Family-owned Haunted Barn to close after 10 years
Victoria Vlisides
Unifed Newspaper Group
Larry Twining doesnt keep skel-
etons in the closet.
We keep em hanging in the
garage, he says, with a grin.
Thats nothing new to the Twining
family, which has owned and operated
a seasonal Halloween attraction, The
Haunted Barn of Stoughton, for the
past 10 years, and will make this year
their last.
What will be weird for the fam-
ily who loves all things haunted is not
having skeletons and any other terrify-
ing props around their 11-acre farmette
off of U.S. Hwy. 51. Larry, wife Kris,
and children Tyler, 13, and Traci, 17,
will put on their biggest Haunted Barn
experience yet starting this weekend.
With a crew of around 80 people
including security, scare actors, and
parking attendants, the estimated
9-acres of scare includes two haunted
barns, a cemetery, mausoleum and
woods. Thats grown from their first
year with just a handful of staff and part
of one barn to attract around 4,000 peo-
ple in their previous seasons.
Its a lot of work, and a lot of
expense, said Larry, whos passed on
a love for spooky Halloween tricks and
haunted fun to his family.
The Twinings look back fondly
on a decade of scaring the crap out of
visitors. Yet, they barely have time to
reflect while getting ready to premiere
their biggest haunted barn yet, which
they began preparing for in February.
They have a lot of volunteer help in
preparation, too, such as Stoughtonites
Bill Burrington and Jennifer Slack
whove been helping out for the past
four years.
Its another full-time job, said
Burrington, whos a dump truck driv-
er.
Even though the business can be
mentally and physically draining, Kris
said building a haunted house each
year has been rewarding.
Theres that electricity in the air,
and theres nothing else like it, she
said.
But, the family admits, it does
come at price and not just the $18
fee of admission. They havent had

Kris (directly above) and Larry Twining
and their kids Tyler and Traci will put on
their 10th and last year of the Halloween
attraction the Haunted Barn of Stoughton. It
includes two barns, a cemetery and haunted
woods.
City of Stoughton
Report: Add HR,
IT directors
study on city operations and structure
suggests other big changes
Bill liVick
Seven mont hs aft er
the city commissioned a
$30,000 report on mod-
ernizing its organization-
al structure, city leaders
plan to take their time
deciding on and imple-
menting its suggestions.
Among t he r ecom-
mendations of the report,
released this month, are
hiring a human resources
director, an information
technology director and
possibly an administra-
tor to improve operations
and create a better work-
ing environment.
Under the citys cur-
rent setup, the city clerk
also serves as the person-
nel director and informa-
tion technology is largely
the responsibility of the
media services director,
wi t h some addi t i onal
duties assigned to the
planning department.
The council commis-
sioned the study in hopes
of endi ng a game of
musical chairs thats tak-
en place in the city clerk/
per sonnel di r ect or s
office in the past couple
of years.
In February, the coun-
ci l suppor t ed Mayor
Donna Olsons request
to hire consultant Baker
Tilly Inc. to conduct the
study when clerk/person-
nel director Nick Probst
resigned after less than
one year on the job.
Pr obst s pr edeces-
sor, Kelly Michaels, had
also resigned after only
nine months. Prior to
Michaels arrival, Luann
Alme held the position
for seven years.
Because things have
changed so dramatically
in light of Act 10 and all
of the election changes
of the past few years,

Bike the Barns
Bike the Barns took place two weeks ago Saturday and included a stop in
Stoughton. Even though the weather was the coldest its been in a while, around 57
degress and there was a bit of rain, bikers had a blast.
The 70-mile full ride visited four farms and highlighted Blue Moon Community
Farm in Stoughton. The event raised more than $32,000 to benefit community sup-
ported agriculture (CSA) farms around south-central Wisconsin in support of the
Coalitions Partner Shares Program, a community initiative to improve access to
fresh, local fruits and vegetables that also supports small family farmers.

STOUGHTON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
ASBESTOS NOTIFICATION
FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND STAFF
September 2013
To Whom It May Concern:
Federal legislation requires that employees and
building occupants be informed annually regard-
ing asbestos inspections, response actions, and
post-response action activities.
180 DAY PERIODIC SURVEILLANCE
All asbestos-containing materials within the Stough-
ton School District buildings are inspected every

An ongoing, comprehensive Operations and Main-
tenance Program is in effect including continual
six-month inspection by trained personnel to assure
that all asbestos-containing building materials re-
main in a good, non-friable condition and pose no
health risk to building occupants.
The asbestos management plan is available for
your review during normal offce hours at each
school as well as the district offce.

Town of Rutland
Tower lawsuit tossed, but case may go on
seth JoVaag
Hub correspondent
A Dane County judge last
Monday shot down another
attempt by a Tomah compa-
ny to build a 488-foot radio
tower in the Town of Rut-
land.
But the years-long saga
involving Magnum Commu-
nications might not be over
yet, according to the com-
panys attorney.
Magnum filed the lawsuit
against Rutland and Dane
County last October, asking
Judge William C. Foust to
overturn a 2011 decision by
town officials blocking the
company from building the
tower in a farm field between
Oregon and Stoughton near
Old Stage Road. The tow-
er would service a future
Stoughton-based FM radio
station.
By denying Magnums
claim last Monday, the
judge basically agreed that
we acted legally, said Dale
Beske, chair of the Rutland
town board.
However, company own-
er Dave Magnum is still
mulling his next steps, said
his attorney, Michael P.
Screnock of Madison firm
Michael Best and Friedrich.
Magnum could appeal the
judges decision or start over
by submitting a new appli-
cation with Rutland to build
the tower. A new application
could have a better chance of
success, following changes
to state law this spring gov-
erning communication tow-
ers, Screnock said.
It seemed to us that the
judge was suggesting that
(applying again) may be
the more reasonable step to
take, Screnock said.
Opponents of the tower
have claimed the tower
would mar the rural land-
scape and harm nearby prop-
erty values.
Magnums suit claimed
the town and county boards
overstepped their authority,
as Dave Magnum said his
application met all local and
county ordinances.
The tower would service
FM channel 95.9 WBKY,
currently in Portage. The
change from Portage to
Stoughton was approved by
the Federal Communications
Commission in April 2006.
Prior to voting down the
tower in 2011, town officials
faced pressure from nearby
municipal and school offi-
cials including in Stough-
ton and Oregon to approve
it. Proponents said a radio
station could improve com-
munication in the event of
emergency and pave the way
for local broadcasts of foot-
ball games and other sporting
events. And theyve noted
Rutland already has three cell
phone towers.
The site is owned by sib-
lings Sue Wollin and David
Soldwedel, who have agreed
to sell Magnum the land for
the tower.
The si t e was chosen
because it fits inside a
small segment of land that
wouldnt interfere with other
area FM radio frequencies,
Magnum has said.
Stoughton Area School District
District seeks residents ideas
survey focuses on
schools future,
budget shortfall
scott de laruelle
Stoughton Area School
District officials are look-
ing for ways to improve
students learning opportu-
nities, expand community
partnerships and fund the
schools, and next month
theyll ask district resi-
dents for their help.
School board members
approved funding the sur-
vey at their Monday night
meeting. It was drawn up
by district staff and board
member s, and shoul d
arrive in mailboxes next
week. Residents can take
the paper version or online.
The sur vey must be
completed by Oct. 20.
The sur vey, si mi l ar
to one conducted by the
district in 2009, will ask
questions about student
learning, communication,
partnerships and funding
and include open-ended
questions where residents
can share their ideas and
suggestions. It also fea-
tures questions about how
the district should address
a shortfall that will occur
once t he r ef er endum
approved by voters in 2010
expires at the end of June
2014. That expiration will
create a shortfall of more
than $3.3 million in next
fiscal year alone, accord-
ing to the districts projec-
tions.
The school board i s
set to review the survey
results at its Oct. 21 meet-
ing. District superintendent
Dr. Tim Onsager said there
are important decisions
to be made this year about
what kind of school district
and community residents
want.
We are always looking
for input about how we
can better serve our fami-
lies and our community,
he said. This survey will
provide important feed-
back about how we can
communicate more effec-
tively with our stakehold-
ers, enhance the quality of
education we provide and
meet our fiscal challenges.
This survey will start that
conversation.
To receive a second sur-
vey for another adult in the
household, people can call
the district at 877-5002.
People can drop off com-
pleted paper surveys at a
school office or mail them
to: School Perceptions,
319 E. Washington St.,
Slinger, WI, 53086. All
feedback will be confiden-
tial.

Work in progress
St at e Super i nt endent
Tony Evers said the reports
offer valuable information,
and a starting point for
planning improvements.
Addi t i onal l y, report
cards show how Wiscon-
sin can continue to refine
its accountability system
to truly serve the educa-
tion community, parents,
pol i cymaker s and t he
public, he said in a press
release.
SASD administrator Dr.
Tim Onsager said hes very
pleased with the results
and very proud of the staff.
These scores are a tes-
tament to their hard work
and dedication, he said.
Our progress from last
year has been outstanding,
but our work is not com-
plete. We must continue
t he i ni t i at i ves we have
launched to improve learn-
ing for all students.
Survey, meetings seek feedback on regional growth plan
MARk IgNATOwSkI
Ar e a r e s i de nt s wi l l
have several chances to
see how regional growth
might shape the Stoughton
area during the next few
decades.
T h e Ca p i t a l Ar e a
Regional Planning Com-
mi ssi on wi l l hol d t hree
meet i ngs over t he next
two weeks to gather public
feedback on future growth
areas i n t he St ought on
region. The commission is
also taking a survey about
what types of growth area
residents would like to see
based on existing condi-
tions and projections put
together by staff and local
leaders.
Municipalities will use
t he dat a t o shape t hei r
comprehensive plans and
make deci s i ons about
future land use. In the next
two-and-a-half decades,
planners estimate about
7,000 new residents will
move to Stoughton, creat-
ing a demand for nearly
1,200 acres of developed
land.
Meetings will be held
Sept. 30 at the Stoughton
Fire Department, Oct. 2 at
the Town of Dunn town
hall, and Oct. 10 at the
Town of Dunki rk t own
hall. Each meeting starts at
6:30 p.m. with a presenta-
tion at 7.
The meetings are part
of the Stoughton Future
Urban Development Area
(FUDA) planning, which
i nvol ves t he ci t y and
four surroundi ng t own-
ships. The commission has
been attempting to create
FUDAs for municipalities
around Dane County for
several years.
Residents will have a
chance to create a neigh-
borhood, CARPC l ead
pl anner Dan McAul i ffe
told the citys Planning
Commission earlier this
month.
We let users say, If I
had a neighborhood com-
prised of this type of hous-
ing mix, what would the
impact be? McAuliffe
said. Its a much more
interactive method.
The survey asks resi -
dents what type of hous-
ing, commercial develop-
ment, parks, transit ser-
vices and redevelopment
theyd like to see.
In addition to the three
open houses, some focus
groups will be set up at the
senior center, McAuliffe
said. Online versions of
the survey can be found at
capitalarearpc.org/Stough-
ton_FUDA.html.
We pl an on col l ect -
ing data for about a month
before we present the find-
ings back to our steering
committee in November,
he said.
The publ i c meet i ngs
will gather a wide range
of public input, but plan-
ners have al ready used
background data and inter-
views to form an estimate
of what growth in the area
might look like. Since the
planning process began in
2012, planners have col-
lected information through
stakeholder interviews
and formed reports about
exi st i ng condi t i ons of
community development,
natural resources and agri-
cultural resources.
Th o s e s t a k e h o l d e r s
include residents, business
owners, farmers and civic
leaders from the city and
surrounding towns.
The mont hs of i nt er-
vi ews and dat a crunch-
ing have yielded a lot of
useful data, city planning
and development direc-
tor Rodney Scheel told the
Planning Commission.
Theres a lot of signifi-
cant, important data avail-
able to us, Scheel said.
You see how your choic-
es can impact growth in
this community.
Growth embraced
More t han 20 peopl e
were interviewed as part
of the initial stakeholder
meet i ngs, accordi ng t o
documents presented by
McAul i ffe t o t he ci t ys
Planning Commission.
For example, the inter-
views showed that while
theres a perception that
t he area does not want
development, most said
growt h i s good for t he
community particularly
families with children.
Interviewees said theres
a need t o i mpr ove t he
empl oyment bas e and
expandi ng t he busi ness
park is a good way to bring
jobs to the area. There was
support for local business-
es, but also for more retail
opportunities.
Th o s e i n t e r v i e we d
expressed a desire for more
options for senior housing,
as well as high-end hous-
ing. They also said athletic
facilities and access to the
Yahara River would make
the area attractive.
A n o t h e r c o m m o n
response was that improve-
ments to U.S. Hwy. 51 are
needed, as is more cooper-
ation between municipali-
ties.
Creating the plan
As part of the process,
planners studied current
and future land use maps,
environmental documents,
housing trends and trans-
portation plans to develop
an idea of future growth in
the area.
Ther e ar e st i l l many
st eps t o go bef or e t he
FUDA plan is complete.
McAul i ffe wrot e i n an
email to the Hub that CAR-
PC staff plan to collect and
analyze the responses at
the end of October. The
analysis will be presented
to the steering committee
in early November.
The committee will use
the information to create a
future growth plan for the
area. Municipalities can
then use that growth sce-
nario to help shape their
own comprehensive plans.
Were now approach-
ing the finish line we can
kind of see it, McAuliffe
said. But theres still a lot
of tasks to go.

Mirror Neurons & Why Love
Engenders Love
Mirror neurons are nerve cells in the brain
which fire both when the individual acts
and when the individual observes someone
else doing the action in question. They were
discovered by Italian neurophysiologists
in the 1990s who were studying hand and
mouth movements in macaque monkeys.
What they discovered, almost by accident,
is that the neurons controlling these move-
ments became active when the monkeys
saw people picking up food and eating.
Since then, mirror neurons have been found
in many areas of the brain and it has been
proposed that large areas of the human brain
may act in a similar way, explaining why we
suddenly feel happy when we see someone
laughing and smiling, or why we might flinch
when we see someone trip and fall. Perhaps
this is the explanation for why emotions tend
to engender similar emotions in others and
has been proposed as the neural basis for
empathy. Of course it doesnt take a brain
surgeon or a rocket scientist to know that
happy people make others happy, while
angry or anxious folks make others angry or
anxious. So, we should try to be happy, be
lovable, and make the world a better place by
smiling at everyone you meet.
Christopher Simon for Metro News Service
A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but
heartache crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 15: 13

The August Yard of the Month has been distinguished as a certified natural wildlife habitat, due to the many hummingbirds and butterflies
attracted to the yard.
Yard of the Month a certified natural wildlife habitat
The Stoughton Heritage
Garden Club has chosen the
yard of Roni Christian to
be the August Yard of the
Month. Lush groupings of
vibrant perennials, flower-
ing bushes and protective
trees attract many hum-
mingbirds and butterflies to
this serene natural setting.
In fact, Roni has intention-
ally developed her gar-
dens over the years for that
very purpose. As a result,
her yard has been distin-
guished as a certified natu-
ral wildlife habitat. A love-
ly gazebo blends into the
landscape allowing nature
lovers to observe in com-
fort and wildlife to enjoy
the tranquil surroundings
undisturbed.
The Heri t age Garden
Club meets the third Tues-
day morning of each month.

Shorthanded Vikings pick up three medals
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
St ought on gi r l s swi mmi ng
coach Elise McLaury knew, even
if healthy, her team was going to
have its work cut out for itself at
Saturdays Milton Invitational.
With three swimmers already
out (Eva Anderson, Mari Grady
and Alex Asleson) and fresh-
man Averie Ness coming down
with pneumonia the previous day,
however, team points were going
to be even harder to come by.
As a team our goal was to
get as many medals and per-
sonal bests that we could, said
McLaury, whose team finished
fourth overall in the Division 1
standings despite being short-
handed.
Wi t h D1 medal s awar ded
through fifth place, McLaury
said three Vikings stepped it up a
notch to make sure they finished
in the top three.
Senior Katherine Rude was the
star of the day, winning both her
individual events. Rude opened
the meet taking the 100-meter
individual medley in 1 minutes,
6.18 seconds before later adding
the 100 freestyle in 57.76.
It was great for her to be able
to swim different events and still
excel, McLaury said.
Senior Allie Niemeyer stayed
ri ght on t rack and t urned i n
Stoughtons next best finishes.
Niemeyer added a third-place fin-
ish in the 200 free (2:12.27) and
a runner-up finish in the 500 free
(5:49.55).
Sophomor e Sophi e Pi t ney
earned a bronze medal in the 100
butterfly (1:07.95) and also added
a fifth-place finish in the 100 IM.
All three of those girls had a
hand in the teams highest relay
finishes, earning medals with
a fourth-place finish in the 200

St ought on t ravel ed t o Fort
Atkinson, tied for first place with
Oregon, Tuesday looking to con-
tinue the type of play it showed
Monday in a 1-0 loss to Verona at
Reddan Park.
But head coach Dave Wermuth
said that he noticed the team was
tired and looked flat in practice,
and it showed in a 3-0 loss.
It also didnt help to have a
couple fouls, a red card and to be
outmanned 11-10 for most of the
game either.
They were able to take advan-
tage of that, Dave Wermuth said.
It is really hard to play on a field
with 10 guys when they have 11.
Fort Atkinson scored all three
goals in the second half.
Senior Hank Guzman finished
with five saves for the Vikings.
Stoughton continues the season
at 7 p.m. Friday against Mono-
na Grove at home in a Badger
South Conference game. It then
hosts Beloit Memorial at noon
Saturday.
Lodi quad
The Vikings traveled to Maus-
ton to play in the Lodi quad last
Friday, and they picked up a 4-0
win over Lodi and a 6-0 win over
Reedsburg.
Hank Guzman came out of the
net and scored twice in the sec-
ond half in the Reedsburg game.
Endre Krumholz picked up a goal
and an assist, and Dakota Andre,
Devi n Wer mut h and Nat han
Varese added goals.
Eri k Hansen col l ect ed fi ve
saves.
The offense continued against
Lodi with Varese, Devin Wer-
muth and Ethan Genter scoring
goals. Krumholz picked up an
assist.
Stoughtons other goal was a
Lodi own goal in the first half.
Hansen f i ni shed wi t h f our
saves.
Verona 1, Stoughton 0
Stoughton traveled to Reddan
Soccer Park to take on non-con-
ference Verona Monday and lost a
tough match 1-0.
But Dave Wermuth said the
game was one of the best he has
seen the Vikings play in a long
time.
The kids put their hearts and
soul into it and really played a
great game, he said. Besides the
one breakdown and the one goal,
we were either even in possession
or ahead. It was some of the best
soccer I have seen from these kids
since the beginning when they
started school.
Veronas senior forward Garrett
Grunke scored in the 68th min-
ute with an assist to junior Casey
Thompson.
Guzman finished with 10 saves.

Sorensen wrote in an email
that the girls started strong
with solid defense, with a
disciplined block, and ball

the girls couldnt keep the
momentum to put Oregon
away.
The excitement in the
gym was contagious, and
the crowd really helped get
the girls going, Sorensen
said. Unfortunately, we
had a hard time staying
in-system the rest of the
match.

Freshmen figure to earn top
seeds for Vikings heading
into Badger Conference meet
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
St ought on gi rl s t en-
nis traveled to Milton on
Monday where the squad
dropped the Badger South
Conference showdown,
5-2.
Freshmen Sarah Benoy
and Payton Kahl continued
to be the bright spot for the
team, pulling out a three
set victory over Zyann
Furseth and Maddie Erd-
man at No. 1 doubles.
Despite being unable to
close out to set points in
the first set, the team bat-
tled back to win 5-7, 6-4,
6-3.
That was a big win for
us and should help get us
a fourth seed heading into
conference, head coach
Ryan Reischel said. It
also keeps us in the run-
ning for a top seed at sub-
sectionals.
Fellow freshman Ken-
dra Halverson (7-7) added
the teams only other win
at No. 4 singles, prevail-
ing 6-3, 6-1 against Abby
Simes.
I think Kendra is 4-3
against conference oppo-
nents right now, Reischel
said. An early loss in
the season could possibly
preclude her from getting
a top six, but well see
where the draw gets us
Wednesday.
Th e Vi k i n g s we r e

Anna Nelson and Ting

I was pleased with how
all the girls swam and I
look forward to having a
full team back for our meet
against Fort on Tuesday,
McLaury said.
Fort 104, Stoughton 66
Stoughton was simply
unable to match the depth
of Fort At ki nson when
the team traveled there on
Tuesday.
It wasnt the best meet
weve had against Fort, but
we had some good swims
to clock in 11 personal
bests, McLaury said. The
score was a little lopsided
104-66, but they just had
more depth than we did.
Niemeyer was Stough-

and the 100 back (1:07.12).
Pitney had a strong swim
in the 100 fly (1:07.19),
taking second as well.
Kooima had super swims
in both the 200 and 500.
She took third in the 200
and then got out touched
by one-hundredth of a sec-

ing two seconds off her
previous best.
Hudki ns i mproved i n
both the 50 free and her
breaststroke to take second
in 1:18.57.
Anderson added a third
place finish in the 100 free
and runner-up finish in the
100 free (:58.47).
Rounding out the best
times from varsity were:
Olivia Lenz (200 free) and
Bella Lenz (100 breast).
Best times for the night
on JV came from Danielle
Hodkiewicz (50 and 100
free), Ellie Trotter (100
breast), Marissa Schime-

Swim: Vikings lack depth to compete in Fort dual meet
Football
Vikings earn revenge on Monroe
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughton forced four turnovers
Friday to secure its first Badger
South Conference win of the season
28-3 over Monroe on the road.
The Vikings running game once
again carried the load, sending three
different rushers to the end zone in
the win.
Junior Brady Brusegar, senior
Brian Wagner and sophomore Buck
Krueger scored from 13, 3 and 4
yards in the win. Krueger led the
way, racking up 87 yards on 15 car-
ries.
Wagner and Kruegers scores
were part of a 16 point fourth quar-
ter by the Vikings.
Blake Duffys 28-yard field in the
second quarter was the only Monroe
score.
The Vikings did have two first-
half PATs blocked.
St ought on seni or quart erback
Luke Logan, who finished 4-of-8,
hit Zach Hasselberger for 2-point
conversion pass following the final
score.
Monroe quarterback Charlie Kind
was 3-of-15 for 15 yards with three
picks.
Stoughtons last four games of
the regular season pit them against
three teams with losing records. The
Vikings (2-3 overall, 1-2 confer-
ence) travel to non-conference Por-
tage (0-5) at 7 p.m. Friday.
The host Warriors are coming off
a 41-0 beatdown against undefeated
DeForest in which the team only
racked up 60 yards of offense.
Stoughton follows that up at home
against undefeated Monona Grove
(3-0) and wi nl ess Oregon (0-2)
before capping the regular season
Friday, Oct. 18, at Milton (1-2).
The Vikings need to win two of
those three games to finish .500 in
the conference and make the WIAA
postseason for the first time since
1998.

those things have really added
to the clerks responsibili-
ties, Olson said, referring to
Gov. Scott Walkers contro-
versial elimination of most
collective bargaining for pub-
lic employees and the Help
America Vote Act. Weve
been asking one person to do
too much.
Multiple options
The study looked at the
citys operations and staffing
and compared it to similarly
sized municipalities.
Baker Tilly met with each
employee at City Hall, Olson
explained. They later came
back and talked some more
with me and some department
heads.
The final report, which
the Personnel committee has
discussed twice and plans to
revisit in October, presented
three models the city could
consider. The options ranged
from a cost of $55,000 annu-
ally to more than $300,000.
The most expensive model
calls for not only creating
positions for an IT director
and HR director but also add-
ing a city administrator to the
organizational structure. That
idea has been discussed a few
times in past years and was
rejected by the council each
time.
The least expensive model
envisions creating an HR
position and adding some IT
support. Under that model,
the HR directors duties
would be separated from
those of the city clerk and the
deputy clerk position would
see its hours cut from full
time to half time and would
provide administrative sup-
port to the mayor in order to
free up more time for strate-
gic leadership tasks.
Baker Tilly estimated the
cost for switching to Model
1 could be as much $125,000
or as low as $55,000, if the
city were to take advantage
of potential funding sources
identified in the report.
The report suggests that
advantages of the first model
include improved HR servic-
es and providing more admin-
istrative support for the mayor
by shifting clerical assistant
hours from the clerks office
to the mayor.
Other options
The second model would
create positions for an HR
director and an IT director.
The cost for Model 2 could be
as high as $235,000, or as low
as $55,000 after potential rev-
enue and savings offsets.
Like the first model, this
option suggests moving a
clerical assistant now in
the city clerks office to the
mayors office. Creating the
IT director position would
remove information technol-
ogy responsibility from the
planning director and allow
him to focus on his core
responsibilities, including
economic development.
In the long term, Model 2
also calls for consolidating
the role of fire chief and EMS
director, which is split into
separate positions.
Advantages to the sec-
ond model, according to the
report, include improved HR
and IT services, expanding
the pool of eligible candidates
for the positions of clerk, HR
director and IT director, and
providing more support to the
mayor and the planning direc-
tor.
The report states that
the first two models do not
address the underlying prob-
lems of a lack of interde-
partmental coordination and
cultural change in the citys
operations.
The third model, which
would include the HR and IT
positions and also add a city
administrator, could cost as
much as $335,000 or as little
as $100,000 after additional
revenue and savings offsets.
The study suggests that
adding a full-time adminis-
trator would provide strong
central administration to pair
with the mayors position,
allow the mayors role to be
more outward facing as an
elected official, focusing on
goals like development over
internal administration and
provide much needed inter-
departmental coordination
and centralized authority to
address perpetual cultural
issues and to manage city-
wide (cross-departmental) ini-
tiatives.
The downside, the report
indicates, would be the sig-
nificant fiscal investment
required to hire a city admin-
istrator.
Adopting bit by bit
Given the citys present
tight fiscal situation, Olson
said she doesnt see the coun-
cil implementing any of the
studys recommendations
right away.
When I talked to Person-
nel, I suggested lets look at
Option 2 with a little tweak-
ing here and there, she said.
Because of the way our
budget is, looking at almost
a $300,000 deficit, we might
not be able to do all of those
things right away. But if we
can make steps toward that
end, that would be our goal.
Olson thinks the study was
useful in that it tells us things
that we cant see because
were ingrained in the opera-
tion day to day.
The study was a first step,
she said. Now its time for
staff and the council to debate
the reports specifics and
decide what do with it.
Ald. Sonny Swangstu (Dist.
1), who chairs the Personnel
committee, said he is gener-
ally not a big fan of studies
because the recommendations
arent usually implemented.
But he thinks the Baker Tilly
study was useful.
The information they gave
us gives us a better idea of
what we need and where we
need it, he said. I think it
tells us what the city really
needs to get the ball rolling
again instead of having peo-
ple come and use our place
for a training ground and then
move on. Weve got to find
a way to keep these people
(employees) once they come
here.
Swangstu said establish-
ing a city administrator is a
suggestion in the report he
strongly opposes. He said
the city cant afford it and he
doesnt like the idea of a non-
elected person leading the
city.
Ald. Ron Christianson
(Dist. 2), on the other hand,
believes a professional
administrator is exactly what
the city needs although he
also recognizes that taxpayers
cant afford it.
Also a member of Person-
nel, Christianson said hes
met with most department
heads and talked over what
they thought would be our
best approach.
Most thought an HR direc-
tor would be our best direc-
tion at this point in time,
Christianson said.
Other ideas
Christianson noted the city
cant comfortably afford any
of the suggestions in the Bak-
er Tilly report, but he offered
the Personnel committee and
department heads an idea
about how to buy an HR
director at no additional cost
by refiguring some positions
at City Hall.
Right now we have an
unfilled position in the city
clerk, he said. We have an
acting city clerk. My sug-
gestion was that we take the
acting city clerk and make
her the clerk. Shes already
being paid. We should take
the money from the city clerk
position that is unfilled and
buy a human resource person.
That way there is no cost
involved, if we can get a full-
time human resource person
for that money.
Christianson has a long
list of other ideas that he will
discuss at the committees
next meeting in October.
But he and Swangstu
agreed the committee will
not make decisions or recom-
mendations to the council any
time soon.
Personnel will ease our
way through this and not be
in a hurry, Swangstu said.
Well see if we cant make
it work this time and last for
a while.
Likewise, Olson thinks the
committee should take its
time before making a recom-
mendation to the council.
There are a lot of moving
parts, she said. Thats why
we have to take it slow and
have lots of discussion before
moving ahead.
Staffing: Study recommends several options for HR, IT positions
In brief
The Baker Tilly report found that:
The city is under-resourced and lacks specific
expertise in the areas of human resources and
information technology.
The city lacks consistent policies and
procedures across multiple departments resulting
in inconsistencies, decreased efficiency and
ambiguous roles and responsibilities.
The organizational structure leads to a lack
of coordination and collaboration on issues that
should be addressed from a citywide perspective.
Key department heads are functioning without
adequate support and therefore perform duties
that do not optimize their time.

Hougan finishes
clerk, treasurer
training program
Bill livick
City of Stoughton act-
ing clerk Pili Hougan was
among 96 graduates of the
University of Wisconsin-
Green Bays Clerks/Trea-
surers Institute this sum-
mer.

clerks part
of the program last summer
and completed the munici-
pal treasurers program this
year.
Aft er begi nni ng wi t h
the city as a receptionist,
Hougan became the deputy
clerk and served in that role
for a little less than one
year before then-clerk/per-
sonnel director Luann Alme
resigned in 2007.
Hougan then took on the
role of acting clerk, which
she has done two more
times first when Kelly
Michaels left, and then after
Nick Probst resigned, both
after less than a year on the
job.
First I graduated from
the Wisconsin Municipal
Clerks Association at UW-
Green Bay and then this
summer it was a treasurers
course from the Wisconsin
Municipal Clerks Asso-
ciation, Hougan said. I
applied and received a full
scholarship the first year
and then the second, third
and fourth years the city
paid for the course.
Hougan is currently serv-
ing as acting clerk, a posi-
tion shes held since Febru-
ary.
The training institute is
one of the largest programs
in the United States and has
received awards and recog-
nition nationally and inter-
nationally, according to a
news release from the uni-
versity.
Each summer munici-
pal clerks, treasurers and
other officials participate
in a week of continuing
education training courses.
The institute is designed to
advance the professional
development of local gov-
ernment officials in Wis-
consin. The course work
focuses on the develop-
ment of technical skills,
learning state statutes and
regulations, administrative
knowledge, leadership and
financial management.
Local government offi-
cials completing the three-
year sequence of programs
earn all of the education
points needed for national
certification, with addition-
al points earned by experi-
ence in local government
and participation in other
meetings and educational
seminars. Officials hold-
ing the title of both clerk
and treasurer are eligible to
receive both the clerks and
treasurers certification by
completing a fourth year at
the institute.

a real summer vacation
in a decade because thats
the prime season for build-
ing the next haunted barn
experience. Fiscally, it has
been a blessing for them to
break even, despite pouring
thousands of dollars into the
project around $30,000 to
$40,000 just last year, Kris
said.
But they dont do it to
make money; its the fam-
ilys hobby, Kris explains.
Some people fish; some
people hunt; we haunt, she
said.
Building the barn
This year, Larry explains
they spent money more effi-
ciently by making more of
their own props and turning
recycled items like an ice
chest into props that goers
will see this time around.
Thats something Larry
takes pride in.
You transform it from
something plain and tame to
something really out-of-this-
world gory, he said.
Making some props from
scratch, Larry has a back-
ground in electrical work,
carpentry and other trades
as a building maintenance
worker, but the barn has
pretty much become his full-
time job.
It took him about a week
to build an animatronic rat
(an electrical rat that moves
on its own) as a new prop for
this year. He spent around
$300 to make a slightly
smaller version of the prop
that costs $3,500 to buy.
Larrys enthusiasm for
creating scary spectacles
comes through in the imagi-
native designs he aims to
make even scarier each year.
Its impressive what hes
done, haunted house helper
Slack told the Hub Monday
afternoon in a phone inter-
view. Theres never a dull
moment theres always
something new.
Youll find the rat along
with other props like a
bl oody woman s body
whos getting decapitated
by a chain saw. Some props
even include videos like see-
ing one of a guy coming to
axe down a door. The barns
themselves are elaborately
decorated from floor to ceil-
ing, wasting no space to put
an extra prop or scare.
Kris, Traci, Tyler and
older sister Tonia, 28, (who
isnt as involved, but still
comes home to help out) are
used to their dads tricks, but
some visitors have to step
out of the hour-long haunted
tour after the first scare.
By the time theyve gone
through everything, they
should be pretty worn out,
Larry boasts.
Horror helpers
Some characters on the
haunted stroll include clas-
sic horror-icons like Freddie
or Jason who are portrayed
by an all-volunteer staff of
actors.
Dedicated actors are one
of the secrets to an effective
haunt, Larry says. The fam-
ily has relied on volunteers
who are friends, family and
a lot of the time custom-
ers who never left, to have
kept expanding the haunted
barn, Larry said.
That was the case for
Burrington and Slack, who
visited the Barn years ago.
I thought itd be fun to
scare people, Burrington
said, adding theyve become
good friends with the fam-
ily, too.
With the extra time theyll
have, the family plans to
still get spooky kicks to
have time to visit other
haunted attractions and his-
torical sites like Statesville
haunted prison in Illinois.
And Larry still plans to con-
tinue prop building here and
there. The Twinings have
kept the barn going this long
not only because they love
a good scare, but because
of the people theyve met
along the way.
Its bittersweet, Kris
said.
