Stoughtons annual Norse Afternoon of Fun on
Feb. 14 once again showcased several hours
of intricate routines and gymnastics by the
Stoughton High School Norwegian dancers, who
were joined in the festivities by the Hardanger
Fiddlers, the 2016 fourth- and fifth-grade dancers
and, of course, the new Syttende Mai Royalty.
Above, Isaac Eugster plays the role of a uninvited
guest crashing a party, but manages to dance

Nelson said joining Wisconsin Urban Wood is a
big deal and was supported
unanimously by the Tree
Commission. It costs the city
$250 per year to be a member.
It shows our commitment
to recycling and reducing
the amount of wood waste
from the Emerald Ash Borer,
mainly, Nelson explained.
Membership also allows
Stoughton and the Tree
Commission to network with
the members of WUW.
There are architects,
woodworkers and large-scale
businesses, as well as other
communities, he said. It
helps Stoughton to have other resources to use its wood
and keep it out of landfills.

A brother or sister is much more than someone who shares the same
parentage. A brother or sister is someone who loves and supports you,
who has your back when enemies surround you and gives you shelter
when no one else will. Holy men and women have always reminded us
that the family of man makes us all brothers and sisters. The Bible
tells us repeatedly to treat widows, orphans and immigrants well, for
they are Gods children and thus our brothers and sisters. Mystics and
saints have taken this one step further in telling us that all of creation
is Gods handiwork, and thus both the animate and inanimate parts of
nature are also quite literally our brothers and sisters. Modern science
elegantly demonstrates that we are all made of the same basic stuff;
the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in every cell of our body is the same
material from which the stars and planets are made, and the DNA
which maintains our bodies is shared by every creature on the planet.
We share more of that DNA with our human brothers than with our
non-human ones, but its all the same basic stuff. Treat the earth and
all of its inhabitants as your brothers and sisters, for we are all children
of the same God.

Zoning: Dane County executive wants to rewrite ordinance, keep state out of zoning laws
Continued from page 1
different take on the legislation and dont support the
change.
County Executive Joe
Parisis chief of staff, Josh
Wescott, told the Press that
the county seeks a balance on
development, noting that if
towns have their own zoning,
it could create stark differences across the street for residents who live on the borders
of two towns, often separated
by streets.
We think the process
works pretty well right now
as it is, and allows for a central place to coordinate and
facilitate a number of different entities that are involved
in development, Wescott
said.

zoning.
Whether or not they opt out
themselves, though, officials
acknowledged it could significantly change the planning
landscape for some towns.
The county put together a
last-minute effort earlier in
February to keep the legislation from passing by offering to work with towns on a
comprehensive overhaul to
zoning. Unless Gov. Scott
Walker refuses to sign the
bill, though, the effort will
likely be without success,
though rewriting the zoning
code could keep more towns
in the zoning process when
they have the option.
Towns that choose to opt
out under the law would
all work together to create
a shared zoning ordinance,
Hazelbaker explained. Towns
would then decide how the
different zones applied to
their own parcels. Those that
did not opt out would remain
under the countys jurisdiction.
Many towns in Dane County did not support the legislation.
A letter from 10 towns,
including Dunn and Pleasant
Springs, asked members of
the state assembly committee
on housing and real estate to
oppose the bill.
We are deeply concerned
about the repercussions this
bill would have for our towns
and our fellow Dane County
towns, property owners and
taxpayers, the letter, signed
by Town of Dunn chair Ed
Minihan, states. Perhaps the
most important reason we
encourage you to oppose this
legislation is that it seems to
Recurring issue
The discussion around the
town-county relationship is
not a new one.
Neither is the legislation.
A similar bill was going
through the legislature two
years ago when the county stepped in, and asked
Another option
Between creating new zoning and determining the costs
for towns to plan their own
growth, Walkers signing
the bill would leave plenty to
work on in the coming year.
First, the towns would have
to decide if they wanted to opt
in or not.
Itll be interesting to see
how many towns actually
decide to proceed and go on
their on with planning and
development, Wescott said.
It could make local town
politics, something that not
a lot of people pay attention
to, a lot more engaging at the
local level which may be
some of the lemonade what
otherwise we think is a real
bad piece of legislation.
Porter, in Rutland, said that
he hopes the legislation can
spur action at the county level, though, and that the county
needs to dedicate staff and
other resources to update
Dane Countys Zoning Code.
This is something thats
been discussed and neglected
for years, he said. If this
effort forces that effort, then
something positive will have
emerged from this.

for the district to use going forward. The
first test of this new process will be
the re-evaluation of the career ladder/
compensation plan. The timeline is to
conclude the evaluation process by the
end of March. A clear process will be
developed to be used for many issues
facing the district in future years (1892
building, declining enrollment/staffing,
budget deficit, etc.).

Parks and Recreation director Tom Lynch plans to extend the Yahara River Trail this summer by building a new trail from Amundson Park to Stoughton Hospital property.
Trail: City hopes to eventually make a river trail loop that begins, ends at Amundson Park
Continued from page 1
The rest of the $70,000 project would
come from an existing donation.
The estimate is based on an asphalt trail
that is 1,440 feet long and 12 feet wide. It
would connect Amundson Park to property
west of the park owned by Stoughton Hospital along the Yahara River. It would also
cross property owned by Skaalen House.
Representatives from Skaalen and the hospital have already approved Lynchs request
to put the trail on their properties, although
legal documents still need to be drafted.
Lynch told the Hub he had hoped to use
a Dane County grant to build the trail, but
when the city wasnt awarded the grant, I
thought maybe the city would be interested
in doing this because we have unspent money from our impact fees.
We can use that money on things for
the common greater good of the city, he
explained. Something that the whole city
could use.
Lynch said hes secured a $30,000 donation from a local foundation, contingent on
the council approving the use of the impact
fees. He declined to reveal the foundations
name.
Members of the Parks and Recreation
Committee or the Finance Committee had
no negative comments about spending the
This map shows the Yahara River Trail forming a loop that would begin and end at Amundson Park, on
the city's east side. Segments of the loop have been constructed, but there are no plans to complete
the trail loop in the foreseeable future.
