Citizens express support for
Cross Plains Community Center
BY BRENDA SCHULTZ
Times-Tribune
It was nearly standing room
only at the Cross Plains Village
Hall last Monday night as EMS
supporters, LIFE Foundation
supporters, and those impacted
by future road construction
gathered to listen, learn, and
perhaps persuade Village
Trustees on a variety of issues.
During public comment, 11
people, including Cross Plains

An artist at work... Family fun
Local artist Chuck Tupa was recently spotted working on his miniature versions of the iconic
Madison Union Terrace chairs outside CA Tupa Gallery and Framing on the 2000 block of Main
Street in Cross Plains. Tupa sells the chairs at the Dane County Farmers Market in Madison.

use of an available property at

Ernst to discuss
Mining for Justice
Author Kathleen Ernst will visit the Middleton Public Li-
brary on Wednesday, November 8 to discuss Mining For Jus-
tice, the latest cozy mystery in her long-running Chloe
Ellefson series. This time, amateur sleuth and historian Chloe
Ellefson is thrust into the center of another historical mystery
when long-buried human remains are unearthed beneath an
old Cornish cottage at the Pendarvis historical site in Mineral
Point.
Mining for Justice is Ernsts the eighth book featuring Chloe
Ellefson, following last years A Memory of Muskets. Kathleen
Ernst is an award-winning and bestselling author, educator, and
social historian who has published over thirty novels, including
books for young readers in the American Girl Caroline Abbott
series. Her work as an Interpreter and Curator of Interpreta-
tion and Collections at Old World Wisconsin served as inspira-
tion for the Chloe Ellefson mysteries.
This special author event will take place in the Middleton

disease In recent research, being
sedentary has also been linked to a greater risk of premature
death. Studies have been inconsistent about whether
exercise can offset the negative effects of prolonged sitting.
However, new research seems to show that 60 to 75
minutes a day of moderate exercise or activity (e.g., brisk
walking) may help counter the increased risks and
eliminate the risk of premature death linked to sitting more
than 8 hours a day.

Two women
of October
Its a cozy October morning
as I write this. Rain and leaves
fall steadily outside of my win-
dow.
Ive poured my first hot mug
of coffee and wish that I could
call my mother.
Shes been gone for over fif-
teen years. No amount of time
will lessen the urge I have to
call her and to hear her voice
say, Hi honey! from the other
end of the line.
Yes, it was still phone lines
when she was alive. Hers

and friends to the kitchen.

Muirhead: Get the facts about PDD zoning
1. Cant the developer
choose whether to apply for
PDD or PDD-Infill
zoning? Yes. Zoning ordinance
10.82 Planned Development
Districts states Parcels less
than 100,000 square feet are
presumptively too small to be
approved, but small projects
may still be submitted and con-
sidered.
2. Isnt it more consistent
with past zoning practices to
use PDD? No. The current
Stagecoach proposal is for a
parcel of 1.18 acres. The list of
Small Planned Development
Districts provided by City staff
shows that PDD-Infill was used
for 68 percent of projects
smaller than 1.5 acres since
1990, and for 78 percent of such
projects since 2007. PDD has
been used more commonly for
projects in downtown, mixed

3. Isnt PDD zoning re-
quired because City plans call
for high density (re)develop-
ment along arterial streets
like Century Avenue to mini-
mize urban sprawl? No. City
plans dont define high den-
sity. The current Stagecoach
design has 46 units (39
units/acre) with 69% impervi-
ous surfaces. A revised design
meeting PDD-Infill guidelines
would have approximately 32
units with 50% impervious sur-
faces which is also much
higher density than the current
3 houses with 10% impervious
surfaces. PDD-Infill zoning
would clearly meet the intent of
promoting compact urban
form but would also preserve
mature trees, provide more

Kaukauna showed its first

If she was still living, my
mother would have turned 99
on the 22nd of this month. This
month of October was the gate-
way to her life and indirectly to
her death.
During a routine physical in
the month of October, when my
mother was in her mid 70s, her
doctor suggested that she have

her first mammogram, ever,

4.Does opposing PDD zon-
ing mean opposing benefits of
development at this site, in-
cluding workforce housing,
blight reduction, access to
services, and proximity to
Pheasant Branch Conser-
vancy? No. Citizens opposing
PDD zoning are in favor of de-
velopment but at a size more
appropriate for this environ-
mentally and historically sensi-
tive site.
5.Doesnt PDD-Infill zon-
ing limit the Citys ability to
negotiate building parameters
such as storm water manage-
ment, tree removal, and over-
all site design?No, it does not.
Zoning Ordinance 10.94 states
The application procedures
and review criteria for the PDD-
I are the same as those outlined
for the basic PDD District.
6.Hasnt the concern about
storm water management al-
ready been resolved, since the
Water Resources Manage-
ment Commission approved
the Stagecoach plan and in-
ternationally-recognized ex-
pert Ken Potter is a member
of that commission? Not re-
ally. Ken Potter was not present
at theSeptember 20meeting at
which the Stagecoach proposal
was approved. Potters email
ofSeptember 21stated that If
[additional information re-
ceived] is correct, about the
stratigraphy and groundwater
level at the location of the pro-
posed infiltration practice,
clearly it should not be ap-
proved.
7.Arent the trees to be re-
moved at Stagecoach trash
trees like box elders?No. Per
the developers consultant, the
tually it was beyond the doc-
tors power to clear it away.
Today, a continent away, an-
other person who I love is bat-
tling breast cancer. Ive shared
her words before, in my col-
umn, and want to share more
now.
My exchange daughter Ka-
rina has been living with a
breast cancer diagnosis for over
four years. Treatment for the
disease has expanded and is ex-
tending lives longer than when
my mother was diagnosed.
Right now Karina is taking
experimental drugs to combat it
at stage four in her body. The
treatment has stopped any new
tumors since Spring. It is en-
couraging.
Karina shares her perspective
on the experience, in her native
language of Spanish, on her
blog titled Liberate Mariposa.
Her words are straight-forward,
honest, yet full of hope and
gratitude.
Im sharing her most recent
post with you, with the help of
Google Translate.
site contains 9 black walnuts, 12
silver maples, 7 box elders, 1
apple and 1 cottonwood tree.
Since Stagecoach is so large, it
appears that all would be cut
down or damaged during con-
struction. In wet lowland forest
sites like Stagecoach and adja-
cent Conservancy areas, silver
maples, box elders and cotton-
wood are native species with
root systems that soak up run-
off and limit soil erosion. New
saplings called for in the land-
scape plan will not provide the
same benefit as these mature
trees for many years to come.
8. Isnt it true that the City Stagecoach just nearby neigh-
cant control what a property
owner does with trees on pri-
vate property? The Citys FAQ
states absent the conditions as-
sociated with PDD zoning,
property owners are not obli-
gated to retain any trees If
the development is allowed to
proceed, the City should work
with the developer to identify
any existing trees that can be
saved. PDD-Infill zoning gives
the City the same opportunity to
save trees.
9.Why worry about Stage-
coach when the nearby Soli-
tude Condos and
Conservancy Condos have
longer borders with the
Pheasant Branch Conser-
vancy? Stagecoach is much
closer to Pheasant Branch
Creek (195 ft) than either Soli-
tude Condos or Conservancy
Condos (365-410 ft.) It is also
much higher density (39
units/acre vs. 6 units/acre),
making it likely to have a
greater impact on the Pheasant
Branch Conservancy.
10. Doesnt this project
need to be zoned PDD to be fi-
nancially viable? No com-
pelling argument has been
published to justify PDD zoning

Opinion
The dark side of the pink fight
by Karina Orozco
During the month of October the world dresses in pink to
support campaigns to fight against breast cancer. But in reality,
for people who are diagnosed, our lives are tinged with a much
darker color.
This is not a pink fight. Rather, it is a painful, dark and un-
certain road. There is nothing pink in it, only the thorns.
Very often, people admire those of us with breast cancer as
warriors or fighters, when we only do what our spirit of sur-
vival dictates, from our weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
We do not lose a battle or a war when we die. We lose the
earthly life as we try to resist the adverse effects of a tenacious
and deadly disease.
It should not be associated exclusively with pink, because we
are not only affected women, there are also many men who have
breast cancer. But mens presence in the statistics remain in the
shadows.
However, the pink campaign of millions of people around the
world offer a part of themselves to take us by the hand and
cross the cobbled road with us. They give us light and hope.
Their commitment, solidarity, and interest color our day-to-day
with their support and company.
Beyond symbolisms, stereotypes, euphemisms, myths or col-
ors, breast cancer is a life-threatening disease. But effective
care before, during and after diagnosis, advances in medicine,
investment in research, and the love of those who accompany
us can ease the burden and help us to cross the path with faith
and joy.

Sunday
night my
wife and I
got into a
fight and it
was Jim De-
Vitas fault.
He had quite
a bit of help
from Coleen Madden and
Melisa Pereyra, and between
the three of them, we didnt
stand a chance.
Wed been to a play at Amer-
ican Players Theatre in Spring
Green. This was one of our rare
date nights and we went to
one of our favorite places for
entertainment. Instead of choos-
ing one of Shakespeares
romps, or the farce Flea in Her
Ear, or even Cyrano de Berg-
erac, we chose the Arthur Miller
play A View from the Bridge for
our special night out.
If you dont know the play,
which we didnt, it is about the
immigrant experience coming
to America, set in the early 50s.
A successful immigrant family
hosts illegal immigrants whove
not being able to feed your fam-
ily; the opportunity that Amer-
ica presented; the careful
balance between helping family
and obeying the law (formal or
community-enforced). Oh, and
the terror of watching your
beloved, adopted niece grow up
and abandon you.
For those who have never ex-
perienced APT (thats the in
the know term for American
Players Theatre), it is an excep-
tional theatre troop based in the
woods outside Spring Green.
Most of their plays are held out-
doors with a foundation in the
Shakespeare canon. Not long
ago APT built an indoor theatre
for more intimate plays (think
Waiting for Godot). But indoors
or out, the actors are extremely
talented. Some are based in
Spring Green or more generally
in Wisconsin, others come in
just for the Summer season.
They obviously spend a lot of
time in physical training as they
put a tremendous amount of
physical energy into their per-
formances, and their diction and
the stage is felt the moment they
appear.
And then theres Jim. The
emotional space that Jim fills is
indescribable. The room, indoor
or out, fills with intense emo-
tion when he chooses. He is in-
tensity personified.
So for this play, we watched
Jim as a model immigrant, a
hard working man on the docks,
slowly unravel from protective
patriarch to an anguished soul
who loses his reputation, his
community, and his family. The
mans death at the end was the
smallest part of his fall, and the
grief expressed by his widow
and niece were raw and desper-
ate.
Close curtain. Now we are
supposed to clap and cheer?
The actors were SOBBING at
the end, and still crying when
they appeared for the curtain
call. The energy in the room
was drained from observing the
misery of this extended family.
But we stood. And clapped.
Then we drove home mostly
silent, trying to process what we
again].
So it was Jims fault.
But this got me thinking.
With my employees, Ive had to
work through safety plans, pre-
work stretching routines, and
OSHA compliance issues. Ive
attended sexual harassment
training, lead employee engage-
ment seminars, and litigated
workers compensation claims.
My question is, how do the ac-
tors recover from these emo-
tionally-draining performances?
By my count, APT is perform-
ing A View From the Bridge 34
times sometimes twice in
one day! What is the protocol
for helping actors recover from
intense plays like this? If they
were athletes, theyd hit the ice
bath, get massages, acupunc-
ture, have stretching routines
and other physical modalities to
get them physically ready for
the next game. Do actors need
psychologists after a play like
this? Do their families need to
be put into a witness protection
program for the day after a
play?
about someone elses pain
but that they do NOT need to
carry that emotion with them
into the world.
Recently my wifes cousin
died of cancer. This was a hor-
rible situation, but I observed
something regenerative from it.
The extended family gathered,
and while part of it was to say
goodbye, it was mostly about
sharing the grief of the immedi-
ate family. Those closest to her
needed to share their pain
through hugs, telling stories,
and the presence of the others.
Those helping the immediate
family also needed to share
their pain with other relatives
and friends, until more and
more people were all holding
part of the emotion, bearing the
pain as a group so no one had
more than they could handle.
Even back here in Middleton,
neighbors helped with picking
up kids, with food, and with
flexibility in scheduling to
make it easier for my wife to go
and help her family.
Communally, we know intu-
We are emotional, social crea-
tures and human contact, touch,
and sharing is essential to our
well being. It helps us heal and
keeps us sane.
So with this column, I give a
tip of the hat to those actors
who willingly choose to enter
into that darkest of emotional
spaces to tell stories and share
these plays with us. And a fur-
ther thank you to all the com-
munity members and
professionals in the world who
help others through their emo-
tional crises. Time and sharing
seem to be the only things that
can help, and to be there to
share the pain is an incredible
gift.

The districts enrollment es-
timate was indeed conservative,
with the official third-Friday en-
rollment coming in at 7,210 stu-
dents, which is 115 more than
was the estimate upon which
the preliminary budget was
based. This means nearly $1.5
million more for the district
than in 2016-17.
Since the state uses a rolling
three-year average to determine
reimbursement, the effect of
this increase wont mean a tem-
pered increase that will be felt
for 3 years. Overall, the district
will receive $2,813,003 more
from the state than in 2016-17.
The third-Friday enrollment
numbers affect the tax rate, too.
The mill rate dropped from an
estimated 10.61 to 10.32, but in
conjunction with the increase in
home values, taxes are still set
value, but it means youll be
paying a lower rate on a higher
principle, which works out for a
net increase of $73 in taxes.
School Board Finalizes
Enrollment Numbers,
Solidifies Budget
On Tuesday night, the MC-
PASD Board heard reports
about teacher retention efforts,
opening a $4 million line of
credit to pay bills, and the final
student enrollment numbers and
mill rate for the year.
Teacher Retention
Director of Employee Serv-
ices Tabatha Gundrum ad-
dressed the board about teacher
turnover in the district, and
are, Ms. Gundrum said.
Were staying on the lower end
of what area districts are expe-
riencing, I feel like were in a
pretty good place. Theres some
natural inherent process that
that turnover is going to happen
for a number of reasons.
Superintendent Mavroulis
noted that this is a problem that
school districts are facing
across the country. The termi-
nology in the industry is re-re-
cruiting your staff or stay
interviews, Mr. Mavroulis
said. The concept is to talk to
your people and find out what is
it going to take to keep them
and to continue to ask that over
and over and over again so that
were never caught off-guard.
We dont have a retention prob-
stands. Of the twelve teachers
who left to go to another district
last year, only 5 of them moved
laterally. The remaining seven
left to pursue better opportuni-
ties, whether it was a job in their
hometown with less of a com-
mute, or a promotion, or a move
from part-time to full-time.
Thats less than 1% of our
teaching staff overall, Ms.
Gundrum said of the teachers
who left for another district to
do a comparable job. Theres a
natural turnover process that is
good and that is healthy.Or-
ganizations refresh through a
turnover process. The turnover
percentages that districts around
us see hover right around
10%...and our numbers are
coming in just under 10%.

they received from, say, Verona.
Ms. Gundrum said that it hap-
pens infrequently just twice
last year and that its district
policy never to pay one em-
ployee more than other current
employees are making for com-
parable work. Mr. Mavroulis
and Ms. Gundrum proudly
noted that since theyve been
working together, no new hire
had leapfrogged a current em-
ployee to gain a higher salary.
Group cohesion is more impor-
tant, they said.
Middleton is an attractive
place for teachers to work.
While the district doesnt go out
and actively poach, 52 of the 68
hires last year came from other
districts.

to pay for recurring expenses in
the months after the districts
revenues have dried up and be-
fore it receives the large tax
payment due in January. This
year, the district is going to bor-
row just over $4 million.
The district put out a request
for proposals and the State
Bank of Cross Plains came back
with the best offer: a $4,162,000
line of credit at a fixed interest
rate of 2.65%. The district will
use the money to pay its operat-

Commission wants Treysta design changes
BY CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
The Middleton Plan Com-
mission moved a substantial
mixed use development project
at the northeast corner of Lisa
and Laura Lanes a step closer to
final approval, but also called
for changes in the design at its
most recent meeting.
Treysta Development re-
quested rezoning and general
plan approval for a proposed
building containing 263 unit
apartment units, 11,000 square-
feet of retail space and a 17,000
square-foot market. Neither
were approved, but the commis-
sion indicated to the developer
that would likely happen at
the Nov. 14 meeting if recom-
mended changes are made in
the design. The commission did
authorize a parking study for
the project.

happy. My husband introduced
me to Culvers when we were
dating and I have been a raving
fan ever since.
The core values are rooted in
people. Craig Culver will often
say, we are in the People busi-
ness and happen to sell Butter
Burgers and Custard. Culvers
uses high quality ingredients to
cook your meal to order, we
dont start cooking it until you
have ordered it.
Hospitality is another key in-
gredient of the culture estab-
lished at the beginning by Ruth
Culver. Culvers is rooted in all
of the communities that we op-
erate in across the
country. What sets Culvers
apart is that each restaurant is
operated by a present and en-
gaged owner operator. Culvers
restaurants are run by familys
that wanted their own business,
just like the first Culvers in
Sauk City was operated by
George, Ruth, Craig and Lea
Culver. The values are all about
making our guests happy, being
actively involved in the com-
munities we live in and ensur-
ing the development and
success of our franchisees and
The True Blue Crew employees
across 24 states. Joining the
Culvers team was like coming
home for me. Culvers is a very
special place, the values, peo-
ple, deep rooted community
connections and amazing food
are top notch.
Dont just take my word for
it, come visit the Middleton
Culvers for a Butter Burger and
custard and see for yourself!

COMMUNITY EVENTS IN MIDDLETON

Things to Come and a WWI historian...
Film Screening at the
Library on November 28
The Middleton Public Li-
brary will host a free screening
of the 2016 French film Things
to Come (Lavenir) on Tuesday,
November 28th, at 6:30 PM in
the Librarys lower-level Archer
Room. Things to Come, which
played to sold out audiences at
the 2017 Wiscsonsin Film Fes-
tival, is the story of a passionate
middle-aged philosophy profes-
sor (Isabelle Huppert) who must
reassess her already much-ex-
amined life after an unforeseen
divorce and the death of her
mother.
The film is in French with
English subtitles and runs ap-
proximately 102 minutes.
Drinks, popcorn and movie
concessions will be provided.
Register online via the librarys
events calendar at
midlibrary.org/events. This
special screening is made possi-
ble by the Friends of the Mid-
dleton Public Library as well as
a collaboration between the
Wisconsin Film Fest and the
Beyond the Page fund, an en-
dowment supporting humanities
programming at Dane County
libraries.
Historian to discuss
book on
Wisconsin and the
First World War
Archivist and Historian
Richard L. Pifer will visit the
Middleton Public Library on
Wednesday, November 29th, at
7:00 PM to discuss his new
book, The Great War Comes to
Wisconsin: Sacrifice, Patriot-
ism, and Free Speech in a Time
of Crisis, published last month
by Wisconsin Historical Society
Press. The book details the
home front experience in Wis-
consin during the First World
War: the political debates over
war policy, the worry over
loved ones fighting overseas,
the countless everyday sacri-
fices, and the impact of a
wartime hysteria that drove dis-
sent underground. It also in-
cludes the voices of soldiers
from Wisconsins famed 32nd
Division, through extensively
quoted letters and newspaper
accounts.
Rick Pifer is the retired direc-
tor of reference and public serv-
ices in the WHSs
Library-Archives division. His
research has focused on the
Wisconsin home front during
World War I and II. His MA the-
sis studied La Crosse during the
two world wars as a vehicle
through which to better under-
stand the American response to
war. He has also studied oppo-
sition to World War I and is the
author of A City at War: Mil-
waukee Labor During World
War II.
Copies of the book will be
available for purchase courtesy
of the Wisconsin Historical So-
ciety Press, and the evening will
conclude with a Q&A and book
signing. Registration is appre-
ciated: Online at midlibrary.org
or by email at info@midli-
brary.org.

Consumers benefit from
shopping around to find the best
plan that meets their needs in
terms of price, benefits, and
provider network. Plans change
their premiums and other costs
along with their provider net-
works. Consumers will have
different levels of discounts
available to them, depending on
these changes or if their income
or family size has changed.
Wisconsin has eleven insur-
ance carriers offering plans on
the Marketplace for 2018. Some
2017 insurance carriers will no
longer offer plans on the Mar-
ketplace in 2018. Consumers
currently enrolled in those plans
will qualify for a 60-day Special

deadline, but should update

Over 80% of Wisconsin con-
sumers who select health plans
through the Marketplace qualify
for discounts that substantially
reduce the price of their premi-
ums. These discounts increase
when premiums increase, so
most consumers will not di-

In addition to premium dis-

(CSRs). Recently, many news
reports erroneously reported
that CSRs would no longer be
available. This is not correct.
The federal government will no

Project: A noble cause

theyre working on their read-

Times-Tribune

The development of literacy Childshad been pursuing the

has always been one of the pri-
mary goals of education.
The ability to read and read
well is considered an essential
skill in almost any role in the
modern world. However, many
children lack easy access to
books, putting them at a disad-
vantage during their early,
formative years, and making the
development of skills and a love
for reading an uphill battle.
Rectifying this situation and
providing an equal opportunity
for all children to become suc-
cessful, motivated readers is the
goal of the Madison Reading
Project, which is headquartered
at 8030 Excelsior Drive on the
Middleton/Madison border.
The Project is a nonprofit or-
ganization that gathers books,
both donated and purchased,
and distributes them to in-need
households throughout
the greater Dane County
area.They also support and run
various literacy programs, and
work in partnerships with
schools, other nonprofits, com-
munity centers, and agencies.
Last year, they set a goal of giv-
ing 5,000 books to the commu-
nity, and achieved twice that
much, with just over 10,000.
This year, they have set a goal
of 25,000, and are on track to
reach it, having currently given
about 16,000 books.
The core goal of the Project
is to helpprovide at-riskchil-
dren with books, encourage
reading on their own time and
build their own home li-
braries.Nearly all children will
be made to read for school as-
signments, but many poor and
vulnerable families have few or
no books at home. Without the
Reading Project, these children
will only experience reading as
something theyre obligated to
do, and never get the opportu-
nity to read books that they
choose, or to read for recre-
ation. As founder and executive
directorRowan Childsputs it,
If you can get kids engaged in
idea of helping vulnerable chil-
dren with literacy for several
years before starting the Madi-
son Reading Project. The foun-
dations of the organization
began when she met a Salvation
Army program director over-
seeing children in need ofread-
ing assistance, and began
working with theorganization
to help motivate children to like
books and reading.
A 2013 Race To Equity re-
port contributed significantly to
the development of the Project
by showing exceptionally poor
literacy in the Dane County
area, as well as severe racial
disparity in literacy rates. The
extent of the problem surprised
many residents, and started a
major public conversation on
how to remedy it, and a great
demand for organizations like
the Madison Reading Project.
That public support has been a
primary factor in the projects
rapid growth.Childsbegan a
literacy pilot program in collab-
oration with the Salvation Army
in 2014, focusing on a small
group of about 30 children,
mostly at-risk and from low in-
come families, in an after-
school program, and by the
middle of the year, she had ap-
plied for it to become a non-
profit due to the need
andnumber of people contact-
ing herasking to help.She used
this early time working directly
with a small group of children
to learn what kind of support
was needed and most helpful,
and applied those principles as
the organization expanded.
When she started pursuing
the strategy of giving away
books to in-need families, she
began to receive generous dona-
tions without even having to
ask. The Project quickly began
to run out of space for donated
books, and today runs their own
dedicated donation center. As

they started receiving more and
more books, they began looking
into which types of books were
most needed and most re-
quested, and started directly
purchasing high-need books.
These would often include
books in Spanish and those that
depicted diverse characters,
where demand outstripped the
amount being donated.
Today, they purchase about
25 percent of the books they
provide.
Beyond book donation, the
Madison Reading Project also
supports various literacy pro-
grams aimed at helping children
engage with their reading and
promoting literacy to fami-
lies.These often take the form
of partnerships with local com-
munity centers, schools, and
working with social workers.
Childrens literacy program-

author to talk about their writ-

literacy craft, and writing activ-
ities, all depending on the age of
the children involved.
They have also brought in
Spanish readers to help with
multilingual literacy.
The Madison Reading Proj-

Cardinals run down dreams

Boys cross

BY ROB REISCHEL

Caleb Easton crunched the
numbers in his head.
As Middletons boys cross
country standout totaled the
results from last Saturdays
WIAA Division 1 state meet,
Easton figured the Cardinals
would be exiting Ridges Golf
Course in Wisconsin Rapids
with a championship trophy.
It wasnt until those results
were officially posted,
though, that Easton and his
teammates could breath a
giant sigh of relief.
I think really the highlight
was when we saw the scores
and saw that we won, Easton
said. It was just a great
time.
And a great performance.
Middleton finished with
just 76 points to easily outdis-
tance runner-up Stevens Point
(177). South Milwaukee

and Sun Prairie (203) rounded
out the top-five.

Brotherly
love
Andrew and Mattie
Lepage a hit for
boys volleyball team
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Mattie Lepage doesnt
have a single kill or assist for
Middletons boys volleyball
team this season.
He hasnt recorded an ace,
block or a dig.
But Lepage has become a
vital part of Middletons sen-
sational squad. And the
Cardinals junior manager is
the energetic, vivacious and
spirited leader Middleton sim-
ply cant do without.
Lepage, the younger broth-
er of Cardinals standout set-
ter Andrew Lepage, was born
with Downs syndrome. While
that has slowed Mattie in
some areas, his love of volley-
ball isnt one of them.
Mattie has an unparalleled
zest and gusto for volleyball
as well his managerial
duties. And his enthusiasm
has been an important ingredi-
ent in Middletons outstand-
ing season.
Everybody loves having
Mattie around, Middleton
coach Ben White said. He
smiles a lot and calms people
down. Hes talkative, but not
out before each practice, sets
up the scoreboard, helps keep
score and gathers balls during
practice.
Andrew, one of the top set-
ters in the state who has shat-
tered the school record for
assists since volleyball went
to rally scoring in 2004, keeps
an eye out for his younger
brother. For the most part,
though, its business as usual.
Andrews a special, spe-
cial kid, White said.
Andrew kind of watches over
him, but Mattie being here has
never been a distraction for
Andrew.
At first, that was one of
the things I was a little wor-
ried about. But thats never
been a problem. Were fortu-
nate to have them both in our
program.
Andrew agreed.
I think its been really
nice and helped us get even
closer, Andrew said of his
relationship with Mattie. He
gets so excited when we do
well, probably more excited
than a lot of us do. Its just
great having him around.
Having Andrew around has
been awfully great for the

too talkative. The team loves
him. Really, hes just one of
the guys.
Three years ago, Matties
parents Rob and Tammie
asked White if he could
find a place in the program for
Mattie.
White knew that Andrew, a
sophomore at the time, was
going to be a key cog in
Middletons future. And
White wanted to be sure that
Matties presence wouldnt be
a distraction for Andrew.

though.

Madison West
ousts soccer
Cardinals
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Timing is everything.
For Middletons boys soccer
team, they picked the worst
time possible to have their
offense go silent.
The Cardinals entered last
Saturdays WIAA Division 1
sectional final averaging 4.5
goals per game. Middleton
had also been shutout just
twice this fall.
But Madison West stymied
the Cardinals potent offen-
sive attack and ended
Middletons year following a
1-0 win in a game played at
Kettle Moraine High School.
The Cardinals finished the
season 14-5-4, while West
(14-4-1) advanced to face
three-time defending state
champion Marquette in a state
semifinal game.
For all the changes West
has had with coaches in the
past handful of years, all the
change toward parity around
the Big Eight in soccer, West
is still our thorniest rival,
Middleton coach Ben
Kollasch said. We expected a
rough and tumble game and
that is exactly what we got.
West senior forward Robert
Cooper notched the games
only goal with just three sec-
onds left in the first half.
Middleton keeper Ben Scher
got a finger on Coopers shot,
but couldnt come up with the
save.
West found one critical
moment and made the best of
it, Kollasch said. It came
from an innocent seeming
throw-in 20 seconds before
halftime. There was a small
misplay off the throw-in, a
simple cross-up maybe, there
was a small slip in the slick
grass and there was a mad
chase down the sideline to cut
off (Cooper).
(Cooper) shot the ball
from a disadvantageous angle
and the ball squirted through
into the goal. The line
between bad luck and poor
execution becomes thin and
extremely gray when we are
talking about such small mis-
cues, but they all add up and
West jumped right on the
opportunity to take the lead.
West also did a terrific job
slowing down Middleton sen-
ior standouts Derek Waleffe
and Drake Vandermause.
Waleffe, the Cardinals all-
everything senior forward,
entered the game with 42
goals, 96 points and had
scored at least one goal in
every game this season.
Vandermause had 14 goals, 20
assists and had at least one
point in every game this year.
But the Regents didnt
allow either player to beat
them.
On the flip side, Middleton
did a terrific job holding West
standouts Paolo Gratton and
Sam Loving in check. But
Wests Cooper was the differ-
ence maker.
Both defenses were up to
the challenge of slowing these
playmakers down, Kollasch
said. Both defenses handled
the big threats well and it left
the game to be decided by the
rest of the teams.
The game came down to
needing consistently great
execution from every position
to take advantage of any small
opening that presented itself.
We never had the perfect exe-
cution at the critical moment.
West continued to play a
pressing, attacking style with
its one goal lead. But the
Regents also marked Waleffe
and Vandermause as well as
anyone had all year.
Middletons opportunities
were few and far between, and
the Cardinals couldnt capital-
ize on the few chances they
were presented.
The small openings to
make something happen
closed as soon as they pre-
sented themselves and never
gave us more than a fleeting
look at goal, only a handful of
real chances, Vandermause
said. But we had made a his-
toric season out of converting
a handful of real chances in
tough games. They just
wouldnt come as this night
wore on against West.
While the ending was dis-
appointing, Middleton had a
memorable season.
Waleffe finished sixth in
the state in goals scored (42)
and seventh in total points
(96). Making those numbers
even more impressive is
Waleffe did it against an
extremely high-level sched-
ule.
Derek Waleffe being real-
ly good was not a secret, but
no one would have expected
the historic run of goals he
went on, waiting until the

The last place Middletons
boys soccer team wanted to be
Thursday night was overtime.
The fifth-seeded Cardinals
led Beloit Memorial, 3-2, in
the final minutes of their
in the 88th minute and forced
overtime.
We were all a little disap-
pointed, said Middleton sen-
ior forward Derek Waleffe,
who had the Cardinals first
three goals. But we were all
business.
And how.
Senior midfielder Isaiah
Williams scored a rebound
goal at the 91-minute mark to
give the Cardinals a 4-3 lead.
Junior midfielder Bryce
Schuster added another goal
at 93:46 and Middleton
notched a 5-3 win.
The Cardinals advanced to
Kettle Moraine High School.
I was proud of the guys
and how they responded,
Middleton coach Ben
Kollasch said.
With good reason.
Middleton wasted little
time in the extra session as
Williams fed Waleffe for a
good look on goal. Waleffe
fired a laser that Purple
Knights keeper David
Almanza stopped. But
Williams was sitting on the
left doorstep and slotted home
the rebound.
It was really exciting,
Williams said. We knew it
The Cardinals did just that.
In the 94th minute,
Middleton junior keeper Ben
Scher fired a long pass to
Schuster. Schuster made a ter-
rific run, beat his defender to
the ball and then beat
Almazna, as well, to give the
Cardinals a 5-3 lead.
I have to give a shout out
to Ben Scher because he
called that one, Kollasch
said. He did a great job
there.
Middletons fantastic finish
capped a night of thrilling,
back and forth soccer.
Waleffe gave the Cardinals
minute to grab a 2-1 lead.
Theyre so explosive, high scoring game when we
Kollasch said of the Purple
Knights. You think you have
them bottled up and contained
and they can explode just like
that.
Waleffe struck again in the
42nd minute to even things, 2-
2, at halftime.
Then in the 82nd minute,
Waleffe weaved his way
through four Beloit defenders,
covered the final 35 yards
himself and beat Almanza to
give the Cardinals 3-2 lead.
But the Purple Knights scored
off a corner kick in the 88th
going to be a shootout and a
play Beloit, Waleffe said.
Were just happy to get a
win.

Swimmers roll
at Big Eight meet
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
They are like a blur in the
pool.
Up and down, back and
forth at speeds that take your
breath away.
Middletons girls swimming
and diving team is the textbook
definition of dominant. And the
Cardinals were back at it again
last Saturday.
Middleton won the Big
Eight Conference meet in run-
away fashion. The Cardinals
finished with 695 points to eas-
ily outdistance runner-up Sun
Prairie (404) and third place
Madison Memorial (374.5).
This was hands down the
best meet I have witnessed as a
coach, Midldeton coach
Lauren Cabalka said. Top to
bottom start to finish, these
girls came ready to
compete.We spent a lot of time
this week talking about the
importance of the team.I want-
ed the girls to swim for each
other, not themselves - which
can be really difficult in a sport
like swimming.Its even more
difficult when youre on a team
as talented and as competitive
as ours.
The girls took our words to
heart and put together an amaz-
ing and unforgettable perform-
ance. Our tapered girls swam
out of their minds and seeing
the joy on their faces and
excitement from their team-
mates after each race was
priceless. They went through
the week with such positive
attitudes, encouraged each
other and, most importantly,
had fun. We knew they were
ready onceSaturdaycame. Licking was fourth in the same
Our non-tapered girls also
swam incredibly well. It can be
so difficult to race against girls
who are fully rested and to
watch girls drop crazy amounts
of time and still keep your
composure. They did a phe-
nomenal job of remaining
calm, swimming fast and sup-
porting their team.
Middletons relay teams
ruled the day.
The Cardinals 200-yard
medley relay team of Chiara
Pierobon Mays, Ally Silvestri,
Gabriela Pierobon Mays and
Berkley Smith was first.
Middletons quartet of Emily
Keebler, Alex
Anagnostopoulos, Kaitlyn
Smith and Madelyn Lawn was
fourth.
Middletons 200-yard
freestyle relay team of Cora
Mack, Makenna Licking,
Caroline Hippen and Hannah
Aegerter was first, while the
foursome of Lawn, Bella
Chirafisi, Amaya Berge and
Smith were fourth.
And Middletons 400-yard
freestyle relay team of
Aegerter, Hippen, Mack and
Gabriela Pierobon Mays was
first, while the quartet of
Chirafisi, Smith, Grace
Madigan and Lawn was fourth.
Our relays definitely stole
the show, Cabalka said. To
have our A and B relays
place in the top-4 in each relay
event is remarkable.
I love showcasing our
depth and the girls really
showed that we are a true team
with their performances on
those relays. There are not
many teams in the state that can
do what our relays did and we
were extremely proud of their
efforts.

Sun Prairie had two errors
as Middleton forged a 24-24
tie.
Sun Prairie senior outside
hitter and Louisville recruit
Claire Chaussee, who had 22
kills, had a kill to give Sun
Prairie a 25-24 lead. But Welti
had a kill, Sun Prairie had a
hitting error and Byington and
senior rightside hitter Cami
Spellman combined for a
block kill as Middleton cap-
tured the first set.
That was a good boost,
Marcos said of Middletons
win in the first set. I think
everybodys confidence went
way up. If we lost, it could
have been pretty deflating.
Sun Prairie raced to leads
of 5-0 and 11-4 in the second
set. Middleton began chipping
away and used a late 7-2 run
to forge a 23-23 tie.
But Sun Prairie answered
with a kill from senior right-
side hitter Bailey Ledford and
Middleton had a hitting error
and the match was tied, 1-1.
That would have been
huge right there to win that
set, Marcos said. But we
couldnt quite get that one.
Middleton used another
enormous rally to win the
third set.
Sun Prairie led by as many
as five points in the third set
and never trailed. But
Middleton used a 5-1 run to
tie the set, 23-23.
After Sun Prairie took a 24-
23 lead, it had three consecu-
tive errors and Middleton
pulled out a dramatic, 26-24,
win to go ahead, 2-1.
I do think they got a little
nervous, Welti said of Sun
Prairie. They were the No. 1
seed and had all the pressure
on them. I think we were able
to play a lot looser.
Down the stretch, though,
Sun Prairie got its groove on
and outscored Middleton, 40-
18, over the final two sets.
Sun Prairie raced to leads
of 4-0, 13-5 and 19-6 in the
fourth set and forced a fifth
set.
The fifth set was tied, 5-5,
when Sun Prairie went on a 5-
1 run to take a 10-6 lead.

than three points, and Sun

CHAMPS
state title since 1992. And
the Cardinals 101-point mar-
gin of victory was the largest
in state history at any level.
I knew when all our guys
had finished we had won and
that there was some distance,
Middleton coach Brian Finnel
said. So we were all smiles
and feeling confident.
But when that scoreboard
showed SPASH was second
and that we were first, we all
were going nuts. There was a
large contingency of
Middleton fans there and that
was pretty darn cool to see
lots of people cheering.
There was a lot to cheer
about.
Easton was fourth individ-
ually among runners that had
teams at state. Easton finished
the hilly, challenging three-
mile course in 16 minutes,
2.01 seconds.
Junior Michael Madoch
was sixth in 16:06.06, while
senior Caleb Easton finished
seventh (16:07.47). Senior
Jack Rader battled through an
Achilles injury and finished
21st (16:39.16) and sopho-
more Zach Leffel was 38th
(16:48.69).
Our depth is, simply put,
sensational, Finnel said.
Terrific guys who work very
hard.
Easton had a solid race,
finishing eighth among all
189 runners and fourth among
team participants.
Easton was in 11th place
after the first mile and 10th
after the second. But Easton
kept working his way up on
the demanding course.
I think the cold weather
took a toll, Easton said. I
started to feel not too good on
the hills and lost a little bit on
the rolling hills falling back. I
think I would have definitely
liked to do even better, but it
was good.
Finnel was thrilled with the
race Easton ran.
Caleb had a good race,
Finnel said. He positioned
himself very well and was
with the chase pack at two
miles. Once he got to the
rolling hills in the back he
said he just felt rather
fatigued, so I was glad he
could hang on for a top-10 fin-
ish.
Madoch and Jaeger both
had outstanding performanc-
es, as well.
Madoch was in 40th place
after one mile and 21st place
after two miles, before closing
with a bang and finishing 10th
among all runners. Jaeger was
in 18th place at the one- and
two-mile mark, then also
closed strong and placed 11th
among all runners.
Michael and Sam had
wonderful performances,
Finnel said. I think whats
most impressive with their
races is the final mile. Both
were together at about 20th
place at the two mile and
closed very hard. To go from
almost the 20th position to
10th and 11th is fantastic and
really helped to lower the
team score.
Afterwards, Finnel knew
the trio of Easton, Madoch
and Jaeger was critical in the
TIMES-TRIBUNE PAGE 23

Cardinals drive to a title.
Caleb, Michael, and Sam
were very critical to the team
score and to win the title,
Finnel said.When I analyzed
the other teams, they were
lacking some up-front fire-
power, but had pretty good
depth.
I knew going in if these
three kept running how they
had been all season it would
be hard for a team to take us
down. Three guys putting up a
single digit score is very rare
at the state meet. I thought all
three boys could be top-10,
and that was so close to hap-
pening, too.
Middleton also got a huge
boost from the return of
Rader.
Rader suffered an Achilles
injury late in the track and
field season in June, and ran
in just two races prior to state.
But Rader began feeling bet-
ter last week, was cleared and
gave a memorable perform-
ance in his final high school
race.
After the conference race
(Oct. 14), I really thought my
season was over, Rader said.
I couldnt finish that day and
really thought I might be
done. Photo submitted

closed the season with a bang,

11 carries (18.0 average) and
two touchdowns. Fellow sen-
ior running back Dion Huff
also had 100 yards and two
touchdowns as the Cardinals
rolled up 297 rushing yards as
a team.
But Wests dynamic duo of
Shanklin and senior running
back Jaden Stephens was just
as potent. Shanklin ran for
145 yards on 29 carries (5.0),
threw for 105 yards and had
two total touchdowns.
Stephens ran for 91 yards and
had three touchdowns.

are two really special athletes.

they did it to a lot of other

Huffs touchdown put
Middleton back in front late in
the game. But Shanklin and
the Regents had enough time
to produce the game-winning
drive.
Coach (Brad) Murphy and
his staff did a great job,
Simon said. They kept the
ball in those two kids hands. I
think we played well. They

game of the year.

The purpose of the proposed GIP amendment is to change Map #3 to add approximately 7 acres of land that was recently dedicated to the City for parkland to the neighborhood boundary for the Back
Nine neighborhood. This amendment would effectively allow an additional nine (9) units to be built in the Back Nine neighborhood, bringing the total to 342, for a density of 3.90 units per acre. The current
approved density is 4.2 units per acre, with a total unit count of 333. The total number of residential units approved for the overall Community of Bishops Bay project is 2,950 units, and that is not proposed
to increase.
At the hearing, all interested persons will have an opportunity to be heard, and final action will be considered.
More information about this request is available at City Hall during normal business hours, 7:45 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Ph. 821-8370 E-mail: ekelley@cityofmiddleton.us.
