Newly Minted Lt. Governor Attends MHS Event
By Cameron Bren
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–On Jan. 8,
one of his first day in office,
Lieutenant Governor Mandela
Barnes spoke to an auditorium
full of 10th graders during a
mock legislature event, part
of Middleton High School’s
(MHS) required U.S. govern-
ment and politics class. Barnes
spoke on the intent of the pro-
gram which teaches kids about
government by acting it out
and emphasizes compromise
and civility.
“Change all across the world
has always been led by younger
generations, so when my time
is done, when I’m no longer in
public life I want to be able to
look back and count on you all
and the work you are doing,”
Barnes said. “The fact you are
learning here today puts you
ahead of so many other people
in this state and country that
have very little idea about how
government is run and that’s
how we get to a place that we
don’t want to be.”
MHS U.S. government and
politics teacher Janel Ander-
son said the students have

CP Chamber Announces De-
parture of Executive Director
CROSS PLAINS–On Jan.
14, Casey Koenig, President of
the Board of Directors for the
Cross Plains Area Chamber of
Commerce (CPACC) issued a
statement to the members of
the Chamber and Community
expressing his sadness and re-
gret in announcing the resigna-
tion of the Chamber Executive
Director Amy Hansen.
Hansen came to the Chamber
been participating in the mock
legislative session since 2012
when it was adopted at the sug-
gestion of former social stud-
ies teacher Kate Ullman whose
father Steve Arnold developed
the course as a social studies
teacher in West Chicago.
Anderson says since imple-
mentation Middleton has be-
come a leader in the nation
and has sent a teaching team to
national conferences to teach
other districts about the model.
MHS junior Yousef Gadalla
is a great example of the im-
pact the course can have on
a student, Anderson said.
Gadalla was elected by his
classmates to be the speaker
of the house despite beginning
the semester with no interest in
politics.
“I wasn’t originally think-
ing of running but my teacher
urged me and after I started,
I learned how fun it was,”
Gadallla said. “It was fun talk-
ing to people I hadn’t spoke to
in a while and the campaigning
itself was a lot of fun as well.”
Gadalla says the class is not
what he expected it to be.
“The first day of school I

had thought this was going to
be a really boring class that I
would despise going to every-
day, but it turned into one of
my favorite classes,” Gadalla
recalled.
Since getting involved
Gadalla said has begun paying
more attention to politics and
is even considering making
a career out of it. He said he
plans to seek out internships
with politicians in coming
years.
“I think it is a really good
idea to have this class because
it creates more unity between
students,” Gadalla said. “We
know more about each student
and we end up looking past
how they feel about their spe-
cific views whether Democrat
or Republican or somewhere
in between and teaches us to
be more moderate and work
together.”
The bills debated and voted
on in the mock assembly floor
reflect real life debates in the
local, state and national arenas
including changes to affirma-
tive action, making schools a
religious free zone, gerryman-
dering and changes to child
sociation, eventually transition
the organization to a full Cham-
ber of Commerce, of which she
served as Executive Director.
Originally living in Arena, she
moved to Cross Plains and lead
the Chamber to growth in mem-
bership and influence. During
her aegis the membership grew
by 86 percent, while revenue
for the Chamber grew by 175
percent.
During her 11-year tenure at
the CPACC she cast a new vi-
sion for a stronger economy in
Cross Plains, cooperated with
the village board and school
district to promote a strong
local business atmosphere, and
promoted 50 local events which
saw over 3000 attendees. Han-
sen also enhanced the outreach
of the Chamber by designing,
building, and maintaining the
Chamber website, implement-
ing technological systems like
Constant Contact to facilitate
emailing and ChamberMaster, a
customer relationship database.
Among many of her duties
and skills, one of the most sig-
nificant successes of her time
as Executive Director was
building relationships of stra-
tegic partnerships at the local,
regional and state level. Hansen

debate using their own ideas.
Most students begin without
much exposure to political
ideology and develop those
throughout the class, she said.
The students study political
parties and their differing phi-
losophies.
“We often see kids move a
lot on the spectrum,” Ander-
son said. “The debate here is
all them. We help them do re-
search, we talk to them about
making strong arguments
and coming to them with evi-
dence.”
Anderson explained the goal
is to help kids develop their
own beliefs and advocate for
them.
“One of the main goals of
the course is teaching them
how to advocate for things
they believe in and to move it
through the systems of govern-
ment so that what they think
are problems in the world they
perceive as something they can Cameron Bren-Times Tribune

Supreme Reflections: A Tribute to Diana Ross & The Supremes
MIDDLETON–The Friends
of the Performing Arts Center
are excited to bring to Mid-
dleton another night of great
music. Supreme Reflections is
a loving tribute to the most fa-
mous female singing group of
all time, The Supremes. Do you
remember “Baby Love,” “Stop!
In The Name Of Love,” “You
Can’t Hurry Love,” and “Love
Child?” Then you’ll love this
stylish, fun and informative mu-
sical gem.
Artists who have followed in
their footsteps like The Pointer
Sisters, Whitney Houston, Van-
essa Williams and some of to-
day’s superstars like Beyoncé
and the Pussycat Dolls have
been influenced by Diana Ross
and The Supremes. You’ll see
why Oprah Winfrey credits The
Supremes as her inspiration
and why the Guinness Book
Of World Records has declared
Diana Ross the most popular fe-
male vocalist of all time.

Edmead, Tai Lewis and Mari-
anne Lewis. These multi-tal-
ented entertainers have each
performed in scores of musicals

young but possess the dynamic
qualities of the classic entertain-

Most importantly, their interpre-

are so true to the original record-

that they are singing live and not
lip-syncing. The show is hosted
and narrated by Motown afi-

also performs some of the hits

Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder
and more.

Kuhn Optimist Student of the Month At the Middleton Library
Transplant Surgeon to Speak About Book
MIDDLETON–The Middleton Public Library
welcomes Dr. Joshua Mezrich on Jan. 31, to dis-
cuss his new book, “When Death Becomes Life,”
published this month by HarperCollins. Mezrich is
a transplant surgeon at UW-Madison Hospital spe-
cializing in kidney and liver transplants, as well as
an associate professor in the Department of Surgery
at UW-Madison’s School of Medicine and Public
Health.
“When Death Becomes Life” describes how Mez-
rich and his fellow surgeons literally create life from
loss, transplanting organs from one body to another.
Fellow surgeon and bestselling author Pauline Chen
called Mezrich’s book, “a clear and compelling ac-
count of the grueling daily work, the spell-binding
history and the unsettling ethical issues that haunt this
miraculous lifesaving treatment. “
This special author event will take place at 7 p.m.
in the Archer Room on the library’s lower-level. Cop-
ies of Mezrich’s book will be available for purchase
courtesy of Mystery to Me bookstore and the event
will conclude with a book signing. Registration is ap-

have pictures of plants.”
Eldred said he worked from
photographs and explained why
he chose his medium. “You can
bring out characteristics with
pen and ink you can’t get from
a photograph.”
He wanted to use specimens,
but the plants are rare or threat-
ened species. “I’d be damned if
I was going to go out and dig
them up,” he recalled. “These
are rare plants!”
The framed images each in-
clude a card beneath them with
the name of the plant, if it is
threatened, if the same specimen
is planted at Holy Wisdom and
a description, and sometimes
folklore, of the plant.
Janet Neurauter, director of

Cross, said they were thrilled
to have the artwork in the mon-
astery’s collection. She agreed
with Endres that the work seems
to be made for the monastery,
and said, “A year ago Ron En-
dres presented the idea of show-
ing Gary’s work. Really it is a
perfect fit.”
She added that a lot of volun-

He said that after working

Musings
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
MLK Jr.
I have always loved Dr. Mar-
tin Luther King Jr. and his mes-
sage of love and peace.
When I was a little girl his
assassination was fresh in the
minds of America, and his mur-
der, along with Malcolm X and
John and Bobby Kennedy, had
sent shock waves through the
country.
Now, I grew up in rural,
southern Michigan, in a pretty
racist area. It was probably
about a 50/50 split. I, myself,
lived in a household with a
racist grandmother raising me,
and my best friend was black.
One day she said to me, “I
don’t care if Bernadette comes
over as long as she doesn’t sit
on out toilet or drink out of our
I was seven and astounded.
I then questioned why I could
do these things at her house? To
which my grandmother had no
response. It was in that very in-
stant that I understood the fight
for civil rights and the igno-
rance it perpetuated. It did not
stop me from bringing Bernie
cold drinks in the summer or
marching her through the house
to use the bathroom, much to
my grandma’s chagrin.
It didn’t matter to my
grandma that Bernie’s parents
were well educated, affluent
and model citizens, the only
thing that mattered was the
color of their skin. To this day,
I cannot understand why they
would choose to build a house
in that area, but I am glad they
did because it enriched all of
Kindergarten together and that
was the beginning of our friend-
ship. We were inseparable until
her parents sent her to a Catho-
lic school in eighth grade.
My grandma’s attitude to-
ward minorities backfired. It
made me more curious about
different people and different
cultures. It made me want to ex-
plore the world and learn about
the struggles and triumphs of
people from all walks of life.
It made me seek out education
and taught me to be more un-
derstanding and compassion-
ate. It also made me realize
that people are essentially the
same, no matter where you go.
We want the same things, edu-
cation, good health, to be sur-
rounded by family and friends
and a chance to pursue our
dreams. It made me stand up
for myself and others, and it led
me down a path to my career
choice.
King delivered his most fa-
mous speech, “I have a Dream,”
in 1963 at an equality march on
racism where people live side
by side in harmony. He wanted
equality and justice for every-
one and spread his message to
all corners of Earth.
The words of his speeches
and images of his marches have
been burned into the collective
mind of America. His Dream is
shared by many the world over,
but how far have we really
come since his assassination,
which will mark its 51st anni-
versary on April 4?
I know a lot of people like
to say that they don’t see color.
They are liars. Everyone sees
color. I am a firm believer,
however, that by saying we
don’t see color, we don’t see
the disproportionate number of
police shooting involving un-
armed black people. We do not
see single mothers struggling to
raise children alone in the black
community, the generational
poverty, or the massive number
of black men in the increasingly
for profit prison system. We
don’t see disparities in learning
troubling to me.
I wish Dr. King could come
back for a few days and see that
in spite of his efforts, his death
seems to be in vain. A man who
practiced as well as preached
peace, would probably find the
continued racism and oppres-
sion in 2019, much like he left
it in 1968.
I certainly can’t speak for
Dr. King, but I can speak for
myself. I am deeply saddened
and disappointed that there are
still people in this country that
would not let Bernadette drink
out of their glasses or use their
toilet. Would not give her a job
or rent her an apartment. I am
sad that she was still fighting
racism at the time of her death
in 2014. I am sad had just re-
connected with her after losing
touch for about 15 years, and
then she was gone.
I am a better person for hav-
ing known her. She was a kind,
loving and gentle soul who is
missed dearly by her friends
and family.
of our country. When children
are not bullied because of their
skin color, when generational
poverty in black communities
is conquered. I dream of a day
when young minority men and
women have the same social,
educational and employment
opportunities as their white
counterparts. I dream of a day
when we stop killing and incar-
cerating black men at an alarm-
ing number.
I, and you, have to do more
than dream. We have to act. We
must come together to help one
another and improve and enrich
our society. We must fight for
our friends and family members
and be their voice.
King was very much a be-
liever in volunteerism and
building strong communities.
So on Jan. 21, when we nation-
ally recognize his birth, let us
go into our communities and
serve them by giving our time,
our compassion, our faith and
ourselves to the fight for equal-
ity, peace and love.

It was the early 2000s, and
I was working at one of the
United States’ biggest and old-
est zoos, caring for camels and
draft horses.
I was going on a date with a
co-worker named Savina, and
she was part of a crew of work-
ers from Romania. I worked up
the nerve to ask her out, and
when I climbed off the bus to
pick her up, I entered a differ-
ent world. Up the steps and into
their little apartment in a cruddy
part of a big city, I walked in
and saw what looked like a ref-
ugee camp, although the refu-
gees showed little sign of any
recent physical or psychologi-
cal trauma. But the aesthetics
were unmistakable for anyone
who’s ever watched the news.
It emitted the overwhelming
sense that it was temporary,
room. In each makeshift room
was a mattress, or at least
something soft, plopped uncer-
emoniously onto the floor. The
food–was it food?–I smelled
coming from the kitchen was
pungent and lovely. I thought
I could identify pickles, and
maybe cabbage, but also yo-
gurt and maybe a spicy sau-
sage. Sixty seconds earlier, I
had been on a bus, surrounded
by Americans; now I had
wandered through a magical
wardrobe door, or maybe just
a very heavy regular door with
something that looked suspi-
ciously like a bullet hole in it,
and stepped into a travelers’
encampment from Southeast-
ern Europe in the early 1900s.
I thought I heard the jingle of
bells somewhere, and I looked
around for a clattering, col-
orful, horse-drawn caravan
painted thick red and yellow.
Was someone playing the bala-
laika? I thought I heard one
somewhere.
It was partially real, and
“Sure,” I said, although all I
really wanted was to stay there.
To live there. To perhaps learn
to play the accordion, or throw
knives for sport, or pickpocket
strangers in an eager, entrepre-
neurial manner. Maybe I could
steal bread, I thought. Like
a character in a really great
novel!
It was all so strange, but
not for the reason you think.
It was strange because we all
are strange. Their home didn’t
make me feel like I was nor-
mal; it reminded me that I’m a
member of a weird human race
that is alive and bustling with
activity. It reminded me that
my home – my little, cruddy
apartment across the river –
was strange too, full of its own
smells, sounds, quarrels and
endless barking.
She spent the whole date
talking about Scott, a doofus
who had some kind of admin-
istrative job at the zoo. She just
blurted it out, out of nowhere,
as I looked into the depths of
alcohol dwelled within its ruby
depths.
She had no interest in me.
When she went home, I was
despondent. Without her, I
would never be able to find
my way back into that amazing
apartment. She was my secret
password or special handshake
to get through the door. With-
out her, I would remain on the
outside.
But of course, the lesson was
more valuable than anything in
that little apartment. The lesson
was that behind every single
door in the world, there live
real, living, feeling people. The
houses, walls, and other bar-
riers we construct sometimes
obscure the fact that we are all
here.
But we are.
Behind every door, people
cook, sleep, fight, and love one
another. Behind every door,
people are strange, just waiting
to remind you how strange you
are, too.

Couple Supports Fuszard
To the Editor,
Middleton, Wisconsin has been our home since 1998, a year
after I was named principal of Middleton High School. My wife
and I had a home built in 2012 in the Hidden Oaks Neighborhood
of the Good Neighbor City.
Our home is in the 5th Common Council district of this vibrant
city, a neighborhood of families just starting their lives to neighbors
who like us are retired. One of those young neighbors, Mr. Luke
Fuszard, is running for the Middleton City Council and we are very
proud to support this energetic, creative, dedicated family man.
Luke has already shown his commitment to our city by serving
on the Middleton Cross Plains School District’s Facilities Plan-
ning Committee where he provided leadership for passing the fall
referendum addressing our growing student population. Luke also
showed his concern for his neighbors who were affected by the
August flooding. He coordinated communication between city of-
ficials and our neighborhood for the pick-up of trash left by the
devastating flood. These are just two examples of the caring Luke
has demonstrated for the Middleton residents.
Luke is willing to talk with everyone and connect with all the
stakeholders of our community. We need young people to be in-
volved in serving our community. We need Luke Fuszard on the
Common Council. On April 2, I encourage you to join my wife and
me to vote for Luke Fuszard , District 5, Council member. Mark
your calendar now!

COUNTY
The Legacy Offers Memory Care Apartments

Michelle Phillips-Times Tribune

By Michelle Phillips
Times-Tribune
VERONA–Dozens of people
attended an open house and rib-
bon cutting for The Legacy, a
new dementia care facility that
is part of Noel Manor in Ve-
rona, on Jan. 8.
The new building that is
right around the corner from
Noel Manor’s main facility,
will offer 32 studio-style apart-
ments for those living with
dementia and Alzheimer’s dis-
ease. The facility was designed
specifically for those needs and
features an activity area with a
piano, a large dining room, hair
salon and sunroom.
“One of the unique things
is we have a linen service tak-
ing care of all the linens in the
building. We will still have a
staff that does the regular laun-
dry,” said Noel Manor market-
ing director, Alissa Gauger,
who was giving tours along
with other staff members. “We
have taken what we learned
from our other facilities and
applied it here.”
She said Noel Manor rec-
ognized a need in the area for
dementia friendly housing, and
that there is a wait list in Dane
County. That need is expected
to grow as the population ages.
Currently 10 percent of adults
over age 65 suffers from de-
mentia.
Before a ribbon cutting
hosted by the Verona Chamber
of Commerce, owner Garry
Bunz told the large gathering
of people, many looking for
care for their parents, “We are a
family business and we hope to
deliver that level of care.
“I understand they have al-
ready reserved a room for me,”
he joked.
The rooms are spacious
studio spaces with dementia
friendly bathrooms, each has
a large window to let in light.
About half of the rooms have
been rented, and Gauger said
they anticipate that they will
fill up fast. “Our goal is to pro-
vide the highest quality of life
possible for people living with
dementia. Our state-of-the art
facility is specially designed to
suit the needs of the residents,”
she said.
The Legacy took just under
a year to build and will com-
plement the services at Noel
Manor, which include: inde-
pendent and assisted living,
high level assisted living and
memory care.
The facility is waiting for li-
censing but expects to open as
soon as everything is in place.

100 Quilts Donated in Memory of Local Quilter
MADISON– Quilting is a
popular art form in south-cen-
tral Wisconsin and Anne Smith
was a central figure in the quilt-
ing movement, as a well-known
quilting teacher in the greater
Madison area, a long-arm quilt-
ing business owner and artist.
Tragically, Anne and her hus-
band of 42 years Rusty, were
killed in April in an automobile
accident in Albury, New South
Wales, Australia. They were
visiting their daughter and new-
born grandson, born only two
days before.
The quilting community was
in shock by the sudden death of
a beloved teacher and friend.
What happened next was a trib-
ute to Anne that touched people
throughout the greater fiber arts
community and now touches
the lives of the families who
call Ronald McDonald House
home during the time when
they need it most.
Anne and Rusty’s children,
Laura and Nathan, asked friend
Nancy Gants to help honor their
parents with a quilting project.
Nancy organized a “sew day”
for quilters to sew in honor of
Anne. The core group working
on the project felt that creating
warm, welcoming quilts from
Anne’s bright “stash” of fabrics
would be the best memorial and
reflect Anne and Rusty’s gentle
embrace of family. Laura asked
that the quilts be donated to
Ronald McDonald House as
her own family was helped tre-
mendously in the days after the
birth of her son and the death
of her parents with special care
from Ronald McDonald House
Charities.

New Location for Tano’s Pizza in Cross Plains
By Rob Westerlund
Times-Tribune
CROSS PLAINS–A mainstay
for pizza, calzones, and other
great Italian food for 15 years,
Tano’s Pizza is indeed open for
business. Tano’s moved on Dec.
15 just a few blocks down from
its former location to 1830 Main
St. in located on the first floor of
the Esser Place Apartment build-
ing between the Cross Plains
Pharmacy and Cross Plains
Creamery.
Ron Spangler, owner of the
Cross Plains and Lodi Tano’s,
explained how their new place
has a better location, better facili-
ties, nicer waiting area, greater
visibility, more accessible park-
ing, and is about 200 square feet
larger, for a total of 1500 square
feet. Their new digs include a
new walk-in cooler, sinks, work
tables, and a new CaptiveAire
commercial kitchen ventilation
system which keeps the kitchen
cooler while the natural gas
ovens are baking thousands of
pizzas a year. During the winter

Take a Stroll on the Zander Park Boardwalk
By Rob Westerlund
Times-Tribune
CROSS PLAINS–A hidden
treasure bordering the meander-
ing Black Earth creek is Zander
Park and a secluded pathway
providing blacktop paths and
boardwalks for resident pe-
destrians of the two- and four-
footed variety.
Zander Park is a linear park
nestled in the flood plain be-
tween Cross Plain’s Main and
Bourbon Streets, hugging the
banks of Black Earth Creek.
Along the creek runs a footpath
which has been growing over
the past years. The final stage
was completed in December,
finishing the mile-long pedes-
trian path running from the east
side of Cross Plains at highway
P to highway PK.
Michael Axon, Village of
Cross Plains Parks, Recreation
and Conservancy Director, said,
“The Village of Cross Plains
Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment is excited to announce
that Phase 2 of the H.M. Zander
Community Nature Park Trail
is now open to the public. (No-
vember 29, 2018) The nearly
1780 linear feet of boardwalk
and 500 linear feet of concrete,
10’ wide, provides an off-road
trail connection between our
community. Most importantly,
the new ‘at-grade railroad
crossing” allows for a safe and
convenient link to our com-
munity members into the heart
of our downtown business dis-
trict. Lighting for the at-grade
railroad crossing will be con-
structed in January 2019.”
Axon shared, “The total proj-
ect costs, which include: four
new A.D.A. pedestrian fish-
ing zones; trails consisting of
2700 linear feet of asphalt and/
or concrete and an additional
2705 of boardwalk, an at grade
railroad crossing with lighting,
totaled $821,000. Due to the
anticipated high cost of such
a project, village staff worked
to secure a number of qualify-
ing grants including a Dane
County PARC and Ride Grant
of $200,000, a Wisconsin De-
partment of Natural Resources
Recreational Trails Grant of
$39,518, and a Wisconsin De-
partment of Natural Resources
Stewardship Grant of $205,000.
The grand total of grant money
raised was $444,518, with the
remaining balance paid for by
the village 2017 and 2018 capi-
tal budget.”
The extension of the original
trail has been in the works for
years. Village staff began work-
ing in 2010 with local, county
and state officials to develop a
vision of creating a linear park
eventually totaling 4175 lin-
ear feet of trail, running from
one end of town to the other,
creating a refuge for walkers
and easy access to businesses
downtown. The village cre-
ated “a plan to re-meander the
Black Earth Creek, add four
new pedestrian bridges, create
Mill Creek Parkway, add new
parking lots and provide better
pedestrian access to our down-
town businesses via, linking
the community east-west and
north-south.” Phase One was
completed in 2017.
For years residents have been
enjoying the pathway for walk-
ing and biking and other forms

focus on civility and respect,
something that can be hard
to learn from real life poli-
tics, Anderson said. She said
students review examples of
government officials not being
civil.
“They are shocked by the
way the adults act,” Anderson
said.
Like the course intends to do
to students, Barnes says he was
motivated to run for office by
his personal convictions and
values.
“Spending on prisons in the
state of Wisconsin has sur-
passed spending on our entire
UW system,” Barnes said. “To
me I felt like that means we
have priorities mismatched,
I always felt like we should
prioritize education over in-
carceration because the more
money we put into our schools
the less money we’ll have to
put in prisons.”
After his advocacy efforts
fell flat Barnes decided to run
for office himself. He told stu-
dents to take their values to
the street, people’s doors and
phone lines. While he won his
first race in the Wisconsin As-
sembly, he lost a race for state
senate. He told students that he
learned more from losing than
he did from winning and sug-
gested students consider that in
their own shortcomings.
Barnes stressed the impor-
tance of local government,
telling students it matters more
than they think. Changes at
the local level will likely have
more impact on their lives, he
said.
Barnes also talked about the
importance of diversity and
embracing differences. He said
despite what people may think
he and Governor Tony Evers
are very different people.
“We bring a diverse set of
experiences, we’ve lived very
different lives,” Barnes said.
“We come from two different
generations and I think that is
ultimately what will make us
very effective at government.
We are able to talk to each
other about things we would
have otherwise never known.”
Barnes said while Evers has
spent his career in public edu-
cation, he comes from one of
the poorest and most incarcer-
ated zip codes in the country.
He said everyone should have
the same opportunities regard-
less of their background. The
next governor or president may
have been in the auditorium
that day, Barnes said.
Barnes ended his speech by
welcoming students to visit
him at the state capitol.

Swimmers put on a show
Middleton wins the
Cardinal Relays
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
One sign of a great team is
how it rebounds from adver-
sity.
Using that as a barometer,
it’s more than fair to use the
word “great” with Middle-
ton’s boys swimming and
diving team.
The Cardinals, ranked No.
2 in the state, fell to top-
ranked Madison West, 104-
66, in a Big Eight Conference
dual meet Friday.
Less than 24 hours later,
though, Middleton won the
highly-competitive 13-team
Cardinal Relays — an event
that included No. 1 Madison
West.
Middleton finished with
180 points and outdistanced
the second-place Regents
(168). Madison Memorial
(157), Verona/Mount Horeb
(156) and Arrowhead (146)
rounded out the top five.
“The win against West on
Saturday was a big morale
booster for the guys,” Middle-
ton coach Dan Lynam said.
“Friday was a tough meet for
us.”
Fortunately for the Car-
dinals, Saturday went much
better.
Jack Boyle and Middleton’s boys basketball team put a scare into Madison East before falling last Saturday.
Sports
Middleton opened the
day with a second place fin-
ish from Archer Parkin, Jack
Mondi, Jay Sullivan and Cal-
vin Roberts in the 200-yard
medley. The Cardinals’ quar-
tet of Blake Zillner, Mathew
Gutzmer, Jack Murray and
Andrew Martin was third in
the 800-yard freestyle relay.
Then Middleton’s foursome
of Mondi, Venden Berge, Sul-
livan and Nathan Kim was
third in the 400-yard medley
relay.
“Our first three relays got
us off to a good start,” Lynam
said. “But the momentum re-
ally started to swing our way
at the 200 freestyle relay.”
It sure did.
That’s where Parkin, Rob-
erts, Ben Collier and Nate
Lamers combined to win
the 200-yard freestyle relay
and set a meet record in the
process. The Cardinals fin-
ished the relay in 1:27.73 to
break the old meet record of
1:28.12.
“We had four guys have
season best swims and it
ended up being almost our
fastest 200 free relay of the
season,” Lynam said.

Times-Tribune
Middleton’s girls gymnas-
tics team defeated Janesville
Parker, 129.925-103.20 last
Thursday.
The Cardinals competed
without senior Jordan Bag-
got (illness). But several oth-
ers stepped up, including
all-around champion Taylor
Engelkes, who posted a 34.475
score.
“I was really proud of the
team,” Middleton coach Kari
Steck said. “It’s always inter-
esting when the top leader and
gymnast on the team doesn’t
compete. It can really damage
the drive and dynamic of the
team. However, the girls pulled
together and had a great meet.”
Engelkes finished first on
the vault (8.35), the uneven
bars (8.60), the balance beam
(8.975) and the floor exercise
(8.55).
“Many of the girls are add-
ing new skills into their rou-
tine, and working on cleaning
up their routines,” Steck said.
“I was very impressed that we
scored a 129.9 — our second
highest team score — without
our top scorer, Jordan. Gym-
nasts like Taylor Engelkes and
Ella Mock really stepped up. It
in the Big Eight Conference.
Middleton scored seven
second period goals against
La Follette/East and cruised
to an easy win.
Andrew Chafe had two
goals and Bryce Schuster both
had two goals against La Fol-
lette/East. Nate Burkard had
a goal and two assists, Jake
Pavelski had a goal and an
assist, and Brooks Kalscheur
and Jack Baltes both had
goals.
Taylor Engelkes was the all-around champion against Janesville Parker last Thursday.

potential of the team, and what
is to come.”

Lancers drill Cardinals
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
The gameplan was simple.
Protect the ball. Play at a
controlled pace. Feed the bigs.
If only the execution was
that easy.
Middleton’s boys basketball
team went to Madison La Fol-
lette last Thursday to face a
Lancers team that plays in fifth
gear and tries taking teams out
of their comfort zones. Unfor-
tunately for the Cardinals, La
Follette’s style of play won
out.
Middleton had 29 turn-
overs and let La Follette dic-
tate tempo in what eventually
became a 65-46 Lancers win.
The Cardinals had their six-
game winning streak snapped
and fell to 8-4 overall and 5-4
in the Big Eight Conference.
La Follette improved to 8-3,
7-2.
“We knew coming in that
they really feed off the energy
of your turnovers,” Middleton
senior guard Sam Close said.
“And really our game plan was
to try and slow it down, play
at our pace and get it inside,
because obviously, we had
height on them. They were
quicker, but we didn’t want
them to use that.”
Cardinals senior post Jake
Klubertanz was a force in-
side with 15 points and seven
rebounds. But La Follette’s
constant ball pressure — from
endline to endline — and Mid-
HOOPS
well in the first, which opened
everybody up,” said Middleton
junior guard Cole Deptula.
The second half was a dif-
ferent story, though. The Car-
dinals weren’t able to get ball
inside after East switched to
a zone defense, which forced
them to use a smaller lineup at
times and put up more outside
shots. Middleton went 7-of-22
(31.8%) on field goals in the
second half, going 2-for-12 on
three-point attempts (16.7%).
“Second half we just couldn’t
get any looks, we couldn’t get
touches in the paint. At times
we seemed robotic at the top of
the key, our guards just pass-
ing it back and forth,” Bavery
said. “Our guards were under a
lot of duress. When our guards
are under pressure, our wings
have to come to the ball more
and our bigs have to step up and
get open. We just didn’t do that
tonight.”
Middleton didn’t attempt its
first two-point shot of the sec-
ond half until nearly eight min-
utes into the period — which
was missed but resulted in free
throw attempts. The Cardinals
didn’t attempt another two-
point shot until there was 5:49
left in the game — nearly five
minutes later — which they
made. East forced 11 turnovers
during the stretch.
“The beginning of the sec-
ond half is what really got us,”
Deptula said. “We tried to get
it inside, but (Jevan Boyton)
dleton’s high turnover count
meant Klubertanz took just
seven shots (and made five).
Close added 12 points on
5-of-11 shooting. La Follette,
which played without leading
scorer Troy Reeves, got 17
points from both junior guard
Ben Probst and junior forward
Isiah Stewart.
“They’re the only team in
the league that can dog you
baseline to baseline and we
don’t have an answer for it,”
Middleton coach Kevin Bav-
ery said. “We talked a lot be-
fore the game about turnovers.
And of all the things we said
we can’t let happen, they hap-
pened.”
They sure did.
Middleton began in a man-
to-man defense, but couldn’t
keep up with the quicker
Lancers. And just six minutes
into the game, La Follette had
forced five turnovers and raced
to an 18-5 lead. The sharp-
shooting Probst had eight
points in the first four minutes
and Stewart had five points in
the first 3:20.
“We’ve come a long ways
in our man-to-man,” Bavery
said. “But we just couldn’t
stay in front of the ball.”
The Cardinals shifted to a
2-1-2 zone and answered with
an 18-6 run to close within 24-
23. Close scored seven points
in the burst — including a
three-pointer from the left
wing — and reserve forward
Parker Van Buren had four
points thanks to a nifty high-
for (East) was making it really
tough to drive or pass it in to
high post. We had to figure that
out, which we really didn’t do
until it was too late.”
Deptula was a bright spot
for Middleton and led the team
with 14 points, including 11
in the second half. Deptula
finished the night 5-of-7 from
the field, including 3-of-4 on
three’s.
“Cole had struggled against
La Follette, so it was nice to
see him come back from a con-
fidence standpoint,” Bavery
said. “He hit a few threes and
he took the ball to the rim nice
a couple times. Good bounce
back for him.”
East junior Anthony Wash-
ington typically fills the box
score, as he entered the game
averaging 18.4 points per
game. Middleton held him to
11 points, though.
Instead it was senior guard
Montae Thompson who hurt
the Cardinals, as the senior
guard scored 23 points to lead
all scorers.
“Thompson really hurt us
tonight,” Bavery said. “He
hurt us penetrating the middle,
shooting over us, going to the
rim baseline and beating us
before our rotation could get
there. He hurt us coming off
ball screens.”
The first half was back and
forth, as East held the largest
lead at 7-2 early in the game.
The teams exchanged leads 13
low game he executed with
Klubertanz.
The Lancers finished the
half on a 9-2 run, though, over
the final 2:25 of the period and
grabbed a 33-25 lead at the
break.
Middleton outrebounded La
Follette, 19-9, in the first half
and shot 50.0% from the floor
(10-of-20). But the Cardinals
had 15 turnovers, several of
which the Lancers turned into
transition baskets of their own.
“We knew they would have
some runs,” Close said. “They
take advantage of your turn-
overs. We just had to limit
those and bounce back if they
had a run, not get too low.”
Middleton closed within
35-31 just three minutes into
the second half and it appeared
the final 18 minutes would be
a nailbiter. The Cardinals got
baskets from Close and senior
guard Jack Boyle, and a pair
of free throws from senior for-
ward Ben Scher to claw within
four.
But that was the closest
Middleton would get.
La Follette hit the Cardinals
with a 10-0 run that took just
1:50 and stretched its lead to
45-31. Middleton followed a
familiar pattern, turning the
ball over on four of six posses-
sions during the Lancers’ run.
“Our margin for error is
very small,” Bavery said. “It
starts with taking care of the
ball. And everything we talked
about and worked on in prac-
tice was being strong with the
times in the first half and East
took a 28-27 advantage to the
locker room. Senior Jake Klu-
bertanz led Middleton with six
points at halftime.
East opened the second half
on an 8-0 run to go up 36-27
before Deptula drained a three-
pointer at the 11:26 mark. The
Purgolders’ run grew to 19-5 to
start the second half and East
went ahead, 47-32, before Klu-
bertanz made Middleton’s first
two-point bucket at the 5:49
mark.
Middleton got back to within
nine points with 1:34 left in the
game, but the deficit was too
large to make up against East’s
defense.
The game against East
marked the end of a tough
three-game stretch for Middle-
ton, as it had to face Sun Prairie
(fourth in Big Eight), Madison
LaFollette (tied for second),
and East (first). The Cardinals
still have to face Sun Prairie
and LaFollette each once more,
and also have to face Madison
Memorial (tied for second) one
more time.
“We showed tonight that

basketball, not letting them
poke it out after we get a de-
fensive rebound, and not get-
ting into a dribble mode with
your head down. But we didn’t
do good job of that at all.”
Klubertanz banked home a
five-footer and scored on an
assist from junior guard Henry
Patterson to pull the Cardinals
within 45-35 with 11:50 left.
But Middleton never got the
lead back to single digits.
The Cardinals shot just
6-of-18 in the second half
(33.3%) and had 14 turnovers
after intermission.
“This team is probably fur-
ther behind in terms of read-

“We showed the ability to

“I can guarantee those games

second place finish in the
300-yard butterfly relay. Mid-
dleton’s quartet of Nick Hinz,
Gutzmer, Lamers and Martin
then won the 500-yard free-
style relay.
“From there we knew if we
kept getting second place we
could keep it close for the last
relay,” Lynam said.
Collier, Hinz, Wesley Car-
penter and Sam Gessler were
second in the 100-yard free-
style relay. Parkin, Zillner,
Sam Larsen and Peterson
were also second in the 300-
yard backstroke relay.
Middleton picked up a huge
win in the 300-yard breast-
stroke relay, where Gessler,
Mondi, Carpenter and Kim
finished first.
“Nathan Kim managed
to touch out (West’s) Henry
Miller and the guys went
wild,” Lynam said.
Middleton then capped
its big day by winning the
400-yard freestyle relay. The
group of Zillner, Roberts,
Hinz, Collier, Carpenter, Pe-
terson, Lamers and Martin
finished in 2:56.90 and edged
Madison West by 0.06 sec-
onds.
“The guys were so fired up
they swam all out,” Lynam
said. “We had at least four
ONLY FOR TOWN OF MIDDLETON RESIDENTS
guys set new PR’s. It was
great to see.”
The win was a terrific mo-
rale booster for Middleton,
which had struggled against
the Regents one night earlier.
“I think (West coach)
Amanda (Ellmaker) knew it
was going to be a close meet,”
Lynam said. “She is a talented
coach as proven the night be-
fore, but in the end we had
more depth that allowed us to
spread out our top end speed
more.
“The lowest any of our ‘A’
relays placed was third, which
combined with some key wins
kept us just out of reach. Plus
there were a few relay fast
swims from some of the other
teams, which made it an ex-
citing meet to be a part of.”
The Cardinal Relays pro-
vided the perfect cure for
Middleton’s rough night at
Madison West.
“West is an incredibly tal-
ented team and to go swim
them at their home pool only
adds to the challenge,” Lynam
said. “We were pretty hyped
up for the dual meet, but once
we started racing everyone
was feeling pretty flat. It was
a meet that could have been
decided by races of less than
half a second, but West was
swimming much faster than
us.”
Martin won the 200-yard
freestyle and the 500-yard
freestyle, while Kim won the
200-yard IM.
Parkin was second in the
50-yard freestyle, Lamers was
second in the 100-yard butter-
fly and Kim was second in the
100-yard breaststroke.
Peterson was third in the
100-yard freestyle and the
100-yard backstroke.
Middleton’s 200-yard
medley relay team of Parkin,
Mondi, Peterson and Lam-
ers was second. Parkin, Kim,
Lamers and Martin were sec-
ond in the 200-yard freestyle
relay. And the quartet of Zill-
ner, Kim, Martin and Peterson
were second in the 400-yard
freestyle relay.
“Even in the events we
won, they got second, third
and fourth, which still out-
scores us,” Lynam said of
West. “After the meet we fo-

cused on regrouping and com-
ing at them fresh the next day.
“I think the guys really took
it to heart that we had another
chance to swim against them
and didn’t want to take it for
granted. It was great to see
everyone swimming for the
team. There is a lot more at
stake when you are on a relay
with three other guys, and
they understood that.”

Middleton
holds off
La Follette
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Off nights are no longer an
option.
Bad games need to be a thing
of the past.
That’s the mindset of Mid-
dleton’s girls basketball team,
which has great expectations in
the second half of the season.
The Cardinals, who are still
in the running for a Big Eight
Conference title and a No. 1
seed in the postseason, notched
a huge win last Tuesday that
could go a long way towards
keeping those dreams alive.
Middleton jumped to an 11-
point halftime lead and held
off host Madison La Follette,
55-50. The Cardinals improved
to 8-2 in the Big Eight Confer-
ence, one game behind league-
leading Sun Prairie, and are 9-5
overall. The Lancers fell to 7-3,
10-3.
“It was an important one be-
cause they had two loses just
like we did,” Middleton coach
Jeff Kind said. “They are kind
of an up and coming team …
but we knew this could go a
long way toward establishing
what might happen with seed-
ing in the tournament.”
The girls coaches won’t
seed the postseason for nearly
a month. As of today, though,
Sun Prairie would be the likely
No. 1 seed in the Janesville
Craig Sectional and Middleton
would be the probable No. 2
seed.
A big reason for Middleton’s
current lot in life was its perfor-
mance against the Lancers.
Senior guard Charlotte Dunn
had 13 points and four rebounds
and did a solid job against La
Follette’s pressure defense.
Junior forward Sitori Tanin
had nine points and 14 re-
bounds, while senior center
Hannah Flottmeyer had 12
points and six rebounds. Ju-
nior guard Evie Coleman had
10 points and junior forward
Kendall Roquet added seven
rebounds.
“At times we looked like a
really good team,” Kind said.
“At other times, some of our
bad habits reared their ugly
head.”
Middleton looked like world
beaters in the first half. The
Cardinals led, 15-12, with just
under nine minutes left when
they smacked the Lancers with

a 16-0 run and grabbed a 31-12
lead.
La Follette closed the half on
a 10-2 run over the final 4:04
to pull within 33-22 at halftime.
Overall, though, Middleton
played a strong and steady half.
“We moved the ball well
against their zone,” Kind said.
“We got some open shots and
did a nice job overall.
“Our ‘D’ is improving. We
have a better concept of man to
man and team defense instead
of just stopping your girl. Those
things were plusses.” Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld

an ideal time.
“It worked out all right,”
Kind said. “We can kind of hit
the reset button.
“We were able to take three
full days off, almost four. So
we should have some fresh legs
when we get back to it.”
