OWI decreases
Stoughton saw fewer
arrests for OWI for the
third straight year. In
2013, the department had
79 OWI incidents, compared with 114 in 2012
and 127 in 2011. The
majority of cases were
alcohol-related.
Of the 79 arrests for
OWI, 10 were for drug
related offenses: five for
marijuana, three prescription medication and one
each for heroin and hallucinogens, according to
the report.
First-time offenders
accounted for the bulk
of the cases: 54 were
logged in 2013 for firstoffense OWI. That number is down from about
75 the year before. Repeat
offenders stayed relatively
similar, though second
offense cases dropped
from 21 to 11 last year.
Only three felony OWIs
were logged last year. In
most cases, thats a persons fifth OWI or beyond
(or fourth within a fiveyear period). In 2012 and
2011, seven felony OWI
cases each year were
logged.
The average blood-alcohol concentration for each
tested subject stayed the
same as in 2012 at 0.15
percent - nearly twice the
legal limit.
Efforts to reduce OWIs
will continue in the city.
The department participated in the Capital Area
OWI Task Force (a highvisibility patrol with a
dozen or more cars police
cars on a single night) and
has plans for two OWI
enforcement programs in
2014.
Some increases
Despite the continued
reduction in OWI offenses, other crime categories
increased in 2013.
Sexual assault cases
Closing part of Ridge Street would allow Stoughton Hospital to reconfigure its parking lot and provide
better access to the health care facility.

our years.
Thats how long Ive
spent deeply caring about
the four communities Unified
Newspaper Group serves.
Last week marked the end of
my job as page designer and
community reporter at UNG.
Like any relationship, while
weve had our ups and downs,
its hard to say
goodbye. But
unlike most
relationships,
Im letting
go of not one
connection,
but rather hundreds of them
through all
Vlisides
of the inspiring people Ive
interviewed and worked closely
with throughout the years.
Getting to know the people in
Verona, Stoughton, Fitchburg,
Oregon and their surrounding
communities is truly what has
made this job memorable and
enjoyable. Of course, Im also
going to miss the incredibly
hard-working, close-knit and
often quirky and fun group of
co-workers at UNG.
But before I talk about my
new life path, theres something
Ive found to be an intensely
narrow experience reporters go
through that I want to point out.
Its the opportunity to, within
minutes of meeting someone,
ask them to tell you about the
most intimate details of their
life. Some of the time, people
are sharing accounts they may
never have had the opportunity
to tell anyone before, and its
not an experience Ive taken
lightly.
We Midwesterners grow up
with this inherent sense of crippling modesty, and through this
job Ive often had to convince
people their story is worth telling. Ive learned that sharing
doesnt have to be bragging.

FAIR EDITION
Should Wisconsin
increase the minimum
wage to $10.10 an hour?
Thats a question Dane
County voters will get to
decide on in November
after the Dane County
Board of Supervisors last
week approved adding
it to the fall ballot. The
resolution reads, in part,
We can not expect Dane
County, Wisconsin, or
the nation to thrive and
recover from the current
economic downturn if
people working full time
jobs do not earn enough
money to surviveto feed
and house themselves, let
alone their children and
families.
Supervisor Carousel
Bayrd, the lead sponsor
of the resolution, said the
county is joining dozens
of other communities
across the state in an effort
to raise the minimum
wage from $7.25 per hour.
According to the resolution text, if the minimum
wage had kept pace with
inflation since 1968, it
would now be nearly $11
per hour.
Wisconsinites who
work a full days work
deserve enough money to
support themselves and
their families, she said.
Under the current minimum wage, it is impossible for full time Dane
County workers to feed
and house themselves.
We should be ashamed of
that. I am confident that
Dane County voters, and
voters across Wisconsin,
will support an increase
in the minimum wage, to
give all working families
and chance to survive and
thrive in Wisconsin.
Dane County Board
chair Sharon Corrigan
said raising the minimum
wage will lift thousands
of Wisconsinites out of
poverty and reduce reliance on government programs.
This referendum essentially asks Dane County
voters if they want to stop
subsidizing businesses
who pay their workers so
little that those workers
must rely on government
assistance to survive, she
said.
Dane County Clerk
Scott McDonell said the
referendum is not likely
to increase the cost of
conducting the November
election.

Stoughton 6, Albion 5
Good teams find a way to win
ugly. That was the sentiment most
everyone expressed following the
Merchants 6-5 comeback victory
last Sunday. As heated rivalry game
as youre likely to find in the section,
Stoughton drew four walks to seal
the fate of the visiting Albion Tigers.
Simon Maurice drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth
inning to give Stoughton a 6-5 win
over Albion on Sunday.
The win, the Merchants second
head-to-head against the Tigers, also
gave Stoughton a two-game lead
over Albion. Stoughton remained a
game ahead of second place Utica
with the victory.
Its obviously not as exciting as
getting hit, but its a win, Maurice
said. Im happy with it. Winning
today was huge
Winning pitcher Kris Rosholt
drew a one-out walk in the ninth
before T.J. DiPrizio walked and both
runners advanced on a wild pitch.
Fuller followed with a third walk to
load the bases before Albion reliever
Kris Agnew was pulled in favor of
veteran Mike Nanstad, who walked
in Maurice.
Its a double up weekend for
everybody, Merchants manager
Dale Seffens said. Were all kind
of light on pitching by this point. We
just knew if we could hang around,
wed eventually get some runners on
and it paid off.
Lead-off hitter Ben Gerber (3-for5) and Maurice (3-for-4) each had
three hits. Max Fuller added two doubles and Rosholt scored three runs
to lead the Merchants (11-1) offensively.
Eric Skip Gerber got the start
and threw six innings, scattering six
hits and allowing three earned runs.
He walked four and struck out two.
It was huge for us to take this
two games without Jeremy on the
mound, Seffens said. Albion is a
very good team. You cant take them
lightly.
Going into this game a little light
on pitching Skip did a nice job.
Hes been gone for a couple weeks
and hadnt played a whole lot until
Friday night. He did a nice job keeping us in the ball game.
While Seffens said PJ Rosowski
will be a nice addition to the lineup,
the recent SHS grad looked a little
Kris Rosholt and Ben Gerber celebrate following Rosholt scoring Stoughtons game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning on Sunday. Simon Maurice walked
to score Rosholt, giving the host Merchants the 7-6 Southeast Section victory over Albion.
Stoughton 7, Evansville 6
Stoughtons DiPrizio and Maurice
each hit two-run singles in a fourrun eighth inning Friday evening in
Evansville during the teams annual
Fourth of July tilt.
Up 3-0 after the second inning,
the late inning helped the Merchants
bounce back after blowing an early
lead to hold on for a 7-6 victory over
Evansville.
We kind of farted around on
defense and gave them a couple of
runs, Seffens said.
Stoughton continued to hit the ball
right at the Jays defense until the
eighth inning when they scored four
crucial runs. Needing Erick Sperloen
to go the distance, the Merchants
allowed three runs in the ninth, but
held on by the skin of their teeth.

three runs with a two-out double and

Back-to-back champs
The Dane County Coyotes U17 Lacrosse Team, which is made up of local lacrosse players from
Verona, Oregon, Stoughton, Sun Prairie, DeForest, Waunakee and Edgewood high schools, claimed
back-to-back championships at the Lax Geneva and Windy City Lax Bash tournaments.
Team members are: Reece Brown, Patrick Stigsell, William Johnson, Joey Spahn, Bryce R. Kessel,
Conner Finnegan, Jacob J. OHearn, Noah Maurer, Leo K. Sharkey, Tim Wright, Sam Onsager, William
Cioci, Jake Keyes, Ben Procknow, Marcel J. Emond, Alexander J. Schultz, David Romens, Dominic M.
Sabbarese, Trent Ricker, Dylan Gross, Cade S. Hansen and coaches Kevin Bice, Matt Koslowski and
Josh Wollin.
Hasselberger followed
with an RBI walk before East
pulled its starter. The switch
did little to cool Stoughtons
bats, though, as Ripp promptly hit a two-run single.
One out later, Wanninger
added a two-run triple over
the East center fielder before
Michael Gerber grounded out
to end the game.
Though the game was
played at Stoughton High
School, the Regents were the
hosts, jumping out to a 7-2
lead with six runs in the bottom of the fourth.
East doubled, singled
twice, walked twice and benefitted from a pair of Stoughton errors in the decisive
inning.
We couldnt hit the strike
zone and when we did, they
were able to hit a lot of bloopers, assistant Mark Farrell
said.
