Air Force veterans Doug, Matt and Wendy Read in front of an F-16 similar to the type Doug flew in Iraq and around Wisconsin with the National Guard’s 115th Fighter Wing, based out of Madison.
Four generations of veterans Matt Read graduated first in class from Lackland AFB SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
When Matt Read graduated at the top of his class of 761 airmen from basic training at Lackland Air Force Base on Sept. 14, he joined an elite fraternity – the latest member of his family to become a veteran. The 2018 Stoughton High School graduate – already a member of the Wisconsin Air National Guard 115th Fighter Wing at Madison’s Truax Field – will spend the next six
months at Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, Texas, for training in the Intelligence career field, with plans to study aviation at Minnesota State-Mankato next fall. He’s the fourth generation to serve in the military, a tradition that goes back to World War II. His father, Doug, served 21 years as a pilot, including the last 10 with the Wisconsin Air National Guard 115th Fighter Wing before retiring in 2011. His mother, Wendy, served for four years as an office and nurse in the Air
Force (where she met Doug). Wendy’s father, John Schaefer served in the Navy. Matt’s grandfather, Roy Carpenter, served on an aircraft carrier in World War II, and his great-uncle, Don Carpenter, was a Navy pilot in the 1960s and ‘70s. Matt told the Hub last week he first got interested in the military after seeing his father and his fellow pilots do flyovers during Independence Day celebrations around Madison.

Stoughton High School boys cross country coach Pat Schneider completed his first New Yo r k C i t y Marathon on Sunday Schneider in a little less than 3 hours. Schneider, who is also a social studies teacher at SHS, was one of the faster men from Wisconsin, finishing 61st in his age group and 717th overall. About 50,000 runners participated in the race, which travels through all five boroughs of New York. “The caliber of runner is extraordinary,“ Schneider told the Courier Hub on Monday. “My time would win some smaller marathons.” Schneider said he had to walk at least part of the final mile due to cramping and dehydration. He estimates that about 200 people passed him during his 4 minutes of walking. “It’s the largest marathon in the world, and I have wanted to run it for years,” Schneider said. “It’s like a giant running parade. Everyone raves
about it, and I wanted the experience.” Schneider flew to New York City in hopes of running the marathon in 2012. Shortly after arriving in the city, he received a text from his friend that the race was canceled due to Hurricane Sandy. Schneider said the experience this year more than lived up to his expectations. “From start to finish, you are surrounded by people,” he said. “There are places where it is five spectators deep on the sidewalk.” Bands come out to play around the city on race day, he said. “It feels like the whole city becomes running fans for a day,” Schneider said. “Everywhere I went after the race, random people congratulated me.” Schneider has run seven marathons, with Milwaukee being his first and fastest, in 2 hours, 36 minutes. He also ran in Chicago (2005, 2013), the Fox Cities (2008), Boston (2009) and Madison (2014). Schneider said he’s not sure what running adventure will be next. “The adage is that you have to forget your last marathon before you run another,” he said. “I will

Bruno found not competent for trial Judge commits murder suspect to mental institute AMBER LEVENHAGEN Unified Newspaper Group
Te d B r u n o h a s b e e n found not competent to stand trial for the charge of first-degree intentional homicide in the stabbing
death of roommate Kim Gaida in Stoughton last November. Despite Bruno’s arguments against the results of the competency evaluation, Dane County Circuit Court Judge C. William Foust ordered him Wednesday morning, Oct. 31, to spend up to 12 months in a mental health facility. The psychologist who evaluated Bruno told the
Courier Hub
court with medical treatment, Bruno had the potential to become competent for trial. The evaluation does not analyze or determine Bruno whether he was competent at the time of the stabbing incident, for which Bruno could face life
in prison if found guilty. The case has been suspended until competency can be attained. Bruno could return for trial, which was originally scheduled to begin Oct. 16, after treatment is completed. The judge committed the state Department of Health Services to refer Bruno to a mental health institute, and

The Town of Dunn’s proposed budget calls for the same tax rate as last year. The proposed tax rate of $2.89 per $1,000 in value will be put before residents at the annual budget meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13, at Dunn Town Hall, 4156 County Road B. The final budget will be up for vote at the Dec. 17 Town Board meeting. A home with a local assessed value of $200,000 would pay $578 in the town share of its property taxes if adopted. That’s the same amount as last year, though in the town newsletter, town treasurer Cathy Hasslinger pointed out it’s actually a drop against assessed values, which did not change this year, meaning the town could have raised taxes but didn’t. The town’s homes will be reassessed next in 2020. This budget includes $510,000 in borrowing for road work and equipment, which if approved would push the town’s debt to about $2 million at the end of 2019. About $300,000 of that money would be used for road construction projects and the rest would be used to improve the town’s vehicles by buying a new patrol truck for $190,000 and adding salt-brining equipment to a second truck. Other expenditures include a $32,000 increase in public-safety costs for Fire and EMS services and law enforcement, a $2,000 increase for senior center services and a $36,000 reduction in intergovernmental revenue, which is due to the expiration or downsizing of grant programs. One example of that, Hasslinger said, is the pilot program to clean up leaves to prevent phosphorus leaching into the lakes that was funded at $20,000 for 2018 through Yahara WINS and $10,000 in 2019. The preliminary budget also includes money to replace some windows in Town Hall and $9,500 in a contingency fund if the 30-year-old air conditioning unit were to fail, Hasslinger said. The town is anticipating $70,000 in revenue from the sale of a parcel of land at
If You Go What: Town of Dunn annual meeting, budget hearing When: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13 Where: Dunn Town Hall, 4156 County Road B Info: 838-1081
4423 Goodland Park Road. The property could be used as a business or a residence, Hasslinger said, and $60,000 of the proceeds are earmarked for the parkland dedication. The town will be paying almost $12,000 less in general government costs, which covers legal fees, administration and elections, among other things. The planned road reconstruction projects are Orvold Park Drive, Woodland Road, a portion of Hawkinson Road, Edgewood Drive, Tura Road, Hart Circle and Fish Camp Road for $302,700. The town’s levy would increase $9,000, from $1.880 million to $1.889 million, due to new construction adding assessed value to the town. The tax rate compared to the town’s equalized value is dropping from $2.54 per $1,000 to $2.47 per $1,000, the newsletter pointed out, meaning the value of properties in the town is increasing faster than the levy. The preliminary budget maintains a general fund balance of just under $600,000 and also has about $100,000 more in the undesignated general fund balance. Hasslinger explained that money was originally dedicated in 2010 to deal with the cost of complying with new legislation, but was undesignated in 2019 because it hasn’t been an issue. If adopted, the town’s overall indebtedness would be $1.95 million at the end of the 2019 budget year, down from almost $3.2 million in 2009, but up slightly from around $1.7 million in 2017. Property tax bills will be mailed out in December after the town adopts a budget. Contact Alexander Cramer at alexander.cramer@ wcinet.com.

Vacant lot would get four-unit building ALEXANDER CRAMER Unified Newspaper Group
Several area groups are working together to build a facility to provide housing for those in Stoughton who struggle with homelessness. The proposed site will come before the Planning Commission to seek the rezoning it requires to move forward. The Wisconsin Partnership for Housing Development hopes to build four housing units on an empty, .4-acre lot on the corner of West Main Street and Pine Street on the city’s west side, according to application materials
If You Go What: Planning Commission meeting When: 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 12 Where: Council Chambers, Public Safety Building, 321 S. Fourth St. Info: ci.stoughton.wi.us submitted to the city. The commission will meet at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 12, in the Council Chambers at the Public Safety Building, 321 S. Fourth St. After a public hearing, at which members of the public can speak and engage with the commission, it is expected to offer
a recommendation to the Common Council whether to approve the zoning change. The parcel is zoned for single-family occupancy, and when the partnership purchased the lot in 2017, it contained a single-family home and a vacant lot. That lot has been split in two, with the home on one part at 309 Pine St. and the lot at 1125 W. Main St. The partnership plans to rehab and sell the home, according to its application. The city’s comprehensive plan supports the move, the application states, asserting future development should support affordable housing and infill housing. In September, the Housing Advocacy Team of Stoughton (HATS) learned
the project had received a $300,000 grant to help pay for the project. It would follow a “housing-first” model, HATS member and Ald. Sid Boersma (Dist. 1) explained at a City Council meeting, meaning the first goal would be to provide housing to those in need, then offer wraparound services such as counseling and case management from other area agencies. As part of grant application materials, the groups stated the Stoughton Area School District identified 71 children who lacked fixed, regular and adequate housing during the 2017-18 school year. The Common Council likely would take it up at its Nov. 27 meeting.
Bruno: Judge says defendant is ‘delusional’ about process Continued from page 1 the facility will be expected to periodically re-examine Bruno and submit updates to the court every three months. That decision comes 335 days after Bruno told police he broke a knife off in Gaida’s neck after the two had fought and stabbed one another. Bruno said Gaida stabbed him first, but after subduing Gaida by stabbing him 10 times, he told police, he left the room and returned to stab him one more time and ensure he was dead. While the six-page competency evaluation was not immediately available to the Hub, Foust said in court the evaluation stated Bruno exhibited “signs of unspecified schizophrenia.” “(He’s) delusional about the process, and that leaves him not firmly in touch with reality, and some of it shows through in his statements he’s said to me today,” Foust said. Among those statements from Bruno were claims that a previous attorney threatened to torture his daughter in exchange for an “incriminating letter” and that a medical device, implanted on his
heart without his permission, contained the last evidence of the conspiracy against him. “He set this up,” Bruno said of his attorney, Eric Schulenburg, whom Bruno had attempted to fire last month before Judge William Hanrahan rejected it. “This is all just a purposeful delay.” Bruno had exhibited distrust for his previous attorneys in this case. His first two court-appointed attorneys, Tracey Lencioni and Colleen Taylor, were fired by Bruno in March after he wrote in letters to Hanrahan that he doubted their competency. He said in several court appearances his legal representation was intentionally withholding information and court documents. Lencioni and Taylor called for the first evaluation, which found him competent for trial in March. Schulenburg requested the second competency evaluation Oct. 3, the same day the court filed a letter he wrote advising the judge Bruno had fired him. He said that he had become aware of information not included in the first evaluation and Hanrahan agreed to the second evaluation. In court Oct. 31, Bruno
repeated several times that he wanted to speak for himself and ask questions about the evaluation, but Foust did not allow him to do so, citing his legal representation. When Foust asked Bruno if he felt he was competent, Bruno replied, “absolutely.” The psychologist who evaluated him disagreed. Dr. Christina Engen, a psychologist with the Wisconsin Forensic Unit, met with Bruno for an hour-anda-half-long interview, she told the court Wednesday in a telephone call. Her evaluation, completed earlier in the month, found that while Bruno understands court proceedings, he is “evidencing signs of psychiatric disorder” and unable to understand the reality of the charges against him, she said. Bruno asked to question her after Schulenburg did in court Wednesday, stating he had letters that proved the evaluation to be false, but Foust did not let him. Engen said with medical treatment, Bruno had the potential to become competent for trial. The evaluation does not analyze or determine whether he was competent at the time of the

Teacher contracts approved SEA teachers will receive 2.13 percent base wage increase SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
Stoughton Area School District teachers will get a base wage increase of 2.13 percent this school year after the school board unanimously approved the Stoughton Educational Association contract Monday night. The contracts are retroactive to July 1. The agreement, which runs through
June 30, 2019, does not include staff members hired for this 2018-19 school year. School board president Frank Sullivan told the Hub the board is “very happy” to set the staff salaries so early in the school year. “In previous years, these negotiations have dragged on far longer than they needed to,” he wrote in an email. Sullivan said the board is also pleased with the “spirit in which both sides conducted these negotiations.” Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott.delaruelle@wcinet.com.

Thank You for Preventing Underage Drinking in Stoughton
On Thursday, October 25th, 2018, Stoughton Police, in partnership with the Stoughton Wellness Coalition conducted alcohol compliance checks. The compliance checks focused on licensed establishments checking prospective consumers for identification and ensuring the consumer was of the legal drinking age of 21 years. Licensed establishments were sent an educational letter in September indicating that compliance checks were forth coming and included an ID checking guide.
November 22, 2018 Community Newspapers Display & Classified Advertising: Friday, November 16 at Noon
Twenty-four licensed establishments were checked. Thirteen recognized that the prospective consumer was underage. Eleven did not and served alcohol to an underage person. Those eleven will be issued citations for Serving Alcohol to Underage Person. adno=34760

stabbing incident, for which he is charged with a Class A felony and could face life in prison if found guilty. Prosecutors Robin Lee and Galen Strebe requested involuntary medication administration, but Foust refused to allow it. “I’m not prepared to say he ought to be medicated just because the state wants a trial,” he said. While Engen agreed that medication would help Bruno’s condition, she said she did not talk to him during the interview about possible prescriptions or side effects because she said it was not in her medical background to do so. She told the court she had spoken with Bruno about the benefits of psychological treatment and Bruno adamantly refused it, continuing to explain he felt he was competent. The DHS could return to court and request that decision be reversed.

child of John and Olga Hermundstad, with older brother Jerold and younger sister Doris completing the family. He was raised on a small farm on the plains of western North Dakota during the Depression and Dust Bowl years, experiences that shaped him into a man of great character. Orin graduated from the University of North Dakota and earned his M.D. degree from Baylor College of Medicine in Texas. During his internship at St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth, Minn., he met Dorothy Johnson, a nurse at the hospital. Orin and Dorothy were married on January 29, 1955. They raised four children: Mark, Brian, Shelley and Greg. After completing his internship, Orin served two years in the Army. During that time, Orin and Dorothy lived in Texas, Colorado and Germany. When
he completed his military service, Orin and Dorothy settled in Stoughton to start Orin’s medical career and raise their family. In 1957, Orin began a family medical practice in Stoughton with a friend and colleague from medical school, Francis Schammel. In 1967, after much soul-searching, Orin decided to go back to school to specialize in ophthalmology. After completing his residency, he established the first ophthalmology practice in Stoughton. Orin was a man of many interests and talents. He had a lifelong passion for learning a wide variety of subjects. Recently, he spent time learning better ways to play the guitar, finding the newest technique to improve his golf game, engaging in mindfulness exercises and studying the great religions of the world. He was always excited to acquire new knowledge
and to discuss his latest discoveries with family and friends. Orin was a skilled craftsman, building things as diverse as a sailboat and a pool table. He also was a talented musician who loved to play the guitar, sing and listen to fine music. Although he was raised without much access to bodies of water (he used to joke about how the only place to swim when he was growing up was a nearby slough), he developed a love for water, most likely due to Dorothy’s influence. Orin and Dorothy took many trips to the Caribbean and they built a beautiful home on Lake Kegonsa in which they lived for over thirty years. Sailing was a big part of their life, and they owned several sailboats, large and small, on which the whole family spent many enjoyable hours. Orin was also a very caring and compassionate person. He and Dorothy went on several medical mission trips to
provide eye care services to people in remote areas of the Philippines. He cared deeply for his children and grandchildren, reveling in their accomplishments and worrying about their well-being. Orin was a special person who touched many lives with his compassion, his humor, his wisdom and his joy of life. Orin was deeply engaged in the Stoughton community. He was an active member of Covenant Lutheran Church. For many years, he was a member of Stoughton Village Players, Lions Club and numerous civic boards. He sang in the Grieg Chorus and loved the camaraderie of the group and the Norwegian music they sang. Orin and Dorothy were chosen to preside as Syttende Mai King and Queen in 2004. Orin was preceded in death by his wife Dorothy, his brother Jerold and his sister Doris. He is survived by his
sister-in-law Patricia Micklow and Patricia’s husband Judd Spray; his children Mark and Sara Hermundstad, Brian Hermundstad, Shelley and John Jansky, and Greg Hermundstad; his grandchildren Ann Hermundstad, Amy and Gary Nave, Mark Jansky and Kristin Jansky and many other nieces and nephews. A celebration of Orin’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Feb. 2, 2019, at Covenant Lutheran Church in Stoughton. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Covenant Lutheran Church in Stoughton or to the charity of your choice. Please share your memories of Orin at: www. CressFuneralService.com.

Dane County
Sound off on resource plan proposal Nov. 15 County seeks annual input on land, water management In a year that saw record flooding affecting hundreds of residents and costing millions of dollars in cleanup and rebuilding, managing the environment has become a hot topic around Dane County. Every year, the county asks its residents for advice and opinions to update its rolling, 10-year Land and Water Resource Management Plan, but this year might draw a bit more interest than usual. According to a county news release, the long-term strategic plan is used to develop annual work plans and apply for conservation grant funding. It includes an assessment of the county’s natural resource conditions and needs, with input from “local citizens, resource professionals and direct conservation efforts.” “The process and plan is a holistic approach to land and water resource management that focuses on partnerships and collaboration,” the release read. People are invited to attend the Dane

In the United States, we celebrate Thanksgiving every year on the fourth Thursday of November. But if the official holiday is the only time we are making a conscious effort to be thankful, then we are clearly deficient in giving thanks. Saint Paul advises us to “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Being in constant communion with God by praying at all times and giving thanks in all circumstances may seem impossible, but perhaps it isn’t as difficult as it might seem. Paul’s advice to the Thessalonians quoted above is in the co text of telling them to appreciate the hard work of those around them and admonishing them not to be idle or disruptive. Paul knows that we all have work to do, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t be praying and giving thanks in the empty gaps in our day. The internal monologue that all of us carry on throughout the day can often be filled with grumbling and rancor. The irritating boss or co-worker gives us a chance to develop patience. Give thanks at Thanksgiving but be determined to carry it over into the rest of the year. Being thankful at all times is perhaps the quickest and most direct route to a happy and blessed life. – Christopher Simon

A record perfect sweep
Bormett qualifies for state in four events JEREMY JONES Sports editor
In two years as a member of the Stoughton girls swimming team, sophomore Sofia Bormett is a perfect eight for eight breaking school records at sectionals. Bormett ended a nearly two-decade-old drought Saturday and was part of another four school records at the WIAA Division 2 Baraboo sectional meet, helping the Vikings qualify four events to this Friday’s state meet. She had close to a three second personal-best to win the 200-yard freestyle, breaking her own school record in 1 minute, 54.4 seconds. In the process, she became the Vikings’ first sectional champion since her coach Katie Talmadge (then Liebmann) won the 100 butterfly at the Division 1 sectionals in 2000. “To have four lifetime-bests, that’s big for a swimmer who swims yearround,” Talmadge said. “At the level she swims at, it gets harder and harder to get best times. To have a perfect meet like this, it’s a big deal. “An automatic state qualifier, that’s a wonderful perk.” The Stoughton sophomore finished second in the 200 free, breaking another of her own SHS benchmarks before helping the Vikings cap the meet with new school records in the 200 and 400 free relays. Between races, Bormett said she tried to stay calm and conserve energy. In one of her only missteps of the day, Bormett had to be directed to the correct block following her sectional championship. “I was not prepared. I thought I

Sophomore Sofia Bormett swims to a second-place finish in the 100-yard freestyle Saturday at the WIAA Division 2 Baraboo sectional meet in 52.2 seconds. Bormett qualified for this weekend’s state meet in the 100 and 200 free, and as part of the 200 and 400 free relays. had to be on the opposite side of the pool,” she said. “I was just very flustered. I got in the right spot eventually, that’s all that matters.” Bormett also qualified in the 100 free and as a member of the 200 and 400 free relays. Coming out of the break, Bormett dropped nearly one-and-a-half second to finish second in the 100 free, breaking another of her own school records with a 52.28. Bormett anchored Stoughton’s 200 free relay of sophomores Savy Boroughs, Ava Schigur and junior Leire Begona to a sixth-place finish in a school record 1:42.45.
“It’s beyond exciting because last year I wasn’t even part of the picture,” Boroughs said. “I was an angry, emotional mess after my 26.11 in the 50 free. I just cleared my head and did it for the team. It’s insane.” Bormett said with the Vikings being so close to the 200 free record at conference, she was positive the Vikings would break that six-yearold record. “It’s the 400 free relay that really got me,” she said. “I was so surprised. After the little fluster on Ava’s start, I was really worried.” Boroughs, Thompson, Schigur
and Bormett capped the meet with a school record 3:42.36. “For me personally, getting a school record as a senior, that was really big,” Thompson said. “It was really cool to see how our team excelled today.” Schigur was told she was going to be switched from the third to lead leg of the 400 free shortly before the race. “I was freaking out. My eyes were so big out, thankfully I was wearing goggles and no one could see,” Schigur said. Talmadge said she had a couple of girls that she knew would likely
advance and didn’t taper them all the way, in hopes of going even faster at state. Bormett was one of those girls. “I’m really excited for what she’s going to do next week at state,” Talmadge said. “I feel like Ava and Savy have more to give too, and the other girls are just going to ride on the high of being at state.”

University of Wisconsin-Madison recruit Jack Nelson was a named a first-team all-conference selection and the Badger South Offensive Lineman of the Year last month. The Stoughton junior was one of 11 players named to the all-conference team. “Jack got better from last year but still has some things to work on,” Prahl said. “I know he isn’t thrilled about his play at times and how tje team finished this year.” Next season will be his fourth year as a varsity starter playing left tackle for Stoughton. “Jack has some great personal goals set for the next season and I can’t wait to watch him work toward those goals,” Prahl said. Senior running back Dwight Walker was a unanimous first team selection in the backfield, amassing 959 yards and eight touchdowns on 189 carries. Monona Grove senior quarterback Jordan Bishop was chosen as the Offensive Player of the Year. Junior wide receiver Nathan Hutcherson was named to the second team, as was senior place kicker Cade

Marathon: Schneider completes first NYC marathon, unsure of what running future holds Continued from page 1 probably run some shorter races in the spring.” While he still plans to take nice walks with his wife and dog, he will need a break after pushing himself to his limit. “My legs are shot,” he said. “I will not run for at least a week.”
Making the cut Anyone can apply to run the New York Marathon, but runners must meet qualifying times, and those qualifying outside of specific New York races are not guaranteed spots. Schneider said it can take years to get in. “To get a guaranteed entry, you have to run a fairly fast marathon or half-marathon in the past year,” he said. “I got in based on running a 1:22 half marathon in Milwaukee.” Qualifying times get slower with age. “My NYC time this year would easily get me in next year,” he said. Schneider said he started
training for NYC about a year ago. He had hurt his left calf muscle while running the Syttende Mai 10-mile race in 2017 and didn’t run for almost six months while going through a bunch of physical therapy and painful Astym treatments – a therapy that heals soft tissues such as muscles and tendons and reduces scar tissue. It all made for a long road to NYC. He went from seven miles in a week last November to 63 miles a week in October, and said he lost more than 15 pounds in the last year.
Finding the time Schneider, who is a husband and father, said the biggest challenge is simply finding the time to train. “A fall marathon requires some of the hardest training when school starts and cross country is going on,” he said. He said on average he probably ran between 6 and 7 hours a week. Four weeks before the marathon he ran 22

She shaved more than nine seconds with a 5:40.2 in the 500 but missed the state cut 5:31.13. Schigur had more than a three-and-a-half second PR to finish 10th in the 100 butterfly but just missed the state-qualifying standard of 1:00.93. Savy Boroughs, junior Andrea Dean, Leire Begona and Schigur finished 11th in the 200 medley relay with a season-best time of 1:57.94. Thompson touched the wall of the 200 free with nearly a five-and-a-half second season-best 2:07.21 for 12th place. She finished 11th in the 100 fly with a two-second personal-best 1:02.48. Sophomore Sydney Schipper had a season-best 1:06.3 and finished 14th in the 100 backstroke.

Begona cut more than half a second and McGee had a .14 season-best. Senior Audrey Killian cut time to finish 20th in the 500 free. “We had a very productive taper,” Talmadge said. “I’m glad all the girls had faith in it.” Savy Boroughs, freshman Melanie Regan and Dean each added a little time in the 50 free, 100 back and 100 breaststroke. Stoughton scored 145 points to finish seventh out of the 14 teams competing. Top-ranked Edgewood won the sectional with 369 points, while second-ranked
McFarland finished with 311. Fifth-ranked Baraboo was third with 248.
State “I just want to go faster,” Bormett said of her expectations this Friday. “I don’t really have any goals because I’ve already made them.” The only way to go faster may involve the sophomore bringing some hardware home from the UW Natatorium. Bormett is seeded second in the 200 and 100 frees based on her sectional times. Tomahawk junior Kylee Theiler has the top seed entering state with a 1:53.62 in the 200 and McFarland senior Alexandra Moderski is the fastest 100 free competitor in 51.44. The Vikings’ 400 free relay enters state as the eighth seed with a time of 3:42.36 and will swim in lane eight of the second heat. Stoughton’s 200 free relay (1:42.45) is seeded 14th out of the 16 teams at state. Edgewood has the top seed time in both relays with a 1:38.7 in the 200 free and a 3:34.58 in the 400 free.

On Saturdays, he would run before getting on the bus for meets. He even did some running with the cross country team. “However, a lot of days I needed a different workout than guys getting ready for a 5K,” he said. His wife Amber gets sick of his running sometimes, he said, adding that she can live with it as long as he runs early and can still be a functioning dad for the rest of the day. He said she wants to make sure he has a fitness strategy for when he gets older and can’t run as much. HIs son is a little more direct. “He keeps telling me I should quit, and that I’m too old,” Schneider said. As his daughter Maddi has become a runner, Schneider said, “I think she probably ‘gets’ my running more than the rest of my family.”
who lives in Manhattan. He credited Russell’s father, Randy, who has coached the Verona boys cross country team for the past 54 years, as the inspiration for his love of running. “It felt like the circle of running was complete,” Schneider said. “I actually flew out Friday, hung out Saturday and ran/flew back Sunday night after the race.” Schneider said he was up almost 24 hours by the time he was back in bed Sunday evening in Stoughton. “Many of my students think I am crazy for running so much,” he said. “I think most of the cross country runners I coach appreciate how much running I was doing.” He said it’s important to show students and his kids that running “can be a lifetime activity.” He said when he was in high school, he “would never have dreamed” of running a Cycle of running marathon. “As long as I can, I want to While in New York, Schneider stayed with his former model being an active adult,” Verona Area High School he said. teammate, Russell Marks,

Hobson completed 48.9 percent of his passes for 1,239 yards and 13 touchdowns in 10 games.

Spilde finished second on the team with 71 total tackles, including seven for a loss. He also caused two fumbles, recovered one and had an interception. Spilde was also advantageous in the battle for field position, averaging 37.7 yards per punt on 25 times attempts, including 10 inside the 20.

Veterans: Matt Read will attend school at Mankato State next fall Continued from page 1 “I always thought that was super cool, but the further and further I get into my Air Force career, the significance seems to get bigger and bigger,” he said. “My dad always told me how great the people were in it, and that was probably the main reason I wanted to join.” Doug Read said for as long as he could remember, Matt wanted to be in the Air Force. “He’s really never changes what he wanted to do,” he told the Hub last week. “That’s just always been his thing.”
Home in Stoughton The family moved to Stoughton in 2001 after Doug retired from active duty, seeking a small town to raise a family between his “day job” flying for United Airlines out of Chicago, and his National Guard job with the 115th Fighter Wing in Madison. At the time, their oldest child was 5 and Matt was just about 3, and it was time to settle down. “In the Guard, you can stay in one place, so I was looking for Guard units to fly the F-16, and Madison Truax Field had those, and I knew some guys from active duty here,” he said. “We wanted the kids to be able to grow up and have a place to call home. We’re big fans of Stoughton; it’s a

During his senior year, he attended drill weekends monthly at Truax, something he said got him ready to excel when it came time for more than seven weeks of basic training. Basic was a “different
experience,” Matt said, though it was difficult in ways he didn’t expect. While it’s not “everyone getting chewed out, like in (the movie) ‘Stripes’ or something, things like being away from home making beds to military standards were the most difficult. “They never actually brought a quarter in and bounced them (on the sheets), but they might as

After Matt graduates from his six-month intelligence training program, he plans to attend college at Mankato State University in Minnesota next fall to study aviation, something he’s “really looking forward to.” “I don’t want to say college is going to be easy compared to this, but it will be more the life I used to have,” he said.

Honoring veterans Ceremonies set for weekend Veterans Day falls on Sunday, Nov. 11, this year, and activities and events to honor veterans are planned throughout the weekend. The ceremonies start on Friday, Nov. 9, when a group of Stoughton area veterans will visit Stoughton High School between 7:308 a.m. to greet students as they arrive. The group will move to Sandhill Elementary School for a school assembly later in the day, and will visit area nursing homes on Friday and Monday, said Bud Erickson of Stoughton American Legion Post 328. On Veterans Day, members of the Stoughton Area Veterans Memorial Park steering committee will be at the park at the corner of County Hwy. B and Cross Country Road to give tours and answer questions, weather permitting. At 10:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 12, veterans will lead the annual Veterans Day program at Fox Prairie Elementary School. Following the program, there will be a Veterans Day luncheon at 11:45 a.m. at the Stoughton Area Senior Center, with special entertainment by Fox Prairie Elementary students.

well,” he quipped.
He said his schedule in the Air Force is about what it was back in high school. “I get up at exactly the same time I would for Norwegian Dancers, and I get back about the time I would from sports practice,” he said. While he is enjoying the intelligence training he’s doing now, Matt said he’s still keeping flying “on the radar.” He and his father are members of the UW Flying Club, and with his dad as instructor, Matt is working on his private pilot license. “I would love to fly if it works out,” he said. “It feels like I’m defying nature … My favorite is flying up by Devils Lake. I like the totally different perspective.” And now that he has joined the ranks of veterans in this family – the fourth generation in a row – he said he looks at Veterans Day a bit differently. “It brings a lot more significance, not because it’s somewhat applies to me now, because I’ve only gone through a small part of it, but it’s just perspective on everything people have given in the past – how much other people have given and what it actually means to serve,” he said. “I value that, and have a lot of pride in that.”
