would seem to have changed with

the big election victory of KPW
opponent Kathleen Tass Johnson
over longtime incumbent Ron
Christianson, a KPW supporter,
in Dist. 2.
Johnson garnered 648 votes to
Christiansons 378, and she told
the Hub her opposition to KPW
was a key reason she entered the

race.
On top of that, another candidate who has opposed the development, Dennis Kittleson, was
elected to succeed KPW-supporter Sonny Swangstu in Dist.

another three-year term on the
council.

Stoughtons Planning
Commission gave a crucial endorsement to a large
residential portion of the
Kettle Park West development Monday night after
recommending significantly increased public access
to the concept plans park.
Forward Development
Groups second phase
now goes to the Common
Council, where it will
present its final design.
Before making its unanimous recommendation,
the five-member commission modified the plan to
move four duplexes at the
center to various other
spots in order for clear
access to the park.
FDG manager Dennis
Steinkraus said the company was fine with the
alteration.
Well change our
maps, he told the commission.
Other changes since
the plan was introduced
include a 15 percent
reduction in the number
of homes and expansion of
its parkland.
FDG and city officials
will meet with Town of
Rutland officials Monday,
April 18, to continue discussions about the necessary second entrance, off
Hwy. 51.
New road construction
at Hwy. 51 and Deer Point
Road, which becomes
Roby Road and leads into
the development, is needed second entrance. Its
expected that a traffic light
would be needed at Hwy.
51 and Deer Point Road,
and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation
would become involved
with that, Steinkraus said.
Steinkraus told the Hub
afterward that FDG has
drastically cut the number
of homes in response to
city and public requests.
When FDG first presented
Phase 2, KPW had 494
proposed residential units.
Its now down to 430.
Its always a compromise, Steinkraus said.
Were trying to get everybody as happy as they can
be and thats always the
challenge. What theyre
asking for is reasonable,
but its tough to lose unit
count.
Ald. Scott Truehl, a
member of the commission, pushed the idea of
moving four duplexes and
allowing more access to
the park, which would fit a
full soccer field and three
junior soccer fields,
as well as playground
and open space. He also
praised the project.
Whatever people felt
about the (Phase 1) WalMart and the commercial
side, Truehl said, I have

Council president Paul

hes not sure how the election will affect the councils
position on KPW.

going to still be in a 6-6 tie
or if its going to go 8-4, he
said. It could just as easily

But, Lawrence said, he

plans for a second phase
could have a tough time getting through this year, just
because of whats gone on

Kittleson said he hopes the

on the preliminary plat until
he and Johnson are seated.
He thinks the approval
process has been way too

I dont think all this

she said. I dont know very

Johnson added she hopes

If I were the mayor, I

type thats difficult to treat.
Despite the setbacks, she fought on,
continuing to run her business, live an
active life and was proud to serve as
Relay chair last year. The 1970 Stoughton High School graduate taught preschool at Martin Luther Christian Day
School before retiring and opening the
business in 2000.

Letters to the editor
KPW provides affordable option

I am writing this letter in support of the new subdivision going
in at Kettle Park West.
My husband and I are the owners of Blatterman Built Homes.
We have had multiple potential
clients contact us regarding construction of a new home in the
Stoughton area. We are finding
this difficult to do, as the availability of lots to build new construction on is very scarce.
We have built multiple homes
in the past in Stoughton, including
in the sub-division off Race Track
Road, and most recently nine
homes in the West View Ridge
subdivision. We also have a
daughter, her husband, and granddaughter that reside in Stoughton.
We love building in Stoughton.
The process of applying for and
receiving the permits, inspections,
etc. is seamless and normally goes
off without a hitch. I would have
to say that building in Stoughton

is one of our favorite places to
build. The personnel in the citys
office are friendly and very helpful, including the city inspector.
He is always ready to answer any
questions or concerns that we
might have.
We support the Kettle Park
West subdivision because there
are no affordable lots to build
on in Stoughton. For Blatterman
Built Homes, a small, familyowned business, to remain an
employer, we need to be able to
find affordable single family lots
large enough to put homes on
them that buyers want.
Please consider this letter in
support of Kettle Park West subdivision.

Mandt Lodge is source of pride

On April 5, I was a guest of the
Mandt Lodge, observing the Norwegian-American cultural program for Stoughtons third graders. The most impressive fact of
this learning experience was the
outstanding behavior and enthusiasm of several hundred 8- and
9-year-olds throughout the day.
Their singing of the Norwegian
national anthem showed quite
vividly that their teachers include
the cultural roots of the Stoughton community as a part of the
curriculum.
The Mandt Lodge and its many
dedicated volunteers should be
commended, too, for this ninth
annual event, which was started as a Leadership Stoughton
project. Thankfully, the Mandt

Lodge is open to sharing the
secrets of their success so that
programs like this can be created
elsewhere in Wisconsin. It is no
wonder that Stoughtons Sons
of Norway lodge is the reigning International Lodge of the
Year and that when visiting
Stoughton, there are many things
to help remember ones Norwegian-American heritage.
Kudos to the Courier Hub, too,
for helping promote heritage and
pride in your community. TAKK

Hoping for support and

understanding of autism
y 3-year-old boy had

just opened the window
of his bedroom and
climbed out of his crib to stare at
the night sky. His little shadow
in the window, standing on the
ledge, will forever be imprinted
in my memory.
Careful not
to startle him,
I helped him
down and
back into bed.
Immediately,
my husband
and I nailed
chicken wire
over the winFriedrich
dow, and the
next day we
installed an alarm, as locks were
by no means a challenge for this
guy.
This was Wyatt. Panic-inducing behavior like this was not at
all unusual for him.
For instance, the following
week, he ate a lightbulb. Just
ate it. A few days later, I was
changing our baby, only to find
Wyatt had unlocked the back
door and walked out, leaving me
to run around outside frantically
screaming his name until I found
him down the block, again staring at the sky.
We didnt know why he did
these things, why he didnt speak
yet and spent a lot of time in
his own world, not until he was
diagnosed with autism.
Wyatt takes far more time,
effort, patience and understanding than his siblings not to
mention more physical and
emotional strength. There have
been many times that I despised
autism, what it has done to my
son and the chaos it has caused
my family. However, I have
come to embrace aspects of what
autism has actually given my
family and I have found the
rewards to be immeasurable.
Raising him is not a burden
its more like an honor. But it
requires understanding, and lots
of it.
Thats why I find it so
important that April is Autism
Awareness Month. Most of us,
if we dont know a family who
is affected by autism, at least
encounter them at the grocery
store or a restaurant, and its
my hope that awareness can
help you to see that person with

understanding and compassion
rather than judgment.
When Wyatt was diagnosed
with Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise
Specified (PDD-NOS) and some
accompanying developmental
disorders, I was lost, had no idea
where to start or whom to talk
to. There were roadblocks, lots
of red tape and conflicting information.
Hes 9 now bigger, stronger and louder. These years
have taught us to respect a very
important autism parent rule: the
constant focus on prevention,
management and/or recovery
from the fight or flight meltdown.
Recently, Wyatt had one of
these epic meltdowns in the grocery store. As usual, it was disturbing, heartbreaking and really
loud. People stared, backed away
or simply expressed annoyance
that we were in front of the
beans they wanted.
What weve learned about
these incidents is theyre a physiological response to stress from
being hypersensitive to the kind
of stimuli most of us wouldnt
notice. And stopping an active
meltdown is almost impossible if
we dont know what caused it.
In this case, he was already on
sensory overload from being at
the store, and having his brother
simply touch the cart immediately set him off.
Afterward, theres typically
exhaustion and the need for isolation, something to cover his
head, and complete quiet. After
a few hours he will essentially
reset, as though nothing happened, sometimes with very little
memory of the event. Then hes
back to his happy, inquisitive,
hysterical self.
And thats the better side of
autism. Wyatt is funny, interesting, sweet, loving, creative and
fascinatingly eccentric.
About an hour before I wrote
this, he came up to me and
announced, Mama, make sure
you never bite into a piranha, it
will get the blood everywhere,
then just walked away. About
a year ago, he wanted to be a
cherry, not for Halloween, just
for a regular day. So that day he
wore red clothes and I made him
a headband with a big stick coming out of the top.

Wyatt recently spent an entire
week in a leprechaun suit,
speaking in an Irish accent. He
loves his four chickens and is
an expert in everything Ghostbusters. In fact, he can frequently be seen hanging out with his
chickens while dressed in a Stay
Puft marshmallow man costume.
Probably the most cherished
aspect of Wyatts autism is that
he has no malice or capability of
judgment. He has the same infallible innocence at 9 that he had
at 2.
One of my clearest, fondest
memories is while I was giving
Wyatt a bath one day, he looked
up at me and said Mama, I cannot fly; my wings are wet. I
remember feeling a lump in my
throat rise and tears gathering,
because those were his first real
spoken words. And he didnt
begin to speak after that moment
for almost a year.
Today, he is still my angel
with the wet wings, inadvertently teaching all of us invaluable
lessons in life and love, while
giving his four brothers and
his sister the gift of tolerance,
understanding and acceptance
of a person with intellectual disabilities. That is what autism
gave us.
My husband, children and I
are forced to embrace autism
and hope that research can lead
to progress and someday resolve
its more difficult aspects. But
for everyone else, it is a choice.
And until then, it is my hope
that awareness of autism will
inspire others to understand and
embrace the people who live it.
So next time you see a defeated mother trying to maintain
some semblance of composure
while bear-hugging her out-ofcontrol, growling 9-year-old,
know that child is not just the
behavior he means more and
gives more to that mother than
you could ever imagine.
Stoughton resident Elizabeth
Friedrich is a stay-at-home
mother of six children ages 2-11
and a fierce advocate of autism
awareness and research.

MadFiddle is the creation
of director Shauncy Ali,
a national award-winning
fiddler who specializes in
folk music traditions from
around the world.
Ali created MadFiddle in
2012 and hooked the young
musicians up with a seasoned backing band, Highway 151, featuring Stoughton native Bruce Anderson
and multi-instrumentalists
Chris Powers and Pat
Spaay.
I started teaching at fiddle camps and thats when
it all clicked, Ali said
of the inspiration behind
establishing MadFiddle.
He said the large ensemble will perform a diverse
array of styles when it takes
the Opera House stage at 4
p.m. Sunday. The repertoire draws largely upon
the traditions of old-time,
Appalachian, Celtic, Scandinavian and bluegrass folk
tunes.
For this concert were
doing bluegrass, old-time,
Irish, Scottish, French
Canadian, Scandinavian
and contemporary fiddle
music, Ali said. Theyre
also singing.
The fiddlers represent the
communities of Madison,
Stoughton, Oregon, Mount

Plains.
Ali fosters an authentic
approach to fiddle music
by providing students with
recordings and teaching by
ear. He created the program
as a way to nurture the
alternative string scene in
and around Madison.
Ali explained that MadFiddle is divided into four
groups, and on some medleys the choreography
involves a row of performers being replaced on stage
by the next group. It can
make for a dynamic stage
spectacle, he said, and on
one song the entire group
performs as a single unit.
Theres a lot of variation and movement with
people coming on and
going off, he explained.
Students may just turn and
exit the stage and the row
behind them will step up to
the microphone. We have
a couple of pieces that are
three-tune medleys, where
groups are exiting while
the other ones behind them

are stepping to the front.

Thats something that
you see a lot of Celtic
styles.
Ali said the music for
Sundays show might have
an old-time tune lead ing directly into a French
Canadian number in a sort
of mixing of traditions.
Organizing and leading
MadFiddle is an extension
of Alis work as a private
music teacher. He said the
musicians are dedicated
and put in long hours of
practice.
Its kind of a big deal

in that for the first time
were not an opening act
and were not a part of
a multi-band bill, Ali
said. Weve played several times at the Barrymore
Theatre as part of the United Way Bluegrass Benefit,
but that always includes
lots of bands.
Theyve worked really
hard the whole year, he
added. This is a recap of
our year and all the performances have led up to this.
I think everyones really
excited.
Part of Alis motivation
in leading MadFiddle is
that the ensemble includes
his 5-year-old son. But
he also loves bringing his
experiences and diverse
background home to nurture the creativity of young
musical minds.
The things Ive
experienced while traveling to and from music festivals, touring professionally

and teaching at camps have
been inspirational beyond
words, he said. My hope
is to bring some of that
magic back home and share
it with my students. That
is one way I can make this
experience powerful.

A prophet is someone who hears the voice of God and tells others what
God is saying, with words and deeds. The prophet is frequently a social
critic, because society frequently goes against what God would have us
do. The prophet often gives very simple and straightforward directives,
like this statement from the prophet Micah: And what does the Lord
require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly
with your God. (Micah 6:8 NIV) The prophet sometimes gives more
specific directives, such as warning us about our treatment of the poor
or the widows and orphans in our midst: Religion that God our Father
accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows
in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
(James 1:27 NIV) We are all called to be prophets, in our words and in
our deeds. One of the hallmarks of the Biblical prophets was that their
words were invariably in harmony with their deeds, and their deeds were
often symbolic prophesies. We may not be a major prophet, like Isaiah
or Jeremiah, or even a minor one like Amos or Micah, but we can still
preach the good news to all we meet, without saying a word.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Show me your faith without deeds,
and I will show you my faith
by my deeds.

Stoughton steps up to address

poverty, homelessness
SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN
Small Town Poverty and Homelessness event organizers thought

they printed enough copies of the
surveys they intended to pass out
to attendees on March 31. But they
were pleasantly surprised that 40 was
not enough.
Nearly 70 people from Stoughton
and surrounding communities filled
the multipurpose room at Stoughton
High School that evening to learn
about the issues and share resources
to help those in need.
University of Wisconsin-Madison
professor and featured speaker Dr.
Leann Tigges said she was blown
away that so many people showed
up motivated to talk about poverty
and homelessness.
Thats not always the case, she
said.
The event, sponsored by Stoughton Homeless Coalition and Stoughton Public Library, featured a film
screening and discussion with Tigges
and other local agency representatives who talked about current efforts
in housing the homeless and ways
people can help.
Wisconsin Public Televisions
film, The Hidden Homeless, made
those in attendance aware of what
the invisible population is like outside of big cities where many who
are homeless sleep on the streets.
For example, the video interviewed
a young man who was living in an
abandoned school bus in a quarry,
even though you would never know
just by looking at him.
Whether homeless youths are from
urban or rural places, the video said
many share a common family past
of abuse, neglect or substance abuse.
Sadly, many who dont find it within
themselves to seek out resources and
make changes will end up as homeless adults.
Locally in Stoughton, Andrea
Dwyer with Dane County Parent
Councils Early Head Start program,
said 50 percent of the children she
serves are homeless or doubled
up in other homes with family or
friends, with over 100 families on
that list.
Its a tremendous issue, she said.
Tigges said even with government
support, those in need can greatly
benefit from volunteers and grassroots groups.
We still need social relationships, Tigges said. Dont wait for
political change.
Mayor Donna Olson said she is
proud of the organizations, including
food pantries, Dane County Human
Services and St. Vincent de Paul, for

stepping up to provide for the community.

If the need arises, Stoughton
can fill it, Olson said. Stoughton
cares. Its the people who live in this
place.
Pastor and Stoughton School
Board candidate Sara Rabe encouraged the community to come together and work collaboratively to make
a difference.
We need to educate one another
and provide awareness, Rabe said.
A nonprofit doing just that is
SToughton Area Resource Team,
Inc. (START), which has been linking residents in the Stoughton Area
Second Harvest is widely known for distributing

food to local food pantries,
but it also gives financial
assistance for food to those
in need through its FoodShare program.
FoodShare gives a person monthly deposits to
put toward food purchases,
freeing up money for bills,
medications and other
necessities.
Megan Vander Wyst,
FoodShare outreach specialist for Dane County,
said the program is looking
for households not currently utilizing its benefits.
We have found that
many of our clients are
stuck making tough decisions between paying for
food, utility bills and medical needs each month, she
said in an email to the Hub.
Eligibility is based on
income and certain expenses (not assets), so a person can own a home and
car and even have a savings account. Most people
receiving Social Security
are also eligible, even if
they have a small pension.
Vander Wyst said an
average of 48,855 people
received benefits each
month in Dane County in
2015.

Cambridge Area Resource Team
board member Shelly Fosdal said
CART modeled its own organization
after START and was recently able
to hire a part-time social worker. She
urged people not to give up when
facing the task of homelessness.
We are helping people remain in
their homes, Fosdal said. It can be
done. We are an example, and we are
thankful for START who encouraged
us.

Lost for decades,

historic chalice
returns to use
Stoughton church
uncovered its
founders relic from
1845
TOM ALESIA
Belonging to a Stoughton church since 16 years

before the Civil War began,
a sparkling silver chalice
will be used by a nearby
congregation with ties to
the religious treasure on
Sunday morning.
West Koshkonong
Lutheran Church officials
found the item last August
after it had been missing
for almost six decades.
The chalice was brought
from Norway in 1845 by
Pastor J.W.C. Dietrichson,
who founded the church as
well as East Koshkonong
Lutheran Church in Cambridge.
The latter church will
use the chalice in a special

service at 9
a.m. Sunday, where
a former
interim pastor, John Eyster, helped to
spark the chalices search.
It was found at the rear
of a locked communion
cabinet at West Koshkonong after Eyster and others made an appeal to area
churches for information
about it.
It got borrowed and,
apparently when it was
returned, someone put it
in this communion cabinet years ago, said West
Koshkonong Pastor Richard Dowling. The person
who put it away probably
didnt realize what it was,
then it got forgotten.
The chalice was made
in 1833. Eyster said Norway had a large silver mining industry at the time. It
was given to a Norwegian

bishop by the church, then

passed to Diectrichson
before coming to Stoughton.
Its in good shape,
Dowling told the Hub. We
recently had it polished up
and it looks beautiful.
The chalices financial worth has never been
sought, though its spiritual
value is most important,
Eyster said. It is kept in a
covered display at West
Koshkonong.
It plays an important
role in the history of Norwegian Lutheran church in
Wisconsin, Dowling said,
and, maybe, in America.
How did such an important chalice escape notice
from the two churches for
many years?
Dowling said church history is lost when churches
shift from pastor to pastor
over many decades.
Time passes, he said,
then no one knew where
(the chalice) was.
Dowling hopes to use the
chalice for historical services, such as one that will
celebrate the 175th anniversary of West Koshkonong and East Koshkonong
churches in 2019.

A young patron examines part of the journal wall installation at the Livsreise Norwegian Heritage Center. The Madison-based design
studio Zebradog recently received a bronze Immersive Environments award at the The Digital Signage Expo APEX Awards for its work
on the center, which will celebrate its first year anniversary in May.
Madison studio recognized

for Livsreise design
KATE NEWTON
Nearly a year after Livsreise opened in Stoughton,

the Madison-based studio
behind the centers design
still flies the Norwegian
flag in its office.
We all consider ourselves honorary Norwegians at this point, said
Chris Moore, the vice president and new media director at Zebradog.
Theyre also still being
recognized at an international level for their work
on Livsreise, Stoughtons
Norwegian heritage center.
The Digital Signage Expo
APEX Awards awarded
Zebradog with a bronze in
the Immersive Environments category last month,
recognizing it among 19
global entries alongside
competitors like Daimler
Automotive and the Microsoft Corporate Office.

The awards recognize
excellence in the development of digital interactive
experiences across a variety
of sectors, according to a
news release. This years
winners were selected from
a field of 153 entrants from
11 countries by a jury of 13
industry experts and journalists that select the projects based on their originality and innovation.
Moore, who referred to
Livsreise as the epicenter of the citys cultural
identity, credited the Bryant Foundation for having a
clear vision for the center
when they started working
together about three years
ago.
(Bryant Foundation
trustee Jerry Gryttenholm)
would always say, Were
just going to do it right. He
UB&T has special mortgage programs for new

home buyers, veterans, rural homeowners, farmers
and low income buyers. You might even qualify
for a loan with as little as 3% down.
would really follow that,

Moore said. And there
were a lot of challenges in
this facility that were major
hurdles to overcome, and
he was willing to put in
the time and the energy
because that was the right
answer.
Taking the time to find
that best approach played
a strong role in one of the
centers most prominent
installations: the journey
wall and map. The wall
features the experiences of
the Norwegian that came to
settle in America around the
turn of the century, compiling them into an interactive,
choose your own adventure format.
Zebradog did extensive
research to assemble those
experiences, both through
in-person interviews and
gathering artifacts and other
items to tell the story in a
more tangible way.
Its always great when
you go through a project and you feel like what
you have put in place, that
it feels right and its the
right solution, Moore said.
Overwhelmingly at Livsreise, everything is exactly
where it should be. (The
award) helps validate it
for us that other people
think its compelling and
feel the same way.
The journal wall is the

largest array of this particular display technology in
the country, Moore added,
and it anchored the design
scheme of the center as a
compelling visual even at
the conceptual stage.
Using technology to add
a layer to the experience
rather than act as the focal
point was also an important goal for Zebradog,
which has worked with clients including the Green
Bay Packers, the Wisconsin
Institutes for Discovery and
Northwestern University.
Moore said that by using
digital displays to give
people a deeper experience
or provide more context to
real stories and artifacts, the
center is able to truly honor
the people it represents.
If we didnt talk to this
person, if we didnt record
this story, it might be
gone, Moore said. Stories
disappear, and its important to capture those and
celebrate them when you
can.

Stoughtons Maddie Posick (left) and Oregons Brittyn Fleming helped lead the U16 AAA Madison Capitols to the USA Hockey National tournament for
the third straight year. The Capitols clinched their fourth straight state title March 5-6, defeating Team Wisconsin. The following weekend in Omaha,
Neb., the Capitols beat St Louis 5-2 and shut out the Chicago Mission 3-0. Posick, a junior at Stoughton High School, has committed to play hockey at
the University of Wisconsin. Fleming, a junior at Oregon High School, has committed to play hockey at Minnesota State-Mankato.
National hat trick

JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Stoughton High School

junior Maddie Posick verbally
committed to play for the UWMadison womens hockey
team last fall.
Its really unbelievable. Its
always been my goal to go to
Wisconsin, she said. Ive had
ups and downs, not knowing if
I was going to make it. Thats
when you keep working and
have to push through or else
someone else is going to take
your spot.
Just thinking about it makes
me giggly. I cannot wait. Im
really going to like it there. I
just feel it already.

Wisconsin wasnt the only
offer on the table, drawing
attention from Minnesota
State-Mankato, Brown, Yale,
Princeton, Union and Minnesota-Duluth. It was Mankato that
made an offer.
I definitely considered it,
Posick said. When I went to
visit they made an offer. My
best friend is there, and with
John Harrington as the head
coach the team is only going to
get better.
Once Wisconsin made their
pitch, though, Posick said, I
could not give up the opportunity.
Though how she ended up
giving her commitment it was

kind of a funny story.
Visiting UW for a game last
October against Ohio State,
afterward Posick was taken up
to the coaches office where
assistant coach Dan Koch
made her an offer the majority of D1 hockey players dont
receive full rides because there
are 24-26 roster spots and only
18 full scholarships available.
They generally divide the money between all the athletes.
At first I said, Thank you
for the offer. I walked out of
the office and my dad asked,
Dont you want to go here?
I said yeah and he said, Well
you have to go back and tell
them. I walked back in and

was kind of crying I was so
emotional and I said, Id really
like to play on your team.
The 16-year-old followed up
her commitment by helping the
U16 AAA Madison Capitals
back to a third-straight USA
Hockey Girls Tier I National
Championships where her team
finished a club-best at the tournament held March 31-April 4.
Unable to get out of pool
play the last two years, the
Capitols went 2-1 in pool play
and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 16-team tournament

Stoughton boys tennis team
got underway Tuesday night
as the Vikings hosted Sauk
Prairie in a Badger Conference crossover dual.
Though the Vikings
dropped the match 7-0
against the Eagles, Stoughton
head coach Ryan Reischel
said he has seen plenty of
improvements already this
season.
We had a scrimmage
against Madison La Follette
on Monday and I thought we
played pretty well, Reischel
said. Were a raw team
tennis-wise. We havent had
much time to work on strategy and on the doubles side
we are a work in progress.
Freshman Nolan Meyer,
playing at No. 3 singles drew
praise from Reischel for his
play Tuesday.
Nolan is a nice young
man, who is very coachable.
He lost 6-2, 6-2, but I thought
he played very well tonight.
The Stoughton softball team (4-1 overall,

3-0 Badger South) traveled to Cottage Grove to
take on Monona Grove Tuesday and won 10-0.
Senior Holly Brickson worked six innings in
the blowout, striking out 11 and walking three.
She allowed three walks.
Morgan Neuenfeld (2-for-4), Liz Auby
(2-for-4) and Maddy Brickson all drove in a
pair of runs. Holly Brickson (2-for-2), Madisyn
Robinson (3-for-4) and Lexie Fitzsimmons all
plated a run.
Woodside High School Challenge

Stoughton No. 1 doubles player Connor Merow congratulates his

Sauk Prairie opponent Tuesday. The Vikings lost the dual 7-0.
Captain Stefan Butterbrodt lost 6-0, 6-0 at No. 1

singles, but Reischel said his
top player wants to get better
everyday.
Stefans done a really nice
job leading the team so far
this season as well, Reischel
said.
Levi Robbins fell 6-1, 6-0
at No. 2 singles.
Levi has a lot of skill. We
just need to keep fine tuning
it. I think if we do that he will

only get better.
Adam McCune played
probably the closest match of
the evening, falling 6-4, 6-3
at No. 4 singles.
I think Adams strokes
have improved more than
anyone so far this season,
Reischel said.
The Vikings travel to
Reedsburg at 4:30 p.m.
Thursday.

Posick: Verbally commits to be a Badger

this season.
The second seed in their bracket, the girls
eventually finished 2-2 overall, falling to
the Minnesota Elite Sky 4-3 in overtime of
Sundays quarterfinals.
Posick finished second in scoring for the
tournament to teammate Brittyn Fleming.
It was a great thing to accomplish, but
doing it with your best friend is even better, she said.
Posick began playing hockey in first
grade and quickly became friends with
Fleming daughter of longtime SHS boys
hockey coach Rick Fleming.
The two have been best friends and skated together ever since, minus a couple of
years when Fleming skated with the Capitols boys team.
My coaches always have always
stressed that your team is your family,
Posick said. She (Brittyn) has always been
there for me. I know I can always count on
her long past our Madison Capitol and college days.
Fleming, a junior at Oregon High School,
has verbally committed to also play in the
WCHA at Minnesota State-Mankato.
Thats going to be different (playing
against Brittyn), Posick said. One of
my friends, Taylor Gulenchyn, is also at
Minnesota State-Mankato, so weve played

together since our early years together, and
thats going to be a different feeling playing
against your best friends.
Fellow Madison Capitol and Stoughton
resident Liz Auby committed to Division
1 Colgate University last fall, joining the
likes of Jessie Vetter, Nikki Burish, Amanda Kessel and Brianna Decker as girls who
have come through the program and gone
on to play collegiately.
In 63 games from September through
April, the girls finished 35-25-3.
Though the season is officially over,
Posick tried out for the USA national development camp last weekend in Chicago.
While roughly 300 or more girls get
invites to the Central District camp, only
120 girls get invited to the development
camp and from that 66 girls get invited to
attend the Select camp, where if they perform well enough they can earn a spot on
the U.S. under 18 National team.
Ill probably take a week off cause Ive
been going, going, going since the season
started in September, she said.
The younger sister of former SHS pole
vault standout Hannah Posick, who is now

Monona Grove have some very

talented athletes and should be
very competitive at the conference
meet, Benedict said.
Halverson, Kahl and Lonnebotn return from last years 4x200

added a seventh-place finish.
The 4x800 relay with Emily
Reese, Zaemisch and Schultz took
second, while the 4x200 relay with
Maddie Posick, Gryttenholm and
Halverson was second. The 4x400
relay with Gryttenholm and Aly
Weum was fourth.
Aly Weum also added a third
place in the 400, while Gryttenholm was third in the 200. Maddie

We are very excited to have
so many athletes returning for the

said. We have a nice set of senior
athletes who have been contributors on the team being conference
champs for the past four years.
There are key losses, however,
as graduates Hannah Posick (state

We have some huge holes to fill
in the team lineup with the loss of
so many talented athletes from last
year, Benedict said.
Stoughton took seventh at sectionals last season with 81 1/2

Stoughton looks to pitching, defense

to carry conference title hopes
ANTHONY IOZZO
The Stoughton High School baseball team

brings back seven players from last years
squad including senior Michael Pork
Gerber (first base, pitcher) who missed
all of last season due to an injury but
was called up to varsity as a sophomore.
The others back are seniors Jack
Nelson (outfield), Jake Kissling (pitcher, third base), Zach Kirby (outfield,
second base) and Nathan Varese (outfield,
pitcher) and sophomores Dillon Nowicki
(pitcher, shortstop) and Brady Schipper (outfield, pitcher).
Head coach Jeremy Dunnihoo said the
Vikings will be as good as their pitching and
defense will allow them this season.
We return some quality arms but also
need some guys to step up and take on
certain roles within the staff, Dunnihoo

said. Offensively we lose a lot of power and
run production from last years team, but
will score runs in a different way. There will
be some speed and capable small ball threats
to put more pressure on the defense. Many
newcomers will be looked to produce on
the varsity team.
Two of those newcomers are senior
Nick Woodstock (middle infielder)
and sophomore Aaron Zimmerman
(catcher, pitcher). Woodstock worked
hard in the offseason to strengthen his
game, and Zimmerman is a smart baseball
player who will be working behind the plate
to lead our pitching staff, Dunnihoo said.
Nowicki is the No. 1 starter once again and
will look to continue to develop his command on the mound. He struck out 35 batPhoto by Anthony Iozzo

Stoughton looks to climb up for grabs to start season
the standings, finish strong

ANTHONY IOZZO
The Stoughton High School girls soccer team has not fared well in the Badger
South Conference the past six years (2-32-2
record) and have not won more than seven
games overall in a season since 2010.
But head coach Chelsea Kittleson in her
second year said this can be the year the
Vikings breakout as 13 letterwinners are
back and only two starters are gone
from 2015.
As a newcomer into the varsity
coaching role, I have high expectations for myself as well as these
young women. My goal is to go into
each game highly competitive and
focused on playing our game. I would
like to compete and stay above .500 within
the overall game schedule, Kittleson wrote
in a questionnaire. Our school has never
won a conference tournament and that is a
goal I feel is very obtainable this spring season. We have a lot of talent throughout the
field, and we continue to work on playing
together and communicating.
Senior Hannah Wood returns to the net as
the starting goalie, while seniors Leah Olson
and Julia Olson and sophomore Paige Halverson all return to protect the net on defense.
Stoughton also gets back midfielders
junior Augustyna Brestar, junior Rosana
Draus, junior defender Bergen Gardner,
junior defender Emma Freeman, junior
forward Jordan Nelson, sophomore Cara

Wood, sophomore Cassidy Bach, sophomore Jacqueline Smith and sophomore Ailis
Montgomery.
Newcomers include sophomore defender Mckenzie Nisius, freshman midfielder
Hannah Wirag, freshman forward Peighton
Trieloff and freshman midfielder Melissa
Browning.
Some true standouts have been our freshman and sophomore class providing a
lot of speed and technical/tactical
ability, Kittleson said.
Conference preview
The Vikings were 0-5-1 in the
Badger South last year (4-14-1
overall).
Defending WIAA Division 2 state
champion Oregon is once again the favorite
to win the crown. Oregon is 30-5-1 in the
Badger South since 2010 and has won four
straight titles.
Monona Grove, Madison Edgewood
and Fort Atkinson finished second through
fourth last season.
Stoughton travels to Oregon at 7 p.m.
Thursday, April 21, and host Fort Atkinson
at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 28. The Vikings
host Milton at 7 p.m. Monday, May 2, and
travel to Monona Grove at 7 p.m. Friday,

Stoughton boys tennis struggled through

a rough season a year ago, going
1-13 in dual meets.
With the return of four letterwinners this season, the Vikings
are hoping show improvement in
an always-competitive Badger
South Conference.
Seniors Mitchell Ace, Stefan
Butterbrodt and Levi Robbins
are all back, as is junior Connor Merow.
Ace, who finished last season 6-16 at
No. 3 doubles and Butterbrodt, 2-18 at 1
doubles, will captain this years team.
Robbins played to a 6-14 record at No. 4
singles last year, while Merow went 2-21
at No. 2 doubles.
Regardless of where those four are
moved this season, it leaves six spots up
for grabs.
We are going to grow a lot as a team

this year. We will be young and raw, but
I am very pleased with the effort and attitudes of the players, Vikings head coach
Ryan Reischel said. I think we
will be a hard working team that
surprises some teams as the year
progresses.
Key newcomers battling for
those spots will be freshman Nolan
Meyer, sophomore Graham Beebe
and junior Adam McCune
Madison Edgewood figures to once
again be the favorite to repeat as Badger
South champions, though Oregon hopes to
challenge the Crusaders once again. Monona Grove also expects to be in the mix atop
the conference.
The rest of the conference race is wide
open, Reischel said. Monroe and Fort
are really down on numbers. Milton should
have good numbers, but are still a bit
behind the top three teams.

generate runs if they wish to contend
Senior Holly Brickson (shortstop, pitcher)
and junior Morgan Neuenfeld (catcher, outfielder earned first-team Badger South AllConference last year and are back to lead the
Stoughton softball team this year.
Brickson hit .366 and tied for the
team lead with 14 stolen bases as the
teams lead-off hitter. She doubled
six times and tripled once. Brickson also pitched in eight games,
going 5-3 on the year with a 1.16
ERA. She struck out more than
three times the number of batters she
walked (76-24).
Brickson steps into the circle this season
as the teams ace following the graduation of
first-team selection Sarah Seaton (P/1B).
Seaton hit .508 on the season with 10 doubles and 14 RBIs. Her on-base percentage
was .616, while he finished second on the
team with a .662 slugging average.
Besides Seaton, who was also the teams

top power hitter, Madi Sehmer is also gone.
Sehmer was second on the team with 19
RBIs.
Neuenfeld led the team in batting average
(.536), slugging percentage (.797) and RBIs.
She tied for the team-lead in stolen bases.
An all-district selection last year, she starts
the season in center field.
Morgan has great speed and power,
which makes her a tremendous threat
at the plate, head coach Kristin
Siget said.
Seniors Sammy Tepp and Liz
Auby were second-team selections on
the right side of the infield last year.
Tepp, two-year captain, played at first
base and in the outfield last year, giving the
team consistency and quickness and great
leadership on and off the field. She hit .325
and drove in 11 runs.

Hurricane Junior Golf Tour based out
of Jacksonville, Fla.
While Anderson was the lone sectional qualifier for the Vikings in
2015 taking 10th with a 76 and
missing the state cut by two strokes
Stoughton still has plenty of talent
back from 2015.
Seniors Ian Sutton, Jack Buckles, Drew Bellefeuille, Austin Kotlowski and Gunnar Goetz and
junior David Graffin all have
experience on varsity from last

Buckles, Kotlowski, Sutton
and Graffin joined Anderson at

Vikings take sixth as a team
with a 348.
That grouping also
joined Anderson at the
conference meet at the
House on the Rock Golf Resort last season, with Buckles, Kotlowski and Sutton all shooting under 90.
Stoughton finished fourth at conference with a 334.
Conference preview
Badger South is going to be tough again

this season. Madison Edgewood the
WIAA Division 2 state runner-up
is once again the favorite. The Crusaders return all five starters from
2015 seniors Tommy Mohs and
Andrew Yontz, junior Ben Gilles and
sophomores Rory Gierhart and Matthew Phelan.
Four of those starters Mohs, Yontz,
Gilles and Phelan shot in the 70s at
the state tournament, while Gierhart
shot in the mid-to-low 80s in both
rounds.
Taebel also said Monroe is a team
to watch this season. The Cheesemakers lose graduates Matt Miller and Eric
Bush, but they do return senior Tanner
Thompson and juniors Nick Baumann
and Devon Boeck. Baumann missed
the state cut at sectionals by a stroke,
and the Cheesmakers tied for fourth as
a team with a 339. At conference last
year, Monroe finished fifth with a 341.

This conference has a lot of
sprinters and distance athletes,
those will be exciting races to
watch at the conference meet,

Humor: UMC Pastor Dawn Jeffers Ramstad has brought a new tradition to Stoughton
a passage about Jesus
instructing Peter while he
fished.
Most of the 50 or so congregation members joined
in the spirited service. Liturgist Cindi Ritter asked
the choir, Whats the most
musical part of a fish? The
choir members responded
in unison: The scales.
During parts of the service, congregation members either told jokes at
the altar or from the pews.
Peggy Sharpe of Stoughton
delivered two one-liners,
including this one: The
disciples asked Jesus, How
do you communicate with
fish? Jesus replied, Drop
them a line.
Even the services bulletin was filled with grininducing jokes.
And Ramstad joked about

typically mild-mannered
congregants.
How can you tell a United Methodist? Ramstad
asked. They sit while singing Stand Up, Stand Up for
Jesus.
Sharpe enjoyed the service. It was a great way to
celebrate, she said, and
honor the joy of the Holy
Spirit at Easter.
As liturgist, Ritter read
several jokes.
Knock, knock, she
said.
Whos there?
Fish, Ritter said.
Fish who? the congregation said quickly.
Bless you.
There were groans and a
few snickers at the corny
sneeze joke.
Ritter smiled. It took me
awhile to get it, too.
