Grant would help streambank restoration

The Stoughton Common Council voted 11-1 to apply for a matching grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to help mitigate erosion along the Yahara River.
If the city wins a state grant it decided to apply for last week, work would begin next year on restoring the banks of the Yahara River at Division Street Park. The riverbank has been eroding during periods of high water, and city officials hope to place large rocks or boulders along a 420-foot stretch of the river, just south of the Forton Street Bridge. Once the boulders are in place, the city would backfill the area with dirt, grade and seed it. There are other methods the city may consider to accomplish the goal, but the rip rap approach is the one thats been discussed the most. The Common Council decided last week it will apply for a Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Grant of about $90,000, a 50 percent matching grant from the Department of Natural Resources that would cover the cost of the first phase of a larger plan to stabilize several stretches Turn to Streambank/Page 15
of riverbank. After work is completed on the southern section of Division Street Park, the city would perform similar work north of the Forton Street Bridge. Later, the city will attempt to prevent erosion of banks along Riverside Drive, near the dam and at Mandt Park. The council voted 11-1 to apply for the grant, with only Ald. Tom Majewski (Dist. 3) opposing the application. Majewski, a first-term alder who once worked for the DNR and administered the Stewardship Grant program, said he didnt think the city would get the grant, and he contended that placing rip rap or taking some other approach to prevent streambank erosion is not necessary. He advocates lowering the river level by opening the dam and then seeding the exposed mud flats. And he suggested the citys money could be spent on more worthwhile projects. We can more simply just lower the level of the dam, and that would take care

This time, its grown-ups who will come to Fox Prairie Elementary School to learn. Fox Prairie has been selected as just one of six schools in the country to be studied by a new University of Kansas (KU) center that is developing a national model for how general and special education students can be educated together, the university
announced last week. Its the latest accolade for the Stoughton Area School Districts inclusive teaching approach, in which all students are educated in the same classroom instead of being pulled out either because they are disabled, struggling or gifted. This is such a wonderful affirmation, Fox Prairie principal Mike Jamison said, not just for Fox Prairie but also for all the work that has gone on in Stoughton for the last 10 years. Neither inclusive teaching nor outside attention are

Assessment plan proceeds despite opposition

Charges will help cover the cost of street and sidewalk improvements
Bill Livick
In brief
City plans about $665,000 in street and sidewalk improvements this year Cost partially paid by a special assessment levied to property owners where the work is being done Property owners often complain City officials look for a better way to pay for the work but for now, they conclude a 50/50 split between taxpayers, assessments is fair properties will be part of this years street and sidewalk improvement project. During a public hearing at last Tuesdays meeting, resident Randy Ree presented the council with a petition signed by some of his Milwaukee Street neighbors objecting to the assessments. We dont think its fair that we pay so much for road construction, Ree said, adding that hes being charged about $2,400 for curb, gutter and sidewalk work at his property. We just cant swing
It has become almost an annual event. Residents who are being charged special assessments by the city for street and sidewalk improvements show up at a public hearing and complain that they cant afford it. Many often say that the work isnt necessary. But the Common Council and city staff have discussed the fairness of charging homeowners for half the cost of improvements to their curbs, gutters, driveway aprons and sidewalks many times, and each time they come to the same conclusion: Both the community and the individual homeowner benefit from the work, so the cost should be shared 50/50 by the taxpaying public and the individual property owner. The above scenario happened again last week, when the Common Council unanimously adopted a resolution authorizing the city to levy special assessments to residents whose

this kind of money. Several other people lodged similar complaints. After the public hearing, the council took a fiveminute recess so alders could look over Rees petition. Council president Eric Hohol (Dist. 4) then asked planning director Rodney Scheel to explain
the financing plan that is offered to residents. It allows a homeowner five years to pay annual installments if their assessment is over $200. For assessments of more than $1,500, homeowners have the option of paying the bill in 10 installments over a 10-year period. Both options add an interest rate
of 3.75 percent to the bill. The city calculates the amount each property owner will be assessed by determining the lineal footage of a property and plugging that figure into an equation. But the equation quickly becomes complicated, Scheel explained, because the charges are specific to the work that

needs to be done at each address. Not every property has the same amount of improvements being made, he noted. Charges for curb and gutter are pretty consistent where curb and gutter is being done, but some properties have driveway aprons that are being replaced, and some have sidewalk that is being replaced. So there isnt a universal number, Scheel said. It varies based on those issues. Some properties have hundreds of dollars worth of assessments and some have a couple thousand dollars worth of assessments. He guessed that about 50 properties are included in this years street and sidewalk improvement project. The total cost of the project is estimated at $665,000. Hohol defended the assessments, noting the work is in the public interest. He estimated that the average charge is about $1,500 and said the citys payment options give property owners a pretty reasonable amount of time to pay the bill. That said, he also sympathizes with the opposition. Its probably the natural response if youre a property owner and suddenly youre hit with an assessment like this, Hohol said. Ald. Greg Jenson (Dist. 3) agreed and said he is troubled by it. It needs to be changed, he said of the assessment program. But hes not sure what the solution might be. As hard as it is to the homeowners, Jenson said, right now we dont have a better method. Scheel said letters were mailed to each affected property owner inviting them to an informal open house about a month ago. There he explained the project, the way properties are assessed and the payment options to about 20 people attending the open house. While some municipalities build the cost of the annual street and sidewalk improvements into their general fund and increase taxes accordingly, Scheel pointed out that the city still has levy limits imposed by the state, so there are limits on what the city can actually fund. There still has to be a balance on what revenue you have available to complete a project vs. how many projects you can get done, he said. If it all gets done by taxpayer money, either not as much works going to get done or youve got to come up with an alternate way to fund that.

The Mandt Community Center is seeking the publics help with a pair of large capital improvements it is eyeing for the summer. The board of directors for the 19-year-old nonprofit community center and hockey rink is accepting donations for two planned projects totaling $275,000: new ice-making equipment and an air conditioning system to keep the main floor space cool in the summer. The center hopes to do the projects together to save money. Its board is set to make a decision May 15 about whether both projects can move forward in time for the Stoughton Youth Fair and the new hockey season. Its more (if) anybody can help us out, said Bart Quale, the centers manager, about fund-raising. Were looking at all avenues to still proceed with the project (regardless). The center receives no public funding for its operations, and many have the misconception that the center is part of city services, the center said in a news release. But the center leases the land on which the building sits from the City of Stoughton, while the bond on the building is held by the city but paid by the center, Quale said. The center operates solely on user fees, and Quale said its operating budget for this year is $201,844, with revenues of $212,611. The principal reason for pursuing the projects now, Quale said, is the centers aging ice-making equipment. The system is 23 years old and suffered several issues during the most recent hockey season. Its maintenance costs and energy inefficiency have prompted the center to seek new equipment and chilling technology that will capture and use heat that otherwise would have been wasted. That captured heat can in turn be used to produce hot water and heating for the center, the center said in a news release. The new air conditioning

system would enable the center to better host events during warm weather months. The centers release said it is open yearround but has been underutilized because of a lack of climate control during the summer. Quale said right now only the main lobby has air conditioning. That made for warm conditions last year for events like the fair and the Firemens Ball. The new systems, meanwhile, would save the center about $12,000 a year in operating costs, according to the news release. The Mandt Community Center annually supports 30,000 users, and supporters hope the extra use from the improvements will help stimulate economic growth for the community. It would definitely benefit all users if we could get this done, Quale said.
Stoughton High School generally posted strong graduation rates again last year, according to results released earlier this month by the state. Wisconsin already had three different grad rates depending on the time frame in which students obtained their degree. The state this year added a fourth when compiling results for the 2011-2012 school year. Regardless, Stoughtons rates nearly met or exceeded 96 percent in all four. Stoughton had a 95.8 percent rate when using the four-year rate, or the percentage of students who obtained their degree within four years, according to information from the Department of Public Instruction. That compares to 95 percent the preceding year and 94.2 percent the year before that. Its five-year graduation rate increased from 95 percent in 2010-11 to 98.1 percent last year. Last years graduation rate was 97.4 percent when using the legacy rate, or factoring in students who obtain their degrees by age 21, either because they are specialeducation students or because they finished their work after the actual graduation. That a decrease from 2010-11s 98.8 percent and 2009-10s 99.3 percent. The state still reports the

results of the legacy rate, which it has used for many years, although DPI noted that rate is no longer used for its federal reporting requirements. The districts six-year graduation rate which the state first started reporting this year was 96 percent. The Stoughton Area School District has posted among the best graduation rates in Dane County in recent years, and last year was no exception. The districts four-year graduation rate was tied for fourth-best among 16 school districts, while its five-year rate ranked third, its six-year rate ranked fifth and its legacy rate ranked third, according to an analysis of the DPI data by the Hub. Rates for the high schools economically disadvantaged students last year tended to decrease, however. The fouryear rate dropped from 100
percent in 2010-2011 to 90 percent last year, although that was still better than 2009-10s 88.1 percent. The five-year graduation rate for those students fell from 92.5 percent to 87.5 percent. Rates for students with disabilities climbed when using one rate but fell when using two others. The four-year rate declined from 71.9 percent to 69.6 percent, but the five-year rate jumped from 80 percent to 90.3 percent. The legacy rate was 84.6 percent last year, down from 2010-11s 100 percent, according to DPIs figures. Data for this years graduating class wont be available until next spring. Statewide, the four-year graduation rate rose half a percentage point to 87.5 percent last year, according to a DPI news release. The legacy rate rose was up one-tenth of a percent to 90.6.
Graduation rates in Stoughton has been trending upward since the 2004-2005 school year, when the general graduation rate stood at 84.4 percent and the rate for students with disabilities stood at 70 percent, according to online information from DPI. The district has raised its rate since then through measures such as reviews of academic programs to its steady transition to an inclusive teaching system, where students who need special attention whether because they are gifted or struggling receive it in the regular classroom, as opposed to meeting with a specialist outside of it. Weve steadily increased, SHS principal Mike Kruse said of graduation rates. Weve made a lot of huge improvements here Our staff is working hard.
Stoughton Hospital gets top recognition for electronic health record system
Stoughton Hospital is one of several area hospitals to achieve the highest level of electronic health record adoption, according to a news release. Stoughton Hospital, along with Dean Clinic and St. Marys, were presented with the Stage 7 Award from HIMSS Analytics, the research division of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). Reaching Stage 7 means that all records at a hospital or clinic are electronic, the release said. This gives caregivers instant computer access to patient information no matter their location, eliminating reliance on paper records, and reducing the number of preventable errors that can be made using traditional manual systems. The Stage 7 award places Dean Clinic in the top 0.9 percent of all ambulatory facilities nationwide in terms of electronic medical record use, the release said. Stage 7 puts St. Marys and Stoughton in the top 1.9 percent of hospitals nationwide. Stoughton Hospital went live with its electronic health record system from Verona-based Epic Systems in February 2011, converting paper charts and records into an electronic format to facilitate the real-time sharing of information and improve accuracy. Stoughton Hospital since then has also implemented a picture archiving system (PACS) and digital mammography system. Stoughton Hospital and the other hospitals will be recognized for the Stage 7 Award at the 2014 Annual HIMSS Conference and Exhibition on Feb. 24-26, 2014, in Orlando, Fla., according to the release.

Komen Race for the Cure June 1

There is a very special event happening in our area the morning of June 1 - the 16th Annual Susan G. Komen South Central Wisconsin Race for the Cure. This event, held at the Alliant Energy Center, attracts upwards of 12,000 participants and is a wonderful affair for many reasons. Not only is it a fun athletic event with a 5K Run on a certified course, a 5K walk, and 1.25 Mile Fun Walk, it is a celebration as well. That morning, we gather to celebrate hundreds of breast cancer survivors and take time to honor those we have sadly lost to the disease. Finally, it is the Komen South Central Wisconsin Affiliates largest fundraiser. Seventy-five percent of the events net proceeds stay right here in south central Wisconsin to provide breast cancer and breast health education and services to our neighbors. The other 25 percent goes directly to the Komen National Grants Fund to financially support the best breast cancer research across the country. There are many folks right here in Stoughton who take part in the Race for the Cure in various ways. There are Stoughton survivors who run or walk, supporters who donate, volunteers who share their time, and even a Race Committee member who works year round for the success of this event. They all understand that Komen is large, but Komen is local, and there are people all around us who need help, support, and a cure. It has been my privilege to be the Race Coordinator for the 2012 and 2013 Races. As a Stoughton resident and a person who has seen breast cancer close up, I encourage everyone to join us on June 1 to further our mission to End Breast Cancer Forever.

At issue: The use of pesticides in city parks

Use of chemicals in city parks is a safety issue
What is the real safety issue regarding turf management? In the April 18th edition of the Hub, Mayor Donna Olson is quoted as saying Mr. Williamson said its not good on young muscles and ankles if you dont manage your turf. Chemical lawn care companies promote that they keep lawns and athletic fields safe from tripping and falls purportedly caused by weeds. Our group, Naturally Stoughton, heard from city officials earlier this month that they have not been able to do much for turf management the last 10 years or so due to budgetary constraints. If weeds are truly a safety issue, we would expect to hear increasing reports about turfrelated injuries in our community by now. In contrast, the CDC receives thousands of reports on acute injuries from pesticides every year. Interestingly, most reports involving children come from pesticide use at home, and over half are to children under age 6, when their developing bodies are most susceptible to harm. The November 2012 American Academy of Pediatrics Policy Statement on Pesticide Exposure in Children states, Epidemiologic evidence demonstrates associations between early life exposure to pesticides and pediatric cancers, decreased cognitive function, and behavioral problems, all of which are increasingly more prevalent in our society. Most people dont read CDC reports or epidemiological studies. Even turf managers are not required to know this information - they are only required to follow EPA and state regulations. Because pesticides are regulated and so readily available in stores or from lawn companies, many people are lulled into a sense of safety with their use. You cant see the chemicals when theyre on the grass or get into your skin, and serious health effects from repeated exposures may not be evident for a long time. Many people support chemical lawn maintenance because it is seen as cheaper and quicker than organic methods that build up the quality of the soil. Unfortunately, our childrens health is not factored into this cost. Dandelions do not cause cancer, but pesticides can. Please support the city in finding better solutions for our future, so that not only young muscles and ankles are protected, but the rest of the child, too. Sara Downie Stoughton

Pest management plan would make parks safe

Having grown up in Stoughton and still having friends and family in the area, I have been following the herbicide in parks debate for the last month. I am a former Golf Course Superintendent and currently own a business in the industry. I received my degree in Soil Science with an emphasis on Turfgrass Management and Environmental Studies from UW-Madison. While I can appreciate the enthusiasm on both sides, I think its very important to take a step back and look at the facts. The parks have a huge weed problem- not only from an aesthetic standpoint but also from a safety aspect. Many citizens have proposed the use of organic methods for managing the areas. Currently, there are no reliable organic weed control products on the market. Many, such as chelated iron and high concentrated acetic acid, have been touted as effective. But when you look at studies done, they are only effective at burning the leaf tissue of the weed which allows the weed to grow back from the root hardly a solution but more of a BandAid. Plus, with the high concentrations that these organic products need to be applied at, they can be dangerous. Both products are more toxic than 2,4-D (the most common synthetic weed control) because of the high rates that they need to be used at. Concerns voiced about the safety of 2,4-D are not new. Its something that I, as a business owner, am most sensitive to since my employees depend on our processes and procedures for their safety, which I take very seriously. In April of 2012 the EPA finished a study that provided an in-depth examination of 2,4-Ds potential for endocrine disruptor, neurotoxic, and immunotoxic effects. This study and EPAs comprehensive review confirmed the EPAs previous finding that the 2,4-D tolerances are safe. Even in Canada, where pesticides have been banned in some provinces, Health Canada (Canadian EPA) has ruled that its safe to use on turf. Moving forward, an Integrated Pest Management program would be easy to invoke and would provide the solutions that most residents are looking for in three steps. First, it would be important to regularly fertilize the parks to thicken the turf. A thick turf is natures best defense against weeds. Second, 1-2 applications per year of herbicide are needed to control existing weeds. And finally, adjust cultural practices to encourage a healthy stand of turf. This would include annual aeration in the fall, increase mowing heights, and decrease mowing frequency during times of drought. Its very easy for residents to get caught up in the back and forth of an emotional argument like this one, but the science doesnt lie. Brandon Burns Mundelein, Ill.

Fundraiser for Stoughton resident May 5

A fundraiser for a local woman with a neurological disease is set for May 5 at Badger Bowl in Madison. Kathy Phillips is looking to raise awareness for her disease, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, and generate enough funds to pay for additional testing and medical bills related to the illness, she said in an email to the Hub. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a chronic pain disorder that results in continuous, intense pain out of proportion to the severity of the injury, which gets worse rather than better over time, according to the National Institutes of Health. Phillips and others are organizing the event from 4-10 p.m. at Badger Bowl. It will feature a taco bar and a deal on margaritas where $2 from every drink will benefit Phillips. There will be bowling from 5-7 p.m. for $25. A silent auction will also be held. Live music by Josh Becker Electric will start at 4 p.m. DJ Dan (Buttons) Phillips and Rylee Cannon will also provide music. More information about the disease can be found at rsd.org. Event details can be found on Facebook.

The 15- to 30-mile ride will take place May 11 and is open to the public. Proceeds will benefit the Invasive Species Issue Team of Town and Country RC&D, as well as Rock County Parks and the Friends groups that are helping to organize it. An added feature of the ride is that locally sourced food, including pheasant brats
from MacFarlane Pheasants and items sourced from farmers markets, will be served at stops and at a free picnic lunch to follow. People can sign up for one or the other (15 miles or 30 miles) and the route will be different based on one or the other, explained Lynne Diebel, a ride organizer and leader in the Friends of Badfish Creek. There are three stops. The get-together at the end is open to others who dont want to ride if they just want to contribute to it. The ride will begin at Magnolia Bluff County Park, about 10 miles south of Brooklyn. It will include a stop at Leota Lake in Evansville and also at the Badfish Creek on Riley Road, where the friends group has been working to eliminate an
invasive plant, Japanese knotweed, since 2009. Its a nice way to combine a fun activity on we hope will be a lovely day, Diebel said. Organizational meetings have been taking place at the Koffee Kup in Stoughton. Some local organizers include: Sharon Beall, Ingrid West, Lynne Diebel, Sandra Black, Jim Danke, Jim Post and Scott Taylor. Riders will sign-in and pick up their t-shirts and native plant plugs at Magnolia Bluff Park from 7:30-8:30, where they can view restored prairie and oak savanna. A bike ambassador from the Wisconsin Bike Federation will be on-hand to answer cycling safety questions. All riders are required to wear helmets. The entry fee per individual is $20 before April 19 and $30 after that date.
There is a family maximum of $60, or $90 after April 19. Biking enthusiasts, nature lovers, and groups interested in participating can register and learn more at tacrcd.com/wheelagainst-the-weeds.html or by contacting Beth Gehred at (920) 541-3208 or beth. gehred@tacrcd.com.

Thought for the week

There are many situations where we experience loss ambiguously. A family member suffering from a brain injury or who is becoming progressively more senile certainly fits the criteria for ambiguous loss, because they are physically present but psychologically absent. Homesickness is also a case of ambiguous loss because the person missed can be psychologically present, on the phone, for instance, but be physically absent. Choosing to move away from home or to break up with a romantic partner are clear cases of ambiguous loss, which we may have chosen in full knowledge that we would experience some sadness or melancholy. Abductions, missing persons, and cases where someone is lost are particularly difficult forms of ambiguous loss because the family and friends of the missing person simply dont know what to expect. In some cases, the ambiguity resolves, people regain their health or missing persons are found, but often the ambiguity remains and there may never be closure. Dealing with these situations requires the ability to live with ambiguity. Usually there is no easy answer, and the temptation to solve these problems only exacerbates the experience of ambiguous loss, because it holds out the prospect of closure or resolution when there is none. Lord, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you. May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry. Psalm 88:1-2

The Stoughton Norwegian Dancers tour Arizona

This year the annual spring break tour took the Stoughton Norwegian Dancers to Arizona. The week held thirteen performances over five days throughout the state. While the dancers had a full slate of entertaining to do, they had some time to take in the local sights, as well. The group met at Stoughton High School at 7 a.m. Friday March 22. They checked their luggage with the parent chaperones and readied all the equipment. After attending Friday mornings classes the group reconvened at 11:45 a.m. and was off to Milwaukees Mitchell Field for a 3:55 p.m. flight to Phoenix. A key component of a successful tour is having a strong contact person at the destination location. This year the Phoenix contact was none other than Pastor Harold Peterson, formerly of First Lutheran Church in Stoughton. Pastor Peterson provided both in-depth knowledge of the Phoenix area and also a valuable understanding of the Dancers and Stoughton itself. Pastor Peterson and Margenes daughter and Dancer Alumnus 1984, Kristin Peterson Semerad, was also in attendance. Kristin flew in from St. Cloud, Minn. for the weekend and was able to attend several performances, visit with the kids and adult chaperones and share her memories of her time as a Norwegian Dancer. Sundays schedule contained three performances and it was one for the ages, the dancers group wrote in a news release to the Hub. The first was at The American Lutheran Church, Pastor Petersons home parish. The kids performed for the parishioners in the church courtyard before service. All were impressed, appreciative and entertained. The second performance was for a small group at the Arizona Veterans Home. A number of those in attendance have given more to this country than anyone should have to. The kids interacted and talked with the veterans after the performance. It was an eye opening, emotional experience that wont soon be forgotten. They followed that with a performance at the Sun Bowl in Sun City. The estimated attendance from a Sun Bowl facilities worker was 3,000 people. They really gave it their all and the crowd was extremely impressed. Judging by the standing ovation, it was sincere. Monday dance card was full with five performances in all. There were two performances each at two different elementary schools. The fifth was at Freedom Plaza Retirement Community. It seems to makes no difference where the dancers go; there are connections back to Stoughton. This year along with Pastor Peterson, the group was also graced with dancer alumni in attendance. Saturday nights performance at Shepherd of the Valley found Jake Brandt and Ben Whalin in the audience. They graciously joined the group during Oxen. It was a blast from the past for them. Two other alumni enjoyed Mondays performance at Freedom Plaza. Director Staci Heimsoth introduced Bev Hawkinson

and Duane Kleven as Dancer Pioneers. They were both members of the dancers during the first decade of the groups existence. The final performance was at the Grand Canyon School in Grand Canyon Village. The school is K-12 with 300 total students. The entire school was extremely engaged, energetic and enthusiastic, from the youngest to the oldest. Mr. Monk, the music teacher, shared, I am always trying to expose our kids to other cultures. For this group to contact us, come to our school and put on this performance is more than I could ever hope for. Principal Melster was also thankful: Our kids dont

get exposure to this kind of show. The dancers were great with our little kids and upperclassmen as well. They will be talking about this for weeks. The week was not without a bit of well deserved free time. Although Saturday was the first day there, it was the only opportunity to catch a ballgame. The Brewers played the Angels. The score was not as hoped, but three hours in the Arizona sun was enjoyed, regardless. The Grand Canyon School is near the South Rim of the Canyon. A trip there without seeing the canyon would be unthinkable. For most, it was the first time seeing the canyon. The most often heard
comment was It looks too much like a picture to be real. The group also was fortunate enough to make a stop in Sedona where they enjoyed a Pink Jeep Tour. The ride, billed as scenic, off-road and high adventure fun in spectacular red rock country left no one disappointed. The return flight got the group back to the High School at about 3 a.m. Friday, March 29. The week
was long and tiring, but went by quick. The dancers left a positive impression everywhere they went - from the small appreciative audience at the Arizona Veterans Home to the standing ovation from 3,000 people at the Sun Bowl. The Stoughton Norwegian Dancers are truly Ambassadors to Stoughton. - Submitted article

Bauer: Make A Wish foundation sends Stoughton family to Disney World

Continued from page 1 control, Bauer and his family will be able to take Bauer to swim with dolphins next week a wish granted by the Make A Wish Foundation. Because of epilepsy, Bauer has not been able to travel and do things that he probably would have, and Make a Wish is giving him the ability to do it, Engelhart explained. Bauer and his family will travel to Orlando, Fla., to visit Disney World, Universal Pictures and Sea World and will stay at Give Kids the World Village, a 70-acre nonprofit storybook resort, according to their website. When asked what he was excited about seeing in Florida, Bauers answer was short and sweet: Dolphins. His family is even extending their stay so Bauer can have chance to see the ocean. Im so grateful that theres an organization out there like this, Olson said of Make A Wish, a 32-year-old charity dedicated to granting the wishes of children with lifethreatening medical conditions. Someone that can organize all the medical logistics. Though Bauer might seem like any other kid, bouncing around his familys living room throughout an interview with the
What is epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the nervous system, also known as a seizure disorder. The seizures in epilepsy may be related to a brain injury or a family tendency, but most of the time the cause is unknown. The word epilepsy does not indicate anything about the cause of the persons seizures, what type they are, or how severe they are. SCN1A dysfunction is the most frequent cause of a specific type of debilitating childhood disorder, severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SMEI). Its characterized by seizures that may or may not be related to fevers, as well as mental retardation and ataxia, a neurological dysfunction. SCN1A refers to the most common of six genes that have been identified as having mutated in people with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizure plus. Source: Epilepsy.com and the Journal of Neuroscience

Bauer Engelhart, 5, has been fighting a rare form of epilepsy known as a SCN1A mutation since he was 6 months old. Bauer and his family will travel to Orlando, Fla. through the Make A Wish charity.
Hub , his mother said a lot goes into planning even a simple day trip out. That gives a vacation like this one quite a bit of added stress, she said. Olson noted that every parent worries about their kid, but since Bauers diagnosis, theyve had different worries. Most parents have a plan A, but I always have a plan A, B and C, she said. When the family takes a trip out, they have to plan how far to go, how far
away to park and whether to take Bauers oxygen tank. Olson said she always has every hospital in the area programmed into her GPS. Were not as spontaneous, Engelhart said. You really plan out what you do. Though Bauer has had good control over his seizures in recent months, Engelhart and Olson agree that the worry never goes away. The thought of it
happening and you not being there is terrifying, Olson said. Olson said she never wants to feel stuck in a situation she cant exit, which is why she is most nervous for the plane ride. I already have every hospital in Florida programmed into my phone and GPS, Olson said with a laugh. Since the diagnosis, Olson said she has become what she calls a tiger mom. At first she said she was devastated, but she knew that wasnt helping anyone, so she began digging into all the
information she could find. It took me two weeks to wrap my head around it and scoop myself up off the floor, she said. We were chosen; he chose us. Someone thought we could handle it, and you find your strength somewhere to do it. Olson now runs her own marketing consultant firm from their home in Stoughton while taking care of Bauer. Bauer, who turns 6 on May 15, attends 4-K at Martin Luther Christian School and will start kindergarten at Fox Prairie next fall. Olson said the school
district understands and has done a good job pairing Bauer up with the right teachers, which also helps with some of the worries. Bauers current teacher, Kari Kojo, and aide, Megan Michel, have done a great job with him, she said. Without this small glimpse into their lives, one might never think Bauer is anything more than a regular, 5-year-old boy. During his familys interview, he served his fresh baked cookies, showed off his cowboy, firefighter and construction outfits and sang along with Blues Clues on his iPad, all while his mother explained more and more reasons why Bauer is so special. Bauer enjoys Badger hockey games, swimming, their boat, and the outdoors. When asked what to do when the buzzer goes off at hockey games, Bauer points and shouts, sieve. He also loves to sing and perform and has more compassion and sympathy than most boys his age, Olson said. Epilepsy is not slowing Bauer down, and Make A Wish is giving him another opportunity to go against the grain. Im grateful to the people that give their time and money to these kids, Olson said. Its only money, but what joy that money brings.

Despite shuffling the lineup last week, Stoughton boys tennis continued to play good team tennis, Vikings head coach Ryan Reischel said.
Stoughton 4, Milton 3
Senior John Evans and Justin Shaffer cruised to another win at No. 1 doubles last Wednesday and the Vikings picked up wins at three of four singles flights to hold off Badger South Conference rival Milton, 4-3 in a make-up dual. Though they dominated the first set once again, closing out the match proved more difficult than expected for Evans and Shaffer, who dropped a second-set tiebreaker, which gave the Red Hawks new life. In the end however, experience helped Stoughton close out the match, 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-2. Senior Elijah Thunell, junior Matthew Gharrity and freshman Asher McMullin showed the talent of this years singles lineup by taking matches at No. 2-4 singles. Thunell, who moved down from No. 1 singles a year ago, continued to reap the benefits Wednesday, putting Red Hawks No. 2 singles player Dustin McGarry away quickly, 6-2, 6-3. Gharrity and McMullin were equally impressive at No. 3 and 4 singles, rolling 6-2, 6-2 and 6-1, 6-2, respectively. It was McMullins first win of the season. The win evened Stoughtons conference record at 1-1.
Stoughton Invitational
The Vikings ended up in second place at Fridays Stoughton Quad with 16 points and three titles. McFarland won the quad with 18 points, while Sun Prairie (9) and La Crosse Logan (6) rounded out the field. It was the closest Quad that we have had in all the years that I have run it, Reischel said. It was very good tennis and very fun. Gabe Rowley was Stoughtons lone individual champion, claiming the championship 6-4, 6-2 over McFarland at No. 4 singles. Seniors Tanner Kahl and Thunell moved from No. 1 and 2 singles to No. 2 doubles where

The girls added eight top eight finishes in its field events, while the boys collected four. Senior Haley Houser led the charge in the field for the girls with a first place in the discus. She threw for a distance of 115 feet, 6 inches. Savanna Smith add- Houser ed a fourth place in the discus with a throw of 101-6.

Vikings blow past Oregon to move to 3-1

Anthony Iozzo
It wasnt the best day of golf for the Stoughton boys golf team Tuesday against Oregon at the Stoughton Country Club. But the Vikings were able to fight through some elevated scores due to the wind and hold off Oregon 173-181 to move to 3-1 in the Badger South Conference. Stoughton head coach Dave Taebel said that although the team didnt shoot its lowest score, they will take wins any way they can get them. We just want to be in position going into the conference meet that if we win the meet we can be conference champs, he said. But as for the wind, Taebel said the Vikings need to work on trajectory a
little bit and not hit the ball so high in the air. The wind is a fact of life in the spring in Wisconsin, he said. Fortunately, Oregon struggled with that too. Senior Henry Klongland once again led the way with a 38. Klongland followed a tough double bogey on the ninth hole with a birdie on the first hole to finish the day. That is a huge part of his success, just his ability to ride the emotions and deal with his adversity that inevitably comes in a round of golf, Taebel said. Senior Peter Campbell was next on the team with a 43, while junior Max Fergus shot a 45. Senior Kip Nielsen finished the scoring with a 47. Oregon was led by Carson Torhorst with a 42. Grant ODonnell was next with a 45, while Austin Busler and
Zach Eyers both shot 47s. Stoughton travels to Portage Country Club at 10 a.m. Friday to play in the Portage invite, and it goes to Whistling Straits Country Club Saturday for the Kohler invite. Stoughton finishes the week by hosting Monroe at 3:30 p.m. at Stoughton Country Club.
Monona Grove invite
The Vikings traveled to The Oaks Golf Course in Monona to make up the Monona Grove invite last Thursday. The meet was supposed to be April 18 but rain forced the meet to be moved back a week. Stoughton took advantage of the wait by posting a second-place 307,
Senior Peter Campbell attempts a putt on the ninth hole. He finished with a 43 to help Stoughton defeat Oregon in a Badger South Conference dual 173-181. Stoughton is now 3-1 in conference duals.

Stoughton earns revenge at Milton as Rosowski Ks 10

Anthony Iozzo
Pitching continues to dominate in Badger South Conference games for the Stoughton baseball team. After falling 13-3 to Milton a few weeks ago the Vikings only conference loss so far junior PJ Rosowski stepped up Tuesday in a rematch at Milton and struck out 10 batters in an 11-4 win. PJ has been dialed in since the beginning of the year, head coach Jeremy Dunnihoo said. He has been working hard in the offseason to change his mechanics and it has really paid dividends for him. It didnt hurt that the Stoughton (6-4 overall, 5-1 Badger South) offense exploded for 11 runs either, and it started with the first batter when senior Ben Gerber (3-for-3) roped a lead-off home run to start everything off. It was nice that we set the tone right away, Dunnihoo said. We havent had many games like that this year when we came out hitting. Stoughton scored five in the first and five in the fifth, when it put the game away. Gerber started it off in the fifth with an RBI single, and he later scored on a fielders choice. Sophomore Alex Zacharias followed with an RBI single, while Rosowski knocked in two runs with a double. Senior Tony Volk finished the scoring with an RBI walk in the sixth. After Gerbers home run in the first, Alex Zacharias hit a two-run double, and Rosowski (3-for-5) and senior Zach Bower followed with RBI singles. Rosowski allowed four earned runs on nine hits but had no walks. Stoughton played at Monona Grove Wednesday, but the results were unavailable at the time of the Courier Hubs Tuesday deadline. The Vikings play at 5 p.m. Thursday at Sauk Prairie, at noon Saturday at Mount Horeb and at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Oregon.
and ran away with a 10-3 win. Rosowski picked up another win. He went six innings and allowed two earned runs on seven hits. He struck out four and walked two. He also added an RBI double in the fifth. Junior Chris Lund started the offense off with a 2-run home run in the second inning, and sophomore Cade Bunnell added an RBI single. Rosowski had an RBI sacrifice fly in the third, while Bunnell added an RBI single in the fourth. Bunnell hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth to score senior Zach Nyhagen, and Volk followed with an RBI double to bring home senior Andrew Zacharias. Schultz later hit an RBI single, and Alex Zacharias scored on a passed ball.

Already playing games on Thursday and Friday, the Stoughton softball team was forced to get in make-up games against Fort Atkinson and Monona Grove on Saturday. The Vikings schedule remained full of games with Tuesdays home doubleheader against Milton.
Stoughton, Milton (DH)
La Follette 13, Stoughton 11
The Vikings hosted Madison La Follette last Friday, and the Lancers scored three in the seventh to edge Stoughton 13-11. The Vikings grabbed a 10-3 lead in the third with five runs. Bower hit a two-run double and scored on an RBI single by Gerber. Sophomore Cade Bunnell followed with an RBI double and scored on an RBI ground out by Volk. Stoughton scored six in the first inning. Alex Zacharias hit an RBI ground out, and Bunnell scored on an error by the shortstop. Rosowski added an RBI single, while Bower picked up an RBI ground out.
The Vikings hosted Milton in a doubleheader on Tuesday and nearly pulled out a pair of one-run victories but instead had to settle for a split. Beckwith pitched five innings with no walks and three strikeouts before Seaton took over for the final two innings in a 3-2 win in game one. Brickson continued her hot hitting, going 2-for-4 at the plate, while Tepp went 3-for-4 with a triple. Seaton finished 2-for-3. Stoughton was unable to close out the sweep in the nightcap though, sending three pitchers to the mound in a 6-5 loss. Seaton pitched another three innings in the start before Beckwith faced five batters and Brickson closed the game with three innings of relief work. Allie Moe finished 1-for-2 at the dish Photo by Joe Koshollek with a double and two stolen bases to tie the game. Amy Hansen was 1-for-3.

Fresh off no-hitting Oregon in a doubleheader sweep, Fort Atkinsons Kaitlyn Hollman allowed only three hits Saturday in a 5-1 win against the Vikings. I would say shes the best pitcher weve seen thus far, Vikings head coach Steve Bahrke said of Hollman. Jeff (Agnew) always has his team ready to play. Stoughton freshman pitcher Holly Brickson worked seven innings, allowing two earned runs on two walks and six hits. She struck out four. In what Bahrke called an awesome game, Brickson held the Blackhawks to one run until the sixth when Fort Atkinsons Taylor Henze, who paced the Blackhawks by going 2-for-3, led off a three-run sixth inning with a walk. Hollman followed by driving in a run before Katie Raatz hit a two-RBI single. Henze finished the game 2-for-2, adding a sacrifice fly in the seventh.

Vikings drop three games but score first goal of the season
Goals have been tough to come by for the Stoughton girls soccer team, but it finally was able to break its scoreless streak with a goal Monday at Cambridge/Deerfield. Stoughton, which controlled possession for much of the game, was caught pressing in the 70th minute, however. Cambridges Carly Philpot scored and the Vikings fell 3-1. Despite the odd loss, which had a penalty kick and two odd breaks go against Stoughton (0-5 overall, 0-3 Badger South), head coach Dave Wermuth was optimistic that the girls were able to get seven shots on goal. He just hopes the possession and shots lead to more goals on the stat sheets. I am trying to find the right combination for girls to get the ball into the goal, but it has been hard, Wermuth said. We have a lot of new faces on the team, but the girls are starting to get better at finding one another. Hopefully, we will be able to see more balls go into the net as the season continues. Amanda Hoff scored Stoughtons first goal with an assist to Alex Weeden in the 61st minute. Cambridge struck first in the 32nd minute with a goal by Jessie Steen and an assist to Skye Kravik. Amanda Jensen made it 2-0 in the 35th minute with a penalty kick. Steph Myszkowski finished with a save, while Kaylyn Hinchley picked up six. Stoughton continues the season at 7 p.m. Thursday against Monroe at home before traveling to Lodi at 4 p.m. Friday for a quad. Shanda Roeming assisted Danielle Harris on a goal in the fifth minute before scoring herself in the seventh minute. Roeming added a second goal with an assist to Aneeta Baladi in the 66th minute. Jessica Engle knocked in a goal in the ninth minute, and Savanah Cruz scored in the MG 5, Stoughton 0 59th minute. Wood had 11 saves for Stoughton hosted Monona Grove Saturday and allowed Stoughton, while McKenna three early goals on its way to Crossen picked up three for Monona Grove. a 5-0 loss. Paige Zimmerman made it 2-0 in the 79th minute with an assist to Delaney Hanrahan. Myszkowski was out with a sore neck, and Hannah Wood took her spot in the goal. Wood picked up four saves. Megan Tickner had two for Lake Mills.

Streambank: Erosion concerns most council members

Continued from page 1 of the erosion problem, but nobody wants to hear that, he said.
It erodes to the point that the roots just give way and the tree falls in the water.
Tom Lynch Director Stoughton Parks and Recreation
Action needed
Majewskis opinion wasnt widely shared on the council. Alders Sonny Swangstu (D-1) and Michael Engelberger (D-2) both spoke at last weeks meeting in support of seeking the grant and reinforcing the riverbanks. The councils vote reflected their views. Tom Lynch, the citys director of Parks and Recreation, and streets superintendent Karl Manthe, have worked with the Public Works committee on the project. Lynch said the riverbank work definitely needs to be done. Ive been here 30-some years and weve had a couple trees go in, he told the Hub . It erodes to the point that the roots just give way and the tree falls in the water. If you look closely, you can see that there used to be like a rock wall all along the riverbank, he added. It was really cool; you can see some remains of that in places. But we cant do that again. The DNR discourages walls now, so we have to start doing these projects again, and hopefully it will be more permanent. Ald. Paul Lawrence
(Dist. 2) said the city debated the idea of lowering the water level when it discussed whether to rebuild or remove the dam several years ago. The council decided to rebuild the dam and maintain the river level. People have gotten used to the river level being what it is for the last 50 or 100 years or whatever, Lawrence said. We have an eroding riverbank, and that particular stretch at Division Street Park is looking rough.
What alternatives?
Majewski said he realizes that people dont want to see the mud flats that would result from lowering the rivers level, but he said that would only be temporary. The city could seed and grow plants along the riverbanks, and within a year the mud would disappear, he said. He realized the dam has been rebuilt and is not going anywhere. But he thinks when the city turns its attention to stabilizing Citys best interest? the riverbanks along RivMajewski also objected erside Drive, its going to to the way the funds were be a much more expensive being allocated.
effort than the current proposal. He said hes trying to take the long view of the issue. We spent a quarter-million dollars on a dam that doesnt function the way its supposed to because it will never again generate electricity, as it had in years prior to 1980, he said. Were going to spend probably at a minimum of a half-million dollars to stabilize the banks for the dam that doesnt do anything. I just have a hard time spending money on something that is not necessary. If the city does get the competitive grant, the citys match would be about $90,000. Its got about $35,000 in this years budget for the project. Manthe said the city would get credit for about $38,000 worth of in-kind work, leaving about $17,000 that would need to be set aside in next years budget for the work.
He said if the city is going to use $100,000 for park development, he would rather see it go toward replacing play ground equipment, restoring ball fields or adding a new ball field or pavilion. Or better yet, come into compliance with the (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements for the parks, he said. Those would all be great projects. This is much more of a public works project and it should be there, not in recreation. Lawrence said many people, including past mayors, have urged him and the council to do something about the erosion, particularly at Division Street Park. I think its still in the citys best interest to pursue the grant, he said. The riverfront is something nice for everybody to enjoy, and we should try to do what we can to shore it up. I think we should go after this money and do what we can to stabilize the shore, Lawrence said. He added that during the debate over the dam, someone made the point that if you lower the water level, its going to start exposing all sorts of kind of ugly stuff there like pipes and things of that nature. I just dont see that as being a viable alternative at all at this point, he said.
To dam or not to dam

Several years ago, when the city decided to rebuild the dam on the Yahara River, it didnt engage in a very robust debate and made the wrong decision for the environment, said Ald. Tom Majewski. He thinks the decision to repair the dam was done solely for outward appearances, which could easily change with a little seeding and time. Majewski, who once worked for the Department of Natural Resources as the grant program manager for Stewardship Grants for local municipalities, said experts agree that dams are not good for rivers or the creatures that live in them. Getting rid of the dams improves the water quality, he explained. Its better for fisheries. Environmentally, its better because you get more diversity and have a faster flow. He said grants offered by the DNR support that perspective: There are no grants for the building or rebuilding of dams, but there are grants for the removal of dams and the restoration of rivers afterwards. He pointed to several examples of places where dams were removed. The thing is, when the dam is open and the river is lowered, its only for a short period of time, and you see the mud flats but never see whats going to happen after that process is done, Majewski said. Go to Indianford, go to Rockdale, or Milwaukee or West Bend or Baraboo. There are numerous examples. Tom Lynch, director of Parks and Recreation, said when the council decided to rebuild the dam instead of removing it, part of the argument was because it used to generate power and could again in the future. I think that influenced the decision, he said. But Majewski and Stoughton Utilities director Bob Kardasz both said they highly doubt that will ever happen. Kardasz said rebuilding the power-generating element of the dam would be far too expensive. Lynch said there were council members who thought the river would be healthier if there were no dam. And they were probably right, he said. But there werent enough people that could imagine how that would be. Weve had times when the dam was opened up to work on it, and then you see what happens with the river low and all this exposed mud. Its not a pretty picture, and youd have to look past that and see it all seeded in and with growth along the riverbank. The River Task Force has been wanting to go that way.
Council vote expands downtown redevelopment area

Bill Livick
The Common Council last week unanimously adopted a resolution expanding Redevelopment Area No. 2 to include most of downtown Stoughton and authorizing the city to establish a revolving loan fund. The new boundaries of the redevelopment area nearly double its size. State statutes allow the citys Redevelopment Authority to administer loan funds only within a redevelopment area. The citys new fund
will give downtown business and property owners an opportunity for no-interest or low-interest loans for property improvements. In order to expand the redevelopment area, the city had to certify that at least 50 percent of properties in the area qualify under the states definition of blighted. The city hired Vierbicher Associates to conduct a study of the 108 properties in RA No. 2, which determined that 78 percent would qualify. A property can qualify if it is obsolete or there is deterioration inside or outside a
structure. At the councils meeting in February to accept Vierbichers study, only council president Eric Hohol voted against the resolution, fearing the perception that the blight term could have on businesses and families considering Stoughton as a place to relocate. But Mayor Donna Olson said people should not be concerned about the word. The outcome is a very good thing for our downtown and our downtown businesses and property owners, she said. It means the city will invest in its downtown.

Alder: Prospects need to fill out application

Continued from page 1 2014 election; appoint a replacement to serve until the term expires in April 2016; or leave the seat vacant. As in the past two other times since October 2011 candidates for the seat will fill out a four-question application and submit it to the council. The applicants will then appear at the Tuesday, May 28, meeting to answer the same questions, along with any others the council poses. Ald. Paul Lawrence (Dist. 2) said he would prefer to appoint someone to the Dist. 4 seat for a year, an idea that Olstad himself endorsed. Ald. Tom Selsor (Dist. 4), who in February was appointed to the seat vacated by former Ald. Larry Peterson, said he didnt know if thats really necessary to have somebody come in for one year. He said the job has a steep learning curve and it seems like its a lot of spinning wheels for a very short Olstad time. But the majority felt it would be better to make an appointment and fill the seat. The question is whether anyone will apply. Selsor was the only person to apply for Petersons former seat, even after the council extended the deadline by about a month. That happened in the same district that Olstad represents. Council president Eric Hohol said the council hopes to make an appointment at its May 28 meeting, but he added the group could function without filling the position. On the other hand, a big issue could suddenly surface and there could be all sorts of interest in the seat, he said. Theres really no burning issue that people are overly excited about, Hohol said. That could change, and then there could be a lot of interest in the seat. You just never know. Acting city clerk Pili Hougan said the city will advertise to fill the vacant seat for two weeks, with an application deadline of 4:30 p.m. Monday, May 20. The council plans to interview candidates at its May 28 meeting and seat the chosen candidate at the same meeting. To apply for the seat, which is open to those in Dist. 4 Wards 9 and 10 applications and questionnaires are available at City Hall or the citys website. For information or to have the materials mailed, contact Hougan at 646-0423 or mhougan@ ci.stoughton.wi.us.

Study: Researchers from KU

will visit Fox Prairie
Continued from page 1 new for the district, but the designation from KU marks a new level of study of what Stoughton has been doing, acknowledged Pete Wilson, the districts director of student services. This time, outside researchers will observe classroom instruction to see what goes on and highlight those practices as examples for what other school districts can do. This is the first time we have had this intensive amount of research done, Wilson said. That research will be conducted by KUs new SWIFT (School-wide Integrated Framework for Transformation) Center, which started with the help of a $24.5 million federal grant. Fox Prairie will join schools in Missouri, Florida, Massachusetts and California as the centers first research schools and help the center develop a catalogue of exemplary practices in inclusive teaching that other school districts can use. A team of researchers could be back here by the end of the school year for their first visit, Jamison said. Im just so happy for the people here, he said. I think its really satisfying for them. late February to observe classroom work and meet with parents and teachers. The center looked at things like the level of support teachers receive, the amount of community and parental engagement in the school and evidence-based academic instruction. Wayne Sailor, the head of the SWIFT Center, later informed Jamison that Fox Prairie had been selected. This was a very rigorous process we have just gone through, and you should consider yourself to be among the finest schools in the nation, Sailor told Jamison, according to a news release from SASD.
Major improvement
National attention
Fox Prairie and the other five schools were selected from an initial pool of 35 schools, including Stoughtons River Bluff Middle School, from across the country. Wilson said representatives from the SWIFT Center had contacted him and asked him for recommendations about which Stoughton schools to consider for the project. We popped up on the radar for a number of researchers, Wilson said. Part of that could be the amount of attention the district has been garnering over the past year in particular. Representatives from the Minnesota-based National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO) visited Stoughton last year and later featured the district on its website, which showcases districts that have successfully implemented an inclusive teaching model. Stoughton also won the 2012 District of the Year award from a Washington, D.C.-based organization that advocates for the disabled and their families. After reaching the finalist stage, a team from the SWIFT Center visited Fox Prairie and River Bluff in
Thats quite a contrast from just nine years ago, when Stoughton was flagged by the state Department of Public Instruction for its low graduation rate for students with disabilities. That, along with problems in student test scores in math in particular, prompted a review of how the district delivers instruction. Officials later concluded that special education or struggling students were not receiving the attention they needed when they were pulled out of regular classes. And those were not the only effects from that approach, said Jamison, who has been with the district for more than 20 years. He talked about the effect of pulling a child out of his or her classroom - and away from their friends and essentially segregating them. Their world shrinks, he said. I think it chips away at their self-confidence and self-concept. Now, special education and general teachers work side by side in the same classroom, and in some cases a visitor can walk into a classroom and not know which students have special needs and which do not. The gap between graduation rates for students with and without disabilities, meanwhile, has closed. Test scores have improved. Its the culmination of work that goes back years. Jamison talked about how some of the districts previous issues (at one time it had the third highest rate in the state of placing students into special education) also provided a catalyst for change. Oddly enough, thats probably the best thing that ever happened, he said. Its led to this, and this is just really neat.
