was in some ways the beginning of Stoughton becoming

an arts community, Lazzaro
said.
We had a lot of artists
coming into town and living here a lot of very wellknown artists, like Wayne
Taylor, a sculptor, and Skip
Johnson, one of the top wood
artists in America. Richard
Long was here. Bill Amundson was a young kid then, but
he was up and coming. Greg
Everson was a sculptor and
he still lives in town. There
were just a lot of people who
made art.
Twenty-two years later, the
building next to Richards
studio became vacant, and he
and Giovanna opened Lazzaro Signature Gallery, which
they operated from 1985 to
2009.

stages of her 99 years. She died in 2011 in Stoughton. The work is in her favorite colors. The zones of shapes and linear activities represent the phases of her
life from birth to adulthood, marriage and motherhood, homes and workplaces,
travels and resting place. The graphic markings reflect the incredible energy
and memory she possessed throughout her life.

Forward Development Group (FDG),

the firm assembling the businesses hoping
to build in the proposed Kettle Park West
development, has signed purchase agreements with all the parties, the project development manager told the Hub Tuesday.
Dennis Steinkraus said FDG recently
completed the purchase agreement with a
fourth commercial enterprise. He said the
business is not in a position now to come
forward with their name, but we do have a
purchase agreement with them.
Its more timing on their part as far as
when they can announce it, he said.
Steinkraus also confirmed that FDG has
finally been able to provide the city with
information needed for a firm to conduct
an economic impact analysis of the project.
The Common Council on April 8 unanimously selected Maxfield Research Inc. to
conduct an economic and fiscal analysis
on the project, expected to take four to six
weeks to complete.
The Minneapolis-based real estate
research company conducts market research
feasibility studies. Steinkraus said FDG provided the information to the city two weeks
ago, which in turn forwarded it to Maxfield.
Once the study is complete, or near completion, city staff would like to begin preparing a project plan for the creation of a
tax incremental finance (TIF) district.
The city signed a development agreement with FDG in January that includes
$5.1 million in TIF assistance and requires
four businesses to substantially complete
construction of their buildings by Oct. 31,
2015.
TIF is a form of taxpayer assistance used
as a subsidy for redevelopment, infrastructure and other community-improvement
projects. It combines revenues from all taxing jurisdictions on projects that would not
exist but for the use of the TIF.
Also Tuesday, city finance director Laurie Sullivan told the Hub she provided the
citys assessor with the same information that the city forwarded to Maxfield
Research. And she asked the assessor to
give us an estimated assessment on the first
four buildings and Phase 1.
She said the assessor confirmed that the
value is $18.1 million for the first four
buildings in KPW, and at least $34 million
for the total Phase 1. However, a study conducted by citizens Roger Springman and
Russ Reppen concluded that the citys figure of $18.1 valuation was an inflated number, estimating the more accurate number at
about $13 million.

University of WisconsinMadison emeritus art professor Richard Lazzaro had no

idea that he was moving to
an arts community when
he and his family arrived in
Stoughton 51 years ago.
It was 1963, and Lazzaro, 26 at the time, had just
accepted a job at the university. He, his Italian wife
Giovanna and their 3-yearold son Cary came from
Champaign-Urbana, Ill.,
where theyd lived for two
years while Richard worked
as an instructor and attained
his Masters of Fine Arts
degree.
Richard and Giovanna
didnt care for any of the
apartments theyd seen in
Madison. So they took advice
from the chairman of the Art
Department, who was living in Stoughton and thought
they might like to live here.
They came and ended up
renting the lower half of a
two-family house on South
Page Street.
We rented the downstairs
for what we thought would
be one year, and weve never left that house, Lazzaro
recalled during an interview
with the Courier Hub. We
eventually bought it and converted it back to a single family.
Richard spent the next 35
years teaching drawing and
painting at the UW. But he
also quickly found studio
space in Stoughton where he
honed his skills as a painter
of abstract art. His work continues to be exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world.
His studio here was on the
third floor of the old Erikson
Building, at the corner of
Water and Main streets.
Herb Pfaffenbach was
the dentist that owned the
building and he became a
very good friend, Lazzaro
remembered. Herb was very
supportive of the arts and was
proud to be able to sort of
help artists along.
Before long, both the second and third floors of the
redbrick building were being
used as studios.
There were a lot of other
artists in the building, and it

Roundabouts at
interchange prompt
town resolution
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Three roundabouts proposed by the Wisconsin

Department of Transportation (WisDOT) for a rebuilt
Interstate39-90/Hwy. N
interchange have Town of
Pleasant Springs officials
concerned about the potential effect on local businesses.
In an email to the Courier Hub, WisDOT project
communication manager
Steve Theisen said the
interchange work is part
of a larger I39/90 expansion project that will extend
from Madison about 45
miles to the Illinois state
line. He said the 11 interchanges along the corridor have outdated design
features that contribute to
safety concerns.
By the year 2030, with
no corrective action, all sections of I39/90 are expected
to operate at unacceptable
levels of service, meaning
unstable traffic flow and
stop-and-go conditions, he
wrote.
To address safety and
congestion concerns, plans

are to reconstruct and
expand the highway from
four to six lanes, and reconfigure all 11 interchanges,
including the addition of
three roundabouts at the
County N interchange in the
Town of Pleasant Springs,
currently scheduled for
construction in 2017.
At their July 1 meeting, Town of Pleasant
Springs board members
passed a resolution urging the department to collaborate with businesses in
the area to ensure a safe
interchange for all residents
and travelers, said Town
of Pleasant Springs chair

County officials have called

out the Capital Area Regional
Planning Commission (CARPC) and initiated legal action
after the commission recently
voted for a significant increase
in its 2015 budget that county
officials say is against the law.
CARPC, which serves as
the regional planning and
water quality management
planning entity for the county,
voted 8-3 for just over $1.3
million in funding for 2015
at its July 10 meeting, a significant increase of around
$600,000 from this years
budget. CARPC is governed
by a policy board with 13
appointed commissioners.
In response, the Dane
County Board, responsible for
funding the commission, last
week unanimously approved a
resolution deeming the budget
request unreasonable, laying out the grounds for a legal
challenge to what amounts to
a 76 percent increase.
County Board Chair Sharon
Corrigan said the board is in
no position to add another
$600,000 in taxes.
State levy limits would
force us to make cuts in other
departments, in a year when
were already looking at
cuts, Corrigan said.
The resolution states that
the increase is unreasonable
because the budget change is
greater than whats authorized
by the county panel responsible for determining CARPCs budget, which is both
a violation of its own bylaws
and that of the charter resolution. It further states that the
commissions annual budget
increases are subject to any
levy limitations which apply
to Dane County and limits its
budget charge to a maximum
of .0017 percent of Dane
Countys equalized value.
CARPCs blatant disregard of the expectations of
the communities who worked
to establish it undermines the
goals that CARPC purports to
serve, the resolution reads,
noting that the board has
directed its corporation counsel to initiate legal action to
challenge the commissions
budget certification.
Strong words
County Executive Joe Parisi called the CARPCs action
illegal and insulting. In a
letter to county board members, he said the county will
hold the organization accountable.
At a time when county
workers can voluntarily agree
to pay reductions and our
managers are building budgets based on current revenues, CARPCs actions are
inexcusable and ignore the
reality facing every other unit
of local government, the letter read.
In a letter to CARPC
members, Parisi expressed
astonishment and dismay

over the vote to increase the
countys levy charge for the
commission, and asked the
group to hold an emergency
session to rescind its actions.
This action was not only
illegal, it was irresponsible
and, quite frankly, insulting to every elected official
in Dane County government
who works tirelessly every
year to find budget solutions
that allow us to provide critical services to residents of our
community, he said. Perhaps the commissioners who
voted for this 80 percent levy
increase could also suggest
which departments we should
now de-fund to pay for your
suggested increase in CARPCs budget: Child Protective Services, 911, Highway?
Should we de-fund the newly
established non-mandated
school mental health crisis
teams the county is funding
in Verona, Sun Prairie and
Madison?
Going too far?

Forbes McIntosh, spokesperson for the Dane County
Cities and Villages Association, said while the group was
scheduled to meet Wednesday to talk about the situation
and come up with a response,
he said Parisi and the county
board are overstating the case,
noting that a majority of county representatives on CARPC
voted for the increase.

percent increase, and the

number sounds huge, but
100 percent of a dollar is just
another dollar, McIntosh
said.
McIntosh said part of
the increase is for hiring an
executive director, which the
organization has gone without since its inception in 2007.
He said the fact that CARPC
still doesnt have an executive
director after seven years is
obvious evidence the county has not adequately funded
the organization.
CARPC staff arent being
paid the same rate as Dane
County employees of the
same education or qualification, experience or position,
McIntosh said. We need to
have responsible and timely
regional planning. Water
quality is a priority in this area
and we need to start treating it
as a priority.
While he said possible legal
action by the county is not
surprising, he said he didnt
like some of the terms being
used.
I dont like throwing
around words like illegal,
he said. It is reasonable or
unreasonable thats the statute test they can challenge,
then its up to an arbitration
panel.
I dont think theres anything theyve done that technically is illegal, but well find
out from a judge.

Proposed I39-90 work a concern
committee for a second

look. He argued that the
denial by town and county officials flouts a 2013
change in state law that
prohibits municipalities
from refusing new broadcast towers unless they
would harm public health
or safety.
But opponents have said
the tower would fly in the
face of a separate statute
limiting how land zoned
exclusively for agriculture
should be used.
The board approved the
ZLR committee recommendation to deny the
rezoning by a voice vote.
Earlier this summer,
Magnums attorneys indicated that a lawsuit could
be next. The company
last year unsuccessfully
sued in Dane County Circuit Court to overturn the
town and countys 2011
rejection of its plans, but
they feel the 2013 change
in state law could work in
their favor.

Town of Pleasant Springs officials want to be sure proposed improvements to the I39-90/Hwy. N interchange including the addition of
three roundabouts will be good for businesses in the area.
A proposal to build a
radio tower in the Town
of Rutland was shot down
again last week by county
officials.
For the second time
in three years, the Dane
County Board of Supervisors voted last Thursday
not to rezone 15.5 acres
of land near Old Stage
Road where Tomah-based
Magnum Communications
wants to erect a 486-foot
tower to service Stoughtons first FM radio station.
In a move that was
largely expected, the
board backed earlier votes
by Town of Rutland leaders and a county committee not to rezone the property owned by long-time
area farmers and siblings
David Soldwedel and Sue
Wollin.
Before the vote, Magnums attorney, Michael
Screnock, told the board
they should send the issue
back to the countys zoning and land regulation

proposed Kettle Park West

development which
includes a 153,000-squarefoot Wal-Mart Supercenter, a financial institution,
a convenience store and a
restaurant is not likely to
begin this year, Steinkraus
said Tuesday.
About a month ago,
he told the city that FDG
would like to begin grading at the site at the
northwest corner of the
Hwys. 51/138 intersection
in August.
Thats not going to
happen, he said Tuesday.
We have to wait for the
analysis to be completed
before we can begin turning dirt.
Steinkraus explained
that mass grading the
site would be the first step
after the Common Council
creates a new TIF district
and gives final approval
for the project. The grading alone would take about
six weeks, he said, followed by the installation
of underground utilities.
Weve got three
months of construction
before the plats are going
to be ready, and nobody
wants to start building in
December, he said.
Our obligation is to
give the users a finished
plat thats got sewer,
water, gas, phone and
electricity to it, and then
as a development group
were out.
The owners who are
buying the dirt hire their
own contractors to build
the buildings, he added.
We do the site preparation but not the actual construction of the buildings.
Steinkraus said getting
the citys approval for the
controversial project has
taken longer than anybody
anticipated.
He explained the citys
big box ordinance is very
complicated and nobodys
been through it before.
And there are various
interpretations.
But, Steinkraus said,
FDG is working with
some patient people and
so were feeling good
about everything.
KPW opponents are concerned the city is taking on
too much risk in providing
TIF assistance for a retail
development. TIF is more
commonly used for industrial developments, such
as the creation of business
parks, and redevelopment
projects in blighted areas.

The history of organized religion is filled

with what can only be described as sectarian or partisan violence. There have
been disagreements from the beginning
of Christianity over what should constitute the correct form of both practice
and belief. And these disagreements are
only natural: when finite, fallible human
beings try to determine what their infinite,
infallible God expects of them, there is
going to be disagreement. But, wise men
and women should realize this and not
let these disagreements turn to armed
conflict and bloodshed. Sadly, this sort of
religious violence has been all too common. Catholics and Protestants waged a
series of wars for much of the 16th and
17th century. Shia and Sunni Muslims
have waged war against each other for
centuries, and of course there seems to
be no end in sight to the violence which
Muslims and Jews perpetrate against
each other in the Mid-East. This is most
unfortunate, since we all claim to believe
in a loving and merciful God who abhors
violence and the spilling of innocent
blood. We should pray for peace among
all of Gods children and do what we can
in our lives to foster a spirit of religious
unity.

SHS grad receives

Hershey scholarship
Matthew Read, of Stoughton

Boy Scout Troop 167, recently
earned the rank of Eagle Scout
by building new dugouts for
the Lowell Park baseball diamond as his service project.
Read recognized the need for
improvements at the park after
playing Pony League baseball
there last summer. He coordinated and helped build the
roofs with the help of his scout
master, fellow Boy Scouts and
their parents on Saturday, June
28. Stoughton Area Baseball
Association donated the funds
for the materials, including new
aluminum benches, and the City
of Stoughton donated labor for
the initial site preparation and
concrete work.
A 2014 Stoughton High

School graduate received
a scholarship from The
Hershey Company.
Annalise Panthofer
received the scholarship awarded to children
of Hershey employees.
Recipients are selected based on academic
record, potential to succeed, leadership and participation in school and
community activities,
honors, work experience
and academic and career
goals, according to a
press release from The
Hershey Company.
Panthofer will attend
the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is
the daughter of Kristi
and Tim Panthofer. Kristi
works at The Hershey
Companys Field Sales
Division in Milwaukee.

Ask The Stoughton
GARDEN CENTER
Q. When is the best time to plant Trees & Shrubs?

A. Typically the answer would be in the fall when we are getting cooler nights & have more
soil moisture. This year that really isn't the case. With the unseasonably cool temperatures
and above average rainfall, you can plant trees, shrubs and perennials right now when the
selection is still good. Just remember to water the equivalent of an inch of water per week,
fertilize and mulch the plants when they are planted and you should have great success
this year. Annuals can also still be planted for an extra splash of color. The selection isn't
as good as the spring, but the prices are 50% less. Good luck planting and stop by the
Stoughton Garden Center with any questions.

DENTAL CARE
Q. Do I Need Fluoride?
A. Yes, everyone can benefit
from fluoride. It helps prevent tooth decay by

making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque, bacteria and sugars in
the mouth. For children age 6 months to 16 years, when ingested, fluoride is
incorporated into the enamel of developing teeth before they erupt, making them
more resistant to decay. If your child (6 months or older) does not drink fluoridated
water; drops, tablets or vitamins MAY be prescribed.
Adults benefit from fluoride, too. Topical fluoride from toothpastes, mouth rinses
Thor J. Anderson, DDS and fluoride treatments help fight decay in people of all ages. If your drinking
water is fluoridated (recommended levels are 0.7-1.2 ppm), then brushing regularly
with fluoride toothpaste is sufficient for most adults with healthy teeth. If however you drink mostly
bottled water and are susceptible to dry mouth, have receding gums or wear braces, ask us if you may
benefit from fluoride therapy.

BUILDING PROFESSIONALS
Q. What building practices do you use to build a very energy efficient home?
A. In my last article we talked about making your home extremely air tight to save energy and make your
home healthy to live in. Now we will talk about good quality insulation and making sure all your vapor
barriers are installed properly. There are two types of insulation, closed cell and open cell. Both have
different advantages and disadvantages. Everything from being a environmentally friendly product, to cost,
performance, payback time, and so on. Closed cell insulations dont require a vapor barrier to perform properly
but open cell insulations wont perform properly if vapor barriers are not installed properly. Moisture in
insulation will cause it to lose heat more rapidly and potentially cause mold growth and rotting over time.
Laboratory studies have shown that a " diameter hole in a vapor barrier can let up to 30 liters of water into a
wall cavity during a winter heating season. Every electrical outlet can potentially leak as much air as a " hole
in a vapor barrier so its very important to have air tight electrical boxes installed in your home.

NURSING PROFESSIONAL
Q. We are looking for a nursing home for Mom what is a star rating?
A. A star rating is assigned to a nursing home based off the following criteria and is a way for CMS (the Medicaid/Medicare
system) to compare nursing homes: health inspections (annual and complaint surveys), staffing, and quality measures (clinical
data reported by the nursing home). The star rating of any skilled nursing facility ranges from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). Only 10%
of nursing homes can have a 5 star rating because it is based on a bell curve. The annual survey process takes approximately 3 days
to complete and is performed by State employees. There are over 180 regulatory standards to which a nursing facility must abide.
The state surveyors look at the care of residents and processes used to give that care, how the staff interacts with residents and
clinical records. Quality measure star rating is a more accurate picture of the type of care a facility provides. This data is collected
every six months as compared to the survey results and looks at for example: new or worsened pressure ulcers, percentage of residents
Lauren Hartlaub RN, who receive flu/pneumococcal vaccines, urinary tract infections, weight loss or gain, physical restraints, and etc. The star rating is
WCC, DON-CLTC
a snapshot of a facility and does not necessarily represent the overall performance of the facility accurately. For instance, it takes 3
annual surveys to adjust a star rating for health care inspection. Touring a facility will tell you more about the care provided than the
number of stars behind the facility name. As a Director of Nursing, I recommend that prior to deciding on a place to receive rehab or live, visit the facility unannounced,
and request a tour. A great facility, despite the star rating, will have no problem giving you a tour. On your tour, request to see outside vendor satisfaction surveys such
as My Innerview, this will give you a more accurate picture of the facility and their customer satisfaction overall. For information regarding nursing facilities near
you visit www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare.

SENIOR CARE
Q. Why cant I taste my food like I used to?

A. We are born with 9,000 taste buds, which work with your sense of smell, which relies on odors. Your sense
of smell and taste change as you age because the number of taste buds decreases. The rest begin to shrink, losing
mass vitals to their operation. After age 60, you may begin to lose the ability to distinguish the taste of sweet, salty,
sour, and bitter foods. The sense of smell begins to fade after age 70; which exacerbates the loss of taste for those
affected. Loss of taste can result in loss of nutrition. Losing the senses of taste and smell can diminish appetites.
The aroma of a delicious meal suddenly does not smell or taste as it once did, so you may not eat as well. You
may lose interest in fruits, vegetables and other dishes that provide nourishment critical to maintaining good

health. Saliva production also diminishes with age resulting in dry mouth and difficulty swallowing. Overcome
these obstacles by adding spices and seasonings to food to enhance flavor. For example, you can add garlic to
mashed potatoes or marinate your favorite meat. Remember to always check the expiration date on all food. Losing your senses of taste and
smell may not be fun, but it does not mean that the good life is over. You can prepare yourself for these changes in advance. Be prepared to
accept change, adapt, and be aware of potential hazards. By doing so, you can commit to aging gracefully every step of the way. Bon Appetit

As hold off Albion in extras

JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Center fielder Chris Lund knocked

in three runs and ace Kyle Bates
pitched 10 solid innings Sunday to
keep the Utica Association firmly in
the Southeast Section playoff picture.
Lund collected four of the As seven hits and Bates scattered eight hits
in a 4-3 come-from-behind victory in
Albion.
Though veteran Tigers reliever
Mike Nanstad sat down Bates and
Dane Schultz quickly in the 10th
inning, Ben Hildenbrandt and Lund
once again came through for Utica.
Hildebrandt (3-for-5) who had Uticas other three hits reached base with
a single past shortstop before Lund
turned on a 10th inning fastball, hitting a bomb to the right-center field
gap.
Though Uticas top five hitters never hit safely, Brad Ashmore walked
twice, Doug Vike walked with the
bases loaded in the third and Andy
Martin reached safely with a walk in
the ninth.
Someone had to clutch up today,
Lund said. I was seeing the ball really well all day.
Utica manager Dale Vike was
faced with a decision before sending
the As back on the field for the bottom of the ninth.
We talked about not sending Kyle
back out and having Dane finish the
game, but we was still feeling good,
Vike said. If he ran into any trouble
he would have been out.
Bates, however, sat down the
Tigers in order in the ninth and 10th
to close out the game.
We have a great group of guys
that always stick together, Lund
said. I think thats why weve been
so successful this season.
The late-game heroics were a long
way from the way the game started as
neither team collected a hit until the
bottom of the second inning. Albion
went on to turn three singles into the
games first run.
Kyle Johnson lined a lead-off
single up the middle to start off the
inning for the Tigers before being
sacrificed to second by Tyler Oren.
Kris Agnews two-out single back up
the box led to an early Albion lead.
Jim Eastman followed with a single
to center before Bates worked out

Deegan.
Hildenbrandt, who scored three
runs, singled to left field and later
came around to score on a Lund single to center in the fourth, which gave
Utica its first lead, 2-1.
The As were unable to hold onto
the lead despite getting a quick two
outs in the sixth inning.
Oren got the Tigers rolling with
a shot off the glove of first baseman
Doug Vike. Marty Johnson followed
that up with a single to center where
Lund was unable to field the ball
clearly, allowing Albion to knot the
score at 2-all.

Stoughton overcame an
early deficit to once again
knock off the Fort Atkinson
Senior Hawks on Thursday.
The host Stoughton squad
found itself down 9-0 in the
top of the first inning, but it
benefitted from four errors to
chip away at the Hawks (7-5)
lead en route to a 6-run sixth
inning.
Fort Atkinson scored nine
times on four hits and five
walks in the first inning.
Matt Romens put Fort
Atkinson on the board with a
2-run double and Logan Koch
followed with an RBI single.
Then after Eli Rawinski,
Cole Ehrke and Cole Hebbe
all drew bases-loaded walks,
Tyler Ault blasted a 2-run
double to cap the big inning.
But errors ultimately cost
Fort Atkinson as Stoughton
scored four unearned runs
over the next three innings
and pulled within four, 9-5.
Stoughton scored two more
times in the fifth and then
exploded for six runs in the
sixth, taking a 13-9 advantage.
Alex Zacharias tossed
one inning before giving
way to Jeremiah Jimenez,
who worked four scoreless
innings. Brady Wanninger
allowed one earned run over
the final two innings to earn
the save.
Jack Nelson, Michael Gerber and Jimenez finished
2-for-4 at the plate. Sam Ripp
and Nelson each knocked in
two runs.

Home Talent League
Merchants clinch Southeast playoff spot with shutout

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Stoughton Home Talent pitcher Erick Sperloen made it to the

eighth inning with a no-hitter,
and the Merchants clinched a
Southeastern Section playoff
berth with a 4-0 win over McFarland Sunday at Slettum Field.
The host Merchants (13-1)
scored twice in the first inning,
and that was all Sperloen needed,
as the only baserunners until the
eighth reached on a walk and an
error.
Sperloens no-hit bid ended on
a liner off of his cleat in the top
of the eighth. Kyle White just
beat the throw for McFarlands
first hit.
I had good command of everything, Sperloen said. Minus
the one walk, I wasnt too worried about walking anybody. My
curveball was working great.
The win also avenged an earlier loss to McFarland, which is the

Merchants only loss this season.
We really werent worried
about revenge and were more
worried about Clinton fighting for a playoff spot, Sperloen
said. McFarland always plays
us tough every single game, but
we werent really worried about
them. We just wanted to get this
game done and officially make
the playoffs.
Eric Gerber knocked in the first
run for Stoughton with an RBI
double to score Ben Gerber in the
first. Dave Hanson later knocked
in Eric Gerber with a sacrifice fly
to make it 2-0.
Hanson later picked up an
RBI single in the fifth to score
Kris Rosholt, and Rory Menzer
capped the offense with an RBI
sacrifice fly in the sixth to score
TJ Diprizio.

We played pretty well defensively. Overall, it was the kind
of game we want.
Stoughton once again fell

If host Stoughton remains
the third seed, it would host

north division at 7:30 p.m.
Friday.
The tournament will take
the top five seeds from the

Clinton and at Utica

took the loss for McFarland.
He allowed four runs on eight
hits in eight innings. He also

The Merchants now look
to secure first place in the
West Division and homefield advantage throughout
the Southeast Section playoffs. Stoughton plays at Clinton (10-4) on July 27 and at
Utica (12-2) on Aug. 2 to finish the regular season. Both
games are at 1 p.m.
We still have our main
starters and everybody in,
because we do want to get
that home-field advantage,
Sperloen said. Last year,
making the playoffs and
making it to the championship, we did have that last
home game.
But it would be pretty
great for our fans to have
the majority of home games
throughout.

If the third-place team on

record and a head-to-head win
over the second place team
on the other side, they get to
steal their spot.
Stoughton, which clinched
one of four playoff spots for
the Southeast Section with its
4-0 win over McFarland last
week, comes calling at Utica
Fest on Saturday, Aug. 2.
Right now, Stoughton and
Utica have clinched the top
two spots in the West Division
(Albion is locked into third
place West), and because the
third place team in the East
will have at least 8 losses,
Stoughton and Uticas spots
are secured.

place and cant catch Stoughton or Utica, although they

still have a chance to steal

Clintons playoff spot.
It is very likely that the winner of the Stoughton/Utica
game will be the division
winner, as long as Utica beats
Cambridge this week.
If the division winner has a
14-2 (or better), they will be
No. 1 seed in SE playoffs. If
Utica wins the division at 13-3
and Fort wins the other one at
13-3, then Fort would be No.

On the other side, Fort and
Clinton have clinched top
two and the other four have
been eliminated. However,
the East division winner has
not been determined yet,
and neither have clinched a
spot yet, because Albion (the
third-place team in the West)
has head-to-head wins over
both and the potential to have

equal/better record than whoever finishes second in the
east division.
Fort is very close to securing a playoff spot, but if they
were to lose both games, get
caught/passed by Clinton and
become the second place East
team, they would be vulnerable to losing their spot to
Albion.

Lazzaro: Art professor emeritus makes comfortable life in Stoughton

Web feature
We started the gallery,

and all of the sudden all these
other galleries came and
opened, Richard recalled.
So downtown Stoughton
became a nice art destination.
People would come from all
over.
Learn more about Richard Lazzaros

abstract art style.
Unusual path to art

Richard was born and
raised in Cleveland, Ohio. He
excelled as an athlete growing
up and dreamed of playing
basketball at Ohio University.
Hed also planned to study
physical education after high
school.
But a football knee injury
put an end to his plan. During
his senior year, Richard had to
watch his three loves football, baseball and basketball
from the sidelines.
He was also interested in art
and had loved to draw from
the time he was a child. But he
had not seriously considered it
as his future.
An art teacher noticed that
Richard was feeling down
and took him aside one day.
He told the high school senior
that he had the potential for a
career in art, and helped him
put together a portfolio of his
work.
Lazzaro applied to the
Cleveland Institute of Art,
where he was accepted.
I never thought I was
going to make it to art school,
he said. In fact, I got in on
probation the first semester.
Richard appreciates the fact
that the teacher changed the
course of his life. He went on
to get his diploma from the art
institute, earning scholarships
so that he didnt have to pay
tuition after that first semester.
After graduating, he was
offered a scholarship to study
at Yale University. He turned
it down and decided to travel
in Europe for some self-educating instead.
He spent almost two years
abroad, visiting the museums
and galleries of London, Paris,
Madrid, Lisbon and Italy. He

also met and shared thoughts
with many writers, artists and Richard and Giovanna Lazzaro enjoy the colorful surroundings of
political activists.

Meeting Giovanna
Lazzaros next big lifechanging event happened in
Florence, Italy. He noticed a
young woman on the street
and felt he had to meet her.
This guy whose place I
rented, he worked for American Express and seemed to
know everybody in Florence,
Richard remembered. Hes
the one who found her for
me.
Apparently, there really is
such a thing as love at first
sight.
Despite the fact that Richard spoke very little Italian
and Giovanna spoke no English, the couple married two
weeks after meeting each
other.
Our communication was
mostly Spanish with an Italian
flair or wishful-thinking Italian, and a dictionary, Richard
transformed into a garden sancutary.
said with a laugh.

Three days later, he had to
return to the U.S. to take an
Army physical.
I did not know that in
those years you actually had
to have permission to leave
the country if you were of
draft age, he explained. I
got a letter and was given a
choice of coming home to
take a physical or report to a
base in Germany. I thought
theres no way Im gonna do
that.
Six months would pass
before Giovanna could join
her new husband in America.
In the meantime, Richard
worked to improve his Italian by reading Giovannas
letters and writing his own to
her. He also enrolled at Kent
State University for a year to
earn his Bachelors of Fine
Arts degree, a prerequisite to

later attend the University of
Illinois at Champaign-Urbana
and receive his MFA.
A life in Stoughton
After growing up in Cleveland and traveling in Europe,
Richard said moving to
Stoughton allowed him to
merge my early life with my
art life. I was able to bring it
all together. I dont know if I
would have been able to do
that in another community.
He was impressed that this
small town was so willing to
embrace the arts.
He and Giovanna were also
pleased and a bit surprised at
the welcome theyd received
when they first moved to the
city.
At the time, locals still
spoke a little Norwegian on
the street, Richard recalled. It

must have seemed a bit odd
when suddenly these Italians
showed up in town.
It was heartwarming to
see how nice they were to
strangers, he said. Giovanna
didnt speak much English,
but the neighbors around us
made it so comfortable for
her. They even gave her a tea
party. They were just very
welcoming.
Both Richard and Giovanna
had lived most of their lives in
big cities, and he remembers
being intrigued with life in
Stoughton.
It was interesting to see the
relationships between people
in a small town, he said.
The community was nice,
and comfortable. And then
eventually, the kids grew up
and went to school. And the
schools were really very good.
They were accommodating to
the kids learning situation,
and we just liked it here.
Living here also gave Lazzaro the opportunity to bring
sports back into his life. His
sons Cary and Darin, who
were born in 1960 and 66,
respectively, inherited their
fathers athleticism. Both
excelled at baseball, perhaps
in part because Richard began
coaching shortly after settling
here.
I coached baseball and
basketball and youth football
programs, Richard said. I
coached every level of baseball there was.
My kids came through the
programs, he added. I started before and coached after
they were gone.
Its hard to imagine how
he found the time to teach at

the UW and continue painting and putting together
exhibitions, yet still manage
to coach (and play) various
sports.
About the time that Darin
was being named an all-state
baseball player, Richard and
Giovanna decided to open
their art gallery.
He credits her for creating
it.
Giovanna really had the
idea to start the gallery, and
have not only visual artists
but she was interested in fiber
arts and jewelry and things
like that as well various
approaches to making art,
Richard said.
He contributed as well not
only through the art he created
but also in how to approach
running the gallery.
I told her lets go into
an educational aspect of it
and bring art local people
have never seen before, he
recalled.
At that point we started to
have exhibitions that would
launch different types of art:
abstract art, surreal art, glass,
neon.
He remembers that many
Stoughtonites were interested,
but hesitant to enter the gallery.
We used to have nose
prints, lip prints and finger
prints on the windows from
people who were not sure
they wanted to go in, Lazzaro said. It was to the point
where it became a weekly
adventure for people to come
in and see what we had new
and what was going on. It was
really enlightening for me to
see how people could respond
to another kind of genre of art
if they were exposed to it.
Recent work
Lazzaro, 77, retired from
full-time teaching 16 years
ago but has remained busy
and productive.
In the past few years his
paintings have been exhibited in several museums and
galleries. He said that part of
his career is on hold as he
works on a book detailing the
history of his work.
He continues to paint regularly in a studio space above
the Laz Bistro on Main Street,
which his son Cary owns and
operates.
On weekends and when
there are performances at
the Stoughton Opera House,
Richard often helps at the Bistro.
He and Giovanna also have
spent countless hours creating and maintaining Memory
Garden in Mill Pond Park, a
few doors down from their
home on South Page Street.
(The Hub ran a front-page
story on the garden last July.)
The Lazzaros transformed
what had been a vacant lot
owned by the city after it
razed an abandoned home.
The lot had been sitting
vacant for 35 years, Richard
said, and in 2007 Giovanna
began talking about turning it
into a beautiful sanctuary in
the heart of the city.
Three years ago, Mayor
Donna Olson named the Lazzaros the citys Volunteers of
the Year for their hard work
and dedication to the project.
It seems like were endlessly weeding the garden,
Richard said on Monday.
Im spending a lot of time on
it. It looks very nice right now.
The flowers are all in bloom,
and really its spectacular.
