Answering the call
David Anderson installs the Norwegian stave church dragon atop the Sons of Norway-Mandt Lodge roof on Saturday, April 2. The dragon,
designed by local artists and craftsmen Don Rorvig and Rodger Hansen, took more than a year to create and construct. Findorff donated a
crane for use during the installation.

Scott De Laruelle
Some classic buildings have gargoyles atop the structure to lend artistic flavor. But not many have a dragon
perched on the roof.
Then again, the Mandt Lodge, 317
N. Page St., is a pretty unique place,
so it fits in fine in Norwegian-themed
Stoughton.
The new dragon, created by local
artists Rodger Hansen and Don Rorvig,
was installed at the lodge on Saturday.
The craftsmen collaborated for more
than a year to design and create a traditional Norwegian stave church dragon,
and last week gave a presentation on
Norwegian stave church iconography

and their construction process. The
dragon was installed Saturday.
The carving emulates a woodcarving
of the east gable of the famed Urnes
Stav Church in western Norway, one
of just 30 such churches in existence,
according to a press release from the
Mandt Lodge. About 1,000 stave
churches were built between the years
1000 and 1300, constructed on the
sites of old pagan temples.
Urnes, built in 1130 and the oldest
existing stave church in Norway, has a
so-called Viking Style, and is generally regarded as the greatest example
of this form during this period, according to the press release. The church
defeated in his re-election

bid in 2003, but ran again
in 2004 to regain his seat
in District 2.

Lori and Vik Malling opened Viking Brew Pub in 2014 and used the Stoughton Redevelopment Authoritys revolving loan program.
RDA loans aim to help downtown

Viking Brew Pub takes
first funding
Bill Livick
Vik and Lori Malling opened the

Viking Brew Pub in August 2014 but
didnt begin brewing beer until their
brew tanks finally arrived in October
the following year.
Opening the pub in phases first
the bar, then the restaurant, and
finally the microbrewery itself
allowed the Mallings to grow the
business gradually and not take on as
much immediate debt.
But when the brew tanks arrived
in October 2015, Vik Malling wasnt
bringing in as much revenue as hed
hoped for. So he took advantage
of the Stoughton Redevelopment
Authoritys revolving loan program
to help pay off some expenses and
buy time for the business to gain
traction.
The loan allowed me to pay off
my brew equipment and some of
the tradesmen like the plumber
and electrician, Malling explained
Monday during a conversation about
the RDA program. I had to pay the
remaining balance on the brew tanks,
so the loan allowed me to get rid of
that dangling debt and just pay interest for a while as the business keeps
building and grains traction.
The business qualified for an RDA
loan because it operates within the
authoritys downtown redevelopment area and met other loan criteria.
The RDA still has $200,000 of
available cash in its revolving loan
program and wants other downtown
business owners to know that they,
too, can apply for a low-interest loan
through the program.
Three years, one loan

The city created the RDAs revolving loan program in January 2013
but has had limited requests so far.
The Viking Brew Pub has been the
first and only business to tap into the
program. It completed the loan application process in January.
RDA loans can be used to remodel
the interior or exterior of a downtown business, purchase furniture,

Mayor Donna Olson said
WWBIC is also a good contact
for other sources of funding
for our downtown merchants.
How to apply

and the process of applying for

website, cityofstoughton.com.

fixtures or equipment, or construct a
new building. Loan amounts are set
between $10,000 and $50,000 and
can be used for up to 50 percent of a
project cost.
Malling said its been hard to generate the cash to pay off vendors as
the brewpubs business gradually
increases.
Its easier to pay the city at a
cheaper rate of interest, Malling
said, noting the programs policy is
the current prime rate plus 1 percent.
In his case, thats 4.5 percent.
Thats a good rate, Malling said.
Another nice thing about the program, he said, is that it doesnt limit
a business to just one loan.
Malling said hes planning to use
another loan to restore his building
facade.
Id like to pay this loan off and
then take another to improve the
building, he said. Im surprised
that Im the first business to take
advantage of this program.
Aimed at downtown
The program, Mayor Donna Olson
said, was created to help out folks
downtown, or it can be used to
enhance our downtown.
At the time it was created, the
citys financial consultant, Gary
Becker, of Vierbicher Associates,
described it as a pool of public

dollars designed to reduce risk for

a lender in order to help businesses.
It can make something happen
that might not have happened otherwise, Becker said.
City finance director Laurie Sullivan said the loans can be used in
two ways. They can bridge the gap
for businesses that cant get enough
financing through traditional sources, or a loan can be used if a business owner has a smaller project and
doesnt want to go through a traditional lender.
The maximum amount available
per loan is $50,000, and is an interest-only loan that has a balloon at the
end of three years, Sullivan said.
In other words, at the end of three
years the borrower still has two years
to pay off the loan balance.
The money to fund the program
comes from the downtown TIF District 4. The city set the program
up with $250,000 in a revolving
account.
Thats the nice thing about it,
Olson said it doesnt go away.
Someone uses it for three years
and then pays it back, and then its
available for somebody else to use,
she said. Its something that once
youve established it and it begins
working and were just starting to
see that and are excited about it
its going to be there for a very long
time, unlike a grant program where
once the moneys used its just
gone.

A knife-wielding attack
against a Stoughton man
by a McFarland teen in late
April 2015 stemming from
a prom date that went horrifically awry
ended with
a five-year
prison sentence for
attempted
first-degree
intentional
homicide Fri- Bexson
day.
Dane County Circuit
Court Judge William Hanrahan issued the sentence, which
includes 10 years of courtsupervised extended supervision after the prison term ends.
The attack on Stoughtons
Matthew McLimans happened
at McLimans home on the
600 block of North Page Street
shortly before 1 a.m. on April
30, 2015. During the sentencing, Hanrahan called the attack
sneaky, vindictive, violent,
disturbed and homicidal.
McFarlands Tyler Bexson,
who turned 18 in December,
pleaded guilty to the charge
in January. A tearful Bexson
was led out of the courtroom
Friday to begin his sentence.
The case stems from a
rescinded McFarland High
School prom date invitation
from Bexson that elevated
into a brutal late-night fight
between Bexson and McLimans, then 42, the prom dates
father. McLimans was stabbed
seven times and barely avoided life-threatening wounds.
McLimans wife, Elise, fired
one gunshot in the air during the brawl, according to
Stoughton police reports.
In April 2015, the report
said, the McLimans sent an
e-mail to Bexsons family
asking for partial payment of
their daughters $500 prom
dress. When they didnt hear
back, the McLimans called
the Bexson family on April
28. After the call, Bexsons
parents urged Tyler to attend
prom with the girl, then a
freshman at McFarland High
School. Tyler later contacted
the girl, who declined, saying
she was too distraught, police
reported.
Outraged at the growing

conflict, Bexson told Stoughton police that he was seething all day. Before midnight
April 29, Bexson drove to the
McLimans home in Stoughton, where Matthew McLimans was awakened by barking dogs and heard someone
outside. He took a flashlight
and a baseball bat to investigate, police reported, but Bexson immediately hit him with
a shovel then began swinging
a knife at him.
In court Friday, Matthew
and Elise McLimans each
spoke emotionally of their
overwhelming fear and anxiety after the attack.
I hate that I cant feel safe
in my own house, Matthew
said. (A few days after the
attack, McLimans also spoke
publicly about it in an interview with WKOW-TV.)
During the 2-hour, 20-minute sentencing hearing, four
Bexson family members
spoke about Tyler, who was
about to earn to his Eagle
Scout badge before the attack.
His youthful look and moderate maturity will make him
vulnerable in the prison system, they said.
Prison will destroy him,
said Tylers father, Joe Bexson.
Prosecutor Corey Stephan
said its by good fortune
that McLimans wasnt killed
in the attack. Stephan, who
recommended a 20-year
prison sentence, noted that
Bexson wrote on an Internet
blog hours before the attack
that he was going to commit
murder.
Bexsons attorney, Stephen
Eisenberg, urged probation,
describing Bexson as a lowrisk threat and saying that he
did not go there to kill the
McLimans.
Hanrahan spoke at length
about Bexsons intentions,
including parking away
from the house and taking
off his shoes in the yard to
not be heard. The judge also
described the knife as not a
Boy Scout knife.
Thats the type of knife
you gut a deer with, Hanrahan said.
Acknowledging Bexsons
clean background and quiet
demeanor, Hanrahan said
that the teen caused this tremendous trauma and added:
Ive wondered, Why did
you do it? Because you
wanted to.

Imposter reveals value

of better identification
Look for the badge
I
t took an odd, mostly insignificant personal experience this

weekend to shake me to the core
professionally.
A man tried to tell my wife he
was taking photos of my son and
other children for the Oregon
Observer.
Of course,
she knows the
staff here, so she
knew immediately it was a
bold-faced lie.
She called his
bluff and he
quickly retreated
toward the nearFerolie
est exit.
It was a little
creepy to her, but to me, it was even
more so. I had to wonder how many
times this sort of thing had happened before the perpetrator accidentally misidentified himself to the
wrong person.
Certainly we notified the Sheriffs Office and the management
at Eugsters Farm Market where
hundreds of kids were on hand at
any given time for the first weekend
of lamb and goat birthing days but
the report could only go so far. Ultimately, were talking about legal
photos of kids playing on toy tractors in a basically public place.
But it revealed an important
weakness within how weve been
covering our local communities.
Much of community journalism
is based on trust. We get far better photos, feature stories and bits
and pieces of information about
the people in our communities
when our subjects can rest assured
their openness will be handled in a
professional manner and whatever
they share will only go where it is
appropriate.
The presence of impostors running around claiming to be from our
organization would not help that
cause.
I wont pretend to know what
this mans purpose was or what the
eventual destination of those photos
would be, but I have to think if they
were of any legitimate manner,
he wouldnt need to pretend to be
someone else.
Even if he simply, inappropriately
hoped to use our name proactively
to help him get photos he wanted
to send to us as a contribution,
that chance meeting with the wife
of the editor should have been
UNG staffers will now wear ID badges while taking photos of most
public events. If youre not sure, ask for identification or a business card.
serendipitous, not an uncomfortable
unmasking.
But as a bit of an optimist myself,
I tend to look for the opportunity in
every situation. Here, I see a revelation that will perhaps force us to
improve our connection and presence in each of Unified Newspaper
Groups communities.
You see, since a reorganization in
2011, Unified Newspaper Group
which includes the Stoughton Courier Hub has been building a structure based on teamwork, in which
any one of our nine staff members
could be taking photos or reporting
in any of our four communities. The
benefits have been many, including
specialization of skills, rather than
relying on each editor to be a jackof-all-trades, but the main drawback
is obvious theres no longer just
one or two people from our papers
in each community, which means
no longer a face of the paper everyone knows.
Now, instead of the editor showing up to any given event and gaining temporary admission with a
smile, our reporters tend to hold up
a camera and announce their presence. But this weeks incident has
given me a reason to reconsider the
simplicity of that habit.
We all understand the reluctance
people might feel about having their
families photographed. Just because
something is legal doesnt make it
ethical. So we make a conscientious

effort to check for permission of our
subjects when it is reasonable to do
so.
Clearly this man did not, and
allowing people to pose as one of us
unchecked reduces our credibility.
So minutes after I discovered
what had happened and unfortunately the man was gone before I
could confront him I was discussing it over email with the UNG
staff. Within two hours, I had purchased lanyards so each of us can
now carry ID in a handy spot for all
to see.
Even before this weekend, our
staff reporters all carried some
form of identification at planned
photo assignments (usually business
cards), but for sure now, well be
displaying it more prominently by
hanging it around our necks.
So if you see what you assume
to be a reporter or photographer at
a community event, feel free to ask
to see it. And if youre uncertain,
check the name and photo on any of
our websites.
Or if youd rather, just come up
and chat well appreciate the interaction.

River Bluff Middle School students

will perform The Music Man, Jr. at
6 p.m. Friday, April 8 and Saturday,
April 9 in the Performing Arts Center
at Stoughton High School.
The story is based on the classic musical The Music Man, a tale
about a small Iowa town in the early
1900s. The plot concerns con man
Harold Hill, who poses as a boys
band organizer and leader and sells
band instruments and uniforms to the
naive townsfolk, promising to train the
members of the new band. But Harold
is no musician and plans to skip town
without giving any music lessons.
Prim librarian and piano teacher
Marian sees through him, but when
Harold helps her younger brother
overcome his lisp and social awkwardness, Marian begins to fall in love and
Harold risks being caught to win her
affections.
More than 70 River Bluff students
are involved in The Music Man, Jr.,
which is directed by Don Walden,
with Barb Wolf designing costumes
and Hannah Laffin leading a crew that
designed, constructed and assembled
the sets. Students from the SHS drama department, under the guidance
of DeeDee Bouzek, will be working
sound, lighting and make-up.
Tickets will be sold only at the door.
Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for students.

We picked that one to
submit because we did a lot
of replays in it, and a lot of
stations dont do replays,
he explained. We also
debuted our new graphics
on our hockey coverage of
that game. It was probably
the best one that we did all
year.
WSTO also won a Merit
Award for coverage of the
Stoughton Common Council meeting of Oct. 27,

There are walks of life where one is required to argue. Lawyers, politicians and
teachers are frequently in positions where they must argue persuasively for one
position or another. That is part and parcel of their job, and arguing serves the
valuable service of allowing the truth to stand out in contrast to error or ignorance.
In many areas of life, however, arguing serves no useful purpose and just creates
needless strife and division. When people are making casual conversation it is easy
to find things to disagree with, but such disagreements rarely foster peace and
harmony. It is tedious to be around someone who is always correcting us. With
family, friends, and co-workers it is usually better to find areas of mutual agreement rather than disagreement. And even when there is disagreement, sometimes
the way to resolve the issue is to start with what you agree on and
see if you can move on from there. When we must argue, it can usually be done
calmly and with civility. Sometimes we find ourselves drifting into argument without realizing how this even happened. Someone may have said something that we
feel must be challenged. As the discussion turns from mild difference of opinion
to angry disagreement, our tempers flare and we often say things we will regret.
By being less argumentative you will probably find that you get along with others
much better.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service

Joining the Army

In an email to the Hub,
the Scottish-born Dennison
said he always wanted to
be in the Army since he
was a kid, though the only
family member he knew
who served was an uncle
from Scotland who served
in the British army. Dennison and his family moved
to the U.S. when he was 12.
I have no idea why, but
it just seemed like the right
fit for me, he said, noting
that he joined the Army
before he even had his citizenship in 2007, shortly
before his first deployment.
Dennisons life changed
on Oct. 4, 2012.
While Dennison was
serving with the 1-64, 3rd
Infantry Division his third
deployment to Afghanistan
his platoon commander
stepped on an improvised
explosive device (IED); a
blast that resulted in the
loss of Dennisons legs.
He had just been promoted
to platoon sergeant the day
before and volunteered to
take the lead with the metal
detector, according to the
press release.
The group was about 50
yards from their pickup
site when the sudden blast
launched Dennison 20 feet
into a creek.
My buddy behind me
took my bone fragments to
his face and peeled his nose
half off, then our medic ran
up and hit another IED and
got his leg blown off, he
said.
After landing, Dennison
found he couldnt stand and
struggled to keep his head
out of the water as the platoon leader picked him up.
The two men patched up
Dennisons severe wounds,
and he was evacuated to
Kandahar Air Base, where
his legs were amputated
below the knee.
He also sustained a lacerated liver and eye, ruptured
eardrums, broken femur in
his right leg and blood clots
in his legs and lungs as a
result of the blast.
Back in the United States.
at Walter Reed Medical
Center, Dennison endured
28 surgeries. He said the
long recovery process was
hard.
Every time I got to a
point I was happy, I would
have to get surgery again
and start over, Dennison
said. But my wife and kids
help me get through it.
He received his first set
of prosthetics shortly after
starting outpatient therapy
and within a few months
was able to walk without
crutches.
Only a year after physical
therapy, Dennison signed
up for the 25-mile Bataan
Death March, a challenging trek through the high
desert terrain of White
Sands Missile Range, held
in honor of the soldiers who
defended the Philippine
Islands during World War
II.
It took Dennison 14 hours
to complete and a lot of ice
afterward, but he finished
his mission.
How to help
Donations for the
project can be made
in person at the
event or online at:

Retired Army Staff Sgt. Russell Dennison went through intense physical therapy to learn to walk with artificial legs. He endured 28 surgeries to help repair damage from severe injuries from an IED.

Russell Dennison, his wife Samantha and their two children will
eventually be moving into a new home in Rutland, thanks to the
efforts of Homes for Our Troops and many volunteers and donors.
Heros house
The home being built for the Dennisons will
feature more than 40 major special adaptations,
such as widened doorways for wheelchair access,
a roll-in shower and kitchen amenities that include
pull-down shelving and lowered countertops. The
home will also alleviate the mobility and safety
issues associated with a traditional home, including
navigating a wheelchair through narrow hallways or
over thresholds, or reaching for cabinets that are
too high.
All costs for the home will be covered by
Homes for Our Troops and its network of donors,
supporters and corporate partners, including Piggly
Wiggly and William Ryan Homes.
Looking forward
Now medically retired,
Dennison is intent on staying active, and living the
life he wants to, spending
time with his wife, Samantha, and their two children,
as well as snowboarding,
weightlifting and shooting. Hes working toward a
degree in welding.
I like to weld, and Im
going to start looking for a
job if anybody can help me
out with that, he said.
The family lives in the
Stoughton Area School District, and he said they wanted to stay there, and they
were pleased that HFOT
found land in Rutland for
their new home. Its close
to Roscoe, Ill., where he
and Samantha grew up and
still have family.
We both really liked

Wisconsin when we were
growing up and wanted
to live up here, he said.
When I got out of the Army
we tried living in Madison,
but did not like the schools
or the traffic and then we
found Stoughton, this cool
little Viking town.
Dennison said HFOTs
supporters truly make
America the greatest country.
For you to give me and
my family people you
hardly know this great
gift is overwhelming and
I am blessed, he said. I
know myself and fellow
soldiers are not forgotten
and we have amazing people like you to help us and
offer your support.

proud of their secondgeneration businesses, and
excited about the new possibilities now that theyve
teamed up.
Weve been doing work
for him for about six years
now, doing his concrete
flatwork, and we just started talking one day and I
kind of suggested maybe
Jeffrey would like to own
a flatwork company someday, said Nelson. We
love working with their
designers, and I got to know
his dad real well when he
came to town (in the early
1990s), when I was transitioning out of landscaping
and Dave (Moyer) was just
coming in. It just kind of
worked, because I started
getting work to David, and
then we went all concrete,
because we used to be treelandscape-concrete.
Moyer said it took a few
years to be brave enough
to decide to do it, because
of the value both men place
on their reputations.
Its a family business,
and theres a lot on your
plate when its your name
on it, and David knows
that, he said. We were
trying to make sure its not
about size, its about quality. We wanted to make sure
it happened right, and make
sure our families, our staff,
our community, our vendors, our clients, werent
negatively affected by this
in any way.
The move also creates
a succession plan for Nelsons business, as he plans
to retire in about 10 years.
We all know Roy (Nelson) would have wanted
to see this go on, Moyer
said. David appropriately
started planning for this
a decade or so before his
actual retirement, which is
good.

Nelsons former business

Happy anniversary
Moyers Inc., 936 Starr School Road, is a landscape
design and installation firm with a wholesale and retail
nursery and landscape supply center. D.W. Nelson Concrete Contractor, 190 Business Park Circle, is a decorative flatwork concrete company specializing in commercial and residential services for floors, driveways,
patios and walkways.
Ironically, both businesses recently celebrated their
30th anniversaries, as both were founded on April 1,
1986.
Both firms hold strong values for family, community, honesty, thoughtfulness and quality, said Jeff
Moyer.
By the numbers
Moyers Inc., which has 32 full-time and seasonal
employees, is run by second-generation owner Jeff
Moyer (president and CEO), wife Emily Moyer (office
manager and treasurer) and original owner/founder
Dave Moyer (nursery manager and vice president).
D.W. Nelson, which employs 10 people, was run by
second-generation owner and operator David Nelson
(president) who started the firm with his father, Roy
Nelson, who died in December 2012. David Nelson will
continue as the on-site production manager for the division.
Moyer said nothing will

substantially change for
either. He said Moyers,
Inc. will now have some
extra expertise on hand, and
Nelson will have access to
more help for larger jobs.
Youre going to expect
the same D. W. Nelson
Concrete Contracting work;
the quality flatwork, he

said. From Moyers, Inc.,
youre going to see the
same that youve seen with
the landscaping, designing
and building. Its a good
crossover. Its the same
people, same phone number, same location.
Nothings changed.

Stoughton softball found out just

how unpredictable spring weather in
Wisconsin can be last week having
its Badger South Conference debut
against Monona Grove postponed not
once, but twice.
Stoughton 4, Oregon 3
Stoughton jumped out to an early
lead on the road Tuesday evening and
did just enough to hold off the host
Oregon Panthers in their conference
debut 4-3.
Obviously, we would have liked
to push a few more runs across early
in the game, but Im extremely proud
of the girls effort at the end of the
game, Vikings head coach Kristin
Siget said. On a frigid night that began

with temps in the low 40s and quickly
plummeting with rain and wind, the
Vikings set course quickly by jumping out to a 4-0 lead.
Madison Brickson legged out an
infield single to put Stoughton on the
board in the first before the Vikings
broke through for three more runs in
the third.
Morgan Neuenfeld drew a one out
walk to get things started in the third.
Then two batters later, Samantha
Tepp singled through the left side of a
drawn in Oregon infield before Maddy Beske reached on a error to load
the bases.
Gabby Saunders and Liz Auby collected back-to-back RBIs. Saunders
knocked in one with a single, while
Auby roped a double off the bottom
of the outfield fence.

Oregons Marissa Kleckler collected an RBI double and Julia Schmidt
singled in another in the bottom of the
third to cut the Vikings lead in half.
Jess Bartelt pulled Oregon within
a run with an RBI groundout in the
home half of the fifth.
The Panthers threatened to put up
more in the fifth before the Vikings
Holly Brickson struck out Cailyn
Schmidt.
Neuenfeld came up with a a running snare in center field on a hard hit
ball by Jayme Zander for the second
out in the sixth before Brickson, who
went the distance with nine strike
outs, fanned Hannah Sears to end the
threat.
Brickson then capped the win with

really happy with her, head coach Erik
Benedict said. We are excited to have
(Weum) back. She looks strong.

to within a run, but senior
Nathan Varese stopped the
bleeding.
Varese picked up the save,
allowing one hit in 1 2/3
innings. He struck out two.
Sophomore Dillon
Nowicki earned the win.
He went four innings and
allowed two earned runs on

five hits, striking out nine and
walking three.
Dunnihoo said that the reason the offense stalled after
the third inning was not being
as aggressive at the plate.
I think we got complacent
with out at bats, letting too
many good pitches go that
we were aggressive with earlier in the game, Dunnihoo
said.
Oregons Jake Odegard

homes for Stoughton," she
said.
That culminated in a
Feb. 11 visit from Stoughton Mayor Donna Olson,
Stoughton Utilities director
Robert Kardasz and WPPI
Energy Services representative Cory Neeley. The trio,
along with other Fox Prairie
staff and students, visited
with the teams of students,
watched them demonstrate
their projects and listened
to presentations about their
designs.
They spoke with each
group about the strengths
of their designs and gave
them tips for future designs.
The visitors capped off the
afternoon by talking with
the students about energy
and fielding questions about
topics like solar energy.
After finishing up at Fox,
Olson, Kardasz and Neeley headed to River Bluff
Middle School for a similar
activity with sixth-graders.
There, teams of students
demonstrated their projects:
developing insulation to
keep ice cubes from melting.
The students worked to
design a "cooler" that was
able to keep an ice cube frozen while being exposed to
150+ degree temperatures
for 10 minutes. Students
first tested several materials to discover how effective these materials were at
minimizing heat transfer.
Then students had to purchase materials with a budget to represent real world
constraints. After the initial
prototype was built, students had to redesign and
improve their efficiency
and needed to justify their
modification to Olson, Kardasz and Neeley.
SHS wins Excellence

award
Stoughton High School
was recently honored with
the state "Spirit of Excellence" Award for its leadership development, school
spirit, sportsmanship and
service to the school and
community.
The annual honor is conferred by the Wisconsin
Association of Student
Councils (WASC), a statewide organization of student councils and/or student
leadership groups.
Each year, a selection
committee consisting of
members from WASC, the
Association of Wisconsin School Administrators
(AWSA), Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA), Wisconsin Association of School
District Administrators,
Wisconsin Athletic Directors Association, Wisconsin Parent Teacher Association, Rotary District

the WASC website. From
that pool, one school is

pride in their receiving this
award and want to thank

Students in the Stoughton

Area School District have
been keeping busy with
some fun and educational
engineering exercises.
Fox Prairie fourth-graders recently put their heads
together to design a solarheated home while staying
within budget. River Bluff
sixth-graders tried their
hand at insulating ice cubes
so they wouldn't melt. They
later shared their results
with the mayor of Stoughton, the director of Stoughton Utilities and a representative of WPPI Energy.
At Fox Prairie, teams
of students with names
like "The Three Engineers
Solar Heated House Inc."
and "Teeny Tiny Builders"
first designed and then used
materials like cardboard,
felt, plastic wrap, tape and
tin foil to construct homes
to show that energy could
be transformed from one
form to another, specifically solar energy to heat
energy. The homes were
put under heat lamps, and
the kids used thermometers
to measure how well their
designs retained the heat.
"The testing results are
really good because in the
nine minutes it went up
5 degrees Celsius," one
team of students wrote of
their results. "This proves
that our house was able to
turn solar energy into heat
energy. Then when we
turned off the light, it lost
5 degrees. With a few little
changes, like insulation or
a thermal mass, we think
our house would hold heat
well."
Fox Prairie fourth grade
teacher Kari Reiser ends
each science unit with an
engineering project of some
kind that connects back to
the material covered in that
unit. The fourth-graders
just wrapped up a unit on
energy and with this engineering challenge focused
on turning light energy into
heat energy.
"Students had lots of criteria to follow while building the houses a certain
size, a window, managing
a budget and even a warehouse to shop at," she said.
"They are doing research,
make blueprints, testing
and plan their redesigns,

Dream Park: Parks director hopes to apply $23K in donations to KPW Phase 2 park
Unlimited Play agreed to help with
the project, and Young said the news
last year that Unlimited Play was no
longer on board was a big blow to the
group.
Norse Park consists of 7.75-acres
with a playground and shelter that
are in need of upgrades, along with a
baseball diamond, tennis and basketball courts, and an ice skating rink.
Dream Park organizers had adopted a design for the playground, and
intended to raise funds to put toward
upgrading both the playground and the
shelter.
The money they raised could still
go toward improving accessibility in
Norse Park, but Stoughton Parks and
Recreation director Tom Lynch said
he thinks the money could be better
used in the park the city has been planning at KPW.
The development of that park is still
undecided, as its part of Phase 2, but

were to go to another park and put in

Stoughton artists Don Rorvig and Rodger Hansen stand by their Norwegian church stave dragon,
which was installed atop the Sons of Norway Mandt Lodge Saturday.
Dragon: Project took more than a year

only had to figure out what
to create for the lodge, but
if they had enough materials and tools to do it.
Im laying in bed, thinking, How are we going to
do this, and attack that?
Hansen said. I might have
been out on my own, doing
something quite imaginative, while Don is a student
of Norwegian history and
wanted something in more
of a traditional mode. We
looked at a few examples,
figured this as the best
compromise and struck out
on our own, working with
available 2x6 lumber and
About the dragon

Construction of the dragon started last year,
using cedar shakes to replicate a reptilian-like
surface. The completed dragon measures nearly
94 inches from tongue to tail, with a maximum
width of seven-and-a-half inches, and 40 inches
from its jaw to lower body. It weighs 95 pounds.
whatever tools we had.
Mandt Lodge president
Darlene Arneson said in an
email to the Hub that lodge
members are thrilled with
the new addition.
It will be a new jewel on
Page Street and an attraction for many members,
guests and visitors to

enjoy, she said. The time
and effort that Rodger Hansen and Don Rorvig put
into the design, constructions, finishing touches,
presentation, T-shirts and
installation is greatly appreciated.
