Stoughton Area School District

Budget: worst-case scenario

Derek Spellman
Unified Newspaper Group

A revenue limit freeze proposed in Gov. Scott Walkers initial budget presents close to the worst-case scenario for the Stoughton Area School Districts financial outlook, a school

official said last week. While Walker has proposed a modest increase in school funding, he has said he would not raise the per-student revenue limit that schools face, said Erica Pickett, the districts director of business services. That could be good news for

taxpayers but bad news for districts. If enacted, it would pose kind of the worst-case scenario we had looked at when forecasting the districts financial picture after the referendum backed by voters in 2010 expires next year, Pickett told the districts finance

committee early last week. Under those projections, Stoughton would face a $5 million shortfall out of an estimated $37 million budget, beginning in the 2014-2015 fiscal year after that referendum lapses. That projection had assumed the districts trend of declining

enrollment continues and that the revenue limit the cap on the amount of money a school can receive from the state and local taxpayers without a referendum would remain unchanged while costs rose.

Committee: Leave Riverside Drive as is

Cost estimates for river trail requested
Bill liviCk
Unified Newspaper Group

The Public Safety Committee last week decided to recommend that the Common Council leave Riverside Drive as a two-way street. City residents and officials have been discussing the street after the citys River and Trails Task Force recommended turning the street into a one-way drive. Task Force members felt the change would enhance pedestrian safety and provide greater access to the Yahara River. But the citys risk management team the fire chief, the police chief and the EMS director recommended leaving the street as it is. And the Public Safety Committee voted to go along with that recommendation. Only one committee member, Ald. Tom Majewski (Dist. 4), voted against the recommendation. He said he would favor closing the street to vehicular traffic altogether. I just felt it was a missed opportunity to enhance the quality of life in the community by removing an

Nelson, Kraus make history

There were two new stories written for the Stoughton wrestling program Saturday at the WIAA Division 1 state wrestling tournament at the Kohl Center. Senior heavyweight Jessie Nelson, above, became the 42nd Stoughton state champion after a pin over Bay Port senior Garrett Heder in the title match. But besides Nelson, freshman Collin Kraus also made a little history Saturday, becoming the first freshman since Bret Stubblefield in 1988 to finish as high as third at the state tournament. Kraus defeated Burlington sophomore Ben Hornickle in the third-place match. Sophomore Zach Hasselberger and senior Kyle Moore also competed at the state tournament for the Vikings.

Courier Hub website changes will take effect this week

Our news websites are getting an overhaul this week. The Unified Newspaper Group will have new and improved websites, including ConnectStoughtonWi.com. The site will still have all your news and photos plus new features. Our websites will be going in the direction many news sources are, which will be to have a pay wall for some content. All this means is the reader will pay a small fee to look at more than a few features. This doesnt mean everything will be under the wall, and people who choose not to pay will have access to some content, as well as an allotted number of articles to read.

Asked and Answered

Sidewalk liability has lots of gray

The Hub spoke with two attorneys with years of municipal law experience about these questions one who asked not to be named and another who didnt. The unnamed attorney had a very succinct answer: If theres a defective condition on a public sidewalk and somebody gets hurt, I think the municipality is liable if it had notice of the defect and had a reasonable opportunity to correct it and failed to do so. I assume the rule would be the same if something were damaged. He then suggested contacting the League of Wisconsin Municipalities to see what an attorney there might have to say. We also called Daniel Olson, assistant legal counsel with the League of Wisconsin Municipalities, who stressed that he is not an expert in liability. Assuming the sidewalk is part of the public right of way and therefore is municipally owned, he said, a municipality cannot simply shift all of its liability to an abutting or adjoining property owner. Many municipalities, if not most, during the winter months require people to shovel sidewalks to keep them free of snow and ice and impose penalties for noncompliance. But ultimately, the responsibility for maintaining that sidewalk in a safe condition belongs to the municipality, Olson said. They cant shift that responsibility to the property owner, even though they may have an ordinance on the books that says all sidewalks shall be shoveled within 24 hours of a snowfall or whatever it is. The same goes for defects

If there is a dropoff or a raise between squares of sidewalk, and somebody falls and gets hurt, who gets sued, the citizen or the city? If this same drop off damages a snow blower or lawn mower, who pays? I know the resident pays for the building of the sidewalk, so who pays for the repair? in the sidewalk, he said. Whether or not liability is imposed in a specific case is always fact-dependent, he added, and there are multiple avenues of immunity from any liability for municipal governments and its employees and their actions or failure to act. In the case of a damaged tool or machine, Olson said a municipal lawyer defending a city would ask if, and to what extent, was the homeowners activity negligent. Did they know that there was a defect in the sidewalk, and to what extent did they know? he said hypothetically. We get into things like comparative negligence: How negligent was the property owner compared to the municipality in not dealing with the defect? Olson said thats a question thats almost always raised in every circumstance when theres a claim by one party. If one person gets injured and sues, a lawyer representing a defendant would ask how much did the plaintiff contribute to their own injury, and to what degree was their conduct a cause of the injury in the first place? Even if the homeowner had been complaining about this defective sidewalk to municipal officials, then, he or she would still have a responsibility to operate their machinery in a manner that didnt exacerbate the risk of damage. So could a municipality be held liable for damages to a snow blower or a lawn mower due to a sidewalk defect? Sure, in the right case, and every case is different, he said. - Bill Livick

The citys Public Safety Committee recommends leaving Riverside Drive a two-way street.

Drive: Committee plans to ask for trail cost estimate

Continued from page 1 auxiliary road and giving everybody access to riverfront recreation and a better pedestrian experience, Majewski said. My preference was to remove the road completely and not have it. My constituents were all over the board. I approached it from the viewpoint that its the best way to enhance the quality of the recreational experience. But streets superintendent Karl Manthe also favored leaving the street two-way. He said it would be easier for snow removal, is an important outlet for emergency personnel, and he didnt see a significant benefit to making it oneway. The committee plans to ask city staff to get a cost estimate to put a trail on the side of the street where a guard rail exists for pedestrians. Committee members discussed possibly extending the land toward the water in some way. Then they could possibly add a trail at that point, Majewski said. Thats fine. Itll get done what the River Task Force had requested. Im fine with that vote, but its not really the best thing. The Common Council is expected to discuss and possibly vote on the issue at its March 12 meeting.

Stoughton welcomes third little free library

Readers now have another spot to pick up and drop off books at a Little Free Library. Pat and Don Lund are the stewards of the latest library, found at the Town of Pleasant Spring boat landing, 2267 Williams Point Dr. Other little libraries can be found at 1850 Country Club Road and near the Kwik Trip, 517 W. Main St. Users are free to take a book or donate one to the library by visiting any of the free libraries in the area. The little free library originated in Wisconsin and has since gained ground and attracted notice. The first, a miniature model of a library, was built in 2010 in Hudson by Todd Bol to honor his mother, a former teacher and book lover. More information and locations can be found at littlefreelibrary.org.

Stoughton students will again spend 180 days in the classroom next school year under the new calendar approved by the school board last week. School next year will start on Sept. 3, 2013, and end on June 10, 2014. Early release days will fall on Oct. 25, Jan. 24, Feb. 28, May 23 and June 10. Teachers and staff will again have four professional development days, as they do this year. Under the 2011-2012 calendar, students spent 175 days in the classroom. The calendar for the current school year, approved in March 2012 by the school board, increased that to 180 largely through the elimination of the three Academic Excellence Days and the restructuring of other parts of the schedule. Next years calendar continues those changes. In other business last week, the board also heard that student enrollment as of last month had declined

slightly compared to September 2012. The third Friday count conducted in Stoughton in January showed the district with a total of 3,258 students, compared to 3,262 counted during the third Friday in September 2012. Neither figure includes students in the districts online education program, JEDI, which last month showed 20 students, boosting the total enrollment to 3,278. In September, total enrollment reached 3,279 including online students. Still, last months enrollment is a steeper decline when compared to January 2012s head count of 3,326. The January 2011 head count tallied 3,364 students. Declining enrollment has been a trend at the district for years. The district this year started offering its new online education program, JEDI, to help stem that decline and capture some students who reside in the district but attend school elsewhere, such as in another districts online education program, or are homeschooled.

RE: Riverside Drive future remains uncertain

I live above Riverside Drive and I can tell you that their are no people walking that street on a daily basis. This street almost never gets any people walking it. The solution to this problem is to put signs up and reduce the speed limits here. This is a city street and not a pathway for the few who see it this way! Keep your personal interests to yourselves, or chip in money to make a sidewalk where nobody lives. Randy Ree

Gordy Kopke, owner of Kopkes Greenhouses on Sand Hill Road, is a big supporter of organizations that he believes in. Last year he brought a New Mexico-based band to the Stoughton Opera House in a benefit concert for the Yahara River Grocery Cooperative. Hes bringing the same band, Holy Water & Whiskey, back this Sunday, and this time the proceeds will go to benefit the Opera House itself. Holy Water & Whiskey collectively, Maggie and Bruce Washburne and Scott Altenbach perform traditional folk, western and gospel bluegrass music. Theyve released three CDs since forming 10 years ago and have played hundreds of gigs. They were the 2011 New Mexico Music Award winners in the Best Vocal and Western Songs category. Kopke said the bands close harmony singing and solid instrumentation are sure to please fans of traditional music. Their harmonies are amazing, he said. Kopke met the Washburnes in 1977 in Hawaii, where all three had been living. They were in a country bluegrass band that played at a little bar out in a sugar cane field where the cane workers went, he recalled. I happened upon them as they were playing, and it was the first time I was exposed to bluegrass music. It was sort of fun and interesting, he added, and I became friends with them over the years. A few years after Kopke left Hawaii and returned to Wisconsin, he happened to be at a Laundromat in Oregon and noticed this gal who looked extremely like the Maggie that I had known in Hawaii, he remembered. Unbeknownst to me, she had come to the University of Wisconsin and was doing her doctoral work. The couple and Kopke resumed their friendship, even after the Washburnes moved to Albuquerque, where Maggie had landed a job as a college professor. Ten years ago, she and Bruce connected with a musician from Colorado and discovered magic in the three-part harmonies that their voices produced together. We started with gospel

bluegrass because its the best way to learn harmonies, the group states on their website. When we started playing, we had no idea our voices would blend like they do. Its a great treat to be sitting together doing this, and its extra that people seem to enjoy hearing it. Last fall, while Kopke was visiting the Washburnes in Albuquerque, he asked if they would be interested in returning to the Opera House for another show. Its a rare musician who would turn down a chance to perform in that intimate and historic setting, and the Washburnes said they would absolutely love to come back, Kopke said. In December, he got in touch with Opera House director Bill Brehm and asked if hed be interested in having the band back. Brehm and assistant director Christina Pleggenkuhle managed to find a date and squeeze Holy Water & Whiskey into the schedule. Bill said, Were a little tight on funds. Lets do a fundraiser for the Opera House, Kopke recalled. And I said, great, its a noble cause. In addition to performing some originals, including one song that was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2012 New Mexico Music Awards, Holy Water & Whiskey also play folk and traditional sounding tunes from such artists as Guy Clark and Gillian

During my childhood, my father would often preface his trips to the garage with the announcement that he was going downstairs to putter, often saying that he was just going to putter around in the garage. What he usually ended up doing for the next few hours was fixing broken toys, lamps or other appliances, or working on the cars. I distinctly remember looking up the word putter after hearing my father use the term, trust me, he puttered a lot, and chuckling when I read the definition: to occupy oneself with minor or unimportant tasks. But even then I knew that what my father was doing wasnt minor or unimportant. Seeing him fix broken stuff around the house was an important lesson on the value of resourcefulness, frugality, and helping others. Some of my most productive days now are those lazy Saturdays when I putter around the house, doing some housework perhaps between writing these short pieces, and then maybe going for a walk. We never know what we might find or how we might get inspired when we putter. You dont always need a prioritized list in order to get stuff done or to savor life in all its glory. Sometimes you just need to take the time to putter. Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Psalm 103:1

Pops Concert

The show featured high schools top vocalists performing several styles of popular music as well as a professional house band comprised of some of Wisconsins top studio musicians.

Do a little turn on the runway

More than a dozen Stoughton High School students took to the runway to model dresses for the upcoming Junior Prom. After getting their hair styled from the local Lotus Salon, girls donned dresses from Atelier on Main, the new downtown bridal and dress shop, to highlight what was available here locally as part of prom fashion show. Some current seniors and SHS graduates have also made their former prom dresses available to students for sale or rental, and a selection of those dresses was also on display during the show. Prom will take place April 20 at the Overture Center.

Business book drive to help Kegonsa kids

A book drive has been under way for Kegonsa Elementary School, and area businesses have been asked to participate. The effort is being coordinated by Eileen Stevens through an area chapter of Business Network International-Winners Circle, a network of local businesses, according to a press release. Local businesses and their staff are asked to clean out their bookshelves at home and donate new or gently used books appropriate for students in grades kindergarten through fifth. Cash donations also will be accepted to purchase used books. Businesses that would like to donate can contact Stevens at emshealth4life@ gmail.com or (608) 5771983. The books will go to Kegonsa students to reward them for reading. Literacy has been a key focus for the Stoughton Area School District as a whole over the last few years. We started this in Sun Prairie and when I started with BNI (Business Network International) and went to the school my first week with the group and saw the excitement of the kids who won free books I knew it was something that I wanted to be part of wherever I was at, Stevens, who is in the process of relocating to Stoughton from Sun Prairie, wrote in an email to the Hub. What is neat about this particular drive is .businesses can donate simply by an office/business effort, Stevens wrote later. Ask employees to clean their kids book shelves and donate the books. Say a business has 20 employees and they all bring in 1-3 books, you have a nice donation! It is very low cost and you get a shelf cleaned off or a box out of your basement to boot! Derek Spellman

Nelson wins SHSs first state title since 2007

After winning his firstplace match in the WIAA Division 1 state wrestling tournament Saturday at the Kohl Center, Jessie Nelson leapt into the arms of assistant coach Eric Dahmen, who easily caught him to the cheers of the crowd. The senior heavyweight finally achieved his goal of becoming Stoughton High Schools 42nd state champion and the schools first since Dallas OMalley in 2007 by pinning Bay Port away during freshman year, and it feels so good to finally reach it, Nelson said. It is the greatest feeling in the world. I cant believe I did it and made it this far. Nelson defeated No. 4 junior Hunter Hauser (Holmen) 3-2 in the semifinals Friday to make the finals match. On Thursday, he won 2-1 win over Beaver Dam senior Riley Budde, who is ranked No. 3, in the quarterfinals, scoring the final point on a stall penalty. Nelson started the tournament with a 5-3 win over Waukesha South junior Brock Milkent, ranked No. 8. He finished the season 54-1, going undefeated against Wisconsin wrestlers. his career, with a third-place finish at the Badger Conference Tournament and a sectional title in his sophomore year. The dream of one day being a champion at state now seemed attainable. Nelson lost two close matches his first year as a state qualifier in 2011, but he came back his junior year and won a conference title and another sectional title to reach state again. A close loss in the semifinals in 2011 was the only blemish on his state tournament record, as he finished third and set up this seasons run. To be able to do this in basically a four-year stretch is pretty exciting stuff, Spilde said. To be No. 42 is something to be proud of. Nelson was 144-25 as a varsity wrestler for the Vikings. He said he plans on continuing to wrestle after he graduates and that the University of WisconsinWhitewater is a possibility. When asked what he will remember when he looks back at this moment in the future, Nelson responded, I am going to think about all the hard work I put in and the coaches pushing me and pushing me and making sure I made it this far. Freshman Collin Kraus also had success at the state tournament last weekend. He became the first

senior Garrett Heder, who was ranked No. 2 on wiwres tling.com, in 2 minutes, 56 seconds. Nelson, known as Superman to his classmates and friends, was No. 1 in the state rankings all season, and he was at a loss for words when the time finally did come. But one thing he couldnt stop doing was smiling. It was a goal that was so far

When Nelson joined the SHS varsity wrestling team, he didnt have much experience, co-head coach Dan Spilde said. In fact, Nelson was thinking of skipping wrestling altogether and joining the basketball team. But cohead coach Bob Empey encouraged Nelson to give wrestling a try. Coach Empey told me to come in the room for a week and see what happens. If you like, you stay. If you dont like it, you can leave, Nelson said. Nelson not only stayed, he began to flourish early on in

Vikings come back to win third straight regional

Assistant sports editor

Regionals begin Friday

The last time the Stoughton girls basketball team played Badger South champion Monona Grove this season, both teams were undefeated in the conference. Round two was more about the Vikings getting ready for the playoffs and the Silver Eagles attempting to clinch an outright title, however. Stoughton played better than the first meeting, jumping out to a seven-point lead, but it couldnt hold on in a 46-40 loss. The loss dropped the Vikings to 13-9 overall (7-5 conference), while Monona Grove finished 20-2 overall (11-1). The Vikings trailed by one point in the fourth quarter but were outscored 16-11. The Silver Eagles held

Girls basketball

Stoughtons third straight boys basketball regional title was looking unlikely in the final minutes Saturday. The host Vikings trailed Fort Atkinson by eight points with just under a minute-and-a-half to play in the WIAA Division 2 regional final, but they tied the game to force overtime, then led the entire extra quarter to advance to sectionals with a 60-55 win. I dont think anybody but the 15 guys in our locker room and the coaching staff expected this, head coach Matt Hockett said. We wanted to repeat the conference and three-peat the regional, and now we can cross off goals No. 1 and No. 2. Senior guards Ben Gerber and Shane Rowley were big parts of the comeback, along with junior guard PJ Rosowski sophomore forward Nick McGlynn.

Vikings: Stoughton is a win away from making three straight sectional finals
Continued from page 8 Rowley first hit a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to five points, and after a timeout, Rosowski deflected a pass that was scooped up by Gerber, who was fouled in the process. Gerber knocked down both free throws to tie the game at 45. No. 3 Fort Atkinson held the ball for the final 40 seconds but missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer as the game went to overtime. In overtime, it was all McGlynn, who started it off with a 3-point play. He scored 14 of his team-leading 19 points in the fourth and overtime combined. The way he played in the first three quarters, he better come out and have the performance he had late in the game, Hockett said. He will be the first to admit he was not very good in the first three quarters but embraced our concept of next play. The No. 2 Vikings (16-8) held a four-point lead at halftime before the Blackhawks (12-12) took control in the third quarter. Fort Atkinson outscored Stoughton 18-4 to grab a 10-point lead. I dont think we played terrible offensively in the third, but I do think we rushed some things and tried to get everything back at one time, Hockett said. Rowley finished with 15 points, senior forward Zach Krueger added nine and senior guard Zach Bower chipped in seven. The Vikings began the season 4-7 but have won 12 of their last

No. 2 Stoughton vs. No. 1 Wilmot Union When: 7 p.m. Thursday Where: Lake Geneva Badger High School Sectional final When: 1:30 p.m. Saturday Where: Janesville Craig High School 13 games. With a conference title and now a regional title, the next goal for Stoughton is to get past Wilmot Union in Thursdays sectional semifinal and earn a chance to make state for the first time in school history. Hockett said that protecting the basketball will be key with Wilmots full-court transition style of play. Teams that have struggled against them have turned the basketball over, and ultimately, when Wilmot gets into a fullcourt transition game, they are very dangerous, he said. Wilmot (19-5) is led by senior forward Mike Stevenson (314 points) and junior guard Nate Hensel (300). The game begins at 7 p.m. at Lake Geneva Badger. In the other sectional semifinal, No. 2 Monroe squares off against No. 4 DeForest. Stoughton lost by a buzzerbeater to DeForest last season in the sectional final, but the Vikings edged the Norskies in the only game against each other this season. Stoughton dropped both games it played

against Monroe this year. The sectional final is at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Janesville Craig High School.

Sophomore Brady Brusegar is fouled while driving to the basket following a steal in the second quarter last Friday in the WIAA Division 2 regional semifinal against Union Grove. The Vikings won 56-22

The Vikings began regionals last Friday against No. 7 Union Grove and rode a 20-point first quarter to a 56-22 win. I thought our boys came out ready to play, Hockett said. That was a team that was ready to attack our second goal. The Vikings outrebounded Union Grove 36-10, including 13-1 on the offensive end. The second-chance opportunities helped the Vikings to shoot 50 percent from the floor and pull away, even after Union Grove cut Stoughtons lead to 13 early in the third. Stoughton also had a fourminute dry spell in the second quarter, but Union Grove didnt do much better, scoring just two points in that same span. We controlled the glass, but we werent perfect tonight, Hockett said. I dont know if we could replicate what we did in the first quarter, but I dont like going scoreless for quarters. We definitely have some things to work on to prevent that. McGlynn led Stoughton with 12 points and eight rebounds, while Bower added 10. Rowley chipped in with six points and six rebounds, and senior forward Ryan Streich also added six. Union Grove was led by junior guard Andrew Kazikowski with seven points.

Girls BB: Hosts Oregon Friday

Continued from page 8 Stoughton to just two points in the second quarter, but it was the second half when they grabbed the lead back. Senior guard Tessa Mersberger led Stoughton with 14 points, while senior guard Megan Robson added 11. Stoughton, which earned the No. 3 seed in the regional hosts No. 6 Oregon or No. 11 Westosha Central at 7 p.m. Friday in the regional semifinal. The Panthers game against Westosha Central was postponed Tuesday night due to a snowstorm. It was rescheduled for Wednesday, which is after the Observers deadline. Oregon is favored to win, however, and if it does, it will be the third time the Badger South rivals play. Stoughton split two regular season meetings against Oregon this season. The Panthers are led by junior forward Maddy Gits with 184 points and sophomore forward Riley Rosemeyer with 153. Senior guard Maran da Ricker, who signed to play for Clarke University (Dubuque, Iowa), is third on the team with 132 points. Stoughton is led by Mersberger with 257 points and Robson with 189. Junior guard Patricia Dumas is third with 146 points. If the Vikings win, they will either host No. 7 Fort Atkinson/ No. 10 DelevanDarien or travel to No. 2 Wilmot Union for the regional final.

I wish I could have gotten first, but it is still really good and Im proud of myself, Kraus said. Kraus (47-7) also defeated the No. 3 and No. 4 wrestlers this week. He took down New Richmond junior Shane Blackman 6-3 (No. 4) on Thursday in the quarterfinals, and he defeated Muskego junior Austin Quartullo (No. 3) in the consolation wrestlebacks on Saturday.

Hasselberger (40-13) came into the tournament at No. 13. His two losses were to the second- and third-place finishers, Lee and Farr. Burlington freshman Josh Bird won the 120-pound title. Obviously he didnt have the best spot in the bracket, but that happens sometimes, Spilde said. He will fight back. He has a couple of years, and that just gives him more motivation to get to the podium next year. Moore lost his first match to Bay Port junior Chad Osmanski 6-2, who is ranked No. 9. Moore (3417) was No. 15 at the start of the tournament. Hartland Arrowhead senior Andrew Crone won the 132-pound title. Moore finish his high school career at 83-42. He has been one of the guys that stabilized the middle of our lineup this year, and to get him here was very important for us, Spilde said. He did what it took to get here. It would have been great to see him on the medal stand, but he represented us well. As the night ended with new history for the Stoughton program, Spilde finished by saying that the team is very excited about next season.

Senior Kyle Moore (132 pounds) and sophomore Zach Hasselberger both had their state wrestling tournaments cut short Friday. Hasselberger lost in the consolation semifinals in a 10-2 major decision to Bay Port junior Chase Farr, ranked No. 2, while Moore

SHS to stage production of Flowers for Algernon

Stoughton High School students will stage the play Flowers for Algernon at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, through Saturday, March 2, at the high school Performing Arts Center. The play, adapted from the classic short story and novel by Daniel Keyes, is a character study of a 32-year-old developmentally disabled man, Charlie Gordon. Gordon undergoes an experimental surgical procedure, already conducted on a lab mouse, Algernon, that increases his intelligence. In a series of progress reports, Charlie documents everything that happens to him as Charlies intelligence increases to a genius level, the school districts website says. This jump in intelligence is not necessarily a good thing, however as Charlie is now able to recall past events that shaped his life and analyze past friendships for what they were, or werent. He also has difficulty making new friendships and establishing new relationships due to a lack of social intelligence

Clerkin, a capella group sing in Ohio

Nick Clerkin, a Stoughton High School graduate and current student at Marquette University, recently participated in 2013 A Cappella Invitational at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, as part of the universitys male a cappella group The Naturals, according to a press release. At the annual Invitational, The Naturals performed three songs: Free Fallin, Make a Man Out of You and their TV Medley. The Naturals were discovered on YouTube by a Miami University a cappella group and were invited to the prestigious invitational, the release said. It marked the first time the group, formed in 2001, performed outside Wisconsin. The group often entertains at Marquette basketball games, concerts and flash a cappellas where they break out into song in central locations on campus.

And, finally, because of his increased intelligence, Charlie is able to discover the experiments fatal flaw and is reduced to watching the end for both Algernon and himself, hoping to salvage something for the future from his brief bout with genius. Keyes novel is on the American Library Associations list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 19901999 at No. 43 because of Charlies struggle to understand and express his sexual desires.

Budget: District faces $5 million shortfall once current referendum ends next year
Continued from page 1 An increase in state aid without an increase in the revenue limit means state funding replaces some of the school funding that would have had to come from local taxpayers. That can translate into a tax cut for property owners but no increase in revenue for school districts. The caveat, Pickett said, is that Walkers proposal can change by the time it makes its way through the legislature and back to the governors desk. And she added that she felt pretty confident we can balance our budget next fiscal year, the final one before the referendum ends. Asked for comment about Walkers budget proposal, superintendent Tim Onsager told the Hub last week that, I anxiously await what the final budget will be. The district early last week, however, put out a news release highlighting the school boards previous passage of a resolution that urges Walker and state lawmakers to support a greater investment in public schools in the new budget. All eight board members in attendance voted for the resolution in early January. The Board approved a resolution calling for an increase in general aid and a significant, upward per-pupil adjustment in the revenue limits to cover inflationary increases in school costs and restore resources lost during the Great Recession providing a greater investment in public schools, the district

Hebl so that their voices are heard at the Capitol, Hebls office and member of the Joint Finance Committee. The final state budget likely will be one of the key pieces of information the district will use to decide whether to pursue another referendum to replace the current one, and if so, for how much. Onsager had warned in the fall of 2011 that Stoughton likely would have to seek another referendum after the 2010 measure ends, although the school board has not yet discussed whether to seek a new one. This year, half of all school districts revenue comes from local property taxpayers, the first time in recent memory that it has eclipsed that mark.

news release said. The same release also noted Act 10, the controversial legislation that all but ended collective bargaining rights for most public employees, had afforded school boards more flexibility to balance their budgets before but that most of the cost savings for schools from not paying the employee share of retirement costs have already been achieved, and some of those savings will be partially offset by higher 2013 contribution rates for the employers share . under the state retirement fund. Onsager also said he was looking forward to this weeks meeting between the school board and Sen. Luther Olsen, R-Ripon, the chair of the Senates Education Committee

Walker last week officially presented his twoyear, $68 billion budget that seeks to cut income taxes, increase funding for higher education and support venture capital. Walker also proposed a 1 percent increase in general funding for K-12 schools. Walker has also proposed an expansion of the states voucher school program to include a total of nine school districts, including Madisons. He also wants to increase funding for current voucher programs in Milwaukee and Racine, launch a state board to facilitate the creation of more independent charter schools and allot part of the new school funding for an incentive grant program for high-performing and low-performing schools. In the end, our goal is simple: ensure that every child regardless of where they are from or what their family income is has access to a great

education, he said. His proposals, however, have also drawn criticism. I am deeply disappointed and saddened that this budget, as rolled out to date, does not prioritize funding for our 870,000 public school students, state Superintendent Tony Evers, who is running for re-election this year, said in a statement after Walker first announced his education plans. By freezing the revenue limit, which governs school spending, this budget ensures that the small proposed increase in school aids will only be used to reduce property taxes, not increase spending on our students. No new textbooks or computers. No additional reading or career and technical education teachers. No additional interventions or services.

All the dresses in the store are handpicked, they said. We have a lot of different lines, Rostowfske said. On the business Facebook page, the friends declare that they started Atelier to take our love of wedding planning and addiction to shopping and make a business out of it! Who says dreams cant come true?! The friends told the Hub their decision was partly borne out of a experiences when they went dress shopping for their respective weddings and other special occasions and found a lack of selection in dress styles within an affordable price range. They rejected the notion that we have to give up style for price, Rostowfske said. Rostowfske had also previously told the Hub about a lack of customer service from other stores.

Stoughton Hospital has added gastrointestinal services and another orthopedic surgical option, the hospital recently said in separate news releases. Gary Griglione, of Meriter Medical Group, and John S. Rogerson, an orthopedic surgeon, have both begun practicing at Stoughton Hospital. Griglione offers prevention, early detection and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, including colon cancer screening colonoscopy, hepatitis and liver disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, peptic ulcers and pancreatitis. Rogersons focus is on evaluation, aggressive non-operative, and arthroscopic treatment of the shoulder, hip and knee, the hospital release said. Rogerson also practices at Meriter Hospital and has been practicing in the Madison area for almost 30 years. The addition of

We are continually working on adding more specialists to our medical staff.

Stoughton businesses to be part of Home Product Expo

When Jenna Pechmann and Nikki Rostowfske decided on 117 Main St. for their first small business, the space was little more than more than concrete walls and a wood floor. Now, its barely recognizable an airy yellow space lined with dresses and furnished with comfortable waiting chairs and giant mirrors. We liked the idea of being able to make it our own, Pechmann said of transforming the onetime storage space of a closed drugstore into one of Stoughtons newest businesses. Atelier on Main opened early last month. The more than 2,000-squarefoot store carries wedding dresses, whether for brides, mothers or bridesmaids; prom dresses; and everyday dresses that people can wear for work or to go out. The shop has a total of 300 dresses, as well as jewelry to go with them, the co-owners said. We kind of say we can dress anybody from a guest to a bride,

Atelier on Main features approximately 300 dresses, as well as jewelry and accessories.

So the pair decided to start their own dress shop and scouted different locations before selecting Stoughton, partly because their spouses families already own businesses here, partly because they love the downtown area. We looked at quite a few (storefronts) down Main Street, Rostowfske said. They selected the one on 117 because of its spacious front windows and the buildings historical character. Crews spent months converting the space at 117 Main St. into a new storefront. The two friends said that part of the building had previously been used as storage space for Stoughtons Thrifty

White, the drugstore that closed in August 2010. The two friends place an emphasis on what Rostowfske termed that personal touch when interacting with customers. We wanted to be able to give a personal experience, Pechmann said. So far, the reception to the shop has been positive, she said. The two friends have been using Facebook, website and Twitter to spread the word. This week helped with a fashion show at Stoughton High School for the upcoming prom. They also have reached out to other area schools. The feedback has been that they like our selection and our prices are affordable, Pechmann said.

Stoughton businesses will be among the 200 vendors at the 33rd annual Home Products Show March 1-3 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. The annual show allows visitors to get their questions answered, generate ideas and maybe even line up a contractor. This year, it will include local businesses Moyers Landscape Services & Hometown Nurseries and Shaw Building and Design. With the still-wobbly economy, people are still reluctant to make the big investment of building a new home; instead they are focusing on ways to improve their existing homes by remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, building additions and improving outdoor space. The Home Product Show also features free seminars taught throughout the threeday event by local experts. Jeff Moyer, CEO and vice president of Moyers Landscape Services & Hometown Nurseries, will

present a seminar on creating an outdoor landscape living experience. Well be discussing how clients work with landscape design industry professionals to create and implement dream elements for their landscape experience, including style, impact, and textures, within phased budgets, Moyer said. Energy efficiency will also be a hot topic at the Home Products Show. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to cut your heat and cooling bills in half? asked Greg Shaw of Shaw Building and Design, who is presenting a seminar on how to control energy costs. We will show you how we have designed homes that will heat for as little as $1 per day in the heating season. The Home Products Show in Madison is March 1-3 at Exhibition Hall in the Alliant Energy Center. Times are Friday 2-7 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.-6 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is free.

Christ Lutheran gathers 3,000 pounds of food for food pantry

As part of Christ Lutherans Mardi Gras/ Fat Tuesday celebration on Feb. 10, Christ Lutheran collect just over 3,000 pounds of food for the Stoughton Food Pantry. The congregational members brought 1,805 pounds of food to church, along with $197. Thrivent Financial matched 50 cents on the dollar per pound of food. The church figured about one pound of food per dollar (some food is less expensive, a lot of food is more expensive). That adds up to 3,002 pounds. On Feb. 11, eight Christ Lutheran volunteers loaded up their vehicles and took the food down to the Stoughton Food Pantry. It was received with hugs and warm words of thanks. - Submitted by pastor Paula Geister-Jones

Helping hands

Stoughton Hospital recently held a compression-only CPR class for the community. Participants learned a valuable life-saving skill using only their hands to make steady chest compressions on a person in cardiac arrest. Compression-only CPR keeps a persons blood moving through their body after cardiac arrest until more advanced life support, such as EMS personnel, arrive.

The Schools of Hope Tutoring Program-Middleton needs your help to ensure every student succeeds in middle & high school.

If you are looking for an opportunity to learn more about community resources and would like to assist people in finding ways to get and give help, United Way 2-1-1 may be the place for you!
