Bill Livick
Art Wendt may be best remembered in Stoughton for the Wendt

Photography Studio that he and
his wife, Eileen, ran on Main
Street for 39 years.
They sold the studio when Wendt
retired in the early 1990s, but Art, a
longtime resident of the city, continued to volunteer for the Stoughton Landmarks Commission until
just a few years ago.

His main project for the commission was to
conserve the Wilhelm Linderud collection of historic
photographs of
Stoughton.
In appreciation for his years
o f s e r v i c e , t h e Wendt
Landmarks Commission created a preservation
Courier Hub
service award in his honor the

Art Wendt Historic Preservation Service Award. Commission
vice-chair Alan Hedstrom presented Wendt with the award at a
Common Council meeting in July
2014.
Wendt spent countless hours
preserving the Linderud collection, part of which is on permanent display in Stoughton Public
Librarys Carnegie Room.
It really shows a time capsule of
Stoughton at that time, Wendt said. Wendt remembered.

Swinging toward a goal

Sandhill students have met their first Literacy Challenge of the
school year after amassing 81,000 minutes of independent reading
by Nov. 20. As a reward, the student body watched as their educators raced through an obstacle course set up in the school gym. If
the kids read another 81,000 minutes by Dec. 18 (for a cumulative
total of 162,000 minutes), their reward is to see principal Cheryl
Price drink a milkshake with ingredients chosen by students, and
if they have read a total of 243,000 minutes by Jan. 22, a Kids vs.
Teachers Competition will be held. The final reward for meeting the
Grand Challenge of 325,000 minutes by Feb. 12 will be a Pies on
Price activity.
Above, Price takes a swing on the obstacle course rope.

City of Stoughton
Council puts $16K toward memorial

Bill Livick
The Common Council showed

strong support of the Stoughton Area
Veterans Memorial Park project last
week when it approved a $16,000
donation.
Ald. Ron Christianson (D-2), a veteran, introduced a resolution to provide the donation, which will come
from this years contingency fund,
though he said he had reservations
about providing the money when
there are things that didnt make it into
next years budget.
In the end, Christianson was the only
alder at the councils Dec. 8 meeting
to not vote for providing the funding. Instead, he abstained, (Ald. Tom
Majewski was absent) nothing that the
city already has a Veterans Park and
that he wasnt sure the council needed
to financially support another outside
of the city.
Council president Paul Lawrence
(D-2) was one of the most vocal supporters of donating the money. He
asked that the proposal for a one-time

donation from the city be placed on the
Finance committee agenda in November. Lawrence said he was approached
by American Legion Post 59 member
Bud Erickson about the donation.
Bud told me that he thinks it would
be appropriate for the city to participate in the Memorial Park, and I
agree, Lawrence wrote in an email to
Mayor Donna Olson last month.
I realize that's a lot of money, he
wrote. I also realize the veterans of
our community have sacrificed a lot
over the years for all of our benefits.
This memorial will be here long
after were gone, Lawrence said at
last Tuesdays meeting. Its a solemn
celebration of veterans sacrifices
not a happy celebration.
Ald. Tim Swadley (D-1) said he
could understand Christiansons concern about using contingency dollars
to support the memorial, but still felt
its a worthwhile project that deserves
our support.
American Legion Post 59 member
Duane Broughton fielded questions
Commission forwards
Dunkin Donuts rezone
Jacob Bielanski
Despite concerns over parking, the Planning Commission

on Monday was unanimous in
recommending approval of a
zoning change for a potential
Dunkin Donuts franchise.
It was the second time a plan
to redevelop what is now a BP
gas station at Main and Gjertson streets had come before the
commission. Previously, the
owners had sought a long list of
waivers from the existing zoning, but Monday, they instead
asked to rezone the site to a designation more friendly to having a drive-thru lane.
Since the previous meeting,
the designer also removed an
additional retail space to accommodate the commissions other
requests. Those included properly-sized parking stalls four
in front of the restaurant, and
six next to the gas pumps as
well as a wider drive thru lane
than was in the original plan.
If approved by the council,
the site would be rezoned from
planned development-business,
to a more flexible, but cumbersome planned development district (PDD). PDD requires multiple trips back to the commission and council and provides
an opportunity for the city to
request a higher level of architectural quality.
Among the requested deviations from standard zoning
are smaller setbacks. The current zoning, because of the
lots place on U.S. Hwy. 51,
requires a 40-foot setback on
the west wide. Though the site
plan offers only a 19-foot setback, city planning and development director Rodney Scheel
explained the 40-foot setback is
not common in the city.
This time around, the plan
also won approval from the
owner of an insurance company
adjacent to the southern edge
of the lot. Corey Potter, owner
of that company, told the commission that though he still has
concerns with the cedar fencing
against his property and the limited parking it was overall a
great improvement from what is
existing.
Commissioner Todd Krcma

tried to address the parking by
asking for a contingency on the
rezone, that the business would
prohibit employees from parking at the location. Commission chair Donna Larson said,
however, that provision seemed
impossible to enforce.
The buildings owners countered commissioners parking concerns by asserting that
the majority of the business is
expected to be drive-up, and not
from people parking to sit down
in the restaurant.
Architect Tom Vavra
answered select questions about
the building changes. He noted
that stormwater retention an
area that had not been addressed
by the new plan but was cause
for concern at the previous
meeting would be handled
through an on-site, underground
system.
The owners also pledged to
contract with a company to
remove snow from the site.
Commissioner Matt Hanna
also had concerns about the
landscaping plan, which included seven unspecified shrubs
near the drive-thru sign at the
north end of the lot facing Main
Street. If those shrubs were typical dogwoods, he warned, they
would grow as big as 10 feet.
Its a tough one, Hanna
said, staring at a projection of
the site plan. On a different
site, I think it would be great for
the city.
With the Dec. 22 meeting of
the Common Council canceled,
the issue is likely to be taken
up at the meeting following, on
Jan. 12.
Safety study
Plans for a multi-family
development on the 400 block
of Van Buren Street were sent
to the Public Safety Committee.
The plan was tabled at the
previous Planning meeting,
after residents expressed concerns over the lack of adequate
parking.
The Public Safety Committees Dec. 23 meeting was cancelled, and another meeting has
not yet been set.
from the council about the project

before the vote.
He said the memorial is a cooperative project between Stoughtons
American Legion Post 59 and VFW
Post 328. Its planned to be built on a
2.38-acre parcel at the corner of County B and Country Club Road on land
donated by Oscar and Shirley Linnerud.
Organizers goal is to raise $800,000
for the memorial, which will feature
a black marble monument to include
the names of all veterans from the
Stoughton area dating back to the Civil
War, including National Guard and
Reserves. There will also be a variety of informative plaques, benches, a
centerpiece on a pedestal with an eagle
mounted on top, and a variety of service flags.
So far organizers have collected
more than 2,000 names of veterans,
and hope to eventually get around
5,000 names on the memorial.
The citys donation will be used to
purchase one of the 12 pillars at the
site.
Council overrules police,

gives bartender second chance
Bill Livick
The Common Council

extended some generosity
at last weeks meeting to
Sherry Johnson, after she
failed to get the endorsement of the citys police
department and Public
Safety Committee for a
bartender license.
The committee voted
3-2 against granting the
license after police chief
Greg Leck recommended
denial of the application.
Leck said Johnson was
convicted a felony theft
more than 20 years ago
and was basing his recommendation on that conviction.
Johnson was also arrested for driving while intoxicated twice in the past
in 2005 and in 2000.

Johnson spoke during the meeting and said
shes been offered a job
at the Nevermind Bar. She
said she had completed an
alcohol servers course
and holds a Wisconsin
Alcohol Seller/Server certificate. Johnson also said
shes learned from her
past mistakes.
Ald. Paul Lawrence
took a lead role in advocating for the council to
approve the resolution
granting Johnson a bartenders license.
We (the council)
have given people second chances many, many
times, he said.
The resolution passed
on a voice vote.

KPW phase II buildings in the works

Jacob Bielanski
Steinkraus told the commission the company was

already in talks with multiple ownership groups to
bring the project to lot 8 of the KPW project. He
said Forward conducted a marketing study that
showed the area primed for the project.
He noted that many area businesses are sending
out-of-area visitors to Madison for lodging.
As construction gets underway on a new WalMart, Kwik Trip, and McFarland State Bank, Kettle
Park Wests developer delivered a presentation on
the next part of the project to the Plan Commission
on Monday.
The Phase II plan will include two multiunit retail structures adjacent to the Wal-Mart.
Forward Develop Group representative Dennis Steinkraus said construction on the two
buildings is expected to begin next fall on
what would be lots 4b and 7.
Steinkraus added that they have letters of
intent for roughly half of the building on lot
4, and for about 40 percent of the building
at lot 7.
Steinkraus told the commission to expect a
lot subdivision request for lot 4, as the intended single-building for lot 4 is now going to be
two separate buildings.

Letter to the editor
Dangerous drivers a growing hazard

After a driver on Page St. followed my car way too closely for safety and then gave me a gesture when I turned off, and another driver
passed me on the left on Lincoln St. as school kids were walking home
from school, I made a comment to my son about the crazy drivers in
town.
He then told me that he has nearly been hit twice this year by vans
while walking to school and crossing the street in a crosswalk. One
driver did hit his hand. The other driver hit his brand-new backpack,
successfully ripping off one strap. One of the drivers was so rude as to
give my son an obscene gesture, too.
Where has common courtesy gone? Wasnt it bad enough to hit my
son? Wasnt it bad enough to wreck his backpack,which we dont have
funds to replace? What kind of jerk gives an obscene gesture to a kid?
Shame on all of you! Dont get me started on the hearses parked in
handicapped parking spaces or people without handicapped plates
or handicapped hangers who park in handicapped spaces at the high
school and elsewhere. Im going to start taking license plate numbers.
Please, please, please act like responsible drivers before someone gets
killed.
I hope you at least get coal in your stockings for Christmas.

Biggest literary event in

decades defines 2015
In 2015 we saw the biggest literary event in decades the publication of Harper Lees second book,
Go Set a Watchman.
Second book? It was really her
first. Go Set a Watchman was
written in 1957
and purchased
by publisher
J.B. Lippencott,
before To Kill
a Mockingbird.
However, the
publisher was
more interested
in the flashback
MacDonald
scenes showing the characters as children, and convinced
Harper Lee to write an additional
book focusing on those past events
which became the famous To Kill
a Mockingbird.
If you havent read either book,
start with To Kill a Mockingbird,
then try Go Set a Watchman.
The Wright Brothers is
Pulitzer Prize winner David
McCulloughs latest addition to
his series on American history,
which also includes his books
John Adams and Truman. This
book gives us a look at Orville and
Wilbur the men, how they accomplished what they did, and how
two bicycle repairmen became historys most renowned aeronautical
pioneers.
Arguably one of the most underappreciated writers of this year is
Chinese American Qiu Xiaolong.
His first Inspector Chen mystery story was published in 2000
(Death of a Red Heroine), and
was then named the best book of
the year by National Public Radio.
Qiu Xiaolong enjoys great popularity in Europe and Asia, but is
relatively unknown in America.
Mr. Qius ninth novel in the series
came out this year and is titled
Shanghai Redemption, which the
Wall Street Journal picked as one
of the best mysteries of the year.
Timely and controversial is an

understatement when describing
Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now by Somalian born
Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The author asserts
that Christianity became civilized,
refined and ready for the modern
world, thanks to the efforts of the
16th century reformers; and that
Islam needs a similar reformation
to remain a relevant part of the 21st
century.
Louise Penny is one of the English speaking worlds most popular
mystery writers. Her protagonist is
Armand Gamache, Chief Inspector
of the Sret du Qubec. Many of
the 11 novels take place in the idyllic village of Three Pines, in southern Quebec.
The first eight books in the series
all won multiple awards. The last
five all debuted in high positions
on the New York Times bestseller
list.
This years addition to the series
is The Nature of the Beast, about
a boy in Three Pines who cried
wolf once too often.
The Witches: Salem, 1692 is
a new book by Stacy Schiff, who
also won the Pulitzer Prize. She
presents the Salem Witch Trials
as one of three major events in
American history in which women played pivotal roles (the others
being Prohibition and the Suffrage
movement.)
As of this writing, The Witches is number eight on the New
York Times non-fiction best seller
list, and there are nearly 300 holds
on the 38 copies in the South Central Library System. More copies
are on the way!
The number of notable books
is endless, but this column is not.
Therefore, very briefly, here are
the last of my ten titles.
For fiction: The Girl on the
Train by Paula Hawkins and
All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr, both are New
York Times top best sellers.
For non-fiction: Between the

World and Me by Ta-Nehisi
Coates. Its about what its really
like being black in America. The
book is currently #5 on the New
York Times non-fiction best seller
list.
My final book is from 2013 but
Ive put it on this list because of
its recent rise in prominence: Our
Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human
Era by American author James
Barrat.
Its not a pleasant book because
most people dont like to read
negative things about technology.
They want to read about technological wonders to come.
This book is about the future of
technology, but unlike most books
of this nature, and Ill quote from
the publisher:
The promises that [technology]
holds for our future are discussed in
terms of an utopian vision intelligent, helpful robots; enhanced
brain function; disease-and-famine
ridding nanotechnology, and other
positive benefits.
But theres another, rarely discussed and far darker possibility
We may be racing towards our
own annihilation, as the military,
academia, and corporate advances
in artificial intelligence may lead
to an uncontrollable new lifeform
far smarter and more powerful than
we can imagine
Our Final Invention explores
how the convergence of current
developments in technology may
lead to a catastrophic outcome
within the next few years.
There you have them: five fiction books, four non-fiction books,
and one that seems to merge the
two. May you find good reading in
2016!
Richard MacDonald is the
director of the Stoughton Public
Library.

the buildings, too, he said.
Along with preserving
the Linderud collection,
Wendt is especially proud
of a photograph he took in
the early 1990s of Stoughton City Hall with all the
people in front of it.
We just put out an open
invitation and anyone who
came was in the photo, he
recalled. We at the Landmarks Commission were
applying for a Heritage
Award, and it was at Syttende Mai time, and so I
took the photo with City
Hall and people in Norwegian costumes to show our
heritage.

Its a fascinating collection, said Landmarks

Veregin. Were lucky to
have hundreds of photographs from more than 100
years ago of the community.
make prints, he recalled.

Thats how I got into
photography. It was just
after WWII so photography was fairly good at that
time.
The Wendts moved to
Stoughton to buy a photography studio available on
Fourth Street. They later
moved the business to Main
Street, where Cheesers is
today.
The couple raised two
children here.
Art became an avid photographer who won numerous awards for his photography in state and national
competitions. He was also
honored by many states
photographic associations and nationally for his
achievements in portrait
photography.
He also served as a director of the Stoughton Historical Society from 1974
to 79.
Wendt said he became
interested in the Landmarks
Commission because it was
involved in preserving historic buildings like the one
he owned.
My main interest was in

turn of the century, on glass
plates.
Once he realized the
extent of what was available, including shots of
many old houses, he decided it was a good project for
the commission to take on.
Wendt said he did most of
his work preserving the
photos after he retired in
1992.
I had to change them
from the glass negatives
to a digital file to make
prints, he explained. It
took me a good long while.
It was a hobby kind of
thing; I worked at it off and
on. It entailed digitally photographing every negative.
Wendt then made a collection of 11-by-14 inch
photographs to be displayed in the Carnegie
Room at the library. He
also created a photo album
that holds about 30 prints
from the collection. He
used to change the photos
in the album a couple of
times a year, though after
he stepped back from his
involvement with the commission, he left that job to
others.
When I gave up being
responsible for the collection, I gave up the photo
album, too, he said.
Art, over many years,
applied for grants to buy
archival supplies to preserve the collection in a
safe, stable environment,
his wife said. Art made
it his project to conserve
the collection, and then he
would put up photographs
in the library.
Eileen Wendt said her
favorite in the collection depicts Hwy. 51 when
it was just two mud tracks,
before it was a paved road.
Most of the photographs
are of buildings on Main

David Brooks recent bestseller, The Road to Character,

makes a compelling case for the importance of character in
our lives. He draws a distinction between what he calls the
rsum virtues and the eulogy virtues. The rsum virtues are
our accomplishments and competencies which help us gain
employment, while the eulogy virtues are those things which
have most to do with our character. Are we kind, honest,
or brave, and do we form loving and lasting relationships?
Do we spend as much time cultivating our character as we
do our work skills and educational credentials? His book
is a powerful and moving exhortation to spend more time
and effort working on our characters. We will probably be
remembered more for our character (or lack thereof) than
for the skills and accomplishments listed on our rsums.
Reflect on what you can do this year to improve your
character.

Krumholz seals the deal

Stoughton wins fifth
straight at rival Oregon
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
In a typical Badger South Conference physical, low-scoring game,

the Stoughton High School boys
basketball team trailed by a point
to rival Oregon with just over three
minutes left.
But with shots not falling for
either team, senior Adam Krumholz
decided to use his quickness to get
the Vikings on the board.
Krumholz was able to drive to the
basket through the Panthers zone
and put up two tough layups to help
Stoughton grab a five-point lead.
That was enough as junior Troy
Slaby added a basket and four free
throws down the stretch to lead the
Vikings to a 43-38 win on the road.
I just realized that getting great
looks was what we needed, Krumholz said. When our opposite side
is screening and distracting the
defense, that gap is wide open to
drive. (Coach Luke Wainwright)
just told me to drive, be aggressive
and be solid once you get down into
the paint, so that really helped out.
But besides those closing heroics, Stoughton was in the position to
win because of its rebounding and
defense. The Vikings outrebounded Oregon 31-19 and forced tough
shots, and a lot of the damage was
done on the offensive boards.
Giving ourselves those eight
extra opportunities getting another look at the hoop, drawing another
foul, score with the clock stopped
and be able to set up our defense.
Those are the types of 50-50 balls
that we talked about in the pregame that we needed to win, and we
did that, Wainwright said.
And that was even bigger since
both teams shot under 40 percent
from the field.
We have always preached
defense first. We cant really control a lot of things. Sometime,
the ball just doesnt go in. But on
the defensive end, if you always
have effort, then we cant really
go wrong, McGlynn said. We
always have that intensity and try to
get our guys really pumped up for
defense.
The win moved Stoughton to 2-0
in the Badger South Conference. It
was the first win on the road.
Wainwright said he talked about
having a different mindset on the
road and told the guys to be mentally prepared for being out of the

The Stoughton boys

swimming team posted 33
best times to take second
place Friday at the Milton
Invitational without Chase
Milliam due to the flu, and
five teammates out with
injury/illness or prior commitments.
I know the guys were
nervous going into their
first meet with individual events, Vikings head
coach Katie Talmadge
said. Up until now its
been all about relays, but
tonight gave each guy an
opportunity to show his
team what he can do to
contribute. Several guys
really stepped up in their
individual races. They
really showed a lot of
ambition and drive to represent their school well.
Milton posted 470 points
to finish 31 points ahead of
Stoughton. The Platteville/
Lancaster co-op rounded
out the top three with 329
points.
Senior Sam Hynek won
the Vikings lone event,
taking the 100-yard freestyle in 53.56 seconds.
Fellow senior Tristin
Heisig added a third-place
finish in 54.64.
Heisig went on to post
a runner-up finish in the
50-yard freestyle (24.5),
while fellow senior Gabe
Ross took third in the 200
IM (2:23.35). and helped
the Vikings close out the
meet, taking second place
in the 100 breaststroke
(1:11.21).
Gabe made a great
showing in his individuals, but shined in his relay
legs, Talmadge said.
Hes an amazing leader,
quiet but firm in his expectations for his team. Hes
the hardest worker in practice and its paying off in
his meets.
The all-senior 200 free
relay of Aaron Meyer,
Ian Trautman, Hynek and
Heisig would chip in with
a second-place time of
1:38.92.
Ross later joined sophomore Ian Bormett, Trautman and Hynek to post a
runner-up finish in the 200
medley relay (1:50.84).
Trautman, Ross, Heisig
and Hynek closed out the
meet by taking the 400
free in 3:56.55.
It was the Vikings first
year putting two teams in

Varese slaps Stoughton past Kettle Moraine co-op

Stoughton 6, Milton 1
Stoughton boys hockey

opened the week with a big
challenge on Friday, facing the defending Badger
South champion Madison
Edgewood Crusaders inside
LaBahn Ice Arena.
A top-10 ranked team to
start the season, Edgewood
lived up to the hype, earning
a 7-0 victory led by junior
forward Grant Reichenbacher, who recorded two
power-play goals and a
short-hander for a hat trick
in the win. Reichenbacher
was far from done there,
however, assisting on all
four of the Crusaders other
goals.
Despite playing toe-to-toe
with the Edgewood through
the first six minutes of the
first period, Stoughton saw
its fortune quickly change.
Turning the puck over twice
on the power play, Stoughton saw Blake Richter and
Reichenbacher lead a pair
of odd-man rushes up the
ice that resulted in shorthanded goals and a 2-0 lead
for the Crusaders entering
the first intermission.
Edgewood continued to
thrive on the special team
units from there as Reichenbacher, Carter Hottmann
and Justin Dragoo popped
in four unanswered powerplay goals within the first
7:11 of the second period.
We learned that against

good teams we cannot take

because they will capitalize
on those mistakes, Vikings
head coach Kris Rosholt
said.
Nathan Rehm capped
the evening with an evenstrength goal early in the
third period.
Stoughton freshman
Carson Roisum stopped
26 of 32 shots on goal
before giving way to Carter
Hellenbrad, who turned

away 11 of 12 in the third
period.
Edgewoods Ben Cegelski made 27 saves for his
first shutout of the season.
Stoughton 1, KMMO 0
Twenty-four hours later
senior defenseman Nathan
Varese scored an unassisted goal midway through
the third period to lift the
Vikings past the sectional
rival Kettle Moraine co-op

1-0.
Nathan was able to get
the puck and some room to
skate through neutral ice,
Rosholt said. As a defenseman he was just trying to
put a good shot on net and
then get back to his position.
He put a really nice slap
shot on net and beat the
goaltender.
Roisum earned his first
shutout this season Saturday inside Nagawaukee Ice

Arena, brushing away all 20
shots he faced.
Despite holding a 2-1 shot
advantage, KMMO dropped
to 0-6-1 on the season with
Paul Mclean stopping eight
shots of nine shots on goal.
The victory improved the
Vikings to 2-1 against sectional rivals with key games
against the Waukesha (Dec.
17) and Janesville co-ops
Stoughton finished out

the week Tuesday inside the
Mandt Center where they
share the ice with the Milton Red Hawks.
Both teams entered the
game looking for their first
conference win of the season, but it was the Vikings
that scored six-unanswered
goals to bury the Red
Hawks 6-1.
Despite giving up an
early first-period goal, the
Vikings knotted the score
on a Nolan Stapelfeldt goal
and kept rolling from there,
scoring two powerplay
goals on a 10-minute major
by Milton for checking from
behind in the second period.
Kirby helped Stoughton
take control for good, scoring a pair of power-play
goals less than a minute a
part near the midway point
of the second period.
Varese also added a second period goal before Kirby capped off his hat trick
with an even-strength goal
2:30 into the third period.
Kyle Zeimet scored on
a final powerplay goal
four minutes later for the
Vikings (5-3-0 overall, 1-10 conference).
Hellenbrandt stopped 16
shots on goal in the win,
while Justin Burke turned
away 33 for the Red Hawks
(3-4-0, 0-2-0).

Peter Miller
Peter D. Miller, age 63,

of Madison/Stoughton/
Evansville passed away on
Sunday, Dec. 13, 2015 surrounded by his family after
a long battle with diabetes
and liver disease.
Born on August 12,
1952, Pete had been active
in the food service business
since he was a child working alongside his parents
at Millers Discount House
and then moving on to Corner Superette. Pete and his
wife Nancy then founded
Millers Surplus Sales and
L & S Wholesale.
Mary Danks Keller, 68,

of Mountville, Pa. and formerly of Stoughton, passed
away peacefully at home
Sunday, Nov. 8, 2015 after
she fought a courageous
battle with cancer.
Mary spent many years
as a VERY well-loved
waitress at local diners
around Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin. She is survived
by her loving husband of
more than 30 years, Leroy
Keller; two very loving
kids, Jon Danks (fiance,
Christine Rowles) and
Jodi Danks Risden; three

very loving stepdaughters,
Diane Keller Heberlein
(Karl, her loving son-inlaw), Joan Keller Belch
(Mark), and Audray Keller;
and five grandchildren,
Nia, Cain, Cree, Cody and
Catherine.
In lieu of flowers or
cards, donations may be
made to Hospice and Community Care of Mt. Joy,
PA 17552.
Mary is now the loving
Angel that will watch over
all of us.
Pete was also an active

hobby farmer where in the
1980s he had numerous
properties in the Mount
Hope, Wis. area with a
large head of beef cattle.
His love of animals resurfaced in the past year as he
took on a handful of beef
cattle and pigs.
Pete was not a man of
many words to express his
feelings but he showed his
affections in his actions.
Those who knew him can
understand that when he
harassed you or just poked
fun at you, you were special to him.
His grandchildren always
knew that when they saw
Papa he was going to
tease them and they gave it
right back to him.
Pete is survived by the
mother of his children,
Nancy Miller (Todd Wolf);
daughters Sarah Laufenberg (CJ Chamberlain)
and Louisa Mahieu; seven grandchildren, Blake
and Bradly Laufenberg,
Julianna Mahieu (Wesley Housel), Savanna
Mahieu (Drew Townsend),
Noaj, Annalisa and James
Mahieu. He is further
survived by his siblings,

Karen Latsch, Tom Miller
(Pam) and Diane Ruppert
(Gary). Also surviving
Pete are numerous family members, friends, business acquaintances and his
extended Vale family.
He was preceded in death
by his parents, Peter J. and
Catherine M. Miller; niece/
god-daughter Tracy Judd
Graser and sister-in-law
JoAn Barber (Vale).
In his final days he just
wanted to go home for one
day. He is at home now
with his family in heaven.
Pete-Dad-Papa, you are
now in no more pain and
you will be missed and
loved by all.
A Mass of Christian
Burial will be held at 11
a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 19
at Good Shepherd Catholic Parish at St. Joseph
Church, 1905 W. Beltline
Hwy., Madison, with Msgr.

Consultant: Firm would help city with business retention, expansion, marketing, more
the city.
Becker said the firm would help
the city with business retention
and expansion, recruitment, marketing, prospect development and
outreach, as well as staff support
and guidance.
Before we get started with this
contract, well sit down with staff
to identify what those activities
are, he said. Well be reaching out to different prospects and
developers that come to our attention in terms of making sense to
target them to come to Stoughton.
Ald. Regina Hirsch (D-3) questioned Vierbichers rate as set in
the contract.
So this contract is only for four
hours per week for 48 weeks? she

asked. So that youre only putting
in 192 hours per year, or is it that
youre only going to be on site for
four hours per week?
Becker assured her that his firm
would put in more time than the
minimum.
We wanted to have a designated timeframe that were here in
the city and available to meet with
businesses and other stakeholders, he said.
Hirsch said her concern was it
would be really expensive if it
were just four hours a week.
No, Becker said. There will
be time in the office as well.
Becker has worked with the city
since at least 2006 as a consultant
to the Redevelopment Authority,

and he said he would continue in
that role. Hes been a key figure in
city planning to redevelop an area
along the Yahara River between
Fourth and Eighth streets, including the former MillFab property.
Mayor Donna Olson told the
Hub that she, planning director

Rodney Scheel and finance director/economic development director Laurie Sullivan would work as
a team with Punt and Becker.
Well be meeting with them
frequently to talk about some
goals and objectives and reaching
out like Ive been doing for the
last six years to current businesses
to find out how theyre doing and
if there is any support that we can
give, Olson said.
She added that the council has
talked for years about hiring an
economic developer, and while
our budgets dont support that, this
to me is a great intermediate step.
Then youre not bringing
another staff member on board, but
youre working with a consultant
who will have connections in all

sorts of other arenas and works for
all sorts of different communities
as well.
Olson said shes excited to
have it going forward.
She noted there will be opportunities for the consultants to talk
with council about their thoughts,
and there will be frequent reports
about what Punt has been able to
accomplish.
The hard part about economic
development is you could indeed
have an economic developer on
staff and still not have economic
development, Olson said.
She noted that some of the consultants expenses could be reimbursed to the city through the different TIF districts in Stoughton.
