SHS student earns

Eagle Scout rank
Replaced Norse
Park flag pole
AMBER LEVENHAGEN
Unified Newspaper Group
The flag at Norse Park
is flying a little higher
after a recent Eagle Scout
project replaced the old
bent pole with a new flag
and pole, landscaping and
flood lights.
Matthew Krcma, a
Stoughton High School
senior, turned the neglect-
ed flagpole into his scout
project.
I noticed the flag
stayed up all night long
and wasnt lit, and proper
flag etiquette is to either
take the flag down each
night or have it lit so it can
stay up all night, he said.
And then the flag pole
got hit by a truck, so then
it was bent, and I decid-
ed to replace the flagpole
and do some landscaping
around it.
He raised funds for the
project by connecting with
local businesses and pre-
senting his project. Krcma
even presented at a Parks
and Recreation commit-
tee meeting and was able
to raise more than $2,500
from the community for
the project.
With a team of fellow
scouts, Krcma spent a
few days at Norse Park
digging up and replac-
ing the old flag pole. An
electrician helped set up
the floodlights, so now
the flag will be displayed
properly.
O f eve r y t h i n g I ve
done with the scouts, Im
definitely most proud of
my Eagle Scout project,
Krcma said. It was such
a big project, and a lot of
time went into it and now
its finally done.
Since joining scouts
i n t h e fi r s t g r a d e , h e
has served with several
leadership roles. He was
elected to serve as senior
patrol leader for six
months, which meant
planning and organizing
weekly meetings. He also
frequently served as quar-
termaster, preparing for
trips by organizing food
and travel gear.
One of the skills Ive
learned is how to lead
p e o p l e , b e c a u s e i t s
i m p o r t a n t t o d e l eg a t e
instead of doing every-
thing yourself, he said.
Krcma needs to earn
one more merit badge
before he can officially
become an Eagle Scout.
He plans to have that
completed by the end of
the summer.
His last badge is Family
Life, which requires him
to complete a project that
benefits his family. He
decided to do housework
for his family, clearing
out a cluttered room. Its
a project that takes some
time, but one he certainly
has the motivation to com-
plete.
My parents have
helped me out so much, if
I ever have any questions
or need help I know I can
go to them right away, he
said. Theyve been very
supportive.
Outside of the scouts,
hes active with football,
wrestling and lacrosse.
He also plays tuba in the
marching band. Though
hes not sure what he
wa n t s t o d o a f t e r t h e
scouts, he said hed enjoy
pursuing a career in engi-
neering. His time with the
scouts will be over once
he turns 18 next March,
but he plans to continue
with it as an adult leader.
Ive had so much fun
with the scouts, and all of
the different trips, I dont
want to give it up, he
said.

Plans for a new splash pad, soccer
field and shelter at Nordic Ridge Park
on Peterson Farm are up for approval
next week.
The Parks Commission has already
approved the concept, and the Com-
mon Council approved funding for
the project, on the citys southwest
side, in May. The Planning Commis-
sion will review a site plan Monday.
The developer is covering the
majority of the cost, with the city con-
tributing $154,000 for the amenities.
The park is part of the second phase
of development with the Nordic Ridge
subdivision, and developer Robert
Dvorak told the Hub bids for the park
will open within the next few weeks.
Phase 2 is well under way at Nordic
Ridge. All of the lots are expected to
be available by September, and 27 of
the first 40 lots have been closed on.
The first phase is selling out and

Letters to the editor

School bus drivers have

lasting impact on students
In many states, the major-
ity of school districts own
and operate their own buses,
as Stoughton has done for
many years. The reason why
administrators should be direct
employees of the district
rather than of a management
company, and teachers should
likewise work for the district
rather than an educational ser-
vices company, are the same
for school bus drivers to be
school employees rather than
be employees of a bus compa-
ny.
Driving school buses
involves relationships far dif-
ferent than driving a truck or
an intercity bus. Many students
spend more time each day with
their bus driver than with their
teacher.
A lifelong friendship is often
begun with their driver, who
has a role in the formative
years of their lives.
The school bus driver has the
opportunity to become a role
model like few other people
have.
In addition, school bus
drivers who are employees of
a school develop a sense of
teamwork with other school
employees such as teachers,
aides and principals.

Stoughton takes the lead

Nelson makes up for
rundown out with
big RBI in the ninth
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor

Jack Nelson had some-

thing to prove when he
stepped into the batters
box for his final at bat in
the ninth inning Sunday in a
6-5 win at Waterloo at Fire-
mens Park.
Nelson got his chance
for atonement after being
caught in a rundown two
innings prior in what was a
tie game with a high out-
side fastball from pitcher
Ben Vehlow. It turned into
an RBI double that proved
to be the difference, adding
an ultimately needed insur-
ance run for the Merchants.
It felt good to get a run
back for the team after get-
ting caught in that rundown
earlier in the game, Nel-
son said. I was sitting on
a fastball and he delivered.

Jason Hougan delivered

an RBI game-winning sin-

the host Utica Home Tal-

The basehit highlighted
a 23-run, 24 hit shootout
between the As and Clinton

Utica improved to 1-8

fell back to .500 in the East

The visiting Orioles took
a 2-0 lead with a pair of
runs in the top of the first
inning but Utica answered
with four runs in the home
half of the inning and then
added another one inning

Clinton didnt relent,

second and third.
Easton Ellis grounded out to
plate a run and advance the tying
run to third base.
Erick Sperloen, who got the
start and went the distance for
Stoughton, was able to work out
of a tough spot by getting Adrian
Arians to fly out to left field to
end the game.
Erick had a bit of a shaky start,
trying to find the strike zone, but
he settled down and helped us
save (Ben) Riffle for Tuesday at
McFarland, Seffens said.
Sperloen struck out three in
nine innings. He scattered 10
hits, walked one and gave up two
earned runs. Vehlow didnt strike
out any, walked seven, gave up
nine hits and five earned runs.
The Merchants offense made
up for Sperloens early struggles
and looked well on their way to
another offensive outburst, put-
ting up three runs on back-to-
back doubles by Max Fuller and
Dave Hanson in the first inning.
Stoughton struggled to manu-
facture runs when the team was
pressed, scoring once in the third
and then not again until the final
two innings.
The Merchants ran themselves
out of potentially big innings in
the sixth and seventh innings.
Fuller led off the sixth with
a single to right field but was
thrown out at second on a botched
hit-and-run. Dave Hanson and
Erick Sperloen went the distance for Stoughton on Sunday, allowing three earned runs while striking out three
in a 6-5 victory over Waterloo.
DiPrizio grounded out and lined seventh inning with a single, but Klitzke walked but was in turn brief lead until Hanson singled
out to end the inning.
Scott Nachreiner gave the and was later caught in a rundown

was thinking there, but he came

In the top of the eighth, lead-off
hitter Irvin Medina drew a walk
and was sacrificed to second by
Wenzel. Medina took care of the
rest, advancing to third and even-
tually scoring on a pair of wild
pitches to give Stoughton a 5-4
lead.
Fuller, batting cleanup (because
Ryan Nyhagen missed the game),
delivered with a two-out RBI dou-
ble in the first inning over center
fielder Easton Ellis, who was OK
despite slamming into the fence.
Hanson followed up Fullers
blast, sending a shot over the head
of the Waterloo left fielder, and
DiPrizio tacked on a third straight
run with an RBI single over the
left side of the infield.
Waterloo took its only lead of
the game, 4-3, with four runs in
the home half of the second on
four hits and a pair of Stoughton
errors.

new path
Kegonsas Conrad
comes from social
justice background
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group
Inspired by her fathers
career in education and
social justice, Erin Conrad
is enjoying her new career
path and role
as Kegonsa
Elementary
School prin-
cipal.
With some
time to finally
catch (her)
breath after Conrad
a whirlwind
first school
year, shes spending the sum-
mer getting ready for another
which she cant wait for.
Her first year in the dis-
trict was fantastic, and she
noted how the schools and
community have been wel-
coming to her.
Its great to really build
a community thats focused
on students and what can we
do to create experiences for
our littlest learners to pre-
pare them for the world that
we dont even know what its
going to look like, she said.
Conrad grew up in Tucson,
Ariz., before moving to Mad-
ison, where her mom worked
as a school psychologist and
her dad was a UW-Madi-
son professor, focusing on
leadership and higher edu-
cation. He worked on issues
of desegregation at the uni-
versity level with historically
black colleges, Conrad said,
and while that of course
was very inspiring, she nev-
er thought shed follow her
parents into the field of edu-
cation.
I dont think you do that
as a kid, she said.
Instead, the Grinnell Col-
lege graduate moved to El
Salvador, where she lived
from 1998 to 2003, work-
ing as the director of a large,
non-governmental organi-
zation doing human rights
work.
I was always just really
passionate about social jus-
tice and human rights Im
a fluent Spanish speaker
and I really want to live
abroad, Conrad told the
Hub last week. The part of
my job I most enjoyed was
education, and I was really
inspired by what communi-
ties were doing with very lit-
tle resources, and I wanted to
come back to United States
to figure out a way I could
contribute in the field of edu-
cation.
After returning to Madi-
son, she taught for one year at
Eagle School before moving
to the Madison Metropoli-
tan School District, where
she worked for seven years,
including her last role as
coordinator of professional
learning for student services
at the district level. It was then
that her career focus started
to shift, and she worked for
a year as an assistant princi-
pal at Horizon Elementary
School in Sun Prairie before
being hired in Stoughton.

I thought I would do
international human rights
work forever, and now Im a

ton, she said. Its what I tell
my kids you never know
what your life in going to

inquiry
One thing that started at
Kegonsa this year that Con-
rad wants to continue with is
a focus on play-based and
equity-based learning. In
January, the school started a
15-person cohort of teachers
to find ways to implement
those ideas.
How can we give our
kids voice in what theyre
learning thats probably the
most exciting thing weve
launched this year, Conrad
said. (Its) how can we use
inquiry as the way that we
teach and how can we learn
together as a community, so
its not just lazy practices
where you stand in front of
the students sitting in rows.
The school recently got
rid of about 200 old desks
to make room for newly
designed collaborative spac-
es in classrooms.
If our desire is to really
create learning experiences,
our design needs to match
that, so sitting in traditional
desks doesnt really match
that, she said. Its rein-
vention of what our space is
going to look like how can
we best use our space to cre-
ate and foster learning expe-
riences for our kids?
Its not the only work
being done as the 2016-17
school year calendar turned
to 2017-18 on July 1.
Already weve had a
ton of meetings to prepare
for next year and folks are
excited to see whats on the
horizon, Conrad said. Our
teacher teams are meeting
though the summer; our
innovation team met the first
day back. Its a lot of work,
but its the good work and
its time for staff and for me
to do some good reading and
reflection on what went well
and where are we going as
we move forward.
One thing she definite-
ly will continue is having
lunch with every student in
the building at some point in
the school year.
That was something that
I just loved, Conrad said.
Theyd come into my office
and wed have lunch. Just
the opportunities to sit with
four to six kids every Friday
and get to know our kids was
probably one of the richest
experiences I had all year.

First-Year Principals
Femrite brings Nordic
touch, name to Sandhill
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group
For Sandhill Elementary principal
Jeff Femrite, the fit seemed perfect
from the start and after a year, he
hasnt changed his
mind.
The Whitehall native
and veteran educator
had lived and worked
in smaller towns for
years and was seeking
something a bit big-
ger. So when he heard Femrite
about a job opening
up in Stoughton, with
all its Norwegian heritage and flavor,
the son of Norway knew he found a
match.
The last year was one of the best
years Ive ever had in education, he
told the Hub.
I was absolutely blessed with
this incredible community, incred-
ible staff, the previous principal has
been a great mentor, Dr. Onsager and
the school board very supportive and
helpful, he said.
Femrite comes from a family of
educators his mother is a retired
Title I reading specialist; his grand-
mother taught middle school way
back when they had one-room
schoolhouses.
It kind of ran in the family, he
told the Hub last Tuesday. Ever
since I was little, it was just some-
thing we were going to do.
