Kettle Park Wests developer has been rolling out

plans in recent weeks for
the projects second phase,
including 20 single-family
homes to be built this year.
Phase 2 comprises 82 acres west
and north of the 32-acre commercial
center at the intersection of Hwys.

the plan Monday night, but it postponed most of the approvals Forward
Development Group was seeking as it
waits to hear feedback from alders.

Phase 1, meanwhile, did not have

any delays Monday, as the commission approved plans for two buildings a Kwik Trip and a multi-tenant retail center. Contractors are still
working on infrastructure in Phase 1
and expect to begin building a roundabout and the Wal-Mart Supercenter
this spring.
City staff, including Mayor Donna
Olson, are eager to see the start of
Phase 2 because it includes the potential for lots of new residential housing
a major motivation behind the citys
support for the project.
They anticipate the development sparking a large increase in the
citys tax base, along with new families moving to Stoughton to reverse
declining enrollment in Stoughton
schools.
But commissioners were cautious,
knowing that alders will be discussing the project in detail later this
week.
During a public hearing, Alds. Tom
Majewski and Michael Engelberger
asked the commission to postpone
several resolutions related to Phase 2,
saying recommendations to the council would meet significant opposition until a set of issues is resolved.
Ald. Scott Truehl, who also sits
on the Planning Commission, cited
three key matters he felt need to be
addressed: a street access point from
the second phase area to Hwy. 138;
a secondary access point to Hwy. 51;
and details of how roughly 16 acres
of parkland would be developed.

Despite the City of

Stoughtons proactive
approach to an ash treekilling beetle, its recent confirmed presence in Stoughton leaves a momentous
task for the city.
City urban forester Randy
Nelson told the Hub Monday
that the March 8 discovery
of emerald ash borer beetles led to three trees being
removed, and numerous
potential sightings around
town after that.
Nelson said the next steps
are to decide which trees to
remove, and determine the

tree inventory that also need

maintenance as well, Nelson said. Its not like we
can just walk away from the
entire rest of the urban forest.
The city began treating trees two years ago to
prevent the beetle, which
is native to East Asia but
has been spreading around
the U.S., and particularly
the Midwest, over the last
decade. The treatments can
cost about $10 per diameter
inch of a tree and are needed
every two years.
Since then, the insect has
been confirmed in Madison,
Verona, Oregon and McFarland, among others.
Deciding which trees to
continue those treatments
for and what trees to remove
will come next.
We are ahead of it, but
it is still a momentous task
that we have in front of us,
Nelson said.
He said the city would
be considering next steps at
upcoming committee meetings.
Nelson also mentioned
a preliminary date for an
EAB informational meeting at the senior center. The
event is currently scheduled
for April 12 at 10 a.m., and
Nelson encouraged anyone
with questions about EAB to
attend.
A tale of two journeys

The Stoughton Village Players hit the road in their production of Leaving Iowa last weekend.

continues its run this weekend at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 17 through Saturday, March 19 at the
Stoughton Village Players Theater, 255 E. Main St.

Below, Don (Mark Wegner) and Sis (Marisa Kahler) keep each other occupied during a long road
trip while Mom (Jean Gohlke) and Dad (Bryan Wenc) take a less rambunctious approach.

SHS choir bound for New Yorks Carnegie Hall
Scott De Laruelle
For the third time in the

last eight years, the Stoughton High School Concert
Choir will perform at perhaps the countrys most
famous and revered concert
venue Carnegie Hall.
The choir, led by Ryan
Casey, has been preparing
the music since mid-January, and have had to send
in-progress recordings to
Manhattan Concert Productions throughout the process.
Walking into Carnegie
Hall for the first time (when
it is closed to the public) is
an amazing experience,
Casey said in an email to
the Hub. Standing on that
stage and thinking about
everyone else who has been
there is a special moment.
The 76-member choir
will perform on March 28,
collaborating with nationally recognized guest conductors Dr. Timothy and
Sandra Peter, as well as
three other choirs Saint
Marys School Chorale
from North Carolina,
Lions Pride Chamber
Singers from California
and the Seminole Ridge
Community HS Chorus
from Florida.
In an email to the Hub,
Casey said there are about
150 singers total in the chorus.
The choir was chosen by
sending in an audition tape
to Manhattan Concert Productions, which selects and
invites choirs 15 months
in advance of the performance.
This will be the third

Sunday morning.
The Stoughton man was
the passenger in the car

responded to the scene at
the intersection of Baxter
Road and Wind Chime Way
at approximately 10 a.m.,
according to a release from
the Sheriffs Office.
Investigators reported
that the men were traveling

Stoughton police and
the Dane County Sheriffs
Department responded to
a 911 call at approximately 3:05 a.m. in the 2000

where the caller described
a masked man at the front

entry and waving a
handgun, the release said.
After they allegedly fled
on foot, officers located the
four suspects and arrested
them. Stoughton police Lt.
Dan Jenks told the Hub the
situation posed no danger
to the general public, as

it appears the home was
targeted and the suspects
might have been acquaintances with the residents.
The investigation was
ongoing as of Tuesday, and
the four had not been officially charged. Police also
recommended charges of

Susan Hanson
Loving mother, grandmother and

friend to many, artist, teacher and
humanitarian Susan Suzi Jo Hanson of Barrington Hills died March
8, 2016 in Barrington Hills.
Suzi was born Feb. 28, 1947,
to Robert and Arlene Hanson in
Stoughton. She was raised on Chicagos north side and was inspired
by her father, an acclaimed professional artist and her creative mentor. She was drawn to follow in
the arts as well, and she showed
remarkable artistic talent at an early
age. As a graduate of the University
of Illinois with a Bachelor of Fine
Arts, she continued her studies at
various institutions throughout her
life, including the Art Institute of
Chicago, Scottsdale Artist School
and the Fechin Institute, among
to Madison with her family. After
Genes graduation from pharmacy
school in 1959, the family lived in
Wisconsin Rapids, Biron, and later
Wisconsin Dells. In 1970 the family moved to Montfort, Wis., where
they owned and operated Meyer
Pharmacy and later Distlefink Gift
Shoppe.
Charlie was a faithful child of
God with a tremendous amount of
energy, love and care for her family and friends, and always ready to
share a song or favorite hymn with
those around her.
Charlie gave without reserve to
all who knew her, whether they be
family, friends or strangers. She
was a member of the United Methodist church choir, the Bayshore
Chapel choir, Montfort Hilltowners Homemakers Club and a 4-H
leader.
She shared her love of education by serving on the Iowa Grant
School Board for six years with
the unique distinction of being the
first woman to serve in that capacity. Spending time with family and
friends was her passion. She also
enjoyed square dancing, singing
and sewing. Charlie sewed for her
young family and made special outfits for her grandchildren and beautiful memory quilts for her family.
After raising her four children,
and working alongside Gene for
more than 17 years, Charlie went
back to college in 1986. She earned
a degree in elementary education
from UW Platteville in 1992, and
started her second career as a substitute teacher.
In 2001, Charlie and Gene
became snowbirds, spending

their winters in North Ft. Meyers Florida at Pioneer Village Park
and relocating there permanently in
2004.
Charlane is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Gene of
63 plus years; her four children,
Holden Alyce Eddy, Charles Harold (Nancy) Meyer II, Patricia Rey
(Robert Wangard) Meyer and Gena
Lee (James) Walker; eight grandchildren, Etrik James (Amanda)
Eddy, Joshua Steven Eddy, Jared
Clay Emmart, Adrianna Lane
Emmart, Leah Alyce Walker,
James Charles Walker, Benjamin
Charles Meyer and Julia Rose Meyer; and two great-grandchildren,
Lylli Elyse and Violet Elizabeth
Eddy. She was preceded in death
by her parents; sister Violette (Bubbles) Lee Holden; and parents-inlaw Harold and Viola Meyer.
The family would like to extend

Other special rules apply during election season.
Letters should be no longer than 400 words. They
should also contain contact information the writers

paper may confirm authorship. Unsigned or anonymous letters will not be printed under any circumstances.
The editorial staff of Unified Newspaper Group

from writers with ties to our circulation area.
Language, quotations, facts and research that are
contained in a letter but come from another source
should be attributed. Plagiarized material will not be
published. Unified Newspaper Group encourages lively public debate on issues, but it reserves the right to
limit the number of exchanges between individual letter writers to ensure all writers have a chance to have

HOPE
When author Bob Jacobson set out to write a book

for the Wisconsin Historical Societys Badger Bios
series, picking Norwegian-American inventor
Ole Evinrude
from the list
of possible
topics didnt
immediately Jacobson
stand out.
It never
would have occurred to me
to write about him, Jacobson said. But as I started
looking into his life, its
such a classic Wisconsin
immigrant success story
with so many elements of
the mythology that we like
to tell ourselves about people looking for a better life
in America, and, through
hard work and overcoming of obstacles, becoming
important contributors to
history.
Evinrudes story and
his journey from an ambitious farm boy to a successful businessman and
creator of the first commercialized outboard motor
has endeared many Wisconsinites over the years
and was shared with a new
generation when Jacobsons
book, Ole Evinrude and
His Outboard Motor, was
published in 2009. Jacobson will discuss his book
and share stories from Evinrudes life at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Livsreise Norwegian Heritage Center,
277 W. Main St.
Evinrude was born in
Norway in the 1870s and
immigrated to Wisconsin
as a child with his family, where they settled on
a farm near Cambridge.
His passion for boats and
inventing quickly took off
despite the disapproval
of his father (His father
would smash up (his boats)
and throw them in the fireplace, Jacobson said), and
after several failed attempts
at starting a business, Evinrude found international
success with the creation of
his outboard motor and the
Evinrude Motor Company.
He just kept plugging
away, and thats that gritty immigrant experience
of, OK, you get knocked
down, you dust yourself
off, go back to the drawing
board and come up with
the next idea, Jacobson
said. Thats what I think
is appealing to young readers about these stories, that
theres this grit and determination built into them.
Jacobson added that
while Evinrude is known
most prominently for his
motor, he had the chance
to become even more of a
household name, as he built
a fully functioning automobile around the same time
as Henry Ford.
Had he been a little luckier or been a more savvy
businessman, he could have

There is something in us which wants and needs to praise God.

There are times when our spirit just seems to overflow with joy and
we simply cant help praising God. There are many ways that this can
be done, and a variety of words which can express Gods praise, but
this seems to be a near universal sentiment. Most of the Psalms are
hymns of praise, and throughout the Bible we are told repeatedly to
praise God, even being told the seemingly paradoxical advice to praise
and thank Him in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Psalm
150 exhorts everything which has breath to praise the Lord! And
indeed, it sometimes seems that even the animals are praising the
Lord. The animal kingdom seems to have something joyous imprinted
in the very fiber of its being, for when we are moving and breathing
and fulfilling our God-given functions there is something inherently
joyful. So let all that you do be a praising of God, and remember that
our primary purpose is to praise God.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very
words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength
God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus
Christ.

KPW Phase 1: Site prep, more approvals

Bill Livick
After nearly two years of discord over

the first phase of KPW the 32-acre commercial center site preparation began late
last summer.
All the pads were completed by
December, and construction has mostly
been on hold through the winter.
But there has been plenty of progress
nonetheless. Construction crews have
moved more than 300,000 yards of dirt
between September and December, Forward Development Group manager Dennis Steinkraus told the Hub, and Kettle
Park Way, which will serve as the interior
road system, is 75 percent done, he told the
Common Council in January.
Steinkraus has claimed the center will

provide the city with $34 million of new
tax base. And he said he feels a sense of
urgency to get the approvals and start construction.
Planning the commercial center, while
at time contentious, was less complicated
than the second phase because it involved
six or eight lots total, compared with about
50 in Phase 2, planning director Rodney
Scheel commented in a recent Common
Council meeting.
In his January presentation to the council, Steinkraus said the new access off
Hwy. 51 at Jackson Street is nearly complete and that construction of the other
access point a roundabout at Hwy. 138
and Kettle Park Way will begin around
June 1.
Committee of the Whole:

addressing concerns
Bill Livick
Alds. Michael Engelberger, Tom

Majewski and Scott Truehl have
a lot of questions for Kettle Park
Wests developer.
Theyre concerned about a second phase access point to Hwy.
138 and also that there is only one
approved entry on Hwy. 51 a

access.
Their feelings are shared by other
members of the Common Council,
as well as city staff. And theyll all
get a chance to discuss it Thursday,
March 17, at a Committee of the
Whole meeting designed to delve
more deeply into the details.
On Monday, Engelberger, chair
of the Public Safety committee, told
the Hub that both police chief Greg
Leck and fire chief Scott Wegner
also have safety concerns about the
lack of access.
Forward Development Group
has said the logical place to gain
that access to Hwy. 138 would be
to extend Oak Opening Drive a bit
further south to the highway.
But as city planner Rodney
Scheel has pointed out, theres no
guarantee the DOT would approve
an access point to Hwy. 138 beyond
what it has authorized for the commercial center.
And without that DOT approval,
its difficult to predict what might
happen with the developers plan
for Phase 2.
I could never support development that far south until we get the
connection to 138, Truehl said
Monday.
Majewski also wants to see
changes to the Phase 2 plan relating to a roughly 16-acre park that
would sit between Oak Opening

He said the Phase 2 plan does
not conform to a detailed neighborhood plan the city approved last
year. He raised the issue at a Parks
committee meeting but told the
Hub the developer took only a halfstep to comply with the approved
plan.
That plan showed a park that
is skirted on all sides by streets,
Majewski said. The developer
gave us a plan for Phase 2 that is
surrounded by private property.
Steinkraus adjusted his plan after
the Parks meeting and removed
some of the homes around the
park, but not all of them. He told
the Hub theres no city ordinance
that says a development cant have
homes next to a park.
Majewski said he was surprised
to learn that the Phase 2 plan was
going to the Planning Commission
Monday without changes to meet
the approved neighborhood plan.
I assumed that none of this is
set in stone and that we were in the
middle of a negotiation, and the

Oak Opening Drive would
basically dissect the area, running from the northeast corner

Jackson Street would intersect Oak Opening Drive from

Other main components of

said.
A major hitch in the developers plan is that he hasnt yet
won DOT approval to take Oak
Opening Drive all the way south
to Hwy. 138.
The commercial center in
Phase 1 does have Kettle Park

where a roundabout will be
built.
But most alders have
expressed the opinion that

Interesting ways to enjoy travel in retirement

Research indicates that traveling
is at the top of the list of interests
motivating todays men and women
over the age of 50. Seniors are perhaps the most likely demographic to
indulge their love of traveling.
Retirement leaves lots of time
for recreation, and many choose to
spend that time on the road. Travel
also can be improve adult longevity, according to geriatricians at the
University of Arkansas.
Those in the travel industry
understand that men and women
over 50 comprise a large percentage
of their customers, and have catered
many travel packages toward this
influential demographic.
The following is a look at some
of the more popular travel opportunities for men and women over 50.
Genealogical tourism: This
is one of the fastest-growing markets in vacation travel. Genealogical tourism involves individuals
traveling to areas of historical significance for their families, such as
churches where past relatives may

have married and villages where

grandparents or cousins once resided or were employed. This can create a tangible link to ones past and
open up more opportunities to learn
the varied genealogical history that

has shaped a family, and even ones
personal identity.
Extended vacations: Seniors
may have the capacity to devote
more time to travel and not be

caged in by strict time constraints.
That makes them eligible for
extended vacations. These can
include long-term rentals in tropical locales, several-week sightseeing cruises or guided tours overseas that touch on several different
countries or cities during the trip.
Off the beaten path: Adventurous travelers may not be content
to stick to the resort lifestyle or
standard vacation options. Active
men and women over 50 are charting their own vacation courses
with bucket list-style vacations
that may be off the beaten path.
Travelers who have always aspired
to climb a mountain or see a rain
forest may be inclined to realize
these goals as they get older. Nontraditional tours can include living
like indigenous peoples or following the footsteps of early explorers.
All-inclusive tours: All-inclusive packages remain a popular
option for travelers of all ages.
These vacation packages charge

one price for accommodations,
entertainment, sightseeing, food
and many other amenities. Allinclusive vacations remove some
of the headaches associated with
organizing various components of
travel so that a person can focus on
relaxation and having fun.
Singles meets: Single vacationers over 50 may want to meet
other men or women in their age
bracket in the hopes of finding
romance. These vacations double
as relationship mixers and give
men and women the opportunity to
mingle with others in similar situations without the pressure of traditional dating.
Travel is a way to see the world,
meet new people and experience
various cultures. Seniors increasingly embrace travel because they
have both the time and the means
to take vacations.

How to make new friends after a move or other life event

Downsizing and other life
changes often find seniors
leaving their comfort zones
to move to new neighborhoods or regions of the
country.
It can be difficult to leave
those comfort zones behind,
especially when it means saying goodbye to close friends
or family members. Establishing new social circles as
a senior can be challenging.
But with a little effort and
the right attitude, seniors can
meet new people and enjoy
the excitement that comes
with new friendships.
Join a club. If you have
a particular hobby or interest, rekindle it in your new
location. Find a local gardening club, church-sponsored organization or fitness center where you can
meet like-minded men and
women. Ask the real estate
agent who helped you relocate to make suggestions on
where to find community
information and read community notices in the local
newspaper.
Get a dog. Dogs make
great companions inside of
the house and also serve as
an ice-breaker when you
are outdoors. Take plenty of
walks and take advantage of
opportunities for conversation when people come up

interviews and discussions
for the newly and nearly
retired not about traditional financial advice, but
the possible psychological
pitfalls to this major life transition.
Retirement is one of
lifes biggest changes, but
theres no manual for this
psychological shift, Conroy said. You cant just flip
a switch. It takes time, at
least a year and maybe more
to adapt.
Larson said one of the
main reasons the two started
Retiree Rebels is because no
one was talking about things
like the first rocky year of
retirement, figuring out your
next direction, making new
friends, or finding a job.
Statistics show up to 80
percent of new retirees may
be looking for work, many
out of financial necessity.
But jobs appropriate for
older workers can be hard to
find, Conroy said.
Ageism is one of the
factors behind the rising
depression and suicide rates
for people over 65, she
said. There is a societal
undercurrent that says retirees are old, worn out and
... incapable of productive
work anymore, which is not
true. You only have to look
around today to see lots of
active seniors.
There is also the prevailing belief that retirement is
a vacation-like existence.
Societal pressure to conform
to that myth makes it difficult for seniors to pursue
new ambitions, whether its
an artistic urge, a new job or
perhaps getting involved in
community activism. Larson
said its a strange wall to run
into for seniors.
Well-meaning family or
friends pressuring retirees to
take it easy and relax can
thwart a retirees dreams of
being a writer or maybe a
local alderperson, she said.
What todays seniors need is
support to break through stereotypes that say they are too
old to do anything of value
with their lives.
Conroy said thats exactly
why the group is named the
Retiree Rebels.
These days, a retiree
needs to rebel against ageist
assumptions in order create
a new and purposeful life for
themselves, she said.
The Retiree Rebels and
their message of redefining
retirement are catching on.
They were recently featured
on WMTV-TV news report
and several radio programs,
including Wisconsin Public
Radio. A Wisconsin State
Journal editorial on working seniors reached several
thousand retirees nationwide
through social media.
To further discuss contemporary retirement issues,
Conroy and Larson will
lead a discussion from 1-3
p.m. Thursday, April 7 at
the Fitchburg Senior Center.
They invite new retirees to
bring questions and concerns,
and older retirees to share
their experiences and advice.
My retired friends were
the ones who first warned
me what to expect from my
beginning years of retirement, Larson said. I feel,
through Retiree Rebels,
were passing along that
help to others.
Diet, exercise needs change with age

Maintaining a healthy weight is
important at any age.
But avoiding being overweight
or obese can be particularly crucial for seniors, considering many
illnesses are tied to body weight.
Maintaining a healthy immune
system also can require eating a
balanced, nutritionally sound diet.
The Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Center at Durham Medical Center in Virginia
says people need to change how
they eat for every decade they
reach. Caloric intake should be
reduced because individuals are
generally moving around less,
have less muscle and their metabolic rates decline. People who
find that they are having trouble
losing weight in their 50s and
older may be basing weight-loss
goals on calorie recommendations
for younger people.
One challenging thing about
eating less overall is supplementing with more nutrient-rich foods.
Older bodies still require similar
amounts of protein, vitamins and
minerals as younger ones, but
older men and women must balance that need with their need to
consume less calories. Consuming more fruits, vegetables and
lean protein sources, including
beans, and choosing whole grains
over refined starchy foods can be
the key.
Photos by Metro News Service
Healthy eating paired with moderate exercise remains one of the

best combinations for healthy weight loss or weight maintenance.
Watch what you drink, as well.

Soft drinks and other sugary
beverages may be packed with
calories you dont need. Choose
unsweetened beverages and opt
for water as much as possible. Protect yourself against dehydration,
which can be harder to detect as
you get older.
In addition to modifying food
and beverage choices and reducing
their calorie intake, seniors should
continue to exercise. Healthy eating paired with moderate exercise
remains one of the best combinations for healthy weight loss or
weight maintenance.
The goal is to consume fewer
calories and expend more energy.
While cardiovascular exercises
can be a good way to get the heart
pumping and stimulate your metabolic rate, as you age you should
perform strength-training and
weight-bearing exercises as well.
Muscle mass naturally diminishes with age, and according to the
Mayo Clinic, if you avoid strength
exercises you can eventually lose
muscle and increase the percentage of fat in your body. Strength
training also helps you develop
stronger bones, which can help

prevent fractures. In addition, as
you gain muscle, your body will
begin to burn calories more efficiently, making your time in and
out of the gym more productive.
Apart from diet and exercise,
aging adults may need to consult
with their doctors about nutritional supplements. Your body
may produce less stomach acid
as you get older, making it more
difficult to absorb vitamins from
food, including vitamin B12 and
vitamin D.
Aging skin is less able to

Retirement savings for late bloomers

nearing retirement. Substantial debt may delay your
retirement and can greatly
reduce your quality of life
during retirement. If you
still have substantial debt,
eliminate that debt before
you start saving additional
money for retirement. Once
your debt slate has been
wiped clean, you can then
increase your retirement
contributions.
Eliminate unnecessary
expenses. If your retirement savings are low (many
financial advisors now
advise men and women that
they will need at least 60
percent of their pre-retirement income each year
they are retired), start cutting back on unnecessary
expenses and reallocate
that money toward retirement saving. Cutting out
luxury items, such as vacations to exotic locales or
country club memberships,
is one way to save money.
But dont overlook the simpler ways to save, such as

more often.
Downsize your home.
Many empty nesters downsize their homes as retirement nears, and doing so
can help you save a substantial amount of money.
If the kids no longer live
at home or if you simply
have more space than you
will need after retirement,
downsize to a smaller, less
expensive home. Monitor the real estate market
before you decide to downsize so you can be sure to
get the best deal on your

current home. Downsizing
saves on monthly utility
bills, property taxes and a
host of additional expenses.
Downsizing also means less
maintenance, which gives
you more time to pursue
your hobbies upon retiring.
Take on some additional work. While you
may have long felt you
would slowly wind down in
the years immediately preceding retirement, taking
on some additional work
outside of your current job
is a great way to save more

Tips for grandparents helping to raise children

As retirement age approaches,
many older adults envision themselves downsizing and moving to
a quaint community to enjoy their
golden years in as relaxing a fashion as possible. However, for a
growing number of seniors, their
retirement years are being spent
helping to raise grandchildren.
Although being raised by grandparents may not be the ideal situation for all parties involved, such
situations are a necessity for many
families. Seniors who are once
again thrown into the caregiver
arena may need a crash course in
childcare or a few pointers on parenting in the modern age.
Get the right equipment.
Children certainly require a lot
of gear, more than grandparents
likely used when raising their own
children. Certain safety requirements are in place to safeguard
young children, and that often
means investing in new cribs, car
seats, high chairs, and other items.
Grandparents should resist the
temptation to use old items they
may have kept in storage, as such
items may no longer be safe and
could put grandchildren at risk for
injury.
Gather important documents. Grandparents should keep
pertinent documents in one easily accessible place in their homes
should an emergency arise. These
include birth certificates, health
immunization records, death certificates (if the childs parents are
deceased), dental records, school
papers, citizenship papers and
proof of income and assets.
Speak with an attorney. Lawyers can help grandparents wade
through legal arrangements, such
Navigating multigenerational households
A study of data from the Rand Corporation found that, of the four million children
living with their grandparents in the United States, 2.5 million live in three-generation households. Nearly 1.5 million live in split-generation households or ones in
which grandparents are raising their grandchildren.
as filing for custody, guardianship

or adoption. Options vary depending on where petitioners live, but
lawyers can provide peace of mind
to grandparents concerned about
their grandkids futures.
Investigate financial assistance. Seniors may not earn the
income they once did and may be
on assistance programs or living
off of retirement savings. Grandparents who find themselves caring for a child may be eligible
for financial assistance. The
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families is a joint federal and
state program that can provide
need-based financial assistance.
The AARP or the organization
GrandFamilies may be able to put
grandparents in touch with financial advisors in their areas.

Contact schools and daycare
centers. School-aged children
will need to be enrolled in school.
Grandparents should contact the
department of education where
they live to learn about local
school systems, especially when
grandkids are moving in with
their grandparents. Some grandparents can qualify for free or
low-cost daycare, and such programs can be discussed with local
Social Services offices. Enrollment in school or daycare can
provide grandparents with muchneeded free time during the day.
Find emotional support.
Taking care of grandchildren is
Caring for their grandchildren can elicit many feelings in grandparents, from nervousness to excitement about a fresh face around the
house. Raising grandkids can be overwhelming for elderly men and
women, but the following are a few tips that can make the process
easier.
Explore your feelings. When you acknowledge your feelings,
you are on the right path to making things work and recognizing possible obstacles.
Expect mixed feelings from others. Grandchildren and your
own children also may be apprehensive about this new living situation. Encourage everyone to share their thoughts and come to a consensus on how things will be done. Expect it to take some time to
establish a schedule, and dont be discouraged by any initial behavioral problems.
Take care of yourself. Grandchildren, particularly young ones,
can have a lot of energy and may require constant attention. Caring
for such lively youngsters can be taxing on grandparents, who must
make their own health and nutrition a priority. Give yourself some
time for recreation and rest. Have grandchildren help out where they
can. Dont feel you have to spend every moment entertaining them.
Ask for help when needed. Reach out to friends or community members if you are feeling overwhelmed. There are a number of
resources available to you, and many organizations, including AARP,
have their own tips for assisting three-generation households.
a full-time job. At times, grandparents may feel stressed or out
of sorts. Having a strong support
system available can help grandparents work through the peaks
and valleys of this new and unexpected stage in life. Church- or
community center-based counseling services may be available.
Grandparents also can check
with their healthcare providers to
determine if counseling or therapy sessions are covered under
their plans.
Caring for grandchildren is a
life-changing event. Although it
can be fulfilling, it also requires
a lot of energy and commitment. But grandparents neednt
go it alone, as there are numerous resources available to seniors
who suddenly find themselves
caring for their grandchildren.

The Stoughton High School girls basketball bench cheers after Stoughton grabbed a lead in the first half Friday in the WIAA Division 2 state semifinal against Onalaska at
the Resch Center in Green Bay. The Vikings defeated Onalaska 59-56 and fell to New Berlin Eisenhower 46-42 Saturday in the state final to finish as the D2 runner-up, the
best finish in school history.

It wasnt the storybook ending the

Stoughton High School girls basketball team dreamed of after reaching
its first ever state title game, but taking home the WIAA Division 2 runner-up silver trophy still left a lasting
impact on the girls.
The Vikings dropped a 46-42
thriller to New Berlin Eisenhower
that came down to the final seconds,
but when the tears dried up, the girls
were all smiles as they hoisted the
runner-up trophy.

always had this goal in mind to make

goals to go one step farther and make

short in our last one, but that doesnt
define our whole season.
Our whole season was defined by
our work ethic, our leadership and
our will to fight.
Stoughton (25-3 overall) came
into the final with a 24-game win
streak in what was already an historic season. The Vikings won their
first conference title in 14 years,
going 11-1 in the Badger South.
They added regional and sectional
titles, including an overtime winner
over Union Grove in the sectional
final.
And on Friday, Stoughton continued its run with a 59-56 win over
Onalaska in the state semifinals, and
it all wrapped up with the best finish
in school history Saturday.

State: Stoughton holds off Onalaska, falls to New Berlin Eisenhower in the D2 final
graduation, and that is something that the eight returners can use as motivation to
come back next season.
Juniors Marissa Robson,
Kendra Halverson, Payton Kahl, Aly Weum, Sydney Johnson, Ally Slager,
Corinne Olson and Lydia
Schultz are all expected to be
back.
It is a very special group
of kids, and I think this years
group of seniors they
taught these juniors what it is
like to show up to gym everyday, Stoughton head coach
Brad Pickett said. You hope
that once you get a taste of
something like this, you want
to continue to get better and
improve in the offseason.
It is going to be neat the
next three to four weeks
when the weather starts
warming up and you see second-, third- and fourth-grade
girls out in the driveways
shooting baskets. That is the
really cool thing about this
group is the image they gave
to the Stoughton community
and those younger girls.
In the finals, the Vikings
built a nine-point lead with
7 minutes, 31 seconds to go.
A 3-pointer by Hobson and
a free throw by Kahl made
it 31-23, and a little later
Kahl scored on a layup to put
Stoughton up 36-27.
But New Berlin Eisenhower would not go away.
Freshman Julia Hintz drained
a 3-pointer, and senior Abby
Thyne followed with another
3-pointer to cut the Vikings
lead to 36-33.
Sophomore Katie Ludwig followed with a basket
and a foul and although she
missed the free throw, senior
Chelsea Brackmann followed
with a rebound and a basket
to put the Lions up 37-36.
Senior Emalie Hahn finished the 12-0 run with two
free throws, and Stoughton
would never lead again.
New Berlin Eisenhower
head coach Gary Schmidt
said the halftime adjustment was to close the gap
on the boards. Stoughton
outrebounded the Lions 16-6
in the first half and had six
second-chance shots to the
Lions one.
I have a lot of respect
for Stoughton. We knew we
were going to be in a battle.
They are very physical and
very strong, Schmidt said.
We made some adjustments
at half, and I thought that at
about the 10-minute mark,
we really turned it on and
made a difference.
Johnson hit a layup with
2:38 left to cut Stoughtons deficit to 41-40, and
Brackmann missed three of
four free throws to keep the
Vikings in the game. But a
basket by Robson with six
seconds left was the last
Stoughton would get.

The Stoughton High School girls basketball team finished the season 25-3 overall en route to the first ever state final berth in school history.
Junior Kendra Halverson sprints after a loose ball in the second half
against Onalaska Friday.
Senior Hannah Hobson drives in for a layup against New Berlin

Eisenhower Saturday in the D2 state final. She combined for 27
points, eight rebounds, three assists and three steals in the semifinal and final.
I think maybe we got a

little impatient, Pickett said.
We talked about going with
that killer instinct and putting
teams away We maybe
wanted to spread the floor a
little bit more, but again the
reason we went on that run
is because we were attacking and you dont necessarily want to stop what you are
doing.
The first half was backand-forth with Hobson draining a 3-pointer to put the
Vikings up 9-8. Boettcher
and Robson followed with
baskets, Halverson drained
one of two free throws to
make it 15-12.
Robson and Hintz traded
baskets to finish the half with
the Vikings leading 17-14.
Coming out here today
we knew that this was a good
team and it was going to be
two good teams going at each
other, Robson said. We
came out with such a good

fight. They outworked us
sometimes, and sometimes
we outworked them. It was
all 50-50 balls.
Robson finished with 12
points and eight rebounds,
while Hobson added 11
points. Kahl and Halverson chipped in nine and six
points, respectively.
State semifinals:
Stoughton 59, Onalaska

The Vikings made their
first state final with a 59-56
win over Onalaska in the D2
state semifinals
Our community has really
come together to support us,
and it was just really awesome to be a part of this team
that is a part of school history, Hobson said.
It is pretty awesome to
represent our school and do
something not a lot of teams

have done in Stoughton,
Kahl added.
The Vikings held a ninepoint lead, 53-42, after Halverson knocked down two free
throws with 1:31 seconds
remaining, but the Hilltoppers full-court pressure started to get to Stoughton.
The Vikings had four turnovers in the final minute, and
that allowed Onalaska (216) to cut Stoughtons lead to
one, 57-56, with six seconds
left. Halverson knocked
down her free throws after
being fouled, however, and
junior Tayla Stuttley missed
a running 3-point attempt at
the buzzer.
Stoughton went 14-for-16
from the free-throw line in
the final five minutes to seal
the win.
We will shoot free throws
every day and we are kind
of up-and-down sometimes
with our free-throw shooting. For the most part when
we need to, we make them,
Pickett said.
The Vikings trailed 31-27
early in the second half after
Stuttley who finished with
30 points hit a basket, was
fouled and drained the free
throw.
But defense led Stoughton
all season, and once again it
was a catalyst for the Vikings
to quickly retake the lead
with an 11-0 run, forcing
three turnovers and holding
the Hilltoppers scoreless for
5:29.
This game really wasnt
really any different than
every other game, Kahl
said. We always rely on our
defense when things arent
working offensively. We
always know how to step in
and help each other.
You look at a game that
is this close, it ends up being
huge to keep them from scoring and get some buckets to
fall, Pickett added. We got
stops during that stretch and
executed well offensively to
battle back. We have been
in overtime games. We have
been down at half. We have
been in different situations
this year, and to have that
experience obviously helped
out at this level.
Sophomore Emma
Gamoke who scored all
nine of her points in the second half hit a 3-pointer
to cut Stoughtons lead to
38-34, but the Vikings continued to make the free-throw
line and build on their lead.

(Stoughton) is quick.
They are athletic. They are
here for a reason, Onalaska
head coach Matt Kelliher
said. They won the Badger
South, which is a very difficult conference. It is a heck
of a basketball team, plain
and simple. They are just
long and give you fits.
The Vikings started the
game on a 9-2 run with a
3-pointer by Hobson and
baskets in the paint by Robson, Kahl and Gardner. However, Stuttley and senior
Josie Thomas combined for
14 points to cut Stoughtons
lead to 19-18 with 6:53 left in
the first half.
Thomas scored later to
put Onalaska up 22-21, but
Kahl came back with a layup.
Hobson finished the half
with two free throws to give
Stoughton a 25-24 lead.
I just know we played our
style of basketball and, looking back on it, I feel good
about it, Hobson said.
Hobson finished with 16
points, six rebounds and
three steals, while Halverson picked up 14 points and
seven rebounds. Kahl added
12 points and three steals,
and Robson chipped in eight
points and six rebounds.
Gardner had seven points and
four rebounds.
This is a special group,
and they get a chance to do
a special thing tomorrow,
Pickett said. I couldnt
think of 15 young ladies that
deserve it more. They work
hard every single day, and
the community and school
support has been unbelievable.
I think Stoughton kind of
invaded Green Bay a little
bit with our student section
and our community, and that
is cool. Our guys absolutely
deserve it.

What is TIF
postponing the issue.

Specifically, Selsor said
he felt the 15 percent threshold for citizens to force the
city to hold a permissive
referendum the results of
which would be binding
was too high. He called the
requirement very cumbersome for citizens.
This sounds very friendly to those who might be
opposed to a project, but
its not, Selsor said during
discussion of the resolution.
Its a huge project to get 15
percent of voters to sign a
petition.
After the vote, committee chair Christianson (D-2)
said he was disappointed
that anyone would oppose
the draft policy after the
committee spent almost two
years working on it.
He told Selsor the committee had followed his suggestions in drafting the new
policy, and he defended the
15 percent threshold.
There should be some
burden to force a referendum, he argued. You cant
have five people say we
want a referendum and then
just hold one.
Swadley (D-1) explained
that hed asked to have the
permissive referendum language included in the TIF
policy because during the
discussion of the commercial center, most people
werent aware that it was an
option. Hirsch and Selsor
said it would give residents
a chance to have more say
over projects that require the
city taking out a long-term
loan, and they didnt see a
downside.
Despite Christiansons
concerns he called it a
detriment to development
he voted for it anyway,
along with Hirsch, Selsor,
Engelberger and Majewski.
Earlier he had said his
hope in forwarding the policy was to bring the council
and the community together.
Lets be a performing council that gets things
done, he said.
Swadley urged his colleagues to support the new
policy, despite the fact that
its not perfect.
I think we should
approve it tonight because
itll be a much better policy
than the one weve had in
place, he said.

for a unanimous vote to
adopt the new policy.
The council also decided that the two-thirds vote
to deviate from the policy
would mean two-thirds of
alders present during the
time of the vote, not of the
entire 12-member body.

Including the requirement
was seen as something of a
victory for alders who had
opposed using the taxpayer
financing mechanism for

But in what could be
interpreted as a win for supporters of that TIF deal,
an attempt to make it easier for the public to force
a permissive referendum
when the city elects to borrow money with more than
a 10-year payback schedule
failed.
Some alders, including
Regina Hirsch (D-3) and

Michael F. Dolan, age 70,

passed away at his home on
Tuesday, March 8, 2016.
He was born in Chicago
on June 27, 1945, the son
of Martin and Ruby Dolan.
Mike was drafted into the
assistant vice president. Jack
returned to Wisconsin as the
registrar for Madison School
of Cosmetology in 1975. He
then returned to insurance as
a sales agent for Prudential
Insurance before returning
to education for the Sparta
School District as assistant
principal and athletic director
in 1980.
After serving at three
school districts over three
decades, Jack retired in 1999.
As a teacher, coach, athletic
director and assistant principal, he had a positive impact
on the lives of thousands of
students, hundreds of teachers and countless parents and
community members. During
his retirement, many students
reached out to him to express
their gratitude for his influence in their life.
The theme of Jacks life,
Serving God by Serving
Others, was apparent in
everything he did. He was
involved in a variety of service organizations including
serving as a board member
for the Monroe County Local
History Room for 19 years
and Habitat for Humanity for
over a decade. He also spent
countless hours as a volunteer for the Sparta Coalition
for Youth, the Boys and Girls
Club and Lifeline Services.
Additionally, he was an active
committee member at his
church, Trinity Lutheran, and
was involved in mission projects locally and abroad.
Jacks love of football
continued throughout his
life, first as a player and
later as an influential coach.
Jack played football and lettered all four years as a high
school student at Sparta High
School, and in college was on
two all-conference teams in
1955 and 1956. As he began
his career in education, Jack
drew upon his athletic ability
and began coaching the Royall High School team, which
he led to three conference
championships in 1958, 1959
and 1960. Later, as the assistant varsity football coach at
Madison East High School,
he coached several players
who went on to play successfully for the University of
Wisconsin-Madison Badgers.
In 1996, he was placed on the
Sparta High School Wall of
Fame for his involvement in
academics and sports. True
to the Spartan way, his passion for football didnt stop
after he retired he continued
to cheer on his local Spartans as well as collegiate and
professional teams. Jack and
Lois loved traveling together,
enjoying journeys to 51 countries and all 50 states. Jacks
passion for genealogy followed him throughout these

trips as they traveled to destinations of ancestral heritage.
He successfully documented
his family lineage back to the
1600s.
Jack is survived by his
wife of 55 years, Lois (Larsen) Harr; four daughters,
Shara Fredrickson (Parnell)
of Hayward, Wis., Rhonda
Love (Perry) of Babson Park,
Fla., Jeanne Miller (Gene)
of Verona, Wis., and Marcia
Harr Bailey (Todd) of Madison; seven grandchildren,
Kyle, Kyra, Carly, Haley,
Helena, Celie and Jackson; sister, Nancy Jackson
of Golden, Colo.; and four
brothers, Jim Harr (Judy) of
Norwalk, Wis., Tom Harr
(Judy) of Salmon, Idaho,
Jeff Harr (Susan) of Sparta,
Wis., and Mark Harr (Chris)
of Almond, Wis.; and many
loving friends. He was preceded in death by his parents,
Byron Markley Harr and
Luella (Jones) Harr; motherin-law, Ruth Sundt-Larsen
Riebe; and stepfather-in-law
Robert Riebe.
When you look at a grave
marker, what is the first thing
that you notice? The name?
The age of the deceased?
There is often one tiny mark
that we overlook. And its
the most important mark
on the stone. Its the dash:
the what we do between the
time were born and the time
we diethats what is most
important. The dash is your
identity; who you are, your
influence, and how youve
touched the lives of others.
The dash is your legacy. It is
what youll leave behind for
future generations. Jack
Harr. Well done, good and
faithful servant.
