As a reminder to stay
sober, Chase Newman in
his early 20s tattooed three
sets of initials on his left
forearm, one each for three
friends whod died of hero-
in overdoses.
It didnt work.
Despite years of recovery
programs and even being
a mentor at times for oth-
ers struggling with addic-
tion, Newman relapsed and
died from a heroin overdose
May 2, 2012, in his Stough-
ton apartment. He was 26.
Hi s parent s, Jeff and
Leslie Newman of Cottage
Grove, were on a dream
vacation in Italy when they
got the call in the middle of
the night about their sons
death. Before that, Chase
had been clean for five
months.
I still ask myself, Why
did he start again? Jeff
Newman said during an
interview at the couples
kitchen table. The only
thing I can see is that her-
oin addiction, it can be five
months, it can be a year,
three years later. Theres
some trigger that makes
him want to go do it again.
Newmans deat h was
another statistic in a trend
of rising opiate abuse that
has alarmed area health and
law enforcement officials
for years.
In 2006, there were 123
hospitalizations in Dane
County from heroin or pre-
scription opiate overdoses,
according to data from the
department of Public Health
for Madi son and Dane
Count y ( PHMDC) . By
2012, there were 300, a 144
percent increase. In 2003,
19 people died from over-
doses. That figure peaked
at 61 in 2011 before fall-
ing to 49 in 2012. Similar
trends exist statewide, with
overdoses tripling between
2002 and 2012, from 824 to
2,457.
And those stats might just
be the tip of the iceberg,
said Lisa Bullard Caw-
thorne, a health educator
Stoughton Area School District
Board OKs
slight staff cuts
Kegonsa position
restored based on
class sizes
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unied Newspaper Group
The recently passed $20
million referendum might
have saved the Stoughton
Area School District from
drastic cuts, but with enroll-
ment declining, board mem-
bers continued their plan to
keep whittling down staff
numbers.
Two weeks ago, dis-
trict superintendent Tim
Onsager recommended
a combination of adding
$253,250 to next years
budget for the equivalent of
4.05 positions and cutting
$399,000 from the equiva-
lent of 6.6 full-time posi-
tions. The board scaled the
cuts back slightly Monday
night, voting unanimously
to leave intact a first-grade
position at Kegonsa Elemen-
tary, due in part to concerns
about large class sizes there.
The changes leaves the
net staff salary decrease for
the 2014-15 school year at
$80,750, including leaving
vacant a full-time Kegonsa
kindergarten position and
0.6 FTE business education

No Kidding
Eugster Farm Market goat gives birth to quintuplets
KIMBERLY WETHAL
Hub Correspondent
If twos company and
threes a crowd, a litter of
five baby goats is probably
quite the handful.
Eugsters Farm Market
experienced this phenom-
enon earlier this month, as
one of their goats gave birth
to five kids. Carol Eugster,
owner of the farm, said that
the large litter was unex-
pected due to goats only
having one or two at a time.
It was a surprise, she
sai d. We t hought she
was going to have twins
for sure, but she kept get-
ting bigger and bigger. We
eventually thought it was
going to be triplets. They
were all born within 35
minutes, and they just kept
coming.
Eugster said that two
of t he goat s were born
healthy, but three of them
were in jeopardy and were
unable to stand as a result
of being weak from birth,
whi ch caused Eugst er ,
her husband Joe and their
daughter Kat to bottle feed
them every three hours until
they became stable.
The goats were originally
given Norwegian names to
represent Stoughtons heri-
tage, but they were changed
to the main characters of
the Disney movie Frozen
on the day that the Hub
visited the farm after real-
izing that two of the Nor-
wegian names matched up
with the characters.
The goats will be able
to be seen when the farm
opens on Memorial Day
weekend.

position at SHS, as well as
cuts to a full-time district
educational assistant, full-
time SHS special ed teacher,
full-time eighth-grade Eng-
lish teacher, half-time SHS
English teacher and half-time
SHS social studies teacher.
Onsager said there are 71
Kegonsa first- and second-
grade students divided among
three classes. At an average
of 23.33 students per class,
thats just below board policy
of 24, which he said grants a
bit of leeway.
(It) says when all three
classes get two above the 24,
we would add, but its right
on the borderline of 24, he
said.
With the board voting to
keep the position, Onsager
said hed like to sit down with
Kegonsa first- and second-
grade staff to brainstorm
how to best use the full-time
teacher.
Theyre in the trenches
they would have the best
idea on how to utilize this
(teacher), he said. It could
be we put (the teacher) at first
grade, realizing second grade
will still be a little high, or we
could do a split multi-age
or what-not which would
reduce all the grade levels.
And we could be where
the staff member is teaching
first- and second-grade read-
ing and first- and second-
grade math, so were splitting
that up into four sections for
those core subjects areas.
Board president Liz Men-
zer said Kegonsa Elementary
has some fragile learners,
and class sizes need to be tak-
en into consideration.
Its the transient popula-
tion that makes this a par-
ticularly compelling situation
when kids are coming in
and out of classrooms, it just
requires additional supports
and tactics, she said. The
educators at Kegonsa are just
doing a terrific job, (but) hav-
ing smaller class sizes, to me,
will enable us to serve those
kids. Its an investment in
those kids.
Board member Donna Tar-
pinian said she has a prob-
lem with the districts policy
where classes must be two
students each above the level
to force a staffing change.
Onsager suggested looking at
it, noting recent changes that
have been made involving
allowable high school class
sizes.
It would be a policy,
among other ones, worth
reviewing, he said.
Fees raised
Following up on an issue
discussed two weeks ago,
board members unanimously
passed several modest fee
increases.
Among those was raising
student lunch by 10 cents,
breakfast by 5 cents and adult
lunch by 50 cents. The board
also approved establishing a
pool timing system fee ($50
flat fee for residents; $100
for non-residents), increased
prices to hold birthday par-
ties at the pool by $40 for
residents and $50 for non-
residents and increased swim-
ming lesson fees 25 cents.
All changes are effective
July 1.

Police investigate threatening
letter sent to Stoughton family
Stoughton Police have
enlisted the help of state
and national agencies to
determine the source of a
racially charged letter sent
to a family in Stoughton
last week.
According a report from
WISC TV-3, the family
received a letter April 16
with a picture of a lynch-
ing.
The letter was addressed
to their oldest son, whose
photo was depicted in the
lynching.
Stoughton police said in
a news release that details
of the investigation would
not be released, as it is an
ongoing case. Lt. Pat Con-
lin told the Hub that no
updates in the case were
available as of Monday
night.
Detectives have taken
the letter and contents to
the Wisconsin State Crime
Laboratory for process-
ing, police said. Detec-
tives are continuing their
investigation and have
been in contact with the
Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation and the U.S. Postal
Service.
Mayor Donna Olson and
police chief Greg Leck
said this type of behavior
will not be tolerated and
the person(s) responsible
will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
Conlin said one possible
charge could be a felony
threatening to injure
someone.
Anyone with informa-
tion related to this inci-
dent is encouraged to con-
tact the Stoughton Police
Department at 873-3374.

Town of Rutland
Radio tower debate
returns to spotlight
SETH JOVAAG
Hub correspondent
The years-long battle to
build a radio tower in the
Town of Rutland is about to
go public again.
Opponents of the proposed
486-foot tower which
could someday service an
FM radio station in Stough-
ton are expected to air
concerns Tuesday at a public
hearing of the Dane County
Zoning and Land Regulation
Committee. And on May 5
and 6, Rutlands plan com-
mission and town board,
respectively, are expected to
review the proposal, too.
Tomah-based Magnum
Communications has tried
for years to build the tower in
a farm field between Oregon
and Stoughton. But its plans
were denied in 2011 by the
town board, which agreed
with opponents who said the
towers size and lights would
mar the rural landscape and
harm nearby property val-
ues. The Dane County Board
later backed the towns deci-
sion.
Magnum appealed, but a
Dane County judge upheld
the towns decision last Sep-
tember.
However, the company
reapplied with Rutland in
February, citing a new pro-
vision tucked into last years
state budget that said Wis-
consin municipalities cant
deny broadcast towers unless
they can prove the structures
would harm public health or
safety.
Rutland chair Dale Beske
on Monday declined to spec-
ulate whether the new state
law means Magnum will get
its way. He said the towns
attorney is still reviewing
the statutes, and he hadnt
determined if the plan com-
mission or town board would
act on Magnums new appli-
cation at their upcoming
meetings.
The countys ZLR com-
mittee wont vote on Mag-
nums proposal until after the
town does so, said commit-
tee member Patrick Miles,
the Dist. 34 county board
supervisor. But he expects
opponents will speak out at
the April 29 public hearing.
Asked if the change in
state law trumps the countys
ability to deny rezones or
conditional use permits for
towers like the one proposed
by Magnum, Miles also
deferred comment.
I am guessing that will
be part of our discussion
at next weeks meeting, he
said.
Among opponents of
Magnums plans are mem-
bers of Preserve Our Rural
Landscape, a Stoughton-
based non-profit group led
by president Jim Danky. In
an email to group members
earlier this month, he encour-
aged them to attend all three
meetings.
The saga over the tower
prompted a story last month
by the Wisconsin Center for
Investigative Journalism,
which found that state Rep.
John Klenke, R-Green Bay,
was listed in drafting records
for the new state provision
governing communica-
tion towers. Klenke did not
respond to requests for com-
ment from the Center or the
Hub.
The tower would service
FM channel 95.9 WBKY,
currently in Portage. Propo-
nents of the tower includ-
ing many municipal and
school officials in Stoughton
and Oregon have said a
radio station could improve
communication during emer-
gencies and air local broad-
casts of local sporting events.
The site near Old Stage
Road was chosen because it
fits inside a small segment of
land that wouldnt interfere
with other area FM radio fre-
quencies, company president
Dave Magnum has said.

Kettle Park West
Economic analysis due in June
Council selects
Minnesota firm for
$16K, 3-month study
BILL LIVICK
Unied Newspaper Group
A report on how the pro-
posed Kettle Park West
development could affect
the city and local business-
es is expected to be ready
to present by the end of
June.
The Common Coun-
ci l on Apr i l 8 unani -
mously selected Maxfield
Research Inc. to conduct
what it calls an Economic
and Fiscal Analysis on the
project. The Minneapolis-
based real estate research
company conducts market
research feasibility stud-
ies.
Maxf i el d was one of
t hr e e c ompa ni e s t ha t
responded t o t he ci t ys
request for proposals to do
the analysis. Each respond-
ed after the city relaxed an
initially tight timeline that
requested a report within
about a month.
Maxfield offered to do
the work for not more than
$16, 525, about $1, 000
less than Vierbicher and
Associates of Madison. A
third company, the Mich-
i gan-based Gi bbs Pl an-
ning Group, submitted a
proposal of not more than
$26, 000 t o conduct t he
study and submit a report.
Kettle Park West is a
proposed 35-acre devel-
opment on the citys west
side, at the intersection of
U.S. Hwy. 51 and State
Hwy. 138. The commer-
ci al devel opment phase
includes a 153,000-square-
foot Wal-Mart Supercenter
and three other commer-
cial/retail businesses.
Included in the develop-
ment agreement signed by
the city and Kettle Park
West LLC and Forward
Devel opment Gr oup i s
$5.1 million in taxpayer
financing. That has been a
source of controversy, as
has the announcement that
Wal -Mart woul d be t he
anchor retailer. The Hubs
opi ni on page has been
flooded with letters both
for and against, an oppo-
sition group has formed
to stop or stall the devel-
opment, and decisions on
KPW were at least partial-
ly responsible for inspiring
four write-in candidates in
the last election, though all
were unsuccessful.
The economic analysis is
a requirement of the citys
so-called big box zoning
ordinance. The ordinance
requires that the analy-
sis estimate the types of
jobs created through the
development and the num-
ber of full- and part-time
jobs created. It also calls
for estimating the amount
of local labor to be used
in the construction of the
proj ect and i n empl oy-
ment.
In February, the council
voted to put all permit-
ting approvals for KPW on
hold until the analysis has
been completed.
Council debate
One aspect of estimating
the impact of the develop-
ment that remains contro-
versial is the identity of the
proposed tenants. While
Wal-Mart allowed itself to
be identified in January,
just two weeks before the
city signed a developers
agreement, other potential
tenants remain a mystery.
During the April 8 dis-
cussion over which firm
to hire, city attorney Matt
Dregne told the commit-
tee that both Vierbichers
and Maxfields cover let-
ters indicated they would
study the entire build out
of the commercial phase of
development at KPW, as
opposed to only the effect
that the Wal-Mart Super-
center might have.
That begs the question,
in order to do the study,
dont they need to know
the identity of the other
retailers? asked Ald. Tim
Swadley (D-1).
Swadl ey i s among a
handful of alders includ-
ing David Kneebone (D-1)
and Michael Engelberger
(D-2) who have repeat-
edly pressed city staff and
t he devel oper t o reveal
the names of the devel-
opments proposed ten-
ant s. Ot hers, i ncl udi ng
Al d. Tom Sel sor (D-4)
and Mayor Donna Olson,
think the important ques-
tion should be what type
of businesses, not specifi-
cally who.
Dr egne sai d i n Max-
fields proposal, the con-
sul t ant asked f or t he
abi l i t y t o request what
information they need to
gather the data.
As the Hub reported last
week, Scheel told the com-
mittee of the whole that
in addition to Wal-Mart,
the city expects a finan-
cial institution and a con-
venience store to open in
the development. A fourth
retailer is unknown, but
Scheel said, some of the
buildings are going to be
multi-tenant buildings.
He sai d t he names of
t hose t enant s have not
been divulged.
Three-month process
In their proposals, Max-
field and Vierbicher both
indicated they could con-
duct the work and submit
the analysis within about
three months, while Gibbs
di d not i ncl ude a t i me-
frame for completing the
study.
Scheel sai d Maxfi el d
estimated it would take
between 60 and 75 days to
complete the draft report.
The consultant will then
present its findings to the
council, which means it
coul d t ake about t hree
months to complete the
process.
In i t s proposal t o t he
ci t y, Maxfi el d sai d t he
anal ysi s wi l l focus on
identifying employment,
infrastructure, economic
and tax impacts resulting
from the development and
operation of the proposed
project.
It added that the analy-
sis will identify positive
and negative impacts of
the development and will
pr ovi de r e c omme nda-
tions to mitigate negative
impacts that may result
f r om t he devel opment .
Quantitative analysis will
identify the net economic
i mpact from bot h posi -
tive and negative impacts
to the community and the
resulting potential reve-
nues to the City from taxes
to be paid.
The city initially did not
get any responses when it
sought proposals for the
study.
City planning director
Rodney Scheel di st ri b-
uted the initial RFPs to 13
potential consultants On
Feb. 12, but received no
responses even though we
anticipated a few respons-
es based on conversations
prior to the due date, he
told the Hub.
Scheel said five of the
13 companies indicated
the KPW fiscal analysis
was not a good fit with
the services they provide.
Other companies felt the
ci t ys t i mel i ne was t oo
tight. Scheel had requested
that companies return pro-
posals no later than March
4 and submit a final report
by April 8.
At the councils April 8
meeting, Scheel reported
that the city had removed
its original time require-
ment for submissions and
received three proposals
for the project.
As part of the approv-
al, the council accepted
fi nance di rect or Lauri e
Sullivans recommenda-
tion that the city require a
$50,000 deposit from the
developer.
Economic and Fiscal Impact
Analysis requirements
1. Estimate the types of jobs created, including
the number of full- and part-time jobs created.
2. Estimate the amount of local labor to be used in
the construction of the project and in employment.
3. Include an analysis indicating the market
proposed for the project and the area from which
patrons will be attracted.
4. Compare and evaluate the projected costs
and benefits to the community resulting from the
project including:
a. Projected costs arising from increased demand
for and required improvements to public services
and infrastructure.
b. Value of improvements to public services and
infrastructure to be provided by the project.
c. Projected tax revenues to the city to be
generated by the project in the first five years.

Seniors and low-income families
need Super Wal-Mart development
When working as a Wal-Mart
cashier, I see what seems like an
endless stream of seniors on fixed
income and low income individuals
and families using EBT cards (elec-
tronic version of food stamps).
They often express how difficult
it is for them to stretch their dollars
in this still very challenging econo-
my.
I refuse to believe that anyone in
the Stoughton area would refuse to
help these people if they were able
to.
A full-sized grocery store in
a larger Wal-Mart would help
all shoppers in the area (not just
Stoughton) stretch their food bud-
get further. It would also provide an
affordable option for all the every-
day needs everyone has; things like
laundry detergent, paper towels
and toilet tissue, light bulbs, under-
wear and socks at an affordable
price. Those in the lower and fixed
income groups would benefit the
most.
As it stands, there is no other tru-
ly affordable full service option in
Stoughton or the surrounding area.
Madison shopping is not an option
for most seniors as they are just too
frightened of what they feel is very
intense traffic.
As I have personally experienced
we are already serving the needs
of the surrounding area and not
just Stoughton; places like Oregon,
McFarland and Evansville. By
increasing our ability to help all
shoppers in the area, the positive
economic impact would be greater
than most people realize.
To deny the shoppers of Stough-
ton and the surrounding communi-
ties this opportunity, we would be
hurting the needs of those who need
our help the most.

When is an ordinance not an
ordinance? When is a policy not
a policy? Answer: when city offi-
cials say so. Just what kind of
la-la land is city hall creating to
protect their investment in Kettle
Park West?
If you read the Courier Hubs
April 17 comprehensive article
on Stoughtons TIF policy, you
know that Mayor Olson and
finance director Sullivan are
now claiming that Resolution
No. R-18-05, City of Stoughton
Resolution Establishing Policies
for the Use of Tax Incremental
Financing (TIF) only created
guidelines and really didnt
have to be followed. Really? It
doesnt read very advisory.
Lets do a fact check on city hall
claims.
First, it has been known for
over 15 months that some sort of
public assistance like TIF could
be needed for Kettle Park West.
R-18-05 makes very clear that
the city council is the ultimate
TIF decider and has the right to
oversee all aspects of the project
on behalf of Stoughton residents.
Not one discussion on the 2005
policy was held by the city coun-
cil over the past 15 months. Isnt
that curious? I believe, like many
others, that this was deliberate
to keep residents and the council
from knowing about Wal-Marts
future occupancy plans too early.
Moreover, even if you bought
city halls line that the policy is
really not a policy and was only
meant to provide casual guide-
lines that city staff could imple-
ment, R-18-05 contains clear lan-
guage allowing the city council to
waive guidelines, but not a single
vote to waive guidelines came
before the finance committee
or city council over the past 15
months! City staff decided what
they would waive or amend with-
out input by alders. There can be
no doubt who was in charge of
this project.
So, here we are at the 11th
hour and we now know that
Stoughton adopted a sound TIF
policy in 2005 that should have
been used from the start to pro-
tect taxpayers from undue expo-
sure, but it wasnt. And we also
know, thanks to an open records
request, that the developer knew
more about this policy than our
own city council as they were
prepared to follow the policy last
summer.
Just who is guarding the pub-
lic interest in the project? Will
the council ever get the cour-
age to stand up before city hall?
It will all come down to a set of
TIF hearings later this spring
and I am convinced that taxpay-
ers will find many reasons to be
concerned about TIF payback
that should have been discovered
sooner if council had been doing
its job!
Roger Springman
City of Stoughton
City hall makes mockery of TIF ordinance and policy
City is masking real costs of Kettle Park West TIF
Using public money to subsi-
dize a private investment ought
to require high financial transpar-
ency.
Sadly, city hall has not done
its homework on the financial
aspects of Kettle West. From the
start, they have played fast and
loose with the facts and costs to
taxpayers. Here is what you need
to know:
real financing costs for Ket-
tle West will exceed $7 million
when you add the interest costs
of the two TIF bonds (which they
always forget to mention) plus
the obligated costs of site grading
work.
TIF bond interest rate charg-
es could well exceed 3.4 percent
because the city deliberately mis-
led the public on the negative
financial condition of TIFs 4 and
5 in the downtown area. They are
currently behind assessed value
by $3.5 million. City hall knew
this but they used 2012 figures
instead.
It is unclear who will be
paying for utility infrastructure
costs for sewer mains, electric
service, water lines, and natu-
ral gas lines to the Kettle West
boundary. These costs could
exceed $800,000.
Add t o t he above t he fact
that the Wisconsin Department
of Transportation had already
planned to upgrade Hwy. 51 with
public highway funds in a few
years, but now, because of Kettle
West, Stoughton taxpayers will
be left subsidizing this construc-
tion for a private retail develop-
ment.
Then there is Kettle West itself.
The prospects of Kettle West ever
paying off are slim. Why? Many
box store chains are in trouble
and around 50 percent of all retail
stores fail within five years. There
is zero chance that all stores that
start with Kettle West will finish
with it in 17 years! Zero. And,
every time a store goes out of
business, assessed evaluations
and taxes will likely go down.
It is time for an open, honest
and complete account of all Ket-
tle West public expenses. We
deserve better.
Roger Thompson
City of Stoughton
Editors note: City finance
director Laurie Sullivan
explained that her presentation
used audited figures for 2012,
rather than the still-unaudited
numbers of 2013. Those unau-
dited numbers do show a drop
of $800,000 in TIF 4 and $2.7
million in the new TIF 5 district,
both of which are redevelopment
districts.
Redevelopment districts typi-
cally do not grow quickly and
can even lose value in a down
economy. Those types of districts
are often are supported by indus-
trial TIF districts, such as TIF
3 and the proposed new district,
which Sullivan explained would
have its costs assured by guar-
anteed value in the developers
agreement.

Pitching in for the Yahara
Annual river
cleanup is Saturday
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unied Newspaper Group
Th a n k s t o a n n u a l
cl eanup ef f or t s goi ng
back t wo decades, t he
Yahara River and sur-
rounding walking trails
are one of the areas sce-
nic jewels.
People can help keep
it that way this Saturday
during this years River
and Trai l s Task Force
cleanup, set to begin at
9 a.m. at the pedestrian
bridge at Division Park.
Ri ver and Trai l s Task
Force chairman Jon Lew-
is said in recent years,
as volunteers have had
to pull less debris from
the river, they have more
time to expand efforts to
neighboring parks and
trails.
The first time we did
this, it was tractor tires
and everything, he said.
Weve found shopping
carts, big tires, and lots
of Styrofoam bait con-
t ai ner s, whi ch r eal l y
angers me, because fish-
ermen are supposed to be
environmentally aware.
Lewi s cr edi t ed ci t y
efforts to reduce harm-
ful run-off into the river
as helping keep it clean
from chemicals, as well.
For a l ong t i me ,
t heyve t ri ed t o make
sure peopl e dont put
l eaves and f er t i l i zer s
i n t he s t or m s ewer s ,
because that drains into
t he ri ver, he sai d. I
think thats gotten bet-
ter.
Tom Lynch, the direc-
t or of t he St ought on
Parks Department, said
parks crews regul arl y
clean the river area and
trails during the warmer
months, but the annual
cleanup is a good way
t o get a head st art on
the debris that has accu-
mulated during the long
winter.
Depending how many
people we get, we may
send peopl e t o gr een
ways and cert ai n park
areas that need help, he
said.
Lync h s a i d pe opl e
should dress appropri-
ately for the weather and
wear gloves. Bags will
be provided, as well as
maps t o cl eanup l oca-
tions. He said while the
cleanup doesnt have an
official end time, most
groups are usually done
around 11 a.m.
By noon, were get-
ting everything, pretty
much, Lynch said.

Give Your Life Completely to
God
It is a commonplace in conversion narratives
for people to say that they wanted to hold back
something in their life from God, some small
area of their life that they refused to give up
to God. Many have said that they refused to
completely give their lives to God for fear that
they would be missing out on some worldly
pleasure. People contemplating religious vows
know that they will be giving up having a fam-
ily, acquiring wealth, and perhaps also their
independence. But this holding on to our old
lifestyle, including all the trappings of both
material and social wealth only prolongs the
bondage. Ironically, we are only truly free when
we completely give our lives over to God, hold-
ing nothing back. Give your life completely to
God and you will find complete joy. If you are
holding back something from God, some area
of your life that you refuse to let go of, then you
are still in shackles and really are missing out on
the complete experience of living for God.
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
So give yourselves completely to God. Stand
against the devil, and the devil will run from you.
Come near to God, and God will come near to
you. You sinners, clean sin out of your lives.
You who are trying to follow God and the world
at the same time, make your thinking pure.
James 4:7-8

Stoughton Opera House
Americana, country music in upcoming lineup
BILL LIVICK
Unied Newspaper Group
Two bands whose reper-
toires overlap in traditional
old-time music will make
their first appearances at the
Stoughton Opera House in
the next week.
The Sweetback Sisters
perform classic country and
honky tonk music with a
bit of old-timey tunes on
the side. The six-piece band
features the vocals of Emily
Mills and Zara Bode, who
formed the band in 2006.
Theyll appear at the Opera
House Friday night.
Next Thursday, May 1,
The Steel Wheels will return
to Wisconsin after perform-
ing last year at the Sugar
Maple Traditional Music
Fest i val near Madi son.
The quartets sound is pure
Americana, with elements of
folk, bluegrass, country and
traditional old-time music.
Sweetback Sisters
Emily Mills and Zara
Bode were living in New
York City in June 2006 when
a friend asked them if theyd
like to open an upcoming
show hed booked at a local
bar. The pair had been sing-
ing together just for fun,
Mills said in a telephone
interview, and quickly put
together a band for the event.
Mills said the group was
so well received they decided
to make it more than a one-
night stand.
Right now were touring
about once a month, and it
can range from a weekend to
two weeks, she explained.
Its pretty varied. This tour
is starting in Minneapolis
and working our way back
East, ending at Oberlin Col-
lege in Ohio.
The band s mat er i al
sounds like classic country
and is obviously influenced
by the likes of Merle Hag-
gard, Buck Owens, George
Jones and Pete Wells.
But its all stuff that
weve written, and then some
of it is country classics that
people have heard as well
a little bit of Hank Williams
here and there, Mills said.
The music is built around
the family-style harmonies of
Mills and Bode, and theres
an element of Wanda Jack-
son in the groups energy and
sassy approach.
The bands press promo
says the Sweetbacks are
concerned with the tradi-
tional subjects of heartbreak,
revenge, remorse and staying
strong in the face of relation-
ships gone wrong, albeit with
a contemporary sensibility.
Were a renegade retro
band that mixes up coun-
try, swing and honky tonk,
Bode says. Sometimes what
we deliver is straight out
of the 50s; other times its
BR549 meets The B52s.
They released their debut
CD, Chicken Aint Chick-
en, in 2009. The band fol-
lowed with Looking for
a Fight last year, which
balances yesterdays hits
with contributions from the
bands four songwriters:
Bode, Miller, guitarist Ross
Bellenoit and fiddler Jesse
Milnes.
Mi l l er sai d si nce t he
Sweetbacks started, shes
noticed there are more and
more bands doing this classic
country thing, which I love.
Im just really excited
about being able to hear
good, danceable country
music all over the country,
she said.
Mills also loves the fact
that country music has a very
broad scope.
I kind of consider country
music to include the tradi-
tional music that we play as
well as honky tonk stuff up
through modern country,
Mills said. But I feel like
modern country has gotten
a disproportionate amount
of the exposure over the last
10-15 years, so its nice to do
some of the honky tonk stuff
out there.
The Steel Wheels
Trent Wagler, frontman
and founder of The Steel
Wheels, hails from the
Shenandoah Valley and the
Blue Ridge Mountains in
Virginia, a place rich with
history, natural beauty and
traditional music.
He said the band members
have made music together
for almost a decade, although
it was only in 2009 that they
quit their day jobs and real-
ly decided to go full-time as
a touring band.
He thinks the years of
playing together have paid
off in the bands tight sound.
Its one of those things
where I do feel theres a lot
to be said for putting in the
time to just play, and you
find your sound by putting
in nights of playing music,
Wagler said in a telephone
interview from his home in
Harrisonburg, Va.
Its been a fun explora-
tion for us in that way, and it
definitely feels at this point
that we have a good sense for
what we do well.
His point is underscored
by the bands success.
The Steel Wheels break-
out album, Red Wing,
came out in 2010 and gar-
nered critical praise. It spent
13 weeks on the Americana
Music Associations Top 40
Chart, where it reached the
No. 15 slot. It also cracked
the Euro Americana Chart
Top 10.
The band was nominated
for five Independent Music
Awards in 2010, with the
single Nothing You Cant
Lose taking top honors as
Best Country Song.
Following 2011s release,
Live at Goose Creek, The
Steel Wheels continued to
take the Americana scene
by storm with their album,
Lay Down, Lay Low in
2012. It spent 10 weeks on
the AMAs Top 40 Chart
and was the 2012 Americana
Album of the Year from the
Independent Music Awards.
Wagler said while such
recognition isnt why the
band makes music, its been
nice to be noticed at the
national level.
It is a real honor when
people who are listening to
music all the time feel you
deserve something like that,
he said. Everybody wants to
be recognized in their field,
and by the nature of what we
do, its a pretty public recog-
nition.
The four-pi ece st ri ng
band marries old-time musi-
cal traditions with their own
innovative sound. The band
is renowned for their chem-
istry on stage, where the four
often gather around a single
microphone to produce pure
and clear four-part harmo-
nies.
Leadi ng t he way i s
Waglers unmistakable tenor,
supported by Eric Brubaker
on fiddle, Brian Dickels
grounded upright bass and
Jay Lapps signature mando-
lin style.
Its easy to see why The
Steel Wheels have wowed
the contemporary Americana
scene. But the band didnt
start off with such lofty
goals.
Years ago, when the guys
in the band talked about
what we wanted to do, we
didnt have any illusion that
we would be touring nation-
ally necessarily, Wagler
explained. We thought if
we could get to Merlefest
(the annual traditional music
festival held in Wilkesboro,
N.C.), that would be just
amazing.
For us, that was all there
was. And so in many ways
were in a very good place.
Were going to Merlefest
this week, and its the second
time weve been there.
But when we get to stand
on stage and be playing
alongside or after or before
artists that weve been listen-
ing to for years and we really
have a tremendous amount
of respect for, that to me is
the time when I feel like we
really are experiencing some
magic.
Two years ago, as the band
was driving back from its
debut at the festival, the guys
began talking about creat-
ing their own festival in the
Shenandoah Valley.
They launched Red Wing
Roots Music Festival last
year and are hosting it again
in July.
We wanted to bring in
the people we wanted to see;
the different styles of music
that we represent ourselves,
Wagler said.
The festival will feature
dozens of acts, many of
which have appeared in the
past year or two the Opera
House, including Sara Jaro-
sz, Tim OBrien and Darrell
Scott, Pokey LaFarge, and
The Duhks. Other headliners
include Trampled by Turtles
and Peter Rowans Bluegrass
Band.
Wagler said hes been
strongly influenced as a
songwriter by Doc Watson,
Tim OBrien, and Gillian
Welch, along with such
western icons as Townes
Van Zandt and Guy Clark.
Thats the vein that we
want to be in and to stay in,
he said of the bands music.
We want to pay homage to
the traditions that we know
and love, and also hopefully
push them forward in some
different ways.

lakes since the 1970s. The
lake water quality is not
getting better. Its not get-
ting notably worse. Its as
if the interventions were
doing are just holding the
line.
Algae and bacteria, both
caused by pollution, con-
tinue to be the prime causes
for dozens of beach clo-
sures each year. Kirsti Sor-
sa, who has been manag-
ing the Madison and Dane
County Public Health beach
monitoring program since
2001, said the situation is
highly variable at beach-
es, changing by the day.
Since 1996, the agency
has closed the 16 beaches
it manages more than 1,300
days (one days closure at
one beach), averaging about
75 closure days each sum-
mer, according to an analy-
sis by the Wisconsin Center
for Investigative Journal-
ism. The shutdowns ranged
from 26 total days in 1999
to 193 days in 2009. The
monitored beach season
lasts about 100 days.
The years 2008 and 2009
were awful for harmful
algal blooms, Sorsa said,
while the 2012 drought
brought less runoff. Last
year, cool temperatures
inhibited floating algae
scums. Total beach closures
those two years were just
43 percent of the two peak
years.
We led a charmed life
this year, Carpenter said in
September as the beach sea-
son came to a close.
Health risks
Harmful algal blooms
and bacteria cause state and
local governments to cau-
tion beach users or close
the beaches along the Great
Lakes and at inland lakes
across Wisconsin.
Algae can cause a slew
of probl ems, i ncl udi ng
asthma-like symptoms; at
worst, it can be fatal to peo-
ple or pets.
Some bacteria cause gas-
trointestinal illness, but the
strains of E. coli used in
most beach tests are gener-
ally harmless and used as
an indicator for other patho-
gens bad bacteria, virus-
es, parasites or diarrhea-
causing protozoa that are
harder to test for.
The Wisconsin Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
has listed or proposed to
list 31 beaches statewide
as impaired for exceed-
ing the states E. coli water
quality standard, including
11 of the 16 Yahara lake
beaches. Bet ween 2009
and 2013, the Wisconsin
Department
o f He a l t h
S e r v i c e s
received 144
compl ai nt s
o f h u ma n
and ani mal
illness asso-
ciated with
e x p o s u r e
t o har mf ul
algal blooms, most com-
monly gastrointestinal dis-
tress, rashes, and respira-
tory or cold-like symptoms.
Since 2009, three out
of 11 illnesses reported in
Dane County that had a
connection with lake water
occurred at Lake Kegonsa.
Even on a good day in
Lake Monona, the beach
water is generally too green
for submerged swimmers to
see their own feet. On a bad
day, toxic algae scums float
on the surface.
They are symptoms of
what ails the Yahara chain:
Thousands of pounds of
phosphorus flow into the
lakes each year about
80 percent vi a manure
or nutrient-rich soil from
farms the rest from urban
sources like dead leaves
and construction erosion.
It is what allows the blue-
green algae to flourish.
Cleaning up the phospho-
rus would go a long way
toward helping the beach-
es. Doing so would take
aggressive management of
runoff, said Carpenter, who
believes it would be pos-
sible to cut the phospho-
rus running into the lakes
to 10 percent of what it is
now. He said in the 1830s,
boaters could see all the
way to the bottom of Lake
Mendota in July, instead of
the three to nine feet that
is normal today. The phos-
phorus pollution then was
probably one-tenth of what
it is today.
We probably cant go
back t o t hat unl ess we
revegetate the watershed
with the original savannah
vegetation, which is not
going to happen, he said.
But we could do a lot bet-
ter than were doing now.
Global interest in
Yahara
The Yahara watershed
is one of the few places in
the world where people are
trying new ways to clean
up the scourge of nonpoint
pollution that is, the kind
that does not come from
the end of a pipe, like agri-
cultural and urban runoff.
Nobody knows how to do it
well, Carpenter said.
People in the discipline
pay attention to what hap-
pens in Mendota, Carpen-
ter said, noting that it is one
of the most famous lakes
in the world because of the
long history of science and
management. The world is
watching, actually.
One of t hose experi -
ments is a regulatory tool.
The Madison Metropolitan
Sewerage District, under
an EPA-driven hammer to
reduce pollution that even-
tually flows into the Rock
River, is trying something
called adaptive manage-
ment. Instead of installing
expensive pollution con-
trols at the sewage treat-
ment plant, the utility can
pay farmers to reduce nutri-
ent pollution upstream.
If it succeeds, it will aid
another ambitious cleanup
effort. A nonprofit envi-
ronmental group, the Clean
Lakes Alliance, has also
drawn many players togeth-
er and converged upon a
14-point plan to halve the
phosphorus loading into
each of the four Yahara
chain lakes.
The latest efforts have
sparked some hope in sev-
eral longtime lake watchers
and researchers, including
Trina McMahon, a UW-
Madison civil engineering
professor who studies the
lakes and has seen promis-
ing biological signs. Blue-
green algae are not all the
same, and the species that
began appearing in Mendo-
ta in June the past few years
are different from their pre-
decessors, she said. They
are more characteristic of a
healthy lake.
We think that theyre a
hallmark of the lake recov-
ering, McMahon said.
She is not certain, and
she is eager to see how the
al gae communi t i es fare
after this winters long ice
cover. Overall she is cau-
tiously optimistic, because
theres so much momentum
now with the Clean Lakes
Alliance, and the county
and researchers.
I t hi nk i t s possi bl e
event ual l y, McMahon
said. Is it on time scales
t hat peopl e woul d care
about?

Lakes: Bacteria, algal blooms lead to multiple beach closures along Yahara Lakes
Continued from page 1
Dane Countys dirtiest beach?
According to researchers, some years its Lake Mendotas Spring
Harbor, near a large stormwater outfall that brings pollution from
as far away as West Towne Mall. Some years, it is shallow, weedy
Hudson, on Lake Monona. Overall, the medal goes easily to Vilas
Beach, on Lake Wingra, thanks in large part to the flocks of geese
that produce so much waste there.
In 2010 it was closed for 29 days at a stretch, and 43 total; more
recently, closures have dropped. Richard Lathrop, a retired DNR
scientist with an honorary position at UW-Madisons Center for
Limnology, recalled the waste while working on a Wingra carp-
removal project in 2007: I had to wear rubber boots just to go to
the bathroom.

The Stoughton High School baseball team celebrates in a dog pile following Austin Millers game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning Monday in a Badger South
Conference game against Oregon. Stoughton won 5-4.
Extra special
Vikings stave off upset
with walk-off in the 10th
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
The Stoughton High School base-
ball team was coasting along by the
strength of senior pitchers Chris
Lund and Josh Eugster Monday
until a throwing error allowed Ore-
gon to tie the game.
But Eugster didnt flinch for the
host Vikings, stranding go-ahead
runners on second and third in the
top of the seventh and picking up
four of his eight strikeouts in extra
innings.
Oregon senior pitchers Logan
Laski and Ross Galloway were hav-
ing similar success on the mound
after Laski gave up four early runs,
but an error on a throw from cen-
ter field to third base on a tag-up
attempt allowed Austin Miller to
race home for the game-winning
walk-off run in a 5-4 win in 10
innings.
Josh coming in and throwing 5
1/3 innings of quality baseball that
was fantastic for us, Stoughton
head coach Jeremy Dunnihoo said.
It kept us in it even though our bats
werent in it. We just got a break
from them and took advantage of it.
That break came in the bottom of
the 10th. Miller walked to lead off
the inning, which was the first walk
given up by Oregon pitching, and he
reached second on a stolen base.
Lund drilled a fly ball to center,
and Miller tagged up to go to third
with two outs. The throw came in
and sailed past the base, and Miller
was able to bounce up and race
home eventually ending up in a
dog pile in the celebration.
But the Vikings (6-1 overall,
3-0 Badger South) had a chance to
put the game before the game went
to extra innings. Eugster relieved
Lund in the bottom of the fifth, and
he struck out Oregon first baseman
Andrew Pliner with runners on sec-
ond and third to end the inning. The
Panthers (3-5, 1-2) already scored
two runs that inning on RBI doubles
by Laski and Galloway.
Eugster came back in the sixth
and pitched a 1-2-3 inning with two
more strikeouts, and he started the

Season preview
Head coach Josh Wol-

2 last season.
We will still compete
for conference, he said.
We are not as experienced
as last year but there is a
lot of potential.
Wollin sees Sauk Prairie,
La Crosse and DeForest as
the main competition for
Stoughton.
Sauk Prairie defeated the

and return a lot of its start-
ers.
La Crosse was 11-1 in

of key seniors, Wollin said.
DeForest returns after
having eight all-conference
players in 2013.

Posick wins pole vault with new PR
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Juni or Hannah Posi ck once
again leapt to a personal best in
the pole vault Tuesday in a Bad-
ger South Conference triple dual
against Monroe and the Panthers
at Oregon High School.
Posick reached 10 feet, 6 inches
and secured first place with the
next best being 9 feet by Stough-
ton senior Mykala Conroy.
Although the Lady Vikings fell
79-66 to Oregon, they defeated
Monroe 92-46 and won several
events.
Junior Alexa Deutsch (100 high
hurdles), senior Hannah Sonsalla
(100, 300 low hurdles), senior
Maren Schultz (high jump), junior
Megan Reese (long jump) and
junior Savanna Smith (shot put)
all picked up wins.
Deutschs time is unknown due
to an error, but Sonsalla took the
100 in 12.87 seconds and the 300
hurdles in 50.22.
Schultz won the high jump in
4-10, while Reese took the triple
jump in 15-7 1/2. Smith won the
shot put in 34-2 1/2.
BOYS
On the boys side, the Vikings
lost to Oregon 76-69 and Monroe
77-66, but they picked up five
wins.
Junior John McCune (800),
senior Kyle Patun (discus, shot
put) and senior Luke Logan (pole
vault) all joined the 4x800 relay of
freshman Owen Roe, junior Ryan
Sperle, freshman Tristan Jenny
and freshman Jackson Hampton.
McCune t ook t he 800 i n
2:07.15, while Patun won the dis-
cus with a throw of 119-9 and the
shot put with a heave of 45-2 1/2.
Logan added a first in the pole
vault with a height of 11-6.
The 3,200 relay won in 9:07.26.

Five-run fifth buries Panthers
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Stoughton softball managed
to get in Mondays make-up
game against Badger South
Conference rival Oregon
despite storms around the area
and won 7-1.
Leading 2-1 entering the
fifth, the visiting Vikings
quickly turned the tide in their
favor following back-to-back
hits to lead off the inning.
While Oregon (1-4 overall,
1-3 Badger South) recorded a
fielders choice to get the lead
runner at third one batter later,
the Vikings (2-2 overall, 2-1
conference) kept swinging.
Five hits and one walk later
Stoughton buried the Panthers
behind five runs in the fifth
inning.
Suzy Brickson got things
rolling with a double inside
the left-field chalk to push the
Vikings lead to two runs.
Suzy had been hitting the
ball so hard, she finally got
that ball in fair territory and it
was a huge hit for us, Vikings
head coach Kristin Siget said.
Vance and Cassie Adams
followed that up with back-
to-back singles before head
coach Mike Derrick went to
the bench.
With Cee Cee Herale
unable to pitch due to linger-
ing elbow problems, Oregon
called on Mikayla Berge.
An Oregon throwing error
led to another run before
Berge walked the bases load-
ed. Lead-off hitter Saman-
tha Tepp capped the five-run
fifth with an RBI single to left
before Berge struck out Liz
Auby. Panthers catcher Dani
Moore then picked Aly Moe
off third to end the inning.
Our bats had been roll-
ing throughout the game we
just couldnt string anything
together until the fifth, Siget
said. In that inning we were
finally able to put some bunts
down, run the bases and get
some big hits.
The lopsided final score
couldnt have been farther
from how the game began.
Despite a triple by Auby in the
top of the first and an infield
single by Morgan Neuenfeld,
Oregon escaped the inning
only allowing one run on a
throwing error by Herale.
The Panther shortstop
quickly made up for the mis-
cue though, launching a solo
home run to center with two
outs in the home half of the
inning.
As soon as Cee Cee hit
that I was already telling the
girls not to touch her until she
crosses home plate, Derrick
said. She wasnt even to first
yet, that thing was a rocket.
Despite getting the lead-
off hitter on base in the sec-
ond and seventh inning and
a runner on with two outs
in the third and sixth, Ore-
gon couldnt find an answer
against the Vikings.
Seaton went the distance,
striking out 10, including
seven out of the first 12 batters
she faced.
I know some girls on that
team, so if felt great to get the
win, especially with 10 strik
outs, Seaton said. That real-
ly good too.
Auby (3-for-5) and Tepp
(2-for-5) paced Stoughton at
the plate, while Moore fin-
ished 2-for-3 at the plate for
the Panthers.
Freshman Lacey Fluck-
inger got the start in the circle
for Oregon, working 4 1/3
innings but was ultimately
charged with the loss.
The improvement weve
made as a team from last year
to this season dont show up
in the win column, Derrick
said. People want to start see-
ing wins. We want it as much
as anyone else.
Across the diamond Siget
was pleased with the way her
team responded coming off
losses in its last two games.
This was a great win for us,
especially being a conference
team thats so close to us,
Siget said. Coming off two
losses and rolling into a four-
game weekend, hopefully we
can keep it going.
MIlton 12,
Stoughton 0 (6 inn)
Stoughton hosted the unde-
feated Milton Red Hawks on
Tuesday and lost 12-0.
Courtney Perrill threw a
four-hitter for Milton.
Seaton, who got the start
in the circle for the Vikings,
went all six innings for
Stoughton. She allowed eight
earned runs on 12 hits, while
collecting two of Stoughtons
four hits.
Monona Grove 11,
Stoughton 1 (6 inn.)
Earlier in the week the
Vikings traveled to Taylor
Prairie Elementary School in
Cottage Grove where they fell
11-1 to Monona Grove in six
innings.
Seaton went 5 1/3 in the
loss last Thursday, allowing
10 earned runs on 12 hits and
two walks. She struck out six.
Stoughtons offense was
limited to just five hits with
Vance collecting two singles
and Tepp hitting a solo home
run for the Vikings lone run.
Sophomore Kelsey Stinson
struck out eight for the win.
She also helped her cause at
the plate with a double and
triple for MG.
Tough competition at Monday invite

Assistant sports editor
The Stoughton High School boys golf
team got a crash course into what it
needs to do to succeed in its tough sec-
tional Monday at the Wisconsin Junior
PGA High School Rewards Invitational at
Maple Bluff Country Club.
Seven schools the Vikings will see
in the postseason in about a month fin-
ished ahead of them, including first-place
Middleton (305) and fifth-place Madison
Memorial (332).
Stoughton, which took 16th out of 23
teams (360), also watched all Badger
South Conference teams finish ahead.
Madison Edgewood was tied for third
(324); Fort Atkinson was sixth (335);
Monroe was ninth (349); Oregon was
10th (353); Milton was 12th (357); and
Monona Grove was tied for 13th (357).
Despite the struggles on a tough course
with rainy conditions early in the day,
freshman Sam Anderson and senior Max
Fergus did finish in the top 25. Anderson
was tied for 18th (81), while Fergus was
tied for 24th (82).
Sophomores Austin Kotlowski (98)
and Gunnar Goetz (99) finished the
scoring for the Vikings.
Catholic Memorials Dylan Allen (72)
won the invitational, followed by Lodis
Adam Miller (73) and Middletons Josh
Haunty (74).
Fort Atkinsons Nate Gilbert (75) was
fourth, and Oregons Carson Torhorst,

Monona Grove invite
Stoughton traveled to The Oaks Golf
Course in Monona Grove last Thursday
for an invite and finished tied for 13th out

seventh with another. But
Eugster allowed his first hit
to Laski, who was 3-for-4,
when he singled with one
out.
After another strikeout,
pinch hitter Mitch Weber
was able to slap a single into
right field to put runners at
the corners. Galloway, who
was 2-for-5, followed with
an RBI single to right, but
Eugster still had control.
With runners on second
and third, Eugster got ahead
of Pliner, but junior catcher
Zach Hasselberger attempt-
ed a pick-off to second base
and threw the ball into cen-
ter field, allowing Weber to
score.
We want, in that situa-
tion, Josh going and getting
the batter and finishing the
game out, Dunnihoo said.
Obviously if we can get
an out well take an out, but
we dont ever want to force
throws in situations when we
feel the pitcher has control
up there.
We have to learn to battle
through games like this. We
have to learn to be aggressive
when plays are there, but we
cant force it. It will definite-
ly be a teachable moment for
us.
Stoughton started the
scoring in the first inning.
Miller was hit by a pitch,
and junior Cade Bunnell
followed with an RBI triple
to right-center. Lund then
knocked an RBI double in
almost the spot to make it
2-0.
In the fifth, senior PJ Roso-
wski picked up an infield sin-
gle, and junior Alex Zacha-
rias and senior Braden Poirer
followed with singles to load
the bases. Junior Alec Show-
ers hit the fourth single in a
row for an RBI with no outs,
and Hasselberger drilled a
sacrifice fly to center to pick
up an RBI and make it 4-0
Stoughton.
The Vikings offense end-
ed there until the 10th, how-
ever. Dunnihoo said a lot of
it came from Laski settling
down and changing speeds to
keep Stoughton off balance,
but he said everyone helped
out by chasing bad pitches
and letting hitable ones go.
That has kind of been
our theme this year. We get
off to early leads and kind of
either coast to a win or have
to fight and claw after we let
a team back in it, he said.
But we have to find a way
to keep those good at bats
going throughout the whole
game and not just the first
couple of innings.
The good news for Stough-
ton is that the pitching didnt
let up. Lund added six strike-
outs, and he and Eugster
often left Panthers batters
perplexed at the plate. With
an offense that has scored 56
runs in seven games to open
the season, Dunnihoo said
he thinks Stoughton will be
scary when it can have both
offensive and pitching suc-
cess on the same day.
Lund went 4 2/3 innings
and allowed two runs on six
hits. Eugster allowed three
hits and a walk for the win.
The 14 strikeouts the two
combined for is what Oregon
head coach Kevin Connor
said was the difference.
It looked like we were
hesitant, not ready to just
pull the trigger and swing the
bat, Connor said. The story
in that game was strikeouts.
We have to do a little bit
better job of putting the ball
in play.
Laski went seven innings
and allowed four runs on
nine hits. He struck out
six and hit a batter. Gal-
loway pitched the final 2
2/3 innings and allowed an
unearned run on one walk.
He also struck out one.
Stoughton continues the
season at 5 p.m. Thursday
against Monroe at home
before traveling to Roosevelt
Field in Oconomowoc for a
non-conference game at 4:30
p.m. Friday. The Vikings
finish the week at 5 p.m.
Tuesday at Fort Atkinson.
Stoughton 3, MG 2
Stoughton won in another
walk-off last Thursday in
a 3-2 victory over Monona
Grove at home.
After the Silver Eagles tied
the game at 2 in the top of the
seventh, the Vikings were
able to bounce back in the
bottom of the inning with an
RBI single by Bunnell with
one out and the bases loaded.
Rosowski finished 2-for-3
with an RBI. Miller added an
RBI.
Rosowski pitched seven
innings and allowed two
earned runs on eight hits. He
struck out four and walked
three. Jason Bilke picked up
the loss for MG. He allowed
two earned runs on seven hits
in 6 1/3 innings. He walked
two and struck out two.
Stoughton 5, Milton 0
The Vikings traveled to
Milton on Tuesday and shut
out the Red Hawks 5-0 on
the strength of Rosowskis
complete-game, 13-strike
out, one-hit shutout.
Tim Johnson led Stough-
ton with two hits, while
Showers, Bunnell and Lund
all collected RBIs.
Milton had two errors in
the loss.

wi t h PHMDC, as many
over dos e vi ct i ms who
dont die or get hospital-
ized go unreported.
Much of the attention in
Dane County and the state
lately has focused on hero-
in, which about five or six
years ago began to resur-
face as a cheaper alternative
to addictive painkillers. But
opiate-based prescription
painkillers such as Vico-
din or Oxycontin - havent
gone away, either.
They still account for
nearly two-thirds of Dane
Countys overdoses, Bull-
ard-Cawthorne notes, and
three-quarters of opiate
users recovering or cur-
rent say their addiction
started with prescription
pain meds.
Scarce data
In Stoughton, local offi-
cials stop short of saying
heroin and other opiates
are rampant. But police and
emergency personnel say
an uptick in overdoses in
recent years has remained
steady.
Police and EMS officials
here dont track heroin- or
opiate-specific data. But
between 2007 and 2011,
there were 67 hospitaliza-
tions in Stoughtons 53589
ZIP code for drug overdos-
es, according to PHMDC.
Thats about an average
rate for communities sur-
rounding Madison.
Tina Strandlie manages
t he Emergency Depart -
ment at Stoughton Hospital.
While the hospital hasnt
seen an alarming rise in
drug overdoses, she said
staff responds to three to
five a month. She added,
however, t hat her dat a
doesnt specify the type of
drug used or distinguish
between unintentional over-
doses and suicides.
In 2001, local ambulanc-
es started carrying Narcan,
a drug used to counteract
overdoses from heroin or
other opiates, said Stough-
ton EMS director Cathy
Rigdon. But local EMTs
rarely, if ever, needed it for
the first few years.
Last year, first respond-
ers administered Narcan
only once, and the depart-
ment doesnt have data for
previous years. But Rigdon
said overdose calls dont
all require Narcan and are
more common than they
used to be.
You di dnt hear t he
word heroin 10 years ago
like you do today, Rigdon
said. I do think theres a
problem here, but I dont
know exactly how bad the
problem is.
Stoughton police note
similar signs. Detective
Brandon Hill said that in
his first eight years here,
he rarely heard of an over-
dose call. But over the
past half-dozen years or
so, it happens a couple of
times a year. And much of
Stoughtons problems trav-
el to Madison, where users
commonly obtain their her-
oin, he said.
Exampl es abound. In
October 2011, four men
between the ages of 19 to
23 drove from Stoughton to
the parking lot of a Madi-
son grocery store to buy
heroin. Three were from
Stoughton and one, from
Oregon, nearly died of an
overdose after shooting up
in the parking lot. A month
earlier, a Madison police
officer revived a 20-year-
old Stoughton woman who
overdosed on heroin out-
side a west Madison shop-
ping mall. Last August,
police arrested a 22-year-
old Stoughton woman for
using stolen credit cards to
buy goods she pawned for
heroin. Last October, Madi-
son police arrested Stough-
ton resident Todd R. Pink,
for burglarizing a home to
pay for his heroin habit. He
was later convicted of felo-
ny burglary.
Expensive habit
Not that Stoughton is
immune from local drug
crimes. During a single
five-day span in April 2012,
St ought on pol i ce made
seven drug-related arrests,
including four for delivery
or possession of heroin.
Primarily, however, the
t ri ckl e-down effect for
Dane County suburbs like
Stoughton is more thefts
and burglaries by addicts
desperate to pay for their
habit. Hill said that just last
month, he spoke to a home-
less, unemployed Stough-
ton woman spending up to
$350 a day on heroin. Hes
also heard of locals prosti-
tuting themselves in Madi-
son for money.
Almost all heroin in Dane
County comes to Madison
via Chicago, said Lt. Jason
Fr eedman of t he Dane
Count y Narcot i cs Task
Force. While most users
still come to Madison for
the drug, he said dealers are
traveling more to the sub-
urbs in recent years.
Im very confident this
is not an urban-only prob-
lem, Freedman said.
While prices fluctuate,
Freedman said a gram of
heroin typically sells for
between $120 and $150 in
the Madison area. Thats
enough for three to 10 dos-
es, depending on the user.
Not a dramatic jump
Bullard-Cawthorne and
others aired concerns that
first-time users of heroin
or painkillers are starting at
younger ages.
But whi l e opi at e use
appears to be rising, local
teens arent using them in
big numbers, according
to local responses to the
2012 Dane County Youth
Assessment survey.
Just over half of Stough-
ton High School students
surveyed said theyd tried
alcohol or illegal drugs
before, and nearl y hal f
of seniors surveyed said
theyd ridden in a car driv-
en by someone whod been
drinking. Nearly four in 10
SHS students had tried mar-
ijuana.
By contrast, more than
98 percent of respondents
said theyd never tried her-
oin, while 91 percent said
theyd never illegally used
prescription drugs. Both
figures mirror countywide
stats.
Stoughton also tracks
its own numbers, using
its Youth Risk Behavior
Survey. That survey has
shown some declines in
the use of heroin, prescrip-
tion drugs, the drug ecstacy
and alcohol among Stough-
ton teens over the past four
years, said Nancy Crass-
weller, AODA prevention
coordinator for the Stough-
ton Area School District.
By and large, Stoughton
High School has not seen a
marked increase in students
coming to school high or in
possession of drugs as hero-
in and painkiller abuse has
risen countywide, said Pete
Wilson, the districts direc-
tor of student services.
We have seen cases here
or there, he said. Have
we seen a dramatic jump? I
would say no.
Wilson notes that admin-
istrators receive training
to detect when a student is
high, and counselors are
in place to help struggling
kids. He expects informa-
t i on about prescri pt i on
drug abuse and heroin will
be part of future district-
sponsored parent-education
events, too.
Raising awareness
As awareness of opiate
abuse has grown, so have
efforts to combat it, Bull-
ard-Cawthorne said.
One example is the Safe
Communities initiative of
Madison and Dane County,
a program that, for exam-
ple, has pushed for med-
drop boxes in communi-
ties to eradicate supplies
of painkillers and is reach-
ing out to the medical and
dental profession to curb
prescriptions of addictive
drugs.
Stoughton opened a per-
manent drop site outside
the police station in 2012,
in fact.
Bullard-Cawthorne said
theres still work to be done
to see addiction as a disease
that requires treatment, not
just punishment. And, she
added, stigmas that addicts
are junkies on the street
are outdated.
Its just this wrong per-
ception, she said. These
are your neighbors, your
neighbors kids. Its a wide
spectrum of people.
Th e Ne wma n f a m-
ily knows that all too well.
Growi ng up i n Cot t age
Grove, Chase Newman
was a smart, fun kid who
thrived in his high schools
DECA program, his mother
said. But he struggled with
addiction for years, attend-
ing five recovery programs.
In his early 20s he was
diagnosed as bipolar, and
in 2010, his older brother,
who also struggled with
depression, took his own
life.
The combi nat i on was
too much, Jeff Newman
said. At his best moments,
Chase was clean for up
to a year. The death of
two Monona Grove High
School classmates and close
friends in 2010 shook him
up. Still, he kept relapsing.
At his funeral and after-
wards, Jeff Newman said
numerous people told him
how Chase had saved their
life as a mentor, helping
them fight off their own
addictions.
In her eul ogy, Lesl i e
Newman i mpl or ed her
sons friends to seek help.
You should be going to
each others weddings,
she said at the time, rather
than have the heartache
of hanging out at anoth-
er funeral of a friend of
yours.
Nearly two years later,
the couple is still reeling.
Reading emails and letters
from Chases old friends
still makes them cry. Being
act i ve i n t hei r church,
where they help run a sup-
port group for people strug-
gling to overcome addic-
tions or just bad habits, has
helped, Jeff said. But about
their only respite is know-
ing that Chase is finally
free from his addictions,
Leslie said.
They still hope his death
will steer others from ever
trying heroin, even if its
hard to talk about.
I want people to know
that this drug is out there
and what its doing, Leslie
said. You cant make it go
away by being quieter.
