Construction work begins SHS speed reduction among projects AMBER LEVENHAGEN Unified Newspaper Group

Pair of Stoughton EMTs recognized for decades with EMS SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
Most of what Bill Brue did as a Stoughton EMT on calls in 1979 was “load and go,” without much in the way of medical options to help patients. Ten years later, it was still the same when Ed Bailey joined Stoughton Area EMS. By 2019, with each marking an anniversary spanning decades, both EMTs have more on their plate when in an ambulance. That also means they have more opportunities to help people, including administering IVs
or giving an overdose patient Narcan, which can reverse the effects of drugs like heroin. Each received a recognition Thursday, June 6, at the SAEMS monthly meeting, with a plaque to hang on a wall and pins to put on their uniform awarded in front of their peers. “It was quite an honor,” Brue told the Hub the following day. “It was very nice.” Neither is ready to stop. “I plan on staying around as long as my health is good,” Bailey said. SAEMS director Lisa Schimelpfenig told the Hub in an email that the pair have provided a “guiding hand” to others in the department
over the years, as no two calls are ever the same and require adapting on your feet. “Over the years, Bill and Ed have provided training, guidance, time, patience and shared experiences to so many of the EMTs who have traveled with SAEMS,” she wrote. “I believe guidance is the most impactful. For those entering this field, there is only so much you can learn out of a textbook.” Schimelpfenig added that their presence provides confidence for others on calls. “I think it is important that when
Construction season has been underway for the past few weeks, and as the sunshine paves the way for crews to really dig in, a few more projects are starting next week. This includes “traffic calming” features to help reduce speed around Stoughton High School and other reconstruction that has been “desperately needed,” public works director Brett Hebert said. Commuters might have noticed some light work throughout the past month around the city, with some sidewalk, curb and gutter maintenance done on individual properties, but more work is on the way. Full reconstructions at Lowell, South Monroe and Patterson streets are well u n d e r wa y. T h o s e p r o j ects started in May and are anticipated to continue through October. Drivers should expect some detours around these areas as crews work on underground utility improvements, which include gas, water main and sanitary sewer installations. Alliant Energy has also been working on updating and replacing its materials. “The idea is to get all of
the utility work done now, because when we open the street up once, we don’t want to do it again,” Hebert said. “We want to get everything done at one time.” Another major construction project in the city is the expected completion of the Kettle Park West senior housing complex, which started last year. Single-family homes are being planned in that area but are not expected to start until the fall. For more information about road construction projects, visit the City of Stoughton website, ci.stoughton.wi.us/construction.
Jackson and Lincoln Anyone who drives near the high school knows road improvements have been needed for some time, but they can rejoice knowing work starts next week and is planned to be done before school starts. In addition to the reconstruction, crews will install traffic islands near the entrance to the high school. Two are planned on Lincoln Avenue, and one will be set on Jackson Street. Traffic islands are a small raised area in the middle of a road which marks a division between two opposing streams of traffic, with the goal to slow traffic and also help pedestrians.

Rosenberg wrote the Hub in an email. “She has helped me so much with troubleshooting my myriad problems. Another fifth grade student designed and printed our first custom piece.” Rosenberg said she hopes students’ experience with the printer will help connect them with further learning opportunities in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM). She the next step this fall is to show them how to draw up their own designs through a computer-aided design (CAD) program and then physically create them with the printer.

Dimensional reality
While the clock has run out on this school year, students at Kegonsa Elementary have something fun to look forward to when the new year begins Tuesday, Sept. 3. The school acquired a 3D printer this spring and within a few weeks, students were picking out designs for Mother’s Day gifts to make on the new machine. The printer is housed in the school’s STEAM lab space adjoining the Library Media Center, which also includes a makerspace. Kegonsa Library Media Specialist Kristin Rosenberg said the Mother’s Day projects were both fun for the students, and a great way for her to “know how it works and to make sure I had it in good working order before really let the students at it.” “I have one fifth grade student who has been a huge support to me, because her dad has a 3D printing business,”

Letters to the editor
Parents should teach children road safety Remember the feelings of the last days of school and the freedom of summer days? It might be a good time to remind boys and girls to stop at the curb of intersections and look for oncoming cars. Recently, on two different days, I witnessed young people at Page and Forton Streets riding bikes down Page Street,
north to south, and they cruised without stopping at that corner. I’m hoping never to see what could happen in a case like that. Drivers, watch carefully. Our kids are too precious to lose them to an unnecessary tragedy. Konnie McDermott City of Stoughton

There’s plenty happening in our ‘palaces for the people’
I
t never fails. I’ll be at party or social gathering, and in the course of making small talk, the conversation will turn to work. When I mention that I’m a librarian, my interlocutor will say something like, “It must be great to be able to read all day.” Rather than correct the widespread misperception that librarians sit around all day reading, I’ll smile and nod p o l i t e l y. I f the conversation continues long enough, I’ll likely hear some variaRamsey tion of: “Do we really need libraries anymore? Isn’t everything online?” Some librarians have come to dread that question, to have to justify the existence of their profession. I prefer to see it as an opportunity to educate and change perceptions. The truth is libraries are more vital and necessary than ever. This is especially true of young people. Wi t h d i g i t a l d ev i c e s l i ke smartphones and tablets permeating our lives, some say the Millennial generation, those “digital natives” who have never known a world without the Internet, will have little use for a building full of books. A recent study by the Pew Research Center found this to be false. It said the millennial age group (18-35) was most likely to have visited a public library in the last year, surpassing even their parents and grandparents. Researchers found 53% of Millennials reported visiting a public library in the last year, compared to 45% of Gen-Xers, 43% of Boomers and 36% of the Silent Generation. The public library is a truly intergenerational institution, serving people throughout their lives. On any given day, you’re likely to see babies and toddlers
acquiring the building blocks of literacy; elementary school children visiting to learn about the library; students in online degree programs studying or taking exams; young parents planning playdates and seniors engaging in lifelong learning. You might also find people of all ages learning a new language, researching their family’s history or attending a book discussion group. These days, you’ll also see young people learning how to code, playing games or simply socializing. You might see entrepreneurs using our small conference rooms to plan their next business venture, middle school students working on an art project in the teen area or any number of local organizations using our lower level meeting room. For people of all ages and all walks of life, the library of the 21st century is a place to gather, connect and create. The key word here is place. The library’s physical space is a perfect example of what sociologists call a “third space,” a location outside of home and work where people gather to build informal networks of social trust and association. That creates what sociologists refer to as social capital. Decades before we were all glued to our smartphones and following social media, these sociologists had started to worry we were depleting our stores of social capital. In his bestselling 1990 study of American social a c t iv i t y, “ B ow l i n g A l o n e ,” sociologist Robert Putnam argued Americans were more isolated and less engaged with their neighbors and communities than ever before. Putnam laid part of the blame on technology, particularly television, but he also pointed to the decentralized nature of suburbs and the disappearance of main streets and town squares. Libraries – like parks, recreation centers, town squares, and main streets – are part of what another sociologist, Eric Klinenberg, calls social infrastructure.
In his book published last year, “Palaces for the People,” he defines social infrastructure as the “physical places and organizations that shape our interactions” and allow for the cultivation of civic life. When social infrastructure is healthy, Klinenberg maintains, it “fosters all kinds of social interactions, helps build relationships, and turns community from a vague, fuzzy concept into a lived experience.” In other words, social infrastructure might provide an antidote to our current predicament in which we are more connected than ever before yet increasingly isolated and cut off physically and ideologically from one another. Libraries are a shared space accessible to everyone regardless of their ability to pay, group identity, affiliation or personal beliefs. Today’s library is a place for learning and quiet reflection, but it is also a site of community engagement and active collaboration. In addition to being warehouses of knowledge, keepers of our shared cultural heritage and collective memory, libraries are also a hub for our community, a place where we meet with neighbor and stranger alike to participate in shared civic experience. And by the way, those “Palaces for the People” in Klinenberg’s title? That’s a quote from none other than Andrew Carnegie, the original benefactor of the Stoughton Public Library and over 1,400 other public libraries across the country. So the next time I’m at a party and someone asks me if libraries are still relevant, I could marshal an army of sociologists to bolster my argument. But it would be more effective and far more interesting to invite them to visit their local public library and witness firsthand the variety of activity taking place in these palaces for the people. James Ramsey is the director of the Stoughton Public Library.

The nineteenth century British philosopher John Stuart Mill argued persuasively for a variety of social reforms, and especially for state-supported public education, on the grounds that it “is help towards doing without help.”That is, education makes people more likely to be able to take care of themselves and live healthy, independent lives. It may be easier to just give people food or money to meet their immediate needs, but in the long run this may only foster a state of dependency,whereas if we take the time to teach the person how to fend for himself, he might fare better in the long run. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day but teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. There are lots of ways in which we can help others to help themselves, whether it is teaching them a skill or trade, or teaching them how to drive or to read. Reading opens doors to a whole world of help, because once you teach someone how to read, it gives them access to the entire fund of human knowledge. We should consider how we might help the people in our community, or even in our own families, to be more independent. – Christopher Simon

Construction: Spot replacements for sidewalks, gutters Continued from page 1 “The biggest thing is to shrink the lane to slow down traffic, and they also create a safe place for pedestrians to cross,” Hebert said. “It’ll still allow traffic to flow through there, but the biggest thing is to slow it down.” Jackson Street, from South Van Buren Street to Kings Lynn Road, will have spot curb and gutter replacement, as well as spot apron and sidewalk replacement. The missing sidewalk on the south side of the street will be filled. On Lincoln Street, between North Jackson Street and 1212 Lincoln Ave., this segment will also be pulverized with the same series of replacements as Jackson Street. Storm sewer work is part of this project.
Monroe area rebuild S eg m e n t s o f M o n r o e Street are under construction as crews work to replace the roads and underground utilities. Work is expected to continue until October. Lowell Street, from Page to Monroe, is undergoing a
full reconstruction, including curb and gutter replacement and driveway aprons. This also includes spot sidewalk replacement, and a sidewalk will be installed on the north side of the street. Some underground utility improvements will also be part of this project, and signs are along the surrounding streets to caution drivers of the work underway. South Monroe is going through a full reconstruction from Lowell to Patterson. Crews will also infill missing sidewalk segments between those streets. Full reconstruction is underway on Patterson Street between Monroe and Harrison. Sidewalks are also being installed on the south side of that street. Individual property owners shared some costs with the city, including half the cost for curb and gutter, half the cost for a sidewalk, and full cost for driveway aprons, private sidewalk and drainage improvements that service the private property.

Bunnell drafted by Braves Former Viking working out with MLB rookies in Naples, Florida MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
Cade Bunnell can’t wait to get started on his professional baseball career. The 2015 Stoughton High School graduate was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 40th round of the Major League Baseball draft Wednesday, June 5. Bunnell, who had played two years of baseball at Indiana, graduated this spring with a liberal studies degree. He was huddled around a TV with his Hoosier teammates at an apartment in Indiana watching the draft. Indiana had a record six players selected in the draft. “It was a dream come true,” Bunnell said in a phone call from the Braves’ spring training facility in Naples, Florida. “Once I heard my name called, it was unreal. I worked my whole life to play in the big leagues.” Bunnell has been going through a draftee mini-camp workouts since being drafted, and by the end of the week, he will be designated with most of the other players drafted to rookie ball. He expects that to be in either the Advanced Rookie-level team in the Appalachian League in Danville, Virginia, or in the Gulf Coast League in Naples, Florida. The son of Tina and Rick Bunnell, his competitiveness apparently runs in the family. Rick played golf at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. “He understood what it took to take my games to the next level,” Cade said of his father. “He sacrificed a lot of time and money to help me live out my dream.” Cade Bunnell was drafted as a second baseman, where he said he feels comfortable. But he’s open to

Pitcher Brock Wanninger matched his season total of college innings in one outing Sunday, June 9, with the Utica Home Talent team. The left-hander, who pitched nine innings last season at Loras College in Dubuque, equaled that Sunday with a complete game, 15 strikeout effort that led the A’s past the host Waterloo McKays 5-4. Utica improved to 3-4 in the Southeast Section with the win, while Waterloo dropped to 1-4. Despite the double-digit strike total, Wanninger and his defense made things interesting over the final two-and-a-half innings. “Everything started out pretty well but as it went on, I got a little tired,” Wanninger said. “The most I threw in an outing this year at Loras was two innings.

Center fielder Chris Lund and left fielder Yonardo Hernedez went a combined 7-for-8, scoring six runs and driving in three runs Sunday to lead Stoughton to a 14-0 win over Cambridge in seven innings. Shortstop Winder Fuentes was 2-for-3 with five RBIs, including a three-run home run that sparked a seven-run, sixth inning to blow the game open. Ben Riffle pitched a complete game, shut out with three strikes outs and one walk to the announced who had to suit up after an injury to a Cambridge player. Stoughton opened the

scoring with two runs in the third inning. Dave Hanson singled past shortstop to lead off the inning and came home on a Hernedez double. Ryan Nyhagen followed with an RBI single to score Hernedez, who slid around the tag of
Cambridge catcher Austin Haugen to give Stoughton a 2-0 lead.
Night League
Merchants but rarely saw much action, came over to Utica in hopes of seeing more innings this summer before going back to college. “I think it’s different for everyone. For me for sure, I didn’t throw as many innings as I would have liked at Loras,” Wanninger said. “Baseball is a year-round job. You can’t take any time off. You have to keep building yourself up and getting better.” Utica opened up a 3-0 lead through seven innings Sunday before Waterloo fought back to twice pull within a run. Waterloo’s Travis Noel singled through the right side with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. One out later, Louis Hensler drove him home on single lined into the left center-field field gap. Hensler moved into scoring position with a stolen base and came around to score with two outs on a dropped fly ball in left field. Utica pushed its lead back out to three with two runs in

Connor Kolawski reached base on an error with one out and Christian Stokstad singled to score him one out later. Wanninger helped his own cause, following Stokstad with an RBI single of his own for a 5-2 lead. And Utica would need every one of those runs, committing two errors and uncorking a pair of wild pitches. Ethan Quimby led off the eighth, reaching base on a throwing error that allowed him to take second. One out later, Ben Vehlow reached as first baseman Sam Raff was unable to handle a throw to the bag, which allowed a run to score. A walk and two wild pitches later and Vehlow
scored to cut the lead to 5-4. Wanninger refocused and closed out the game strong, registering strikeouts for all three outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. “Coming out today and throwing nine innings, it was a lot of pitches,” he said. “My stamina was down and I kind of lost my control but I just tried to keep myself composed and do the best I could.” Utica’s Ben Hildebrandt doubled, stole third base and scored on a passed ball to open the scoring in the first inning. Wanninger scored Jacob Schultz on a sacrifice fly to right in the fifth and Hildebrandt went with a pitch, doubling in left field to plate Wanninger in the seventh.
Fort tournament Utica traveled back to Fort Atkinson on Thursday for its consolation game and lost 3-1 to Johnson Creek. Noah Schafer got the start and did well until giving up a tworun home run.
Stoughton jumped out a 2-0 lead in the top off the first inning Thursday, June 6, but need to rally in order to beat Albion 6-5. Jake Wenzel and Caleb Broege knocked in runs in the first inning but the Merchants threw the ball around and allowed five runs in the bottom of the inning. Erick Sperloen went the distance despite a 39-pitch, first inning hiccup. He struck out six and allowed one earned win. Lund and Hernedez each had RBI doubles in the win.
Bunnell: He will be assigned to rookie ball Continued from page 8 might be a long shot. But he’s persevered through long odds before, having to start over after leaving his first Division I school. As a shortstop in high school, Bunnell led the Vikings to back-to-back conference titles and a WIAA state appearance in 2013. Bunnell earned first-team Badger South All-Conference as a junior and senior at Stoughton for coach Jeremy Dunnihoo. “He (Dunnihoo) taught me the love of the game and how to play free,” Bunnell said. Bunnell then played at Kansas State as a freshman.
level, he said, his footwork at second base and getting more accustomed to third base will be a key in his development. “A lot of coaches will tell you that you field with your feet and not your hands,” he said. He said coaches and instructors at the spring training facility in Naples, Florida, have told him he could see time as a second baseman and third baseman in rookie ball. His college teammate with the Hoosiers, Tanner Gordon was a sixth-round pick of the Braves, as was The next level his former Kansas State Bunnell, who had a .974 teammate Davis Schwab, fielding percentage at Indi- who is a pitcher who transana, said he is confident in ferred to Missouri State. his hands. But at the next “I didn’t think it was the right fit for me at the time,” he said. He transferred to Madison College, where he played one year. That is when he started getting some interest from scouts. At Indiana, Bunnell played second base and some at third base. When he played fall ball the past two years, he said it became more real that he could get drafted. He also played in the summer of 2016 with the Rockford Rivets in the Northwoods League.

Betty Larson
Betty Jane Larson, age 97, of Stoughton, passed away on Tuesday, June 4, 2019, at her home surrounded by her family. She was born on February 28, 1922, in Stoughton, the daughter of Edward Bjerke and Emma (Lemke) Bjerke. Betty married Richard Larson on June 10, 1947, at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. They were happily married until his death in 1993. She was most proud of being a wife,
mother and homemaker. Betty was proud of her Norwegian heritage and was known for her lefse, so thin you could see through it. She loved gardening, and always kept her yard colorful and full of life. She had a talent for baking, knitting and making many afghans. She was a devout Christian and was faithful to her church home at Dodgeville United Methodist. Over the years, Betty developed a group of wonderful friends and was grateful to have them in her life. Betty is survived by her three children Steve (Gale) Larson, Vicki (Hinck) Galen Quinn and Beth Anderson; grandchildren, Jeff (Rahula Janowski) Larson, Kris Larson, Karin (Adam) Jones, Ryan (Jill) Hinck, Michael (Erin) Hinck, Stacy (Mark) Kossoris and Justin (Kiersten) Anderson; great-grandchildren, Natasha Janowski, Kai Lee Cole, Kenzie
Jones, Jonah, Miles and Willa Hinck, Henry, Oliver and Crosby Hinck, and Daxton and Harper Kossoris; siblings, David Bjerke and Jeanne Kitson. She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; and siblings, Donald Bjerke, James “Jimmy” Bjerke, Norma Reindl and Marion Weston. A private service was held at Riverside Cemetery on Sunday, June 9, 2019, with the Rev. James Koza presiding. A Celebration of Life for family and friends followed the service. The kindness of Betty will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Online condolences may be made at www. gundersonfh.com. Gunderson Stoughton Funeral & Cremation Care 1358 Hwy 51 873-4590

GrowthChart: Company plans to expand with grand prize funding

This was GrowthChart’s second year in the contest, and Wooldridge said she and her partners learned from their finish last year in the second phase of the contest. The contest, which had about 200 initial entries, had its 25 finalists submit a full business plan for review by a panel of more than 100 judges, according to a news release. GrowthChart was one of the “Diligent Dozen,” or top 12, to emerge from the field, and presented in front of a panel of judges and conference attendees at the Wisconsin Entrepreneurs’ Conference on June 4.
Mostly, she credits the win to their identification of a need and a simple solution. “People are really wanting to see something happen in the education field that helps teachers, because we do have a lot of work and we don’t have a lot of help,” she said. “This is something that’s going to make a difference for sure in the community, families and the teachers.” With the grand prize comes funding that Wooldridge said will allow them to hire salespeople and a full-time CEO and chief technology officer. She hopes to get the service,

working on a puzzle, too. “They wanted me to log for them,” she said. “They felt accomplished, too. They felt like, ‘Oh, I’m doing something wonderful, and I’m proud.’” While she contends it could save money – less paper, ink and time spent writing or filing for staff – the most important part of the product is how it makes the job easier and keeps parents informed with what their child is experiencing all day, Wooldridge said. “It really does affect how the day was to how the evening’s going to go,” she said. “They do absolutely love to feel connected to what their child is learning.”

the technology category in the Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest. That means the company’s share of $160,000 in funds dispersed to a group of winners could bring additional staffing and growth to many more child care operations. “It was a very exciting moment,” Wooldridge said. “We were not expecting it; it came as a shock. We were competing against some other wonderful, innovative companies.” Wisconsin Technology Council president Tom Still told the Hub the $160,000 includes some “in-kind” donations like accounting services or free rent, as well as cash prizes for some. The exact total was still being determined, he said Tuesday.

which costs $2 per month per student, to more daycares, whether that’s in-home providers, large scale centers or something in between. “We’ve been doing it all on our own without hardly any help, so we’re very proud of ourselves getting it to this point,” she said. “Now we need a scale, we need employees, we need to get this product out more.” She expects the company to add up to 34 new features to what is now a “base product” to make it applicable at the different levels of childcare. She’s confident it can work for anyone because of her own experience using it in the classroom, when she said she was “having a blast with it,” as were the kids. She even recalled logging a student’s completion of a puzzle, and other students soon told her they were

Both Brue and Bailey have had to learn lots of new methods of medical intervention themselves, and having good teachers was key to adapting, they said. It allowed them to save lives and make new friendships while doing it. “Some people end up serving their community through military, this is my way of serving the community,” Brue said. That service is now an example for others at the department, Schimelpfenig wrote. “Recently, EMTs who have been here a handful of years are calculating what year they will retire if they get in 40 years,” she wrote. “It seems to have become a goal of sorts – ‘I am going
