bill would also require that the

“These measures would pre-

Subeck in a memo to Rep.

bill was drafted with assistance
from local law enforcement.

Big Bundle Up was a big success

Coat drive collected 818 winter coats for MOM
Thanks to the generous con-
tributions of community mem-
bers, the Middleton Outreach
Ministry (MOM) received 818
items to help keep local resi-
dents warm this winter.
The “Big Bundle Up” is a
statewide drive to collect cold
weather gear for people in need,
spearheaded by the Wisconsin
Department of Tourism.
The Middleton Tourism
Commission, which organized
the drive in Middleton, along
with partners Keva Sports Cen-
ter, Harbor Athletic Club and
the Middleton Public Library,
aimed to gather 250 items, but
ended up far exceeding that
goal.
“We’re so impressed with
the generosity of the people
in the Good Neighbor City,”
said Julie K. Peterman, CMP,
Middleton’s Director of Tour-
ism. “We couldn’t be more ex-
cited to have more than tripled
our goal, and to have beat last
year’s donations by six times!
Thank you for helping to take
care of your neighbors this win-
ter!”
Last year alone, the MOM
Clothing Center distributed
131,000 pounds of clothing,
helping people save needed
funds for necessary expenses
like rent and utilities.  than 31,000 items were col-
“We are incredibly humbled
by the generosity of the com-
munity and thank everyone who
participated!  All of those mit-
tens, hats, scarves, and warm
clothing means that hundreds
of people in our community
now have what they need to
stay safe and warm in our often
harsh Wisconsin weather,” said
Ellen Carlson, Executive Di-
rector of Middleton Outreach
Ministry. 
Altogether, statewide, more
lected during the Big Bundle
Up Campaign. Since its incep-
tion in 2011, the campaign has
brought in more than 134,441
winter clothing items including
hates, mittens, scarves, coats

County zoning proposal irks residents
BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
Town of Middleton residents
Monday were not happy with
some changes Dane County
planners proposed in a re-write
of the county’s zoning ordi-
nance.
The town has long enjoyed
the flexibility under A-1 zoning
that permits residential devel-
opment on a half-acre lots and
agricultural use, too.
However, the first ever com-
prehensive re-write of the or-
dinance would eliminate A-1
zoning and implement more
zoning categories for residen-
tial and agricultural use prop-
erties
Changes that most rankled
residents were proposed restric-
tions on livestock. Current zon-
ing allows an unlimited number
of livestock on a five-acre lot.
The proposed ordinance would
restrict the number of animals
on five acres and not allow un-
limited number on lots smaller
than eight acres.
“Why is it changing to eight
acres?” asked Richard Bakken.
Other residents called the
change “arbitrary,” and taking
away their property rights.
County Senior Planner Majid
Allan said livestock restrictions
would not apply to existing
agricultural operations but re-
viving dormant ones or new
startups would require a condi-
tional-use permit.

TOWN OF MIDDLETON
Allan’s statement that “get-
ting a conditional-use permit
isn’t entirely unreasonable,”
drew sustained laughter from
the audience.
Allan called the unlimited
animal allowance outdated in a
rapidly developing county.
“Shouldn’t neighbors have a
say when a new user goes over
the animal density threshold?”
Allan asked.
Some residents saw that as
favoring newcomers over ex-
isting property owners, others
called the change “arbitrary,”
and amounted to “taking away
their property rights.”
Residents also objected to
the cost of applying for a con-
ditional-use permit and the un-
certainty of getting one.
Board Member Paul Con-
nell told Allan that the resi-
dents don’t want to have to go
“downtown” to get permission
on how they want to use their
land.
“You have a lot of spade-
work to do,” Connell said about
the proposed changes.
Other proposed changes
raise questions about how they
would affect larger property
owners who don’t crop land but
keep them partly forested, said
Wayne Rounds.
The town voted last spring
not to opt out of county zon-
ing, partly on the premise that
“things would stay the same,”
but these proposed changes
appear to be drastic changes,
some residents said.
Photo by Michelle Larson
Jim Wells told the board to
consider revisiting the opt out
question depending on how the
revised ordinance turns out.
The town has been zoned
largely A-1, while much of the
remainder of the county was
zoned A-1 Exclusive. Both res-
idents and Allan acknowledged
that residential/agriculture
mixed use allowed under A-1
has prevented the town from
being annexed by municipali-
ties. It has also fostered high-
price residential development
while retaining a rural atmo-
sphere.
The town’s comprehensive
plan outlines more residential
development and says little
about the retaining agricultural
land use, Allan said. He encour-
aged adding “goals, objectives
and policies,” regarding re-
taining agriculture in the town
when the comprehensive plan
undergoes a 10-year update.
The discussion exceeded the
established time limit so Allan
and concerned property owners
adjourned an adjacent area to
continue to the conversation.
Allan said the proposed
changes are subject to revision
and if the additional revisions
are not acceptable, he urged
residents to seek changes from
the town and county boards.

Bauer deserves
another term
Dear editor,
I am writing in support of
Anne Bauer’s candidacy for
the Middleton Cross-Plains
Area School District Board of
Education.  Anne is currently
the Chairman of the Legislative
Committee and serves on the
Handbook Committee.
She is the only member with
an education and classroom
background.  She is also cur-
rently serving on the Compen-
sation Committee and has a real
understanding of the communi-
ties’ need to retain our current
quality teaching staff and the
need to continue a positive en-
vironment to recruit excellence
in the future.
As a former educator, teach-
ing general and special educa-
tion in public school districts
as well as being a parent of

two children (one with spe-
cial needs), Anne completely
understands addressing the
unique needs of all learners and
recognizes the necessity for an
environment for full potential.
I have had the privilege to
volunteer with Anne on school
projects and events and I look
forward to her continuing her
service on the Board of Edu-
cation.
Sincerely,

Bauer ‘the very
best choice’ for
school board
Letter to the editor,
I write in support of Anne
Bauer for the Middleton-Cross
Plains Area School District
(MCPASD) Board of Edu-
cation. She is a proven doer
dedicated to ensuring our com-
munity provides the finest, most
cost-effective public education
for all MCPASD students.
Bauer is without question the
most qualified member on the
MCPASD Board of Education
today, possessing advanced
degrees in education and class-
room teaching experience. She
works with the district admin-
istration staff and educators,
hands-on, to understand the
difficulties our schools face in
a time of tight budgets and in-
creasing challenges.
As a former school board
member, I can attest to the in-
sightful perspective she pro-
vides as a skilled educator.
Bauer studies the policy issues
in advance, arrives prepared,
and brings her expert thinking
to every school board meeting.
During board discussions she
translates the complex issues to
other board members, asks the
right questions, and gets into
the needed details impacting
our children. Her experience,
persistence and sense of vision
continues to achieve the best
for our community.
Bauer is committed to ensur-
ing every MCPASD student has
the opportunity to excel. As a
parent with children attending
public schools within the dis-
trict, she meets with teachers
and specialist dealings with the
demands of today’s academic
standards; of vital importance,
she understands what our chil-
dren must learn to become suc-
cessful adults and citizens.
Anne Bauer is the person
our community needs on the
school board to deal with the
challenges of sustaining qual-
ity education in the face of a
growing student population.
She understands our commu-
nity, our education system and
students, and importantly, she
knows how to get things done.
She is the very best choice for
the MCPASD Board of Educa-
tion.
I strongly urge you to vote
for Anne Bauer on Tuesday,
April 3.

We have the
power to stop
school shootings
Dear editor,
There have been 11 school
shootings in our first month of
2018! Our children and com-
munity deserve real action to
stop the epidemic of gun vio-
Opinion
lence in our country. We’re not
alone and we’re not helpless.
There are many seemingly sim-
ple, yet powerful things we can
do today!
More and more of our neigh-
bors are uniting to bring the
change we need. The phones
in Congress are ringing off the
hook with calls for common-
sense gun reform, peaceful
rallies are growing in num-
bers in cities across the coun-
try, and families and friends
are gathering together in their
own living rooms to talk about
bringing violence prevention
programs to their schools.
The movement is growing
and we must keep growing it.
There is reason to have hope
that we can prevent gun vio-
lence before it happens through
sensible gun safety laws and
programs in our schools and
communities that help us iden-
tify the signs and signals before
a shooting happens and inter-
vene.
To keep this hope alive and
bring the change we need, I am
asking everyone to take two
simple actions today. First,
call your member of Congress
today and ask that he or she
support gun violence preven-
tion legislation to keep guns out
of dangerous hands. Secondly,
Make the Promise at www.san-
dyhookpromise.org and help
bring Sandy Hook Promise’s
no-cost, violence prevention
programs to our schools and
community.

PRIMARY ELECTION: SUPREME COURT RACE
Three judicial philosophies
The Wisconsin Policy Forum recently put together a comprehensive Q&A for voters who wish to learn more
about the three Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates who will appear on the Tuesday, February 20 ballot:
Wisconsin voters face an
important choice this spring:
electing a new Wisconsin Su-
preme Court justice to fill the
first open seat since 2007. The
winner will serve a 10-year
term, succeeding Justice Mi-
chael Gableman, who is not
seeking re-election.
Three candidates—Madi-
son attorney Tim Burns, Mil-
waukee County Circuit Court
Judge Rebecca Dallet, and
Sauk County Circuit Court
Judge Michael Screnock—
will face each other in the
February 20 primary. The top
two vote-getters move on to
the April 3 general election.
As the Wisconsin Taxpayers
Alliance has done in past years,
the Wisconsin Policy Forum
is helping citizens learn more
about the candidates so they
can make an informed decision
at the ballot box. Candidates
were sent questionnaires asking
about their background, judicial
influences, and unique skills,
background, or insights they
might bring to the court. Their
answers are printed verbatim
beginning on page two.
This public service is
important for at least two
reasons. First, without an
incumbent, many voters will
be choosing between three
candidates who are rela-
tively unknown to them.
Second, spring elections are
generally low-turnout af-
fairs. In a sense, a vote cast
in a low-turnout race like the
spring election has more im-
pact, and an informed vote
makes for a better democracy.
The Candidates:
TIM BURNS
Please

your pro-
fessional
experience:
I was
one of the
handful of
graduating law students chosen
for a prestigious clerkship with
a judge on the United States
Court of Appeals. Accordingly,
I’m the only candidate with
experience working on an ap-
pellate court. I also have both
prosecuted and defended crimi-
nal cases, but while my experi-
ence starts there, it doesn’t end
there.
I’ve built a national prac-
tice as one of America’s lead-
ing attorneys in standing up to
massive insurance companies. I
have been hired by major busi-
nesses in three dozen states and
10 foreign countries to handle
their most sensitive insurance
issues, but I’ve also represented
regular working people in class
actions seeking to hold insur-
ance companies accountable
for financial fraud. I’ve been
a partner at three of the largest
and most prestigious law firms
in the country, but I’ve also
worked at an eight-lawyer law
firm in a small midwestern city.

CANDIDATE
QUESTIONS:
To help voters learn more
about the candidates and
make an informed decision,
the Wisconsin Policy Forum
sent all three a questionnaire
asking about their back-
ground, experience, and judi-
cial philosophy. We thank the
candidates for their coopera-
tion and prompt responses.
Their unedited answers fol-
low:
Why are you running for the
Wisconsin Supreme Court?
Burns: I’m running for
the Wisconsin Supreme Court
because in the span of my
adulthood, equal opportunity
for the children of people who
struggle has disappeared in our
country. It has been replaced
by a system where most new
income and wealth goes to
the top 1% and everyone else
works longer and harder for
less and less.
The inequity is astounding,
and our rubber stamp Wis-
consin Supreme Court is part
of the problem. The courts
are the final authority in this
country, and ours has been
looking out for corporations
and special interests while
leaving the rest of us behind.
Dallet: Our state Supreme
Court is broken and
dysfunctional. Our values
are under attack. Civil rights
are threatened, and equal
protection under the law is
in question. Working people
have lost basic protections,
and threats to women lead the
headlines. Our expectations
for clean air and water are
endangered.
Judges are challenged every
single day: to weigh the facts,
examine the evidence and de-
liver a decision. With so much
at stake here in Wisconsin, in-
experience is not an option if
we want to protect our values
at the highest level. I am the
candidate with the most and
best experience in the court-
room.
I was raised by a single
mom, and today, my husband
and I are raising three daugh-
ters. I think about their future
every single day, and the kind
of Wisconsin I want for them.
We’ve seen a state that bends
to the whims of special inter-
ests.
I’d rather live in a Wiscon-
sin where every person has an
opportunity to thrive, where
our values are advanced and
protected in our highest court,
and where every citizen is
treated equally under the law.
I especially want a Wisconsin
where little girls know they
won’t be held back regardless
of what the President does or
tweets.
We need someone who
knows how to do the job on
day one and someone who
understands the challenges
we are facing. I am that candi-
date. That’s why I’ve earned
the support of more than 340
judges and elected officials
across the state.
Screnock: I am a product of
Wisconsin – born in Wautoma,
raised in Baraboo, a graduate
of Baraboo High School,
UW-Madison, and UW Law
School – and I love our state.
During college I played tuba
in the UW Marching Band
and enjoyed entertaining our
Camp Randall crowds through
the Don Morton era.
I utilized my degrees in
math and business administra-
tion to serve the communities
of Reedsburg, Washburn, and
Ashland as either finance direc-
tor or city administrator.
As an attorney I assisted indi-
viduals and private businesses
solve problems and untangle
legal issues, often wrestling
with complex areas of the law
that ended up being resolved by
our court of appeals or supreme
court.
My heart for public service
and my passion for the law
converged when I accepted an
appointment from Governor
Walker to the Sauk County Cir-
cuit Court in 2015.
It is a privilege and an honor
to serve my hometown of Bara-
boo in this most significant
role, and I have steadfastly held
to the judicial philosophy de-
scribed below. I understand the
importance of a stable, predict-
able legal system.
People, businesses, and
local governments cannot
reliably operate in an envi-
ronment where the laws that
govern their affairs are sub-
ject to change at the whim
of our state supreme court
justices.
Wisconsin citizens lived
through such instability in
the mid-2000s and I do not
want to see our court return
to those roots. I am running
at this time to ensure that our
next justice steadfastly ad-
heres to the rule of law.
Who or what most influ-
enced your judicial philoso-
phy, and why?
Dallet: I made a decision
early on in my career that I
wanted to help people, work
for those who need their voices
heard and who need justice –
and not work to represent the
interests of corporate clients.
That’s why I entered public
service.
I know what it’s like to
work day in and day out in
our courtrooms. I see the chal-
lenges our neighbors face:
moms like me working two
jobs, but still not able to make
ends meet; families losing
their homes when someone
gets sick and the medical bills
stack up; victims of violent
crime, especially in our poor-
est neighborhoods, struggling
to find a way as guns and
drugs devastate their com-
munity. And I see neighbors
trying to get their lives back
on track, but stuck in a crim-
inal justice system that needs
reform.
Over the years, I’ve admired
Justice Ann Walsh Bradley’s
career on the Wisconsin Su-
preme Court and believe we
share a commitment to elimi-
nating special interests and par-
tisan politics in our courtrooms.
As the first woman to serve on
the U.S. Supreme Court, Jus-
tice Sandra Day O’Connor has
always been a role model pav-
ing the way for women in our
judicial system.
Screnock: The late Justice
Antonin Scalia is a personal
and professional hero of mine
who was taken from us far too
soon. His judicial philosophy –
fidelity to the Constitution, the
rule of law, and the separation
of powers – is the same
philosophy that guides me. He
understood his responsibility to
decide cases based on the law
as he found it and not on his
own personal beliefs or policy
preferences, regardless how
strongly-held those might be.
He understood that our sys-
tem of government allows the
other two branches to select
and implement public policy;
the court’s role is to intervene
only when one of the other
branches has overstepped a
boundary imposed by the Peo-
ple through the Constitution,
not to legislate from the bench.
I share Justice Scalia’s view of
the court’s role.
Judges are not legislators,
nor are we executives. It is up
to duly elected representatives
in the legislature to pass the
laws that govern us, and it is
up to the governor to veto or
enforce those laws. Our job as
judges is to interpret and apply
the law, based not on our per-
sonal or political beliefs but on
the statutory text and the Con-
stitution.
Simply put, our job is to be
arbiters of the law, not policy
analysts or political activists.
Citizens across our great state
deserve the security and pre-
dictability of an independent,
nonpartisan supreme court
made up of justices who will
abide by these principles when
presiding over each and every
case before them.
Burns: Two things. My
background and the broad
middle-class economy of my
childhood most influenced my
judicial philosophy.
My background: I’m not a
lawyer’s kid. I am the grand-
son of Mississippi sharecrop-
pers. My father was forced
out of school by poverty in the
fifth grade. My mother in the
tenth grade, but I grew up in
a time when a minimum wage
job could still support a fam-
ily. Public education and pub-
lic libraries built by the broad
middle-class economy of my
childhood gave me the oppor-
tunity to become a successful
attorney. I believe courts have
a role in ensuring that all peo-
ple have that opportunity.
The middle-class economy of
my childhood: We cannot have
a thriving democracy without a
broad and strong middle-class
economy. Courts are the third
branch of government and have
an independent duty to protect
that middle-class economy
by making sure that the other
branches do not harm the cor-
nerstones of that middle- class
economy—worker movements,
small farms, small businesses,
public education, and thriving
diverse communities.
Thinking about current
members of the Wisconsin
Supreme Court, what unique
skills, background, or insights
would you bring to the court
that it does not now have?
Screnock: There is a
constant tension between
society’s interests, expressed
through government
regulations, and the interests
of private individuals and
businesses. This tension lies at
the heart of many cases decided
by our supreme court.
I have spent most of my ca-
reer wrestling with this tension;
See PRIMARY, page 7

Primary continued from page 6

indeed, my service as both
a local government official
and an attorney representing
private individuals and busi-
nesses subjected to local and
state regulation provides me a
unique perspective. As a local
government official I gained
expertise in the areas of land
use planning, economic de-
velopment, zoning, budgeting,
open meetings/public records,
and personnel management.
As an attorney my work fo-
cused on civil litigation and
administrative proceedings
in a wide variety of subject
areas, including real estate
and land use disputes, govern-
ment regulation, assessment
and taxation, public utility
regulation, environmental
law, election law, and consti-
tutional law. Such a complete
immersion in the issues that
lie at the very core of the ten-
sion between government reg-
ulation and private interests is
highly unusual for a supreme
court candidate, and I would
welcome the ฀฀ opportunity to
฀฀฀
bring this experience to our
high court.
In addition, my MBA train-
ing and my experience as a city
administrator and finance direc-
tor will serve the court well as
it carries out its administrative
and supervisory functions over
our entire state court system.
The court system is not insu-
lated from budgetary concerns
and my experience will be use-
ful as the court continues to
seek ways to operate more effi-
ciently while improving service
to the public.
Supreme Court, I have the
most experience working with
American businesses by far.
I’ve been hired by the many
of the top manufacturing,
banking, and investment
companies in the world or
their boards of directors to
advise them on their most
sensitive issues concerning
liability and insurance. For
the past 15 years, I’ve been
teaching the board members
of many American businesses
at Stanford University’s
Directors College and the
Director Consortium of
Stanford’s Law School, the
University of Chicago and
Dartmouth University.
Today, it is my experience
that is most needed on the Wis-
consin Supreme Court. I know
how to hold massive corpora-
tions in check because I know
how they work, inside and out.
I know when corporations over-
step.
Our small farms and small
businesses deserve to compete
on a฀฀ level playing field with
the large conglomerates of
the world. They can only do
that if we elect a justice who
truly understands businesses
and how they work, but who
also has the background to
be deeply concerned with the
rights and problems of regu-
lar people. I’ll be a justice on
the Wisconsin Supreme Court
who looks out for all Wiscon-
sinites, not just the special in-
terests, not just big business,
and not just the wealthy and

Dallet: Corporate special
interests are spending massive
amounts to buy judges on the
court to serve their interests, not
yours. Right now, justices do
not have to recuse themselves
from cases involving a conflict
of interest. If one of their
campaign mega-donors has a
case in front of the Supreme
Court, Justices aren’t required
to recuse themselves.
We saw it in the John Doe in-
vestigation: Justices Gableman
and Prosser refused to recuse
themselves. There was a clear
conflict of interest. They bene-
fited from millions in campaign
contributions, and they ruled to
shut down the investigation.
This is a symptom of a sys-
tem that’s broken. I’ll fight to
ensure we have policy that pre-

Middleton’s heating up
Cardinals
hold off
Verona
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
The ball hung in the air for a
second, maybe two.
But to Middleton’s girls
basketball team, it felt like a
decade.
The Cardinals, mired in
a two-game losing streak,
were desperate for a win
against Verona last Thursday.
Middleton was clinging to a
45-42 lead with three seconds
left, when Wildcats’ leading
scorer Chandler Bainbridge got
a clean look at a three-pointer
from the left corner.
As Bainbridge’s shot crept
closer to the rim, most of
the Cardinals had the same
thought.
“I was very nervous,”
Middleton sophomore forward
Karina Bursac said.
Much to Middleton’s
delight, Bainbridge’s shot
clanged off the iron. Verona’s
Katie Pederson rebounded and
missed a two-pointer at the
horn and the Cardinals escaped
with a 45-42 win.
Middleton improved to
11-7 overall and moved into
third place in the Big Eight
Conference at 9-5. Verona fell
to 8-10 overall and slipped to
fifth in the league at 8-6.
Middleton had lost its
previous two games to Sun
Prairie and Janesville Craig by
an average of 17.5 points and
badly needed a win.
“We talked before the game
that this was a crossroads game
for us,” said Middleton coach
Jeff Kind. “It had been a tough
week. We needed this one.”
Bursac shot 7-of-10 from
the field and led the Cardinals
with a career-high 18 points.
Bainbridge led the Wildcats
with a game-high 19 points.
“We played with a lot of
urgency,” Bursac said. “It was
a really big win for us. Coach
called it a ‘crossroads’ game
before the game and we really
needed it.”
Middleton led, 40-30, after
a pair of Bursac free throws
with 5:29 left. But the Wildcats
forced consecutive Cardinals
turnovers and Bainbridge
scored five straight points as
Verona closed within 40-35
with 4:10 remaining.
Middleton still seemed in
decent shape as its lead was
43-37 with 1:51 left. But
Bainbridge drilled a 23-foot
three-pointer, had a steal on the
other end, then buried two free
throws with 34.6 seconds left
as Verona closed within 43-42.
“We didn’t handle things
very well down the stretch,”
Sports
Cardinals
lock down
Parker
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
There is good defense.
And then there is astonish-
ing defense.
Middleton’s girls basket-
ball team had the latter last
Saturday.
The host Cardinals held
Janesville Parker to just 11 sec-
ond half points and rolled past
the Vikings, 69-45. Middleton
trailed, 34-32, at halftime
before its second half explo-
sion.
The Cardinals improved to
12-7 overall and remained in
third place in the Big Eight
Conference at 10-5. Parker fell
to 7-11, 5-10.
Middleton sophomore
forward Sitori Tanin led all
scorers with 22 points. Julia
Hartwig, the Big Eight’s lead-
ing scorer, and Jenna Forrestal
scored 15 points apiece to lead
Parker. 
“We played one of our best
halves of basketball the sec-
ond half of the Parker game,”
Middleton coach Jeff Kind
said. “We were getting good
movement from our offense,
some good interior passing and
our post players were doing
a good job of attacking the
basket.
“Defensively, we did a pret-
ty good job containing Julia
Hartwig and we did a much
Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld
Karina Bursac sparked Middleton’s 45-42 win over Verona last Thursday. See PARKER, page 17
Kind said. “That’s part of hav-
ing a young team … but we
need to be better than that.”
Verona immediately fouled
Middleton senior forward
Claire Staples, who was a hav-
ing a rough shooting night. But
Staples calmly drained a pair
of foul shots and the Cardinals
pushed their lead to 45-42.
Verona coach Angie
Murphy — the leading scorer
in Middleton history — took
timeouts with 22.8 and 17.3
seconds left to set up a final
shot. And Middleton’s Kind
gave serious thought to fouling

Instead, Kind let it play out

the game — couldn’t get this
one to fall.

They’re back.
One week after suffering
one of its worst losses of the
season, Middleton’s boys bas-
ketball team bounced back by
routing Verona, 64-29, in a Big
Eight Conference game last
Friday night.
“I really expected a pretty
close game tonight,” Middleton
coach Kevin Bavery said. “We
established right away that we
were going to go inside with
it. Our guys did a nice job. The
timing was there and the post
moves were pretty quick.”
The Cardinals were espe-
cially sharp on both ends of the
court in the first half, connect-
ing on 7-of-11 three-pointers
and limiting the Wildcats to
just 14 points.
“It’s fun when everything
works,” Bavery said.
The Cardinals improved to
10-8 overall and 8-6 in the
Big Eight Conference. Verona
dropped to 9-8 and 6-8.
“In practice we’ve just
been firing on all cylinders,”
Middleton senior Brogan
Brunker said. “It’s just good to
see that especially coming off
the Craig loss. That was kind of
a fluke game, but we’re back.”
Brunker was referencing
the deflating 71-55 loss the
Cardinals suffered at Janesville
Craig the previous week when
Middleton got off to a slow
start and never recovered.
“We weren’t shooting the
ball. I was out of shape, nobody
had energy, it was a long trip
down to Craig and they lit us
up and we just couldn’t claw
our way back,” said Brunker,
who had just returned from an
ankle injury against Craig. “It’s
going to happen, but I told the
guys to burn the film and move
on from that one.”
Bavery worked his players
hard at practice after the loss.
“We took that one to heart at
Craig and it was a tough week
of practice,” senior guard Joel
Ticknor said. “One of our hard-
est practices of the year was on
Tuesday. We were running all
practice. (We ran) 17s which
are 17 touches of the baseline.”
“We had our main core
guys that were on the floor and
coach kicked our (butt),” added
Brunker. “We were running the
entire practice and we were
tired.”
It all worked out in the end
as the Cardinals dominated the
Wildcats, a team Middleton
had also beaten 71-42 back
in December. They did it by
employing an inside-outside

attack.
“Every day we try to be
motivated just to get better and
today we established our inside
game which really helped us,”
Ticknor said. “We need to
always do that every game and
then other things will come
after that so I think that’s why
we clicked today. We found
open shots and we drove to the
basket after we established our
inside game.”
Middleton connected on
12 three-pointers in the game,
including three apiece by
Ticknor and senior forward
Nick Michaels.
“In the past we’ve come
down and we’ve launched a
lot of threes without getting
anything established inside,”
Bavery said. “So we got this
many threes tonight, but it was
after they came in rhythm, they
came with the ball going inside
first. Now we’ve got things
going in to the basket, we’ve
got actions going to the basket
that drags them inside and now

is capable. Now, if we can
continue to establish that we’re
going to go inside no matter
who we’re going to play and
take care of the ball and have
that same offensive presence
inside, inside, inside, inside,
outside, then we can play with
anybody.”
The Cardinals also excelled
on the defensive end, forc-
ing the Wildcats into 13-of-
40 shooting (32.5%) from the
floor and just 29 points.
“We trapped well in the
half court and we forced things
defensively. The help was usu-
ally there and guys were getting
in the passing lanes,” Bavery
said. “To hold someone under
30 in this league you’re doing
some pretty good things.”
Brunker paced Middleton
with 12 points. Ticknor and
Michaels added 11 points
apiece and senior forward Alan
Roden contributed 10 points
and 10 rebounds.
With just four conference
games remaining in the regu-
lar season, the Cardinals are
hoping to finish strong heading
into the playoffs.
“We’ve got a good chance
to win out and, if we do win
out, then that’ll give us a lot
of momentum going into the
playoffs and I’m really excit-
ed about where we could go,”
Brunker said.

Andrew Martin and Middleton’s boys swimming team finished third at the Big Eight Conference meet.
Swimmers 3rd at Big Eight
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Many expected the Big
Eight Conference boys swim-
ming and diving meet to be a
lopsided affair dominated by
Madison West.
The powerful Regents did
win the meet held last Saturday
at Beloit Memorial High
School. But it was anything but
lopsided.
Both Madison Memorial
and Middleton made the
Regents sweat, before West
prevailed in a thrilling affair.
The Regents won the meet
with 597 points, while Madison
Memorial was second at 542.5.
Middleton finished third with
514.5 points, while Verona-
Mount Horeb (208) and Sun
Prairie (182) rounded out the
top five.
“Everyone was pretty
confident West was going to
run away with the meet, so
it was fun that it was close
between us, Memorial, and
West,” Middleton coach Danny
Lynam said. “At the end of
the day you have to hand it to
Memorial that they came in
and earned that second place.
They worked hard for it. We
certainly look forward to rac-

to spring a bevy of upsets for
their playoff run to last longer

Middleton received the
No. 6 seed in its sectional.
Middleton will travel to
third-seeded Sun Prairie on
Feb. 15 for a regional semifinal
that begins at 7:30 p.m.

Middleton senior standout
Michael Draves won the 200-

yard freestyle despite missing
some time last week with an
illness.
“It was also good for
Michael to come away with
wins in the 200 and 500 after
battling with the fever a few
days prior,” Lynam said.
Cardinals junior Andrew
Martin was also second in
the 500-yard freestyle and
fourth in the 200-yard free-

McNerney added a second
place finish in the 500-yard
freestyle.

And Middleton’s foursome
of Lamers, Kim, Young and
Draves was fourth.
“We showed up knowing
every single swim was going to
make a difference and we gave
it everything we had,” Lynam
said. “Our guys who tapered
for conference swam fantastic.
Almost all of them dropped
time and their were a lot of
personal bests.
“Our three seniors who fin-
ished their season on Saturday
— Jacob Trepczyk, Tim Utter,
and Jack Wilson — all had
great swims and helped keep
the energy of the team up.
Nathan Kim also had a great

Wrestlers third at Big Eight meet

BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Kent Weiler has been
around the sport of wrestling a
long time.
Weiler was a standout on the
mats three decades ago. And
Weiler has been Middleton’s
wrestling coach since 2005.
So when Weiler utters the
following words, you listen
closely.
“In all my years, that was
the best high school match I’ve
ever been a part of,” Weiler
said of last Saturday’s Big
Eight Conference meet held at
Madison La Follette.
Few would argue with
Weiler.
There was drama, intrigue,
suspense and tension.
In the end, upstart Janesville
Craig won the conference title
with 228 points. Sun Prairie
was a close second with 221,
while Middleton was third at
220.
“All day long I kept telling
them, ‘Someone’s got to win a
match you’re not supposed to,’
” Weiler said. “We came up
just a little short of that.”
Middleton junior wres-
tling standout Kevin Meicher
won his second Big Eight
Conference title in three years.
Meicher pinned Sun Prairie’s
Karson Sutton at 152 pounds
in the title match in 1:21 and
improved to 37-0 on the sea-
son.
Meicher opened with a
first round bye, then pinned
Madison La Follette’s
Alejandro Martinez in 1:55. In
the semifinals, Meicher pinned
Fernando Badillo of Beloit
Memorial in 1:01. Then in the
title match, Meicher rolled past
Sutton.
Caudle of Beloit Memorial,
8-2. But in the finals, Keeanu
Benton of Janesville Craig
pinned Lockett in 1:27.
Hoffman received a first
round bye, then pinned Nick
Heinzen of Verona in 1:16.
In the semifinals, Hoffman
defeated Wyatt Thiel of Sun
Prairie, 8-3. Then in the finals,
Janesville Craig’s Ethan Smith
defeated Hoffman, 7-2.
While Middleton would
have loved to win the title,
Weiler knew his kids per-
formed extremely well.
“It stings when your goal is
win it,” Weiler said. “But the
kids had great day.
“It was a great team effort
and the whole team was
involved, which was good to
see. The kids wrestled well and
we hit our seed or exceeded it
at almost every weight class.
We just came up a little bit
short.”

better job closing out on perim- much more effective in getting

eter shooters in the second half.
Holding them to 11 second
half points was impressive
and a large factor in that was
rebounding.”
The second half struggles
were a shock for Parker coach
Jennah Hartwig.
The Vikings played
extremely well in the first half
and seemed poised to give
Middleton a fight to the end.
“We just went very cold
in the second half,” Jennah
Hartwig said. “We ran out of
gas. They kept attacking the
basket and we were strug-
gling to stay in front of them. I
thought going in we had a great
chance of beating them.”
In the second half, though,
Middleton was remarkably
effective on defense and
solid on offense, as well. The
Cardinals also did many of the
little things necessary.
“We held them to just six
offensive rebounds and were
to 50-50 balls,” Kind said. “We
continued to struggle with turn-
overs a bit, but hopefully we’ll
continue to improve in that
respect as well.”

had been giving Middleton
fits. But the Cardinals went to
a zone offense called “trips”
where Bursac and sophomore
forward Sitori Tanin began
picking apart the Wildcats’
zone with a nifty high-low
game.
Bursac had nine points in
the final 8 ½ minutes of the
first half, while Tanin had two
assists and a basket.
“Our interior passing
was really good,” Kind said.
“We’re getting better at that
and it’s helping us break down
some zones.”
Meanwhile, Middleton’s
potent 1-3-1 zone defense
was giving Verona fits, as the
Wildcats managed just four
points in their final 14 first half
possessions.
Middleton’s lead was 34-30
with 7:45 left in the game when
it smacked the Wildcats with
a 6-0 run. Hannah Flottmeyer

That set the stage for the
dramatic final minutes, in
which the Cardinals managed

was enough for Middleton to
escape victorious. It’s a

“It got tough at the end,”
Bursac said. “But we just
didn’t let up.
“Against Janesville Craig

for some reason, but we stayed
