DANE COUNTY–Heavy
rainfall and violent winds ripped
through Dane County on Aug.
20, leaving people without
power, others evacuated from
their homes, cars under water,
trees downed and a caused a jet
fuel spill at Morey Airport in
Middleton.
Rainfall amounts of eight
inches to the record breaking
15.33 inches in Cross Plains were
reported around the county. The
Cross Plains total was the most
ever recorded in a 24-hour period
in Wisconsin according to the
National Weather Service. The
former record was set in 1946
in Mellen, when they had 11.72
inches in the same time frame.
Early Tuesday morning Al-
liant Energy reported over 500
people without power, primarily
in Middleton, Cross Plains and
West Madison. Madison Gas &
Electric (MGE) said about 6,000
of their customers were without
power. Both companies worked
to restore power as quickly as
possible, but MGE said up to
1,000 could remain without
power until Thursday.
Widespread damage through-
out the area was reported. In Mid-
dleton people were left stranded
at Costco, the Fairfield Inn and
other businesses nearby. Middle-
ton Police Chief Chuck Foulke
said Costco self-evacuated and
Fairfield Inn provided a shuttle to
take guests to other hotels.
Foulke said the biggest chal-
lenge was, “getting people out of
vehicles and buildings, keeping
people from driving through bar-
ricades and closed roads.”
Countless cars, disabled by
high water, were still abandoned
on city streets Tuesday morning.
The Middleton Fire Depart-
ment responded to 33 calls by
early Tuesday morning, many of
them from stranded motorists.
“We had boats here from
Madison, McFarland and Beloit
checking vehicles to see if there
were any occupants,” said Brad
Subera, battalion chief.
After police closed Hwy. 14
and Hwy. 12, they left fire equip-
ment by the barricades to launch
the boats and reach unlucky mo-
torists, Subera said.
“We’ve had 12 tow-ins, “al-

ready, said Will Hudson, co-
owner of Middleton Ford.
Although the power was off
at the dealership until 11:30 a.m.
and the phones weren’t working
motorists needed service, some
wanted test drives.
“We limited those to the park-
ing lot,” Hudson stated.
Cars driven in Monday night’s
storm may have delayed effects
from the flood, Hudson said,
as electrical problems may not
show up immediately.
Ace Hardware at Middleton
Springs sold out of sump pumps
and shop-vacs early Tuesday
morning, said Steve Jordee, op-
erations manager.
“They were flying out the
door. We’ve got another truck
due in this (Tuesday) afternoon,”
he said.
The phones have been “ring-
ing off the hook; it’s like a Satur-
day here, crazy,” said Jordee
Cleaning supplies, mold re-
mover and Flex Seal, the wa-
terproof tape advertised on
television, have all been big
sellers in the wake of the storm,

Storm Washes Out Board Meeting
BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–Monday
night’s deluge prevented most
Town of Middleton board super-
visors from attending a scheduled
meeting, washing out consid-
eration of a state lease to house
sexually violent offenders and
other business.
On Tuesday morning, Town
Chair Cynthia Richson was try-
ing to re-schedule the meeting for
Wednesday night.
Rainfall reported in excess of
eight inches inundated some in-
tersections, topped Airport Rd.
and gushed down Rocky Dell
and other steely inclined roads
making travel impossible if not
dangerous.
“By seven o’clock we just
ended the meeting for lack of a
quorum,” Richson said.
The town was notified last
week that a Racine County cir-
cuit judge wanted to release to
a state-lease residence, James
M. Lalor, 52, convicted in 1992
of 1st-degree sexual assault of a
child.
The Department of Health
Services has housed sexually
violent offenders released under
conditions at a residence on Min-
eral Point Rd. west of Blackhawk
Church. However, the lease may
have expired August 1 and Rich-
son was uncertain Tuesday if it
had been renewed.
“We didn’t get a 60-day no-
tice (from DHS) about (Lalor’s
possible release). I think we got a
week’s notice, and we needed to
object soon to the Racine County
(offender) being released here,”
she said.
A letter to Racine County
Circuit Judge Mark Nielsen was
being sent this week, Richson
ing lots, and streets had partial
washouts or debris from falling
trees. Several city streets were
closed as were businesses in the
area.
Black Earth and Mazomanie
were some of the hardest hit
areas. A bridge was washed out
on Hwy. 14 in Black Earth caus-
ing the road to be closed. Much
said.
A call to DHS Tuesday about
the status of the leased residence
was not returned by deadline.
Lalor’s attorney, Evan Weitz,
declined to discuss DHS’ release
plan for his client citing pending
litigation in the case.
Weitz did confirm that he was
challenging a state statute that
prohibits the release of a sexually
violent offender within 1,500 feet
from a church or school.
Nielsen recently ordered DHS
to respond to Weitz’s constitu-
tional challenge to the placement
of sexually violent offenders near
churches or schools. No future
court dates have been set in the
matter, Weitz said.
Further east along Mineral
Point Rd., plans are being made
to install traffic signals at the Pio-
neer Rd. intersection.
Even though the intersection
did not meet all the criteria for the
Dane County to provide funding
for the traffic signals, Richson
credited Town Administrator
David Shaw and Town Engineer
Rod Zubella with successfully
lobbying the highway depart-
ment to split the cost.
“We’ve received a lot of calls
from residents concerned about
safety at that intersection and I
think that was a factor in getting
the county money for the sig-
nals,” Richson said.
She anticipates the town board
will fund the town’s share of the
intersection costs in the 2019
budget.
Deputy Highway Commission
Pamela Dunphy said the inter-
section is part of repaving CTH
S (Mineral Point Rd.) next year
from the town of Pine Bluff to
just east of Pioneer Rd.
“It will be in our budget (re-
of Hwy. 14 was closed between
Mazomanie and Middleton and
traffic redirected onto Hwy. 60 to
Hwy. 12.
Evacuations from residential
homes were necessary in both
those communities as well as

quest). The dollar amount isn’t
available yet but the estimates
will be coming in soon, including
the signalization of the intersec-
tion,” she said Monday.
If approved by the county
board of supervisors, the project
would repave CTH S due to its
deteriorated surface, she said.
Just days before Monday’s
deluge, the county notified
the town week it was awarded
a $392,000 grant toward a
$524,000 storm water manage-
ment project planned for Stone
Brook Estates.
The project has not been de-
signed and the Stone Brook
Homeowners Association still
have to be consulted. However,
the town appreciates the coun-
ty’s funding 75 percent of a facil-
ity that would reduce suspended
solids, including phosphorous, in
storm water runoff, Shaw said
last week.
“We’re the only town and
we were awarded the biggest
amount,” said Shaw, of the six
grants totaling $662,527 for mu-
nicipalities that County Exec-
utive Joe Parisi announced last
week.
The town board is also con-
sidering an ordinance that would
fine persons for unauthorized dis-
posal of yard waste, construction
and other material at town hall.
“There’s been sod dumped,
broken concrete by people who
don’t want to pay the (landfill)
tipping fee. Some Mondays you
can barely get in (behind town
hall),” she said.
The proposed ordinance
would restrict use of the dump-
sters behind town hall to town
residents and other authorized
users, imposed a $300 maximum
fine for violators.

were taken to the American
Legion Hall and the Fire De-
partment for the night and some
remained at press time.
Many of the streets in Cross
Plains were under water and
Main St. looked like it had a river
running through it, particularly at
the corner of Main St. and Hwy.
P. Kalscheur Dodge Chrysler
Ram was surrounded by water.
In Middleton, City Admin-
istrator Mike Davis said he and
Foulke assessed the damage
on Tuesday. “Areas hardest hit
are by the major ponds which
have overflowed—near Costco
(Confluence Pond), near Marri-
ott & Greenway Station (Esser
& South Ponds), and in the area
around Stricker & Tiedeman
Ponds. Our conservancy and
trails have also taken a big hit,”
Davis explained.
Pheasant Branch Conservancy
has extensive damage stretching
for miles through the Pheasant
Branch Creek corridor from
Deming Way, Parmenter and
Park Lawn Streets, to Century
Blvd., Pheasant Branch Rd., and
Orchid Heights Park, culminat-
ing at the now-submerged plat-
form at Sacred Spring.
Gazing at the surging waters
choked with trees and debris on
the other side of yellow “Cau-
tion” tape, Betsy Zimmerman,
longtime Middleton teacher,
simply said, “This makes me so
sad.” She wasn’t alone in that
sentiment.
“This is where we always
bike,” softly wailed one woman,
as she videotaped the eroded
bank of the hillside across from
Kromrey Middle School. The
huge swath of sand and earth
now partly lay as feet-deep sed-
iment downstream.
Trees, down; bike and pedes-
trian paths, washed away; foot
bridges, out, or in process of
becoming so as tons of crushing
timber continues to fall. Mid-af-
ternoon on Tuesday, ancient
cottonwoods in the conservancy
crack like rifle shots before
branches, then entire trees crash
to the ground in jagged splinters,
adding to the debris clogging the
raging creek.
Strong currents continue to
completely erode paths and carry
away what remains of smashed
bridges.
Another woman wondered
aloud where the conservancy
deer had gone for shelter. A child
echoed her concern, “Are all of
the animals dead?” Indeed, fish,
mice, muskrat, and other animals
have been stranded or drowned
as they searched for high ground,
safe waters, normalcy.
One 18-inch in diameter snap-
ping turtle clawed its way up the
bank from Tiedeman’s Pond,
apparently preferring to swim
in the buckled street, along with
gold fish.
Lake Mendota was up more
than 10 inches and Lake Monona
seven, with Lake Mendota reach-
ing the 100 year flood mark as
did most flooded areas, in the
region. Dane County is declaring
a slow, no wake on Lakes Men-
dota, Monona, and Waubesa as
well.
There were also major floods
in the area in 1993, 2000 and
2008, but Davis said this it’s the
worst he has seen. “I was here
for two of those, and this is the
most significant. Fortunately,
we’ve made a lot of investment
in storm water management over
the years, and that has helped to
reduce the damage that might
otherwise have occurred.”
Early figures of damage in
the public sector is currently at
$6.6 million, and was presented
at Tuesday night’s Middleton
Common Council meeting. The
assessment includes parks, sewer
and debris cleanup in its line
items.
“We have in a very quick pe-
riod of time come up with some
estimates, some more guess-
timates than others because in
many cases the trails were still
underwater,” Davis said. “We
are heading towards $7 million
in damage.”
Finance director Bill Burns
presented a resolution for the city
to move forward using $124,000
available in the general contin-
gency fund for the emergency
response and recovery of the
flooding. The resolution also
calls for the city to utilize the
emergency contingency fund
which has $517,000 available.
Davis said the contingency
funds would allow the city to
begin moving forward with re-
pairing flood damage. Governor
Scott Walker declared a state fo
emergency which will make fed-
eral funds available to reimburse
the city, Burns noted. Insurance
claims will be made to recover
costs as well.
Some streets will remain
closed until repairs can be made.
For a list of street closures visit:
511wi.gov.
Foulke said Hwy. 14 west of
the Beltline will be closed for
some time because it has been
severely compromised.
Kristi Warriner, president of
the Good Neighbor Festival, said
the event will go on in Firemen’s,
which was not affected by the
flooding.

Middleton School Board Gets Safety Update

BY CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton Police Chief, Middleton High
School resource officer, and dis-
trict staff presented an overview
of safety procedures to the Mid-
dleton-Cross Plains Area School
Board at its Aug. 13 meeting.
Police chief Chuck Foulke says
he is thankful for the relationship
the district the has with the de-
partment unlike in neighboring
communities.
Director of student services
Barb Buffington reviewed initia-
tives in her department, including
helping students develop positive
relationships with peers and staff,
mental health and trauma in-
formed care, threat assessments
and non-violent crisis interven-
tion training.
Assistant safety coordinator
Jeanne Butzek gave an overview
of the district’s crisis safety plan,
annual training and professional
development. She also noted the
work of the safety committee
which includes police, firefight-
ers and EMTs and performs full-
scale safety exercises.
Director of technology ser-
vices Jim Blodgett went over
safety features of the buildings
and technology. He said all en-
trances on school buildings are
now secure. He explained how
new phones can trigger an auto-
matic response, including emer-
gency buttons that can send a
silent 911 call from each office.
Safety Administrator Bill
Deno talked about the $220,000
safety grant that was awarded to
the district thought the Wisconsin
Department of Justice and how
the money will be spent.
“Requested funds will be used
to harden our schools against in-
truders and for supplies to com-
municate more efficiently during
each school day and if we are
confronted with crisis,” Deno
said.
Funds will also go to supplies
for treating injuries from critical
wounds, he said. Other plans
include video doorbells, a new
video server and providing addi-
tional radios.
The district is also piloting a
crisis collaborative mapping sys-
tem to assist first responders in
maneuvering through buildings
in a crisis scenario. He added that
the district plans to apply for the
grant again.
Superintendent George Mav-
roulis pointed out that Police
Chief Foulke was the district’s
first school resource officer
(SRO) back in the 1980s. In the
2018-19 school year there will be
three SROs, one at MHS, one at
Kromrey Middle School and one
at Glacier Creek Middle School.
“I think the SRO is a critical
position in our community, in
our police department and in our
schools,’’ Foulke said. “I really
want to that the board for being
so supportive of the police de-
partment and the SROs.”
Foulke said many of his col-
leagues throughout the county
are jealous of the relationship
MPD has with the board, admin-
istrators, staff, parents and stu-
dents in the district.
“If you compare that to what
is going on a little to the east of
us which is not quite smooth,” he
said. “Even though the relation-
ship between the Madison police
department and school admin-
istration is very strong, as you
know, there is a certain group
of people that want police out of
the schools. I am so thankful we
have a relationship that is not like
that.”
He added officers are not there
for security alone. “It is not so
much that they are an armed
presence in the school ready to
stop a threat, although that is a
huge role that they have, to me it
is more the relationships that they
build with the students, staff and
parents,” Foulke said.
“The idea that police officers

Musings
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Harry Potter
I am going to openly admit
that I know nothing about
Harry Potter. I have never read
a Harry Potter book and I have
only seen part of one movie, so
I don’t really understand the
Harry Potter mania. This is pre-
cisely the reason, when invited
to a Harry Potter party on Fri-
day night, I decided I must go.
I have been staying in a hotel
as I transition to my new home
in Madison, and I have met a
few other people who stay at
the same hotel for work. Last
week ExpectoCon was going
on at a nearby hotel. Expecto-
Con is a wizard school and con-
vention, though not specific to
Harry Potter, there were plenty
of fans there, dressed, I’m told,
as some of the characters from
the movies.
I went down to the bar to get
a glass of wine, and my new
friend, Nick, that I met a few
weeks ago was talking to two
women, Eileen and Cathy, who
were dressed in Harry Potter
gear. Of course, even though I
and of course they were.
We talked for a few min-
utes and they went to the pool.
When I got to the pool they
started talking about a party
they were going to at the Mar-
riott, where ExpectoCon was
being held. They asked if Nick
and I wanted to go with them?
Um, yeah.
In life I am all about the ex-
perience. I’m almost always up
for something new that I have
never done. As I get older I find
there are less and less oppor-
tunities for new experiences,
not only because less chances
for new things pop up, but also
because I have already done so
many things in life.
We all go to change out of
our swimwear and agree to
meet in the common area of our
hotel. I was surprised to see that
costumes on than those they
were sporting just an hour or
so earlier. Nick pointed out that
he felt underdressed and they
graciously asked if we wanted
some costumes. We both de-
clined.
When we got to the party
there was a man at the door
checking convention passes,
which neither Nick or I had.
Cathy and Eileen told him that
we were with them and pleaded
with him to let us stay. He gave
us the ol’ up and down look and
raised an eyebrow.
When I noticed he was put-
ting a wax seal on the badges
I expressed how I loved wax
seals and like to use them on
invitations. He gave us the nod,
and so as not to be left out, Nick
and I quickly found something
for him to stamp with the glit-
tery, gold wax.
delight to the senses, spectac-
ular costumes, colorful mac-
arons, sweet incense, raucous
music and plenty of booze.
There were craggy looking wiz-
ards, fairies with ever so deli-
cate wings, and wood nymphs
covered in fantastical flora.
Nick and I stood out like two
sore thumbs, but we didn’t care,
and even though we got some
weird looks for being dressed in
“street clothes,” the party-goers
eased into the idea of allowing
the interlopers to stay.
I was having a conversation
with a man who had parrot
feather plumes sprouting from
a mustard color, wool hat about
costuming one’s self, and why
I was wearing a plain old dress
and sandals, my summer uni-
form. I told him I didn’t know
why I had declined a costume
as I normally love to dress in
Suddenly, Nick grabs ahold
of my arm and tells me, “I
think we are getting left be-
hind! Cathy and Eileen just ran
out the door.”
We chased them into the
hall and caught them at the el-
evator. There was a bunch of
ruckus and gabbering but we
still didn’t know why we had
made such an abrupt departure.
In the atrium we learned that
Stanislav Ianevski, the actor
who played Victor Krum in
“Harry Potter and the Goblet of
Fire” had been spotted. People
gathered around, but he made
a quick departure, leaving fans
wanting more.
Nick and I watched from
afar and he said, “Well, party’s
over.” And we headed back
from whence we came, Eileen
and Cathy in tow.

Marching Band Poised for Successful Season

BY AARON BOORSTEIN
The Cardinal Chronicle
MIDDLETON–As the school
year swiftly approaches, the
Middleton High School (MHS)
marching band is preparing for
another rewarding season.
In 2016, the MHS marching
band engaged in competitions
for the first time in 25 years. In
just two years, the group earned
first place in the AAAA division
and second overall at the Wauke-
sha North Band Fest Invitational,
second place in the AAAA divi-
sion and fourth overall at the
Mukwonago Phantom Phest
Invitational, and third place in
the AAAA division at the Sauk
Prairie Marching Invitational.
The marching band, led by
band directors Douglas Brown,
Mike VerVoort, Eric Rothacker
and drum majors Megan An-
drews, Jon Roll, Brandon Dunk,
and Julian Engle, looks forward
to advancing the success into the
2018 season. “With each year
we have increased our goals,
strengthened our shows and con-
tinued to build a strong culture…
this will allow us to advance fur-
ther this season,” explains An-
drews, a senior at MHS.
Currently, the members of the
marching band are participating
in a two-week band camp to
prepare for the season. Engle, a
junior at MHS, detailed that his
favorite element of the camp is
“The environment. Everybody
that’s here is here because they
love music and they’re excited to
create something special.”
This year, the band will per-
form “Catching Shadows,” a
marching show based on the
music of world-renowned per-
cussionist Ivan Trevino. The
performance features music ar-
ranged by award-winning Wis-
consin composer, Rick Kirby.
The multi-faceted show will
showcase dancers, vocalists, mu-
sicians, staging, and props.
Middleton’s Marching Band
is scheduled to perform during
home football games at Otto
Breitenbach Stadium, the Good
Neighbor Festival, and numer-
ous marching competitions.
The competitions include
the Phantom Phest on Sept. 15
in Mukwonago, the Waukesha
North Marching Competition
on September 16 in Waukesha,
the Sauk Prairie Marching Invi-
tational on Oct. 7 in Sauk Prairie,
and the WSMA State Champi-
onships on Oct. 13 at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
Director Doug Brown shares,
“The sky’s the limit with this
band. We have an incredible
group of students who are moti-
vated and driven for excellence
and success. We’re so happy to
be supporting the football team
at games, and we would love for
the community to rally around
us and support us on our journey
towards a state championship.”

Plan Commission Weighs in on Bike Share Proposal

BY CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton Plan Commission is recom-
mending conceptual approval
of a bike share program to city
council, though members and
the mayor say more informa-
tion is needed before moving
forward.
City planner Mark Opitz told
plan commission members that
the idea of having a bike share in
Middleton has been talked about
since the start of the decade and
in the last few months finally,
“has gotten some wheels.”
The city is looking into
Trek’s bike share program BCy-
cle. BCycle has been used in the
City of Madison for seven years.
Middleton is considering a
slightly different system than
what’s used in Madison called
BCycle Dash. Instead of the
bikes being placed in locking
racks with a kiosk to manage
rental and payment, the bicycles
feature touchscreen displays on
the handlebars which are used
for checking out, navigation and
can be connected with a smart-
phone.
Since the bikes use GPS they
can be left in designated areas
set on their kickstand and ready
to go, instead of on a locking
rack, Opitz explained.
One of the main reasons he
and other staff think the program
would be a success in Middleton
is because of the city’s numer-
ous hotels. “We have 1000 hotel
beds in the city, there’s actually
quite a few people that we feel
would come here and use a bicy-
cle system,” he said. “There are
people who specifically choose
hotels in Middleton and bring
their bikes.”
He said people who have a
membership in Madison or in
another city that has BCycle
would be able to use it in Mid-
dleton as well, though the bikes
would not be interchangeable.
He added there would also be
opportunity to advertise on the
bikes.
A three-phase conceptual plan
was presented to implement the
bike share program throughout
the city. Phase one would des-
ignate areas near Capitol Brew-
ery, the Marriott and Firefighters
Park. Phase two would add areas
in Parmenter corridor, Middle-
ton Springs and Lakeview Park.
Phase three would include areas
by the Willy St. Co-op, the air-
port, Greenway Station and the
conservancy.
Opitz pointed out that the
bikes are not intended to be used
by the serious commuter. “There
are people that bike 15 miles to
work. They are not going to be
using these bikes.”
He said staff is recommend-
ing initial investment be funded
through tax incremental financ-
ing and that operations be cov-
ered with the tourism budget.
Plan commission member
Lief Hubbard asked how many
bikes there are at each station.
Optiz said there would be about
10 bikes at each station but that
balancing their locations be-
tween stations would be more
important.
Plan commission member
Kurt Paulsen asked who would
own the bikes. Optiz replied
there are various structures from
which the city could choose.
Mayor Gurdip Brar asked
what the city would be getting
for the startup cost of $234,000
as proposed. Optiz explained
in proposal presented the city
would buy and own the bikes
and could use them for other
purpose.Paulsen said many of
his students at UW Madison
have worked for BCycle and
made presentations over the
years.

“I could never figure out the fi-
nancing model,” Paulsen said.
“If we give you the public right-
of-way, like a sidewalk, where
you can install your stuff, we’re
in essence giving you free access
so that you are providing a ser-
vice which is a private company
providing a public benefit.”
Paulsen said it is unlike other
public transit systems. “Is this a
public good or a private good?”
Paulsen asked. “Why shouldn’t
BCycle pay us for the right use
our property?”
Optiz said BCycle doesn’t
make any money off of its con-
tract with Madison.
“So, it’s because they don’t
make any money even though it
is Trek,” Paulsen stated.
Paulsen said he would like to re-
view the ownership models used
in other cities have used and that
he would also rather not see the
city own and maintain the bikes.
The operating costs are es-

timated to be $110,000, Opitz
said. Mayor Brar said that
comes to $1500 per bike per
year for maintenance if there are
75 bikes in total.
Paulsen says he would rec-
ommend the bike share program
to the common council in con-
cept, but he would like to take
a deeper look into the financing
before moving further.
Opitz said instead of latching
on to Madison’s structure Mid-
dleton should embrace the newer
and evolved “dash” system. He
said it is unlikely Madison will
invest in the newer bikes with
more tech anytime soon.
Brar said he would like to
know how much it is costing
Madison and how much Mid-
dleton would need to charge as
a minimum to cover costs. Opitz
said the pricing structure can be

determined by the city.
Paulsen said there is no other
public service that expects users
to pay 100% of the operating
costs and therefore it should at
least in part be subsidized by the
city.
Plan Commission member
Jennifer Murray said the com-
mittee members and alders may
want to think about the possibil-
ity of the bikes be left scattered
around the city if they decide
not to use the locking racks like
Madison does.
Brar agreed with Paulsen that
he supported the idea conceptu-
ally but needed more informa-
tion
“I don’t want the taxpayer’s
money wasted, look into the
concept, but we need to get
more data,” Brar said.

Inherited IRA?
A: Individual Retirement Accounts, or IRAs, are quite popular
– which means you might inherit one someday. But what should
you do with it?
First, be aware that you will be required to take at least
minimum distributions each year. Depending on what type of IRA
you’ve inherited, these amounts may be taxable, so before you
start accepting them, consult with your tax advisor.
Of course, you could take out more than the required
minimum and use the extra money to help with your other
investment goals, but again, you’ll need to consider tax
consequences.
Also, you are free to change the investments within your
inherited IRA to fit more closely with your risk tolerance, time
horizon and long-term goals.
Finally, you may want to consult with a financial professional
to determine how your newly inherited IRA fits in to your overall
financial strategy. For example, the added income from required
distributions could change your retirement calculations.
To respect your inheritance, you’ll want to get the most out of
your IRA for as long as you can – so think carefully about what
steps to take.
Making Sense of Investing
by health insurance?
A: Yes, chiropractic treatment is covered by nearly
all insurances.
If you have a work-related injury, or a personal injury
[such as a car accident, or a slip and fall injury] you may
consult our office without a referral, regardless of your
other health insurance. In most instances, these insurers
will pay for all your necessary care.
Our office is a preferred provider for most network
plans, including WPS, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, the
Alliance, WEA, Humana, and many more.
You may also access our office with any point-of-serv-
ice HMO plan, including Dean, PhysiciansPlus and Unity.
If you do not have insurance, we have wellness plans
available to help keep your care affordable.
You don’t need a referral, just call our office to make
an appointment. Please allow us to help you reach your
health goals!

Q: IWhat
am going to be boarding my pet.
vaccinations are required?
A: Many people are planning their end of summer
trips and making arrangements for their animals
to be boarded while they are away. Most boarding
facilities require dogs to be current on vaccinations
including distemper, rabies, and bordetella. The bor-
detella, or “kennel cough” vaccine, is crucial because
it protects against Para influenza and other upper
respiratory illnesses that can be transmitted through
dogs in the boarding environment. In the last couple
of years the influenza vaccine has also been recom-
mended so be sure to check with your kennel to see
what they require. Cats need to be current on dis-
temper, rabies, and feline leukemia vaccines. Most
boarding facilities require that you bring proof of
vaccinations and a negative stool sample, both which
can be obtained from your veterinarian. If your pet is
not already on flea preventive, you should consider it
before boarding. Some kennels do require this, but
as a precaution it is strongly recommended. Various
types of flea preventive are available. Please contact
your veterinarian if you have more questions!

Sensational start for MHS

Cardinals hammer Madison
East in season opener
BY GREGG HAMMILL
For the Times-Tribune
After a shaky start last
Friday, Middleton’s offense
could seemingly do no wrong.
Big plays were plentiful and
even broken plays went for big
gains.
It all added up to an impres-
sive 50-0 season-opening Big
Eight Conference victory for
the Cardinals over Madison
East on the new turf field at
Otto Breitenbach Stadium.
“You always worry going
into the first game, ‘Is there
something we didn’t cover?
Is there something we didn’t
work on enough?’ ” Middleton
co-coach Tim Simon said. “But
I think all three facets of the
game came together really
well.”
Indeed, the Cardinals
excelled in all phases —
offense, defense and special
teams — but they were espe-
cially lethal on offense as they
put up an astounding 44 points
in the first half while showing
off an array of offensive weap-
ons. After a pass interference
penalty negated a long touch-
down pass to senior tight end
Max Schlicht on Middleton’s
first offensive play and a fum-
ble thwarted its opening drive,
the Cardinals responded with
touchdowns on its next six pos-
sessions.
“I told the guys at halftime
that I’m really proud of the
way the guys responded after
the first offensive series,” said
Simon, who is sharing head
coaching duties with Jason
Pertzborn this season. “We had
that first touchdown that was
called back, that was a good
call and then we had a couple
of other penalties and we just
sputtered a little bit. But after
that we took care of business.”
The Cardinals rolled up 437
total yards, including 362 in
the first half, while the defense
yielded just 80 total yards and
four first downs.
The special teams did their
part too, repeatedly pinning
the Purgolders deep in their
own territory and setting the
Cardinals up with good field
position.
“Our kick coverage was
really, really exceptional,”

“Kenny pitched all but four

manager Randy Meinholz, who
was fighting back the tears after
the Businessmen won their
third straight playoff game on
the road.
“But it’s not only pitching.

first-round matchup in the
round-robin tournament.
After blanking third-seeded
Mazomanie 1-0 in 10 innings in
the first round and top-seeded
Sauk Prairie, 4-0, last week, the
Businessmen held Middleton
scoreless until the 29ers plated
an unearned run with two outs
in the sixth inning.
But that was the only offense
the 29ers (15-4) could muster.
“Kenny did a good job,”
Middleton manager Brandon
Hellenbrand said of Allen. “He
came right at us, but at the
same time I thought we hit him
well. We had eight hits and
outhit them. We just hit balls
hard right at people. It wasn’t
our day, and they made some
big plays.”
The Businessman, who lost
nine of 11 games after a 3-0
start, are riding a five-game
winning streak.
“The more you start mak-
ing plays, the more you keep
making plays,” said Allen, who
tossed 96 pitches, including 67
for strikes.
Allen said he relied on his
two-seam fastball to keep the
29ers off-balance.
“He spots up real well all
the time,” Cross Plains catcher
Will Doherty said of Allen.
“You never have to worry
about that.”
Allen retired 14 of 16 bat-
ters spanning the third through
eighth innings. He stranded

behind him.
“We had a rough patch in
the middle of the year, but we
believed in each other,” said
Cross Plains designated hitter
Richard Sarbacher, who also
played on the 2011 title team.
“It takes the whole team to win
and up to this point it’s really
been a team effort.
“But Kenny’s been the
sparkplug and the rock for this
team. We can always depend
on him to pitch well. He’s a
tough at bat, too.”
Doherty gave Cross Plains
an early 1-0 lead when he
crushed left-hander Ross
Hellenbrand’s curve ball over
the left field fence with two
outs in the top of the first
inning.
“That was a big play for
them,” Brandon Hellenbrand
said. “Ross hung it a little bit,
and Will’s a heck of a hitter.
He was able to take that pitch
out and make a difference. He
hit it hard, and hit most of his

BC-Homestead
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
MENOMONEE FALLS
— Many of the state’s top
golfers and best teams were
at the Brookfield Cen-
tral-Homestead Classic last
Monday and Tuesday.
And a young and improv-
ing Middleton group showed
it could play with the state’s
best and brightest.
The Cardinals finished
fourth at the 21-team, two-
day event.
Host Brookfield Central
won the tournament with a
634. Kettle Moraine was sec-
ond at 639, while Arrowhead
(647), Middleton (658) and
Cedarburg (668) rounded out
the top five.
“I’m definitely pleased
with our fourth place fin-
ish,” Middleton coach Becky
Halverson said. “I’m very

schools against six Milwaukee-
area teams.
Here’s how the Cardinals
fared:
• Middleton 7, Oak Creek
0 — The Cardinals didn’t lose
a single set and routed the
Knights last Friday.
In singles play, Mia Kim,
Abby Lynn, Kayla Wiegand
and Michelle Chi all posted
straight set wins.
Karsen Dettman and

doubles and Noor Rajpal and
Jessica Pientka cruised at No.
2 doubles. Cece Hujanen and
Maddie Hoffman also notched
a straight set win at No. 3
doubles.
• Whitefish Bay 4,
Middleton 3 — The Cardinals
dropped a narrow match to the

proud of this group and their
drive to get better.”
Middleton senior Kate
Meier finished 10th individu-
ally with a two-day score of
155. Meier shot a 77 on the
first day at Mee-Kwon Golf

on the second day at Wanaki
Golf Course in Menomonee
Falls.
Glenna Sanderson was
15th individually with an 83-
80 for a 163. Danielle Callah-
an was 21st with an 82-86 for
a 168. And Ellie Frisch shot a
pair of 86s for a 172, which
was good for 27th individu-
ally.
Milanne Dahmen also shot
a second day 86, which was
a personal-best for her. Each
team played six golfers and
counted the top four scores.
“We had a few personal
bests Monday and Tues-
day,  which were great confi-
dence builders for the girls,”
Halverson said. “Danielle
had a personal best on Mon-
day with an 82.  we hope to be come the end
“Glenna had a person-
al best on Tuesday with an
80. Milanne had a person-
win at No. 2 doubles.
• Middleton 6, Verona 1 —
The Cardinals notched a win
over the Wildcats.
Lynn, Chi and Wiegand
rolled in singles play. In
doubles action, the teams of
Dettman-Clark, Raipal-Pientka
and Hujanen-Rose Ryan all
notched wins.

al best on Tuesday with an
86. Our goal is going to be
to really focus on our short
game and continue to im-
prove.”
Middleton shot a first day
328, which was good for
fourth place overall. That
put the Cardinals in a second
day pairing with state powers
Brookfield Central, Kettle
Moraine and Arrowhead.
The Cardinals then fired a
330 on day two, which trailed
only Kettle Moraine (314)
and Brookfield Central (321).
Halverson knows that play-
ing with elite level players
and teams could pay major
dividends later in the season.
“To be able to be in that
pairing on day two with
Brookfield Central, Kettle
Moraine and Arrowhead
showed us that we are able to
compete with the best teams
in the state,” Halverson
said.  “We definitely learned
what areas we need improve-
ments on in order to be where
of the season.”  Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld

their talent was obscuring
some really talented players
in their shadow.”
Those players appear
ready to emerge in 2018.
Senior midfielder Greg
Pauly was an honor-
able-mention all-conference
player last year. Pauly was
third on the Cardinals in
assists last year (12) and
fourth in points (22).
“Greg is a third year var-
sity player and he has been
a starter pretty much that
whole time,” Kollasch said.
“So Greg brings a maturity
on the field. He doesn’t get
riled up, but just goes about
getting the job done so we
will depend on his stability.”
Senior keeper Ben Scher
was also named honor-
able-mention all-conference
my biggest struggle was
how to get Bryce playing
time since he is a truly gift-
ed player, but at the time
couldn’t beat out our stars.”
Junior midfielder Peter
Tuttle could be poised for
a huge year himself. Tuttle
won a starting job last year,
finished with four assists and
six points, and flashed the
potential that has everyone
in the program excited.
“Remember the name
Peter Tuttle,” Kollasch said.
“He can do just about any-
thing on the soccer field
well, but this year he has
begun playing as if he is on a
mission. Do not be surprised
if Peter leads the team in
goals or assists this year.”
Senior forward Andrew
Lund finished third on the
team in goals (nine) and
points (25) last season and
should be ready for bigger
and better.
“Andrew Lund was our
only constant as forward
last year and he returns with
his energizer bunny hustle
and his nose for the goal,”
Kollasch said.
Senior midfielder Kyle
Ballweg is also a returning
starter.
“He may be the best of
the many Ballwegs that have
played at Middleton over the
years,” Kollasch said. “Kyle
was a fierce competitor as a
junior and is ready to guide
the team.”
Middleton’s top new-
comers include sophomore
midfielder Ben Tutewohl,
junior forward Isaac Gueu,
and junior defenders Cian
Carlson, Ryan Writenour
and Blake Kalscheur.

Simon said. “We spend a lot of

time on it the first couple weeks
of practice. I don’t know if
anybody spends as much time
on special teams in the first
month of practice as we do.
So it’s nice when it pays off
and the kids understand that’s
why we spend that much time
on our special teams. We want
to flip field position and I think
we did that.”
Middleton senior quarter-
back Bryce Carey agreed.
“One thing Coach Simon
really harps on is an important
percent of the game is special
teams so we really put together
an organized set,” Carey said.
“That helps us a lot, we get
good field position because of
it and the offense and defense
did the rest of the work.”
After fumbling the ball
away on its initial possession,
Middleton’s defense held on
fourth down and the offense
went to work. Starting from
their own 36-yard line, the
Cardinals fed the ball to junior
running back Kallion Buckner.
Buckner carried five times for
59 yards capping the drive with
