Hinahara said the youth cen-
ter has been lucky to have vol-

pointed out that those are not

not be a new intern next year.
Hiring a new staff position
would create another person

would lower instructor to stu-
dent ratio, which would be es-
pecially good considering the
high number of students with
IEPs, Hinahara said.
Hinahara offered a couple
suggestions for funding the new

implement a sliding scale en-

still be free of charge. She said
the city could also ask local

Mayor Gurdip Brar asked if
it was possible to get more
money from the county. Hina-
hara said that is not possible be-
cause the county gives the same

Brar then asked if the school
district could give more. Hina-

has been happening each year.

Neanderthal
When I was little, detecting
the blood of an Englishman was
exclusively the purview of
cranky giants who lived atop
magical beanstalks. But the
world has changed.
These days, all you have to
do is spit into a vial and mail it
to a group of regular-sized sci-
entists. Theyve cracked the
human genome, and they can
look at your DNA and tell you
all kinds of things.
Some, when you learn them,
seem very much like medical
diagnoses. Others, like the fact
that I have an inordinately large
amount of Neanderthal DNA,
dont feel too substantively dif-
ferent from those your mama
jokes I once endured from other
children.
If you want to know how
many Neanderthal genes I have,
the answer is probably more
than you. More than 84 per-
cent of the people tested actu-
ally, and the sample size was
enormous. I have 302 genetic
variants that can be traced back
directly to those cave dwellers.
We troglodytes are notoriously
bad with numbers, but even I
know thats a lot.

Being honest about joy and sorrow
FROM A
by BARTLETT DURAND
Guest Column
We hosted
a dear friend
recently. He
is sad and
depressed.
His wife
died in Feb-
ruary after a
year of
searching for and trying any
possible cure for the cancer. She
was a bundle of sunshine, a
yoga instructor and healer who
brought love and light into
every situation. Her loss hurt us
all, but most especially it left a
huge void in my friends life.
After the memorial service
and dealing with the logistics of
a death, our friend decided to
travel the US to see as many
friends as he can. He knows he
is depressed, and he acknowl-
edges he is tired and has very
low energy. He dives into
movies and binge watches TV
shows. He coasts along, just fol-
haps it was less of a shock to the
many girlfriends, schoolteach-
ers, and literary critics who, de-
spite no laboratory or advanced
understanding of genetics, have
been implying this for years. It
certainly explained why I like
cave paintings so much.
Before my stout, heavy-
browed progenitors died out,
they interbred with my Homo
sapiens ancestors, hence the
traces of them in the DNA in
my spittle. Most non-Africans
today have some Neanderthal
DNA. Most sub-Saharan
Africans have little, or none. I,
apparently, have a lot.
Up until now, I always chose
to focus on my Norse heritage.
Those Vikings seemed like my
cool ancestors. With bone beads
dangling in their beards as they
stood in the prow of a dragon-
led longboat, hands clutching
heavy axes, crashing, falling
and rising on their way through
a salty ocean mist, as they em-
barked on conquest and adven-
ture. They filed their teeth to
little, bloody stumps, a painful
process that drastically short-
ened their lives, for no other
reason than to terrify their ene-
mies with the knowledge that
they were willing to drastically
shorten their lives for no good
reason.
If Im willing to do this to
myself, just imagine what Ill
do to you, those bloody teeth
told their foes.
TAOIST
lowing where life takings him,
letting the flow of his travels
and interests of his friends dic-
tate what he experiences.
But if you look at his Face-
book posts, you would think he
was living the high life. In those
pictures, he is a bright, smiling
character surrounded by his
friends. The comments on his
page by his friends are of envy
of his light-hearted travel, of
how cool it is that he is taking
the time to visit the country, and
of how much FUN he must be
having.
This struck me most
poignantly when I heard a story
about a college scholar and ath-
lete who committed suicide. No
one knew of her struggles be-
cause all her social media posts
were FUN! staged to show
the person she was pretending
to me. And it masked her pain
and despair, further dividing her
public image from her experi-
enced reality.
Our society wants to hear
about the triumphs. We want the
underdog who struggles to win
Even their gods were cool.
They had names like Odin and
Thor, and they loved to fight,
drink and party. I knew they
werent my only ancestors, but
I figured their genes, being
made of fire, iron and ice,
would have sacked and pillaged
any non-Viking DNA in me.
They came up with the best
names. Names like Skull Split-
ter and Fork Beard and
Blood Axe. One of their lead-
ers was called Ivar the Bone-
less, which some people think
refers to missing limbs, and oth-
ers think it means he had a rare
genetic disorder.
Vikings were crazy and wild,
and they were my great, great
grandparents many times over.
Except they arent. Not to
any spectacular degree, at least.
My DNA revealed Im only
14 percent Scandinavian. Most
of my ancestors are genetically
English and Irish. That means I
no longer have to eat lutefisk,
which is nice. It also means my
ancestors were the ones being
raided by Vikings, not the ones
doing the raiding. It means most
of my ancestors werent stand-
ing in the prow of a boat, crash-
ing through stormy seas, with
blood dripping from their teeth.
No, most of my ancestors were
harvesting wheat in their little
villages, praying the furious
men of the North would not
cleave them in twain and take
all seven of their earthly posses-
sions.
Then, at some point, their
vastly different cultures came
together. Some invaders stayed
and settled and farmed. People

they had children together.

but only tell us the story
when the ending is good. We
frown upon whining, upon ex-
cuses, upon dark moods.
One of the symbols of Tao-
ism is the yin/yang circle popu-
larized, at least for me, in 1970s
rock album covers. Youve seen
it: it is the circle made up of two
equal but opposite teardrops,
one black one white. In the cen-
ter of each shape is a smaller
circle of the opposite color.
There are a lot of esoteric mean-
ings to the symbol, but at its
base is the concept that life is a
balance of light and dark, of op-
posite energies (not necessarily
good and bad). The two are icate to spin up quickly in the
in a dynamic dance, with one
flowing into the other, and even
in the places where the shapes
are most dramatically light or
dark, the essence of the other
emerges (the smaller circle
housed in the midst of its oppo-
site color).
The necessity of this balance
was once explained to me this
way: if all were light, how
would you know? You literally
Opinion
our explosion of knowledge and
progress, we cant even get peo-
ple with slightly different polit-
ical beliefs into the same room
with one another. Conservatives
cant tolerate people who dont
believe in the exact same ver-
sion of the Christian god as
them. Liberals brag about how
outraged they are by everything
that exists outside the margins
of their narrow worldview, ac-
cusing anyone without an iden-
tical philosophy of being a
bigot, and somehow doing it
without a hint of irony.
These days, a Methodist and
a Lutheran being civil to one
another feels like real progress.
And they are reading from the
same bible, in the same lan-
guage, about the same god,
while wearing the same clothes
and eating the same food.
A thousand years ago, an ox
herd or cheese maker who be-
lieved in Jesus fell in love with
a raider Viking who believed in
Thor and Odin. They spoke dif-
ferent languages, wore different
clothes, and yet somehow they
settled down together, living,
laughing, eating and drinking
under the same roof. He would
kneel down in a Christian
church, and she would look on
and think, Oh, so this is where
you go to take refuge from
death and oblivion. He would
see her clutching a figure of
Freya on her sleigh pulled by
cats, and think the same thing.
In the blink of an eye, mortal
enemies became friends. Their
children became adventurers
and emigrants, and they en-
countered other, equally foreign
gods and people. How else do
you explain the smattering of
Native American/East Asian

saw was bright white light. The
same for if all were dark you
can see NOTHING in a cave of
true dark. Shadows, colors,
graduations and shadings are
essential to experience any-
thing.
It is my belief that too much
of our society, even or espe-
cially our medical profession-
als, are trained to focus almost
solely on the positive. How
many drugs are prescribed or
taken to avoid minor aches and
pains? How many to treat the
blues or depressions or feel-

evening party, or to mask the
stress of the day. It seems nor-
mal for us to run away from any
negative feeling and try to
achieve happiness at all
times. Not happy seems al-
most like a disease to be treated.
It has been hard to be around
my friend. We love him dearly
and have done our best to give
him both space to be sad and
more secrets. Through my
mothers haplogroup, it
traced me back to a single
woman who lived some 11,000
years ago. Her ancestors mi-
grated into Europe from the
Middle East as the Ice Age re-
ceded. Her childrens childrens
children eventually ended up in
a field in Britain, drinking ale
for breakfast and hoping not to
see dragon-studded ships rising
out of the sea that day. Their de-
scendants would eventually
board different ships and head
west, to a New World.
And now, here I am today,
living in the middle of that New
World as it slowly grows old.
Going back some 40,000
years, Im the baby of a Nean-
derthal and a modern human,
who came together through
what was surely a mixture of
brutality, pure chance, and
hopefully love. After all, thats
how we all live, and thats how
DNA mingles. A man and a
woman joined together to pro-
duce offspring, and in addition
to having different gods, differ-
ent languages, and different
bone structures, they probably
werent even the same species.
Yet once again, being together,
being loved and sharing shelter,
food, stories and DNA, was far
more important than their many
stark differences. They only had
a few things in common, but
one of them was the capacity to
love, and that mattered more
than everything else.
While all this Neanderthal
DNA does make me wonder
why Im allowed to vote, it adds
an almost infinite prologue to
my story. And stories, even
more than flesh and blood, are
what we are all made of.
I like the story. Its exciting,
surprising and terrifying with
splashes of beauty and splendor
enough contact to know he is
still a part of this world. Being
around someone grieving is a
difficult experience, but it also
has been a deeply moving for
us. It reminded us of how last-
ing a deep love can be, how
much we mean to each other in
this life, and how vital it is to be
present for each other, in good
times and in bad.
I look at social media with a
new eye these days. I try to look
past the HAPPY HAPPY pic-
tures of my friends, and look
into their faces to see what pain
they may be masking, to listen
to their comments to see if there

trying to be more real in my
own social media posts. Im
willing to let people know that
yes, this can be a scary world.
Life is not a constant, it lacks
security. There are ups and
downs. Only at the end can you
know how it turned out. (Well,
I have a suspicion it all ends the
same for us all. But thats an-
other story). In the meantime,
we only have each other to rely
at just the right moments. Any-

people, with all their different
foods, gods, rituals, genders,
sexualities, races and lan-

oversimplification. We are not

The Truth About Bullying: Numbers are dropping but not enough

Guest Column
As Wis-
consins
children
head back to
school, it is
safe to as-
sume many
parents, with
good reason,
still worry about bullying.
Seven years ago, the United
States Department of Education
actively began programs to
combat school bullying. On the
surface, the programs are work-
ing. In 2005, as many as 32 per-
cent of 12-18 year olds reported
being bullied at school. By
2013, it was down to around 22
percent. Good news if your
child is in the safer group. Not-
so-good-news if you child is

Middleton
Developer Terrence Wall is
concerned about the lack of af-
fordable housing for poor peo-
ple in Madison and Dane
County. He describes the prob-
lems as requirements for green
space, water detention, and
roads, and that favorite scape-
goat of multimillionaire busi-
nesspeople, damned
regulations.
Tenant Resource Center resumes
So lets start with green
space, water detention, and
services for Middleton residents
On July 1, 2017, the Tenant
Resource Center resumed hous-
ing counseling services for
communities in Dane County
outside of Madison, ending a
service gap created by 2015
county budget cuts. Thanks to
additional funding, the tenant
rights institution has added
staff, increased their call capac-
ity, and are now able to help all
of Wisconsin.
Services restored to all of
Dane County include:
Housing counseling. The
Tenant Resource Center gives
freeinformation on rental rights
and responsibilities to tenants
and landlords statewide includ-
ing all of Dane County. Anyone
interested in counseling
cancall, email or visitthe of-
fice. The Tenant Resource Cen-
ter has sample letters, forms,
and brochures on most major
topics and provides services in
Spanish and Hmong.
Mediation.The Tenant Re-
source Center administers a
program where certified media-
tors facilitate negotiations be-
tween tenants and landlords
one still facing harassment.
As a pediatrician, Ive lost
count of the cases I saw in both
roles- the child who bullies and
the one who is singled out. In a
way, classrooms are not unlike
fish tanks. The dominant fish
will chase the submissive ones.
Its the same way with children.
The more servile child can also
become more aggressive if they
perceive another youngster as
weaker. Just like fish, a bullied
child in one situation may be
the bully in another.
To make matters worse,
when life situations are already
difficult bullying often esca-
lates. Children who come from
low-income families, have dis-
abilities, live with one parent,
are overweight, or have atten-
tion deficit hyperactivity disor-
der (ADHD) become easy
targets for bullies.

ship between green space and a

Mature trees play a key role
in air quality; again Google ef-
fects of trees on air quality for
plenty of research articles, and
this is a good place to start:
nrs.fs.fed.us.
These are only two of the
ways that green space is critical
for healthy living.
Water detention, especially in
low-lying areas, prevents the
flooding that occurs when high
density development provides
insufficient soil surface for rain
water to soak into earth. Devel-
opers are seldom responsible
during Small Claims Court
eviction hearings. These agree-
ments are often payment plans
that allow the tenant to remain
in the apartment or move-out
dates that give tenants time to
arrange a new home. If the
terms of the agreement are met,
the tenant will not have an evic-
tion on his or her court record.
Mediated agreements have the
same enforceability as those
written by the court commis-
sioner.
Education and outreach.
The Tenant Resource Center
provides outreach and educa-
tion through local
workshops and seminars. The
organizations experienced pre-
senters give informative talks

THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 2017
by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
Middleton Police Chief
Chuck Foulke presented the lat-
est updates from the citys
emergency preparedness com-
mission at the latest common
council meeting.
Foulke explained that the
commission exists by ordinance
and includes the mayor, council
president, the fire, EMS and
public works directors and
Foulke serves as the commis-
sion director.
Foulke said all emergency
services staff participate in a
major practice event once a
year, at least. He went over a
routine a couple years ago,
which simulated a school bus
accident. He said it was a good
chance to work with the school
district and practice how com-
munications would be handled
with students families.
Foulke also reviewed a mock
press conference held in re-
sponse to a school shooting. He
said having a prepared response
for the community is an impor-
tant part of emergency pre-
paredness.
Last summer, city staff held a
full-scale active shooter training
at Middleton High School.
Foulke said a new coordination
technique was introduced,
which involves determining
what are hot and warm zones
and how to move people ac-
cordingly.
It was a great way to prac-
tice this new system and with
our school folks, Foulke said.
This year the commission is
working with Dane County and
Wisconsin Emergency Manage-
ment on a full scale exercise for
May 2018 called dark sky.
The exercise will focus on how
the city can operate without
power.
In a roundtable discussion
held already Foulke said he re-
alized Middleton could only go
a couple days without power
before running into serious is-
sues. The exercise will plan for
three weeks without power.
Foulke said the commission
has also been updating the
emergency mitigation to ac-
count for climate change and

Foulke explained that all

Its used for planned events,
natural disasters, large scale

Taking advantage of life on the lake
by KATHERINE PERRETH
Times-Tribune
On a late Sunday afternoon in
August, Middleton resident
Alex Moreno courageously em-
barked on a new venture at
Marshall Boats in Marshall
Park taking his family out on
Lake Mendota for a treat: a two-
hour pontoon boat ride.
Had he ever driven a boat be-
fore?
Nope! said Moreno with a
grin. But the weather is getting
better and better and the sun is
starting to peek, so were
going.
Marshall Boats Assistant
Manager Bruce MacQuaid
noted that pontoon customers
have ranged from pontoon boat
owners to novices like Moreno,
during the 2017 inaugural sea-

Middleton has been great!
People have responded really
well, MacQuaid said.
Despite the stormy summer,

stream of customers during the
weekdays and the busier week-

difference, too. Its a very

MacQuaid explained. With the

the pontoons can go out when it
may not be suitable for SUP.

exciting, he said. Every per-

In addition, because pontoon
boats seat up to 12, people who
may usually eschew getting on
the water now can do so.
Pontoon allows us to get
people in wheelchairs, large
groups, families, Leeper said.
We feel its a great fit for being
able to provide access to the
lake and connection to each
other.
Marshall Boats partnered
with Fishing Without Bound-
aries this summer, enabling
people with disabilities to get
out on the water, Leeper said.
Its what we need to be doing,
he concluded.
Leeper operates all three boat
rental locations at Wingra, Brit-

the latter is the only location to

MacQuaid mentioned that

Nearly 10 months after the

November.

Junior Cora Mack is one of

Mack was a key member of

Middletons coach says,

We are the team to beat
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Franco Marcos wasnt shy.
He rarely is.
But Middleton girls volley-
ball coach feels better about
the 2017 Cardinals than he has
about a team in quite some
time. And he doesnt care who
knows it.
So when Marcos was dis-
cussing the upcoming season,
he didnt hide from expecta-
tions. Instead, he simply
raised them.
We are the team to beat,
Marcos said when asked about
the Big Eight Conference.
Middleton hasnt been the
team to beat for a few years
now. The Cardinals have been
a solid, consistent program,
but they also havent been to a
WIAA Division 1 state tour-
nament since 2009.
Marcos believes that
drought could come to an end
this fall.
Oh my God, has it been
that long? Marcos said of

very realistic and I know that
the girls are also hungry for
the trip to state.

continuous growth and
improvement.

Senior Jennifer McGinnis

Final Four

Middletons HTL team rolls by
Reedsburg, wins title in North
by ADAM HATLAN
For the Times-Tribune
The Middleton 29ers had
one more hurdle to clear on
Sunday if they wanted their
fantastic season to continue:
the hot-hitting Reedsburg
Pirates.
Reedsburg, which features
six players in their every-week
lineup batting above .300, hit
.322 as a team this season. That
was sixth-best out of 44 Home
Talent League teams.
Unfortunately for
Reedsburg, it had to face
Middletons offense, which
ranked No. 1 in the league. Oh,
and they had to face Drew
Farrell.
Middleton used a brilliant
pitching performance from
Farrell, had some timely hitting
and tamed visiting Reedsburg,
7-1, to capture the Northern
Sections championship for the
first time since 2013.
Middleton reserved a spot in
the HTL Final Four, which
begins Sunday. The 29ers open
HTL play by traveling to
Montello for a 1 p.m. game.
Stoughton and Dodgeville
also qualified for the Final
Four. The four teams all play
each other in a round robin
tournament over the next three
weeks.
Its been a battle to get
back (to the final four),
Middleton manager Brandon
Hellenbrand said. Every team
is going to be bringing their A-
game. Ive got the most confi-
dence in my guys that theyll
be ready to go on Sunday.
Farrell shined on the mound
against Reedsburg, tossing a
complete game five-hitter.
Farrell threw 110 pitches (72
strikes), allowed one run,
struck out six and didnt walk a
batter.
Farrell was ahead of the
Pirate hitters most of the game,
throwing first-pitch strikes to
25 of the 34 batters he faced.
He also retired 13 of the final
15 batters he faced, including a
stretch of 11 in a row.
I really wasnt going for
the strikeout pitch very often,
Farrell said of his strategy on
the mound. I knew if I could
locate my cut-fastball and slid-
er on the outside of the plate,
we could get a lot of ground
balls and a lot of pop-flies. And
thats what happened.
Hellenbrand had nothing
but praise for his pitcher after
the game.
Drew carried us. He went
out there today and gave it his

all, Hellenbrand said. When
you get in the playoffs, you get
an ace that you can start riding.
We did it last week and we
went right back to him today.
He brought everything.
Farrell has been on fire in
the playoffs, appearing in all
three games (two starts) and
posting a sparkling 1.89 ERA.
In 19 innings, Farrell has
allowed 11 hits, struck out 11
and hasnt allowed a single
walk in either of his starts.
There are better odds if you
get ahead (in the count),
Farrell said. Luckily every
once in a while, when I would
get down (in the count), I
would still make my pitch and
get outs.
Reedsburg manager Tom
Gavin knew his Pirates ran into
a buzz saw on the mound in
Farrell.
Weve had success a little
bit against (Farrell) in the
past, Gavin said. Our guys
were a little bit frustrated
because they couldnt put the
bat on the ball. Hes as good as
he was all year today.
Brady Nehring started and
took the loss for Reedsburg,
going two innings while allow-
ing seven hits and five earned
runs.
Nehring, who appeared in
six games for the Fond Du Lac
Dock Spiders of the
Northwoods League this past
season, had trouble locating his
pitches, allowing three walks.
John Walsh pitched five
innings and Shane Sosinsky
threw the final inning in relief
for Reedsburg.
All of (Brady Nehrings)
off-speed stuff was missing
high. Thats a dangerous loca-
tion against Middleton, Gavin
said. Brady just didnt have it
today.
Farrell was one of the offen-
sive leaders for Middleton,
notching three hits and an RBI
in the game. Middleton pound-
ed out 15 hits and capitalized
with runners on, tallying seven
hits with runners in scoring
position.
We were able to get a lead
early and we just kept it
going, Hellenbrand said.
Guys were doing a great job
of moving runners. We got
some timely hitting today. I
cant say enough about our
guys.

MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE
Middleton got its timely hit-
ting started early, sending eight
players to the plate in the first
inning. Andrew Zimmerman,
Brennan Schmitt and Alec
Morrison all recorded RBI sin-
gles in the inning, and Ross
Hellenbrand had a sacrifice fly
to give Middleton a 4-0 advan-
tage after one inning.
Brandon Scheidler, Josh
Hinson, Zimmerman, and
Schmitt all scored in the first
for Middleton, which pounded
out four hits and went 3-for-4
with runners in scoring posi-
tion in the inning.
The second inning told a
similar story, as Middleton sent
seven batters to the plate.
Hinson recorded an RBI single
and Hellenbrand tacked on his
second RBI of the game with a
single to give Middleton a 6-0
lead after two.
Hinson and Scheidler each
scored in the second, as
Middleton had three hits, was
2-of-4 with runners in scoring
position and chased Nehring
from the game.
Middleton added its final
run in the fourth on a run-scor-
ing single by Farrell that plated
Hellenbrand and gave the 29ers
a 7-0 lead.
Reedsburg scored its lone
run of the game in the fifth, as
Durrell Naquin came around to
score on a Lucas Muchow RBI
single to pull the Pirates within
7-1.
Ross Hellenbrand went 3-
for-4 with two RBI, while
Scheidler (3-for-5) and Farrell
(3-for-4) both had big offensive
days, as well.
Reedsburg was seeking its
first-ever trip to the Final Four,
but instead fell to 0-5 in league
championship games.
Weve got a good group of
THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 2017
young guys. We had a good
year, Gavin said. Reedsburg
has never gotten to the final
four. Hopefully next year.
Middletons last appearance
in the Final Four was 2013,
which happens to be the last
year they won it all.
The 29ers must play two of
their three games on the road,
though, beginning with
Montello. The Granite Jaxx
finished the regular season 14-
4 and are currently riding a
seven-game win streak.
Montello outscored its oppo-
nents, 130-62, during the regu-
lar season, hit .303 as a team
and has two players batting
.388.
Middleton then heads to

THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 2017 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE PAGE 13

by ROB REISCHEL with a trophy is always fun for

Times-Tribune
There was uncertainty,
unknowns and unpredictability.
Those days are over.
Today, Middletons girls
golf team has answered any
and all questions that surround-
ed it when the year began.
Middleton went to the
Brookfield Central-Homestead
Classic last week and finished
third at the star-studded, 19-
team event.
The Cardinals then won a
pair of Big Eight Conference
triangulars and began the year
4-0 in the league.
Id say the girls have met
and exceeded our expectations
for the start of the season,
Middleton coach Becky
Halverson said.
Defending state champion
Hartland Arrowhead won the
BC-H Classic with a 625.
Brookfield Central was second
at 646, while Middleton (656),
Homestead (660) and Kettle
Moraine (661) rounded out the
top five.
Middleton shot a 320 on the
first day of the tournament
played at Mee-Kwon in
Mequon. That was good for
second place, just four shots
back of Arrowhead.
The Cardinals slipped back
a bit on the second day, but still
had a memorable tournament.
Middletons Payton Hodson
finished third individually with
a 146 (72-74), four shots back
of Arrowheads Emily
Lauterbach and Kettle
Moraines Abby Cavaianni.
The Cardinals also counted a
161 from Kate Meier (79-82), a
168 from Grace Peterson (80-
88) and a 181 from Allison
Richards (89-92).
Four of the seven girls that
we brought to Mee-Kwon had
their personal bests,
the girls. I was definitely proud
of the girls and where we fin-
ished among some of the top
teams in the state.
Middleton shot a 345 last
Thursday and defeated
Madison Memorial and
Madison La Follette in a trian-
gular held at Pleasant View
Golf Course. Both the Spartans
and Lancers could not field a
full team.
Hodson led the Cardinals
with a 77, while Peterson shot
an 84. Meier carded an 85 and
Richards shot a 99.
Unfortunately, neither
(Memorial or La Follette) had a
varsity team, so it was tough
for the girls to really focus on it
being a match, Halverson
said.It was not their best day,
thats for sure. But they all
learned some things that they
need to work on.
Middleton then notched a
huge win Monday at the
Madison East Triangular held
at Monona Golf Course. The
Cardinals shot a 167 and edged
Verona (171) by four shots,
while the host Purgolders
couldnt field a full team.
Hodson led the Cardinals
with a 39, while Meier and
Peterson both shot 42s.
Makenzie Hodson, playing in
the No. 5 hole, shot a 44.
I am really happy for Mak
and how she is coming along
for the team, Halverson said.
The win kept the Cardinals
unbeaten in the league and
could go a long way towards
MHS capturing a conference
dual meet title later this season.
The girls know they have
some work ahead of them to
compete into October, but they
are willing to put in the time,
Halverson said. Were still
playing around with our lineup
a bit and will continue to as
much as we need to get to
where we want to be in the

Q: Is it really necessary
for me to brush my pets
teeth?
A: Yes! Dental care is very impor-
tant! Unfortunately, periodontal dis-
ease is more common than most
owners realize. More than 80% of dogs have it by the time
they are four years old, making it the most frequently diag-
nosed health problem in pets. Periodontal disease starts
when plaque builds up on a tooth and works its way under
the gum line. Toxins released by the bacteria can cause an
inflammatory reaction that could lead to the destruction of
tissue and bone that keep the teeth in place. If the bacteria
make it into the blood stream, it can cause infections in the
kidneys, liver, and heart.
Prevention is the best protection from periodontal
disease. Daily brushing is a great preventive; however,
many animals do not like to have their teeth brushed. If
brushing is difficult, there are different types of food and
several chew products that have an enzyme in them that
helps keep teeth clean. Whatever your situation, it is imper-
ative to your pets health to maintain good dental hygiene.
Contact your veterinarian for more advice on how to keep
Fido and Tigger happy, healthy, and smiling!
Q: I Diversify My Investments But Should I
Consolidate My Providers?
A: IYou have probably heard that its important to diversify
your investments. But should you also diversify your
investment providers?
Diversifying your investment portfolio is important because
different investments, such as stocks and bonds, often move
in different directions. If you only own U.S. stocks, you could
take a big hit during a market downturn. But if you also own
bonds and other types of investments, you may be better
protected against market volatility. However, a diversified
portfolio cant guarantee profits or guard against all losses.
On the other hand, you may gain some benefits by
consolidating your investment accounts with one provider
and a single financial advisor. You can reduce the risk of
losing track of your investments and cut down on fees and
paperwork. Most important, you will find it easier to follow a
single, unified investment strategy, based on your goals, risk
tolerance and time horizon.
Diversification and consolidation one is good for building
an investment portfolio, while the other can help you invest
more efficiently and effectively.

me, Meicher said. I think
that set the tone at the begin-
ning of the game. We knew
they were a good team, but that
really set the tone for the rest of
the game.
Simon and the Cardinals
often talk about difference
making plays. Just six minutes
into the season, they already
had two.
We tell our kids there are
often six or seven plays that are
difference makers in games,
Simon said. Tonight, those
two interceptions and inter-
ceptions in their territory
SCHOOL BOARD
were huge.
Those big plays kept com-
ing, too.
Early in the second quarter,
Cardinals junior safety Devon
Jackson blocked a punt by
Memorials Mateo Mora and
Middleton took over at the
Spartans 3. Two plays later,
Pabst followed Parkinson to
the endzone for a 3-yard TD
and a 21-0 Middleton lead.
On Memorials next posses-
sion, Mora was again forced to
punt from his endzone. This
time, Mora jumped to field a
high snap, but was tackled by
recusing himself from the vote.
a. Administrative/Business
Jackson for a safety and a 23-0
MHS lead.
Then on the Cardinals final
drive of the first half, they put
together a seven-play, 75-yard
scoring drive capped by a 17-
yard pop pass for a score from
Roquet to senior tight end Cole
Parrell. The drive also included
a gorgeous 64-yard pass from
Roquet to Ragsdale.
I would say we were effi-
cient on offense, Simon said.
We werent explosive
which is fine. Theres some-
thing said for efficiency, too.
Memorial put together a
changes in class sizes and
enrollments were discussed.
nine-play, 71-yard touchdown
drive to begin the second half.
After that, the Spartans man-
aged just 31 yards on their final
four possessions.
I think were set for the
season on defense, Meicher
said. Were really good.
I think we all trust each
other on defense. We know
where each other is, we know
our responsibilities.
Offensively, Roquet was a
rock steady 10-of-17 for 155
yards a touchdown. And in the
first half alone, Roquet was 6-
of-10 for 133 yards.
Huff, whos added 10
pounds of muscle since last
year and rarely went down on
first or second contact,
had 13 carries for 76 yards
(5.0). And the speedy Pabst
averaged 4.8 yards on his eight
carries and scored twice.
The O-line did great, Huff
said. They made sure we had
good open holes and I just ran
through them and followed
them.
I think me and James can
be really dangerous if we keep
working together. Our O-line
opened up holes (Friday), and
if they keep doing that, we can
be great.
Middleton will find out just
how close it is to greatness
Friday when it travels to
defending Big Eight co-cham-
pion Sun Prairie at 7 p.m. Sun
Prairie routed Madison East,
56-0, in its season-opener, and
with 15 returning starters, is the
conference favorites again.
They have so many starters
back, Simon said of Sun
Prairie. Theyve been picked
to be at the top of the confer-
ence and Id say thats fair.
Theyre really good. Theyve
always got some big boys up
front and can move the ball
pretty well. Theyre always
solid.

and will help to refuel points
we lost in that area.
She has an incredible work
ethic and has set some great
goals for herself. Her maturity
and experience will serve her
and our team well this season.
The Big Eight remains the
states toughest conference and
teams like Verona/Mount
Horeb (second), Madison West
(fifth), Sun Prairie (sixth) and
Madison Memorial (10th) all
cracked the top-10 at state a
year ago. This year could be
more of the same.
The Big 8 looks strong, as
always, Cabalka said. Many Cardinals greatest challenger
schools got some key
returnees, as well as a very
strong freshmen class.
We will have to focus and
work incredibly hard if we
want to repeat as conference
champions. It gets harder every
year, but we are excited to see
what all of the teams look like
and to have a strong represen-
tation at the state meet this year
from the Big Eight.
Arrowhead might be the
get to us, success will be hard
to a second straight state title.
But Middleton is the clear-cut
favorite to repeat, and Cabalka
is expecting another memo-
rable year from her team.
I think our girls will set
themselves up for success if
they keep their eyes on our
goals each week, stay grounded
in who we are and what we
stand for, and above all else,
have fun, Cabalka said.If we
lose the fun and let the pressure
to find.
So far, they are handling
our always high expectations
very well. When they come to
practice and leave practice
each day with smiles on their
faces, we know were in a good
place. File photo
Middletons Gabriela Pierobon Mays had a terrific freshman
season and could be even more dangerous this fall.
