Alton was a true pioneer in the dairy breeding industry, said Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade
and Consumer Protection Secretary Ben Brancel, who nominated Block for the Pioneer Award to be presented
by the National Dairy Shrine. Blocks widow, Helen (above) said she is elated that her late husband will be
honored.
Alton Block will be honored in
National Dairy Hall of Fame
Helen Block remembered her late
husband, Alton Blocks, first assign-
ment as the first Dodge County Ex-
tension Agent in 1949: design a milk
house.
That was something new for
him, she said, smiling.
Something new seemed to be-
come Blocks motto for life, setting
precedence and trailblazing in any
endeavor, mostly agriculturally re-
lated. And for that, Block will be
posthumously honored this fall.
In a letter from David Selner, Ex-
ecutive Director of the National
Dairy Shrine, Blocks induction into
the National Dairy Hall of Fame will
take place on October 2, as part of
World Dairy Expo. Blocks name
and photograph will be displayed at
the National Dairy Shrine Museum
in Fort Atkinson.
It is obvious from the vote of the
anonymous selection committee that
this recognition is going to a most
deserving recipient, wrote Selner.
Blocks influence can still be felt
around Wisconsin, and indeed, the
world, today from becoming Wis-
consins first dairy extension special-
ist, to creating a cattle mating
program whose tenets became the ar-
tificial insemination industrial stan-
dard, to his groundbreaking work in
setting up the World Dairy Expo, to
promoting Wisconsins agricultural
trade as part of the Governors Trade
Mission to South America in the
1960s.
Block grew up in Eau Claire, help-
ing his father with the familys pure-
bred Jersey herd and participating in
4-H and FFA. After graduating high
school, Blocks father died, so ini-
tially he took over the farm.
Then came WWII.
Alton and Helen met when he en-
listed for service in Milwaukee.
Their friendship grew through corre-
spondence.

Excitement is building as Middleton
High School students prepare for their
trip to London, England. More than
250 students, parents and teachers will
leave for this eight-day trip on Satur-
day, Dec. 27.
The Middleton High School Band,
Choir, Orchestra and Drama programs
were invited to the 29th anniversary of
Londons prestigious New Years fes-
tivities. The band will participate in the
famous parade, which is attended by
more than 500,000 spectators and
viewed by over 250 million worldwide.
The choir is invited to the London In-
ternational Choral festival. The or-
chestra and band will each be
performing in the Cadogan Hall Gala
Concert Series, while the drama stu-
dents will participate in workshops
Developer
takes over
parking garage
City also takes first steps
towards possible Parmenter
Street improvements
The Middleton Common Council
voted last week to hand over the title to
the parking garage the city built on
Aspen Commons in 2003 to area de-
veloper Vanta.
Vanta will take full ownership of the
garage while the city continues to pay
for 75 percent of the debt. Vanta
claims they will use the garage to spur
further development at the site. City
council and staff expect future devel-
opment will create more than enough
tax increment to pay back the debt plus

Board of education gets summer school report
As the new school year begins, the
board of education takes a look back at
the districts summer school program.
Northside third grade teacher Ami
Schmidt, Kromrey dean of students
Eric Engel and Middleton High School
social studies teacher Kari Weiss pre-
sented their insights and future options
for summer school at all three levels.
The group gave what they say are
the best practices for the program.
They said students benefit most when
class sizes are smaller with no more
than 20 students, when they complete
a minimum of 80 hours in the program,
when school year curricula is aligned
with that of summer school, and when
incentives are provided for maximum
attendance and participation. They
also noted that parent involvement can
make a big difference in students suc-
cess.
The 4K and elementary school staff
were asked to participate in a survey
regarding summer school program-
ming. The survey asked staff to provide
feedback about the areas of student
need and also potential resources
needed to develop a successful summer
school program that addresses the
achievement gap. More than 200 staff
participated in the survey.
Transportation and food were over-
whelmingly marked as the top two re-
sources needed followed by supplies,
communication with parents, and be-
fore/after school care. The staff survey
also highlighted the top seven areas of
need among students. Social/emo-
tional counseling was the most noted
followed by academic, behavioral,
writing and literacy, math, reading, and
experience/enrichment.
Schmidt put forth an elementary
summer school proposal that would ex-
pand the program for next year. The
proposal includes 24 half-days of in-
struction and is modeled on Sauk
Trails program that has proven suc-
cessful. It would cost about $110,000
for 225 students and $130,000 for 325
students. The plan is to use just one
site.
Schmidt added the possibility of
adding more enrichment opportunities,
a full day for field trip experiences, in-
creasing number of students to attend,
having two sites if the budget al-
lowed.
Schmidt points out the program is
geared toward students with lower
scores on their MAP and WKCE tests
and strong consideration is given to
students of color, have low socioeco-
nomic status, a disability or are English
language learners.
Engel said a major focus for summer
middle school is decreasing the effects
of summer slide. The program would
include an hour of enrichment, another
hour of reading and writing and an-
other hour of math. Similar to the ele-
mentary program, to qualify for the
six-week program, students must be in
30th percentile or lower in MAP
scores.
Weiss said the high school summer
program nearly doubled its number of
courses offered for this year. The cost
increased from $12,000 to $45,000 but
she pointed out that the pass rate in-
creased from 51 to 71 percent.
Some board members asked why
summer school isnt offered to more
students. Leeanne Hallquist said some
students might want to take summer
school to open up more credit hours for
electives.
George Mavroulis responded the
program is focused on addressing the
districts achievement gap. He said the
biggest summer slide is among stu-
dents in poverty because they dont
have the same out-of-school opportu-
nities more privileged students do. He
also pointed out that the amount of
state funding the district receives for
the program would make it very diffi-
cult to offer it to potentially all 6,700
students.
We want to start somewhere and
we want to start with those that dont
have those opportunities, Mavroulis
said.
Municipal spending dropped after Act 10
The impact of the benefit and bar-
gaining changes in 2011 Act 10 on city
and village finances is apparent in re-
cently released 2012 municipal spend-
ing data.
After rising an average of 2.2% per
year during 2006-11, net operating
spending, a broad measure of munici-
pal spending that excludes debt service
and capital expenditures, fell 3.0% in
2012 to an average of $823 per capita
in 244 of Wisconsins most populous
municipalities.
These figures are from Municipal-
Facts14, an exclusive annual study just
released by the Wisconsin Taxpayers
Alliance (WISTAX).WISTAX is a
nonpartisan, nonprofit organization de-
voted to public policy research and cit-
izen education.
A second measure of municipal
spending features only the four largest
categories of municipal spending: gen-
eral government, street maintenance,
police, and fire-ambulance expendi-
tures. Combined, expenditures in these
four basic service areas fell 1.7% in
2012 to $552 per capita.
Among these basic categories, per
capita spending in general government
registered the only increase, rising just
0.2%. Despite the increase, general
government spending per capita was at
its 2008 level ($81). Net expenditures
for police protection, accounting for
over 40% of municipal spending, fell
0.1% to $227 per person in 2012, its
only decline in the past five years. Net
fire-ambulance spending, which ac-
counts for roughly one-quarter of ex-
penditures, fell 0.5% in 2012 to $137
per capita. Generally, firefighters and
police officers were exempt from 2011
Act 10, though non-union police or
firefighters were required to contribute
to their retirement. Finally, after a 3.8%
increase in 2011, street maintenance
expenditures dropped 7.5% in 2012 to
$107 per person.
On the revenue side of the ledger,
shared revenues (state income, sales,
and excise taxes shared with local gov-
ernments) dropped 6.7% from $136
per capita in 2011 to $127 per capita in
2012. Of the 244 municipalities stud-
ied, shared revenues declined in 233.
Additionally, per capita debt rose 0.6%
from $1,538 in 2011 to $1,548 per

Correction
While last weeks story about the
Middleton-Cross Plains Area School
Districts annual meeting was accurate,
the headline incorrectly indicated that
the school boards raise was approved
by the school board. While the board
hosted the meeting, it was members of
the audience that approved the pay
raise for board of education members.
City boosts
recycling
frequency
Pellitteri Waste Systems and the
Middleton Common Council re-
cently agreed to terms of an amend-
ment to the Citys solid waste
collection contract by which Pellit-
teri will begin collecting recyclable
materials in the curbside blue carts
on a weekly basis instead of bi-
weekly. In addition to the increased
frequency of service, Pellitteri has
lowered costs.
Weve heard from some resi-
dents of a desire for more frequent
collection of recyclable materials,
and Pellitteri believes weekly col-
lection of recyclable materials will
reduce our communitys use of
landfills, increase conservation of
resources, and save money, said
city press release. In analyzing
Middletons waste stream, Pellitteri
found that some recyclable materi-
als are being placed in the brown
refuse carts instead of blue recy-
cling carts. With Pellitteris new
Materials Recovery Facility
(MRF), it makes economic sense to
try ensuring that all potentially re-
cyclable materials are recycled
doing so will generate revenue
through the sale of recovered recy-
clable materials from the MRF, and
will lower landfill costs.

Municipal Court Report - City of Middleton
other TIF funding.
The agreement is a public subsidy
but technically not TIF. The garage
was financed with municipal bonds.
The city originally built the garage to
be able to attract business and spur de-
velopment in the TIF district. The
plan from the beginning was to sign
over the title to whichever developer
built on the site.
Vanta owns the office building al-
ready on Aspen Commons and has
been paying 25 percent of the garage
debt since its construction, which
comes to $178,000 annually.
In the agreement, Vanta will con-
tinue to pay the 25 percent until a pro-
posed 120,000 sq ft office building,
with an estimated value of $25-30
million, is constructed. Construction
is projected to take off in 2017-18.
Once construction is finished the city
will take over full payment but use the
tax revenues created from the new
buildings to pay the debt. The tax in-
crement is expected to be approxi-
mately $300,000 a year.
When I look at this it is a very
complicated agreement, stated ald.
Gurdip Brar. It looks like we are giv-
ing a discount or subsidy to the devel-
oper here, I would like this money that
the developer owes to continue to be
paid by the developer and not by TIF.
Ald. Hilbert said the cost is a drop
in the bucket compared to the amount
the city will pick up in increment that
might not otherwise be as much. He
pointed out in the past the city has
seen other proposals for the site, such
as a $5 million office building. That
proposal wouldnt require as much
parking but would not generate as
much tax revenue.
This is nothing more than securing
the building potential of the proposal
weve heard about responded ald.
Hilbert. There is no liability to the
city of paying extra costs in this agree-
ment, but we will be critical at the
time if there is another request for TIF
for the office building of how the
agreement is worded, and probably in-
clude language about guaranteed TIF
to make sure the increment will cover
the amount.
A few weeks ago the Common
Council approved $1,853,750 in TIF
for a project at the site. The funds will
go to LZ Ventures to build a 67-unit
apartment with a 27,000 sq. ft. health
club. LZ Ventures attorney, Angela
Black noted the company could pos-
sibly purchase the office building
project as well.
I would be surprised if there
wasnt another TIF request, said
Hilbert In a subsequent interview.
But there is nothing wrong with a re-
quest. We could approve it if it makes
sense to but it doesnt mean we have
to.
The Common Council also voted to
approve the first steps of what could
be up to a $2.8 million TIF expendi-
ture for improvements on Parmenter
St. The funds would go toward im-
provements to Parmenter St. north of
University Ave. up to the roundabout.
Proposed improvements include
adding another roundabout at the Lee
St. intersection, street resurfacing,
sewer, water and underground electric
maintenance, and brick sidewalks.
The council approved soliciting for
design services. Ald. Brar said ha
wanted to make sure this request for
bidding was made available to any
contractor interested. The city was
sued earlier this year for violating its
own bidding rules.
As previously reported in the
Times-Tribune, the City of Middleton
Common Council voted on March 4,
2014 to award the contract for the
construction of the new Public Works
Facility and Outbuildings, which has
an estimated cost of over $9 million to
Newcomb Construction despite the
fact that Newcomb Construction was
not the lowest responsible bidder and
had failed to comply with the citys
advertised bid requirements, accord-
ing to a complaint filed by Associated
General Contractors of Wisconsin.
City Administrator Mike Davis en-
sured a similar incident would not
occur. Davis also added the city could
save substantial tax dollars by putting
the request for bids out in the fall or
early winter. He explained construc-
tion bids are always lower at these
times because the demand for the
work is always lower than in the
spring or summer.

Challenge of Landing at
49 State Capitals in Just
Two Weeks Accepted by
Two Private Pilots
The challenge of flying a private
general aviation airplane to all 49
state capitals in the lower 48 plus
Alaska in just two weeks is one that
most private pilots would never accept.
It is, however, the flight plan for an in-
spiring journey being attempted by two
veteran pilots to raise public awareness
about smaller, municipal airports -
including the one in Middleton - that
they say are an important business
asset for cities and can be a gateway for
bringing new tourism traffic into the
area.
Called the Capital Air Tour, the
flight is being undertaken by Field
Morey, an FAA-Certified Flight In-
structor from Medford, Oregon, and
Conrad Teitell of White Plains, New
York. The pilots are using Moreys
2013 Cessna Corvalis TTx four-pas-
senger airplane for the flight. Theycde-
parted Tuesday, September 16 and are
landing in several states each day.
The idea of flying the Capital Air
Tour came to Teitell when he wanted
to raise the bar after he and Morey
completed Teitells quest to fly from
the highest airport in the U.S. to the
lowest airport in 2013. It was Con-
rads idea to land at every state capital
in the lower 48 and Alaska, Morey ex-
plained, but I thought we should do it
all in two weeks to show off just how
capable and technologically-advanced
a modern private airplane can be.
An unexpected development oc-
curred when Morey spoke with an ele-
mentary school teacher about the
Capital Air Tour. Because the entire
flight is being tracked using an on-
board Spot Generation 3 GPS tracking
device showing the real-time location
of the Corvalis TTx, the journey offers
teachers a chance to give lessons in
time, distance and U.S. state capitals.
A complete itinerary with tentative
schedule, along with the tracking map,
is available on the flights webpage at
www.ifrwest.com/cat.
Morey is an expert in adventure
flights, as he has instructed hundreds
of instrument flight students on excit-
ing real world weather flights to
Alaska, the Rocky Mountains and the
Idaho backcountry through his com-
pany, Moreys West Coast Adventures
(http://www.ifrwest.com). One of those
students, Dr. Oliver Smithies, when ac-
cepting the Nobel Prize for Genetics,
said Field taught me a lesson very im-
portant in the sciences, that you can
overcome fear with knowledge.
Each day along the Capital Air Tour
route, Morey and Teitell plan media
availabilities in cities where that days
series of flights concludes. They are
distributing information from the Air-
craft Owners and Pilots Association to
help demonstrate the value of local air-
ports, while allowing electronic and
print media reporters to get a close-up
look at the airplane being used for the
flight.
The Cessna Corvalis TTx the
fastest single-engine, fixed gear pro-
duction aircraft on the market, Morey
said, and has a maximum cruising
speed of 235 knots. With that level of
performance, we are able to plan a mis-
sion profile for the Capital Air Tour
that involves covering over 12,000
miles with stops at 57 airports in two
weeks.
The airplane being used on the Cap-
ital Air Tour is equipped with a Garmin
G2000 glass cockpit panel that in-
cludes NEXRAD radar for storm
avoidance, anti-ice equipment, and ter-
rain and traffic avoidance devices,
along with the latest autopilot technol-
ogy essential for avoiding crew fatigue.
Morey said their flight plan is sub-
ject to diversions caused by unsafe
weather situations.
September is the heart of hurricane
season and that could be the biggest in-
fluence on our route, he said shortly
before landing in Middleton last week.
A major route decision will be made
prior to leaving Wisconsin on Septem-
ber 20 as we prepare to continue east.
The remaining route of our flight plan
will all depend on the weather moving
up through the Gulf States along the
Atlantic coast at the time.

dressed Biarritz American Univer-
sity, Helen stated.
Block served as a cryptographer in
the European theater, studied in
France, and taught agriculture to vari-
ous soldiers awaiting their discharge.
In the late 1940s, while finishing his
bachelors degrees in Dairy Science
and Journalism, the Blocks lived in
crowded circumstances, in Camp Ran-
dall.
There were trailers set up for mar-
ried servicemen, Helen recalled.
She worked outside the home, as did
the other wives of those UW- attending
WWII veterans. Helen spent her days
at a secretarial shop on State Street,
hired out by various companies to do
office work. Besides reading his text-
books, Alton would peruse Good
Housekeeping, gleaning ideas for
food and menus, Helen said.
Block added a Masters in Animal
Genetics in 1953. His expertise as a
Sire Analyst required him to be on-the-
go, including moving the family nu-
merous times to small Wisconsin
communities. After graduating from
UW-Madison, he and Helen, and ulti-
mately their four children, lived in
Juneau, Shawano, Waupun, and Bara-
boo, before settling in Middleton in the
1970s.
He was a force in every community.
He joined the Kiwanis wherever he
lived, Helen said. He always was a
bell ringer, raising money for charity.
A Kiwanis member for over 40 years,
Block was given an award for perfect
attendance.
Family vacations revolved around
bulls visiting farms across the nation
so Block could inspect and purchase
virile animals for his employer, a
breeding company. According to Cindy
Boland, Blocks daughter, not one His-
torical Marker was missed en route to
places such as the Grand Canyon and
Mt. Rushmore. Boland, however, re-
called missing seeing Washington D.C.
as her father drove them past the sights.
We were reading comic books in
the back seat, she quipped.
According to Helen, a few days be-
fore he died in August 2010, Alton con-
templated an annual fall event near to
his heart: Well, I wont be having a
booth at the Dairy Expo, he com-
mented sadly.
And then he began reminiscing
aloud.
Block recounted that just before
traveling to Madison from central Wis-
consin for the inaugural committee
meeting in the 1960s, his boss handed
him $5000, admonishing Block, Take
this with you, lay it on the table and tell
them to get going!
Upon Blocks return from Madison,
he declared excitedly, Dairy Expo has
been born! I just know it will grow, and
grow, and grow. Helen said she never
forgot Altons adamant statement,
thrice using the word grow.
He couldnt have been more right.
Block would serve on the World Dairy
Expos first Board of Directors, pio-
neering an organization that will cele-
brate its 50
th
anniversary in 2016. The
five-day event boasts close to 70,000
visitors, thousands coming from nearly
100 countries, and over 1,000 ex-
hibitors showing thousands of elite
dairy cattle.
Alton was a true pioneer in the
dairy breeding industry, said Wiscon-
sin Department of Agriculture, Trade
and Consumer Protection Secretary
Ben Brancel, who nominated Block for
the Pioneer Award to be presented by
the National Dairy Shrine. Altons
work in that area led to concepts that
were new and untried at the time but
are commonplace today. His leadership
of several breeding cooperatives and
his work as a dairy consultant made a
significant contribution to the dairy in-
dustry today.
As for Helen, Ben Brancel should
be thanked for nominating Alton, she
said. We are elated!
Helen has one more reason to be
elated about Octobers prestigious cer-
emony: All the kids will be home!

with professional actors and visit his-
toric London theatre sites.
According to Brad Schneider, MHS
Band Director, This parade is equiva-
lent to marching in the Rose Bowl or
the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Plans for the trip started a year ago
when London Officials contacted the
Middleton High School for a return to
England. The High School Band trav-
eled to London in December 2010,
marching in the 2011 New Years Day
festivities. This time the invitation was
expanded to showcase the talents of
more students.
In October 2013, Roger Bramble,
Lieutenant of Greater London, along
with two fellow dignitaries, arrived at
the Middleton Performing Arts Center
to present an invitation to the students.
Middleton High School was once again
chosen from high schools across Amer-
ica based on the high quality of music
and performance that is achieved by
our students.
For many this may be their first time
traveling out of the United States on a
once in a lifetime opportunity. In addi-
tion to the musical opportunity, stu-
dents will have an educational
experience not possible in a class-
room.
In addition to performing in presti-
gious venues, students will also have
time to participate in sight seeing
around London. On the schedule are
tours of the Tower of London and
Windsor Castle. The group will also
visit the historic university town of Ox-
ford. Drama students will tour the re-
creation of Shakespeares Globe
Theater and all students will enjoy a
West End theater production.
Tom Mielke, Choral Director at
Middleton High School, took a pre-
view trip to London this summer.
In addition to the parade will be the
London International Choral Festival,
Mielke stated. Choirs from Europe
andAsiawill gather for a program with
the London Youth Symphony Orches-
tra under the direction of Justin
Doyle. There is an ambitious program
of masterworks including works by
Rutter, Handel, Elgar and some Broad-
way Show tunes. My impression with
the festival is that the venue for the
concert, the musicians involved and
therepertoireis all top notch. Our stu-
dents are in for the experience of a life-
time.
Orchestra and Band students have
been participating in a variety of
fundraisers including the Annual Fruit
sale and a Cheesecake sale conducted
last spring. During Good Neighbor
Fest weekend, students assisted the
Arts & Craft vendors in hauling sup-
plies to their tents and they set up
American flags on Sunday throughout
the community for the VFW. The GFS
Market (Gordon Food Service) on
Grand Canyon Drive has been con-
tributing a percentage of sales to BOPA
(Band and Orchestra Parent Associa-
tion) for people who have purchased
goods there and mentioned BOPA at
time of purchase. The Middleton
Choral Boosters have a separate parent
group which has also been working
hard to assist the choral students in
raising funds for London.
With the start of the new school
year, students are realizing their trip is
only three short months away.
What excited me about wanting to
go to London was I would be able to
share our music with people and be
able to advance my own musical
knowledge. While in London I am
most excited about seeing The London
Eye and The House of Parliament/Big
Ben because they are iconic London
locations, stated Emma Larson, a jun-
ior cello player.
Megan Caldwell a sophomore clar-
inet/Color Guard student stated: What
I am most looking forward to about the
London Tour is marching in the parade
in front of thousands, it will be a great
experience. I am most interested in see-
ing Buckingham Palace because it will
be cool to see where the Queen lives.
The chance to travel abroad and be
able to march in the New Years Day
parade will be the coolest part of the
tour, said senior Dan Cook, a baritone
sax player who traveled previously
with the high school to New Orleans.
New Orleans was really educational
and I learned a lot about their daily life
and culture even though New Orleans
was just a new region to visit for me in
the U.S. For London I would hope to
get a whole new perspective about a
different countrys culture and daily
life.
Taking a trip of this magnitude will
be costly to each participant, totaling
$3,200 per individual.
As this trip would not be possible
without chaperones, some families are
sending and paying for multiple peo-
ple. Families have been making pay-
ments in installments and despite the
payment plan and fundraising opportu-
nities, there are a number of students
who are in need of financial assistance.
A mailing has gone out to businesses
this week in the greater Middleton-
Cross Plains area seeking donations to
help assist students with funding this
once-in-a-lifetime event.
We want to ensure that every stu-
dent who wants to participate has the
opportunity to do so, explained Cyn-
thia Shaw, of the Middleton High
School Band and Orchestra Parents As-
sociation. Currently, the need for
grant money exceeds the available
funds. If you would like to learn more
about our trip, or to get a form to assist
participants by making a donation,
please visit our Facebook page: Mh-
slondon Trip. You can also send an
email us to
MHSLondonTrip2014@gmail.com. A
form will be sent to you to be submit-
ted with any donations.
The final payment is right around
the corner, and donations need to be re-
ceived by October 20 in order to deter-
mine distribution to participants. Any
support received will be greatly appre-
ciated and will be well used by students
in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

and Orchestra Parents Association
(MHSBOPA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization incorporated in the State

ductible in accordance with the law.

to organizers.
Learn about
natural burials
Natural Burials and Green Cemeter-
ies are the topic of the next Green
Thursday presentation, which will be
held on Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. in the Willy
West Community Room.
Presenter Kevin Corrado, the coor-
dinator of Natural Path Sanctuary, will
discuss the roots of conventional burial
practices in the US, how they differ
from customs around the world, and
how these practices impact the envi-
ronment.
Corrado will share insights from his
experiences of hand digging earthen
graves and from the personal perspec-
tives of some of the thirty-two families
who have had a loved one buried at
Natural Path Sanctuary, a nature pre-
serve burial ground located at the
Linda and Gene Farley Center for
Peace, Justice & Sustainability just
outside of Verona. He will also pro-
vide useful resources to help individu-
als be informed consumers of funeral
and burial services. Learn how a natu-
ral burial honors the natural cycle of
life and leaves a legacy of care and re-
spect for the earth and its inhabitants.
This free event is sponsored by the
City of Middleton Sustainability Com-
mittee and The Natural Step Monona
with support from Willy Street Co-op,
Madison Gas & Electric, Dane County
Environmental Council, and Richard
and Judy Fritz. Free refreshments are
provided. Willy West is located at 6825
University Ave in Middleton.
Focus on
banned books
On Friday, October 17 at 7 p.m., the
Middleton Public Library welcomes
Forward Theater Company as they
present selections from their upcoming
festival, Out of the Fire The Banned
Books Monologues. These monologues
have been written by local, statewide
and national playwrights, who have
lent their voices to the conversation
about free speech and all that freedom
entails. This performance is an exclu-
sive presentation of monologue selec-
tions by local Forward Theater actors,
with a talkback following the perform-
ance.
Performances include: Michael
Herold performing Hop on Pop by
James DeVita; Peggy Rosin perform-
ing Kurt Vonnegut Took a Grape
From My Hand by Lori Matthews;
Jessica Jane Witham performing Bad
Librarian by Sam White; Donavon
Armbruster performing The
Shameshifter by Doug Reed; and Jake
Penner performing Laffs with Two
Fs by Kimberly Megna Yarnall.
The library will close at 6:00 PM
that evening, but the front doors and
the lower-level Archer Rooms will re-
main open for this special perform-
ance. For more information, contact
the library at 608-827-7403 or
info@midlibrary.org
This performance is made possible
by a grant from Beyond the Page, an
endowment supporting humanities pro-
grams at Dane County Libraries, and
by the generosity of the Friends of the
Middleton Public Library.
Insurance for
your business
The Wisconsin Womens Business
Initiative Corporation will present a
program entitled Insurance for Your
Business at the Middleton Public Li-
brary on Thursday, October 16 at 6
p.m.
This free workshop is aimed at small
business owners as well as those who
may be planning to start a business.
Participants will learn will learn why
their business needs insurance, what it
covers, and where to purchase it. Types
of coverage discussed include: General
liability, Property, Auto liability,
Worker Compensation, Umbrella, and
Professional liability. The Wisconsin
Womens Business Initiative Corpora-
tion was incorporated over 25 years
ago with the mission to improve the
economic well-being of our fellow res-
idents through business loans, classes,
coaching, and money management
tools.
This class is free and open to the
public, but registration is required. To
reserve a spot in this class, call the
WWBIC directly at 608-257-5450 or
register online at www.wwbic.org.
Math tutors
are needed
The MHS Achievement Connec-
tions program is again looking for
math tutors.
The school is looking for approxi-
mately 40 volunteer tutors per semes-
ter to help between 50 and 70 students
with mathematics, specifically Alge-
bra I and Geometry. Thirteen tutors
are returning from last year.
The program is a joint venture be-
tween MHS and the United Way of
Dane County, along with support and
funding from AmeriCorps. In addi-
tion, the Morgridge Center of UW-
Madison is also a partner
organization.
MHS partnered with the United
Way until the 2013-14 school year as
part of the non-profit organizations
Schools of Hope program but grant
funds ended. In the past, tutors worked
with students in all subject areas, but
MHS decided a year ago to focus ex-
clusively on math this year.
Dylan Mathieu, a University of
Wisconsin graduate who previously
worked at Madison West, is the tutor
coordinator of the Achievement Con-
nections program.
Tutors will be assigned an individ-
ual student. MHS is looking for vol-
unteers to contribute at least one hour
a week and to commit to at least one
academic semester, he said. Tutoring
takes place during the school day,
which runs from 8:25 a.m. until 3:58
p.m., or after school until 5 p.m.
Tutors will start right away. Math-
ieu said prospective tutors would need
to go through an interview and back-
ground check. Volunteers are also
asked to commit to a full year of tu-
toring in order to support their student
throughout the year, he said.
If you are interested, please contact
Mathieu at 829-9862 or send him an
email.
Your help is needed to help reduce
the achievement gap between students
of color and their white counterparts
in the community, Mathieu said.
You can serve as a role model and
mentor for your student, and watch
their confidence grow. You have
valuable skills that you can share to
help change the life of a young per-
son.

Little Gym hits milestone
Local childrens gym has been
open 10 years, still going strong
A decade in business is a notable
achievement, and Bob and Cindy
Joers, owners of The Little Gym in
Middleton, are not letting it go with-
out a bang.
This is a great milestone and we
are so happy to share the excitement
with the entire Middleton community.
We would not have reached this
achievement without our loyal cus-
tomers who have supported us since
weve been in business, they said in
a joint statement.
Classes for the Fall semester began
Tuesday Sept. 2 and there is year-
round open enrollment.
The Little Gym of Middleton has
added two new programs just this year
to continue to offer the most person-
alized instruction for each child. The
Joers also opened another The Little
Gym in Fitchburg in 2008.
Offering a curriculum-based core
program of gymnastics, dance, sports
skills and other programs to promote
coordination, balance, rhythm and
flexibility, The Little Gym in Middle-
ton is based on a philosophy of allow-
ing kids to experience success in a
fun, caring and non-competitive way.
Childrens listening, social and
cognitive capacities are all enhanced
in the process, as students are encour-
aged to progress at their own pace.
Were glad that we have been able
to show local parents, for the last 10
years, the joy that developing motor-
skills, growing confidence and having
fun can bring to their children, they
said. We look forward to a long fu-
ture here in Middleton.
For more information about The
Little Gym of Middleton or The Little
Gym of Fitchburg, please contact Bob
or Cindy Joers at 608-836-3028.
The Little Gym is the premier de-
veloper of physical skills in children
worldwide. The very first location
was established in 1976 by Robin
Wes, an innovative educator with a
genuine love for children. The Little
Gym International, Inc., headquar-
tered in Scottsdale, Ariz., was formed
in 1992 to Franchise The Little Gym
concept. Today, The Little Gym Inter-
national has more than 300 locations
in 28 countries. For more information,

A referendum
will be on the
ballot on Novem-
ber 4 in Middle-
ton. A YES vote
will establish a
stormwater utility
in the City.
The Friends of Pheasant Branch
Conservancy urges you to vote YES.
Heres why.
A Failing Stormwater
Management System
Some problems hit you in the face.
Some are invisible. The invisible prob-
lems are easier to ignore and, for that
reason, usually harder to manage.
Middleton has an invisible problem,
and it runs through the heart of Pheas-
ant Branch Conservancy into Lake
Mendota.
The problem is contaminated
stormwater.
Every time it rains in Middleton,
water runs from our streets and parking
lots and lawns into an overtaxed urban
drainage systems. The water is loaded
with sediment, nutrients, heavy metals,
bacteria and, in winter snow-melts,
salt. It is all channeled toward Lake
Mendota.
The City of Middleton has already
invested a lot of money in building
stormwater detention ponds, infiltra-
tion basins and other pollution treat-
ment practices. But the funding for
maintenance of these facilities has re-
quired appropriations annually from
the Citys general revenue budget. It
competes there with requests from the
fire and police departments and munic-
ipal human service needs.
Support for stormwater management
has been erratic and inadequate. The
Citys primary containment pond is so
silted that it no longer functions as an
effective filter.
The Middleton Common Council
recognized this problem in authorizing
the November referendum: The City
has been unable to keep up the mainte-
nance of its existing storm water man-
agement projects in recent years due to
the conflicting demands upon City
funds...
Alder Susan West, Council Presi-
dent, has described the problem in
more blunt terms: We simply have a
very bad history of funding stormwater
management.
Stormwater contaminants includ-
ing 12,000 lbs. of phosphorous in an
average year are now running almost
unimpeded into the Madison chain.
There the problem becomes visible.
The blue-green algal blooms tech-
nically, a bacterial growth that have
plagued Madison lakes, closing
beaches regularly, are largely the result
of phosphorous runoff. Every pound
of phosphorous can produce up to 500
pounds of algae. Conservative esti-
mates suggest that the annual phospho-
rous load from Pheasant Branch
creates more than one million pounds
of bacteria.
Pheasant Branch is the second
largest source of phosphorous in the
chain, after the Yahara River.
The containment pond on the Citys
Westside is by no means the only com-
ponent in Middletons stormwater
management strategy. There are two
containment ponds in Orchid Heights
Park, protecting the marshland fed by
the large springs below Fredericks
Hill. Another significant stormwater
pathway runs through our kettle ponds.
Stricker discharges into Tiedeman, and
from Tiedeman flows through Lake-
view Park into Mendota. Over the last
14 years, the City has spent $1.3 mil-
lion to improve the capacity of the ket-
tle ponds to capture contaminants.
Without maintenance, the effective-
ness of that investment will disinte-
grate.
The Friends of Pheasant Branch is
partnering with the Clean Lakes Al-
liance in supporting passage of the
Middleton referendum. We appeal to
Middleton voters to do the same.
This is not only a matter of sound
environmental stewardship. Recently,
both the federal Environmental Protec-
tion Agency and the Wisconsin Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
significantly increased the level of
stormwater management required of
municipalities. One way or another,
Middleton will be forced to make sig-
nificant upgrades in its practices.
This decision is not unrelated to eco-
nomic development in the City. The
Middleton Area Development Corpo-
ration, in cooperation with the City, re-
cently unveiled a development strategy
headlined by the theme, Green for
Growth, Green for Fun. The premise
of the program is that environmental
quality is a key part of the Citys com-
petitive advantage in attracting busi-
ness investment.
This echoes a broader observation
that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., an environ-
mental attorney, recently made: In
every situation, good environmental
policy is identical to good economic
policy. It produces jobs over the long
term and protects a communitys as-
sets.
The proposed Middleton utility is
good public policy. And it is good
business.
A Fair Price for
Cleaner Waters
A stormwater utility is like any other
utility system: a fee is charged to cus-
tomers for services provided. With a
utility, stormwater maintenance would
be paid for the same way we pay for
the water we use and for the proper
treatment of sewage.
A stormwater utility system would
be new to Middleton, but this funding
approach is being used by more than
80 communities in Wisconsin, includ-
ing Fitchburg, Madison, Monona, Sun
Prairie and Verona.
Under a stormwater utility funding
approach each property owner in the
city pays a fee for the proper con-
veyance, management, and pollution
treatment of stormwater runoff. The fee
paid by each property owner is based
on how much runoff their property
generates. Properties with large
amounts of hard surfaces extensive
roofs and parking lots, for example
would pay a higher fee than properties
with less impervious area.
Thus everyone pays their fair share
for this essential service.
The cost to the average homeowner
will be $15 annually. Owners of larger
properties will be assessed an equiva-
lent charge based on the size of their
impermeable surfaces.
In the first year, the total anticipated
revenue to the utility is $290,000
compared to $10,000 for stormwater
maintenance appropriated in the 20144
City budget. If property owners install
measures to reduce runoff, they will be
eligible for a reduction in their fee.
Under a stormwater utility, all
budget and spending decisions are sub-
ject to the approval of the Common
Council. Only the source of the rev-
enue, moving from property taxes to
the utility, changes.
Vote for a stable, fair revenue
source. Vote for cleaner water. Vote
Yes.
Editors note: Bruce Froehlke is
President of the Friends of Pheasant
Branch Conservancy
Vote YES for fair funding, cleaner waters
Resolved: that the City of Middleton
Storm Water Utility shall be permitted to
charge customers of the Storm Water
Utility an annual charge up to $15.00 per
equivalent runoff unit from each property
for maintenance of existing storm water
management facilities without reducing
the levy limit for the charges of the Storm
Water Utility.

A message
for our
times
A fascinating look at American his-
tory and particularly at the contribu-
tions of the Roosevelts; Theodore,
Eleanor and Franklin is being aired on
PBS this week. When I cant watch an
episode live, I catch it later on my com-
puter.
I drank this mornings coffee, re-
watching parts of episode two, that de-
tailed most of Theodores presidency.
I was surprised by the similarities be-
tween the turn of the century, and the
influences on American politics today.
Between Abraham Lincolns terms
in office and Teddys election, political
party machines controlled what did and
did not happen on Capital Hill more
than the presidents did. Financial gi-
ants, whose power grew steadily
through corporate trusts formed during
the industrial revolution, gave orders
that many senators followed without a
second thought.
Only a handful of men, about 250,
dictated what happened in this country.
They controlled the rates that farmers
could earn for their products and also
the wages and hours of the workers.
They were like a legalized mafia, si-
phoning off hefty profits from their
corporations, paying workers low
wages and forcing them to endure up
to twelve hour days for six days a
week, most often in very poor working
conditions, and dictating the cost of
everything, from canned carrots to
coal. They crushed small businesses
that dared to compete with them.
J. Pierpont Morgan spoke for the
majority of them when he said, I owe
the public nothing.
According to the PBS special, Mor-
gans words ran counter to the values
of Theodore Roosevelt, whose family
had instilled in him a value of altruism
. . . . . and the virtue of helping out
ones fellow man. He had an inbred
sense of responsibility toward society.
In a speech given early in his presi-
dency, Theodore said, The rich man
should be held to the same accounta-
bility as the poor man. But, when the
rich man is rich enough to buy advice
from very able lawyers, this is not al-
ways easy.
There were no corporations nor
banks when the American constitution
was written. It was a document written
for the people and in support of a soci-
ety that guaranteed everyones rights to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.
A system of checks and balances
was created within the constitution to
keep greedy individuals and groups
from thwarting true democracy.
Without organized labor, the only
counterweight to help capitalism re-
main a viable economic tool, rather
than a way for greedy individuals to
exploit the system, is government.
And, that can only be done by a gov-
ernment comprised of public servants
and an informed electorate who cannot
be bought.
It takes work to siphon through po-
litical ads and counter ads to ascertain
the truth about a candidate. It takes
discernment and wisdom to sort
through the inflammatory, misleading
remarks. It takes self-control not to be
reactionary.
When I reflect on the upcoming gu-
bernatorial elections, my decision of
who to vote for is guided not only on
the campaigns and record of the candi-
dates, but on my own vision of a soci-
ety and government that supports and
respects all people and the environ-
ment that graces us with life.
I fully agree with Teddy Roosevelt,
that the constitution was written for
the people.
It was not written for corporations or
for the agenda of self-serving individ-
uals cunning enough and greedy
enough to take advantage of, and then
corrupt, the very same system that sup-
ported their endeavors.
To me, the main reasons to study
history are to learn from what worked
well and to avoid the things that caused
suffering and sorrow. Even though so
much has changed since the Roosevelt
eras, the documentary contains much
for our times.
The first episode of The Roosevelts
is available on Wisconsin Public Tele-
visions website through Sept. 28. Its
well worth watching!

Fun event teaches about family safety
Finding all the information you need to keep your family safe isnt easy.
Thats why Middleton Fire, Police and EMS teamed up with West Bend

The names changed. Boy, did they
ever change.
Amazingly, though, the results
never did.
And thats why Middletons girls
golf team was a giddy bunch last
Wednesday evening.
The Cardinals won the Beloit
Triangular with a team score of 166.
Sun Prairie was second at 184, while
the host Purple Knights didnt have a
full team and had an incomplete
score.
Middleton finished Big Eight
Conference play with an 8-0-1
record, tying for the league title with
Verona.
For a Middleton team that lost
four of its top five players from a
year ago, tying for the conferences
dual meet title was a rewarding
moment.
Coming into the season, I didnt
know what to expect, Middleton
coach Becky Halverson said. I did
know that our goals were not going
to change.
The girls really stepped up and
showed me that they could compete
with the best in the state. Im so
proud of them and how far theyve
come.
Middleton senior Rachel
Thornton shared Halversons joy.
Our team is super excited to be
in this position, Thornton said.
Despite early concerns about our
young team, we have grown closer
and more confident as the season has
progressed. Being tied at this point is
a great reward for our hard work, but
we are hungry for more.
The Cardinals have been hungry
all year. But few could have imag-

Battling through adversity
Boys volleyball
team second at
Tosa East Invite
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
James Caldwell (6) led Middletons boys volleyball team to a second place finish at last Saturdays Wauwatosa
East Invite.
Adversity is something that strikes
every team in every sport.
The great ones find a way to battle
through various difficulties. The oth-
ers fade to black.
Middletons boys volleyball team
was struck with more misfortune last
week than most teams encounter. The
Cardinals learned standout senior
outside hitter Nolan Schoonveld
would be lost for the year with a knee
injury.
But Middleton refused to feel
sorry for itself. The Cardinals rolled
past Madison La Follette last
Tuesday, then had an extremely
impressive second place finish at the
Wauwatosa East Invite last Saturday.
I cant wait to see what these
guys can do for the rest of the year,
Middleton coach Ben White
said.We had a couple of guys com-
pletely new to playing and they more
than held their own.
As I told some of the parents
after the matches on Saturday, just
wait until we actually figure out how
to play.Guys did so well on guts and
determination. They arent going to
let their captain, Nolan, down this
year.That I can guarantee.
Middleton opened with a 25-23,
25-21 win over 14th-ranked Nicolet
at the Wauwatosa East Invite.
Middleton rode the hot hand of
senior outside hitter James Caldwell
throughout the match. Blake
Sprecher, Jordan Futch, Andrew
Gardner and Pace Balster all had
strong matches, as did senior setter
Derek Kalvin and freshman libero
Thomas Robson.
Our goal for the weekend was to
advance into the gold pool and to do
that we knew wed have to play a
very smart and balanced Nicolet
team, White said. We had a big
size advantage on them, but we
knew they were going to keep the
ball in play. I was again impressed
with our balance.
Middleton followed that with a
25-22, 25-17 win over Racine Park.
It was definitely an ugly match,
as we played probably our worst vol-
leyball of the year right after playing
some of our better volleyball,
White said. I dont know how we
were able to survive, but we did and
that moved us to the Gold Bracket.

Far
from
perfect
SUN PRAIRIE The best player
on Ashley Field was also the last to
leave last Friday night. And he didnt
go empty handed.
Sun Prairies massive defensive
tackle Devin Webster exited with
whats called the Hog Hammer a
large sledge hammer that typically
goes to Sun Prairies top offensive
linemen.
On this night, though, Sun Prairie
coach Brain Kaminski changed the
rules and gave it to a defensive player.
And the way Webster played against
Middleton, they might want to rename
it Websters Hammer.
Webster had four sacks, forced two
fumbles, blocked a punt and had
Middleton on its heels all 48 minutes.
When Middleton couldnt stop
Webster, he stopped its march towards
a perfect season and powered Sun
Prairie to a 20-17 win.
These last couple weeks Ive been
showing I can be really dominant,
controlling the line of scrimmage,
said the 6-foot-2, 295-pound Webster.

Soccer Cards
hit rough patch
Adversity has struck for the first
time this season.
Unexpected setbacks. Painful
defeats.
Now, well see how Middletons
boys soccer team responds.
The Cardinals, who entered the
week ranked No. 2 in the latest
Wisconsin Soccer Coaches
Association poll, went 1-2-1 last
week. Middleton fell to 9-2-2 on the
season, but still leads the Big Eight
Conference with a 5-1 record and 15
points.
We still control our own destiny in
the Big Eight Conference as the sole
leaders, Middleton coach Ben
Kollasch said.
Thats certainly true. But the path
to the top of the league got tougher
last week.
Middleton defeated Sun Prairie, 2-
1, last Tuesday. But the Cardinals fell
to second place Madison Memorial, 2-
0, last Thursday.
Memorials win gave it 14 points in
the league, and left it tied for second
place with Madison West, one point
behind Middleton.
Middleton fell into a 1-0 hole
against Sun Prairie when the hosts
scored off a corner kick in the seventh
minute. But Middletons Gabe
Garlough-Shah scored a penalty kick
in the 28th minute to make it 1-1.
Noah Steiner gave Middleton a 2-1
lead when his blast went off the hands
of the Sun Prairie keeper. Middleton
then took a 3-1 lead in the 42nd
minute when Devin Ott scored a
rebound goal.
Middleton controlled play in the
second half, even though neither team
scored.
A good win that saw us come
from behind after a early goal,
Kollasch said. We needed to push to
get ahead, but we had the better part of
the play for most of the game and it
was a matter of time until we scored.
This win showed our mettle.
The Cardinals suffered their first
loss of the year, though, two days
later. Madison Memorial scored an
early goal, then took a 2-0 lead just 31
seconds before halftime.
Middletons second half chances
were few and far between, and
Memorial exited with a huge win.
This was a big game and the guys
knew it, Kollasch said. Memorial
has been a rival to win conference for
two decades in the Big Eight and this
was our first grudge match of the year.
Perhaps because the guys took this
one personally, it seems to have
thrown them off their game.
We did not play as we had hoped.
I tell the guys that we need to learn
about ourselves and the rest will
come. They are good enough that they
dont need to worry about the other
team if they play their game.
I think in this game we started
playing our opponent instead of play-
ing our game. I look forward to the
next meeting we may have in the post-
season. Our guys know that Memorial
has not yet seen us play to our poten-
tial.
Middleton and Kimberly then
played to a 1-1 tie at the Muskego
Invite Friday night.
Kimberly took a 1-0 lead in the
21st minute. But Garlough-Shah
evened things in the 51st minute and
the teams finished deadlocked.
We started well and were showing
a good run of play when Kimberly got
a goal we sloppily presented to them
on a platter, Kollasch said. Our
reaction to our mistake was not good.
It took us another half to recuperate
and dominate again.
Middleton then fell 1-0 to Muskego
on Saturday in a game that featured
heavy rains, huge winds and a weather
delay.
We never did find our stride in this
game, Kollasch said. This is a team
that can play fast, run fast and swarm
over opponents, but we never did. We
failed to make adjustments to weather
and wind. The mettle we had showed
against Sun Prairie wore thin and we
need to rebalance ourselves.
On deck: Middleton traveled to
Madison West Tuesday in a game that
will help determine the conference
champion. The Cardinals are also at
Sauk Prairie Thursday.

Middletons boys soccer team is hoping to bounce back from a rough week.
Megan Cabalka loves to challenge
her Middleton girls swimming team.
And nothing poses a better test than
the Waukesha South Invitational.
The star-studded event last
Saturday included the states top-three
teams. And even though Middleton
hoped for better than a fifth place fin-
ish, the experience should help it
down the road.
Hartland Arrowhead won the meet
with 386 points, while Waukesha
South/Mukwonago was second (260).
Cedarburg (247), Verona-Mount
Horeb (243) and Middleton (231)
rounded out the top-five.
This is typically a tough meet for
the girls simply because of where in
the season it falls, Cabalka
said.They are physically and mental-
ly tired and we know that the level of
performance will reflect that.
At the end of the day, the girls
swam very well. By no means was it
our best performance, but the girls
surprised me a little bit with their abil-
ity to hold the times they had been
going up to this point.Some even left
with seasonal bests.
Victoria Lin was third in the 100-
yard fly (1:00.24) and Emma
Karbusicky was fourth in the 100-yard
breaststroke (1:09.11). Samantha Roll
was sixth in the 100-yard freestyle
(55.34) and Paige Prestigiacomo was
ninth (56.15) in the same event.
Tryn Peterson was seventh in the
100-yard backstroke (1:01.52), while
Lin (1:01.59) and Chiara Pierobon-
Mays were eighth and ninth, respec-
tively.
Roll was seventh in the 200-yard
freestyle (1:59.36), Caroline Hippen
was 11th (2:00.49) and Prestigiacomo
was 12th (2:00.53). Karbusicky was
also seventh in the 200 yard IM
(2:16.06), while Pierobon-Mays was
12th in the 50-yard freestyle (25.97).
Hippen was also eighth in the 500-
yard freestyle (5:23.36).
Middletons 200-yard medley relay
team of Lin, Karbusicky, Chiara
Pierobon-Mays and Hippen was fifth
(1:52.54). The Cardinals 400-yard
freestyle relay team of Roll, Hippen,
Margaret McGill and Prestigiacomo
was fifth (3:46.33).
And Middletons 200-yard
freestyle relay team of Roll, Lin,
Pierobon-Mays and Prestigiacomo
was seventh (1:42.84).
We were up against the top three
teams in the state (Arrowhead,
Waukesha South/Mukwonago and
Cedarburg) and this meet gave us a lot
of perspective on where we fit into the
picture, Cabalka said. The girls did
not allow themselves to be intimidated
by other teams and held their own
against some very fast competition. I
think this meet allows us to refocus
our goals and push forward into some
very intense training with a new set of
things to improve upon.
Middleton also notched an impres-
sive, 116-54 win over Sun Prairie last
Friday.
Middletons quartet of Lin,
Karbusicky, Pierobon-Mays and Roll
won the 200-yard medley relay
(1:52.23). Middletons 200-yard
freestyle relay team of Pierobon-
Mays, Lin, Hippen and Prestigiacomo
was also first (1:42.09). And
Middletons 400-yard freestyle relay
team of Prestigiacomo, Hippen,
McGill and Roll was first (3:47.78).
Prestigiacomo (1:03.31), Pierobon-
Mays (1:03.71) and Peterson (1:04.11)
swept the top three spots in the 100-
yard fly. Lin (1:02.62), Peterson
(1:03.55) and Hippen (1:06.14) also
went 1-2-3 in the 100-yard back-
stroke.
Karbusicky won the 200-yard IM
(2:17.37) and Lin was second
(2:21.90). Karbusicky also won the
100-yard breaststroke (1:08.99) and
Morgan Pincombe was third
(1:16.39).
Roll won the 50-yard freestyle
(25.36) and Prestigiacomo was third
(26.06). Roll also won the 500-yard
freestyle (5:36.15) and Kalvin was
third (5:50.07).
Elise Hokanson, Lauren Kalvin
and Maggie Mangas were second,
third and fourth, respectively, in the
200-yard freestyle. Hippen, McGill
and Pierobon-Mays were also second,
third and fourth in the 100-yard
freestyle.
Going into this meet we knew that
we wanted a different result than last
year, Cabalka said. We really strug-
gled to swim at the level we were
capable of last year and nearly lost the
meet.So, the girls were determined to
leave with a different result this year.
We played around with the line-up
to give the girls a much needed break
from their typical events.This can be
a little scary, especially when you
swim a team like Sun Prairie, who has
some of the states best swimmers.
The girls held up their end of the
bargain, though, and competed at an
incredibly high level. It was so much
fun watching them swim.I think they
proved to themselves that they are
capable of achieving anything they set
their minds to and proved that they are
a highly improved team from the
beginning of the season.

MHS swimmers
fifth at Waukesha
South Invite
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Emma Karbusicky and Middletons girls swimming team was fifth at last Saturdays Waukesha South Invite.
Middletons girls and boys cross
country teams both raced to third
place finishes at last Tuesdays Big
Eight Conference Grade Level
Challenge.
Madison West won the girls race
with 27 points. Madison Memorial
(32), Middleton (46), Sun Prairie (83)
and Janesville Parker (93) rounded out
the top five.
The event features races for each of
the four grades. Team scores are then
determined by counting the top seven
overall scores.
The Cardinals rested four of their
top female runners due to a heavy
recent schedule. But Middletons run-
ners that did compete had strong days.
Middleton sophomore Callie
Stafford finished second in her grade
with a time of 20 minutes, 28.90 sec-
onds. That was Staffords best-ever
time by 11 seconds.
Callie has been one of the best
surprises of this season so far,
Middleton co-coach Isaac Mezera
said. She has provided consistent sub
21-minute times, and this 11-second
(personal record) ties her as our third
fastest girl this season.
Milena Martin was fifth in the jun-
ior class (20:57.94) and Bobbi Patrick
was sixth among seniors (19:40.52).
Milena ran an extremely aggres-
sive race, putting herself in some dis-
comfort early on, Mezera said. She
was rewarded with her first sub 21-
minute 5K.
Bobbi did something were hop-
ing will become a trend among our
girls breaking the 20-minute
mark.
Freshman Charlotte Sue was sixth
in her grade (20:28.27) and Jenny
Mangas was eighth among seniors
(20:56.26). Autumn Grim was ninth in
the junior race (22:00.07) and Erika
Radar was 10th among freshmen
(21:31.81).
The Grade Level Challenge was a
chance for some of our younger girls
to shine, Mezera said.Were gradu-
ating some quality runners at the end
of this season, and its nice to see that
the program will be in good hands for
years to come.
Middletons boys also finished
third.
Madison La Follette won the race
with an impressive 15 points. Madison
West (40), Middleton (48), Janesville
Craig (53) and Madison Memorial
(55) rounded out the top five.
Middletons Jack Radar won the
freshman race in 16:58.1. Gus
Newcombe was second among sopho-
mores (16:21.01).
Christian Lindblom (16:45.45) and
David Marrone (17:24.47) were fifth
and seventh, respectively among jun-
iors. Zach Shoemaker-Allen
(17:04.72) and Hayden Johnston were
ninth and 12th, respectively, among
seniors. And Sam Jaeger was 12th
among freshmen (18:42.87)
This completion has always been
fun for the athletes because they com-
pete against other athletes in their
grade, Middleton co-coach Cindy
Bremser said.
Middletons girls tennis team won
three Big Eight Conference matches
last week and improved to 8-0 in the
league.
The Cardinals had a chance to
clinch the outright conference title
Tuesday when they hosted Janesville
Craig.
Middleton opened the week with a
6-1 win over Madison West last
Tuesday.
Kaisey Skibba notched a 6-1, 6-3
win at No. 1 singles. Emily
Oberwetter posted a 6-3, 6-2 victory at
No. 2 singles, and Liddy Whitenour
earned a hard fought, 6-7 (3), 7-5, 6-0
win at No. 4 singles.
Allison Ragsdale and Abbey
Webber rolled to a 6-1, 6-1 win at No.
1 doubles. Baylie Gold and Lauren
Coons rolled, 6-0, 6-0 at No 2 dou-
bles, while Megan Peyton and Jessica
Wang won at No. 3 doubles, 6-0, 6-3.
Middleton then toppled Madison
La Follette, 7-0, last Wednesday.
Skibba, Oberwetter, Whitenour and
Ally Hujanen notched singles wins.
In doubles play, the teams of
Ragsdale-Webber, Wang-Coons, and
Peyton-Emily Bruhn all notched wins.
Middleton also cruised past Beloit
Memorial, 7-0, last Thursday. The
Cardinals rolled in every match and
lost just one game in the seven flights.
Webber won at No. 1 singles and
Elizabeth Boettinger cruised at No. 2
singles. Hujanen rolled at No. 3 sin-
gles, and Bruhn won at No. 4 singles.
Gold and Coon won at No. 1 dou-
bles. Peyton and Wang rolled at No. 2
doubles, while Amanda Huff and
Whitenour cruised at No. 3 doubles.

Grade Level Challenge

Middletons Bobbi Patrick was sixth among seniors at last weeks Grade Level Challenge.

Times-Tribune
Not just me, but our whole
defense. But (Friday) was something
else.
It sure was.
Webster forced two second half
turnovers and blocked a punt, which
led to all 13 Sun Prairie points. With
Webster wreaking havoc, Middletons
offense couldnt stay on the field and
its defense eventually ran out of gas.
Middleton lost the turnover battle,
4-2, allowed eight sacks, and couldnt
overcome its mistakes on offense.
Now, Middleton, Sun Prairie,
Janesville Craig and Madison La
Follette are all tied atop the Big Eight
Conference with 4-1 records, setting
up what should be a thrilling final
month.
Were extremely disappointed.
We did not play one of our better foot-
ball games, Middleton coach Tim
Simon said. But the conference
championship is still here for us to get.
Were going to get to work right away
and come out, dig our heels in and
hopefully our best football is still in
front of us.
The teams were tied, 7-7, at half-
time, when Webster began taking over
the game.
On Middletons first possession of
the second half, Webster sacked quar-
terback Kellan Schulz and forced a
fumble that the hosts recovered at the
MHS 30-yard line.
Sun Prairie managed just two yards
in three plays, but standout kicker
Coby Oswalt banged home a 45-yard
field goal for a 10-7 lead with 7:12 left
in the third quarter.
Middletons offense went three-
and-out on its next possession.
Webster then blocked Middletons
punt and recovered it at the 29-yard
line.
Middletons defense again was ter-
rific and didnt allow a first down. But
this time, Oswalt drilled a 40-yard
field goal from the left hash that gave
Sun Prairie a 13-7 lead.
Our kicker was amazing,
Webster said. He was hurt at the start
of the week, but he really came
through. He was just amazing.
Middleton pulled within 13-10
early in the fourth quarter on a 28-yard
field goal by Declan Whinnery. The
short kick was set up when Sun Prairie
fullback James Pontius fumbled at his
own 13-yard line, and Middleton cor-
nerback Nick Maes recovered.
But Webster quickly titled the field
back in Sun Prairies favor.
Middleton began from Sun
Prairies 48-yard line with 4:29 left.
But on the first play, Webster again
sacked Schulz and forced a fumble
that Sun Prairie linebacker Noah
Frassetto recovered.
That was a pretty talented
defense, Schulz said. I felt like we
had a great week of practice, especial-
ly for the O-line. But it seemed like
the O-line came out here, especially
the first half, and were a little bit
intimidated almost.
(Webster) is a (heck) of a football
player. But the coaches were even
pointing it out that it seemed we were
scared of him. Hes not just strong,
hes quick and fast.
Middletons defense is quick and
fast, too, and for the first 20 minutes
of the second half, it didnt allow a
single first down. But after Websters
second strip sack of the night,
Middletons defense finally broke.
On Sun Prairies first play, senior
running back Noah Diaz shot off right
tackle and raced away from
Middletons defense for a 47-yard
touchdown and a 20-10 lead with 4:10
remaining.
That kid is good. Really good,
Simon said of Webster. And when
you have to spend some of your plays
with two guys on him, that frees up a
backer. When we gave our quarter-
back time, we had receivers open. It
was just a matter of giving him
enough time.
Middleton still had time to make
things interesting.
Thanks to 23- and 27-yard runs by
junior tailback Cam Maly (134 yards),
Middleton quickly marched to Sun
Prairies 8-yard line. After three plays
netted five yards, Middleton had a
fourth-and-goal at Sun Prairies 3-
yard line.
Simon could have opted for a field
goal that would have pulled
Middleton within 20-13 with 3 min-
utes left. Instead, he went for it on
fourth down, and Schulzs pass was
incomplete.
I thought about the kick, but we
were over on the right hash, which is
tough for a right footed kicker,
Simon said. And we had 3 yards to
go. We thought our chances of scoring
a touchdown were as good, if not a lit-
tle bit better.
Middleton forced a quick three-
and-out. And on its first offensive
play, Schulz hit senior tight end
Mitchell Herl with a 41-yard touch-
down that pulled Middleton back
within 20-17 with 1:22 remaining.
That definitely gave us some
hope, Schulz said. Our O-line did a
fantastic job on that play, I was able to
step up and Mitchell was wide open,
ran a great route. Basically everybody
did their job on that play, and thats
what were capable of when that hap-
pens.
Middleton, which was out of time-
outs, had one last chance with an on-
sides kick. Middleton actually recov-
ered Whinnerys squib kick, but it
touched the ball before it traveled the
mandatory 10 yards and Sun Prairie
prevailed.
Its gut check time, Simon said.
Anybody can have great emotion and
great character when things are going
your way. Now its time to see what
were made of.
Middleton managed just two first
downs and 89 total yards in the first
half. But 53 of those yards came when
Maly took an option pitch left, had a
world of space, then deked out a
defensive back on his way to the end-
zone for a 7-0 Middleton lead midway
through the first quarter.
Sun Prairie answered midway
through the second quarter when jun-
ior quarterback J.P. Curran scored on a
1-yard sneak to even things, 7-7. Sun
Prairie only had to go 38 yards for the
score following a fumble by Schulz.
That was the beginning of the mis-
takes for Middletons offense. Now,
Middleton must regroup in a hurry to
keep its dreams of a conference title
alive.
Its definitely still there for us,
Schulz said. This will definitely
motivate us the rest of the season.

The Middleton Invitational is one of
the areas top girls volleyball tourna-
ments every season.
Elite programs and standout players
invade Middleton High School. And its
always a good opportunity for the host
Cardinals to test themselves.
On Saturday, Middleton certainly
passed the test. The Cardinals reached
the semifinals of their own tournament,
before losing to Platteville.
River Valley then defeated
Platteville for the championship.
Overall, we were happy with the
performance, Middleton coach Franco
Marcos said. We saw a lot of improve-
ment.
Middleton opened the tournament
with a 25-20, 13-25, 15-10 win over
West Allis Hale. Rachel Severson had
14 assists, while Logan Welti had nine
kills and two aces. Audrey Hinshaw had
six kills, Cole Jordee had seven blocks,
Molly Zeinemann had six blocks and
Andrina McNamer had three blocks.
Sauk Prairie then stunned the
Cardinals, 25-27, 25-21, 15-8. Severson
had 11 assists, while Amber Karn had
13 digs and two aces. Jordee had three
aces, three blocks and six
assists, Zeinemann had four blocks,
Morgan Roberts had two aces, and both
Hinshaw and Welti had four kills.
Middleton rebounded with a 25-18,
25-13 win over Riverdale. Severson
had nine assists and Welti added six
kills. Jordee had six aces and five
assists, Karn had eight assists and
Meghan Bayer had three blocks.
The Cardinals then prevailed in a
three-set thriller against Oregon, 23-25,
25-10, 15-11. Welti had 11 kills,
Severson had 12 assists and Bayer
added four blocks.
They put up a good battle, Marcos
said.
Middleton then completed pool play
with a 25-20, 25-18 win over La Crosse
Aquinas.
Severson had eight assists, while
KateLyn Robson had seven
assists. Welti had seven kills and
Hinshaw had six kills.
Zeinemann had four blocks and four
kills, while Bayer had two
blocks. Gabie Buechner had four kills
and four blocks, and Jordee added
seven assists and three blocks.
After going 4-1 in pool play,
Middleton advanced to the quarterfi-
nals, where it toppled Madison
Edgewood last years champion
25-21, 25-22. Severson had six assists,
while Jordee had five kills, three blocks
and nine assists. Hinshaw added nine
kills and Welti had five kills.
It has been awhile since we have
beaten Edgewood, Marcos said.
Middleton then fell to Platteville in
the semifinals, 25-15, 25-17. Severson
had 10 assists, Welti had four kills and
two aces, Zeinemann had three kills and
two blocks, and Karn had four digs.
Middleton also spilt a pair of Big
Eight Conference matches last week.
Middleton fell to Sun Prairie, 25-20,
25-20, 25-20, last Tuesday. Severson
led Middleton with 12 assists, Roberts
had three aces, Welti had 12 digs and
eight kills, and Bayer had two blocks.
It was a good match, but we could
not get past 20 points, Marcos said.
We had a lot of great plays and some
not so great. Some hitting and digging
errors at times killed some of our rallies.
Overall, we played hard and Sun Prairie
was the better team that night.
Middleton also toppled Madison La
Follette, 25-10, 25-15, 25-11.
We went 6-3 (on the week) losing
to teams that played better than we did,
Marcos said.
On deck: Middleton traveled to
Madison Memorial Tuesday, then is off
until Sept. 30, when it travels to
Madison West at 6:30 p.m.
Making their mark
Girls spikers
reach semis at
own invite
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Logan Welti and Middletons girls volleyball team reached the semifinals of
their own invite last Saturday.
There, Middleton faced 10th-
ranked Wauwatosa East a program
thats consistently one of the states
elite. But the Cardinals posted an
extremely impressive 25-19, 25-23
win.
Caldwell had a huge match with
17 kills and just four errors.
Middleton also had just eight hitting
errors in the entire match and had a
stellar .350 hitting percentage.
These games were intense and
battles, White said. Our defense
was outstanding.
There was no secret to the
offense we were going to run. We
were going to get James the ball and
see if they could stop him. They
couldnt.It was very impressive.
Wauwatosa East would constant-
ly call out where James was and just
yell, They are going to No. 6.It did-
nt matter. James had his way in this
match.
That vaulted the Cardinals into the
title match, where they fell to No. 3
Racine Horlick, 23-25, 27-25, 20-18.
Middleton trailed Game 1, 12-5.
But the Cardinals rallied back and
pulled out a thrilling win.
Neither team led by more than
three points in Game 2, but Horlick
prevailed. Then in Game 3, the teams
were tied, 18-18, before Horlick
scored the final two points to claim
the title.
Ive been coaching for a long
time now 14 years and Ill say
this was one of the most fun matches
I have coached in, White said.This
was an absolute slugfest.
Maybe as the year moves along
well learn that we can tip and roll
shots a little more to make a team
play defense, but on Saturday it was
big boy against big boy.I couldnt be
more proud of how the team played.
Caldwell had one of the best days
youll ever see, finishing with 60
kills, 18 digs, four blocks and two
aces.
When we got to Tosa East, I
looked at James and said, Your goal
for today is 50 kills, White said.
He smiled and said okay. I dont
know if he thought I was serious or
not, but I was. James is a special
player and he proved that on
Saturday.
Kalvin had 86 assists on the day,
while Futch had 13 kills and Sprecher
had 12 kills and four blocks.
Robson had 34 digs, Ben
Hershberger and Kevin McMahon
both had two aces, and Balster had
four blocks.
What I didnt know was going to
happen was that our defense was
going to rise to the challenge and a
bunch of guys with very little experi-
ence were going to improve rapidly,
White said.
Middleton also cruised past
Madison La Follette, 25-9, 25-20, 25-
13.
Caldwell had 15 kills, 10 digs,
four blocks and two aces. Kalvin
added 15 assists and Robson had 10
digs.
We went into the match knowing
we were going to use a different line-
up each game, White said. I feel
bad for the team that scouted us that
night because we wanted to give
everyone a chance and move people
around.
For the most part we handle the
challenge well. We didnt have a
great flow, but some guys did very
well.

ined theyd eat this well.
Middleton finished third at the
WIAA Division 1 state meet last sea-
son, but most expected a dip after
heavy graduation losses. Instead, the
Cardinals have maintained their win-
ning ways and remained one of the
states elite outfits.
Junior Loren Skibba, Middletons
lone returnee, has been an anchor.
Newcomers like Thornton, sopho-
mores Alexis Thomas, Morgan
Narowetz, Lindsay Callahan and
Morgan Miles have provided a huge
lift, as well.
I wouldnt say Im necessarily
surprised, but it makes me really
thrilled because nobody really
expected us to be able to challenge
Verona, Skibba said. And it made
us focus and work harder for the
match and we got through it.
At the Beloit Triangular, Skibba
had a pair of birdies and led the
Cardinals with a 38. Thomas closed
her round with consecutive birdies
and fired a 42. Both Thornton and
Callahan shot 43s.
Being a girl of fall as we call
ourselves comes with high expec-
tations and lofty goals, Thornton
said. And our team lives to achieve
them.
Now that the Cardinals have
achieved one of their goals, plenty
more await.
Middleton was at the Big Eight
Conference tournament Sept. 24 at
Evansville Golf Club.
The WIAA Division 1 Madison
West Regional is Oct. 1, and
Middleton hosts a sectional on Oct.
7.
Our next goal is to win the con-
ference tournament, Halverson said.
I believe that they can do it, I just
need them to believe in themselves.
The Cardinals certainly believe.
The last six weeks have given them
plenty of reason for that.
