It was really fun! said Stephanie Sutton, director and owner of Move Out Loud. It
was the biggest crowd we've ever performed for, and the kids were incredible. Before halftime, they were a mix of nervous and excited. Of course after they danced, they said it felt
like it went by in a flash, and they wanted to do it again.
It didn't feel like 43 dancers, she added. It felt like one team.

City council rejects traffic study TIF

by CamerOn Bren
Times-Tribune
The Middleton City Council

has rejected a recommendation
by the plan commission to finance half of a traffic study with
tax increment financing (TIF)
funds that is required for a proposed redevelopment of Old
Middleton Center to move forward.
The plan commission made
the recommendation because of
the scope of the development
and the information that could
be used by the city regardless of
whether the development comes
to fruition or not, supporters of
the funding contended.
The plan commissions recommendation was to fund up
$26,500, half the cost of traffic
impact analysis (TIA) that covers 14 high volume intersections. As per city ordinance the
TIA is financed by the developer of a proposed project
In August the Middleton Plan
Commission granted concept
approval todeveloper Uptown
Middleton, a sub-tier LLC of T.
Wall enterprises for the Uptown Middleton proposal, a
complete rebuild of Old Middleton Centre on the block of
Terrace Ave., Parmenter St., and
Hubbard Ave.
The proposed development
features seven mixed-use buildings with more than 200 residential units, 62,000 sq. ft. of
commercial and office space,
and 380 parking stalls including
underground parking.
Alder Hans Hilbert, vicechair of the plan commission,
opened up the councils discussion on funding the traffic study
through TIF.
It is atypical that the city

would get involved with a TIA
at this level, but it is also atypical that a TIA that the city
would requires involves 14
major intersections and have an
effect on a major business sector of the city, he said. I relate
it a lot to the parking study that
was done numerous times for
the downtown area. We would
have never required one entity
downtown to pay for a study
like that. I think the last one
was $40 to $50 thousand dollars.
Hilbert reiterated the plan
commissions notion that the
city would benefit from the
study for other future developments.
I think there is so much benefit of the information we could
get out of this study that I think
it could be justified that the city
pay for it totally, he said. We
cant do it in house, but can
value the information we are
going to get out of it and have
an opportunity to pay half of it
and still get the same benefit.
City planning director eileen
Kelley pointed out another exception to this case was the
proximity to a lot of regional
traffic being very near to the intersection of University and the
Beltline.
Alder Gurdip Brar said he
met with city staff before the
meeting to ask if the city had
any plans to do a downtown

traffic study before the proposal
for the development and they
told him no. He said he then
asked if the city has ever done
something similar for any other
developer and the answer was
also no.
If we do for this one would
we doing for the other developers as well? Brar asked. I
dont know the answer, but if
we are doing this, then we
should do the same for Jacob
Klein or anyone else that comes
and asks for it and I think this is
a can of worms and will vote
against it and dont think we
should even touch it.
Hilbert said while it hasnt
been done for one particular de-
veloper, similar downtown

studies have been financed by
the city that have benefitted
other commercial entities.
Alder Mike Sullivan compared the development to other
similar downtown developments such as Tribeca Village
and the planned Meriter Medical Campus which the city did
not help fund a traffic study. He
also asked if the city had any
guidelines for cases such as
this. Planning director Kelley
said there isnt.
I cant imagine where anything coming out of here is
going to help the city very much
in the long run other than it is
going to help the developer,
alder Howard Teal commented.
It is going to cut his cost in half

when he is required by our ordinance to pay for it.
Sullivan followed up asking
what specifically the developer
was responsible according to
city ordinance and what if any
part of that lies outside that in
the study. ShawnStauske, public works director, said there
was nothing more than what the
city required in the proposed
TIA and that a few intersections
were actually taken out.
Hilbert made a motion to approve paying one-half the cost
of the TIA for the Middleton
Center Project with TID #3
funds. The motion failed 2-5
with alders Brar, Giosta, Teal,
West, and Sullivan opposed.
Though the city rejected

funding half of the required traffic study they approved a grant
application the city must submit
to WeDC for assistance on developments with ground contamination for the project.
WeDC provides grants of up
to $150,000 to local governments seeking to redevelop sites
with economic or community
development potential that are
or may be adversely impacted
by environmental contamination. State statute requires the
local government to contribute
at least 20 percent of the grant

50th Annual Conference &
expo, You Aint Seen Nothing
Yet last week.
The five-day event included
more than 70 educational sessions, pre-conference institutes,
trade show with over 135 vendors, and leadership meetings
featuring programs and speakers that addressed a number of
pressing social issues including
alternative funding sources for
park and recreation operations,
youth/senior programming, diagnostic protocols, supervisory
and administrative techniques,
and legislative issue updates.
On Thursday, November 5
delegates to the Conference participated in a special Awards

Banquet where Lucille Taylor
was the recipient of the State
Associations
Fellowship
Award, the highest award
given to a layperson in recognition of outstanding service to
the parks and recreation profession and to their community.
Taylor shared a vision and a
promise to the City of Middleton, bequeathing the majority of
her life estate to help plan, design, and construct a new community park facility for the city.
Her gift to the city was
pledged in several parts. An initial donation of $100,000 was
made in 2014 to fund the large
custom playground, park entry
signs, and park master plan design.
Her generosity also
prompted other community
members to rise to the occasion,
and the park has now garnered
a great deal of attention and additional funding.

In the spirit of public open
space supporters, Taylor was selected as the Honorary Fellowship Award recipient for 2015 in
recognition of her outstanding
contributions to the City of
Middleton and the creation of
the Harvey John and Lucille
Taylor Memorial Park.
WPRA is a statewide, nonprofit service organization dedicated to extending the social,
health, cultural and economic

Sipsma fills in as chair during budget review

by miCHaeL Drew
Times-Tribune
The Town of Westport heard

further details on the upcoming
town budget from board administrator Tom Wilson on November 2 ahead of the towns
upcoming budget meeting, indicating that the budget should
stay level with where it has
been, though the mill rate may
increase by a small percentage.
Kenneth Sipsma temporarily

filled the Chairman role the
night of November 2 as chairman John Van Dinter was out
due to a family health emergency. The board heard the update from administrator Wilson,
which did not include specific
numbers for a mill rate, but did
include the information that the
rate was going to remain largely
flat, with a potential small increase to account for service
rate changes and completed

projects throughout the township.
The Westport Town Board
also revisited the service that
Bill Von Rutenberg had provided during public comments,
and lamented the upcoming loss
of him as a town supervisor.
Bill Von Rutenberg has been
a board member since April 9 of
1997 and I believe tonight, unless something goes crazy with
the land deal, is going to be his

last night. commented Wilson,
In my opinion, Bill has been a
remarkable town board member, and weve been awful
lucky and I really dont know to
replace the experience and
knowledge, but we have to
move on.
Rutenberg was said to be
moving out of the township entirely, and pending any unforeseen circumstances, plans to be
out of the township before the

second board meeting in November.
Other supervisors echoed
Wilsons comments, though a
brief update to the board indicated that some applicants had
come forward to fill the vacancy until the end of Von
Rutenbergs current term.
The board did table a discussion on a potential town finan-
cial contribution to the Cherokee Marsh Carp Removal Project, pending a presentation from
an advocate for the project.
The meeting was adjourned
by unanimous vote called by supervisor Rutenberg after the
board heard miscellaneous updates from the town Administrator and paid the towns
outstanding bills.

grant sources.
Alder Gurdip Brar asked city staff if this would involve
their time and if the city would be on the hook for the 20
percent.
City attorney Larry Bechler said if the development
qualifies for the the grant there will be another agreement
between the city and the developer on financing the matching fund. Sullivan noted that finance committee already
decided that if the grant were awarded the city would require developer cover all matching funds.

ETC names Cymbalak new COO
Middleton-based lighting and rigging

manufacturer eTC (electronic Theatre
Controls, Inc.) recently named Julie Cymbalak as the companys new chief operating officer.
The position was created in response to
eTCs continuing growth and expansions
into new markets, with Cymbalak now
having a greater focus on business operations, organization, and employee resources. In this new role, she will be
responsible for operations management
and will identify new areas of employee
services, resources and benefits.
Cymbalak earned a bachelor of science
from BJU in 1987. In June 1991, she
joined eTC, working as an accounting assistant and taking on the accounts payable
and personnel functions of the company.
In 1993, eTC was growing quickly, and

the need to separate Accounting from the
Personnel department became apparent.
Julie became the Personnel manager and
built the HR department from the ground
up to include recruiting, orientation, payroll, benefits, performance management,
and health and safety. She also wrote the
eTC employee Manual and associated
policies, procedures and forms, as well as
the eTC Manager Handbook and training
programs.
When eTC restructured the company in
1997, in her role as HR director, Cymbalak took on other duties outside of the
HR department. In 1998, she was promoted to the position of vice president of
HR to oversee global HR functions, including eTCs international offices. Over
the next few years, her role expanded to

include the Administrative Services, IT,
Facilities and Legal departments, building
and PIT projects, and international management training. Cymbalak has a staff of
managers who support all aspects of
global employee services and the general
managers at each international eTC office.
eTC CeO Fred Foster says of the promotion: Julie embodies the ethics and
culture of eTC, and Im confident that she
will continue to protect the heart and soul
of our employees while evolving our culture as we grow.

added costs due to poor soils as

it has done for many of the surrounding business developments.
The $300,000 will be used
for soil surcharging for the
building site as well as site
work and geo-grid installation
for parking lot stabilization.
City staff and committees deem
the costs eligible for assistance
under state statute and in accordance with the project plan of
the TIF district, they said.
Primrose School of Middleton will be a private child care
center and preschool for approximately 186 children and
employ about 24 teachers and
other staff. It is also anticipated
to add $2,123,847 in additional
property value.
The Middleton-Cross Plains
Area School District reached
out to the city when they heard
about the proposal and said
there had concerns about a private school getting public assis-
tance since it will potentially

take students out of the district
and the corresponding state
funding. The plan commission
previously approved the TIF
agreement contingent on an
agreement between Primrose
and the local school district.
Primrose franchise owner
Mark Kienbaum asked the
council to support the Primrose
School agreement for assistance
during the public comment period. The agreement he made
with the district was that they
would only provide daycare and
no schooling for any students
beyond four-year-old kindergarten.
City council president initially Susan West made a motion to defer approval until the
council could review the agreement between Primrose and
MCPAD but the motion failed
two to five.
Are you intending to impose
on a side agreement between
parties? alder Mark Sullivan

asked West. What do you
hope to see out of the agreement?
I want to see the agreement
before I vote on it, West
replied.
Isnt it enough to know that
there is an agreement? Why do
you need to see it? Sullivan
pursued. The city has no
standing to get in the middle of
their agreement other than to
know that there is one to the satisfaction of both parties.
City attorney Larry Bechler
clarified that the prior action has
been to approve but not have
the agreement executed until
the agreement between the district and Primrose was provided
to the city.
And Im not going to sign
anything until that happens,
Mayor Kurt Sonnentag intervened. Thats the plan anyway.
A motion to approve the TIF
request passed six to one contingent upon city attorney approval of both agreements.
Superintendent Don Johnson
said they came up came up with
agreement that worked for all
parties. He explained that the
agreement commits Primrose to
only provide daycare and 4K
now and in perpetuity.
He noted that possible subsequent owners will also be bound
by the same agreement.
If the agreement is breached
the $300,000 in TIF funds will
have to be paid back in full
and Primrose must cease and
desist to stop functioning as a
school, he said.
Johnson said Primrose
worked cooperatively with the
district. He said they even
agreed to pay the districts attorney fees in the process.
We believe they are moving
forward in good faith and we
are happy to support that,
Johnson said.

minating in an agreement for

Clean Fuel to purchase the
biodigester in Dane County.
Closing is expected to occur as
quickly as reasonably practicable, subject to necessary consents
and
contractual
assignments.
Clean Fuels plans involve
extending the recovery process,
PHarmaCY
bringing the facility to its design

capability and looking for additional opportunities to enhance
the business while protecting
the environment. The company
will explore recovering more
nutrients from manure through
the use of a nutrient concentration system. This proven technology will reduce phosphorous
by100 percent from cow manure.

Parisi has been calling for the
sale of the Waunakee digester
for months. Dane County owns
the land and the water quality
equipment but the site is privately operated on lease from
the county. The site consists of
digesters and generators to cre-
ate energy. Cow manure is

processed in three air-tight digester tanks. The tanks are
heated to about 100 degrees
just like a cows stomach. Bacteria in manure thrives in these
conditions, and they consume
solids in the manure while releasing methane gas. Instead of
being released into the atmos-
phere, the methane is captured

at the top of the digester and
burned in a generator to create
electricity. Because of the
methane released by untreated
manure, the digester also reduces greenhouse gas emissions
equivalent to the CO2 emissions for over 4,000 cars every
year.

Community Pharmacy opened its new Middleton location at 6333 University Avenue on October 12.
Jackie Nikolaus, a 28-year-staff
member at Communitys Pharmacys flagship location in
downtown Madison and the
source of much of the enthusiasm behind its new Middleton
locations energy. The pharmacy, which opened its doors at
6333 University Avenue on October 12, strived to marry Western and eastern medicines, and
to find a beneficial union between traditional and complimentary treatments so that
each customer can make her or
his own choices about what
works best.
While it was always a perfect
fit for a college town like Madison, it was not until recently
that Middleton, a suburb that for

years was known for its proliferation of chain restaurants and
office buildings rather than
quirky, locally owned endeavors, was ready to embrace Community Pharmacys philosophy.
But things are changing in
the Good Neighbor City, and
people are noticing. When
Willy Street Cooperative
opened its Willy West location on University Avenue in
Middleton a few years ago, it
quickly became the very model
of a thriving local co-op.
Nikolaus said Willy Wests
success was just one of several
examples that Middleton was
now the right place for a new
Community Pharmacy location.

This is something the staff
dreamed of for many years,
she explains.
everyone who works at
Community Pharmacy is used
to wearing multiple proverbial
hats. Staff members are well
versed in the latest (and the
most ancient) alternative treatments. But it is also a licensed
pharmacy, where customers can
go to fill their doctors latest
prescriptions. And it is a place
where customers develop special bonds with a staff they
grow to know and trust, Nikolaus says.
Were locally owned and independent, she continues.
And our specialty is customer
service, as well as complimentary and mainstream medicine.
It all started in 1972, when
the first Community Pharmacy
opened in Madison. Its goal was

simple: to provide affordable
medicine, primarily for University of Wisconsin students.
That, laments Nikolaus,
was before the insurance companies took over. That was before Big Pharma.
When I started in 1985, it
was almost like a war, she
adds. People either believed in
traditional medicine or what we
now call complimentary medicine. Our philosophy has always been that these things can
co-exist with each other, and
they should.
So at Community Pharmacys Middleton location,
shoppers can compare ancient
Chinese liniments with modern
American ointments. They can
pick up dandelion root tea, get
what they need to make their
own herbal supplements, and
Pharmacist Jessica Kannemeier offering explains both Eastern and Western options for pain relief.

fill prescriptions. And the staff

says the communitys response
to its new pharmacy has been
universally positive.
every single person has
been insanely supportive,
Nikolaus says with a chuckle.
And its obnoxious how excited I am about this place.
While the Madison store has
countless attributes, the Middleton offshoot has its own charms,
she explains.
Location, location, location, she says. We have a
huge parking lot, and we love
our landlord.
Its very exciting to be cocreating this environment, she
says. The people who work

here do everything. Theres no
corporate board to answer to, no
stockholders; people are very
invested.
And while Community Pharmacy sells thousands of items
designed to cure or treat a vast
array of ailments, Nikolaus believes it can also serve as the antidote to an ailing healthcare
system in the United Sates.
Our healthcare system right
now is not a healthcare system,
she says. People get 10 minutes with a doctor then theyre
out. You can see in peoples
eyes how much they appreciate
being heard.

Boys spikers headed back to state

Middleton tops
Blackshirts in
sectional final
by rOB reiSCHeL
Times-Tribune
The doubters certainly outweighed the believers.

Middletons boys volleyball
team had to replace half of its
starting lineup from 2014 this
season. The Cardinals then lost
senior middle blocker Jordan
Futch one of the top players
in the state to injury before
the year even began.
Suddenly, Middletons task
of returning to the state tournament looked dicey.
Dont look now, but the
Cardinals are back.
Middleton qualified for the
WIAA state tournament last
week for the eighth time since
2002. The Cardinals face New
Berlin United Friday at 3 p.m.
in a state quarterfinal at
Wisconsin Lutheran College in
Milwaukee.
The state semifinals and

finals are Saturday.
Im more excited to be
going back than I am surprised, Middleton senior outside hitter Kevin McMahon
said. When we heard Jordan
would be out for the year we
knew it would be a big loss,
but Cole Spitler has stepped up
a lot this year to help us deal
with losing Jordan.
I think this team is pretty
close to one another and that
has helped us deal with all the
losses we have had to deal
with.
Middleton has had several
players step up to help compensate for the loss of Futch.
Blake Sprecher, one of the
top middle blockers in the
state, has had a huge senior
year. McMahon has been terrific as the Cardinals go-to
player on the outside.
Pace Balster, a senior middle blocker, and junior middle
hitter Spitler have had big seasons. Others like sophomore
libero Thomas Robson, junior

Middleton wins
title, heads to
state on a high
by rOB reiSCHeL
Times-Tribune
They are the sectional

champions once again.
Now, Middletons girls
swimming and diving team
will bring one of the best units
in school history to state.
Middleton won its own
sectional with 371 points last
Saturday, narrowly edging
Verona-Mount Horeb (368).
Madison Memorial was third
(320), while Madison West
(312.5) and Sun Prairie
(224.5) rounded out the top
five.
From start to finish, it was
one fantastic race after another, Middleton coach Lauren
Cabalka said. We knew we
didn't have a ton of room to
move up from where we were
seeded and other teams did
and they would be chasing us
down.
We needed to make sure
we held our place and moved
up wherever we could. The
girls showed an incredible
amount of grit and determination throughout the meet and
fought as hard as I have ever
seen them fight. In the end, we
did just enough to win the
meet. This certainly was not
our top goal but we knew we
were capable of winning.
Middletons quartet of
freshman Hannah Aegerter,
senior Samatha Roll, sophomore Caroline Hippen and
freshman Cora Mack won the
400-yard freestyle relay
(3:30.0). That foursome is
now seeded first at state.
Middletons 200-yard medley relay team of senior
Victoria Lin, senior emma
Karbusicky,
sophomore
Chiara Pierobon-Mays and
freshman Makenna Licking
was second at sectionals
(1:46.97). That quartet is now
seeded third at state.
And the foursome of Mack,
Aegerter, Roll and sophomore
Caroline Hippen was third at
sectionals (1:36.86) and is
seeded fourth at state.
Middleton had plenty of
individual success, as well.
Karbusicky was second in
the 100-yard breaststroke
(1:05.63) and is seeded sixth
at state.
Hippen was second in the
200-yard freestyle (1:54.01),
while Mack was third
(1:54.28) and Roll was fifth
(1:55.10). Hippen is seeded
seventh at state, Mack is seeded eighth and Roll is seeded
10th.
Aegerter was second in the
200-yard IM (2:08.35), while
Licking was fourth (2:13.77).
Aegerter is now seeded 11th
at state.
Aegerter was also second
in the 500-yard freestyle,

Middletons Jesse
Track and
field star picks
Notre Dame
by rOB reiSCHeL
Times-Tribune
Jack Jesse began turning

heads last spring, with a
record-setting track and field
season.
Jesse set a Middleton High
School record with a leap of
23 feet, 2 inches in the long
jump. He finished fifth at state
in that same event.
Jesses brilliant season
drew the attention of coaches
near and far. And after a hectic
few months trying to determine his future, Jesse recently
gave a verbal commitment to
Notre Dame.
Jesse was expected to sign
his national letter of intent on
Wednesday.
I'm extremely excited to
get down to Notre Dame next

fall and begin training with the
team, Jesse said. And
although my attention is still
focused on mine and my
friends final year of high
school track, this serves as just
one more motivation to train
hard until that time comes.
effort has never been an
issue for Jesse.
Jesse was a solid contributor his first two years in the
track and field program. Jesse
was third in the long jump at
the Big eight Conference meet
as a sophomore (20-9 ), but
didnt get out of regionals that
season.
Jesse had a breakout junior
year, though, and caught the
eyes of recruiters across the
country.
Jesse, a terrific student,
drew interest from several
schools in the Ivy League and
the Big Ten Conference. He
also communicated with
Stanford of the Pac 10
Conference and some military

schools.
eventually, Jesse took official visits to Notre Dame, the
University of Wisconsin,
Princeton and the University
of Pennsylvania.
Shortly thereafter, his decision became crystal clear.
It took only a couple days
for my parents and I to make
the final decision, Jesse said.
Although I had had a lot of
fun and was impressed by
every school, Notre Dame was
the best option for me when
every factor was considered.
The academics are fantastic and I that was probably my
first priority. But beyond that,
the guys on the team are great
athletes and even nicer guys.
Jesse also bonded quickly
with Fighting Irish head coach
Alan Turner and jumps coach
Jim Garnham, which played a
major role in his decision.
When Jesse added it all up,
Notre Dame made the most
sense.
They really value and care
about me, and I appreciate that
support a lot, Jesse said of
Dames
coaches.
Notre
Additionally, coming from a
sport-intensive school like
Middleton has taught me to
appreciate other athletes
beyond those in my sport, so
it's nice to be going to a school
with competitive major sports
like football, basketball and
hockey.
I really want to thank the
Middleton High School track
and field program and all of its
coaches for everything they've
given me. And I've got to give
a shoutout to my team as well
because they've made high
school track the time of my
life. As clich as it may sound,
we really are like a family.

Football Cards land 17 on all-conference team

by rOB reiSCHeL
Times-Tribune
Middletons football team

enjoyed a memorable year on
the field.
And the Cardinals reaped
the benefits off the field, as
well, when it came time for
postseason honors.
Middleton, the outright Big
eight Conference champion,
had 17 players named allleague. That was more than any
other school in the conference.
Middleton had 10 players
named first-team all-conference, two were named secondteam and five earned honorable-mention all-conference
honors.
Junior safety Joe Ludwig
led Middletons first-team honorees and was named the Big
eights Defensive Back of the
Year. Senior Cody Markel was
the only player in the league
named first-team all-conference at two positions, earning
honors at both tight end and
defensive end.
Middletons other first-team
all-conference players were
senior offensive lineman
Kamon ennis and KaJuan
Redus, senior running back
Cam Maly, senior quarterback
Brennan Schmitt, senior defensive tackle Saygo Henderson,
senior inside linebacker Garrett
Graf and junior return specialist C.J. Fermanich.

Middletons second-team
all-conference players were
senior wide receiver Mitch
Bacon and junior outside linebacker Caleb Cymbalek. And
the Cardinals honorable mention all-conference selections
included senior offensive lineman William Braxton, senior
defensive backs Kevin Ripp
and Griffin Gussel, senior
defensive end Mitch Andrews
and Fermanich, who also was
honored at cornerback.
Ludwig, one of the top juniors in the state, had a big year
with five interceptions, the second-most in the league.
Ludwig was second on the
team with 77 total tackles,
added seven passes defensed
and had two tackles for loss.
Joe Ludwig was our best
defensive back, Middleton
coach Tim Simon said. Hes
an extremely skilled and athletic player. He fills like a middle
linebacker and covers passes
like a cover corner.
Markels ability to play both
ways at a high level was
extremely impressive.
Defensively, Markel finished second in the conference
with seven sacks, added eight
tackles for loss, seven passes
defensed and had with 35 total
tackles.
Offensively, Markel had 16
catches for 211 yards, five

touchdowns and added one
two-point conversion catch.
Cody Markel is one of the
best players on our team,
Simon said. A great leverage
and lockout player. We believe
hes the best defensive end in
the conference and area.
Cody also led the league
for true tight ends in receiving
yards. He is an outstanding
blocker on the edge and receiver. A great team leader with a
high football I.Q.
Middleton had one of the
areas smallest offensive lines,
but the unit still played at a
high level. ennis and Redus
were two huge reasons why.
ennis was the biggest lineman of the bunch (6-0, 262)
and could be dominant in the
run game and equally efficient
in pass pro. Redus was an
undersized guard (5-8, 215)
who won with quickness,
leverage, sheer strength and
tenacity.
Kamon ennis was our best
offensive lineman on a team
that went 8-1, Simon said.
Outstanding drive blocker and
extremely good at pass protection. Big, athletic and strong
player.
KaJuan was a first-team
all-conference player last year
and he was every bit as good

INSIDE LINEBACKERS
OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS
Middleton senior running back Cam Maly was named firstteam all-Big Eight Conference.
FOOtBaLL
this year. Very powerful blocker, trap blocker and great pass
blocker. He is one of the best in
the area.
Maly finished the year with
1,003 rushing yards, led all
running backs in the league
with 16 touchdowns and averaged 5.6 yards per carry. Maly
also did his damage in just
seven full games, missing the
Beloit Memorial game with
injury and sitting out the second half of two blowouts.
He didnt need much
space, Simon said. If you can
get him a crease, something
good is usually going to happen.
Schmitt surprised many by
winning the quarterbacking job
this summer, then had a memorable season.
Schmitt completed 100 of
165 passes (60.6%) for 1,318
yards. He also threw 13 touchdowns and four interceptions.
Schmitts completion percentage led the conference and
he also led the league in quarterback rating (102.0).
Brennan led our conference championship team with a
most balanced offense, Simon
said. extremely accurate,
intelligent, high football I.Q.
Henderson was one of the
most explosive interior defensive linemen around. He finished the year with 37 total
tackles, 4.5 sacks and four
tackles for loss.
Saygo is an extremely
quick and explosive nose tackle, Simon said. He gave fits
to centers and guards all year
long.
Graf led the Cardinals in
tackles with 102. Graf also had
nine tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks,
one forced fumble and was the
leader of Middletons defense.
Garrett was our best defensive player, Simon said. We
believe he is one of the best
defensive players in the conference and the area.
Fermanich was an elite
return man, averaging 18.1
yards on his 10 punt returns
and 33.7 yards per kickoff
return. Fermanich also had a

pair of return touchdowns
one on punts and another on
kickoffs.
Fermanich was also a solid
cover corner who was often left
on an island by Middletons
coaching staff. He finished the
year with 58 total tackles, one
interception that he returned
for a touchdown, 12 passes
defensed and one blocked kick.
C.J. was a dynamic playmaker and one of the best athletes on the field, Simon said.
He was the best and most dangerous return man in the Big
eight.
C.J. was also our cover
corner. He is talented enough
that he rarely got extra help. He
is one of the best cornerbacks
in the conference.
Bacon led Middleton in
receptions (32) and receiving
yards (423). He also finished
with three touchdowns.
Cymbalak played both
strongside and weakside linebacker, and often lined up
against opponents spread
receivers. Cymbalak excelled
and finished the year with 56
total tackles, two tackles for
loss, one sack, one forced fumble and three passes defensed.
Braxton was an undersized,
but extremely efficient center.
In fact, Simon made the case
that Braxton was the best center in the league, before settling
for honorable-mention honors.
Braxtons greatest strength was
his pass protection, but he was
extremely efficient in the run
game, too.
Defensive backs Ripp and
Gussel both had impressive
seasons.
Ripp finished the year with
69 total tackles, three passes
defensed, one interceptions and
0.5 sacks. Gussel finished the
year with 32 total tackles, two
interceptions and one tackle for
loss.
Andrews was a terrific
bookend to Markel, finishing
with six sacks, one interception
and 14 total tackles.

The doubters certainly outweighed the believers.

Middletons boys volleyball
team had to replace half of its
starting lineup from 2014 this
season. The Cardinals then lost
senior middle blocker Jordan
Futch one of the top players
in the state to injury before
the year even began.
Suddenly, Middletons task
of returning to the state tournament looked dicey.
Dont look now, but the
Cardinals are back.
Middleton qualified for the
WIAA state tournament last
week for the eighth time since
2002. The Cardinals face New
Berlin United Friday at 3 p.m.
in a state quarterfinal at
Wisconsin Lutheran College in
Milwaukee.
The state semifinals and
finals are Saturday.
Im more excited to be
going back than I am surprised, Middleton senior outside hitter Kevin McMahon
said. When we heard Jordan
would be out for the year we
knew it would be a big loss, but
Cole Spitler has stepped up a
lot this year to help us deal with
losing Jordan.
I think this team is pretty
close to one another and that
has helped us deal with all the
losses we have had to deal
with.
Middleton has had several
players step up to help compensate for the loss of Futch.
Blake Sprecher, one of the
top middle blockers in the
state, has had a huge senior
year. McMahon has been terrific as the Cardinals go-to player
on the outside.
Pace Balster, a senior middle blocker, and junior middle
hitter Spitler have had big sea-

Ben White has led Middletons boys volleyball team to the state tournament for a third straight
year and the eighth time since 2002.
sons. Others like sophomore

libero Thomas Robson, junior
defensive specialist Ben Miller
and senior outside hitter Jacob
Ross have also played well.
Losing Jordan was definitely a huge loss, not only to
our teams production, but he is
just a fun guy to play with and
be around and we definitely
could have used his presence
on the court, Sprecher said.
But this team has been a tight
group since last year, and with
the addition of underclassmen
they stepped right in and took
the roles they needed to fulfill.
With the level of chemistry our
team is at, I am not surprised in
the least at the ability we had to
excel in recent weeks.
Middleton has played New
Berlin twice this season and
dropped both matches.
In the first meeting, the

Cardinals led both sets, 18-13.
Middleton couldnt finish,
though, and lost the match 2521, 25-23.
The second time the teams
met it wasnt as close.
New Berlin reached the
state finals last season and
returned the majority of its
starting lineup. So Middleton
knows it will have to play its
best match of the season to
advance.
New Berlin has two of the
top outside hitters in the state, a
great setter and great libero,
Middleton coach Ben White
said. And their young rightside hitter hits a heavy ball.
Where we can attack them
is in the middle. Well need to
pass well to keep us in system
to feed the big guys the ball.
Then well have to serve tough

and play solid defense. We will
have to frustrate them. And we
need to be two points better
than them three times.
While the Cardinals are a
definite underdog, theyve
been in that role much of the
season.
And here Middleton is, back
at state once again. So White &
Co. know that anything is certainly possible.
A win will be an upset, but
these guys know how to play
and we know how to fight,
White said. Our senior leaders
have been there before, and so
have some of our younger
guys. I dont think the stage
will be too big for them.Its an
exciting time and I know well
embrace the moment.

Hibner named softball coach

Assistant takes
over program
on the rise
Sports
Golfers shine in classroom, too
by rOB reiSCHeL
Middleton golfers Morgan Miles, Morgan Narowetz,

Loren Skibba, Payton Hodson and Alexis Thomas were all
named to the Academic All-State team.
Students are nominated by a Golf Coaches Association of
Wisconsin member if they meet the following criteria:
1) A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.25;
2) Participation in at least 75% of their teams varsity
matches;
3) are at least a sophomore in high school.
Middleton also won the WIAA Division 1 state championship last month.
Times-Tribune
Perry Hibner was sitting in a

large conference room in
Stevens Point last Thursday
morning when he got the call
he had been hoping for.
Bob Joers was on the other
line, and Middletons athletic
director had some good news.
Hibner, an assistant coach
inside Middletons girls softball program, was being
bumped up to the head coaching position. And Hibner could
hardly contain himself.
I let out a huge scream,
Hibner said. Not really, but I
felt like doing it.
Its easy to see why.
Middleton was one of the
states premier softball programs for years under the guidance of the late Russ Shaub.
The Cardinals are trending
upward again thanks to the
recent leadership of Cherie
Hellenbrand.
But Hellenbrand stepped
down this fall when the task of
balancing coaching and family
became too great.
Hibner, who is also the
DirectorCommunications
education
Foundation
executive Director for the
Middleton-Cross Plains Area
School District, immediately
knew he wanted the job. And
after Superintendent Don
Johnson signed off, Hibner
threw his hat in the ring.
Hibner interviewed for the
job on Oct. 27 and was hired
Thursday. Hell now inherit a
group that won the Big eight
Conference last spring.
Its a wonderful opportunity, Hibner said. Cherie has
small feet, but big shoes to
fill.
Although Hibner was a varsity assistant just one season,
he has deep roots with many of
the girls in the program.
Hibner coached U-10
through U-16 programs in the
community, and had many of
the current Cardinals on his
youth teams. Moving forward,
that continuity should be a
plus.
Ive coached almost all of
these girls, which is nice,

Perry Hibner (far left) was named Middletons girls softball coach Thursday. Hibner is shown
with former MHS head coach Cherie Hellenbrand, MHS assistant Amy Siedschlag and former
assistant Dudley Hellenbrand.
Hibner said. Its a great bunch

of girls and I thought that continuity was important.
A lot of these girls have
known me from youth softball
through last year. Im hoping
thats a real positive.
Positive is a perfect word to
also describe Hibner.
Hes upbeat, encouraging,

optimistic and downright
cheery. Hell use that approach
in trying to continue moving
the program forward.
The fact is No. 1, this is a
great group of girls to work
with, said Hibner, who has
also coached boys and girls
varsity golf teams in the area.

Last year, they came to practice, worked hard and made our
jobs a lot easier.
Cheries got the program
on the right track. Were good,
but were not there yet. We
need to keep getting better.
Registration for the Middleton Basketball Club Rec

League is open now through Nov. 15. The league is available

It was so much fun watching the girls compete at such a
high level and come out on
top in the end, Cabalka said.
We have never qualified
everyone through to the state
meet before, which was a

huge accomplishment for us.
We,
along
with
Arrowhead, have the most
events that qualified through
(17 of 18). That in itself is an
incredible accomplishment.
Getting to state is always the
goal. From there, I am confident the girls will do whatever
they set their minds to. It is
going to be one exciting meet,
that's for sure.
Middletons Chiara Pierobon-Mays qualified for state with the

200-yard medley relay team and in the 100-yard backstroke.
