The sound of music

A local womans
passion for learning,
and for teaching,
classical Indian music
by MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
It started with a little girl in

southern India, riding in a car
with her father and listening to
classical music on cassette.
I would go on long car rides
with my parents, says Vanitha
Suresh, who has her own children today and lives 8,000 miles
away in Middleton, Wisconsin.
I remember singing along with
the great masters on tape.
Sureshs father died when she
was only nine years old, but
during their too-short time together, he left what she describes as an indelible impact
on her life.
My father worked a lot, and
he traveled for work, but whenever he was with us he
was completely with us, she
says tenderly as she drizzles
honey from a plastic bear into a
cup of spicy Chai tea in her
kitchen.
The music primarily classical Indian music, as well as
some classical Western started
in those early days with family,
and she has never stopped
learning about it, loving its
beauty and its vastness, as well
as teaching it.
Today, Suresh, professionally
trained as a computer scientist
and also the devoted mother of
two young boys, Sanjay and

Vanitha Suresh (above left) was born in Chennai, India. She came to the United States at the age of 23, and today she runs Arohana School of Music out of her
Middleton home. Her oldest son, Sanjay, above right, is already a skilled violin player. Classical Indian and Western music will come together when the Melharmony
Foundation, of which Suresh is the executive director, performs with members of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra in a special Concerts on the Square on
Wednesday, July 27, at 7 p.m. on the corner of King Street and the Capitol Square in Madison.
Dead Bird Brewing takes flight

Outstanding beer by
upstanding gentlemen
by MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
You might say it all began

when Jeremy Hach and Nick
Kocis, searching for a kettle in
which to brew their first batch
of beer, found an old tub with a
dead sparrow in it.
Maybe it started when they
were sitting in class at Middleton High School, learning the
basics of chemistry.
Or perhaps the roots of Dead
Bird Brewing stretch back even
further, to their early childhoods, when each winter a special spot in Nicks dad fridge
would be reserved for Capital

Brewerys Blonde Doppelbock,
signaling the beginning of the
craft beer movement.
Its most likely, however, that
all of these influences, plus
plenty more, went into the creation of one of Wisconsins
newest craft breweries.
Dead Bird Brewing opened
in November of 2015 with their
first batch of flagship beer,
Pamplemousse, a grapefruit
American pale ale. They are
currently a contract brewery
that makes beer out of House of

MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE
I would like to take the opportunity

to thank everyone who has kept police
officers and the Middleton Police Department in your thoughts after the
tragedy that occurred in Dallas recently.
We have been inundated with good
thoughts, good deeds, personal notes,
Facebook posts, childrens drawings,
gift cards, flowers, plants, donations
and foodlots of food. The good
thoughts and deeds are appreciated, the
notes, posters, plants and flowers are
placed throughout the Department,
anything with a monetary value is
going into our MICOPP account (a
501(c)(3) fund that helps pay for programs like Shop With a Cop and National Night Out) and Im afraid to
Chief Foulke
admit the food is going to our waist

lines.
Typically, we discourage people
from giving gifts to the Police Department, were just doing our jobs and we
dont want to give the impression that
we would favor a person, business or
group because they gave us a fruit platter or made a donation. We quickly realized this was different, that this was
just as cathartic for the people stopping
by and dropping things off for us, as it
was heartwarming to our staff to be the
recipient of such generosity and caring.
So, on behalf of all of our staff
THANK YOU!
We will continue to try to live up to
your expectations. One cannot separate
the tragedy in Dallas with the events
leading up to last Thursday. Families

and communities are grieving in
Louisiana and Minnesota and we cannot forget about them. I dont know the
facts of those situations, so it would be
irresponsible for me to comment on
them. I do pledge to continue working
on following the recommendations of
the Presidents Task Force on 21st Century Policing, the Dane County Special
Task Force on Use of Force, on continuously reviewing and updating our
policies, on providing relevant, scenario based training for our officers
which includes de-escalation techniques, providing cultural/implicit bias
training, providing mental health training for our staff, providing officers
with the best equipment to keep them
safe and protect our citizens, to implement body worn cameras, to hire well
educated, well trained officers who
have diverse life experiences and to
continue our strong programs of community involvement and engagement.
It is a privilege to lead the professional men and women of the Middleton Police Department and we are
lucky to work in this community.
Sincerely,
Chief Charles Foulke

No decision yet on opting out of county zoning

by KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
The Middleton Town Board

on Monday gave the Plan Commission another meeting to decide whether to recommend
opting out of Dane County zoning before the town board takes
up the issue.
There needs to be a recommendation by the next meeting, said Town Chair Bill
Kolar. If not the board will act
on it.
State law changed this spring
to allow Dane County towns to
withdraw from county control
over zoning and land divisions.
Towns that opt out must develop a common zoning ordi-
nance to govern zoning without

the county having the final say.
The county is currently
rewriting its zoning ordinance,
which dates to 1938, and anticipates completing it by September 2017, according to the
countys Planning and Development Department.
Several towns have indicated
they will opt out including
neighboring Springfield and

Westport, said Board Supervisor Tim Roehl who lobbied the
state Legislature on behalf of
the opt-out bill.
Board Supervisor Gary Whitney said the Plan Commission
had a great discussion on the
opt out issue without reaching a
consensus.
A motion at the July 6 meeting to recommend opting out
failed by a 3-2 vote. The commission approve a motion to
further review the issue.
The commissions next
scheduled meeting is August 3.
The Town Board wants to
begin studying the benefits and
disadvantages of opting out and
adopting a zoning ordinance
backed by the Dane County
Towns Association. It must notify the county by mid-October
if it intends to ask the residents
to vote on opting out at the annual meeting in April.
A committee of interested
parties county-wide is about
half-way through its review of
the draft model zoning ordinance opt-out towns could
adopt, said Kolar.

If that committee approves it,
the ordinance would be distributed to towns for further review.
Kolar said there will be a
thorough vetting by the town
board of the draft ordinance and
consequences of opting out before the county would be notified and the question put before
the towns residents.
The residents will have the
ultimate say, Kolar said.
A joint meeting of the Town
Board and Plan Commission
was mentioned but not acted on
by the Commission, Whitney
said.
If [the Commission] wants a
joint meeting they should approve a motion and well consider it, Kolar said.
OTHER BUSINESS
The board reviewed a final
plat for Aspen Meadows Estates, a 12-lot residential subdivision located south of Valley
View Rd. and west of Meadow
Rd. The development will contribute $24,805 in Park fees.
The development needs board
and the county approval. The
boards next meeting is August
1.
The board also approved a
preliminary plat of the 10-lot
Spruce Valley residential subdivision by a 3-1 vote, with Roehl
dissenting. The development
will contribute $25,209 in park
fees. The subdivision is located
at 7594 Valley View Rd.

The board referred to the
Plan Commission consideration
of a new alignment of Bronner
and Koch roads. The referral
was caused by the board approving the realignment at its
last meeting without a recommendation from the Commission as statutes require, said
Town Engineer Rod Zubella.
Were we ahead of ourselves? Kolar asked.
Veridian Homes wants to develop a neighborhood it calls
Daybreak Estates; 41 residential
lots on a 56.5-acre tract just
north of Airport Rd. and
bounded on the north by Koch
Rd., on the east by Bronner Rd.,
Koch Rd. an on the west by
Voesen Rd.
The developer received
board approval earlier this year
to vacate portions of officially
mapped road segments that
would lie within the plat and allowed portions of Koch, Vosen
and Bronner roads to be realigned.
The board-approved preliminary plat also changes a cul-desac, Sunset Ridge Dr. ,to a
through street east to Bronner
Rd. Nearby residents remain
opposed to that change, which
the board will take up at a special August 22 meeting.

Middleton Center
parking proposal
Rotary at Youth Leadership Conference

Inside the lengthy city

debate about how much
parking is really needed
by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
The Middleton Plan Commission last week recommend approval of a parking

proposal for the downtown
redevelopment project known
as Middleton Center.
The development was out
on hold by city leaders until a
parking management plan
could be approved by the
common council. The parking proposal submitted by developer T. Wall Enterprises to
the plan commission, will be
incorporated into the parking
management plan, if approved by the council this
week.
Since T. Wall introduced
the massive redevelopment
project which includes seven
mixed use buildings with 205
residential units, 62,000
square feet of commercial
and office space built over
three phases, there have been
concerns about the number of
parking stalls. Walls initial
proposal included fewer
parking stalls than required
by city ordinance, according
to city staff.
Wall has made the case
that shared parking between
the office and residential uses
should be sufficient, though
downtown businesses and
residents have expressed uncertainty. The city required
Wall to hire a parking consultant. Walker parking consultants will work through
each phase of the development.
Walls parking proposal
submitted to the plan commission was essentially the
recommendations made by
Walker, which include leasing 40 off-site parking stalls
and installing car lifts in the
first phases of development.
Even with the off-site
parking the plan was still 12
stalls short of the city ordinance. To make up for that
Wall proposed installing 12
more lifts. Walker said that
would not hinder the shared
access.
City planning director
Eileen Kelley said the city
should require that no parking on the development be assigned for a particular use
and all will be available for
sharing. She added that the
lifts would probably be for
office use though. Wall does
not want restrictions either,
Kelley said.
Alder Hans Hilbert said
that could be solved by requiring the areas intended for
retail customers and visitors
be open to the public.
It appears we are approving this piecemeal trying to

piece this together, said plan
commission member Leif
Hubbard.
Hilbert said that was the
case - which was more work
but would ultimately provide
a better outcome.
Within phases two and
three they are going to have
to adjust those phases to accommodate and that is what
Walker is looking at right
now, but what we have told
them is that they need to meet
the city ordinance for city
parking requirements for
phase one to move forward
and what they proposed
Walker recommendations,
Hilbert said.
It works on paper, Hubbard said. But proximity to
businesses and all that other
stuff - does this really make
common sense?
My thought is, Hilbert
responded, by using the ordinance which is heavy on
parking compared to what we
were looking at for giving
them credits for shared solutions, this is a lot more comfortable than worrying that
we dont have enough because we allowed them to
have bicycle sharing or Zipcar or things like that.
I dont know that we
could hold them to any more
than this either, Hilbert
added. It adds a little work
to phases two and three but
this gets construction going
for this project.
Alder Kathy Olson asked
from the audience how the
developer was securing the
40 off-site parking spots.
There is nothing in writing, there is nothing that is
going to make people go
there, they could go away
anytime and we are left without 40 spots, Olson said.
And he is making the development bigger and bigger
even though we know we
have a parking spot problem.
Kelley said they would
have to be secured with some
type of agreement. The city
had not yet approved the additional square footage and it
will depend on the results of
the ongoing parking study,
said added.
Hilbert noted that the $7.3
million TIF agreement also
depends on the parking management plan and the project
needs the TIF agreement to
move forward.
A motion to recommend
approval by the common
council of the parking proposal passed the plan commission unanimously.

The Rotary Club of MadisonWest Towne-Middleton recently
took part in the RYLA Conference.
RYLA stands for Rotary
Youth Leadership Award and
the conference is a three-day
leadership training opportunity
that focuses on the personal and
professional development of
High School Sophomores.
The Rotary Club of MadisonWest Towne-Middleton sponsored a total of 11 students to
attend the RYLA conference
this year, conducted fromMay
13th to the 15th. On Friday,
June 17 students and parents
participated in a program at the

regular Rotary Club meeting to
express their impressions of the
conference and have an opportunity to thank the Club members for providing them with the
experience.
Leadership skills, concepts,
and metaphors are explored
through participatory outdoorbased activities that include
trust building exercises, problem solving initiatives, and low
and high challenge course experiences. The conference takes
place at Upham Woods Outdoor
Learning Center in Wisconsin
Dells. RYLA Students are se-
lected by their High School

Guidance Counselors, and
come from High Schools all
throughout Rotary District 6250
(which includes western Wisconsin).
The purpose of the conference to is provide a basis of
leadership principals learned in
an enjoyable atmosphere, where
the students instantly bond with
each other as they are split into
teams of about 15 students
each. This year there were a
total of 129 students attending,
with another 47 counselors and
student facilitators on hand to
guide and assist the students
with their learning. Participants

are considered the Leaders
ofTomorrow and treated with
respect as they gain effective
skills on how to act outside
their comfort zone to collaborate with other campers, and develop communication skills that
build self confidence and self
esteem. The students also learn
about the importance of Rotary,
as a international service organization that has made a huge impact on the lives of individuals
by conducting service programs
in the avenues of Vocational,
Community, and International
service.
Kay-Tee Olds, president of

the REACH-A-Child board
of directors, announced that the
organizations Executive Director, Carole Klopp, has retired.
Her successor is Curtis Fuszard.
Carole has spent 26 years
serving a variety of non-profit
organizations in a leadership
role, including MOM(Middleton Outreach Ministry), CESA
2 and the NYLC, St. Paul, MN.
During her three-year tenure
with REACH-A-Child, the
number of childrens books dis-
tributed to First Responders

across Wisconsin increased
five-fold. Due in part to her
many years as an educator, Carole was very effective in helping First Responders understand
the power of a book during a
seminal, traumatic moment for
the child. She will continue to
serve the organization as Director of Finance, but also plans to
spend more time with husband
Reid, family and friends.
Curt Fuszard recently completed a 40-year career com-
prised of military service and

private sector duties, primarily
in the investment field. Prior to
stepping in as Executive Director, Curt served as a member of
the REACH board of directors for four years. Curt also
serves as a board member for
the UW-Madison Wisconsin
Foundation and Alumni Association, the US Army Community
Advisory Group, the Financial
Planning Association of Wisconsin, the Middleton Optimist
Club and the Middleton Endowment.

Founded in 2007, REACHA-Child is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a
mission to serve children-in-crisis across with Wisconsin, by
providing childrens books and
backpacks to First Responders
so they have an important resource to deliver when encountering these children.

MUSIC
Arjun, is involved in a dizzying

whirlwind of musical activities
and organizations in Dane
County and abroad.
She founded and runs Arohana School of Music out of her
Middleton home. She is the devoted student of her current
guru,
Chitravina
N.
Ravikiran, and she fondly remembers all her prior Gurus as
well. She is currently busy helping lead the Melharmony Foundation, which works to bridge
the divide between Eastern and
Western classical music traditions. She organizes local concerts, and she even teaches an
online course at her alma matter
in India. In her spare time, she
and her husband, professor Krishnan Suresh, are teaching
children the concepts of programming through 3-D printing, hoping to inspire more
young girls to become scientists.
The story that follows represents only a tiny portion
of Sureshs seemingly boundless energy and enthusiasm in
the realm of music.
Arohana School of Music

In the rolling interior of a
Middleton home overlooking a
field of rapidly growing corn,
four young musicians are having a jam session. They warm
up, chat a bit about what they
want to play, then riff and experiment within the musics ancient and complex framework.
But this is not your typical
Midwestern garage band.
Seated on the floor, using
their voices, drums and a violin,
they are not playing American
rock or pop. They are performing Carnatic songs, a form of
classical music with origins
stretching back into southern
Indias early history. According
to legend, its roots run even
deeper, all the way to Devas and
Devis; the Hindu gods who are
believed to have been the
musics initial source.
This is the home of Vanitha
Suresh, a lover of Carnatic
music. For the past few years, it
has also served as a base of operations for Arohana School of

Music, where students from
across the country come to learn
about the music - and about the
culture that is woven into its
very fabric.
Standing in the rooms
arched entryway, wrapped in an
elegant blue sari, Suresh is
quick to deflect praise. She is
still very much a student, she
says, despite the fact that she
spends so much of her time
teaching.
It is an ocean, Suresh says
of Carnatic music. You can
only get your feet wet. In my
opinion, an entire lifetime is not
enough.
Unless I continue to learn, I
cannot grow as a teacher, she
adds in a melodic voice that
borders on music itself, even in
casual conversation.
While she discusses the
music, the lush smells of homemade Indian food drift in from
the kitchen, where a birthday
cake is enjoying its final few
moments before being devoured
by a crowd of hungry young
students who are here to study
traditional Indian music from
Suresh.
For Suresh, who was born in
Chennai, India, immersed in
music from the age of three, and
arrived in the United States at
the age of 23, this is a combination of art and family - of enjoyment and discipline. The
students, who range in age from
elementary schoolers through
high school, come from Middleton, Madison, Chicago, California and beyond. While they
are here, they are like family,
they say.
It is a school modeled after
one where Suresh spent much
of her time learning Carnatic
music from Guru T.N. Bala in
Philadelphia.
It was a home away from
home for us, she recalls. We
would study, eat food we were
like children to them.
There is no question who
rules the house. Suresh, who is
vibrant, warm and welcoming,
can silence a young musician in
his or her tracks with no more
than a quick, critical glance.
The music, which is written
in a system that seems completely foreign to those only familiar with its western
counterparts scales and notes,
requires exceptional discipline,
as well as creativity. The closest
Western counterpart, they all
agree, is jazz.
It is full of oscillations,
Suresh explains.
It is more intricate, says
Sahana Kumar, who traveled
from her home in California to
study with Suresh. And because of that, I think its more
beautiful. Its not just whats on
the page. There is more to it

than that.
Both current and former students jump in to offer their own
takes on the Carnatic philosophy. Imagine infinite, non-linear scales, they say. It can
incorporate Western instruments like violin and saxophone. It is related to but
distinct from other forms of Indian classical (such as Hindustani), in part because the
influence of Persian and Muslim music in northern India
caused music there to move
away from its Carnatic roots. Its
basic form is simple, but its possibilities are limitless. One former student of Suresh, who is
now 41, likens it to poetry.
First, you learn the alphabet, he explains. Then you
learn sentences. Only then can
you learn poetry, and that is
only the beginning.
Arohana School of Music,
they say, is a vibrant cultural
ecosystem where people learn
about Indias rich cultural heritage without leaving the heart
of the American Midwest.
This all requires a lot of
work, according to the students.
You learn discipline more
than anything else, says
Kumar. You wonder, when you
are four, why you have to sit inside and practice while other
kids play outside. But then you
get older, and you learn that the
practice means something. You
learn to put work into it because it means something.
The Melharmony
Foundation
A few weeks later, Suresh is
busy preparing for a special
Concerts on the Square performance
in
Madison.
On Wednesday, July 27, at 7
p.m. on the corner of King
Street and the Capitol Square,
Chitravina N. Ravikiran, her
Guru, who has been called the
Mozart of Indian music, and
other musicians from the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra will
introduce audiences to the
sounds of Melharmony.
Melharmony is a fresh approach to world music thatexplores new chords and
harmonies
anchored
on
the rules and aesthetics of
evolved melodic systems. It is
a form of fusion that meshes
harmony-centric systems like
Western classical and jazzwith
melody-centricsystems such as
Indian classical. In simpler
terms, Eastern music tends to
focus on note progression,
while Western music tends to
focus on chords.
Suresh is the Melharmony
Foundations executive director.
Melharmony is an amazing
concept that brings together
melody and harmony, she says.

On Wednesday, July 27,

at 7 p.m. on the corner of
King Street and the Capitol
Square, Chitravina N. Ravikiran (above) and other musicians from the Wisconsin
Chamber Orchestra will introduce audiences to the
sounds of Melharmony.
It brings cultures together by

focusing on similarities rather
than differences.
Suresh, one of the first females engineers hired by
Siemens in India, and a devoted
yoga practitioner, says music
can teach people much about
art, history, philosophy, math
and culture as a whole.
To someone who has lived
and flourished in two different
worlds, it makes perfect sense
to bring them together. Suresh
grew up singing along with
both Carnatic Ragas and Christian Christmas carols. Today,
she uses Western nursery
rhymes to help her youngest
students begin understanding
the complexities of Carnatic
music.
When I was growing up in
India, Western classical music
was considered world music. I
listened to it as lot, she points
out. Now, living here, Indian
classical is considered world
music.
Created in 2000 by Ravikiran, the concept of Melharmony
has evolved and grown, she
says. The foundation itself was
started as a 501(c)3 non-profit,
in 2015.
For the past decade or
so, Suresh has split her time between learning and teaching.
Once we feel weve conquered something, we always
want to move on to the next
challenge, she says. But
[music] is unending. I think the
best way to learn more is to
teach what you know, because
the moment you share something it only gets clearer in your
mind.
I think mostly this is a cultural thing for me, she adds. I
have kids with different religions who study from me. NonIndians too. What weve created
is an extended community.

Sunflower
Days
at
thePopeFarmConservancy has
become a beautiful annual event
for thousands of people. Visitors from near and far come to
see this visual phenomenon - a
nine-acre sunflower field with
over 500,000 sunflowers in
bloom. It is truly a magical experience.
New this year, the sunflower

field is in a new location this
year due to crop rotation, and
the viewing area will be in the
center of the Conservancy. That
means all visitors must hike at
least 1 mile (round trip) along a
mowed, grassy trail to catch a
glimpse of the these radiant
beauties. Please keep this in
mind as you consider visiting.

Pope Farm Conservancy is
located at 7440 W Old Sauk Rd,
Verona, WI 53593. The Conservancy is open from dawn until
dusk, and all parking areas will
close at sunset.
If it is raining, the Conservancy parking lots will be
closed to allow the field to dry
out. Dogs are not allowed in the

Conservancy, and all equestrian
access will be closed during
Sunflower Days.
Go to popefarmconservancy.orgfor full event details,
including a detailed map with
the sunflower field, parking
areas, hiking trails, and best
viewing areas.
The Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy is sponsoring a music series entitled Tunes on Tuesdays now through
August 9. So far, the free outdoor concerts have been a bit
hit. The idea is to allow local musicians a natural setting to
play acoustic music for the community.
Each session begins at 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. and they are held
at various locations in the Conservancy. All concerts are free
and open to the public.

City approves Laser Express TIF

by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
The Middleton Common

Council recently approved the
specific implementation plan
and $1,474,427 in developer-financed tax increment financing
(TIF) assistance for the laser
printer manufacturer and distributer Laser Express.
The SIP is contingent on the
Laser Express contractors
being able to redesign a part of
the plan that calls for a 20-foot
retaining wall and steep slope as
well as approval from the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) to move fill dirt onto airport property. The TIF agreement is contingent on approval
from the citys airport commission and the Bureau of Aeronautics.
Laser Express is currently on
Madisons south side but proposed moving its location into
Middleton north of the Lexus
dealer on Airport Road and west
of the Beltline and south of the
Highwood Circle Estates neighborhood. Company owner
Brian Faust says they have 49
employees with annual wages
totaling $2.3 million. He says
the Middleton location would
have 47 employees with plans
to expand.
The new Laser Express site is
planned to be built in three
phases and two 60,000-square
foot warehouse buildings and
one 16,560 square foot office
building. The first two phases
would be the warehouses and
the third phases would be the
office building with underground parking.
Alder Hans Hilbert expressed
the same sentiments he did at
the plan commission a week
earlier when the SIP was recom-

mended for approval by the

common council.
I feel that the proposed SIP
for this site was designed for
some other imaginary site that
does not exist on this hill,
Hilbert said. They are trying to
take a piece of land that isnt
suitable for this development
and build large retaining walls
and pave 12 acres of open space
to accommodate the proposed
use, so I dont support rezoning
at this time.
Alder Howard Teal said the
contractors would need approval from the FAA to move
the surplus soil onto airport
property as proposed in the
SIP. The motion to approve
with a contingent on a revision
of the retaining wall and slope
passed unanimously.
The developer-financed TIF
request for $1,474,427 is to assist with extraordinary costs
including lead contamination in
the soil, bedrock removal,
stormwater detention installation, retaining walls and energy
efficiency measures. Alder
Hilbert said he wasnt comfortable approving a TIF agreement
with the lack of information the
developer provided, stating: If
we are going to be spending
public dollars on this project I
would like to know exactly
what we are spending those dollars on before [we] agree to it.
I think it is premature to get
into a TIF agreement on this site
without a written document that
clearly expresses what the
DNRs regulatory position is on
the lead remediation and what
the developers exact plan is to
meet those regulations, Hilbert
said. We got a letter today that
basically says the sky is the
limit, we dont know what we
are doing and a week ago we

heard that they dont have to do

very much except cap the area
with a parking lot.
Alder Gurdip Brar asked why
$200,000 was requested in TIF
assistance for bedrock removal.
Bret Newcomb of Newcomb
construction said, Middleton
has probably the most variable
soil conditions in the state. He
added that this site was the most
challenging he has ever worked
on.
Newcomb said when they
dug test holes in some spots
they hit rock at four feet, others
at eight feet and some spots
much deeper. He said some
areas will need to be blasted to
set the foundation but others
they will be able to set on the
rock.
Anytime you are working
with subsurface investigation
everything has a budget until
you get into it. Having worked
on some of the most complicated sites in Middleton I really
believe this is the most challenging when it comes to trying
to estimate it, Newcomb said.
In part because it has a little bit
of everything and then you have
the lead and that makes it that
much more challenging.
Brar asked why the bedrock
removal was a TIF-eligible expense. City attorney Larry
Bechler said it was like any
other TIF request the city has
approved for poor soil conditions.
Even though it may be normal for Middleton its not normal for a constriction project of
this kind, Bechler explained.
It is the flip side of all the
buildings we have built on the
floor of Glacial Lake Wisconsin. There is a lot of them out
there where we had to do incredible amounts of soil sur-

charging and building up the
property. This is the flip side, it
is not like building on a farm
field that is perfectly normal
and there is no unusual conditions.
These are unusual conditions and so in my view it is appropriate as a TIF Expensive
just the same as the buildings on
swampy sites in other parts of
the city. Bechler said to Brar.
And remember we are not
going to pay unless they prove
what
the
costs
were,
MayorKurt Sonnentag added.
Brar asked if the Lexus

dealer should have some responsibility for removing the
soil contaminated with lead on
the site since they put it there
during their construction.
City administrator Mike
Davis said that was not likely
because at the time it was approved by the DNR. He also
noted that the property was later
sold it to Vanta who sold it to
Faust. Davis suggested that the
proposed development was a
classic TIF situation.
Really this is a classic TIF
situation because this site has

been very difficult to develop
for some time because of the
lead contamination and obviously because some of the other
factors with the hill and the rock
as well, Davis said.
The motion to approve contingent on approval from the
Airport Commission and Bureau of Aeronautics for the
placement of clean soil on the
airport property passed five to
three with alders West, Hilbert,
and Olson voting in opposition.

Ashton comes up short

As fall to the Black Earth Bombers by score of 10-2
by ADAM HATLAN
Times-Tribune
In a Sunday afternoon battle

of Northern Division opponents, the Black Earth Bombers
cruised to a 10-2 victory over
the visiting Ashton As in a
Home Talent League baseball
game played at Jerry Barsness
Field in Black Earth.
The Bombers scored early
and often, leading 9-2 after four
innings. They were able to put
the game out of reach early on
the backs of a strong offensive
output and some solid pitching.
Black Earth mashed 14 hits
in the game. Lead-off man Rob
Capner set the tone, finishing
the day 4-5 at the plate.
Everybody was seeing the
ball really well. Its just a matter
of seeing it and hitting it, said
Capner after the win.
Ashton managed eight hits
on the day, struggling to get into
any kind of rhythm against the
Bomber pitching staff.
Myles Potuznik was the
starter for Black Earth but left
after four innings due to arm
soreness, and Clay Hinz pitched
the final five frames in relief to
pick up the win, striking out
three batters and allowing just
seven baserunners along the
way.
We got all the confidence in
the world in him [Hinz]. He
pitched great in relief to get the
five inning win today, said
Black Earth manager Eric Duhr.
Outside of a 17-1 drubbing of
Mazomanie on Saturday, Ashton has struggled to score runs
of late, scoring just seven runs
combined in their three games
prior to beating Mazomanie.
With the two runs Sunday, its
just nine runs combined in four
of their last five games.
Its a slump right now.
Today it just wasnt working for
us, said Ashton manager Dave

Adler.
Ashton starting pitcher Jameson Lavery accumulated a lot of
two strike counts on the Black
Earth hitters but was unable to
finish off the pesky Bomber
batters. Lavery took the loss, allowing 9 runs (5 earned) on 12
hits, lasting just 3.1 innings.
Black Earth got the party
started in the bottom of the first
inning.
Rob Capner singled to leadoff the inning and then stole
second base. Duhr followed
with a single, which set the
table for the games first run.
On a third straight single to start
the game, Myles Potuznik delivered, scoring Capner from
third base. An RBI-groundout
by Marcus Caminiti scored
Duhr and made the score 2-0
after the first inning.
Ashton answered in the top
of the second, getting a lead-off
walk from clean-up hitter Nolan
Kouba, followed by a sharp single by designated hitter Derek
Prochaska. A passed ball on
Bomber catcher Danny Watkins
allowed Kouba and Prochaska
to move into scoring position.
Carter Hoffman followed with a
sacrifice squeeze bunt, scoring
Kouba and leading to Ashtons
first run of the game. Tanner
Meinholz followed Hoffmans
bunt with a run-scoring single,
allowing Prochaska to scamper
home from third to tie the game
at two heading to the bottom
half of the inning.
Black Earth would take the
lead in the bottom of the second
and never look back.
Jed Traxler led off the inning
with a single. Danny Watkins
then drew a one-out walk, and
Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld
Myles Potuznik, the Black Earth starter, left the game after just four innings due to arm soreness.
Capner followed with his second hit of the game to load the
bases for Duhr. Duhr delivered
with an RBI-single, scoring
Traxler from third. Myles Potuznik rounded out the scoring
for the inning with an RBIgroundout that scored Watkins
to make it a 4-2 game after two
innings.
Caminiti delivered an infield
single to start things off in the
third. Curtis Barsness came up
next and hit a single of his own.
After Caminiti and Barsness
each stole a base, Black Earth
had runners at second and third
with just one out.
Ashton looked like they were
going to escape unscathed after

throwing Caminiti out at home
on a scoring attempt for the second out, but an error by left
fielder Tanner Meinholz on
what would have been the third
out opened the flood gates.
Meinholz charged in on a fly
ball hit by Watkins but was unable to corral it. Barsness scored
on the error to make it a 5-2 advantage. Capner stepped up and
manufactured his third hit of the
game to again load the bases for
Duhr. Duhr was hit by a pitch,
scoring Matt Bakkum, who had
reached earlier in the inning on
a fielders choice, making it 62. Ashton catcher Kasey Miller
helped out Black Earth by attempting a pick-off throw to

first base that ended up in right
field, allowing Watkins to score
the final run of the inning, giving Black Earth a 7-2 cushion
after three.
In the bottom of the fourth,
Black Earth decided they
werent quite done.
After Caminiti reached on an
error, Barsness delivered his
second hit of the game. Traxler
came up next, cracking a long
single that allowed Caminiti to
score from second and push the
score to 8-2. A walk to Bakkum
loaded the bases for Watkins,
who would end up being the
final batter faced by Lavery.
Watkins came through with a
single, scoring Barsness to give
the Bombers a 9-2 lead.
Both teams got some quality
innings down the stretch from
their relief pitchers, as Ashton
got effective work from Nick
Maier and Adam Nutting, and
Black Earth got the strong relief
outing from Hinz.
Black Earths final run came
in the seventh inning as Watkins
came around to score on an
error by Ashton shortstop Nolan

Kouba for the games final run,
giving the Bombers the 10-2
lead and the eventual final
score.
Ashton was led by Carter
Hoffman at the plate, who was
2-3 with an RBI.
Black Earth leading hitters
were Capner (4-5, 1 R, 1 SB),
Duhr (2-3, 2 RBI, 1 R),
Barsness (2-4, 2 R, 1 SB), and
Traxler (2-4, 1 RBI, 1 R).
Ashton needed a win to keep
pace with Black Earth, Cross
Plains, and Middleton, who are
ahead of them in the standings.
They face Cross Plains and
Middleton over the final two
weeks of the regular season.
We have to split at least [the
final two games]. Well find out
some way to get there, said
Dave Adler.
The win was an important
one for Black Earth as it keeps
them in the hunt for the two
seed in the playoffs.
Added Duhr: We want to
get a home-field game in the
first round of the playoffs. Its a
huge win.

BEER
PAGE 12
Brews in Madison.
I am also the headbrewerat
House of Brews so I get to brew
our beer even though we are a
contract brewery, explains
Kocis. We strive to make
unique, well-crafted beers that
are either hop forward and/or
feature local ingredients.
The name stems from the
story of our first brew kettle
back when we started home
brewing in college at UW-Platteville. We needed a large pot
to boil in and looked to Jeremys parents defunct turkey
frying kettle, Kocis continued.
We found it in their attic with
a small dead sparrow inside.
We washed that kettle every
way we could think of but we
always joked that every beer we
ever made would have a little
dead bird in it. That kettle is
long gone but the name stuck.
Kocis earliest memories of
beer involve a basement refrigerator full of Pabst Blue Ribbon, which once each year gave
way to blonde doppelbock.
The notion of craft beer had
barely begun, but that coveted
six-pack was given special
treatment even back then,
Kocis recalled My next major

exposure to beer was in college. Jeremy and I bartended
ourselves through college and
have probably both lost count of
how many Spotted Cows or
Hopalicious we have tapped
over the years. We learned
about craft beer through serving
it to other people.
At one point I had a Warped
Speed from Lake Louie and
thought, Wow! That is really
good!, he continued. As our
tastes grew, from the ultra cheap
in our early years to more craft
beers, we started thinking that it
might be cheaper to make our
own.
That assumption, he added,
was incredibly misguided. But
it was also fortuitous.
Oh how wrong we were!
Kocis said. We started with
some homebrew kits from wine
and hop shop and they turn out
alright. We kept investing in
equipment and soon had way
outspent our beer budget on
homebrew gadgets.
As with any brewer, or appreciator, of beer, they began developing their own unique
tastes and styles.
Im a sucker for a good Oktoberfest or a well balanced IPA

- nothing that scars your palate,
but shows off the complexity of
the hops, or a really good sour but more often than not Im disappointed when it comes to
sours, Hach said. The good
ones out there are incredible
though, so I will always give
them a try.
And since making beer is a
classic convergence of art and
science, they get to exercise
both sides of their brain while
doing it.
Im drawn toward the art
and the history of making beer,
explained Hach. How it
shaped our current civilizations
and how adding a touch of this
and a pinch of that can change
aromas and taste of this liquid.
I think Nick and I would agree
that to us, and the majority of
the craft beer industry, its much
more than a product, beer is our
connection to the past. It is possible to drink the beers Benjamin Franklin drank, or Henry
VIII, or the first civilizations.
What is most exciting is to be
able to be a part of that lineage.
Kocis, a self-described hop-
head, says he can appreciate

both the malty and the bitter
ends of the brewing spectrum,
from palette wrecking triple
[India Pale Ales] to more nuanced session [American Pale
Ales].
Locally Im a big fan of Ale
Asylums Bedlam! and Karben4s Tokyo Sauna, Kocis
said.
Kocis interest in fermentation extends back to the early
days of human civilization, he
adds.
The first thing I ever made
was mead, a honey wine commonly believed to be the first
fermented beverage made by
man, he recalled. I was studying biochemistry and molecular
biology at the time, and I was
intrigued how such a simple organism can make such magic
happen. I still love seeing a fermenter blow over with krausen
[thats the sticky substance that
yeast produces as it ferments].
The idea that hundreds of billions of cells are consuming
sugar and respiring at such a
rate as to fill a 400-plus gallon
vessel and continue until it is all
over the floor is amazing!
Kocis admits that his enjoyment of the spectacle diminishes
significantly
when
cleanup work begins.
Dane County has seen a proliferation of craft breweries in
the past decade. Hach and
Kocis plan to embrace their
youth as well as the regions illustrious brewing history in an
attempt to find their own place.
We are surely the new kids
on the block, said Kocis.
Were still learning both ends
of the business. I think, I hope,
that we will become a mainstay,
at least locally.
Their primary goal, regardless of profits and marketing
strategies, he said, is to make
good beer.
We dont have to make the
greatest beer in the world, continued Kocis. But we do have
to make beer that sets us apart
from the pack. Our motto is
Outstanding Beer by Upstanding Gentlemen. I think we
need to live up to both of those
descriptions. Our beer must
stand out from the crowd and
we need to be upstanding about
it in every sense.
As a small operation, Dead
Bird will acknowledge and embrace the greater beer community, he said.
To echo Nick on this, it really is about being part of the
community, agreed Hach. In
the old days, every town had a
brewery and they were as much
part of the local scene as any of
the other locally owned businesses. Thats all changed in
the last 50 years. So many
towns look exactly the same
and have the exact same chain
stores selling the exact same
products.
Its as if America has gotten
bleached and sanitized, Hach
continued. The craft beer

movement is one of the few industries that has made a comeback in small communities. In
a brewing landscape that up
until 25-30 years ago was essentially the quality of TV dinners, craft beer has provided
home cooked meals.
On the business side of the
equation, Hach said he finds
ample inspiration in his father,
who ran Action Heating and Air
Conditioning for nearly four
decades.
Being honest, having fair
prices for good quality products
and services, Hach said. It
sounds so easy when you say it,
but in every industry, in every
company there are so many
ways to cut corners to make a
little extra and it really takes
dedication to not do that, because you know that its dishonest and it ultimately would
reflect badly on us and our supporters.
Circling back to the community aspect, when you embrace your local community
you wouldnt make bad products for your community, he
added.
Both Kocis and Hach harken
back to their days at Middleton
High School, where they established the building blocks on
which their new brewery is
built.
In high school I was a big
science nerd; I still am, said
Kocis. I loved the science
courses I took while at MHS.
The AP program had recently
added chemistry, biology and
physics and I took all three.
My background gives me a
pretty good grasp of what goes
on in the fermentation process
and lots of that knowledge
started in high school, he said.
Kocis is also something of a
Francophile. In fact, Pamplemousse, Dead Birds first beer,
gets its name from the French
word for grapefruit. That too
has its origins at Middleton
High School, where Kocis enjoyed studying the French language.
Hach said DECA, the student
marketing organization, as well
as a course called engineering
problem solving were both key
in his education. It was the
course they made duct tape
boats and Rube Goldberg machines, as well as other things,
but trust me, flash forward 10
years when we were constructing our electric one barrel brewing system and I was glad I took
that course, he said.
Peering into the future, Kocis
said they also want to give back
to the community in which their
dream of founding their own
brewery has taken flight.
We currently are working
with Goodman Community
Center to get their soda bar
going for their Teen Caf, said
Kocis. We donated some
equipment so they can make
soda water themselves and will
be working with them to train

the kids as the summer progresses. We are also working
with a job placement program
for special needs adults for
some of our promotional items.
Our coasters and buttons are
made by a special needs individual who comes to House of
Brews for a couple hours a
week to help out. Were also
hoping to do some charity beers
in the future that will have percentages of our profits going to
community centers and neighborhood organizations.
It makes sense. And with
their outstanding beer already
on shelves, these two upstanding gentlemen have come a long
way since those early days
when they were just looking for
a kettle to brew in.
Dead Bird is available at several locations in Middleton.

Greenway funds gynecologic cancer research
Greenway Station
Funds
Gynecologic
Cancer Research
Every year, more than

80,000 women in the United
States are told they have gynecologic cancer, and more than
25,000 women die from a gynecologic cancer. These statistics
from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention are
staggering. What the CDC also
notes is that early detection is
key for the survivability of gynecologic cancers. Greenway
Station Shopping Center holds
an annual fundraiser called
Ladies Night Out; this year,
100% of admission fees collected at the event will benefit
patient care and research for
women whose lives have been
touched by gynecologic cancers. In addition, many of
Greenway Stations newest re-
tailers and restaurants will be

participating in the event, including Glimpse LASH.
Ladies Night Out will be
held, rain or shine, onThursday,
July 28from5-8pmat Greenway Station Shopping Center.
Admission is a $5 donation to
benefit Sparkle of Hope, an organization that raises awareness
of gynecologic cancers and
funds for important research.
Admission includes free appetizers and beverages from
Johnnys Italian Steakhouse, Biaggis, Noodles & Company,
Fuji Sushi & Hibachi and Cosi.
Plus, attendees get to participate
in prize giveaways, raffles, exclusive sales and discounts and
the first 300 attendees at the
event will receive a free $10
Greenway Station gift card.
Sparkle of Hope will have volunteers at every booth as well as
cancer survivors and physicians
who are passionate about creating awareness of gynecologic
cancers. For complete details
on Ladies Night Out, please
visitwww.greenwayshopping.c

Glimpse LASH opened
just in time to participate in
Ladies Night Out. Opening for
business on Tuesday, July 5,
this full-service boutique offers
semi-permanent eyelash extensions specially developed to enhance the length and thickness
of natural lashes. The Greenway Station boutique located at
1701 Deming Way, Suite 118 is
the flagship store for the lash
extension concept created by
local entrepreneur, Angela
Mikkelson, with two other partners. During Ladies Night Out,
Glimpse LASH will be supporting the cause by offering ongoing demos and 25% off all
services booked by attendees.
Plus, theyll be raffling off multiple certificates for their
Glimpse Signature Set service. For more information on
Glimpse
LASH,
please
visitwww.glimpselash.com.
In preparation for Ladies
Night Out and to increase

awareness of gynecologic cancers, the UW Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology had
one of their Physician Assistants, Joanne Rash, put together
a short list of signs and symptoms for the most common
forms of gynecologic cancers.
It is our hope that spreading this
knowledge will save lives by increasing the odds of early detection.
Gynecologic Cancer Signs

and Symptoms by Joanne
Rash, MPAS, PA-C
After working in Gynecologic

Oncology for 10 years, if I
could grab every womans attention for 5 minutes this is
what I would say.
Please pay attention to your

body. Trust yourself to know if
something is new or different.
You dont need to know what is
wrong, but you do want to call
the following signs and symptoms to the attention of your

health care team. Gynecologic
cancers symptoms can be subtle. Think of your body whispering to you clues that there is
a change.
Ovarian Cancer
-Bloating
-Pelvic or abdominal pain
-Difficulty eating or feeling
full quickly
-Urinary symptoms (urgency
or frequency)
Uterine Cancer
-Any vaginal bleeding after
menopause
-Unusual bleeding or vaginal
discharge
-Pain or feeling fullness in
the pelvic area or lower abdomen
-Fibroids that grow quickly
after menopause
Cervical Cancer
-Abnormal vaginal bleeding,
especially after intercourse
-Vaginal discharge
-Odor (strange/unpleasant)
-Pain (during sex or in pelvic
area during other activities)
Vulvar Cancer
-Vulvar itching that does not
improve
-Change in skin color around
the vulva
-Change in the feel of your
skin around vulva
-Wart-like bumps or sores on
vulva or clitoral area
-Pain with urination (on the

skin)
-Bleeding and discharge not
related to menstrual cycle
-Enlarged glands in groin
Now that you are aware of

the signs and symptoms of Gynecologic Cancers, please pass
this forward to the ladies in
your life. As women, we talk
about pregnancy, menopause
and intimacy but we also need
to talk about gynecologic cancer. My sincerest hope is that
early detection becomes more
common place. That by raising
awareness of gynecologic cancers, we can all work towards
prevention of cancers, early detection, improved treatments,
and ultimately better health of
the women in our community.
