain high

SHS scores top
national averages
Wisconsins 2015 high
school graduates posted
scores ranking them near
the top of the nations students on the ACT test.
According to a press
release from the Wisconsin Department of Public
Instruction, state students
average score on the test
was 22.2, second only to
Minnesota (22.7) among
states where at least half
of students take the annual assessment. Stoughton
High School students who
took the exam averaged
23.6.
Around 73 percent of
the states 2015 public
and private school graduates (46,738 students) took
the ACT, with composite
score the same as 2014.
Nationally, only 59 percent of graduates took the
test.
According to the press
release, with virtually
all of Wisconsins public school 11th-graders
having taken the ACT
this past spring as part of
statewide assessments,
ACT participation will
rise dramatically next year
and scores are expected to
decline. Those results will
be reported later in fall.

State Superintendent
Tony Evers said the ACT
test has established college-readiness benchmark
scores by tying student
test results to postsecondary outcomes.
Wisconsin students tested better than the national average in all areas.
Nationally, 40 percent of
students met three or more
benchmarks; 28 percent
met all four benchmarks.
According to the press
release, ACT research has
shown students meeting
three or four ACT college
readiness benchmarks are
likely to be successful in
postsecondary education.
Our students, their
families, and teachers will
rise to the higher expectations we set, Evers said.
The research is clear, and
business and industry tell
us, that college-ready is
career-ready. That is the
goal for all of our graduates.

Borrowing: Engelberger casts lone no vote

Continued from page 1
depending on the term of the
borrowing. Notes are used in borrowing for a period of less than
10 years and bonds are used for
borrowing longer than 10 years.
The cost of borrowing is the
same with each, said Joe Murray,
the citys financial advisor.
He said the city received the
highest rating for short-term borrowing from Moodys credit rating agency because of its financial stability, relatively low debt
and proximity to Madison.
Voting to authorize the borrowing were Alds. Paul Lawrence,
Ron Christianson, Greg Jenson,
Pat OConnor, Regina Hirsch,
Sonny Swangstu, Tom Majewski,
Scott Truehl, Sid Boersma and
Tom Selsor. Mike Engelberger
cast the sole vote against the borrowing because he doesnt support the citys use of tax-increment financing to support the
KPW development.
TIF was designed to channel
funding toward improvements in
distressed, underdeveloped, or
under utilized parts of a jurisdiction where development might
otherwise not occur. TIF creates funding for public or private
projects by borrowing against the
future increase in these propertytax revenues.
Under the citys financial plan,
it will borrow up to $4.8 million
and make only interest payments
for the three-year term of the
loan. In 2018, the city will refinance its borrowing.
Murray explained that using
note or bond anticipation notes
would give the city three years
for development to take place. It
would also allow the city in three
years to structure its debt service
payments based on whats happening on the ground at the time.
The city could pay off its
KPW-related debt in 17 years (or
sooner if there is more tax-increment generated than expected),
or it could extend the life of Tax
Increment Finance District by
another three years if the increment is less than expected.
The KPW developer Forward
Development Group is obligated under its agreement with
the city to begin paying the citys
debt service in 2018. If there isnt
enough increment to cover the
payments, the city may draw on

the developers Letter of Credit

to pay the debt service.
If theres a projected shortfall
between the increment and the
estimated principal and interest
payments, the developer would
be required to provide a letter of
credit to cover that shortfall that
would be based on the 2018 interest rate, Murray told the council
last March when it first approved
the borrowing plan.
City attorney Matt Dregne
explained that the developer is
required to provide the city with
two letters of credit initially: a
one-year letter to secure construction, and a three-year letter
of credit to guarantee the citys
debt payments.
The Kettle Park West commercial center is the cornerstone of a
planned mixed-use neighborhood
located on the citys west side at
the intersection of U.S. Hwy. 51
and State Hwy. 138. The commercial center comprises about
35 acres out of a total of almost
300 acres at the site. The developer was required to provide the
city with both letters of credit
before the city borrowed money
for the infrastructure work, which
began this summer with work on
Jackson Street. Other improvements will be performed along
the U.S. Hwy. 51 corridor and
also on State Hwy. 138.

Renewed the citys five-year

Planning director Rodney
Scheel said the new zoning classification is merely a placeholder until more specific redevelopment plans for the area are
determined. The zoning change
was opposed by John Stark, the
court-appointed receiver for Holly MillFab Holding Company,
who is charged with liquidating
the company for the highest value possible, he said in addressing the council.
Stark said he wants to reestablish a dialogue with the city
that I initiated earlier in the year
that has fallen off. He asked the
city to withdraw the rezoning
proposal because it would limit
his ability to sell the property for
the highest value.
He called the move an unlawful taking of value from this
property
He warned, This is not something that I am going to continue
to ignore.
Stark estimated the rezoning
would reduce the property value
of the MillFab site by approximately $1 million, and said he
did not receive legal notice of the
plan to rezone the property.
Mayor Donna Olson said the
city mailed the proper documents
to Stark as well as the owner of
the property. The latter document
came back to the city marked
undeliverable, she said, but the
letter to Starks office was not
returned.
Stark said, Im just trying to
protect the rights of the creditors
of the estate.
City attorney Matt Dregne told
the council he plans to address
the charge that this is an unlawful
taking of a property.
Dregne said his firm hasnt
done a thorough analysis yet of
Starks charge, but believed that
all of the legal notice requirements were satisfied.
City officials hope to redevelop
the strip of land in question along
the Yahara River and south of
downtown into a mixed-use area
of businesses and private residences. The council anticipates a
second reading of the ordinance
change at its next meeting, when
it is likely to vote to approve the
change.

Forgive Yourself
That we tend to remember misdeeds
years (and sometimes even decades)
after the original offense says something important about us. That is, we
are deeply imbued with a sense of
morality, and when we have committed a serious offense, especially one
which hurts another person, we may
have trouble getting over the shame
and humiliation, even long after the
other person has forgiven us. But what
good is holding onto all of that shame
and humiliation? We may never forget
the wrong committed, and the other
person probably wont either, if it was
something serious, but we should try
to find it within ourselves to forgive
ourselves. Jesus died for all of our
sins, even the ones we cant seem to
forgive ourselves for, and not forgiving
ourselves is tantamount to not trusting
that God has forgiven us. A good question to ask in these circumstances is
whether, knowing what you know now,
you would still commit the sin. If the
answer is no, then you have learned
your lesson and its time to move on.

Ezra Church moves to old, brick warehouse

Lofty space
invigorates growing
congregation
Samantha Christian
Unified Newspaper Group

Couples considering
The Lageret as their wedding venue wouldnt have
to look far for a pastor to
perform the ceremony now
that Ezra Church has also
moved into the old tobacco
warehouse on 515 E. Main
St.
Lead and teaching pastor
Jeff Lovell said the move,
which happened Aug. 23,
was prompted by the congregation of about 150 people outgrowing the building at 129 E. Main St. The
Personal Essentials Pantry
had been sharing the basement and meeting space
there with the church, but
it moved a few doors down
this summer, with Joining
Forces for Families.
Finding a new location for the church had
been in the works for over
a year because members
were feeling limited and
squished, Lovell said, but
the reasons went deeper
than that.
It didnt start with us
looking for a space; it
started with, What kind of
church do we want to be?
he said. And we want to be
a welcoming place for people with no church experience; we want to be a church
thats serving our community in practical ways.
A key factor in the relocation process was finding
a spot nearby.
Lovell said the growing
congregation was really committed to staying
in downtown Stoughton
because thats where were
rooted.
When word spread of the
renovation project at the
brick building just past the
fire station, it caught his
attention.
We started just having
a conversation with them
about what they were going
to be doing, and they didnt
have plans for Sundays and
other times that we needed,
so it worked out well for us
and for them, he said.

stuff of life like losing a

We say the main reason
we exist is to help people
connect and reconnect with
God, Lovell said, and
addressing local issues like
these is what Ezra Church
is all about. Members often

see the needs in the community and meet them through

service, he said.
Theyre tutoring at
schools and theyre fixing
porches for their neighbors and theyre helping
their elderly lady next door
fix her car, he said. That
stuff happens all the time,
and thats the stuff that
never gets written about,
but I think its the stuff that
makes our church great.

About 150 people were present for
the groundbreaking ceremony of the
Stoughton Area Veterans Memorial Park
at the corner of Hwy. B and Country Club

Sept. 26. The 3-acre parcel of land was
donated by Oscar and Shirley Linnerud,
who were not present but were represented by their granddaughter Shelby
Linnerud.

dirt at the site are Sonny Swangstu,

people can reflect

Truehl has served on the
Stoughton Area Chamber of
Commerce Board of Directors, the Mandt Community
Center Board of Directors,
and is presently a member
of the citys Planning Commission and Redevelopment
Authority. He is the executive vice president and a

partner of Friede & Associates Construction in Reedsburg.

The council followed its
regular procedure in filling
the vacant seat. It had Truehl
fill out a questionnaire as
part of the application process, and then asked him to
talk about his answers in an
open session of the council.
Truehl said the biggest

issues facing the city include

dealing with budget constraints, deteriorating infrastructure, the aging of our
overall population and managing growth on the citys
periphery.
One ongoing issue that
Im interested in is the
strength of our main street
and the redevelopment of the
city center, Truehl wrote. I

believe that we must always

pay special attention to the
needs of our downtown, to
keep it vibrant and maintain
a diversity of businesses.
He said one of the keys to
this effort has to be encouraging the development of
additional housing within
both the redevelopment district and along Main Street.
As the former chairman of

the RDA and now a city

alder, Truehl said he would
continue to reach out to
potential developers to have
them consider investing in
Stoughton.
Ive been very active in
the discussions regarding the
MillFab property and will
work to see how we can redevelop the riverfront between
4th and 8th streets, he said.

Council divided over quorum rule

Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

adno=431791-01

The Common Council

took about an hours detour
from its agenda last week
when it got into a disagreement over what constitutes a
quorum to conduct business.
The discussion came
up during a vote on Scott
Truehls application to fill a
vacant council seat in District 4. Three of 10 alders
present abstained from casting a vote on seating Truehl,
who was the only applicant
for the seat.
Following a 7-0 vote with
three abstentions, Ald. Tom
Selsor (D-4), pointed out that
he did not believe the council could seat Truehl because

it lacked a quorum making

the vote invalid.
A quorum is the minimum
number of members present
at a meeting before a legislative body can validly proceed
to transact business. Council
rules state that two-thirds of
the 12-member body constitutes a quorum, which means
that at least eight members
must be present to have a
quorum.
Selsor pointed out that
Roberts Rules of Order
states that those who abstain
from voting do not count
toward a quorum. He argued
with only 11 alders on the
council (one of whom was
absent) and three abstaining
from voting, that left only
seven members, which he

claimed was not enough for

a quorum.
City attorney Matt Dregne
pointed out, however, that
the councils own rules take
precedence over Roberts
Rules of Order.
Dregne read from the
councils rules, which state:
A council member who
abstains from voting for the
stated reason that voting
would violate or might be
perceived to violate a law
or ethical standard shall not
be counted for determining the number of members
present to constitute a quorum. He further explained
that since none of the alders
that abstained said they were
doing so out of fear of violating a law or ethical standard,

they must be counted when

determining if a quorum was
present.
Mayor Donna Olson then
ruled Selsors point was out
of order and that the vote to
seat Truehl was valid. Selsor challenged the mayors
ruling and asked for a vote
of the council to override or
sustain it.
Her ruling was sustained
on a 5-4 vote, with Ald. Sid
Boersma abstaining. Alds.
Ron Christianson, Paul
Lawrence, Greg Jenson,
Pat OConnor and Sonny
Swangstu voted to sustain,
while Tom Majewski, Regina Hirsch, Mike Engelberger
and Selsor voted to override
it.

Junior Sarah Benoy earned the No. 1 seed entering last weekends Badger Conference tournament and played to the first individual title for Stoughton since 1994. Benoy
won the first set of her championship match 7-6 (9-7) before Madison Edgewoods Emma Sango retired as a result of a nagging back injury.

Benoy wins No. 1 singles

title at conference

Long before stepping on the

courts inside Nielsen Tennis Stadium for the Badger Conference
tennis match last weekend, junior
No. 1 singles player Sarah Benoy

dreamt of this exact scenario.

Benoy played to a third-place
finish at conference the past two
years, but this year had a different
feeling as the junior earn the top
seed entering the two-day tournament.
Sporting just two losses on the
season Benoy went on to improve
to 24-2, winning the No. 1 singles
title over Edgewoods third-seeded
Emma Sango, who retired after

Benoy won the first set 7-6 (9-7).

Sango missed last season due to a
back injury and has been limited
this year.
I think Emma would have continued if he had won the first set,
but it was still a great back-andforth match, Benoy said. It was
really exciting to finally win a
title, since Ive been trying the last
two years.
It would be the only title of the

Benoy reached the WIAA Division 1 state tournament for a second time a year ago and went on
to win her first-round match. Shes

Stoughton falls short of third win

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

The Stoughton football team saw its shot

at wrapping up a second straight WIAA
playoff berth sail wide (right or left) of the
uprights, losing 26-24 at Milton on Friday.
Trailing by as much as nine points in the
fourth quarter, the Vikings rallied with a
4-yard touchdown strike from Jake Kissling
to Adam Krumholz. Stoughton then got
a defensive stop, which setup a potential
game-winning 24-yard field goal by Josh
Hitchcock, which was hooked wide of the
uprights.
Isaac Phillips carried the Red Hawks on
his back throughout the contest, passing for
220 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed
a 1-yard touchdown run to break a scoreless
drought in the second quarter.
Stoughton answered with a 33-yard field
by Hitchcock, who also had a 91-yard rushing touchdown.
The Red Hawks and Vikings exchanged

the lead two more times before halftime.

Milton took the first swing as Chaney
Passer connected on his only pass of the
game, hitting Joey Stivarius for a 30-yard
strike.
A 91-yard kickoff return by Zach Kirby
quickly pushed Stoughton back on top
17-13 before the half, however.
Phillips hit Stivarius for a 14-yard passing
touchdown in the third quarter.
Passer, who caught three balls for 93
yards, hauled in a 38-yard strike from Phillips in the fourth quarter to extend Miltons
lead to 26-17.
Stoughton has three Badger South games
left to become playoff eligible against Oregon (3-1), Monona Grove (2-1) and Madison Edgewood (0-3).
The Vikings host the rival Panthers at 7

Girls cross country

Vikings finish ninth out of

30 teams at Midwest Invite
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

If a young Stoughton girls cross

country team wants to be considered
one of the premier programs in the
state, its meets like Saturdays 78th
Midwest Invitational that will help the
Vikings get there.
Featuring six of the states top Division 1 programs and a second-ranked
Division 2 team, the Vikings held their
own, scoring 302 points for ninth place.
Abby Kittleson stepped up to pace
Stoughton, taking 35th place in 20 minutes, 31 seconds and Clea Roe (20:46)
finished 15 seconds later in 46th place
as the teams second runner.
A mere matter of seconds separated
Margaret Ross (21:10) and Anna Wozniak (21:12), who finished 57th and
59th as Stoughtons third and fourth
runners. Gigi Zaemisch rounded out the
top five with a lifetime best, placing
105th in 22:06.
Saturday was a great day for our
young runners, head coach Susan
Zaemisch said. Our top five runners,
Abby, Clea, Margaret, Anna and Gigi
ran tough races.
Augustyna Brestar competed but did
not score for the girls.
Fourth-ranked Arrowhead won the
meet by placing all five varsity scorers
in the top 34 for 85 points.
Sixth-ranked Kimberly finished four
points back. Eleventh-ranked Middleton (152) rounded out the top three a
distant third.
Sixteenth-ranked Madison West
(192) was fourth. Wisconsin Lutheran,
ranked second in D2, finished fifth
with 214 points, while 14th-ranked

Neenah (260) placed sixth and 18thranked Madison Memorial (270) took
seventh.
The only teams we lost to were large
Division 1 schools that featured six of
the top 20 D1 programs and one of the
top teams in D2, Susan Zaemisch said.
The mental toughness of these ladies
shows that we can compete with the
best teams in the state.
We are continuing to close the gap
between conference rival Oregon.
Besides Gigi Zaemisch the Vikings
also had lifetime bests by Erin Boettcher, Kirsten Sanford and Gabrielle Skerpan, while Emily Reese placed 17th
in the JV race earning the teams only
medalist.
Stoughton was without Aly Weum,
who is recovering from an injury.
The team goal since day one has
been winning conference, Susan Zaemisch said. We took a great step in
that direction this weekend.
We have two more weekends of racing and girls are continuing to try different strategies that will help make
them run their best on October 17.
Our top runners have been working
hard through their nagging injuries and
I have confidence that their hard work
will have them ready to run strong at
conference.
The Vikings host the Stoughton Invitational at 9 a.m. Saturday.
The meet will feature several teams
on the Wisconsin Cross Country
Coaches Association Division 1 state
poll, including top-ranked Stevens
Point, third-ranked Sun Prairie, fifthranked Appleton North, 11th-ranked
Middleton and 18th-ranked Madison
Memorial.

Boys cross country

Vikes finish in upper half of Midwest invite

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Juniors Owen Roe and Tristan Jenny

both improved by more than 30 seconds
from their previous weeks effort to lead
the Stoughton boys cross country team Saturday at the 78th Midwest Invitational.
Roe led the way, covering the 5k Blackhawk Golf Course in 17 minutes, 12 seconds good for 56th place. It was 31 seconds faster than 11 days earlier at the Badger Challenge.
Jenny also bounced back with a solid
race, taking 79th place in 17:28 to help the
Vikings finish 11th out of 37 teams.
We ran well at the Midwest Invite.
It was a fast course, but we also showed
improvement, head coach Pat Schneider
said.
Almost the entire varsity top seven ran
either seasonal or lifetime best times to
help the Vikings beat Monroe for the first
time this year, which was especially good
since Garett Model (the teams top runner)
did not run as he was invited to an elite
wrestling camp.
Madison La Follette, ranked atop
the Wisconsin Cross Country Coaches

Associations Division 1 state poll, saw all

five varsity scorers finish in the top 30 for
top place with 70 points. Finn Gessner led
the field in 15:22.
Kimberly finished a distant second with a
102, while Madison Memorial (142) came
in third overall.
Senior Gabe Ross broke 18 minutes to
finish 97th overall as the Vikings third
runner in 17:49.
Sophomores Carson Fleres and Collin
Maloney rounded out the back, crossing the
finish line within a tenth of a second of one
another, taking 126th and 127th in 18:09,
respectively.
Carson probably ran the best race of
anyone on varsity, Schneider said. He
went from being on JV at the start of the
season to being our fifth runner at Janesville.
Sean McLaury and Ed Zeichert both
competed on varsity, but did not score.
The Vikings host the annual Stoughton
Invitational, which will feature top-ranked
La Follette, fifth-ranked Madison Memorial, eighth-ranked Stevens Point, 12thranked Sun Prairie, 13th-ranked Middleton, 18th-ranked Baraboo and 15th-ranked
Verona at 9 a.m. Saturday.

to prevent the Crusaders
from tying the game late.
It is always about getting better every game, and
in this game, we saw what
our potential was, head
coach Dave Wermuth said.
We know there are a few
things we can tighten up,
but we are marching forward.
They are playing fantastic.
Stoughton had several
chances to score, but it
wasnt until the 81st minute when senior Ben Stefanic found senior Spencer
Weeden in the box to put
the Vikings up 1-0.
It just came down to
the fact that we had the
majority of the possession
for the whole first half and
the whole second half but
we couldnt convert. We
finally put one in, and that
turned the tide and we kept
the pressure up, Weeden
said.
After Stoughton took the
lead, Edgewood started
to push and forced senior
goalie Erik Hansen and the
defense to buckle down.
Despite allowing several

close calls, the defense

answered.
As a whole, we had
a letdown for about five
minutes, but our defense
kept us in it. Erik and our
two back defenders Noah
Doll and Andrew Beszhak
all kept us in it, Wermuth said. It was a matter of realizing what we
needed to do. They woke
back up, and they got that
second goal too.
Senior Nathan Varese
scored the dagger in the
89th minute for Stoughton.
Hansen finished with
three saves. Edgewoods
Aaron Ring finished with
nine saves.
The Vikings are now 1-2
in the Badger South, while
Edgewood drops to 1-1.
I think we have just
been looking at our previous games and how we
have been dropping off
after 60 to 70 minutes in.
We have been working on
keeping it up and getting
ahead to not have a drop
off, Weeden said. I think
we started doing that in
these last few games.
Hopefully, we can keep
this conference streak rolling.

Stoughton travels to Fort

Atkinson at 7 p.m. Thursday and then to Evansville at 6:30 p.m. Friday.
Stoughton also travels to
Madison East at 11 a.m.
Saturday and hosts Monona Grove at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6.

Watertown 2, Stoughton 1
The Vikings traveled to
Watertown on Thursday
and fell 2-1.
Stefanic scored the lone
goal for the Vikings, while

saves.
Dan Esquivel and Jake

Watertown.
Watertowns Steven
Jonas had six saves.

Stoughton 3, Baraboo 0
The Vikings hosted
Baraboo on Saturday and
won 3-0.
Senior Ethan Genter collected a goal, while Stefanic had a goal and an assist.
Weeden also scored, and

picked up an assist.
Hansen finished with

Stoughton turns in 20 best times, knocks off Fort

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Coming into Tuesday evenings

Badger South Conference dual meet
at Fort Atkinson, the Stoughton girls
swimming team knew they had a
chance to do something special.
We tried to put our best line up
out there knowing it would come
down to the second and third swimmers in each event, and those girls
really shined for us, said Vikings
head coach Katie Liebmann whose

team won its first conference dual of

the season, 100-70.
Maddie Kooima, Sophie Pitney,
Haley Foss and Abbie Kooima
opened the meet by swimming to a
meet-best time of 1 minutes, 20.6
seconds in the 200-yard medley
relay.
Maddie Kooima went on to add a
pair of individual titles on the night,
taking the 200 IM in 2:25.25 and the
100 backstroke in 1:06.98.
Sophie Pitney chipped in by winning the 100-yard breaststroke in

1:19.79
Audrey Killian secured Stoughtons final individual title by claiming the 500 free in 5:55.
The Vikings had 20 personal best
swims at the meet, including Sophia
Thompson who dropped three seconds in her 100 fly.
After the 50 free, all three girls
Ashley Foss, Pitney and Abbie
Kooima approached me with huge
smiles on their faces as all of them
reached a personal goal, Liebmann said. Elizabeth Hammond

continued her streak of best times,

with personal bests in both the 200
IM and 100 breaststroke.
Stoughtons JV team prevailed
72-33.
Erin McCune was named the
swimmer of the meet for her excellent attitude and for trying the 500
for the first time, Liebmann said.
We can all take a lesson from her
when it comes to individuality and
positive attitude, she said. She has
amazing sportsmanship, and I love
having her here with us.

Conference: Vikings finish runner-up in Badger South Conference

ranked fifth in Division
1 by the state coaches poll,
51-39.
Waunakee, which also
won the Badger North dual
season, claimed the Badger North crown for the
sixth straight year, winning
championships at five out
of seven flights.
It was great for our
program, finishing third
behind Waunakee, which is
fifth in the state in Division
1, and Edgewood, which
is No. 1 in D2, Reischel
said. Coming away with
32 points is a great tournament for us. Im very
pleased with our kids.
Sophomore No. 4 singles player Paige Halverson was the only other
Stoughton singles player to
reach Saturdays semifinal
round.
Halverson rolled Isabelle
Krier of Oregon 6-3, 6-1
and then defeated Monona
Groves Paige Marten 6-4,
6-2. She meanwhile, held
off DeForests Grace Fanson 7-6 (3), 6-3 for third
place.
Saturday morning however pitted Halverson
against top-seeded Lexi
Cords of Waunakee, who
took the match 6-0, 6-0.
Cord went on to defeat
Morgan Grover of MG for
the No. 4 singles title.
Sophomore No. 3 singles
player Gigi Barberino suffered a similar fate, rolling
6-1, 6-2 against Portages
Greta McKinnon before
falling to top-seeded and

October 10, 2015

eventual champion Amanda Schuster of Waunakee

6-1, 6-0.
The Vikings advanced
all three third-seeded doubles flights on to Saturdays semifinals, but much
like their dual meet five
days prior, were unable to
get the better of Madison
Edgewood, settling for a
trio of third-place finishes.
Third-seeded juniors
Payton Kahl and Kendra
Halverson nearly blanked
Portages Reilly and Hicks
6-0, 6-1 in their one match
Friday.
Saturday morning presented a much bigger challenge, however, falling to
the eventual runners up
Maddie Molitor and Abby
Fox of Edgewood 4-6, 6-1,
7-6 (2).
Top-seeded Bailey Chorney and Bobbi Stricker
cruised 6-0, 6-0 over Molitor and Fox in the championship match.
Kahl and Halverson
meanwhile, played to a
third-place finish with a
6-3, 6-2 victory over Miltons Faith Dittmann and
Bethany Crandall.
Sydney Johnson and
Holly Brickson entered
the conference tournament
seeded third just like Kahl
and Halverson. And just
like their teammates, they
fell to the Crusaders in Saturdays semifinals.

on Saturday can help her

become the second Stoughton singles player to be
seeded at the state tournament.
Benoy sat through a firstround bye and then blanked
Baraboos Alexa Lindsay
6-0, 6-0 before being pitted
against Monona Groves
Amanda Newman on Saturday morning in the semifinals.
Benoy held on to win
6-4, 7-5 to setup a championship showdown against
Sango, who was held out
of the Vikings 6-1 loss at
Edgewood.
The thing about Sarah
is nothing is going to come
easy to her opponent,
head coach Ryan Reischel
said. There were five or
six points in the first set
against Edgewood that she
probably had no business
being in, but she just has a
never say die attitude and
scrapped together a couple
of points that were the difference in that first set.
Jessica Inman, who Benoy defeated for Stoughtons lone win in that dual
four days earlier, was the
only other player not from
Waunakee to win a conference championship. Inman
secured the No. 2 singles
title with a 5-7, 6-4, 6-2
victory over top-seeded
Laura Kamm of Waunakee.
Junior Anna Nelson
breezed past Baraboos
Taylor Fish 6-1, 6-1 before
falling 6-0, 6-2 to Inman in
the second round.
Stoughton, which went
5-1 during the regular season, finished second to
Madison Edgewood in the
Badger South and third
overall at the Badger Conference tournament with 32
points.

tournament with a bye at
No. 3 doubles before cruising to a big win, knocking
off Hayley and Sydney

Between now and then
though, the Vikings travel
to the Sun Prairie Quad

they will face the Cardinals
as well as playoff rivals
Watertown and Lake Geneva Badger.
Were all really excited
about this meet because
it gives all the girls three
meaningful matches against
competition we will see at
sectionals, Reischel said.
It will be a good measuring stick for everyone as all
our girls lost to at least one
of the teams they will be
playing earlier this season.

through education, advocacy and direct involvement
in government.

Springman said the impetus

behind creating the coalition was to find a better
way to get people together
around a range of issues.
We thought lets create something thats nonpolitical, thats inviting and
open-ended and that didnt
care if youre Democrat,
Republican, Independent,

Libertarian or Green or
whatever, he said. We
decided to meet at eateries
instead of public buildings
to create a different atmosphere. Some of the towns
around us have pretty active
civic groups and they meet
in restaurants or coffeehouses.
The coalitions next
event will be Nov. 7 and
will focus on testing in the
public schools.
Springman said theres a
core group of about eight
city residents involved in
planning topics and finding locations for upcoming
events.
