The Middleton City Council

has approved a conceptual developer financed tax increment
financing (TIF) agreement for
$1,311,738 for a warehouse
and headquarters for Laser Express and a final TIF agreement for $653,562 in
assistance for a 16-unit apartment building on Parmenter
Street.
Laser Express is a provider
of equipment, parts, accessories, and supplies to resellers, distributors, and

service organizations in the
imaging industry. They specialize in laser printers and
laser printer parts remanufacturing and distribution.
Laser Express wants to
move their Madison operation
to Middleton. They also have
operations in Waunakee and
Plano, Texas. The company
employs 49 people in Madison
with annual wages totaling
$2.3 million and says the Mid-
dleton location would have 47

employees and plans to expand.
The new Laser Express site
would include one 16,560- and
two 60,000-square-foot buildings built in three phases. The
first two phases would be the
60,000 square foot warehouse
buildings and the third phases
would be the 16,560 square
foot office building with underground parking.

Times-Tribune photo by Matt Geiger
Feeding America has partnered with Copps grocery store in Middleton and the Middleton
Police Department to host a local food drive with all donations going to the Middleton Outreach Ministry (MOM) Food Pantry. The event will kick off onJune 4and endJune 11at
Copps Middleton. OnJune 11 at 2 p.m.donations will be stuffed into police vehicles and
the MOM Food Rescue Truck and transported to MOM at 3502 Parmenter St. in Middleton.
McGruff the Crime Dog is expected to attend the June 11 event.
The Stuff the Squad idea originated in Milwaukee and we are so happy to bring it to
our area, said officer Kim Wood, of the Middleton Police Department. For us, Stuff the
Squad is more than just donated food - we hope to build relationships within our community,
make those we already have even stronger, and be able to give back to those who need our
help. Our goal is to stuff the squad and receive donations equal to the weight of a police SUV,
which is approximately 4,000 pounds! We are looking forward to the opportunity to team
up with Copps Food Center of Middleton and MOM and look forward to many more events
in the future.
Copps is located at 6800 Century Ave, Middleton, WI 53562. The store will provide free
coffee and donuts onJune 11from11-2 p.m. Those who attend will have the opportunity to
meet local law enforcement officers, buy a $5 or $10 prepared grocery bag or customize your
own from our Top 10 List atmomhelps.org.
Items that are most needed at the food pantry include: Rice or pasta, Cake or Brownie
Mixes, Cooking Oil, Size five and size six diapers, spices, nuts, Laundry Detergent, Canned

In celebration of National
Bike to Work Month, Elm Lawn
Elementary held its second annual Bike to School Day and
After School Bike Rodeo on
May 18.
Approximately one third of
Elm Lawn students, many with
family members along for the
ride, pedaled their way to
school that morning, filling the
schools four bicycle racks past
capacity. It was a cheerful collection as many discovered the
energizing effects of their morning bicycle commute.
Mother nature was in full
support and provided perfect
temps and bountiful sunshine
later that afternoon for the Elm
Lawn PTO sponsored After
School Bike Rodeo.
Attendance numbered in the
area of 125 students for the two
hour bike rodeo event. Students
and their families participated in
activities that helped them learn
more about the specific needs of
young cyclists and the skills
they need to be safer while out

on their bikes. Zac Barns, an
ambassador with the Wisconsin
Bicycle Federation, was one of
many volunteers on hand to
help instruct students and speak
with parents/guardians about
the Share and Be Aware program, a statewide campaign to
make walking and biking safer
by educating all road users.
Students also had their bike
gear checked over for proper fit
and condition. The helmet
check station was run by volunteers from our very own Middleton Fire District who
carefully inspected and adjusted
the fit many helmets. Volunteer
bicycle mechanics from DreamBikes were also on site to check
over students bikes and make
any necessary adjustments as
needed. DreamBikes is a local
Madison bicycle shop and nonprofit organization that works
with local youth organizations
and employs teens from the area
to work in their store. DreamBikes accepts donated bikes of
any make, size and condition,
that are then refurbished by
their employees and sold in
their stores. Find out more

about their mission at dreambikes.org, or visit their bike
shop at 4245 W. Beltline Highway, Madison.
To top off the event, Culvers
of Middleton stopped by with
their friend Scoopie for a visit
with students and their families.
As an event sponsor, Culvers
of Middleton provided funding
and in-kind items for the raffle
held at the end of the bike
rodeo. Middleton Cycle also
donated items for the raffle with
the bicycle bells being the raffle
item of choice among the students. Much needed helmet donations were provided by the
Kohls Safety Center located at
the UW Childrens Hospital.
Thank you to all our sponsors
and bike rodeo volunteers. Especially the the Elm Lawn
school staff, parent helpers and

Public health officials: Zika virus confirmed in Dane County
Public Health Madison and

Dane County (PHMDC) has received notification that a Zika
virus infection has been confirmed in a woman residing in
Dane County.
The patient, who is not pregnant, acquired the infection
while traveling in Colombia
where Zika infected mosquitoes
are present.
Travelers are highly encouraged to follow prevention recommendations that can be
found at www.cdc.gov to avoid
becoming infected with Zika
virus. PHMDC has been advis-
ing healthcare providers to

monitor patients who have been
traveling for possible Zika
symptoms, and we will continue to monitor the local mosquito population, said Janel
Heinrich, director of PHMDC.
Zika virus is transmitted to
persons primarily through the
bite of an infected mosquito, but
can also be transmitted through
blood transfusions and sexual
activity. Cases of Zika that have
been reported in the United
States have occurred mostly
among travelers to countries
where there is active and ongo-
ing spread of the disease, which

is primarily in Central and
South America, Mexico and the
Caribbean. There have been no
locally-acquired cases of Zika
virus infection in Wisconsin or
in the continental United States.
Symptoms occur in 1 in 5
persons infected with Zika virus
and include fever, conjunctivitis, rash, and/or joint pain. The
illness is typically mild and resolveswithin one week. However, Zika infection in pregnant
women is associated with congenital microcephaly and fetal
losses. Guillain-Barre syn-
drome has also been linked in

patients after suspected Zika infection.
PHMDC advises individuals
with symptoms to see a healthcare provider if they have visited an area where Zika virus is
present or had sexual contact
with a person who traveled to
an area with Zika virus. In addition, the CDC currently recommends that all women who
are pregnant or trying to become pregnant postpone travel
to areas where the Zika virus is
present or consult their doctor
before traveling. Pregnant
According to UW-Madison
professor of entomology Susan
Paskewitz, We found the number of deer ticks increased significantly last year in Madison
and we are finding them in
wooded areas in urban parks
across the state.
We may be used to thinking
that protecting ourselves from
and checking for tick bites is
only necessary when weve
been in the woods or on hikes.
However, it is now advised that
we should increase these efforts. Paskewitz advises, Because these ticks carry Lyme
disease and other pathogens,
people should take care to do
tick checks whenever they have
been out in woods, even in their
own backyards. They should
also use repellents and wear
clothing that will reduce exposure to these pests.

A bite from an infected deer
tick can lead to Lyme disease,
which garners the most attention. However, just as Lyme disease is on the rise in Wisconsin,
so are other diseases infected
deer ticks spread, such as
anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis and spotted fever rickettsial diseases.
According to the CDC, untreated Lyme disease can produce a wide range of symptoms,
depending on the stage of infection. These include fever, rash,
facial paralysis, and arthritis.
Symptoms of the other diseases
spread by deer ticks are very
similar and all may occur anywhere from 3 to 30 days after a
bite. When treated with the ap-
propriate antibiotics in the early

stage of symptoms, one usually
recovers rapidly and completely.
Preventing tick bites is the
best defense against these diseases. Avoid wooded and
brushy areas with high grass,
and walk in the center of trails
if hiking. Use repellents containing 20 to 30 percent DEET
on both exposed skin and clothing, carefully following product
instructions. You can also use
products that contain permethrin on clothing. As soon as
possible after coming indoors,
bathe or shower, conducting a
full-body tick check using a
mirror. Its important to note
that ticks can be as small as a
poppy seed. Adult ticks are
about the size of a sesame seed.
Tumble clothing youve worn

outdoors on high heat in a dryer
as well, to kill any ticks youve
missed.
Unfortunately, dogs are very
susceptible to tick bites and the
diseases they cause, and ticks
might be hard to notice on them.
As with humans, prevention is
the best defense. Use a tick preventive product on your dog
and check it daily for ticks.

women who have traveled to an

area with the Zika virus should
talk to their doctors about testing for Zika virus.
During mosquito season in
Dane County, approximately
late May through September,
PHMDC routinely monitors
adult and larvae mosquitoes.
In over ten years of monitoring, we have not found the
species of mosquitoes identified
as Zika carriers in our community, says John Hausbeck,
PHMDC Environmental Health
Supervisor. We will continue
to monitor this upcoming sea-
son for these specific mosquitoes, in addition to other species

that transmit diseases such as
West Nile Virus.
At this time, there is no specific medication available to
treat Zika virus and there is not
a vaccine. The best way to
avoid Zika virus is to avoid
mosquito bites and to avoid unprotected sexual contact with a

Local lake gets cleaner thanks to county filter

by KEVING MURPHY
Times-Tribune
A day at the Mendota County

Park beach just got better as
county officials last week unveiled a filter system that cleans
the lake water and prevents
beach erosion.
The $80,000 system encircles the swimming area at the
beach on CTH M, draws out
lake water, filters it through
sand at 100 gallons per minute
and returns the filtered water to
the lake.
The system is sized to filter
all the water within the swimming area every 24 hours, said
John Reimer, a Dane County
storm water engineer, who designed the system.
The Clean Beach Corridor
pilot program aims to reduce
the muck and bacteria that results in beach closures when the
weather warms in summer, said
Dane County executive Joe
Parisi who with other county officials announced the project.
Dane County is leading the
charge to clean up our lakes and

invests millions every year towards this important effort.
There is no quick fix or
overnight solution to allow families to enjoy our beautiful
lakes, he said in prepared remarks.
Before the boom and suspended curtail was installed in
the swimming area and the
house for the filter system was
built, the county removed rock
from the lakeshore that was protecting the shore from wave
erosion but preventing swimmers and waders from easily
entering the water.
Seeing the rock come out and
then the filter system installed
has already brought out swimmers, said Michael Gerner, a
park neighbor, who also chairs
the Clean Lakes Alliance.
This park and beach is an
example of what we can do
when we put our minds to it,
he said.
A polyester reinforced PVC
curtain is suspended from the
floating boom and forms a containment area that will be the
primary swimming area at the

park. While a breeze whipped
up waves on the open lake, the
water inside the boom was
calmer and did not seem to lap
at the sand and gravel at the
shore
Now we have a beach
where there wasnt one before
and it opens up one of the greatest assets of our community to
everyone. Also, you dont have
to pay to go to the beach with
your kids, Parisi said.
Brady Musson, of the Town
of Westport, said his son, Louis,
3, would go to the beach every
day and Musson now finds it a
better place for Louis to play.
Its the greatest beach for
him. Its close, the water should
be cleaner this summer; he
loves it, Musson said.
Parisi said the county must
do more than take care of one
beach at a time. It needs to attack the source of pollution in
order to clean up the areas
lakes. The county is spending
$10 million this year toward
that goal. One effort will install
a system this summer to manure

promotes
Phosphorous
growth of algae of which some
types can be toxic to living
things. It also robs the lakes of
oxygen, increases fish mortality
and smells.
The filter system now operating at Mendota County Park is
similar to one the city of Madison has been used at Bernies
Beach on Monona Bay. The
countys system is being piloted
in anticipation of being used at
other county parks, Parisi said.

Students at Middleton High School Urged to Take Pledge to Keep Eyes on the Road, Not on Their Phones
Photos contributed
Students at Middleton High School learned last week about the dangers of distracted driving during an It Can Wait event at the high school hosted by AT&T, AAA and the Wisconsin State
Patrol. Students also had the chance to try out the AT&T virtual reality driving simulator and experience the impact smartphone activity has on their driving.
Nearly 1,600 students at

Middleton High School learned
on Wednesday of last week
about the dangers of smartphone activities while driving
and had the chance to experience the hazards firsthand when
two distracted driving simulators visited the school.
Middleton High School
teamed up with AT&T, AAA
and the Wisconsin State Patrol
as part of theIt Can Wait campaign to remind students that
smartphone activity should wait
until after driving. Teens were
also encouraged to sign a
pledge to keep their eyes on the
road and not on their phones.
In todays mobile world,
many drivers are texting, email
and even video chatting on their
phones when they should be focusing on the very important
task of driving, said principal
Stephen Plank. We want to

help keep our students at Middleton High School safe by educating them on the dangers of
smartphone activities behind
the wheel. Were happy to
bring theIt Can Waitmessage
to school to draw awareness to
this serious issue.
The AT&T virtual reality
driving simulator is visiting
Middleton High School as part
of AT&Ts nationwide tour to
raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving. The
simulator gives students the
chance to virtually experience
what happens when you text
and drive.
The effort is part of
AT&Ts It Can Wait campaign, which has expanded
from a focus on texting while
driving to include other smartphone activities now common
behind the wheel.

When we launched the It
Can Waitcampaign five years
ago, our message was simple
no text is worth a life, said
Scott T. VanderSanden, president of AT&T Wisconsin. The
same applies to other smartphone activities. We are urging
drivers, especially teens, to keep
their eyes on the road and not
on their phones.
During two assemblies, students heard from speakers about
the dangers of distracted driving,
watched
a
video
called The Last Text about
lives altered by someones decision to text and drive, and experienced AAAs distracted
driving simulator.
The event was part of a series
of
high
school
assembliesAT&T, AAA and the
Wisconsin State Patrol are hold-
ing this school year to drive

home the dangers of distracted
driving and encourage students
to take the pledge.
New research from AT&T
shows seven in 10 people engage in smartphone activities
while driving. Texting and
emailing are still the most
prevalent, but four in 10 drivers
also tap into social media. Over
25 percent are on Facebook, 1
in 7 are on Twitter, almost three
in 10 surf the net, and surprisingly, one in 10 video chat.
Advancements in technology have led to new distractions
that drivers need to understand
and beware of, said State Representative Dianne Hesselbein
(D-Middleton). Not only is it
dangerous to text and drive, it is
also dangerous to Snapchat,
scroll through Facebook or take
videos while driving. We hope
students will take the pledge to

focus on the road instead of
their phones.
In December Wisconsin
marked the five-year anniversary of its ban on texting while
driving.
If you text while driving,
your hands are not on the steering wheel, your eyes are not on
the road, and your attention is
not on the traffic and road conditions around you, said WisState
Patrol
consin
superintendent Stephen Fitzgerald. Texting while driving
will, without a doubt, increase
your risk of causing a crash or
failing to avoid one. You are
putting yourself, your passengers, and everyone else on the
road in grave danger.
AT&T first launched the It
Can Wait campaign in 2010 to
educate the public about the
The Wisconsin Government

Accountability Board has asked
the Legislature to release
$250,000 in funds for a
statewide TV, radio and online
campaign to educate voters
about the voter photo ID law.

We need to remind voters to
bring their IDs to the polling
place before the Partisan Primary in August and the Presidential Election in November,
said Kevin Kennedy, Wisconsins chief election official.

We also need to let people
know how they can get a free
state ID for voting, even if they
dont have their birth certificate.
The campaigns message is
that most people already have
the ID they need to vote,
Kennedy said. If they dont
have one, they can get a free ID
for voting at the DMV, even if
they dont have some documents like a birth certificate.
The campaign is designed to
raise awareness and encourage
the public to go to a website
(BringIt.Wisconsin.gov) or call
866-WIS-VOTE (866-8683974) to learn more about what
IDs are acceptable and how
they can get a free ID if they
need one for voting. The campaigns TV and radio ads, short
videos and printable brochures
are available on the website.

The videos are also available on
the YouTube and Vimeo websites.
The Bring It to the Ballot
multimedia ad campaign needs
funding to get on the air and online, said Kennedy, director and
general counsel of the G.A.B.
TV and radio ads were distributed to Wisconsin stations to
run as unpaid public service announcements in February. The
agency has no funding for the
campaign because the voter
photo ID law was on hold in the
courts at the time the current fiscal year budget was submitted
in September of 2014. The U.S.
Supreme Court cleared the law
in March 2015, but the Legislature did not add photo ID campaign funding before passing
the budget in July of 2015.
State law permits agencies to
request supplemental funding
from the Legislature for unbudgeted expenses. ( 13.101(4),

Wis. Stat.) The G.A.B.s funding request was submitted
lateTuesdayto the Joint Committee on Finance, which has
not yet scheduled its quarterly
meeting. If the committee acts
expeditiously, the new Wisconsin Elections Commission
should be able to educate voters
early enough to make sure they
have the ID they need to vote,
Kennedy said.
The funding request includes
two alternative media plans designed to inform Wisconsin voters especially those who are
less likely to have an acceptable
photo ID. The campaign would
begin in July and run through
the November election, but is

As usual, they will have a
wide variety of pies and other
baked goods, topped with ice
cream, and, for your listening
pleasure, the New Horizons
Band will again be playing your
favorite
songs
starting
around 6:30 p.m.
If you are a baker and would
like to contribute your delicious
pies, cakes or cookies to the Social we would love to have your
donation. If possible, they
would like to have these arrive
between 3 and 4 p.m. so that pie
cutters and servers can get them
to the table in time.

about $230,000 purchasing and

installing the solar panels. The
city will pay the utility $12,579
annually to lease the panels and
have an option to buy after five
years.
MG&E officials says it is a
great option for the city because
under their ownership they will
fund the project upfront and get
the greatest tax credits and pass
those savings on to the city.
MG&E estimates the tax credits
to be about $177,100 between

federal and state credits, as well
as rebates.
MG&E points out that it also
diverts the city from having to
get involved or be liable for the
project construction.
The solar panels will not reduce the amount the city spends
on their utility bill. The rate will
be roughly the same as being on
the grid since MG&E will be
selling it to the city.
The solar panels on the roof

of the municipal operations center will be available to residential electric customers.
Those who want to opt in
must pay a one-time participation fee of $47.25 per solar
blocks(1 block = 250 watts or
0.25 kW). Subscribers will pay
a fixed solar rate of $0.12 per
kWh plus reduced transmission
charge ($0.008/kWh) for 25
years. MG&E estimates sub-
scribers would see a reduced

billsin 10 yearsand payback in
17 years. Customers can also
exit at any time.
The 500 kW solar array on
the roof of the municipal operations center will cost MG&E
about $945,000 and generate
648,240 kWh per year.
Spencer Schumacher, chair
of the sustainability committee,
said he supports the solar en-
ergy partnership project at the

Middleton Police Department
and also at the Municipal Operations Center.
If this project goes through
we will have over 25 percent of
the citys use of electricity for
the police station covered by
solar power, Schumacher said.
The goal which the city signed
off on was that 25 percent of our
power would be renewable energy by 2025. This would take

one building and knock it off.
The council unanimously approved the MG&E solar projects proposal including a solar
energy services agreement,
solar rooftop lease at the police
station and the municipal operations center subject to the city
attorneys final approval.
is to assist with what the city

claims are extraordinary costs
including lead contamination in
the soil, bedrock removal,
stormwater detention installation, retaining walls and energy
efficiency measures.
Alds. Hans Hilbert and Gurdip Brar said they were not
comfortable
approving
$400,000 in TIF for the lead remediation because it is adjacent
to an old shooting range.
Ald. Howard Teal said they
will have to move a lot of dirt to

get buildings in and the lead remediation would be extensive.
Brar asked city attorney
Larry Bechler why the former
owner wasnt required to do the
remediation before selling the
property. Bechler said it was a
private deal so he couldnt
know for sure but guessed that
there was at least a minimal
amount of remediation already
done.
Bechler also noted that the
gun range was actually on adjacent property and lead bullets

spilled over on to that property.
City administrator Mike
Davis noted that the property
was purchased by developer
Terrence Wall many years ago
and was later transferred to
Vanta. He said it has been sitting vacant for many years now
so it would be a good candidate
for a TIF project.
The motion to approve the
concept of a TIF agreement
passed with Brar and council

president Susan West opposed.
The common council also approved a developer financed
TIF agreement for $653,562 to
assist Mazur Realty with the
Cardinal Row Apartments project, a 16 unit multi-family
building with a mixture of one,
two and three bedroom units
and 25 underground parking
stalls. Two of the units will be
reserved for tenants earning up
to or below 80 percent of the
adjusted area median income

with rent levels adjusted accordingly.
The TIF assistance was approved for extraordinary
costs incurred by the developer
including underground parking,
demolishing the existing building and reserving two units of
workforce housing for 15 years.
The TIF agreement says the
developer must reserve at least
one three bedroom unit for
workforce housing. A single

tenant that is a full time student
or multiple tenants with more
than one full time student are
not eligible for the unit. It may
be occupied by a tenants earning up to or below 80 percent of
the adjusted area median income.
The TIF agreement with
Mazur Realty forCardinal Row
Apartments passed unanimously.
vancy in July and August.

Pope Farm Conservancy is a
real jewel for the town and the
town has put a lot of money into
it. Site number two is the least
impactful. No one likes a water
tower but I prefer it to an ATC
power line, Shaw told the
board.
Carol Schiller, who owns
about 15 acres just south of the
utility property, asked that the
tower be constructed further
north of her property line which
is closer to Old Sauk Rd. than
the FPFC wanted.
Thats the location desig-
nated in the 2002 Elderberry

Neighborhood plan. I object to
site twoIt would impact me
the most, she said.
The four sites under consideration are spaced along a ridge
that runs east-west across the
middle of the property the utility has owned since 2000. Sites
three and four are 120 feet further north of Schillers property
line than sites one and two.
MWU Project Engineer Pete
Holmgren favored site three,
which is the closest to the intersection. Sixteen people who responded in an online survey
favored Site 1, which is furthest

south of Old Sauk Rd. and closest to Pioneer Rd.
Utility Board member Lauren Cnare recommended with
conditions, site four, the spot
furthest east of the intersection
and furthest north of Schillers
property. However, she backed
off when it was learned that the
site could impact the view from
the Blackhawk neighborhood
and those residents had not been
contacted.
The board eliminated sites
one and two and then asked

those in attendance for their
final comments.
Mel Pope, of the Friends of
Pope Farm Conservancy, said
he wanted time to check if Site
#4 would interfere with the
view from the conservancy to
the southwest.
Maybe it could be moved a
little east some, he told the
board.
Shaw said moving the site
further east would be as [a location] good as any.
Schiller still wanted a site as

far north as possible.
The board agreed to have
staff meet with FPFC for their
input on site number four and
schedule a public meeting on a
tower location at the June 28
meeting.
The board did chose the composite design for the tower. The
tower would be built on 40foot-wide and about a 100-foot-
tall concrete pedestal, topped by

a 75-foot-wide steel tank with a
million-gallon capacity.
The composite is less expensive to build and maintain than
a spheroid or hydropillar designs, said Holmgren.
The board also decided twotone color scheme in which the
llower half of the tank would be
painted a dark blue and the
upper half a light blue.

MHS Thomas, Levin and Herb

have special bond on, off course
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Andy Bernard, the insecure,

quirky salesman from The
Office once said, I wish there
was a way to know youre in
the good old days before
youve actually left them.
Emmet Herb, Joey Levin
and Brady Thomas three
senior
standouts
for
Middletons boys golf team
seem wise beyond their years
and fully understand this premise.
Sitting at a table overlooking beautiful Pleasant View
Golf Course last week, the trio
fondly recalls golfing together
as juniors, nearly a decade ago.
They all agree that when one
has a girl problem, it becomes a
team effort to solve the puzzle.
And they good-naturedly
needle Herb for having one of
the states most passionate and
proud mothers in Annie.
Four years with these guys.
I mean, for me, thats been
awesome, Levin said. Im
just trying to take in every

moment
because
every
moment could be our last.
And perhaps their best.
This threesome has already
made their mark on Middleton
history. The one thing thats
eluded them, though, is a
WIAA Division 1 state championship.
That could be coming in the
next week, though.
Middleton was the favorite
to win Wednesdays Onalaska
Sectional. If the Cardinals
could emerge from there,
theyd earn a third straight trip
to the state meet, which will be
held Monday and Tuesday at
University Ridge Golf Course.
Middleton is ranked No. 2
in the latest state poll. And if
the Cardinals can get back to
University Ridge, theyll certainly be among the favorites to
capture the crown.
I think Ive wanted to win a
state championship since about
the fourth or fifth grade, Herb
said. Its pretty important to
all of us.

mind to something on the golf

course,
theyve
usually
achieved it.
Middleton traditionally has
one of the strongest programs
in the state, which means freshmen rarely play varsity. But
Thomas, Herb and Levin all
broke through from day one,
marking the first time the
Cardinals ever had three fresh-
men make their top five.

Middleton failed to make
the state tournament in that
2013 season, in part because it
was playing in the states
toughest sectional. But the
Cardinals have been a force the
last three seasons.
In 2014, Middleton finished
fourth at state, just nine shots
behind Division 1 champion
Homestead. Last year, the

Cardinals settled for fifth at
state.
While many programs
would have loved such results,
it wasnt what Levin, Herb,
Thomas and the rest of the
Cardinals wanted.
We just could never get in
a groove at state last year,
Thomas said. If we can make
it back, hopefully well be a little more relaxed.

The Cardinals have played
like a relaxed group this season. In fact, Herb jokes how an
opposing player recently told
him hed love to play for MHS
because the team appeared to
be having so much fun.

Down and out

Softball Cards
ousted in
regional final
by DENNIS SEMRAU
Times-Tribune
Middleton center fielder

Rachel Everson wasnt too
happy to see the Cardinals
softball season come to a bitter
end last Thursday.
But the combination of a
porous Cardinals defense early
in the game and an opponent
out for some redemption
proved too much to overcome.
Fifth-seeded La Crosse
Central took advantage of five
Middleton errors and cruised to
a 7-0 victory over the fourthseeded Cardinals in a WIAA
Division 1 regional final at
Firefighters Park.
It didnt help that we gave
it to them a little bit, Everson

said. I wish it could have been
closer of a game to show our
fight.
But the bottom line is
(Central) played well. They hit
the ball well. Their pitcher
came out strong. We put it out
there, but we might have been a
little too nervous to start with.
Middleton (16-9) won the
teams first meeting, 12-1, on
April 30, when the Red Raiders
were missing three regulars,
including injured starting
pitcher Leah Kramer.
However, Kramer was back
in the circle this time and made
her presence felt. Kramer limited Middleton to just four hits
and retired 15 of the last 17 batters she faced.
We told the kids it was
going to be a different team,
La Crosse Central manager
Kevin Colborn said. We wanted to come out and put pressure
on them early and let them
know it was going to be a different game and our girls really
did that well.
The Red Raiders took
advantage of a walk and backto-back infield errors to put
five of their first six batters on
base in the top of the first
inning.
Leah Peterson and Caitlyn
Raatz made Middleton pay for
its early miscues when they
delivered back-to-back runscoring singles to stake Central
(14-12) to a 3-0 lead before the
Cardinals came to bat.
Maybe we got in our
heads. Maybe we were playing
back on our heels, Middleton
starting pitcher Makenzie
Kopp said. We werent attacking the ball.
We made some errors and
then let one turn into two and
three. We should have gotten
on top of it right away, but we
didnt.
Cardinals leadoff hitter
Lauren Banke promptly greeted Kramer with a single to left

field in the bottom of the first
to provide a brief spark.
La Crosse Central catcher
Emily Hayden then picked
Banke off first base on a sacrifice attempt for the first of several stellar defensive plays for
the Red Raiders.
Hanna Fisher followed with
a single to left, but Kramer
retired Everson on a fly ball to
right field and induced Shelby
Ballweg to ground out to third
base to stymie the Cardinals.
I was really happy with our
defense, Colborn said. They
made great plays the whole
game and Leah located the ball
really well.
Central padded its lead in
the top of the second inning,
taking advantage of three
infield errors to score four
more unearned runs and grab a
7-0 lead.
Ballweg said the Cardinals
were down, but certainly not
out despite the depressing start.
Most of those should have
been routine plays, Ballweg
said. It had to have been
nerves because I know in any
other game we would have
made those plays easily.
Middleton manager Perry
Hibner said despite the earlier
non-conference victory over
Central, the Cardinals didnt
take the Red Raiders lightly.
There is a lot of pressure
when you know you have to be
clean (on defense) against a
pitcher the caliber of Leah
(Kramer), Hibner said.
We tried to almost be too
perfect. Sometimes youve got
to say, Okay, you made a mistake, lets just get the next out
and not worry trying to turn a
triple play. Not that we were
trying to do that, but they put
some pressure on us. We didnt
respond as well as we should
have.

Bailey Kalscheur and Middletons girls softball team lost in the regional finals last Thursday.
Kopp drew a leadoff walk in

the bottom of the second inning
before Kramer retired the next
three batters.
That set the stage for a nearly flawless five-inning stretch
where both teams found it difficult to muster a scoring opportunity.
Middleton picked up its
game on defense, with rightfielder Sara Wettstein making a
diving catch in shallow rightcenter field to end the fourth
inning. Ballweg also came up
with a hard hit ball to first base
to end the fifth.
The start wasnt the best,
but the ending was a lot better,
Kopp said. We cleaned up our
act. We have to remember that
going into the future. We were
coming on. We just have to
keep working hard.
Kramer limited Middleton
to just two hits and three base
runners over the final five
innings. Kopp also gave up a

two-out single in the third and
retired the final 13 batters she
faced.
The Cardinals best scoring
opportunity came in the bottom
of the fifth inning, when leadoff hitter Ashley Bindl reached
base on a throwing error, was
sacrificed to second by Bailey
Kalscheur and moved to third
on an infield out.
However, Central shortstop
Megan Kappauf atoned for her
earlier miscue when she snared
Bankes line drive for the third
out.
Jessica Parente singled with
one out in the seventh before
Kramer retired the final two
batters to end Middletons season.
Shes a good pitcher. It was
hard to hit off of her, Ballweg
said of Kramer, who pitched to
contact and finished with one
walk and two strikeouts. After
that start, we shut them down.

We played strong defense. We
played like I knew we could.
We just werent able to get the
bats going.
While the Cardinals werent
able to overcome the disastrous
start, Hibner was pleased with
their ability to bounce back and
battle the rest of the way.
That could have been a 15run game, Hibner said. The
fact is this isnt basketball. This
isnt football. We reminded
them there is no clock up there.
We had 21 outs to work with
when we were down 3-0. We
had 18 outs to work with when
we were down 7-0.
Our big thing was lets play
clean for one inning. Now lets
play clean for another inning
and hopefully it will carry over
to the bats. It didnt today, but
you hope going forward next
year it does. A lot of kids got a
lot of experience this year. We
expect to be good every year,
not just this year.

Memorial/Turner Thursday at 7
p.m. at Firefighters Stadium. If
Middleton wins there, it would
host
either
third-seeded
Madison West or sixth-seeded
Janesville Craig in a regional
final Saturday.
The sectional semifinals are
June 9 and the sectionals finals
are June 11.
We had a tough schedule
this year to help prepare for

quality teams that we will see
in the postseason and hopefully
during state, Middleton coach
Mary Duffy said. Our defense,
which was young and not as
confident in their overall ability, has gelled as of late,
anchored by Grace Douglas.
Grace has helped instill
confidence with her calm
demeanor and with her leadership on and off the field.And in
years past, where we struggled
with more offense, we have
some really dangerous options,
and lots of them, with players
and with possible formations
that will cause opponents difficulty.
Middleton defeated Beloit,
7-0, on May 17. Duffy is hoping for more of the same
Thursday night.
Beloit will have some
tough players that caused us
some tough battles the first
time we played them on their
home field, Duffy said.
However, their field was narrow and didnt allow our more
potent formation of three for-
wards up top room to breathe.

Beloit also has a goalie that
made some awesome saves and
read the play really well. She
will keep them in the game and
we hope to bombard them with
lots of offense that isnt as
straight on like it was previously.
If the Cardinals win there, a
date with Madison West likely
awaits. Middleton defeated the
Regents, 1-0, on May 12.
Top-seeded Verona would
be the likely opponent in a
regional final. Kettle Moraine
is the No. 1 seed on the opposite side of the sectional.
It will come down to grit
and hard work from here on
out, Duffy said. And if we
can say at the end of the game
that we put every ounce of
effort and heart and passion
into our moments on the field,
then we will have nothing to
hang our head for. I hope that
many of those moments will
result in goals, goals and more
goals.
South and a 3-2 win over

Ashwaubenon last Saturday.
The Cardinals finished the
regular season 17-5 overall and
13-5 in the league, which was
good for third place.
Heres a recap of the
Cardinals week:
Beloit Memorial 8,
Middleton 2 The Cardinals
would have kept their conference title dreams alive with a
win. Instead, the Purple Knights
pulled an upset.
Beloits Miguel Betancourt
notched the complete game win.
Betancourt struck out eight,
walked one and allowed eight
hits.
Adam Nutting lasted just 4
2/3 innings for the Cardinals and
suffered the loss.
Drew Finley Haag and Alec

Morrison both had two hits to
lead the Cardinals offense.
Janesville Craig 9,
Middleton 1 The defending
WIAA Division 1 state champion Cougars toppled the host
Cardinals last Thursday.
Craig banged out 13 hits and
scored seven runs in just three
innings off losing pitcher Alec
Morrison.
Craig scored in each of the
first five innings and cruised to
an easy win.

There was no Big Eight

Conference title. No championship to claim.
Now, Middletons baseball
team will try reversing course so
its postseason turns out more
favorable.
The Cardinals dropped their
final two Big Eight games of the
season last week, missing out on
any chance to win a league title.
Middleton fell to Beloit

Middleton tops Bombers Boys lacrosse

by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
They say baseball is a young

mans game.
Dont tell that to Jeff Schafer.
The 51-year-old Schafer and
the Middleton 29ers beat the visiting Black Earth Bombers, 121, in a battle of unbeaten Home
Talent League teams played at
beautiful Sorenson Field in
Middleton on Monday. The
game was stopped after seven
innings due to the 10-run mercy
rule.
The Memorial Day crowd
was delighted by a gem of a
game thrown by Schafer.
Schafer threw a complete
game, six-hitter, and faced little
trouble the entire way. He struck
HTL
out four and walked just one on

95 pitches.
Schafer escaped jams in the
fifth and sixth innings behind
double plays turned by his
strong defense.
When you got guys that
make the plays, its so much easier to pitch, Schafer said. Our
defense is so good.
Middleton manager Brandon
Hellenbrand was very pleased
with the performance of his
starting pitcher.
Schafer is a veteran guy for
us, Hellenbrand said. Hes
going to throw strikes and keep
us in the game.
Middletons offense was
clicking on all cylinders yet

again.
The 29ers were able to force
many deep counts and put plenty
of runners on base against
Bombers starting pitcher Miles
Potuznik, who allowed eight
earned runs in just four innings.
Andrew Zimmerman went 3for-3 with four RBI and two
runs scored to lead Middletons
offense.
Potuznik is a good pitcher
and we were patient at the plate,
so a lot of our at-bats got late in
the count and we forced him to
bring it to us, Zimmerman said.
We had a lot of base runners
every inning.
Black Earth came in outscoring opponents, 53-23, on the
year. That made Schafers gem
even more impressive.
Something about Schafer,
said Black Earth manager Eric
Duhr. Its been a couple of
years now. We struggle against
him. We have to learn to hit
him.
Black Earth (6-1) was led by
center fielder Bryce Barsness,
who went 3-for-3.
Well be fine, Duhr said.
We know where we got to get
to now. Well strive and well
get there.
Middleton improved to 7-0
and has now outscored opponents 76-14 on the year.
Shortstop Drew Farrell went
3-for-3 with two runs scored and
an RBI. Designated hitter Cole
Cook had two walks and scored
four runs, while third baseman
A.J. Redders went 2-for-4 with
three runs scored.
Can we keep it up? Who
knows? Hellenbrand said.
Right now were playing good
baseball and well just keep riding it. Its been fun so far.

Richland Center Saturday at 4
p.m. Black Earth is at Reedsburg

team ended the regular season
with an 11-5 win over
Eastside last Tuesday.
The Cardinals sent 16 seniors out with a victory on
Senior Night at Breitenbach
Stadium.
Middleton jumped to 5-0
lead after one period. Bryce
Reynolds and Lane Wahlgren
both had two goals in the period, while Mitch Bacon had a
goal.
In the second period, the
teams traded goals. Bacon,
freshman Kevin Grelle and
Noah Goll all tallied goals for
MHS, which took an 8-3 halftime lead.
In the third period, MHS
uncharacteristically took several
penalties,
putting
Eastside in multiple man up
situations. Eastside was able
to capitalize twice in the third

while MHS got a key goal
from Travis Raffel to go into
the final period with a 9-5
lead.
The Cardinals then got
fourth period goals from Troy
Reifsteck and Jack Stormer to
put Eastside away.
MHS finished the regular
season ranked sixth in the
state by LAX Power with a
12-3 record. The Cardinals
also finished in second place
in their conference behind
Verona, the states top ranked
team.
MHS hosted Kenosha in a
regional semifinal Tuesday. If
the Cardinals advanced, they
would host the winner of
Waukesha and D.C. Everest
on Thursday, June 2 in a
regional final.

things, they could lift the

Cardinals into contention for a
state team championship, as
well.
We want to work together
and help each other along the
way, Newcomb said. I want
Perrin to do great and he
wants the same for me. If we
both do well, its great for the
team.
Hagge, who will run for
Princeton in the fall, agreed
with Newcomb.
Gus and I work really well
together, Hagge said. We
push each other really hard
and weve grown really close
through the years. I think its
been mutually beneficial.
And extremely beneficial
for MHS.
Hagge and Newcomb estimate they train together
around 330 days a year, something theyve done the past 18
months.
When the duo began training, their talks were mostly
centered on running. Today,
their conversation topics
cover the gauntlet, and each
standout considers the other
among his closest friends.
Im going to miss him
next year, Hagge said of
Newcomb. No doubt.
Thats next year, though.
Right now, Middleton has a
chance for one of the finest
finishes in school history
thanks in part to this terrific
twosome.
At the Holmen Sectional
last Thursday, Hagge won the
1,600-meter run in 4:16.17
and Newcomb was second
(4:17.29). Hagge is now seed-
n GIRLS
ished second as a team at

state last year, figure to make
a splash again thanks to this
dynamic duo.
You dont get athletes like
Sam or Lauren on your team
very often, Christnovich
said. So when you do you
just need to sit back, smile,
and enjoy the races.
Its amazing to watch
them race each time they are
on the track. Im glad I dont
have to coach an athlete that
competes against them.
Its easy to see why, as both
athletes have enjoyed spectacular seasons.
Valentine battled stress
fractures in her leg the last
two years that slowed her
down. But it could be hard to
slow Valentine this time
around.
At sectionals, Valentine
won the 800 in 2:13.03, nearly
four seconds faster than runner-up Mason Kalander of
Holmen (2:16.98). Valentine
was even more dominant in
the 1,600, where her time of
5:00.11 easily outdistanced
second
place
Kalander
(5:07.56).
Valentine is now seeded
second at state in both the 800
and the 1,600.
In addition, Valentine led
the 1,600-meter relay team
that won sectionals. That
quartet, which also included
senior Hanne AndersenSmith,
junior
Alyssa
Lemirande and senior Hailee
Milton, is seeded fourth at
ed third at state and Newcomb

is seeded second.
Newcomb won the 3,200 at
sectionals in 9:28.31 and
Hagge was second (9:28.39).
Newcomb is now seeded
fourth at state and Newcomb
is seeded fifth.
In addition, Hagge won the
800-meter dash at sectionals
and is seeded 10th at state.
If both individuals shine at
state, Middleton will be in the
hunt for a title.
We have a realistic chance
of scoring enough points to
put us in the top five again at
state, Middleton coach Joe
Line said. Seed times and
distances are misleading
because it only measures the
previous meet.
If you look at what are
athletes can do and have done
in the past, we can do some
damage at state. Almost all of
our athletes have competed at
this level in the past, and
hopefully the experience of
the state meet we already have
can push us past the strong
opponents we are going to
face.
That could certainly be the
case for Hagge and Newcomb.
Last year, Hagge was second at state in the 800 and
fourth in the 1,600. Hed love
nothing more than to better
both of those places this
weekend, and fare well in the
3,200.
I learned a lot last year
and I think that experience
should really help, Hagge
said. Theres a lot of good
competition but this is the
final race of my high school
state.
Its so nice to be healthy,
Valentine said. Its kind of
surprising really. But its so
exciting, because I think we
have a chance to do great at
state.
Valentine currently ranks
sixth in points for an MHS
athlete since 2007. The only
girls to score more points
went on to score at state, as
well.
Christnovich expects much
of the same from Valentine.
Sam has a very good
chance at being in the top
three in both the 800 and
1600, he said. And our
(1,600) relay that Sam
anchors also has a good shot
at being a podium team (top
six).
Smith has a chance to do
some special things, as well.
Smith was second at state
last year in the 100-meter hurdles. And this year, her time at
sectionals (14.97) was nearly
a full second faster than runner-up Ashley Sprain of La
Crosse
Logan
(15.82).
Smiths time was also the
third fastest in the state at sectionals.
I can still get my time
down, too, said Smith, who
set a school record in the 100
hurdles (14.82) earlier this
year. Thats going to be a
really exciting race.
Smith, along with Milton,
Andersen-Smith and senior
Abbey Webber, finished first
at sectionals in the 800-meter
career and I want to make it

great. Fingers crossed.
Newcomb was sixth at
state in the 3,200 last year and
believes hes ready for a big
performance there and in
the 1,600.
My big goal is to win the
(3,200), Newcomb said.
Ive wanted this for more
than a year now.
Newcomb and Hagge will
have plenty of company at
state.
The Cardinals 3,200-meter
relay team of junior Ryan
Madoch, junior Cole ConklinLittle, freshman Caleb Easton
and senior Eddie Larson was
second at sectionals (8:03.78)
and is seeded 10th at state.
Middletons
800-meter
relay team of senior Will
Funk, sophomore Aaron
Richardson, junior Tre Turner
and senior Jack Jesse was first
at sectionals (1:29.66) and is
seeded 14th at state.
Jesse won the long jump at
sectionals (21-2), an event he
finished fifth at state in 2015.
Funk was third at sectionals in the 200-meter dash
(22.50) and is seeded 13th at
state. Griffin Gussel was third
at sectionals in the 400
(51.46) and is seeded 22nd at
state.
Jack Radar was fourth at
sectionals in the 3,200
(9:31.28) and received special
qualifying status for state.
Radar is now seeded eighth at
state.
All of those athletes figure
to provide critical points at the
state meet. Hagge and
Newcomb could do much of
the heavy lifting, though.

Im really hoping I can
help us get to one of the top
positions, Newcomb said. I
think we can do it. Its really
stressful.
Added Hagge: If Gus and
I can have great meets, anything can happen. Its going to
be a lot of fun.

team. Lauren will put the

place where it should stand

Hathaway was second in
the pole vault (10-6) at sectionals and junior Madeline
Pflasterer-Jennerjohn

ranked ninth in the state
among sectional qualifiers.
If Middleton is going to
repeat its 2015 magic, though
when it shocked the track

points away from a state title
Smith and Valentine will
have to have unforgettable
weekends.
That was one of the best
sporting events of my life,
said Smith, who will run at the
University of Minnesota next
year. We always bring a lot
of people as a team and we
might not have as many this
year. But I think we can still
do some great things.

n GOLFERS
And why wouldnt these

Cardinals be having the time of
their young lives?
After
winning
the
Middleton Regional last week,
the Cardinals had finished first
in 15 of 17 events this season.
Middleton ran away with the
Big Eight Conference dual
meet title and the conference
championship. The Cardinals
also finished first at star-studded tournaments such as the
Waukesha South Invite held at
Bristlecone Pines, the Morgan
Stanley Shootout at University
Ridge, the Sheboygan North
Invite at Whistling Straits Irish
Course and the Madison
Memorial Invite held at
Blackhawk Country Club.
I had no idea we had done
that well until (a reporter) told
me, Herb said. I thought
there were a bunch of times we
werent first. Thats pretty
cool.
*******************
Middletons success the past

four years is largely due to one
of the best trios in school history.
Levin and Thomas attended

Kromrey Middle School, while
Herb went to Glacier Creek.
But theyve all known each
other more than a decade
thanks to golf a sport where
one is more passionate than the
next.
Herb says he started playing
golf around his house by 2- or
3-years old. Herbs parents
took him on a course when he
was 4, and he was playing in
tournaments by the time he was
six.
I remember playing a par-3
and shooting a 54 when I was
really little, Herb said. I was
going nuts.
Levin learned to crawl by
chasing after Fisher Price golf
balls. By the time Levin was 4,
his father, Ken, was taking him
to courses.
Levin actually enjoyed soccer more than golf for much of
his childhood. By seventh
grade, though, he was all-in
on golf.
Thats when I first started
taking it seriously, Levin said.
Thomas was hitting balls at
the Bridges Golf Course when
he was 2. And while Thomas is
a good athlete who played varsity basketball the last two

years, hes always been a golfer
first and foremost.
I remember sacrificing
other sports to play golf.
Quitting sports, Thomas said.
Hoops kind of helped me stay
in shape and keep my athleticism. But its always been
golf.
When the three came
together at Middleton High
School, the timing was perfect
for them to make their mark.
The Cardinals had lost three
seniors from their 2012 team,
and Levin, Thomas and Herb
were ready to show their stuff.
We had a few openings and
they obviously had a lot of talent, Middleton coach Tom
Cabalka said earlier this spring.
Its worked out pretty well.
And how.
Herb, who weighs 130
pounds soaking wet, has a sensational swing and a terrific
short game. Herbs second
home is the golf course, and its
showed in his continued
growth.
Herb has earned first-team
all-Big Eight Conference hon-
ors three straight years and was

named honorable-mention allstate in 2015. Hell also continue his golfing career at St.
Thomas (Minn.), one of the top
Division 3 programs in the
country.
Emmett continues to work
so hard and he refuses to be
mediocre, Cabalka said of
Herb. Hes had great drive for
this game since he was 8 or 9
years old. This is his game and
he just keeps getting better at
it.
Levin has improved as
much as anyone in the program
in years. Levin was a secondteam all-conference player in
2014, was runner-up for league
Player of the Year honors in
2015, then was recently named
the Big Eights Player of the
Year in 2016.
I think the big thing with
me is when things arent going
well, Ive become better at
grinding it out, Levin said.
Thomas was a first-team allBig Eight Conference player as
a sophomore and finished second in the leagues Player of
the Year race that spring.
Thomas slipped to second-
Times-Tribune photos by Mary Langenfeld
team all-Big Eight in 2015,

then rebounded with a terrific
2016 that saw him earn firstteam all-conference honors
again.
I think I put too much pressure on myself last year, said
Thomas, who will play next
season at UW-Eau Claire.
This year has been a lot better.
*******************
Now, this trio will aim for

their very own Peyton
Manning-ending.
In a few short months, this
terrific threesome will all have
different zip codes. Levin is
going to the University of
Wisconsin as a student, while
Thomas and Herb are off to
play collegiate golf.
The good old days are soon
to be just that.
It seems crazy that its
almost over, that any meet
could be our last one, Herb
said. None of us want it to
end.
If Middleton does make it
back to state, it figures to have
plenty of firepower to make a
title run.
In addition to the Big
Three, fellow senior Nils
Arneson has improved his
game dramatically. Arneson, a
transfer from Madison East in
2014-15, was recently named
second-team all-Big Eight and
has had his best season with the
Cardinals.
Sophomore Andy Zucker is
incredibly gifted, as well, and
provides hope for the present
and the future.
But if Middleton is going to
hoist gold, Thomas, Herb and
Levin will need to be at their
best. And for three of the better
golfers the program has seen, a
state title would be the perfect
sendoff.
I feel like the team is not so
much worried about winning it,
but we just want to play well,
Levin said. If we play well
and someone happens to go
lower, we didnt lose it. They
won it. We just want to go and
play well and see what happens.
