Split council OKs TIF project planAnalysis will explore economic feasibility, paid by developerBill livickUnified Newspaper Group

The Common Council took another step forward last week in making the proposed Kettle Park West (KPW) development a real-ity.

In what’s become a familiar pattern, a divided council vot-ed 7-5 to authorize the city to

prepare a tax-increment finance (TIF) project plan for the Wal-Mart-anchored commercial devel-opment on the city’s west side.

The project plan will determine the boundaries of a future TIF district and analyze its economic feasibility.

It will be prepared by Spring-sted Incorporated and include an analysis of the city’s ability to

repay future debt service using tax increment revenues and to recover any proposed development incen-tives. Springsted will also evalu-ate various forms of development assistance incentives and identify the financial risk to the city under different TIF options.

Alders who supported going ahead with the project plan said it would give the council more

information when it comes to deciding whether to create a new TIF district for KPW. Opponents argued that they hadn’t gotten enough information from an eco-nomic impact analysis to autho-rize developing the project plan.

“If this passes tonight,” warned council president Mike Engel-berger, “it pretty much sets it in motion that a TIF district is going to be created. The [impact analy-sis] study was inconclusive and

full of holes.”Despite Engelberger’s plea and

a failed attempt by opponents to postpone action, seven alders voted to develop the project plan: Eric Hohol, Paul Lawrence, Tri-cia Suess, Sonny Swangstu, Ron Christianson, Greg Jenson and Pat O’Connor.

off the school’s water fountains and will provide bottled water to students, staff and guests until fur-ther notice.

District communica-tions director Derek Spell-man sent an email Tues-day afternoon to River Bluff parents about the water situation. He wrote that earlier this month, the district received a letter from Stoughton Utilities stating that water tests in various parts of the city showed levels of lead above the public health standard of 15 parts per billion. In response, the district had voluntary fol-low-up water tests done at all facilities, and received the results of those on Tuesday, showing River Bluff was slightly above that level, at 16 parts per billion.

District officials decid-ed to turn off the drink-ing fountains immediately and provide bottled water for students and staff until further notice, including sports events the school hosts.

“While some would suggest that our response was a conservative one given we only have one test result, we want to make sure we take the

most cautious approach with anything regarding the safety of our students,” he wrote.

The district is now ask-ing for more testing to see if lead levels in the drink-ing water at the school are higher than they should be. Breakfast and lunch on Wednesday will consist of items prepared in another building, but due to the short time district offi-cials had to “navigate this change,” the only lunch offering will be a sack lunch in the hot lunch line.

“We are working to come up with an alterna-tive water source in the kitchen so we can resume our normal food service operations as soon as pos-sible,” Spellman wrote. “We will send out addi-tional communications about any changes to our menus as needed.”

If more testing indi-cates an issue with River Bluff’s water, district officials will work with Stoughton Utilities to iso-late and address the con-cern to ensure quality, safe water is available at River Bluff. Spellman said the district will continue to update parents and resi-dents as more information becomes available.

McGuire plea hearing slated for Oct. 9Alleged drunk driver killed Stoughton boy in car crash Scott DE lAruEllEUnified Newspaper Group

As the terrible anniver-sary of the car crash that took the life of 10-year-old Michael Iverson approach-es, the man accused of driving drunk and causing the accident is due in court next week on a plea hear-ing.

Trevor J. McGuire, 22, of Monroe, is set for a plea hearing in a Green County courtroom at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. Oct. 9 to seven fe lony charges : homi-cide by intoxicated use of

vehicle, first degree reck-less homi-cide, injury b y i n t o x i -cated use of vehicle, first degree reck-less injury, first degree r e c k l e s s l y endangering safety, homi-cide by use of a vehicle with PAC (prohibited alco-hol concentration) and inju-ry by use of vehicle with PAC. In February, he pled not guilty to all charges.

This is not the first time McGuire has been in trou-ble with the law for driv-ing after having consumed a lcoho l . Accord ing to online court records, just a few months before the fatal

accident involving Iverson, in April 2013, McGuire pled no contest and was found guilty of operating left of center line and vio-lating the absolute sobriety law stemming from a Jan. 9, 2013 arrest. Charges of refusing to take a test for intoxication after arrest and operating a motor vehicle without proof of insurance were dismissed on a pros-ecutor’s motion.

A ca l l to the Green County District Attorney’s office about a possible plea deal in the Iverson case was not returned Tuesday.

Tragic dayMichael Iverson, then

a fifth-grader a Kegonsa Elementary School, was on his way home from a

v o l l e y b a l l tournament with two sib-lings in a car driven by his father, Mat-thew, when M c G u i r e ’ s v e h i c l e c r o s s e d the center-line and side-swiped their vehicle at the intersection of Hwy. 59 and Broughton Road.

Michael Iverson was killed in the crash, his 13-year-old and 7-year-old siblings sustained minor injuries, and Matthew Iver-son was taken to UW Hos-pital via Med Flight with life-threatening injuries.

Crime briefs

Drug use leads to repeat arrestA Stoughton man could face a jury

trial later this month following a drug-related arrest in July.

Lonye D. Howell, 23, was arrested for heroin use at the Laundry Basket in Stoughton, according to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Cir-cuit Court.

According to the complaint: When asked by police if he had been using drugs, Howell told police, “Umm, no.” Officers observed needle marks in both arms and was “unsteady on his feet, had constricted pupils glassy eyes and appeared to be dazed and confused when asked questions.”

Howell was taken to the hospi-tal and a blood draw was eventually taken with a search warrant. Police found drug remnants and parapherna-lia in Howell’s possession, as well.

Howell previously pleaded guilty to a felony drug possession charge on May 19, 2014.

A status conference is set for Oct. 6 with a possible jury trial Oct. 21.

Madison man faces 6th OWI after Stoughton arrest

A 43-year-old Madison man faces a felony charge for his sixth OWI this summer in Stoughton.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court, Christopher C. Oleson was spot-ted stumbling to his vehicle July 12 outside BBG’s. A police officer responded and found the car in the Culver’s parking lot.

Oleson failed several field sobriety tests, the complaint states.

Online court records show Oleson was last convicted of OWI in Febru-ary 2014, when he was sentenced to three years probation.

A final pre-trial conference is set for Nov. 13, online court records show.

Jury trial slated for battery A Stoughton man could head to

a jury trial next month following a domestic dispute in mid-August.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court, Lucas M. Campion, 38, was arrested for felony battery following a domes-tic dispute. Campion allegedly struck a woman in the face with a closed fist during an argument. As she left the house, Campion allegedly told the woman that he did not hit her.

Police found the woman at Stough-ton Hospital with a bloody lip and loose tooth, the complaint reads.

A jury trial is slated for Nov. 25,

online court records show. A status conference is also set for Nov. 17.

Overdose leads to heroin possession charge

A Stoughton man faces a felony drug possession charge after over-dosing earlier this year, online court records show.

Joshua E. Parisi, 34, was charged with felony drug possession in late August following an arrest after he overdosed on heroin in May, a crimi-nal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court shows.

According to the complaint, Parisi and another woman purchased heroin in Madison on May 30. After shoot-ing up the drug, Parisi “slumped over and appeared to be having difficulty breathing,” the woman told police. The woman performed CPR until police and EMS arrived.

Parisi agreed to a blood draw to test for the drug and told police he had made a mistake. He was released last month on a $500 signature. A Nov. 13 status conference is set, online court records show.

Concussion management key to successful recoverySeptember brings us the start

of school and the beginning of another season of fall

sports like football, lacrosse, soc-cer and volleyball.

Along with the excitement for games and the rush of a big win comes a very big risk for youth athletes: concussions.

Concussion prevention is key when it comes to keeping student athletes healthy and in the game. The No. 1 pre-vention tool for concussions is teaching athletes safe playing tech-niques. Athletes should never lead with their head in colli-sion or contact sports. Make sure young ath-letes are taught the safety rules of the sport and coaches enforce the rules.

Helmets should always be in good condition and worn properly. This rule of thumb applies to all riding and contact sports. While helmets can reduce the risk of skull fractures and brain injury, no helmet is “concussion-proof.” Even with a helmet, athletes should avoid direct hits to the head.

Even with safety and prevention measures, concussions happen. If there is even a suspicion of a potential head injury, you should take action.

Anytime an athlete feels he/she or even a teammate may have had a hit to the head or is showing signs of concussion, it is impor-tant to let their coach, athletic trainer or parent aware. Symptoms include:

• Headache• Nausea or vomiting• Balance problems or dizziness• Double or blurry vision• Sensitivity to light or noise• Feels sluggish, hazy, foggy or

groggy• Has concentration or memory

problems• Confused• Does not “feel right” or is

“feeling down”Once a head injury is identified,

it is vital that the athlete follows these care recommendations, par-ticularly in the first few days after the injury:

Students need to: • Get lots of rest in a stimulus

free environment (dark, quiet room). Go to bed early and sleep late as needed.

• Take daytime naps or rest breaks when you are tired or when you have an onset or increase of symptoms.

• Have no physical activity, including sports practices and games, weight lifting, PE classes, running, biking, skateboarding, etc.

• Limit cognitive activity includ-ing homework, school attendance, reading or computer work. Any activity that involves a lot of thinking and concentration should be limited as you recover, particu-larly if the activity aggravates the athlete’s symptoms.

• Drink lots of fluids and eat car-bohydrates and protein to maintain blood sugar levels.

• Avoid computer screens: no texting, no video games, no com-puter work, no TV, no movies, no reading, no iPod, no Facebook and no email.

During recovery, it is perfectly normal for the athlete to feel frustrated and sad when they are not feeling right and cannot be as active as normal.

As symptoms start to decrease, you can start discussing a gradual return to learning with your child’s teachers. It’s important to note that if any of your child’s concus-sion symptoms – like headaches – return, you should scale back cognitive activities and help your child rest until the symptoms improve.

Because a concussion is a brain injury, this return to the classroom and other cognitive activity should be gradual. The following stages are recommended for recovery and returning to the classroom:

• Stage 1: Complete mental rest: No school, computers or other mentally engaging activities like computer work.

• Stage 2: Reintroduction to mental activity: Start small and focus on gradual increases. You can relax previous restrictions on activities like watching television or using a computer for very short amounts of time, say 5-15 minutes at one time. If symptoms return, resume complete mental rest.

• Stage 3: Introduce mentally engaging activities: Your child can begin to work on larger and

more demanding homework assignments. If symptoms return, decrease activity.

• Stage 4: Return to school: Your child can start back to school on a part-time basis once they are able to tolerate one to two cumula-tive hours of homework at a time. Special accommodations should be made for your child so that recovery is not hampered by doing too much too soon.

• Stage 5: Increase to a full day of school: Continue to increase the mental workload as your child’s brain heals from the concussion. Special accommodations should remain in place as your student returns to a full day of school work.

• Stage 6: No restrictions: Once the brain has fully healed, your child can resume a full cognitive workload.

Now that your young athlete has recovered enough to return to school fully, they can return to the practice field and gradually return to their full playing schedule. Even though most concussions (80-90 percent) resolve in seven to 10 days, it is important for athletes to stay out of both practices and games until they are completely symptom-free.

Once symptoms subside and your child is ready to get back into the game, their return to the sport should be gradual and done in a step-by-step manner in order to not overburden the brain as it con-tinues to heal. This includes limit-ing practice time, building up to full practices and remaining out of full contact games until the brain is fully healed.

This step in recovery, referred to as “Return to Play” is important to take gradually to avoid re-injury and issues like life-threatening Second Impact Syndrome.

Second Impact Syndrome hap-pens when the brain is not fully recovered from a previous head injury and sustains a second injury.

The road to concussion recovery can feel like a long journey, but in the end is worth it. For more information on the treatment of concussions, check out the Dean Foundation’s new program online at beheadsmart.org.

Letters to the editor

City needs KPW development to attract more families to the area

I read the weekly letters that “bad-mouth” the proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter development, and I wonder how these negative attitudes are attractive to people and businesses that consider mov-ing here.

Stoughton has a nice down-town, a good school system and fine facilities for healthcare. But in the 12 years we have lived here, Stoughton has basically stagnated. Population is decreasing when surrounding communities are growing; the number of students is going down; the city itself has had no new housing developments with single-family homes afford-able for young families with chil-dren (one year recently there was

one new single-family home built in the whole city).

Other cities that surround Madi-son present a more active and attractive image, and that is where the people and businesses new to the area go.

I commend the mayor, the city administration, and the majority of the City Council for wanting and working for Stoughton to be a going, progressive, attractive, and growing city. They seem to be looking for many opportunities to make that happen. Keep going!

Former First Lady comes to life Oct. 25Eleanor Roosevelt to be portrayed at West Koshkonong

It has been nearly 70 years since Eleanor Roo-sevelt occupied the White House, but she will come to life in Stoughton later this month. Racine resident Jessica Michna will portray the former First Lady at West Koshkonong Lutheran Church on Oct. 25.

Michna will share with the audience the tragedies and triumphs of Roosevelt, growing from a shy child to a confident, driven woman who emerges as a champion of civil rights, author and stateswoman. Harry S. Tru-man called her “The First

Lady of the World.”Michna, who lives in

Racine, is originally from Pennsylvania where she developed a love of Ameri-can history early in life by visiting many Revolution-ary and Civil War sites.

Her interest in history and theatre gave rise to her busi-ness, “First Impressions.” Michna has become known for her portrayals of First Ladies and other historic women as well as fictitious characters. Some of the ladies she portrays include Mary Todd Lincoln, Abigail Adams, Dolley Madison and

Helen Keller.She has en t e r t a ined

groups throughout America, including guests from as far away as New Zealand, Japan and Brazil. Her compelling performances help the audi-ence feel like they are reliv-ing that time in history.

The Mary-Rebecca Circle invites guests to enjoy des-sert at 1:30 p.m. The one-hour program will begin at 2 p.m. Free-will donations will be accepted.

Reservations are needed and can be made by con-tacting the church by Fri-day, Oct. 17.

‘Rumors’ starting at Stoughton Village Players Theater Oct. 9

Word travels fast and out-landish lies build on top of each other during the latest production by the Stough-ton Village Players.

A host of r id iculous goings-on come to the stage during the wildly untruth-ful world of Neil Simon’s “Rumors.”

The show runs Oct. 9-11 and Oct. 16-18 with shows at 7:30 p.m. at the Stough-ton Village Players Theater.

Four couples are com-ing to a New York home to celebrate a 10th anniver-sary when shots ring out. Attempts to keep the inci-dent hushed up prove dif-ficult as each new arrival is greeted with an escalating round of questionable infor-mation. Ken (Dan Prue-her) and Chris (Stephanie Robey) start out the show at a frantic pace and the com-edy ball keeps rolling faster and faster as the lies build.

Excitable Lenny (Patrick Fernan) and cynical Claire (Angy Gagliano) enter with comically tragic news of their own but they quickly need to deal with analyst Ernie (Tim McNurlen) and naïve Cookie (Georgean Pentel-Nicholson). As the

fourth couple enters (Bryan Wenc, Jean Gohlke), we learn that names are simi-lar and confusing, lots of people have the same doc-tor and the gunshot is only part of what needs to be resolved.

Just when the plot starts spinning out of control, cops (Kathy Horton, Tracy Markle) enter and the four couples’ attempts at expla-nation take the story to a whole new level. It is a show filled with physical comedy (doors slamming, people falling, characters crawling on the floor) and the snappy dialogue you’ve

come to know from Neil Simon’s other plays such as “The Odd Couple.”

Patrick Fernan is the director of “Rumors” and has been involved in many SVP productions. The set, which has many doors to slam and stairs to run up and down, has been designed and constructed

by Jeff Horton. A u d i e n c e m e m b e r s

should be aware that the content is about adult situ-ations and contains some adult language.

Thursday tickets are $10 with Friday/Saturday shows at $12, available at McG-lynn Pharmacy and Stough tonVillagePlayers.org.

Move to Amend to hold forum Oct. 7BIll lIvICkUnified Newspaper Group

Stough ton Move to Amend will hold a com-munity forum next week to educate people about a referendum question that will be on the November election ballot.

Organizers Linda Muller and Tami Vieth launched a campaign last spring to have the referendum placed on the ballot. With the help of other volun-teers, they gathered 980 signatures of city resi-dents, enough to have the referendum appear on the ballot.

Stoughton voters will be asked in November if they support an effort to amend the U.S. Constitution and overturn a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that essential-ly gave corporations the same rights as citizens.

The community forum, 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7, at the library will feature Rick Brunton, from Janesville, a supporter of the amend-ment and the Move to Amend campaign. He will talk about the problems of corporate personhood

(treating corporations the same as people), unlimited political contributions and spending, the amendment proposed in the referendum and the history of how the U.S. got to the current situ-ation.

Move to Amend is a nonpartisan grassroots movement working for support and eventual rati-fication of this Constitu-tional amendment.

Muller said the amend-ment is “vital in reclaim-ing our democracy.”

“Sixteen states already support this amendment, and we are hoping to have Wisconsin join them,” she said.

Reverence ThyselfFrom ancient times it has been noticed that morality is part of our nature. We cannot help but feel the pangs of con-science when we have sinned and the

rewards of self-approval when we have acted justly or charitably. It is not just that

we have a conscience, but also that we have the ability to make moral decisions. We are a law unto ourselves. Part of what

it means to be moral is that we must decide for ourselves how to act and must

take the responsibility for acting. Our conscience, which is our internal sense of right and wrong, is almost always a

perfect guide to what we should say and do, if only we have the presence of mind to listen to what we are telling ourselves. Of course it is possible to override our conscience and sin, or to corrupt our

conscience by convincing ourselves that sin and vice are not really sin and vice.

But, we will pay for it when we refuse to listen to our conscience. The pangs of

conscience are impossible to silence, and at some point we must realize that fol-lowing our conscience is the easier and

better path. So, we should reverence our-selves by heeding our conscience.

–Christopher Simon “For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires,

they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that

the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts

accuse or even excuse them.”Romans 2:14-15

‘A Tribute to Elvis’ show is Oct. 11Friends of the library to hold rockin’ fundraiser

The F r i ends o f t he Stoughton Public Library will present “A Tribute to Elvis” featuring Tony Rocker, an award-winning Elvis tribute artist from Milwaukee. The event will be held at Viking Lanes on Saturday, Oct. 11.

The Friends Fall Fund-raiser 2014 event for the library will feature a dinner and show with a compli-mentary cocktail and door prizes.

The event was formerly known as the Autumn Gala, but has been revamped to add new twists to the pro-gram while still celebrating the library and raising mon-ey for its programs.

Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. for social hour and purchasing raffle tickets and dinner will be served at

5:30 p.m.Tickets are available

in advance for $30 at the library and Viking Lanes. They will be $35 at the door.

Proceeds will benefit pro-gramming at the library. The library staff relies on the money raised by various Friends events to supple-ment the library budget.

Without these funds the

children’s Summer Read-ing Program would not be able to afford some of the presenters for programs or purchase supplies. Funds are also used for replacing worn out or lost copies of classic books and adding titles to the magazine col-lection.

Turnovers sink Vikings’ homecoming against Milton Red HawksJeremy JonesSports editor

Stoughton fumbled the ball away on two of its first three pos-sessions Friday evening en route to a 14-0 loss against Milton.

Milton senior Howie Greene cut short the Vikings’ enthusi-asm on homecoming, recovering a fumbled punt on the Vikings’ 20-yard line and scoring one play later.

Stoughton’s defense didn’t sur-render another touchdown until 59 seconds in the third quarter when Tyler Westrick hit Colin Weberphol on a 64-yard TD pass.

That was more than enough offense for the Red Hawks, who

only allowed Stoughton to cross midfield three times.

The Vikings punted the ball eight times and turned over the ball on downs twice.

Stoughton, which closes out the season against conference opponents Oregon (3-1), Monona Grove (3-0) and Madison Edge-wood (0-3), dropped to 2-4 over-all and 2-1 within the Badger South with the loss.

Oregon plays hosts to the Vikings at 7 p.m. Friday. The Panthers are averaging 222 yards per game on the ground led by running backs B.J. Buckner (553 yards, 4 TDs) and Matt Yates (367, 6 TDs).

Vikes finish seventh at MidwestJeremy JonesSports editor

Senior Nikki Staffen led the Stoughton girls cross country team to a seventh-place finish Saturday at the 77th annual Mid-west Invitational in Janesville.

Staffen covered the 5k Black-hawk Golf Course in 23rd place with her time of 20 minutes, 8 seconds.

The Vikings went on to place all five varsity scorers in the top 70 only to fall 13 points shy of Badger South Conference rival Madison Edgewood. Stoughton finished seventh out of 30 teams with 232 points.

D o d g e v i l l e - M i n e r a l P o i n t (125) held off Middleton (132) and Madison West (133) for top honors behind the runner-up fin-ish of Hannah Owens. Crusad-ers standout Amy Davis took top individual honors in 17:53.

The Vikings next three runners all crossed the finish line within 14 seconds led by sophomore Aly Weum in 20:44 – good for 42nd place.

Golf sectionals set for Tuesday

The Stoughton High School girls golf team played regionals at Foxboro Golf Club on Wednesday, but results could not make the Courier Hub’s Tuesday deadline.

Sectionals are at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7, at Pleasant View Golf Course. First-ranked Verona and second-ranked Middleton are expected to make it through regionals to make it tough for any team to make state, but seniors Ashli Stolen, Kailey Taebel and Tayler Wise look to be in the mix for individual spots.

Sophomore Kailey Taebel and Sam Zweck will also be at sectionals if the Panthers can make it through region-als as a team.

no. 3 doubles team of Aide, robson win first conference title for stoughton since 1994Jeremy JonesSports editor

Junior Carrie Aide and sophomore Marissa Robson lived up to their billing as the top-seeded No. 3 doubles team at last week’s Badger South Conference tennis tournament.

Aide and Robson cruised through the first two rounds, dropping a mere seven games in four sets before going on to do something no Viking had done in the past 20 years.

They went on to defeat second-seeded Cath-erine Smith and Sarah Peterson of Madison Edgewood 6-3, 6-4 to Stoughton its first champi-onship since eventual state champion Jana Hrdi-nova won at No. 1 singles in 1994.

“Carrie and Marissa have been outstanding all season,” Vikings head coach Ryan Reischel said. “Carrie is as athletic and aggressive as you could ask for and Marissa’s ground strokes are so con-sistent, they are as good a No. 3 doubles team as you could ask for as a coach.”

Aide and Robson defeated Fort Atkinson 6-1, 6-2 before knocking off Baraboo 6-1, 6-3.

The finish helped Stoughton place third over-all as a team with 23 points and second within the conference.

Waunakee, which played Madison Edgewood in a dual just days before, edged the Crusaders 47-46 to repeat as champions. The Warriors won three of seven flights to claim its fifth consecu-tive Badger North title. They avenged a 4-3 dual-meet loss in the process.

Edgewood won titles at No. 1, 2 and 3 singles.Third-seeded sophomores Payton Kahl and

Kendra Halverson played their way to a runner-up finish at No. 1 doubles for Stoughton.

Halverson and Kahl advanced to the champi-onship match with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Baraboo and a 6-3, 6-6 (2-4) victory against Madison Edgewood’s Grace Seibert and Abby Fox. The Vikings’ top doubles tandem were unable to overcome top-seeded Bailey Chorney and Bob-bie Stricker of Waunakee, however, falling 6-0, 7-5.

“Payton and Kendra’s only hiccup came in their first set against Waunakee, but they have great potential, as they showed avenging their loss to Edgewood a week-and-a-half earlier,” Reischel said.

Third-seeded Sarah Benoy rolled 6-3, 6-2 over Oregon’s Leah Koopman at No. 1 singles before falling 6-3, 6-1 against second-seeded Meg Mathison of Waunakee 6-3, 6-1.

Benoy went on to finish third overall with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over fourth-seeded Hannah Shumway of Baraboo. Shumway, a left-handed player, broke her hand before the season but worked her way back into the lineup playing right handed. Last weekend was her first varsity singles action of the season.

Freshman Gi Gi Barberino defeated Reeds-burg’s Sandi Koepp 6-1, 6-4 at No. 4 singles. Barberino went on to fall 6-1 6-0 to Madison Edgewood’s Reilly Giehart 6-1, 6-2.

Holly Brickson and Sydney Johnson, seed-ed third entering conference, fell 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 against Fort Atkinson’s Evalise Yang and Megan Jordan.

Stoughton travels to Sun Prairie at 9 a.m. Saturday for a quad before opening the WIAA

Division 1 playoffs by hosting the subsectional at 9 a.m. Monday, Oct. 6.

Sectionals are slated for 8:30 a.m., Wednes-day, Oct. 8 in Burlington.

“Sun Prairie has a really nice singles line-up and Monona Grove is solid, but I think we’ll be right there,” Reischel said. “Bur-lington returns all their singles players, so they could be tough as well.”

Vikings finish 2-2-2 in Badger SouthAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

The Stoughton High School boys soccer team had a chance to finish above .500 in the Badger South Confer-ence last week, but two 1-1 ties against Fort Atkinson and at Monona Grove puts the Vikings at 2-2-2.

“It was disappointing to tie both Fort Atkinson and MG

for a lot of reasons,” head coach Dave Wermuth said. “The team did not play at the level they know they can, and right now, they are look-ing forward to regionals.”

The seeding meeting is next week.

Stoughton travels to Sun Prairie at noon Saturday, and hosts Evansville at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 6.

Stoughton 1, Fort Atk. 1The Vikings needed a late

Senior Devin Wermuth got that goal in the 67th min-ute with an assist to junior Alex Morris.

Freshman goalie Matthew Read did the rest, collecting

eight saves.Bryan Cervantes scored

for the Blackhawks in the 28th minute. Fort Atkinson goalie Caleb Basu had 13 saves.

Stoughton knocks off Fort for first winJeremy JonesSports editor

Senior distance standout Allie Niemeyer won both her individual events Tuesday and helped the Stoughton girls swimming team to victory on one relay as the host Vikings defeated Fort Atkinson 97-73.

“We were so excited to get our first con-ference win and are looking forward to fin-ishing the week off strong,” McLaury said.

Niemeyer won the 200-yard freestyle in 2 minutes, 9 seconds and later added the 500 free in 5:36.84. She then helped the Vikings close out the Badger South Con-ference win by joining Ashley Foss, Mad-die Kooima and Sophie Pitney to post a nearly 11 seconds win over the Black-hawks in 4:06.65.

McLaury and the Vikings were glad to have Averie Ness, who has been plagued with injuries, back into the lineup.

Ness didn’t waste any time in making an impact on Tuesday, joining Maddie Koo-ima, Annie Hudkins and Sophie Pitney to anchor the 200 medley relay to victory in 2:03.87.

Kooima added an individual win in the 200 IM, posting a meet-best 2:25.91, while Hudkins led a 1-2 Stoughton finish with a time of 1:20.85 in the 100 breaststroke.

The Vikings finished with 11 personal bests on the night, including two from Sandra Blackburn, Caroline Wacker and one from Alex Asleson, Colena Sankbeil, Aubrey Schleppenbach, Ness, Amanda and Niemeyer. Blackburn dropped :17 in the 500 and Asleson dropped :18 in the 200 IM.

Stoughton returns to action at 6 p.m. Thursday at home against Portage.

NOTICE IS HEREBY gIVEN that at an election to be held in the City of Stoughton, on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, the following question will be sub-mitted to a vote of the people:

Shall the City of Stoughton adopt the following resolution:

Resolved, that “We the People” of the City of Stoughton, Wisconsin, seek to reclaim democracy from the expan-sion of corporate personhood rights and the corrupting influence of unregulated political contributions and spending. We stand with the Move to Amend campaign and communities across the country to support passage of an amendment to

the United States Constitution stating:1. Only human beings – not cor-

porations, limited liability companies, unions, non-profit organizations, or similar associations and corporate enti-ties – are endowed with constitutional rights, and

2. Money is not speech, and there-fore regulating political contributions and spending is not equivalent to limit-ing political speech.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we hereby instruct our state and federal representatives to enact resolutions and legislation to advance this effort.

A copy of the entire text of the reso-lution directing the submission of the question can be obtained from the office of the City Clerk.

Mr. Totleben, age 83, died Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014, at his home in Man-teno, Ill. 

Eunice Kriedeman

Eunice B. Kriedeman, age 80, passed peaceful-ly at home on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014.  She was born in Sauk City on Nov. 29, 1933, the daughter of Milton and Esther (Hoppe) Meyer.

Eunice was a lifelong member of Christ Lutheran Church in Stoughton and member of Honey Creek Church in Sauk Prairie. She worked as a unit clerk at Skaalen Nursing and Reha-bilitation for 25 years. After retirement Eunice enjoyed working at the Stough-ton Antique Mall with her daughter, Lois. 

Most of Eunice’s fondest memories revolve around spending 40 years at her home on Lake Kegonsa entertaining family and friends.  She was an avid

Wisconsin sports fan and rarely missed watching a game. Eunice had a green thumb and took pride in her flowers.

She is survived by her daughters, Lois Alme and Connie (David) Balsamo; grandchildren, Brandon Casey, Colton Balsamo, Cassandra and Dillon Dew-ey and Big Jack, Little Jack and Sally Williford; and many relatives and friends. 

Eunice was preceded in death by her parents; hus-band, Jack Kriedeman; daughter, Lisa Dewey; son-in-law, Jerry Alme; grand-son, James Williford; and sister, Elaine Wickline. 

Funeral services were held on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2014, at Christ Lutheran Church, 700 County Hwy. B, Stoughton. Burial took place in Lutheran Cemetery South.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Agrace Hospice, to friends at Ven-nevoll, and to Pastor Scott and Pastor Paula at Christ Lutheran Church in Stough-ton.

ObituariesBarbara Catherine Skavlen

Barbara Catherine (Col-lins) Skavlen passed peace-fully into eternal rest on Monday, Sept. 29, 2014. She was born Nov. 16, 1944.

She leaves behind her son, Frank Lloyd Abela, daughter, Teresa Rix (Ska-vlen) and daughter, Leanna Marie Fenneberg (Skavlen).

She was blessed with seven grandchildren and one great granddaugh-ter. Her spirit will live on in her grandsons, James Abela, Aidan Rix, Griffin Rix, Addison Fenneberg, and Kellen Fenneberg, her granddaughters, Jessica Abela, Elizabeth Abela and great granddaughter, Ciara Craig.

Born in Madison, she spent her childhood moving across the states with her Air Force family. She even-tually settled in Wisconsin.

She had many talents and hobbies, including paint-ing, cooking and reading. Her heart was as big as her home cooked meals. She spent most of her time cooking for her friends. She had tremendous faith and complete peace in her Savior. We know that she is with him now, free from pain, her tears wiped away.

She w i l l be g r ea t l y missed and always loved.

A Life Celebration will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, 2014 at Covenant House 420 W. Lyons Street in Rio.

Smith Funeral Home (smithfhcs.com) of Rio is serving the family.

Boersma will serve until April 2015, when the seat will be up for election. He told the council prior to last Tuesday’s vote that he’s unsure whether he’ll run in April.

In responding to ques-tions posed by the coun-cil, Boersma said the most important issue facing the city is “the rift” caused by the proposed Kettle Park West development, with a Wal-Mart supercenter as its anchor tenant.

He said the “ill will” generated by the mat-ter “requires that citizens have a voice in the issue,” and he would support more public hearings.

“We haven’t successful-ly provided enough infor-mation on this topic,” he said.

Lee said the major issue facing the city is its “bud-get shortfalls.”

“The city’s current pro-posals to help solve that issue seem to be to attract more retail in the present, hoping for future property tax revenue, which is not a responsible or proven solution,” he wrote in his

application for a council seat.

Lee suggested forming a committee “to examine other communities’ suc-cess at and then explore and implement a sales tax for the city, as the city does not get direct rev-enue” from the state sales tax. He noted that Monona and Janesville have both imposed a city sales tax.

Other issues of impor-tance that Lee mentioned were the lack of public transportation in Stough-ton and the need for increased service from the city’s food pantry.

Boersma told the coun-cil has “a great love for this city and feel I can rep-resent it as an alderman.”

He has served on the Syttende Mai committee and is a Chamber of Com-merce ambassador, as well as a member of the Ameri-can Legion and Sustain-able Stoughton.

Lee said he is the owner of two small businesses that support other small businesses, and has rou-tinely kept up with issues facing the city.

sworn- in S id Boersma jo ined Enge lbe rge r in opposing the resolution.

In a presentation prior to council debate, finance director Laurie Sullivan emphasized the resolution was not about permission to create a TIF district, but asking for approval to begin working on the proj-ect plan. She explained via slide presentation how the $5.1 million TIF proposal for KPW would work.

S u l l i v a n s a i d w h e n the project plan is com-pleted in about a month, the Planning Commission would review it and make a recommendation to the council about whether to approve it and begin creat-ing a TIF district.

The plan will cost up to $8,500 to prepare and be paid by the developer – Forward Development Group.

Risks vs. rewardsAld . Pau l Lawrence

(D-2) opened the more than one-hour d i scus-sion with a series of ques-tions about the proposal to begin work on the plan. He asked about guarantees

in the development agree-ment, letters of credit pro-vided by a local bank and debt the city would take on under the agreement.

Sullivan and city attorney Matt Dregne explained that the city’s exposure amounts to about $900,000 – the sum not covered by letters of credit guaranteed by the developer. Sullivan said under a worst-case scenar-io, the city would receive about $4.5 million worth of highway and infrastruc-ture improvements for the $900,000 of risk.

Under the development agreement , the c i ty i s required to borrow the $4.5 million, with more than $2 million in interest over $17 years, and be paid back through tax increments generated by the develop-ment (or through letters of credit, if necessary).

Mayor Donna Olson asserted that the city’s use of $5.1 million in TIF assistance for the develop-ment would “act as a cata-lyst for further develop-ment, bringing more homes and families” to the city.

Ald. Tim Swadley (D-1) asked when the council would actually see the let-ters of credit.

Dregne noted that they’re required before the city bor-rows money for the project.

Alders who have been opposed to the city’s use of TIF for the development repeated concerns about why the names of two of the four “users” in the commercial center are still being withheld.

Ald. Tom Selsor (D-4) pointed to an item in the development agreement stipulating that the four lots in the first phase of the development must be pur-chased by Dec. 31, 2014, “otherwise the contract is null and void.”

He sa id the counc i l should be allowed to see in private who’s planning to build in KPW.

“I don’t see any reason why the executive commit-tee can’t see the names,” he said.

Dregne confirmed that by the end of the year, the devel-oper is required to provide documentation that each lot has been sold and is contrac-tually committed to build.

Boersma said the coun-cil could make a better

decision if it knew whom all the users were.

“That would help us weigh the sol idness of these businesses,” he said.

Getting more infoLawrence pointed out

that the decision before the council was to “move this one step forward. This is about spending the devel-oper’s money for the TIF project plan.”

H o h o l a g r e e d : “ W e should be talking about whether to move forward with the TIF plan.”

He said after Springsted reviews the plan, the coun-cil would have more infor-mation upon which to base its decisions.

“Springsted may come back and say financially this doesn’t make sense for the city,” Hohol reasoned. “We can’t debate the mer-its of the TIF until our financial consultant looks at it.”

Swadley suggested that rather than authorize the preparation of the proj-ect plan now, the council should wait and “use this to leverage the develop-er to get the information we need (the names of all users) to finish the eco-nomic analysis.” He added

the council hadn’t yet vot-ed on whether to accept the Maxfield economic analy-sis, which was presented to the council at its last meeting. He reiterated his opinion that the study was incomplete, and referred to the council’s decision in March not to move forward with further approvals until it had received an adequate impact analysis.

Mayor Olson read from minu tes o f the March meeting. The motion the counci l approved then said the council would not approve the creation of a Tax Increment District for KPW and would ask the Planning Commission not to approve the Spe-cific Implementation Plan until the council receives “an appropriate” economic impact analysis.

Olson p roposed tha t the counci l vote at i ts next meeting whether the impact analysis is “appro-priate.”

Swadley moved to table the TIF project plan, but the motion failed 7-5.

Lawrence then “called t h e q u e s t i o n ” t o e n d deba te , a mot ion tha t passed 8-4, before the council then approved the resolution.

Century farm awardJack Olson of Stoughton was recently presented with the 2014 Century Farm Award at the Wisconsin State Fair. The program honors families who have had continuous ownership of their Wisconsin farm or home for 100 years or more. On Aug. 5, event sponsor Hillshire Farm recognized 136 Century Farm and Home families. Pictured at left are Jack Olson, right, his daughter Karlie Olson, center, and his nephew Jack Anderson, left. The farm along Hwy. B was established on March 30, 1897 by Ole Klongland and was taken over by his son-in-law Odin Olson on April 6, 1927. Odin’s son Rodney Olson took over the farm on April 26, 1960, and Jack Olson, who represents the fourth generation, has had the farm since Sept. 1, 1995.

SHS senior Legion scholarship finalistThanks in part to the

service of his grandfather, James E. Tate, an active duty Army corporal during the Korean War, Stough-ton High School senior Lukas Matthews is in line for a scholarship worth up to $20,000.

Matthews was recently named as one of 97 Sam-sung American Legion Scholarship national final-ists.  He was selected by the staff of Badger Boys State, held at Ripon Col-lege in June, on the basis of academics and school and community involvement, according to a press release from the American Legion. The finalists are competing for nine scholarships, each worth an expected $20,000.

Matthews is one of the

swim team captains and is a member of the cross c o u n t r y team.  He is also act ive in Key Club a n d i s a LINK Crew leader.  Mat-

thews hopes to study social policy in college.

The Samsung American Legion Scholarship funds come from the earnings of a $5-million endowment given by Samsung as a way “to show appreciation for U.S. veterans who came to Korea’s aid during its struggle against communist forces in the Korean War,” according to the press release.
