On June 4, the Performing Arts Cen-ter hosts the Middleton Community

Orchestras season finale. In a keys-versus-strings showdown or rather,

complementary collaboration Mid-dleton native and pianist Thomas Kas-

dorf will join violinist and MCOconcertmaster Alice Bartsch.

The audience is in for a real treatas this concert features two phenome-

nal young artists as soloists, said

Mindy Taranto, co-founder of MCO.

Both have been members of the pres-tigious Perlman Trio. The Perlman

Trio is a high honor and scholarshipbestowed on chamber musicians by

UW School of Music faculty andfunded by Kato Perlman.

While Bartsch has just graduatedfrom the UW with a degree in violin

performance, and is moving to Mon-treal for a Masters in the same, Kasdorf

is seeking his Masters of Music in col-laborative piano from the UW.

Kasdorf said he is looking forward

to his third appearance with MCO,

playing Edvard Griegs only piano

concerto.[Griegs concerto] is the next step

in my partnership with MCO, Kasdorfexplained. Last time, I played Mozart

which was a more intimate, chamber-like piece. This is a little more bombas-

tic and intense.A favorite of Kasdorfs, the piece

also has personal significance.When I won the Madison Sym-

phony Orchestra concerto competitionas a teenager, I played the first move-

ment, he said.Taranto asserted Griegs well-

known piece in the capable hands ofKasdorf is not to be missed, while

Bartschs interpretation of the DvorakRomance is beautiful, emotional, lyri-

cal, and appropriate for her farewellperformance.

Soloing with the Middleton Com-

munity Orchestra is an amazing expe-rience because Im able to make musicwith people who I have grown to con-

sider as my family away from home,said Bartsch, who hails from Min-

nesota. Everyone is so supportive andhappy to be playing, and I think that re-

ally shines through the music.Bartsch has also played in the Madi-

son Symphony Orchestra, while serv-ing as MCO concertmaster for three

years. She has been responsible forevery violin solo, leading the violin

section, and interpreting the music forall strings.

The MCO has greatly enjoyed itsopportunity to benefit from [Bartschs]

artistry and tremendous talent, and will

miss her leadership and wonderful dis-

position, concluded Taranto.

Already looking forward to next fall,Taranto revealed Rossinis William

Tell Overture will sound the first notesof MCOs fifth season. The four-con-

cert series will feature Brahms, Dvo-

rak, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff,Tchaikovsky and others.

A first-time collaboration betweenFriends of the PAC, Middleton Play-

ers Theater and MCO is also in the

works: the Broadway show Carousel.

Kasdorf, a ten-year veteran of MPT,

will direct this new venture.

Admittedly behind the eight ballin Internet marketing, Pleasant View

Golf Course will next month begintouting a flexible pricing structure

through an email campaign to attractmore golfers to book tee times online,

said Jeremy Cabalka general manager.Although golfers book tee times by

phone, or just walk up, Cabalka wantsto encourage online booking to capture

revenue the city-owned course may notbe getting now.

Well have people call and leave amessage after nine at night, when they

could go online, and book a tee timethen instead, he said.

Online booking also frees up counteremployees to assist customers who are

present and ready to golf, he said.We want to reward people who

make the reservation themselves, hesaid.

To encourage online booking, Pleas-ant View will email registered cus-

tomers price specials to giving themmore incentive to book tee times them-

selves and to advantage of the less busyhours on the course.

These wont be huge discounts, afew dollars [per golfer] perhaps, said

Cabalka who added, I dont know if

demand rates are right for a municipalcourse.

Six Mile Creek in Waunakee and

The Oaks, in Cottage Grove, both pri-vately owned, employ pricing struc-

tures that may offer several differentrates during the day based on past traf-

fic, weather and other conditions.Rack rates, with variations for

weekday and weekend play will pre-dominate at Pleasant View but more

flexible rates will be emailed out to getmore customers used to booking tee

times themselves.The courses website, golfpleas-

antview.com now offers online book-

ing and registering for emailed notices.Price specials, discounts and in rare

occasions, slightly higher rates, will bebased on historical usage data and from

just being here 60 hours a week, Ca-balka said.

Net revenue to date is up a littlecompared to last year, he said.

The issue has been the weather. Its

been a tough spring. We began about aweek earlier than in 2013, but weveprobably had the same number of

closed dates compared to last year, hesaid.

The loss of three nights of leagueplay cost the course about $10,000 to

$15,000 in revenue, he said.Pleasant View added to its club-

house wait staff this year to better servehungry and thirsty golfers. The extra

staff also will be needed for the fourweddings booked for the clubhouse

this year, which is the most ever, Ca-balka said.

City announces

trolley serviceThe Middleton Tourism Commission will host a press conference Thurs-

day, May 29 announcing the start of service of the new Middleton trolley.The Middleton trolley is a free service catering to visitors without cars orthat prefer to only park once. It will run 5:30-10:30 p.m. on weekdays, with14 stops on a 25-minute loop. The loop includes Middletons downtown, theDiscovery Springs area, Greenway Station and many other local businesses.

The press conference will be held on Thursday, May 29 at 10 a.m. at theMiddleton Visitors Center in the historic Middleton Depot at 1811 ParmenterStreet. The Tourism Departments goal is to have a visible display of supportand excitement for this trial endeavor while local politicians, including Rep.Dianne Hesselbein and Sen. Jon Erpenbach, give brief remarks, followed bya ribbon cutting and a short trolley ride around the city.

The Tourism Commission budgeted $50,000 from room taxes in 2014 forthis exploratory service. No other funds are being used. We hope it becomesa mainstay for visitors as well as residents in Middleton, said city adminis-trator Mike Davis.

apply for a variety of certificates or ex-

emptions that are not available to thegeneral public. Residents should be

aware that it is illegal to move fire-wood out of the EAB quarantined area,

as it is the primary means for the EABto spread. It is best to keep firewood

onsite.Middleton began preparing for the

arrival of EAB with the adoption of awritten plan and completion of an ash

tree inventory in 2009. Over 2,500 ashtrees were identified on public right of

ways and parklands. Pre-emptive re-

moval of ash trees was started in 2010.Over 600 ash trees have been removed

and more than 500 new trees of otherspecies have been planted in place of

the ash trees. Most of the removals andplantings have been done by City staff.

No treatments have been conducteddue to the overpopulation of ash trees

in Middleton. When the total numberof ash trees is reduced to 10% of the

overall street tree population, a re-eval-uation of treatment options and man-

agement approaches will be conducted

for possible inclusion into future man-agement. If a resident would like to

pay for treatment of a tree in the publicright of way, they should contact the

City Forester at 821-8345.Residents concerned about the

health of their ash trees should consultwith professional arborists or tree care

specialists. A list of certified arboristsfor hire can be found at: www.waa-

Just in time for the Memorial Dayweekend and the busy summer travel

season, the Wisconsin Department ofTransportation awarded the Dane

County Sheriffs Office a $10,000grant for distracted driving enforce-

ment.As technology becomes more and

more part of our daily activity, and weall juggle busy schedules, it can be

easy to become distracted while driv-

ing. But our deputies, highway work-ers, and EMS personnel see first-handevery day the devastation that can hap-

pen when drivers become distracted.These crashes are easily preventable if

we give driving our full attention, saidSheriff David Mahoney, who an-

nounced the grant at a press conferencein the Town of Middleton last week.

The first deployment took placeThursday, May 22, with the targeted

area being the Beltline Highway be-tween Middleton and Cottage Grove.

Increased summer traffic combinedwith several construction zones along

the Beltline, make it crucial for mo-torists to give driving their full atten-

tion. Distracted driving is defined asany activity that could divert a persons

attention away from the primary task

of driving. This includes eating anddrinking, reading maps or using a GPS,using a cell phone, or adjusting a radio,

just to name a few. In 2012, 3,328people were killed in the U.S. in motor

vehicle crashes where distracted driv-ing was a primary factor.

According to www.distraction.gov,when someone sends a text message,

their eyes are off the road for an aver-age of five seconds; at 55 mph, thats

enough time to travel the length of afootball field.

Every time you drive, you arelegally and morally responsible for

safely operating a potentiallydestructive, and even deadly, force,

said David Pabst, Bureau Director forthe Wisconsin Department of

Transportations Bureau of

Transportation Safety. Thats whydriving requires your undividedattention. Any lapse in attention to

traffic or road conditions is a gravedanger to drivers, passengers and

everyone else on the road. No attemptto multi-task behind the wheel is more

important than a human life.The Dane County Sheriffs Office

will continue this enforcement until theend of August. The cost of an inatten-

tive driving or texting while driving ci-tation is $187.90.

The Middleton-Cross Plains Board

of Education recently voted unani-mously to appoint Brian Hornung as

the Area 1 representative.The seat was left vacant after former

board member Jim Greer resigned totake a post with AT&T at their head-

quarters in Dallas, Tex.Following Greers resignation, the

board discussed the proper protocol infilling the seat. They determined they

would have an application and inter-view process. The preferred candidate

would be appointed to the board toserve the rest of Greers term. Hor-

nung was the only applicant.Greers term is set to expire in 2016.

At that point, Hornung will have theoption to run for re-election.

The district ran announcements intheMiddleton Times-Tribune as well as

the News-Sickle-Arrow for severalweeks. The board interviewed Hor-

nung for about 20 minutes before vot-ing on his appointment.

Hornung is a vice president of fieldoperations for J.H. Findorff & Son, a

prominent local construction contrac-tor. Findorff has worked with the dis-

trict for a number of years on variousbuilding projects. Hornung says he

would recuse himself from any voteswhere there might be a conflict of in-

terest because of his position.With Findorff doing the construc-

tion for the referendum there will prob-ably be a number of issues I will have

to recuse myself from, and I will beconscious of that. Hornung told the

board. I would ask other board mem-bers that if I am not conscious [of a

conflict of interest] for whatever reasonthat they ask me to be conscious of it.

Hornung graduated from the Mid-dleton High School and now has three

children in the district. He praised thesuccesses of the district and said he

views serving on the board as a way togive back to his community.

The school district prepares youamazingly well, Hornung said.

When you go to any college you aresitting with students from 50 other

states and other countries that gradu-ated pretty high in their class.

Hornung said he views the districtadministrators and staff as profession-

als who know what they are doing bet-ter than he does. He said he will re-

spect their judgment on the day-to-dayoperations and focus more on the big-

ger picture as a board member.Following the boards questions

Hornung asked the board if they hadany advice for him. A few board mem-

bers expressed that he should not be in-timidated by the inevitable learning

curve. Board members acknowledgedmeetings can be steeped with jargon

and complicated information and data.They encouraged Hornung to ask about

anything he may not understand. An-other comment was made that there are

always opportunities for learning andinvolvement for board members.

Hornung will be sworn in and par-ticipate in the next school board meet-

ing.

From the Middleton Recreation Department

CC ITIZENSITIZENS AACADEMYCADEMYMiddleton Times-Tribune reporter volunteers to be tased

The Citizens Academy returned tothe Middleton Police Department for

their seventh session on Wednesday,May 14, to learn about Defense and Ar-

rest Tactics (DAAT).Sergeant Jessica Quamme led the

class, first giving a brief overview ofDAAT. Police officers are responsible

by law to use force when it is objec-tively reasonable in order to gain con-

trol of an individual, execute an arrest,or protect themselves and/or others

from harm or death. The levels offorce that police officers can use

range from verbal and physical re-straint to non-lethal and deadly force.

After learning about why and whenforce can be used, Sergeant Quamme

and Officers Dixon and Kasdorf in-structed the class on various techniques

used, including escort holds, baton use,handcuffing, and finally, Taser use.

For the sake of journalism and per-sonal experience, I was one of four stu-

dents who volunteered to be tased.While I am very glad I volunteered, it

is safe to say that being tased is some-

thing I hope to never experience again.Some students elected to have the full

five-second duration of the Taser, and

others chose a lesser duration of threeseconds or so.

Being tased is the strangest feeling

in the world: your muscles lock up andyou lose all control over motor skills

but you are completely aware of yoursurroundings. The Officers described

the feeling as having a Charlie Horsetimes 1,000 and Id have to agree with

that.While being tased is certainly not

the most pleasant feeling in the world,it is typically the preferred method of

force for police officers instead of thebaton or OC (peppery spray), when

warranted. Tasers allow police officers

several seconds to gain control of theindividual while at a reduced level of

threat and also has less permanent and

dangerous side effects in comparison.The baton has the ability to shatterbones, making for an extremely painful

and expensive recovery, and OC has along, excruciating duration and can

even burn ones corneas (as experi-enced by Sergeant Quamme at the Po-

lice Academy).Ultimately, the use of force via

baton, OC, or Taser by Middleton po-lice officers is relatively rare, and noth-

ing to worry about if you are not posinga threat to officers or other bystanders.

Check back each week to see the lat-est from the Citizens Academy!

7/20

for disseminating the information to

Middleton residents before a referen-dum on the Nov. 4 ballot. The council

voted to put a dollar amount on the ref-erendum in hopes more information

would make voters comfortable in sup-porting it.

The debate centered mainly aroundthe idea of the adding the estimated

rates of the utility to the referendum.Some council members thought leav-

ing estimated rates off would give thecity more flexibility and less pressure.

Others thought it could make voters

uncomfortable voting for something

that does not have a defined dollaramount.

My preference is to have a set

amount for citizens, said ald. Susan

West (Dist. 6). I dont think leaving it

open ended would pass a referendum,

even though I like the idea philosophi-

cally to get us the money. I see the

more important thing is getting the ref-

erendum passed because of the impor-

tance to the community.

Ald. Hans Hilbert (Dist. 7) dis-

agreed with Wests view. He believes

putting a dollar amount on the referen-

dum could potentially limit the citys

efforts. He noted he is confident this

is something citizens can understand if

the city is tactful in the way it informs

voters.

I understand Susans sentiment

about a referendum, but I think that is

an important part that will have to get

disseminated out to voters so that they

understand that, Hilbert stated. I

think we have groups and advocates on

both sides in the city that are more than

capable of achieving that goal.

City attorney Larry Bechler pointed

out that whichever way the council

goes, the city must demonstrate a rea-

son and logic in setting utility rates.

If the rates are unreasonable it can

be challenged [before] the Public Serv-

ice Commission, Bechler noted.

There is always a requirement that

utility rates be reasonable and support-

able in logic and you have to demon-

strate what your expenditures are for.

After the council voted to put a pro-

jected cost on the referendum they

were able to approve a deal with Hoot

Communications to make a brochure

that will inform residents of the citys

claims of a need for a new utility.

Hoot Communications will design

the pamphlet for $500. Another $600

will go to the company that processes

Middletons water utility quarterly bills

to include the pamphlet in in the third

quarter bill in the first week of Au-

gust.

Walker vs. Burkelike 1960s Nixonvs. Kennedy race

Wisconsins current gubernatorialcontest reminds me of a presidential

race more than 50 years ago. In 1960,a young, relatively inexperienced De-

mocrat named John Kennedy had theaudacity to run against a career politi-

cian named Richard Nixon.Mary Burke, like Kennedy, comes

from a wealthy family, is obviouslyvery bright, and has a positive outlook

and uplifting message. She is open andsincere in her political and social be-

liefs. What you see is what youget. You might not agree with every-

thing she says, but you know that shemeans what she says.

Walker, on the other hand, comesacross as shifty, secretive and less than

candid. As the Milwaukee Journalnoted, he recently included non-profit

groups such as Scout troops, youth ath-letic leagues and condo associations as

new businesses that have emerged inWisconsin because of his

leadership. Like Nixon, Walker seemslike the kind of guy who you can easily

imagine setting up secret off-line com-munications systems or hiring staff

people who are later convicted of mis-using public funds and committing se-

rious felony crimes.Mary Burke is a refreshing contrast

to cynical career politicians who playfast and loose with the truth, make

backroom deals and then try to buy ourvote with a couple hundred dollar tax

rebate at election time.This election is not so much about

issues as it is about character and in-tegrity.

Teachers call fornew contractnegotiations

Letter to the editor,

Kudos to Madison SuperintendentJennifer Cheatham and the Madison

Metropolitan School District Board ofEducation! On May 15th Cheatham

sent an email to her staff announcingthat the BOE had voted unanimously

to begin good faith collective bargain-ing for the 2015-2016 school year. It

should be noted that Madison alreadyhas a contract in place for next year

(2014-2015). That contract was settledin December of 2013. Additionally in

her email, Cheatham expressed excite-ment about the opportunity to come

together on behalf of our staff and allchildren.

Sadly, in the Middleton-Cross PlainsArea School District it is a very differ-

ent story. While our district continuesto receive great accolades: #1 high

school in WI, exceeds expectationson the state report card, Presidential

honors, numerous Top Notch Teacher,Crystal Apple and Kohl awards just to

name a few, our Board of Educationhas REFUSED repeated requests to

enter into good faith collective bargain-ing. According to a staff survey con-

ducted by MEA earlier this year, staff

morale is at an all time low at manyschools in our district. Our best teach-ers (both new and experienced) have

already taken jobs at other schools fornext year or are actively seeking to

leave education all together. The BOEhasnt shared that with the community

but they seem to have no problem plas-tering the district website with all the

great things teachers are doing on adaily basis in order to bolster the image

of the Middleton-Cross Plains AreaSchool District.

The BOE is in a position to makeright with their teachers. They CAN

enter into good faith collective bargain-ing. But they wont. This is concern-

ing to many. Without a contract,

teachers have no security in their work-ing conditions and cannot do their bestwork. Without a set, dependable salary

schedule teachers have no way ofknowing if or when they will ever be

compensated for years of experience,Masters degrees or additional educa-

tion credits earned. How are we to planfor our future? For example, whether

to start or expand our families, pur-chase a house, or plan for college for

our own children?The employee/employer relations of

this district have deteriorated and that

should be of great concern to this com-munity. What kind of board of educa-

tion does not want their teachers tohave a voice and a meaningful place at

the table? As parents and tax payersyou should be demanding that the BOE

negotiate with their teachers. Our su-

perb teachers are the heart of this com-munity and what makesMiddleton-Cross Plains a destination

district. Those charged with the careand intellectual growth of the children

of this district, the very future of ourcommunity, deserve RESPECT. Our

working conditions are your childslearning conditions. If our work as ed-

ucators is truly valued and honored, asthey repeatedly say it is, the BOE will

engage in contract negotiations withtheir teachers so that we may continue

to do what we do best wi thout fear anduncertainty. Write to Superintendent

Don Johnson and members of theBoard of Education today. Tell them

to negotiate a contract with the great

teachers of this district. Keep our dis-trict and this community one of whichwe can all be proud.

We need your support!

REFERENDUM continued from page 1

Middleton High School junior IvrajSeerha finished among the top 20 stu-dents in his event at the DECA Inter-

national Career DevelopmentConference in Atlanta earlier this

month.Seerha competed with more than

150 others in the Human ResourcesManagement series.

That was definitely the highlight ofthe competition, MHS DECA adviser

Robert Hutchison said. His perform-ance was solid on his exam and role

plays. We wont know is final scoresuntil June but to finish in the top 20 out

of 150 students in his series is quite anaccomplishment. Since hes a junior, I

look forward to seeing what he will do

next year.

In all 12 MHS DECA members ad-vanced to ICDC. The students quali-

fied to compete at ICDC at the stateconference held at the Grand Geneva

in March. That is the second-highestnumber of students that have advanced

to the competition since Hutchisontook over the program more than a

decade ago.The students took a marketing exam

and performed role plays based on sit-uations they would encounter if they

had a job in marketing. The studentscompeted against students from all

over the United States, Canada, China,Germany, and Guam.

It was great to see so many MHSDECA members qualify for ICDC,

Hutchison said. This was a very tal-ented group.

It would have been easy for Charlie

Stankiewicz to throw in the towel. Tosay enough is enough.

Fortunately for Middletons golfprogram, that never happened.

Stankiewicz battled and battled,but failed to earn a spot with the

Cardinals varsity until this his sen-ior season. Now, hes making it a year

to remember.Stankiewicz shot a 3-over-par 74

and captured medalist honors at theMiddleton Regional Tuesday at

Pleasant View Golf Course.Stankiewiczs big day helped the

Cardinals win the regional title andadvance to Tuesdays Baraboo

Sectional.Good for Charlie, Middleton

coach Tom Cabalka said. Ive said itbefore, Charlie is our best ball striker,

and when he hits it like he was(Tuesday) and puts it in the center of

the green, hes going to score well.

Middleton won the regional with a308-team score, while MadisonMemorial was second (314) and

Oregon was third (323). Waunakee,Sauk Prairie and Verona (341 each) all

tied for fourth, but the Warriors won aplayoff and earned the final spot at

sectionals.It was a fun day, Stankiewicz

said. I didnt think I was striking theball all that well, but I made some

putts and put up a solid number.Stankiewicz has been putting up

solid numbers all season long. And hisemergence is a big reason that

Bobbi Patrick isn't ashamed to

admit it.She was nervous. Big-time.

Middletons junior track and field

standout was preparing for the 400-meter run last Tuesday at the BigEight Conference meet. And Patrick

had a case of the jitters.I havent run many open 400s,

Patrick said. And I was shaking. Iwas pretty nervous.

There was no need for uneasiness.Patrick had a memorable night,

winning the 400 and scoring points inthree events. And Middleton had an

even better evening, rolling to the con-ference title and snapping Sun

Prairies five-year stranglehold asleague champions.

Middleton finished with 181 pointsand won its first Big Eight title since

2008. Sun Prairie was a distant second

with 113 points, while MadisonMemorial (76), Verona (68) andJanesville Parker (58) rounded out the

top five.It was so much fun to go to this

meet with so much confidence,Middleton coach Tara Franklin said.

In the past it was like Oh boy. Canwe pull it off? But this year, I had so

much confidence in our lineup. Wereextremely deep.

Just how deep?This is Franklins 20th season as

Middletons head coach a stint thathas seen the Cardinals win two state

championships, finish second once,and dominate the Big Eight for

But what a difference a few yearsmakes.

Middleton, mired in the middle orbottom of the Big Eight Conference

for years, cruised to the Big EightConference championship last

Tuesday at Mansfield Stadium.Amazingly, it marked the second

straight season the Cardinals won theBig Eight title.

Middleton finished with a whop-

ping 169.3 points to easily outdistancerunner-up Verona (110) and the rest ofthe conference.

Over the last few seasons,Middletons rise has been one of the

states feel-good stories in the trackand field world.

This has all been really hum-bling, said Keeler, a senior jumper

who will compete at UW-Milwaukeenext season. Just to be a team on the

rise, and coach Mez (Isaac Mezera) isjust so excited all the time. These guys

have become like family. Its just somuch fun.

When Matt Ashs foot touched home

plate, it seemed as if all the stars had

aligned on the Middleton baseball

teams road to redemption.

Ash had scored on an opposite-field

line drive by fellow senior Zach Kas-

dorf in the bottom of the sixth inning

last Thursday, scoring the go-ahead run

to put the Cardinals three outs from a

victory that would put them in the thick

of the Big Eight Conference title hunt

heading into the final week of the reg-

ular season.

A victory that would earn a measure

of revenge against the same Sun Prairie

team that had beaten them by 12 runs a

month earlier, just as Middleton had

avenged a lopsided setback to

Janesville Parker, the other team atop

the league standings.

But Middleton failed to land the

knockout punch necessary to floor a

battle-hardened team like Sun Prairie,

which has won the last two WIAA Di-

vision 1 state titles and the last four Big

Eight crowns.

And when Sun Prairie combined su-

perb two-strike hitting with astute base-running to manufacture a pair of runs

in the top of the seventh inning and

walk off with an 8-7 victory, the Mid-

dleton players could do little more than

tip their cap and turn their sights to-

wards regrouping in hopes of a strong

postseason run.Weve got to have big players make

big plays at the right times, and close

the door when we have a shot, Mid-

dleton manager Tom Schmitt said.

Theyve been in a lot of big games,

their seniors a lot of close games

at every stage of high school baseball.

So you knew they werent going away

quietly. Hopefully our kids respond

next time were in a situation like that

that we gain something from this.

Middleton (16-6, 12-4), which fell

two games behind Sun Prairie (18-4,

14-2) in the league race, showed some

moxie of its own by rallying from

deficits on three occasions to tie the

game or take the lead.

Struggling to string together hits for

the first five innings, Middleton never-

theless concocted the first runs of the

season surrendered by Sun Prairie

starter Mitch Keel with the strange

brew of a wild pitch, a fielders choice,

an intentional pickle that brought home

a runner from third base, and a two-run,

two-out error before finally hitting its

stride against reliever Sam Lund.

With the game tied, 6-6, in the bot-

tom of the sixth, Ash led off the frame

by beating out an infield single deep

into the hole at shortstop, and moved to

second base on a textbook bunt by sen-

ior centerfielder Jordan Lueck. Senior

catcher Jackson Keeler followed with a

clean single to left field on a 3-1 count,

but Ash had to slow down to allow the

ball through and held up at third base.With runners on the corners and one

out, Kasdorfs liner on a 1-1 count

scored Ash for a 7-6 Middleton lead.

Middletons girls softball teamhas overcome many obstacles during

its impressive season.Now, the Cardinals will have to

do it one more time.Middleton trailed Holmen, 3-1, in

a WIAA Division 1 regional semifi-nal Tuesday when the skies opened.

After a one-hour rain delay, the gamewas postponed until Wednesday.

The winner advances to faceeither third-seeded DeForest or 14th-

seeded Madison West Thursday.Middleton, the No. 6 seed in the

regional, scored a first inning runafter getting three straight two-out

hits. Second baseman Ashley Brooksstarted the rally with a single to left,

then catcher Amber Karn and rightfielder Abby Henke followed with

singles to left.But Holmen struck for three

unearned runs off of Middletonstarter Ashley Stormer in the second

inning. The key blow came with twoouts when Henke dropped a fly ball

in right, allowing one run to score.Samatha Schleming, Holmens

leadoff batter, followed with a two-run single to center field giving the

Vikings a 3-1 lead.It stayed that way until the rains

poured down one inning later.Middleton also completed its reg-

ular season with a pair of wins lastweek. Heres a recap of those games:

Middleton 3, Madison East 2 The Cardinals scored three fifthinning runs and toppled thePurgolders last Thursday.

Senior Darby Raffel and freshmanRachel Everson each had two hits

and senior Ashley Stormer threwcomplete-game to notch the win.

Madison East has some stronghitters, but Stormer pitched really

well, Middleton manager CherieHellenbrand said. As the game went

on the stronger she pitched.The win helped Middleton finish

the Big Eight Conference seasonwith a 13-5 record, which was good

for third place. Last season,Middleton was 9-9 in the league.

It was a great game to end ourconference season with,

Hellenbrand said. We took a fewmoments to reflect how far we have

come as a team since the start of theseason.

We have had a few losses, but totop teams. We played solid, consis-

tent softball this year and our recordreflects we are a tough team. We feel

we can go toe-to-toe with anyone. Middleton 18, Janesville

Parker 0 The Cardinals poundedout 17 hits and hammered the

Vikings in a game stopped after fiveinnings last Tuesday.

Freshman Rachel Everson had ahome run and two hits, while Darby

Raffel was 4-for-5. BiancaBockwinkel went 3-for-4, while

Katie Fermanich and Amber Karnboth had two hits.

Kelly Brown and Ashley Stormercombined to throw a shutout for the

Cardinals.Parker continues to struggle this

season, Hellenbrand said. Withthem celebrating Senior Night we

needed to set the tone right away.Our pitching staff did a great job

only giving up two hits all game.The wins left Hellenbrand and the

Cardinals confident heading to thepostseason.

All aspects of our game are look-ing good, she said. We need to

continue the foundation of soliddefense, pitching and get our timely

hits.Our team is feeling confident.

We know its playoff so we have tobring our best game every pitch.

it shows that we can reach our goals.

And now, with it being the postseason,we have three more goals to accom-

plish regional champions, sectionalchampions and state champions.

Middleton has accomplished itsgoals all year long.

The Cardinals were a perfect 9-0 inBig Eight dual meets. They finished

first at several invitationals and nowhave a conference title in their back

pocket.From here, anything seems possi-

ble.I think it was a huge confidence

booster for the guys to shoot well andwin conference, Levin said. In gen-

eral I think Brady, Emmet, Josh,Charlie, and I all know what needs to

be done to finish the year off the rightway winning state and I believe

that we all have the ability to accom-plish it. So it should be fun!

Middleton boys golf coach Tom

Cabalka has called his current groupof sophomores the most talented in

school history.Thats saying something, when you

consider the Cardinals have been statechampions four times and runners-up

once since 1997.But this spring, the sophomore trio

of Brady Thomas, Emmet Herb andJoey Levin have come into their own.

And now, the Cardinals appear readyfor a memorable postseason.

Middleton kicked the second sea-son off in style last Thursday, as its

super sophs powered them to the Big

Eight Conference title at EvansvilleGolf Club.

Middleton shot a 314 to easily out-

distance runner-up Beloit Memorial(331) and the rest of the conference.

Herb finished second individuallywith a 76, while Levin was third with

a 78 and Thomas tied for fourth at 79.I think us sophomores are dedicat-

ed to the game, Thomas said. Oncesummer hits, we all are always play-

ing together almost every day. In thewinter, we usually go to Vitense and

practice.So all year round we are all trying

to get better, so that when the first dayof practice comes around, we are

ready. We know we have gotten better,

and should be able to compete withthe best teams in the state.

Levin agreed with Thomas.

This year has been huge for ussophomores, he said. We worked

hard all winter long trying to get betterand more competitive.

Herb, Thomas and Levin all playedvarsity golf last season something

Cabalka doesnt ever remember hap-pening in the long and storied history

of Middleton golf. And all three had

solid first seasons.But each player has taken his game

to another level this spring. Thatshelped Middleton surge to the No. 1

ranking in the state and reclaim itsspot atop the conference.

I think the main thing that makesus strive to get better is each other,

Herb said. Obviously we are try tobeat our playing competitors, but it

forces you to be at the top of yourgame or they are going to beat you. I

think that this has helped us progress alot throughout the season.

Seniors Josh Haunty and CharlieStankiewicz have enjoyed terrific sea-

sons, as well, giving Middleton one ofthe states deepest and most gifted ros-

ters.Haunty, who plays No. 1, shot an

81 at conference. Stankiewicz had hisscore discarded, but hes been one of

Middletons hottest golfers, of late.Together, that quintet helped the

Cardinals achieve their first goal ofthe second season winning the

league title.It meant a lot to win out confer-

ence to play against these teams allyear and to be able to come out on

top, Herb said. Watching Veronaand Madison Memorial beat us last

year was hard to swallow. So we knewwe wanted to make our statement in

conference this year.Thomas agreed, and noted that the

conference meet is just the first of theCardinals postseason goals.

Winning the Big Eight was one ofour goals coming into this year,

Thomas said. We knew that we weregoing to be in contention to win, so we

worked hard all spring to get what we

want.That gives us confidence because

There have been moments of frus-tration this season. Times where

things didnt go according to plan.But Middletons girls soccer team

made up for it last week.The Cardinals rolled to three wins,

outscoring their foes 22-0 in theprocess.

Middleton defeated Madison East,9-0, last Monday and drubbed

Janesville Craig, 5-0, last Tuesday.The Cardinals then hammered

Madison La Follette, last Thursday.Middleton improved to 11-5-1

overall and 6-1 in the Big EightConference.

This was a power-scoring week,

Middleton coach Mary Duffy said.We needed to get our boots in con-trol, putting away our opportunities.

Middleton led, 2-0, at halftime ofits game against the Purgolders. The

Cardinals then scored four goals in thefirst 10 minutes of the second half and

took a commanding lead.Brenna Shea led Middleton with

two goals and one assist, while LeiaPeterman had one goal and one assist.

Megan Sullivan had a goal and twoassists and Alexa Jaume had one goal

and one assist.From the beginning of the game, it

was clear that we would win, but wewanted to make our mark, Duffy

said. To dominate in all aspects,score, possession, winning the 50-50

balls, communication.

These next two weeks will help us

refine our strengths and weaknessesgoing into the postseason. And we did

most of that in the first half, exceptscore.

Middleton then rolled pastJanesville Craig on Senior Night.

Before the game, the Cardinalshonored a group that included keeper

Liz McMahon; forwards Ellen Jesse,Brenna Shea and Leah Carey; mid-

fielders Caroline Keenan, Peterman,Bri Murphy and Jaume; and defenders

Liz Ihrig, Sam Andryk and Kaitlyn

Wolfinger.

Brenna Shea had a pair of goals,while Jaume, Carey and Maya Shea

all had goals, as well.Afterwards, Duffy had thoughts on

all 11 seniors.On McMahon: Liz McMahon

held the goal steady and commandedthe field. She has become more vocal

and authoritative over the season mak-ing sure we are as organized as possi-

ble.On Ihrig: Liz Ihrig swept up the

defense. She reads the game well, has

a great first touch and can rocket a

shot burning past the keepers fin-gers.

On Jaume: She is able to weavethrough opponents with her foot skills,

and did so versus Craigs defense. Shedribbled the ball into the back of the

net, similar to what she did againstEast the night before.

On Wolfinger: She stepped upinto passes to disturb Craigs rhythm,

battled for the ball and played toughagainst their forwards.

On Andryk: She has been play-

ing well all year long and has come upbig in games with key assists. And she

did that this game with strong play inthe air and distributing the balls to our

forwards and wings.On Keenan: Carol Keenan is one

of the most dynamic center mids we

have. She worked hard, won headballs and is able to play a long switchto our weakside outside mids. She is

one of our playmakers.On Jesse: She started at center

mid for this game, but usually playsup top. She worked really hard this

game, defended well and looked forour forwards running onto the

ball. She is tough, tenacious and driv-en.

On Peterman: She is our outsidemid and one of the best I have seen

since Mia Zutz (2006). Leia has lev-eled her game this year and this game

was no different. She moves the ball atwill on the wing space and has yet to

find a match who can stop her.

On Murphy: She was on the endof a cross and nailed the ball, but thekeeper made an excellent save. She

got herself in the offensive mix thisgame and put up some dangerous

opportunities either with her own footor a cross to a teammates foot for a

shot.On Shea: Brenna scored the first

goal after she was fouled in the box bya Craig defensive player in the first

minute of play. She quickly buriedthat shot and she ended the night with

a goal in the last 30 seconds of thegame as well. She works hard and has

a nose for a goal, something she hashad here at MHS for her four years of

varsity play.On Carey: She is a workhorse

with a positive attitude and great teamspirit. When she plays, you know she

is playing with heart, passion and thelove of the game and teammates.

Middleton then rolled pastMadison La Follette, as well. The

Cardinals scored four goals in eachhalf and cruised.

Peterman led the Cardinals withtwo goals.

The girls moved the ball well,through the middle, to the wings, up to

the forwards, Duffy said. It was agood dominant game.

I am proud of what the girls putforth this week. We worked through

our plan, stuck to what we wanted todo, finished the ball, and everyone

stepped up. Everyone played and ourdepth was evident.

On deck: Middleton wraps up itsregular season this week.

The Cardinals hosted MadisonMemorial Tuesday, then are at

Janesville Parker Thursday at 7 p.m.Middleton then travels to Oregon

Friday for a 7 p.m. contest.

stretches.

But after the conference meet,Franklin had no problem declaring

this her best team at MHS.Its by far our deepest and most

complete team, she said. There have

been years where were strong in cer-tain areas and weaker in others. Butthis year we have everything.

That was certainly evident at theconference meet.

Patrick had a memorable night,winning the 400-meter run in 58.59

seconds. Patrick was also second inthe 800 (2:20.36) and fourth in the 200

(27.15).We had some injuries and our

strategy changed, which is why we puther in the 400, Franklin said of

Patrick. And she did amazing. Shehad a great night.

So did senior Kayla Bauhs, whoalso scored points in three events.

Bauhs won the 300-meter hurdles

(47.35), was second in the long jump(16-6) and second in the triple jump(35-0 ).

Kaylas just really versatile forus, Franklin said. She can score

points in a lot of places.Middletons Lauren Smith was first

in the 100-meter hurdles with a lights-out time of 15.46. Cardinals teammate

Lauren Skibba was second in the sameevent (15.88).

I wasnt surprised that Lauren(Smith) won it, Franklin said. But I

dont know if anybody was expectingthat time.

The same could be said of the shotput, where sophomore Kiara Cruz fin-

ished first with a throw of 38-0 .Cruz established a personal-best

throw by nearly two-feet.She works so hard every night,

Franklin said of Cruz. She was reallygeared and ready.

So were Middletons relay teams.The 400-meter relay team of Olivia

Roberts, Hailee Milton, Celia Mayneand Anna Clear was first in 50.26 sec-

onds. The 800-meter relay team ofSmith, Milton, Roberts and Hanne

Anderson-Smith was also first(1:45.87).

Middletons quartet of Anderson-Smith, Emily Zeker, Alyssa

Lemirande and Abbey Webber wassecond in the 1,600-meter relay

(4:03.56). And Middletons 3,200-meter relay team of Meta Williams,

Jennifer Phillips, Autumn Grim andLemirande was second (10:09.08).

Middletons relay teams shined,despite missing a pair of key runners

due to injury.Again, that just speaks to our

depth, Franklin said. Thats reallyhuge in a meet like conference.

Middleton also had a second placefinish from Rachel Wians in the 1,600

(5:16.19). The Cardinals counted thirdplace showings from Hanna Docter in

the 100 (12.87) and the 400 (1:00.56);Wians in the 800 (2:23.28); and Cole

Jordee in the shot put (34-9).Emily Bergum was fourth in the

long jump (16-2 ). Middleton hadfifth place finishes from Smith in the

200 (27.15); Zeker in the 400

(1:01.30); Payton Bills in the 300-meter hurdles (49.67); and Kelly

Roach in the high jump (4-10).Docter also added a sixth place fin-

ish in the 200 (27.23).

Conference was so exciting,Patrick said. We came into confer-ence knowing that Sun Prairie was a

very strong team, but also confident inwhat we could do.

And then to win it by so much oh my gosh! It was so exciting.

showed at the conference meet,theyll be a huge threat this postsea-

son.There is no doubt we have one of

the strongest teams in the state,Mezera said. These guys just keep

doing great things.Middleton added to that list at the

conference meet, winning six of the18 events.

Winters was one of the nightsbrightest stars, winning both the 100-

and 200-meter dash.Winters broke the conference

record in the 100, winning the race in10.65 seconds. Winters also won the

200 in 22.21 seconds.It was a nice way to end my career

in conference, Winters said. In the100, I was ecstatic and very surprised.

But I still think I can go lower.Keeler, on the other hand, can go

higher. And has.Keeler, one of the states elite high

jumpers, won that event with a leap of6-feet-4. Keeler then elected to try a

jump of 6-9, which would have been anew conference record.

Keeler fell short there, but left witha conference title and a lot of opti-

mism.I still had another event to com-

pete in so I thought why not go forit, said Keeler, who set the school

record with a jump of 6-8 earlier thisseason. I could have gone up slower,

but I was trying to save my legs a littlebit.

Middleton sophomore PerrinHagge won the 800-meter run in

1:57.10, more than a full second fasterthan his nearest competitor.

Perrin works really hard and hehas a terrific constitution for distance

running, Mezera said. Hes a lot likeErnest. Hes so good that people look

up to him.Middletons 1,600-meter relay

team of R.J. Pertzborn, Zach Easton,Kyle Buechner and Travis Zander was

first in 3:28.08.Were really deep in that event,

Mezera said.

And senior Tanner Rahman wonthe discus with a throw of 154-03.

Rahman was in second place until hisfinal throw, when he unfurled a win-

ner.That was impressive, Mezera

said. That was cool.Middleton got second place finish-

es from senior Hans Kunsch in the 300meter hurdles (39.90); senor Parker

Johnson in the pole vault (13-6); sen-ior Blake Clyce in the long jump (21-

4 ); and the 800-meter relay team ofNick Bilodeau, Noah Meeteer, Zach

Easton and Winters (1:30.55).Middletons third place finishers

came from junior Travis Zander in the400 (51.36); junior Roger Waleffe in

the 800 (1:58.75); Hagge in the 1,600(4:22.80); senior Andrew Torresani in

the shot put (48-3); Meeteer in thepole vault (12-0); sophomore Jack

Jesse in the long jump (20-9 );Keeler in the triple jump (42-5); and

both the 400- and 3,200-meter relayteams.

Junior Nnamdi Okoli was fourth inthe 100 (11.05) and Kunsch was

fourth in the 110-meter hurdles(15.56). Christian Lindblom was also

fifth in the 1,600 (4:35.49).Its been so great to see this team

grow, Winters said. We all have onecommon goal and were really hungry

for it. So far, its been a great year.Keeler agreed.

To be part of this team the last fewyears, as weve grown and gotten bet-

ter, has been so much fun, Keelersaid. Now we just have to keep it

going.

BOYS TRACK continued from page 10

GIRLS TRACK continued from page 10GOLFERS continued from page 10team is among the favorites to

win the WIAA Division 1 state title.

Stankiewicz averaged 86 a yearago and simply wasnt consistent

enough to win a spot on Middletonsvarsity. But hes lowered his average

to 78 this year and has been a huge

reason for the Cardinals success.Last year was very frustrating,

said Stankiewicz, who plays out of the

No. 5 position. But I worked reallyhard on my game last summer and

especially this winter. And I came intothe year really confident that I was at

the level I needed to be at.Stankiewicz was certainly at that

level Tuesday.Stankiewicz made a 10-foot birdie

putt at No. 4. He also knocked home a15-foot uphill birdie putt at No. 15.

Stankiewicz stayed out of troublethe rest of his round and bested the

other 39 golfers in the field.Were lucky that we have five

solid players, Cabalka said. Thats aluxury that most teams dont have.

I think at some point this year,every one of our guys has ben our top

scorer and maybe the high scorer, too.So we have five guys that all make a

difference.

Middleton sophomore BradyThomas shot a 1-under-par 35 on hisfirst nine and finished with a 77,

which was good for a fourth place tie.Cardinals senior Josh Haunty who

plays No. 1 also shot 77 and tiedfor fourth.

Middleton also counted an 80 fromsophomore Joey Levin, which was

good for 12th place overall.The cool thing about this team is

that at any given time one of us canmedal, Stankiewicz said. And were

all good friends and hang out sothat makes it even more fun.

Middleton now advances to theBaraboo Sectional Tuesday. The

Cardinals will enter as the favorites,but Cabalka knows his team will have

to be at its best to reach the state tour-nament June 9-10.

Its one of those courses that isntterribly demanding, Cabalka said.

But you have to play good smart

golf.I like where were at right now

and like how were playing. All of our

kids are averaging in the 70s and Imreally comfortable with the lineup. We

just have to keep it going.

Middletons Home Talent Leagueteam won a pair of games over

Memorial Day weekend.

Middleton defeated Cazenovia,11-1, in eight innings on Sunday.Middleton also routed Black Earth,

18-2, in a seven inning gameMonday.

Middleton pounded out 35 hits inthe two games and outscored its two

foes, 29-3.

Overall, it was a great weekendfor us, Middleton manager Brandon

Hellenbrand said.Middleton struck for five runs in

the second inning against CazenoviaSunday.

A.J. Redders singled to bringhome the first run, then Brandon

Scheidler had a three-run double.Middleton added three more runs

in the third, as Redders, Drew Farrelland Scheidler all had RBI. Middleton

also added single runs in the fourth,fifth and eighth innings to pull away.

Eric Simon pitched seven stronginnings to notch the win. Simon

allowed just five hits and struck outthree.

Eric really did a great job keep-ing Caz off balance, Hellenbrand

said. He threw strikes and madethem get themselves out.

Middleton continued its offensiveonslaught Monday, striking for six

runs in the second inning. JoshHinson had the key blow with a

three-run home run.Middleton added two runs in the

fourth and six more in the fifth.Scheidlers three-run home run in the

fifth was the key blow there.Middleton added four more runs

in the sixth and cruised to an easywin.

Drew Farrell pitched all seveninnings, allowing just one earned run,

six hits and struck out three.Drew did an excellent job going

right at the hitters, Hellenbrand said.He worked the ball in and out really

well and kept his pitches down.Scheidler went 5-for-9 in the two

games with two doubles, a home runand nine RBI. Hinson was 4-for-9

with a double, a home run and fiveRBI.

Redders and Kevin Dubler bothadded four hits.

Our bats really came alive,Hellenbrand said. Even when we

were making outs we were hitting theball hard.

HTL team cruises to easy winsby ROB REISCHEL

He throws pretty hard, so we were

saying you want to hit the pitch you can

drive dont swing at the high pitch

that he likes throwing a lot, Kasdorf

said.

Senior first baseman Alex Elliott

then smashed a single to left field

Middletons fourth hit of the inning.

Keeler gambled against the arm of Sun

Prairie left field Michael Marchese and

lost, thrown out easily at the plate while

attempting to score from second base.Kasey Miller drew a full-count walk

to load the bases, and senior second

baseman Luke Schafer also went 3-2

before tapping a slow groundout to sec-

ond base that ended the threat.

When they took the lead, I heard

some of our seniors say, This is not

done, guys weve got to get this

one, Sun Prairie coach Rob Hamilton

said.

Miller (6-0) had battled through the

potent Sun Prairie lineup for six in-

nings, surviving his own early wildness

the senior hit batters in each of the

first four innings and a line drive off

his left ankle in addition to a series of

jams, stranding eight runners while

amassing 108 pitches.Schmitt felt he had pressed Miller as

far as he could and called on senior

Brennan Maly in the top of the seventh.

Maly plunked the leadoff batter,

Ryan Curran, who had terrorized Mid-

dleton with eight RBIs in their first

meeting, but had been held hitless in

three at-bats against Miller.

Playing for the tie, Hamilton in-

structed junior second baseman Coby

Oswalt to bunt, but Maly walked him

on five pitches. Maly foiled pinch-hitter

Noah Hendricks bunt attempt by field-

ing it cleanly and firing to third base to

retire the lead runner, but walked No. 9

batter Justin Krebs on five pitches to

load the bases.

A classic duel ensued, with Sun

Prairies Conner Funnell fouling off

four two-strike pitches before lofting a

sacrifice fly to deep center field that

easily brought home Oswalt with the

tying run.

Maly also went toe-to-toe with the

next batter, Marchese, who fouled off a

pair of two-strike pitches, before send-

ing a bouncer to the right side that he

barely beat out. Elliott, Middletons

first baseman, fell to the dirt with his

back to the plate as he stretched for the

throw. That allowed Lund, who had

come on as a courtesy runner for Hen-dricks, to race all the way home from

second base for an 8-7 Sun Prairie ad-

vantage.

Elliott regrouped to throw out Krebs

at third base, but the damage had been

done. Lund retired Middleton in order

in the bottom of the seventh to all but

eliminate it from the Big Eight race.

I dont think you can take it as a

negative, Miller said of the loss.

Theyre a great team, a great hitting

team, and theyre so solid defensively.

To be put in the position to win the

game, you cant really do much more.

Weve just got to finish. Its a tough

one, but weve just got to move on now,

into the playoffs.

After a trip to Janesville Craig onTuesday, Middleton closes out Big

Eight play Thursday at home against

Madison La Follette, then hosts a Sat-

urday doubleheader against Kimberly

at 10 a.m. and D.C. Everest at 3 p.m.

before starting the WIAA playoffs.

The Cardinals are seeded No. 2 in

their own sectional and open the post-

season with a regional final June 5

against either seventh-seeded Wauna-

kee or 10th-seeded Tomah.

Yeah, youre playing for a confer-

ence championship, but everybody

wants to make that trip to Appleton.Weve got to string three good games

in a row in the postseason to get there,

Schmitt said.

Thats our goal now, is to get refo-

cused after this game as upsetting or

heartbreaking as it was. We cant dwell

on it. Weve got to get back at it. And I

think these guys will. They understand

the game. This was one game, getting

us ready for June 5.

Middleton 9, Verona 3 Senior

catcher Jackson Keeler had four hits to

power the Cardinals past the Wildcats

last Tuesday.

Joe Ludwig and Luke Schafer both

had two hits for Middleton, as well.

Garrett Knudtson allowed 10 hits,

but went the distance for the win.

Middletons girls lacrosse team hada stellar week, going 2-1 overall.

The Cardinals lost to Verona, 13-10, last Tuesday. But Middleton

rebounded with an 11-3 win overMadison La Follette last Wednesday

and toppled Waunakee, 11-9, lastThursday.

A great week in terms of building

momentum for the last regular seasongame and postseason play, Middletoncoach Anne Gravel said.

Riley Peters had nine total goals inthe games against Verona and

Waunakee. Lucy Bergenthal hadseven goals over three games, while

Abby Drake and Abby Hudson bothadded five goals.

Middletons defense has alsoimproved dramatically in recent

weeks.

Emily Oberwetter, LauraOberwetter and Josie Johnson whocall themselves the D-Squad have

helped key the Cardinals defensiveimprovement. Others such as Maegan

Sheehan, Gabby Ballweg and StephJarosz have been huge, as well.

Defense is undoubtedly our mostimproved aspect of play, Gravel

said. The defense led the way for usthis week.
