New Hotel Proposed in Discovery SpringsArchitect for the project from
By Cameron Bren
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–Intercon-
tinental Hotels Group, which
owns Holiday Inn, is proposing
a 95 room mid-tier hotel at 2350
Deming Way. Developer for the
project Luke Stauffacher says
despite the 10 hotels already in
the area there is an underserved
demand for affordable, clean
rooms. The developer was
looking for feedback from the
plan commission which gave
positive sentiments but also
suggested a few changes.

shootout with police.
At the Oct. 2 meeting, Foulke
said because the case is still
under investigation he could

the district attorney. He said he

and nearby businesses and pub-
the Knothe & Bruce firm’s Greg
Held and Stauffacher intro-
duced the proposal to the plan
commission and explained the
concept behind Intercontinen-
tal’s new brand, Avid Hotels.
Stauffacher said the idea is to
target people looking for a clean
room with minimal amenities
and a lower price than premium
hotels. He said over the last 15
years the gap between cheaper
hotels and luxury hotels has
grown further apart.
He said that brands which
started out as mid-tier added
more and more amenities over-
time until there were few mid-
tier hotels around.
“What this created was this
gap between upper midscale
and the economy,” Stauffacher
said.
Stauffacher also noted Hilton
introduced a similar design
called True which was the
fastest growing brand in the
market until IHG’s Avid was
introduced.
Plans for the building would
be minimal with no pool, a
small fitness room and only
grab-and-go breakfast items.
The design focuses on density
and efficiency, Stauffacher said.
The tighter design calls for
less parking than what is re-
quired under the city’s parking
ordinance, Stauffacher added.
One space per lodging room
plus one additional space for
every eight units is required for
hotels in the city which would
result in about 107 parking
stalls though the proposal in-
cludes about 100.

MIDDLETON–One month
after school board member
Linda Yu resigned for personal
reasons, the board appointed
former school board member
Bob Hesselbein to finish out
the last year of a three-year
term for Area IV, at its Sept.
24 meeting.
The open board seat had a
total of seven candidates seek-
ing nomination including Car-

building from two different en-

suspect was down.

rector Eileen Kelley said some-
thing would likely need to be

Plan commission member
Wayne Pferdehirt asked if there
would be electric car charging
stations. Stauffacher said he has
installed charging stations at
four other hotels he’s developed
and would do so at this one.
Paulsen asked if the build-
ing could be rotated to fit more

the design is intentionally ar-
ranged to emphasize the corner.

Paulsen also asked Stauff-

have not thought that far ahead.
When asked the estimated value
of the building, Stauffacher said
about $10 million.
Mayor Gurdip Brar said he

Play Improv Jazz at Common Ground By Michelle Phillips
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–On the sec-
ond and fourth Wednesday of
every month, jazz musicians
converge on Common Ground
to take part in Our Middleton
Jazz (OMJ) Jam, and improvi-
sational, impromptu collabora-
tion of local jazz musicians.
Laurie Lang, a longtime jazz
musician recognized a couple
of years ago that the jazz pro-
gram had grown considerably
under Middleton High School
Band Director Doug Brown,
who took the reins three years
ago. Lang said with 200 high

“I decided to contribute to
the community by hosting a
jazz jam, showcase and work-
shop in Middleton. Trying to
create a space where MHS stu-
dents and other members of the
community, all ages, can come
together to experiment with im-
provisational musical expres-
sions,” she said.
As the group grew, Lang
said it became clear that Stamm
House, OMJ’s original home
was no longer big enough. She
said when Common Ground
opened in the spring it seemed
to be a perfect spot for the
event.
“The OMJ Jam has had a
steadily growing interest and
attendance in the community.
During the summer, we added
an educational component to
it. Students could come at 4:30
and “take a lesson” in how
to improvise jazz. Common
Ground provided the space and
the food for this class and then
the jam and showcase,” Lang
added.
OMJ Jam is free and open
to all jazz musicians. The next
installment of the event will
be Oct. 8 at Common Ground,
2644 Branch St, Middleton.

Returns to Middleton Library “Four law enforcement officers

MIDDLETON–The Mid-
dleton Public Library has an-
nounced the return of author,
historian, and storyteller Jerry
Apps for a special author event
on Oct. 8 at 7 p.m.
Apps will read from and dis-
cuss his latest book, “The Sim-
ple Things: Lessons from the
Family Farm,” published this
month by the Wisconsin Histori-
cal Society Press. In this collec-
tion of thoughtful essays, Apps
holds everyday items up to the
light for a closer look, plumb-
ing his memories for the deeper
meanings of these objects that
share the values instilled in him
during his rural boyhood in the
1940s and 1950s. He concludes
that people who had the op-
portunity to grow up on fam-
ily farms gained useful skills,
important knowledge, and life-
long values that serve them well
throughout their lives.
Apps has worked as a rural
historian and environmental
writer for 48 years. For 10 years
he wrote a weekly column on
nature appreciation for several
central Wisconsin newspapers.
He has written many books on
nature, agriculture, local history,
and environmental topics. Mys-

Rep. Pocan Discusses Flooding, Government Spending

By Heather Stanek
Reedsburg Independent
REEDSBURG–Rep. Mark
Pocan made it to Reedsburg
after being delayed by flooding.
Pocan, a Democrat, had sched-
uled a visit in August but had
to postpone his trip when heavy
rain left much of the region un-
derwater.
During his stop last Wednes-
day, he talked with personnel at
the Reedsburg Public Library
and Reedsburg Boys and Girls
Club. He also took a moment
to meet with local media to talk
about flooding and other issues
affecting the area.
His goal with the flood was re-
minding Gov. Scott Walker of
the deadline to apply for federal
aid. The state had 30 days to
petition for assistance, and it’s
now waiting for a decision.
He said FEMA officials are
in the state to assess the dam-
age.
Black Earth, another com-
munity in his district, was also
severely affected by floods. He
lives near the town and recalls
seeing photos and reports of
the damage to roads, bridges,
homes and businesses.
Health care is another con-
cern, and it comes up no matter
where he goes, he said. People
are nervous about what’s hap-
pened to the Affordable Care
Act due to increasing costs.
Prescription prices are an ob-
stacle for many constituents.
Other issues are degrading
roads and infrastructure, flat
wages and political corrup-
tion. He said the economy has
improved but workers have re-
ported less-than-stellar raises or
pay in general.
People are also increasingly
fed up with the “swamp” in
Washington, citing a broken,
corrupt system. That may be
why more adults are interested
in voting in this election. Based
on that interest, turnout could
be impressive this November.
Pocan noted that Wisconsin
used to be known for having
one of the highest voter turn-
outs in the nation. He’d like to
see that trend return.
The budget is also on every-
one’s mind. Pocan said he’s
frustrated at how some funding
has been allocated under Presi-
dent Donald Trump’s adminis-
tration. Money that could have
gone for hurricane relief, for
example, has instead been spent
on immigration enforcement.
Still, there are limits to what
Trump can do with government
dollars, Pocan said.
“The president is holding his
breath for money for the wall
but even Republicans aren’t
eager to give it to him,” he said,
referring to Trump’s push to
build a wall at the U.S.-Mexi-
can border.
On a personal note, Pocan
said he wanted to stop by the li-
brary and Boys and Girls Club
because he values those types
of entities. He said libraries are
crucial, especially for people in
rural areas with limited Internet
access. Libraries provide com-
puters and technology, as well
as resources to help people find
information, apply for jobs or
complete tasks that must be
done online.
There’s been a push to ex-
pand broadband services for
rural areas but it’s still a work in
progress, he said. In the mean-
time, residents can rely on their
libraries.
He added that the Boys and
Girls Club gives kids a place to
go after school while offering
them enrichment activities, ex-
ercise, and entertainment.
“They are great programs for
kids,” he said.

Middleton Action Team to ‘Beyond the Ingenue’

Host Speakers in October
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton Action Team (MAT), a group
of volunteers helping progres-
sives win elections, is hosting a
speaker series every Thursday in
October, focusing on the impor-
tant issues facing our state and
nation in the November 6 elec-
tion. The inaugural event will be
held on October 4 at 7 p.m.
The series will be held at the
MAT campaign headquarters
located at 6709 Frank Lloyd
Wright Ave., Middleton (the
former Starbucks in Middleton
Hills). Topics will address envi-
ronmental protection, health care,
infrastructure, and education and
feature area speakers.
The first Speaker will be Lloyd
Eagan, President of the Friends
of Pheasant Branch. She will
speak about the need for conser-
vation and how the Friends will
lead the rebuild effort for the
Middleton Conservancy which
was devastated during the recent
August flood.

All are welcome to attend, and
light refreshments will be served.
Coming to Library
MIDDLETON–On October 24, the Middleton
Public Library will host a performance by Music
Theatre of Madison entitled “Beyond the Inge-
nue.” The title refers to a stock, feminine char-
acter prominent in musical theater who is naïve,
innocent, and unsophisticated.
In this extraordinary revue, Music Theatre of
Madison pushes beyond this stale characteriza-
tion to explore female characters struggling with
and embracing issues affecting today’s women:
identity, self-acceptance, motherhood, and more.
“Beyond the Ingenue” includes a couple rare
gems, some original works, and even a few well-
known tunes, many of them written by female
composers and lyricists.
The performance will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the
library’s lower-level Archer Room. Registration
is encouraged: Online at midlibrary.org/events
or by email at info@midlibrary.org. This special
performance is made possible by the Friends of
the Middleton Public Library and a grant from
Beyond the Page, an endowment funding hu-
manities programming at Dane County Public
Libraries.

and argued with Baby Boomer
women that, the amount of
progress that was really made
during the ‘70s Women’s Move-
ment has been inflated. Of
course, there is less inequality,
but women are still not treated
equally.
The older women in my life
talk about not being about to get
credit without a man to sign on
the loan, something I witnessed
firsthand as an early teen. And
then, there was the inequality in
the workplace, many women the
age of my mother had limited
options. Most became teachers,
nurses and wives. It used to be
common to beat your wife and
kids. The women’s movement
brought abuse out from behind
the closed doors of many a
home.
Here is what it didn’t do, and
why women still need to rise up.
It did not change the percep-
tion of women as objects or
them if their advances are de-
nied, or if they attempt to sexu-
ally abuse a woman.
There are plenty of men that
don’t think women should be in
charge. I have encountered many
of them throughout my career.
An older man at one of my jobs
referred to me when introducing
me to a new person as, “the little
gal that runs the paper.” As a deli
manager, some 18-year-old kid
told me he didn’t have to listen
to me because I was a woman.
So I fired him.
Women are not equal in their
homes. Women in most house-
holds still do the majority of
cooking, cleaning, laundry and
shopping for the family. Often,
they take command of the
household budget and sched-
uling. They also are mostly in
charge of child rearing, whether
at home or daycare, and being

are treated. For some reason,
sometime in the 1980s, we de-
cided we didn’t have to fight
for our rights anymore. Maybe
it was because we were riding a
wave of victory because of the
gains made. Perhaps we were
now distracted by all of the new
things we were able to do, see,
experience and buy. Women
were no longer confined to mar-
riage nursing and teaching as
their life’s choice. It could be
that we just had less time. We
somehow slipped into a compla-
cency, or more like a slumber,
Rip Van Winkle-style.
We also judge each other,
harshly. We put other women
down for their choices. It’s
ironic, really, because all wom-
en’s movements in this country
have been about giving women
more rights and, subsequently,
choices. Women judge women
on their appearance, whether
guilty of this. Just because you
have gained power or realized
longevity does not mean you
can take whatever you see fit.

OBITUARIES
Marilyn Stevens Blaschke
MIDDLETON/ MADISON–Marilyn Stevens Blaschke, age 83,
passed away on Sept. 14, 2018, at Agrace HospiceCare surrounded
by her family. Marilyn was born
on July 1, 1935, in Madison,
WI, to Rudolph S. and Loraine
(Neesvig) Stevens, the second
of five children. Marilyn at-
tended Emerson Grade School
and Madison East High School,
graduating with the class of
1953. She was thrilled to attend
her 65th class reunion in August.
She remained in contact with her
childhood friends throughout
her life as friendship and loyalty
were among her many attributes.
Marilyn also attended the Layton School of Art in Milwaukee to
pursue her interest in painting, a passion she continued to hone well
into her 70s while taking classes at the UW. Other passions included
running, a sport she took up later in life, running in numerous Al
McGuire Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin 5K events. She also ap-
peared on the front page of the San Francisco Examiner newspaper
running in the Bay to Breakers in 1984. Marilyn was honored to
have been featured in Know Your Madisonian and This Is Madison
magazine. She was a treasurer for the Madison Symphony Orchestra
and also chaired the Blackhawk 9-Hole Women’s Golf League. She
enjoyed “Blue Bird” days, entertaining at holidays, watching the
Packers, Brewers and golf. But above all Marilyn’s primary interest
was her children.
In 1961 Marilyn joined her father in the family business known as
“Stevens House of Gifts” (originally “Stevens Dairy Bar” and later
“Stevens Restaurant”), located at the corner of E. Johnson Street and
North Street. Marilyn was the general manager and buyer. Stevens
House of Gifts was a shopping destination known far and wide as
the very best place to buy gifts of all types. Employing 23 full and
part-time employees who were really more like friends and offering
eight rooms of shopping splendor, tour buses full of eager shoppers
would disembark from coaches to enjoy the treasures selected by
Marilyn and her team who annually transformed the store into a
winter wonderland. If you received a gift from Stevens House of
Gifts, you knew you received the very best in style and quality.
Marilyn has been welcomed into eternal life by her mother and
father; her sisters, Delores Stevens Jensen and Alayne Stevens Ma-
caulay; and brothers, Rudy Stevens and Robert Stevens. Marilyn
is survived by her husband of 61 years, Richard; children, Steven
Blaschke (Karen), Ellen Blaschke, Faith Kirch (Tom Meyer) and
Amy Blaschke (Marc Iverson); grandchildren, Elizabeth (Lizzie)
Kirch, Laura Kirch, Alexis Blaschke, Peanut and PeeWee. She is
further survived by brothers-in-law Don Macaulay and Dr. John
Blaschke; sisters-in-law Patricia Blaschke, Joanne Adams and Bar-
bara Ann Doran; many other dear cousins and a host of much loved,
nieces and nephews. Durham, NC, Joyce (Dave) Kuhn of Glendale, AZ, Julie (Jeff) Sar
Marilyn was first and foremost a loving mother, sister, and daugh-
ter. She was a spirited and loyal friend, gracious, glamorous, gener-
ous to a fault and very proud of her Norwegian heritage, which her
children will carry on in her memory. She will be forever missed.
The family is particularly grateful to the nursing staff at St. Mary’s
SSM Health 8 SW for their excellent care, Middleton EMS, Oak-
wood Hebron Hall, the outstanding staff at Agrace HospiceCare
and all of her friends and thoughtful neighbors who reached out to
offer words of encouragement and assistance during this challeng-
ing time. A memorial service was held at Gunderson West Funeral
& Cremation Care, 7435 University Ave., Middleton, on Sept. 20,
2018, with Reverend Mark Bartels presiding. Visitation was held at
the funeral home until the service on Thursday. In lieu of flowers,
memorial donations may be made to the Agrace Foundation or Holy
Cross Lutheran Church Endowment Fund. Online condolences may
be sent to the family at www.gundersonfh.com.
Letters
City Should Control Spending
Letter to the Editor:
As a 40-year resident of Middleton, I have witnessed many
changes in the city; some good, more not so good.
The proposal to add a very costly trailhead at the Pheasant
Branch Conservancy is of the latter. This is totally unnecessary and
the anticipated cost astronomical. Instead, might the city concen-
trate on parking space (especially handicapped) in its downtown?
Let us leave as much green space as possible in our diminishing
parklands/nature areas and concentrate on improving the existing
concrete walks and roads.
Walking to downtown restaurants and businesses makes sense
unless one is elderly/disabled. It is dangerous to cross Parmenter
at Elmwood and especially Hubbard (no four-way stop sign here).
If and when any businesses decide to locate in the new downtown
monstrosities, congestion will double, and pedestrians will have
a greater challenge. Many vehicles apparently cannot travel at a
speed lower than 30 mph on these streets and/or do not know of the
“yield to pedestrian in crosswalk” law. As a driver for an elderly,
handicapped individual, we stopped dining at Middleton restau-
rants, as walking to and parking access is just too difficult. Clos-
ing the downtown area to traffic just makes access for the elderly/
disabled even more difficult.
Another unnecessary expense is the proposed sculpture for the
Parmenter roundabout. Ideally, the center of a roundabout should
be mounded and perhaps planted with small trees. Imagine it is
dark/inclement weather, or one is impaired (of course no one drives
impaired, though police calls would dispute), and all one sees
ahead is flat open space. One might be tempted to cross straight
through a roundabout as if it were a normal four-way intersection,

Parisi Announces 2019 County Budget Initiatives for
Emergency Mental Health Services, Opioid Epidemic
MADISON–The 2019 Dane
County budget will include
significant resources to ad-
dress two areas that have put
an increased strain on law
enforcement and the commu-
nity–emergency mental health
crisis response and the opioid
epidemic, Dane County Execu-
tive Joe Parisi announced today.
“Often, law enforcement and
other emergency responders
are the first at the scene when
someone is experiencing a
mental health crisis or an opioid
overdose,” said Dane County
Executive Joe Parisi. “By ex-
panding proven programs, we
will partner with law enforce-
ment to give them the extra re-
sources they need in a response,
and partner with local agencies
to help ensure those struggling
with mental illness or addiction
get the support they need.”
The County Executive’s 2019
budget will include the single
largest increase in frontline
mental health resources in Dane
County’s history–a $320,000

D. and Catherine T. MacArthur
Foundation’s effort to rethink
America’s jails.
The MacArthur Foundation
last year awarded $50,000 for
the Dane County Community
Restorative Court and the new
money will complement that
work by collecting and building
a front-end justice data model.
“The Dane County Board is
committed to criminal justice
reform and this grant will help
us continue along that path,”
said County Board Chair Sha-
ron Corrigan, District 26, Mid-
dleton. “We thank MacArthur
for recognizing the hard work
taking place here and hope to
continue the strong partner-
ship.”
The new grant is part of
the MacArthur Foundation’s
“Safety and Justice Challenge,”
a national $100 million initia-
tive designed to reduce incar-
ceration by changing the way
America thinks about and uses
jails. Dane County is one of 40
jurisdictions selected by Ma-
cArthur to design and test in-
novative local justice reforms
that can address the racial and
ethnic disparities in local jus-
tice systems.
The $20,000 will be used
over the next year to create a
data model for tracking infor-
mation regarding race, gender,
age and the type of violation
that led to an arrest.
Data collected can then be
used to judge the impact or fu-
ture expansion of current pro-
grams or policies which may
include Dane County’s Restor-
ative Court, Pretrial Services,

The program currently has two

officers in de-escalation of

mental health is an underlying

would be imbedded with the
Dane County Sheriff’s Office,
responsible for patrolling many
rural areas of the county, to ex-

Additionally, the data could

CROSS PLAINS NEWS

Village Board Hears Development Plan, Discusses Flooding at Board Meeting
By Brenda Schultz
Times-Tribune
CROSS PLAINS–The Cross
Plains Village Board met in reg-
ular session on Sept. 24 to dis-
cuss flood related issues, as well
as review the conceptual Pre-
liminary Plat for the proposed
Sundance Residential Develop-
ment. The consent agenda was
approved without any discussion
to include total disbursements
from Aug. 22-Sept. 19 in the
amount of $1,177,673.35 with
$899,363.40 from the Capital
Fund.This consent agenda also
included approval of a payment
request for $110,742.45 from
Janke General Contractors for
work related to the Zander Park
Trail Phase 2 construction.
Caitlin Stene, Village Admin-
istrator, along with Jerry Gray of
Public Works have completed
their inspection training for
those structures residing in the
flood plain. Originally, it was
thought the inspections would
include 30 residences and 15
businesses, but Stene discovered
there were eight fewer structures
in the flood plain than previ-
ously thought.
Trustee Jeanne Statz asked
about the re-paving of Brew-
ery Street and Gray replied that
there was some difficulty in get-
ting a paver this time of year,
but that one might be secured as
early as next week.
Trustee Michael Pomykalski
asked if the placards on homes
denoting their condition can be
removed, and Stene replied that
they could be.
Trustee Lee Sorenson asked
about the number of appoint-
ments at the Open Book Day
for home assessments. Stene
informed him that there were 45.

CROSS PLAINS–The Vil-
lage of Cross Plains is in the
process of updating its 2008
Comprehensive Plan. The Com-
prehensive Plan is the village
guide for the long-term growth,
development, and preserva-
tion of the village and nearby
lands. The plan is available on-
line at cross-plains.wi.us. The
Comprehensive Plan contains
a Future Land Use Map (Map
4a and 4b), which assigns fu-
ture land use categories to all
parcels within the village and
surrounding area. Wisconsin
statutes require that all changes
to zoning within the village
limits must be consistent with
the future land use category
shown on the Future Land Use
Map.
As the village updates its
Comprehensive Plan, it will
review and potentially change
the future land use designation
in some locations on the Future
Land Use Map. In addition to
this review, any interested per-
son, organization, agency or
business may submit sugges-
tions, proposals, or requests to
the village for changes to the
Comprehensive Plan, including
the Future Land Use map, other
maps, and plan text.
The village is initiating a
formal process to consider
these requests. Any party in-
terested in changing an aspect
of the plan must complete a
short application form, which
will assist the village in evalu-
ating the request. Application
forms are available at Cross
Plains Village Hall or online at
cross-plains.wi.us. Only those
requests that have completed
an application will be accepted.
The deadline for requests to
amend the Comprehensive Plan
is Oct. 26 at 4 p.m.
The proposed amendments
are tentatively scheduled to be
presented to the Plan Commis-
sion on November 5. Please
contact Village Administrator
Caitlin Stene at 608-798-3241

which at this event people will receive in ex-
change for a donation to the MOM Food Pantry.
The evening will feature light Hors d’oeuvres,

MOM has led a community-wide effort to help
those with critical needs by providing food,
clothing, housing assistance, emergency funds
and services for seniors. With the help of their af-
filiated churches, area schools, service clubs, and
local businesses, MOM provides support to our
neighbors in West Madison, Middleton & Cross

VACT Produces ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ Just in Time for Halloween
VERONA–The Verona Area
Community Theater is excited
to present Alan Menken’s horror
comedy rock musical “Little Shop
of Horrors” just a couple of weeks
before Halloween, running Octo-
ber 18-22.
Opening on Broadway in 1982
and then hitting the movie theaters
in 1986, “Little Shop of Horrors”
is a classic rock musical popular to
many stages worldwide.
Set in a run-down flower shop
owned by Mushnik (Mike Brady)
in the skid row of any city, “Little
Shop of Horrors” reminds human
existence of the presence of threats
in our lives. The story revolves
around Seymour Krelborn (Ben
Johnson) who stumbles across a
new breed of plant that he names
Audrey II–after his coworker
crush, Audrey (Katie Debs). This
foul-mouthed, R&B-singing car-
nivore (Katie Cass) promises Sey-
mour unending fame and fortune
so long as he keeps feeding it the
blood it needs to survive. With
Audrey dating a chauvinistic den-
tist, Orin (Marcus Wisniewski),
Seymour takes their relationship
into his own hands. Complete
with an ensemble of urchins
(Katherine Allee, Alexia Chiclana,
Natalie Coombs, Marsha Heuer,
Julie Murphy, Janelle Sanabria,
Kallee Scheidegger, Sage Yort,
Lauren Welch), and an “every-
man” character who plays various
roles throughout the show (Craig
Heuer), “Little Shop of Horrors”
will take its audiences through a
comedic set of events leading to
total global domination!
Ryan Odorizzi, director of
“Little Shop of Horrors” could
not be more excited to share this
show with the community. “I have
wanted VACT to produce this
show for a while,” explains Odor-
izzi. “I couldn’t be more proud of
all of the talent that this cast will
present onstage. This show comes
at the perfect time just a couple of
weeks before Halloween. I think
the audiences will enjoy our ren-
dition of the show… with a slight
1980s twist and a female plant.”

Cardinals stay alive in
Big Eight title chase
BY GREGG HAMMILL
For the Times-Tribune
On two occasions this sea-
son, Middleton led a Big Eight
Conference power at halftime.
Both times, the Cardinals
squandered those leads.
Last Friday, Middleton took
care of business.
The host Cardinals led Big
Eight Conference co-leader
Sun Prairie, 13-7, last Friday.
Middleton then outscored
Janesville Craig, 29-0, in the
second half and cruised to an
impressive 42-7 Big Eight Con-
ference victory on Senior Night
at Otto Breitenbach Stadium.

we had with the kids was, ‘Lis-

BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
In 1991, a group of five fresh-
man basketball players arrived
at the University of Michigan.
The quintet — dubbed “The
Fab Five” — was widely re-
garded as the greatest recruiting
class in the history of college
basketball. And it’s easy to see
why, as those youngsters led
Michigan to consecutive trips
to the NCAA championship
games.
Today, Middleton’s girls’
cross country team has a “Fab
Five” of its own — and some
talented upperclassmen, as
well.
And last Saturday, Middle-
ton’s gifted youngsters helped
the Cardinals race to a second
place finish at the Stoughton
Invitational.
Madison West won the team
title with 45 points, while
Middleton was second at 96.
Waunakee (98), Monona Grove
(101) and Stoughton (134)
rounded out the top five.
“The girls were content with
their second place finish at the
Stoughton Invitational,” Mid-
dleton coach Alexa Richard-
son said. “I did not give them
any expectations going into
the meet. I just wanted them to
focus on their own races and

ten we played a pretty decent
first half, but we left plays out
on the field. We made some
mistakes that may have cost us
a little bit, so let’s not do that
in the second half,’” Middle-
ton co-coach Tim Simon said.
“We had the football to start
(the second half) so we had to
put a good drive together and
get a good defensive stop and
if we do that we’re going to be
in pretty good shape. So the
message at halftime was fin-
ish, don’t let up on anything,
finish every play, finish every
series and then finish the game.
And the kids, that’s what they
did. We finished each drive on Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld

Boys eighth
at Griak, but
work remains
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
They have been the hunted
all season long.
Perhaps, they’ll now be the
hunter.
Middleton’s boys’ cross
country team finished eighth
at the 55-team Roy Griak In-
vitational held in Minneapolis.
Most years, the Cardinals
would have been thrilled with
such a finish. But Middleton
— the defending WIAA Divi-
sion 1 state champions — was
looking to challenge for the
title.
Making things more frus-
trating was Big Eight Confer-
ence foe Madison West edged
the Cardinals and finished
fifth.
“I thought we raced OK
as a team,” Middleton coach
Brian Finnel said. “Eighth out
of 55 teams from around the
Midwest is pretty darn good
when you think about it. Most
years if we did that, I would be
elated.
“However, we know the
expectations are high for us
and eighth place isn’t where
we want to be right now. So, I
feel the message to the guys is,
‘we are going in as the under-
dog now.’ We have some work

to do.”
Lauren Pansegrau and Middleton’s girls cross country team finished second at the Stoughton Invitational last Saturday.

Golfers win regional championship

BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune

Becky Halverson knows ex-

pectations are sky high.
Halverson, Middleton’s girls’
golf coach, fully understands
the hopes and dreams of her
Cardinals are through the roof.
But Halverson wants to make
sure her team fully appreciates
each step of the journey.
Take last Wednesday, for ex-
ample.
The Cardinals captured the
WIAA Division 1 Middleton
Regional, an event most ex-
pected them to win. Middleton
fired a 351 at Pleasant View
Golf Course to edge Stoughton
(354) for the team title.
Oregon (358) and Sun Prai-
rie (381) also advanced to the
Reedsburg Sectional, which
was scheduled for Oct. 1, but
was moved to Oct. 3 due to
heavy rains at the start of the
week.
While winning regionals
is a big deal in most places,
Middleton has greater goals. So
Halverson wanted to make sure
her team stopped and smelled
the roses before moving on to
sectionals.
“Winning regionals was cer-

Swimmers win Middleton Relays

BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton’s girls swimming
and diving team won its own
relays last Saturday.
The host Cardinals won
the team title with 368 points,
while Sun Prairie (330), Madi-
son West (326), Verona/Mount
Horeb (320) and Madison Me-
morial (288) rounded out the
top five.
“We went into this meet
knowing the competition would
be much more intense than it
was last year,” Middleton coach
Lauren Cabalka said. “We won
every single relay last year so
the girls had high expectations
for themselves. We wanted to
podium (top 3) each relay and
we were able to do that.”
Middleton’s performance
certainly impressed some of the
coaches at the meet.
“After Middleton, it’s a toss-
up at this point in the season
as to how the remaining four
teams will finish at conference,
sectionals and state,” said Ve-
rona-Mount Horeb coach Bill
Wuerger.
Middleton’s quartet of Han-
nah Aegerter, Makenna Lick-
ing, Bella Chirafisi and Molly
Haag won the 800-yard free-
style relay. Ally Silvestri,
Madelyn Lawn, Alex Anag-
nostopoulos and Emily Keebler
won the 400-yard medley relay.
Middleton’s 100-yard med-
ley relay team of Berkley
Smith, Silvestri, Kaitlyn Pe-
ters and Cora Mack finished
first. The Cardinals’ 100-yard
freestyle relay team of Mack,
Lawn, Smith and Licking won
the 100-yard freestyle.
Middleton’s quartet of Lawn,
Silvestri, Sarah Wood and An-
agnostopoulos won the 300-
yard breaststroke.
Middleton’s quartet of
Keebler, Silvestri, Gabriela
Pierobon-Mays and Mack were
second in the 200-yard medley
relay. Chirafisi, Peters, Haag
and Pierobon-Mays were sec-
ond in the 300-yard butterfly.
The Cardinals’ 300-yard
backstroke unit of Norah Mar-
tin, Keebler, Aegerter and
Pierobon-Mays were second.
The 400-yard freestyle relay
team of Pierobon-Mays, Smith,
Aegerter and Chirafisi was sec-
ond.
Smith, Aegerter, Chirafisi
and Licking were third in the
200-yard freestyle relay.
“Winning your own invite is
exciting and feels great,” Ca-
balka said. “I do think we were
a little sloppy in our execution,
though.
“We need to really focus in
for these next few weeks and
make sure that we are not rely-
ing on our talent alone to win
big meets. We have to execute
our races with a higher degree
of detail and take ourselves
more seriously as elite athletes.
If we can do that, there will be
no limit to what this team can
do.”
Middleton also defeated
Janesville Craig, 131-39, last
Friday.

Girls spikers
still in hunt
for Big 8 title
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
The dream is still alive.
Middleton’s girls’ volleyball
team rolled to straight set wins
over Beloit Memorial last Tues-
day and Janesville Parker last
Thursday.
Now, the Cardinals still have
a chance to share the Big Eight
Conference title.
Middleton was at Janesville
Craig Tuesday, then hosts un-
defeated Sun Prairie Thursday
at 6:30 p.m. If Middleton wins
both matches, it can still tie for
the league title.
“It is a very important week
for us,” Middleton coach
Franco Marcos said. “We need
to win both matches in order to
share the Big Eight Champion-
ship.”
Middleton stayed in conten-
tion thanks to a pair of impres-
sive wins last week.
First, the Cardinals rolled
past Beloit Memorial, 27-25,
25-10, 25-19.   the second set and could not

Boys spikers win consolation title
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Ben White couldn’t com-
plain too much.
After all, Middleton’s boys’
volleyball coach was the man
who set up the Cardinal Invite.
But White and the Cardinals
would have loved a different
format — and outcome — last
Saturday.
Middleton finished in a
three-way for first place in pool
play, but only the top two teams
advanced to the championship
bracket. When the tiebreakers
were crunched, the Cardinals
drew the short straw and were
sent to the consolation bracket.
Middleton went on to win the
consolation championship. But
considering the Cardinals were
ranked No. 3 in the state com-
ing into the tournament, they
were hoping to make a run at
first place in the championship
bracket.
Instead, Kimberly beat Mar-
quette for the tournament title.
“Watching that (Kimberly-
Marquette) match, I saw how
far our defense has to go to
beat those teams consistently,”
White said. “I know we’ve
Middleton then finished in
third place at the Menomonee
Falls Invite last Saturday.
The Cardinals began pool
play with a 25-11, 25-16 win
over West Allis Hale.  
Evie Coleman and Torrey
Coan both had four kills, while
Flottmeyer had three blocks.
Keller Frinzi added nine digs
and Roberts had six assists.
Middleton then toppled DC
Everest, 25-14, 23-25, 15-6.  
Welti led the Cardinals with
seven kills and 17 digs, while
Roberts had nine assists.  
Germantown then defeated
Middleton in the last pool play
match, 25-16, 25-18.
Frinzi and Welti led the Car-
dinals with five kills each, Rob-
erts had eight assists and Farin
had eight digs.
Middleton’s 2-1 record in
pool play was good enough
to earn it a spot in the Gold
(Championship) Bracket. But
Greendale defeated Middleton
in the semifinals, 25-13, 27-25.
“We had four set points in
force a third and deciding set,”
Marcos said. “We played some
of the best defense of the sea-
son. It was a great second set.”
Middleton’s most impres-
sive statistic against Greendale
was its 42 digs. Farin led the
way with nine digs, while Welti
had seven, Frinzi had six, both
five, Roberts had four and By-
ington added three.
“It was a nice balance,” Mar-
cos said.
Middleton then met Ger-
mantown for a third time this
beaten Marquette twice, but
Marquette is going to be play-
ing better in a month. We have
to make sure we are as well.”
Middleton opened with a
25-18, 25-14 win over Mequon
Homestead.
“We started out slow against
Homestead, but we were able
to overpower them in the front
row,” White said.
Brookfield East then toppled
the Cardinals, 18-25, 25-21,
15-11.
“Brookfield East doesn’t
make mistakes,” White said. “I
was talking to a different var-
sity coach later in the day about
Brookfield East and the way he
put is Brookfield East opens
the door for you and says you
can either win or lose, but it’s
your choice because they aren’t
going to make mistakes or by
doing anything flashy.
“We obliged by making all
sorts of mistakes in sets 2 and 3.
After winning set 1 pretty eas-
ily, it was disappointing that we
couldn’t keep it going in set 3.”
Middleton then met No.

guarantee a spot in the cham-
pionship bracket, the Cardinals
needed to defeat the Crusaders

season, and for the first time
the Cardinals toppled the War-
hawks, posting a 19-25, 25-22,
15-13 win.
“This time it was a charm,”
Marcos said.
Coleman led the Cardinals
with six kills, while Roberts
had eight assists and four aces.
Middleton also had 28 digs as
Coleman led the way with five.

more than two points in a three-

“Tiebreakers are what they
are in pool play, and I cannot
really complain about it when I
set up the tournament,” White
said.
Catholic Memorial jumped
to a 13-4 lead in the first set and
held on for a 25-18 win. Mid-
dleton grabbed a 23-18 lead in
the second set, then held on for
a 27-25 win.
Based on point differential,
Middleton needed to win the
third set at least 15-9 to advance
to the championship bracket.
The Cardinals prevailed, 15-
12, but their point differential
wasn’t great enough to avoid
the consolation bracket.
Still, White was awfully

Kevin Meicher (above) and Bryce Carey (right) helped Mid-
dleton’s football team roll past Janesville Craig last Friday.
FOOTBALL
offense and we finished each
drive on defense.”
Middleton put it all together
in the second half as the offense
rolled up 195 yards and scored
three touchdowns. The defense
also forced a pair of turnovers,
including an interception return
for a touchdown, and the spe-
cial teams recorded a fumble
recovery.
“Janesville Craig is a very
good football team, but I just
think we played really well
tonight,” Simon said. “We had
guys rise up to the occasion and
again we talked about how im-
portant it is for all three phases
of the game … everything from
our kick coverage, to the field
goals, the offensive line play
and obviously the running
backs, the quarterbacks and
the receivers making plays and
defense. The defense played
outstanding. They’re the only
team that runs an option in our
conference and that’s a tough
offense to prepare for.”
Middleton improved to 5-2
overall and in conference and
clinched a playoff spot for the
23rd consecutive season, some-
thing no other team has done
in Division 1. Hartland Ar-
rowhead (4-3) can match the
Cardinals for the state’s longest
playoff streak with one more
win this season.
“It’s something that we take
a lot of pride in as a program
and the kids know it,” Simon
said. “It’s nothing we have to
talk about, but they just know
it.”
Middleton senior cornerback
Kevin Meicher — who was
huge in the win with a pair of
interceptions, including one
that he returned 57 yards for
a touchdown — agreed with
Simon.
“That was our goal at the
beginning of the season first
was to make the playoffs and
then win conference and then
hopefully all the way to state,”
Meicher said.
The victory helped Middle-
ton atone for a pair of losses
earlier this season.
The Cardinals fell at Verona,
27-22, in Week 2 and dropped a
30-27 game to visiting Madison
Memorial in Week 4. The Car-
dinals have won three straight
games since then and seem to
have some momentum heading
into a showdown against Sun
Prairie Friday at 7 p.m.
Sun Prairie and Madison Me-
morial are tied for first place in
the league at 6-1, while Mid-
dleton, Verona and Janesville
Craig are tied for third at 5-2.
Middleton still has a shot at
a share of the conference title if
it can win its final two games
vs. Sun Prairie and at Madison
La Follette, and if Madison Me-
morial loses one of its final two
games vs. winless Janesville
Parker on Friday and at Janes-
ville Craig on October 12.
“We needed this,” Simon
said. “It’s three in a row, but
we needed some momentum
going into the Sun Prairie game
because they’re playing really
well.
“Sun Prairie is really rolling.
They stubbed their toe the first
game of the season and have
been rolling ever since. Obvi-
ously, we wanted to come out
with a win and wanted to come
out and qualify for the playoffs
for 23 years in a row, but we
also wanted to come out on an
upswing with some momentum
going into next week.”
The Cardinals took control
on the opening drive of the
second half when Bryce Carey
capped a 9-play, 70-yard drive
with an 18-yard touchdown
pass to Jake Klubertanz in the
back of the end zone. Carey
lofted a perfect pass that Klu-
bertanz hauled in over a pair of
defenders.
Carey then connected with
senior Max Schlicht who was
wide open on the two-point
conversion attempt to give
Middleton a 21-7 lead with
eight minutes, 33 seconds re-
maining in the third quarter.
Carey set up the touchdown
with a 22-yard run to the Cou-
gars 19-yard line on a third-
and-seven play.
“He’s fast and that’s one
thing that we’ve added to our
game plan is the ability to put
him in position where he can
make plays with his legs, not
just his arm,” Simon said of
Carey, who rushed five times
for 70 yards.
Craig drove from its own 26
to the Middleton 30, but was
stymied when Meicher inter-
cepted Ben Coulter’s first down
pass at the Middleton 7-yard
line.
“On that one we had two
guys on the receiver,” Meicher
said. “Keewon Bufford was the
guy covering the receiver on
the outside and he had perfect
coverage on him, so that al-
lowed me to just come up and
jump that route and get the in-
terception.”
Middleton senior defensive
lineman Alex Struck pressured
Coulter just as he released the
pass.
“I give credit to the D-line
pressuring that quarterback and
making him throw the ball,”
Meicher said. “He throws it and
the DBs got to make the play.
It all starts with the pressure up
front.”
The Cardinals capitalized on
the turnover, as Carey scored
on a 26-yard run to cap a six-
play, 93-yard drive. Carey
found a hole and sped around
the left side into the end zone to
make it 28-7.
“He’s got his reads and his
checks, but if he sees an alley,
he’s got full permission to go
and attack it because he can get
from 0 to 20 in a heartbeat,”
Simon said.
The drive included a nifty
51-yard run by junior running
back Kallion Buckner, who
surged through a hole and raced
down the sideline before being
brought down.
“I thought I was going to
score,” Buckner said. “I’m
doing what I can for the team
and just something I can do. I
just do it for the team so we can
get the ‘W’.”
Buckner, who rushed for 166
yards on just 15 carries, came
out with extra motivation in the
second half.
“We went into the fitness
room (at halftime),” Buckner
said. “I went in there kind of
upset. I mean something hap-
pened, first half where I got
chewed out by the coach, but
they’re only trying to get me
better so I can improve. We
came out in the second half and
did what we had to do.”
The Cougars attempted to
strike back, driving from their
own 11-yard line to the Middle-
ton 12, but came up short when
Tressin Kussmaul was stopped
for no gain on fourth down.
Meicher clinched the victory
later in the fourth quarter when
he stepped in front of wide re-
ceiver Tegan Christiansen and
picked off Coulter again. This
time he took it 57 yards down
the sideline beating Kussmaul
and Coulter en route to the end
zone. Sawyer Pertzborn’s extra-
point kick made it 35-7 with
8:19 remaining in the game.
“He’s a pretty special
player,” Simon said. “Those
don’t happen unless our defen-
sive line has got pressure on the
quarterback. That quarterback
was scrambling and when that
happens then that puts our DBs
in positions to make plays.”
Senior Tyler Kalscheur’s
1-yard TD run capped the scor-
ing with 1:54 remaining.
Carey opened the scoring
with an impressive 18-yard
touchdown run in the first quar-
ter. Carey faked a handoff on
the play, rolled out to his right
then cutback and sprinted into
the end zone, colliding with
Craig’s Parker Glissendorf
as he crossed the goal-line to
make it 7-0 with 5:41 remain-
ing in the first quarter.
After Carey’s third-down
pass to Schlicht fell incom-
plete, the Cardinals settled for
a 30-yard field goal by Pertz-
born to make it 10-0 at the 9:11
mark of the second quarter. The
drive included a 32-yard run by
Buckner.
Craig then took advantage of
a Middleton turnover to score
its first points. Middleton senior
Sam Close mishandled a punt
and the Cougars’ Asa Albrecht
recovered at the Middleton 41-
yard line. Seven plays later,
Coulter hooked up with Cuame
Harriel on a 16-yard touchdown
to trim the deficit to 10-7.
Middleton drove to the Cou-
gars’ 3-yard line on its next
possession, but the drive stalled
when the Cardinals were called
for a false start penalty on first-
and-goal and Carey threw three
straight incompletions. Pertz-
born converted the 25-yard
field goal to make it 13-7 at
halftime.
Meicher said the Cardinals
spent extra time preparing for
the Cougars’ attack and it paid
off.
“It was a lot of preparation
at the beginning of the week,”
Meicher said. “It started even
Sunday watching film. Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday we had re-
ally good practices and I think
that led to tonight.”
With a playoff berth in hand,
the Cardinals are now looking
to peak at the right time.
“The best part is we haven’t
reached our full potential yet,”
Meicher said. “Each week
we’re going to keep preparing
harder and harder and hopefully
we reach our full potential and
peak by playoffs.”
continued from page 12
“I really hope we can win
the playoffs because I’ve still
got another year,” Buckner
said. “I’ve still got a lot more
to show. I really love the game
of football.”

Edina (Minn.) won the team
title with 154 points, while
Olathe North (KS) was second
at 163. Madison West had 259
to finish fifth, while the Cardi-
nals had 280 and were eighth.
“No one was happy about
losing to West especially,”
Finnel said. “We have a ton of
respect for them and (coach)
Tom Kaufmann is a guru for
sure. We definitely have a ri-
valry these past few years with
them.
“My assumption is they will
be ranked No. 1 after this meet
and I’m not sure if we will
be (No.) 2 or 3. Either way,
we need to go into these next
races with a bit of a chip on
our shoulder.”
Cardinals senior Caleb
Easton was eighth individu-
ally, finishing the 5,000-meter
course in 16:18.8.
“Caleb raced well,” Finnel
said. “He moved up to the lead
pack by the mile and hung
tough with them. He faded just
a touch, but finishing (eighth)
Middleton was without
standout Roman Ystenes who
is recovering from illness and
stayed closer to home to run in
the Stoughton Invite.
“I would assume he would
have influenced our team per-
formance at Griak,” Finnel
said. “Hard to say though.”
Either way, Finnel believes
his team is capable of more.
“No one is handing us any-
thing because what they think
we can do,” Finnel said. “We
really need to capitalize on
these last four weeks. I thought
as a team we had a good chat
after the race, so I’m hopeful
we right the ship.”

jected places or times would be.
“Having such a young team
I think it’s important to not
get caught up in expectations
at each meet. I have been
extremely pleased with the
amount of ‘togetherness’ and
the team atmosphere in general
this year.”
Freshman Lauren Pansegrau
finished third overall, complet-
ing the 5,000-meter course in
18 minutes, 49.60 seconds.
“Lauren has really impressed
me, mainly because of her work
ethic,” Richardson said. “Lau-
ren is not afraid to go out with
the leaders at the beginning of
every race and see what she
can do. Every race has been an
experiment and learning experi-
ence for her.  But as championship season
“Lauren is quickly learning
that she is already one of the
fastest in the state, and that just
puts more fuel in the fire for her.
My biggest hurdle with Lauren
— which was my own hurdle
when I was in high school —
is holding her back. Lauren
always wants to do extra work
and go the extra mile. Her drive
is rubbing off on some of the
other freshman.”
Freshman Maddie Ruszkie-
wicz was ninth in 19:48.30,
while junior Megan Schwartz

“Upperclassmen Maeve
Gonter and Megan Schwartz
have made their priority to
integrate the freshman into
the team,” Richardson said.
“Maeve and Megan have been
outstanding role models and

sons I think our team is really
blossoming this year.”
