Six vie for board at ‘critical time’Four seats up for grabsDerek SpellmanUnified Newspaper Group

The Stoughton Area School Dis-trict could face as much as a $5 mil-lion shortfall when a referendum backed by voters in 2010 expires next year.

That gap equals almost 77 teach-ers, based on the district’s figures. It’s the equivalent of closing Yahara Elementary school – as the district did several years ago – five times.

That shortfall is just one of the issues awaiting the four winners

of next week’s six-candidate Stough-ton school board election. Growing compet i t ion f rom neighboring school d i s t r i c t s , sh r ink-ing enrollment and tougher state stan-dards and standard-ized tests are among the others.

The candidates are vying for a chance to guide the school district through uncertainty and austerity.

The three challengers – Francis X. Sullivan, Joe Freye and Wanda Grasse – have highlighted teacher

relations, a pending referendum and enrollment as among their key issues. The three incumbents – Scott Dirks, Donna Tarpinian and Bev-erly Fergus – have highlighted their experience and the district’s initia-tives of the past few years, includ-ing new online education programs, public-private partnerships like the fabrication laboratory and a new strategic plan.

Despite some differences, there appears to be broad agreement among the hopefuls on at least one issue: These next few years will be important.

city sees resurgence of main Street business activityDerek SpellmanUnified Newspaper Group

A year ago, Main Street’s vacant storefronts at times made it look like a set of broken teeth.

But in recent months, those storefronts have been filling up – with veteran merchants and newcom-ers alike, with jewelry and sweatshirts and dresses, with a former Wisconsin Air National guardswoman, chefs and artisans. And all that is just on Main Street.

In the closing months of 2012, Stoughton celebrated four business openings. In

January, it welcomed two more. In February, three. Another one quietly opened its doors earlier this month. Another restaurant is head-ed here, perhaps in early May.

The new operations are filling a void left by the closure of other business-es. Some of those busi-nesses closed a while ago. Much of the new activity is concentrated in the city’s downtown area.

The city’s newest entre-preneurs, some of whom already had businesses e l s ewhere , have done their homework. And they concluded Stoughton is the place for them, either because of the busy Main Street, the low cost of

With only a couple of exceptions, next Tues-day’s election features few contested races for local offices.

In the Stoughton Area School District, six can-didates wil l compete April 2 for four seats on the Board of Education. Incumbents Scott Dirks and Donna Tarpinian will each seek a second term. Bev Fergus, who was appointed to the board in January following the resignation of Verlynn Schmalle, is also running. They face three new-comers – Wanda Grasse, Francis “Frank” X. Sul-livan and Joseph Brent Freye.

The only other local-ly contested election is for a supervisor seat in the Town of Pleasant Springs.

Local ballots will also feature a Dane County referendum and a judi-cial election, and two s t a t ewide r aces , fo r state superintendent and Supreme Court justice.

Public hearing is slated for redevelopment area April 10MARK IGNATOWSKIUnified Newspaper Group

The next step in creating a revolving loan fund for the downtown area will be to gather input from resi-dents at a public hearing in April.

The city’s Redevelop-ment Authority will listen to comments at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 10, at city hall.

The RDA is seeking approval to expand their authority from essentially the former Marathon gas station site on Main Street to an area the encompass-es most of the downtown. The goal is to be able to

oversee and revolving loan fund that would lend mon-ey to property owners in the expanded area to make improvements to their land and buildings. State stat-utes limit the area where

the revolving loan fund money can be spent to the redevelopment area.

The RDA and coun-cil previously approved a f ind ing of b l igh t in the expanded area. That crucial s tep means the expanded area f i t s the state’s defini t ion for a redevelopment area and that the city’s RDA can administer the loans in the area, if the plan is approved in the coming months.

The revolving loan fund is one of two eyed for the city. A second loan area would fall in Tax Incre-menta l Dis t r ic t No. 3 , which covers the Business

Park North.The RDA will consider

the public testimony after the hearing has closed and make a decision whether to approve the amended plan. That recommenda-tion would head to the city council for consideration and possible approval on May 8.

A legal notice regarding the hearing was published last week and this week in the Hub.

Panel backs breakfast, lunch price increasesRecommendation heads to school board for review

DEREK SPELLMANUnifi ed Newspaper Group

Student breakfast prices would rise by 10 cents next year and lunch prices by 5 cents under a propos-al endorsed by the Stough-ton Area School District’s finance committee last week.

The recommendation will now head to the full school board for review, likely at one of its meet-ings next month.

The committee recom-mended raising lunch fees from $2.05 to $2.10 for elementary school stu-dents, from $2.20 to $2.25 for the middle school and from $2.25 to $2.30 for the high school. Break-fast prices would jump from $1.20 to $1.30 for the elementary school and from $1.35 to $1.45 for the middle and high schools. Current milk and adult meal prices would remain unchanged.

The district last year raised lunch prices by 10 cents and breakfast pric-es by 5 cents to comply with federal regulations. New federal requirements have meant districts are

charging more for meals to better align with the reim-bursement they receive for students participating in the free and reduced lunch program.

Other recommendations

The dis t r ic t f inance committee also recom-mended several other fee increases last week.

• A 15-cent an hour increase in pool employee wages, which currently range from $7.75 per hour for many lifeguard posi-tions to $11.50 for a head lifeguard. The district annually reviews those wages.

• Various increases in hourly rental fees for the elementary school gyms and the high school gym, cafetorium and audito-rium.

• A 25-cent increase in swimming lessons fee to recoup the cost of moving to an online payment sys-tem and the pool employee wage increase. Lessons currently cost $5 apiece for residents and $7 for non-residents.

Those fee increases also must be approved by the school board to take effect.

The finance commit-tee recommended leaving annual registration fees alone.

Watershed merges with Ezra Church VICTORIA VLISIDESUnifi ed Newspaper Group

Watershed Community Church in Stoughton joined forces in January with Ezra Church based in Madison.

The church still meets at its Stoughton location on Main Street, but changed its name to be part of Ezra so that it’s one church in two locations. The other congregation meets at East Towne Cinema on the east side of Madison.

The switch came after pastor Jeff Lovell, who’s

been with the congregation since its inception in 2006, and longtime friend and Ezra pastor Dave Tilman tossed around the idea of joining forces.

“We think we can do more together than we can on our own,” Lovell said in a phone interview last week.

With unanimous support from leaders in both con-gregations, the two groups came together to have 250 members.

Love l l sa id the two congregations will share

resources and staff includ-ing administration, music, and community outreach. In the future, he said he hopes to add more loca-tions.

Map submitted

The area inside the white boundary would be available for assistance from a revolving loan fund if the common council approves expand-ing the redevelopment area. The lighter shaded properties are considered blighted.

Opinion

In little more than a year, the Stoughton School District will be at a financial tipping point, when funding from the current operating referen-dum expires.

Thus, it is now imper-ative that the School Board focus on refer-endum planning that encompasses the entire community. To achieve a successful outcome, such a planning process will require expanded lead-ership from the School Board, characterized by reaching out to all parts of the community

through an extended lis-tening process.

This process must ensure increased under-standing throughout the community of exactly how continued invest-ment in our schools ben-efits all of us who are fortunate enough to call Stoughton “home.”

Accordingly, I’m hap-py to have the opportu-nity to support the candi-dacy of Francis (Frank) Sullivan for election to the School Board.

Frank, and his wife Sheila, are longtime Stoughton residents, and

have had one or more of their four children in the Stoughton schools for more than a decade.

Further, his service as the president of the board of Stoughton’s free health clinic shows his deep compassion and commitment to our com-munity as a whole.

Frank is then uniquely qualified to help pro-vide precisely the type of leadership we need now on the School Board as we look ahead to resolv-ing the critical financial issues facing the dis-trict, given his broad

experience as a “parent-consumer” of the school system’s services, his ongoing engagement in community focused vol-unteer efforts, and his professional background as a negotiator/mediator and trainer.

At this time, then, when caring, thoughtful leadership is essential, please join me in voting for Francis (Frank) Sulli-van for School Board on Tuesday, April 2.

John Cook,Stoughton

Sullivan will bring thoughtful, caring leadership

Following are the rea-sons that we support Joe Freye for Stoughton School Board, but before we explain why, we want to thank all of the candi-dates for their willing-ness to serve in a public service position in this difficult fiscal and politi-cal climate.

Although Joe’s name is not as well-known as some of the other candi-dates, he is just as pas-sionate and committed to making sure Stough-ton schools offer the best education possible for

all students. As a parent of 2 school age children, Joe is well aware of the hurdles our district faces.

Joe is devoted to put-ting the needs of students first by making sure our teachers are well sup-ported. Joe feels strongly about repairing the trust between the board and district teachers and staff by negotiating a sensible contract. In the event that is not possible, he wants to craft a handbook with actual input from the teachers and staff that provides security, fair

wages and working con-ditions. We agree with Joe’s plan to keep the lines of communication open, respect others’ opinions and work as a team.

Joe also sees the criti-cal need to begin work-ing on an operating ref-erendum for 2014. This will be a large referen-dum and will require tire-less effort to educate our community regarding the needs of the district, the lack of state level support and the consequences of failing to pass it.

Joe is concerned about the trend of declining enrollment and is com-mitted to reversing this trend so that all Stough-ton parents of school age children will feel a great sense of pride when they say “my son/daugh-ter attends Stoughton schools”.

If you share Joe’s vision and ideas laid out above, we hope you will cast your vote for Joe on April 2nd.

Vote for Joe Freye for Stoughton school board

Today I watched the Stoughton School Board candidates’ forum. It was brought to the audience’s attention that current board members represent a variety of backgrounds, but only one has the abil-ity to represent the broad spectrum of education.

After speaking with Wanda Grasse, I learned she is a 27- year veteran teacher with an Edu-cation Administration degree and qualified for licensure as Principal, Director of Instruction, and Director of Special Education.

I am enamored with the idea of having a teacher on our School Board, so one of my votes will be cast for Wanda Grasse. W h y w o u l d n ’ t o u r

community embrace this opportunity?

Candidates discussed the results of a recent teacher survey wherein a high number of respon-dents indicated job sat-isfaction. (What was the total number of respon-dents, though?)

Of course those who did respond expressed satisfaction with their jobs; they are dedicated, passionate profession-als who treat your chil-dren with affection and compassion! Wanda has heard the concerns of individuals and groups of teachers - they are fear-ful and heartbroken. That is her reason for running for a seat on Stoughton’s School Board.

During the forum,

I was shocked to hear Scott Dirks contend that “the only thing (the Board) is allowed to negotiate is base wages.” Act 10 is NOT law, so the restriction that lim-ited labor negotiations with school workers is no longer applicable.

Since it may be six months to two years before the Supreme Court renders a deci-sion, our Board needs to negotiate a fair contract in a balanced way by having an educator at the table. That can be accom-plished by electing Wan-da Grasse.

The newly appointed Board member, Fer-gus, introduced her-self by saying she has a “unique perspective” and

continued by informing us that she has home-schooled her children, taken them out of the district and enrolled them in two virtual schools! I question that “unique p e r s p e c t i v e , ” g i v e n Stoughton’s current fam-ily-flight struggle.

These are only some of the reasons I will choose Wanda Grasse for Stoughton School Board on April 2. Please join me in returning value to the lives and reputations of Stoughton staff mem-bers and therefore also creating harmony in our school buildings for the ultimate goal of educat-ing our youth.

Editor’s note: The Stoughton Courier Hub typically does not publish election letters on the eve of an election. However, due to a miscommunication with several candidates about the paper’s election letter guidelines, the Hub granted three candidates one additional letter each.

Letters to the editor

Error in ‘City aquires land’ Thanks for running the story

from Monday, 3/18, titled “City acquires lands.”

However, I would like to cor-rect a factual error. Natural Heri-tage Land Trust is a private, non-profit organization that operates with the support of members. We are in no way administered by or affiliated with the Department of Natural Resources.

Our mission is to permanently protect important lands in and around Dane County.

One way we accomplish our mission is by obtaining grants through various public agen-cies which fund our purchases. One such program is the DNR’s K n o wl e s - Ne l so n S t e w a rd -ship Program, from which we

are obtaining grants to buy the Arnett property in the City of Stoughton.

The DNR does place restric-tions on the use of the lands pur-chased with these grants. One such restriction is that it must be open to the public for hunting, fishing, trapping, hiking, and cross-country skiing.

We are excited to be helping the City of Stoughton secure a beautiful stretch of Yahara River shoreline that its citizens will be able to enjoy forever.

Sewer upgrade unnecessary Recently I got a letter in the

mail from the City of Stoughton. They are going to tear up some roads and put in a new upgrade to the sewer system and gutters.

I asked if they had any com-plaints about this from any resi-dents and the answer was no. They told me that this was only an upgrade that they were going to do. At this economic time in our country and cities I would think that things like this could wait. The residents will also have to pay for the damage to their sidewalks and driveways that is done by this upgrade.

My question is, why can’t this wait?

There have been no problems reported! Many of us in this neighborhood have already had to pay a few years ago to have their bad sidewalks repaired and now we will have to pay for this

again?I would like to know how to

get this work delayed because it is not very important to get it done right now. The city should wait until things get better for everyone and when we have more money to pay for this upgrade that isn’t needed. Why fix something right now if it isn’t broke?.

I am mad because I have just paid for all of the work just a few years ago on out sidewalks and driveways. There must be other places in our city that are in need of some work besides an upgrade.

Spend our tax dollars wisely and don’t waste them on any upgrades until our economy gets stronger please.

Dancing with the Stough-ton Stars will return for the third consecutive year Sat-urday, April 6.

The event, a local version of the national hit TV show, is a fundraiser for Stough-ton Hospital, who will use the funds raised this year toward upgrading Stough-ton Hospital’s GI endos-copy room, according to Sonja Goldbeck of Stough-ton Hospital.

The hospital received previous grant money from the Bryant foundation to upgrade the endoscopy equipment, and the dona-tions from Dancing with the Stoughton Starts will go toward upgrading the infra-structure to integrate the equipment.

Stoughton hospital plan to purchase a video power arm and a monitor arm, which will allow the spe-cialist advanced viewing technology and capabilities and will increase their abil-ity to be flexible and more efficient in the variety of procedures the hospital per-forms, Goldbeck said.

This year’s competition features five couples, who will be dancing a varia-tion of dances, including the Mambo, the swing, the Tango/hustle, the Cha Cha and the Samba.

Th i s yea r ’ s dance r s include Christine and Eric Benedict, Amy and Ron Dorr, Diann and Dan Hol-zhuter, Tina and Dwayne S t r a n d l i e a n d L i n d a Andrews and Don Bush.

The show wi l l s t a r t a t 7 : 3 0 p . m . , w i t h a

performance by the Wis-consin Singers following. Their 90 minute show, “Can’t Stop Us Now!,”

was arranged by the writ-ers of “Glee and The Sing Off!”, and highlights the best of American popular

music from the last 40 years, Goldbeck said.

The routines are cho-reographed by Broadway

choreographers and are appropriate for all age lev-els, Director Robin Whitty-Novotny said.

The Wisconsin Singers were added to the event last year and were a great addition, which resulted in a “packed house,” Whitty-Novotny said.

The group of 16 singers and dancers, as well as the live 9-piece band, all UW-Madison undergraduates. The group performs for about 50,000 people each year, Whitty-Novotny said, often working with groups on fundraisers like this one for Stoughton Hospital.

“Combined wi th the Dancing with the Stars event, it is the best evening of entertainment you could possibly have,” Whitty-Novotny said.

This year’s event will be judged by Bill Mansfield, the Stoughton Hospital Foundation board president; Leigh Mills, NBC Channel 15 news anchor; and Vir-gene and Norm Sime, last year’s winners.

Tickets are $20 at the door or at the Stoughton Hospital Gift Shop. For more information or to purchase tickets call, 873-2205.

AmbivalenceThe Merriam-Webster dictionary defines

ambivalence as “simultaneous and contradic-tory feelings (as attraction and repulsion) toward an object, person, or action.” This is an all-too-human experience that has a

physical basis in our two-sided brain. Positive emotions are usually processed on the left side of the brain and negative emotions on the right. A child who has just “appropri-

ated” a cookie after strict instructions to stay away from the cookie jar may feel pleasure at the same time he is feeling guilt or fear.

All of our significant relationships have some ambivalence. Parents love their children and yet nothing can be quite as exasperating as a child misbehaving. The secret to dealing with ambivalence is to not let it spoil an otherwise good experience. Going to a party should be fun, though it will perhaps also have some anxiety attached if you aren’t crazy about parties, but that doesn’t have to ruin the

experience. Commit yourself to enjoying the event and you probably will, regardless of the hassles involved. Likewise, our relationships can be spoiled by ambivalence if we focus

too much on the negative aspects, but if we commit ourselves to loving the other person despite their flaws then the ambivalence is

neutralized. Another way to deal with ambiva-lence is to reflect on our values and to recon-cile our feelings based on the higher value.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God. . . . But when you ask, you must

believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

Such a person is double-minded and unsta-ble in all they do.”

doing business here, or a downtown that is steeped in history.

“I had heard so many wonderful things about Stoughton,” Emily Conner, owner of Bellasazi Salon & Spa, said of why she decid-ed to set up shop at 218 S. Forrest St.

“It seems like Stough-ton weathered everything (from the recession) a lit-tle bit better,” said Justin Moore, co-owner of Viking Embroidery, 220 W. Main St. “A lot of people that come in here, they want to shop at a local place.”

‘Up and coming’Conner saw the potential

here.Bellasazi opened Feb. 5.

It occupies space left vacant by the closing of Agape Salon.

Bellasazi is a full-service salon, offering hair, skin, massage and nail service. It hopes to add airbrush tanning. Visitors will see some changes if they went to Agape before. Bellasazi has four chairs instead of two, Conner said, and it has added services to go with the chairs.

Conner had owned the Bellasazi Salon in Janes-ville for two years, and she looked at places like Madison and Beloit when considering where to start a new branch.

But she said she had heard that Stoughton is “up and coming,” to go along with the praise she heard for its downtown. People said the downtown here was “alive,” and it was “impor-tant to me and I wanted to be a part of that.” That, combined with her research of the city’s demograph-ics and a look at the layout and color scheme of Agape, clinched it.

“For me, it was like a calling,” Conner said.

Lifelong dreamIt was also something of a

calling for Beverly Anstice to open up a storefront here.

Anstice spent 22 years in the Wisconsin Air National Guard, stationed at Truax Field, in Madison, before retiring in 2007. She then spent another four years working for the 115th Civil Engineering Squadron as a civilian and project manag-er for military construction projects.

She officially made the transition to entrepreneur on Feb. 8, when she opened Gemstone Jewelry and Engraving, 135 W. Main St., converting a hobby into a business.

“It’s just something I always wanted to do,” she

said of starting her busi-ness. “This has been a life-long dream of mine.”

Anstice has designed and created her own jewelry as a hobby for a couple of years. She engraves the pieces, too, if people wish. She has taken her work to arts and crafts shows and sold it on Etsy, an online marketplace. That helped prepare her for the start of a physical storefront on Main Street.

Like Conner, Anstice did her homework. She researched the demograph-ics here and the amount of traffic on U.S. Highway 51.

In looking for a loca-tion, she said she wanted to be “on a Main Street in a small town.” She found that here. That, coupled with the fact that she has lived in the Stoughton area for 25 years, meant setting up shop in Stoughton “just made perfect sense.”

The space she picked – right across the hall from Tater’s Cafe and Chop-house, which just opened in December – had been long vacant, but Anstice has quickly settled in.

Asked if she worried about the wobbly economy, she pointed out that jewelry has a longevity to it. It’s also uplifting for people.

“It’s just one of those products that has staying power,” she said.

And it represents a per-sonal passion.

“I really focused on what I enjoyed working with it,” she said of gemstones. “I just love the colors. I love the sparkle.”

DiningJust a few blocks from

Anst ice is where Sean Crowley plans to be pursu-ing his passion, as well.

Crowley this week said he hopes to open Big Sky Restaurant at 176 E. Main St. in early May. Big Sky would occupy the space left vacant since the February 2012 closing of Vincenzo’s, the wine and beer shop.

Crowley, who was pre-viously a chef in Aspen, Colo., said Big Sky will feature a blend of French and Italian fare. Dinner will be a little more fine dining, while lunch will be a little more fast-paced, he said.

C r o w l e y m o v e d t o Stoughton about a year and a half ago. He and his wife were looking for a commu-nity where they could not only live but also start a restaurant.

“We were looking for a small community that had a nice downtown area,” as well as residential and neighborhood presence,

Crowley said.Crowley has spent the

last year-and-a-half feel-ing out the community and found that it “needed some-thing a little more upscale.”

The Vincenzo’s spot a t t r a c t e d h i s i n t e r e s t because of i ts proxim-ity to the Stoughton Opera House, its location on Main Street and its size.

When Big Sky opens, it will be the latest addition to a growing selection of Stoughton eateries.

In December, Tater’s opened when a couple transplanted their business

from the Village of Ore-gon. That same month, an Arby’s opened at 900 Nygaard St.

And earlier this year, El Patron Mexican Grill opened at 1512 U.S. High-way 51, filling the void left by the closure of Ming’s Garden last year. There were already El Patron locations in Fort Atkinson, Sun Prairie and Edgerton.

“We were looking around here for a long time,” own-er Alejandro Meza said, calling Stoughton a “nice town” with friendly people.

Meza said he had been

looking for locations in town but could not find the appropriate space, particu-larly a space that used to house a restaurant.

The departure of Ming’s created that space.

“We like it (here),” Meza said.

Going downtownSo do others. Especial-

ly the downtown area, it seems.

A Day in the Country opened Oct. 4 at 175 E. Main St., swiftly filling the storefront left vacant by the departure of Gwen’s Frame Shop a few weeks earlier.

In early November, Then Again Consignment, which deals in clothing and house-hold furniture, opened in the long-vacant storefront at 120 E. Main St. Studio 184, a chalk paint store, opened in January at 184 W. Main St.

Joining it a block away was Viking Embroidery, a custom embroidery and screen printing shop at 220 W. Main St. Viking

Embroidery opened March 1 and of fe rs racks of Stoughton Viking apparel.

Justin Moore said his business partners have sim-ilar but separate operations in Columbus and Sun Prai-rie. Moore said he and one partner, Josh Stelzer, also had businesses in Madison before.

“It’s a rat race up there,” he said of Madison.

Moore lives in Stough-ton, and he decided to set up a shop here partly because of the lower cost of doing business here than in Madison. He also knew he wanted to be on Main Street, and the thoroughfare has not disappointed with its traffic.

“It’s almost free advertis-ing,” he said.

All the new business activity has been noticed by the owners of Atelier on Main, a bridal and specialty dress shop that opened in January at 117 Main St.

Longtime friends Nik-ki Rostowfske and Jenna Pechmann launched their first small business in a former storage area of the Thrifty White drugstore, which closed in August 2010.

Although the pair looked at multiple locations, they were drawn to Stoughton, especially the downtown area. Pechmann said part of that is that the pair are a couple of “history nerds” and found this downtown area rich in history.

The building they select-ed , for example , once housed a hotel. Its down-stairs apparently housed a speakeasy during the Prohi-bition era, they said.

A walk down the city’s picturesque Main Street is like a walk back through the history of the city itself, they said.

“We love Main Street in Stoughton,” Pechmann said.

New: Stoughton Main Street, cost of doing business lure entrepreneursContinued from page 1

Bellasazi Salon & Spa opened Feb. 5 at 218 S. Forrest St. into space formerly occupied by Agape Salon. Bellasazi is a full-service salon, offering hair, skin, massage and nail service. It hopes to add airbrush tanning.

Viking Embroidery, a custom embroidery and screen printing shop at 220 W. Main St., opened earlier this month. The shop offers a variety of Stoughton Vikings apparel. It is one of a half-dozen businesses that either have opened in recent months or will open along Stoughton’s Main Street.

Above, Nikki Rostowfske, co-owner of Atelier On Main, a bridal and specialty dress shop at 117 Main St., steams out a new dress that has just arrived. Atelier moved into space long vacant since the closure of the Thrifty White drugstore. At right, Beverly Anstice works in her new shop, Gemstone Jewelry and Engraving, 135 W. Main St., in the background.

April 11 event features new venueDEREK SPELLMANUnifi ed Newspaper Group

Stoughton area residents once again will be able to sample local businesses and local food at next month’s Community Expo.

This year the expo , which showcases local businesses and restau-rants, will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. April 11 at the Stoughton Wellness and Athletic Center (SWAC). It is the third year the Stoughton Chamber of Commerce has organized

the event, which allows local businesses to net-work with one another and affords the public a chance to see what Stoughton has to offer.

The venue is a change from the last two years, when the Expo (originally named the Business Expo) was housed inside the Mandt Center. Dave Phil-lips, the now former exec-utive director of the cham-ber, last week said the relo-cation does not stem from any dissatisfaction with the Mandt Center, which he said is a “nice venue,” although the SWAC offers more wide-open space, parking and visibility.

Phillips was replaced by Erica Dial as the new director March 20. He left the chamber to take a position as Dane County’s new director of economic development.

As for the Expo, Phillips said this year the chamber is expanding the number of restaurants at the event. Last year, the event lim-ited the number of eateries, which also provided free samples for the public.

“This year, we’re invit-ing everybody,” Phillips said.

Other than that, the event should be “pretty much the same” as the past two years, he said, although

the chamber is advertising more this year in hopes of boosting attendance.

Organizers are planning on 100 exhibitors this year, Phillips said. Last year, the Expo drew 70. A total of 40 had signed up as of March 20, he said. The deadline for businesses to register for a spot in the Expo was Tuesday, March 26.

The Expo started as a way to encourage residents to shop local by gather-ing local businesses in one location so visitors could see what the city has to offer.

As before, the expo is free and open to the public.

Boersma awarded CRS designation

Sid Boersma, a Realtor with Stoughton’s Coldwell Banker Suc-cess, has earned his Certified Resi-dential Specialist designation, a

special designation from the Council of Residential Specialists that recog-nizes sales success and training.

Boersma has been a member of the Coldwell Banker Success Stoughton office staff for four years, Coldwell Banker Success said in a news release announcing the honor. He and his wife Sharon Mason-Boersma have been Stoughton area residents for over 30 years.

The Council of Residential Spe-cialists was founded in 1976 as an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors, and only three percent of Realtors nationwide have met the requirements to get the CRS desig-nation. CRS agents have been in the real estate business three times lon-ger and complete three times more transactions than an average Real-tor, Coldwell Banker Success said.

Yoga co-op starts websiteThe Stoughton Yoga Co-op, 123

E. Main St., now has a website.Yoga lovers and novices can now

find information about upcoming workshops and classes, the instruc-tors and yoga itself by visiting stoughtonyoga.com. Visitors can also sign up for the co-op’s news-letter and get a glimpse of programs offered by Lhundup Chodon, a Bud-dhist nun, at the co-op.

The co-op offers regular yoga classes as well as special workshops.

Strojinc, Auby promoted to exec positions at Universal

Two company executives at Uni-versal Acoustic & Emission Tech-nologies have been promoted to top leadership positions, the Stough-ton-based company said in a news release.

The company’s board of direc-tors earlier this month elected Dick Strojinc to the position of Execu-tive Vice President. Strojinc had been senior vice president of global operations since 2011. In his new position, he will serve as the com-pany’s general manager and guide operational and strategic planning with direct supervision over opera-tions, sales, engineering, finance and global.

Also earlier this month, the com-pany announced Dawn Auby had been named vice president of sales. She will head the Americas market. Auby was previously director of OEM sales. She is a former business development manager at Universal AET and prior to that, a sales man-ager at Cummins.

“Recent expansion and renova-tion of two of our manufacturing facilities has allowed us to handle increases in volume and business opportunit ies ,” Universal AET board chairman Neal Brunner said in the news release. “Dick and Dawn’s expertise will allow us to maintain and grow business while better posi-tioning us to be the leading solutions provider in the industries we serve.”

Boys basketball

Driving to the All-State squadMcGlynn named as honorable mention All-State this seasonAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

When the season started, sophomore Nick McGlynn wasn’t even thinking of a potential shot at becoming Stoughton boys basketball’s second straight All-State honor-able mention.

McGlynn said he was only concentrating on coming in as a sophomore and playing behind the upperclassmen.

But after nearly averaging a double-double (14.6 points per game/9.8 rebounds), McGlynn was named to both the Associ-ated Press and Wisconsin Bas-ketball Coaches Association All-State lists as an honorable mention.

The honor also makes McG-lynn the youngest Stoughton player to be named All-State, but that doesn’t mean he is sat-isfied in his early high school career.

“Coach always tell us to be better than we were before, bet-ter than the next day, better than the next month, better than the next year,” he said. “So being named honorable mention All-State as a sophomore, I feel like I just need to go up from here.”

McGlynn is the second straight Stoughton player to make the lists, following gradu-ate Conner Kowalkowski after the 2011-12 season.

Add three straight sectional final appearances and the first state berth since 1939 this sea-son, and McGlynn’s honor is just another accolade the pro-gram has earned the last few years.

And that is something that head coach Matt Hockett said helped propel McGlynn even further in his game.

“Anytime you have a player that averages a double-double, it is a credit to him and what

he was able to accomplish this season, but also is a credit to his teammates and what they were able to do,” Hockett said. “We had the most unselfish group of boys that were able to feed the ball.”

McGlynn led Stoughton with 359 points and 245 rebounds this season, but many of those were due to senior point guard Shane Rowley (77 assists), sophomore guard Brady Brusegar (39 assists) and senior guard Ben Gerber (35 assists).

“I was blessed with some great teammates that believed in me,” McGlynn said. “They believed that I could do some-thing for the team, and they got me the ball.”

Many of the upperclassmen also aided McGlynn’s growth on the court, he said.

“It really shows how he improved throughout the year to be able to make this presti-gious list,” Hockett said.

McGlynn not only was bet-ter at offense as the season went on, but his defense also became a force, Hockett said.

McGlynn had 64 of Stough-ton’s 85 total blocks this sea-son, making it tough for oppo-nents to match up with the Vikings.

But the awards and stats still don’t mean as much as this year’s state run.

“It says a lot about our mind-set. Next. Next. Next. That type of mentality that gets a team deep into the playoffs,” McG-lynn said. “I was happy to be a part of that team.”

McGlynn, who nearly averaged a double-double, was named to the honorable mention All-State squads for both the Associated Press and the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association. McGlynn’s honor marks the second straight year Stoughton earned an honorable mention on the list (Connor Kowalkowski, 2011).

The S toughton Area Peace Coali t ion vowed to hold weekly protests against the Iraq war on the Main Street bridge. Orga-nizer Buzz Davis said the gatherings were a way for people to speak out against “the drive to war” and protest the policies of the Bush administration. The group had previously held a “teach-in” and “read-in” around Stoughton, draw-ing about 150 between the two events. Protesters ques-tioned the motive to go to war with Iraq despite the fact that few Iraqis were involved in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Fol-lowing their demonstration, protesters found their signs had been thrown into the river while the group took a break inside the senior cen-ter.

A Dane County Circuit Court judge sided with the city in upholding the city’s approval of a liquor license for Pick’n Save, but said the city might have vio-lated the state’s open meet-ing laws in the process. A restraining order was issued after several local liquor

ParentsAll the candidates either

have kids in local schools now or have had children attend here. Dirks and Tar-pinian are each seeking a second term.

Fergus was appointed to the board earlier this year to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of Ver-lynn Schmalle through next week’s election.

A biochemist by training, Fergus has been an active fitness and wellness instruc-tor and an active volunteer in the Stoughton Area School District. She has described herself as a parent who wants what is best for the kids in the district.

An office manager for InterWorks LLC, Tarpinian described herself as “just a mom” who ran several years ago because she cared about the district. Like Dirks and Fergus, she has talked about her own education as a board member and school official and how that can be asset.

“I guess what I bring to the board is experience,” she said in an interview.

She has made a special effort to be a well-informed member through workshops, conferences and seminars, she said. She has invited state lawmakers to talk to and with the Stoughton school board.

Tarpinian wants to height-en local awareness of how the state’s planned expansion of school vouchers will affect public schools. She touts the current school board’s ability to work together in the face of the turmoil from collective bargaining legislation and limited resources.

“We’ve made it about edu-cation and not politics, and that is a sign of a truly effec-tive board,” she wrote in a prepared statement.

Tough decisionsFrancis X. “Frank” Sul-

livan and Joe Freye have appeared in campaign lit-erature together, shared campaign signs and agree on

some key issues, including crafting a new referendum. (The school board has not yet decided whether to seek one or even discussed that pros-pect as length.)

Sullivan is an assistant attorney general with the state Department of Justice and has described himself as “the guy who asks the hard question” when it comes to issues such as the district’s enrollment struggles.

Freye is a master printer with Tandem Press at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who brings a “blue-collar” perspective and an inclination to listen rather than talk.

Sullivan said the school board doesn’t need a resolu-tion authorizing a referen-dum right now, but it does need a consensus to signal at least which direction it’s headed because it will need time to build support for the measure. He cites the lesson of a failed referendum that preceded the successful one.

Sullivan supports a refer-endum but fears it could be a “tough sell” in difficult eco-nomic times.

“It’s a hard time to ask people for money,” he said.

Dirks understands that anxiety when it comes to time to build support for a referendum. He even shares it to an extent.

Like Tarpinian, the assis-tant Rock County district attorney was first elected to the board in April 2010. He noted that the district’s strategic plan, approved in January, expressly states the district would seek funding if necessary.

But both Dirks and Tar-pinian have said part of the problem is that precisely how much the district would need to seek won’t be known until after the state budget is passed.

Ramping up a campaign now, Dirks said, would immediately prompt the question of how much the district needs. And the dis-trict doesn’t want to put out figure now only to have

revise it – up or down – after the state budget is passed. Those kind of revisions risk eroding the public’s trust.

“They’re going to ask how much, and we can’t answer that yet,” he said.

Teacher’s perspectiveGrasse has been a teacher

for 27 years with the Madi-son Metropolitan School District and had two sons go through the Stoughton school system.

She has made Stough-ton teachers the heart of her campaign and said she would bring an educator’s perspec-tive to the board. She has praised the board for publicly throwing its support behind school finance reform, but she has also criticized how the district handled the employee handbook last year and its contract negotiations with teachers.

She argues the district is losing good educators.

“My kids had a great edu-cation in Stoughton,” she told the Hub. “I’m concerned that might change” if teach-ers don’t feel valued and sup-ported.

“I’m really concerned that teachers have been left out of the discussions,” she said.

Freye has raised a similar argument.

“It (the handbook) wasn’t handled well. It wasn’t an inclusive process,” Freye said at a candidate forum last week.

He worries that dissatisfac-tion among teacher and staff will hurt enrollment if it con-tinues.

The school board last year passed that handbook to

replace collective bargain-ing agreements in the wake of Act 10, the state’s contro-versial legislation that all but ended collective bargaining rights for most public work-ers and is now in legal limbo because of lawsuits.

The Stoughton handbook lacked protections sought by teachers, including higher standards for firing and dis-cipline.

Staff relationsSullivan has described

himself as someone who can “get along with anybody” and seeks to heal the “con-flict between the board and the district’s employees.” He said some of the decisions about the handbook were not “well-taken” in terms of healing the community.

Sullivan credits the board, however, with considering revisions this year, such as striking language that warns an employee might be ter-minated unless they sign-off that they received the hand-book.

Board members have pushed back against some of allegations about the hand-book, which they had char-acterized as a document that provided both a starting point and flexibility in a time of extraordinary change.

Both Dirks and Tarpin-ian have said there is a lot of “misinformation”

circulating, and school offi-cials have said they see no evidence of the district los-ing staff because of the handbook. Retirements have remained comparable to past years and new teachers have said they came to Stoughton because of its reputation, they said.

Officials also have pointed to efforts taken last year to solicit input from staff while crafting the handbook and to changes that were made because of that input.

W h e n t h e d i s t r i c t ’ s employee relations commit-tee revisited the handbook this year and compared it to other districts, Dirks said, administrators also con-ducted two listening sessions at each school building to gather input again. He said that input is reflected in some of the revisions the school board is now considering.

As a public worker, a union member and the hus-band of a schoolteacher, Dirks said he understands the “pain of Act 10.”

He acknowledged staff morale was an issue but said the Stoughton school district had “absolutely nothing to do with” the legislation that essentially ended collective bargaining.

“Nobody talked to us before Act 10 was pro-posed,” he said at last week’s forum.

Praise for the districtIn an age of polarization,

Fergus told the Hub she is “not political” and doesn’t want this school board elec-tion to become political.

“I don’t think people real-ize how hard the district is working to make this a place where people really want to come and educate their chil-dren,” she told the Hub in her interview.

At last week’s forum, she praised the work the district has done already.

“I think that we are really ahead of the game with the programs we have started,” she said.

The district has expand-ed its dual-credit options through a partnership with UW-Whitewater, promoted literacy and used a partner-ship with Cummins Inc. to bring a fabrication labora-tory to the high school, she said. The high school choir this week is performing at Carnegie Hall. The Norwe-gian Dancers are headed to Arizona.

Both Dirks and Tarpin-ian have echoed those points and talked about the district’s new strategic plan and the public input that went into it.

Indeed, one point of agree-ment among the candidates is their praise for the Stough-ton Area School District. Another point of agreement is the need to let others know about it.

“Our schools are good,” Sullivan said last week. “People don’t know that our schools are good.”

Both he and Freye have talked about the district’s trend of declining enroll-ment; Freye said it is a com-mon concern, in addition to the referendum, of people that he speaks with during the campaign.

Part of that trend, school officials have said, is demo-graphics: The Stoughton area population has been stagnant compared to the rest of Dane County.

But Stoughton also has seen a growing number of families who live inside the district choose to send their child to another public school district, for a variety of reasons.

The district last week released the results of a sur-vey of district families that educate their child either at home, at a private school or another public school. Sul-livan said enrollment is one area where the district needs to ask the “hard questions.” District officials have point-ed to measures already under way – including the launch-ing of a new online education program – to help attract stu-dents.

Regardless, the trend of declining enrollment is not expected to reverse soon – and that has funding implica-tions for Stoughton under the state’s current school finance system. Nor can the district expect much help from the state and federal govern-ments as it weathers changes, both known and unknown, and weighs whether to turn to the community again.

“We are at a critical time,” Fergus said.

Donald Johnson

Donald B. Johnson, age 89, of Stoughton, died March 23, 2013, at Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg. He was born on a farm in Wil-low Springs Township, LaFayette County, March 31, 1923, to Glenn and Wanda (Ward) Johnson. He grew up in the Darlington area, and after graduating high school, he attended UW-Madison on a full aca-demic scholarship.

A World War II vet-eran, he was drafted into the US Navy in 1944 and stationed at Navy Yard in Pearl Harbor until 1946. He graduated in 1947 with a degree in civil engineer-ing and worked at Mead & Hunt in Madison until his retirement. Don was a highly respected civil engi-neer. Licensed to practice in almost every state, he worked on a variety of proj-ects –dams, cheese plants, bridges and airports.

His hobby was farming, and he farmed in the Verona and Stoughton areas raising cattle, sheep and chickens. He also built or remodelled several homes during his lifetime, including a home destroyed by fire in 1974. He had a keen interest in his family’s history and produced several booklets detailing their emigration from Norway and England and their life in the United States. Don was a member of First United Methodist Church in Madison, serving on the Board of Trustees for several years as well as serving on the board of the Methodist Hospital. He was a charter member of the Madison West Rotary Club.

Married to Shirley Erick-son in 1947 and then to Fonda Conquest Rogers in 1965, Donald had nine

children between two mar-riages, including two of Fonda’s that he loved as his own. He was fond of say-ing, “I am a poor man with many hungry children,” but that certainly was not the case. He provided well for his children, teaching them the value of hard work. Don was a man of many talents, which he passed on to each of his children. His legacy will live on in them and future generations.

Donald is survived by his wife, Fonda; sister, Mildred Mossman; chil-dren, Eric, Neil (Pamela), Barbara (Boyce) Puryear, Kr is t i (S teve) Margis , Donna (Gary) Tarpinian, Jackie (Jamie Jaeger) Gar-gano, LoRonda (David) Schroeckenthaler and Ran-dy (Nancy) Rogers; former daughter-in-law, Maxine Johnson; former son-in-l aw , Joseph Gargano ; grandchildren, Maria (Bri-an) Taber, Dan (Colleen) Johnson, Bradley (Mindy) Johnson, Andrew (Michelle Mead) Puryear, Rebecca Martinson, Adam Puryear, Kelsey and Matthew Tar-pinian, Monica Johnson, Tristen and Anneliese Gar-gano, Erika Margis, Tony (Jenny) Schroeckenthaler, Joshua (Amy) Schroecken-thaler, Joe Welborn (Shawn Bollig), Ryan (Kara) Wel-born, and Ben Rogers; 10 great-grandchildren; and many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Harland; son, Donny; and daughter-in-law, Patricia.

A Memorial Service will be held at 11:15, Saturday, April 6, 2013, at First Unit-ed Methodist Church, 203 Wisconsin Avenue, Madi-son, with luncheon to fol-low. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until the time of the service at the church.

In lieu of flowers or other expressions of sympathy, please consider a memorial to be designated at a later date in Donald’s name.The family would like to thank Angela Hall and the staff at Agrace Hospice for their wonderful care and sup-port to Don and his family.

Facing no opposition, three incumbent alders on the Stoughton Common Council are poised for new three-year terms.

Sonny Swangstu (Dist. 1) is completing his third term on the council. He serves as chairman of the Personnel Committee and is a member of the Pub-lic Works Committee, the Utilities Committee, the Cemetery Board and Board of Review.

He wants to serve anoth-er term on the council because “I’ve lived here all my life and I’m just trying to help and do the best I can for the city,” Swangstu said.

“There are some big issues coming up, l ike the Kettle West and the

deve lopment nor th o f town. I’d like to help us get more economic develop-ment, and I feel like I make common sense decisions.”

Swangstu said he is con-cerned about the council’s open seat with no one step-ping up to fill it.

“We’ve got to find a way to get more people involved in city govern-ment,” he said.

Ron Christianson (Dist. 2) was first elected in 2000, was defeated in his re-election bid in 2003 but ran again in 2004 to regain his seat in District 2. He chairs the Public Safety Committee and also serves on the Planning Commis-sion and the Redevelop-ment Authority.

Why run for another term?

“I think the biggest thing that motivates me is seeing

the results of my actions,” he said. “It obviously takes a long time for government to get things done. But see-ing things like Elven Sted take fruition and become reality, it’s very rewarding to see some of those things that you work on become reality.

“It is a lot of hours,” he added. “But it’s actually a privilege to sit there and realize that people voted you in.”

Tom Majewski (Dist. 3) began his first year on Common Council in May 2012, when he was appointed by the council to fill the vacant seat left by Carl Chenoweth, who was elected to the County Board. Majewski is a mem-ber of the Finance Commit-tee and the Public Works Committee.

As noted, he will run as

a write-in candidate on April 2 and has no declared opponent for the seat.

Majewski said he’s on council in order to help maintain and enhance the city’s high quality of life.

“My biggest concern is that with the budgetary constraints we have and what the state is mandating without funding, we’re in danger of losing our qual-ity-of-life amenities,” he said. “My concern is that we do not lose those and that we keep an eye on that ball so that the council con-tinues to serve the commu-nity in a positive way.

“We have a good qual-ity of life here and I would like to see it maintained, if not improved,” Majewski said.

A look at the unopposed aldersCity of Stoughton

City of StoughtonThere are no challenges

to incumbent members of the Common Council whose terms expire April – Sonny Swangstu (Dist. 1), Ron Christianson (Dist. 2), Tom Majewski (Dist. 3) and Eric Olstad (Dist. 4).

But there are a couple of twists . Majewski is running as a write-in can-didate because he was out of town and therefore missed the filing deadline for another term. And Ols-tad has decided not to seek reelection, but no one liv-ing in District 4 is running to fill his seat.

Interim city clerk Pili Hougan said a candidate may emerge after the April 2 election with write-in votes for the vacant seat. “If there isn’t a qualified candidate, then I believe the council would decide on how to fill the seat,” Hougan said.

TownshipsSurrounding townships

will also hold elections this spring.

In Pleasant Spr ings ,

current supervisor Mary J. Haley is running unop-posed for town chair. Her seat would have to be filled if she is elected.

The first supervisor seat features a race between David Scott Pfeiffer and Jan iece M. Bo lende r . Bolender, who served on the town’s Plan Commis-sion, was sworn into office Feb. 20. Pfeiffer is a mem-ber of the Pleasant Springs Sanitary District commis-sion.

Both are vying for the seat vacated by Don Lund, who moved to North Caro-lina earlier this year.

Incumbent supervisor Tom McGinnis is running

unopposed for Seat 2.In the Town of Dunn,

newcomer Jeffery Hodg-son looks to fill outgoing supervisor Stanley Sol-heim’s seat.

Longtime Town Chair Ed Minihan and Steve Greb are unopposed for their seats, as well.

In Rutland, all incum-bents are running unop-posed. Town Chair Dale Beske and board supervi-sor Milton Sperle will seek new terms. Town clerk Dawn George and treasur-er Kim Sime will seek the same positions.

Shawn Hil lestad and Nels Wethal are running for two constable seats.

In Dunkirk, chair Nor-man Monsen and supervi-sors Eric Quam and Ted Olson, constable Gregory Holte and treasurer Bonnie Smithback are all running unopposed.

County and stateVoters will weigh in on

several county and state measures, too.

Joe Parisi, current Dane County executive, will seek the seat again this spr ing . He i s running unopposed.

A countywide referen-dum on same-day voter registration is slated for Tuesday, as well. The ref-erendum asks if voters support allowing people to register to vote at the polls.

The Dane County Cir-cuit Court seat for District 16 is also up for grabs this spring.

Incumbent Rebecca St. John is being challenged by Rhonda Lanford, a Madison lawyer. St. John was appointed to the seat in August 2012 to fill a vacancy left by the retire-ment of Branch 16 Judge Sarah O’Brien.

In statewide races, pub-lic schools state superin-tendent Tony Evers faces a challenge from Don Pride-more, a Republican state representative from Hart-land.

I n c u m b e n t s t a t e Supreme Court judge Pat Roggensack will face a challenge from Ed Fal-lone.

At the pollsPolls are open

from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 2 for the spring election.

Voters do not need to bring a photo ID to vote if they are already registered.

NOTICE OF SPRING ELECTION AND

SAMPLE BALLOTAPRIL 2, 2013

OFFICE OF THE DANE COUNTY CLERKTO THE ELECTORS OF DANE

COUNTY:Notice is hereby given of a spring

election to be held in Dane County, on the 2nd day of April, 2013, at which the officers named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for each of-fice to be voted for, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this of-fice, are given under the title of the of-fice, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, for a referendum, if any, in the sample ballot below.

INFORMATION TO ELECTORSUpon entering the polling place,

an elector shall state his or her name and address and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. Where ballots are distributed to electors, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the elector shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that an elector who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the elector’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the elector of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

Where optical scan voting systems are used, the elector shall connect the arrow next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not ap-pear on the ballot, the elector shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided and con-nect the arrow on the write-in line. On referendum questions, the elector shall connect the arrow next to “yes” if in fa-vor of the question, or the elector shall connect the arrow next to “no” if op-posed to the question.

The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five min-utes time shall be allowed inside a vot-ing booth or machine. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the elector in casting his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the elector shall return it to the election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the voting booth, properly deposit the ballot and promptly leave the polling place.

After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the se-curity sleeve so the marks do not show. After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the booth, insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspec-tor for deposit. The elector shall leave

the polling place promptly.An elector may select an individual

to assist in casting his or her vote if the elector declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has dif-ficulty reading, writing or understand-ing English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the elector’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which rep-resents the elector.

The following is a sample of the of-ficial ballot:

NOTICE OF SPRING ELECTION AND

SAMPLE BALLOTSSTOUGHTON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT

APRIL 2, 2013OFFICE OF THE STOUGHTON

AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT CLERK

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE STOUGHTON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT:

Notice is hereby given of a spring election to be held in the Stoughton Area School District, on the Second day of April, 2013, at which the officers named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for each office to be voted for, whose nominations have been cer-tified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office, each in its proper column, together with the ques-tions submitted to a vote, for a referen-dum, if any, in the sample ballot which can be found with the Type B Notice for the City of Stoughton.

VOTE FOR NOT MORE THAN FOURWANDA GRASSESCOTT DIRKSFRANCIS X. SULLIVANBEVERLY K. FERGUSJOE FREYEDONNA TARPINIAN

INFORMATION TO ELECTORSUpon entering the polling place,

an elector shall state his or her name and address and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. Where ballots are distributed to electors, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the elector shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that an elector who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the elector’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the elector of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

At the spring election, where opti-cal scan voting systems are used, the elector shall connect the arrow next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a per-son whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided and connect the arrow on the write-in line. On referen-dum questions, the elector shall con-nect the arrow next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the elector shall con-nect the arrow next to “no” if opposed to the question.

The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five min-utes time shall be allowed inside a vot-ing booth or machine. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the elector in casting his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

If the elector spoils an optical scan ballot, he or she shall return it to an elec-tion official who shall issue another bal-lot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elec-tor. If the ballot has not been initialed

by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the elector shall return it to the election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the voting booth, properly deposit the ballot and promptly leave the polling place.

After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the se-curity sleeve so the marks do not show. After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the booth, insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspec-tor for deposit. The elector shall leave the polling place promptly.

An elector may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the elector declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has dif-ficulty reading, writing or understand-ing English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the elector’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which rep-resents the elector.

A facsimile of the official ballot may be found with the Type B Notice for the City of Stoughton.

Moved by Lawrence, second by Olstad, to suspend the rules and waive the second reading. Motion carried 12-0 on roll call.

Matt Dregne explained the Ordi-nance for the stewardship grant require-ments. Further discussion: Engelberger expressed concerns about long term ef-fects, once land is developed within the city. Attorney Dregne explained he is not sure how long this will be in effect, but he thinks it may be as long as state rules are in place. Kneebone said that the esti-mated range on a .22 is one mile, and he knows a family that lives in the area; he won’t support this. Hohol is fully in sup-port of this ordinance. Mayor Olson stat-ed the upper part of the map is wetlands and surrounding area is wetlands. Jen-son asked, if this is approved, can the state be petitioned to remove the hunt-ing and trapping provision if the land is developed? Dregne stated there is a pro-cess for a petition after the development has occurred. Lawrence asked if Mr. Ar-nett in favor of this? Arnett would be the future developer of this land. Lawrence doesn’t see a problem with this-it’s a good opportunity. Lynch explained the types of traps permitted for this area; the traps would also be clearly marked. A permit process and rules would have to be established. Lynch stated Parks and Rec. would be willing to take care of the permit process. Engelberger won’t support this.

Moved by Christianson, second by Suess to approve. Motion carried 9-2 on roll call with Kneebone and Engelberger voting noe, Selsor Abstained.
