Coleen Kehl calls it a positive tradeoff. She will lose some lobby and sceneshop space but will gain bigger studios. And she will own them. Kehl, the owner and artistic director of the Stoughton Center for the Performing Arts, will lose square footage when she leaves the Tobacco Junction building to move her business to the condominium she Kehl purchased at 2320 Jackson St. But she will gain nicer, larger studios and the knowledge that when she builds the new dance, drama and music studios this time, shell be investing in a space that she owns for the first time.

The staggeringly awful video from McDonalds that sparked an obsession more than 20 years ago is coming home. Stoughton natives Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett are creators of The Found Footage Festival, a traveling show that since 2004 has cracked up audiences across North America and Europe with some of the weirdest, funniest VHS videos youve never seen before. On Saturday, Dec. 21, Pickett and Prueher, both 37, will perform in Stoughton for the first time to help raise money for the Stoughton Village Players Theater. Its our hometown, we thought it was about time, said Prueher, a 1994

Kim Thompson and Emma Crowley act out their PSA that warns about the dangers of texting and driving.
A public service announcement created by a group of Stoughton teens could run on local TV this winter if it gets enough online votes, with voting starting next week. The PSA is part of a contest put on by TV station FOX47 that warns about the dangers of texting and driving. A group of students from Stoughton High School won last years contest. SHS sophomore Emma Crowley said she thought the contest looked fun and got a group together, including fellow sophomores Kim Thompson and Austin Triggs, to draw out a story board and enter it into the contest. FOX selected their idea as one of the Top 5 and the station filmed the PSA on Friday to be entered into the contest. The PSA shows a girl (Thompson) thinking about texting while driving who then is deterred by seeing a vision of an angel (Crowley). The

Waiting for the holiday season to do a service project isnt Craig Rowleys style. Rowley, along with 17 other adult missionaries from Lakeside Lutheran Church, went to the Dominican Republic for a week beginning Oct. 26. The group worked at a care center and school for children, providing clothing, food and painting a wall mural to brighten up the school grounds. As leader of the group, Rowley said that the mission trip was Gods calling for the group members, with the missionary work being familiar to him. We went with Kids Alive International, Rowley said. When my family and I lived there for fourand-a-half years as missionaries, wed host families who were also there to help. Rowleys expectations when going on the mission trip was that participants would return with a better sense of the importance of community service. Rowley stated that upon arrival in the Dominican Republic, the first and most overwhelming of the groups reaction was to the countrys economic state. Typically, the first reaction is the high level of poverty, Rowley said. Many of the group members realized how fortunate they are and just how much we have. Group member Bob Martin,

who has gone to the Dominican Republic as a missionary three times, says that he expects to see the poverty, but seeing it was sobering. The poverty there is difficult to get your head around, Martin said. People here just can not imagine the way some of the people there live. And, to the people there, in most cases, they are
happy with what they have even though what they have is not very much. It absolutely breaks my heart to see the kids who have to live in such poverty, he said. Martin and Rowley said they were there not only to do physical labor, but also to build relationships with everyone at the school. (Relationships) with the kids is
probably more important than the physical work we do, and the kids there are so incredibly grateful for what we do and for the time we get to spend with them. In fact, the impact on the group was so powerful that it affected many of their personal relationships, Rowley said. Many that went on the trip had a hard time re-engaging back with
our culture, Rowley said. They realized that relationships are much more important than anything else. They didnt want their relationships to be second in their lives anymore. Another type of relationship that was fostered was between families they sponsor. Martin and his wife had the chance to strengthen their relationship with the child that they sponsor and her family. While it is a very awesome thing to sponsor a child, it is a completely different thing to actually meet that child and their family, see where they live and get to know them, Martin said. The group raised funds for their $1,600 trip with help outpouring from both their church and the Stoughton community. We asked the directors in the Dominican Republic what they needed before fundraising, he said. In the end, we had an additional $8,000 to donate to the school from both the church and the community. Rowley and the group came back from their mission trip feeling fulfilled and uplifted from knowing that they impacted the lives of children and adults outside of their community, and encourage community members to also find a way to serve others. Dont be afraid to serve others, Rowley said.Its an inspiring thing to see the Holy Spirit and God working in the hearts of the group as they worked for others.

Opinion
ConnectStoughton.com
Five years ago The proposal to reduce the number of classes at River Bluff Middle School from eight to seven drew opposition from several parents and staff members. They worried the arts program would suffer because students would be able to take fewer elective courses. The change was recommended as part of study that aimed to evaluate programming and class time usage at the middle school. The citys mill rate was set at $6.97 per $1,000 in assessed value, an increase of 4.88 percent over the previous $6.65 mill rate.

There is also a store in Oregon selling beautiful bottles of wine next to fruit and cheese, intermingled with produce in attractive displays. I dont want to outlaw alcohol, but I would like to have a realistic representation of alcohol. The fact is, it is mentally and physically debilitating. We need laws to protect our children from alcohol accessibility and advertising. We need to stop alcohol from targeting our children. Alcohol should be consumed responsibly with full knowledge of the mental and physical debility associated with it. It should not be something we can pick up quickly and easily off the floor, stocked next to childrens pillows and teen beverages, nor should it be as common place as fruit and vegetables. Im concerned with how insignificantly we look at alcohol - it reminds me of those candy cigarettes.

20 years ago Ald. Sandy Quale resigned, citing health concerns. Quale was elected as a write in during the April election. The Stoughton Area School District mill rate was lowered from previous estimates. Taxpayers expected at $18 per $1,000 in assessed value charge, but that was lowered to $16.96 after revenue cap numbers from the state were received earlier in the month. The Common Council voted to approve having a fulltime mayor. Ald. Steve Forney helped push the matter as the city worked to form its budget. The Hub urged the city to proceed with caution on the issue because of the short notice, but the decision was made in less than a week on an 8-3 vote. The salary was set at $30,000.

The library was seeking $1 million in borrowed funds for the expansion. The city planned to offer the WisDOT $10,700 to purchase the dilapidated rail depot on East Main Street. The citys mill rate on property tax bills was slated to rise by about 6.5 percent to $6.29 per $1,000 in assessed value. Projects like a new storm sewer on Jefferson Street, the extension of Hwy.

50 years ago Stoughton area residents along with most of the country expressed shock at the assassination of president John F. Kennedy. All churches in the area held services Monday and many shops were closed until the afternoon on the day of his funeral. Police reported that the usual mischief surrounding Halloween was a bit overdone with obscene words found painted on garages and downtown. Teenagers also took coin boxes from little ones. We feel slightly stunned and helpless at the realization that morality in Stoughton is decaying seriously. Stoughton history entry from Nov. 18, 1963

A secondary headline over a story in last weeks Hub about a possible Stoughton School District referendum mistakenly identified the conditions board members agreed on as work on the ballot measure progresses. It would be a non-recurring referendum meaning it would not automatically renew itself but the secondary headline inadvertently referred to it as a nonbinding referendum, indicating that it would be advisory only. Such a referendum undoubtedly would be binding. The Hub regrets the error.

In high school, Prueher and his buddies often watched cableaccess shows from Madison and recorded their favorites for posterity. One of the best, he said, was a review of Disney World by a precocious kid who was 10 or 11 years old. It was called Disney World, One Kids Opinion, Prueher said. We could

Im going to be a total fan boy, Prueher said. For audiences, Prueher issued one warning: the show can be lewd at times. Brief clips of full-frontal male nudity arent that unusual. The son of Dan and Jeanne Prueher said his mom asked if he could tone down the hometown show. His reply? Sorry, mom. I dont know if there are any decency laws in Stoughton but well definitely be pushing the limits, Prueher joked.
The show will be followed by an after-party dubbed Waynes Bargain Party, named for Waynes Bargain Store on Main Street that closed in the early 1990s, Prueher said. That store, Prueher recalled, sold a bunch of crap like lacquered Elvis clocks and Harley-Davidson wall tapestries. The owner, Wayne, hated teenagers and smoked constantly next to a prominent No Smoking sign. In middle school, it was the greatest store in the world, he said.

It looked like it was going to be an easy win for the Stoughton High School boys basketball team with a 14-point lead in the fourth Rosowski quarter Saturday at Monroe. The Cheesemakers outscored the Vikings 17-3 in the final quarter of regulation to force overtime, though. Stoughton, however, was able to regroup and survived the scare in a 57-49 win. The Vikings (5-0 overall, 2-0 conference) led 26-4 after shutting out Monroe in the second quarter, but the Cheesemakers (1-3, 1-1) comeback began with a 20-12 advantage in the third to cut the deficit to 14 points. The comeback was made possible by the perimeter shooting of Monroe in the second half. The Cheesemakers drained nine 3-pointers in the second half and overtime combined. Senior forward Charlie Kind (two), senior guard Kylan Helmeid (three) and senior guard Jake Hirsbrunner (four) all got hot from the outside and ended up with 16, 14 and 14 points, respectively. Stoughton also had three players in double digits. Junior forward Nick McGlynn scored 17, while senior guard Paul Rosowski added 15, including three 3-pointers. Senior guard Will Clark chipped in 11. Stoughton travels to Sauk Prairie at 7:30 p.m. Friday for a non-conference game.
Junior Austin Benton (195 pounds) gets congratulations from teammates after a 9-6 win over senior Jospeh Bergren Tuesday, Dec. 10, in a non-conference dual against Hartland Arrowhead at Stoughton High School. The Vikings won the dual 46-19.
A young group of wrestlers is nothing to take for granted this season, as the Stoughton High School varsity team fought like an experienced bunch in a 46-19 win
Tuesday against Hartland Arrowhead. The starting lineup had five freshmen, five juniors, two sophomores and two seniors, but the Vikings won 10 of 14 matches, including two forfeits. The freshmen and sophomores were 4-3, while the juniors and seniors did their part with a 6-1 record on the night. The best thing about this group
is that they work hard and are flying under the radar, co-head coach Dan Spilde said. We are young, and a lot of people dont know what is coming yet. But if this group keeps working the way they are and keep improving, this is going to be a really nice team. One of the more exciting matches of the dual was the opening bout at 195 pounds between Stoughton junior Austin Benton and senior
Joseph Bregren. Benton found himself down 5-2 in the second period and needed to turn the momentum. He got a reversal before the third and only trailed by two after a Bregren escape was given by Benton. Benton came right back with a takedown and a near fall to win 9-6.

Stoughton junior forward Casey Marsh (22) scored a power-play goal with 54 seconds remaining in regulation last Friday to give the MSO Icebergs a 1-0 Badger Conference win over the visiting Baraboo Badger Thunder co-op.
Stoughton junior forward Casey Marsh scored a power-play goal with 54 seconds remaining in regulation that propelled the MSO Icebergs to a Badger Conference seasonopening win over the visiting Badger Thunder. Though controlling play throughout much of the game, the Icebergs looked destined for overtime before Sara Wollin set up Marsh on the doorstep 1 minute after Baraboo took an interference penalty. Sara got me the puck and I slipped in through the goalies legs, Marsh said. At first, I didnt think it had gone in. I
know it felt great to end the game in regulation. We were all so exhausted. We were trying not to die. Despite outshooting the Badger Thunder 33-13, head coach Mike Jochmann said the majority of the Icebergs best chances were wide of the mark. We definitely will be working on some target practice, he said. With Baraboos 11-player bench the same size as the Icebergs entire team, Marsh and the Icebergs were just thankful to keep the game from going into overtime. Our conditioning is pretty good, but it has to get even better, Marsh said.

Senior Aussie Miller and junior Andrew Ether scored 35 seconds apart in the third period to pull the Stoughton boys hockey hockey team to within a goal Tuesday evening inside the Oregon Community Sports Arena. The Vikings (2-3-0 overall, 0-1-0 Badger South Conference) squandered their opportunity, however, with a pair of penalties down the stretch. This whole season we have been down, so were used to playing from behind, Vikings head coach Kris Rosholt said. Once we got back to within a goal, that desire started to become a reality, but we took some costly penalties, which hurt us, and that kind of ended our dream of coming out with the victory. Trailing 4-3 after Miller buried his second goal of the evening and Ether poked home another just over seven-and-a-half minutes into the third period, Stoughton watched Oregon get yet another lucky break. Keeping the puck in the zone thanks to a deflection, the Panthers picked up a second goal by Tommy Hill two minutes later at the end of the penalty. Making the initial save, Stoughton goaltender Taylor Lyons couldnt control the rebound, which kicked right out to Hill, who scored into the empty net. The Vikings turned their own fortune against themselves from there when sophomore Max Quale took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. You cant control the bounce of the puck you cant worry about those things, Rosholt said. Youre going to get bounces both ways in a game, its how you react and recover from those.
Today we werent able to recover from that because we took a penalty that we could not have, especially in that tight situation. Oregon (4-1-0, 2-0-0) went on the power play for a minute before senior Jackson Schneider buried the puck and the Stoughton comeback with just over a minute remaining. I definitely think Stoughton helped us out by taking a couple of undisciplined penalites late in the game, Oregon head coach Rick Fleming said.
The exciting finish was far from how the game started for Stoughton as the host Panthers jumped out to a 3-0 lead through the first period. Lyons and Oregons Zach Jordan both finished with 24 saves. Stoughton hosts McFarland (3-1-0, 1-0-0) at 7 p.m. Friday. They follow that up at home at 3 p.m. Saturday against non-conference Whitefish Bay before returning to conference action Dec. 17 at home against Monona Grove (2-0-0, 0-0-0). The Vikings will have to
wait until Feb. 3 for their rematch against Oegon inside the Mandt Center.

Head coach Rami Hoaglin and the Stoughton girls basketball team knew what was coming Friday when Monona Grove traveled to Stoughton High School. The Silver Eagles, the defending Badger South Conference champion, returned much of there team from last season, and they can not only shoot, but are known for playing a very physical, full-court press from start to finish. But practice and game time are different, and in this matchup, the Vikings struggled to get past half court for much of the first half, committing 23 total turnovers in a 74-54 loss. We have to come into the game with the confidence and preparation that we know we have, Hoaglin said. The girls were prepared, but I dont think we came into the game with that confidence. And that is something we are just going to continue to build on. We need to come in know what they do, know how to counter it and not beat ourselves up. The second quarter was when Stoughton lost control. The Vikings were only down four points with five minutes to play in the first half, but Monona Grove went on a 19-5 run to close the quarter.
MG senior Taylor Nelson scored a bucket after a Hobson free throw, and then she picked up a quick steal and another basket within 15 seconds. Then MG senior Alexa Kelsey took over. She scored a 3-point play and then added a 3-pointer and a layup before the quarter was over. If you give them the ball 21 times (in the first half) they are too good of a team and are definitely going to capitalize on those, Hoaglin said. Despite the game being out of reach in the fourth, Stoughton didnt give up. Sophomore Hannah Hobson, who led Stoughton with 20 points, scored nine in the fourth while senior Payton Gross, junior Ashley Olson, sophomore Megan Boettcher and freshmen Marissa Robson and Kendra Halverson also created opportunities in the paint. Monona Grove had most of its regulars on the bench at that point, but it still had several experienced players on the floor, including starting senior McKenzie Cleary and senior Bailey Anderson. Stoughton turned what was a 34-point deficit into a 20-point deficit when the final buzzer sounded. It is nice to see Payton Gross come in and play hard all the way to the end Hannah just kept going for it and wanting
the ball in the paint. And that is what we want to see, Hoaglin said. If we do look up to the scoreboard, you can let that get the best of you. But it doesnt matter what the final score is, it is if we are playing our best basketball out there. And those two, in particular, didnt want to settle and made sure we walked out of here playing our best basketball. The Vikings fell behind 10-3 to start the game, but Halverson, senior Patricia Dumas and Hobson all scored to cut the deficit to one. Kelsey capped the quarter with a layup to make it 12-9. Monona Grove outscored Stoughton 28-10 in the third quarter. Dumas added eight points for Stoughton, while Halverson picked up seven. Kelsey led the Silver Eagles with 23 points, while sophomore Autumn Ogden and
Senior Connor Sawyers and junior Ben Schleppenbach are back to captain this seasons Stoughton boys swimming team. Connor has a lot to offer, and I think he has a lot to prove his last year, first-year Vikings head coach Karissa Kruszewski said. Connor has many goals before he graduates, and I want to see him achieve all of them. Swimming several different events throughout the season, Sawyers figures to be a key swimmer. He is the lone senior on this years team. The other captain this season is junior Adam Fryer. Both Ben and Adam are both strong swimmers, Kruszewski said. They will be swimming events I dont think they thought they could swim, but us as coaches see potential. They are some of the more versatile guys on the team. Sophomores Erik Hansen, Tristin Heisig, Sam Hynek and Gabe Ross are all returning letterwinners that should help round out the team. The sophomore class is the bulk of this team and they are learning to step up and lead, Kruszewski said. Even though they are still young, they all performed well at sectionals last year and have room for improvement and to move up at sectionals and qualify for state.
Junior Adam Fryer comes up for air in the 800-yard freestyle relay Tuesday in the 10th annual Badger South Conference Relays. Fryer, sophomore Tristan Heisig, junior Ben Schleppenbach and senior Connor Sawyers took third in 8 minutes, 28.25 seconds.
Craig Relays
relay, 300 backstroke and 300-yard breaststroke relays finish third. Out of the 12 events, our lead-off legs had four best times, Kruszewski said. We had many great swims and a show of great strides of improvement. The 400 IM relay of Ian Trautman, Adam Fryer and Gabe Ross posted a time of 4:51.35, while the 300 backstroke team of Tristin Heisig, Ben Scheleppenbach and Adam Fryer turned in a (3:55.11). Stoughtons final top three finish came from the 300 breast relay of Erik Hansen, Trautman and Ross (3:19.92). Our goal as a team is to move up at every meet we swim and slowly chase down those top teams, Kruszewski said. After just the first week of practices, the boys are already showing such improvement both physically and mentally.

While he believes increasing a class size by 2 students can make a difference, there is not research to support it. Dr. Onsager recommended if the Board does want to further explore this it should be directed to the Policy Committee for further review, comparison and recommendation. Considerations should include: cost, space, additional educational assistant support, additional reading teacher support, and student enrollment at different grades. Members directed this to the Policy Committee for review and recommendation.
