Big crowd shows support for whitewater park BILL LIVICK Unified Newspaper Group
More than 100 people attended a presentation on developing a whitewater park in the Yahara River last week, and it drew lots of questions, mostly about safety. The crowd appeared supportive of the project, which Parks and Recreation director Dan Glynn began investigating a couple of years ago and talking about publicly last year. For the May 16 presentation at the Stoughton Opera House, Glynn

York City and was “turned on to the arts” by his mother, who got to see the original production of Williams’ “Streetcar” on Broadway. “She always brought that up,” he recalled, “and I read all of his plays and books over the years.” He has long had an affinity for Williams’ work because the majority of it, especially “A Streetcar Named Desire,” is “all about empathy,” he said. At the nursing home, he often works with people
who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia, people who he said “depend upon the kindness of strangers.” “Tennessee Williams’ work lends itself to that message,” he observed. “I want people to walk away feeling the intangible has been made tangible.” H e t h i n k s C a m p l i n ’s songs will reinforce the humanitarian dimension of Williams’ work and “take it to a different level.” It’s all designed to touch
and teach the audience, Hecht said. “The majority of the great artists wrote for extraordinary, ordinary people,” he asserted. “I give talks all over and tell people – especially seniors – that these great artists are writing about you. They’re not writing about kings and queens and politicians. They’re able to make their writings and ideas universal.” Contact Bill Livick at bill. livick@wcinet.com

He’ll be joined Wednesday, May 30, by Wisconsin singer-songwriter and club owner Bill Camplin, who appeared with Hecht last year during a program on Bob Dylan. Camplin, co-owner of Café Carpe in Fort Atkinson since its founding in 1985, released a masterful album of Dylan songs he interpreted and recorded several years ago, but he’ll play some of his own originals next week. “ M i c h a e l g ave m e a license to do whatever I want, but I haven’t decided yet what I’ll do,” Camplin said Monday. “He kind of indicated he’d like me to do some of my own songs, to keep the program focused on authorship.” The program is expected to go almost an hour and will feature Camplin performing four songs, interspersed with Hecht’s talk.

allow for different skill levels on the water at the same time, he said, but it has a strong current and consistent flow. The concept plan shows a bypass channel going to the south around the dam near the Fourth Street bridge and flowing beneath a proposed pedestrian bridge. It includes a series of seven pools – one before the dam, four between the dam and the Fourth Street bridge, and two drops leading to larger pools downstream of the bridge – possibly along with an “adjustable” standing wave just past the dam upstream from the bridge. It also features a spectator area, a beach and about 2,000 lineal feet of trail through the downtown area. F u r t h e r d ow n s t r e a m , the plan includes a second pedestrian bridge, connecting Mandt Park to the Redevelopment Authority’s riverfront redevelopment area.

included potential hazards inherent to whitewater parks. People asked about the safety of an unsupervised water park and off-hours use, the potential of conflict between different types of users (inner tubes versus kayaks, for example) and the possibility for accidents when inexperienced people find themselves in rapids. Resident Eric Olsen, a former safety chair of a national paddlers’ organization and also for the UW-Hoofers club, asked about the potential for a boat with an inexperienced paddler becoming “broached” between a hard surface and the forceful current. Lacy responded that the small drops and pools in the Yahara wouldn’t be dangerous. He said if a boat were to capsize, the current would carry it swiftly to the shallow end of a pool, where a person could easily stand in two or three feet of water to regain equilibrium. He also suggested the city could offer basic safety classes for novice paddlers. Olsen later said he had some doubts, particularSome doubt but support ly with an unsupervised A u d i e n c e q u e s t i o n s p a r k a n d n ov i c e s w h o might choose not to wear a
lifejacket or helmet. Lynne Diebel, an avid paddler who’s traveled hundreds of miles in a canoe with her husband, Bob, and written several books on the subject, was pleased with Lacy’s presentation and the thought of a whitewater park being developed close to the downtown. “One of the things that made me really happy is that there would be a fish passage past the dam,” Lynne Diebel said. “It’s going to change the river dynamic in a nice way.” She said the park would give people a new appreciation of the river. Bob Diebel said a whitewater park would “draw people from all over” to Stoughton. “Gary Lacy has enough experience with his other projects to be able to give a pretty good prediction about the success likelihood for Stoughton,” he said. “I look forward to doing it and think it’ll be fun. There’s lots of cool things you can do with boat-handling skills and playing around in water that is not necessarily that challenging.” Contact Bill Livick at bill. livick@wcinet.com

Demo begins City aims to open East South Street by July BILL LIVICK Unified Newspaper Group
A contractor last week began to demolish part of the Highway Trailer building on East South Street, which city officials hope will allow the opening of the street before the Fourth of July weekend. Mayor Tim Swadley and Redevelopment Authority chair Roger Springman two weeks ago decided to rearrange the demolition schedule at the riverfront redevelopment area between East South Street and the Yahara River. They asked Earth Construction, the contractor that’s been working in the redevelopment area since January, to focus on removing the deteriorating Highway Trailer complex at 501 E. South St. The Common Council in February authorized up to $750,000 to demolish the complex but leave a part, known as the blacksmith shop, for possible redevelopment. Swadley told the Hub last week with the Stoughton Junior Fair and the Catfish River Music Festival taking
place the first week of July, he and Springman agreed the priority should be to open East South Street, which the city closed last summer over safety concerns after a preservation architect studied the complex and recommended closing the street. The council and RDA have yet to decide the fate of the “blacksmith shop,” the oldest of six buildings in the complex. Swadley said that decision will likely depend on what ideas people have for redeveloping the 14,000-square-foot structure and the cost. Earth Construction began removing six buildings that make up the 6-acre MillFab site in January and also took down another building on East South Street, known as the carpet warehouse, last month. Soil remediation at the MillFab site is ongoing. Last year, the council awarded a $322,000 contract to the contractor to demolish the MillFab buildings in the 10.4-acre riverfront redevelopment area. In January, it accepted the contractor’s $48,000 bid to also take down the carpet warehouse. Conflicting opinions about whether to preserve the Highway Trailer complex caused a rift
among elected officials and delayed the start of the riverfront redevelopment project last summer. The RDA had planned to demolish all the buildings in the redevelopment area and had chosen a master developer to lead an effort to revitalize the former industrial site with new buildings, streets, walkways and green space. But a week after voting to do so, the council blocked the demolition. And in mid-July, the master developer withdrew from the project, citing the city’s indecision about what to include in the redevelopment effort. The RDA had voted in March 2017 to demolish the complex to clear the site for redevelopment. In April 2017, the council reduced its demolition moratorium to the blacksmith shop. Then, in July, the council changed its position and again voted to support preserving the entire complex as a Local Landmark. T h e n ex t m o n t h , t h e Landmarks Commission yielded to public pressure and declined to nominate the building for the Local Landmark designation.
A developer who agreed last year to buy a former gas station property and turn it into apartments has accepted city conditions so he can proceed with the project. In recent months, there had been some doubt whether Todd Nelson would go ahead with this plan to buy the former Marathon gas station property from the Stoughton Redevelopment Authority and construct two four-unit apartment buildings at the corner of West Main Street and Prairie Street. But he informed RDA chair Roger Springman this week he will accept the RDA’s requirement that he close on it by June 4 and guarantee $800,000 of property value at the half-acre site by the end of the year. Nelson had met with the RDA in March to request an extension to the April 2 sale closing date because of contaminated soil at the site, which he said would take a couple of months to test. The RDA agreed to delay the closing date but added the property value requirement, which Nelson objected to at the time. The RDA had previously told Nelson it wanted that value to ensure a minimum tax payment, but that wasn’t in the $72,000 purchase agreement. “I don’t want to guarantee anything,” he said in March.
He added then he would not work on the soil contamination without control of the property, but Springman told the Hub on Friday that Nelson had changed his mind. “He’s invested quite a bit of money in the project with all the planning and engineering, so he told me earlier this week that he’s going ahead and feeling positive,” Springman said. Nelson did not return the Hub’s phone call for a comment. Springman said Nelson and a consultant took soil samples earlier this week to see whether the soil would be accepted by the Dane County landfill. The property is in the downtown tax-increment financing district and will generate revenue for the district when the buildings are completed. However, the TIF district must close in less than three years. Several RDA members told Nelson in March they had agreed to delay the closing twice before at his request and wouldn’t do it again without a guarantee that the property would generate the $800,000 of value by Dec. 31. “What makes you think I’ll agree to this?” Nelson asked after the vote to extend the deadline and require the guarantee. He said then the soil contamination was a surprise, but RDA officials said the city provided him with a 112-page Phase 1 environmental assessment report last summer and he had plenty of time to know what was in it.

Letters to the editor
Poor planning in Nordic Ridge On May 14, there was a public hearing held by the Stoughton Planning Commission. Part of the agenda was to discuss the proposed changes by the developer, Lakestone Properties, of 1601 Hoel Ave. The prior proposal was for buildings with 12 units. The new proposal is for two, three-story buildings, totaling 77 units. The location of this substantially larger complex makes absolutely no sense. You would have to drive through six blocks of a subdivision made primarily of single family homes to get to this complex when turning onto Hoel Ave from Hwy. 138 and 51. Obviously, this is not where a complex of this size should be located. Many residents of Stoughton attended and spoke at the meeting, all opposing it, some for different reasons. Of course, this will result in an increase in traffic on Highway A and Hoel Ave. It will be a huge eyesore for many people who live out in the
country specifically to get away from these types of buildings and population density. There are also farmers who, despite the current retention ponds in Nordic Ridge, are already having flooding issues in their fields. I can understand the city wants to lure more people to the area but the location and design of this complex is not what Stoughton needs. Looking closer at the plans, half of these units will be studio or one-bedroom apartments. This is not what attracts young growing families. Despite all the objections by the residents who attended (the only speakers supporting the measure were the developers) the planning commission voted in favor of the changes. You ignored the concerns of the citizens of our town and lacked common sense when making your decision. Shame on you. Matt Bellin City of Stoughton

Post-nasal drip often is opposite of what it seems I had a typical recently who complained of drainage and “sinus” problems. After examining her, it became clear she was on several medications that can cause dry mouth. Not only was her problem not “drainage,” but her medication had nearly shut off the production of normal mucus. She was extremely dry and had almost no mucus to speak of. If you’ve ever experienced postnasal drainage, you might have thought this sensation meant you Lyon had mucus accumulating in your throat, as if there’s extra liquid. On the contrary, it usually means your throat is dry, irritated or swollen. “Post-nasal” or “throat drainage” is one of the most common complaints that sends people to the doctor. Even though this symptom sounds simple, it is not usually as straightforward as it seems. The nose puts out two quarts of mucus a day, most of which generally flows into the mouth and throat, providing needed lubrication and moisture to the inside of the nose, sinuses and throat. Having mucus drainage is not only normal, it’s necessary. But when our sinuses are functioning normally, we don’t feel a sensation of drainage. The sensation of “junk in the throat” and “drainage” actually are generally not caused by the nose and sinuses producing excessive or abnormal mucus. Most people who have this complaint actually have no traces of abnormal nasal or throat mucous when we look closely with a scope. And course, the proper treatment requires the correct diagnosis. With the wrong treatment, you’re probably not going to feel any better, and you might even
feel worse. As the patient, the symptom should be described as feeling like there is stuff or “glob” in your throat, along with any related symptoms you may have, like problems swallowing, hoarse voice, throat discomfort or throat clearing, rather than diagnosing yourself by saying “drainage.” If you call it “drainage,” it could result in treatment of a nasal or sinus problem or allergies, when it is really something else entirely. Post-nasal drainage differs from a general runny nose caused by nasal rhinitis or allergies. It usually isn’t usually allergies, though they can be a culprit. Obstruction from a deviated septum in the nose, crooked breathing passages (or a combination of these with allergies) or a chronic sinus problem can also be causes of post-nasal drip. But more often, the cause is a different source of irritation, such as smoking, dryness, “silent” reflux, dusty environments, chemicals or perfumes. These can either dry your throat or create the sensation something is “stuck.” With nasal rhinitis, the nose runs like a faucet, but there are no typical symptoms of allergies like sneezing, itching or scratchy throat. Certain foods, going outdoors and changes in temperature can make the rhinitis worse. Allergies increase the volume of mucus and may make more thick mucus, which is either expelled or increases the volume draining down the throat. Many patients experience swelling of their mucus membrane and other structures in the nose, and they’ll feel a sense of drainage. But when they blow their nose, nothing comes out. This indicates swollen nasal tissue filling the nasal cavities. To get relief, the swelling and its cause must be treated. Another common source of this feeling is actually dryness
– that sensation where the mouth is parched and sticky and swallowing is impeded. In contrast to having more drainage, in this situation there is less mucus and less drainage in the throat. It doesn’t feel normal. It doesn’t work like normal, and neither does the nose. A dry nose feels stuffy. So if it’s dry, wet it. Drinking more water and using a nasal moisturizing spray can help. Smoking aggravates the condition. Silent reflex (without heartburn) is another cause of this sensation that isn’t associated with real post-nasal drainage. For people with reflux, it’s worse in the morning. It can feel like there’s a glob in the throat, and frequent clearing of the throat results in no normal mucus secretion. Dietary changes and possible medications to reduce acid may help. Signs of chronic sinusitis include a pressure sensation and occasional thick or gluelike secretions. Nasal irrigation and an over-the-counter nasal steroid spray may be beneficial. You might have to work through some trial and error to learn what works and what doesn’t and to narrow down possibilities. Remember, if your symptoms don’t improve with the recommended treatment, go back to your doctor for further evaluation and possibly treatment of a different problem. The important thing is to realize what the possible causes are and manage some of the more common causes at home. Try to decrease the sources of irritation in your nose and throat. And take notes so you can share those ideas with your doctor and use the doctor’s treatment if home remedies don’t help. Dr. Steven Lyon is a board certified otolaryngologist (ENT) at Stoughton Hospital.

The longtime commander died Oct. 14 last year after he was struck by a car while crossing the street to attend an American Legion meeting. It was the group’s last meeting before the dedication of the Stoughton Area Veterans Memorial Park – a project Nowlin, 69, had devoted significant time and money toward, but would not live to see. This year’s ceremonies are dedicated to Nowlin, who was admired by fellow veterans as a rare individual who led by example and who never allowed his fortunes in life to compromise his character.

The Thursday shows were already booked, but Suess and the Gazebo team added the special date to give him a chance to perform. “Within the Gazebo framework, it’s important for me to be able to provide a vehicle for high school-aged kids to perform,” Suess said. “We’re really excited to offer him the possibility to play for Gazebo Musikk.” Local artists will perform at the Rotary Park Gazebo, 324 S.

featured in the past. New acts are introduced each year, but the focus is always local, including Mike and Jamie McCloskey, Old Tin Can String Band, RetroBus and the Rotation. Suess said she had hoped the series would develop into something special. “It takes a while to get into the community consciousness, and I think Gazebo has achieved that,” she said. “I’ve overheard people in the community talk about it, who didn’t know I was involved, and that has been great. It’s exciting to see it have its own life.” Suess said that while choosing bands, she and the rest of Friends of Gazebo Musikk prioritize picking family friendly bands that people of all ages can enjoy. All performances are free,
and local organizations and nonprofits will have food trucks with items to purchase. Donations are accepted to pay performers a little bit more than their typical stipend, supported by the Parks and Recreation department. Friends of Gazebo Musikk and the department work together to help facilitate the series. Suess said the city organizes financing, sponsorship and recognizing those sponsors, while Friends, led by Suess, leads the front of house activities like booking bands, arranging food and facilitating the donation distribution. “Music has been a huge part of my whole life,” Suess said. “We always have music on in the house. I appreciate providing a venue for regional and local musical acts.” Contact Amber Levenhagen at amber.levenhagen@ wcinet.com.

Poppy program continues The American Legion Auxiliary will once again be selling poppies to raise money for veterans, continuing a program that’s been going for almost 100 years, Auxiliary’s Lisa Olson said. The poppies are made in Milwaukee at the Zablocki VA Hospital by hospitalized veterans Last year, she said, the group raised more than $3,000 in the Stoughton area for veterans programs, and she hopes to continue to get the word out about the program. “When we go out around town to distribute and take donations you would be so surprised at how many people don’t know anything about the poppy history and why we are distributing them,” Olson wrote the Hub in an email.

Simplicity “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” — Matthew 6:31-33 NIV Simplicity is perhaps the spiritual discipline which is most at odds with our complicated, affluent, modern way of life. It is hard to live a simple life if you are trying to keep up with the Joneses and are keen to have the latest gadgets. And let’s face it, very few of us can live the kind of simple, monastic life that we associate with cloistered monks. But perhaps the key to living and truly being simple is just to love and trust God, and to not be anxious about our next meal, or our clothing or housing. It is truly ironic that when we have little we can be anxious to accumulate money and material things to give us some security, and then when we have accumulated these things, we become anxious to safeguard them. Money and material things are no safeguard against illness or death, or a multitude of other misfortunes. Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these other things will come naturally, or at least you will be relieved of the anxiety you feel to acquire them. Living a simple life doesn’t require us to live like monks or hermits, but it does require us to have a single-minded devotion to God. – Christopher Simon

Lee Wagner Position: River Bluff band teacher Years in district: 20 Do you have a favorite moment teaching in Stoughton? I have had many wonderful moments teaching our students and watching them make a connection with music. I have also enjoyed seeing students as they leave Wagner River Bluff and continue carrying a love of music into high school and beyond. Many of the most memorable moments are the ones in which things happen that you don’t plan for like pouring rain or 35-degree weather at a parade.
Alice MacKenzie Position: River Bluff reading teacher Years in district: 18 years Do you have a favorite moment teaching in Stoughton? I spent most of my career as a reading interventionist at Kegonsa. I enjoyed the moment when students were starting to MacKenzie decode successfully and could “move ahead” in their reading. What’s the best part about teaching? The best part was all the relationships I enjoyed with students and colleagues.
Position: Fox Prairie third-grade teacher Years in district: 27 What’s the best part about teaching/most challenging? The best part of teaching is the joy and laughter that comes with working with children and their enthusiasm for learnRude ing. I have also been fortunate to have worked with wonderful, dedicated, caring colleagues. The most challenging part of teaching is time management between work and family and meeting the needs of each individual student. Each student is a unique individual who requires different instruction and approaches. Every day left me with wanting and wishing that I was able to do more for my students.
Beth Robbins Position: Sandhill kindergarten teacher Years in district: 29 What are your plans for retirement? I plan to do some substitute teaching and to continue to work with my husband in our family childcare center. Anything else you’d like to let folks Robbins know? I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to work with the children and families in this community. It has been an honor to work with such an amazingly gifted staff at Sandhill.

Nancy DeRango Position: SHS language arts teacher Years in district: 23 Do you have a favorite moment teaching in Stoughton? My favorite moments in teaching have been making so many connections with students and families, be it regarding DeRango language arts or just regarding life. For graduation, I also was elected to hand out high school diplomas for students, including each of my two daughters. After graduating from Stoughton, they both have fulfilled their dreams in a career. What’s the best part about teaching/most challenging? The best part about teaching is being around students and intelligent educators alike. Each day is exciting and full of life. The colleagues I have worked with have taught me so much and are each exemplary human beings. The community, too, welcomed me when I came in 1995. This has been home for 23 years. During my 33 years in teaching, the most challenging has been the change in the level of respect for our educational system and educators.

Position: Fox Prairie second-grade teacher Years in district: 29 Do you have a favorite moment teaching in Stoughton? One thing that I really loved doing is our community walk with the second-graders. We do it on the Friday right before Plutchak Syttende Mai. It ties in with our study of community in social studies. We do a scavenger hunt for businesses etc. in the downtown. It is a fun trip for the students and very exciting. What’s the best part about teaching? It’s the staff and students of Fox Prairie. It is a wonderful school to work in.
Bobb
Position: Kegonsa second-grade teacher Years in district: 23 Do you have a favorite moment teaching in Stoughton? One of my favorite memories was teaching about Brazil and the Amazon Rainforest. It was so much fun watching the students Anderson learn and grow with excitement as they transformed our classroom into a mini version of the Amazon rainforest. They read and learned about the layers of the rainforest, plants and animals and the country of Brazil, created life size animals, wrote reports, created poems, made books and much more. What’s the best part about teaching? The best part of teaching is watching my students learn and grow throughout the year. I love the excitement and energy they create when experiencing new learning challenges. I also love helping children to enjoy and treasure reading. The best part comes when they read a book and can’t wait to share something they read or learned with me or a classmate.
Nancy Beszhak Position: Kegonsa library media specialist Years in district: 29 Do you have a favorite moment teaching in Stoughton? My favorite moments are working with students and seeing a spark of excitement consume them. I also enjoy having “book conversations” with students when we talk Beszhak about their interests and I try to help them find “the perfect book.” What’s the best part about teaching? My goal for the students is to connect them to the right book, the right information and to foster a lifelong love of reading! Anyone who says “I don’t like to read!” just hasn’t met the right book or found the right information to meet their needs. The changes that technology has brought to libraries has been very exciting. Students can access first-hand information at the touch of a button. They also can show their learning in different and innovative ways.

Saying goodbye SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
As the Stoughton Area School District bids farewell to 11 retiring educators next month, the schools will feel the loss. Nearly 300 years of experience in SASD will be walking out the doors with them. Many of the retiring teachers said they got started in education because of the positive experiences and relationship they had with their own teachers, something they hope they continued in their careers. Kegonsa library media specialist Nancy Beszhak, wrapping up her 29th year in the district, told the Hub in an email she got interested in the profession because both her parents were educators and “lived their lives demonstrating the importance of education.” She also credited her first-grade teacher, Mrs. Stecker. “(She) made learning so much fun, after first grade I wanted to be an elementary teacher,” Beszhak wrote. “Being a guide to their journey of learning is so rewarding.” Fox Prairie third-grade teacher Jean Rude, in her 27th year in the district, told the Hub she “can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to become a teacher.” “Each student is a unique individual who requires different instruction and approaches,” she wrote in an email. “Every day left me with wanting and wishing that I was able to do more for my students.” Kegonsa second-grade
teacher Dawn Anderson is finishing her 23rd year in the district. She said she first became interested in teaching when she was in middle school, thanks to some inspiring teachers. “They showed so much excitement and love of what they were doing, it just rubbed off on the students,” she wrote. “I decided then and there I wanted to be an educator of children. Since I enjoyed the curiosity and innocence of younger children through babysitting, I wanted to become a second-grade teacher.” SHS psychologist Mary Grace Ott, in her 31st year in the district, wrote that she first got interested in teaching because of her mother, who was a teacher who “loved to be with children.” She said when she was in school, she became aware and sensitive about students “who seemed to be struggling.” “These two things drew me into the field of special education, first as a teacher and then as a school psychologist,” she wrote the Hub. “The best part about being a school psychologist is having the privilege to listen to others talk about their lives and to help them process what they are going through.” Sandhill kindergarten teacher Beth Robbins, who has taught 29 years in the district, said the best thing about her job was watching young children who aren’t yet reading when they begin the year “blossom into readers.” “It’s such a joy to me,” she wrote in an email. “It is like watching a child take their first step or speak their first word.”

the worst time in American history that tore our young country apart, came a solemn day of remembrance for all for all those who lost their lives while serving their country. Freedom is not free, it is paid for with the blood of those whom we honor on this day. Every year on Memorial Day we pause and give thanks to those who have gone before us and protected our way of life. From those first small colonies grew one of the strongest countries on earth. From our tragic Civil War came one the most solemn occasions of the year, Memorial Day. As said by Patrick A. Nowlin, Commander VFW Post 328, in 2016 1947-2017

Our great country began as a small group of colonies on the far west coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Life was a struggle at first, but the colonists survived and expanded over time. A feeling of pride and accomplishment spread throughout. Still loyal to the King of England, they wanted the freedom to make their own decisions and decide their own future. As with each new generation, the colonies grew in number and population, and a feeling of independence grew. It soon became obvious that it was time for a new nation to become free of the King’s rule, and so began our bid for independence. The Revolutionary War became necessary to break free and become the United States of America. With freedom won it was vital to protect and preserve their newfound freedom. The War of 1812 was fought and won along with several other armed conflicts. Freedom won and was preserved. Then one of the darkest periods in our nation’s history happened with the outbreak of the Civil War. It tore our great country apart and threatened our very existence. Chaos ruled in this bloody time. As battlefields became graveyards, the widows and families of the fallen came to take care of the graves of their loved ones and others, too. Eventually a day in the spring was set aside as Decoration Day, which we now call Memorial Day. From

Benoy finishes runner-up at No. 2 singles JEREMY JONES Sports editor
Freshman Steven Benoy and junior Nolan Meyer each advanced to the second day of the Badger Conference tennis tournament last week. It was the first time since 2013 that the Vikings, who finished fifth out of eight teams in the Badger South, had advanced multiple flights to the second day of the tournament. Benoy, the third-seed at No. 2 singles, earned a runner-up finish, while fifth-seeded Meyer finished fourth. Ethan Wright was the only other Viking flight to score points, winning a round at No. 4 singles. Benoy cruised 6-1, 6-1 over DeForest sophomore Eliot Pichardt in the opening round. Sixth-seeded sophomore Ethan Liu of DeForest provided a much better challenge in the second round, however, taking Benoy to a third set. Benoy dropped the first set but bounced back to win 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (1).

Senior Sam McHone continued his dominant season this week at the WIAA Division 1 Verona regional. McHone had three individual titles and also anchored the 4x400-meter relay to fourth place to make sectionals. But all of it was done while trying to save his best for sectionals and state. So on Monday, McHone – who recently had earned a school record in the 100 (10.84 seconds) after coaches researched the school’s track and field history in the days after the Badger South meet – won both the 100 and 200 at regionals.

Vikings shut out by rival Panthers ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor
A diving catch in the first at-bat set the tone Thursday as Stoughton baseball struggled to get hits in a 3-0 loss at rival Oregon. Junior Kadin Milbauer roped a line drive to center field, but Oregon senior Carson Timberlake sped to his left, dove and snagged the ball as he belly flopped off the ground. The Panthers handled a couple other hard-hit balls, and senior pitcher Cameron Carpenter did the rest on the mound, throwing a two-hit complete game shutout. “Early in the game, we had some line drives, and then we got frustrated,” coach Jeremy Dunnihoo said. “We have to understand the game of baseball is going to do that to you sometimes. You have to work through it mentally. I think we gave some at-bats away toward the end with lazy fly balls, and you aren’t going to get any runs with lazy fly balls.” Carpenter also knocked in the first run of the game, singling to left field in the bottom of the fourth to bring home senior Tyler Damon. Stoughton senior Brock Wanninger had entered the inning with a no-hitter but walked senior Matthew deFiebre and allowed a single to Damon. Senior Nate Newton followed with a single, but deFiebre was thrown out at the plate by senior left fielder Dillon Nowicki to keep the game scoreless. Junior catcher Connor Kalinowski blocked the plate and applied the tag easily. Back-to-back singles by Carpenter and junior Jack Haufle made it 2-0 Oregon. Stoughton’s best threat came in the top of the fifth. Senior Nick Waldorf reached on a throwing error, and Kalinowski broke up Carpenter’s no-hitter with a swinging bunt down the third-base line. Senior Aaron Zimmerman also reached on a throwing error, and the Vikings had the bases loaded with two outs. Carpenter got Milbauer to fly out to right to end the inning. Stoughton put two runners on with two outs in the sixth but couldn’t capitalize. The Vikings (7-12 overall, 6-8 conference) had came to Oregon (9-8, 8-6) with five wins in their last six games, and a big reason was pitching and offense. Not only did early-season walk totals come down, but Dunnihoo said the lineup stayed patient at the plate and worked for good pitches to hit. Wanninger allowed three runs on eight hits and four walks in six innings Thursday, but he also struck out eight and held

Stoughton boys golf came into Tuesday’s WIAA Division 1 Middleton regional sixth out of eight teams in nine-hole average. The Vikings finished a few strokes behind their average with a 382 and took seventh at Pleasant View Golf Course. No one broke 90, so Stoughton’s season came to a close without any individual sectional qualifiers. Junior Drew Anderson led the Vikings with a 94, and sophomore Jake Livingston shot a 95. Junior Jack Gardner, who made sectionals last season as an individual, was third on the team with a 96. Senior Tyler Anderson finished his high school career with a 97. Junior Dane Sutton’s 103 was not counted toward the final score. Middleton won the regional with a 311, and Waunakee followed with a 317. Verona was third with a 322. Oregon edged Madison West 334-335 for the final team spot. Madison West senior Owen Cranley and junior Eric Buinevicius advanced as individuals for the Regents, and Madison Memorial junior Matthew Sorenson (83) and freshman Silas Pickhardt (85) also advanced.

If Stoughton wins a regional title, the Vikings will play at approximately 1 p.m. in their sectional semifinal. The sectional final is slated for 4 p.m.
Rainouts throughout the spring forced teams to cancel the Badger Challenge last week, which led Stoughton softball to hosting nonconference River Valley on Friday. The Vikings fell 17-2 in six innings. Maddy Brickson stepped into the circle in place of ace Kailey Hammersly, and struggled to find the strike zone. Brickson walked 13 batters as she allowed eight earned runs on nine hits in
five innings. She struck out two. Brickson went two for three, and Grace Ott and Megan Marggi each had a hit. Defensively, Stoughton had five errors in the loss. River Valley scored three times in each of the first three innings and capped the win with an eight-run fifth. Jaylyn Johnson (3 for 5) scored three runs and drove in five. Fourteenth-seeded Stoughton traveled to third-seeded Fort Atkinson at 5 p.m. Wednesday for the first-round of the WIAA Division 1 playoffs in a
game that did not make the Courier Hub’s Tuesday evening publication deadline. See next week’s paper or ConnectStoughton.com for results. The winner between Stoughton and Fort Atkinson will play the winner between 11th-seeded Milton and sixth-seeded Elkhorn.

Home Talent League
Merchants hold off A’s JEREMY JONES Sports editor
Justin Moore thought he had played his last Home Talent game, that is until he got a call from Stoughton coach Dale Seffens. Moore who quit before the season started, said he got a call from Seffens to catch the Syttende Mai game as the team didn’t have anyone else to do it. Moore finished the game with one hit and an RBI in a 9-4 victory over the Southeast Section rival Utica A’s. Moore’s RBI came during a crucial five-run, second inning when he was hit by a pitch. It was kind of a fitting end Moore said. “That was always an ongoing joke with the guys since I get hit so much,” he said. Max Fuller and Winder Fuentes led off the inning with back-to-back singles before T.J. DiPrizio reached base on an error to load the bases for Moore. Brett Klitze and Chris Lund added tworun singles to push the Merchants’ lead to 5-0. Utica fought back to 5-3 as Doug Vike singled home a run in the third inning and added a two-run home run in the fifth.
Vike drove in Utica’s final run on a fielder’s choice in the ninth inning. The Merchants closed out the win with a two-run RBI double from DiPrizio and an RBI single from Medina in the eighth. Defensively, Ben Riffle tossed six innings, allowing three earned runs on six hits and five walks. He struck out three. Stoughton gave up one unearned run over the final three innings with Erick Sperloen on the mound. Sperloen allowed two hits and three walks, while striking out three. Behind the plate, Moore threw four guys out trying to steal. “I just wanted to say thanks to Erick and Ben for being able to catch them one more time since I’ve caught those two more than anyone, including college and high school,” Moore said. “I also want to thank Dale for all the work he’s done for the team and down at Norse.” Stoughton (3-0) is at Albion on Sunday and at home Monday against McFarland (1-2). The Muskies will be the home team due to construction at their field. Both games start at 1 p.m. Utica (1-2) hosts Fort Atkinson at 1 p.m. The A’s travel to Clinton (0-3) on Monday.
Girls track: Zaemisch wins title in pole vault Continued from page 13 took fourth in 10:10.61. Trieloff also joined the 4x400 relay with freshman Gina Owen, Ashworth and Kittleson, and they were able to make up ground on Verona in the final two legs to take third in 4:20.24, dropping almost 10 seconds from their seed time. Craig won in 4:12.75, and Oregon was second in 4:15.62. Arnold said both relays should be ready to contend for state. The 4x800 had more to give, as all the runners made sure to save their legs for other races, and the 4x400 is young with a high ceiling. “I think all of them are ready with a couple of days to rest and recover,” Arnold said. “With the 4x400, we are a young team. … I think learning more about the race – learning when to go hard, when to kick, etc. – is the strategy going into sectionals. But I think it is there, and I am really hopeful.” Sophomore Micah Zaemisch had to wait until Tuesday afternoon to compete in the pole vault, due to a steady rain forcing the event to be moved a day. Zaemisch came in seeded third, and there were five vaulters who had a seed height of 9 feet and only four that could advance to sectionals. But Zaemisch ended up breaking her own personal record to win a regional title with a height of 10 feet. Her previous best was 9-0. “She has been a stud for us all year and is actually our leading points scorer,” Arnold said. Junior Margaret Ross and Owen also made sectionals in distance events. Owen took fourth in the 1,600, making up several meters to get into the sectional field. She finished in 5:39.10, ahead of teammates Kittleson (5:40.08)

Stoughton freshman Ellie Trieloff (middle) runs her first career varsity 800 in the second leg of the 4x800 relay Monday at the Verona regional. Trieloff joined juniors Alex Ashworth and Abby Kittleson and sophomore Grace Jenny to take second in 9 minutes, 56.63 seconds and advance to sectionals. Trieloff was also on the 4x400 relay that took third and advanced to sectionals. and sophomore Molly Olstad (5:41.56). Craig senior Peyton Sippy won in 5:24.85. La Follette senior Christine Hole Svennings (5:28.01) and Monona Grove freshman Teal Coil-Otto (5:37.07) were next. Arnold said Owen’s kick at the end of the race was not expected and shows there is more to come from her earlier in the race that will make her a contender at sectionals, as well. Ross was fourth in the 3,200 in 11:56.06. Jenny came into the race seeded higher than Ross, but while she didn’t have the time she wanted, taking seventh in 12:03.92, Jenny had pushed and challenged Ross all season, Arnold said. “There is a ton of talent in this regional, so I was really happy that we got someone to advance,” Arnold said. “It wouldn’t be possible without (Ross and Jenny’s) teamwork
together.” Sippy won the 3,200 in 11:33.31. Monona Grove freshman Peighton Nelson (11:43.79) and La Follette senior Christine Hole Svennings (11:45.22) were next. Sophomore Riley Royston and freshman Savy Burroughs were also close to sectional spots, each missing out by one place. Royston had never competed in the triple jump before, but she reached 31-8 to take fifth. Mount Horeb senior Rileigh Cipri was less than a foot ahead of her in 32- 7 1/2. Burroughs missed almost the entire season with injuries, but she came back to take fifth in the 200 in 27.87, missing the last sectional spot by .38 to Verona senior Emelia Lichty (27.49). “I was very pleased and excited with the girls today,” Arnold said. “I think they did amazing.”
of seniors Jake Deutsch, Ian Bormett and Sean McLaury to a fourth-place finish in 3:31.18. And that time came with a dropped baton on the third leg that could have saved two to three seconds. McLaury was a big reason for sectional berth. He passed two runners on the second leg and had some extra motivation after a controversial disqualification in the 800. McLaury looked to finish second in the 800, but officials said he touched the line too many consecutive times, and they took away his sectional berth. Kramolis said he felt the cones were not properly set up on the line, and he said a referee confirmed that at least one cone wasn’t where it should be. Nevertheless, after an appeal, McLaury remained disqualified, and officials later fixed the cones. Kramolis didn’t agree with how his appeal was handed. “Everything was kind of iffy about stuff, and they admitted that the cones were off,” he said. “Well, if that was the case, (McLaury’s) line was up.” Kramolis said he talked with athletic director Mel Dow and hopes an appeal will be made to the WIAA to see if they can reverse the ruling and get McLaury
through in the 800. “Now a kid moves on with a way slower time, and I just don’t think that is fair,” Kramolis said. McLaury was visibly upset, but Kramolis told him to channel that anger into the 4x400. And he did. McLaury ended up running the fastest leg for the Vikings at 51.0. McLaury is also an alternate on the 4x800 team that made sectionals. Senior Emmett Post, junior Parker Flint, sophomore Evan Herbst and Bormett took third in 8:21.02, less than five seconds behind Monona Grove (8:16.91). Kramolis said if McLaury doesn’t get to move on in the 800 after appeal, he can put him in the 4x800, and that would drop five seconds on the race based on McLaury’s usual time in the 800. “We had it set up without Sean even being in it, and just looking at the other regional, our time would have won that regional on paper,” Kramolis said. Senior Evan Ouk also advanced to sectionals in the pole vault, which was postponed to Tuesday afternoon because of a steady rain. Ouk was returning from a scary moment at conference when his pole bent wrong and he was thrown off the mat. Ouk escaped serious injury but was taken
to a hospital and treated for bruising. On Tuesday, he reached 13-0 and took second place. to advance to sectionals. Although no one else made sectionals, there were some surprise finishes, including senior Weston Beylor in the 100 and Deustch in the 200. Neither expected to make the finals, but both did. Deutsch took fifth in the 200 in 23.79, missing sectionals by .36 to Beloit Memorial junior Eric Bridges (23.43). Beylor finished seventh in the 100 in 11.82. Sophomore Nathan Hutcherson also just missed sectionals in the triple jump. He took fifth with a leap of 39- 1/2, finishing behind Beloit Memorial sophomore Shelvin Garrett (40-11). Sophomores Quinn Arnott and Zak Finholt made the finals in the long jump, and Finholt joined Hutcherson in the triple jump finals. Senior Tommy McClain finished his high school career with a sixth place in the shot put (48-8 3/4). “Overall if things all swayed in our favor toward the end of the season, we could do a lot better,” Kramolis said. “I think it is a good ending point for a lot of the kids, because they did really, really well and they have something to look forward to.”

Bolland: Served in the army for 17 years before settling in Stoughton in 1960 Continued from page 1 his colleagues from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) were honored this spring with the nation’s highest civilian award, in a ceremony attended by their descendents and around 20 of the remaining living OSS members. The 12,000-some members of the OSS – predecessor of the modern-day CIA – were collectively presented with the Congressional Gold Medal during ceremonies at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on March 21. House and Senate leaders presented the medal at the ceremony, attended by Bolland’s son, Matthew, and family members who barely beat a late-winter storm to get into the nation’s capital. “They closed the government but they let us into the Capitol,” he told the Hub. “I’m sure he would have been honored and greatly appreciative of a nation that finally gave recognition not only to him, but all the brave men and women who served in the OSS. “I just wish he could have been with us to have been part of the ceremony.” The highlight of the ceremony, Matthew Bolland said, was seeing the code name of the operation his father led on the back of the medal. “I thought, my goodness, if we have grandkids, take ’em out to the Smithsonian, where this going to be on permanent display, and tell them about their grandfather,” he said. “What an amazing legacy. A lot of stories are coming about now about the heroics these people did.” And he’s helping tell those tales, aided by his father’s habit of meticulously saving everything from uniforms to binders full of maps, orders, commendation, photos and handwritten notes. “He saved everything,” Bolland said. “Like a lot of (soldiers), he kind of considered it just a pause in their life to do their duty and then come back.” As it turns out, service to his country was more than just a pause in Bolland’s life, as he spent 17 years in the Army and OSS. He served in the National Guard before attending the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., graduating in 1934 as a second lieutenant with a bachelor’s degree in military engineering. “He was the only nonpolitical appointee out of Minnesota,” Matthew Bolland said.

At his Stoughton home, Matthew Bolland goes over his father’s maps of the D-Day invasion, showing the Merderet River area where his father jumped in with the 82nd Airborne in June 1944. Bolland also has his father’s OSS-issued compass, silk escape maps of Norway, Sweden and Germany and half of a false penny, possibly used to conceal a cyanide pill in case of capture. “I’m not sure what they put in it,” he said. “He got there on merit.” Trained as everything from an expert rifleman to paratrooper and pilot, Bolland had risen to the rank of lieutenant colonel when he joined the OSS in 1944 after hearing about a plan to parachute Norwegian-speaking commandos into that country. Soon, he was leading a sabotage mission for America’s first spy organization and helping win World War II. By the war’s end, he was recognized by King Haakon VII for the liberation of Norway, receiving the highest honor given to a non-Norwegian citizen. Bolland served in the OSS until it disbanded in May 1945.
Kaffe stewed While the United States didn’t enter World War II until attacked in December 1941, Norway had already been attacked, defeated and occupied in a brief battle against German troops in spring 1940. Bolland first heard what was happening back in the old country in December 1942, when he grabbed a quick cup of coffee at an officer’s mess in Camp Benning, Georgia. Just back from the 10th Mountain Division in Colorado, where he was outfitting his battalion with ski equipment, as he looked for a table, he noticed a familiar flag on an arm patch and sat down next to its owner,
War stories Operation ‘Rype’ By spring of 1945, the war was clearly in favor of the Allies, but the Germans, who swept through the country in a matter of months in spring 1940, still occupied much of Norway with around 150,000 troops. And while the recent Allied invasion of Normandy opened a front in France, it also meant one wouldn’t happen in Norway. There, resistance would have to be covert. And that’s where the OSS came in. Created in the early months of the war to centralize military intelligence, the organization conducted everything from spy operations
introducing himself in Norwegian. A slightly surprised Norwegian Army major Axel Petersen, there to help the U.S. army develop cold-weather and snow gear for mountain troops, introduced himself, and the two struck up a conversation about Norway, and how the people were faring under German occupation. Peterson put things in simple terms, lamenting, “today in Norway you can’t even get a cup of coffee.” That got Bolland a bit indignant, though not without typical Scandinavian humor. He wrote his reaction in his journal, complete with exclamation point. “You can’t deny a Norwegian his coffee!” Bolland wrote. “Norwegians the world over will now rally against the Germans.” “So you see, he kind of had a sense of humor about all of it,” Matthew Bolland said.
‘I want in’ As his career in the Army advanced, his talents and responsibilities grew, earning a spot on an elite rifle team, and qualifying as a paratrooper and pilot of gliders and transport airplanes. In June 1944, days after a successful Allied landings in northwest France had opened a new front, Bolland literally jumped into the war. A member of the 82nd Airborne Division, he participated
in critical missions to seize bridgeheads along the Merderet River, fighting there for several weeks and earning a promotion to lieutenant colonel of the 507th Parachute Battalion for his efforts. In November, the unit was training in England when Bolland heard that dozens of Norwegian-speakers from the Army’s 10th Mountain Division were getting parachute training, and working with British commandos on raids into France. It turned out the OSS was starting a “Scandinavian section,” recruiting dozens of American soldiers who, like Bolland, could speak Norwegian. “He went to the higher-ups and said, “I want in,’” Matthew Bolland said. Before the end of the year, Bolland was in the OSS – training in Scotland to lead parachute demolition teams into the remote mountains of Norway. In the U.S. Army’s first and only combined ski-parachute operation, in March 1945, eight B-24 Liberator bombers took off from a clandestine base in Sweden, though only half made successful drops in Norway, with two crashing, killing dozens of men. Others, including Bolland’s, made it safely, destroying bridges, bottling up enemy troops in Norway and “drastically hindering the German war effort,” according to the CIA history of the operation.
enemy troops from returning home to participate in the war’s final battles in Germany.

At right is Norwegian NORSO member Herbert Helgesen, a colleague of Bolland’s. “The Norwegians recognized the American loss of life on their soil on behalf of their freedom, and the alliance between the two countries was strengthened.”
Postwar life After the war, he got married. Bolland had met his future wife, Eileen Kelly, while he was on leave in New York City, attending an officers’ benefit. “My mom had a bet with a roommate to see who could end up dating the highest-ranking officer that night, Matthew Bolland said. “(The roommate) came in with like a sergeant; mom comes in with a lieutenant colonel.” When they were engaged after the war, he lived in Minnesota and she lived in New York, and the relationship was a long-distance one, with him driving almost nonstop to visit her. On his way through, he would often stop in Madison to get his hair cut, Matthew Bolland said, and liked the area. “One day he asked about a good place to retire someday, and they happened to mention Stoughton was a nice community and had a big Norwegian heritage,” he said. “That was it.” Before he retired, Bolland
American officers to hand over secret plans for a British raid on Norway that could affect his own mission. Those same methods were later used to bluff enemy troops into surrendering. “He noticed every day these British guys would kind of secretly go to this office building, and figured something was up,” Bolland said. “He noticed a binder that read “Operation Woodlark,” so when they left, he goes over and says, ‘Could I check that over to make sure there’s no repetition between what (we’re) doing,’ and she said, ‘Yeah, just put it back where you found it.’ “Well, he brought it back to his commanding officer, they poured
had more work to do with the military. He led troops in Korea from October 1948 until 1950, helping to secure the demilitarized zone (DMZ) in between what would become North and South Korea. “He said it was one of the most miserable experiences he ever had,” Matthew Bolland said. “I think he had to order some patrols to go on suicide missions.” Later, he was stationed in Sapporo, Japan, helping oversee the military occupation and rebuilding of that country before he retired in 1951 on full disability. He returned to the United States and later moved with his family to Stoughton in 1960, where he and his wife raised six children and lived for the rest of their lives. “He was indeed part of the ‘greatest generation,’ making personal sacrifices for the sake of the common good,” Matthew Bolland said. “After all these years, they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. (They) took great risks and their stories can now finally be told.” Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott.delaruelle@wcinet.com.
over it and got it back within 20 minutes – the British were trying to do the same thing.” Once on the ground in Norway, he used deception – and some local assistance – to persuade German troops defending the vital airport in Varna they were hopelessly surrounded, using nothing more than farm machinery and bluster. “There was a big berm, so he recruited every farmer with an oxcart or tractor and said, ‘Go back and forth behind there and make a big dust cloud, rev the engine and slam the doors,” Matthew Bolland explained. “Then he walked up to the sentry and had the guy surrender.”
