A relay to overcome

The annual Relay for Life of Stoughton McFarland and Oregon took place at the Mandt Center Friday, July 19. There will be more than one million people diagnosed with cancer this year, said committee member Kristine Annen. “Our survivors and those no longer with us is the reason we need to keep coming together,” said Annen.

A violent sex offender will be moved into a home in the Town of Rutland “on or before” Aug. 15, the state Department of Health Services confirmed Monday. Neighbors of the home where the patient will be housed, 3482 Hwy. 138, notified the Town Board of the placement last month. The neighbors told the board at its June 4 meeting they were notified by local law enforcement officials when an officer knocked on their door and told them about the move. The move is through a supervised release program facilitated by DHS and Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center, which is one of two secure treatment centers operated by the Division of Care and Treatment Services in

Wisconsin. A 2016 state law prohibits local units of government from barring such placements, which are by default in the same counties where the offenders lived prior to being committed for treatment. In general, patients on supervised release face much stricter limitations than other released sex offenders, according to the Sand Ridge website. Chaperones are required whenever they leave the house for at least a year, satellites monitor their movements, a n d t h ey g e t f r e q u e n t in-home visits and polygraph tests. Shawn Tessmann, director of Dane County Human Services, helped answer questions from town trustees and community members who attended the July 9 meeting. Those concerns included how the town is notified, what information is shared regarding the crime committed and the person involved, and how the community is protected, as well as the patient. “It’s not a fun situation, and the community concern is absolutely

AMBER LEVENHAGEN Unified Newspaper Group

Whether it’s more public bathrooms or parking spaces, or a way to minimize the number of vacant businesses, the first step to helping Stoughton’s historic downtown is learning what the problem is. Or if there’s a problem at all. The Downtown Revitalization subcommittee,

formed in February as an offshoot of the Redevelopment Authority, has enlisted the help of Ayres Associates, an architectural and engineering services firm based in Madison, to create an economic development plan to help guide investment into the downtown.

The committee was formed by long-term resident Sharon Mason-Boersma and former alder and c u r r e n t R DA m e m b e r Denise Duranczyk earlier this year. Since its formation, which was prompted after Mason-Boersma talked to several downtown

The senior center now has three kayaks for the public to paddle down the Yahara River in for a small fee, regardless of age.

Senior Center gets new kayaks Unified Newspaper Group

Three new kayaks were added to the Stoughton Area Senior Center’s list of summer activities. The two lightweight, single skimmers and one tandem skimmer are available to the public, even if they are not seniors, during open business hours. The cost to rent is $5 per hour, per person. Staff asks kayakers to paddle up stream toward Forton Street bridge in

order to avoid the dam. Sights along this route includes wildlife, biking and walking paths, Division Street Park and eventually the Viking County Dog Park off Hwy N. Hollee Camacho, assistant director at the senior center, said they wanted to take advantage of their location. “We are right by the water,” Camacho said. “This is another opportunity to get people outside and moving around.” The senior center has offered

canoes for people to use, but they are heavy and can be difficult to move around, Camacho said. The new kayaks are light and give people a diversity of options. Although there is no concrete plan on kayaking programs, Camacho and staff hope that next spring there will be opportunities for bird watching tours, classes and quick demos on how to operate kayaks.

The RDA met in June to learn more about the developer team and what it envisions for the area, though the proposal shared so far does not include feedback from the committee or the community. The submitted plan, which includes high density housing and increased access to the riverfront through green space and public walkways, is a preliminary version of what Brink could submit for final consideration. The RDA had planned to meet in August to discuss the proposals, though Brink said during its June presentation it wanted to move forward immediately and start work in the fall. If the RDA decides to not pursue Brink, it would need to start its search over and pursue other developers.

The two fundamental moral forces at work in the world are love and strife. Love nurtures and comforts us while strife depletes and annoys us. Love unites us while strife divides us. Love is the spirit of reconciliation and patient, unselfish endurance that allows us to get along with our fellow man, while strife is the spirit of struggle and selfish egoism that creates divisions among us. And while it is true that God is love, and that love is associated with virtue and holiness while strife tends toward vice and sin, the truth is more complicated. After all, God uses strife to help us grow and develop.The patriarchs of the Bible all encountered strife in their lives.The Israelites were enslaved, driven from their homeland, and forced to live in the desert. Jacob literally wrestled with God, and was renamed Israel after this struggle, a name which means “he who strives with God.” Perhaps the ideal way to think about the twin forces of love and strife is that love is the force that allows us to prevail when we strive. Love is usually the best way to settle strife; we don’t overcome hatred by hating, but by love. We know we will be challenged in our lives, and how much better to meet the myriad challenges of life than to know that we are loved, and loved unconditionally. –Christopher Simon

You Should Know Emily Dean Emily Dean was the former Teen Services Intern at the Stoughton Public Library. She told the Hub that connecting with people through books is very close to her heart and she wanted to pursue library and informa- Dean tion studies to build stronger connections to her community. Dean, 24, is a University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate who spent 2016 building programs at the library for students in grades 6-12. City/town of residence: Madison Occupation/place of employment or business name: Stoughton Public Library substitute librarian How long have you lived in the area? I was born in Madison but grew up in Beaver Dam. I moved

Make a nomination back to Madison in 2016 and began working in Stoughton in 2018. So technically my whole life, but I’m just now starting to feel really rooted in my community. How do you feel you help make a difference in your community? During my time as the Teen Services Intern at the Stoughton Public Library I spent a lot of time working with grades sixth to twelfth and I really enjoyed coming up with library program ideas that they would enjoy. Even if it just meant they could come hang out for an hour, I felt like we were always sharing ideas and learning from each other. I also really enjoy when library patrons come to me with a tricky question and then we work together to figure out the answer. I think it’s the accumulation of the little things and the relationship building that makes the biggest difference in a community.

Hobbies/interests: When I’m not at the library, I spent a lot of time reading and writing at home with my two cats, Scrappy and Rex. We also like building our ridiculous collection of VHS tapes and watching those. I also spend a lot of time serving and bartending at the Benvenuto’s on the north side of Madison. What do you like best about your community and why? (This) area has really allowed me to grow as a person in the last couple of years and I feel like I’ve been given the tools to learn so many new things about library studies and how to serve your community. I love that I can live on State Street and enjoy the perks of living in a “city” but drive a short distance to Stoughton and work in a small community. I feel like I get the best of both worlds here. What personal satisfaction do you get from serving/engaging in your

community? Every day feels fulfilling after you leave a library job. There are always challenges and learning opportunities. I love making connections in the library and then seeing patrons somewhere else in the community and having the opportunity to engage in conversation with them. It makes the place you’re living feel like home and it makes work exciting each day. If money were no object, what kind of gift would you give your community? No surprises here, I would give a lot of it back to library services. There are so many programs and services that funds could be allocated to. One area I’m passionate about is getting ages 18 to 25 in the library and providing a space for that age group who maybe didn’t go to college or would just like to feel more welcome in their library space in general.

Our People You Should Know section wants to highlight those doing good in the community that may not get the recognition they deserve. Whether that’s volunteering for an organization, working with children at the library or just doing something helpful around town, we want to hear from you who we and others might be missing out on. If there’s a face or name you think we should highlight, send us their information and what they do at communityreporter@ wcinet.com. Please include any contact information you can. And if you see someone out and about doing some good and don’t know who they are, but want to find out, let us know that, too!

Stoughton grad initiates projects in Ghana Lukas Matthews secured $10K grant, gave presentations MACKENZIE KRUMME Unified Newspaper Group

Working with local leaders in a rural village in Ghana, Stoughton High School 2015 graduate Lukas Matthews is near completion on a summer long community project to create growth there. The project has three objectives in a rural, off the grid community near Sunyani, Ghana. First, a youth empowerment and mentorship campaign, then rebuilding a kindergarten school and finally providing of $1,000 worth of new school books. Matthews secured $10,000 worth of funding through the national grant, “Davis Project for Peace.” In nearby Mponwaakrom, he worked closely with local leaders to find out how the community thought the money could best be used. M a t t h ew s s p e n t o n e semester in Ghana while attending Macalester College in St. Paul Minnesota, and said he feels “socially connected” there. “I acclimated faster to the social networking there than I did in St. Paul,” he said. The initial youth empowerment and mentorship campaign finished at the beginning of this month, with several college-age volunteers from the US and Ghana conducting presentations on “areas of social tension in the community” for roughly 40 Ghanian students. “Youth are willing to go out of their community

Students from Mponwaakrom, Ghana play outside at the end of a school day. and take leaps – then bring (what they learn) back to their community,” Matthews said. The focus areas of the presentation were on health, such as teen pregnancy and dehydration and also farming, as it is the main revenue source for the community. There were even presentations on new technology and on farming options outside the community, after Matthews secured a projection machine. “Images were particularly powerful in the presentations,” he said. The second objective was redoing the kindergarten building. The age of the building is unknown and heavy rains have slowly eaten away at its foundation, which will eventually collapse the walls.

The new building is about 50 percent complete, with Matthews’ main contribution being painting, he said. The last phase of the project is to deliver $1,000 worth of school books to the junior high school, including math, social science, technology and fiction books. Matthews will return to the U.S. and start working at Epic in September. He hopes the presentations will continue after he leaves but he is happy he worked closely with the community to find out their needs. “Whats makes this project useful is it’s what the community actually wanted,” Matthews said.

Kaytie Summers If you've been to the Koffee Kup, you know Kaytie Summers. She is the longest tenured waitress at the restaurant, and can tell you how you like your eggs even before you walk in the door. Summers After six years of delivering hot coffee to customers, some stop in simply to have a conversation with Summers, who’s built a reputation as a good listener and an excellent waitress. Here is an edited Q&A with Sum-

mers: Age: 31 City/town of residence: Stoughton Occupation/place of employment or business name: I work at the Koffee Kup restaurant, as the longest standing waitress for Ken and Trish for six years, besides their daughter Sarah. How long have you lived in the area? I’ve lived here for 20 years, since I was 11. How do you feel you help make a difference in your community? I feel I help my community by giving them quick and friendly service, and

engaging in great conversation and positive attitude in my work environment. I’ve met so many different people in my lifetime as a waitress and it is amazing how many different people are in our community. I have learned not to judge others, as everyone is different. Everybody has a story and everyone has a past. Sometimes people just want an ear to listen. I am very good at multitasking in a fast paced environment as well as an excellent memory. I can have your drinks and order in when you walk through the door! Hobbies/interests: I am either at work or taking care of my kids, hav-

ing fun with them any chance I get. In the fall I’m starting cosmetology school, which having met so many great people hopefully will be able to boost my talents in my community even more! I try to be an influential person as it took me a long time to become the strong woman that I am. Social skills and communication skills are such great traits to have as an adult. What do you like best about your community and why? I feel that our community needs to respect each other and our differences and realize that we are all people and we are all different. That we are people. People

with emotions, people with feelings, people. If money were no object, what kind of gift would you give your community? If money were no issue, I would give our community two things. One is a larger community parking lot to support our downtown businesses. Then, a 24 hour daycare center for working parents that work before or after the hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., as no daycare center in our area provides this necessity. As a single mother, I depend on daycare, and know quite a few people that work after 6 p.m. who have no one to watch their children.

Vikings drop two games in Legion tourney ADAM FEINER Sports editor

Stoughton lost two games in the Senior Legion regional tournament last weekend in Beaver Dam. The Vikings blew a two-run lead in a 5-2 loss to Lamira/ Theresa on Friday, July 19. On the next day, Stoughton’s game against Allenton, which featured players from Slinger, was suspended in the first inning. The game was moved back to Sunday, July 21, and the Vikings lost a 3-2 nailbiter. Stoughton finished the season 7-12. “From Day 1 of the spring to Sunday, I thought we got 100 percent better attitude wise, buying into the whole system and being coachable,” Stoughton coach Ben Gerber said. “The record doesn’t show for itself, but I know we were playing our best baseball last week.”

Lamira/Theresa 5, Stoughton 2 The Vikings carried a tworun lead into the seventh inning, but couldn’t hold on. Lamira/Theresa took advantage of two walks and a hit batter by Stoughton pitcher Ryan Curry. Jake Zangl delivered a go-ahead three-run double to sink the Vikings. Curry pitched 6 2/3 innings and gave up five earned runs on eight hits. He struck out one and walked three. “I think our focus was a little off,” Gerber said. “We were in the game against a bunch of college kids.” Owen Chase hit a sacrifice fly in the first to score Kadin Milbauer to give the Vikings a 1-0 lead. Kadin Milbauer then ripped an RBI double to score Parker Milbauer in the second to extend the Vikings’ lead to 2-0.

Anderson taking swings Stoughton native, UW golfer ties for fourth place at State Amateur Championship MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor

Before he finished his sophomore season golfing for the University of Wisconsin, Stoughton native Sam Anderson was at a crossroads. He could either turn pro when his time with the Badgers is done, or focus on school and enter a career in communications. “After my sophomore year, I came to the realization that after I graduate from college there is still a chance of being a professional, said Anderson, a 2017 Stoughton High

School graduate who will be a junior on the Badgers men’s golf team in the fall. “I will then turn pro and we will see what happens.” Anderson reminded many of his golfing potential when he finished tied for fourth after shooting a 5-under-par 283 at Lawsonia Links in the 118th Wisconsin State Amateur Championship, which wrapped up Thursday, July 18 in Green Lake. Anderson birdied his final two holes to tie Brookfield’s Michael Harris for fourth. He improved on his sixth-place finish in the 2017 State Amateur.

“It gives me a lot of confidence heading into the rest of the summer and the college season in the fall,” he said. Anderson posted 12 pars and bogeyed Nos. 7, 8, 9 and 10 in the final round. “Leaving with those two birdies left a better taste in my mouth,” he said. “I played well all week. If I wouldn’t have finished with those two birdies, I would have been disappointed.”

Learning to golf Anderson’s backyard in his hometown bordered the Stoughton Country Club.

Utica’s playoff hopes slip away MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor

Utica entered a home doubleheader on Sunday, July 21 two games behind Evansville and Fort Atkinson in the Southeast Section Home Talent League playoff race. The A’s playoff hopes were dashed after an 11-6 loss to Evansville and a 9-7 defeat at the hands of Cambridge. “It hurts because we weren’t out of it yet,” Utica player-manager Christian Stokstad said. “Guys showed up to win.” In a Night League game o n T h u r s d a y, J u l y 1 8 , Stoughton shut out Utica 6-0.

Anderson had an unconve n t i o n a l p a t h t owa r d becoming a Badger.

Leak: Gas line struck, fixed within hour Continued from page 1 chief Greg Leck wrote in an email to the Hub Friday. The leak had been repaired and the area given the “all clear” by 11 a.m. Alliant Energy personnel were called to the scene around 9:40 a.m. and worked with Stoughton emergency crews to contain the leak, Alliant Energy spokesperson Annemarie Newman told the Hub. She said the gas line was repaired within an hour, and only one customer was without gas service during the incident, and crews worked to restore that. Newman urged people to call the state’s “811” Digger’s Hotline for digging of any sort to help prevent accidents. “Whether it’s digging in your yard or a professional contractor, it applies to anyone who’s going to be digging to put something in,” she said.

Anonymous donor upgrades Stoughton Library Provides $14K for upgraded microfilm reader, book ends MACKENZIE KRUMME Unified Newspaper Group

On the second floor of the Stoughton Public Library, patrons can page through newspaper clippings dating back to 1837 – finding obituaries, housing records and tracking Stoughton history. The library made a “big upgrade” on its microfilm machine and bought new bookends that stand up to the heaviest of books, library staff said, after an anonymous donation. The $14,485 donation provided the library with new bookends in the children’s section, a monitor, printer, data cable, PC and a Scanpro3000 microfilm machine. A majority of the donation, $12,785, went to the new microfilm machine. The new machine can zoom, merge clips and, because of a higher resolution, the images are sharper, said Eloise Christensen, an eight-year volunteer at the library. She uses the microfilm nearly every day to create historical files and help others research genealogy, home history, obituaries and kids’ sporting events. The previous machine, which was more than 15 years old, was bulky and loud, Christensen said. “The people on the second floor knew when I was using the (microfilm machine) it was so loud,” Christensen said. “It got the job done but (the new one) is much easier.” The library has a pair of two-inch binders full of newspaper requests from all over the world (including Norway) asking for historical information. There is a large file cabinet near the new machine that houses thousands of filed articles about the history of Stoughton.

Eloise Christensen and Klare Girgen look through newspaper clippings from the new microfilm reader at the library on Wednesday, July 17. “It is a highly used resource and we are thankful to the donor,” said tech services supervisor Klare Girgen. Children’s librarian Amanda Bosky felt the same way about the new book ends. She said the previous bookends were 10 years old and often broke. They couldn’t support heavy books, so they’d lean or fall over. “It just looked kinda tacky,” said Bosky. The new bookends are “fun” colors like blue, purple, green and lime green. They also have a magnet at the bottom so the book ends don’t slide across the shelf.

Downtown: Group looking to find ‘clear idea’ of area’s issues and strengths Continued from page 1 consultant is going to look at, and start to put together an economic development plan, some of it short term and some long term.” The next several weeks will be focused on gathering community input. The committee has identified a series of stakeholders who will be asked to participate in interviews and focus groups to get a range of feedback and ideas to help guide future conversations. During the last committee meeting earlier this month, the group and consultants discussed creating a survey to be shared among Stoughton residents and people living in surrounding communities. They also agreed to hold a public input meeting to gather information about what’s important to the downtown, characterize what people think of the area and why business owners set up shop there. “It’s more about gathering a sense of their perception of downtown, their

expectations of this downtown plan and what they envision as a successful downtown plan outcome,” Ayres landscape architect Jake Blue said during the July 2 meeting. “We do our best work when we get good feedback from our client base and our community base.”

Steps for outreach

committee is looking for people interested in participating in smaller focus groups. “What we’re trying to do is find a different group of people to be interviewed in the focus group so we get as broad of opinions as possible,” Duranczyk said. After spending a few months gathering community input, the Ayres team will create a plan with suggestions for policies and plans that could potentially be put in place early next year. Part of those plans, based on early conversations, could include a downtown business association and tools, like kiosks with maps and information about downtown. “An economic devel opment plan takes time,” Duranczyk said. “It’s not going to happen overnight.”

The public input meeting has yet to be scheduled, but there are ways for the community to get involved before that first opportunity. Duranczyk said committee members will reach out to eight key groups for individual interviews with representatives from each: retail businesses, service bu s i n e s s e s , r e s t a u r a n t s and entertainment, riverfront redevelopment master developer, local officials, the arts community, event coordinators and major Why Ayres? downtown employers such The committee decided to as the City of Stoughton pursue working with Ayres and the Stoughton Area after interviewing two difSchool District. ferent consulting firms. Beyond that group, the Ay r e ’ s e x p e r i e n c e

working almost exclusively with communities similar in size to Stoughton, as well as a particular focus on historic downtown areas, made the choice “a no brainer,” Duranczyk said. Tw o r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s spoke during the introductory meeting with the committee, Blue and Diane Williams, a market analyst who has almost 30 years of economic consulting experience. “Talking about their goals and hearing about what they’ve done in other communities, it really fit everything we were looking for,” Duranczyk said. Ayres has previously worked in places including Eau Claire, Beloit, Sturtevant and Altoona to “redevelop while preserving their authenticity and sense of place,” their proposal letter states. They shared what worked well in those communities, such as strategies for how to gather feedback and how plans were implemented at a city level.

Offender: Communities can’t prevent placement of state law Continued from page 1 understandable,” Tessmann said at the meeting. “You have to put your faith in the treatment that has been provided at Sand Ridge and faith in the judge making a good decision about the appropriate protocols for the person being released.” Sand Ridge houses an average of 330 adult men who have been committed to treatment after completing a sentence for their sex crimes within the Department of Corrections. It is required that the patients have a mental disorder that predisposes them to commit future acts of sexual violence, the DHS website states. Because the sex offender is a patient, his identity is protected by patient privacy laws and cannot be disclosed, a communications specialist with DHS said.

No local recourse State law governs most terms of the release, how such patients are placed and how communities are notified of the impending release. Town chair Peter Loughrin told the Town Board at its July board meeting municipal officials explored preventing the move but found they aren’t able to do much to avoid a sex offender being placed in their community.

“(We) tried to put forth an argument that made sense about the use of the home and if it fits in the land use of the town… we found a state statute was passed (a few) years ago stating categorically no municipalities can put any ordinance or zoning law or fight preventing this from happening,” Loughrin said. “It’s going to happen, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” Act 156, passed in 2016, prevents municipalities from restricting a sex offender from residing at any specific location, as long as the individual is participating in the supervised release program and is compliant with the court orders. Act 156 is an update to a law that goes back to at least 1993, Wis. Stats. 980.08. One of that statute’s provisions requires a committee made up of trained professionals notify neighbors of residences used to house patients on supervised release. Neighbors aren’t allowed to be notified before a judge approves the terms of the release, and the community is notified through either flyers, door-to-door contact, a press release or a community meeting. A patient is released to his or her original county of residence, as long as they aren’t near any of the victims of

the sex crimes with which they were convicted. DHS officials could not confirm whether the patient previously lived in Dane County. Loughrin acknowledged neighbors’ concerns for their safety but said the move is up to the courts. “(The program) releases violent sex offenders back into the community as long as the judge who hears the cases approves the plan and the house being put up for use meets its requirements,” Loughrin said. “They’ve done their time, so they’re allowed to live.”

‘Significant progress’ As of June 28, 60 individuals are participating in supervised release out of more than 25,000 convicted sex offenders living in the Wisconsin, the DHS website states. Patients who participate in the supervised release program have been previously deemed likely to reoffend but have been court ordered for release for making “significant progress” in treatment. After the inmate’s criminal sentence is finished, the state Department of Justice or a county district attorney files a petition for commitment at Sand Ridge. Once admitted, patients are assessed to determine the level of their mental

disorder, the results of which determine their treatment track. Once a year, these patients are able to petition their committing court, and if the court determines the patient has reached a point in his treatment where he is no longer likely to reoffend, the court orders either supervised or unsupervised release. In order to participate, patients must show the treatment can be sustained while on supervised release and it must be “substantially probable” the individual will not engage in an act of sexual violence while on supervised release. Patients are tracked by GPS by the Department of Corrections, and monitors from the Supervised Release Program visit the individual’s resident at scheduled and unscheduled times. These checks include both their wellbeing and whether they are complying with the more than 70 program rules. Among the program rules is that patients are prevented from leaving their house unsupervised for the first year, even for such reasons as grocery shopping or yard maintenance.

SENIOR CARE

MORTGAGE BANKING

Q. What Is The Value of Respite Care? A. Caring for an aging loved one can be a rewarding experience. In many cases, it provides the opportunity to give

back to someone who may have played an important part in your life, allowing for a genuine reconnection. Caring for a parent, in particular, can be especially valuable, as there is often a sense of things coming “full circle.” However, even in the most ideal situations, caregiving can ultimately become a demanding job – one that’s taxing on the mind, body, and spirit. And for those who work a full-time job and have a family to take care of, assisting a loved one can add a great deal of stress. It seems only natural that family caregivers would desire a break, but we often push ourselves past reasonable limits, with the mentality of “I can do it all” and that anything less would be seen as a sign Stephen Rudolph of weakness. In reality, asking for help is anything but selfish. Respite care allows seniors to still receive the appropriate level of care, even in the absence of a family caregiver. Having a care professional substitute can help reduce feelings of guilt that you or your senior might feel. Trusting your loved one with someone else is not an easy decision, but with the compassionate, professional caregivers at Comfort Keepers®, you can trust that he or she will be in capable hands.

Kathleen C. Aiken

Q. Should I get a 15 year or 30 year mortgage? A. Not only will a 15 year mortgage allow you to pay off your home faster, but shorter-term loans generally come with lower interest rates. On the other hand, a 30 year loan will produce the lowest payment, and allow you to afford more “house.” It’s also worth noting that we offer loans with other durations, such as 10, 20 or 25 years.
