City golf course looks to expand clubhouse patio

by KEvIN MuRPhy
More than doubling the size

of the patio adjacent to the
Pleasant Golf Course Clubhouse this summer should increase food and beverage
business substantially, Terry
Turner, chair of the golf course
advisory committee, said Monday.
The project is budgeted at
about $120,000 and funded
from golf revenue, which is expected to be enhanced as golfers
will want to linger longer to eat
and enjoy the view east toward
Madison.
The expanded project adds a
second level to the existing
patio and will feature two fire
pits and lighting the outdoor
area currently does not have.

Pleasant View has been hosting more weddings and private
parties as it looks to increase
revenue from golf and non-golf
activities. The larger patio, to
begin this spring and be completed this summer, appears to
fit into those plans.
Last year, revenue from food
and beverage sales topped
$530,000, well above the
$470,601 budgeted for 2015
and more than the $466,758
recorded in 2104, according
preliminary totals the committee received Monday.
Our best year, Turner said.
Revenue of $2.088 million
went against operating expenses
of $1.365 million, resulting in a
net income of approximately
$608,000, said Turner. Adding
debt payments and capital ex-
pense of $879,000 resulted in an

approximate $270,000 deficit
for the year.
As debt for the land purchase, new clubhouse and additional 9-hole Lakes Course is
paid down, more revenue becomes available for improvements.
Before, much of our capital
expense went into retiring debt,
now that thats being retired we
can invest more in the property, he said.
Some aging mowers have
been replaced, a grinder to
sharpen mower reels is being
purchased, along with other
equipment upgrades with the
idea of making Pleasant View a
better golfing experience, said
Jeremy Cabalka, course general
manger.
Weve been concentrating
on improving our greens and

were getting positive results
based on the comments received from golfers, Cabalka
said.
The committee also wants
funding for a master plan for the
course this year.
That vote came after discussion, between committee members and representatives of
skiing and biking groups using
the golf course property, became a literal turf war of words.
Eileen Kelley, city planning
director, asked the committee
Monday to allow the Parks,
Recreation and Forestry Commission will conduct a master
for biking and skiing activities
at Pleasant View.
Turner and other committee
members said that would usurp
its role as overseer of the golf

course property.
The golf course isnt a park.
Its not funded like a park and it
needs to pay off its debts,
said Tom Scott, committee vice
chair in a rebuff of Kelleys request.
Establishing permanent areas
for recreational trails could restrict future development of the
course in locations not currently
used for golf, Scott said.
Blackhawk Ski Club Vice
President Mark Torresani partly
credits the growth in Blackhawks youth and racing programs to the access it has to ski
trails at Pleasant View which
the Middleton Parks Department grooms.
Wed like to continue to rely
on (the Pleasant View trails),
and the club can be a good partner in maintaining them with its
volunteers and trail maintenance equipment, Torresani
added.
While Kelley would like the
course master plan to begin this
summer, Turner said the committees master plan process for
the golf course could take six
months or more.
Whether Pleasant View is
master planned as a golf course
or a course with non-golfing activities ultimately will be up to
the City Council.
Kelley anticipates city administrator Mike Davis to issue
an advisory memo outlining
how the course should be master planned, which she understands will guide the council.

INVESTIGATIVE
UNIT REPORT
During the month of November, the Investigative Services
Bureau (ISB) reviewed a total
of 96 cases.
Of those cases, 19 were assigned to detectives for follow
up and an additional 12 were assigned to patrol. The cases assigned to detectives included
several drug investigations,
frauds, thefts, burglaries, robbery and domestic disturbances.
One significant case worked
on by detectives during this
month was a robbery that occurred at the PDQ at 6519 Century Avenue. In that incident,
the suspect entered the business
in the early afternoon armed
with a knife and demanded the
money from the register. The

suspect was captured on surveillance video and the pictures
were distributed to the media
and other police agencies. Additionally, evidence was seized
from the scene and sent to the
State Crime Lab for analysis.
This case is still being investigated and police encourage anybody with information to
contact them at 608-824-7300.
In November, the Middleton
Police Department also responded to two heroin related
overdose calls and has been responding to an increasing number of heroin related calls over
the last several years.
This is not a problem unique
to only Middleton or the Dane
County area. Throughout the
state, the number of heroin related calls for service has increased substantially over the
years. Heroin is a highly addictive drug that is extremely difficult to quit once you start. As
with other street drugs, the purity levels are never known
which puts the user at the risk of
dying every time they use.

being made for fun with the

white stuff.
As soon as snow conditions
were right, the more than six
and a half miles of cross country ski trails at Pleasant View
were groomed every Monday
and Friday. The work is being
done by staff of the City of Middletons Park Department, who
are in charge of the grounds
during the winter months.
According to Madison
Nordic Ski Club, the Pleasant
View Trails were worth the
wait. For the last ten years, they
have voted these trails as the
best in the Madison area.
Both skate ski and classic
trails are groomed at Pleasant
View. Although the topography
is mostly hilly, there are beginner, intermediate and advanced
loops.
A lot of people who train for
the American Birkebeiner come
here to practice, said Jeremy
Cabalka, manager of Pleasant
View Golf Course. The Birkebeiner is North Americans
largest cross-country ski race,
held annually in Cable, WI each
February.

more than 80 entries was such a
success, that organizers decided
to bring it back this winter with
an added snowshoe race.
Snowshoe trails are available
for use throughout the winter,
not just during special events.
They are separate from the
cross country trails.
Last years snowshoe trail
ran approximately one and a
half miles. This year, depending on snow conditions, the
snowshoe portion might be expanded.
During races and other special events, the clubhouse
restaurant opens and serves hot
food as well as beverages and
snacks. Cabalka works with
event organizers to work out
food offerings. Profits from
food sales are shared with the
organizations planning the
events.
The club house is also open
in the winter from approximately 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every

The plan is to be open on

On regular winter weekends,
patrons can warm up and refresh themselves with hot

There is no cost to use the

Because the trails are not

from sunrise to sunset. According to Klein, if the gate is

Towns Association weighs in on zoning controversy

Some misunderstandings and
a few misstatements are circulating about the town withdrawal bill, AB 563. Here are
the facts.
The bill focuses on Dane
County because Dane County is
where towns are most endangered five of 35 original
towns either have disappeared
or soon will. The Wisconsin
Towns Association also supports this legislation, alongside
the DCTA, because town government is an essential part of
Wisconsin, everywhere.
Taking On Zoning Will Not
Increase Taxpayer Burden:
Towns which withdraw will
pay for zoning administration
with fees and property taxes
that Dane County now receives.
Dane County wont be able to
charge fees for zoning reviews
which the County no longer
conducts. Towns can charge
those fees. If that isnt enough,
the levy limit statute allows
towns to claim the levy which
the County will no longer need.
The County spends just under
$900,000 on zoning. Towns
can do it for that, and probably
less.
Towns Are Capable Of Administering Zoning:
Some suggest the towns cant
handle zoning. We know that
towns can do it. A third of the
Towns in Wisconsin do. Towns
in large urban counties
Brown, Outagamie, Rock, Sheboygan, Washington, Winnebago and Fond du Lac have
handled zoning for years. Dane
County towns can hire professional services. There are firms
out there ready to work with us.
Many cities, villages and towns
have contractors administer
zoning for them.
In Dane
County, the Villages of Waunakee, Belleville and Brooklyn
have contractors administering
zoning. Town officials are just
as smart as county officials, and
they have the advantage of
knowing their local communities better than county supervisors from Madison.
We Would Welcome A
Chance To Continue To Work
With County Staff:
We havent sought withdrawal because we dont like
County staff. Actually, from the
beginning of this effort, DCTA

indicated we would like to continue to use County staff. The
County has stated it will not
agree to work for towns which
have withdrawn. We cant
make the County cooperate
which is why we are at this
point.
We Did Try To Work With
Dane County, But No Compromise Occurred:
The County is just plain
wrong in claiming that the
DCTA agreed to a compromise
after last sessions bill was postponed. DCTA did submit a proposal. The County completely
ignored it. We asked the
County Execs office to release
any written record of such an
agreement, and they could not
produce that since it does not
exist.
There Is No Such Thing As
County Oversight Of Land Use
and Development:
Our city and village colleagues assert that if towns control their own zoning, there will
be chaos and no oversight of regional impacts of growth. If
County control is such a great
thing, lets see our city and village friends agree to be under
County control. Were sure the
County would love to control
city and village zoning and annexation decisions. Somehow,
we dont think our city and village friends think that sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander. The idea that counties were
chosen to control towns is inaccurate and nonsensical.
Towns Will Make Better Land
Use Decisions Than the County
Has:
No one is better suited to decide what is good for them than
that person. For decades, we
have heard City supervisors tell
farmers how to farm, business
owners how to run their businesses, and people of all kinds
how to live. No system under
which some people tell others
how to live is ever appropriate.
Dane Countys wasnt very
good either. Just one small example there is a functional, efficient and safe manure digester
operating on a farm in the Town
of Sun Prairie, one built by the
farmer without County intervention or control. The County
supervised construction of a
manure digester in Vienna. In
its first two years of operation,
it leaked hundreds of thousands
of gallons of manure, was cited
for more than 90 air quality violations and exploded. We wish
that were an isolated example.
The Bill Corrects An Error
Rather Than Making A Real
Change:
Towns are not required to
have County zoning. Towns are
covered by county zoning only
because a town chooses to be
covered. The 1928 legislation
authorizing rural zoning didnt
say towns could not withdraw
from zoning. The Wisconsin
Supreme Court did. This bill
changes that by giving towns
the same choice to withdraw
which towns have to be subject
to county zoning.
Its About Freedom:
No town has to withdraw. If
a town doesnt want to do so,
then it need not withdraw. If a
town opposes zoning withdrawal because the town
doesnt want other towns to
choose their own destiny, we
cant agree with that. We think
towns need the chance to govern themselves. We also think

that for those who would like to
stay with the County, once
given the option to withdraw,
the County will become much
more reasonable.
But, we cant rely on hope.

We have seen three towns eaten
up by annexation because they
could not offer property owners
an alternative. Two towns incorporated to avoid being consumed by annexation. We have
seen town residents mistreated
by many zoning committees
over the years. We agree that
the county zoning committee is
currently better than it was two
years ago. But any system
which depends on the personality of committee members is
broken beyond repair. Its time
to move beyond the 1938 ordinance to the 21st Century.

Intellectual property stifles tech innovation

by ERIC ChEN
Guest Column
As a kid, I loved sledding

down the front yard on wintry
Wisconsin afternoons. I remember that one winter a while
back, my older brother got a
neon-green SnowSlider. This
sled, to use tech parlance, disrupted my familys sledding
ecosystem. My chintzy plastic
sled (the kind that is built like a
miniaturized kiddie pool) was
obsoleted by the svelte

SnowSlider with its slick and
speedy coating.
But as much as I wanted to
try my brothers speedy new
ride, he had no intentions of
sharing. Even when I went out
sledding by myself, I was never
allowed to the use his sled.
Of course, we all have stories
like this. Whether its between
siblings or coworkers or friends,
everybody has a story about
being on the wrong end of greed
and selfishness.
And recently, we all have

witnessed this same phenomenon develop in the tech industry. Instead of claiming
exclusive sledding rights, tech
companies are fighting over intellectual property rightsthink
patents and copyrights. They
are making expansive intellectual property claims that
threaten to stifle future improvements and innovations.
The solution to this problem
is clear: intellectual property
law must promote, not prohibit,
technological innovation by
limiting the scope of property
claims. Without making these
changes, we might never see the
Amazons, Facebooks, and
Ubers of tomorrow because the
moat of intellectual property
will have blocked their entrance.
In fact, news came out recently that Google plans to rearchitect its implementation of
the Java APIs in the next major
version of Android. Because
Java APIs are like the foundation of the house, replacing
them is not trivial. Even though
the courts have already found
that Googles codebase is original and unique, an ongoing appeal forced Google to dedicate
considerable efforts to what essentially amounts to treading
Chen
water.
If not for Oracles lawsuit,
Google could instead spend
these man-hours improving its
software in tangible ways. Its
hard to quantify and report the
loss of future innovation. But
these losses are real, and we are
starting to feel the treacherous
side-effects today.
I recognize, though, that
changing the law is no easy task
(and rightly so). But there is
precedent that can be considered when thinking about intellectual property in technology:
water rights in the 19th century
West. While 21st century technologists and 19th century settlers have little in common
beyond entrepreneurial spirit,
lessons learned from the West
are still applicable today.
In the West at this time, the
first settlers had many advantages. Processing precious ore

required building mills along
rivers. And as the first to arrive,
these settlers had their choice of
the best land and water sources.
Plus, cordoning off a large
swath of waterway had the
knock on effect of limiting others mining potential.
When legislation finally
caught up to the miners, the
rules changed. A use principle
was enacted, which simply
stated that you had a right to
water only if you made use of it.
Rampant speculation and exorbitant claims, like my brothers
exclusive
right
to
the
SnowSlider, were no longer
valid.
We can apply this principle
to software, too. One functionone ideacan have a
myriad of uses. You can use a
dynamic pricing algorithm to
sell stadium tickets (SeatGeek),
taxi rides (Uber), or diapers
(Amazon). Under the use principle, because each company
uses the pricing algorithm for
specific applications with
unique codebases, all of them
have the right to innovate, but
none of them can claim ownership over the bigger idea.
However, some say that
weakening intellectual property
protection will actually discourage innovation by lowering financial incentives. While this is
a valid concern, the reality of
the legal landscape suggests a
more pressing issue. According
to Unified Patents, an industry
organization dedicated to reforming patent law with members including Google and
Adobe, patent trolls accounted
for 92 percent of all patent lawsuits in technology in 2015.
These patent trolls take hundreds of companies, big and
small, to court at once, relying
on the current intellectual property law to exact money from
legitimate companies.
Instead of giving out broad
intellectual property to the first
creators of technology, we must
reform intellectual property
along the use principle to allow
future companies to continue to
innovate. Amazon didnt create
the first online marketplace,
Google wasnt the first to make
a search engine, and Apples
iPhone wasnt the first phone.
Lets make sure theyre not the
last.

CHURCH NOTES
PRIMROSE
plained Amanda Kienbaum.

Since I was a child, I wanted to
work with children.
While that desire to work
with youth took various forms
over the years, it always remained strong, she said. Attending college at the University of
Minnesota Twin Cities,
Amanda obtained he Bachelors
degree in Child Psychology.
From there, she began working
in child care as a teachers aide
14 years ago. She continued to
climb the ladder, from aide to
assistant to teacher to assistant
director to director. And now
she is the owner of a new school
and childcare facility.
Primrose School of Middleton will provide education and
care for children six weeks old
through pre-kindergarten, as
well as before- and after-school
programming and summer
camp for children up to 12 years
old.
My time in various daycares
and child cares opened my eyes
to what is really out there, or
what really isnt out there, she
explained. Early childhood education and care varies greatly
across the spectrum. I have
seen bad, but I have also seen
great. Being in a classroom,
being in leadership, and now
being a parent, I know what is
truly important for children, for
teachers, and for parents.
These experiences in child
care led me to know that Primrose is the best of the best, she
continued, and now as parents,
Primrose is the only place Mark
and I can truly feel comfortable
that our children will be safe,
secure, and receiving the best in
early childhood education and
care.
She said there were many

things about the Primrose franchise that interested her and
Mark.
I first learned about Primrose Schools in 2006 in Minneapolis, she said. After
working in early childhood and
child care for four years at that
time, I was seeking something
better. I wanted a program that
provided the best for children,
focused on the whole child, and
was not so corporately driven.
I fell upon Primrose by locating a job posting for a director position with the Primrose
School of Eden Prairie, she
said. After speaking with the
owner, I was convinced Primrose was the opportunity I was
seeking.
She was hired as the school
director in November of 2006
and the school opened in January of 2007. Kienbaum worked
at the Primrose School of Eden
Prairie for just over three years.
According to the Kienbaums,
the schools philosophy is based
on the Balanced Learning Philosophy, which strives to reach
every aspect of each child individually.
This Balanced Learning
approach takes aspects from all
teaching styles, incorporating
research and foundational
knowledge from early childhood experts such as Piaget, Vygotsky, and Maria Montessori,
to name a few, while also maintaining the newest research on
what is best for children and incorporating it into the curriculum.
Primrose is about providing
balance to the children and to
families, she said. It is providing a safe, secure school to chil-
to do the best work that we can

do, Gurtner said to the board.
Gurtner reminded the board
that the 21st Century ESchool
has been transitioning this year
from strictly online to an integrated education that requires
students occasionally meet with
their teachers.
We continue to have a high
quality mostly full time online
program but none of our kids
are fully online anymore, Gurtner said. They all have regular
connections in our buildings
and with our staff, because we
found that greatly increases the
success and experience for all
of them.
She added the school has also
been working on becoming a
digital teaching resource to all
of the schools in the district.
We also have integrated programs and supports in every
single one of our brick and mortar buildings, Gurtner noted.
There are so many huge successes that were having by
being able to provide digital resources to our buildings and really help the buildings do the
best job of serving all their students.
Gurtner explained that the
transition to integrated learning
caused a drop in enrollment
from 2014 to 2015, because the
requirement that all students
come into the building for some
time reduced the number of students from open enrollment.
Open enrollment now is
quite geographically close,
Gurtner said. We do still continue to have some open enroll-
ment, but most of the students

are within a half hour to an hour
from us because we do ask them
to come in to meet and that has
been a great is good been a really big change and has been really, really successful.
Gurtner said accounting for
the decrease in open enrollment
the online school has had a
steady increase in enrollment
for six years.
Kim Gauen, counselor for the
online school, told the board
that enrollment is constantly
growing with about one new
student per week since the start
of the school year. She said the
majority of them are coming
from within the district. She
added that about 15 percent of
those who enrolled late were
open enrollment, 65 percent
were from MHS and about 20
percent were from another district school or moved in from
out of the area.
Gauen said another area of
growth has been the special education population, largely at
the high school level. Board
president Bob Green asked if
she had an idea why students
with special education needs are
turning to online schooling.
It really varies depending on
the needs of the student, Gauen
responded. A lot of it has to do
with a behavioral or medical
needs, so students with mental
health issues, students with
autism, students that struggle to
be in a classroom but the have
the academic skills.
Wendy Ripp said during her
two years as the online elemen-

dren while fostering an educational and nurturing environment where children can learn
academics, participate in enrichment programs, eat wellbalanced nutritional meals, have
opportunities for physical activity inside the classroom and
outside on the age-appropriate
playgrounds, and build character development skills through
play and community outreach.
The balance is not only present for the children, but for families as well, she continued.
Parents can feel comfortable
leaving their children in the
safety of their care, knowing
they are receiving the best educational child care, and building
a strong relationship with the

Primrose teachers and leadership team through daily and
continual communication, she
stated.
At the core of it all, Primrose is about doing what is best
for each child, and that is why I
believe in our school, she said.
Primrose is being designed to
complement, not to compete
with, its counterparts in the
Middleton-Cross Plains Area
School District, according to the
Kienbaums.
We dont view our school as
competition to the school district, Amanda said. We strive
to work together to provide education to children in the com-

in the district.
tary and middle school teacher
shes noticed a shift from
mostly students from families
that homeschool to students that
leave public school for various
reasons.
Allison Kuhn is 20 years old
and graduated from the online
school this past August. She
shared her experience with the
board.
At fifteen I had mental issues that didnt really allow me
to go to high school anymore so
I missed a lot of school and the
only way to make it up was online, Kuhn said. It ended up
being the right choice because I
loved it. It took me a long time,
but I liked the options of classes
and I met some fun people and
Kim and Jill were always cheering me on.

Kuhn explained how the integrated learning worked well
for her.
Kim and Jill would allow
me to come in a couple days
and work with them, she said.
I wasnt very good at staying
on task so they would sit with
me and help me I have ADD
and that was also an issue at
school. It was hard to pay attention and online it let me focus
on one thing, my computer
screen, no other students, just
the screen, it helped a lot.
Gauen told the board that the
21st Century ESchool now has
a classroom at Clark Street
staffed full-time for students to
munity and work to prepare

children in early childhood so
they are ready to enter the
school district.
Our curriculum is designed
to prepare children not only academically, but also socially,
emotionally and cognitively, so
that when they leave Primrose
they have the best chance for
success - and research on former Primrose students has
shown they are succeeding,
she added. We hope to develop
a close working relationship
with area elementary schools as
we enter the Middleton community.
Construction is happening
right now, and they hope to
come in anytime for help, and
online teachers meet once or
twice a week with their students
there. She explained that students who do well in their online classed have more
flexibility on coming in, while
students who start to fall behind
are required to come in and
meet with their teachers.
Gurtner explained how the
ESchool has become a tool that
can serve students in ways traditional schools cant.
In our brick-and-mortar
building, to come up with a way
to help the student who needs
one or two classes at a time and
needs them on their own pace,
its logistically not something
that we can do very effectively
in our buildings, but we can do
that in our ESchool and we can
with each kid sit down and
build relationships with them
and say how can we get you
believing in yourself and get
you to success? Gurtner said.
Gurtner transitioned to the
Clark Street Community School
report by describing the mission
to democratically cultivate a
community of engaged learners. She said the focus continues to be on personalized
learning for every student, but
also offers integrated blended
learning, especially in math,
and continues to have lots of
community partners.
Clark Street is out there with
a group of people across the
country, across the world really
looking at innovative practices
and talking about how to we
look at the future of education,
open in time for the start of the

fall 2016 school year.
The location, 3000 Deming
Way, means countless workers
in Middletons business park
district will have access to a
new child care option.
The Middleton area, specifically the business park we are
located in on Deming Way, is in
great need of additional child
care, she said. But not only
that, [but] Middleton, as well as
the Madison area, are in need of
high quality, educational care
for children, and Middleton was
the best opportunity for us to
grow and serve.
This project has been a
dream for me since I first began
working
with
Primrose
Schools, she continued. The
project itself has been a work in
progress for over four years.
We are excited to open our
doors, get our three girls into
their classrooms, and begin to
create a Primrose family with
all our students, parents and
teachers.
Being the first Primrose
School in Wisconsin, I know we
are coming in as an unfamiliar
school for families, she concluded. Primrose has been
growing and educating children
since 1982. The foundation has
been built around the core value
of doing what is best for children. With Primrose Schools to
provide the foundation and curriculum, and our family to provide passion, dedication, and
commitment, we feel the Primrose School of Middleton will
be a positive addition to the
community now, and for the
children that will one day be the
leaders of this community.
Gurtner said.
Gurtner explained that while
engagement tends to go down
for high schoolers as they near
graduation the opposite has
been happening at Clark Street.
High school engagement
generally goes down, while at
Clark Street engagement has
been going up.
Natalie Krogull, a senior at
Clark Street, shared her story
with the board. She said she
was quite engaged up until middle school, but once she reached
high school she was overwhelmed by the size, felt lost,
and didnt feel like the teachers
liked her
I really think just being in a
community where I know
everyone, I know my teachers
and I truly feel like there are
people who care about me and
support me and want me to succeed has had a profound impact
on my confidence, Krogull
said. Just within the first semester at Clark Street I went
from being the person who didnt want to move in class to having shadow students and doing
presentations about the school.
Krogull said shes also been
part of restorative justice meetings and presented to large
groups of people and had experiences she never would have at
Clark Street.
Its given me a lot to talk
about with college admissions
counselors and in college essays
and all of that, Krogull added.
I really feel prepared to go on
the college now.

Middletons
girls rally past
Parker in O.T.
by ROB REISChEL
Times-Tribune
In many ways, this was the

perfect scenario and the ideal
outcome for Middletons girls
basketball team.
Getting there, though, was
anything but easy.
The Cardinals defeated visiting Janesville Parker, 84-74,
in overtime last Friday.
Just six weeks earlier, the
Cardinals routed the Vikings by
36 in Janesville, and some
Middleton players admitted
they thought the sequel might
be similar to the original.
Instead, the Cardinals
learned a valuable lesson about
overlooking teams. The good
news, though, is it didnt cost
them a game.
I think we just kind of
expected to show up and win
the game, especially with how
the
first
game
went,
Middleton junior forward
Carlee Lemirande said. But
we have to come into games
acting like its the state championship.
Middleton junior guard
Alyssa Lemirande added: I
think we learned a lot tonight
about not taking anybody lightly.
The beat
goes on

Boys basketball
team now 12-0
by ROB REISChEL
Times-Tribune
The I-90 trip is often littered

with road blocks and potholes.
And it almost always contains
two gifted opponents.
This year was no different.
But Middletons boys basketball team is better equipped
than any time in recent memory to handle such trouble.
Middleton traveled to Beloit
Memorial last Thursday and
Janesville Craig last Saturday
and dismantled both Big Eight
Conference foes.
The Cardinals rolled past
the Purple Knights, 81-72, then
toppled
Craig,
73-63.
Alyssa Lemirande and Middletons girls basketball team rallied past Janesville Parker in overtime last Friday.
Middleton improved to 12-0

overall and 9-0 in the Big Eight
Conference.
Both Madison Memorial
and Sun Prairie are two games
behind Middleton at the midway point of the conference
season.
Any time you make the
back-to-back trips to Beloit and
Craig its a difficult turn
around, Middleton coach
Kevin Bavery said. I thought
our guys learned some things
in a competitive game
Thursday and applied them on
Saturday. Craig was our best
overall effort to date.
Beloit Memorial raced to
leads of 4-0 and 9-4. But
Middleton used a 17-3 run to
grab a 21-12 lead.

Purple
Knights

Hockey Cards
have dropped
three straight
by ROB REISChEL
Times-Tribune
Their fast start is now a distant memory.

Today, Middletons hockey
team is in survival mode.
The Cardinals raced to a 150 start this season. But the
worm turned last week and
Middleton lost three consecutive games.
The Cardinals fell to
Janesville, 1-0, last Tuesday.
Sun Prairie then defeated
Middleton, 5-3, last Thursday.
Finally, Madison Edgewood
toppled Middleton, 2-1, last
Saturday.
Thank goodness last week
is over, Middleton coach
Steffon Walby said. We took
our lumps and all three games.
Were still in a good spot.
We earned the right to have a
tough week, but what it really
comes right down to is weve
got to get back to being cohesive as an overall unit.
Janesville goalie Jack
Bostedt made 39 saves, while
Tyler Kulas had a power play
goal in the second period.
Tony Wuesthofen had 22
saves for Middleton.
Ive got to give our defensive corps a lot of credit,
Janesville
coach
John
Mauermann said. They were
really consistent. This is a big
win for our team.

Two nights later, Middleton
dug itself a 5-1 hole and lost at
Sun Prairie.
Sun Prairie built a 2-0 lead
after
the
first
period.
Middletons Nolan Kouba
scored at 12:25 of the second
period on an assist by Justin
Engelkes to close within 2-1.
But Sun Prairie scored two
more goals before the second
period ended, then made it 5-1
midway through the second
period.
Middletons Jordan Hylbert
scored on an assist from Troy
Reifsteck at 12:03. Then Zach
Heidel scored on assists from
Casey Harper and Reifsteck at
15:37 to make it 5-3.
But it was too little, too late
for Middleton.
Sun Prairie really played us
tough and they capitalized on
all of our mistakes, Walby
said. They really have a solid
goaltender that once you get
down by two or three goals its
tough to come back.
The Cardinals slide hit
three games when they lost to
host Edgewood last Saturday.
The Crusaders scored a pair
of goals in the first period to
take control early.
Middletons Hylbert scored
an even strength goal on an
assist by Harper just 32 seconds into the third period. But
Middleton couldnt score again
and lost its third straight game.
I thought the game against
Edgewood we played really
really well, Walby said. We
battled for all three periods.
Jake Livesey and Middletons hockey team look to get back on track this week.
But there again is the case that

you cant spot a team a twogoal lead when they have a
phenomenal goaltender.
Sometimes theres good
wins, sometimes theres good
losses, sometimes theres tough
losses, sometimes theres good
losses. We really deserved to
win that game.

Swimmers shine at MHS Invite

Middleton
third at own
invitational
by ROB REISChEL
Times-Tribune
Madison Memorial and

Madison West were the top
two boys swimming teams in
the state last year. And both
are elite once again.
Middleton is chasing both
the Spartans and Regents
again this winter. But the
Cardinals are closing in on
both powers, which they
showed at last Saturdays
Middleton Invite.
Madison Memorial won
the 11-team invite with 190
points, while West was second
with 170. Middleton was third
at 154, while Verona-Mount
Horeb (143) and McFarland
(137) rounded out the top five.
It was a good indication of
where we need to be to get as
close as possible to Madison
Memorial
and
Madison
West, Middleton coach Sam
Niesen said. Thankfully
weve still got a good couple
of weeks to phase out stroke
weaknesses before conference, sectionals, and state.
Jacob Aegerter and Middletons boys swimming team finished third at their own invite.
Middletons 300-yard butterfly relay team of junior

Isaac Hanson, junior Luke
Delaney, freshman Andrew
Lund and senior Jacob
Aegerter was second.
The Cardinals 850-yard
freestyle relay team of senior
Jack Zocher, junior Erick
Grelle, junior John Virnig and
sophomore Michael Draves
finished second.
Middletons
800-yard
freestyle relay team of
Aegerter, Virnig, junior Luke
Delaney and Draves finished
third.
backstroke relay team of

freshman Archer Parkin,
freshman Blake Zillner, freshman Andrew Martin and

Grelle was third.
freestyle relay team of Lund,
senior Dean Zillner, sophomore Sam Young and junior
Max Hollfelder finished
fourth.
Middletons 200-yard medley relay team of Grelle, senior Ethan Lengfeld, Hanson
and Zocher finished fourth.
breaststroke relay team of
freshman Jack Mondi, junior
Tom McGovern, Lund and
Lengfeld was fourth.
Middletons 8x50 pineapple relay team of Aegerter,
Dean Zillner, junior Gunnar
Kunsch and Delaney was
fourth.
Our Cardinal Relay invite
started out a little sluggish,
Niesen said. I think our boys

were a little tired after their
last two days of meets. Once
the crowd started picking up
and everyone started having
fun, they started swimming
fast like they usually do.
This is definitely the grind
of the boys swim season as
its just far enough into it to be
getting slightly bored with
practicing hard every day, but
not quite close enough to the
end of the season to be really
excited. Thankfully, the relay
invite renewed that excitement a bit.

Rogers, Meicher win titles

MHS wrestlers
fifth at Badger
by ROB REISChEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton wrestlers Kevin

Meicher and Chris Rogers are
in the midst of terrific seasons.
And both continued their
fantastic
years
at
last
Saturdays Badger Invitational.
Meicher finished first at 126
pounds, and Rogers won a title
at 132 pounds. Those performances helped the Cardinals finish fifth at the 12-team invite.
Milton won the team title
with 361 points, while Badger
was second (339). Waterford
(285.5), Sun Prairie (277) and
Middleton (250.5) rounded out
the top five.
Meicher won his first match
by technical fall over Connor
Brickley of Oregon, then he
received a forfeit. Meicher followed with a 6-4 win over
Tyler Nelson of Sun Prairie,
then defeated Brett Kieslich of
Union Grove, 5-1.
In Meichers final match, he
pinned Stevie Kraus of Badger
in 1:06.
Rogers pinned Alexis
Bonilla of Kenosha Indian
Trail in 11 seconds in the first
round, then pinned John Sulzer
of Badger in 1:49.
In the third round, Rogers

pinned Levi Garrett of Milton
in 3:38. Then Rogers defeated
Robby Mutimer of Badger, 7-2.
Middleton also got third
place finishes from Joe
Hoffman at 106 and Matt
Davey at 220.
Hoffman won by major
decision over Sun Prairies
Wyatt Thiel, 14-5, then was
pinned by Andrew Wells of
Milton in 3:23.
Hoffman then defeated
Racine Parks Eric Rodriguez,
7-0, and pinned Beau LaDu of
Badger in 1:03. Hoffman then
lost to Steele Mellum of
Oregon, 10-3.
Davey pinned Badgers
Matt Szeszol in 3:11 in his first
match, then was pinned by Sam
Presser of Sun Prairie in 2:12.
Davey was pinned by Jacob
Simar of Kenosha Indian Trail
in 26 seconds. But Davey rallied to pin Clayton Esch of
Union Grove in 2:42.
Middleton also got fifth
place finishes from Max
Mayhew at 160 and heavyweight Irving Perez.
Mayhew opened with a pin
over
Jacob
Zupke
of
Homestead in 3:38, then lost to
Miltons Taylor Prochazka, 42.

answered back, though,

with a 10-0 burst of their own
and took a 22-21 lead. But that
was Beloit Memorials last lead
of the night.
Middleton led, 40-33, at
halftime. But the Purple
Knights opened the second half
with a 10-4 run and closed
within 44-43.
But Middleton went on a
19-4 burst to grab a 63-47 lead.
From there, Beloit Memorial
never came closer than six.
Junior forward Tyree Eady
had 14 of his game-high 26
points in the first half. Junior
point guard Storm Murphy
added 17 points and five assists
and
sophomore
forward
Brogan Brunker scored 17
points.
It was our 11th game, but it
looked like our first, Bavery
said. When we trust our
actions, expend energy, and
find bodies on blockouts were
a tough out. When we dont,
we become very average
quickly.
You cant ever play this
game on reputation, and if a
team is in middle of the pack in
the standings, they will always
come after that target on your
back and you better be ready.
There is a not a team in the Big
Eight this season who isnt
capable of beating anyone on a
given night. We still have a
long ways to go but our ball
handling and free throw ability
was clutch down the stretch
when we needed it to finally
put the game away.
Middleton followed that
with an impressive win over
Janesville Craig.
Murphy had a game-high 23
n GIRLS BB
Middleton improved to 10-0

in the Big Eight Conference,
12-2 overall and remained in
first place in the league. Parker
fell to 9-5, 5-5.
Middleton trailed by 10
points midway through the second half, but rallied to force
overtime. The Cardinals then
scored the first nine points of
overtime and pulled away.
Theyre such competitors,
Middleton coach Jeff Kind said
of his team. There were a lot
of times we could have cashed
it in. But thats not something
theyd do.
Cardinals junior guard
Alexis Thomas finished with a
team-high 18 points, while junior guard Bria Lemirande
added 17. Carlee Lemirande
knocked down five second half
three-pointers on her way to 15
points, while freshman forward
Hannah Flottmeyer had 14
points and Alyssa Lemirande
added 11.
Parker standout freshman
Julia Hartwig had a game-high
22 points and 14 rebounds.
Every one in the league is
getting
better,
Alyssa
Lemirande said. And the
teams that have already lost to
you are more fired up to play
you.
That was evident throughout, as Parker overcame an
early 10-point deficit and led
the entire second half.
The Vikings held a 66-62
lead, when Flottmeyer and
Alyssa Lemirande notched
consecutive steals in a 7-second span. Both led to layups by
Bria Lemirande, the second
one tying the game at 66 with
1:18 left.

Middletons 12 three-pointers.
Eady added 17 points, six
rebounds and four assists,
while junior point guard C.J.
Fermanich had 16 points and
three assists.
Theres a good reason
theyre undefeated, Craig
coach Mike Miller said of
Middleton. All their guys play
extremely hard. I thought we
played OK. We just ran into a
real good team that shot the
ball.
Craig scored the first five
points of the game. But
Middleton answered with a 177 run and never trailed again.
Murphy had 12 of his points
in the first half as Middleton
built a 36-23 halftime lead. The
Cardinals extended their lead
to 73-56 before coasting home.
The Cougars have one of the
states biggest frontlines, with a
6-foot-11 center and a 6-foot-9
forward. But the Cardinals handled that size and actually outrebounded Craig, 27-18.
There are a lot of ways to
win as well as a lot of ways you

have to be able to win, Bavery

said. Weve shown an ability
at the halfway point in conference play to be able to play
smaller, quicker teams, teams
with a special scorer or two,
teams with size, as well as
teams with balance.
Comparative scores mean

very little, so to be able to go in
with your basic rotations game
in and game out, and be able to
adapt says a lot about the ability and depth of our team at this
point.

Parker immediately countered with a basket from Bree

Porter (14 points) with 1:01
remaining. But Thomas had a
rebound basket that forced
overtime, deadlocked at 68.
I think that comeback
shows how passionate we all
are, Alyssa Lemirande said.
We all really wanted to win.
That was evident in the
overtime.
Middleton had a pair of
offensive rebounds on its first
possession. Flottmeyer con-
verted the second one to give

the Cardinals a 70-68 they
wouldnt relinquish.
Alyssa Lemirande followed
with a steal and a lay-up, then
Carlee Lemirande drained her
fifth three-pointer of the night.
Alyssa Lemirande added two
free throws with 1:28 remaining to give Middleton a 77-68

Jennah Hartwig said. We had

them, and we probably should
have won in regulation.
Hartwig may have a point.
Middleton shot just 1-of-15
from three-point land in the
first half (6.7%) and led just
26-25 at the break. The
Cardinals made 10-of-23
(43.5%) from inside the arc in
the first half, but settled for far
too many three-pointers.
We cant live and die with
the three so much, Middleton
coach
Jeff
Kind
said.
Especially because we were
doing a nice job getting to the
basket and finishing in there.
Parker used a 9-2 run early
in the second half to take a 3831 lead. And the Vikings eventually extended their lead to
51-41.
We just didnt have great
energy, Kind said.
But Carlee Lemirande
helped change all of that.
First, she drilled a threepointer with 8:43 left to trim
the Vikings lead to 51-44.
Claire Staples added a threepointer just 27 seconds later to
pull Middleton within 51-47.

Kind said. She got really hot
there for us. Shes a streaky
shooter, but also probably our
best shooter.
Parker answered with a 9-0
run of its own to take a 62-54
lead with 4 minutes left. That
forced the Cardinals to play
uphill the rest of the way,
which it did with aplomb.
Carlee Lemirande and
Thomas knocked down threepointers, and Bria Lemirande
drove the baseline for a basket
that pulled Middleton within
64-62 with 2:45 left. That
helped the Cardinals force
