Stoughton Area School district voters backed three challengers and one incumbent for the school board in Tuesdays elections. Still, Donna Tarpinian, an office manager with InterWorks LLC, led the field with 1,775 votes to gain a second term on the board, Tarpinian according to results from the district. W a n d a Grasse, a 27-year educator with the Madison school district, took Grasse second in the field with 1,643 votes. Joe Freye, a master printer, took third with 1,615 votes. Tarpinian, Grasse and Freye Freye will all serve threeyear terms. Francis X. Frank Sullivan, an assistant attorney general with the Sullivan state Department of Justice, captured the final spot on board with 1,579 votes. He will serve a two-year term. Bev Fergus, a fitness instructor who was appointed to the board earlier this year, finished fifth 1,446 votes. Scott Dirks, an assistant Rock County district attorney who was elected to the school board in 2010, finished sixth with 1,423 votes. The state of relations with district staff had been raised as a central campaign issue by the three challengers in the wake of contract negotiations and of a new employee handbook approved by the board last year.

Homegrown jazz sprouts in Stoughton

BILL LIVICK
Unied Newspaper Group

SASD

What to do when youre a jazz musician without much opportunity to perform? For trumpeter Craig Mason, the answer was to just start something and see where it leads. In this case, it led to the formation about a year ago of the Stoughton Area Jazz Collective, which practices twice a month and performs on the second Monday of each month at the Main Street Pour House in downtown Stoughton. I knew there were a lot of good jazz musicians in the Stoughton area and thought, lets just start something, because there really isnt much of an outlet for people to play, Mason explained.

So I got some folks together and it just kind of took off. We started with 15 or 20 people interested, and then it narrowed down to what we have now. What they have is a seven-piece band featuring two saxophone players, a pianist, a bassist, a drummer and a trombone player, in addition to Mason on trumpet.

The collective features a mother and son Nadine and Raymond Doudlah (piano and bass) and also a son and his father, Dominick (alto sax) and Paul (trombone) Vanderscheuren. Rounding out the group are Joel Croyle on drums and Jim Keeney on tenor sax.

Jazz: Local musicians band together for monthly performances at Main Street Pour House
Continued from page 1 The group performs mainly jazz standards by a variety of artists, along with a couple of Masons original compositions. And we may be doing some original things of the drummer, who is actually a composer himself, Mason added. He is a wonderful addition to the group. Hes been with us only four or five months and is a great musician. Raymond Doudlah, who plays acoustic upright bass, may become a great musician, too. Although hes a high school senior, Doudlah has four years of jazz band experience, having begun playing bass in eighth grade and continuing for his first three years at Stoughton High School. He left the high school jazz band this year because of a tight schedule, but the jazz collective has given him

an opportunity to keep playing, only in a more laidback setting. Its not as high-strung as the high school jazz band, Doudlah said. We have fun and just like playing music together. Its a great time. Chances are Doudlah is learning as much in SAJC as he would in the high school jazz band. For one thing, Mason used to direct the high school band and worked with Doudlah for two years in it. And Doudlahs mother is also a band director, in Madison schools. Thats a lot of potential instruction for Doudlah and the bands other highschooler, freshman Dominick Vanderscheuren.

would be their regular schedule. Mason said Dunbar would have welcomed more frequent performances, but he was cautious not to overcommit. She wants us to play for a couple special things that are coming up this spring, other than just those Monday nights, Mason said. I think were going to be able to do those. That explains the bands gig next Thursday at 9 p.m. in the Pour House, following a show at the Opera House.

The improvisation
The idea of the jazz collective was to have an intimate setting of musicians who could take great care and attention to detail. Mason said with any kind of music, whether its vocal or instrumental, when you get it down to its smallest group a duo or a trio, which is called chamber music that is the best way to really learn and grow as a musician because you can hear everything and you can listen and communicate very well. Thats how he always approached things as a high school band director, he said, by narrowing the group and concentrate on learning the music and then we can really grow, and that makes the large group even better. But jazz is largely about improvisation, and SAJC is no exception. Generally what we do is play whats called the head, which is the melody, and then we all improvise, Mason explained. And then we come back to the head. There might be a main theme of the head and there might be a secondary theme, but generally its play the head a couple times and then well all take turns improvising and soloing. While the players in the collective are all at different levels of that as individuals, Mason said, as long as everyone is growing and learning, the band will continue to move forward. SAJCs repertoire includes some music thats 12-bar blues based and some thats more modern. Theres always a set chord structure with each piece, Mason said. We do songs like Take the A Train, some things by Miles Davis my personal favorite and Sonny Rollins. Its mostly stuff from the 1940s up through the 70s. One thing the band lacks is a vocalist. Mason said if someone were interested we certainly would work toward that. Part of SAJCs limitation is its lack of funding, but it has been fortunate to get help. We have several organizations that have donated money for the purchase of music, which has been great, Mason said. We also have Christ Lutheran Church here in town that donates a rehearsal space for us. Thats wonderful, because when we play our gig, we dont get paid. We just play at least for now, he added, with a laugh. If we get really good, then well charge.

The Stoughton Area Jazz Collective got their start a little more than a year ago when former SHS music teacher Craig Mason threw the idea out there to musician friends in the area.

voice in what were going to work on, how were going to approach things musically, and anybody can makes suggestions about changes or what theyre hearing or tempos anything like that. Mason likes that, he says, because everybody is bright and knowledgeable enough to do that.

Getting started
Mason said he threw the idea out there to friends and other musicians he knew about getting a jazz band together a little more than a year ago. He got a good response right away. The second step was acquiring some charts, or

songs. That costs money, and so Mason turned to some folks who had supported his work as a musician and educator. I just simply asked: Would you be able to give us some start-up money? he recalled. And lo and behold, they did. So off we went. It really took off pretty fast. It took us about eight or nine months to get solid with the music before we felt we could perform. He contacted Jeanne Dunbar, owner of the Pour House, to see about performing there. After the initial performance, she and the band decided a monthly gig on the second Monday

Enrollment: Families enroll out of district for various reasons

Continued from page 1 opinion. A preference for a religious education and concerns about low academic achievement, teaching methods and class sizes were among the leading factors respondents identified in their decision not to enroll here, according to the survey results presented to the school board last month. A lot of it is perception, superintendent Tim Onsager told the board. The district reached out to 223 households in a telephone survey earlier this year, targeting families who reside here but either home-school or send at least one child to private school or a public school in another district. The results are based on 69 families that completed the survey. The district has suffered declining enrollment in general over the years, a trend that has funding implications under the states school finance scheme. The increasing number of students who use Wisconsins open enrollment system where families can apply to send their child to another public school district is part of that trend of losing students, although the areas demographics have played the primary role. A total of 155 students transferred out of Stoughton last year while only 44 transferred into it through that system, according to online information from the state Department of Public Instruction. That gap has grown over the years. Over the last couple of years, Onsager has informally surveyed families who send their children to other public school districts. This year, the district sought a more formal and substantive survey. A total of 42 percent of the respondents said their child or children attend a private school, while 27 percent home-school and 31 percent send them to another school district. Thirty-five percent cited the lack of a religious

be staged by Minnesotabased Commonweal Theatre Company at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 6. Darlene Arneson, the Sons of Norway Mandt Lodge president and a member of the group that has planned the Destination Stoughton weekends, said Commonweal usually comes to Stoughton every two years. This year, organizers decided to build supporting events around Commonweals production and tie it in with the citys Destination Stoughton, Arneson said. Weve got quite a gem in the Stoughton Opera House, she said. The play, adapted from Ibsens original, depicts a young wife who is forced to make a stunning choice when a past misdeed threatens to destroy her perfect household, according to Commonweals website. The theatre company is based in Lanesboro, Minn., and annually produces the works of Ibsen, among other playwrights. The performance will follow a couple of related events hosted by the Sons of Norway-Mandt Lodge, 317 S. Page St. At 4 p.m., the Lodge will host a screening of a documentary about Ibsen. A social that includes lodge tours, appetizers and refreshments will follow from 5 to 6:45 p.m. Several other events will fill out the weekends event lineup. The lodge will also host a Learn About Hardanger Workshop from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday. Supplies, coffee and refreshments will be provided at the free workshop that Arneson said affords a chance to come and try it (hardanger) once without having to commit. The Stoughton Historical Society, 324 S. Page St., also will be open from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday. For a $2 donation, visitors can see displays of bunads and rosemaling, a history of tobacco around Stoughton, various Norwegian collections, a fire truck and more.

There is also another Norwegian-themed activity in the area this weekend, but its outside the city limits. The Norwegian American Genealogical Center (NAGC) and Naeseth Library, a Madison-based nonprofit, will hold its annual fundraiser at 4 p.m. Sunday, April 7, at the Madison Marriott West Conference Center, 1313 John Q. Hammons Drive, Middleton. The event will feature a talk from Bill Amundson, a Stoughton artist who will give an interesting spin on growing up Norwegian, Arneson said. The registration deadline for that talk was March 28. This weekends activities will help lead into next months annual Syttende Mai festival here. The next Destination Stoughton will be in late October. The events were developed by a collection of 20 businesses and civic groups, led by the Sons of Norway-Mandt Lodge, that together comprise the Norwegian Summit Group. The group started the Destination Stoughton series in late October 2012, building that weekend around the Wisconsin State Rosemalers annual Holiday Sale and offering such events as music and genealogical presentations at the lodge, a rosemaling bazaar at the fire station and a street performance by the Norwegian Dancers. Laura Trotter, the Stoughton Chamber of Commerces visitor services director, told the Hub on Monday that said the October Rosemaler event was a very big success. Other Destination Stoughton activities, such as the addition of a bunad show to support Februarys performance and fundraiser by the Norwegian Dancers, are definitely going to grow, she said. Arneson has been happy with it, too. Its been a really good effort, Arneson said. Its just been very, very rewarding.

education as a factor in their decision not to enroll their child in the district, the leading cause. That was followed by 29 percent who cited low student achievement, 25 percent who said poor teaching methods or teacher performance and 24 percent who said class sizes were too large. Course offerings, transportation, convenience and safety concerns were among the other factors. In terms of what they considered most important when picking a school, teachers (63 percent), math and science courses (60 percent), Advanced Placement classes (56 percent), and discipline and safety (51 percent) were top considerations, respondents said. In contrast,

only 35 percent said student achievement and test scores were important, while 27 percent said religious education and 25 percent said the quality of sports programs. In his presentation to the board, Onsager outlined measures the district has already taken to attract students and address some of the issues raised in the survey. The district next year will introduce more dual-credit classes through the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, open up its new fabrication laboratory at the high school and continue its emphasis on literacy. The district hopes its new online education program, the JEDI Network, will help stem the number of students enrolling

elsewhere. Figures previously provided by the district show the virtual school in the McFarland School District accounted for more of the applications to enroll out of Stoughton than any other institution last year. Still other measures to attract students include professional development for teachers, ACT-preparation tests for students and a committee examining the districts bullying policies, Onsager said. He took heart in the figure showing that almost half of the surveys respondents said they would reconsider enrolling their child into the district. Are we there yet? No. Are we going to get there? You bet. Because we have to, Onsager said.

Letters to the editor

Stoughton should support hiring a school resource officer

I have heard that Stoughton is considering a School Resource Officer. My children went to Oregon High School, and they have an officer. My children and I felt very comfortable having the officer, in full uniform, at school. I felt safe knowing the officer was educated to protect my children, prevent crime, and decrease alcohol and drugs in the school. I liked seeing him walking the halls visiting with students and staff. I liked seeing him outside keeping an eye on the school grounds. Kids who heard something and wanted to tell someone could tell the officer, knowing that he was not a parent or school staff person, so they were not telling on anyone. But it might prevent a friend from getting hurt, which allowed my children to have a clear conscience. When my children made poor choices, I was glad to have the officer help us learn from the situation before it became a bigger problem. After school I often saw kids smiling and chatting with the officer. He played basketball with them occasionally and was someone they could talk to. The officer had training in crisis and suicide prevention and was a resource to students as well as school staff. He provided a sense of security and stability. I see teachers and school staff as having to wear too many hats. We want them to educate our kids, parent our kids, protect our kids, teach them basic skills, be a mentor, be a friend and do this simultaneously for classes of over 20 kidsand be totally aware of safety and surroundings! This is just not realistic. I see a School Resource Officer as a presence in the school who can balance protecting our children with being a supportive resource for them as well as for our parents and school staff. Stoughton is one of only a few schools left in Dane County without a School Resource Officer. Most schools have had this position for over 10 years. I think it would be very positive for the image of the City of Stoughton and the Stoughton School District, to show we care about our students. Brenda Dottl RN Stoughton

Corrections
A picture in last weeks Hub about Dancing with the Stoughton Stars incorrectly identified Roxanne Comstock. An article in last weeks Hub incorrectly stated the time of Dancing with the Stoughton Stars as well as the Wisconsin Singers performance time. The event will start at 7 p.m., April 6, and the Wisconsin Singers will perform for 60 minutes, not 90. The article also identified the event as a Stoughton Hospital fundraiser instead of the Partners of Stoughton Hospital. The Hub regrets the errors.

Dont hike cost of public records

A ruling last year by the Wisconsin Supreme Court involving the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel became the focus of attention Feb. 27, when a state Assembly committee held a public hearing on a bill, AB 26, that would drastically increase the cost of obtaining public records. The bill, if approved, would let custodians of public records Juley charge a fee for redacting sensitive information. It was introduced in reaction to the courts ruling that such fees are not allowed under current law. I spoke at the hearing against the bill, as did representatives of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association and Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council. Among those in speaking in favor were representatives of the Wisconsin Counties Association, League of Wisconsin Municipalities and University of WisconsinMadison. The proponents argued that they incurred huge costs reviewing and redacting records, especially for voluminous requests. But this is a function that public officials are paid to do. And, in fact, the Open Records Law currently allows custodians to charge requesters for the cost of locating the records when the fee exceeds $50. In addition, requesters already are paying for copying costs. Last year alone, the Journal Sentinel spent more than $22,400 to obtain open public records and database searches, and over the last five years, weve spent more than $86,000 on public records requests. Those totals do not include legal fees. Adding more fees on top of what already is required in the statute will put many record searches out of the reach of many news organizations, let alone the general public. Moreover, the Journal Sentinel routinely works closely with record-keepers to make sure our requests are focused, narrow and specific. We are a news business that wants to obtain records as soon as we can. It is not in our best interest to burden record-keepers with unnecessary work that would delay the release of records. It is the responsibility of record-keepers to maintain orderly records, so they can be retrieved effectively and efficiently. Many record-keepers in Wisconsin and elsewhere already have converted records to digital formats in ways that keep sensitive material in specific columns, so that information can be redacted with a keystroke. We suggested several ways that custodians could reduce the cost of redacting, from putting more public records online to allowing clerks at lower pay to do the redacting. Among the most poignant testimony came from a Madison woman who said she wasnt affiliated with any organization. The parent of a child with special needs, she has made a number of records requests of her local school district and has encountered what she already feels are excessive costs. Should public records be available only to those who can afford to get them? The public owns and has the right to see the records of its government, with a few reasonable exceptions. Public records do not belong to administrators and bureaucrats some of whom, experience tells us, would use these proposed redaction fees to hide problems and keep taxpayers and voters from learning about potentially embarrassing or even incriminating documents. For our democracy to work, people must know what their government is up to. We need openness and transparency. Adding another cost to gain access to public documents increases the potential for abuse, waste and ineffective management, at all levels of government.

Middle school students learn in northern Wisconsin

Students from River Bluff Middle School recently attended a two-day educational workshop at Trees For Tomorrow. The campus of this natural resources specialty school is in the heart of downtown Eagle River, surrounded by forested private and public lands and the worlds largest freshwater chain consisting of 28 lakes. The classes offered at a Trees For Tomorrow workshop, gives students the opportunity to meet curriculum requirements while receiving hands-on learning in an outdoor environment. Some of the subjects the 7th grade students from River Bluff studied include: human survival skills, wilderness investigation, GPS, logging history, animal tracking, wolves, live birds of prey, and wildlife biology. There are over 50 courses available which allows teachers to customize a workshop to best meet the needs of their students. The Sylvania Wilderness Area and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest provide outdoor classrooms that are vital to the education of many school groups throughout the state of Wisconsin, nearby Michigan and Illinois. River Bluff Middle School teacher, Carol Riley said, Trees For Tomorrow is an awesome experience that 7th graders at River Bluff look forward to each year. River Bluff student Kaiden Lee said, Ive been waiting to go on this trip since I was in the fourth grade and my mom was a chaperone. I was anxious to learn more about science, the environment, animals, survival skills, animals scent tracking, wolves in Wisconsin, and learning to snowshoe were all learning activities that I enjoyed. Trees For Tomorrow has been around since 1944, and was originally founded by nine Wisconsin paper companies in order to provide a local, self-sustaining wood supply for these companies. As wood supplies became more abundant, Trees For Tomorrow redirected its focus to education on the sustainability of natural resources. Approximately 5,000 students and adults annually participate in classes at Trees For Tomorrow. During the school year, students participate in a two to four day intensive workshops, stay in fully furnished dorms, and enjoy three healthy meals a day in the historic dining hall on campus. In the summer, campus is buzzing with activities such as: Youth Outdoor Adventure Series day camp, family programs, evening public programs, Teacher workshops, Road Scholar weeklong programs, events, weddings and family reunions. As a nonprofit school, Trees For Tomorrow does not receive any state funding; so many generous donors help support students that participate in this educational experience. The students from River Bluff Middle School received support from the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association and the Thomas S. Kemp Foundation.

District offers another low-cost parenting class

Parents can now sign up for another parenting class hosted by the Stoughton Area School District. The district will offer the four-week Parenting the Love and Logic Way class beginning April 11. The course will be offered from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursdays through May 2 at the district administration building, 320 North St. The program has a registration fee of $10 to cover the cost of materials. The course is developed by the Love and Logic Institute and offers parents tips on how to set limits, help their children learn from mistakes rather than repeat them and remain calm when their children do upsetting things. The Love and Logic philosophy was founded in 1977 by educator Jim Fay and psychiatrist Foster W. Cline, according to the institute website. The district can waive the registration fee for those families facing hardship, the district said. Child care is also available upon request in advance the week before. Register for the class with Nancy Crassweller, the school districts alcohol and other drug abuse prevention coordinator, either via email at nancy. crassweller@stoughton. k12.wi.us or by mailing in slip available from the district website to Crassweller at the SASD Administration building, 320 North Street, Stoughton WI 53589. For more information, call 877-5047. This will be the second parenting class offered by the school district this year. Earlier it offered a fiveweek Guiding Good Choices program, a research-based drug prevention program from the Massachussetts-based Channing Bete Company. The program tries to prevent substance abuse among teens by teaching parents effective family management and communication skills before their children enter adolescence. Those courses were geared toward parents of fourthand fifth-graders. Crassweller previously told the Hub that the district had wanted to do more parent outreach with programs like Guiding Good Choices.

Thought for the week

We all seek love
The Persian poet and mystic Rumi was intoxicated by love and his poems are so filled with outpourings of love for his fellow man, for creation, and for God that one is almost embarrassed upon reading them. When reading his poetry, one feels almost as if one is reading the intimate diaries of someone who is gushing over his beloved: When I am with you, we stay up all night. When youre not here, I cant go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them. Rumi taps into the almost infinite longing within all of us to be united to our beloved, and ultimately, to be united to the source of our very existence. The mystical epiphany for Rumi was that what we have been seeking has actually been seeking us, and we need not go to the ends of the earth to find it because its actually within us: What you seek is seeking you. Rumi tells us The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers dont finally meet somewhere. Theyre in each other all along. We all long to reunite with the primal source of our being. The ancient Greeks explained this by saying that before birth we were joined to a complementary being which was essentially our other half. Nowadays people talk of having a Godshaped hole within us. Rumi said My soul is from elsewhere, Im sure of that, and I intend to end up there. He also said There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, dont you? Christopher Simon

Herbicides: Residents raise concerns about safety of chemical sprays in city parks
Continued from page 1 under control. Naturally Stoughton counters that the real threat one that could potentially affect more people is posed by putting toxins into areas where people may be exposed. They argue that environmental exposure to toxic chemicals is contributing to a disturbing escalation of serious diseases, particularly in children. Organizers have asked officials to delay applying chemicals until city staff have had a chance to check with other communities and turf experts about possible alternatives. For example, one strategy thats used in Madison and elsewhere is known as an integrated pest management program, an environmentally sensitive approach to controlling weeds that relies on a combination of commonsense practices. All we are asking for is more time, because it sounds like they dont have an integrated pest management program, Weaver told the Hub. Really it doesnt sound like they have a plan at all. Its like, they have a weed problem that could be a potential hazard, and theyre going to fix that by spraying herbicides without considering the alternatives. Weaver added that while Manthe has discussed recommendations with chemical companies, he hasnt consulted any companies about alternative methods. Mayor Donna Olson said she heard lots of opposition to herbicides at last weeks meeting, but shes also heard from as many if not more people who complain that the citys parks are looking bad compared to those in other municipalities. Its important to remember that while that room was full of people who didnt want any type of treatment of our parks, there were that many if not more people who have contacted us in the last year saying our parks are terrible for sports, she said. She asked Manthe to continue looking into the matter and find out what other cities are doing. With the response from our community with their concerns, well take another look at it and try to find a compromise, Olson said.

Herbicide fact sheet

What is 2,4-D?

One of the chemicals commonly found in herbicides is 2,4-D. This chemical is found in Triplet SF, which the city is considering using in parks and on athletic fields to control weeds. 2,4-D is an herbicide that kills plants by changing the way certain cells grow. 2,4-D comes in several chemical forms, including salts, esters, and an acid form. The toxicity of 2,4-D depends on its form. The form also affects what will happen to 2,4-D in the environment and what impacts it may have, especially on fish. 2,4-D is used in many products to control weeds, and it is often mixed with other herbicides in these products. 2,4-D was first used in the United States in the 1940s. Agent Orange, an herbicide used during the Vietnam War, contained both 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. Dioxin, a by-product of 2,4,5-T, led to the ban of Agent Orange. Products containing 2,4-D may be liquids, dusts, or granules. The liquid forms may be concentrated or ready-to-use. There are over a thousand products with 2,4-D in them that are sold in the United States. 2,4-D kills broadleaf weeds but not most grasses. 2,4-D kills plants by causing the cells in the tissues that carry water and nutrients to divide and grow without stopping. Herbicides that act this way are called auxin-type herbicides. Products with 2,4-D may be used on farms, home lawns, roadsides, industrial areas, and pastures. You may be exposed if you are applying 2,4-D and you get it on your skin, breathe it in, or eat or smoke afterwards without washing your hands. You also may be exposed if you touch plants that are still wet with spray. You can limit exposure by following the label carefully if you are using products that contain 2,4-D. You can also stay away from grass or plants that have been treated until the leaves are dry.

From left, city residents Gennifer Weaver, Sylvia Lawrence with baby Felix, Hannah Lawrence, Eve Downie, Sara Downie and Drew Downie gather at Veterans Park, in which the women hope city officials will not use chemicals to control weeds.

What are some products that contain 2,4-D?

Opposition to toxins
Lawrence, the mother of two kids including an infant, lives next to Veterans Park on the Yahara River. Shes an organic gardener and also raises chickens in her backyard. She thought shed seen pesticide warning flags at the park last year and was under the impression the city didnt use chemicals for weed control. And so a few weeks ago she called the parks department to inquire. That is how I learned of

the plan to spray all parks and athletic fields, she wrote in an email to the Hub. She began researching pesticide use and the potential risks and also began discussing the issue with Weaver and other friends. She also contacted Ald. Tricia Suess (Dist. 3), who supports Naturally Stoughtons efforts to persuade the city to find alternatives. Since I am an organic gardener, I had basic knowledge of health concerns regarding pesticide exposure, Lawrence wrote. I have researched the chemicals and their potential effects and find the threat to my familys health unacceptable. Her friends Weaver and Downie are both registered nurses who work for University of Wisconsin Hospitals. They also both have two children and share Lawrences concern about using pesticides to control innocuous plants like dandelions, which Weaver has harvested from local parks and used in salads. I use dandelion greens regularly, she said. I use lots of wild foods. The funny thing that people dont realize is they sell dandelion greens in health food stores. Instead, were trained to spray chemicals on them. Weaver said when Lawrence told her of the citys intention to begin using herbicides in parks, she was horrified because she lives near East Side Park. Having young children who play in the parks, Im concerned about them getting direct exposure and contamination from the chemicals that are sprayed there, or because I live across the street from the park, Im worried about what they call spray drift, she said. Like Lawrence, Weaver is an organic gardener and raises backyard chickens. Shes also concerned about the ramifications for the animals. She acknowledges that compared with some other chemicals that were used in

the past like DDT, theres a low level of toxicity in the herbicides that city officials have talked about using. But theres still a level of toxicity, and any level in my opinion is too much, Weaver said.

How does 2,4-D work?

Risk vs. benefit

Downie has been educating herself about pesticide use for a decade. She began to study the issue when her teenage son was 3 and his in-home daycare provider was going to spray her yard. I thought, Why would you do that when you have little children at your house? she recalls. I talked to the woman about it, and she really wasnt aware that there was any health risk at all. So that started me thinking that a lot of people just must not realize this. And so I started researching then. Ive been involved with a healthy lawn team in Madison and Ive given talks on the subject, including nontoxic household cleaning. As nurses, Downie and Weaver have seen the increase of illness and disease and are convinced that toxins in the environment are contributing to the problems. They note that the Environmental Protection Agency has admitted as much, even though it has approved the use of something like 80,000 chemicals based on a risk/ benefit ratio. What they are saying is that the risk is small, so it is outweighed by the benefit, Downie explained. Doctors and scientists who disagree are asserting that the risks are still there and that there are many studies that associate herbicides with long-term serious health problems and environmental pollution. She said the EPA relies heavily on the chemical industrys own studies and typically tests each ingredient in isolation, which ignores the synergistic effects that chemicals can have when combined in a real-world environment.

How might I be exposed to 2,4-D?

Source: The National Pesticide Information Center

Doug Soldat, a UW-Madison turf grass and urban soil specialist, said there are definite health concerns associated with pesticides and herbicides, but they are the only effective way he knows of eradicating weeds such as crabgrass once theyre established. He pointed out that there are whole political jurisdictions, including Canadian provinces such as Ontario, that prohibit the use of such chemicals entirely. After last weeks council meeting, Ald. Greg Jenson (Dist. 3) said he supports the local activists and has always opposed herbicide applications in parks. Bu t w hi le A ld . T om Majewski (Dist. 3) considers himself an environmentalist and said he would love to find a way to manage the citys weeds problem without applying chemicals, he doesnt think thats possible. I understand the concern and I dont want to see anybody get exposed to toxins, he said. On the other hand, if its done safely and applied in the right concentrations by a licensed commercial applicator, its a reasonable thing. The biggest problem we

have in this country is over application of pesticides and herbicides and fertilizers, he added. You know, if a little helps then more is better.

Seeking compromise
Though Downie, Weaver and Lawrence are alarmed that people would use chemicals for weed control, they also recognize the citys interests. Our group recognizes that in certain, limited circumstances, minimal herbicide use may be useful within the larger context of having an overall long-term plan to promote sustainable turf management practices that enhance soil biology, Downie wrote in an email. In this scenario, herbicides are considered as a last resort. What we are seeking is that the city adopt such a long-term plan, and we have a group of citizens who are mobilizing to help through volunteer efforts like weeding events and educational opportunities. Weaver thinks the assertion that baseball, football and soccer players are at greater risk of injury because of weedy fields is overblown. Shed like to see some data to support the claim.

But Ald. Eric Olstad (Dist. 4) thinks the issue goes beyond athletics and sends a message to visitors about the city as a whole. When I look at the data that (Parks and Recreation director) Tom Lynch has from thousands of members of the community and their feedback on different surveys theyve taken, the quality of parks rises right to the top of that list, Olstad said. I extrapolate that into growth and into how do we attract people to Stoughton? When you go to Oregon and you have a beautiful ball field and you come to Stoughton and its a little bit of a black eye, which town might you consider moving to? Majewski acknowledges that weeds like crabgrass, creeping Charlie and, yes, dandelions, have gotten out of control. Weve had a build up of critical mass, he said. And he is sympathetic to the concerns of sports groups and property owners who live next to parks and are, for part of the year, in a constant battle to keep weeds out of their lawns All you have to do is take a walk in a park to see the problem, he said. People pamper their lawns, but that doesnt happen in the parks. Ald. Suess, who introduced the issue at last weeks Public Works meeting, agrees there may be a middle way and believes in compromise. I definitely support what theyre trying to accomplish and I certainly would like to see an integrated pest management program put into place, she said. I dont know if theres enough time to make that happen this year. She said it may come down to a vote of the Common Council or it may be some sort of a compromise where its sprayed in certain places and not others. Olstad said he offered a compromise at last weeks meeting that involved treating athletic fields and high visibility parks but possibly not using herbicides in small neighborhood parks. He said Naturally Stoughtons idea of applying only organic methods for weed control would cost too much. My hope is that we move forward at this point, he said. Suess thinks everybody would prefer if we didnt have to use an herbicide, but she recognizes that might not be an option. The city hasnt sprayed for several years and now its to a point where some folks think its time to do it, she said. I understand that position, but like I said, it would be wonderful if we could find an alternative. I also understand the city needing for those fields to be attractive and safe for the athletes.

those with Alzheimers and other dementias. That care is valued at $216.4 billion, which is more than eight times the total sales of McDonalds in 2011. Eighty percent of care provided in the community is provided by unpaid caregivers. The Association also shares that more than 60 percent of Alzheimers and dementia caregivers rate the emotional stress of caregiving as high or very high; more than one-third report symptoms of depression. Due to the physical and emotional toll of caregiving, Alzheimers and dementia caregivers had $9.1 billion in additional health care costs of their own in 2012. In the Stoughton community, we are lucky to have a business that can step in and help. Inspired Adult Day Services, offers the necessary break for the caregiver by providing a social model for the elderly and those individuals with Alzheimers. Sherri Barrett & Tammy Hudson had their Aha moment a little over three years ago. Both had worked together in the assisted living community. They have seen so many families go through the entire process of losing a loved one gradually, either through natural aging process or due to Alzheimers. Tammy had even experienced the gamut of emotions by watching her own stepfather gradually disappear with the disease. One day, while on the phone, a dream was born. Sherri and Tammy knew that there was such a need for a respite for the constant caregiver. Stoughton would prove to a great place to realize that dream.

Sherri Barrett (left) and Tammy Hudson (right) realized their dream of providing respite care in Stoughton.

Every 69 seconds, someone develops Alzheimers. This means that today, alone, more than 5 million Americans have the disease. We are never ready. Whether it is a loved one, a close friend, or an acquaintance, this stranger grabs hold of the person and slowly takes that individual away from us. Often times the Alzheimer patient will stay with family on a permanent basis. The family-the spouse or son or daughter becomes the caregiver. No matter how efficient and great the care received, the new role can be tiring and daunting at times. The caregiver simply needs a break. According to information provided by the Alzheimers Association, in 2012, 15.4 million family and friends provided 17.5 billion hours of unpaid care to

The group is involved in many activities throughout the day.

Inspired Adult Day Services provides a place for the loved one to stay while giving the caregiver some free time to rest or take care of errands. The team offers lunch and various activities as well as monthly parties and even entertainment from time to time. The group goes on a field trip every now and then too. The technology of the younger generation has even proved a very useful tool at IADS. Thank God for You Tube Tammy exclaimed. One rainy day, a discussion of Dolly Parton came up. The next thing you know, we were surfing You Tube for her videos. The group then got into singing her and other artists songs It was a hoot, because then everyone started to reminisce.

Tammy smiled, This job can be challenging at times, but those smiles and laughs are the rewards that make up for the challenges. This social community is just not for Alzheimers patients, it is for the elderly as well. Although Sherri and Tammy specialize in Alzheimers, they do have knowledge in other elderly diseases too, such as Parkinsons. How does the process work? Can you just drop-in? The pair asks that you give them at least 24hours notice. The first day for a new member will be an assessment and will be free of charge. Assessment and fees for post visits would be discussed upon pick up. There is a minimum stay of 5 hours per stay. The center is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30am to 5:30pm.

to press Tuesday night. The Vikings are set to travel to Milton on Thursday. It has been a challenge being inside for us but on the other hand its been very effective in overall team building and camaraderie, first-year Vikings head softball coach Steve Bahrke said. I am able to witness and assess overall skill level up close on everyone and am very happy with that. Adapting and learning to make adjustments and stay the course on the fundamentals has been the key,

High school baseball and softball teams commonly spend the first weeks of practice indoors. But theres something different about this year. A year ago, the Vikings baseball team enjoyed May-like weather in March, during an unseasonably warm spell that included record high temperatures and let many Wisconsin teams hold outdoor workouts a bit earlier than usual.

This spring has been far from the 80-degree temperatures the state experienced last March, instead having highs in the 30s and 40s. It has all left the Vikings shuffling the deck, Stoughton athletic director Mel Dow said. This has all been with practices and games piling up on each other. Stoughton softball rescheduled Mondays game at Monroes Twining Park to April 8. Tuesdays game against Monona Grove was also postponed, though no makeup date had been selected as the Hub went

Bahrke said. Despite being his first year in charge of the program, Bahrke has the benefit of being familiar with his team having seen them last year as an assistant and over the summer since he regularly coached softball games during the offseason. I am always looking to encourage the best from every player, whether it be a constant starter, utility player, pinch/courtesy runner or a designated player/flex, Bahrke said. It takes a team to win. Stoughton baseball postponed

Tuesdays game at Monona Grove and will host Madison Memorial at 11 a.m. Saturday. The Vikings boys varsity tennis team is set to scrimmage Madison La Follette on Thursday.

Hale

Stoughton graduate Justin Hale recently answered a questionnaire for the Courier Hub about his journey to the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point. Here are his answers: CH You played two seasons with the Northern Lights (Minnesota Junior Hockey League) before college. What was the road like for you to get to Point? JH The road to UW-Stevens Point was definitely one of perseverance. Going through the junior process there were definitely a fair share of teams that said no, or cut me, which made it all the more gratifying when I made it here. CH Did you give yourself any kind of timeline to potentially earn a shot at playing collegiate hockey? JH There was definitely a timeline. Going all the way back to my sophomore year in high school when I sat down with my parents and also mentor Troy Word, who I had done private lessons with and was an assistant coach at UW-Madison at the time. We talked about a five-year plan. It was a matter of finishing my last two years of high school, improving my game, planning on two to three years of juniors and then, hopefully, having an end result of playing college hockey. CH Did you have other options besides Stevens Point? If so, why did you chose to become a Pointer? JH At the time the choice was to go and play my final year (eligibility-wise) of juniors or go to school and play for Stevens Point. For me, it was a no-brainer. UW-Stevens Point has such a storied tradition of winning over the years, as well as being known to play in one of the top conferences in the country. Overall, I just thought it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. CH Your team finished 15-11-1 to finish the year with 20 points in the d3hockey. com poll. How do you see the team faring next season? JH It was most certainly a grind this season playing such high caliber teams from start to finish, and is a great honor to have received votes in both end-of-the-year rankings. Next season, there is no reason why we cant contend for a national title. Although we lost a great group of seniors, our core

Sophomore Hannah Posick reached 10 feet to claim first place Saturday at the Racine Invitational at the Frank Petretti Fieldhouse at the University of Wisconsin- Parkside. Posicks height is tied for seventh in the state during the indoor season, and it is the best she has done this year. Posick also tied for eighth place in the high jump (4-10). Junior Maren Schultz tied for fifth in the high jump, also reaching 4-10 but in fewer attempts. Stoughton also took second in the 4x800-meter relay. Sophomore Katie Roe, senior Devan Montgomery, junior Ashley Harnack and junior Katherine Rude finished in a time of 10 minutes, 47.18 seconds. Franklin (junior Monica Sweet, junior Katie Carlino, freshman Jensen Ritzow and senior Michelle Fedran) won the race in 10:33.51. Harnack also took fifth in the 1600-meter run with a time of 5:57.47. Senior Haley Houser also had a top-three finish with a distance of 33-7 in the shot put. Racine Horlick senior Chyenne LeNeair won the event in 37-10,

while Oak Creek junior Stephanie Kostowicz took second (35-3 3/4). Junior Hannah Sonsalla finished the scoring with a fourth-place finish in the 400-meter dash. She reached the finish line in 1:05.05. The Vikings took fifth overall with 40 points. Kenosha Tremper took first with 72 points, while South Milwaukee (59) and Franklin (53) took second and third, respectively. The girls finish the indoor season Saturday at UW-Whitewaters Kachel Fieldhouse for the W/TFA meet. They then begin the outdoor season at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, for the Badger Challenge at Portage High School.

Madison West Relays

The boys split from the girls Saturday to compete in the 76th annual Madison West Relays Invitational at the University of Wisconsin- Madison Fieldhouse. Junior Luke Logan had the highest finish.

Continued from page 10 guys will return with another season under our belts and more experience. CH You were named to the All-Academic Team. While youre playing hockey at Point, you are there first as a student. What did that honor mean to you? JH Being named to the All-Academic Team was a tremendous honor. Growing up, my parents always made it clear that if I didnt do well in school, then I wouldnt be allowed to play sports. That has always stuck with me. And then to have our head coach Chris Brooks preaching about being a champion both on-and -off the ice, it continues to drive home the message. CH Besides hockey, are you involved in any other clubs or organizations on campus? JH At the moment I am not a part of any clubs or organization here at the University. But I am volunteering my time and helping coach a Stevens Point youth team this spring and helping out with a few other hockey camps over the summer with my coach Chris Brooks. CH You recorded one assist in 16 games this season. Do you expect to get more ice time next season? JH In my first two seasons, I have had steady improvement.Freshman year, I played in 16 contests, and this past season, I was able to play in 21 games. I definitely expect more ice time this upcoming season, but I also know, for that to happen, I must continue to work hard day in and day out.

The boys indoor season is over with the Badger Challenge at 4:30 p.m. April 9 at Portage High School next on the schedule. It makes for a challenging spring on a lot of different issues,the first being finding dates for make-up games Dow said. From there, the Vikings baseball teams pitching strength will inevitably be tested for games that are certain to be doubleheaders or lumped together into challenging multiple-game weeks. Lighting for some of those doubleheaders, transportation with having to leave early and school bus routes are also concerns, as are altered training schedules for track, invites for tennis, golf and track lost or teams missing due to date changes. The list can go on and on, but we are all in the same boat and will make the best of the situation, Dow said.Welcome to Wisconsin.

Sheriffs office warns of thin ice on county lakes

The Dane County Sheriffs Office is warning the public, especially ice fishermen, that the return of warm weather has drastically reduced the ice thickness and stability of county lakes. The county sent out a news release warning about potentially unsafe ice conditions last week after responding to three different incidents where ice anglers fell through the ice of county lakes. Those individuals were all safely removed without incident, the sheriffs office said. The office is now reminding anglers to stay away from icy areas where current or flowage may be present. Mouths of creeks, rivers, and natural springs all create small currents that resist ice accumulation, even under perfect conditions. With the warm weather, these areas are often the most dangerous and have the thinnest foundations of ice present, yet appear to be indistinguishable from those thicker areas of ice around it, the sheriffs office said in a news release. For those that do want to go out onto one of the area lakes, the county recommends bringing appropriate flotation and life saving devices present, such as ice picks and life preservers.

Warm weather could temporarily shut down some county parks

Dane County is advising that some county parks might be closed over the next few weeks due the warmer weather. The increase in temperatures that began last week will start to draw out ground frost, making parklands and some facilities vulnerable to damage due to the soft ground. Vehicular traffic and pedestrian use could damage roadways, turf areas and trail surfaces under those conditions and may require some parks to be closed to the public temporarily, Dane County Parks director Darren Marsh said in a news release. Marsh has requested that park patrons stay on surfaced pathways and roads. If we can reduce the damage at this time of year, it reduces our maintenance costs and allows us to provide better services through the rest of the year, he said in the news release. After a few spring rains and drying winds the ground will firm up and parks will be re-opened, the release went on. Some parks also might be temporarily closed for controlled burning once the snow melts. The burning helps preserve and restore grassland and woodland habitat. If patrons have questions regarding a closed park or facility, they should contact the Dane County Parks Office at 224-3730 or visit countyofdane.com/lwrd/ parks.
