Little did that defense attorney know how Jambois would apply this piece of wisdom.

Decades later, Jambois, now an experienced lawyer with District Attorney credit under his belt, found himself entrenched in another David and Goliath-type scenario.

Townships in EMS districts across Dane County may be facing an added expense this next year: EMS vehicle insurance. Ambulance and emergency vehicle insurance costs have, in recent years, been covered by Dane County under a single plan paid for entirely by the county. The early July announcement of the countys plan to push EMS districts to individually purchase insurance on their vehicles had initially caused intergovernmental strife between the county executives office and various local government bodies throughout the county, and is still the source of tension at town board
meetings in Westport. I think, commented Westport board chairman John Van Dinter at a July board meeting, it [EMS insurance provision] is a significant battle that needs to be fought. In response, the county has stepped forward with a potential compromise. Letters and contractual addenda were mailed out on July 22 to both the Middleton EMS district and the Waunakee EMS district detailing potential refunds both could receive if they agree to independently purchase new vehicular insurance as of Sept 1, 2013. Replacing a single policy that covers multiple entities, read the letters signed by Dan Lowndes, Dane County Risk Manager, with

A former philosophy student who moved his large-scale marijuana business to Middleton after being arrested in Madison was sentenced Thursday Bokas in federal court to 6.5 years in prison. Nicholas Bokas, 33, had been arrested in the spring of 2012 after police searched his E Mifflin Ave. apartment and recovered 97 pounds of marijuana, 188 one-pound baggies that contained marijuana residue and $4,700 in cash. While police were conducting the search two individuals showed up each carrying large amounts of cash presumably to pay off drug debts, said District Judge Barbara Crabb. Instead of getting out of the marijuana business, Bokas move to a Cen-
tury Ave. residence and continued selling until he was arrested during a controlled buy on Feb. 19. At the time, Bokas was on probation for a Dodge County drug conviction. Bokas had been selling up to 10 pounds of marijuana a week for $3,400 a pound, according to a complaint filed in court. Crabb found that Bokas distributed between 220 and 880 pounds of pot from late 2011 until February. Sentencings are always sad and this is one of the sadder ones, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim OShea. Bokas had degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison after majoring in history and philosophy and his father, Nicholas G. Bokas, is an attorney in the state public defenders Milwaukee office. Bokas also has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and had been taking medication for it for years. His father wrote Crabb that the medication made his son more susceptible to drug use and then the risky behavior of selling drugs.
Bokas became addicted to crack cocaine, his health was declining and his arrest for conspiracy to distribute marijuana was a life-saving event, his father said. The past six months he has spent in jail is the only time in the last 15 years Bokas has been completely sober, his father said. Bokas told Crabb he regrettable the choices he has made and the effect they have had on his family. He now wants to use the experience to become a better person. Bokas attorney, Ronald Benavides, asked for a six-year sentence saying his
client was still young, had no gang affiliation or history of violence. Crabb said Bokas sentencing needed to reflect the amount of marijuana he distributed, his role as an organizer in the conspiracy, and his past drug convictions stemming from 2000. Crabb also placed Bokas on four years supervised release after he completes his sentence. OShea said he will eventually seek a reduced sentence for Bokas for his cooperation with authorities.

Johnson indicated the position was first offered to another candidate who initially accepted, but then withdrew her acceptance. He said the district received 72 applications and interviewed four candidates, including three internal to the school district. Johnson said the interviewed candidates were all well qualified and that he is very pleased with the selection of Schell. Johnson added, I am very excited to have Bob assume this leadership position at Elm Lawn. He is positive, thoughtful, energetic and committed to serve and lead the students, families, and staff at Elm Lawn.

At its August 12 meeting, the Middleton-Cross Plains Area Board of Education learned that the $75 per pupil increase in aid payment permitted by the recently-passed Wisconsin state budget will mean a nine-cent increase to the mill rate. Assistant superintendent Wohlleber said the mill rate is rising to $11.75 for every $1,000 of assessed property value. This years state budget allows for the $75 per student increase in 2013-14, and an additional $75 in 2014-15. The district budget is firming up as enrollment projections and their revenue implications are becoming more set as the beginning of the new school year approaches. The school board approved a preliminary budget for 2013-2014 at their July 22 meeting. At the August 12 meeting, the board added to this preliminary budget an allocation of $135,000 for district priorities designed to address the achievement gap. These priorities include an increase of the bilingual and ELL budget, a fulltime translator and interpreter, an extended instructional K-8 day for math and literacy and funds for the K-12 programming as part of the District Equity Leadership Team. The preliminary budget will be presented at the Annual Meeting and Budget Hearing on Sept. 16 and will be
utilized by the district to operate the school district until the 2013-2014 budget is adopted by the board in late October. Based on enrollment projections, administrators decided to add a Kindergarten section at Elm Lawn (increasing from four to five), and subtract a Kindergarten section from Northside (decreasing from four to three.) Assistant superintendent George Marvoulis indicated that even after the change, the average Kindergarten class size at Northside was projected to be 21.3 students, the second lowest among district elementary schools. At the August board meeting it was also shared that total enrollment is 25 above projection and 110 above the official Third Friday September count from a year ago. Marvoulis estimates the final enrollment figures will reflect a net gain of between 75 to 100 students over last year. Superintendent Don Johnson recommended Bob Schell to replace Mike Pisani as the principal at Elm Lawn at the August 12 meeting and the board made his appointment official by approving the nomination. Pisani left earlier this summer to take an elementary principal position in the Verona Area School District. Schell has taught at Sunset Ridge, Glacier Creek and Kromrey, where he most recently worked as a sixth grade math, reading and English teacher. He has also been a math teacher trainer for College Prep Math and been actively engaged as a teacher leader at Krom-
ing, not just worrying about grades or homework. She also said that after the first year, 70 percent of graduating students had specific plans for post secondary education, including MATC, UW-Madison and UW system schools, among others. The intent of the updated requirements proposal is to streamline and simplify the requirements so they are more easily understand and relevant. She noted there are currently over 200 standards and that students often werent credited with related work they did outside of the school. Also at the August 12 meeting, board members discussed their ongoing partnerships with the schools and whether to continue the program and/or make changes. With this program, board members are assigned to a particular school(s) and attend events or meetings at those schools to foster better relationships between the board and district schools. Several board
members indicated they thought the program was working well overall and that it is leading to better understanding and relationships. However, they also indicated their presence sometimes appeared to make district staff anxious and the purpose of their attendance wasnt always clear. The board decided to continue the program and will work on clarifying and better communicating their role in the schools.

The backpack distribution, which will serve MOM clients who have preregistered for the program, will run in conjunction with a clothing and sporting goods distribution through MOMs Clothing Center. At a time of year where many families are shopping for new school clothing for their growing children, clients can take as much clothing as they need to clothe their children for the upcoming cooler weather.

of demonstrations garnered extensive media attention and served as the driving force behind an ultimately unsuccessful recall effort. Protesters spoke up, fought back and as a result, landed themselves in some form of trouble with the law. Police officers began issuing tickets to political activists left and right, creating a significant need for legal aid. The Action Team mentioned that the protesters were having trouble finding lawyers, said Jambois. I didnt plan on taking the cases; I was just

Residents reported a male marching back and forth near the pool and volleyball court in the Middleton Shores Apartment Complex, carrying an assault rifle. Officers arrived, set up a perimeter, formed a contact team and took the subject into custody.

going to give the team ideas on how to litigate them. Offering a few informed thoughts turned into an inundating caseload for he and his wifes small practice. Even two years later, the demand for legal counsel remains steady. Although more than 60 protester ticketing cases have been dismissed, more continue to pop up for activists engaged in the daily Solidarity Sing-Along at the Capitol. Considering that Jambois does not identify as much of a social justice crusader, or particularly liberal for that
matter, his involvement in the Wisconsin protesters fight seems like something of a fluke. My wife is much more of an activist than I am, he stated with a tone of glaring honesty. After all, I was a prosecutor for most of my career; Im not especially liberal. Yet, Jambois dismissal of any progressive kudos cloaks stands in contrast to friends and citizens he has helped. They say he possessed an admirable sense of righteous indignation for threats to justice.
While he may not attribute any activist merit to his name, Jambois sudden immersion in the Wisconsin uprising was nonetheless fueled by a fire in his belly to do the right thing. In recounting why he dove into the 2011 uproar, Jambois says brazenly, I was appalled at the Department of Justices response to people simply exercising their First Amendment rights. While a desire to protect fundamental freedoms pushed Jambois to get involved in this battle, when asked where he thinks the protesters fight is headed,
the Middleton attorney offers a measured response. I dont know how all these cases will resolve, but we didnt win any of them so far by taking on the constitutional issue, he continued. We won because police were charging without proper investigation. Jambois days of small claims cases may be behind him, but his advocacy for the Wisconsin protesters goes to show that alleged abuses of power irk the Middleton resident.

as being $2,508 and $3,887, respectively. However, at the August 5 town board meeting in Westport, there were signs the township was disagreeable to the countys first attempt at a compromise. The Dane County Towns Association and the Dane County Cities and Washer and dryer coin boxes were forcibly pried open and change taken at Arbor Lakes Apartments on July 24. Copper tubing was removed from commercial air conditioning units at Gildas Club between July 26 and July 29.
Villages Association, explained Westport Chairman John Van Dinter, [have] sent a letter to the Department of Revenue asking that they reduce [the countys] revenue limits by the $108k [used for vehicular insurance] and appropriate that amount to the towns that would be affected by this. Further discussion suggested that Our two officers assigned to motorcycle patrol had 105 enforcement actions during the month of which 82 were citations and 23 were warnings. This program continues to show its worth. Officer Wood has been authorized to continue the patrol through September. Directed traffic patrols were performed for about 25 hours during the month with 76 enforcement actions taken. Forty-six citations were issued for Speeding with four warnings, 13 citations for Insurance violations, three citations for Registration violations,
this would give the townships wiggle room to expand their levies to help cover this potential new cost. Some Westport Town Board members even expressed concern for the future of other EMS funding should this cost be transferred to the towns from the county. Van Dinter also expressed trepidatwo citations for Operating After Suspension, two citations for Seatbelt, one citation for OWI, one citation for Drivers License violation with two warnings and two municipal citations for drug offense.

For much of my adult life, Ive had a vegetable patch. Ive grown bushels of tomatoes and potatoes, pecks of peppers and too many zucchinis to give away. When I signed the lease for my apartment last January, it was with more than a modicum of regret that it did not come with garden space. There was room on my deck for a tomato plant or two, but nowhere near enough space for the number of plants Id need to make the salsa and soup that I usually canned every fall. I resigned myself to buy them at the farmers market or to purchase a share in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). The plan B option hung
Food Pantry Garden
heavily in my heart, though, because it wouldnt give me the experience that I loved, of planting and harvesting my own crops. Reaching into the dirt and finding potatoes under the wilted vine is as good as finding gold, to me. Since Ive never really found any gold I should probably find a new comparison, but as this article is due soon, Im just going to trust that you get it. I enjoy equal pleasure from watching the tomatoes rising blush. What I didnt know last January, was that the Middleton Outreach Ministry (MOM) had a food pantry and teaching garden. Once that news hit my ears, I made a call to Dan Johnson, the gardens energetic coordinator. He told me that if I mentored two families, and helped with occasional weeding and watering of the shared areas, I could have a patch of my own. Now, not only am I growing a crop
of vegetables, Im also growing a crop of familiar faces and new friends through the experience. My vegetables are taking root, and so am I. And, Im learning just as much new information about growing vegetables as I am teaching! My latest information and inspiration has come from Katrina Willis who moved to Middleton about ten years ago. Originally from Mississippi, Katrina grew up eating dishes that were made with crops more suited to Southern climes like black-eyed peas and crowder peas. Her mother is an expert cook, perfecting the recipes that she started creating as a teenager in the cotton belt. Because Katrinas mother was allergic to cotton, she could not work alongside of her family members in the fields. Her way to contribute was to cook for them. Through the years, her mother moved to Chicago and continued to perfect the tantalizing recipes she created in Mississippi. By word of mouth, the news of her delicious dishes spread. Soon she was catering business lunches and family gatherings on a regular basis. It was difficult, for a long time, to she hides under her blankets and insists that shes not going. Mr. Hartwell reminds Sarah about all of the wonderful parts of being in a classroom and finally coaxes her out of bed and downstairs to the breakfast table. Sarah is not happy about it, but she does eat a little bit of toast and get in the car, where she slumps in her seat all the way to school. A surprise twist ending will delight readers when the discover Sarah Janes true identity. This lighthearted, relatable picture book provides a jumping-off point for many conversations about dealing with new situations and experiencing anxiety. Lois Lowrys Gooney Bird Greene is on the Map is the fifth book in a popular and well-written series of beginning chapter books. Mrs. Pidgeons second grade class is gearing up for a
find affordable sources and big enough quantities of the brown, black and white crowder peas that were the main ingredients in some of her dishes. The plants could grow in southern Illinois, but not near Chicago. This year, Katrina decided to see, for herself, whether a northern summer and soil could offer a long enough season and the right growing conditions for them. One look at the page 1 photo accompanying this article and youll see the results of her experiment. In addition to growing okra, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and speckled butter beans, Katrina has a bumper crop of the crowder peas her family used to grow in the south. She will be picking them soon and freezing them. Freezing the peas instead of drying them allows for a shorter cooking time. Growing a small commodity makes it feasible to harvest and process them herself. When her family grew their own or bought bushels of them from other growers, they took them to a facility and paid for them to be shelled, washed and frozen. I told Katrina that I thought the Middleton Times-Trubune readers would love one of the crowder pea recipes. school break, and it seems like every student besides Gooney Bird has exotic plans. Gooney Bird isnt going to Hawaii or Floridaor anywhere else, for that matter. Shes staying home, and its hard to listen to her classmates gloat about their exciting vacation itineraries. In classic Gooney Bird Greene fashion, she decides to make the best of the situation, and she sets out to have an unforgettable staycation. In the end, she manages to have a great time and help the whole class learn a thing or two about geography. Readers who love fiction series will make a quick friend out of Gooney Bird; look for the whole series! In Emma Emmets, Playground Matchmaker by Julia DeVillers, Emma has discovered her purpose in life: matching up her classmates. When she surveys her fellow fourth graders on the first day of school, she finds common interests between students, who might never have thought they had
Sorry to disappoint you folks, but the recipes are hush, hush until Katrinas mother finishes organizing them into a cookbook. All I can say at this point is that the peas are cooked with smoked meat and maybe some scallions and cabbage. This is Katrinas first year to have a plot in the MOM garden. Its been a great experience for her and shes shared extras from her garden with the food pantry. From the looks of her success, it wont be long before Katrina is one of the mentors! Note:The MOM garden is managed by volunteers and supported by several businesses throughout the community as well as the Community Action Coalition, Fiskars and Willy Street Coop. The teaching garden gives customers their own small plot, where they are taught how to grow food. Customers are able to keep produce for their families and donate some to the Food Pantry. In 2012, the garden grew over 5,000 pounds of food. Log on to the MOM website to find a link to NBC 15 coverage of the garden and for interviews with some of the gardeners. anything in common. Her survey uncovers secret crushes, too. First, Emma matches up Leah, an independent girl, and brainy Otto. Badda-boom, badda-bing, a happy friendship is born! She continues matching her classmates, and many are surprised when her seemingly unlikely combinations work out beautifully. But when Emma attempts to match Isla, the most popular girl in the class, things dont go as smoothly as Emma would have hoped. Not only does she have a new enemy, but now that all of her classmates are paired off, Emma is afraid shell be all alone. With an emphasis on creating friendships with a little bit of flirtation thrown in, this innocent chapter book is perfect for young tween readers craving some romance. Adults will enjoy noticing some parallels between Emma Emmets and another very famous literary matchmaker, also named Emma!

U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-02) met with residents of Oakwood Village on Thursday, August 15 to discuss Medicare and Social Security. Pocan took questions from seniors in attendance and constituent services staff also helped with concerns regarding federal agencies. Pocan said he is a staunch advocate for seniors and protecting the programs that provide them with health and economic certainty. As a member of the House Budget Committee, Pocan voted against the GOP budget that many Democrats said would turn Medicare into a voucher program, forcing 873,753 Wisconsin seniors out of traditional Medicare. He is also strongly opposed to a chained CPI formula, which would change how benefits are calculated for Social Security recipients. Earlier this year, Pocan joined more than 100 of his Democratic colleagues in a letter to President Obama urging that he reject any budget proposals that cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

diately after Kenas turned in his resignation. And while the change provided some initial chaos with the season just days away, the transition should be a smooth one, as most of the golfers have played for Halverson before. I was pretty shocked when I got the phone call telling me that I better sit down because (Kenas) had some news, Halverson said. I definitely didnt see this coming. Its unfortunate that (Kenas) has to be done coaching, but I completely understand that this is a great opportunity for him that he cannot pass up. Kenas had a sensational six-year run as Middletons head coach. Kenas led Middleton to three WIAA Division 1 state tournaments, highlighted by the programs firstever state championship in 2009.

Win the day has become the mantra inside Middletons football program since last years disappointing 5-4 season concluded. And the premise is quite simple. Take care of your business each and every day, and everything else will take care of itself. Every practice, every rep we want to outwork everyone else, senior left tackle Hayden Acker said. If we win the day well also win our share of football games. Middleton opens its 2013 season Friday when it hosts Madison Memorial at 7 p.m. And the Cardinals are looking for a bounceback season following a year in which they lost four of their final five games. Middleton finished the year in a fourth place tie in the Big Eight Conference, its lowest finish since Tim Simon took over in 2004. And in the Cardinals four games against playoff teams, they went 1-3 and were outscored by 12.8 points per game. The capper was a 44-9 playoff loss See FOOTBALL, page 18

Middleton surges into Final 4

PRAIRIE DU SAC Eric Simon has played every position for the Middleton Home Talent League amateur baseball team this season. So when starting catcher Kevin Dubler flew to California to attend a wedding and had to miss the teams most important game of the year on Sunday, manager Brandon Hellenbrand didnt hesitate to call on Simon to provide some emergency relief. Middleton didnt miss a beat. Right-hander Drew Farrell tossed a complete-game six-hitter and Simon was flawless behind the plate as Middleton rallied from an early deficit to defeat Sauk Prairie, 5-4, in an HTL Northern Section championship game. From day one he has done anything he could for us, Hellenbrand
said of Simon, who has caught in the Thursday Night League for Middleton. To play every position this year and come into the playoffs and start catching when we need one win to go to the Final Four, you cant put into words how big of a player Eric was today, Simon said he did his best to make sure Middleton (15-4) would advance to the four-team, round-robin tournament for the first time since 2008. The biggest thing is that his bat has been so huge for us lately and we were going to miss that in the lineup, Simon said of Dubler, who normally bats third and ranks among the leagues home run leaders. Im not as good a catcher as Dubler. But I was confident I could work with Drew who has pitched so well lately and handle that end of it. Once Drew started throwing more change-ups, we started working well together. He was tough. Middleton opens Final Four play which includes Stoughton and defending champion Verona - at Monona on Sunday at 1 p.m. We get to play for another three weeks and thats a bonus, See HTL, page 21

Soccer Cardinals expect big things

THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 2013 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE
PAGE 15
Many will expect a dropoff from a year ago. Some will anticipate slippage inside one of the states most dynamic programs. First-year Middleton boys soccer coach Ben Kollasch hears this and simply chuckles. Kollasch, who takes over the program for longtime Cardinals boss Ken Burghy, recently held tryouts to determine this years team. And what Kollasch saw was a record number of athletes trying to play soccer at Middleton. So despite losing 15 seniors from one of the better Cardinals teams in recent years, Kollasch insists Middleton wont be rebuilding. Instead, the Cardinals will simply reload. If anyone expected us to rebuild, I could prove they are mistaken just by showing them the quantity of athletes that choose to play soccer at Middleton, said Kollasch, whose team begins their season Thursday at Mount Horeb. Judging by the players I did not have room for on the varsity roster this year, I would expect Middleton to simply reload for years to come. Theres no doubt Kollaschs first varsity team will be light on varsity experience. But it certainly wont be short on talent. Middleton went 19-3-3 last year and won the Big Eight Conference with a perfect 9-0 record. But the Cardinals were upset by Madison Memorial in the WIAA Division 1 sectional semifinals. The overwhelming majority of that team has graduated, but Kollasch has some gifted pieces to build around. The best of the bunch is senior defender Jack Hagstrom, a two-time all-state performer. Hagstrom finished fourth on the Cardinals in both goals (six) and points (14) last year and is the heart of Middletons defense. (Jack) is the heart of our team in many ways, Kollasch said. Jack always finds ways to have a great per-
formance and I hope he can win another all-state honor and help us toward the state tournament. Middletons top three scorers from a year ago have graduated. But the Cardinals do return senior forward Emerson Kovacs, who had 11 points a year ago. Emerson Kovacs is a dynamic forward with a completely different style than we have played with in recent years, Kollasch said. He is not a target forward but a slashing forward that will make defenses work and is dangerous in any given moment. Kollasch is also expecting big things out of junior midfielder Ivan Khamenka. He is another impact player that did not receive much time last year, but has grown into a physical force that will punish defenses with size, speed and technique, Kollasch said of Khamenka. Junior midfielder/defenseman Jordan Grapentine is another player Kollasch believes will have a huge impact. I expect a complete newcomer, Jordan Grapentine, to not only defend well, but lead counterattacks with

speed and precision, Kollasch said. Senior Will Salmon and sophomore Devin Ott are two midfielders Kollasch is expecting big things from. Senior Devin Vandermause is a returning starter at outside back and could be poised for a huge year. He is still one of the best threats to score from outside back that I have seen in the area, Kollasch said of Vandermause. Senior Colin Masnica and junior Roger Waleffe are two more defensemen Kollasch expects to shine. And senior midfielder/forward Devin Ketelboeter is a three-year varsity player who has consistently produced. Last year's team was built around our blue-chip talent up front, Kollasch said. This year we will build around our veteran backs who all show inclination to attack at any given moment. We are a fast team allaround, though maybe without the top speed burners like we had last year. Middletons biggest question comes in goal, where standout Daniel Geanon has graduated. Kollasch kept three goalies for now Nick Revord, Coin Buelo and Caleb Ostrem because there hasn't
been great separation between the trio. Revord will open the year as the starter, but Kollasch expects Buelo and Ostrem to contend for the job throughout the season. Our goalie situation will be fluid, Kollasch said. The nature of the goalie competition has even forced us to change our training plan for them due to the coach-ability they all demonstrate. They all bring different strengths, Nick's being a physicality and confidence that inspires trust. Watch for changes over the season as they all improve. What Kollasch doesnt expect to change is Middletons success. The Cardinals have been one of the states elite teams for years now. Middleton has reached the state tournament 12 times since 1989, highlighted by a state title in 2004. Kollasch has been along for much
Emerson Kovacs (left) and Middletons boys soccer team begin their season Thursday. of the ride. He helped lead Middleton to the state tournament in both 1993 and 94 and has coached inside the program since 1996. When Burghy retired last season after a brilliant 29-year run, Kollasch was a natural choice to fill his immense shoes. And now, Kollasch and the Cardinals cant wait to write the next chapter of Middleton soccer. This first week has been great for the program and extremely busy for me due to the historic numbers of athletes trying out for our teams, Kollasch said. So far the only adjustments have been of a clerical nature. Most of all I am excited to see that the interest in soccer in Middleton that grew during the Ken Burghy era only continues to grow. Our large numbers of athletes make coaches decisions difficult, but make our program stronger for it.
Editors Note: The following Big Eight Conference preview was published at wissports.net. After several years of co-champions in the Big Eight Conference, there have been back-to-back outright champions. Sun Prairie went a perfect 8-0 last year after Verona ruled the day in 2011. Sun Prairies terrific year continued in the postseason, too, as it reached the state finals last season before losing to Hartland Arrowhead. Verona made it to Level 3 last season before losing to Sun Prairie for a second time. Madison West got a postseason win, while the other Big Eight playoff teams Madison Memorial and Middleton each lost their first game.

Marcus Collins, DB/WR, Madison La Follette: A Pitt commit, Collins was the teams leading receiver last year and a first-team all-conference pick as a defensive back. Ryan Curran, QB, Sun Prairie: A three-year starter, Curran is one of the most poised quarterbacks in the state. An outstanding passer on the run, he threw for 1,655 yards and 18 touchdowns last year. Craig Evans, DL/RB/WR, Sun Prairie: Evans is one of the most highly recruited players in state history, with offers from a Whos Who of college programs.

devastating lead blocker and very capable receiver out of the backfield. Daurice Fountain, WR, Madison Memorial: A second-team all-league pick, he figures to take on an even larger role this year following the graduation of Jester Weah. A state track champ, he is getting D1 offers as well. Mike Garvey, LB, Sun Prairie: Garvey was a first-team all-conference selection for the Cardinals defense. Aubrey Johnson, TE, Madison West: Johnson has outstanding athletic ability, earning first-team all-conference recognition last year. Michael Marchese, WR, Sun Prairie: A very physical and technical wideout, Marchese caught 50 passes for 555 yards and was named firstteam all-conference last year. Terrell McFadden, WR/QB, Madison West: McFadden was a bigplay threat, catching 23 passes for 523 yards (22.7 avg.) and nine touchdowns and received first-team all-conference honors. McFadden could wind up as the teams quarterback in 2013, however. Derek Rongstad, WR, Middleton: Rongstad led the Cardinals in receiving a year ago and received second-team all-conference honors. Adam Stiner, OL, Verona: Stiner has shown outstanding improvement over his career, earning first-team all-

The Cardinals completed an outstanding season in 2012 before falling to Arrowhead in the state title game. There is a hole at running back following the graduation of multi-year 1,000-yard rusher Donte StarlinMerriam, but players return that accounted for nine all-conference selections last season. That number would have been 10, but junior linebacker Malik Bondon, who was beginning to receive Division 1 offers, moved to Illinois. The big name for head coach Brian Kaminski of course is senior defen-

sive tackle Craig Evans, who has given a verbal commitment to Wisconsin, although continues to receive strong interest from schools across the country. Dont be surprised to see his role on offense expanded after rushing for 6 touchdowns in short yardage situations. Quarterback Ryan Curran enters his third year as a starter and is one of the best in the state at his position, with great poise in the pocket and an ability to throw on the move with terrific accuracy. Curran will have firstteam all-conference wide receiver Michael Marchese to throw to. Even without Bondon the defense has plenty of talent coming back. In addition to Evans, returning first-team all-conference selections include linebacker Mike Garvey and defensive back Jeramiah Bradley. The Cardinals have their sights set on another Big See BIG 8, page 17
Eight title and should be in for a deep playoff run as well. The Wildcats saw their streak of seven straight conference titles (three in the Badger, four in the Big Eight) end last season, but shouldnt fall too far under veteran head coach Dave Richardson. Replacing the explosive Dom Wise in the backfield will be difficult, but Verona is a team that continually produces good numbers in the program, which usually leads to competition and success. Travis Murray and Eric Schmidt saw plenty of time in the backfield last year making some big plays, and provide Richardson some solid options to carry the ball. Quarterback John Tackett is also a capable runner and passer. Adam Stiner is a returning firstteam all-conference selection on the offensive line, and is a bona fide Division 1 prospect. The teams only two losses last season were to Sun Prairie, so you can be sure their Week 2 match-up will feature plenty of hype and attention. The Regents took a big step forward as a program in 2013, winning their first playoff game since finishing as the 1986 state runner-up. After a third place finish in the highly-competitive Big Eight, head coach Greg Valasky welcomes back five starters on offense and six on defense. We should be fast both offensively and defensively, he said. I think offensively we could be explosive if our new players on the offensive line are able to step up. Quarterback Alex Brown was a first-team all-conference choice last year, but has graduated. Look for senior Terrell McFadden, a first-team allconference receiver last year, to make the move to the quarterback spot, where his athleticism figures to pose significant challenges for opponents. Hell still have plenty of options to throw it to, including versatile tight end Aubrey Johnson, one of the best athletes in the league. Second-leading receiver Chris Graf also returns. Antonio Hoye and Robert Garel are returning first-team all-conference linebackers on defense, and Johnsons strength and explosion will be used significantly there as well. The Cardinals have qualified for the playoffs 17 years in a row, and figure to be in the hunt to keep that streak going in 2013. There are some significant challenges however. We need to replace 17 starters with inexperience on the offensive and defensive line, 10th-year head coach Tim Simon said. We should have good team speed though. The passing game may be ahead of the running game to start the year, as quarterback Luke Shafer is back along with two outstanding receivers Derek Rongstad and Demond Hill. The kicking game should be a strength as well. The Lancers finished 3-5 last year and just out of the playoffs, a place they havent been since 2007 when they were the Big Eight co-champs. Head coach Mike Harris and crew will be in a battle for a postseason spot this year, and can turn to Marcus Collins one of the states top seniors for leadership and production on both sides of the ball. Collins was the Lancers leading receiver and was a first-team all-conference selection at defensive back. Hes committed to Pitt.

The Spartans lost a pair of the states top athletes in quarterback Joe Ferguson (walk-on at Wisconsin) and Jester Weah (now at Pitt), but have solid players ready to step into those positions this season. Brandon Toman has started several games in the last few years and is ready take over at quarterback. Wide receiver Daurice Fountain has elite speed and could be in line for a breakout season. Running back RaQuan Cunnigan also returns for head coach Mike Galindo. The Cougars were a fixture in the postseason in the 2000s, but havent been back since 2008. Craig hopes to make a playoff push in 2013, but it could be a challenge in the deep Big Eight Conference. Quarterback Tom Gabower returns after splitting time last year.
The Vikings made the playoffs 15 of the last 16 years, but missed out last season after finishing just 2-6 in the conference. Parker will turn to DaiVon Vance-Jenkins, who ran for seven touchdowns and had some big games early in the year. Four other players who earned honorable mention allconference honors also return. The Purple Knights ended their 29game losing streak in Week 5 with a 38-30 win over Madison East, but saw little else go right in 2012. A total of 15 letterwinners and seven starters are back for head coach Jon Dupuis. The Purgolders went winless last season. East was shutout four times and scored a touchdown or less three other times.

to Sussex Hamilton that has had everyone in the program stewing since last October. Last year was not acceptable, Cardinals senior quarterback Luke Schafer said. Thats definitely not good enough at Middleton. Senior linebacker Elliot Tanin agreed. We want to be competing for conference championships, Tanin said. So what happened last year wasnt acceptable at all. We want to get back on top. The Cardinals appear to have many of the necessary ingredients to contend for a league title. Middletons offense which was held to 7.3 points per game in its four losses last year should be far more balanced and explosive. Middleton returns a pair of experienced quarterbacks in seniors Schafer and Kasey Miller. The two split time through the first three games last season, before Schafer eventually pulled away. Miller has improved, though, and Simon expects both to play against Madison Memorial Friday. Of the two, Schafer possesses greater mobility and has improved his arm strength from last season. Miller has the stronger arm of the two and is 20 pounds heavier, but lacks Schafers escapability. Theyll both play some, Simon said. I dont know how it will break down. They could alternate or I could go with whoever gets the hot hand. Well see. Whichever quarterback is throwing the ball will have terrific targets in the passing game. Senior split end Derek Rongstad was a second-team all-conference selection last season, while senior flanker Demond Hill was an honorable-mention all-conference pick. Doc is big and has very good speed, Simon said of Rongstad. And (Demond) has a really good burst off the line and can really spread the field. Senior Derek Rogeberg and junior Mitchell Herl have both impressed early at tight end. And theres solid depth at both wideout and tight end. With so many experienced returning parts in the passing game, the Cardinals are likely to throw the ball more than they have in recent years. I think so, Simon said. I think our passing offense should definitely be a strength. Middletons bread and butter is always a solid running attack, though. And the Cardinals have plenty of capable pieces there again. Senior running back Charles Braxton was buried down the depth chart last year. But Braxton appears poised for a big season. The offensive line is inexperienced, but played extremely well during a four-team scrimmage at Middleton High School last Friday. Acker, who will open at left tackle Friday, was Middletons top reserve a year ago. Senior right tackle Jack Mayers was one of Middletons top backups last year, too, and should be ready for a big season. Junior left guard Nikko Miller, senior center Lon Yeary and junior right guard Derek Ramsey make up the interior of Middletons line. Senior Brennan Maly will be the fullback. I think well have a pretty good running game, Simon said. Charles is obviously quick and agile. He can put his shoulder down and hes fast. And I think our line can develop into a pretty good one. Middletons defense faded down the stretch last year, but the Cardinals are optimistic they can correct much of what ailed them. We should be a better defense, Cardinals veteran defensive coordinator Tom Cabalka said. If we stay

healthy and we realize the importance of our responsibilities, I think we can be pretty good. The whole coaching staff is excited to see these kids compete. No one was satisfied with where we finished last year. The strength of the defense will be a deep and gifted group of linebackers. Tanin is the lone returning defensive starter from a year ago and should be ready for a big senior season. Tanin, who will play the weakside, has put on 15 pounds of muscle in the past year and is excited to take on a greater leadership role. The biggest thing with this defense is communicating, Tanin said. And I want to take more responsibility on my shoulders this year. I cant wait. Hong started in the middle the first two games a year ago, before he suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Hong is back to full health now, though, and ready for a big season. Junior Brian Chapman, who joined
the varsity halfway through his sophomore season, has shined in camp and will start on the strongside. Im pretty excited about our linebackers, Cabalka said. The rest of the unit could be a work in progress. Up front, Maly and Rogeberg will line up at defensive end. And Cabalka believes both players will wreak havoc. Those two should be real solid, Cabalka said. Middletons defense is built around its two defensive tackles, though, and the Cardinals lack experience there. For now, junior Chase Jollie (5-11, 238) will start at nose tackle, while senior Sam Lambert (6-0, 233) will be the other tackle. Id like to think we have solid kids in the middle, Cabalka said. We just dont have experience, so thats our biggest concern. The way we play, we need those two kids up front to occupy blockers from getting to our backers. Middleton is green in back, too, but
has some terrific athletes to work with. Senior Jordan Carey (6-2, 175) has improved his speed since last year and could be a top-flight cornerback. Senior Vance Koch (6-2, 179) has ideal size and will start at the other cornerback position. Cabalka and his staff are extremely high on junior Max Boehnen, who will start at strong safety. And senior Max Oelerich (6-3, 181) is making the switch from wide receiver to free safety, where his size and athleticism make him an extremely intriguing prospect. The thing we have going for us on defense is we have a lot of really good

athletes, Cabalka said. And the seniors came out with an attitude and pretty much said, Its my time. Thats important. Wissports.net picked Middleton to finish fourth in the Big Eight Conference again. But the Cardinals don't mind that prediction one bit. Middleton has had a lot to prove since its disappointing 2012 season ended. Now, the Cardinals want to win the day and eventually triumph on the football field. Were all pretty excited, Acker said. We know people arent picking us real high, but we dont care about that. If we do what were supposed to, I think it can be a really good year.
Yes, it was just a glorified practice. And its true, no one will remember much about it come November. But the fact remains Middletons football team was awfully impressive during a four-team scrimmage at MHS last Friday. Middleton played host to Watertown, Madison Edgewood and Mount Horeb-Barneveld three programs that all reached the postseason a year ago. And the Cardinals were clearly the top dog among the four schools. I was pretty happy, Middleton 10th-year coach Tim Simon said afterwards. I thought we did a lot of good things. Middleton was extremely sharp on offense. Senior quarterbacks Luke Schafer and Kasey Miller rotated with the No. 1 offense and both had terrific success. Middleton opened against Watertown, which is coming off a year it went 9-2. And the Cardinals offense was extremely impressive. Schafer threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to senior wideout Derek Rongstad and a 25-yard TD strike to junior tight end Mitchell Herl. Miller led a pair of scoring drives and capped

one with a short touchdown pass to senior running back Charles Braxton. Braxton had a handful of big runs. And Middletons offensive line led by seniors Hayden Acker and Jack Mayers, and junior Derek Ramsey protected well in the passing game and cleared plenty of room in the run game. Weve got a lot of weapons, Schafer said. I think were ahead of last year, for sure. Our mindset is different. Defensively, Middletons improved team speed was noticeable. The Cardinals were fast to the ball, aggressive all day and tough to move on. It felt great to be back out there and to go full throttle, senior linebacker Elliot Tanin said. Theres little things here and there we have to fix, like everyone does. But it was a pretty good start. Especially considering the quality of competition. Watertown reached Level 3 of the Division 2 playoffs last year and is expected to challenge for the Little Ten Conference title this season. Mount Horeb-Barneveld is coming off the best year in that programs history, a season in which the Vikings

reached the Division 3 state semifinals. And Madison Edgewood went to the Division 3 playoffs, but bowed out in Round 1. Of that gifted quartet, though, Middleton was heads and shoulders above the rest. There were a lot of mistakes, Simon said. But there were just as many good things. So that makes for a fun week. There are plenty of good things to talk about, and still plenty of things to clean up.
Middleton football coach Tim Simon is beginning his 10th season as the Cardinals boss. Ready to roll: Middleton hosts Madison Memorial in its season opener Friday. The game begins at 7 p.m., 30 minutes earlier than most contests. The Spartans went 5-3 during the regular season last year and tied Middleton for fourth place in the Big Eight Conference. Memorial, like Middleton, then lost in the first round of the postseason. Middleton and Memorial didnt play each other last season, due to a quirky schedule in which all schools played just eight games. So there will
be a level of unfamiliarity Friday night. Memorial always has talent, Simon said. So we know that wont be an issue. Blinders on: Many inside Middletons program had ruffled feathers after the Cardinals were picked to finish fourth in the Big Eight by wissports.net. Not Simon. I didnt even know anything about it, Simon said. None of that matters. The only thing that matters is where we are at the end.

Bluebirds to hold tryouts Veterans Night
Menomonee Falls Middletons girls golfers are off to a terrific start. The Cardinals finished second at the star studded, two-day Brookfield Central/Homestead Classic on Monday and Tuesday. Middleton was also third at the Madison Edgewood Invite held at Yahara Hills last Friday. I think we're going to be right in there with the top schools, said Becky Halverson, who recently replaced Jeff Kenas as Middletons head coach. This is going to be a lot of fun. Middleton, which is ranked third in the latest Wisconsin Golf Coaches Association poll, faced some of the states top teams at the BC-H Classic. And the Cardinals more than held their own. Top-ranked Arrowhead won the event with a 627. Middleton was second at 646, while Green Bay Notre Dame (658), Madison Memorial (662) and Madison Edgewood (679) rounded out the top five. Middleton sophomore standout Loren Skibba finished sixth overall with a 152. Skibba shot an openingday 76 at Mee-Kwon Golf Course in Mequon and another 76 on Day 2 at Wanaki Golf Course in Menomonee Falls. Middleton also counted 84s from seniors Sheenagh Cleary and Hunter Schultz during its opening round. Senior Kelly Wassarman and junior Rachel Thornton each carded an 85. During the second round, Skibba shot a 76 and Cleary had a 79. Schultz shot an 80 and Wassarman carded an 82. Middleton was also third at the Madison Edgewood Invite. Arrowhead won that event with a 319, while Green Bay Notre Dame (322), Middleton (325), Madison Edgewood

continued from page 14 Hellenbrand said of Middleton, which is trying to win its first HTL title since 2002, when he was the teams ace pitcher. Darrell Hellenbrand, Brandons father, was the teams manager that year. Randall Simon, Erics father, was an assistant coach on the 2008 squad that advanced to the Final Four. Middletons younger generation was pleased to continue the family tradition. Its pretty exciting stuff, Brandon Hellenbrand said. I was there three times as a player. We won it in 02. You dont realize how hard it is to get back there, especially playing in the north in what I consider the best section of any of them. Simon agreed, adding: It means a lot for us to make it back there. The game was tied, 4-4, in the seventh, when Middleton notched the game-winning run. Josh Hinson led off the frame with a booming double off the right-center field fence. A.J. Redders followed with a run-scoring single to give Middleton a 5-4 edge. Farrell kept Sauk Prairie at bay from there. It was a clutch hit by A.J., Hinson said. You have to be on your horse rounding third. I got a late goahead from (third base coach) Brandon (Hellenrand), but it was nice to see it. I was ready to score so Im glad he sent me. Sauk Prairie shortstop Sam Koenig, who plays collegiately at UW-Milwaukee, didnt waste any time giving the Northern Section Western Division champion Twins a quick lead. Koenig launched a tworun home run over the right-center field fence with two outs in the bottom of the first inning. It was a fastball about four inches off the plate. He went and got it, Farrell said. Brandon Scheidlers lead-off home in the third inning trimmed Middletons deficit to 2-1. But Lucas Koenig, who was on base with a one-out walk when his brother homered in the first, then lined a solo homer over the left field

fence to give Sauk Prairie a 3-1 lead. He did the same thing as his brother with a slider in the lower part of the zone, Farrell said of Lucas Koenig. Farrell, though, settled down and allowed just one run on three hits over the final 6 2/3 innings. He finished with two walks and seven strikeouts. However, Farrell said Scheidlers home run provided the necessary spark to jump-start Middletons offense. We roll as one unit and thats all it took, some energy in the dugout and we went with it, Farrell said. Middleton pulled even in the fifth inning, chasing Sauk Prairie starter Matt Katzman. Scheidler had a oneout single to right, Matt Brabender singled to left and Andrew Zimmerman loaded the bases when he reached on an infield error. Clean-up hitter Josh Hinson then sliced a 0-2 pitch off Katzman that landed fair just inside the right-field foul line to score Scheidler and pull Middleton within 3-2. Right-hander Paul Lenerz replaced Katzman and promptly walked Mike Brabender on five pitches to score Matt Brabender for a 3-3 tie. (Katzman) was in some jams and fell behind. That was our strategy all year. If Katzman gets in trouble, we go to Paul (Lenerz). Hes been a workhorse for us, said Lucas Koenig, who serves as Sauk Prairies player/manager. Paul was league MVP in 2010 as a pitcher. So its been our strategy to make those moves quick. Lenerz then induced Cole Cook to bounce into a 1-2-3 double play to end the inning. But Middleton grabbed a 4-3 lead in the sixth when A.J. Redders singled to right, moved to third on Scott Brabenders double
inside the left-field line, and scored on a throwing error on Matt Brabenders ground ball to third base. Against a team like (Sauk Prairie) any run is going to be important. Youve got to take anything you can get and I was glad to spark it, Matt Brabender said. I just tried to get a bat on the ball and make them make a play. Sauk Prairie (15-4) pulled even in the bottom of the sixth when Chase Suchla drew a one-out walk, moved to second on Dylan Slottys ground ball to second and scored on Steve Pacholkes RBI single to right field. But Redders and Hinson teamed up for the game-winning run in the seventh. Redders was second with 18 appearances as a pitcher during his freshman season at St. Marys (Minn.) University last spring. But he had just one at bat and was pleased to make a key contribution on offense when Middleton needed it the most. I was just trying to keep my weight back, Redders said. Ive had a problem all year lunging. I was trying to hit the ball up the middle. (Shortstop Sam) Koenig was playing up the middle so I pulled it a little bit
Drew Farrell Middleton pitcher
and it got right through that hole. Thank God Josh made it in from second. Farrell squashed Sauk Prairies comeback plans when he retired 10 of the Twins final 11 hitters to earn the victory. Lenerz said it was a different Farrell that faced Sauk Prairie, which knocked him around during a 10-3 victory over Middleton on July 7 at Prairie du Sac. He really looked like he changed his speed a lot and changed his arm angles, said Lenerz, who allowed one earned run on four hits with four walks and four strikeouts in pitching the final 4 2/3 innings. From when we faced him earlier in the year, he completely threw out that game plan. It seemed like (Farrell) had a completely different approach and it worked really well for him. He was very impressive. Farrell said the earlier defeat to the Twins was ample motivation to bounce back and turn things around. Its been a long time coming for us, said Farrell, who began playing for Middleton in 2006. Weve had a good team every year Ive played, but we just couldnt get there. Its a great team we just beat, too. The last time we made it in 2008 I had to go back to school, so I didnt get to be part of it. This is awesome. Lucas Koenig said the Twins appeared to be out of sync on offense
for most of the game. We just had an uncharacteristic game, swing-wise with guys, Koenig said. We werent taking good swings today. (Farrell) threw a nice game and mixed it up. We didnt quite make the adjustments we needed to make late in the game. Meanwhile, Hellenbrand is looking forward to three more weeks of baseball, which seemed unlikely with Dubler out of the lineup. Thats a big hole in our lineup. But defensively, I felt very comfortable with Eric back there, Hellenbrand said. I knew we were going to be fine there but you lose a big bat. Erics a good contact hitter. So it was more the power we were missing than anything. Eric has been around a long time. He knows the game really well. Hes a pitcher, as well, so he knows how to call a game. He sees certain things on hitters. It was important to have him back there mentally and to keep Drew calm after the early home runs.

the states No. 1 team in the first Wisconsin Golf Coaches Association poll. Im really proud of what weve done, Kenas said. It was a terrific run. Kenas has been working towards his principals certification, though, and those close to him knew he might be stepping aside soon. Just not this soon. When a job in the Middleton district recently opened up, though, Kenas couldnt pass it up. I definitely have mixed emotions, Kenas said. I was hoping to coach through this season because I think its going to be a great year. But it was just going to be too much with starting a new position and I totally understand that. But theres no doubt, Im going to miss it. The Cardinals should be in good hands with Halverson. Halverson played at Middleton from 1995-98 and remains one of the top players in school history. Halverson didnt begin playing golf until her freshman year, but took to the game quickly. By Halversons sophomore season, she was the Cardinals No. 1 golfer and earned first-team all-conference honors. Halverson again earned first-team all-conference honors as a junior and led Middleton to its first-ever trip to state, where the Cardinals finished eighth. Middleton qualified for state again and finished eighth in Halversons senior season. That year, Halverson placed 11th individually at state, was a second-team all-state performer, and was named first-team allBig Eight for a third consecutive year. Halverson was a volunteer coach with the Cardinals from 1999-2001,

then was Middletons JV coach from 2002-04. Halverson ran a middle school clinic and returned to a volunteer role from 2005-06. Then she came back as Middletons JV coach in 2007, a position shes had ever since. Today, Halverson is giddy about taking over a program near and dear to her heart. I am absolutely ecstatic about this opportunity to take over the program, she said. I have had some amazing mentors along the way. I learned so much from Dewey Stendahl, Bill Curtin and Jeff Kenas and feel lucky to have the opportunity to continue with what they have built. Those are some big shoes to fill, but I feel that I am ready. Most believe the switch from Kenas to Halverson will be seamless. The two have bounced ideas off each other for years, and are likely to do so all season. I hope that the only noticeable difference is that the coach that is on the course talking to the girls is a female, Halverson said. I feel that both the girls and their parents have a lot of respect for me and this will be a smooth transition. Jeff and I have really considered ourselves as co-head coaches in the past.The decisions that are made are done together.Even though he will no longer be coaching, I am sure I will still bounce some ideas off of him during the season. Halverson knows shes entering a pressure cooker. Not only did Middleton begin the season as the states No. 1 team, it has seven golfers worthy of playing on the five-person varsity team. There will be tough decisions as Halverson fills out a lineup card each
week. And there will be great expectations all year long. But Halverson cant wait. Our goals are going to be set high, she said.We have some amaz-
