Slick season
The National Weather Service reported over four
inches of snow dropped in the area Nov. 20-21 - a
boon for opening weekend of rifle season, but a
bane for drivers.

Opera House trends

Unified Newspaper Group

November has been one of the

Stoughton Opera Houses best
months on record for ticket sales and
revenues. And the venues 2015-16
season is expected to be as financially
successful as last years.
Thats part of a trend that has seen
the historic performing arts theaters
activity level and popularity increase
steadily since 2007.
Opera House director Bill Brehm
said he hasnt been able to determine
precise numbers for total revenues,
but estimated that figure at just
north of $600,000 for last season
and expects the same for this season,
which runs July 2015 to July 2016.
Numbers he was able to provide
include the reserved tickets sold, at
19,960 (not including day-of-show
tickets). He expects that number to

be roughly the same this year, just as
with the number of reserved-seat performances, between 65 and 70.
After five years of steep increases,
those numbers, along with revenue
from tickets, memberships and donations, have hit a plateau over the past

three years, Brehm said, because the

operation is doing about all it can
with a staff of one half-time and two
full-time employees.
To some degree, weve leveled off
at what our capacity is given our current staffing levels, he said.
The Opera House had scheduled
eight ticketed performances this
month, and it sold out five of them.
But in practical terms, Brehm said,
seven of the eight shows were sellouts.
Both Michael Perry and David
Bromberg sold well over 400 seats in
a capacity of 475, Brehm explained.
So as far as were concerned, seven
of the eight shows in November sold
out. The last band, Im Not a Pilot,
is an indie group from Milwaukee
and not nationally recognized, so we
planned for less people at their show.

While 75 years is a lifetime for many people, it

went awfully fast in the
case of Slinde Interiors.
The Stoughton business
celebrated its 75th anniversary earlier this month
at its 200 W. Main St.
location, where its been
providing flooring installations and window treatments since 1957.
It feels quick, said
Susan Slinde, who owns
the business along with
her husband, Keith.
They inherited it from
Stan, Keiths father, who
founded the business in
the basement of what is
now the Wendigo building, and are in the process
of passing it onto their
own son, Stuart.
The business commemorated its anniversary on
Friday, Nov. 13, which
would have been Stans
birthday, with a visit from
the Stoughton Chamber of
Commerce ambassadors
and a ribbon cutting.
It was fitting to honor
him, Susan said of the
date choice. Were just
kind of carrying on for
him, and then paving the
way on for our son.
Keeping a small business

alive often requires help

from every corner of the
family. Just like his son,
Keith remembers helping
out in the store growing up
a fact that will make the
father-to-son transition for
a yet another generation
that much easier.
Though there have
been plenty of big jobs
and major changes within
the flooring and window
industries, keeping Slinde
in a community like
Stoughton has been a key
to its sustained success,
Susan said.
Stoughtons been really good to us, she said.
We appreciate Stoughton
and we try to give back
when we can.

Growing up in it
Keith Slinde was
raised in the business as
his father Stan moved it
around the city, always
keeping it in Stoughton.
The nice thing about
Stoughton is a lot of our
customers are the third generation also, Susan said.
Were working for third
generations of people.
After Keith and Susan
had moved away to Neenah for a few years, they
eventually returned in

Asked and Answered

Who is the fourth party in KPW?

Question: Ive heard that
the developers of Kettle
Park West got together and
created a company so that
the fourth lot at KPW could
be purchased before the
deadline (Aug. 31), thereby meeting the conditions
of the development agreement. Who is the fourth
party in KPW?
Answer: The fourth company is called Lot 4-Kettle
Park West, LLC.
There is a complicated
relationship among the companies behind the KPW
development. JSD Professional Services president
Dave Jenkins is a partner
in all of them. He and others formed Kettle Park West
LLC to assemble and develop the properties at the northwest corner of U.S. Hwy. 51
and State Hwy. 138.
Then Jenkins and associates established Forward
Development Group, led
by development manager
Dennis Steinkraus, to be in
charge of shepherding the
project through the citys
approval process.
Steinkraus acknowledged

that Jenkins is involved in

City officials expect to

save $125,000 in employee
insurance costs in 2016 and
more the following two years
after the Common Council
last month approved changing insurance brokers and
health care providers.
The council agreed to
change from a self-funded
insurance plan to a fully
funded plan with DeanCare
HMO. The council also
changed the citys insurance broker, opting to leave
Tricor and instead go with
Cottingham and Butler, who
was recommended by human
resources and risk management director Amy Jo Gillingham.
The city has used a selffunded insurance program
for years, she said. Under
the old plan, the city paid
employees health insurance
claims as they were received,
and carried insurance only
for claims over $45,000.
Under the new fully funded arrangement, the city will
pay an insurance premium
for each employee every
month to DeanCare HMO,
and the company will pay
employees health costs.
Its like regular insurance, said city finance
director Laurie Sullivan.
Under the plan adopted
in October, which goes into
effect Jan. 1, out-of-pocket
costs will be reduced from
a maximum of $4,100 for a
single individual to $1,500,
and from $8,200 for a family
to $3,000 in 2016.
Cottingham and Butler
projected a total three-year
savings of $485,000, assuming no increase in claims and
a 5 percent increase to fixed
costs.
Sullivan explained that
over the years, the city saved
money under the self-insured
plan, but thats been changing over the last few years.

Four town budgets passed as proposed

There were no additions,
subtractions or changes in
2015-16 proposed town
budgets for Dunkirk, Pleasant Springs, Rutland and
Dunn, which were passed
during last weeks annual
budget hearings. The meetings were sparsely attended
by town residents.
Tax bills, with numbers
for all taxing jurisdictions,
will be mailed in midDecember.

Dunkirk
In the Town of Dunkirk,
which held its budget hearing Nov. 16, residents will
see an 0.01 percent increase
in the town portion of their
property tax bill around
$2 more for the owner of a
$200,000 home. The expected mill rate is $2.81 per
$1,000 of assessed property,
a slight increase from the
2015 rate of $2.80.
In an email to the Hub last
week, supervisor Ted Olson
said the budget is basically
the same as last years.
There just isnt any
more money, with levy
limits, he said.
Scott De Laruelle

Pleasant Springs
In the Town of Pleasant Springs, which held its
budget hearing Nov. 17,
residents will see a 2.4 percent decrease in the town

portion of their property

tax bill around $6 less on
the tax bill for the owner of
a $200,000 home.
Town of Pleasant Springs
clerk/treasurer Cassandra
Suettinger, who noted that
two residents showed up
for the meeting, said there
are no big changes in this
years budget, though the
town is dedicating more
funds to road work.
The town will be funding the additional road work
with a combination of borrowing and funds received
from ATC in 2011 for the
Rockdale-Middleton Transmission line, she said.
The town plans to (spend)
the ATC funds in the next
5-7 years to allow for more
funding for roads.

that, she said.
When the council
approved the citys 2015
health insurance plan, it
directed Gillingham to compare costs for insurance brokers and carriers for 2016 to
determine if the city could
save money with a new
approach.
At the councils Oct. 13
meeting, Gillingham reported that shed spent a year
looking into three insurance
brokers the citys incumbent, Tricor, Cottingham &
Butler, and MC Insurance
and asked for quotes and services from each.
She gave all three an
opportunity to present
options to herself, Sullivan
and Mayor Donna Olson.
Tricor and Cottingham and
Butler also appeared before
the Personnel committee.
Cottingham and Butler
did an excellent job providing alternative healthcare
options along with savings
for both the city and employees, Gillingham said.
The company determined
that many city employees
were already using Dean
doctors and services, and so
the broker met with DeanCare HMO and was able to
save the city over $100,000
in the first year and more in
years two and three, Gillingham said.
The city also received a
three-year rate guarantee
through DeanCare HMO,
which means the city will not
be changing insurance carriers for the next three years.
With them, well have
the same benefit plan that
employees have today but
at a better cost, Gillingham
said.
The city plans to use some
of the savings next year to
help fund overtime hours at
the police department and
also daytime duty crew hours
in the fire department.
As health care costs rise,
we recognized that we need
to make some major changes
in how we provide health
care to our employees,
Mayor Donna Olson said.
Cottingham and Butler rose
to the top as providing the
most savings for the city.

richer harmonies, putting a fresh spin on classics that all concertgoers
are likely familiar with.

since learned to play all
types of guitars, as well
as banjo, mandolin, ukulele and baroque lute. He
teaches guitar and ukulele

Stoughton Food Pantry vice president Mike Hager

said that in September, the pantry assisted 183
families 305 adults and 174 children giving out
12,444 pounds of food. He said 20 new families
applied for assistance at the pantry in September.
For the first nine months of the year, the pantry
has given out more than 180,00 pounds of food;
usually helping around 185 families.
Its been really consistent this entire year, Hager
told the Hub Monday.
In addition to Nowlins efforts, the pantry recently
received several large food donations from the Girl
Scouts (1,800 pounds of food) Kiwanis (1,400) and
Stoughton High School (3,500). He said the pantry
also recently received a $5,000 grant from the
Stoughton Area Community Foundation that allows
them to purchase food, and a $750 check from
Roundys.
Weve been extremely blessed by the people of
Stoughton; theyve really helped us out, Hager
said. Weve spent $80,000 in cash this year,
beyond donations, so our job is to kind of raise
$80,000 this year. We get the most donations in
November and December, so we run a deficit all
year, then hopefully catch up and start the new
year.
Hager said the pantry is in need of volunteers. For
information on the program, call 873-8103 or visit
the citys website at ci.stoughton.wi.us

The last time Christopher Allen performed at the

Stoughton Public Library,
he walked away with an
appreciation for a venue that
he says is the perfect setting for a classical guitarist.
Its a nice quiet place
and a very appreciative
crowd, Allen told the
Courier Hub. The instrument fits the building!
As part of the Music
on the Mezz free concert
series, Allen will return to
the library at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5 with a program
featuring an assortment of
traditional works, contemporary Latin compositions
and, of course, a few holiday arrangements as well.
The concert, funded
by a grant from Beyond
the Page, is partially a
homage to the acclaimed
Spanish classical guitarist Andrs Segovia, Allen
said. He will perform several works, known as preludios americanos, composed by Uruguayan guitarist Abel Carlevaro, who
studied under Segovia.
While Segovia remains
a prominent influence for
classical guitarists around
the world, he has a special
connection to UW-Madison, where Allen is currently working towards his
doctorate: Javier Calderon, an internationallyrenowned guitarist who
founded and heads the universitys guitar program,
was also former student of
Segovia.
A performance of several movements of Cuban
composer Leo Brouwers
suite "The Black Decameron, titled The Harp of
the Warrior and Flight
of the Lovers Through the
Valley of the Echos, will
follow.
Allen said he plans to

Back in 1982, Stoughtons

Pat Nowlin and the Union
Motorcycle Club decided
to help out the community
by giving back and letting them know we werent
a gang or anything by
donating food to the citys
food pantry.
More than three decades
later, many of the members of the club are gone,
and Nowlin no longer rides
(hes been legally blind since
2002), but hes still carrying

The fundraiser started as a

pool tournament in 1982, and
the motorcycle club raised
$200. At first, they asked
around the local bars and
liquor stores for door prizes
for the tournament, then later
expanded the program to ask
for food and monetary donations.
A bunch of us wanted to
do something for the community, and the food pantry
fit the bill, Nowlin said.
Anyone who uses the pantry is from Stoughton.

adno=397569-01

The shooting and killing of nine people engaged in a Bible study this past
June in a Charleston church basement was horrific on many levels. How
anyone could do such a thing was beyond comprehension for most of us.
But what strained our comprehension even more was the reaction of love
and forgiveness by family members of the slain victims. Forgiving such a
heinous crime requires a deep and abiding faith, and was so morally and
spiritually beautiful as to bring many of us to tears. Out of tragedies such
as this, God works miracles, and the miracle here was how a young man
hoping to bring strife and division to our country actually brought a show of
love and unity. There will always be hate and haters among us, but love is
stronger and more pervasive, and ultimately more effective in overcoming
hate. We are reminded of Jesus words on the cross: Father, forgive them,
for they do not know what they are doing. (Luke 23:34 NIV) And remember,
its easy to forgive the little stuff; the real task is to forgive the seemingly
unforgivable.

Laughing all the way

Cinderella parody to debut onstage during Victorian Holiday

Kate Newton

If You Go:

Unified Newspaper Group

More than a decade after Bonnie Balke played the wicked stepmother in a 1999 Madison Theatre Guild production Gadzooks!
Cinderella! (It Aint Shakespeare) production, she recalls
the experience as the most fun
(shes) ever had on stage.
So when playwright Nick Schweitzer contacted her to see if
they should dust off the show
and produce an updated version
for the stage, Balke, now board of
directors president for the Madison-based Mercury Players Theatre, didnt hesitate to sign on as
producer.
And while the show will be
making most of its run at the
Bartell Theatre in downtown
Madison, its set to debut at the
Stoughton Village Players Theatre as part of Victorian Holiday
weekend with two shows slated
for 7 p.m. on both Friday, Dec. 4
and Saturday, Dec. 5.
The Village Players offered to
host the show as a benefit for the
Stoughton and McFarland food
pantries (the ticket price is a suggested donation of $10, with all
proceeds benefiting the pantries),
Balke said, and gave the Mercury
Players an opportunity to expand
beyond Madison.
We said (the benefit) sounds
like a wonderful idea, and will also
allow us to open the show out of
town, like all the big Broadway
shows do, Balke said with a laugh.
Directed by Stephen F. Murray,
Gadzooks! Cinderella! is modeled after a British-style holiday
panto, a centuries-old stage genre

What: Mercury Players Theatre

presents Gadzooks! Cinderella!
(It Aint Shakespeare)
When: 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4
and 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5
Where: Stoughton Village
Players Theater, 255 E. Main St.
Info: Ticket price is a suggested
donation of $10 (proceeds benefit
the McFarland and Stoughton
food pantries);

that blends a simple, well-known

plot with topical humor, slapstick,
music and dance. This rendition
calls on the audience to interact
and sing along with the characters from the moment they step on
stage.
In a panto, cross-dressing is

commonplace: Cinderellas wicked stepmother is played by Max

Ducey, while the two stepsisters
are played by Alec Moeser and
Alex Singer. Balke said the play
should entertain children and
adults alike with its playful, irreverent take on a story thats not

only a classic, but seeing a resurgence in popular culture as of

late. References to Shakespeares
greatest hits are also incorporated throughout, with more than
a hint of irony considering pantos
were considered lowbrow in
Shakespeares day.

Lowbrow, though, serves

well during the holidays, Balke
said, because its a light alternative to the usual stage fare.
When you think about it, the
normal stuff that we get is The
Nutcracker and A Christmas
Carol, and both of those can be
pretty darn dark! Balke added.
So this is just an excuse to go to
the theater, have a lot of fun, hoot
and holler when the heroes come
on stage and boo when the bad
guys do.
Balke said that once theatergoers get over the foreign
idea but commonplace during
Shakespeares day that theyre
allowed to make noise and participate in the show, youd be
amazed at what they will do.
Just that were that harkening
back to that kind of a presentation, is very appropriate, Balke
said.

Ask The Stoughton

Q. My filling fell out. What should I do?

A. Tooth enamel helps protect teeth from daily use such as chewing, biting, crunching, and grinding.

It also insulates teeth from potentially painful temperatures and chemicals. Although enamel is a hard
protector of teeth, acid can cause it to wear away. When enamel erodes, the tooth is more susceptible
to cavities or tooth decay. Small cavities may cause no problems at first. But as cavities grow and
penetrate the tooth, they can affect the tiny nerve fibers, resulting in painful abscess or infection. A
few tips to help prevent enamel loss include: Brush and floss daily, and visit your dentist for regular
checkups and cleaning. Eliminate highly acidic foods and drinks from your diet such as carbonated
sodas, lemons, and other citrus fruits and juices. Rinse mouth immediately with water after consuming
Thor J. Anderson, DDS acidic food/drink. Use a straw when you drink acidic drinks. Monitor snacks. Your mouth remains
acidic for a few hours after eating foods high in sugar and starches. Avoid snacking unless youre
able to rinse your mouth and brush teeth. Chew sugar-free gum between meals to boost saliva production. Drink more water
throughout the day. Fluoride strengthens teeth, so make sure your toothpaste contains fluoride. Ask us about daily fluoride
mouthwash if you have a history of cavities. Ask if sealants may be helpful in preventing enamel erosion and tooth decay.

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

Q. Keith and Stuart. What is new in window treatments?

Q. What is influenza and why is it more dangerous for seniors?

A. Influenza, also known as the flu, is caused by a virus, or a germ. While most people

Q. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Physical Therapy Versus Surgery

A. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis affects up to 11% of our current population. As baby boomers continue

CARIN JOHNS
Physical Therapist

to age this number will double. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis is a narrowing within the spinal column that
causes increased pressure on the nerves and spinal cord. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis is due to degenerative
changes as we age and symptoms include difficulty tolerating walking with pain into buttock and
legs, which resolves when sitting. A new study in the April 2015 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine
compared 150 patients who underwent 6 weeks of physical therapy versus those who underwent surgery
for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis for pain management. At the patients two year follow up, the study found
that for pain management and patient function, physical therapy alone was equally effective as surgical
intervention. Physical therapy intervention included education on diagnosis and exercises, which
allows the patient to manage pain more effectively on their own. What is learned is that although some
cases are severe and require surgical intervention, there is good evidence that physical therapy can
reduce symptoms of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, allowing more independence with pain management and
tolerance to walking, without the need for painful, and sometimes high-risk surgery.

recover in 1-2 weeks from the flu, others develop serious lung infections. This type of
flu complication can land one in the hospital, and also lead to Pneumonia, Bronchitis
and other serious infections. More than 60% of seasonal flu-related hospitalizations and
90% of related deaths occur in people 65 years and older. The flu is a greater concern for
the elderly because, as we get older, our immune system becomes weaker. This makes it
easier for seniors to get the flu, and much more difficult to fight off complications from
it. Ask your doctor if you should get a flu shot and when to get it. You can go to your
local clinic or even the local pharmacy to receive your flu shot. Nows the time to set up
your flu shot appointment because most medical experts recommend you get a flu shot
in November. In general the flu season begins in December and can last until spring.
If you wait until the midst of flu season to get a shot, these antibodies in the flu shot
wont have enough time to develop immunity from the flu. According to the National
Institution on Aging, Medicare will pay for a flu shot.

tournament.
Dow now only was able
to train and wrestle in a
Greco-Roman tournament
in Vasteras, Sweden, but he
also came away with a silver medal helping Team
USA finish third overall
with 20 points.
It is a good confidence
builder for me, Dow
said. Some of the things
I learned I can come back
and show the other guys in
the (SHS wrestling) room,
help our team and the
community.
Dow finished 7-1 and
made the 69-kilogram
championship against Erik
Soini (Huddinge, Sweden).
Dow lost that match by
technical fall 14-3.
Dow, who was in the
Cadet Division, won his
first seven matches of the
tournament.
He defeated Max Ringstrom (Pan, Sweden) 8-0,
Edward Skog (Ostervala,
Sweden) 9-0, Sebastian
Lundell (Vasteras, Sweden) 8-0, Veikko Roysko
(Helsingin Tarmo, Sweden) 3-0, Anton Ritola
(Snar, Sweden) 8-0, Calle
Norberg (Heby, Sweden)
6-1 and Leon Rylander
(Enkopings, Sweden) 2-0.
Dow said it was a big
accomplishment to make it
through his bracket, which
featured about 30 wrestlers.
Huddinge won the tournament with 32 points,
while Nyland (Sweden)
took second with 20 points,
winning the tiebreaker over
team USA by the number
of silver medals.

Our cadets came to

wrestle, with four guys in
the finals and two champions, U.S. coach Rob Hermann said in an interview
on Mat.com. Fifty percent
of the U.S. wrestlers have
not competed overseas
before. What a great way
to start their international
career.
Nine senior athletes
made it to the second day
of competition. Every athlete had three to six matches. It was a total Team
USA effort to earn third
place.
Team USA did claim
the Cadet Division with 14
points. The Senior Division
was fourth overall with six
points.
That is what we dream
about, every kid and the
senior level athletes - doing
good as a team and as individuals, Dow said.

Making the trip

Dow was contacted along
with several other wrestlers
by USA Wrestling to compete in a tournament overseas a few weeks before
the trip, and he jumped at
the opportunity.
Dow was in Sweden for
10 days, participating in
training the week before
the tournament. It was a
six-hour drive to the venue,
which allowed him to see
the countryside. Dow said
the entire experience is
something he will remember for a long time.
I think all the experiences were good - the
friendships I made over
there, meeting new people
and soaking in everything
that I could, he said.

The Icebergs girls hockey

co-op finished 13-9-2 overall and third in the Badger
Conference at 5-5-0 last
year. From goaltending to
scoring and coaching, this
year will presents the Icebergs with even more questions than originally anticipated.
Gone from last season
is three-time Jesse Vetter
award winner given annually to the states top goaltender Kenzie Torpy, who
was also named Ms. Hockey
by the member coaches of
the Girls Wisconsin Hockey
Coaches Association.
Torpy played in all but
one game in net for the Icebergs, posting .950 save percentage, 1.58 goals against
average and eight shutouts
in 25 games. She posted a
13-10-2 record on the season.
Taking over for Torpy
will be a trio of inexperienced options in Hannah
Smith, Sydney Urso and
McKenzie Nisius.
Offensively, the Icebergs
will be without Stoughton senior forward Casey

11 goals and 18 points.
Senior forward Savannah
Kopf returns as the only other Icebergs tops scorer with
six goal and eight assists
from a year ago. The only
other returner who scored at
least 10 points last season is
defenseman Samantha Eyers

Kopf and McFarland
defense Maddy Hess return
as the teams lone two
seniors.
Also gone is head coach
Mike Jochmann, who left
in favor of the Oregon High
School boys vacancy.
Stepping in for Jochmann
this season is Carl Helmich
who started the foundation
of what became the Icebergs
several years ago. Helmich
has been a long-time coach
and advocate for womens
hockey, with 14 years of
experience coaching womens hockey at various levels.
He has worked with
developmental skaters to
coaching the University of
Wisconsin-Whitewater program from 1997-1999, as
wells as with former NCAA
D1 and USA AAA Hockey players. Helmich will
bring a Master Level - USA
Hockey Coach credential to
the program and will look
to instill fundamentals of
the game, respect and communicate the value of girls
hockey and the Icebergs.

The Icebergs once again

will have low numbers with
just 13 girls on the team.
Having such a short
bench will give us a chance
to learn how each other
plays, Kopf said. Well
need to get close and work
together in order to be success.
The Icebergs defeated the
rival Badger Thunder 2-1
in the opening round of the
WIAA playoffs last year
before falling to top-seeded
Onalaska 3-2 in the second
round.
Onalaska won the sectional for the fourth straight
year last season, but fell
6-2 against the University
School of Milwaukee co-op
in the first round. Despite
the Hilltoppers dominance
of the sectional, the graduation of defenseman/forward
Jacyn Reeves following last
season could open things up
this year.

The Icebergs opened the

up with a 15-0 loss against
Fond du Lac and a 7-1 loss
against Northland Pines.
Colette Pollard scored
three goals and added an

Lisa Cramer chipped in two
goals and an assist.
Hannah Smith stopped 23
of 34 shots on goal, while
Mekenzy Hoisington posted
four saves en route to a shutout for United.
Already a short bench, the
Icebergs depth grew a little
less in the second game last
weekend thanks to a pair of
injuries.
Smith turned away 26
shots in the loss to Fond du
Lac, which scored six times
in the first period, five more
times in the second and four
goals in the third.
Alexis Shanklin cut into a
3-0 lead by Northland Pines
with Stoughtons first goal
of the season 6 minutes into
the second period. It was as
close as the Icebergs would
come as Northland Pines
scored four unanswered
goals over the remaining
period and a half to closeout
the game.
Smith stopped 18 shots on

Vikings open the season with inexperience in goal

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

The Stoughton boys hockey team finished 8-15-1 overall and 4-6-0 in Badger
South action last year to place fourth
behind Madison Edgewood (10-0-0),
Oregon (7-2-1) and Monona Grove (6-31).
With an influx of young talent and
inexperience between the pipes, how the
Vikings fare this season remains to be
seen.
Among the keys to Stoughtons
improved success this season will be
continuing to find ways to get the puck
in the back of the net.
A key in this regard for the Vikings
last season was honorable mention allconference forward Jackson Breton, who
posted 17 goals and 18 assists. Back for
his sophomore season, Breton will be
even more important on the ice this winter.
The Vikings will need someone to
step up as a secondary scorer, however, with Arin BonDurant (15G, 19A)
and honorable mention forward Jacob
Fitzsimmons (9G, 11A) graduating following last season.
Junior forward Zeth Zeichert and
seniors forwards Max Quale and James
Browning figure to be the next logical

choices.
Zeichert posted seven goals and 11
assist, good for fourth on the team in
points last season, while Quale finished
third on the team with 11 goals. Browning was only the fourth player on the
Vikings last season to post double-digit
goals, scoring 10 times to go along with
five assists.
Senior forward Zach Kirby (3G, 2A)
and junior forward Justin Gibbons (2G,
3A) round out the returners up front,
while senior Nathan Varese (3G, 11A)
should lead the Vikings on the blue line
following the graduation of second-team
all-conference defenseman Robby Volk.
The Vikings biggest question however may come between the pipes this
season where Stoughton is lacking experience. Junior Daniel Howell and freshmen Carter Hellenbrand, Carson Roisum
and Adam Falk will all battle for time in
net this season.
Freshmen forwards Nolan Stapelfeldt
and Sam Wahlin will also be counted on
early and often this season.
While every team has question marks
on its roster in preseason, the defending
Madison Edgewood Crusaders continue
to be the perennial favorite. Monona
Grove and Oregon also have a good core
of returning talent and should battle atop
the conference with some rookie talent.

Greendale 4, Stoughton 2
Stoughton took a two-goal lead late
in the first period Saturday but failed to
score again, falling 4-2 against Greendale inside the Wilson Park Recreation
Center.
Gibbons answered a Greendale goal
25 seconds into the first period with a
power-play goal 11 minutes later. Quale,
who assisted on Gibbons score, gave the
Vikings their first lead a little less than
two minutes later.
Despite playing through a scoreless second quarter, Stoughton watched
things come unglued in the third as Bailey Beirle scored on the power play and
added an even-strength goal to help the
Ice Force posted three unanswered goals
in less than seven minutes to pull out the
win.
Freshman Carson Roisum played 50
minutes in his first start, turning away
33 of 37 shots on goal. Junior Konner
Ondriezek made 44 saves for Greendale
in the victory.
Stoughton traveled to Telfer Park in
Beloit on Tuesday for a non-conference
game against the Purple Knights. The
game was after the Courier Hubs early
Thanksgiving deadline. The Vikings
continue the season at 7 p.m. Saturday
at home against the Madison La Follette/

Opera: Memberships increase nearly tenfold from 2008-09

Continued from page 1
While it was difficult for
Brehm to give precise revenue and ticket sale numbers for the Opera Houses
recent history, available
numbers show reserved
ticket sales increased from
5,700 in the 2008-09 season
to 19,960 in the 2014-15
season that ended in July.
The number of annual
memberships has grown

from 139 in the 2008-09

season to 1,166 last season,
while the number of annual ticketed performances
increased from 18 to 65 in
the same period.
The Opera House season
schedule runs from July to
July, which can complicate
budgeting because the citys
fiscal calendar year of January December.
This season to date, we
are exactly at the number

of tickets that we had projected to sell up to this

point in the season, Brehm
observed. It seems that
were very much in line
with the finances we had
last year and are doing really well.
Brehm, who along with
his role as director of the
Opera House is also the
citys Media Services
director, told the Common
Council in October that the

venues revenue from ticket

sales may be down slightly
in the budget, but thats
only a reflection of fewer
shows.
We tend to add shows as
the season progresses, he
explained, so it could be
at the end of the year well
come out with the same
amount of revenue as last
year. Right now, things are
looking on target for another successful year.

The Stoughton High School band shared the stage for a bit

SHS band performed two songs by itself before the Madison
College band joined it on stage for Ave Maria. The Madison
College Band then played five of its own tunes.
