New season promises favorite

About five years ago, Stoughton Opera

House director Bill Brehm and events coordinator Christina Dollhausen turned up the heat
and began booking shows as if the venue were
one of the best in the Midwest.
Now, 14 years after the Opera Houses
centennial celebration and grand re-opening,
there is little doubt that it is a top concert hall
in the region.
With its spectacular beauty, intimacy and
great acoustics, the Opera House has become
a favorite destination for audiences and

The Stoughton Tornado left a swath of destruction a mile wide and 10 to 20 miles long on Aug. 18, 2005.
Fading from Memory

Life takes a different path since the 2005 storm
Kimberly Wethal
Hub correspondent
The houses have been rebuilt, the

brush and fallen trees have been cleared,
the lawns are free of house debris and
scattered lost belongings.
A decade later, a new normal has
been achieved by residents whose neighborhoods were ravaged by a tornado on
the evening of Aug. 18, 2005.
The lasting effects of the devastating
storm on those in the clumps of housing
subdivisions and farms sprinkled north
of Stoughton arent obvious to passersby.
Though seemingly minor and occasional, they bring back mental images
of ominous funnel clouds for some residents every time a fierce wind blows
through or a severe weather warning is
issued for the area.
Young, skinny trees near older, fatter
ones recall the century-old forestry that
used to cover the neighborhoods and
shade lawns.
The smile and tail-wag of a dog who
was thought to be lost forever in the
storm serves as an indication of what the
real cost of the storm might have been
to a family. An encounter with a family friend is a reminder of the ultimate
cost, the one life taken by a night where
storms destroyed hundreds of homes
across the region.
And those reminders have brought
positive changes, too.
Wed never really dealt with

anything like that. You can
never be totally prepared.
- Marty Lamers, former fire chief
The aftermath of the EF-3 twister led
to the construction of the states first
storm shelter in a mobile home park and
the development of a city-based emergency operations center to improve communications among first responders.
Its no longer life-changing, but the
tornado has changed lives.
Its changed not only the people who
lived through it, but also the countless
volunteers who are looked upon fondly by gracious homeowners, the first
responders who came from all around
the county and state to help and anyone
else who lived in the area and knew people who were affected.
Storm wreckage
When the funnel cloud touched down
near his Alice Circle home, Joe Liggett
and his family were in his workshop in
the basement, where they had taken shelter.
At first, they had no idea how bad the
damage was.
We didnt even realize that we got hit
by the tornado until it was all said and
done and we opened up the door in the
basement workshop and realized we had
Courier Hub
a new skylight, Liggett said. We saw

the tornado out the basement windows in
a different part of the house, but we didnt
realize it was a tornado because it was so
wide from our vantage point. It looked like
black sky with paper rotating in it.
The storm is known locally as the
Stoughton Tornado, but its reach was
extensive, damaging or destroying more
than 400 homes across south central
Wisconsin, according to an Associated
Press report. The worst of the storm,
which reached over 200 mph at one
point, was just northeast of the city, near
the convergence of the towns of Dunn,
Pleasant Springs and Christiana.
There it left several people badly injured
and one dead, 54-year-old Harold Orlofske of Pleasant Springs, whose chimney
collapsed on him as he headed to his basement, according to a coroners report.
The storm carved a path of destruction
that spanned between 10 and 20 miles
long and overwhelmed the city police
and fire departments, which had just finished dealing with the aftermath of the
$5 million Christ Lutheran Church fire.
It was huge for us to have a tornado
the next day, pretty much overwhelming for a department like ours and for
the area in general, said Marty Lamers,
who retired as Stoughtons fire chief earlier this year. Wed never really dealt
with anything like that. You can never be
totally prepared.

Dane County
Council adopts maintenance policy for ponds, greenways

Bill Livick
The citys public works

department has created a
stormwater pond maintenance policy that the Common Council approved at
its July 28 meeting.
Public works and streets
supervisor Karl Manthe
explained the policy puts
in writing what his department has been doing in
maintaining stormwater
retention and detention
ponds and greenways on
city-owned property. He
added that the citys ponds
are functioning well.
The general maintenance
plan is designed to prevent
soil and erosion runoff in
the ponds, which ultimately results in less pollution
reaching the Yahara River.
One of the main strategies
to keep ponds free of runoff is to create a buffer of
uncut grass or other plants
around the perimeter of
ponds.
By leaving a buffer of
un-mowed grass, that helps
filter sediments and phosphorus and nitrogen from
entering the ponds, Manthe said.

The buffer applies to the
retention ponds ponds
that typically permanently hold water. Detention
ponds, on the other hand,
hold water for up to 48
hours after a rainfall but
are usually dry, and dont
need the five-foot buffer,
as work crews are able to
maintain the pond basin
most of the time.
A third type, wet ponds,
are typically more work
than dry ponds or greenways. Manthe said the city
takes preventative measures to minimize the work
thats required once somethings not functioning correctly.
He said a rule of thumb
is to dredge ponds once the
average depth is three-anda-half feet, but each pond
has its own characteristics,
and dredging usually isnt
necessary.
If theyre maintained,
wet ponds are not too
bad, Manthe explained.
We vacuum out any sediment on the bottom instead
of dredging. A pond is
designed to go quite a few

years before you have to do
that kind of thing.
He said the goal is to
keep ponds functioning
properly. If they get too
much sediment from runoff, they wont drain properly and can flood during
heavy rainfalls.
We havent had problems, Manthe said. Our
ponds have been maintained well.
The city never uses
chemicals in retention
ponds to control the growth
of algae, he added.
Seeking a balance
Some residents on Eastwood Drive had complained about algae and
cattails growing in a nearby
pond.
Weve been working
with them to come up with
some solutions, he said.
Weve taken care of the
cattails, and youre going
to get algae in ponds no
matter what. Its natures
way. We want to make sure
to have a buffer to reduce
the algae growth thats
how we deal with it.
Manthe added the city

leaves the cattails alone
unless they get to be too
many and start to take over
the pond. The city monitors
ponds on a regular basis, he
said.
Algae is only a problem
in July and August, he said,
and its only an aesthetic
issue.
Wet ponds have an inlet
and outlet pipe, and ultimately drain into the citys
stormwater system and
eventually into the river.
Theyre designed to release
water at a slow rate and filter out sediments so the city
is not polluting the river.
Even during the heavy
rains of 2011 and 2008, our
ponds functioned well,
Manthe said.
He said the new policy
was drafted at the request
of the public works committee, so that if residents
are concerned about the
retention ponds or the
greenways, We can say,
Heres what our policy
is.

will be joined by Sup. Patrick Miles (Dist. 34) to help
host the Stoughton discussion. The group said it
plans to use the information
to develop future countywide transit initiatives.
In 2013, the state eliminated Dane Countys ability
to integrate transit through
a regional transit authority.
Wisconsin is the only state
that does not allow such
authorities to exist, making
integrated transit systems
difficult to initiate and manage, according to the news
release.
Input from these sessions will help drive Dane
County Board discussions
on future options and/or
support for area-wide transit, the release read.

Letters to the editor
One Christian does not speak for all

The Rev. Albin Fortney, late
pastor of the now vanished Our
Saviors Lutheran Church here in
Stoughton, had a favorite saying:
I may be wrong, but Im never in
doubt.
He often proclaimed this ironically with a twinkle in his eye,
knowing full well, and humorously,
that in fact, doubts included, he
knew he was occasionally wrong
and was able to laugh at it.
Ron Dobie (Aug. 6) believes he
speaks for all America and all of
Christendom. He ignores what a
complex and diverse thing those
two things are.
You have an America full of liberals and conservatives, Muslims,
Buddhists, scientifically grounded
Catholics led by a Pope who warns

about climate change, progressive Christians, Jews, neo-agnostic
meditators, Hindus, realistic Patriots, Atheists and Agnostics and
nones, and yes mystics who attend
the mysteries without defining
them (the list is endless, but not
confusing) a beautiful patchwork
of belief and practice, even within
the Christian church itself.
Dobie believes he speaks for all
Christendom and all America. He is
wrong. But is not in doubt.
Father Albin had the grace of
humor, tolerance and irony.
Traits seemingly absent in Dobie.
Steven Fortney
Stoughton
Believers must stand up against attacks

In reference to Steve Fortneys
letter (July 30), I join Mr. Dobie
(Aug. 6) in taking exception to
Steves comments that state that
Gov. Walker is not called of
God, that there are multiple gods
and suggests that a book, left
unnamed, should be reread.
It is good and well that he wants
to disagree with Walker on politics. Then his comments should
be referencing his political stance.
Where he is out of line is when he
wants to take issue with his religious views. If he feels called to
be president, this is not ours to
question. We can only question
his political views because we
dont agree.
I can only applaud Steve when
he encourages people to read
and reread a certain book.
However we can only guess the
book he is referencing since
he is reticent to even name this
book. If I can guess the identity
of this book, it is about much
more than care of the poor and

the selfishness of the rich. A fresh
reading of this book will reveal
this. To believe otherwise is a sectarian and narrow view.
Critique his politics rather than
a subjective judgement of whether
he is called.
He may have read about people
who claim there are multiple gods,
but to the contrary there is but
one God. Different people simply
make God to be what they want
God to be rather than who God is.
I would hope that many more
people of faith would respond to
this denouncement of ones beliefs
in God. Ministers and believers
should be like-minded enough
to make a distinction between an
attack on believers as opposed to
not supporting their politics. Such
rhetoric deserves to be answered.

Hwy. 51: Public meeting will focus on improvements

Continued from page 1
improvements that will address
safety, congestion, and bicycle and pedestrian issues along
the corridor and determine the
associated impacts, the department said in a news release. The
meeting will be held at Stoughton High School, 600 Lincoln
Avenue. A short presentation is
scheduled for 6 p.m.
The public is encouraged to
attend the meeting, provide input
and ask questions, the news
release read. The meeting will
provide a comprehensive update
on what has occurred since the
last public meeting in 2012,
and explain WisDOTs updated
approach and schedule for the
study.
According to the project website, officials had prepared a draft
environmental impact statement
for the project that was ready at
the end of 2013. However, federal fiscal constraint measures
required that the project be funded within six years of filing the
environmental impact statement.
Based on statewide priorities,
it was determined that the US 51
corridor alternatives proposed in
the DEIS could not be funded in
their entirety within six years,

the studys website read.
In previous years, the study had
four alternative options for corridor, ranging from minor safety
and pavement improvements to a
full four-lane bypass that skirted
along Hwy. B to the east side of
Stoughton. Years of public meetings drew praise and criticism for
the various options.
WisDOT officials now plan to
make short-term safety and operation improvements and take a
tiered approach to the long-term
corridor study. More significant
changes such as a bypass will
be part of the longer-term study.
The longer-term study is expected
to continue in 2017 with a draft
published and a public hearing.
In 2018, officials expect a decision to be made about whether to
move forward with the project.
In order to get feedback on the
project, the WisDOT will again
work the local officials and property owners along the corridor to
determine how to proceed with
the long-term improvements.
In the meantime, the shortterm environmental assessment is
expected in the spring or summer
of next year.

It is encouraging that fewer teenagers are learning how to drive, or are putting off learning until
somewhat later, when their judgment is probably much better. Many cities and towns are
making their streets safer and more convenient
for walking, riding a bicycle or using public
transportation. Perhaps in the future many of
us wont need to own a car to get around. If you
are going to drive, you should do it well. Driving
safely and cooperatively with the other people
on the road says a lot about your character. I
have often wondered if Jesus was around today
whether he would drive a car, or perhaps ride a
bike, or just stick to walking. The New Testament
portrays Jesus as frequently walking, and scholars have estimated that Jesus may have walked
over 20,000 miles in his 33 years on earth. The
one instance where he rides (Matthew 21) has
him riding on a colt (or perhaps a donkey) into
Jerusalema pretty humble ride for the King
of Kings. Perhaps Pope Francis is right in his
choice of vehicles, a used 1984 Renault which
was donated to the Vatican. No need to be driving
anything too fancy. And regardless of what kind
of car we drive, we should all follow the rules of
the road and be extra cautious around motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, all of whom are
imperiled by careless drivers. So buckle up, keep
your eyes on the road, your hands on the wheel,
and your head out of your apps!
Christopher Simon
And what does your Lord require of you? To act
justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with

Volunteers help clean up debris after the Stoughton Tornado.
Tornado: For some, financial, physical, emotional effects of the storm lasted several years
Not all dark

For some people who
were there, the images
arent all about fear and
dread.
Barbara Lowe recalls
helping to reunite a family with a pet they thought
theyd lost forever.
She and some of her family members spotted a dog
roaming on Williams Drive
shortly after the storm and
saw it again the next day in
her neighborhood.
We dont know how
he (had) gotten over here,
whether he got carried by
the tornado or hed just run
like crazy from his owners, she said.
Though she couldnt get
the dog to come to her or
let her read the collar tag
around his neck, eventually
the Dane County Humane
Society led her to the owners, who lived near the
Stoughton Country Club,
around a mile away, and
they made a joyful reunion.

The owners cried, we
cried, the dog cried, Lowe
said. The dog went crazy.
He yipped and howled and
his tail was going a million
miles an hour.
Others have fond memories of all the help they
received in the days after
the tornado hit.
Liggett recalls finding one of his daughters
many lost personal belongings while working side by
side with volunteers who
showed up to help clean the
debris and brush after the
storm.
To me, the clean-up is
where the biggest blessing occurred, Liggett said.
(There was a) sea of volunteers that came over that
Friday and Saturday and
Sunday and literally were
picking things up out of the
grass to where our yard was
raked a couple of times.
Our daughters bedroom
was completely destroyed.
We never found her dresser
or anything like that. She
was actually starting her
senior year in high school,
and someone actually found
her class ring, he added.
The help of the many
volunteers stuck in Jason
Kellnhofers mind as well.
Kellnhofer and his wife,
pregnant with their first
child at the time, had all
of their buildings either
destroyed or damaged
makes going
BACK TO SCHOOL
minus their house.

What I remember the
most is how everyone
helped, he said. People
would stop by and ask you
if you needed groceries and
there was a ton of people
out to help.
Sue Skjolaas recalls having a can-do attitude about
the whole thing.
She wasnt home when
it hit; shed been helping
her brother harvest tobacco
on his farm south of Utica,
jokingly referring to it as
vacationing, and had seen
the funnel cloud from off in
the distance.
Upon arriving home, her
first thought was how much
clean-up work she was in
for.
Youve just got to grab
your bootstraps and keep
going You cant have the
yard a mess, you know?
Skjolaas said.
A new normal
Some tornado survivors
have had to keep going
for a long, long time.
Liggett took a while to
adjust to what he calls his
new normal.
Even simple things, such
as getting back into the
routine of going into work
every day and keeping a
morning schedule proved to
be a challenge as he and his
wife juggled raising their
three children and rebuilding their home over the next
eight months.
For a period of time
after the tornado, I ended
(up) having to leave work
early and take days off
because we had to make
decisions about rebuilding
our house, Liggett said.

You know, the stuff thats
usually fun, but you have to
make decisions quickly on
what kind of carpet do you
want.
And his family is still
adjusting to the loss of
so many of their personal
belongings and mementos a
decade later.
For a period of time, and
even now youll catch yourself, you think to yourself,
wheres this? We dont
have that, we lost it in the
tornado. The tornado takes
all of that, Liggett said.
Kellnhofer said he
doesnt have emotional
issues with the tornado, but
it affected him financially
for quite some time.
You lose things, and you
dont insure them for what
theyre exactly worth, he
said. Replacing everything
that got hit can set you back
a ways.
Amy Wendorf knows that
all too well. She has a house
payment again, after having
paid off her home five years
before the tornado hit.
The tornado ripped the
roof off of her house as she
took shelter in the basement
with her son, a volunteer
fireman who left right after
the storm to go survey the
damage and help the fire
department stabilize the
area.
Because the remaining
portions of her house were
condemned, Wendorf and
her husband built a new
structure over the foundation. Insurance covered
part of the rebuilding, but
they still found themselves
$90,000 short, causing
them to take out another

15-year loan.
Skjolaas had to deal with
financial issues, too, as a
result of a misunderstanding with her insurance company. Finally a $90,000
Fair Banking Advisors loan
helped them rebuild all the
buildings on their property.
But she shrugged off her
troubles compared to others
who were harder hit.
I cant really say its
made a difference, she
said of the tornado. Things
happen.
Paul Goemans spent time
adjusting to having relatives call and check up on
him for months after theyd
heard a tornado had touched
down in the Stoughton area.
This was all before the
days of instant social media
like Facebook, so it went on
for months afterwards, with
people asking me about
it, Goemans said. Id tell
them I was okay, but I did
see the funnel cloud.
Trouble with trees

One area that wont be
back to normal for a long
time is the loss of the many
mature trees in the area.
Ironically, it was trees
like those that kept Wendorf from seeing the tornado coming in the first
place. Now many of them
are gone.
Before the storm, her
green fence of trees provided so much separation
from her neighbors, her
mother hadnt even realized anyone was back there.
Now, having replanted the

In Dane County, the

twister caused 89 houses
to be leveled or damaged
beyond repair, with another
67 badly damaged and 85
more receiving some level
of property damage, racking up a total of $43 million
in losses, as reported by
Dane County Emergency
Management.
The majority was home
damage, totalling $35.5
million, with $5 million
going to farms and crops,
$2 million going to utilities
and $200,000 to businesses.
As with any major event,
other agencies were on the
scene quickly, and a total
of 56 fire departments
came from as far away as
60 miles between Thursday
night and Sunday morning.
Stoughton police werent
responsible for the scene,
as it was in county jurisdiction, but officers helped
with traffic control and limiting access throughout the
weekend.
Initially, dispatch lines
were cut, making it difficult
to sift through the chaos
of the situation, said thenpolice chief Pat OConnor.
Overall, it took nearly
18 months for the Stoughton Fire Department to finish its part of the cleanup,
which it eventually handed
off to the towns.
Ed Minihan, Dunns
board chair, said the towns

crews had roads cleared by
the next day, but he knew
theyd been hit hard.
When youre dealing
with people who are sitting
on the rubble that used to be
their home, thats difficult
to do, he said. You feel
for the people you know.
The devastation was pretty
heavy on this one, but they
rebuilt, which means they
want to live here.

Tornado: Some have turned the experience into positive, learning and planning ahead
biggest trees they could as
part of the rebuilding process, shes only in the last
couple of years had any
shade on her lawn and been
able to put up a hammock.
Otherwise, we felt like we
were living on the prairie,
Wendorf said.
Skjolaas and her husband,
Doug, had bought their farm
on Williams Drive because
of how old and vintage the
decades-old trees made the
property look.
But only her home made
it past the twister, sustaining only some roof damage
and windows being blown
in, while her outbuildings
and trees were obliterated.
Like Wendorf, her property
still isnt the same without
the old maple and ash trees
which theyve since replanted with young ones.
The greatest loss in this
whole thing is the trees,
Skjolaas said. You can
replace anything. You can
replace any building, any
roof; you cant replace a
100-year-old maple tree or
an 80-year-old ash tree or
better.
Its just so wide open.
Breeding fascination
Witnessing the awesome
power of nature was captivating for some.
Goemans saw the tornado
only because he had taken
the week off to grieve the
death of his wife. He otherwise would have been at
work, but instead, he ran
back and forth between
his TV and the outdoors to
check the sky.
After finally getting a
light bulb moment to seek
shelter when the sky turned
green, he later ran back outside with his camera.
It was sort of an adrenaline rush, seeing that Ive
survived this and now I see
it going away, he said. It
was more excitement than
anything else.
Ashley Vedvig watched
the storm from inside her
aunt and uncles house, and
began brewing a passion for
observing severe weather
and storm chasing.
That led her to a 12-day
trip to the Great Plains in
2013, where she, along
with a group of students
from UW-Whitewater, got
to experience all sorts of
severe weather throughout
their 6,000-mile trip.
Out of my fear grew fascination, Vedvig told the
Hub later that year.
Kellnhofer wanted to
learn more about being
ready for the next time and
took a storm spotter training
class.
I know what to look
for now, he said. They
give you basic information
on what formation clouds
looked like, and knowing
how to understand radar.
You can go outside and see
if youre danger or not.
Lessons learned
Natural disasters such as
the Stoughton Tornado are
unavoidable; emergency
unpreparedness, however, is
not.
Soon after the tornado,
multiple improvements and
safety protocols were put in
place to increase preparedness for both emergency
responders and residents.

opened an emergency operations center in its Common

Council chambers after
developing an emergency
plan that focused on eliminating some of the challenges first responders experienced.
The lack of reliable communication with the dispatch**
ers proved to be the most
frustrating, OConnor said.
Having everything organized to have a coherent
response was the most difficult, the former police
chief said. In times like
that, communication is what
suffers the quickest.
The emergency operations
center now holds equipment specifically set aside
for major occurrences that
require having consistent
communication between all
emergency responders.

Minihan was thankful
Dunn workers didnt have
much of a learning curve
when it came to dealing with
tornado cleanup. The town
had been through a tornado

it wasnt able to get much
assistance from the county
then.
This time, he said, the

Winder Fuentes is welcomed home by teammates after he scored the game-tying run on an error in the ninth inning of Saturdays Southeast Section game at Utica.
Stoughton defeated Utica 6-4 to win the section and earn the top-seed for the playoffs. The As were knocked out of the playoffs with the loss.
Bittersweet finale
Merchants lock up
top seed, knock As
out of playoffs
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Depending on which
contingent of Home Talent
League baseball players with
Stoughton ties you were routing for Saturday at Utica Fest,
most everyone went home
with some sort of mixed feelings.
Whether it was Utica after
squandering a four-run lead
or Stoughton for being in
position to need to comeback
for the 6-4 victory.
While the Stoughton Merchants knew they were in the
playoffs regardless of the outcome of Saturdays Southeast
Section finale, the host Utica
As entered the annual Utica
Fest game with a completely
different mindset.
With a victory, the As
were not only guaranteed
themselves a spot in the playoffs, but would overtake the
Merchants as the top-seed
and home-field advantage.
A Utica loss, however,
meant the teams season was
over.
We knew we were already
in the playoffs no matter
what and I think that took
some of the pressure off us,
Stoughton manager Dale

Seffens said. Our guys kept
their heads up and kept playing hard and it paid off.
Down four runs entering
the seventh inning, Stoughton
began their comeback with
a pair of T.J. DiPrizio and
Winder Fuentes RBI singles
to score Tanner Klitzke and
Rory Menzer.
While the top of the Merchants order had hit the ball
hard all day, theyd struggled
to drive in runs.
Thinking changed in the
top of the ninth with the game
on the line, however, as Menzer walked before DiPrizio
and Fuentes singled to load
the bases.
Clean-up hitter Max Fuller,
who lined out with runners in
scoring position in his previous at bat, came through in
the ninth, scoring one on a
sacrifice fly. An alert Winder
Fuentes then scored on a second run on the ensuing Utica
error to tie the game.
Jake Wenzel and Klitzke
added insurance runs in the
inning with a pair of RBI
singles before Erick Sperloen
shut the As down in the bottom of the inning.
Sperloen threw 150 pitches, allowing four earned runs
on 10 hits and three walks for
the win. He struck out five.
We let it go, Utica manager Dale Vike said. There
were some questionable calls,
Utica first baseman Brad Ashmore cant handle a throw from

catcher Kevin ODonnell on a ball off the bat of Brad Knickmeier in
the eighth inning Saturday.
but we made mistakes and put

ourselves in bad situations.
Utica pitcher Kyle Bates
surrendered six earned runs
on 11 hits and three walks in
the complete-game loss. He
struck out two.
Utica is always a big
game. Theyre probably our
biggest rival, said Seffens

who has never lost at Utica
while coaching the Merchants. We wanted to lock
up home field. To be able to
do it against Utica was great.
Despite faltering late on
defense, Utica looked well in
control through five innings,
building a 4-0 lead.

Leading 1-0 after a Kevin
ODonnell sacrifice fly the
second, the As tacked on
three more in the fifth highlighted by Doug Vikes tworun single with the bases
loaded.
Ben Hildenbrandt added an
RBI single in the inning to put
the As fully in control.
Though Utica (11-5) finished the season with a better
record than Lake Mills (106), the As couldnt steal the
Grays spot because they lost
the head-to-head match up.
I think we only had our
full roster for two games, but
I thought we were playing
good ball and coming around
at the right time, Dale Vike
said. But we made a couple
of mistakes and lost a couple
of games during the regular season that we probably
shouldnt have and in a 16
game schedule, every game
counts.
Stoughton hosts Lake Mills
at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The Merchants are hoping
for a better go round this postseason than last, when despite
having home-field advantage
they fell to Albion in the Sectional semifinals.
Fort Atkinson hosts Albion
in the other semifinal game
Sunday. The winners then
square off Aug. 24 in the sectional final game.

Opera House: Revenues up $600K from 2006, big names to return this season
Season highlights
Most of the artists coming to the Opera House in
the next nine months perform acoustic music, but
not all. Rock bands like
the BoDeans, blues guitarist Sonny Landreth and his
electric trio, and Dave and
Phil Alvin with The Guilty
Ones will definitely plug
in, Dollhausen said.
She pointed to facing
pages 12-13 of the 201516 season brochure as an
example of the musical
diversity in the line up: The
Wood Brothers, chanteuse
Peyroux, the iconic Godfather of Americana David
Bromberg and his quintet,
and renowned Celtic fiddlers Natalie MacMaster
and Donnell Leahy.
The artists are booked for
performances from Nov.
6 (The Wood Brothers) to
Nov. 18 (MacMaster and
Leahy).
The Wood Brothers is
one of the shows that Im

really looking forward to,
Dollhausen said.
Brehm feels the same,
and notes the trio made
their debut appearance last
year and put on a stunning
performance that one of his
friends an avid concertgoer called the greatest
show hes ever seen.
Dollhausen cites traditional roots multi-instrumentalist Charlie Parr as another of
her personal favorites.
Whenever I get a chance
to see him, whether its out
in the gazebo at the Catfish
Festival or on the Opera
House stage, hes wonderful soul and musician, she
said. Also John Jorgenson
and David Bromberg those
are two shows that Ive
wanted to have here for a
while and it finally worked
out. Theyre both top-notch,
fantastic musicians whove
had long-lived careers.
Some of Brehms most
anticipated shows also
include Bromberg and Jorgenson a Madison native
whos enjoyed a stellar
career in Nashville as well
as Dave and Phil Alvin,
and the nine-time Grammy
Award winners Asleep at
the Wheel, who play country music.
He also mentioned the
Swiss trio The Kruger
Brothers, scheduled to perform April 16 next year.
They play music thats
kind of bluegrassy, kind

of classical and kind of

folk, Brehm said. Theyre
amazing. One of the Kruger
Brothers is easily the best
banjo player Ive ever seen.
Support from the city

Brehm credited the citys
support in making the Opera
House a viable, vital performing arts center and a
key to the citys creative
economy.
He observed that many
downtown business owners
have recognized the economic boost brought about
by the venue, as it draws
thousands of visitors to the
community each year.
Brehm noted city officials
budget to help cover part
of the salaries of the Opera
Houses three staff members.
In doing so, the city sees
a really good return on its
investment in the Opera
House, he said. I think
were having a positive economic impact, even if the
citys contributing dollars
for the personnel.
Our goal is to develop
and raise funds through the
Friends Association in order

to keep us from having any
kind of fiscal impact on the
citys general fund, Brehm
added.
The facility had revenues
in the area of $700,000 last
season a far cry from the
roughly $100,000 it garnered in 2006, the year
before Brehm and Dollhausen took over management
of the Opera House, and
also a hefty increase from
the $400,000 in revenue
from the 2010-11 season.
The Opera House is
doing really well financially, Brehm said.

Brehm and Dollhausen

told the Courier Hub deciding which artists to book for
a 60-show season involves
a number of factors: member suggestions, artist managers recommendations,
past experience, personal
preference and some guess
work.
We definitely keep our
ears and eyes open to the
audience, Dollhausen said.
If theyre walking out
with big smiles and saying things like bring them
back, we pay attention.
Brehm added theres an
element of crystal ball
gazing in determining
whom to book. An example
is jazz singer Madeleine
Peyroux someone who
is really amazing, but
we didnt have any idea
whether people would be
on board with that, he said.
But the initial rush of ticket sales showed that she has
a huge fan base and people
are really looking forward
to it.
He compares scheduling
the season with throwing
a party and not knowing if
anyone will show up until
party time.
In our case, thats our
members on-sale date,
Brehm explained. Thats
really when we get the best
indication about whether
our membership and the
general public are feeling like weve made good
decisions about who weve
booked.
Judging from the data,
it appears that Brehm and
Dollhausen have done a

performers alike. That

explains why so many of
the upcoming seasons
shows are repeat performances.
If we get them here
once, they want to come
back, Dollhausen confidently said.
Tickets for the Opera
Houses 2015-16 season go
on sale for the general public at 9 a.m. Monday, Aug.
17. (Members of the Opera
House got a chance to buy
tickets two weeks before
the general public.)
A short list of artists
returning in the 2015-16
season, which runs from
September to June, includes
Tom Rush, The Wood
Brothers, Jeff Daniels with
the Ben Daniels Band, Marty Stuart & His Fabulous
Superlatives, Del McCoury
Band, Rhonda Vincent and
the Rage, Peter Yarrow,
Iris DeMent, Asleep at the
Wheel and many more.
But there are also some
well-known performers
wholl make their debut
here in the new season,
which features some 60
shows (with a few more that
will be slipped in during the
season). Artists wholl be
coming to Stoughton for the
first time include: Shawn
Colvin, Dave and Phil
Alvin with the Guilty Ones,
The Larry Keel Experience,
David Bromberg Quintet,
Natalie MacMaster and
Donnell Leahy, John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band,
and Ray Wylie Hubbard,
among others.
