Tiger Lily Seeds
Disabled entrepreneur thriving along
with her business
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group
After three years, Brittany Romines Tiger Lily
Seeds business is blooming and booming.
At its Sept. 23 meeting, the Common Council
unanimously authorized the city to renew Romines
license to use city property for her business plant-
ing and growing native wetland plants, and later
harvesting their seeds to sell to nurseries and other
outlets.
Romine is a 2011 graduate of Stoughton High
Schools transition program. The year she graduat-
ed, Brittany started the business with the help of her
mom, Andrea, and support from a host of nonprofit
The Suite Life
Stoughtonites luxury website pulls back the velvet rope
KATHRYN CHEW
Hub Correspondent
Imagine getting paid to
go on vacation, gaze at
the ocean from a private
beach bungalow in Hual-
alai, Hawaii or indulge in
complimentary in-room
fresh-baked cookies and
chocolate milk in a Four
Seas on s New Yor k
suite.
For long-time Stough-
ton resident Christopher
Parr, this is not a fantasy;
this is reality.
Parr i s t he founder
of Pursuitist, a popular
luxury travel blog that
focuses on the pursuit of
great things in life and
brands itself as luxury
redefined.
Wi t h art i cl es hi gh-
lighting Le Dolci Bak-
erys $900 cupcake, spas
in the French Alps and
24-carat gold iPhones,
the New York Times has
described the site as the
country club come to the
Internet and the Yelp
for the upper class.
Targeting affluent con-
sumers, Pursuitist has
become an online haven
for all that is luxurious
and self-indulgent these
days.
One of the perks of
operating a travel blog is,
of course, the paid hotel

MillFab shuts doors
Wood product plant closes amid
financial distress
MARK IGNATOWSKI
Stoughtons economy suffered a blow late last
month as MillFab/Holley Mouldings, Inc. ceased
operations at its Stoughton manufacturing facility.
A note posted on the company gate on East South
Street said Water Tower Capital group of Chicago
had taken receivership of the company in September
and that the Chicago-based firm had decided to stop
production Sept. 24.
MillFab had operated as a lumber processing com-
pany since the 1970s, but online court records show
recent financial instability.
MillFab was purchased in 2002 by Holley

Andrea Romine spoke
at the council meeting and
delivered a slide presenta-
tion of Brittanys accom-
plishments.
She s ai d Ti ger Li l y
Seeds had $125 of income
in 2012, $923 in 2013 and
$2,600 so far this year.
Brittany has grown more
than 3,000 plants, and 20
different varieties, whose
seeds she harvests and sells,
Andrea said.
She grows and maintains
the wildflower plants on
a strip of city-owned land
between the Elven Sted
housing development on
Dunkirk Avenue and the
Yahara River. There, Brit-
tany and her assistant, Dan
Moriarity, spent the spring
and summer tending to their
quarter-acre rain garden
watering, replanting as
necessary and putting down
mulch in hopes the tender
plants would take root and
thrive.
Du r i n g t h e wi n t e r
mont hs , t hey l l wor k
together cleaning seeds and
preparing them for sale.
Troubled past
Andrea Romine adopt-
ed Brittany when she was
young and said Brittany
comes from Milwaukee and
a troubled past. At birth, she
was diagnosed with Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome, and she
suffers from other develop-
mental disorders. But edu-
cators at Stoughton High
School also recognized her
talents, which included an
affinity for growing things
and an ability to be very
focused in her work.
When a Madison-based
or ga ni z a t i on, Movi n
Out Inc., used the City of
Stoughtons tax-increment
financing mechanism to
build the Elven Sted hous-
i ng devel opment , t he
nonprofits executive direc-
tor, Howard Mandeville,
got to thinking about the
ret ent i on di t ches at t he
property. The ditches are
used to capture stormwa-
ter runoff before it flows
into the river, and Mandev-
ille had the idea of turn-
ing those depressions into
rain gardens so that Elven
Sted residents would have
something nice to see in
their backyards.
In a 2011 Courier Hub
article, Mandeville said
he planned the Elven Sted
development with the idea
of planting wetland-prairie
seeds and plants that would
grow there and contribute
to the function of catching
and purifying stormwater
before it goes into the riv-
er.
As he l ear ned mor e
about the stock of wild-
flowers that can be planted
in rain gardens, Mandeville
discovered there could be
an opport uni t y t o pl ant
high-value seeds and plugs
that would grow to become
pret t y wi l dfl owers and
yield more valuable seeds.
They have to be har-
vested by hand and arent
suited to mechanical har-
vesting, and the market
for t hose seeds has t he
price pretty high, he told
t he Hub i n 2011. We
started thinking were not
in the seed business, but
wouldnt it be neat if there
were somebody who could
build a little enterprise
around that.
He contacted Stoughton
High School, and thats
how he found someone to
operate his business idea.
Brittany thrives as
business grows
Brittany has thrived in
the past three years, her
mother said.
At the same time that
shes growing and harvest-
ing her plant seeds, Brittany
has also created habitat for
wildlife along the Yahara
River.
In her slide presentation,
Andrea showed a photo of a
tiny snapping turtle emerg-
ing from its nest along the
riverbank. Another slide
depicts Brittany holding the
baby turtle.
Andrea, Bri t t any and
Dan Moriarity have also
seen painted turtles, soft
shell turtles and even musk
turtles which have been
listed as a threatened spe-
cies in parts of the Midwest
and Canada.
The experi ence over-
al l has hel ped Bri t t any
to mature so much and
become more open and
confident, Andrea said.
That, to me, is the icing on
this cake. The fact that this
business is actually helping
her grow with her plants. I
cant ask for more.

City of Stoughton
Feedback sought on parks plan
MARK IGNATOWSKI
The city is in the midst of
updating its park plan for the
next five years and is look-
ing for residents feedback
to help shape future needs
for outdoor spaces.
A draft of the plan is
available online, parks and
recreation director Tom
Lynch said, and feedback
can be done through an
online survey. If a face-to-
face feedback is preferred, a
public hearing on the plan is
slated for later this month.
Lynch has been updat-
ing the citys plan so that
the department and city can
continue to be eligible for
state and federal grants. The
plan needs to be updated at
least every five years for
some grants.
Not much has changed in
the past few years, Lynch
said, so the plan is relatively
unchanged, as well.
With little residential
growth, the need for more
park space has been low.
But the city is still looking
at six sites for future park
expansion:
Linnerud Property Park:
This parkland will be avail-
able when the Linnerud
property on the north side is
developed. This park will be
developed as a gateway into
the city and house recreation-
al fields.
Ehle Property Park: This
property along the Yahara
River has been in the plan-
ning stages for a while. If the
development occurs, there
will be trail connections to the
north and west.
Stone Crest: The next
phase of this development
will provide parkland for soc-
cer and baseball.
Nordic Ridge: This new
neighborhood park is part of
a development that should get
started in the next five years.
The area is south of Milwau-
kee Street on the far West
side.
Kettle Park West: Located
between Hwy. 51 and Hwy.
138, this development will
begin as a business site with
future residential lots and a
neighborhood park.
Racetrack Park Expan-
sion: The 2008 POSP sug-
gested the City of Stoughton
should pursue the acquisition
and development of a new
athletic field/community park
on the west side of Stoughton.
The priority should be shifted
to acquiring the land directly
west of Racetrack Park, cur-
rently owned by the Harvey
family. This would allow
significant expansion of ath-
letic fields while sharing the
amenities currently in Race-
track Park.
The plan also includes pos-
sible trail extensions and con-
nections. Updated maps are
available for review.
The Stoughton Parks and
Recreation Committee will
hold a public hearing at 5 p.m.
Tuesday, Oct. 21, in the Ed
Overland Room in the lower
level of City Hall.

Dane County
Budget: road projects proposed
MARK IGNATOWSKI
Public works projects,
safety improvements and
human services continue to
top the list of county bud-
get priorities for this coming
year.
Dane Count y execu-
tive Joe Parisi released his
2015 executive budget last
Wednesday, with an empha-
sis on communication sys-
tems, road projects, person-
nel costs and county lands
and lakes.
His proposed budget will
be reviewed by county com-
mittees and eventually the
full County Board. The bud-
get is usually adopted by
Thanksgiving, with discus-
sions slated for this month.
Locally, specific projects
include additional money for
road projects and recreation
improvements.
The proposed budget
includes:
An additional $1.5 mil-
lion for the first phase of the
Lower Yahara Trail
$35,000 for the County
Hwy. AB Yahara River
bridge design project in the
Town of Dunn
$150,000 for the County
Hwy. N Riley bridge design
project in the Town of
Dunkirk
Taxpayer impact
The proposed operating
budget includes a $6 mil-
lion levy increase to bring
the total to around $530
million for 2015. Parisi said
this increase falls within the
state-imposed limits with a
4.07 percent increase.
The county is working
with a $509 million operat-
ing budget this year. Parisi
said it would cost the county
about $3.5 million to main-
tain the same level of service
as this year.
In preparing the budget,
Parisi instructed department
heads to only propose new
spending if the funding came
from new revenue, through
new partnerships or by real-
locating existing dollars to
reduce the need for taxpayer
dollars, Parisi said in a news
release.
Parisi said the countys
portion of a homeowners
property tax bill accounts
for about 15 percent of the
total. The projected tax
rate $3.118 will rise by
about 1 cent per $100,000
in assessed value compared
with last year, but an increase
in assessed values means
taxpayers will pay slightly
more. Actual tax rates vary
by municipality due to differ-
ent assessment calculations
and special levies for librar-
ies or public health initia-
tives.
The county executive has
proposed a smaller capital
budget for 2015 $39 mil-
lion compared to last years
$44.7 million.

The citys 2014 Parks and Open Space Plan is ready for public comment and review. The plan calls
for six park expansions or new sites, as well as trails connecting to existing facilities. The citys park
commission will hold a public hearing Oct. 21.

Joint action keeps local utility strong
S
toughton is one of 2,000
communities nationwide
that has its own electric
utility, owned by the community
and managed by the Stoughton
Utilities Committee and the
Stoughton Common Council.
Nation-
wide, these
utilities vary
in size from
smaller than
Stoughton
to utilities in
cities as large
as Nashville,
Tennessee,
Huntsville,
Alabama, and
Los Angeles, California.
Why does this matter? As a
public power community, we
benefit from reliable service and
reasonable rates. The employees
of Stoughton Utilities provide
prompt, hometown service.
Equally important is the utilitys
not-for-profit status. The revenue
generated by our utility stays
within the communitys control,
contributing to job creation and
supporting the local economy.
Dollars are re-invested in needed
local electric infrastructure and
service to our customers.
In addition, Stoughton Utili-
ties has been a member of WPPI
Energy since 2003. By joining
the organization, we joined forc-
es with 50 other locally owned
utilities in Wisconsin, Upper
Michigan and Iowa. By working
together through WPPI Energy
known as a joint action agency
our community has:
A reliable power provider
that strives to keep electricity
costs lower over the long term,
which is possible in part to WPPI
Energys ownership stake in
power generation facilities and
transmission assets. This year,
the American Public Power
Association recognized Stough-
ton Utilities as one of 31 munic-
ipally-owned utilities nationally
for achieving the prestigious RP3
Diamond Award for providing
safe reliable power to its neigh-
bors. Stoughton Utilities had
been previously honored with the
RP3 Platinum designation since
back in 2006 when the program
was initiated.
A commitment to sustainabil-
ity, as 13 percent of our power
supply comes from renewable
resources.
Access to joint purchasing,
shared technologies, programs
and services to better serve resi-
dents and keep our businesses
competitive. In 2013, our utility
helped customers reduce energy
usage by 1.54 megawatt-hours,
equivalent to the average energy
usage of 150 homes in the Upper
Midwest. These efforts saved
homes and businesses $170,000
in energy costs in just one year.
A seat at the table with regu-
lators and policymakers so we
can better advocate for rules and
legislation that protect custom-
ers. In 2013, we encouraged
state legislators to enact a new
Wisconsin law that preserves
the privacy of municipal utility
customers. At the national level,
we are actively working to pre-
serve tax-exempt financing for
all of our communities. Well be
just as active to ensure that the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agencys new greenhouse gas
rules do not adversely affect our
customers.
For local governments, finding
efficiencies remains as important
as ever. During National Pub-
lic Power Week, October 5-11,
Stoughton will commemorate
123 years as a public power
community.
Its a decision that has paid
many dividends over the
decades. Each year we celebrate
our joint action partnership with
other utilities through WPPI
Energy, which gives us the need-
ed resources to keep our city up
and running every day. This year
we held an open house on Oct. 7
at the Stoughton Utilities office,
and have previously held Public
Power Walks at local parks, pool
parties at Troll Beach in Mandt
Park, and facility tours in past
years.
Donna Olson is the mayor of
Stoughton.

Letters to the editor
KPW development needed to attract families to our community
I agree totally with the letter
Bert Lohr submitted to the Hub
last week regarding Stoughtons
need for the KPW development
to attract more families to the
area.
I, too, commend the mayor,
the city administration and the

KPW will only hurt downtown more
I have some very serious con-
cerns about the impact that a Ket-
tle Park West development would
have on the City of Stoughton.
I would like to see a city that
supports local merchants and
locally owned business.The eco-
nomic impact analysis concludes
that the development will drain
spending from the downtown and
move it to Wal-Mart.
I would like to see a city that has
a vibrant and walkable downtown
district and minimal sprawl.Mov-
ing spending from local down-
town business to Wal-Mart at the
edge of town will leave a sprawl-
ing ring of commerce around a
struggling downtown.
supports creation of jobs that earn
a living wage. While the devel-
opment might bring jobs to the
area, they are of such low wages
that full time workers still need
enormous public assistance in
order to make ends meet (Forbes
4/15/2014).Lets not support this
kind of job.
invests tax dollars and tax oppor-
tunities in ways that supports our
downtown, schools and infrastruc-
ture rather than a multi-billion
dollar international corporation.
If t he Ket t l e Park West i s
passed, there will be some win-
ners, but they will not be the vast
majority of us who are in Stough-
ton now.
And I bel i eve St ought ons
future will be diminished.It sad-
dens me greatly that outside mon-
ey can speak so strongly in my
hometown, rather than values that
support who we are and the won-
derful things we can offer, with
our local talent and resources.

The Walton family, according
to a recent estimation, is worth
$148.6 Billion. Billion.
Why on earth should the city
of Stoughton spend one red cent
of our tax money on a tax incre-
mental district to augment those
already obscene riches?
Would someone help me out
with this?

as part of their 40th anni-
versary tour.
Singer-songwriters Noah
Gunderson and Willie Wat-
son round out the months
performances, appearing on
Thursday, Oct. 24 and Fri-
day, Oct. 24, respectively.
Ruth Moody Band
7:30 p.m., Oct. 10
Tickets: $25 reserved
Rut h Moody i s best -
known as a member of
the Wailin Jennys acous-
tic trio, but in 2010 she
r el eased her f i r st sol o
al bum, The Gar den.
She formed a band to tour
in support of the album,
including an appearance at
the Opera House. Last year
Moody released her sopho-
more solo album, These
Wilder Things.
The collection includes
performances by her tour-
ing band Adam Dobres
(guitars), Adrian Dolan
(fiddle, mandolin, accordi-
on), Sam Howard (upright
bass) and her brother Rich-
ard Moody (viola). Also
contributing to the album,
as special guests, are Mark
Knopf l er , Jer r y Doug-
las, Crooked Stills Aoife
ODonovan, The Wailin
Jennys and noted Celtic
players Mike McGoldrick
and John McCusker.
Moodys clear soprano
rings out on intimate songs
that have been called time-
less, universal and excep-
tionally well-crafted.
Joan Osborne
7:30 p.m., Oct. 11
Pop, r ock, s oul and
R&B singer Joan Osborne
stepped into the national
spotlight with the 1995
r el ease of her second
album, Relish, which
included the hit single One
of Us. But the event that
set Osborne apart as a truly
singular and soulful vocal-
ist was her work with the
Funk Brothers, the original
backing band on most of
the Motown Records hits of
the 1960s and 70s.
Osborne was featured in
the 2002 documentary film,
Standing in the Shadows of
Motown, and toured with
the Funk Brothers.
In demonstrations of her
versatility, she has also per-
formed with former mem-
bers of the Grateful Dead,
appeared on the Grand Ole
Opry, released two albums
covering soul hits of the
past, and performed at one
of the countrys top blue-
grass festivals, Merlefest.
In 2012 Osborne released
Bring It On Home, a col-
lection of vintage blues and
soul covers that received
a 2013 Grammy Awards
nomination for Best Blues
Album.
Her latest album, Love
and Hate, is her ninth and
was released in April. It
features Osborne as a song-
writer in addition to a sing-
er. The recording captures
Osbornes voice in arrange-
ments that include the full
spectrum of styles that
shes mastered and has been
described as poignant for
its range of emotion.
Osborne will perform
Saturday without a back-
ing band, but as a duo. On
stage, she delivers R&B
and soul in a way that very
few singers can or ever
have.
Todd Snider
7:30 p.m., Oct. 14.
Singer-songwriter Todd
Snider is known for being
creative, ironic, irreverent,
quirky and extremely enter-
taining. Hes also a gifted
storyteller who inhabits
the characters he creates in
song. Snider is equally at
home performing Ameri-
cana, folk and alt-country
and typically doing it with-
out shoes on his feet.
Snider is also about as
clever a wordsmith and wry
commentator on the human
condition as youll ever
find, in the same league
with the songwriters he
most appreciates John
Prine and Randy Newman.
And he is completely
unpretentious, choosing to
convey ideas in ways that
are deceptively simple and
down-to-earth. His show
next Tuesday could be a
complete revelation or, at
the least, just a very good
time.
Pieta Brown
7:30 p.m., Oct. 17.
Growing up the daughter
of a master American-roots
musician might seem like
an enormous advantage for
an aspiring recording artist.
And Pieta Brown, whose
father is the singer-song-
writer Greg Brown, says
she has benefited from her
dads talent and fame. But
success in the performing
arts world was never guar-
anteed.
There were definitely a
lot of hard times, growing
up in the lifestyle I had,
Brown said in a telephone
interview from her home in
Iowa a few years ago. The
thing about my dad is that
he always stayed very true
to his muse and his artistic
pursuits. He was very inde-
pendent and never tried to
sound like anybody else,
and that always inspired me
to try to do that in my own
way.
Brown said she was about
17 when she learned to play
guitar. She recalled admir-
ing her dads 1930s May-
belle guitar, and how his
guitars used to terrify her.
But I picked up this
one and started playing the
few chords I knew, and I
just kind of took to it, she
remembered. I asked him
if I could borrow it, and I
got obsessed. I feel like that
guitar taught me how to
play.
Sur pr i s i ngl y, Br own
said she didnt learn music
from her father. We never
sat around making music
together, she revealed.
Theres none of t hose
Hallmark moments in my
life.
But after I started writ-
ing songs, sometimes Id
play him a few, because I
can read him easily and I
respect him a lot. I think the
first time I ever played him
some songs, he cried.
That s a pret t y rare
occurrence, but musics
strong, she continued. Its
a very healing thing. And
then I thought, this might
be worth trying to do.
Brown, who said shes
al ways been s t r ongl y
drawn to country blues,
has released five original
albums since her debut in
2002.
Sweet Honey
in the Rock
7:30 p.m., Oct. 22.
The six women who com-
prise Sweet Honey in the
Rock combine power, grace
and commitment in their
singular a cappella style.
But their recorded music,
as sweet and compelling as
it is, doesnt compare to the
power of their live perfor-
mances a quintessential
mix of art and politics.
The group, founded by
Bernice Johnson Reagon
in 1973, emerged from the
energy of the civil rights
movement . Reagon had
been intricately involved
in civil rights activism as
a student in the early 60s,
and meshed those influenc-
es with the church-based
singing she had experi-
enced growing up.
While spirituals, hymns
and gospel music are at
the core of Sweet Honeys
music, it also incorporates
elements of jazz, blues, rap
and songs from the African
diaspora.
Th e g r o u p s s o n g s
express an imperative for
justice and equality while
denouncing racism, oppres-
sion, greed and material-
ism. But more than any-
t hi ng, t hei r musi c i s a
beautiful, lush sound full
of intricate harmonies and
arrangements.

Having Faith
The injunction to have faith seems
to suggest that we must do something
in order to have faith, or that faith is
something we can possess. But, in real-
ity, having faith is sometimes simply a
matter of letting go of our skepticism
or unbelief. In this sense, having faith
is not so much something we do, but
something we let happen. When you
see the work of God manifesting itself
in your life, allow yourself to believe that
this is God at work in you. Sometimes
we just need to have the simple faith of
a child and believe what is before our
eyes. This doesnt mean we have to
completely throw our rational mind over-
board. There is a time and a place for
science and skepticism, but science and
skepticism are simply tools that should
be used when they are needed. Having
faith is more like the pervasive sense
that we are surrounded by Gods lov-
ing presence. We are surrounded by air
whether we believe it or not and in the
same way we are surrounded by Gods
presence, whether we know or believe it,
and sometimes we just need to let that
awareness happen. Dont try to force it,
just let it be!
Christopher Simon via Metro News
Service
For we live by faith, not by sight.

decrease of around 25 per-

Our trend kind of con-

smaller than our exiting
senior classes, Pickett
said.
One of the largest rea-
sons, she sai d, i s t he

ci t ed census dat a t hat
showed a 5- 6 per cent

from 2000 to 2010.
That is a data point that
supports what weve been
seeing here the past cou-
ple years, Pickett said.
District superintendent
Ti m Onsager sai d t he
demographic change has
affected not just schools,
but the community as a
whole.
Sunday school classes,
confirmation classes are
down, he said. Some of
our youth sports leagues
are seeing decreased num-

Theres less kids in the
community.
River Bluff water
issues
Onsager updat ed t he
board on the water situa-
tion at River Bluff Middle
School , wher e dr i nk-
i ng wat er was shut off
Sept. 30 after test results
showed elevated levels of
lead in the building.
Onsager said results of
water tests taken provided
to the district earlier in
the day at the school came
back positive for elevated
levels (more than 15 parts
per billion) of lead in two
or four areas sampled.
Two spots in the build-
ing were below recom-
mended safety levels of
lead, while one spot in
the building and the water
line coming into to the
building came in slightly
higher.
He said students will
continue to receive bot-
tled water and be able to
use portable water cool-
ers for dri nki ng wat er
until the issue is resolved.
Onsager said the district
will conduct more tests,
wi t h anot her round of
results due back later this
week.
We r e t aki ng baby
steps, he said. Were
not going to turn on the
wat er unt i l were con-
fident that all the tests
come back below what is
recommended. Well con-
tinue to monitor the situ-
ation.
Pi cket t sai d t he di s-
trict is collaborating on
the issue with Stoughton
Utilities.
If we do find that there
continue to be concerns,
well have to really work
with Stoughton Utilities
t o f i nd out what t hat
means because they are
our water providers, and
I would think there would
be some responsibility on
their end to help us make
weve got suitable drink-
ing water, she said. It
takes some time to get
resul t s back. That wi l l
help us determine what
we need to do.
Onsager said drinking
wat er i n every di st ri ct
building was tested last
week, and all came back
below recommended lead
limits except for River
Bluff.

Moudling Inc. owner John
Yonich. Holley Moulding
had operated in the state
of Washington since 1993
and expanded in Stoughton
around 2002. An affida-
vit from Yonich states that
Holley employed around
100 people and about 15
people worked for MillFab.
Yonich told attorneys that
those numbers fluctuate
depending on workload.
A 2013 civil case alleged
that MillFab/Holley Mould-
ing, Inc. and Yonich had
owed U. S. Bank nearly
$1 million. In December
2012, Holley had defaulted
on a loan that was agreed
on Dec. 4, 2007 and the
Stoughton property was
foreclosed, court records
show. Collateral of that
loan included the properties
at 433 E. South St.
Jim White Group, a lum-
ber manufacturing facil-
ity based in Michigan that
di d busi ness wi t h Hol -
ley Mouldings, filed suit
in February 2014 in Dane
County Circuit Court. Hol-
l ey/ Mi l l Fab had agreed
to make payments to Jim
White Group in exchange
for products, but those pay-
ments ceased before the
full amount was paid, court
documents show.
The case had originally
been filed in federal court
because of Yonichs busi-
nesses in the state of Wash-
ington, but was moved to
Dane County court because
bot h Mi l l Fab and Hol-
ley Mouldings operated in
Stoughton.
The Dai l y Wor l d, a
newspaper based in Grays
Harbor, Wash., reported
that two of Yonichs busi-
ness there a theater and
Aberdeen Eateries LLC
filed for Chapter 7 bank-
ruptcy last month.
On Sept . 11, Wat er
Tower Capital was named
receiver and granted author-
ity to sort of the financial
details of the company. As
of Friday, Oct. 3, attorneys
had agreed to transfer funds
from BMO Harris to a new
receiver account at Park
Bank in order to issue new
payroll checks to cover past
due wages and withhold-
ings, online court records
show. No further activity
was listed online and calls
to the Water Tower Capi-
tal were not returned as of
press time Tuesday.
Whi l e t he cl osi ng of
the plant is bad news for
employees and Stoughtons
economy, the site has been
eyed as a possible redevel-
opment area by the city.
City of Stoughton finance
director Laurie Sullivan said
the company had not been in
contact with the city about
in regards to the closing of
the plant. The citys tax-
increment financing district
No. 5 had taken a hit last
spring, due in part to the fact
that MillFab had changed
the way it filed tax returns,
Sullivan said. The company
had previously been pay-
ing taxes on manufacturing
equipment that was actu-
ally exempt. The new filing
method caused a drop in
TID value.
Sullivan said the tax fil-
ing change likely had no
impact on the plant closing.
The citys Redevelop-
ment Authority has been
approached, Sullivan said,
by a real estate agent looking
to sell the MillFab property,
a roughly 6.25-acre site that
borders the Yahara River.
Sullivan said the site is
attractive for redevelop-
ment but she added that the
city is not likely to buy the
site. The city does own the
former Highway Trailer
building adjacent to the
MillFab property and could
possibly work with a devel-
oper to reuse those sites
together.
Troubled past
MillFab had money
issues in 1980s
MillFab, Inc.s most
recent financial troubles
are not its first.
In the mid-1980s then-
president of the com-
pany Gary W. Homberg
was accused of embez-
zling $645,000 from the
company, a news release
f r om t he Wi s cons i n
Department of Revenue
shows.
Ho mb e r g h a d 4 8
counts of embezzlement
fi l ed agai nst hi m for
stealing from 1982-1986.
He also owed more than
$50,000 in back taxes to
the state.
Homberg had served
as MillFabs president
and was a 48 percent
stockholder in the com-
pany formerly owned by
Stoughton Trailers, the
state department of rev-
enue said.
Homberg had also been
convicted in 1989 of the
1983 murder of his wife,
Ruth Ann.
Homber g had been
sentenced to seven years
in prison for the embez-
zlement charges and is
serving a life sentence for
the murder conviction.

Building a dragon
SHS builds a giant prop for upcoming show
MORGAN SANDLER
Hub correspondent
Theres nothing to get your
attention quite like a 30-foot
dragon on stage. Thats all
part of the show, though,
for Stoughton Area High
Schools upcoming produc-
tion of Shrek the Musical.
To liven up the set, direc-
tor DeeDee Bouzek has been
working since August on a
30-foot-long puppet dragon
that stands six feet tall.
Its made out of foam,
while the body is made with
PVC pipes and parachute.
For the finishing touches,
Bouzek spray-painted the
whole dragon.
The dragon is not the only
puppet on set, however.
There is also a puppet for the
Gingy, the gingerbread man,
created by SASD student
Kyra Carbone.
The set is made to look
l i ke a l arge bookshel f,
designed by Amanda Potratz,
and throughout the play, the
books open up to reveal the
scenery. Projections will also
assist in creating the scenery.
For those not familiar with
the popular animated mov-
ies, Shrek the Musical is
about an ogre named Shrek
(played by Leo Endres) who
has lost his swamp to King
Farquaad (Thomas Green-
ler). To get his swamp back,
Shrek sets off on an adven-
ture to the save Princess
Fiona, (Bethany Kelly) from
the dragon (controlled by
Kirsten Nett). On his jour-
ney, he meets a character by
the name of Donkey, (Jack
Greenwood) and falls in love
with princess.
On their adventure, they
sing and dance to songs
such as Im a Believer and
Welcome to Duloc from
the movie, as well as songs
that were created for the play
such as Freak Flag and
Make a Move.
More information
The shows are sched-
uled for 7 p.m. Friday, Oct.
24 and Saturday, Oct. 25,
with a Sunday matinee on
Oct. 26 set for 2:30 p.m.

Conant Automotive Locally Owned & Celebrating
Its 8 Year Anniversary This Month!
October is a month of celebration at Conant Automo-
tive. It is celebrating its 8th year of being in business.
For some it seems like yesterday. But for many others,
Conant has made itself such a Stoughton mainstay, that
it seems like it helped establish the community. As Joe
Conant himself asks, Has it been 8 years? Wow!
Looking back, eight years may not seem too long
to have a business, but to Joe Conant, it is a lifetime
ago. It started in the spring of 2006, when the place I
was employed at, was to say simply, not working out.
A building on highway 51 that was Keehns Autobody
was up for sale and a lifelong dream was at my fin-
gertips. I had a new baby boy and I basically had 2
choices; I go to Madison and work at a new car dealer-
ship and join the rat race. Or I beg my wife to cash in
on our life savings to buy a building and start our own
auto repair business from scratch. You know what? 4
months later we were up and running! It was very scary
and still is. But at first, Matt Olin and I were working
on 60 cars a month. Now our staff of 8 is working on
100 cars a week!
Conant is a full service automotive shop. The knowl-
edgeable staff will assist in vehicle maintenance and
repairs. Not only can they help with cars, but also with
trucks, SUVs, and as Conant states, Basically, any-
thing that will fit into our shop. Drive by sometime,
and you might see anything from a collectors car to
even an RV in the lot.
Then there is the question
of quality of work too.
Conant adds, We offer
a two year, 24,000 mile
warranty on all parts, and
labor (except tires). Our
products and parts that we
install are the best qual-
ity, best fit and best price.
Conant Automotive also
assists with sales of tires,
brakes, lube, oil and filter,
transmissions flush, tune-
ups, exhaust work, and
other services. We offer
an in-house tire protection
plan on tire purchases.
Conant wants you to think
of t hese poi nt s before
heading out of town. We
offer everything that the
new vehicle dealers and
big box stores do, but at a better price. And here, you
are treated like family, too. Did you know that loaner
vehicles are available, and that your vehicle will get
washed after its service? Those are some of the old
fashioned, locally-owned shop qualities that keep peo-
ple returning to Conant Automotive.
Looking back, Joe Conant states, I have learned so
much from my customers and the guys that worked
with me in my shop. It has been a roller coaster with
what I have had to learn and deal with. Sometimes I
just want to say, The hell with it and leave. But then
being the owner, I dont have that option. Conant goes
on to say, One important thing that I have learned is
that greed will take you over if you do not look back at
your roots. If you look back at where you came from
and how you grew up, you can see what is truly impor-
tant to you. For me, family and friends are extremely
important to me. This is why the Shop is closed on Sat-
urdays. Life is too short and kids grow up fast. I missed
so much of my oldest boy, Joe Jrs young life by having
to work on Saturdays. Things had to change. Conant
continues, I am not going to miss anything and my
staff will not miss out on their family life either. Fam-
ily, loved ones, and friends help make us who we are!
To accommodate the community, Conant Automotive
is open 11 hours a day, 5 days a week. There are 3
loaner vehicles too. With just a phone call, Joe and his
staff can accommodate anyones hectic schedule.
Joe Conant feels that the most important benefit of
being a business owner in the community of Stough-
ton, is that; the person whose vehicle we are working
on, might be our neighbor or our friend. It might be
someone in the same church congregation, or a parent
of one our childrens friends or classmates. Our cus-
tomers are retired teachers, retired policemen, people
we went to school with. Its a great feeling to be able to
serve our community.
We know that Conant Auto believes in customer ser-
vice. To keep up with the higher demand, there is the
friendly staff of 8. The 5 star staff include: Joe Conant
Jr., Nick Drogsvold, Jason Elliott,
Jim Ganshert, Jay Kwiatkowski,
Matt Olin, Bernie Sherwood &
Greg Vale. I am so lucky to have
such a loyal, long- standing staff.
We treat one another with respect
and have fun every day. The feel-
ing of family runs over into cus-
tomer service. Customer service
has always played an integral part
at Conant. In fact, it seems to be
second nature to the staff. There
is such a positive vibe when one
steps into the shop. Although, they
also know that the very thing that
they excel in; can also be the ulti-
mate challenge. Keeping up with
the customers needs when you
have the volume of customers can
be a challenge. Joe notes. We
want to make sure that everyone is
100% satisfied.
When asked why the commu-
nity of Stoughton should support
locally owned businesses, Conant
replied, Supporting a local busi-
ness will make the whole com-
munity better Local businesses
give back to the community too.
Conant explains, My wife Erin,
and myself believe in giving back
to the community. We decided a
long time ago, that this was a must
for us when going into business
for ourselves. It is the right thing
to do. When you give, it is such
a good feeling. What is a better
feeling: filling the freezer at the Stoughton Food Pan-
try or buying some junk Chinese electronic toy that
is going to fail? I choose the Food Pantry! Through
the Community of Stoughton, Joe Conant and his staff
have also had the chance to be a part of so many fun
filled and gratifying events like the Stoughton Fair,
Syttende Mai, Coffee Break Festival, and The Stough-
ton Chamber Business Expo. I doubt I would have
had the opportunity to be a part of so many community
minded events, if I would have ended up in another
place. Joe Conant said.
Opening the doors eight years ago is the best
thing (other than marrying Erin, and the birth of all
of my children) that has ever happened to me! Joe
exclaimed. Joe Conant wanted to create an automotive
shop from the ground up. Honesty, integrity, and old
fashioned customer service were things that he looked
for as a consumer. He wanted those same ideals to
be part of his own business. As he has said before, I
dont want to be known as the biggest shop in town,
but I do want to be known as the best, and so does my
staff. I want to thank all of my customers past, pres-
ent and future for being there. I truly could not have
done this without you!
Happy 8th Anniversary Conant Automotive!!

Stolen edges Kailey
Taebel for final state
berth, team falls in playoff
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
It was a little strange for seniors
Ashli Stolen and Kailey Taebel
needing to best one another for
the final individual state berth
Tuesday in the WIAA Division
1 Middleton sectional at Pleasant
View Golf Course.
Stolen had already sunk a birdie
putt to force a three-team playoff
for the final team spot, but after
Stoughton lost the playoff and
Middleton knocked off Madison
Memorial to get to state, only
Stolen or Kailey Taebel would be
going to state.
But as the moon slid behind
the clouds and left the first hole
on the Lake course in darkness, it
was Stolen who sunk the par putt
to advance to state for the first
time.
We never really thought we
have to play against each other,
Stolen said. It was really hard,
because Kailey and I became

Vikings earn
No. 3 seed for
playoffs
ANTHONY IOZZO
The WI AA Di vi si on
2 seeds are set, and the
Stoughton High School boys
soccer team is seeded third
in regional B of the Wilmot
Union sectional.
The Vikings (10-5-4 over-
all, 2-2-2 Badger South)
play No. 6 Westosha Central
at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14 in
the regional semifinal. Since
Stoughtons soccer field is
not a WIAA approved site,
the game will be played at
Westosha Central.
The Vikings played Wes-
tosha Central last season and
fell in a shootout, but they
got some revenge early in
the season with a six-goal
win.
Stoughton hopes to con-
tinue its revenge next Tues-
day.
If we play the way we
have been playing, I think
we will do well, head coach
Dave Wermuth said.
Stoughton finishes the
regular season against Vero-
na at 7 p.m. Thursday and at
Beloit Memorial at 7 p.m.
Friday.
The Vikings host Janes-
ville Parker at 3 p.m. Satur-
day.

Vikings become playoff eligible
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Senior co-captains Alex Zacharias
scored a pair of touchdowns and safety
John McCune iced Fridays Badger
South Conference road win.
Zacharias rang up 176 yards, includ-
ing 14 straight carries on the go-ahead
drive in the fourth quarter to help the
Vikings knock off host Oregon 13-12.
Alex fumbled in the first quar-
ter and he fumbled last week, but we
believe in him, Stoughton head coach
Jason Thiry said. Hes our leader.
Theres no doubt about that.
And in the Vikings biggest rivalry
game of the year there was no doubt
what was coming.
There was no secret, Panthers head
coach Dan Kissling said. We knew
what they were going to do. They basi-
cally told us what they were going to
do and we just couldnt stop it. Give
credit to their line.
While Oregons offense did some-
things to give the Vikings fits early
on, Stoughton made the necessary
adjustments in the second half and two
drives later McCune picked off Pan-
thers quarterback Trent Ricker to help
Stoughton became playoff eligible for
the first time since 1998.
It was just great to do it for my
team, McCune said.
Stoughton now cant finish worse
than .500 in conference with Fridays
win. No playoff eligible team in the
Badger South has ever missed the play-
offs with a .500 conference record.
Weve talked about that a lot,
McCune said. Thats making history
right there and were really proud of
that.
Both teams capitalized on early turn-
overs.
Ricker rang up 107 yards passing,
including a 4-yard touchdown strike
to Alex Duff to give Oregon the lead
early in the second quarter.
The Panthers then watched Zacha-
rias bull over their defense to take a
7-6 lead before halftime. Oregon came
out firing out all cylinders in the third
quarter as Matt Yates capped an 8-play,

Sports editor
Junior Carrie Aide and
sophomore Marissa Robson
entered Mondays WIAA
Division 1 Stoughton subsec-
tional with high expectations.
A week removed from
securing the Vikings first
Badger South Conference
individual title in 20 years,
Aide and Robson entered
subsectionals as the top seed
at No. 3 doubles.
We werent feeling cocky
about it, Aide said. We still
knew anything could hap-
pen because we play other
sports.
Aide and Robson were six
of 10 varsity tennis players,
who also played together on
the Vikings basketball pro-
gram.
Basketball definitely helps
with our quickness and ath-
leticism, Robson said. And
weve already bonded togeth-
er.
They were one of four
flights the Vikings advanced
on to Wednesdays WIAA
Division 1 sectional meet
Wednesday in Burlington at
11 a.m.
Still, Aide and Robson
needed everything they could
muster to knock off fifth-
seeded Celeste Bayer and
Ricki Budewitz.
Losing their first set against
Watertown, Aide and Robson
battled back to take their
match 4-6, 6-2, 6-0.
Our first match today was
pretty easy, but Watertown
was much better, Robson
said. They were hitting a lot
of lobs and we dont like that.
It took us a set to figure it
out.
Stoughton eventually got
the Goslings running more
and unable to set up lobs and
hitting deep cross court.

Vikings earn sixth seed for
conference tourney
ANTHONY IOZZO
The Stoughton High
School volleyball team has
its work cut out for itself at
the Badger South Confer-
ence tournament Saturday.
The Vikings (8-17 overall,
1-4 conference) will be seed-
ed sixth whether they can
upset conference rival Madi-
son Edgewood Thursday
(7 p.m.) or not. That means
Stoughton will play the No.
3 seed, which will most like-
ly be Fort Atkinson, to open
the tournament at 9 a.m. at
Milton High School.
The tournament is double
elimination, so Stoughton is
guaranteed to play twice.
The Vikings also play
a non-conference game at
Whitewater at 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday.
MG 3, Stoughton 2
Stoughton lost a tough
match to Monona Grove on
Thursday 3-2 (25-21, 25-20,
18-25, 19-25, 9-15).
Junior Hannah Hobson
had 15 kills, while senior
Annie Fergus added 10.
Senior Olivia Dorscheid
and Hobson had three aces.
Senior Lindsey Bach had 38
assists.
Hobson added t hree
blocks, while sophomore
Rachel Hedman had two.
Dorscheid (18), senior
Hannah Posick (16) and
senior Lindsey Back (15) led
with digs.
62-yard touchdown drive
with an 8-yard touchdown
run.
This team overcame a
lot and showed a lot of heart
tonight, Thiry said. The
town and community of
Stoughton should be very
proud of them.
Thiry continued on cred-
iting the blocking of the
Vikings captain Austin
Benton and junior quarter-
back Jacob Kissling (four-
of-11, 43 yards), who had
a huge third down conver-
sion to Jacob Benson on the
Vikings first scoring drive.
The Channel 57 Game of
the Week, Stoughton cele-
brated with friends and fam-
ily during a postgame Hwy.
138 bowl trophy presenta-
tion.
That was amazing,
McCune said. Its a rep-
resentation for all weve
accomplished and overcome
this season, losing some
tough games to some really
good teams.
Those are the kind
of games that can really
demoralize you, but weve
bounced back to win three of
four conference games and
were really proud of that.
Stoughton faces confer-
ence teams at different ends
of the spectrum going into
the final two weeks of the
regular seasons.
The Vikings (3-4 over-
all, 3-1 conference) hosts
defending Division 3 state
champion Monona Grove
(7-0, 5-0) at Collins Field
on 7 p.m. Friday. Monona
Grove hasnt lost a confer-
ence game in more than five-
and-a-half seasons.
Weve got to rise up next
week, McCune said. I
know my team will be up for
the challenge.
Stoughton closes out
the regular season Oct. 17
at home against Madison

Kooima leads Vikings to win over Portage
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Maddie Kooima won the 200 IM and
100 free with personal bests last Thurs-
day at home against Portage.
Kooima claimed the 200 IM in 2:25.11
before adding the 100 free in 59.32 to
help the Stoughton girls swimming team
win 93-77. She opened the meet with
Annie Hudkins, Averie Ness and Sophie
Pitney, winning the 200 medley relay in
2:02.44.
Kooima helped the Vikings cap the
meet, joining Ashley Foss, Allie Nie-
meyer and Pitney to claim the 400 free
relay in 4:05.88.
Niemeyer added the 200 (2:10.29) and
500 free in 5:39.85, while Pitney took
the 100 backstroke in 1:08.36 and Annie
Hudkins added the 100 breaststroke in
1:20.32.
The Vikings finished the evening with
10 personal bests.
We knew the meet was going to be
close, said Vikings head coach Elise
McLaury whose team as ahead by just
five points at the break.
We just needed the same energy that
we had against Fort and we basically
kept the same lineup and it paid off,
McLaury said. We have been working
on finishing races strong and a few of
the races that has been the deciding fac-
tor.
St ought on s JV t eam f el l 69- 50
despite several strong performances.
Several JV swimmers are gaining
ground dropping times and will be
put in the varsity lineup, McLaury
said. Which is nice since I can play
around with the lineup a bit and see if
we can make another events stronger.
McLaury said the team is looking for-
ward to the Waunakee Invite on Satur-
day where they are able to swim more
50 events than just in the relays.
Milton 128, Stoughton 42
The Vikings traveled to Milton on
Tuesday to face a Red Hawks squad
ranked ninth on the Wisconsin Inter-
scholastic Swim Coaches Association
Division 2 state poll.
Niemeyer turned in Stoughtons top
two highest finishes, finishing second
in the 200 free (2:08.08) and runner-up
with a season-best 5:36.45 in the 500
free.
Ness, Foss, Pitney and Niemeyer add-
ed a runner-up finish on the 200 free
relay (1:53.46).
Stoughtons other best times came
from Bella Lenz in the 200 IM and
Aubrey Schleppenbach in the 50 free.
Can definitely say that it was not our
best meet, McLaury said. We have a
lot of soreness going on right now, but
we have to push through it and realize
that it will all pay off at conference and
the postseason.
Stoughton hosts Monroe/New Glarus
at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14. The meet
also doubles as Senior Night.

Staffen finishes runner up
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Senior Nikki Staffen challenged for the
lead throughout Saturdays annual Stough-
ton Invitational. She eventually fell off the
pace of Sun Prairie junior Katie Hieptas,
settling for second place in 19 minutes, 11
seconds.
Sun Prairie earned top teams honors
behind the first-place finish of Hieptas
(18:48). The Cardinals placed all five var-
sity scorers in the top 15 for 35 points. Big
Eight Conference rival Middleton (50)
finished second. The Vikings rounded out
the top three teams with 85.
Senior Megan Reese took 14th overall
as the Stoughton girls cross country teams
second runner in 20:31. Sophomores Clea
Roe (20:55) and Aly Weum (20:58) fin-
ished three seconds apart in 19th and 20th.
Freshman Paige Halverson placed 30th
overall as the teams final varsity scorer in
21:26.
Augustyna Brestar and Katie Roe both
competed on varsity but did not score.

Still it may have been
second-seeded junior Holly
Brickson and sophomore
Sydney Johnson that came
up with the biggest win of the
day.
Having cruised through a
6-0, 6-1 win against Sun Prai-
rie, the Vikings No. 2 doubles
team fell flat in a first-set loss
against third-seeded Dittman
and Crandall of Milton.
Stoughton, which was tied
with Watertown for second
place with 14 points, trails
Monona Grove by four points
heading into sectionals. Bur-
lington and Waterford from
the other subsectional lead the
way tied with 20 points.
Team state is very much
a goal, Robson said. We
cant go individually, but we
can help the team go, so thats
what we are hoping for.
Despite holding a com-
manding lead early in the
second set breaker, Stoughton
quickly watched their lead
disappear at the Red Hawks
fought back to 6-all.
Brickson and Johnson
found a way to take that set
and eventually the match 1-6,
7-6 (10-8), 6-4.
My heart stopped about
a half dozen times during
their match, Stoughton head
coach Ryan Reischel said.
We know we have an uphill
battle ahead of us at sectionals
as far as trying to reach team
state, but its nice to at least
be in the discussion.
The win kept the Vikings in
the hunt for a first individual
state tennis berth based on
combined points from sub-
sectionals and sectionals.
It would mean a lot to get
this program to team state,
Aide said. Last year when I
was on JV and had friends on
varsity no one every really
asked them about tennis.
This year Ive heard a lot
more questions about how
things are going. Going to
team state would be awe-
some.
Sophomore Payton Kahl is
no stranger to the individual
state tournament, qualifying
last year as a No. 1 doubles
player. Kahl and new dou-
bles partner Kendra Halver-
son moved one step closer to
Nielsen Tennis Stadium with
a commanding 6-0, 6-0 win
over Sun Prairie.
Third-seeded sophomore

at No. 1 doubles a year ago
with Kahl, advanced on sec-

Benoy and Stoughtons No.

win their first match Wednes-

individual state tennis match.
Benoy faces Burlington
sophomore Lacey Londre
(17-11), while Kahl and Hal-
verson battle Waterfords
Lauren Sikora and Katie

The Vikings were only able
to pick up one other singles

Middleton later knocked

I am glad that my team
played so well, and that
we had a chance for it all,
Stolen said. I am happy I
made the putt, but it wasnt
just that putt that sent us
into the playoff. It was
how the team played.
And that was something
head coach Dave Taebel

It was a roller coaster

isnt just a low team.
She also hopes to be in

Edward Joseph Eisele
Jr.
Edward Joseph Eisele Jr.,
91, passed away peacefully
at home on Sept. 20, 2014.
In 2011, several area news-
papers chronicled his life
and described it as fasci-
nating and remarkable.
Ed was born in 1922 in
Madison to Edward Eisele
Sr. of Madison and Doro-
thy Evans Eisele of Stough-
ton. He was a grandson of
Joseph Eisele of Madison.
He at t ended East Hi gh
School and graduated from
Edgewood High School in
1940. During the depres-
sion, he worked summers at
the Morris Collins farm in
Newville.
Ed interrupted his UW-
Madison studies to serve in
the U.S. Army from 1942-
46. While with the Army
Signal Corp., he was sta-
tioned in Moscow, Russia,
to operate a critical radar
line needed
b y Al l i e d
forces. After
the war, he
worked in the Middle East
setting up radio stations
for the first trans-Arabi-
an oil pipeline. The first
Arab-Israeli War started
while he was there. When
Ed returned, he completed
his studies at UW-Madi-
son and graduated in 1950
with a degree in Applied
Mathematics and Engineer-
ing.
Ed married the former
Joan Jenson of Edgerton,
granddaughter of Edger-
ton tobacco baron Andrew
Jenson. They were married
for 51 years until her death
in 2001, and they had four
children.
Ed wor ked i n publ i c
service for the rest of his
career. He was first with the
U.S. Central Intelligence
Agency, which had him
work on numerous secret
projects and had him travel
all over the world, at times
unbeknownst to his fam-
ily. Ed was involved in the
U-2 project and saw its first
flight. He also worked on
guidance systems for the
United States ballistic mis-
siles, including the THOR
missile.
Ed went t o work for
NASA in 1964 and stayed
with the space agency for
the rest of his working
career. He was st at i on
director at the Fairbanks,
Alaska, STADAN Station
for 20 years. Many of the
various satellites had polar
orbits, so the station played
a key role in data acquisi-
tion.
Whi l e i n Al aska, he
earned a masters degree in
engineering management
at the University of Alaska
Fairbanks. After retirement,
Ed and Joan left Alaska and
moved back to the area,
first living in Evansville
and then in Stoughton on
Lake Kegonsa. They were
collectors of antique chil-
drens dishes and furniture.
After Joan passed away,
Ed learned the art of chair
caning. Through word of
mouth, he ended up restor-
ing many antique caned
chairs for local families.
Ed is survived by his four
children, Patricia Shechter
(the late William) of Fair-
banks, Alaska, William
(Pamela) of Woodbury,
Minn., Robert of Stough-
t on, and Cheryl (Greg)
Ski ffi ngt on of Dayt on,
Wash. He is also survived
by seven grandchildren and
eight great-grandchildren.
Ed was very active in
community organizations
throughout his life, most
notably the Boy Scouts of
America. He served many
years as a troop leader while
his sons were in the scouts,
and then later as an adult
leader. Ed was also active in
Rotary International and the
Knights of Columbus. He
leaves many local friends in
both those organizations. Ed
was also a faithful member
of St. Ann Catholic Church
in Stoughton and served on
the school committee for
many years.
Among awards received
by Ed were the U.S. Army
Soldiers medal for bravery,
Paul Harris Fellow from
Rotary International, Fourth
Degree from Knights of
Columbus and Order of the
Arrow Brotherhood and
Silver Beaver Awards from
the Boy Scouts of America.
When he retired in 1985,
the Fairbanks North Star
Borough renamed the road
to the NASA Station in
Fairbanks, Eisele Road.
A Mass of Chr i st i an
Burial will be held at St.
Ann Catholic Church, 323
N. Van Buren St., Stough-
ton, at 11 a.m. on Monday,
Oct. 13, 2014. Visitation
will be held at the church
from 10 a.m. until the time
of the service on Tuesday.
In lieu of flowers, the fam-
ily welcomes memorials to
St. Ann Catholic Church.

tized by administrative staff.
DISCUSSION:
A. Summer School Update (L1,
L2, L3, L4, L5, P2) - Summer School
Principal, Chris Keenan thanked, Diana
Kittleson and her custodial staff for their
support of summer school, Sue Moe the
summer school administrative assis-
tant and Amy Kersten, for her support
in implementing Infnite Campus this
year. She then reviewed 2014 summer
school: 100% of academic classes and
85% of enrichment classes were taught
and supported by internal staff; 875 stu-
dents enrolled; 72 staff; 34 enrichment
classes; 19 academic classes; 214 K-8
reading students; 15 new enrichment
courses; and, 2,008 books were checked
out. Summer school now uses the dis-
tricts student software, Infnite Campus,
to facilitate, registration through cam-
pus portal accounts. Using Infnite Cam-
pus for summer school provides staff
with student information such as: health
concerns, progress reports, interven-
tion records and compiles DPI reporting
information. Chris also reported almost
50% of our students have attended sum-
mer school for 3+ years!
B. Central Registration Update (P1-
3) - Director of Business Services, Erica
Pickett thanked Jenny McKenna and her
committee for their work to coordinate
this years central registration. This
is the fourth year we have conducted
central registration. This year we tried
to compile family traffc fow counts
throughout the day and found there was
a steady stream of families throughout
the day with peaks at the beginning and
end of the day. We processed about half
of the district families last Thursday.
After tomorrows central registration is
done district personnel will be able to
level classrooms before school starts
September 2. At Central Registration
families receive: district handbook; pay
fees; students pictures are taken; and
transportation, food service, health and
athletic information are completed. Dis-
trict staff have told us central registra-
tion addresses many concerns for par-
ents before school starts and makes for
a much smoother frst week of school.
This past year we also implemented a
central enrollment process for families
to enroll all students in one place (ad-
ministration building) at the same time.

Hilary crammed a lot into life. Family. Friends. Work. Travel. Some things just had to wait.
Like her mammogram. To give her a nudge, the care team at Meriter UnityPoint Health
called Hilary until she got tested. Her results: breast cancer. Her doctor immediately pulled
together a team of specialists. Together they collaborated to develop one treatment plan
that caught Hilarys cancer in time. Coordinated care is about surrounding you with
care that can save your life. Right down to a phone call from our nurses.
The point of everything we do is you.
Based on a true story at Meriter - UnityPoint Health or its afliated providers in Iowa or Illinois.
Hilary was a
procrastinator.
She learned breast
cancer isnt.

Seasons Hotel Lion Palace
St. or Walt Disney World
Grand Floridian Resort,
Parr always happily returns
to his Stoughton home just
off of Main Street.
Top rated travel blog
The idea for a luxury
travel blog for all things
plush and posh, began sim-
ply as people came to Parr
for travel suggestions and
r ecommendat i ons, sai d
Parr.
Ive always loved to
travel and see new sights,
he said.
With his background in
digital marketing as CEO
at Parr Interactive since
1995, it was only natural
for him to compile all of
his recommendations in
one online location Pur-
suitist.
Content creation and
developing websites is my
second nature, he said. I
can create online destina-
tions for my clients, so I
wanted to create one for
myself.
Pur s ui t i s t of f i ci al l y
launched in 2011 with writ-
ers from Conde Nast Trav-
eler, Saveur, Mashable and
Techcrunch and categories
that include Arts, Auto,
Epicurean, Family, Green,
House, Style, Tech and
Travel.
I manage the workflow
of new content, the tal-
ent and write five stories
a week, said Parr in an
e-mail to the Hub.
The websi t e now has
410,000 unique visitors per
month and 350,000 page
views per month, Parr said.
According to the media kit,
its corresponding Face-
book account has 750,000
followers and its Twitter
account, interacting with
big spenders like Donald
Trump and Paris Hilton,
has 16,000 followers.
Parr believes the popu-
larity of his site comes
from the quality of its con-
tent.
So much online is quick
and not much substance.
We wanted to do some-
thing more positive, inspir-
ing, encouraging, he said.
We dont try to do quick
posts, the richness behind
it really resonated with our
readers.
So with in-depth posts
such as one mans first-
person account of driving
a Bentley on Germanys
notoriously fast-moving
Aut obahn hi ghway and
anot her s conver sat i on
with award-winning chef
Anthony Marin of Chica-
go Tru, the blog has been
featured by the New York
Times and Forbes.
Parr himself was recently
nominated by USA Today
and 10Best as one of the
top five luxury travel blog-
gers.
Home sweet home
When hes not off gala-
vanting around the world,
Parr lives in Stoughton
with his wife Alison-Rely-
ea and his two daughters,
Ava, 9, and Grace, 6.
He and his wife chose to
move to Stoughton in 2002
from Madison, in search
of someplace a bit more
private with, more of a
hometown community.
For the past 12 years,
St ought ons hi ki ng and
running paths and proxim-
ity to the river, have served
his family well, he contin-
ued.
Whats great is to come
home to a great hometown
and a great community,
Parr said.
In addition, being out of
Stoughton is a great central
hub for travel purposes,
offering close proximity to
Chicago and a short flight
away from New York.
Its a fantastic way to
see the world for us and be
grounded, he said.
For us, its the best of
both worlds.
