Closing on
MillFab by
years end
Officials: Purchase
before study is
completed will
save money
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group
The Common Council

last week voted to waive
an environmental assessment and instead close on
the purchase of the MillFab property on the Yahara River before the end of
the year.
The assessment will
still be conducted, said
redevelopment consultant
Gary Becker, but city officials have decided there
are financial benefits to
purchasing the 6-acre
property sooner than the
Feb. 1, 2017, closing date
the city had included in
its offer to purchase.
The city anticipates
receiving a $225,000
Department of Natural
Resources grant to conduct the environmental
site assessment, but the
money would have been
awarded after the citys
closing date.
If the city had decided
to wait for the assessment
to be conducted, it would
have lost money it had in
escrow and would have

had to pay about $24,000
in 2017 property taxes.
Officials said the city
would probably purchase
the property regardless of
the environmental assessment outcome, anyway.
In August, a court and
a court-appointed receiver for Holly Moulding
Corp., owners of the MillFab site, approved the
citys offer of $750,000
for the property. The site
is part of a 16-acre area
between South Street and
the Yahara River officials
hope to eventually redevelop, likely into some
mix of commercial and
residential property.
The citys Redevelopment Authority, which is
the entity that made the
actual offer to purchase,
was scheduled to meet
Tuesday after the Hubs
production deadline to
consider endorsing the
councils decision.
City officials said the
process got reversed
normally the RDA would
make a recommendation
to the council because
of a tight schedule to
make decisions.

Tax-increment financing
is a key economic-development tool for cities in Wisconsin, but the way it works
is not well understood by
the general public, says
Laura Trotter, executive
director of the Stoughton
Chamber of Commerce.
Thats why the chamber
is hosting an educational
forum on TIF next week,
featuring a trio of speakers with extensive knowledge of the public funding
source.
Trotter hopes for a big
turnout so people have a
better understanding the
next time TIF is requested
to facilitate development.
Its come to our attention that TIF is going to be
discussed as part of a lot of
the projects that are being
proposed in the city, Trotter told the Hub Monday.
And the last time TIF was
discussed for a development project, it seemed to
become a very controversial
subject.
That is a reference to the
Kettle Park West development, which is anchored
by a Wal-Mart Supercenter. Last year the Common
Council narrowly approved
roughly $5 million in TIF to
build the infrastructure and
public improvements for the
35-acre KPW commercial

Enrollment
decline continues
State Hwy. 138 reopened

at the end of last week after
two months of construction
to add a roundabout and
other improvements near
the Kettle Park West development.
The road was closed from
the intersection with U.S.
Hwy. 51 west for about a
half-mile beginning Aug.
10. Improvements made
were the roundabout, additional lanes leading into the
commercial center, lighting
and lane widening.
A detour, recommended
by the state Department of
Transportation, took drivers
south on an alternate Hwy.
138 to Hwy. 59, then west
to Hwy. 14 and north to

Since the first third Friday count of 2010, the

district has a net loss of
270 students, which is
more than any current
class in the district, aside
from this years senior
class of 288 students.
According to district
statistics, enrollment losses look to continue into
the future. The districts
four largest classes are
currently grades 9-12,
averaging just over 252
students each. Coming
into the district, however,
the four newest classes
(excluding 4K) average
only 199 students per
class.
The steady, slow enrollment decline continues

at the Stoughton Area

released last month by the

students, down 45 from

A bike lane on Kings Lynn Road that

some residents have complained leads
nowhere will remain in place after the
council voted unanimously last week to keep
it, along with restricted parking where the
lane exists.
That follows a decision Sept. 27 not to
extend a bike lane on the east side of Kings
Lynn Road north of Roby Road, and also not
to impose a parking restriction on the same
stretch of roadway.
The bike lane in question last week, which
is also on the east side of Kings Lynn Road
but south of Roby Road, was the subject of
a petition drive over the summer. Property

Scott De Laruelle
owner Mark Johnson, who lives on Kings

Lynn, collected 55 signatures in July requesting that the bike lane and parking restriction
on the street be removed. He submitted the
petition to police chief Greg Leck, but the
Public Safety committee rejected the request.
Ald. Scott Truehl (D-4), who also lives on
Kings Lynn Road and supported removing
the bike lane and parking restriction, asked
to have the matter on the councils Oct. 11
agenda, but he was not present last week
when the council voted unanimously to keep
the bike lane and parking restriction.
Kings Lynn is whats known as a collector
street and was built wider than the average
city street to accommodate a bike path.
Ald. Dennis Kittleson (D-1) attempted to
convince the council to refer the issue back
to the Public Safety committee and also to
direct city staff to paint only crosswalks but
not the bicycle lane. Both motions failed to
win majority support.

construction Friday, Oct. 7.

The 14,775-foot expansion will double the capacity for Stoughton Parts,
allowing for more existing
products and additional
products on the shelves.
Eventually, it will also
create between five and seven more jobs, said Stoughton Parts general manager
Steve Terrill.

Vote McKim for Dane County clerk

Citizens looking for a candidate with impeccable credentials for county clerk must
consider Karen McKim. Karen
is running as an independent
and that has kept her below
the radar in highly Democratic
Dane County.
Karen is highly skilled,
compassionate and approachable. Her interest in the county
clerks position is no coincidence. Karens professional
career was devoted to making sure government works
through records and audit
management, which she did for
the Supreme Court, Legislative
Audit Bureau and Department
of Health Services.
Upon retirement, she
turned her passion and skills
into making sure that our
democracy works by assuring

that elections, from start to finish, have high voter confidence
and absolute voting integrity.
In 2012, she founded an Election Integrity Team which
developed a cutting-edge
system for confirming election results. She is regionally
known and highly respected for
her innovative work! The risks
to our elections have increased
dramatically in recent years
and we need someone highly
skilled and 100 percent committed to election integrity
at all steps. That is why I am
voting for Karen McKim and I
hope you can do the same.

Nixon cause of GOPs dysfunction
Chamber Comment
How did the Republican Party get saddled with the likes of
Donald Trump? The answer is
Richard Nixon.
Richard Nixon, taking a page
from Barry Goldwater, created
what is known as the Southern
Strategy, which was to convert
conservative Southern democrats to the Republican Party.
The South is, by all measures,
the least educated, Confederate
remnant of the American social
and political scene precisely
those ignorant right-wing, climate change denying, Obama
birthers and xenophobic,
sexist and redneck folk south
and north who find Trump
appealing. This faction will be

with us a long time.
It is not the Republican
Party my dad belonged to. It
is not the Republican Party
I supported as a young man,
though I have been a centrist
progressive and a Democrat
most of my life. But had I had
Minnesota residency in 1960, I
would have voted for Nixons
first term.
The irony is Richard Nixon
would never have survived in
his own party were he active
today. He is too liberal.

Oft-misunderstood TIF
deserves an explanation
ets talk about TIF.

If youve read any further (and your eyes havent
glazed over), your response may
well be: Huh?
As in, what is TIF, why should
I know anything about it and what
does it have to do with me?
Exactly.
The Stoughton Chamber of
Commerce is working to fix that,
starting with
a presentation
about the potential value of TIF
tax-incremental financing
this month.
If youve
been paying any
attention over
Trotter
the past few
years, youve
heard about TIF
a method of using future property taxes to encourage development
more than once. Communities
all across Wisconsin, including
Stoughton, have used TIF while
actively seeking to bolster their
finances and their futures. Theyve
turned to TIF time and again for a
variety of reasons and projects.
Other states have different,
probably more lucrative financing options such as outright tax
abatement in their economic
development toolbox, but in Wisconsin TIF is far and away our
strongest tool.
You might recall a time when it
seemed this newspaper was dominated by articles and letters to the
editor about TIF, Kettle Park West
(KPW) and the future of Stoughton. Rightfully so. KPW is a big

project in town and TIF was and is
a key component.
But at the same time, we also
read and heard a good deal of
misinformation about the subject.
Terms such as corporate welfare
and the like were thrown about
rather loosely, and depending on
whom you talked to or what you
read, you might have been convinced that the KPW TIF would
raise your taxes, kill your lawn
and probably take down the clock
tower at City Hall.
Little of that was true, of course,
but rumors, misconceptions and
fibs have a way of taking on a life
of their own.
If youre talking out of school
about your neighbors interior
decorating, little harm will come
of it, other than possibly incurring
the wrath of your neighbor. If the
conversation is about public policy, those kinds of untruths can be
unnecessarily damaging.
By this time, you might be
asking yourself why the Chamber
cares about TIF.
For one thing, its clearly the
goal of any chamber of commerce
to do what it can to ensure its
community thrives and prospers.
We also recognize that, particularly when we compare ourselves to
the rest of Dane County, Stoughton can do better.
So the Chamber has decided to
act. We know that Stoughton will
always be more than KPW or any
other single development. We
recognize that TIF is one of the
best economic development tools

available to cities in Wisconsin.
We also recognize both the history
and the potential of TIF in our
community.
We know theres still a great
deal of confusion on the subject.
Wed like the confusion to end.
Wed like to see our forward
momentum continue.
Please join us Wednesday,
Oct. 26, 7 p.m. in the EMS
Hanson Room, 516 S. 4th St.,
as the Chamber puts on its first
educational presentation on TIF.
Making presentations will be Jon
Hochkammer, Mayor of Verona
and president of the Dane County
Cities and Villages Association,
Tom Larson, senior vice president
of legal and public affairs for the
Wisconsin Realtors Association
and Laurie Sullivan, finance director for the City of Stoughton.
The speakers will explain
exactly how TIF works, how other
communities have used TIF, and
how Stoughton uses and can use
TIF. Some of the projects being
proposed to the City Council will
likely use TIF, so this issue is very
timely. There will be a question
and answer period.
For all our futures, wed like to
end the confusion. We hope to see
you there. We promise your eyes
wont glaze over.
Laura Trotter is the executive
director of the Stoughton Chamber
of Commerce.
Trust that certified organic produce is cleanest youll get

This is a rebuttal to what Terry Anschutz had to say
about organic food in a letter published Oct. 13 in the
Hub. You may think youre justifying the cost of organic to convince us as to why you dont believe organic is
better, but I dare to differ.
Why is it important for you to rip on organic when
the facts are proven that the Dirty Dozen are sprayed
nightly throughout the growth of every fruit and vegetable, and that spray has affected all humans with cancer and probably every human disease out there. When
DDT that has been sprayed on the fields around our
property on crops that humans consume and has defoliated all my spring flowers and turned them black, tell
me that spray doesnt affect human anatomy.
Are you so determined to express your unnecessary
opinion that you need to deter people who are interested in doing well for themselves? Not only that, but you
are making the Yahara River Co-op look bad, because

people who believe your column will doubt themselves, and the co-op is struggling enough to keep their
head above water without people like you discouraging
something they believe in. Keep your thoughts to yourself and eat what you want. We who are trying to do the
best to stay healthy are doing all we can to do to make
that happen, and if it means trusting in organic, thats
what we will do.
If its certified organic, its the cleanest youll get,
and thats all we can do to stay healthy unless you grow
it yourself. Certified organic means non-toxic chemicals, no additives, no preservatives and not genetically-modified organisms.

Living in Two Worlds

Ambivalence, the holding of two contrary attitudes
or feelings, is built into us. We are spiritual creatures
who seek God while living in a material world. That
there is much to love and savor about our physical
existence makes the ambivalence all the more unsettling. We know that we should seek Gods kingdom
first, but we hold tightly to the things of this world.
Ambivalence can be unsettling in many ways. Being
attracted to something while simultaneously being
repelled by it think of the cheesecake that threatens
to sabotage your diet creates a mixture of positive
and negative feelings that, for lack of a better word,
just feels yucky. Psychologists tell us that these
feelings tend to be processed by different sides of the
brain, and those uncomfortable feelings are literally
caused by our simultaneously experiencing opposing
emotions. It would perhaps be better if the right hand
did not know what the left was doing, but we cannot
ignore or hide from ambivalence. It is in our significant
relationships, in our passions and values, and in our
very being. But where possible, we should minimize it.
We cant love our enemies as much as our friends and
we shouldnt love the world as much as we love God.

Bouzek: Building a community and promoting inclusivity for all students is Bouzeks goal
2002.
Upon her return, Bouzek
found adjusting to Stoughtons then-new performing
arts facility relatively easy
after working in a college
setting, despite it being a
drastic change from her
years spent accompanying
her older brothers to rehearsals or her own high school
performances in the school
cafeteria. But the hundreds
of students who have passed
through that facility over the
past 15 years often leave with
the same passion sparked in
Bouzek at their age.
Ellie Trotter, a senior and
theater veteran playing Ariel
in the schools production of
The Little Mermaid this
month, said Bouzek hooked
(her) on theater when Trotter appeared in the SHS production of Seussical as a
fifth grader.
It was an experience thats
now come full circle: Those
fifth graders, now seniors,
are performing alongside
elementary school students
for the first time since that
production, and Trotter said
shes well-aware of how
much of an impression being
part of a show can have on
younger kids.
For me, its really cool
because Ive been in their
shoes, she added. So Im
looking to make this a really positive experience for
them.
Bouzek said she loves
bridging the age groups
through her shows and
watching the kids interact
onstage.
Its really fun to see that
growth, and see those kids
become the leaders, she
added.
Inclusivity encouraged
For Bouzek, including kids
of all ages in her productions
is one of many ways she
works to promote inclusivity
of all students who want to
explore acting or the technical
side of the performing arts.
For me, its about building a community. When I
was in high school, we definitely had a theater community, and that community
makes the love of theater
grow, Bouzek explained.
This mission affects every
aspect of her direction,
beginning with the selection
process of the plays themselves. Andrea Novotny, a
friend of Bouzeks and parent who has had two children
participate in SHS theater
and Aligning Stars (a theater
troupe Bouzek runs each
summer), said the inclusive
environment she creates has
established a precedent that
there is a role for everyone, on stage or behind the
scenes.
Ive heard her talk about
how theater gave her a place
to fit in when she was (a student) and she wants to keep

extending that to the kids of
today, Novotny wrote in
an email to the Hub. Shes
been a wonderful mentor to
hundreds of young people in
our community.
Since Bouzek began her
tenure as director, participation in the performing
arts has steadily grown as
well. She said the program
attracts new kids every year,
a natural progression thats
occurred independently of
any specific goal shes set.
The Little Mermaids cast
of 90 showcases talent in a
range of age levels, and one
of its leads, Bryan Wendt as
Prince Eric, is entirely new to
the program.
I think its the choice of
shows weve been doing that
have encouraged people to
audition, Bouzek said, adding that the support of volunteers and parents has also
grown to accommodate the
bigger casts. They see that
all of the other kids are having so much fun, and they
want to be a part of it.

Challenging the kids
DeeDee Bouzek interacts with the cast of The Little Mermaid between scenes during rehearsal on Monday, Oct. 17.
While the SHS fall musical routinely gives way to a

meatier drama production
in the spring, Bouzek said she
pushes her casts and, ultimately, herself to challenge
themselves regardless of how
light or serious a plays plot
is. She deliberately casts her
performers in roles outside
their usual comfort zone and
mentors student directors
when theyre ready to step
into a leadership position.
Trotter said Bouzek has
helped her learn to open
up and take a more broad
approach to acting, rather than
get preoccupied with every
little gesture and nuance.
She always has pushed
me to open up and be very
expressive, she added.
Theres never a dull moment
onstage, and theres always
someone looking at you, so
shes helped put that in perspective to be always engaged
in whats going on.
Its hard to pinpoint whether this method is responsible
for the recognition SHS has
received from the Overture
Centers Tommy Awards
program, which aims to recognize excellence in high
school musical theater in
the state. But Tim Sauers,
the programs founder, said
something that sets Bouzek
apart is that she knows how
to challenge them just enough
for them to grow.
She works hard, he added. She should be cherished
in Stoughton.
Stoughton has won several awards in the Tommy
Awards seven-year tenure
including three last year for
its production of Footloose
and Sauers said the judges
can always expect Bouzeks
shows to have that professional edge regardless of

budget or the experience of
the crew.
One of the things about
Wisconsin is I think the musicals in the schools are thriving
everywhere, he said. And
its really great that Stoughton
is in on that.
Bouzek finds a brief
reprieve from her busy schedule every year during her
annual trip to New York City,
where she sees at least eight
shows while also meeting up
with former students living
there whenever she can. And
while Stoughton is no New
York City, Bouzek thinks its
proved it is uniquely equipped
to support multiple successful theater groups despite
its size because residents are
very supportive of the arts in
general.
Bouzek hopes that as more
families move to Stoughton,
the diversity of the community will increase as well so that
SHS can do certain shows
here that (it) certainly cant do
now.
I would love to be able
to do any show that I want
within reason of course but
culturally, any show, she
said.
Until then, shes satisfied to
watch her current and former
students continue to pursue
their passion for theater after
their time at SHS gave them
that base. Their gratitude,
she said, acts as the ultimate
reward for the countless hours
shes dedicated to the program over the years: For the
program, not just for me, that
reaffirms the work.

Bouzeks resume runs deep

Bouzeks impact on the local theater
community is hardly exclusive to the high
school. She also directs productions for
McFarland Middle School and St. Anns,
and runs a theater troupe each summer,
Aligning Stars, for current students and
alumni of Stoughton and McFarland high
schools.
Those commitments amount to five productions a year that frequently overlap.
When The Little Mermaid wraps up,
Bouzek will hold auditions for McFarland
Middle Schools next production before

auditions for the SHS spring play are held

in December.
With the majority of her time dedicated
to directing, Bouzek said she doesnt get
many opportunities to appear onstage herself (her last acting role was Ms. Hannigan
in the Stoughton Village Players 2011 production of Annie). She said shed like to
do more if the timing is right, but it would
have to be a pretty special part.

Grade: Senior
Sport: Tennis
Ninth-seeded senior Sarah Benoy returns a forehand Friday against eighth-seeded Sun Prairie junior Lats Sysouvanh. Having already played three
times this season, Benoy evened the score with a 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-4 win over Sysouvanh to propel her to the round of eight. Already the first girl in
school history to reach four straight WIAA individual state tennis tournaments. Benoy, who had never won more than a round at state, went on to
play to a seventh-place finish on Saturday.

It was hard to believe, but

there it was on display for everyone to see last weekend inside
the Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
After three grueling matches
already throughout the season,
Stoughton senior Sarah Benoy
evened the score against Sun
Prairie junior Lats Sysouvanh
on Saturday winning in an epic
four-hour match that propelled

her into the round of eight the
first Stoughton girls tennis player to advance that far.
Its really exciting because
I put in so much work over the
past four years, Benoy said.
Clearly that work paid off.
Benoy won three rounds, joining two Stoughton doubles teams
who also won at least one round.
Benoy had entered the tournament seeded ninth one spot
behind Sysouvanh but it hardly
mattered as both girls somehow
found a way to outdo themselves
once again. And while Sysouvanh got the better of Benoy

coach Pat Schneider said.
Monroe is ranked second
in Division 2 and ran an
exceptional race at conference.
Our conference is usually good, but this was an
especially good year. I
think if we would have been
in the Badger North, we
would have won.
Jenny led Stoughton for
the first time with a seventh-place finish in 17 minutes, 4.6 seconds.
I wrestled all summer
and kind of regretted it right
away during the beginning
of the cross country season,
not putting in as many miles
as I should have over the
summer, he said. Owen
put in a lot of miles over
the summer and it kind of
showed with me and Garrett
kind of far behind, but we
knew if we trained hard we
would show it in the end.
Model, who missed the
Stoughton Invitational two
weeks ago for a national wrestling tournament,
came back last week and
ran a solid race in Albany.
He carried that momentum
over in Saturday, finishing
eighth overall in 17:10.1.
One of the wrestling
coaches I was working
with this summer told me,
You cant be afraid to push
yourself to push yourself
beyond where it doesnt
feel like your body can
go, he said. Once you
push through that, youll be
able to go farther and farther.
While Model, who finished fourth last year, said
it was a little disappointing not finishing higher, he
credited the Monona Grove
and Monroe guys ahead of
him for training a lot in the
offseason.
They trained a lot this
summer and did road races, Model said. Cross
country might not be my
No. 1 sport, but Im willing
to give it everything I have
for our team.
Roe, who has been dealing with a shin issue, finished ninth as the teams
third runner in 17:10.5.
There was a couple of
races where we (Model,
Jenny and Roe) didnt run
together and you could
tell there was that missing
piece, Model said. Just to
give it that couple extra seconds to push harder, it isnt

Looking at sectionals, I
would like to see us place
better than our sixth-place
performance from last
year, Schneider said. Any
or all of our top three boys
will have a shot at making
it to state as individuals.
However, there is a very
tight group of boys from

several schools who have
all run very similar times
and have gone back and
forth beating each other in
various races.
It will really come down
to toughness and a bit of
luck in determining who
will qualify for state. I
like the fact that our boys
should be in the mix.

State: Johnson, Halverson make round of 16

after a lengthy delay and two site changes, it
was the Stoughton senior who continued her
season with a 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-4 victory.
Benoy was up 4-1 in the first set thinking
about a straight-set victory only to watch Sysouvanh fight back to take the lead 5-4. The
Stoughton senior was eventually able to close
out the first set only to start down 4-1 in the
second.
I was pretty disappointed in myself because
I was up 5-2 in the tiebreaker, she said. I was
physically exhausted, but I mentally I knew I
was going to be OK in the third set. Im just
glad I was able to tough it out.
Benoy said even had she lost in the third set,
it would have been OK.
Lats played so well. Its been such much
fun to have that rivalry this year, she said. If
I had lost, it would have been a pretty good
match to end my career with.
Understandably exhausted, Benoy got an
hour-and-a-half break before she had to face
defending state champion and top-seeded
Emily Luetschwager of Stevens Point in the
round of eight. She lost 6-0, 6-1.
I played Emily earlier in the season at the
Eau Claire Memorial tournament, Benoy
said. Im just happy I got to hit against her
again.
The loss gave Benoy a chance to play
back to fifth place, but she fell 6-1, 6-0 to
fourth-seeded Logan White of Divine Savior
Holy Angels and finished seventh overall.
Benoy had only won one match in her previous three state appearances, including her
freshmen year, when she played No. 1 doubles.
She cruised through the first two rounds,
knocking off Whitefish Bay special qualifier
Karlotta Galten 6-1, 6-0 and then her teammate Mia Hassel 6-2, 6-3.
Team success
Girls XC: Sectionals is at DeForest
definitely a goal for us, Halverson said.

Johnson and Halverson survived a 4-6, 6-4,
(5) win against Stevens Point and then rolled
over Whitefish Bay 6-4, 6-1.
We played Whitefish Bay during the season and we played well despite losing a close
match, Johnson said. The conditions that day
were really bad and I felt like that match could
have gone either way. I think that gave us a lot
of confidence playing them again at state.
Price and Risgaard showed why they earned
the No. 2 seed in the round of 16, though, rolling 6-1, 6-0 on their way to a state title.
The Vikings No. 2 doubles team of seniors
Marissa Robson and Nelson added a 7-6 (3),
7-6 (4) win over Shanna Wiegand and Jessica
Wang of Middleton.
I was nervous coming into the match, but
once we got rolling, I was fine, Robson said.
Anna and I are known to go into third sets and
tiebreakers. We just wanted to focus on playing
our game and getting balls in play.
The win advanced the seniors on to face
14th-seeded Laura Nicholas and Ho Ming Lee
McVey from Madison West, who beat them
6-2, 6-0.
I just started playing tennis my freshmen
year, to be able to get to the second round at
state by my senior year was really good for
me, Robson said.
The Vikings will have a lot of new faces in
the lineup next year as the program graduates
its most talented class, which includes six state
qualifiers who accounted for 11 victories at the
state tournament.
Were losing a lot of talented players, who
are going to hard to replace without a doubt,
head coach Ryan Reischel said. That being
said, I like the players we have coming back,
and we have some young players that have
been working hard and waiting for their turn.
Im hoping we can keeping building on our
success and keep the program going in the right
direction.
Champions
The Vikings advanced all three flights,

including both doubles teams through at least
one round.
Its incredible for our program to be able to
advance all three flights to the second day at
state, Anna Nelson said. I know our coaches
were ecstatic. Incredible is an understatement, it
feels so good.
Sydney Johnson reached the round of 16 for
the second straight year, though with a different partner this time as she and fellow senior
Kendra Halverson defeated Stevens Point and
15th-seeded Whitefish Bay before falling to second-seeded Price and Kiki Risgaard of Neenah.
I know Sydney reached the round of 16
last year, but Id never gotten that far, so it was
Stevens Point senior Emily Luetschwager

repeated as state champion in singles, beating
Benoy in the round of eight. Luetschwager
dropped just four of games in four of her five
matches. Her only scare came in the semifinals
where she had to outlast fifth-seeded Emma
Corwin of Brookfield East 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. Luetschwager cruised past second-seeded Isabelle
Lee of Bay Port 6-1, 6-0 in the championship
match.
Second-seeded Christine Price and Kiki Risgaard of Neenah defeated Stoughton seniors
Kendra Halverson and Marissa Robson in the
round of 16 and then went on to win the doubles title 6-3, 6-0 over fourth-seeded Elise
Gerard and Annabelle Crowley of Nicolet.
Girls aim for state
the whole way.

Head coach Susan Zaemisch told
Wozniak earlier in the week she expected
her to win the race.
With 500 meters from the finish, she
was in second place by about three seconds. I let her know at that moment getting second on her home course was not
an option, head coach Susan Zaemisch
said. She needed to find a little more, and
a little more she did. I believe in her, and
she trusts me, and to be conference champion on your home course is an honor.
Jenna and Mansavage finished 2-3 for
the Blackhawks, who took second 41
points behind the Vikings.
Zaemish credited her teams work in
the summer for their performance, noting
that captains practices were held daily
starting in June.
My varsity girls took advantage of
it this time, she said. Coming into the
official season, they were steps ahead of
where they were last year. This allowed
coach (Pat) Schneider and I to vary the
workouts, include more speed and run
greater distances due to their strong base.
Freshman Grace Jenny and sophomore
Margaret Ross joined Wozniak to earn
first-team All-Badger South Conference
honors. Jenny finished fourth behind Fort
Atkinsons top two runners in 20:08.9,
and Ross crossed the finish line fifth in
20:15.
(Jenny) has been strong all year, but
to be our second runner and first-team
all-conference shows her true potential, Zaemisch said. She was coming
off a slight injury the previous week, but
with adjustments with her workouts, she
proved she is tops in our conference.
Sophomore Abby Kittleson earned the
final spot on the first-team, placing eighth
in 20:24.7. Senior Clea Roe finished as
The Stoughton girls cross country

team is one of three teams likely competing for two spots Saturday at the
DeForest sectional. The meet starts at
11:45a.m. at the newly constructed
Windsor Sports Complex.
Other the teams contending for the
two spots to state as a team expect to
be 11th-ranked Madison Memorial
and 19th-ranked Madison West.
I have ran every scenario about
sectionals over the past few days,
head coach Susan Zaemisch said.
The final points standing will come
down to just a few points. I think
my girls will be able to take one of the
two spots.
Zaemisch said some runners have
a little more in them, and plan to get
the team to state.
They are physically strong, and
this week we will work on mental
toughness that will give them the
advantage, she said. With the girls
being so close, they dont want to let
each other down.
the Vikings final varsity score, earning
second-team honors for her 14th-place
finish in 21:02.
Oregon rounded out the top three
schools, holding off Monona Grove
86-89.
Stoughton freshman Molly Olstad and
senior Aly Weum also competed on varsity, but did not count toward the final team
score.
Weve been working really hard, putting in the miles to really go out and show
our best and win a second straight conference title, Wozniak said. Today was
a test run for sectionals (Oct. 22), where
were hoping to get back to state as a
team.
Swim: Conference up next on Oct. 28

p.m. Friday, Oct. 28, in Fort Atkinson.
This is our last week of our hard
yards and weights, Kartman said.
Were going to start tapering this
Wednesday already. Were really excited about conference.
Kartman continued, saying that the
team hopes to keep improving, but is

also going to focus on the little things,
like stroke technique to help get over
the hump in the postseason.
Whether it be to win a race or come
out with a personal best at conference
that only build our confidence and
the program going into next season,
she said.
Football: WIAA D2 Level 1 playoffs start Friday, Stoughton travels to Waukesha West
Cullen Gahagan looking in
the backfield and burned
the Panthers with a 43-yard
strike to senior wide receiver Darvelle Peeples, who
was all alone across the
field on a one-man route.
Their DB wanted to pull
up on me, Peeples said. I

gave him a little fake and
ran a post and it was wide
open. He was grabbing my
end zone after the catch,
and I was able to keep him
off me and get into the end
zone.
Peeples said he dedicated
his efforts to injured starters
Brady Schipper (running
back) and tackle Elijah

Krumholz, as well as running back Jordan DiBenedetto, who was injured two
weeks ago and was limited
to less than five carries Friday.
I worked hard for those
guys. We knew this was the
last chance we had to make
it to the playoffs, Peeples
said. Weve been working
all season for this. They
gave their all to this team
all year. Tonight I told them
I was going to leave it all on
the field for them.
Prahl said while hes
hopeful Stoughton will get
some of them back for the
playoffs, everyone needs
to be ready to step up next
week just in case.
Stoughton earned the
sixth seed in the WIAA
playoffs over the weekend

and will travel to third-seeded Waukesha West at 7p.m.
Friday.
Were going to work
hard throughout the week
of practice and just keep
fighting, Peeples said. We
know its going to be another battle.
Stoughton took a 10-lead
with a 25-yard field goal on
its first possession of the
second half, after Dylan
Bennett recovered a fumble
to set up the Vikings on the
Oregon 39.
Oregons lone touchdown
came in the fourth quarter, when junior linebacker
Brett Wannebo set up the
Panthers offense with its
best starting field position,
recovering a fumble at the
Stoughton 40.

Looking for a spark, with

junior Cedric Girard struggling and Steven Moravec
out for the season, Kissling
and the Panthers turned to
sophomore Nolan Look.
The move nearly worked,
too, as Looks first pass to
Austin McCormack drew
a pass-interference flag to
move the sticks.
Two plays later, the sophomore found junior receiver
Kardelle Phillips, who outfought Stoughton defensive
back Weston Beyler into
the end zone for a 30-yard
touchdown pass.
That touchdown was
huge, Kissling said. Our
defense was playing pretty
well, but Stoughtons punter put us in some pretty difficult situations. Following
that touchdown, our kids
were energized and we had
all the momentum.
Oregon moved from its
own 15-yard line to its
44 on another pass-interference call, following a
56-yard punt Stoughtons
Jaece Newman on the ensuing drive, before running
out of gas on third-and-8.
The Panthers defense
came up with one more
s t o p , bu t t h e Vi k i n g s
punter pinned the Oregon
offense on its own 1-yard
line.
Prahl noted the Panthers
had 18 punts, making Newmans efforts crucial.
Jaece really stepped up
tonight, and when we needed him, he was changing
field position, he said.
Even with that poor field
position, Oregons offense
still had some hope after
Look completed a 30-yard
pass to Cullen Gahagan on
the teams final possession
in the fourth quarter.
Four plays later, however,
Stoughton junior linebacker Gavin Miller had a strip
sack that was recovered by
senior defensive lineman
Nathan Krueger on fourth
down to seal the game with
45 seconds remaining.
When I saw coach call
in the blitz for me, I wasnt
thinking about anything but
getting to the quarterback,
Miller said. I just had to
get past the running back
and it was sack city.
The whole sideline was
going nuts, because thats
what we needed, Dan
Prahl added. You could
kind of feel the momentum
sliding a little bit with them
moving the ball and getting
some first downs.

TIF: More project possible soon

center at the intersection of
Highways 51 and 138.
The city borrowed the
money, fronted it to the
developer to make the
improvements, and expects
to be repaid through future
tax revenue from all underlying jurisdictions of the newly
developed property.
Trotter pointed out that providing the funding assistance
was a major point of contention in the debate, with KPW
opponents including half
of the Common Council
arguing that borrowing the
money would expose the city
to too much risk.
TIF is one of the few economic development tools that
we have in Wisconsin, and its
really misunderstood, Trotter
said. So were putting this
forum together to help inform
the public about TIF.
The chamber has lined up
three speakers for the event:
Laurie Sullivan, the citys
economic development and
finance director, City of
Verona mayor Jon Hochkammer, and Tom Larson, senior
vice-president for legal and
public affairs at Wisconsin
Realtors Association.
Each of the speakers is
scheduled to talk for 15 to 20
minutes, Trotter explained,
followed by Peter Sveum,
chair of the citys Redevelopment Authority, who is going
to lead a question-and-answer segment.
The RDA could employ
one of the next significant
uses of TIF, as it is working
on a redevelopment of the
Yahara Riverfront along
South Street, where the city
will soon take control of the
former MillFab property and
is searching for a developer
to help rebuild and transform
the area.
Other potential requests
for TIF assistance in coming months include a second
request from KPW developer
Forward Development Group
for public improvements in
the projects second phase.
TIF is also being used to
expand Business Park North
and may be used to increase
the size of Stoughton Rotary
Park.
Trotter said a better understanding of TIF would help
city residents and the Common Council have more
informed discussions about
development.
We just want to put the
facts out there and talk about
what other communities are
using TIF for, she said, as
well as give people a history of what Stoughtons been
using TIF for. Were hoping the forum will help put
things in perspective.
Trotter hopes for a good
turnout of city residents at the
event, including city alders.
Although council members know a lot about TIF, I
think it would be interesting
for them to hear what the
public is thinking about TIF,
she said. Compared to other
states, its about all weve got
to promote development.

MillFab: Study results werent likely to affect purchase

a problem about the order in
which the proposal to change
the closing date was being
considered.
Im not expecting the
RDA to go along blindly, he
said, but I think they respect
the work we do in between
meetings, and theres no
question we respect Garys
advice.
The way things were lining up for grant opportunities, he added, we wouldnt
have been able to meet our
closing date.
Sveum, Becker and finance
director Laurie Sullivan all
told the Hub that because the
city had an environmental
assessment conducted when
it bought the abandoned
Stoughton Trailer building
on South Street several years
ago, they felt confident the
MillFab site is not going to
carry any significant surprises.
Weve already done a
Phase 2 assessment at the
Highway Trailer site, so we
already sort of know what
the conditions are, Sullivan
said. And for site cleanup
grants, it has to go through
the municipality, anyway, so
were really the best owner
for that property.
The RDA was scheduled
to meet with several qualified developers Tuesday who
have responded to the citys
request for proposals to redevelop the riverfront.
At this point, theyll probably have more questions for
us than we will for them,
