Flipping into the future The Stoughton High School Class of 2019 walked across the stage at Collins Field Sunday, June 2, in front of family and friends at the school’s commencement ceremony. The 242 students listened to speeches about the history, “state of the class” and their future from classmates, as

well as from school district officials. After receiving their diplomas, students walked to the open part of the field to toss their caps in the air before reuniting with their friends and family in the middle of the field to take photos.

Making safety drills as realistic as possible without causing additional stress to staff and students was a topic of discussion Monday as district officials reviewed the latest security training exercises at schools. As part of an update on the Stoughton Area School District’s ongoing ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate) training, buildings and grounds supervisor Luke Butz called ALICE “one of the most important pieces of our overall safety program.” Butz, who recently completed certification to be

an ALICE trainer, helped coordinate the “active threat drills” at each of the schools late last month and another at the beginning of the year. “The whole premise is empowering all of our students and teachers to make their own decisions to be able to deal with a violent intruder, or any type of intruder within our buildings,” he said. Feedback on both drills has inspired some changes, including the type of simulated weapons used. Board member Jon Coughlin said he’s heard reservations from some staff about the use of the simulated weapons. Butz said past drills have included realistic-looking airsoft guns that shoot pellets and that those have changed since the first training.

It was around 2 a.m. on May 25 when Stoughton Utilities director Jill Weiss got the phone call. She was awakened by utilities support staff who were alerted to power outages by the Stoughton Police Department dispatch. More than a quarter of Stoughton Utilities customers were without power during the ordeal, and Public Works and Stoughton Fire Department staff were out from the early morning hours into the afternoon assisting with

the storm clean up. In addition to the work of dozens of city staff, four surrounding communities offered utilities assistance to help with the power outages. The restoration efforts were so severe that Weiss made the call around 7 a.m. to request emergency assistance from Municipal Electric Utilities of Wi s c o n s i n ( M E U W ) , which organized help from Brodhead Water and Light, Waunakee Utilities, Jefferson Utilities and Evansville Water and Light. “We were concerned about the damage but were also concerned about pulling the trigger too quickly,” Weiss said. She explained that her team waited until daylight

Stoughton Transit gets another handicap van Council approves new

Federal grant supports growing shared-ride service AMBER LEVENHAGEN Unified Newspaper Group

About 30,000 rides a year are taken on the city’s shared-ride taxi system, and that workload is going to get a little easier. The City of Stoughton’s ride share program will get a third handicapped-accessible vehicle in the next few months with the acceptance of a $29,600 state grant Tuesday, May 28. The grant is from the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program, which helps provide transportation services to seniors and people with disabilities. The grant is in partnership with Madison’s Metro Transit, which

will coordinate the logistics for purchasing the van. The vehicle will be delivered likely in the late summer or early fall, finance director Jamin Friedl told the Hub, based on his conversations with Madison Metro coordinators. The grant, awarded in February, will pay the city 80 percent of the total cost of the $37,000 van for Stoughton Transit’s use. The remaining funds are from the city’s 2019 budget. Running, Inc., which took over the Stoughton taxi service last year, operates with four Dodge Caravans, two of which are wheelchair-accessible. The service typically assists people who are elderly or have disabilities, but the service is described as benefiting anyone who needs a ride, including kids. The grant application, which was shared with the Hub earlier this

year, explains that the city’s elderly and disabled population is growing, which has resulted in an increased demand in ride share services. An additional 4,000 trips are estimated with the addition of the van. “The new vehicle cannot possibly be fully utilized in its first year, but its usage will grow each year and max out at about 6,000 one-way trips per year,” the grant application explains. The service, which costs riders $4.50 ($3.50 for seniors and disabled) for a trip anywhere in the city and up to three miles outside Stoughton, is subsidized by a grant from the state.

KPW seeks comp plan change Commission to consider at next meeting AMBER LEVENHAGEN Unified Newspaper Group

A plan to build the first 18 homes behind the Kettle Park West commercial center on the city’s west side will go to a public hearing Monday before what could be its final approvals – a rezoning and final plat. The Plan Commission will consider recommending approval of the final plat for the KPW North Addition, which includes the homes off of Aspen Trail near Oak Opening Drive. The rezoning requires a public hearing for those changes, which include changing parts of the

west-side site from rural holding to single-family residential and institutional. No public feedback was offered during the last few public comment periods, most recently during last week’s Common Council meeting, but alders and city staff have shared feedback over the last few weeks related to stormwater management, the connection of Oak Opening Drive to U.S. Hwy. 138, the grading of the site and the character of the neighborhood, which developers hope to avoid the “Levittown model” where every home looks the same. The commission will consider sending the final plat and certified survey map to the council for final approval.

right-of-way rules AMBER LEVENHAGEN Unified Newspaper Group

A new city regulation aims to protect public safety and avoid disasters like the Sun Prairie explosion that left one dead late last year. The Stoughton Common Council voted unanimously to restrict right-of-way access during last week’s meeting, creating stricter regulations for contractors working in public spaces around the city. The change will affect agencies that would do water, sanitary, sewer or gas work, as well as road repairs and boring. It is intended to help hold those agencies accountable and contractually obligate them to operate within the city’s defined safe practices, explained public works director Brett Hebert. “We acknowledge that those who provide a public service have a right to the right-of-way, but need to have an approach to regulate them when they come into our community,” Hebert explained at the meeting. Mayor Tim Swadley said city administration hoped to avoid what happened in Sun Prairie last year, when a gas line explosion leveled a city block, leaving one dead and dozens of buildings severely damaged. “Businesses are going to look for loopholes to avoid cost, and this is the best attempt to do as much as we can based on the info we have at this time to protect our citizens and

encourage the companies to come in here and have a seamless process to come in and do their work,” Swadley said. The ordinance amendment changed the existing language to include contractors and subcontractors, as well as including a new permit application process. For example, the ordinance specifies the amount of space that can be used by a contractor, such as not blocking more than one-third of any street or alley, as well as fees and termination clauses if a contractor were to violate any of the regulations defined by the ordinance. In addition to those changes, Hebert introduced an excavation permit that would require contractors and subcontractors to apply and work with the city in order to operate in the public rightof-way. The ordinance outlines standards and regulations regarding street openings, obstructions, temporary street signs private property in the right-of-way and the procedure for requesting approval to work. The permit requires contractors to identify not only themselves but also the subcontractors working on the project, the project timeline and location, its purpose and the type of work activity, which includes water service, storm sewer, gas and telecommunications.

Dunkirk OKs new county zoning County Board approved comprehensive revision earlier this year In March, the Dunkirk Town Board approved a resolution adopting a Dane County ordinance amendment that represents the first comprehensive revision in the county zoning ordinance’s history. Over the course of 2019, Dane County Department of Planning and Development staff will be working with town plan commissions, town boards and landowners to assist in the final adoption

of the new zoning ordinance. If there are errors in adopted zoning maps, the Department of Planning and Development will also work with town boards to correct them through town-initiated rezone petitions. Town residents should have received a postcard in the mail earlier this spring notifying them of any proposed change in zoning on their property. For information on the new zoning ordinance, call the county at 2664251. – Scott De Laruelle

Barb Lowe

School/ role: Fox Prairie Elementary School third Heidi Hubing grade teacher Years in education SASD: 27 What were the most challenging/satisfying parts about your job? I am proud to say that I helped shape lives and had a lot of wonderful people to work with each year. What are your plans for retirement? I plan to travel more, spend time with my two grandchildren, family and friends, walk, read, and see what opportunities come my way.

Other retirees

Milt Sperle

Mary Scott

School/role: Stoughton High School educational assistant – library Years in education SASD: 31 What got you interested in a career in education? After moving back to Wisconsin from Indiana in 1986, Barb Lowe I started volunteering at Kegonsa Elementary School in the library for Ruby Hauge, librarian. This is where our three children went to school – twins Rebecca and Melissa in fifth grade, and Nicholas in first grade. What was your path to the Stoughton Area School District and why did you decide to come here? My college degree from MATC is medical secretary. There were no medical jobs available in Stoughton when we moved and I decided not to venture into Madison for employment. I volunteered in the Kegonsa library. When there was an opening for a health aide there part time, I interviewed for it and got that job. Having a clerical medical background helped. I was health aid for two years. Then an opening for educational assistant for reading specialists at Kegonsa, a full time position. At second semester 1998 there was an opening for Educational Assistant at the SHS Library. I always was an avid reader. and worked with Lonnie Brown librarian and now Cathy Gargano, library media specialist. What were the most challenging/satisfying parts about your job? Most satisfying part of my job is being part of the process for the high school kids who grow, succeed, graduate, and move onto great things. Do you have a favorite story or two about your time at SASD? I volunteered as often as I could – in concession stands, especially track and field; FFA activities; was a band volunteer when Nick was in band for four years, a chorus volunteer when our daughters were in chorus; Norwegian Dancer parent when our daughter Rebecca was an accordionist for three years. My best friend Mary and I still volunteer for Madrigal Dinner and I haven’t missed a year since starting in 1988. What are your plans for retirement? Attending more activities our grandchildren are involved in – Katie and Evan in Eau Claire, and Raina in Greenfield. I plan on continuing volunteering for SHS, Stoughton Opera House and FFA Alumni.

Colleen Reilly School/role: River Bluff Middle School seventh grade social studies teacher and block leader. Years in education SASD: This is my 29th year in Stoughton and I’ve always taught seventh grade social studies in the same block! What got you interested in a career in education? I come from a family of teachers; my mother and aunt were teachers. When I was in high school, however, I thought I wanted to be a legal secretary and took those kinds of courses and was in a co-op program my senior year where I worked at a Credit Union in Sun Prairie. It took me one semester of that to realize that office work was not my calling; I started at University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Elementary Ed program and never looked back. What was your path to the Stoughton Area School District and why did you decide to come here? To be quite honest, in 1990, I was a young teacher with a grades 1-8 degree, any subject area, looking for a job; any job. I was from Sun Prairie, but had friends in Photo submitted Stoughton who were in love with the comColleen Reilly, shown here with a student earlier this year, munity and encouraged me to apply. At the is one of several SASD educators retiring at the end of the time, River Bluff didn’t exist; it was Stoughton month. She taught for 29 years in the district. Middle School – a big old building on North Street with multiple floors and lots of nooks and crannies. I am so fortunate to have been chosen. I am now an “adopted daughter” of Stoughton. What were the most challenging/satisfying parts about your job? The most challenging part of my job has been meeting the needs of an ever-diversifying student population. There is no such thing as an “average” student anymore; they come to us with both exceptional talents and amazing capabilities as well as exceptional needs and challenges. The most satisfying parts of my job are too many to count, but I sure love the morning hugs I get from former students on a daily basis as well as the passion I still feel for what I teach; getting a seventh grader to be able to explain the Arab-Israeli conflict still puts a grin on my face. Do you have a favorite story or two about your time at SASD? Well, I remember when I was a new teacher that I was able to motivate certain students by doing a cartwheel in front of the class if they turned their work in on time. I also remember in my earlier years when seventh grade would take overnight outdoor education field trips; the whole block would go to (at first) Wyalusing State Park and then, in later years, the MacKenzie Environmental Center in Poynette. On one occasion, we had some rowdy boys who wouldn’t go to sleep and were making plenty of noise. The adult dad that we had brought along as a chaperone requested help. I entered the dorm to find that the boys, in the dark, had wet some of their t-shirts and underpants in the sink and were letting them fly across the room, hoping to soak a friend in another bunk. I had to put an end to that by sitting in a chair in the middle of their dorm in the dark until I could hear them all snoring. Gotta love seventh grade. What are your plans for retirement? I am looking forward to being able to travel in the fall and will be driving south to visit family and friends in the New Orleans area. I’ve also got a jewelry-making business that I’m hoping to be able to devote more time to and perhaps get into the craft-show circuit.

Whether you like to break out the Harley and full gear for a scenic cruise around south central Wisconsin or just your favorite four-wheeled ride, on Saturday you can do it on behalf of area veterans. The fourth annual Freedom Ride is Saturday, June 8, starting and ending at Stoughton American Legion Post 59 at 803 N. Page St. Riders — which can include motorcycles, autos, trucks and antique cars — can register and start anytime between 10-11:30 a.m. This year’s approximately 100 mile route will stop at Pine Bluff, Blanchardville, Belleville and back to Stoughton, at VFW Post 328 (200 Veterans Road). There, at 4:30 p.m., the riders will receive a police escort through downtown Stoughton back to the American Legion. The ride began in 2016 with about 100 participants, This year, around 150 are expected (around 85 percent motorcycles), said co-organizer Rick Gullickson. He said planning for the ride begins in December and meetings are held monthly. Each year, they select a different route

“with scenic beauty and safety two important factors.” The day prior to the ride, committee members travel the route, putting up directional signs and sweeping off loose gravel. In addition to the $20 per person entry fee, back at the Legion after the ride, participants are treated to a meal of brats, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, salad, chips and dessert. There will also be a silent auction, raffles and a best poker hand ($200 first prize). The post race meal, silent auction, and raffles are open to participants only, but people are encouraged to donate to the cause. Bud Erickson of Stoughton American Legion Post 59 said while most donations for the event are local, the ride has gained support throughout the state, with all proceeds going to help maintain the Stoughton Area Veterans Memorial Park. “It is growing and the community support is solid,” he said. “It’s exciting.” Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott.delaruelle@wcinet.com.

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.” – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NIV The advice to cultivate your friendships is good advice on a variety of levels. Having good and reliable friends provides the social support that all of us need. And there is good evidence that loneliness is a serious health risk, increasing your risk of high blood pressure, depression and dementia. The advice to cultivate your friendships is also particularly relevant in today’s highly mobile society. People often relocate because of school or work, and while technology can keep us connected even when we’re halfway around the world, too often we spend our free time diverted from the quality time we should be spending with people who matter to us. There are many ways to cultivate our friendships, and they all start with spending time with our friends and communicating with them when we can’t be with them physically. As always, the golden rule applies to friendship as to every other relationship, and counsels us to do the things for our friends that we would like them to do for us, such as lending an ear, helping in times of need, and just being there to share the good times and the bad. – Christopher Simon

Storm: Crews had to repair nine transmission poles after last week’s storm damage Continued from page 1 to make the call for help because the outside agencies would be lost in how and where everything operates in Stoughton, and she also wanted to make sure the damage was assessed correctly. The initial outage was caused by a transmission, so after that was immediately restored, crews focused on other damaged power lines and brought those back on. In total, nine transmission poles needed to be restored, and five trucks with nine different line techs came from the area utilities for support. “This is a significant event for us; we’re going to do a ‘lessons learned’ and reach out to the other entities involved and learn what we can do better in the future to be better prepared,” Weiss said. “As well as this went, I don’t think it could have been better, but there are some takeaways and ways that we can be better prepared for next time.” M a y o r Ti m S w a d l e y called the level of work “pretty impressive.” “The dedicated employees, not only from Stoughton but also area municipalities joined us in our efforts, and without them and their help we would have had a difficult time getting trees c l e a r e d a n d t h e p ow e r restored,” he said.

Fire, Public Works support Along with Utilities crews restoration efforts, the Stoughton Fire Department and Public Works crews were out for most of Saturday helping with the cleanup. Stoughton Fire Department chief Scott Wegner said his team was dispatched at

around 1:50 a.m. and sent to about a dozen different addresses. “There was an elevator rescue at Rosewood because the power went out and someone was stuck in the elevator,” Wegner said. The only fire was behind Cummins, because when the power came back on, there was a tree in contact with the powerline. So his team waited on standby while utility came to take care of the situation. Public works staff were first dispatched around 2:30 a.m. to assist with trees down on the roadways. “Our on-call staff person responded and immediately called his supervisor as he realized this was a much bigger event than just one limb down in the roadway,” public works director Brett Hebert said. Six staff members and Hebert were in on Saturday morning and worked for over 10 hours to clear debris and eliminate tree hazards. Hebert said 32 trees needed to be completely removed or hazards taken out, less than .5 percent of the entire city managed tree stock. “We have made a big push to trim our city-owned trees over the last few years and the benefits show during storm events like this one,” he said. Clean up citywide, will last weeks, Hebert said. “I am incredibly proud of the way staff all came together, assisted the situation, came up with a plan and executed the plan in an efficient manner,” he said. “We are A tree obliterated a shed on River Estate Lane. truly lucky to have the dedicated staff that we do.”

Smashing finale at state

Trieloff finished 10th in 400-meter dash at state MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor

S o p h o m o r e E l l i e Tr i e l o ff earned a chance to run on championship Saturday at the WIAA Division 1 state track and field meet. The Vikings had two top-12 performances on Saturday, June 1, at the state meet at UW-La Crosse’s Veterans Memorial Stadium. Trieloff finished 10th in the 400-meter run with a time of 1 minute, 2.93 seconds. It was well behind the time she ran in the preliminaries on Friday (1:00.56) to earn the final spot in the finals. “I made it to the finals, and I don’t have anything to lose,” Trieloff said after finishing her race in the prelims on Friday. “I just feel super accomplished because I have put in all of this hard work, and it’s starting to pay off.” Coach Deanna Arnold was excited to see Trieloff make the finals in her first time at state. “Ellie is just a stud,” Arnold said. “She’s someone you hope to coach. You hope you have 20 of them. To get to experience this level is really big for her.” Junior Micah Zaemisch cleared 10 feet, 6 inches to finish 12th in the pole vault. It was just off her personal-best 10-9 she made at the sectional. Arnold said Zaemisch had a couple of good attempts at 11-0, the school record. “I think she can make 11-0 next year and get the school record,” she said. “I know that is what she is shooting for.”

The Vikings’ 4x800 relay team of seniors Anna Wozniak, Margaret Ross and Abby Kittleson and sophomore Gina Owen took 22nd (10:01.95). Arnold said all of the 3,200 relay runners went out hard trying to hang with the competition and may have had tired legs after setting a personal-record time at the sectional by 12 seconds. “The goal was just to make it to state,” she said. “At state it’s kind of all or nothing and I think the girls got popped out a little bit.” On Friday, the Vikings’ 4x100 relay team of sophomore Savy Borroughs, senior Peighton Trieloff and freshmen Annie Tageman and Abigail Groleau took 23rd in 50.60. In the 4x400 relay, the team of senior Alex Ashworth, freshman Victoria Ashworth, senior Anna Wozniak and Ellie Trieloff placed 23rd (4:11.95). Arnold said Ellie Trieloff could have just shut it down in the 1,600 relay and saved her energy for the 400 finals. “She came out and was determined to pick off one person,” Arnold said. “She works hard for the team and not just for herself.” Arnold said the goal for the 1,600 relay team was to make it to state. “We had Sun Prairie in our sectional so it was tougher to make it to state this year,” she said. “I think they were at their optimum fitness level last week at the sectional. I think they were a little burnt out.” Groleau placed 22nd in the prelims of the 100 (12.85).

Brickson named first team Oregon co-op reaches state tournament for third straight year JEREMY JONES ​Sports editor

Senior Maddie Brickson capped a decorated career for the Stoughton softball team, being named to the Badger South All-Conference first team for the third straight year. The team’s starting shortstop and lead-off hitter, Brickson was one of four Vikings who made the team. Junior Kailey Hammersly earned second team honors and sophomores Savanna Jemilo and Makayla Ramberg received honorable mention recognition. Stoughton finished the season 2-15 overall (1-12 conference). Brickson led the team, scoring 17 runs and finished second on the team in slugging percentage (.527), on-base percentage (.429), batting average (.345), hits (19), tied

for second with 12 singles and third with five doubles. She had an .843 fielding percentage and 61 put outs as the most experienced infielder for the Vikings. “Maddie’s graduation will definitely leave an opening to fill, that goes without saying,” coach Toni Fischer said. “She’s been our starting shortstop for four years, so we have big shoes to fill, but are confident that we have the talent to fill it.” Hammersly earned second team honors as a pitcher, although she did the majority of her talking this season with a bat in her hands. The junior appeared in all but 11 of the team’s 108 innings over 17 games this season. Struggling with control at times, she struck out 54 and walked 49. She allowed 53 earned runs to go along with a 3.85 ERA.

“It was more innings than she was prepared to throw but she did it,” Fischer said. “She is going to be fun to watch next season and she knows she is going to be our No. 1 pitcher again, so she is preparing to hit the circle at full strength at the start of the 2020 season.” She led the team in slugging percentage (.875), batting average (.438), on-base percentage (.526), hits (21), doubles (9), home runs (4) and RBIs (19). She was also second on the team with 13 runs score. Jemilo, a catcher and Ramberg, an outfielder, were named to the honorable mention team. Jemilo was a second-team selection last year. She and Hammersly tied for the team lead with nine walks apiece. “Savanna called the

Merchants hold off late-game rally in McFarland JEREMY JONES

What’s next

​Sports editor

Stoughton first baseman Dave Hanson has played Home Talent baseball for so long not even he is sure just how many years it’s been. The veteran, who believes it’s been 19 years, went 3-for5 with a two-run double Sunday, June 2, in a 7-6 Southeast Section rivalry win in McFarland. Yonardo Herdenez (pitcher/outfielder) tossed 2 2/3 innings of relief and also plated two runs to help the Merchants. “Games like these are character-makers,” Stoughton manager Dale Seffens said. “We were getting a lot of twostrike and two-out hits early but you have to give McFarland credit for never giving up.” Stoughton scored four of seven runs with two outs and now leads the section with a 5-0 record after the win. Jefferson is 4-1 and Albion is 3-1. McFarland dropped to 1-3 with the loss. Hanson had been struggling prior to Sunday and was moved down to the No. 8 spot in the lineup. Sunday was anything but a struggle for the veteran, who opened the game with three straight hits,

Yonardo Herdenez throws a strike during the seventh inning of Sunday’s 7-6 Southeast Section win over McFarland. including a two-run double that sparked a four-run fourth inning to give the Merchants a 7-1 lead. “It takes me a while to get back into baseball shape,” said Hanson, who has a wife and two young children. “I don’t have a lot of opportunities in the offseason to get in a lot of swings and baseball is all about repetition.” Despite jumping out to a

big lead early, the Muskies fought their way back into the game with five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. McFarland loaded the bases with one out, drawing two walks and a single off Stoughton ace Ben Riffle. Following a timeout, Eric Seeliger cracked a two-run single into the right center field gap, which drew the Muskies to 7-3 and drove Riffle from the

game. Herdenez got the first batter he saw to ground out to Jake Wenzel at third before he walked Greg Riese to reload the bases. Schreiber singled home two runs for McFarland and Reid Simon singled home another to cut the lead to one run, 7-6, with two outs. Herdenez got out of the inning, inducing Brett Strode to ground out.

“McFarland is a really good hitting team and this all-synthetic field really encourages a lot of hits,” Hanson said. “I think we just got a bit complacent with the big lead.” Riffle tossed 6 1/3 innings, allowing five runs on nine hits and three walks. He struck out three. Herdenez gave up one run on four hits and walk in relief. Brady Wedvick started for McFarland and allowed six runs on eight hits and six walks over five innings. He struck out three. Schreiber took the loss, giving up one run on five hits and three walks in four innings of relief. Early on the game was all Stoughton as catcher Ryan Nyhagen hit a two-run single and Herdenez added an

RBI single to spark a four-run fourth inning. Herdenez helped his cause with two RBIs, including the eventual game-winner in the top of the seventh inning with one out. Caleb Broege led off the inning with a single to right field before Hanson grounded out. Tanner Klitzke and Ervin Medina were subsequently hit by a pitch and walked by McFarland relief pitcher Nick Schreiber to set the table for Herdenez, who flew out to right field. Broege scored on the diving catch to put Stoughton up 7-1. Chris Lund followed, reaching base on a throw that pulled the Muskies’ first baseman off the bag. Stoughton was unable to do any further damage, though, as Nyhagen struck out for the second straight inning with runners in scoring position.

Night League Stoughton opened the Thursday Night League with a 3-1 loss to Cottage Grove last week. Erick Sperloen got the start for the Merchants, who carried 1-0 lead into the sixth inning. Medina came on in relief and Cottage Grove rallied with three runs.

Notice Stoughton Utilities

Fox Prairie Working for Kids would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to the following community businesses and organizations who have sponsored our Fox Trot fun run in the past two years. Your contributions helped us meet our fundraising goal and contribute significant funding to our school’s new playground!

Stoughton Utilities will be conducting its regular Flushing Program of water mains and fire hydrants. Flushing operations will be conducted weekdays between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. starting Monday June 10th and will conclude approximately the first week of August. Flushing is done by opening the fire hydrants. The purpose of flushing is to remove sediment and mineral deposits that settle on the bottom of the water mains. Some temporary discoloration of water may result. Water remains safe to drink; however, the discoloration could cause laundry stains. This condition may be cleared by opening the cold water faucets to full pressure briefly after flushing personnel have left the area. Please call one of our Customer Service Representatives at 873-3379 or visit us online at www.stoughtonutilities.com if you have any questions regarding our Flushing Program.

ALICE: Training supervisor said he received ‘decent feedback’ on ALICE safety drills Continued from page 1 Now, he said, training sessions use a simulated weapon that fires small Nerf balls. “We will be using different training tools this year that won’t be quite as abrasive,” he said. “It’s not that we’ve had many incidents in the past, but we’re going to do some different things this year.” Board member Steve Jackson asked how else the drills could stay realistic, and Butz said the simulated weapons are fired at a velocity “where someone can feel they’ve been hit.” District business manager Erica Pickett, who is an ALICE trainer, said the intent of using simulated weapons isn’t to simply scare people, but to provide a more realistic scenario where there is “some sort of an

‘We will be using different training tools this year that won’t be quite as abrasive.’

ALICE training at SASD The Stoughton Area School District moved to the ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate) model in 2016, after members of the safety committee attended a two-day training to receive certification to bring the program to the district. All staff are required to do online training, which is updated every year. ALICE replaces the previous method used by the district, which had staff lock down classrooms and shelter in place. Instead, it has a primary goal of escaping the area if possible and resisting if necessary. indicator whether something has hit you.” “You start that scenario where you do a traditional lockdown where you used to tell kids to hide under the desk with the lights off, and when you debrief, you ask people how many of you would have been hit in that

situation, and it’s pretty much everybody,” she said. “As you progress through the (ALICE) training … its dramatic how few people are actually hit, even with the potential intruder being very close to them.” Pickett said as a parent of two students in the district, she

– Luke Butz, buildings and grounds supervisor understands the concerns about the realistic aspects of the drills, but it’s part of today’s reality. “This is the world our kids have grown up in,” she said. “You want to do what you need to do to stay safe. Get somewhere and stay safe.” In general, the drills were “pretty effective,” Butz said. “We got some decent feedback from those, and we want to continue to improve on those,” he said. He noted the training is “tailored” to students, depending on their age range. “Obviously we’re not training an elementary student or giving

them the same information as we would at the high school,” he said. Coughlin asked about the possibility of school board members participating in training sessions to “better understand what we’re voting on,” something board president Frank Sullivan said they were definitely welcome to. Pickett said the next staff training is set of the week of new teacher orientation in August. “Anyone who wants to do that can go,” Sullivan said.

Stoughton Center for the Arts season closes The 2018-19 season for the Stoughton Center for the Arts has come to “a very strong close,” director Natalie Norlin said. Each year, the SCA dancers attend local competitions and multiple regional conventions and competitions as part of their training, including events in St. Louis, Chicago, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Detroit and Madison. At these conventions, the dancers take classes with popular artists in the dance industry, including choreographers and artists that work with stars like Jennifer Lopez and shows like So You Think You Can Dance and World of Dance. “The dance competitions are a great piece to their training and growth, but the dance conventions are a vital piece to their education,” Norlin said in a news release. “It’s fun to see the girls’ reactions when they realize they’re dancing in the same room as Eva Igo (World of Dance finalist, 2017) or Hannahlei Cabanilla (SYTYCD 2018 winner) comes up to them backstage and talks to them. These are celebrities in their eyes, people to aspire to, and yet they also prove that goals and dreams can be reached and they’re just normal teenagers.” The Music and Drama departments also had a strong season, with some of the musicians winning nominations for the Overture

Two drama students had the opportunity to perform with professional companies, one at the Fireside Theater in Fort Atkinson and one with Music Theater of Madison. To finish off their season, each department of the Stoughton Center for the Arts has their own annual showcase to display

Fitzsimmons honored with Gold A Stoughton High School graduate was recognized as one of the 12 Badgerland Girl Scouts to earn a Gold Award this school year. Emily Fitzsimmons, of Stoughton, was recognized at an April ceremony for her work creating a weeklong campaign to promote safe driving, according to a May news release from Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Badgerland. “A few days before my senior year I was in a bad car accident and because of the decisions made by the other driver, a teammate of mine passed away”

Fitzsimmons said in the release. “I go on living everyday seeing my classmates make similar choices and I wanted to show them how big of an impact it can have on someone’s.” Her safe driving campaign included speakers, activities and memorial bracelets. Through her efforts, more than 300 of her peers pledged to put down their phones and buckle their seatbelts. The campaign had its share of hardships, Fitzsimmons said, but she said it was all worth it when her classmates opened up to her and shared their appreciation. To earn the gold award, Girl Scouts must dedicate 80 hours to a “take action” project, which must make

a positive, sustainable difference in the community. Less than 5 percent of Girl Scouts earn the gold award, the release said. Joining Fitzsimmons as a 2019 Girl Scouts of Wisconsin-Badgerland Gold Award honoree are: Hannah Brockman from Sun Prairie, Andrea Grunwald from La Crescent, Jessica Janzen from Sparta, Savannah Kemerling from Lancaster, Emily Ledin and Sara Singer from Middleton, Eliza Lindley and Nya Lizdas from Mount Horeb, Rose Torti and Alison Weiss from Madison and Olivia Wuensch from Rockland. – Amber Levenhagen
