Q&
Hub: Is there reason for hope for the bat population relating to
white nose syndrome?
Redell: Theres a nationwide and international collaborative effort
among different agencies and researchers to address white nose syndrome. Because of the nature of the disease and how bats behave and
what they require, were looking at a number of options. There are
various treatments that are being trialed in lab settings and also in the
field. Were involved in a number of those projects in Wisconsin.
Were anticipating that theres not one method for controlling the disease but a number
of channels to follow to attempt to treat sick bats or control the disease or prevent it from
spreading. That could be looking at vaccinations or decontamination of a hibernation site,
like a mine, or treating the bats themselves as they hibernate to try to prevent the spread of
fungal growth. Those are all things that are being looked at right now.
is likely.
Once officials have a
better idea of the bat situation, theyre likely to follow a recommendation that
Redell made at last Octobers council meeting that

Last October, the Common Council was persuaded to reject a staff recommendation to hire a company to attempt to bat-proof
the City Hall and Stoughton
Opera House.
Instead, the council
sent the matter back to the
Finance Committee for
more discussion. Since
then, Opera House director Bill Brehm has worked
with a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources conservation biologist
whos also a bat specialist,
Jennifer Redell, to determine the best way to keep
bats from roosting in the
theaters attic.
In a February memo to
the citys leadership team,
Brehm wrote that with
Redells help, We have
confirmed that there is a
small colony (10 or less) of
large brown bats that hibernate in the attic during the
winter.
He said Redell referred
to it as a bachelor colony
because it is a small, allmale population that probably frequents several other
roosts in the neighborhood
during the warmer months.

Revolutionary health
plan is what we need
T
he recent Democratic
debates have not presented
the best opportunity
for either Sanders or Clinton
when it comes to explaining
their competing health
care plans for
America.
Bernies plan
basically is the
Medicare for
All bill, supported by progressives for
Davis
years in our
Congress. This
plan would revolutionize healthcare into a single-payer system
in the United States. The federal government would tax individuals and employers, and with
these taxes, pay all the health
care bills for every man, woman
and child in America.
In a recent poll, 51 percent of
Americans support the idea of
a single-payer system, while 37
percent oppose it.
Clintons plan is basically
trying to improve on Obamas
Affordable Care Act by charging
additional taxes to pay for incremental changes and expansion of
that system. Basically, Clinton
would keep the present broken
healthcare system of insurance
companies, drug companies and
for-profit and nonprofit hospitals
in control.
The single-payer, Medicare
for all has gotten nowhere in
the past because of continued
campaign finance corruption,
whereby healthcare special interests dump bags of money into
the political campaigns of politicians supporting the status quo.
Clinton repeatedly asked
Sanders: Where does the money
come from? How much does it
cost? Will it raise taxes? And,
of course, she states her plan is
superior to Sanders.
Sanders plan, including additional taxes, is on his
website, hiding in plain sight
at berniesanders.com/issues/
Correction
A story in the Feb. 25 issue of the Hub about an energy grant for Stoughton Trailers included a photo of
a welding handle that was misidentified. The handle is not part of the RoboVent equipment. The mistake
was due to a miscommunication while the reporter toured the facility. The Hub regrets the error.
More flexibility
Last Sunday, 209 people visited the library during the
four hours it was open, according to a press release from
the library board, including Lisa Resch, who said she was
happy to be able to bring her daughter to the library on a
Sunday since she works on Saturday.
Another mom, Katie Holt said, Its so nice having the
flexibility to come when we want. Phil Hindman, a dad
with two kids who recently moved to the area, said we
missed not being able to come to the library on Sundays.
Whether the library is able to stay open on Sundays this
fall depends on funding from the city, MacDonald said,
which means competing for limited dollars. Schaefer,
noting that the city funds many important services, said
library officials hope that through the program, they have
demonstrated community support for the additional library
funding.
MacDonald encouraged residents to show their support
for Sunday hours by calling their local alders and sharing
their experiences at the library.

The Stoughton High School wrestling team finished the season as the a WIAA Division 1 team state runner-up for the second straight
season, going 23-3 in duals. The Vikings lost to Kaukauna in the finals 29-27.

Kahl finished with 11
points and four rebounds, but
none were bigger than her
game-clinching one at the end
of overtime.
We do a pretty good job
defensively, but you have to
finish the possession when
you play good teams. We
saw a very good team Saturday. You have to rebound the
ball, Pickett said. You cant
just stop the shot goes up
and now you are done. You

and I think we do a pretty

that goes.
And despite the rest of the
offense not having the best
day, the girls were able to do
just enough to get past Union
Grove. Hobson finished with

Halverson had six points and

down 15-0, and he picked up the first
with with a decision over junior Konnor
McNeal. The Vikings went on to win
30-25 to clinch a spot in the state final.
In both duals, Haried was one of the
catalysts, and he was the only Viking
after 160 pounds to win twice.
We all know how hard we work in
practice, and I think it is really starting to
show in our last couple of duals, Haried
said. I am really proud of our guys.
Junior Kaleb Louis then faced sophomore Jacob Schramm at 120 pounds, a
match where Louis continually went for
a pin. Louis was unable to get the bonus
points, but he did win 7-5 to put Stoughton up 27-23.
Junior Garrett Model started the
match off at 138 pounds and won a 2-0
decision over sophomore Zach Lee.
We had a lot of guys show up
and a lot of guys that just came in and
improved from the last time they wrestled just to get us to these finals, Kraus
said. I think we have been improving,
so I am proud of that.
Seniors Tommy Tobias, Key Cook,
Sam Michel, Brady Anderson, Joe Jensen, Kraus, Austin Sobojinski, Haried
and Jacob Groleau all graduate from this
team with Kraus, Groleau, Haried and
Sobojinski leaving spots open on the
starting varsity lineup for next year.
This has been a special team. It is
going to be really hard to watch these
seniors go, Dan Spilde said. It is a
team that hung together and worked
together in the offseason. They have
done all the little things right, and that is
why it is hard to watch them walk away
with a silver because I think if you are
looking strictly at work ethic I think they
earned a gold.
Despite the holes the seniors leave for
next year, there is a huge core coming
back, including starters Lewis, Klein,
Louis, Jenny, Cade Spilde, Model, Dow,
Helland, Pasold and Marshall.
A lot of teams wish they had as many
guys coming back as we do, so we just
have to find a way to capitalize on that,
Dan Spilde said.

officials are seeking input from the community to highlight the 15th annual Volunteer of the Year.

can say I'm doing them without
you one day at a time. So this is

years in prison and a maximum
of $10,000 in fines. He has a

Lessons in love
Stoughton High School Performing
Arts transported audiences to 19thcentury England and into the mix of
a very complicated love story during its run of Pride and Prejudice
last weekend. Romance ultimately
triumphs, but plenty of drama and
dancing takes center stage first in the
adaptation of the classic story.
Above, left, Mr. Darcy (Gabe Ross)
makes an imposing figure in an opening act from the play, but his softer
qualities are soon revealed.
Above, right, the younger Bennet sisters welcome Jane (Mallory Giesen,

Above, the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane (Mallory Giesen) and the charming Charles Bingley
(Connor Roisum) become smitten with each other from the start.
Mary Bennet (Emalyn Bauer) seems to be the only sister who can
tolerate the plentiful quirks of Mr. Collins (Joseph Skotzke).

Lead: Elevated levels of lead forced water shut-off at school for six months

at a rate of about 1,200 to
2,400 feet per year but will
replace around 3,500 feet
this year.
In addition to the pipe
replacement which
include smaller service
pipes that feed individual
homes Kardaz said the
citys naturally hard water
and routine flushing helps
ensure any possible lead
does not dissolve into the
water.
In recognition of leads
high toxicity, in 2012 the
Centers for Disease Control
cut in half the amount at
which a childs blood lead
level requires reporting and
possible intervention, from
10 micrograms per deciliter to 5. But the nations
standard for lead in public
drinking water has not been
updated since 1991, when
the Environmental Protection Agencys Lead and
Copper Rule took effect.
The federal law aims to
keep lead levels in water
city that would be most vulnerable to lead contaminations sites we know have
lead laterals, Kardasz told
the Hub.
Testing to continue
The Wisconsin DNR has
oversight over public water
utilities, which must provide drinking water that
meets state and federal
health standards. Stoughton
will sample its water again
this year as part of a routine
compliance testing, Kardaz
said.
adno=456033-01
6,200 Wisconsin households may be drinking public water that exceeds the
federal standard.
Some of the areas with
the highest number of sites
testing above the maximum
allowed levels were Lake
Mills (20 percent of those
sampled), Columbus (18
percent) and Mount Horeb
(16 percent), according to
WCIJ analysis.
Of the states nearly
21,000 recent test results,
202 exceeded 50 ppb, more
than three times the federal standard. The states
highest value was recorded
in 2012 in Mount Horeb:
9,370 ppb.
