After more than three decades


of teaching, including 23 years in
Stoughton, agriculture educator Jerry
Wendt has made a difference in the
lives of countless young people. Next

month, he will retire from Stoughton


High School, wrapping up a remarkable career that has coincided with a
noted improvement in the schools
agriculture and FFA programs.
Agriculture has been a part of
Wendts life from the start. Raised on
a dairy and crop farm in Waukesha,

he attended the University of Wisconsin-River Falls before working for the


National FFA organization in Washington, D.C. He taught for nine years
in Kiel, then came to Stoughton in
1992 so his family could be closer to

Many new moms have tried


to shed their postpartum baby
weight by sticking to a diet
and starting an exercise regimen.
Emily Moyer had already
done that twice and was
looking for something more
challenging after having her
third child last August. A
health scare for her husband,
Jeff, pushed Emily to go way
beyond her comfort zone
and enter a bikini bodybuilding competition.
I like to try to prove a
point Im a mom, but maybe I kind of over compensated, Moyer said with a laugh.
After each kid, Ive gotten in
even better shape.
This winter she started
training for the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation
competition.
Moyer went on to win not
only the novice division,
but took top honors in the
womens bikini division. She
credits her husbands support
and a consistent training plan
with her success, and hopes to
enter another competition this
fall, with a goal of making it
to the international stage later
this year.

Consistency

athlete now.
He was six-week post surgery when we had the competition, Moyer said. There
were times where I was like,
Theres no way.
But Moyer credited her
training plan with Mike Wendorf from Level Up Fitness
as part of her success even
though she took time off from
training to help her husband
after his surgery.
The biggest piece of
advice is consistency, Moyer
said.
Moyer has a degree in
health promotions from UWPlatteville and runs a Beachbody online health and wellness business from her home,
so shes familiar with diet and
exercise programs.
Moyer spent an hour a day,
five days per week training
for the competition. From
January through April, she did
most of her training at home.
After Level Up opened in
April, Moyer was able to do
more of her training sessions
at the gym because they offer
childcare, she said. The program was primarily weightlifting.
I hate cardio, so I dont do
much of it, Moyer said.
The biggest part of her
training, however, was diet.
Diet is always number one
in order to change your body
composition, Moyer said.
Keeping a regular healthy
diet wasnt time-consuming, but it did require planning. And for the most part,
her family was eating those
healthy meals with her.
Most of the time I wasnt
making separate meals for
myself, Moyer said. My
family eats what I eat.
Moyer said her diet is strict
and focus on eating whole,
mostly unprocessed foods.
I would have a treat here
or there, she said. It was
strict, but its all in balance.

Moyer said consistency


was important to her training
program, but it was something completely unexpected
that was the catalyst for seriously training for the competition. Her husband, Jeff, had
been diagnosed with a brain
aneurysm, underwent surgery
and was recovering in the
months leading up to the May
2 competition.
This year was kind of our
year where its like anything weve been putting off
just do it.
Emily said Jeff had been
supportive of her goal
throughout his own ordeal Winning it all
The hard work paid off,
and proudly tells people hes
married to a professional however, as Moyer was able

to win two divisions and earn


a chance to compete as professional bodybuilder this
year.
Moyer entered and won
two categories one as a novice and one open category
for any competitor. Female
bodybuilders can try to compete in different divisions of
bodybuilding, including bikini body, figure, fit body and
bodybuilding.
In the bikini division, judges look for things like muscle
symmetry, tone, fitness and
balance, as well as beauty
components like hair, makeup
and nails. The competition
was terrifying Moyer said,
adding that she had never
been on stage in her life.
I rarely wear heels, she
said. I wanted to go out there
and not trip.
Moyer said she was drawn
to the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation competition because it tests participants for unnatural substances, unlike some other competitions. The WNBF bans
anabolic steroids, growth hormones, prescription diuretics
and amphetamines and other
stimulants.
Being a mom, I thought it
was really important that they
know that Im doing something all natural and that it can
be done without any additive
help from drugs, she said.

Whats next
Now that she has her pro
card, Moyer said she plans to
compete this fall in competition in Georgia.
Depending on how that
show goes, she could compete
in the WNBF world championships slated for Nov. 13-14,
in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The Moyers have plans to
have another child after the
competition. But that doesnt
mean Emily is done bodybuilding.
(Well have) one more kid
and take a year off, Moyer
said. Itll be a sport I can
continue doing forever.

State administrators concerned


about new education proposal
Scott De Laruelle
Unified Newspaper Group

As the clock ticks down


before Gov. Scott Walker
signs Wisconsins 2015-17
biennial budget as expected in the next few weeks,
education administrators
around the state are sounding the alarm.
The states Joint Finance
Committee passed a decision 12-4 last week on a
straight party-line vote that
restores Walkers proposed
$150-per-pupil cut in public
school districts, but could
have several negative effects
on Stoughton, including
prohibiting districts from
raising taxes to replace
state aid lost from private
school vouchers in their
district. The measure would
also eliminate Common
Core standards, provide a
new teacher licensing system with less qualifications
that currently required, and
allow privately run charter
schools to open new schools
under conditions specified
by the Legislature.
Stoughton Area School
District administrators and
school board members had
written a letter to committee members earlier this
spring, informing them of
their concerns about some
of those very proposals
contained in Walkers preliminary biennial budget.
Restoring the $150 perpupil credit during the first
year of the budget, a move
some district officials had
anticipated, essentially constitutes a revenue freeze for
public schools. The committee also added $100 in

per-pupil revenues for the


second year of the budget,
though in a press release
last week, the Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance (WSAA) said
expanding taxpayer-subsidized school vouchers and
deducting aid from public
schools to pay for it will
leave public schools with a
first-year cut and significantly reduce the effect of
the second-year increase.
(This) puts ideology ahead of evidence
by siphoning millions of
dollars away from public
school students to spend
on private voucher schools,
which research suggests
do not improve student
achievement and lack
meaningful accountability to the public, the press
release read.

Troubling provisions
Stoughton Area School
District spokesperson Derek Spellman said district
officials were still reviewing the proposal and didnt
want to offer extensive
comments until school
board members can discuss
the issue at their upcoming
June 1 meeting.

About the biennial budget


According to the Wisconsin Department of
Administration, Wisconsins budget covers a two-year
period from July 1 of one odd-numbered year through June
30 of the next odd-numbered year. In the fall of the evennumbered year, state agencies submit budget requests to
the Department of Administration.
The Governor is required by law to deliver the budget message to the new legislature on or before the last
Tuesday in January, although the legislature can extend the
deadline at the Governors request. To meet the states budgetary cycle, the budget should be signed and effective by
July 1 of the odd-numbered year. If there is a delay, state
agencies operate at their appropriation authority from the
prior budget until the new budget is in effect.
On a first reading, some
of the provisions are troubling for our schools and
public education, he said.
Earlier this spring,
board members sent a letter to members of the
Joint Finance Committee,
expressing their opposition to expanding the state
voucher system.
Much is expected of public education, and we are
continuing to rise to the challenges and demands before
us but this budget hamstrings
public schools, while providing generous increases
in state payments to religious and private voucher
schools, states the letter,
which is on behalf of the
board, superintendent Tim
Onsager and the districts
director of business services Erika Pickett. Students
attending Wisconsin public
schools, and more specifically, the Stoughton Area
School District, will not be
well served by the decision.
We are concerned,
however, that ongoing

reductions from the state,


increased mandates without
financial support to implement them, or revenue limit
increases that dont keep up
with the pace of inflation
will make it impossible to
maintain critical programs
and services for our children.
WSAA director of government relations John
Forester said a bipartisan
approach to public schools
is needed, and vowed to
keep fighting on behalf of
educators and students.
Last week, we learned
that our state was expected,
for the first time, to fall
below the national average in terms of per-pupil
spending, he said. In the
days and weeks to come,
we will work with pro-education legislators of both
parties, parents and community leaders in the fight
to restore Wisconsins tradition of sound investment
in and support for its public
schools and public school
students.

Library reaches second-floor fundraising goal


$30,000 grant puts
effort over the top
Scott De Laruelle
Unified Newspaper Group

The Stoughton Public


Library has reached its fundraising goal for second-floor
renovations, and now its
time to celebrate.
A recent $30,000 grant
from the Madison Community Foundation helped
the library reach the minimum fundraising goal of
$250,000, said director
Richard MacDonald.
The grant will allow us to
not only reach our goal, but
ensures that we will be able
to purchase quality materials such as shelving, carpet,
and furniture that will last
for decades, MacDonald
said. (It) will also enable
the library to meet those
unexpected expenses which
are invariably a part of every
project of this nature.
Plans call for new library
grade shelving, an increase
in both square footage and
display space, improved
lighting and new furniture.
There will also be more
electrical outlets for public
use and new carpeting. In
addition, the meeting rooms
will be moved and enlarged,
the large public service desk
will be replaced with a more

space-efficient model and


a new teen area will be created.
MacDonald said the renovation will provide a safer
and more welcoming space
to the Stoughton community.
The improvements are
projected to cost around
$660,000, with the city picking up $410,000 and the
library picking up the rest
through a variety of grants
and funds raised at events
staff have held during the
past several months.
Madison Community
Foundation vice-president
of community impact Tom
Linfield said in a news
release the renovation will
revive the buildings dynamism providing an inviting and engaging space that
meets the growing needs of
Stoughton.
The Madison Community Foundation believes
that great libraries make
great communities, he said.
The Stoughton Librarys
commitment to expanding their services, offering
a dedicated teen area, and
increasing circulation and

Crash puts woman in hospital


Stoughton man
cited, injured
At least two people
were taken to the hospital
following a crash Tuesday (May 19) night in the
Town of Dunn, the Dane
County Sheriffs Office
said.
According to the release,
Dawn D. Wills a 44-yearold Madison woman was
taken by Med-Flight to
UW Hospital after sustaining significant injuries
in the crash. The sheriffs
office said the injuries
were sustained after a rearend collision with Sandra
J. Schwab, 57, of Madison,
just before 7 p.m. near the
intersection of CTH B and
Highway 51.
Schwab had been

waiting to take a left turn.


The injured woman
was a passenger in a 1999
Mitsubishi Eclipse driven
by Troy E. Goodrich, 44,
of Stoughton, the sheriffs
office said. Sheriffs office
spokeswoman Elise Shaffer told the Courier-Hub
that Goodrich was taken
by ambulance to a hospital, where he was in good
enough health to be interviewed by investigators.
According to the release,
the Sheriffs office cited
Goodrich with inattentive driving, following too
close and non-registration.
Shaffer said that blood
was drawn from Goodrich
as part of the investigation,
but that toxicology results
were not yet available.

Click It or Ticket campaign


continues to end of month
Stoughton police will
stringently enforce Wisconsin seatbelt laws as part
of a national campaign
through May 31, according
to a press release from the
Stoughton Police Department.
Were not trying to
write more tickets, said
Stoughton Police Chief
Greg Leck. Were striving to get people to buckle
up every time they drive or
ride in a vehicle.
The campaign began
May 18, and targets the
roughly 15 percent of users
in the state who do not
use seat belts regularly,
according to the release.

Police said more than half


of traffic fatalities in Wisconsin last year occurred
when drivers or passengers
were not wearing seatbelts.
Whether its day or
night, or a short trip or a
long journey, drivers and
passengers must buckle
up, Leck said. Click It
or Ticket is more than a
slogan to our officers. Its
a life-saving effort.
According to the release,
there were more than
55,000 convictions for
failure to fasten a seatbelt

Letters to the editor

Thanks for celebrating Syttende Mai


On behalf of myself, the Syttende Mai Executive Committee, and the Stoughton Chamber
of Commerce, Id like to express
a big thank you to the Stoughton
community!
The Syttende Mai festival does
more than celebrate our Norwegian heritage.
It provides a fundraising opportunity for over 25 non-profit
groups through food stands or
labor, which has far reaches into
the community. We are proud that
the additions we are making to
Syttende Mai are translating into
stronger fundraisers.
Every year we are so impressed
with the city staff who are critical

to the execution of the festival.


The streets, police, EMS and fire
departments and the mayors
office are so supportive and professional. Stoughton is lucky to
have their leadership and dedication.
The festival is also made possible by the Stoughton business
community.
Without their sponsorship,
we could not tackle such a large
event!
Thank you!
Laura Trotter
Syttende Mai Coordinator

Thanks for supporting food pantries


On behalf of the City of Stoughton and Methodist Food Pantries, I
would like to give a huge Thank
You to all of Stoughtons postal
workers for the extra work that
went into your food drive.
It was a huge success! Your
efforts collected just shy of 10,000
pounds for the food pantries!
I also wanted to thank all the
volunteers from the citys food
pantry as well as the Methodists

food pantry for your help in


weighing, sorting, stocking the
shelves and much more. However, we could not have done this
without you, the caring and giving
people of Stoughton.

find it difficult to see as
clearly as you used to.
Maybe its harder to see fine

or gritty.
Although these are often common signs of our aging eyes, they

eyes checked regularly can mean
the difference between good eye
sight and vision loss.

Protecting your eyes


There are simple things that
you can start with to protect your
eyes. These include:
Put brighter light bulbs in your
lamps (be sure your fixture is
made for that wattage). Brighter
lights cause less eye strain and
can help prevent falls.
Dont smoke. Smoking can
cause an early onset of an eye
disease called age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This
disease can cause permanent loss
of vision.
Wear sunglasses. Make sure
they offer 99 to 100 percent
UV-A and UV-B protection.
This will protect you from the
sun rays that can harm your eyes;
even when it is cloudy outside.
Watch your diet. Studies have
shown that eating foods high in

vitamins and minerals like carrots, spinach, melon and citrus


fruits can actually help slow the
progress of diseases like macular
degeneration.

Years of service
START outgoing board
president Kay Davis said
Susan Albright is the ideal choice for this years
START honor, given her
many years of community
service.
Susan brings enthusiasm

and boundless energy to


community projects, Davis
said. Her special gifts
include acting, singing and
energizing others to share
their talents to create a
community that is welcoming to all. Her skills and
dedication have benefited
the Stoughton Village Players, Habitat for Humanity, First Lutheran Church,
Stoughton Seniors in Need
and the Stoughton Area
Resource Team.
In 2001, Albright served
on a planning team to
address needs for families
in crisis in the Stoughton
area. This vision created the
Stoughton Area Resource

Team. She also represented


Habitat for Humanity for
five years on the Stoughton
Area Resource Team Community Board.
For STARTs annual
fundraisers, she directed, as
well as played Eve, in the
Diary of Adam and Eve in
2012 and directed Mother
Sweetbodys Reward for
the 1920s Hors doeuvres
Theater in 2013.
New START board president Teresa Feidt said this
years celebration theme
is particularly appropriate, considering STARTs
history in the community
and its mission to provide
a safety net for families in
crisis.
START links Stoughton families with community resources and provides
support in housing, health,
employment and financial
assistance, she said. For
years, START has worked
to sow those important
seeds of neighbor-to-neighbor support and assistance
within the Stoughton community.

whom breast cancer took.
Pitas is a participant in the
Avon39 Walk to End Breast
Cancer, a two-day event in
Chicago that has participants walking the equivalent
of a marathon the first day
and a half-marathon the second day. She cites her best
friends sister as the inspiration to complete the walk.

Adventurous, extreme,
wild and loyal, Patty lived
fully, Pitas said. If you met
her once, you likely remembered (sic) her always.
Patty was diagnosed
with breast cancer in 1997,
Pitas said, and succumbed to
the disease five years later.
Pitas is currently soliciting donations for breast
cancer research, screening

and treatment. Donors are


encouraged to offer the name
of a hero, warrior or
memory that will become
part of an honor vest she is
making to wear throughout
the two day journey.
We are walking to raise
awareness, money for
research, money to support
treatments and to honor the
memory of lives affected by
breast cancer, Pitas said.

Instead of the pantry


storing its items in the
basement of the church
and meeting with people
upstairs, the pantry will be
located on the main floor
in the new building, which
only has one step.
PEP co-president and
JFF social worker Sharon Mason-Boersma said
the building will be more
accessible and visible for
the pantry and community
social work.
Its a great connection

It Can Always Be Worse


On the day that I was receiving the news that
this would indeed be my last day of employment my next-door neighbor was getting
the news that she had a brain tumor. I did
not know about her very serious diagnosis
until the next day. In fact, I was doing my
best to keep my spirits up, calling friends
and family, and frankly feeling a bit sorry for
myself when I ran into her out front of my
house. When she told me the news, and she
was incredibly positive about it, I realized
immediately that being out of work is of very
little concern in comparison to a serious
health issue. The good news for her was that
the tumor is not malignant and that surgery
is an option, and apparently a pretty good
option in her case. Sometimes the news is
really bad, and we are told that the tumor is
malignant, or that there isnt anything that
can be done for us, but even then there is
always hope. Sometimes the hope is simply
that they can keep us comfortable in our last
days, or that we will have time to spend with
family and friends. But ultimately, the great
hope of Christians, and of people of almost
every faith, is that a loving God is looking
out for us, and waiting to welcome us to our
eternal home when our sojourn
here on earth is done.
Christopher Simon
For I know the plans I have for you,
declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and
a future.

BUILDING PROFESSIONALS

Q. How much time will it take to build my new home?


A. Time frames to build a new home can vary a lot depending upon size, style, and complexity of

the home. First, the home needs to be designed; some homes can be designed in as little as a few
weeks and others may take several months. If you are building more of a traditional home, under
4000 sq. ft., it usually only takes a few weeks to design. Second, your builder will work with you
to determine the finishes that you would like in your home such as cabinets, flooring, and plumbing
fixtures. After the selections are made, it usually takes about three to four weeks to have your home
priced out. Once the contract is signed, construction will commence and usually takes five to seven
months to complete depending upon the time of year.

risk of periodontal disease and reducing risk of tooth decay, but they should never be used as a substitute for brushing your
teeth. Mouthwash should always be used in conjunction with good hygiene habits.
There are two types of mouthwash that are typically recommended by your dentist: antibacterial mouthwash and fluoride
containing mouthwash.
Antibacterial mouthwash is often recommended for patients with periodontal (gum) disease, high plaque and bacterial
levels, gum infections, and as a mouth rinse after oral surgery or periodontal surgery.
Thor J. Anderson, DDS Fluoride containing mouthwash is typically recommended for patients with a moderate to high rate of dental tooth decay,
children in braces, patients with a dry mouth, patients who have had a history of extensive dental work, and older patients
at risk for tooth decay on the roots of their teeth.
There is a third type, cosmetic mouthwash, that essentially works to freshen breath and make your teeth feel clean, but does not protect against tooth decay.
To see if you could benefit from the use of mouthwash or to see if you are using the correct type of mouthwash, ask your dentist.

facility, they still have needs that must be fulfilled by alternative means.
Comfort Keepers is an in-home assistance company that provides these alternative solutions that allow elders to
remain in their homes while receiving the aid and assistance they need to lead safe and comfortable lives. Often
times, elders may only need intermittent or part-time care. Other times, full-time care and assistance is required.

Rock Golf Resort. Anderson finished with an 80 and earned No. 3
All-Badger South Conference.

Things did not start the way Sam


Anderson hoped Wednesday at the
Badger South Conference meet at
the House on the Rock Golf Resort.
Anderson triple-bogeyed the first
hole, three-putt bogeyed on the second and followed it up with a double-bogey on the third.
Just like that, Anderson was
6-over par, but he didnt let that faze
him. He instead battled through his
inconsistent early play and finished
with an 80, which was enough to
earn him No. 3 All-Badger South
Conference.
It is tough to force things out
here, so I will take the 80 with quite
a few bad holes out there, Anderson

said. It is good to make third allconference. There were a couple of


rounds in the year that I could have
improved a little bit on, but I will
take the third.
Head coach Dave Taebel said it
is an honor for Anderson to be allconference.
I am really proud of how Sam
held it together after a rough start.
That is a model for other kids to
follow. Just keep grinding, and you
cant give up if you just have a rough
patch, Taebel said. He had it early,
got through it and played really well
the rest of the way.
That isnt easy with the quality
of teams that we have in our conference. For him to be in the top seven
is pretty awesome.
Andersons round also helped the

team finish fourth at the meet (334)
and tie for third overall in the Badger South with Fort Atkinson (320)
which finished second Wednesday.
Anderson said that gives he and
the rest of the team some confidence
heading into a tough regional that
has Middleton, Madison Memorial,
Waunakee, Verona, Oregon, Madison West and Sauk Prairie.
We all have the ability to shoot
low. It is just all of us shooting low
at the same time, Anderson said.

NO TRASH PICKUP ON MEMORIAL DAY!


Service the week of May 25th
will be delayed one day later than
your normal pickup day.

People can expect to


hear something different at
each show, Suess said.
Shes a big fan of JP Cyr
and his Radio Wranglers,
who play Western swing,
honky-tonk, country and
hillbilly boogie, covering
old-time guys like Johnny Horton and that era,
she said. Its just quality
music, and I really like the
style.
The band is scheduled
to perform Aug. 6 and features twin guitars, vocal
harmonies, hard rhythms
and twin fiddles.

The Charles Walker


Band, scheduled for July 2,
is another act Suess mentioned as a highlight. The
neo funk band plays a
fusion of soul, R&B and
Mowtown, with strong
hints of gospel music and
an upbeat message.

for a pretty broad marketing opportunity, Suess


said. Tom and I have
recruited the sponsors, and
Ive been in charge of finding the bands.
Theyve also invited
clubs and nonprofit groups

create more awareness of
their groups.

idea came up in a conversation with Lynch and


Mayor Donna Olson.
Tom made this offhand
comment and I thought, I
know a lot of local musicians and I would really
like to be a part of this,
Suess recalled. And then
it just took off.
I really like to connect
people, so being able to
support our local musicians
and find places for them
to perform is important to
me, she added. We have
a lot of amazing talent in
the area.
Suess has lined up a
diverse array of styles for
the series, from blues and
classic rock to folk and
alternative country, honky-tonk, bluegrass, western swing and jazz. She
allowed her own preferences to guide the schedule
of shows.
I just thought about
what shows I would enjoy
and hope that others will
like them too, she said.
Last years shows each
had a local sponsor. Suess
said this year she and
Lynch have adjusted the
sponsorship program so
people have an opportunity
to support more than one
performer.
Weve made a lower
sponsorship amount available as well as higher sponsorship amounts that allow

Wendt: Tireless advocate for agriculture education retires after 23 years at SHS
Continued from page 1
It proved to be a fortuitous
move for many Stoughton
students.
Wendts career has been all
about combining his passions
for agriculture and education.
He served as president of the
Wisconsin Association of
Agriculture Educators from
2006-07, and in Stoughton
he earned a stellar reputation
as a hard-working FFA and
alumni adviser. At SHS, hes
taught a variety of classes,
including landscaping agriculture, vet skills, small animal care, horse and exotic
animal management and
wildlife and natural resources
management.
Things have changed
quite a bit in the schools ag
department in the course of
two decades, he said, both in
terms of facilities and curriculum.
It was a single classroom
and a small office and a testing room for doing small
experiments, while today, we
have a large attached greenhouse, outstanding animal
facility and modern ag science classroom, he said. It

used to be the ag program


was pretty much productionbased, and now we focus
on high technology-type
careers.
Wendt said what really
brought home how long hes
been in Stoughton is that one
of his first students at SHS
now has a daughter graduating this year. He said his No.
1 goal in teaching is to help
students prepare themselves

to go on to success in life, as
good citizens and good family
leaders.
Sometimes in our society,
we set people up for failure,
Wendt said. Im strongly
convinced we have a leadership crisis in this world
individuals cannot make
good decisions on their own
and solve problems. This is
something Ive emphasized
all along.

Academic accolades
Stoughton Area School
District superintendent Tim
Onsager said Wendt brought
a singular passion and energy to his work.
He was a tireless advocate
for agriculture education and
for his students and a champion of the FFA, Onsager said.
Stoughton FFA alumni secretary Darlene Arneson, who
had three children go through

Wendts FFA program, said


everyone at the organization
wishes him the best in his
retirement. She said his job
wasnt an easy one.
Jerry spent his teaching
career balancing his job, family commitments and doing
his best to meet the needs and
requests of an FFA chapter,
FFA alumni and community
that wanted to have a strong
agriculture education program and FFA, she said. He
is a tireless worker, a dedicated friend, a champion of
offering opportunities to students and FFA members, and
a loving and caring person.
We have greatly benefitted
from his ideas, talents, interests and hard work.
Arneson said Wendt never
lacked for things to do with

the FFA.
An agriculture education
instructor is a 12-month position, she said. Jerrys summer was a continuation of
student learning and leadership development. Hes been
active, not only in developing
a curriculum and classes, but
also has had the responsibility of being an FFA adviser, a
greenhouse manager, an arboretum manager, works with
two fairs and was involved in
a number of community related committees and activities.
We wish Jerry time in
his retirement to relax, take
things at a slower pace and
have more time for family
and friends, and to work on
his hobbies all things he did
not have time for during his
teaching career
The Stoughton Junior Fair
Kiddie Barn was recently
renamed Wendt Agricultural
Education Center in honor of
his retirement, after Stoughton FFA Alumni bought the
naming rights. Its an apt honor for someone to which FFA
is near and dear.
Wendt said one of the
most rewarding things hes
done is help the collaboration between the student FFA
group and the alumni and other community and business
groups around Stoughton.
Looking back on his career,
Wendt said its been a lot of
cooperative efforts, something hes proud of.
Its people with common
goals, who have the enthusiasm and effort, he said.
The success here is not me,
its everybody else working
together, and Ive been very
fortunate to be part of that
process here. One of the best
parts of being a teacher is you
get to see kids down the road;
see how theyve successfully gotten more education,
a good job, theyre active in
their communities. When I
look around and see former
students taking leadership
roles, whether its in industry,
or Syttende Mai or Stoughton
Fair stuff, I think Ive done
my small share to make this
planet just a tad bit better. Its
the hard work of individual
kids, good parents and a wellrun community and well-run
school district.
After his retirement next
month, Wendt said hes looking forward to spending more
time with his family and
working on community projects. He and his wife, Sharon,
have three children Jared,
Bryan and Jessica, who is
graduating next month from
SHS.
Its not like Im going
to start a job doing this and
that, although Ive had several offers, he said. Ive
told everybody Im not making any commitments to
anything. I want to become a
little better of a son, brother,
husband, father and member
of the community.
Ive given everything I
could possibly give in the last
32 years to this job.
