The city is preparing to create a new taxincrement financing district adjacent to

Business Park North so a business located
there can expand.
North American Fur Auctions Inc. has
asked the city for TIF assistance in the
form of a 9-acre parcel of city-owned land
in order to build a 110,000-square-foot
steel grading facility, as well as some
infrastructure. The new $5 million building would complement the companys
91,000-square-foot wildlife fur and processing facility in the business park.
The Common Council unanimously
approved a resolution at its June 23 meeting directing city staff to prepare a TIF
agreement between the city and NAFA
Inc. An agreement and spending plan is
expected by late September.
Finance director Laurie Sullivan told
the Courier Hub the city would first have
to create a new TIF district on 37 acres of
the former Moe property, just north of the
business park, which the city bought a few
years ago. TIF is a method of encouraging
economic growth that subsidizes development, infrastructure or other communityimprovement projects by capturing property tax revenue from all taxing jurisdictions
(the city, the county, MATC and the school
district) of the newly developed property.
Any increase in property value, whats
known as the increment, is held in a separate account to pay for the cost of spending
as laid out in the TIF project plan.
Business Park North is in TID 3; the new
district would be TID 6.
The city has to create the district and
put in a road, because theres no road leading to the property, Sullivan explained.
The water and sewer that they (NAFA)
would need is to the edge of the property,
so we can connect there. But wed have to

Administrators
getting used to less
funding
The deadline for paying

the final installment of 2014
property taxes is Friday, July
31.
The Dane County Treasurers office said in a news
release that early mailing
helps ensure that errors can
be corrected before the deadline.
The cost of missing the
final tax installment deadline is severe, Dane County
treasurer Adam Gallagher
said in the release. Under
state law, interest and penalty charges are 1.5 percent
unpaid principal per month

as of Feb. 1 (10.5 percent in
August for 2014 taxes). So,
it is imperative to pay property taxes on time to avoid a
delinquency.
Taxpayers who received
a Dane County Treasurer
reminder notice should return
the bottom section of that
notice with their payment. Do
not combine Dane County
final installment payments
with any other payment.
Your payment to Dane
County can be mailed using

photosynthetic factory more efficient. Good pruning is a mixture of

knowledge, skill, science and art. Removing dead wood reduces
the amount of decay entering the tree. Thinning removes crossing
or interfering branches that compete for light. By selecting strong,
well spaced branches, a framework is developed for healthy, future
growth. Each species has a characteristic growth form that can be
accentuated with proper, artful technique.
The class will meet on

Tuesday evenings from

The news that the

Stoughton Stoughton Area
School District was among
the majority of public
school districts in the state
with funding decreases for
the next year wasnt surprising.
But it didnt make the
reality any more pleasant.
According to a news
release last week by the
Wisconsin Department of
Public Instruction, SASD
will get $310,083 less for
the 2015-16 school year
that it did this past year.
District director of business services Erica Pickett
said decreasing state aid is
an ongoing trend for the
district that school officials have to deal with.
Given our declining
enrollment and the fact
that the estimate is using
the 14-15 aid allocation
for the state (no increase),
the decrease for SASD
doesn't surprise us, she
wrote in an email to the
Courier Hub on Monday.
Pickett said the district
will continue to look for
ways to reduce costs every
year, and that, in conjunction with the recent referendum support, will allow
administrators to balance
the budget for the 2015-16
school year. She said additional state funding could
help avoid another district
referendum.
We will continue to do
our best to project longrange budgets, which continues to be a challenge
with the unpredictability
associated with biennial
state budget, she wrote.

Work in progress
More than half of Wisconsin public school districts will receive less
general aid for the upcoming school year than they
did for the past school
year, according to DPI
estimates. Although the
201517 state budget has
not been finalized, the
most recent version of the
biennial budget maintains
the same level of general
school aid ($4.476 billion)
as was appropriated in the
201415 fiscal year.
Of the states 424 school
districts, 55 percent (234)
are estimated to receive
less general aid in 201516, while 44 percent of
districts (188) are expected to receive more aid.
The DPIs July 1 aid
estimate does not include
per pupil categorical aid,
which will be determined
this fall, based on student
membership from the last
three school years . The
current budget appropriates
$127 million for that aid,
which is $150 per pupil,
the same amount as it was
in the 201415 fiscal year.

A Stoughton woman on
Monday pled not guilty to
13 charges of embezzlement.
Deanna Braaten, 49, is
charged with
seven counts
of theft in a
business setting, and six
counts of
theft of movable property. The latter Braaten
charges stem
from allegations that Braaten took
nearly $200,000 from the
accounts of an 83-year-old
Stoughton woman residing
in an assisted living facility. Braaten is also charged
with taking over $86,000
from the Stoughton Vikings
Wrestling Club.
The club began emergency fundraising efforts following its discovery of the
missing money. A GoFundMe account established
in late May in the groups
name has raised just over
$5,000, only one-third of
the groups goal.
Braaten remains free on a
cash bond.

Letters to the editor
City should continue talks

about redeveloping riverfront
Stoughton has stated they do not
want a Wal-Mart store here, and
they do not want to see expansion
on the west side of the city.
It would be nice to see an
honest, objective, constructive
approach to how best to plan for
the future of this lovely city. It
will always take time to develop
good ideas. The restoration of
the Opera House, establishing a
Youth Center, building a new fire
station all attest to that.
Developing the north side of
the Yahara River near the Mandt
Park area into a Yahara River
Place site would not only provide
for increased growth, but would
reflect well on those from Stoughton regarding their vision, their
attention to detail and their concern for the place where they live.
I would like to thank the author
of that article.
Marita Hettinger
Stoughton
There are bigger concerns than pigs

I took my family which consisted of my wife and three little
kids ages 5 and below to the first
pig wresting event at the fair years
ago, and I probably will never go
again.
Not because I thought that the
pigs where being treated cruel,
but because I did not like it. The
pigs that are used for this event
are well fed and well taken care
of. They are scared, but that is a
normal thing in this event. They
are not being physically harmed in

any way.
But I think if all of us were
more concerned about the welfare
of our fellow man and how they
are being treated, rather than worrying about a bunch of pigs, I truly think that this world would be a
better place to live.

Summer cycling in Wisconsin

Wisconsin celebrated Bike
Week last month, an annual recognition of the positive impact
that cycling has on our health,
our economy and our environment.
I wanted
to take the
opportunity
to remind you
of the many
benefits of
bicycling here
in Wisconsin.
Bicycling
Hebl
is a lifetime
activity that
you can enjoy
at almost any age. Weather permitting, I try to get out on my
bike (an old Schwinn Traveler)
every day. I enjoy bicycling with
my wife and family - whether
its on bike trails around the 46th
Assembly District or traveling
to trails in many of Wisconsins
beautiful state parks.
Biking is a fun and easy way
to get (or stay) fit and healthy.
Especially considering the extensive bicycle trail infrastructure
throughout Dane County, you
can always find a change of
scenery while getting worthwhile
exercise.
If you have the opportunity,
hopping on your bike and leaving
the car in the garage offers many
benefits - not just for your health,
but for your pocketbook and for

the wellbeing of your community
and environment.
Commuting with a bicycle a
couple days a week will mean
youll have to refill your gas tank
less often. Many Wisconsinites
are opting to take their bikes
rather than their cars - more than
20,000 workers regularly commute to work on their bicycles.
And the more bike commuters,
the less congestion there is on the
roads. That means safer streets
and less wear and tear on the
pavement.
And, of course, bicycling is a
greener option than gas guzzling
cars. You can help reduce pollution. You might think that your
own carbon footprint might be
negligible - but think about it:
with more than 20,000 bike commuters in Wisconsin, cycling can
have a significant impact on our
environment.
Bicycling has become an economic driver in Wisconsin. Bike
recreation and tourism contribute
$924 million annually to our
state economy. Its estimated that
annual health benefits from bicycling total $409 million.
Considering the many positive benefits of bicycling, I was
surprised when members of the
majority party proposed that we
increase taxes on bicycles and do
away with the Complete Streets
program, a successful initiative

that ensures new road construction considers bicycle safety and
accessibility.
An increased bike tax - which
would be used to pay for general
highway projects - is counterintuitive. Considering that bicyclists help reduce traffic and road
degradation, bicyclists should be
rewarded, not punished. Fortunately, it appears that the bike tax
proposal has fallen flat.
I remain concerned about the
future of the Complete Streets
program. I believe it is shortsighted and impractical to eliminate this program, and I will continue to advocate for its renewal.
Wisconsin summer is a great
time to hop on your bike and go
for a ride.
If you would like a folded
Dane County bike map (courtesy
of Dane County and the Madison
Area Transportation Planning
Board), please contact my office
and I can mail one to you.
Enjoy the trails this summer and stay safe.

Not long there was a delightful article in the paper regarding

developing business in the area of
the Yahara River.
It stated considerable research
had been done on what had turned
out to be a Masters thesis.Many
cities, including nearby Fort
Atkinson, have developed businesses in park-like settings along
river fronts that have not only added beauty to the town, but created
a sense of pride for the residents
and acted as a draw from outside
the area in the way it supports area
businesses.
My understanding of the position of council members and city
government is that it exists to do
what is best for the city and its
residents. It is to reflect the wishes
of its citizens.It is not to promote
personal preferences. It is not a
competition within the confines of
its members, or to support bragging rights or legacy goals.
Apart from the tax and financial
manipulations presented by WalMart, much of the population of
building would amount to $1.8

million. It also estimated land
value that the city would donate
to the project at $337,500, plus
the cost of building the road and
extending infrastructure.
North American Fur Auctions
is the largest fur dealer in the
country. It is not a fur farm but
instead collects ranch and wild
fur from producers and trappers,
grades the furs and sells the product on the international fur market.
The business first came to
Stoughton in 2002 and needs
to expand, according to a letter NAFA wrote to city officials.
It has 35 full-time and 235 parttime employees, and estimated
it would increase the number of
full-time workers by 20 percent
when the new facility is built.
The company says it would like
to begin construction this fall and
begin using the new facility next

summer.
Sullivan told the Hub if everything goes according to plan, the
city could have the new TIF district created in 70 to 90 days. My
goal would be to have the TIF
district created by the last week in
September, she said.
Sullivan said plans for the TIF
district would first go to the Planning Commission in August,
then to a meeting with the Joint
Review Board, followed by a
public hearing and then to the
Common Council. The final step
in creating the district would be a
vote of the JRB, which comprises
representatives from all taxing
jurisdictions that would contribute to the TIF district, including
the school district and county.

Kubb tournament moves to

Virgin Lake Park July 18
Hoping for greener pastures, the second annual
Corn-O-Kubbia tournament
in Stoughton is moving to
Virgin Lake Park.
The inaugural tournament
was held last year at Mandt
Park, but heavy foot traffic
from the Stoughton Junior
Fair made for poor playing
conditions, Stoughton Chamber of Commerce visitor services director Laura Trotter
told the Hub.
This year, Virgin Lake Park
on Roby Road will be the site
of the lawn game competitions on Saturday, July 18.
Teams can register for Kubb,
a Scandinavian game played
with wooden blocks and dowels. There will also be a cornhole tournament.
Registration for Kubb goes
from 7:30-8:30 a.m. The
50-minute games will begin
at 9 a.m. with a Swiss style
tournament format. Teams
will play at least four games
against teams of similar
skill levels. Top teams will
advance to a championship
bracket and others will compete in a players bracket.

Learn to Play a Musical Instrument

On the weekend after Thanksgiving
last year I attended a brunch activity at
the home of one of my friends where
his adult daughter had organized an
impromptu jam session. She played the
piano while her husband played the tuba
and two others played the trumpet while
several people sang. She did this for her
father, who was dying at the time and
has since passed away. She knew how
much her father loved music, and how
much it would please him to hear folks
playing and singing. When he was asked
if he wanted to hear anything in particular he requested Amazing Grace,
and it was one of the most beautiful and
poignant things Ive ever witnessed. The
event made me wish I had continued to
play the instrument I grew up playing
(the trumpet) and made me realize how
much pleasure music gives to people.
I thank God that my parents encouraged me and my siblings to all play, and
Im thinking of starting to play again.
Consider learning to play an instrument,
or learning to dance (which is another
good way to enjoy music), or just committing to singing a bit more. Youll be
happy you did!
Christopher Simon
Sing to the Lord a new song ... Let
them praise his name with dancing and
make music to him with timbrel and
harp.

Home Talent League
Merchants take over first place

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughton Home Talent overtook

Albion for first place in the Southeast Section with a pair of victories
over Evansville last weekend.
The Merchants jumped out to a
quick four-run advantage Saturday
over the first two innings but saw
their bats go cold through the middle
innings en route to a 9-1 victory.
The first two innings we were
seeing a lot of fastballs. From the
third on he threw a lot of off-speed
pitches and it took us awhile to
adjust, manager Dale Seffens said.
Normally, were shorthanded over
the Fourth weekend but with nearly
everyone here today, I thought we
played pretty well.
Stoughton sent seven hitters to
the plate in the first inning, scoring
twice on two hits, two walks and
two errors.
Rory Menzer and Simon Maurice
led off the top of the first with backto-back singles. Winder Fuentes
then walked to load the bases before
Stoughton scored a pair of runs on
errors with two outs.
A throwing error by the Evansville
catcher plated Menzer. Jake Wenzel
then reached base on an error by the
Jays third baseman before Fuentes
scored on a passed ball.
Justin Moore crushed a first pitch
nearly all the way to Lake Leota
with one out in the top of the second,
but only ended up at second with
a ground-rule double as the park
doesnt have an outfield fence.
Moore later came home on Maurices RBI single. Fuentes singled in
another run but Maurice was thrown
out at home on a delayed steal
before Max Fuller lined out to end
the threat.
These festival games have
plenty of distractions, but ideally it
shouldnt affect you, Fuller said.
One phase of the game where
rock bands in left field seemed to
stall the Merchants, however, was
on the basepaths.
T.J. DiPrizio was caught in a
rundown to end the third and Brad
Knickmeier was thrown out on
missed hit-and-run sign in the fourth.
Stoughton was able to distance
itself from Evansville a bit more
with five runs over the final three
innings, including three runs in the
ninth.
Menzer walked and pitch hitter
Scott Nachreiner singled to leadoff
the ninth. One out later Fuller and
Jake Wenzel added back-to back
RBI singles before Ryan Nyhagen
capped the victory with an RBI
ground out.

Stoughton Home Talent first baseman Max Fuller drives in a run in the seventh inning Saturday at Evansvilles Lake Leota Park. The Merchants scored four runs in the
first two innings en route to a 9-1 Southeast Section victory. Stoughton moved a 1/2 game ahead of Albion with a second victory over Evansville on Sunday.
Fuller and Wenzel collected an

RBI triple and RBI double in the
seventh, respectively.
Despite the final score, Evansville cut the deficit to three runs with
three straight two-out singles in the
sixth.
Sperloen allowed one earned runs
on 12 hits and four walks over nine
innings.
Stoughton 11,
Evansville 1 (8 inn.)
The Merchants took a 1/2-game
lead over Albion with an 11-1 victory over Evansville on Sunday.
Alex Zacharias threw seven solid
innings in his Sunday debut, striking
out nine. Despite only allowing four
hits, he did walk six and allowed one
earned runs.
Nyhagen walked one and struck

out two in an inning of relief.
With Jeremy, Erick and Alex we
have three legitimate Sunday starters and offensively as of late weve
been getting better clutch situations, Fuller said.
Evansvilles Matt Drefahl threw
five innings, giving up four runs on
12 hits. Jo Klug threw two innings
of relief, surrendering one earned
run.
Menzer (2-for-4), Dave Hanson
(3-for-5), Wenzel (2-for-2), Maurice
(2-for-4) and Klitzke (2-for-4) all
collected multiple hits in the rout.
Hanson, Klitzke and Fuentes all
had doubles. Hanson also had a
home run.

kind of hitting this weekend as it

Judith Judy Anderson
A goose that had been like a pet to folks living along the Yahara River across from Division Street
Park died last week after what Melissa Bleiler and Gregory Lee, believe was an intentional poisoning.
Judith A. Judy Anderson, age 61, passed away

peacefully surrounded by
her family on Wednesday,
July 1, 2015, at Azura in
Stoughton. She was born
in Stoughton on Sept. 14,
1953, the daughter of Sheldon and Mildred Stiff.
Judy graduated from
Stoughton High School.She
married the love of her life,
Dennis Denny Anderson.
Judy worked for WPS for 26
years, and for the Stoughton
VFW as a bartender for 10
years.
She had a passion for
horses, loved playing
BINGO, and was an avid

Previous issues
Lee and Bleiler said its
not the first time that geese
or ducks living in their
neighborhood have been
poisoned. Lee recalled a
similar incident happening
about five years ago.
He said several years
ago, people complained
about the late David Kneebone, a former city alder,
feeding geese and ducks
and other birds in his yard.
The city then passed an
ordinance prohibiting people from feeding them.
But the city couldnt
enforce the ordinance on
private property, Lee said.
They could only make
it illegal in the parks, he
said. But this has happened before. Weve had
people out there who think
its fun to let their dogs
loose to harass the geese,
and dont understand thats
a violation of the Federal
Migratory Waterfowl Act.
enjoyed spending time with

her family and friends.
Judy is survived by her
son, Craig (Kris); daughter, Becca (Todd) Arvold;
five grandchildren, Dylan,
Samantha, Zachary, Brooke
and Jacob; two step-grandchildren, Jill and Jerry;
brother, Chuck (Carol)
Stiff; and special friend,
Jim Fosdal.
She was preceded in
death by her parents; husband, Denny; and her
beloved cat, Tommy.
Funeral services were held
on Monday, July 6, at Cress
Funeral Home in Stoughton. Burial took place in
Lutheran Cemetery South.

cherished member of our
neighborhood in her letter.
She discovered the
goose looking ill and being
swarmed by black flies
Tuesday, June 30. She alerted her husband, Lee, who
was sure the animal had
been poisoned. The goose
died a short time later.
Greg recognized right
away that shed been poisoned, Bleiler said.
The next day, Lee discovered two mallards at
Division Street Park that
had met the same fate. Near
the dead birds was a pile of
green pellets and a handmade sign that said, Dont
let your dogs eat this.
Bleiler found the
goose on the property of
Georgine Kneebone, who
lives across the street from
Bleiler and Lee.
Kneebones late husband, David, used to feed
all sorts of waterfowl and
had something of a menagerie in the yard of the family home on the river.
The white goose seemed
to hold a special status in
the neighborhood.
She was kind of a pet,
Georgine Kneebone said.
The day before she died,
she followed me across
the street to a neighbors
house and I had to take
her back home. They next
day she was sitting in our
yard pretty sick. She didnt
last long after that. We
