Impervious surfaces like pavement
and rooftops prevent rain water from

soaking into the ground. It runs
through the citys drainage system
eventually ending up in streams and
lakes picking up sediments and pollu-
tion on its way. This problem is not
unique to Middleton and federal and
state requirements have been applying
increased pressure on cities to control
the pollution and environmental degra-
dation caused by storm water.
Middletons storm water runoff
problems have been getting set aside
for several years. Historically, funding
has come from the city councils an-
nual budgeting process. Since at least
2006, not one request for funding has
made it in the budget. The problem is
storm water management must com-
pete against more tangible things like
road maintenance or public safety.
Projects or services like these tend to
be a higher priority.
Managing the runoff can be a costly
process that needs continual funding.
Implementing a utility puts a mecha-
nism in place that can provide stable,
continuous funding.
Middletons storm water utility
would cost residents $15 a year. The
$15 covers one Equivalent Runoff
Unit, or ERU. One ERU in the City of
Middleton is defined to be equal to
2,880 square feet, which is the citys
average quantity of impervious area on
a lot with a single family house. All
residential units (single family lots, du-
plex units and triplex units) will be as-
signed one ERU each. A
non-residential lot with ten times the
impervious area of an average single
family house would be assigned ten
ERUs.
Neighboring communities including
Madison, Monona, McFarland, Fitch-
burg, Sun Prairie, DeForest, and
Verona have previously implemented
storm water utilities. The public utility
would be organized as a separate enter-
prise like the Citys water or sewer util-
ity. It would own storm sewers,
detention basins, and equipment used
for managing storm drainage systems.

Middleton Station Apartments held
a groundbreaking on Monday, Sept.
22. The development, supported in
part with Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) provided by the City of Middle-
ton, is adjacent to the Capital Brew-
ery.

room market-rate apartments will ac-
company two levels of underground
parking, a community room, a fitness
center, bicycle storage, shop space, a
pet-washing facility, an activated

nity outdoor lounge, and resident gar-
dens.
Our team at the city is thrilled to
see this development come to fruition
just east of the Capital Brewery, said
city administrator Mike Davis. The
city staffs Tax Increment Finance

announces
$5 million
for DaneCom
Dane County executive Joe
Parisi announced Monday that
one of his top budget priorities
in 2015 is to provide additional
investment into DaneCom, the
heavily criticized Dane County
emergency radio system. Parisi
said he plans to spend approxi-
mately $4.5 million in capital
and $500,000-plus in annual op-
erating and maintenance costs to
significantly expand and
strengthen countywide radio
coverage and in-building pene-
tration.
The proposal would add four
new towers, including one in the
Mount Horeb area.

The Springfield Town Board voted
on Tuesday, Sept. 16 to oppose an up-
date to resource protection corridors in
Dane County.
The item was placed on Spring-
fields agenda per a request from the
county for town input on a zoning up-
date related to hydric soils and chang-
ing from a 100-year floodplain to a
500-year floodplain. Board members
began discussions on this item by
claiming that the county has not pro-
vided the Town of Springfield with any
maps outlining the areas that would be
affected.
My biggest concern, commented
town supervisor Jim Pulvermacher, is
theyre doing this without proper noti-
fication.
Pulvermacher further advised the
board that zoning hydric soils has been
discussed by both the Dane County
Towns Association and Dane County
at various intervals throughout recent
years, and that it was his view that it is
an example of the county attempting to
claim more power from the townships.
To me, its overreaching and Im
just going to leave it at that, continued
Pulvermacher, I think it should come
Middleton Dress Co. co-owners,
Linda Lenzen and Sheryl Batten, take
community service to heart and legs,
arms, and, um, torso. In business since
December of 2012, the pair have en-
gaged in multiple fundraising causes
each year, most pertaining to womens
issues.
Lenzen has decorated bras and do-
nated them for auction to raise money
for breast cancer recovery. Last year,
she said, she spent 60 hours sewing
360 buttons on one bra. It fetched
$450. This year she spent 40 hours
beading sequins on a bra for Bras for a
Cause, to be held at the Marriott Hotel
on October 9. Local males, some wear-
ing the uniform of their professions,
such as firefighters and policemen, will
remove their gear and parade the bras
for purchase, Batten and Lenzen said.
The two women also support Boxers
and Bras, focused on prostate and
breast cancer, a benefit for the UW
Carbone Cancer Center.
When does al this time-consuming
fancywork get done?
I do (bra dcor) when I watch TV
in the evening, Lenzen said.
In addition, the pair are outfitting
local women for runway work to ben-
efit DAIS Domestic Abuse Interven-
tion Services. This years event, to be
held at the Overture Center on October
2, features models ranging in age from
15 to 78, Batten said.
We like to include our customers
and local community people in our
charitable fundraisers, Batten noted.
Middleton High School sophomore
Rebecca Lorfeld will be modeling an
unusual prom dress. The black swan
meets Cinderella, is how Lenzen de-
scribed the gown. The charcoal full
tulle skirt sweeps the floor, with a satin
beaded bodice and asymmetric satin
ribbon trim completing the elegance.
Lorfeld, who is an MHS JV Football
Manager and lacrosse player, eagerly
agreed when Batten asked her to walk
the runway for the fundraiser.
When I was a little girl I loved
dressing up and giving fashion shows
for my friends, Lorfeld explained.
Its a childhood dream.
But more than that, Lorfeld said that
having learned about domestic abuse in
school and from the news, she is re-
ally proud and honored to be taking
part in such a wonderful cause as this.
Shes gonna be a knock-out,
Lenzen crowed. Rebeccas absolutely
gorgeous in it.

Middleton High School sophomore Rebecca Lorfeld will be modeling an unusual prom dress at a Domestic Abuse

The Middleton Town Board has ap-
proved borrowing $600,000 and using
about $300,000 from cash reserves to
finance construction of salt shed and
parking lot now being built south of
town hall.
The borrowing will be structured
over seven years to hold the impact on
property tax bills next to about $4 per
household, said Town Administrator
David Shaw.
Well look for low interest rates at
local banksThere will be minor im-
pacts on the tax levy due to debt serve
[from this project]] over the next seven
years, Shaw said.
The board approved the Finance
Committees recommendation to struc-
ture the loan for interest-only payments
during the first three years and then pay
off the principal in equal annual install-
ments.
The committee also suggested that if
the town would sell the 78-acre East-
wood Farm, proceeds should go to-
ward paying off the salt shed loan.
Site preparation has begun on the
$993,000 project that constructs a
6,400-sqaure-foot shed just west of
Fire Station #2. The building is ex-
pected to accommodate a seasons
worth of road salt, plus store other road
materials, and rent 1,200 square feet to
the Middleton Fire District.
Adjacent to the salt shed will be an
80-stall parking lot to add parking for
youth baseball games at Pioneer Park.
The board also approved construc-
tion of a sixth amphitheater at Pope
Farm Conservancy using funds do-
nated by Christine Williams. In an
email to former Park Commission
member, Mel Pope, Williams wrote
that she wanted a personal memorial
built for Cindy Schultz Munson who
enjoyed the conservancys trails and
view.
The cost of the amphitheater is esti-
mated at about $2,500 and Williams
pledged to cover the cost.
Most of the conservancys am-
phitheaters seat about 12-15 persons
and located to give visitors a place to
rest, take in the view or hear a presen-
tation, said Deputy Clerk Sara Ludtke.
The project is expected to be com-
pleted this fall.
The board continued discussions in
closed session without reaching an
agreement on a new contract with Mid-
dleton Emergency Medical Service.
The current contract has been in ef-
fect for more than 20 years and now
costs the town about $180,000 annu-
ally, said Shaw.
Its first-rate service, Shaw said.
We have no problem with that, but
the town board is looking to make sure
its being fairly charged.
We dont want to subsidize the city
[of Middleton] and we dont want the
city to be subsidizing us, Shaw said.

vided between the city and town of

The Middleton-Cross Plains Area
Board of Education is considering re-
naming Kromrey Middle School, and
is requesting that interested commu-
nity members weigh in.
Please email communications di-
rector Perry Hibner (phibner@mc-
pasd.k12.wi.us) with suggestions for
a new name, or a preference for re-
taining the current Kromrey Middle
School name. Responses will be
shared with the Board at its regular
meeting on Monday, Oct. 13. Cur-
rent Kromrey students and staff,
along with families with children in
the District, are also being surveyed
about their preferences for the
schools name.
The Board has made no formal de-
cision about the schools name. The
school was originally called Parkside
Heights when it opened in 1962 and
the name was changed to Kromrey a
few years later. Edward Kromrey was
a principal and superintendent in the
District for nearly 30 years until his
retirement in 1967. He died in 1997.
The Board intends to make a deci-
sion on a potential name change in
November of this year.
Will school board rename Kromrey Middle School?
Middleton Outreach Ministry
(MOM) is pleased and honored to an-
nounce an extraordinarily generous gift
from Marlene Mack in honor of her
late husband, Ken Mack. Macks gift
will support MOMs vision to prevent
homelessness and end hunger by help-
ing fund MOMs new facility on Par-
menter Street in Middleton.
Ken Mack grew up on a dairy farm
in Roxbury, Wisconsin. He graduated
from Sauk City High School and
earned a Bachelors Degree in Dairy
Science from the University of Wis-
consin. In 1961, he married Marlene
Maier in Waunakee. Ken founded
Mounds Agri-Service on Highway 14
in Middleton and established the first
Mounds Pet Food Warehouse on Madi-
sons east side which has grown into
five stores around central Wisconsin.
MOM was started over 30 years ago
with the mission to serve those in need
within our communities with the most
basic necessities, doing so with respect
and dignity. Today, there are more than
1,200 visits to both the Food Pantry
and Clothing Center each month, with
43% of those served being children.
Besides providing needed food and
clothing, MOM serves over 500 house-
holds every year with housing assis-
tance which prevents individuals and
families that are at risk of becoming
homeless, an issue that is even more
difficult and expensive to resolve.
In March 2013, MOM moved their
office and distribution center to a larger
location at 3502 Parmenter St. in Mid-
dleton, with increased capacity for
fresh produce, food storage, and proper
refrigeration. The Clothing Center
more than quadrupled in size, giving
adequate space for clothing displays
and shopping. Our neighbors who
need help and hope have greater access
to the facility and can receive all the
services MOM provides at one conven-
ient location.
Marlenes gift to MOM continues
the Mack legacy of strengthening their
community by supporting the need for
human services. During his life, Ken
served on various committees and ad-
visory boards. His main focus was
helping those less fortunate with moral
support and financial help, says Mar-
lene. Ken will be remembered for his
kind and gentle nature. His spirit lives
on!
The Mack donation takes us to the
half-way point of MOMs 1.8 million
dollar fundraising effort and helps en-
sure the long term future of MOM in
the community says Al Ripp, MOMs
Executive Director. With the help of
Marlene and others in the community,
MOM will continue to help our neigh-
bors in need, one household at a time!

Building Hope, Strengthening Com-
munities Capital Campaign can be

MOM (Middleton Outreach Min-
istry) is a local non-profit organization
that leads a community-wide effort to
prevent homelessness and end hunger
by providing food, clothing, housing
assistance, emergency financial assis-
tance, seasonal help such as school
supplies, and special services for sen-
iors. MOM hosts one of the largest
food pantries in Dane County that
serves a localized service area and is
one of only a few pantries to adopt a
shop-as-you-need model, effectively
ending hunger for those that they
serve.

Know It All
Socrates said: I know that I know
nothing. It was a claim that famously
made him the wisest man in all of
Greece, because he at least knew one
more thing than everyone else.
My first philosophy professor knew
quite a bit. She was a lean, jagged
woman, with spectacular long hair,
worn like a frizzy cape the color of a
traffic safety cone.
She was, she explained to us, an
anti-feminist. In multiple books with
vaguely bawdy titles, she argued that
modern feminism was based on the
presumption that women are inferior
and must therefore be coddled. One
was called Feminism Under Fire.
Another, called Undressing Femi-
nism, featured a sultry photo of her on
the cover, her white dress being re-
moved by a pair of bodiless male
hands.
She was, I thought, sending some
very mixed messages to feminism. Is
she trying to kill feminism, or seduce
it? I whispered to one of my class-
mates.
We heard rumors she could do one-
handed pushups. That she travelled
mysteriously to the Middle East to con-
sult various government agencies on
the nuances of what is or is not torture.
(Given the draconian nature of her
tests, it seemed safe to assume she was
a pretty enthusiastic proponent of wa-
terboarding.)
To her, scoffing around stupidity
was unavoidable like sneezing near
pollen or crying in close proximity to
onions. It was just something that hap-
pened in a world populated by the dull.
Sometimes she would gather up her
hair, with masochistic aggression that
suggested it had been misbehaving,
and swirl it into some kind of leaning
tower on top of her head, inexplicably
holding it together with something I
could have sworn was a chopstick. As
someone who has trouble using chop-
sticks for their intended purpose, I had
never dared consider branching out and
trying non-conventional applications.
One morning in logic class, she told
us about a recent date. Her suitor had
consumed 10 beers and a few oysters
through the course of the evening.
When he grew ill, he proclaimed to
her: Im never eating oysters again.
I wont be seeing him again, she
barked. Anyone who struggles so
mightily with causation strikes out with
this woman.
She was someone who argued vehe-
mently against the existence of god,
then - just to confuse us, we figured -
married a Catholic guy and mentioned
she might be converting.
She had a habit of asking why
over and over again, until you in-
evitably entered treacherous intellec-
tual territory. That one word, uttered
over and over, has the power to un-
hinge even the brightest student, be-
cause eventually everyones well of
knowledge runs dry.
At the end of every debate with her,
young men and women all said the
same thing: I really have no idea.
She would smirk, pleased that she
had taught us something.
One morning, a student in our logic
class collapsed and lost consciousness.
I was worried about him, but also sus-
pected him of doing it as a desperate,
ultimately successful attempt to get out
of taking that mornings impossible
quiz.
Why, I admonished myself as
medics rolled him away, didnt I think
of that!
We were shaken, but vaguely com-
forted by the fact that there was ab-
solutely no way our professor would
make us finish the pop quiz while we
could still hear sirens.
But we had forgotten, this was
someone who had probably watched
people get electrocuted with a car bat-
tery during interrogations in hot,
sandy rooms.
We at least had air conditioning, she
thought. We were wimps.
Im sure that frightened many of
you, she said magnanimously as the
medics headed down the hallway and
the door to our classroom closed. I
want to be fair, so I wont count that
time against you and you can have
until 10:15 to finish.
Id have a hunch she made a trip to
the hospital after class ended that day,
just to bring that poor guy the test. It
would have been fitting for her to hand
it to him, like a bouquet of flowers,
then sit by the edge of the bed with a
stopwatch. I want to be fair, shed
say. So if you lose consciousness, I
wont count that time against you.
I was also in her classroom on Sep-
tember 11, 2001. While most other
teachers simply gave up on the day, let-
ting the terrorists win, I guess, she sat
us down for a very lively debate about
ethics and religion, foreign policy and
social norms.
This, she explained as we heard
bizarre reports of planes crashing into
buildings, is why we study philoso-
phy. This is why we ask the questions
we ask.
One autumn, I left college for a
week and headed home to Massachu-
setts. My mom dragged me to some
kind of party an assemblage of peo-
ple who frowned upon interesting con-
versation.
I was standing on the outskirts of the
event in order to avoid the usual line of
interrogation from adults: Youre ma-
joring in philosophy? What type of job
will that get you? How much do
philosophers get paid these days?
It wasnt their snark that stung it
was the fact that they were asking me
what amounted to rhetorical questions.
They knew the answers, but they
wanted to hear me say them aloud:
Yes. None. Not much.
While hiding, I stumbled across a
little boy. He was like a toddler, but
slightly less wobbly in stance and ver-
biage.
So, I began. Whats your name?
Gus, he replied.
I asked all the questions adults are
expected to ask when making conver-
sation, doing my best impersonation of
the people who liked to accost me.
Where did he live? Did he go to school
yet? What did his parents do? Was he
enjoying the holidays? Did he know
how hard it was to find a job with a
bachelors degree in philosophy?
He answered most questions with a
shrug, as if I were asking him how to
keep a souffl from deflating or how
many years we had until the sun
burned out.
Im only five, he eventually said.
I dont know much.
Fair enough, I said. You just
might be the smartest person here.
He shrugged again and galloped
away.
Today, when people ask me my
views on politics or parenting, on the
environment or gun laws, I take a page
from my friend, Gus, who was the wis-
est man in Massachusetts one day,
many years ago.
Im only 35, I tell people. I dont
know much.

Bad homeowners can give us all a bad name
The Middleton Times-Tribune has
asked me to write a monthly column,
although the column wont necessarily
appear the same week of each month.
Topics may include entrepreneurialism,
business, politics, the environment, and
sometimes the intersection of a few of
those. Keep in mind that the column
reflects my views and opinions; not
those of the Middleton Times-Tribune.
And yes, we may disagree.
Many people think developers harm
the environment, yet they are happy to
live in the homes and apartments and
work in the offices and shop in the
stores that we develop. Without devel-
opers, wed all be living in caves.
What they dont know is that many
developers contribute to a better living
and working environment for all of us.
In fact, as an example, Ive probably
paid for and caused to be planted more
trees than any environmental non-
profit, any government body, and any
business in the county.
Unfortunately, sometimes people do
cause harm. Usually I find that its the
non-professional, non-developer or
homeowner that does something self-
ish that harms either the environment
or adjacent properties. For example -
the buyer who buys a wooded lot and
then cuts all the trees down. What was
the point of buying a wooded lot?
I can think of another example in
this area, not far from Middleton,
where someone purchased a virtually
new German castle (built only about
ten years ago for a reported $6 million)
that was located high on top of a bluff,
about 75 feet above the water, and then
tore it down this summer to build an
even newer home.
The owners contractor didnt bother
to install silt fence along the adjacent
properties to prevent erosion, in partic-
ular erosion that might harm the bluff.
They also cut down some trees whose
roots are holding the delicate sandstone
bluff together.
Worse, after building a house 75 feet
up from the lake, the owner recently in-
stalled a massive steel or aluminum,
multi-level superstructure to allow
them to hike down to a pier at water
level. This thing is gigantic and sticks
out from the bluff maybe as much as
25 feet or more and is highly visible to
boaters, fisherman, and recreational
users on the lake. Talk about a visual
blight on the landscape, especially in
the winter after the leaves fall and veg-
etation on the bluff is no longer par-
tially camouflaging the impact.
First, I have to ask - is it really going
to be worth hiking down and up 75 feet
for a swim or to use a boat? Second, if
the buyer wanted lake access they
could have bought a house anywhere
on the lake at lake level for the approx-
imate $1.8 million they paid.
Third, if they had bothered to ask
anyone in their neighborhood they
would have learned that storms fre-
quently smash and rip apart piers and
steel landings that were previously in-
stalled on brow of the bluff, because
this particular point takes the brunt of
the storms and waves that come racing
across the lake, which makes it not
worth installing a dock. Worse, the
bluff is made of primarily sandstone
and has been falling down in chunks
for many decades until erosion control
measures were put in place by individ-
ual owners. One primary contributing
factor of bluff erosion has been the in-
stallation of structures like this one; the
old steel beams that were pounded into
the bluff many decades ago have expe-
rienced erosion around them, loosening
sand and causes cracks in the sand-
stone, which then lets in water, which
further erodes the bluff and eventually
causing a chunk to cleave off and fall.
Im a firm believer in property
rights, but does a single homeowner
have the right to damage the face of a
prominent and local natural feature?
Do they have the right to endanger
their neighbors because of their short-
sightedness and lack of willingness to
think the consequences of their ac-
tions?
And where was the DNR on this
one? Or the village plan commission?
How could anyone in good conscience
approve such an incredible scar on the
bluff? Well, let me tell you. According
to the DNR, if the stairway structure
does not impact below the Ordinary
High Water Mark (since it is com-
pletely supported by the bluff), it does
not require a permit and is exempt.
Likewise, the village where this is lo-
cated lacks any regulations in regards
to the same issue.
The sad part is that as this structure
will get beat up by the waves and the
bluff will erode and the structure will
be left to deteriorate and fall apart over
time, because the cost to fix it and
maintain it and the bluff will become
too expensive, and then well all suffer
a continuing visual blight. (The least
the owner could do is paint it tan to
match the color of the sandstone bluff.)
This superstructure should never
have been installed. If a buyer wants
lake access, they should have bought a
home with lake access. If they buy a
house on a bluff, they should expect to
retain and preserve the bluff and they
should not jeopardize the quiet enjoy-
ment of the neighbors or endanger their
properties by their deliberate intrusion
into the natural setting.
Remember, this wasnt an accident.
They had designed and built a massive
structure so as to try to overcome the
natural forces that they and their engi-
neer knew would be acting upon the
structure and the bluff.
To the editor,
Weve lived next to the Pheasant
Branch Conservancy for the past
decade and continue to marvel at the
diverse opportunities it offers. On any
given day, we can hike the trails, join
birding groups, work with other volun-
teers to control invasive species and
collect prairie seed, lead school chil-
dren on a field trip, tend our plot at the
Bock Community Garden or simply sit
and enjoy the beauty, peace, and quiet
from atop Fredericks Hill. We feel
very lucky to have the Conservancy at
our back door.
But we cant take the Conservancy
for granted and neither can you! Walk
the corridor south of Century Avenue
and youll see failing gabions and
riprap, eroding bluffs and scoured
stream banks. Walk a little further and
youll see the breach of the contain-
ment structure at the Confluence Pond.
Try to walk the trail along Deming
Way after a major storm event - youll
need a canoe.
What a waste of efforts of so many
dedicated partners who have worked so
hard and spent thousands of taxpayer
dollars to protect and restore the Pheas-
ant Branch corridor. Middletons
storm water management system is
failing because the City lacks a dedi-
cated funding source to adequately
maintain the dozens of storm sewers,
detention ponds, infiltration basins and
other control devices that require reg-
ular maintenance to remain effective.
The solution is a storm water utility
for Middleton that maintains existing
facilities through a fair funding mech-
anism based on the amount of runoff a
property generates. For an owner of a
single-family home, this would amount
to $15 per year less than the cost of a
meal for two at a Middleton restaurant!
What a small amount to pay to protect
the crown jewel of Middleton the
Pheasant Branch Conservancy - and
to do our part to protect the down-
stream Chain of Lakes.
Please join us on Nov. 4 to vote YES
for the Middleton Storm Water Utility
referendum. Lets protect our invest-
ment for this generation and those to
come!

therefore could not provide any TIF as-
sistance besides a request for assistance
in shoring, a process of propping up
soil to keep it in place.
This needed to get attorneys re-
view because we arent allowed to fund
or provide assistance to newly platted
residential in our TID #5, planning di-
rector Eileen Kelley explained. We
talk about workforce housing, so we
didnt know if it would meet that, but
because it is not a redevelopment, in-
fill, or blight removal it doesnt qual-
ify. We could recommend approval of
$105,000 in shoring expense that
would prevent the pubic road from po-
tentially collapsing in.
If we would have got the sequenc-
ing a little different there wouldnt be
need for this expenditure, pointed out
plan commission member Leif Hub-
bard.
City administrator Mike Davis
wrote in his comments for the last Mid-
dleton Plan Commission meeting that
this is something the city has provide
funds for, yet he thinks it could have
been prevented in previouscases.
The amount requested for shoring
adjacent to Tribeca Drive strikes me as
something that could have been
avoided through the developers Gen-
eral Development Plan and Specific
Implementation Plan approvals. My
initial reading is that the city should not
support that request, Davis wrote to
commission members.
Davis did however make an assis-
tance recommendation.
Up to $233,108 of the proposed en-
ergy/efficiency measures could be as-
sisted, Davis notes. The request for
soils assistance ($60,000) could be
granted upon favorable review by the
City Engineer. Any assistance granted
would be developer-financed with the
Citys pledge of support from TIF. In
total, I recommend that no more than
$293,108 of the proposed assistance
($738,632) be approved in that man-
ner.
We all have the letter from T. Wall
Enterprises describing the request for
assistance being timely, said ald. Hans
Hilbert. I guess the only thing we
could provide TIF assistance for would
be the $105,000.
If thats all we can do thats all we
can do, responded ald. Wexler.
Given the fact that legal counsel
has provided their opinion on approv-
ing only one and not the other request,
I would have been in the position of
recommending the full amount given
the overall effect it will have on the de-
velopment.
The Plan Commission approved a
recommendation to city council to fund
up to $105,000 for shoring costs.
The utility would be responsible for
providing storm water management to
meet public needs and comply with
Federal and State laws. It would also
work to solve current and future
drainage problems, as well as repair,
maintain, and enhance facilities al-
ready constructed.
Municipalities that previously im-
plemented a storm water utility did not
have to ask for voter support in a ref-
erendum. Middleton must do so be-
cause of recent changes in state law.
Wisconsin Act 20, passed in 2013, re-
quires that property taxes must be re-
duced by the amount collected by a
utility, unless voters pass a referendum
allowing that the property tax levy not
be reduced.
District 7 alderman Hans Hilbert has
been a driving force behind imple-
menting the utility. Managing storm
water was a high priority when he was
running for the seat in 2006. He says
he has been working on it so long he is
barely interested anymore.
It has been the same problem since
2006, Hilbert explains. How do we
get these projects funded because we
have to do them?
Hilbert says if the city had just cre-
ated the utility in 2010 when he first
proposed it rather than continue to look
for other budget options they would
not have to do a referendum at this
point.
Walkers administration came up
with this grand idea that they are going
to eliminate cost shifts to utilities, be-
cause certain municipalities could use
that as a way around the levy cap,
Hilbert details. So they shut down
that gap but unfortunately it applied to
even legitimate utilities that were being
developed at that time.
Hilbert says he wishes the city didnt
have to create a utility but he believes
its wishful thinking to count o the
funding needed to come from the citys
capital budget.
It would be so much simpler if by
resolution the council could just say
every year we are going to put
$200,000 aside and it is going to be in
a segregated fund just for that,
Hilbert points out. It just never hap-
pens; a Valley Ridge Road or a Middle-
ton Street will come along and we will
just borrow from there.
The Mayor Kurt Sonnentag has said
he doesnt like the idea of the utility,
although he supports the needed im-
provements and projects. He and other
critics have pointed out the city council
already has the power to fund water
management in its regular budgeting
process. Sonnentag also says he does-
nt like the cost it puts on non-profits
like schools, churches, and community
organizations. The mayor also points
out that, by bringing in revenue from
citizens in the form of a fee rather than
a tax, municipalities can create artifi-
cially low tax levies for public relations
purposes.
Under the utility customers who
generate the larger share of runoff pay
a proportionately larger share of the
cost. This applies to all
structures equally regardless of for-
profit or non-profit status. Hilbert says
with a $15 cap per ERU the cost is still
relatively low.
At least 79 communities in Wiscon-
sin have established a storm water util-
ity. ERU rates across the state range
from $9 to $126, with a state average
rate of $60.00.
Tom Wohlleber, assistant superin-
tendent of business services for the
school district, said administrators are
aware fees might be on the horizon.
Wohlleber said the district set aside
some funding to help soften the blow,
if the city does approve a utility.
Hilbert says he knows some resi-
dents that have been proactive in sup-
porting the referendum, and has seen
little opposition from the business
community. He says most businesses
are aware of the cost and are comfort-
able with a $15 ERU.
People that are from around here
have grown up in this culture where
they do value our water resources and
they understand that it doesnt come
without a cost, Hilbert comments. I
think we are going to see pretty wide
spread support.
Ald. Hilbert says he is confident the
referendum will pass and the utility
will ultimately come to fruition, if not
in this election then maybe the next.
A no vote in my mind just means
we need to educate the public more on
the topic, he contends. But I am very
optimistic that the public is smart
enough to understand this at this
point.
back to the towns, and I dont think I
need the county to do this for me.
A motion that the town oppose the
update on resource protection corridors
be opposed by Springfield was put for-
ward by Pulvermacher, and voting on
the board carried said motion unani-
mously.
Springfield also held a public hear-
ing and voted to convene a special
board meeting that took place on Tues-
day, Sept. 23 so as to allow the town
board to take official action on the pro-
posed Environmental TIF for the
Schneider Road Business Center.
The public hearing was held for both
the town board to ask questions about
the upcoming process to potentially
create the TID, and to allow residents
a chance to ask questions about the
TID as well. Jim Wills, the owner of
the Schneider Rd. Business Center
project was present at the meeting
along with engineer Andrew Bremmer
of MSA who were both available to
help answer questions about the recent
site investigation that was conducted at
the property in July. Discussions on
the results of the investigation indi-
cated that notable levels of Chromium
and Arsenic were detected and ob-
served to be contained within the site,
and that the proposed remediation plan
that had been under review by the
DNR had been approved.
Further discussions indicated that
the total value of the TID could be as
much as $1.3 Million, and that current
estimates are showing there will be suf-
ficient cash-flow through the TID to
pay off any remaining debt service by
as early as 2024. The Springfield
board needs to take action on this item
for it to move forward in any manner
prior to a scheduled meeting of the TID
Joint Review Board meeting which has
a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Sep-
tember 23
rd
, 2014 at 5:30pm.
The Springfield board voted unani-
mously to schedule a special board
meeting to take action on the item at
5:00pm on Tuesday, September 23
rd
,
2014 as the item was not technically
slated for potential action on the night
of Sept. 16.
Additionally, a discussion regarding
the potential creation of a park commit-
tee to assist with planning and usage
for the as-of-yet unnamed Springfield
Town Park. Discussion on the item in-
dicated that the land was once again in
need of mowing before the end of
2014, and that the town was potentially
looking to also advertise the site as
park by putting up a sign.
We should put something up,
commented Supervisor Jim Pulverma-
cher, to notify the people whats com-
ing.
The board indicated they were look-
ing for interested volunteers to assist
with a park committee, and to begin
looking for pricing for potential signs
to notify the public of the lands future
usage.
The board further approved opera-
tors licenses, tabled discussions re-
lated to potential speed limit changes
on Schneider Rd, scheduled meetings
for upcoming budgetary discussions
throughout the month of October, and
paid the towns bills before adjourning
the meeting.
Middleton and a portion of the town of
Springfield. The existing agreement
bases the cost share on each municipal-
itys assessed property evaluation. The
town of Middleton, which has a $1 bil-
lion-plus property tax base and 5,000-
plus population, may be better off if the
cost basis shifted from property value
to population, Shaw said.
It wouldnt be a huge difference
now but going forward wed like to
have something more comfortable as
times change. There doesnt seem to be
an objection from the city with that,
Shaw said.
The board also approved funds to
survey a trail easement between Cari-
bou Rd. and Pheasant Point Woods.

As a cancer advocate, I know how
important these issues are in the fight
against cancer, Bremer said. I let
Representative Mark Pocan and Sena-
tors Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin
know that they have a real opportunity
to improve the health of not only Wis-
consin residents but our entire nation.
By funding the fight against cancer and
supporting these critical proposals, we
could save thousands of lives.
During his meetings with lawmak-
ers, Bremerwho lost his father and
his brother to canceremphasized the
importance of ensuring that lifesaving
colorectal cancer screenings are afford-
able for seniors. Unfortunately, many
Americans avoid this lifesaving
screening because they cant afford the
out-of-pocket costs. The new health
care law waives co-pays for colono-
scopies in the private insurance market,
but Medicare patients can still be
charged when a polyp is found and re-
moved during the procedure. Bremer
and other advocates urged lawmakers
to support legislation that corrects this
problem and eliminates the potential of
surprise bills for many seniors.
Colorectal cancer is the second
most common cause of cancer death in
the United States, but the good news is
we could prevent nearly half of all col-
orectal deaths if everyone received rec-
ommended screenings, said Sara
Sahli, Wisconsin government relations
director for ACS CAN. By ensuring
everyone over age 50 can afford to be
screened, we will save countless lives
from this disease.
Advocates also told lawmakers
about the importance of palliative care,
which addresses the pain, stress and
other side effects that can accompany
a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Pal-
liative care is appropriate for patients
of any age and at any stage of illness to
improve their quality of life and that of
their loved ones. Volunteers asked law-
makers to co-sponsor bipartisan legis-
lation that would make palliative care
readily available to those who need it.
Bremer also voiced concern over the
derailment of federal funding for can-
cer research and prevention programs.
He reminded lawmakers of the critical
importance of the federal investment in
the National Cancer Institute and the
Centers for Disease Control.
As part of this years ACS CAN
Leadership Summit and Lobby Day,
Bremer and other advocates attended
training sessions on communicating
with elected officials, engaging the
media and conducting grassroots activ-
ities in their communities.
Cancer patients know all too well
the devastating impact of cancer, said
Bremer. When I visited Washington,
D.C., I asked our lawmakers to put
aside partisan politics and instead fight
to bring an end to cancer. We cant af-
ford to let promising research go to
waste, and when we have opportunities
as a nation to prevent cancer through
screenings and reduce suffering
through palliative care, we must act.

Seventh annual Gildas Run is Oct. 5 in Middleton
Gildas Run, presented by New-
comb Construction, is a 5K run/2
mile walk and an important
fundraiser for Gildas Club Madison,
a local Cancer Support Community.
It will take place this year on Sunday,
October 5 at 10:30 a.m.
The event kicks off at Ruths Chris
Steak House in Middleton, winding
through the neighborhood hiking and
biking trails before ending at Gildas
Club. When participants reach the
finish, theyll be treated to a party
featuring live music, freshly grilled
Ruths Chris hamburgers and Cul-
vers Frozen Custard Sundaes.
Gildas Club relies on events like
Gildas Run to fund programs and ac-
tivities that are always offered at no
charge to anyone facing any kind of
cancer and their loved ones. Gildas
Club programs are critical to the
men, women and children they serve;
however the value of Gildas Club
programming is best communicated
by members like Heather Mc-
Manamy:
In April of 2013, I was just your
average 33-year-old working mom.
Then, the cancer bomb was
dropped on our family. The day I was
diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer
was the day our old life ended and
our new normal began. Cancer
was something I had never thought
about and certainly never thought
could happen to me, especially at my
age.
Shortly after my diagnosis, people
started mentioning Gildas Club. I
had never heard of Gildas, had no
idea what it was and I wasnt sure if
Gildas Club was right for me. At my
dozens of doctor appointments, I was
See RUN, page 15
Run to help ght cancer will starts at Ruths Chris, ends at Gildas Club
always the youngest one in the wait-
ing room, often by decades.
Then I heard about Gildas Young
Survivors group. So, I gave Gildas a
try.
When I walked through the red
doors for the first time, it was wel-
coming and comfortable. Then I
walked into a room full of people my
age who were in my shoes. Words
cannot express how comforting that
was.
Gildas Club really has been a
game-changer in my cancer journey.
To have people to talk to through all
of the ups and downs I experience is
incredibly helpful. To see people who
are out the other side of treatment
living their lives was also important
because I see that this new normal
can be just as awesome as my old
life.
Recently the bomb dropped again
and this time its stage four. My can-
cer journey continues as I re-start
treatment. But knowing Gildas Club
is here is a great comfort to me and
everyone in my family.
When I was diagnosed, I was sur-
prised by how many people I knew
had lives or knew people whose lives
were affected by cancer, be it a
cousin, grandmother, father or
friend. It also seemed like everyone I
met wanted to help but didnt know
how.
I can tell you that if you want to
help someone who has been affected
by cancer, help Gildas Club. It has
had a very big impact on so many dif-
ferent people in so many different
ways. Its an incredible resource and
I want to help make sure others have
the opportunity to benefit from
Gildas Club like I do.
So, please think about joining us
on October 5th for the walk or to run.
Its going to be a fun day! Or please
consider donating to be there in
spirit. Its a great cause that is very
close to my heart.
Participants can sign up at
www.gildasrun2014.kintera.org -
registration fee is $35/adults,
$25/under 12. To learn more about
Gildas Club go to www.gildasclub-

The Cardinals wrapped up anoth-
er Big Eight Conference dual meet
championship last Tuesday follow-
ing a 7-0 win over Janesville Craig.
Middleton finished the conference
season 9-0 in dual meets and went a
remarkable 61-2 in those matches.
Im glad we were able to win
conference again, Middleton senior
Emily Oberwetter said. At the
beginning of the season there was
some uncertainty on how we would
match up with some of the other
teams since we had so many players
graduate last year.
But after our first couple of
matches it became fairly clear that
we would still be able to come out on
top of our conference. I think it was
especially a great experience for the
new members on the team to be a
part of a team this strong.
Kaisey Skibba, Middletons No. 1
singles player, agreed.
Everyone felt great about win-
ning conference, especially the
newer varsity players, Skibba said.
Middleton lost four seniors from
last years WIAA Division 1 state
championship team. And many won-
dered if the Cardinals could stay atop
the Big Eight.
But Middletons program has ter-
rific depth. And most of the
Cardinals top players hit year round,
which puts them ahead of many of
their peers.
In the Cardinals win over
Janesville Craig, Skibba rolled at
No. 1 singles and Amanda Huff won
at No. 2 singles. Liddy Whritenour
and Emily Bruhn also posted wins at
No. 3 and 4 singles, respectively.
Allison Ragsdale and Oberwetter
rolled at No. 1 doubles. Baylie Gold
and Lauren Coons cruised at No. 2
doubles, while Megan Peyton and
Jessica Wang won at No. 3 doubles.
It was great to win conference,
said Middleton junior Abbey
Webber, who normally plays No. 1
doubles. Everyone on our team was
super excited, especially the newer
players.
Going undefeated and only drop-
ping two matches against all the
teams was great, and not every team
Middletons boys and girls cross
country teams have been models of
consistency for years now.
Theyve been dominant forces in
the Big Eight Conference. Theyve
shined in the postseason and been sta-
ples at the state meet.
But the 2014 Cardinals might be
poised for their greatest levels of suc-
cess in quite some time. Last
Saturdays star-studded Midwest
Invitational seems to be proof of that.
In the premier cross country event
of the year, both of Middletons teams
put on a show.
The Cardinals girls were second
out of 30 teams, while Middletons
boys were third out 37 teams. As good
as Middletons programs have been,
neither gender had cracked the top-
three at this event since at least 2008.
Finishing second and third at this
meet is a huge deal, Middleton co-
coach Isaac Mezera said.
Thats for sure.
Middletons girls finished fourth at
state the last two years, but hadnt
been higher than fourth at the Midwest
Invite in that time. But the Cardinals
changed that this year.
Dodgeville-Mineral Point won the
meet with 125 points, while the
Cardinals were a close second at 132.
Madison West was third (133), while
Wisconsin Lutheran (159) and
Arrowhead (186) rounded out the top
five.

MADISON Friday couldnt
arrive soon enough.
Thats how each and every member
of Middletons football team felt last
week.
The Cardinals were coming off
their first loss of the season, a hum-
bling setback in Sun Prairie on Sept.
19. And Middleton couldnt wait to
make amends.
We had such enthusiasm from
Monday on, Cardinals quarterback
Kellan Schulz said. Everyone could-
nt wait to get back out there and get
things turned around.
Middleton did exactly that. And
Madison Memorial paid the price.
The Cardinals rebounded in a big
way, rolling past the host Spartans, 30-
8, at Mansfield Stadium.
Middleton improved to 5-1 and
now sits in a three-way tie atop the
conference with Madison La Follette
and Janesville Craig. Memorial fell to
2-4 and had its Homecoming game
spoiled.
Middleton also clinched a playoff
spot for the 19th straight season,
which is currently the longest such
streak in Division 1. Hartland
Arrowhead (3-3) can also qualify for a
19th straight season with a strong fin-
ish.

E m i l y
Oberwetter and
Middletons girls
tennis team
clinched the Big
Eight Conference
dual meet title
last Tuesday.
There is going to be pain each and
every round.
This much Loren Skibba knows.
But when theres gain, the dis-
comfort can quickly be forgotten.
And last Wednesday was certainly
one of those days for Skibba,
Middletons brilliant junior golfer.
Skibba had a day to remember at
the Big Eight Conference meet held
at Evansville Golf Club. Skibba, who
has battled back pain all season, shot
a 3-over-par 75 and won the individ-
ual championship.
Skibbas big day helped
Middleton finish second to Verona
for the team title. The Wildcats shot
a 322, while the Cardinals fired a
331 and Janesville Parker was a dis-
tant third at 364.
I couldnt be happier for Loren
winning the individual title,
Middleton coach Becky Halverson
said. She has worked so hard and
her confidence has come a long way.
This win definitely helps build
her confidence just a little more and
shows her that she can compete with
anyone in the state. She had a smile
on her face the entire day and was
really relaxed out there. It was great
to see that.
Its been a tricky season for
Skibba, who finished fifth individu-
ally at state last year.
Skibba has sat out some meets to
try and give her back the rest it
needs. But Skibba has also found out
that taking time off hasnt been a
foolproof solution either.
Its been the same all season,
Skibba said of her back pain. I just
have learned to tolerate it more
because I didnt want to miss any
more of the season.
Skibba certainly wasnt going to
miss the conference meet. And she
made it a memorable one.
Skibbas 75 was two shots better
than two-time defending state cham-
pion Jessica Reinecke of Verona.
I mean I feel great, Skibba said.
I went into the day calm because
everyone moves on from conference
so there was no pressure there.
Middleton senior Rachel
Thornton had a day to remember,
too. Thornton celebrated her 17th
birthday by shooting a personal-best
80.
I am so happy for her and how
she played, Halverson said of
Thornton. That is great for her con-
fidence as well.
Middleton sophomores Alexis
Thomas and Lindsay Callahan both
added 88s. The Cardinals also lost
No. 4 golfer Morgan Narowetz after
seven holes due to severe stomach
pains.
Verona, meanwhile, had a record-
setting round. The Wildcats 322
team score established a new confer-
ence record, breaking Middletons
2013 mark by one shot.
Hats off to Verona for an awe-
some day, Halverson said. They
played awesome.
We just didnt have what it
took. Obviously we all wished we
could have been the conference
champs, but when all the scores were
added up, that just wasnt the case.
Second wasnt our goal, but
thats OK. There are more goals
ahead of us. We will regroup and
focus on getting ready for regionals.
Middleton figures to have plenty
of chances from here to go head-to-
head with Verona.
The Cardinals and Wildcats
squared off at the WIAA Division 1
Madison West Regional Wednesday
at Odana Hills. If both advance there,
as expected, theyll collide at the
Middleton Sectional on Oct. 7 at
Pleasant View Golf Course.
The state tournament is Oct. 13-
14 at University Ridge. And with
Verona ranked No. 2 in the latest
Wisconsin Golf Coaches Association
poll and Middleton sitting at No. 3,
the next few weeks should be
thrilling.
I think its fun having competi-
tion in your regional and sectional
because it makes you want to work
harder and have a goal to beat some-
thing, Skibba said of Middletons
rivalry with Verona. I mean weve
gone back and forth all season. We
will see how it all works out at the
end.
Halverson said facing Verona so
many times this year has toughened
her Cardinals for the stretch run.
Its a good rivalry that we have,
Halverson said. Its nice to have
some good competition in our con-
ference.
They are a really good team and
I think its great that we are right
there with them. We definitely dont
like getting beat by them, but it gives
us the drive to work a little harder for
the next time we see them.

Ben Kollasch will head to the post-
season soccer meeting on Monday.
And Middletons boys soccer coach
will do so amid far more uncertainty
than existed two short weeks ago.
Kollaschs Cardinals fell to
Madison West, 2-1, last Tuesday. The
loss dropped the Cardinals into a third
place tie in the Big Eight Conference.
Middleton, which had climbed as
high as No. 2 in the Wisconsin Soccer
Coaches Association poll, is now 0-3-
1 in its last four games. And the
Cardinals postseason seed is likely to
be much lower than many predicted
two weeks ago.
We have had a slump here in the
last two weeks or so, but the guys are
refocusing and healing up nagging
injuries, said Kollasch, whose team is
9-3-2 overall. We are a team that can
play with any in the state, so no one
should count us out of the postseason.
The Cardinals will always be a
threat. But Middleton certainly must
play better in the weeks ahead if it
hopes to advance through arguably the
states toughest sectional.
The sectional includes Madison
West and Madison Memorial, who are
currently ranked No. 2 and 3 in the
state, respectively. Other powers like
Beloit Memorial and Kettle Moraine
are part of the sectional, too.
Middleton showed it can play
against anyone in its loss to Madison
West. But the Cardinals simply could-
nt finish.
Middleton took a 1-0 lead in the
fourth minute when Bradan Allen
scored on an assist from Ty Ballweg.
But the Regents scored in the 49th and
64th minutes and prevailed.
The loss to West was disappoint-
ing, but not as much as some other
losses, Kollasch said. West is a qual-
ity team that plays hard and we knew
to expect a tough game.
The losses we create through our
own mistakes are much tougher to
stomach, but this game against West
had both teams playing well. We never
quite mustered the tying goal we need-
ed even though we created a few
chances toward the end. When you
play well and still lose you can chalk it
up to experience and work on how to
win when we see them in the playoffs.
West may be the team to beat from this
area.
Time will tell on exactly who the
team to beat is. For now, the Big Eight
Conference is a jumbled mess.
At the start of the week, Madison
Memorial and Beloit Memorial were
tied for first place with 17 points,
although the Purple Knights had
played one more game.
Middleton, Verona and Madison
West were all tied for third place with
15 points.
Middleton hosted Beloit Tuesday,
then was at Sauk Prairie Wednesday.
The Cardinals then wrap up the regular
season next week, hosting Janesville
Craig on Oct. 7 at 6:30 p.m. and trav-
eling to Brookfield East on Oct. 10 at
4:30 p.m.
In terms of the Big Eight
Conference, this is a year of surprises
and parity, Kollasch said. Whereas
in many previous years the winner has
run the table, every team has multiple
blemishes already with a few left to
play. Our game with Beloit Memorial
will likely determine if we tie for sec-
ond with West or tie for fourth.

Middletons Mantae Urban (15) tries a circus shot during a recent game. The Cardinals are 0-3-1 in their last four contests.
Green and growing.
Young and improving.
Thats the story for Middletons
girls swimming team this fall. And
the talented Cardinals took a big step
in the right direction last Tuesday.
Middleton overcame fatigue from
a busy schedule and edged upstart
Madison Memorial, 86-84.
Id say this was our best earned
win of the season, Middleton coach
Lauren Cabalka said. All factors
considered, the girls fought hard for
this win and I am extremely proud of
the way they finished this five-day
stretch.
I think this meet reaffirmed that
we are not a team to be overlooked in
the Big Eight Conference. This is
proving to be one of the tightest
races to the end and we are very
excited to be a part of it.
In a five day stretch, Middleton
had a pair of conference dual meets
and competed in the ultra-competi-
tive Waukesha South Invite. But the
Cardinals had just enough left in
their collective tank to edge the
Spartans.
Middletons trio of Samantha
Roll, Caroline Hippen and Paige
Prestigiacomo went 1-2-3 in the 200
yard freestyle. Lin also won the 100
yard butterfly and Chiara Pierobon-
Mays was third.
Prestigiacomo won the 100 yard
freestyle and Roll was third. Hippen
won the 500 yard freestyle and Elise
Hokanson was third. And Emma
Karbusicky won the 100 yard breast-
stroke.
Karbusicky and Margaret McGill
were second and third, respectively,
in the 200 yard IM. Lin was second
in the 100 yard backstroke and
Pierobon-Mays was third in the 50
yard freestyle.
Middletons 200-yard medley
relay team of Lin, Karbusicky,
Pierobon-Mays and Hippen was first.
The Cardinals quartet of Roll, Lin,
Pierobon-Mays and Prestigiacomo
was second in the 200 yard freestyle.
And Middletons foursome of Roll,
Hippen, Lauren Kalvin and
Prestigiacomo was also second.
That made for a thrilling meet, in
which the Cardinals narrowly
escaped.
The girls had three meets in five
days and they were definitely feeling
the pressure of this meet as exhaus-
tion was setting in, Cabalka
said. This is by far the best
Memorial team we have seen in the
last five years and we knew we
would have to forget about how tired
we were and pull it together for some
fast swims.
It was close race after close race
some in our favor, some in
theirs. In the end, the girls did what
they needed to do to come out with a
win.
On deck: The Cardinals are at
Madison West Friday at 5 p.m., then

They have climbed to No. 9 in the
latest Wisconsin Boys Volleyball
Coaches poll. Their start has both
surprised and impressed.
But if you think Ben White is
going to let his Middleton boys vol-
leyball team rest on its laurels, you
dont know White.
The Cardinals defeated Madison
Memorial, 25-17, 25-22, 25-17, last
Tuesday. But afterwards, White was
far from happy.
We hoped we could build on our
(second place) performance at
Wauwatosa East (Invite) and play
like one of the top 10 teams in state,
White said, referring to Middletons
recent finish at the star-studded invi-
tational. Instead we looked like a
team that was going through the
motions and played a very sloppy
match against an athletic Madison
Memorial squad. Its way too early
in the volleyball season for us to
become complacent and I think we
did that against Memorial.
The Spartans are now coached by
Steve Collins, who has also built
Memorials boys basketball program
into a state power. In time, many
believe Collins will grow the volley-
ball program into a force, as well.
But Memorial isnt there yet. And
even though Middleton wasnt at its
best, it was good enough to knock off
the Spartans.
James Caldwell was his typical,
brilliant self with 17 kills. Jordan
Futch added seven kills, while Derek
Kalvin had 17 assists.
Mathew Caamal had 10 assists
and two aces, Thomas Robson had
nine digs and Blake Sprecher had
three blocks.
I think too many guys on the
squad know that James can take over
a match and hell lead us to victory,
White said. And against Memorial
he did just that.
But at some point a really good
team is going to find James and shut
him down. We need to figure out
who would be the player to step-up
and how we can capitalize on our
strengths.
While Caldwell was once again
Middletons show-stopper, White
was pleased with some of the contri-
butions from the Cardinals role
players.
What I was happy about was the
play of some of our role players who
are stepping up and earning their
time on the court, White said. I
dont want the players who earn time
to get on the court because others
have struggled. I want the six players
on the court to be the players who
have earned it based on their play.
Two such players are junior out-
side hitter Kevin McMahon and jun-
ior setter Caamal.
Kevin McMahon continues to
develop his all-around game and is
making it really difficult to keep him
off the court, White said. He has
great instincts on the court and a long
reach, which helps when he is play-
ing middle back on defense.He also
has a great snap for a swing.We just
have to get him consistent with his
approach.
Another player stepping up is
Mathew Caamal. I gave him an
opportunity for a little bit at Tosa
East and again against Memorial. I
really like his decision making and
his delivery of the ball.He is consis-
tent. I would like to see what he can
do against some of the better teams
in state and I think he has earned that
chance.
On deck: The Cardinals were at
Fort Atkinson Tuesday, then host the
Middleton Invitational Saturday
beginning at 9 a.m.

Middletons girls JV golf team won the Big Eight Conference tournament last Wednesday. From left are coach Dustin Lehman, Maddie
Richards, Allison Richards, Morgan Miles, Emily Jensen and Kaileigh Johnson.
This was huge, said senior line-
backer Brian Chapman. We needed
to get our confidence back after Sun
Prairie. It was definitely gut check
time.
And Middleton certainly delivered.
Schulz was brilliant, throwing for
two touchdowns and 178 yards in the
first half alone, as Middleton raced to
a 20-0 lead at the break.
Junior running back Cam Maly had
113 of his 167 rushing yards in the
second half when the Cardinals con-
trolled the ball and the clock.
And Middletons sensational
defense held Memorials high-pow-
ered offense scoreless until the final 2
minutes, when the Cardinals had
pulled all of their starters.
Middleton also forced four
turnovers, as Nick Maes, Alex Wood
and Max Boehnen all intercepted
passes and Peyton Brunker recovered
a fumble.
I thought we had a really good
week of practice, especially
Wednesday and Thursday, Middleton
coach Tim Simon said. We were
sharp and ready to go.
I thought the coaching staff and
the players really responded well,
especially after we got on the practice
field Monday. It was a really good
effort by our guys after a tough loss.
It didnt take Middleton long to
show that this week would be differ-
ent.
Senior tight end Mitchell Herl
made two eye-popping catches in the
first nine minutes, including a stun-
ning one-handed grab worthy of a spot
in SportsCenters Top Plays.
Chapman came on a delayed blitz
on Memorials first possession and
buried Spartans quarterback Emmett
Enright for a 6-yard loss. And later,
Middleton safety Joe Ludwig drilled
Enright near the sideline, and sent the
Memorial quarterback flying into a
nearby kicking net.
I thought our kids were ready to
go right away, Middleton defensive
coordinator Tom Cabalka said. I
liked our intensity and focus through-
out the game.
The Cardinals were focused from
the opening snap.
Middleton drove 89 yards in 11
plays on its opening drive and took a
7-0 lead when Schulz hit Travis
Zander for a 27-yard touchdown.
Zander ran a simple drag route, and
when Middletons offensive line held
up its end of the bargain, Schulz had
plenty of time to deliver the scoring
strike.
Herl caught two passes for 40 yards
on the drive and Schulz completed 5-
of-6 passes for 70 yards.
Thats what our offense is capable
of when we get time and the receivers
are running good routes, Schulz said.
The first drive really wasnt as hard
as youd think it was. It was just toss-
ing the ball around.
The Cardinals made it 10-0 when
Declan Whinnery drilled a 33-yard
field goal with 1:54 left in the first
quarter. The highlight of the drive
came when Herl made a brilliant one-
handed catch for 28 yards on a third-
and-11.
Unbelievable catch, Simon said.
And he did it on third and long to
keep a drive alive. That was really
big.
Middleton strung together a 14-
play, 82-yard drive that ate up 6
minutes of the second quarter.
Whinnery capped the march with a
29-yard field goal that gave the
Cardinals a 13-0 lead.
On Memorials next possession,
Ryan Murphy fumbled and Brunker
recovered on the Spartans 29-yard
line. On the next play, Schulz threw a
jump ball to the right corner of the
endzone that Mitchell Bacon took
away from a Memorial cornerback for
a 29-yard TD and a 20-0 Cardinals
lead with 3:21 left in the second quar-
ter.
I came in the huddle and I said,
One play. Were one and done right
now, Schulz said. I know Mitch
Bacon can really jump and he did it
there.
Middleton drove 75 yards on its
first possession of the second half, and
Schulz capped the march with a 2-
yard TD run to make it 27-0. Maly
carried four times for 49 yards on the
drive, highlighted by a 34-yard burst.
Whinnery later gave the Cardinals
a 30-0 lead with a 23-yard field goal
midway through the fourth quarter.
Memorial, meanwhile, strung
together a handful of solid drives. But
every time Middleton needed a stop, it
got one.
I think a key is we were able to get
them in some down and distance situ-
ations that we liked, Cabalka said.
That was really a key for us.
Added Chapman: It was all about
bouncing back this week. We wanted
to take away their weapons and their
athletes and I think we did a good job
of that.
Middleton also did a much better
job of keeping Schulz clean, which
allowed the offense to function at a
much-higher level.
Middleton reshuffled its offensive
line after that unit was thoroughly out-
played in Sun Prairie. On Friday, the
Cardinals unit featured (from left)
Kajuan Redus, Austin Collins,
William Braxton, Sean Benedict and
Derek Ramsey.
Middletons plan was to put its beef
to the middle, where the interior line-
men averaged 265 pounds per man.
The Cardinals then moved their quick-
er, more athletic linemen to tackle.
The plan worked like a charm, as
Schulz wasnt sacked after being
dropped eight times in Sun Prairie.
We put them in a better position
where we think they can succeed,
Simon said of his offensive line. Im
glad it worked out for us.
Things worked out swimmingly for
the Cardinals in every facet. And now
Middleton believes its back on track
entering the homestretch of its season.
We played well and the kids
responded, said Simon, whose team
next faces Madison West Thursday at
Mansfield at 7 p.m. Were very
happy with how we played, but we all
know that Madison West is very good.
So were turning the page quickly.

n
Travis Zander (4) and Middletons football team rolled past Madison Memorial, 30-8, last Friday.
the upcoming big meets such as
conference and sectionals, Middleton
co-coach Cindy Bremser said. This
meet has always been a measuring
stick for our season.
If thats the case, good things are
on the horizon.
Middletons Bobbi Patrick finished
11th overall in 19:41, while Rachel
Wians was 15th (19:53). Sam
Valentine was 16th (19:56), Kallie
Stafford was 32nd (20:32) and
Jennifer Phillips was 58th (21:08).
Our top girls got out fast which
allowed them to avoid the large group-
ings of other runners, Bremser said.
I feel this was a very successful out-
ing filled with valuable experience.
Right now I feel all the girls are
measuring up. They work so hard,
support each other and have a conta-
gious positive attitude. Those three
things will continue to see our team
improve.
Jenny Mangas also won the JV race
(20:38) with a time that would have
allowed the Cardinals to win the varsi-
ty title had she been up a level.
She has been working very hard in
practice and finally is running the
times she has been working toward,
Bremser said of Mangas. Her time
would have made a difference in the
outcome of the varsity race.
Middletons boys also had a mem-
orable day.
The Cardinals were 11th at this
event last year, and still qualified for
state. This time, Middleton had
impressive performances up and down
the lineup and was third overall.
Madison La Follette won the boys
title with just 41 points, while
Arrowhead was second at 126.
Middleton was third (145), while
MacArthur, Tx., (206) and Darlington
(246) rounded out the top five.
If we consider this meet a measur-
ing stick for the season, then our boys
are in a great place, Mezera said.
Gus Newcomb had a sensational
performance, finishing fourth overall
in 16:22.
Gus got out hard, just under five
minutes for his first mile, Mezera
said. He needs to work on his second
mile, but he is in a great place at this
point in the season.
Zach Shoemaker-Allen was
Middletons second-best finisher and
was 25th overall (16:53). Amazingly,
it was just the second race of
Shoemaker-Allens career.
Our whole cross country family is
glad Zach made the switch from foot-
ball this fall, Mezera said. Hes not
only an extremely talented runner,
hes a great teammate and motivator.
Jack Rader was 27th (16:54),
Hayden Johnston was 41st (17:12)
and Christian Lindblom was 48th
(17:14).
Third at Midwest was a great
accomplishment and a great statement
to the state, Mezera said. The way
our guys are training, Cindy and I
know the best is yet to come.

can do that. It was great having
another great season. I think it really
shows the depth we have in our pro-
gram.
Things will certainly intensify,
though, in the upcoming weeks.
Middleton was at the Big Eight
Conference meet Tuesday and
Wednesday at Nielsen Tennis
Stadium.
The Madison Memorial
Subsectional is Oct. 6 at Nielsen
Tennis Stadium beginning at 9 a.m.
Then the Waunakee Sectional is Oct.
9 at 11 a.m. at Nielsen.
The postseason is going to be
considerably tougher, Oberwetter
said. I have complete confidence
that we are capable of making anoth-
er run at state this year.
Our biggest challenge in getting
there is facing Waunakee in our sec-
tional. However, I truly believe that
we can make it to state again this
year.
Webber agreed.
As for the postseason, our main
goal is to win sectionals, subsection-
als, and make our way back to team
state again, Webber said. I think
we can make it back to state again
this year, but we would have to
defeat Waunakee, another great team
this year.
As the Cardinals continue to
show, though, theyre pretty terrific
too.
Winning the Big Eight was simply
the latest example.
