Born during the silent-film era, the

honored attendees at the Stoughton
Senior Centers annual luncheon for
residents age 90 or older provide wisdom and wisecracks.
Step from table to table, ask a couple of questions and the answers
come across thoughtfully, even if a
few apologize for hearing woes and
politely ask you to speak loudly.

lunch, rarely venturing beyond anything newer than Doris Days 1956 hit

Twenty-eight people, each older
than Charles Lindberghs 1927 flight
across the Atlantic Ocean, were celebrated at the April 28 event, which
has been held for nearly 30 years.
Center director Cindy McGlynn said
the number of people living that long
keeps growing each year. Almost 90
invitations were distributed this year.

A housing development
that was approved seven
years ago is back on track.
At its April 26 meeting,
the Common Council gave
the go-ahead for the first
phase of the Nordic Ridge
development, which would
put new streets, infrastructure and 40-41 homes in
whats presently a cornfield near West Milwaukee
Street and Hoel Avenue.
The council approved a
development agreement for
the first phase of the project on a 11-1 vote, with
only Ald. Kathleen Tass
Johnson voting against the
resolution.
She later told the Hub she
voted no because she wasnt
around when the project
was introduced and didnt
feel shes been on the council long enough to be sure
of the projects ramifications. She won a Dist. 2 seat
in the April election.
Harvest Farms LLC is
planning to eventually build
225 single and two-family
units on about 71 acres. For
the first phase, the company
plans to develop about 40
units on 12 acres.
The development agreement approved last month
requires the developer to

provide a letter of credit
and guarantee completion
in 12 months before work
can begin.
The original deal was
approved on Nov. 18, 2009.
Mayor Donna Olson said
the developer had decided
to put the project on hold
because of a weak economy at the time.
The purpose of the
agreement passed April
26 is to require the developer to construct public
improvements needed to
serve the housing development, city attorney Matt
Dregne explained.
He suggested the council amend the development
agreement so a requirement
that the public improvements have to be done at
the prevailing wage rate
is eliminated, because
the state Legislature had
passed a law prohibiting it.
Now the law says prevailing wage rates do
not apply to this type of
c o n s t r u c t i o n , D r eg n e
explained.
Ald. Mike Engelberger
(D-2) suggested amending the agreement to state
the developer should follow the prevailing wage
requirement, subject to current law.
If it doesnt apply it
doesnt apply, he reasoned.
The council agreed and
amended the resolution
to reflect Engelbergers
motion.

When former streets

foreman Rick Gullickson
learned the Hub was planning to publish a story
about his boss Karl Manthes upcoming retirement,
he didnt waste any time
displaying his sense of
humor.
I cant
have any
stories done
Im on a
witness protection,
Gullickson
said with a
Gullickson
laugh.
The citys
human
resources manager, Amy
Jo Gillingham, noted that
Manthe and Gullickson
have a collective 64 years
with the city and will be
hard to replace.
The institutional knowledge that the two of them
have is going to leave a
major void, she said.
Gullickson, 57, went to
work for the city in April
1988 and worked as the
streets foreman for 16
years. He retired May 3.
I was born and raised
here never had enough
smarts to move away, he
joked.
All joking aside, Gullickson said, he enjoyed his
career.
You get your ups and
downs, but theres been a
lot of good things, he said.
Still, dealing with customers can be tough, trying to explain the policies
and sometimes they dont
want to follow it. We deal a
lot with the public.
Like Manthe, Gullickson started as a laborer and
worked his way up through
the ranks.

learned a lot through my
years here, just about dayt o - d a y o p e r a t i o n s , h e

more than people realize.

here.
He said in retirement,

possible to make everyone

happy all the time, a fact
that goes with the territory.
The biggest thing is
making sure you respond
to phone calls and emails,
he said. Most people will
understand. Sometimes they
do want to vent, and you
just have to listen to them.
It makes things go so much
better when you communicate with the public.
Some of the biggest challenges, he said, have been
when the community was
divided over a particular
issue. Recent examples
have been the Kettle Park
West development and a
disagreement over how to
best manage the citys turf
grass.
Were always trying
to work on those issues to
make sure that everything
is working out, Manthe
explained. Change isnt
always easy, and some
people oppose it. That can
make it a hard job.
With the turf management issue, he said, we had
to walk a fine line and compromise to make everybody happy, because one
side didnt want the city to
use chemicals and the other wanted better turf in the
parks.
We try to be sensitive to
what people want, he said.

chunk of the city budget,
he said.
Manthe said one of the
most rewarding aspects of
his work has been the satisfaction of being able to
help the residents.
That includes brush or
leaf collection, as well as
making sure the streets are
cleared after a snowstorm.
Our crews get out there
and we get the whole city
cleaned up so people can
move on with their day-today lives, he observed.
He said most people
cant imagine the dedication it takes to get out of
bed in the middle of the
night to plow streets.
I appreciate the extra
effort our people put in, he

He added that after he
completes projects around
his home this summer and
fall, he may start looking for
another job but it would be
one where he doesnt have
to make lots of decisions or
bring his work home every
night.
Youre always taking

said. Ive always looked

at this job as like being on

could be a thunderstorm with

and all that goes with that.
Id like something where
you can punch out and then

time without worrying about
everything, he said.
In reflecting on his time

with the city, Manthe said,
Its stressful, but I tried to
make it enjoyable and fun.
Im pretty easy going. We
have a good team, and the
stress is easier to take when
youve got good support.

Highway 138 connection

hampers KPWs Phase 2
Three other projects
receive Planning
Commission approval
TOM ALESIA
Ald. Tom Selsor, a Planning

Commission member, drew a
line in the sand that echoes much
of his alder peers stance if the
housing-dominated Kettle Park
West Phase 2 is ever finalized.
Selsor wants a drawing from
Forward Development Group
that displays a link to Hwy. 138.
The preliminary plat discussed at
Monday nights meeting did not
have that.
Stop showing us a plat that
dead ends and show us how it
joins (Hwy.) 138, Selsor said.
I want to see that on paper. Itll
give us strength with the state.
The states Department of
Transportation did not have its
position ready on any link to
Hwy. 138 early this week, but
has repeatedly rejected the idea
in communications with the

developer and the city.
That connection to Hwy. 138
has been a demand of several
city alders in the past months.
FDGs attorney Dan OCallaghan
said hes waiting for the DOTs
approval.
We understand the connection
has to be there, OCallaghan
said. Its not in the picture, true.
Its still on the plan. Its still in
the written language of the plan.
As a result, the Planning Commission used Mondays meeting for informational purposes
about KPW and never voted on
a motion to approve the preliminary plat.
Expansions
Three projects were passed
unanimously Monday:
Primal Strength and Fitness,
150 Bus Park Circle, received a
recommendation to the Common
Council to amend an ordinance
and allow the business to provide an outdoor obstacle course.
Owner James Brook told the Hub
that the course could have several
uses, from a companys employee teamwork to high school student training to former military
member exercise.
Lotus Salon, 2380 Jackson
St., received approval to develop
a new building at 907 Nygaard
St. near Wood View Drive.
Project architect Jeff Davis
said the expansion is due to
demand. Theyre growing, he
told the Hub.
Deaks Pub & Grill, 1017
Nygaard St., received approval to
expand its kitchen by 20 percent
and alter the nine-year-old business.
The bar and the dining room
are in the same room now, owner Jamie Bush said to the Hub.
Were just trying to split them
up.
The matter will next go to the
Public Safety Committee to discuss parking expansion.
Bush, who has been working
to get approval for the expansion
for 18 months, said it will significantly liven up (Deaks).

County program collects 218 boxes of drugs

Thanks to the efforts of
the Dane County Narcotics
Task Force and Safe Communities program, 218 boxes of prescriptions drugs
were collected in the county
May 2 as part of a Wisconsin Department of Justice
drug take-back drive.
The boxes were collected
by members of the task force
and delivered to a regional
drop-off site for proper and
safe disposal. The weight of
the boxes was estimated at
3,805 pounds.
According to a county
press release, unused prescription medications in
homes can create a public health and safety concern, because they can be
accidentally ingested, stolen, misused and abused,
according to the press
release.
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention, in 2015 more
people died in the U.S.
from drug overdoses than
in any other year on record.
Overdose deaths involving

prescription opioids have
quadrupled since 1999,
and so have sales of prescription drugs. The most
common prescription drugs
involved in overdose deaths
are Methadone, Oxycodone
and Hydrocodone.
If people have leftover
or expired prescriptions in
their medicine cabinet, they

Lorimer of Stoughton on
Dec. 14, 1915. She grew up
in the Stoughton area. She
attended Ripon College,
then studied architecture and
graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1940.
She received her Masters
degree from the University
of Wisconsin.
During WWII, she
worked for GE in Schenectady, N.Y., where she met and
married Ivan C. Baucom, Jr.
In 1945, their son Michael
was born. After the war,
Mary Jane and Ivan attended
the University of Illinois at
Champaign-Urbana, where
they both received degrees
in architecture. Together,
they practiced architecture
in Jackson, Miss., and then
moved to McFarland, Wis.,
where Stephen was born in
1951. They soon moved to
Rockton, Ill. and Janet was
born in 1953. In 1957, the
family moved into the home
that Mary Jane and Ivan
designed in The Ledges area
of Roscoe. This remained
Mary Janes home until her
death. In the late 1960s,
she started a new career as
librarian at Keith Country
Day School in Rockford,

from which she retired in
the 1980s.
Throughout her life,

Craig M. Bloyer
Craig Bloyer
Craig M. Bloyer, age 51,

of Stoughton, entered the
clearing at the end of his
path, on Wednesday, May 4,
2016, at his home.
He was born on April 7,
1965, in Cheyenne, Wyo.,
the son of Arnold and Gail
Bloyer. He married Patricia
Cornelius on Dec. 27, 1986,
in Maquoketa, Iowa.
There were many trials
and tribulations along the
path, but I feel like I handled them each with grace
and maybe even a little
style. I have accomplished
a lot since I first set foot on
the path. I was able to see
both my kids graduate high
school, watch my daughter
receive her bachelors, as
well as her masters degrees.
My son is well on his way
to his bachelors. Although
I wasnt always present at
shows, I took great pride in
my daughters horse-showing career. I was able to be
there for my sons two state
baseball tournament appearances, at 12 years old and
high school, where they
finished 3rd both times.

C r a i g e n j oy e d b o o k s
and was a Stephen King
fan. He loved music, movies, motorcycles, cooking
and trying new things. He
earned a black belt in karate and enjoyed playing and
coaching sports. Craig officiated high school football
for many years. He was a
very involved and loving
husband, father and son.
Craig and Pat were longtime
members of First Lutheran Church. He worked for
Walmart for many years,
most recently as a pharmacy
tech, and continued working
through most of his illness.
Craig was honored to share
his story as a featured speaker at the 2013 Relay for Life.
He is survived by his wife
of almost 30 years, Patricia; daughter, Caitlin; son,
Connor; mother, Gail Bloyer; and sister, Vikki (Jeff)
Slavin. He was preceded in
death by his father, Arnold
Bloyer.
Funeral services were held
at First Lutheran Church on
Tuesday, May 10. A private
burial will be held at a later
date.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the
family, Stand Up 2 Cancer
or First Lutheran Church.

generation? Film dance

why do these continue to
last?
Hecht said he began
making the connection
between Frank and Lee a
few years ago, at a program
where he was lining up
the works of both authors,
providing a comparison of
sorts. He said Franks story
resonated with the people
he was talking to.
Anne Frank would have
been the same age as some
of the participants, he
said. I read passages from
her diary, and women there
in their late 70s or 80s or
90s would respond by saying, Gee, I was taking care
of the tobacco in Wisconsin while this girl my age
was dealing with that.
Hecht said when it
comes to studying big
topics like World War II,
it helps to simply focus on

the life of a single person
through the event. That was
the case for Frank, who he
said grew up fast as was
evident from her diary.
You see her going from
the age of 12 or 13 to in
some cases to 80 or 85
years old, because she was
discovering things, Hecht
said. When she was hiding out, she found out a lot
of things people dont pay
attention to. Dealing with
her own emotions, falling
in love with someone else
who was hiding.
From Lee, Hecht said
he learned that life is not
simply black and white,
but in shades of gray, as
she examined her fathers
strengths and weaknesses.
She points out her dad
was very hesitant about
really giving every right
in the South, and promoting civil rights, but he
would defend any man of
any religion and any color
under the rights of law, he
said. Its great to watch
Harper Lee find out who
she is through her own
family. She was looking
at all that and dealing with
all that.

All work is honorable if it is performed honorably and with diligence.

There is an interesting passage in the Gospel of Luke where tax collectors and soldiers are asking John the Baptist what they should do. He
tells them, in essence,to be honest tax collectors and soldiers:Dont
collect any more than you are required to, and to the soldiers he
advised, Dont extort money and dont accuse people falselybe
content with your pay.(Luke 3:13-14 NIV) These tax collectors and
soldiers must have been wondering if their occupations were morally
acceptableunderstandable since they were in effect working for the
Roman occupiers of Judea. John the Baptist tells them that these occupations are permissible as long as one does them honestly. There are
lots of occupations that one might have these worries about, but with
very few exceptions, most occupations can be done honorably.

That set up a tiebreaker, which

led to Krumholz clearing 6-1
before anyone else to take first
place.
This was a perfect night for
things like that to happen. Adam
put in 22 jumps today, so that
should get you tired. His body
now knows what that feels like,
so when we get to conference and
we get to regionals he knows how
that feels, Kramolis said.
Junior Nathan Moll added a
third place in the 400 in 51.76,
while senior Jakob Benson
(52.32) and junior Jacob Tobie
Freshmen Anna Wozniak

and Margaret Ross might not
have won any events Friday
at the annual Stoughton Invitational, but the two girls did
have one of the better races
of anybody on the team in the
two mile.
Wozniak (12 minutes, 5.56
seconds) and Ross (12:06.90)
both PRed by almost 25 seconds on their way to second
and third place, as Sun Prairie
junior Trista Pringle cruised to
the event win in 11:15.01.
Those performances helped
the Vikings finish second to
Sun Prairie (105 points) with
81 points.
Junior Aly Weum also had
a big day. First she ran toe-totoe with DeForest senior Val
Larson in the 400 and ended
up second in 57.54 Larson
set a meet record in 57.43.
Weum then came back in the
800 and went from third to
first in the final 100 meters to
take the title in 2:19.27.
The 4x200 relay (senior
Shelby Orcutt, junior Payton
Kahl, junior Kendra Halverson and junior Maddie Posick)
finished third in 1:52.03, and
junior Marissa Robson and
Kahl tied for third in the high
jump with a leap of 5 feet.
They are on track for some
good things, whether that is
a conference title or whether
that is placing high at conference we dont know that
at this point in time, head
coach Eric Benedict said. We
have to keep working hard to
get better in some areas, and
hopefully that can happen.
Kendra Halverson was
fourth in the 100 in 13.41,
while freshman Alexandria
Ashworth was fourth in the
mile in 5:35.7. Freshman
Abby Kittleson was sixth in
the mile in 5:37.42, and Orcutt
finished sixth in the 100 hurdles in 17.76.

Senior Adam Krumholz clears 6 feet, 2 inches in the high jump Friday in the annual Stoughton Invitational. Krumholz won the event, along with the triple (43-6) and long
jumps (20-8).

ANTHONY IOZZO
Senior Adam Krumholz continues to win events for the Stoughton High School boys track and
field team, and he once again
stole the show Friday in the annual Stoughton Invitational.
Krumholz won the high, long
and triple jump, which helped the
short-handed Vikings finish fifth
with 80 points.
On top of that, the 4x100 relay
(Krumholz, junior Kyle Malmquist, sophomore Sam McHone
and sophomore Jordan DiBenedetto) PRed by a second in the first
of two heats, finishing third overall in 44.63 seconds.
It is reassuring knowing that
we are that close to the really
good competition. Having a meet
like this and bringing in some
big D1 schools makes for a good
day, head coach Trevor Kramolis
said. We had really good individual nights including Krumholz winning the high, triple and
long jumps. Our 4x100 relay was
actually in the slow heat which

is very reassuring because you
never know what could happen
when they are in fast heat.
Krumholz won the triple jump
with a leap of 43 feet, 6 inches and later added the long jump
with a leap of 20-8, but it was the
high jump that saw the most drama.
Krumholz, DeForest senior
Abrahm Schroedl and Madison
La Follette sophomore Amaree
Howard all reached 6-2. Howard then tried to clear 6-3 and
couldnt. Krumholz and Schroedl
tried to clear 6-4 and 6-3 and
couldnt.
Softball
Stoughton shuts out Fort,

moves back into first place
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Two days after the Stoughton softball teams first Badger South loss to a
then-winless Milton squad, the Vikings
kept their lead in the conference with a 6-3
road win at Fort Atkinson.
I think it was extremely important for
us to come back tonight and start a new
winning streak, Maddy Beske said. We
have five seniors on this team and no conference titles. We want to get our names up
on the wall (in the SHS gymnasium) with
all the other sports so bad.
Holly Brickson went the distance, striking out 13, including the tying run at the
plate in the bottom of the seventh. She

allowed three earned runs on three hits.
It was the first time the Vikings swept
Fort Atkinson during the regular season
in at least six seasons, head coach Kristin
Siget said.

I was mainly just looking
to get on base and drive in
some runs, Beske said. I
wasnt really thinking at all.
I just kind of let my mind go
blank and hit the ball.
Stoughton nearly continued the inning when Kayley
Novotny appeared to single and a run scored. That
was before the umpires got
together and overturned
the initial ruling to end the
inning on a questionable
call at first base.
From my point-of-view
it looked like their first baseman was way off the bag in
the air, Siget said. Fort
appealed it and the home
plate umpire overruled the
call, saying she never left
the bag. To us, it looked like
she was a foot in the air.
Fort Atkinson nearly took
advantage of the ruling. A
pair of walks and a two-out
single by Dunkelberger over
second base cut the Vikings
lead in half. Kat Brandl then
walked to send the tying
run to the plate, Tess Baker,
who Holly Brickson struck
out to end the game.
Stoughton took a 3-0 in
the top of the first inning
without a hit, walking three
times before getting RBI
sacrifice flies from Tepp and
Beske. Blackhawks pitcher Ashlyn Brandl threw 43
first-inning pitches.

Posick added an eighth-place finish in the

Benedict said that four seniors Hannah
Hobson, Haven Polich, Gryttenholm and
Orcutt have helped lead the younger girls

We are really starting to see that leadership now, and I think the younger girls are
coming around with it, he said.
Next up for the Vikings is the Tom Mueller invite at 4:30p.m. Friday at Oregon High
School before the Badger South Conference
meet at 3:30p.m. Tuesday, May 17, at Fort
Atkinson High School.
I think Oregon is a very good team, and
(52.65) added sixth and

seventh places, respectively, in the 400. Senior Max
Quale was third in the pole
vault with a height of 12-0.
Stoughtons 4x400 relay
(Benson, Tobie, McLaury

win events, and now we
have to get kids that can get
points, Kramolis said.

took fifth in 4:04.76.
We have a week and a
half before conference, and
hopefully our muscle memory will maintain for us,

is the Tom Mueller invite
at 4:30p.m. Friday at Oregon High School before the

meet at 3:30p.m. Tuesday,
May 17, at Fort Atkinson
High School.
I definitely want to use
(the Tom Mueller invite) as
a tune up just to make sure
that we are still maintaining
times. I would like to get
some younger kids on JV
into that meet just to give
them some experience in
a varsity meet to get them
ready for the future, but I
would like to get my varsity kids in there because
I want to win meets, and I
dont want to give them the
mindset not to win, Kramolis said.
It is at Oregon and that
is our rival. To win another
meet on their track would
be really nice before conference, Kramolis added.

statement.
8. No person may appear before the
board of review, testify to the board by
telephone, or contest the amount of any

before the first meeting of the board, or
at least 48 hours before the objection
is heard if the objection is allowed unders.70.47 (3) (a), Wis. stats., that person
provides to the clerk of the board of review notice as to whether the person will
