Referendum looms as board reviews financesScott De laruelle


While things are improving inthe Stoughton School District, anexpiring referendum looms likea ticking time bomb over the dis-trict’s recent progress and finan-cial picture.

That was the stark messagedel ivered Monday night by

superintendent Dr. Tim Onsager,who said the district and com-munity are “approaching a cross-roads” without some financialhelp.

“When the 2010 referendumexpires at the end of June, we willface a $3.3 million shortfall in thenext fiscal year alone without areplacement referendum,” he said.“We’ve been resourceful, reduced

expenses by millions of dollarsover the years and done more withless. Yet we cannot continue theprogress of the last few years andcut $3.3 million at the same time.We can’t do both.”

Onsager said if district offi-cials have to “cut their way” outof the shortfall, the result will be“lost staff and programs, and lostopportunity for our kids.”

“So this is the time to have aconversation about wheat kindof school district and what kindof community we want to have;because we are linked,” he said.“We’re grateful for the supportthe community has already givenus, and have been proud to pay itback. Now we have to decide what

somehow.The tragedy was not dis-tant to them, either, as Iver-son’s father, Matt (whowas seriously injured in thecrash) used to work thereand still had many friendson staff. Their first thoughtwas simple, but fitting – thefamily was going to needa new vehicle to replacethe damaged one, and theywere going to do all theycould to make it happen.

And perhaps as surpris-ing as it was heartwarming

Gore and MoreScreamin’ Acres adds new attractions

Victoria VliSiDeS


Clowns, blood and gore,or a classic haunted house?

If you're not sure whichone you'd choose, you're inluck because the revampedScreamin’ Acres hauntedattraction has all of them.

In its third year, the haunt-ed house at Eugster's FarmMarket between Oregon andStoughton features three dif-ferent types of scares for a$15 admission.

Jacob Eugster, a StoughtonHigh School junior, leads theproject with help from par-ents Carol and Joe.

The haunted attraction isspread over 6,000 squarefeet, lasts around 35 minutesand is broken up into three

main parts: The SlaughterHouse, The Manor and ThePsycho Circus in 3D, eachwith its own spooky theme.

For the Psycho 3D circus,visitors wear 3D glasses andwalk though a black-lightmaze, while the SlaughterHouse is the most gory of the three.

Or, as Jacob put it, "It'sthe most aggressive attrac-tion."

Jacob built and designed

a lot of the sets, along withhis dad and Nathan McGree,a designer and builder. A lotof the work to update theattraction is done in the win-ter, though Jacob said it’sbecoming a year-round proj-ect.

He takes pride in the

crew’s attention to detail,saying that’s one of the waysScreamin' Acres competesfavorably with other areahaunted houses.

For example, he designedone of the rooms in TheManor with wooden tobaccolaths lining the walls. He saidit took him about a month tobuild the room, but it wasworth it for the eerie look.

And it incorporates mostof the five senses. Eugster

uses smell and temperature –with some rooms hot like theincinerator room – as part of the experience.

Good props and actors

are an important part of theshow.

One of Screamin’ Acres’props, for example – a dum-my that he converted into abloody, decapitated corpse –was originally used on one of the "Crime Scene Investiga-tion" shows that airs on CBS.Another is a set of loose faketeeth in the dentist's roomthat was once used by peo-ple, Eugster said.

The scare actors are paid,and many of them come fromarea theater groups. In total,it has around 45-50 staff members.

On a busy night, Eugster

said, lines can get as longas an hour-and-a-half wait,but not only does he think it's worth it, he’s added anew waiting area with a lightshow.

Screamin’ Acres is openfrom 7-11 p.m. for threemore dates in 2013: Oct.25-26 and Oct. 31 at 3865State Hwy. 138 in Stough-ton.

Online survey aims to gauge future development goalsmarK ignatoWSKi


This week is the lastchance for area residents toweigh in on how regionalgrowth might shape theStoughton area during thenext few decades.

The Capital Area Region-

al Planning Commission isusing an online survey togather public feedback onfuture growth areas in theStoughton region. It is openthrough Oct. 29.

The survey was a lsoavailable to residents whoattended three open housemeetings earlier this month.

The survey asks aboutwhat types of growth area

residents would like to seebased on existing condi-tions and projections puttogether by staff and localleaders.

In the next two-and-a-half decades, planners esti-mate about 7,000 new resi-dents will move to Stough-ton, creating a demand for

nearly 1,200 acres of devel-oped land.The survey asks respon-

dents to weigh in on whattypes of growth they’d liketo see and where, as wellas how those decisionswill impact such things asnatural areas, commercialdevelopment and transpor-tation options.

The survey is part of the

Stoughton Future UrbanDevelopment Area (FUDA)planning, which involvesthe city and four surround-ing townships. The com-mission has been attempt-ing to create FUDAs formunicipalities around DaneCounty for several years.

Data from the meet-

ings and surveys will bereviewed by CARPC staff before it’s presented tothe steering committee inNovember.

The committee will usethe information to create afuture growth plan for thearea. Municipalities can

then use that growth scenar-io to help shape their owncomprehensive plans.

Cat found at St. Vinny’sKimberly Wethal


It’s a good thing that catshave nine lives, becausethe one found in a carengine during a donationdrop-off at St. Vinny’s haslikely used a few.

On Sept. 30, an uniden-tified female donor wasdropping off items whenemployee Mike Germanheard a meowing comingfrom the engine of the car.The cat was found curledup next to the heat shieldin the engine.

The owner’s claimed thatshe was not inadvertentlydonating a cat, because shedid not own one.

“It was a missing cat,”said Brooke Trick, anotheremployee of St. Vinny’swho was involved with theanimal rescue. “We had

just hung up posters for it

earlier in the day.”Trick stated that return-ing the cat to the ownerwas a “unique way for St.Vinny’s to give back to thecommunity.”

Gary and Penny Schum-acher, owners of the cat,named “Gander,” wereoverjoyed to have him back and consider his return “ananswered prayer.”

Back in June of thisyear, the Schumacher’sfound Gander at the Gan-der Mountain sportinggoods store near DeFor-est after returning froma church camping trip.They did not end up buy-ing the tent they needed

that day, but instead res-cued the cat whose nameis now a memory of howthey brought him into theirlives.

“We brought him home,and found out that he has ahuge personality,” PennySchumacher said, adding

that Gander will sometimes“think he’s a dog” and willeat and sleep with them.

The Schumachers foundout in the months afteradopting him into theirhome that Gander willclimb up into the engineof cars when he’s spooked,which is how they assumeGander found his way toGander Mountain in thefirst place, and how hemanaged to get to St. Vin-ny’s.

“Gander most l ike lygot out when our grand-daughter was here, see-ing that kids go in and

out of the house all thetime,” Schumacher said.“He must have traveledaround the neighborhoodbefore getting spooked andclimbing into a random carengine.”

And that’s where he wasfound the next day duringthe donation. St. Vinny’semployees initially refusedthe $100 reward, but final-ly accepted it as a donationto their food pantry.

“I really appreciate howthey were paying atten-tion,” Schumacher said.“Sometimes things like thisend up being negative…I’m really glad this had the

happy ending it did.”

City of Stoughton

Committee to discuss City Hall

staffing, personnel budgetThe Common Council will

meet as a committee Thursday todiscuss the proposed 2014 per-sonnel budget and a study thatrecommended restructuring CityHall staffing. Also on the agendais a review of this year’s healthinsurance costs.

Earlier this year the councilapproved Mayor Donna Olson’srequest to have the consultingfirm Baker Tilly look into theorganizational structure at CityHall and recommend improve-ments to it.

The study concluded that toimprove operations and createa better working environment,the city should have a humanresources director to handle per-sonnel issues and probably alsoan information technology direc-tor.

The council commissioned the

study in hopes of ending a patternof city clerk/personnel directorsresigning after just months on the

job.

The final report presented threemodels the city could consider,with options ranging from thelowest fiscal impact to a mid-lev-el cost to the most expensive.

The most expensive modelcalled for not only creating posi-tions for an IT director and HRdirector but also adding a cityadministrator to the organiza-tional structure. That idea hasbeen discussed a few times inpast years and was rejected by thecouncil each time.

The least expensive modelenvisioned creating an HR posi-tion and adding some IT support.Baker Tilly estimated the costfor switching to that could beas much $125,000 or as low as$55,000, if the city were to takeadvantage of potential fundingsources identified in the report.

At Thursday’s meeting, alders

are expected to make recommen-dations for the Common Councilto consider in its budget meetingsnext month.

Dane County

Board to hold budget hearing Citizens can offer

feedback on the 2014proposed budget forDane County at a spe-cial meeting held byDane County supervi-sors Thursday.

The meeting takesplace at 7 p.m., Oct.24, in room 201 of theCity-County Building inMadison.

The public is invitedto testify for or againsti tems in the countyexecutive’s proposedbudget. Comments arealso welcome on anyamendments to that pro-posal.

The proposed bud-get authorizes a total of $553.1 million for capi-tal and operating expen-ditures. The budget isfinanced by $358.5 mil-

lion in outside revenuesand borrowing, $48.0million of sales tax, and

$147.9 million in coun-ty tax levy funds.

The proposed budgetincreases the county’snet property tax ratefrom $3.01 per $1,000in assessed home value

in 2013 to $3.10 for2014.

Some of the largeritems are $8 milliontoward replacement orremodeling of county

jail faci lit ies, a $2 mil-lion SMART fund forsustainability projectsprojected to save $5million in operatingcosts and an expansionof the current manuredigester program.

County Board com-mittees will completetheir consideration of amendments to the pro-posed budget over the

next few weeks. Thefull board will take upthe budget Nov. 18.

Every year, state golf is twodays of walking UniversityRidge Golf Course – lined

with colorful trees and rollinghills – while the golfing commu-nity follows each swing and putt.

And yet, most years, betweenthe smiles, tears and trophy pre-sentations, something is missing.Somethingseems off asgirls are beingmobbed byfriends, fam-ily and media,when camerasclick and cheerserupt from thegallery.

Is it becauseseveral ranked

teams through-out the season weren’t there?Could it be that many girls whohad averages worthy of a statetournament were either in streetclothes walking with the galleriesinstead of challenging the field?

For the past 10 years, this hasbeen normal for teams in theBadger South, Badger North andBig Eight for both the girls andboys. It carries a danger of teach-ing golfers that hard work doesn’talways pay off.

Where is the reward when play-ers who shoot lower than two-thirds of the other golfers missstate?

This girls golf season had the

No. 1, No. 2, No. 4, No. 8 andNo. 10 teams in the state. Thismeans there were no more thantwo ranked teams in any othersectional.

I am not arguing that otherteams in the state shouldn’t have achance. They should. But it’s notfair for some girls to never makestate simply because they play inthe toughest sectional every year.

Look at this year’s girls golf state tournament and the slowplay. There were hour-longwaits on the turn in day one and30-minute waits on day two.

That was because of slowerplay by teams with significantlyhigher averages than the rankedfield.

It was even worse in Division 2,where Madison Edgewood – wasranked with D1 schools all year– won by 21 strokes and had 50strokes on the third-place finisher.Edgewood’s score would havebeen fifth in Division 1.

While it is great that teams fromaround the state have a chance tomake the field, there’s somethingwrong when the sectional is moredifficult to win than state itself.

Sure, rankings are subjective,but it is no fluke that the MadisonWest sectional had the best teamsin the state.

These teams battled it out allseason in different tournamentsand posted low scores on difficultgolf courses all year. While therecan be a plus-or-minus based on

who is voting, there should beno question whether these teamsdeserved their ranking.

That sectional had some toughstories this year.

No. 4 Stoughton, for instance,would have made state in fourother sectionals based on its score,but it missed out by five strokes.

Individual qualifiers are evenmore of a problem.

Verona’s Jessica Reinecke andStoughton’s Becky Klonglandboth made state out of the Madi-son West sectional, which wasexpected with their low scoringaverages. But that left only oneother spot open for a state berth inthat sectional.

Oregon’s Morgan McCorklemissed state, and based on herscore, she would have made thecut in two different sectionals thisyear – Hartford Union and LaCrosse Central. McCorkle wastied for 29th at state when Oregonwent as a team in 2011 but neverhad an opportunity to get back.

There have been several ideasfloating around to fix this, but it’snot as easy as simply breakingup ranked teams at the end of theyear.

The WIAA groups teams basedon region to reduce travel, and thelogistics of making a change areextremely difficult. Golf coursesneed to be reserved, which iswhy groupings are out before the

season even starts.The WIAA could guess and

split up teams, but that couldbackfire. And some years, thatwould mean sending teams to theMilwaukee or far north courses.

But there are two other ideasI can get excited for – reducingdivisions and creating a wildcardqualifying system.

Some believe that going back to one division, at least in girlsgolf, could help. There would bemore qualifiers and there wouldbe more regionals, reducing thechance of having several rankedteams in one tournament.

But smaller schools wouldlikely lose out. A school with 300students has a more difficult timebuilding a program than one with

1,500.Something must be done, how-

ever to avoid rewarding medioc-rity. Talent rises, and hard work should pay off in the end. If aschool, regardless of its size, putsin the effort and starts junior golf programs, it will be able to havequality teams vie for a state berthmost years.

As for individuals, wildcardsappear to be the best option. If you reduce the number of auto-matic qualifiers and allow a wild-card selection based on seasonaverage for the rest of the field,then add sectional scores as a tie-breaker, there would be no ques-tion of who deserves what.

The best golfers would go tostate. Period.Maybe these ideas – based on

conversations with coaches andmedia in the state – aren’t theanswer, but spreading awarenessof this problem is important. Leftunchecked, this system will con-tinue to leave deserving athletesoff the state golf courses.

I hope the WIAA realizesthat something must be done tomake sure those who deserve therewards are the ones receiving it.

“ ( A l l I c o u l d t h i n k was) ‘OMG, my house isgone!’” Swenson said.

In a phone interview onTuesday, Swenson saidthat he and his roommateNate Ytzen have only twomore nights in a hotel, andare not sure what do tofrom there.

“I’m trying to f ind ahouse, but I can’t come upwith the cash,” Swenson

said.Ytzen had renter’s insur-

ance before the fire, butSwenson did not.

According to Fire Mar-shal Scott Wegner, the firedepartment was alertedof the fire at 1:30 in themorning and had the fireput out by 1:58 a.m. Therewere 23 volunteer fire-fighters in attendance tofight the blaze, with twoengines and a rescue squadalso at the scene.

After the fire was putout, aid started to come tothe family in their time of need.

Katie Gaynor, disasterprogram specialist for theAmerican Red Cross, said

four Red Cross on-calldisaster responders wereon scene to evaluate thesituation and the amountof need at around 2:15 a.m.From there the Red Crossprovided the res identswith two or three nightsin a hotel and $100 to buyclothes to stay warm.

“We also provided com-fort kits to each individ-ual which includes basichygienic products l ikea toothbrush, shampoo/ conditioner, washcloth,deodorant, etc.,” Gaynorsa id. “Each individual(also) received a backpack

to hold their belongingsin.”

Wegner hopes that thec o m m u n i t y c a n l e a r nsomething from the inci-dent, so that it doesn’t hap-pen again.

“T he f i re i s ju s t areminder of how importantfire detectors are for catch-ing fires,” Wegner said.

The Value of Fasting

There are lots of good reasons to limit ourintake of food, ranging from health and

financial reasons to emotional and spiritualbenefits. An ancient idea that has recentlygained traction is the practice of fasting.

Instead of trying to limit one’s calories eachand every day, some scientists are propos-ing the idea of Alternate-Day Fasting or ADF.ADF regimens typically allow the person (oranimal, lots of experiments have been doneusing rats and mice) to eat whatever he orshe wants one day and then requires them

to fast or consume a very limited number ofcalories the next day. More research needs

to be done, but preliminary findings arepromising, suggesting that ADF may reducethe risk of diabetes, heart disease and evencancer. Some are even suggesting we couldlive longer if we followed an ADF regimen.

But, how might such a regimen benefit usemotionally and spiritually? Fasting and

self-mortification can obviously be taken toextremes where they become unhealthy andeven life-threatening. But, most of us sufferfrom the opposite problem: we are too self-indulgent. Delayed gratification and a senseof accomplishment is one of the byprod-ucts of a successful fast. Eating can bringmomentary pleasure but controlling one’s

appetites gives a deeper sense of lasting joy.

– Christopher Simon via Metro News Service

“When you fast, do not look somber as thehypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces

to show others they are fasting.”

Matthew 6: 16

Benoy, Kahl excited just to make stateJeremy Jones

Sports editor

Stoughton freshmen Payton Kahland Sarah Benoy entered Thursday’sWIAA Division 1 state tennis tourna-ment without any expectations. Afterall, other than Kahl neither had so muchas watched a state tennis match.

“I was kind of nervous, but if wentaway after the first couple games,” Kahlsaid.

Kahl and Benoy, who earned a specialqualifier, entered the tournament witha 16-7 record and faced Racine Casesenior Jordan Schaefer and sophomoreKaylene Quirk (23-4) in the first round,where they fell 6-1, 6-0.

“We got better with every match, butthere is still a lot more to learn,” Benoysaid.

The Vikings’ girls tennis programhadn’t had a state qualifier since 2002.

“Playing at the state tournament isdefinitely something for our team tobuild on,” Vikings head coach RyanReischel said. “The goal is to keep the

energy up.”Top-seeded twins Shelby and TillyChorney (19-1) lived up to their billingbecoming the first area doubles teamsince Annie Nelson and Emily Appen in1994 to win a state title, with a 3-6, 6-3,6-2 victory against senior Mardee Merarand freshman Katya Mikhailanko (32-2).

West Bend West freshman No. 1singles player Lexi Keberle, enteredthe tournament as the second seed witha 25-0 record but went on to add fivemore victories on her way to knock-ing off defending state champion EmilyKonon of Homestead 6-4, 0-6, 6-3 in thechampionship match. The loss snappeda 108-match winning streak for Konon,who battled leg cramps for most of thethird set.

Junior Nikki Staffen and fresh-man Aly Weum helped the Stough-ton girls cross country team placefour runners in the top 15 and on theBadger South All-Conference team,but the Vikings were still unable toovercome Madison Edgewood at

Saturday’s conference meet.The Crusaders, led by the 1-2

finish of Amy Davis (14 minutes,37.8 seconds) and Courtney Link (15:17.3) saw their top four run tofirst team all-conference honors,while the team’s fifth runner securedthe final second-team spot in 16thplace as Edgewood ran away withthe title with a team-best 32 points.

Stoughton finished a distant sec-ond with 60, paced by the fourth-and fifth-place finishes of Staffenand Weum.

“There is no shame in placingsecond to the top-ranked team inDivision II, and I am proud of theirperformance,” Vikings head coachPatrick Schneider said.

All but one of the top seven fin-ishers Saturday at the Yahara HillsRunning Course were from eitherEdgewood or Stoughton. Milton

junior Michelle Kraus (15:28) wasthe only girl breaking up the Edge-wood/Stoughton pack at the finishline, taking third.

Staffen, a returning first-teamall-conference runner, was emo-tional after her fourth place finish in15:29.4.

“I really wanted to get out andbeat Amy and Courtney for ourteam,” Staffen said. “I feel likeevery Edgewood girl was one lesspoint. I was bummed that I couldn’tdo that for our team.”

Still, the Vikings are among thefavorites to win this Saturday’s

WIAA Division 1 sectional meet inVerona.

“We probably have a better shotto win our sectional than confer-ence,” Staffen said. “We’ve beateverybody we’ve raced in out sec-tional so far, and I think we’ll doreally well.”

The top two teams at section-

als automatically advanced to theWIAA state meet Saturday, Nov. 2.“It would mean the world for me

to get to state as a team,” Staffensaid. “It would be an experience thatI’ve always dreamed about, hav-ing my team on the line with me atstate.”

Stoughton freshman Aly Weumhad yet another impressive show-ing in her first season, taking fifth,cracking 16 minutes for the firsttime this season with a 15:51.6 – aPR of more than 16 seconds. She isnow the seventh-fastest 4K runnerin school history.

Knowing exactly what was on theline for their teams, Madison Edge-wood juniors Ave Grosenheider andAbby Kothe were locked in a battlewith Weum throughout much of therace.

“The last 800, those two Edge-wood girls were cutting me off,every move I made,” Weum said.“A comment was made and I endedup getting spiked, but I knew I couldget past them. They weren’t going to

stop me.”Senior Ashley Harnack and junior

Megan Reese repeated as secondteam all-conference selections.

A four-time all-conference ath-lete, Harnack finished 11th in a sea-son-best 16:13.2. Reese took 15th ina lifetime best 16:24.1.

Fellow junior Kelsey Jenny wasthe Vikings’ final varsity scorer,placing 25th in 16:55.2.

Freshman Clea Roe and seniors

Hannah Sonsalla and Serena

Schimelpfenig also competed onvarsity, but did not score.Stoughton’s JV team dominated

their race behind the 1-2-3 finishesof Augustyna Brestar, SamanthaNelson and Olivia Nortwen.

Brestar’s time would have madeher Stoughton’s fifth varsity runnerat conference.

She will be running varsity foronly the second time at sectionals.Roe will also run varsity at section-als.

“I think we have a very solid teamgoing into sectionals,” Schneidersaid. “We have a deep enough teamthat even if someone is a bit off,someone is there to take their stepup.

“The girls have worked very hardtogether to put themselves in theposition to make it to state. They areone of the hardest-working teams Ihave coached.”

Offense stymiedJeremy JonesSports editor

Stoughton football hadeverything lined up its wayto end a 15-year playoff

drought, but the Vikingswere unable to seal the dealFriday at Milton.

In a winner-take-al lgame, it was the host RedHawks and not the Vikingswho improved to .500 with-in the Badger South with a6-3 victory.

“We had a great groupof seniors that was a joyto coach,” Stoughton headcoach Jason Thiry said.“We are disappointed withthe outcome, but not withthe effort.”

Milton advanced to theWIAA Division 3 playoffsdespite finishing the year3-6 overall, while the loss

dropped Stoughton to 4-5(2-4 conference) on theyear.

“Milton has been gettingbetter each week during theyear,” Thiry said. “Theyhad a good plan to slow usdown.“

The Vikings struck first,thanks to the 43-yard field

goal of senior P.J. Roso-wski.

Taylor Snell’s 11-yardtouchdown early in thethird quarter provided allthe breathing room the RedHawks would need.

Stoughton senior quarter-back Luke Logan finished2-of-6 for 17 yards withan interception in the loss.Senior receiver Cole Span-

gler caught one pass fromLogan for 11 of those yards.

Viking junior Zach Has-selberger carried the ball13 times for a team-high 40yards.

The goal for 2014 is sim-ple Thiry said, “We mustget more physical and stron-ger before 2014.”

path we want to take.”Onsager said the dis-

trict has made tremendousimprovements during recentyears.

“If you go back abouteight years, some of our

data was not so good,” hesaid. “The graduation ratewas less than 85 percent,the special needs was lessthan 70 percent, and thecomposite ACT score was alittle more than 21.7.”

In recent years, the dis-trict’s data has been “mov-ing in the right direction,”Onsager said.

“Our graduation rate forthe last few years has neverbeen less than 97 percentand is one of the best inthe county,” he said. “Therate for our special needs

students was almost 85percent last year. Our ACTscore last year exceeded23.4. We now have nationaleducation centers cominghere to learn how we teachkids so that they can shareour successes with otherschool districts.”

One thing that hasn’t

changed, however, is theschool’s funding situation,Onsager said.

“We are s t i l l a low-spending school district,”he said. “We are at the bot-tom of Dane County. Yetwe have never used our lowfunding as an excuse, we

still expect to compete andwe are holding our own.We have never limited ourdreams for our kids becauseof limited funds, and I don’tthink we start now.”

Levy to be setThe board will set the

final levy at its next meet-ing, planned for Monday,Nov. 4, after awaiting somefinal numbers from the statedue in later this week, saidschool finance and opera-tions administrator ErikaPickett.

at every turn, when Dill-man asked businesses Stark works with to help out, peo-ple pulled out all the stops.Now, thanks to the effortsof many area businesses,the Iversons will have atleast one less thing to takecare of, as a 2004 ChevyTrailblazer is primed andready for their use.

Stark took the vehicle inon trade, and when the salesstaff heard of the plight of the Iversons, they immedi-

ately made the connection.“They said, ‘It’s in really

clean shape,’ they took it infor the right dollar amountand it just needed an alter-nator,” Dillman said. “Theysaid, ‘We’ll get it here, andif its what we think, that’s

your vehicle to donate.’From there, it just spider-webbed.”

One call to Schmidt’sTowing, and the vehiclewas on its way from Mid-dleton, no charge. Bum-per to Bumper Automotiveprovided some parts, D&MService provided a full tank of gas, Morrison Auto Sal-vage donated a front bum-per, and Stark techniciansdonated time and parts tocomplete the project. In themeantime, Asleson’s Hard-ware loaned the family a

vehicle to drive.“We were just looking for

some help here and there tokeep costs down but provideMatt and his family witha vehicle that is more thansafe to drive that he doesn’thave to worry about, and

everybody stepped right upto the plate,” Dillman said.“It just kind of snowballed.It’s been a great, fantasticthing to be a part of. “

Dillman said the episode

just proves that Stoughton is“old school” when it comesto taking care of their own.

“Every time somebodyheard about it, they werewilling to jump in,” he said.“It’s been enlightening.”

rigorous testing process andreceive recommendationsto participate. Coursework includes college-level lec-tures, nights spent imagingand measuring light fromdistant asteroids and behind-

the-scenes tours of NASA’sJet Propulsion Laboratory,Caltech and the Kavli Insti-tute for Theoretical Physics.

Once in a lifetimeMcCune was looking for

a science camp to attendover the summer, and sim-ply Googled the subject andapplied to a few that soundedinteresting.

The “Summer ScienceProgram” was a bit different,though, and it sought plentyof background informationand answers about why shewanted to be in the program,as well as a test requiringseveral essays.

She dove in and gave it herbest.

“I wrote about my passion

for science and how the pro-gram sounded really coolbecause I would get to dooriginal research,” McCunesaid. “It’s a rigorous programand it sounded like some-thing I like doing.”

Growing up with a “basiccuriosity with stuff” but not

necessarily a science person,McCune found herself gravi-tating toward science duringmiddle school, specificallyreading books on physics.

“I found it to be a reallyinteresting subject, and I justwent further and further,”she said.

Despite the beautifulSouthern California sceneryin Santa Barbara, the stu-dents quickly got down towork. Splitting various night-time shifts didn’t help any-one’s sleep schedule.

“We would stay up until4 or 5 a.m.,” McCune said.“It was a really intenseschedule; we didn’t get alot of sleep. Mostly it waseither staying up late doinghomework or working on a

computer program that takesa lot of time to do.”

Writing computer codewas relatively new forMcCune and was anotherthing to learn on the go.

“We had a few lectureson the basics and then gotinto (the project),” she said.“When you think of doing

homework for high school,it’s more guiding you throughsomething. Here, it’s some-thing you’ve never donebefore – go figure it out.”

Major mathThe groups started out

doing “basic stuff” and later

wrote orbital determinationprograms, which they hadpreviously worked out byhand.

“You have to work out afew orbital elements, and

you have to go through everysingle step,” McCune said.“Learning the syntax of writ-ing the program was kind of

difficult, but you go throughand find a different method.”

Students took images of asteroids with a special pro-gram and checked the datawith subsequent readings.

“What I wrote allows youto enter the date and timeand it gives you the positionof the asteroid at that time,”she said “What’s really coolis the program’s not specificto the asteroid – you can enteranother and figure out wherethat object would be.”

Earth-killer?By the time 1999-KX4 gets

near the planet, it’s going tobe “millions” of years fromnow. Or maybe not. Probabil-ity plays a large role in try-ing to guess about a potentialimpact with Earth.

“When determining orbit, if you tweak one little thing, oneposition where the asteroid’sorbit is off....” she said. “Weran a simulation and found ina few scenarios it would endup hitting the Earth.”

Aside from the scary sce-narios studied by the students,McCune said the camp expe-rience helped make it the bestsummer of her life.

“The really cool thing aboutthe program is you get to meetpeople from all over the worldand share an interest in sci-ence, and you become bestfriends,” she said. “One of myteam partners was from Spain,and we had people from Paki-stan, Egypt, Venezuela – all

over the world.”

Continuing educationMcCune plans to apply

to Stanford, one of the topschools in the nation. It’s atall order gaining admissionto a institution like that, butafter her summer experienceworking among the country’sbest and brightest, she’s mov-ing forward with confidence.

“We had a college roundtable at the program and(there was) a list where pre-vious alumni had gone, andit’s very, very, very impres-sive,” she said. “A lot of MIT,Ivy League schools, which

is kind of intimidating, but ithelps me take that extra stepto apply to (top) schools.”

When pressed on whichtype of physics she’s mostinterested in, it’s a toughchoice between astrophys-ics – the focus of the summerprogram – and theoretical andquantum physics.

“I want to go into somekind of physics – maybedoing research,” McCunesaid. “I want to travel a lotand either work with a par-ticle accelerator or just becontributing to science andcontinuing to do research.”
