The Middleton Board of Review votes to lower Hall Lumbers property assessment
Decision on the 2013 value is just the latest in an ongoing dispute between the city and the property owner

Most contractors who want to do business with the City of Middleton will have to provide health insurance to the same-sex domestic partners of their employees, following a recent
vote by the common council. The citys own health insurance plan already covered domestic partners. According to assistant city administrator John Lehman, the city wanted to ensure that contractors doing business with the city also offer the same coverage to their employees since they are acting on [Middletons] behalf. The ordinance indicates the requirements are for the protection and welfare of the public in the performance of See BENEFITS, page 6
Its often said that a good compromise sends both sides home a little unhappy. If thats the case, a recent
decision by the Middleton Board of Review was a good compromise. The board lowered the assessment for a local lumber yard in the latest development in a saga that will cost both the city and the business far more in legal fees than they could hope to recoup through the difference in taxes. The board voted 4-1 to set the value of the land at $869,700, in agreement with city assessor Paul Musser. However, the board decided to only value improvements on the property at $100,000, a figure $200,000 lower than the one set by Musser. Arguing on behalf of the city, attorney Matt Fleming contended Hall Lumber had failed to provide enough hard evidence to convince the board of review to overcome a legally required assumption that the assessors findings are correct. Fleming went on to say the Halls use of comparable land sales in other communities was not comparable, nor did it constitute the most logical way to determine the lands value. Fleming called their claims about the value speculation. The city has long contended that its board of review must uphold values that are indicative of each propertys highest and best use, which may or

Mayor Kurt Sonnentag declared a State of Emergency on Wednesday of last week after a barrage of rainfall in and around the Good Neighbor City caused flooding in some areas. While the damage paled in comparison to what occurred in other parts of the state, the precipitation did temporarily close some roadways, cause the Pheasant Branch Creeks usual serene trickle to grow into a roar, flood basements and create a sinkhole in the Pheasant Branch Conservancy.

He did do in order to allow the city to distribute sand, sandbags and/or plastic sheeting to Middleton residents who were working to protect private property from encroaching waters. Without the declaration, the city is prohibited from using public resources to protect private property. City leaders remained in contact throughout much of the week, frequently communicating via email so that different municipal departments could stay informed about local conditions. Public works director Shawn Stauske reported flooding on Laura
Lane in the area near Lisa Lane. A Department of Transportation (DOT) ditch nearby had reached capacity, he said, and the water had nowhere to go. City crews closed a portion of the street in response. They then worked to pump the water further south so it would drain directly into Pheasant Branch Creek. Flooding was observed in the Marina Drive area as well, and homes adjacent to Lake Mendota, roads and houses adjacent to Tiedeman and Stricker Pond were all impacted by the rain. At mid-week, when water levels were at their highest, city leaders estimated between 30 and 40

It was simple coin toss, but its meaning was so much more. On Tuesday morning at 9 a.m., Middleton Fire Chief Aaron Harris (left) and Middleton Police Chief Brad Keil (right) flipped a special Middleton Police Department coin to decide who will be the home team at the second annual Battle of the Badges in August. The charity softball game between the two departments will raise awareness and funds to help families affected by childhood cancer. This year they will play for five-year-old Cole Truitt, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on Nov. 6. The fire department won Tuesdays toss and will be the home team in 2013. The Battle of the Badges was originally inspired by James Helmuth, who died earlier this year.

School board talks teacher pay in light of state budget

by JOHN STAMPEN
Times-Tribune
At the June 24 Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District Board of Education meeting, the board discussed giving a bump to teacher pay in view of the recently-passed state budget. The state budget signed Sunday by Governor Scott Walker includes an increased allocation of $150 per student, $100 more per pupil than the school district had budgeted for as the legislature was in budget deliberations. The board discussed the possibility of using the additional state aid for staff salary increases. The current MCPASD budget plan includes one percent increases, but this additional funding could make it possible to instead match the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase of 2.1 percent. After discussion, the board decided to keep the one percent increase for planning purposes and then revisit the possibility of an increase of 2.1 percent once they have more complete figures on revenues and costs associated with student enrollment and staffing in the district. The June 24 meeting began with board recognition of Middleton High Schools state track and state tennis participants. The board then moved on to those discussions of projected enrollment and staffing, building projects, budgets and potential salary increases for district staff. Assistant superintendent George Mavroulis reported on projected en-
rollment changes in the district. He said current total district student enrollment projections are at 6196, an increase of 120 students over the projections of a year ago. He also noted the district expects these projections will change in the relatively busy summer enrollment months. District-wide, schools were above or below their earlier projections and the district is monitoring numbers to determine what staffing changes are needed to deal with the changes. Superintendent Don Johnson reported on the progress of two building projects underway in the district. Johnson said the projects involving the arts and music areas of Kromrey Middle School might be completed in early August. Johnson shared concerns builders and the City of Middleton raised about the possible future erosion of the sloped bank behind Kromreys south side. This problem could negatively impact the area currently under construction. Johnsonsaid officials are looking into options for protecting the area from erosion. The city and Department of Natural Resources (DNR) were trying to determine whether the stream running behind the sloped hill could be straightened and moved away from Kromrey. Johnson said that doing so was potentially the simplest and least expensive option with a worst-case estimate of $75,000, in additional costs associated with it. Johnson shared several other options See SCHOOL, page 9

Political group continues evolution

PAGE 4 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE
What began during the 2008 presidential campaign has morphed into something different
by JOHN STAMPEN
Times-Tribune
The Middleton Action Team, a Middleton-based group that works to support Progressive ideologies, held its monthly Open Mic Night June 20 at Craftsman Table & Tap. It was the latest event for an organization that continues to change and evolve. The Middleton Action Team was formed by a group of individuals who worked together on the Obama presidential campaign in 2008. Founding member Rose Sime said the group enjoyed campaigning together and members decided they wanted to continue to get together to make a difference in their community through education on issues, political activity and community involvement. The Open Mic Nights are held the third Thursday of every month in the upstairs section of Craftsman Table and Tap. The meetings typically have a reception period, followed by a presentation by an invited speaker, then the microphone is opened up to attendees. Those wishing to take their turn on the microphone put their name on a list and have three minutes to rant, rave, sing, recite poetry, tell jokes. Mike McCabe, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, was the June meetings special guest. He spoke about the increasing influence political donations in national and state politics have over legislation and governance. The Wisconsin Democracy Campaigns website describes its organization as a nonpartisan watchdog group working for clean, open and honest government and reforms that make people matter more than money in politics. McCabe shared his perspective on the problems facing democracy on the national, state and local levels and proclaimed his nonpartisan credentials by stating that he was despised by both sides of the aisle for shining a spotlight on the increasing direct influence donor money has on legislation and policy. He was especially critical of the recent bill that passed in the Wisconsin State Assembly - with bipartisan support - that essentially doubled
the amounts of allowable contributions in state elections. McCabe said the bill benefits wealthy donors who make up less than two percent of those making donations. McCabe said the legislation was symptomatic of a government that is increasingly out of touch with the electorate. He said there is a growing disconnect between the people and those who are supposed to be representing the people, and that doubling the campaign limits increases the influence of the few over the many. McCabe argued that the recently passed budget was written for two states - the Wisconsin of wealthy donors and the Wisconsin of everyone else. He gave several examples, including the Walkers decision to reject $119 million in federal aid that would have insured 85,000 more people through Medicaid. At the same time, the governor allocated up to $73.5 million to pay Wisconsin hospitals to treat patients who are not covered by Medicaid and cannot afford private insurance. McCabe argued the plan was added to appease hospitals, which are major political donors, after the they complained they would lose money because of the governors decision to reject federal aid. He added that the budget doesnt help the 85,000 Wisconsin citizens who would have been covered by the federal aid. Another example McCabe provided was the impact of political donations on funding for public and private schools, where the recently passed budget includes both private school vouchers and tax deductions for families sending their children to private schools that will cost state taxpayers $30 million in 2014-2015. McCabe shared the data that pro school voucher special interest groups spent nearly $10 million in 10 years in Wisconsin and that most of that money came from outside of the state. He claimed nationwide campaign spending by those who favor vouchers outpaces those who oppose vouchers by nearly 10 to 1. He sees the current system of campaign financing as legalized bribery and his organization provides data
showing links between campaign donations by special interests and passed legislation and administrative policies. McCabe said in the last election cycle, nationwide 32 Super Pac donors gave nearly $10 million each, which effectively matched all of the money that both President Obama and Mitt Romney raised from the combined contributions of 3.7 million small donors. McCabe suggested the trends are troubling, adding that he believes the countrys democracy is threatened by the influence of money in politics. However, he derives hope from talking with the people of Wisconsin, he added. He ended his presentation with a quote from former Governor Bob Lafollette who said, The will of the people is the law of the land. He followed with a rhetorical question: Who can honestly say that those words ring true today? An Open Mic followed McCabes talk and featured various local performers and personalities including a stand-up comedian, a fiddle trio, a folksinger and various members of the Middleton Action Team.

A new research study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense will examine possible connections between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), and the signs and symptoms of Alzheimers disease in Vietnam veterans as they age. Entitled The Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder on Alzheimers Disease In Veterans Using ADNI (Alzheimers Disease Neuroimaging Initiative), the study is being conducted at approximately 20 research sites across the U.S. including the Alzheimers Disease Research Center (ADRC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The study will include four groups of Vietnam veterans: those with TBI, those with PTSD, those with combined TBI/PTSD and a control group that has neither TBI nor PTSD. All participants

This study is unusual in that participants will be recruited and screened centrally by the San Francisco Veterans Administration Medical Center before being referred to one of the research sites located near where they live. This approach is being used to assure that subjects meet basic study entrance criteria before their first research clinic visit. This will be the first large-scale study to determine how TBI and PTSD affect the aging brain, said Dr. Sterling Johnson, a neuropsychologist, professor of medicine at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, and a researcher at ADRC. Regarding TBI, one theory is that the traumatic injury itself initiates Alzheimers disease in some people. Another theory is that

TBI makes the brain less resilient or able to cope with Alzheimers or other brain diseases that come along later in life. PTSD is an important factor here, because the hormones released by chronic stress may also damage areas of the brain that are important for memory and may possibly put a person at greater risk for AD. Johnson added. These ideas have not been resolved, and this is the purpose of the study. Veterans who would like to participate must have a documented TBI history and/or PTSD diagnosis and be receiving benefits from the Veterans See PTSD, page 9

all public contracts. Ald. JoAnna Richard (Dist. 3) said she was pleased with the change. I [voted for the ordinance] because if our taxpayer dollars are going to contractors, we should invest those dollars in companies who offer fair and equal access to family coverage to all employees, including those in a domestic partnership, Richard said. Middleton is a city that embraces diversity because its the right thing to do, plus it makes us a stronger, more economically vibrant community. Lehman said the cost of covering domestic partners is already built into the citys premiums. There is no surcharge to city employees for domestic partner coverage. Now private companies who want to take on city projects exceeding $25,000 will be required to offer similar coverage. The measure, which passed with one dissenting vote, states its purpose as to ensure that contractors doing business may not be their current use. Hall Lumber has long countered that the current use is the propertys highest and best use, a claim attorney Charles Giesen, who represented the business, said is bolstered by a decades long lack of offers to purchase the parcel. At the heart of the recent board of review meetings disagreement was how much it would cost to make the site suitable for a different type of business. According to Musser, the buildings Hall Lumber uses for office space and to store raw materials have considerable value. Representatives for the business argued those buildings would have to be razed to make way for a new business, so they have no real value. The board of review landed somewhere in the middle. I think the issue is the buildings, said former Middleton Mayor Doug Zwank, who currently sits on the board of review. For sure, those buildings are over assessed.
BENEFITS
REVIEW
with the City of Middleton under certain public works contracts, service contracts, and contracts for financial assistance provide benefits for their employees in domestic partnerships that are equal to the benefits provided for similarly-situated employees who are married. The common council finds that city funds should support employers that offer equal compensation, including benefits, to all employees, including employees in a domestic partnership, the ordinance continues. The council finds that the equal benefit requirements of this ordinance ensure that city funds are used responsibly and with contractors who reflect values that the city shares while also meeting requirements that public construction contracts be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. Essentially, if a benefit would be available to the spouse of a married employee or to the employee based on his or her status as a spouse, the benefit Board member Bob Jambois said the cost to transform the land for a new use would be considerable. Jambois added that he believed the highest and best use of the land is as a lumberyard. Musser contended the lands highest and best use, based on the surrounding area, would be as a mix of office and warehouse space. The June 6 meeting, which only changed the propertys assessed value for the year 2013, was just the latest in a string of debates over Hall Lumber. The Middleton Board of Review ended a lengthy, contentious meeting on the topic locked in a 2-2 tie one year earlier. The vote meant Mussers opinion that Hall Lumber, located at 2314 Parview Road, should be valued at $1,167,700 stood in 2012. Last year, Hall Lumber argued Mussers figure was unfairly high, saying the parcel was worth around $853,867. The figure was set by Tyson Hall, a member of the family that owns the land. Hall is also a state certified general appraiser.

must also be made equally available to a domestic partner of that employee, or to the employee based on his or her status as a domestic partner. If the contractor is unable to provide coverage, it must provide the employee with its cash equivalent.
From now on, all contracts to which the ordinance applies will include language specifically laying out Middletons Equal Benefits Requirement. Contractors may be required to provide the city with proof that they are compliant with the new rule. Those that violate the ordinance are subject to a forfeiture of not less than $100 and not more than $1,000, plus costs. If a contractor fails to live up to its side of the contract, the city administrator will inform the business and arrange a discussion to encourage the contractor to change its practices to achieve compliance. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to comply, the city may terminate the contract, declare the contractor ineligible for further city contracts, and recover 0.5 percent of the contract award price for each week the party fails or refuses to comply, up to a total of five percent of the contract price, or $5,000, whichever is less. The lone vote against the ordinance
came from ald. Mark Sullivan (Dist. 8). While issues surrounding gay marriage and domestic partnerships are mired deeply within the culture wars, Sullivan said his opposition had everything to do with a lack of information, and nothing to do with opposition to the ordinances intent. Just let me be clear, said Sullivan. I think this is good social policy. I think as a society we should do this. But Sullivan, a certified public accountant and president of the Middleton Finance Committee, said he had insufficient information about how the policy would impact the various contractors that take on municipal projects. There was just not enough testimony, said Sullivan. There were unanswered questions, at the time, about whether this would create a competitive disadvantage for the city. But once again, from a policy perspective I dont have any problem with this, he added. I just wanted more facts. continued from page 1

Those arguing for a lesser value cited other lumber yards in communities outside Middleton there are no similar businesses in the city - as well as far lower values given by state assessments to properties in the same Middleton business park. But arguing on behalf of Musser last year, Fleming said those arent valid criteria for determining a propertys legal value. Last years vote, prior to which board of review members voiced confusion about whether they were legally allowed to set their own value for the land (rather than accepting the alleged price of either Musser or Hall Lumber), followed a quasi-judicial meeting that stretched from 8:30 a.m. into the afternoon. The two sides had already been to circuit court and back to city hall. Earlier in 2012, a Dane County Circuit Court judge sided with Middleton in the citys dispute with its own board of review and Hall Lumber, sending the matter back to the board of review for a new assessment. The board had three new members since it set the

Cols reversed the board of reviews 2011 tax assessment for Hall Lumber, setting up last years rehearing on the value of the business. Cols had concluded that the Middleton Board of Review unreasonably disregarded what the board itself found to be the most reliable evidence of the propertys value. But his decision did not explicitly discuss the legal arguments the City of Middleton made regarding Hall Lumbers evidence. The citys complaint, which was filed July 29, 2011 in Dane County Circuit Court, named both Hall Lumber Sales, Inc. and the Board of Review of the City of Middleton as defendants. At the heart of the disagreement was a May 23, 2011 decision by the board of review that lowered the valuation of Hall Lumbers property from $1,167,700 to $853,867. During two separate public meetings on the matter in 2011, city attorney Larry Bechler told the Middleton City Council the lower assessment was in violation of existing state law. A recording from the 2011 board of review meeting does not exist following a failure on the citys part to turn on its audio equipment a fact that further complicated the caset because the two sides did not agree on what was said during the meeting. While the city only stood to lose about $1,500 annually in taxes from Hall Lumber as of early 2012 the city had spent an estimated $7,790 to challenge the assessment in court Bechler suggested in 2011 that the issue was one of legal precedent and consistency, not money. 2013 marked a new opportunity for Hall Lumber, because landowners may challenge each years assessment before the board of review. So while the arguments that took place before the board of review last month were strikingly similar to those made over the past two years, the matter was not legally tied to the two sides prior litigation. Hall Lumber was formed in Middleton in 1958 and moved to its current location in the business park in 1973.

Meet Middletons soon-to-be newest Good Neighbor, Mathiam Mbow! Although Mathiam is not currently a Middleton resident, later this month he will be. Regardless, as a fourth degree black belt and the head instructor and owner of Kicks Unlimited Middleton, he is a very prominent and well-respected member of our community. Mathiams story begins in Louga, Senegal, where he was born. He is one of nine children, with two older siblings and six younger. In 1996, Mbow moved to Madison to study English and work on his Masters dissertation at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Upon graduation in 1998, he accepted a position at TDS. While working at TDS, Mbow met Laura, who would later become his wife. They had a son, Cherif, who is now seven. Cherif is currently a blue belt at his fathers martial arts school, and will be a second grader at Sauk Trail Elementary School beginning this fall. The road to ownership of Kicks Unlimited Middleton involved some setbacks, good luck and perseverance. With the help of a good friend and martial arts student, Mbow bought Kicks Unlimited Middleton from Jason Huett, the founder of Kicks Unlimited, on November 30, 2010. Two and a half years later, the school has just made a big move to a new space. Since purchasing the Middleton location, Mbow has used the martial arts and self-defense his school teaches to raise money for several local causes. With the support of other Madison-area businesses, he coordinated free self-defense classes at his school (with dona-

He was born to the late Charles and Tillie (Kershek) Koslowsky, September 22, 1924 in the Town of Lena. Art graduated from Oconto Falls High School in 1942. He married Marie Levash September 29, 1945. They took over operation of the Koslowsky and Levash farms. The greatest joy in his life was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Art enjoyed teaching all his grandchildren to drive at Papa Arts Driving School. He also enjoyed deer hunting, fishing, flower gardening, a great meal and a great practical joke. Arthur was preceded in death by his wife, Marie, December 24, 2008. From August 2006 until March 2013 Art lived in Middleton in the loving care of his daughter Karel, son-in-law Angel and granddaughters Maria and Michelle Oliveras where he tried his hand at the pursuits of a city gentleman, making many new friends. In March 2013 Arthur returned back to the home in which he was born to spend his final months in the tender care of his son Ken and daughter-in-law Mary. This was where he could look out with pride upon the fields he tended during his lifetime as a farmer. Art is survived by three children, Ken (Mary) Koslowsky, Coleman; Karen (Young) Park, Waunakee; Karel (Angel) Oliveras, Middleton; grandchildren, Jen (Bill) Blair, Marshall; Jodie Bellow, Denmark; James (An-

TIF will play role in brewery expansion

PAGE 8 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE
Sauk City will provide a total of $1,050,000 in TIF funds to the project
by MICHAEL CARIGNAN Middleton-based Capital Brewery is expanding and plans to construct a 50,000 square foot $11 million brewery facility in Sauk City. The new facility will be located on nine acres on the north side of Community Drive, west of law offices and in line with the Derleth property on the southwest side of the village. With Capital Brewerys commitment to showcase German beers and Sauk Citys rich German heritage, proponents say its a match made in heaven. Sauk City was home to a few breweries in its earlier years, including the Sauk City Brewing Company, where the Leinenkugels got their start. Capital Brewery is a quality company with a quality product and wants continued growth, said Sauk City village president Jim Anderson. They are talking about having bus tours come here and a beer garden like they have in Middleton. Im confident they will bring in other businesses that compliNews Publishing Co.

ment them to the village as well. I really feel like this is a real opportunity. After a six-month site search, the new brewery will begin rising this summer in a nine-acre field at the end of Community Drive and be ready to begin producing beer next spring, according to Capital brewing production manager Brian Destree. The new brewery would have a capacity of about 100,000 barrels out of the gate, and fermenting tanks could be added in the future to bring it up to 250,000 barrels without expanding the expensive brewhouse, Destree said. Capital expects to brew about 33,000 barrels of Wisconsin Amber, Mutiny IPA, Supper Club and its other beers this year. Capital Brewery intends to showcase the facility for tourists and is excited about the opportunity to complement the award-winning Wollersheim Winery nearby. Add in the one of the largest Harley-Davidsons dealerships, local culinary attractions, the Wisconsin River, and the original Culvers restaurant, and the Sauk City area now boosts a number of draws for tourists and day-trippers from Madison, Milwaukee, and the Wisconsin Dells. Construction on the new brewery facility is slated to begin this summer. They are expected to begin moving ground around Aug. 1, said Anderson. Capital Brewery plans to have the new Sauk City facility up and running by
spring of 2014. Its an aggressive schedule but we will try to keep them to it, Anderson said. Village board members, especially Village Trustee Richard Marks, have been attempting to lure a brewery to Sauk City for some time, and they are extremely excited about closing the deal. When I first met their brew master, for me it was like meeting Elvis. Im super thrilled, Marks said. Capital Brewerys move will have other local business thrilled as well. The brewerys practice of inviting local restaurants to cater their events and the increased draw for tourists will no doubt have a positive impact throughout the Sauk Prairie community. Rich Marks did a lot of the legwork on this, said Anderson. When he first got on the board he told me he wanted to bring a brewery, a brew pub and a coffee shop to Sauk City. I didnt know he would bring in one of the top breweries in Wisconsin to Sauk City. Capital Brewery will have a total of 20 employees to begin with, some of which will come from the Middleton location but the majority will be new hires. Anderson sees Capital Brewerys move as a catalyst for more development in Sauk Citys downtown. The Village has several riverfront lots available downtown, and with Capital Brewery giving people another reason to visit Sauk City, were prepared to keep this ball rolling. General Manager of Capital Brewery, Tom Stitgen agrees, and thinks the Village has the right approach to development. The Village has been exwelcoming and tremely accommodating, and we look forward to working with them to see this project through, said Stitgen. Sauk City will provide a total of $1,050,000 in TIF (tax incremental financing) funds to the project. A total of $200,000 will go toward site improvements such as the road, storm sewer and water. Another $850,000 will be used to build a new water treatment facility. Of that $850,000 Capital Brewery will repay a total of $350,000 as a loan. If Capital Brewery is directly responsible for bringing in other businesses to the village those businesses will share in the repayment of the $350,000. The company is looking for used bottling and canning lines for the new facility, so it would end its arrangement with Stevens Point Brewing in which Capital beer is shipped from Middleton for packaging in Stevens Point. Some Capital beer also is brewed at Point. The new brewery will house a tasting room, company offices and an outdoor entertainment venue. Capitals Middleton facility would remain in use, with a focus on small batches and limited-release beers.
people and/or properties were affected by high water levels. City administrator Mike Davis and city planner and zoning administrator Eileen Kelley joined Stauske on a tour of some of the hardest hit areas. They noted some short sections of bike paths that were flooded and closed off at the behest of the Middleton Public Lands Department. For the most part, those sections of path appeared to be along Pheasant Branch Creek, though we observed part of the path inundated east of South Pond, north of Market Street, Stauske reported. Some homeowners experienced
FLOODING

flooding, particularly in low-lying areas such as Gateway North, where resident Connie Threinen had to use two pumps to mitigate water in her basement. With Lake Mendota teetering near levels at which residents on the shoreline traditional begin to sandbag, Sonnentag made the call to declare a State of Emergency. The decision also came shortly after a citizen who lives on Tomahawk Court called the city to ask for sand. While observing conditions, city staff also prepared a letter to be sent to Dane County Emergency Management.
In an email to other city leaders, Davis detailed the Confluence Pond where the weir was completely inundated, Dewey Court where the water was near to cresting yards along the creek leading to Lake Mendota and the South Pond area where water was rushing quickly from Madison into Middleton. Davis added that water was also rising in the Discovery Springs area. Despite being mere feet from the shore of Lake Mendota, Middleton Beach Road and the boathouses there were still in decent shape as the rains subsided, according to Davis. Much of the excess water in Tiede-
man and Stricker ponds was able to flow into Lakeview Pond. City leaders also suspected the rains were responsible for opening up a sinkhole in the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. The hole, which appeared due to the apparent failure of a storm sewer pipe, represented a serious enough emergency that Stauske opted to forego public bidding for the repair of damage. (While the city is legally obligated to go through a public bidding process before hiring most contractors, stat. 62.15(1b) allows municipalities to skip the process in extreme situations.) Finalization of Stauskes recommendation would require passage of a res-
olution by the citys public works committee. The common council would later be required to determine when the emergency ceased to exist. We currently have highly erodable sand adjacent to the creek, we have an exposed large manhole structure that is not well supported, and we have exposed concrete storm sewer pipe that is not at all supported, Stauske wrote to elected officials on Monday of this week. If we wait 8-10 weeks for the design and bidding of a project, there is the potential for runoff from a large rain event to create much more damage, and greatly expand the scope of necessary repair work.
One of the primary grievances of the American Colonists that led to the Revolutionary War and the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was that they were being heavily taxed without representation. No one in Parliament spoke on their behalf, and thus, the colonists could not give input about the taxes being levied or anything else for that matter. Today, despite having representation, tax is still an emotive word. The verbs that often go with it are negative like hit and impose. Were

hit with more taxes. A tax is imposed on us. If representatives see the need to raise funds, people respond as if they were experiencing the homonym - Were hit with more tacks. The colonists won their independence from Britain. But, that put the first thirteen and eventually fifty states in (a state of) dependence on each other. Strength comes from working together. Government is not something that is done to us. It is something that we create in a We the People democracy. Similarly, we can change our collective perspective on taxes from the idea of something taken from us to one of pitching in or investing in our nation. We are in (a state of) dependence upon one another whether we like it or

not. Thats true not just as a nation, but as a global community. The air we breathe, the weather we experience and the water we drink are commodities that support life itself. Fear-based hoarding and attempts to control those resources lead to wars and pit brother against brother in the family of man. Like it or not, we are connected. Imagine the world lived from each of these perspectives: All for one and one for all! or Every man for himself! What images do these statements conjure up for you? When I lived in Clintonville, someone came to my door during election time, wanting me to support a candidate who promised to lower my taxes. She didnt know how to handle my response, which was an impassioned, I dont want my taxes lowered! I want to pitch in for good schools and good roads and disaster relief and national parks and libraries and protection of our natural resources and enough social workers to help the children and families who are at risk, etc., etc.
Some people are quick to make inflammatory accusations that anything short of raging capitalism is undemocratic. When theres talk of aiding society by having programs that help everyone, the socialist name-calling starts. Yet others, who manipulate the system and make tons of money in offshore industry and hide their earnings in disguised off-shore banks so that they dont have to pay their fair share of taxes, can run for president and be touted as patriotic. When a person of great financial means can afford to send their child to private schools and manipulate the tax laws so that they dont have to admit their income and pay their fair share of taxes so that everyone can have good schools, something is incredibly amiss in the hearts of our countrymen. Theres room in a democracy for independent pursuits of life, liberty and happiness as well as for pitching in to build a commonwealth of resources and programs that contribute to the basics that benefit us all. That is, if everyone pays their fair share. Right now Im doing yard work for several folks in the area. I was asked if I was working for cash or did I want to be paid by check. When I said that I wanted to be paid by check because I was declaring the income,

These include building up the sloped hill with various objects, like embedded stumps bored into the sides of the hills, sheet pilings, and rip-rap, which is essentially boulders covered with soil and vegetation. Johnson indicated the school district was in discussions with the city and civil engineers from the DNR to evaluate the options. The City of Middleton also asked Administration to assist with these problems. All study participants will receive brain scans and cognitive testing, as well as tests on their blood and spinal fluid. Blood tests help determine if there are indications for memory problems, and the spinal fluid testing will be for classic Alzheimers disease proteins, such as amyloid.

many people were surprised and responded with things like: You could go under the radar and have more money for yourself. Why pay taxes if you dont have to? Or If so many of the wealthy arent paying all of their taxes, why should the middle class? Or You dont want to pay more taxes and pay for things like drones. My answer, now, is the same as the one that I gave to the woman who was canvassing for the political candidate, running on a platform of lowering taxes - I want to pitch in. And, while I dont want to pitch in for the perpetuation of war, or other crimes against humanity, I accept the fact that I live in a democracy and that there is a system of election and majority rule. I still believe that my vote counts and that if I cant change the mind of the person representing me, I can help to change the faces of the people who fill those seats when I cast my ballot. Yes, its a harder thing to do these days since corporations and their dollars have been allowed to influence our votes, but it is not impossible. Ours is a nation worth investing in, with our voices, our votes and our tax dollars.

GRAND CHUTE Beau Padeld hopped on a picnic table inside Fox Valley Stadium and went into a schtick he had been dreaming about. The Middleton star had become legendary for imitating a boxing announcer introducing Sugar Ray Robinson every time Middleton won a road game. Only Padeld had performed strictly for his teammates on the team bus. At the Cardinals postseason banquet, though, Padeld promised to perform in front of all comers should Middleton win the WIAA Division 1 state baseball championship. So even though showmanship isnt Padelds calling, he was on cloud nine as he amused a large gathering with his Robinson routine. I was hoping Id get to do that, Padeld said. See BASEBALL, page 17

Heise, Ashton top Middleton

PAGE 13
by DENNIS SEMRAU
Joe Heise has spent the past five seasons patiently biding his time on the Home Talent League baseball circuit. The Ashton right-hander showed on Sunday that he has learned his lessons well. Heise scattered six hits and allowed just one walk in tossing a 20 complete game victory over host Middleton in a Northern Section East Division game on Fan Appreciation Day. Middleton fell to 7-3, while Black Earth (8-2) defeated Cross Plains and moved into first place in the division. Ashton improved to 6-3. I started playing when I came out of high school in 2008, said Heise, a Middleton graduate who once pitched for the Cardinals. I was throwing in the night league the last two years and I also threw an inning or two in relief on Sundays. I finally got my shot this year. Coach (Dave Adler) gave me the ball and I hope to keep it. Heise allowed a lead-off single to Josh Hinson to open the second inning, and one out later Andrew Zimmerman lined a single to rightcenter to move Hinson to second base. Heise then induced Tomas Chardon to bounce into a 4-6-3 double play that set the tone for Heises duel with Middleton right-hander Drew Farrell. It was two good teams battling it out, Farrell said. I was thinking wed each score a handful of runs. I thought the first team to five would win it and we didnt put any on the board. Were both contact pitchers who rely on our defense. He was just a little better today. They had two double plays which was huge in a game like this. Eric Simon lined a single to center field for the first of his two hits for Middleton with one out in the third inning. But Heise got Matt Brabender to bounce into an inning-ending 6-43 double play. If a guy is going to keep the ball down and they play defense like that, its a good recipe for success for them, Simon said. It can be frustrating. Youre not striking out but youre hitting the ball and not getting the hits. Middletons Kevin Dubler ripped a one-out double down the right-field
Special to the Times-Tribune
line in the fourth inning. But Heise retired Hinson and Brandon Scheidler on pop-ups to second baseman Aaron Gowan to end the inning. I kept throwing fastballs and would work a curve in there to keep them off-balance, Heise said. You learn the first time around where they like to hit it and just stay away from it. Meanwhile, Farrell retired 11 of the first 12 batters he faced and held Ashton to just two hits through the first four innings. But with one out in the fifth inning, Farrell allowed four of the next five batters to reach base, which proved to be the only offense Ashton would need. Kevin Peternell started the rally with a single to left and moved to second when Shane Adler was hit by a pitch. Jake Page followed with a single to right field to load the bases. After Gowan hit a short fly ball to right field for the second out, Farrell hit Kasey Miller with a pitch to give Ashton a 1-0 lead. It was timely because it was one of the few innings we had a chance to score, Ashton manager Dave Adler said. Miller, who just completed a stellar junior season at Middleton High School, was playing in only his third Sunday game. I got hit 10 times in high school and we scored a run against (Madison) West, but its my first game-winner, Miller said. Thats never happened but Ill take it. Farrell said all it took was a few bad pitches to ruin his day. Ive been dropping (my shoulder) down and the ball has a tendency to run in on righties and it did, Farrell said. It was an 0-2 count, too, and thats unacceptable. Farrell, though, prevented any further damage when he retired Derek Prochaska on a fly ball to center field to end the inning. To stay out of the big inning was a key for us, Middleton manager Brandon Hellenbrand said. To come out of it allowing only one run was important because youve got to score runs to win anyway. Middletons best opportunity to pull even came in the sixth inning when Simon led off with a single to left and moved to second on a wild pitch. But one out later Mike Brabender was in the midst of a 10-pitch at bat See HTL, page 14

when Heise picked Simon off second base. Brabender eventually drew a walk, but Dubler flew out to left field to end the threat. Heise, who retired nine of the last 10 batters to end the game, got a little breathing room when Ashton added an insurance run in the ninth inning. Garrett Novinski hit a leadoff single to left, moved to second on Peternells sacrifice and to third on Shane Adlers ground ball to short. Page then walked and Nick Maier

pinch ran to set up a double-steal attempt. On the second pitch to Gowan, Dubler was charged with a throwing error while attempting to throw out Maier at second base and Novinski scored for a 2-0 lead. Drew was dominant and Heise threw unbelievably. I was very impressed with the way that they played, Hellenbrand said of Ashton. They made all the plays defensively. We just couldnt get the clutch hit
that we needed. Page said Heise was able to locate his pitches well and keep Middletons hitters off-balance. We stuck with the fastball and threw in a few off-speed pitches to keep them on their toes. Joe worked his fast ball in and out and moved it around, said Page, a Madison East graduate who is playing in his first season in the HTL. Dave Adler said he also enjoyed watching Heise pitch a gem.
He doesnt overpower anybody but he moves the ball in and out, Adler said. He hits his spots. Black Earth 3, Cross Plains 2 The Bombers took over first place in the division after topping the host Businessmen. Bryce Barsness singled in pinch runner Shane Moyer in the top of the ninth inning with the eventual gamewinning run.

continued from page 18 Thanks to three days of fantastic baseball, Padelds wish came true. In the state title game, the Cardinals non-stop aggressiveness on the base paths led to eight Holmen errors. That, combined with key pitching performances from Mike Brabender and Ross Stiteley helped Middleton roll to an 114 win over the Vikings. Middleton nished the year 21-6, and after six previous trips to the state tournament, left with the rst championship in school history. Holmen, which entered the tournament ranked third in the state, nished the year 224. Like I told the kids before they went on the eld, dreams come true, Middleton rst year manager Tom Schmitt said. This is a dream and dreams come true. Those 18 kids have dreamed of that for years, Im sure, and Ive done it as a player. Now, to win this as a coach I guess that is nally my dream come true. To win a baseball championship in the state of Wisconsin where you have great baseball theres huge, huge satisfaction with that. The title game provided the Cardinals with nothing but satisfaction. And much of that came courtesy of Holmen mistakes. Schmitt managed with reckless abandon and gave his team the green light to run the bases at every opportunity. And for the most part, the strategy was golden as the Vikings execution looked more like a rerun of the Bad News Bears. We want to be aggressive on the bases and attack and we did that, Schmitt said. And its to our credit for doing that. I guess we had some opportunities present themselves and we took advantage of them. Did they ever. Brabender, who had thrown just 11 innings all year, drew the start because Tyler Fuhrman and Brandon DOrazio were out of innings. And after Brabender escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the rst inning, the Cardinal offense went to work. Brabender and shortstop Cole Cook opened the bottom of the rst inning with singles to put runners on the corners. Cook then tried stealing second and Brabender headed for home. Holmen second baseman Andy Hemker cut the ball off and red to the plate, but his throw was too high for catcher Scott Gerardy, allowing Brabender to score. Cook meanwhile, headed for third and Schmitts right arm never stopped. As soon as I sent him I said, Thats the stupidest call Ive made, Schmitt said. Instead, it worked to perfection. Holmen pitcher Adam Wersofen had picked up the wayward throw and beat Cook to the plate. But Cook dove head rst, knocked the ball out in the process, and gave the Cardinals a 2-0 lead. I saw (Schmitt) waving me and then I looked home and no one was there, Cook said. I just had to beat the pitcher there and the ball popping out denitely made it ofcial I was safe. By the end of the inning, Middleton led, 3-0, and the tone for the day was set. After Holmen scratched across a run in the fourth, the Cardinals were up to their old base-running tricks in the bottom of the fourth. Middleton loaded the bases with no outs, and Holmen reliever Trevor Fedie uncorked a wild pitch to score Bobby Butler, who had been courtesy running for David Bruns. Brabender then laid down a perfect squeeze bunt that plated Brandon DOrazio, and when all the Holmen inelders charged the play, no one was

covering second and Brabender took the base. The craziness seemed to rattle Fedie, who unleashed a wild pitch that scored Brian Statz, walked Cook on four pitches then allowed a run-scoring single to Tyler Fuhrman. By the time the craziness had subsided, Middleton had rm control of the game with a 7-1 lead. When we run this aggressively, it forces them to make the plays, Brabender said. And sometimes if theyre a little shaky and you put the pressure on them, they get ustered. That was obvious in the fth. Holmen had pulled within 7-2 and knocked Brabender from the game when Middleton erupted again. The Cardinals stroked three hits in the inning, but also beneted from four Vikings errors in the frame as they stretched their lead to 10-2. Again, though, Middleton put the pressure on to force the Viking miscues, like when Brabender singled down the line in right and Holmen rst baseman Joe Eberhardt was called for interference after thinking he was playing football. Or when Cook swiped second, and Gerardys throw went into center allowing Brabender to score from third. The way we play and run the bases
is a lot of fun, DOrazio said. It really puts a lot of pressure on the other team. Middleton did have one more pressure-packed situation to work out of before it could hoist the state championship trophy. Padeld, who had relieved Brabender in the fth, worked himself into a world of trouble in the sixth. There, Holmen scored a run to close within 10-3 and loaded the bases with no outs. Schmitt called on senior Ross Stiteley, who hadnt pitched in six weeks. But Stiteley got Gerardy, the Vikings leadoff hitter, to ground sharply to DOrazio at third. DOrazio stepped on third and red across to rst to complete the double play. Stiteley then got Dan Heintz to ground harmlessly to DOrazio again to escape an enormous jam. I was nervous when (Schmitt) told me to warm up, Stiteley said. But once I started to warm up, my arm felt really good. I was keeping the ball down, which I wasnt doing before. I was getting it up and giving up a lot of hits. And Brandon made two nice plays at third and got us out of what could have been a disastrous inning. That felt really good.
Not nearly as good as the Cardinals were feeling moments later, though. In the top of seventh, Stiteley retired the rst two batters, then got Kyle Rigazio to ground to Bobby Butler at second base. With his heart in his throat, Butler cleanly elded the ball, then threw out Rigazio at rst. I was a little nervous, but I made sure my body stayed in front of it, said Butler, who was in the game as a defensive replacement for Scott Brabender. All year I was always known to get in front of the ball and thats what I did. Its incredible. And it led to an incredible celebration. The Cardinals embraced for a few minutes on the eld, then were presented their gold medals. And afterwards, an escort into town from local police and re ofcials helped cap off the best year in the history of Middle-
ton baseball. I guess just one word can sum this up. Awesome! Cook said. I denitely will never forget something like this. Words cant even explain the feeling I have, Padeld added. This is just unbelievable.

the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association. Ledin finished the year with an 0.83 goals against average and posted nine shutouts. Ledin was huge in Middletons 1-0 win over Waunakee in the WIAA Division 1 sectional finals. Then in Middletons win over Oregon in the sectional finals, Ledin didnt allow a single goal in a shootout, helping the Cardinals reach the state tournament for the fourth time in school history. In my mind, Meghan Ledin was a no brainer, Duffy said. She has worked so hard. She deserves the recognition for that work. She was a big reason we were able to go to state this year. Kirkpatrick was a vital cog in Middletons lockdown defense, a unit that pitched 13 shutouts overall. Kirkpatrick also had four assists and one goal before suffering a broken arm in the sectional semifinals. Carly Kirkpatrick had a great season, Duffy said. She works harder than anyone that I know. We had a top-notch defense this year and she was a big part of that. Peterman was a dangerous scorer who finished second on the team in goals (nine), first in assists (six) and second in game-winning goals (three). Petermans 24 points also ranked second on the Cardinals. Leia Peterman was dangerous this year, Duffy said. Nowadays many kids are not capable or willing to take players on and take on that responsibility of taking them on. She does a great job of going at defenders and saying to herself and to the team, I got this. She has that mentality of I am going to beat you and she has the talent to get it done.

Middleton junior forward Ellen Jesse (13) was named first-team all-Big Eight Conference.
in 2013 and led Middleton in goals (14), points (28) and game-winning goals (five). Jesse possesses blistering speed, and opponents had a hard time matching up with her. Ellen Jesse is another one of those players that just took off this season, Duffy said. The offseason, club season hard work paid off for her this year. Until the last week of the regular season, she had scored in every single conference game. She worked the defense with her speed and with some of her deft moves to get the defense wrong footed. Sullivan moved to defense this season, a switch that paid immediate dividends. Sullivan was a force on defense, and also finished sixth on the team in goals (three) and points (10). Sully made the switch to defense this year and was instantly a force to be reckoned with, Duffy said. She reads the game so well and moves to get herself into great position to slow an attack, steal the ball or head it clear. She dominated the air for us defensively and was a great offensive threat moving forward or with her free kicks. McCauley was third on the team in points (15), fourth in goals (five) and fourth in assists (five). McCauley had a terrific postseason, highlighted by a sensational performance against Waunakee standout Jada Dayne. McCauley came on strong in the second half of the season, Duffy said. She is an athlete, and once she got her soccer legs back (from basketball season), she was able to not only distribute, but see the field. When it came down the nitty gritty of the postseason, McCauley was a key factor in our wins. She was a versatile player who we could play anywhere because she could read the
continued from page 12 game and had the skills to back it up. Shea finished fifth on the team in points (11) and had three game-winning goals. Shea came on strong the last weeks of the regular season and into postseason, Duffy said. In our last week of regular season, she had a goal in every single game. She was a very determined player this season and it paid off towards the end of the season. Keenan led the Cardinals in assists (seven) and had a brilliant goal in the state quarterfinals against Waukesha West. Keenan was also enormous in holding Middletons midfield together each game. I was disappointed she didnt get second team, Duffy said of Keenan. From her sophomore year to this season, she made some great improvements. She has great touch and vision and was an integral part of our offensive style, which was the best Middleton has produced in a long time. Her play helped make that so. I look forward to more of that from Caroline next season. Douglas was one of the areas top freshmen and blossomed after Duffy moved her to sweeper in early May. Douglas finished the year with three goals on headers off of corner kicks, six assists and has everyone in the program excited about what the next three years might bring. Douglas is one of the strongest freshmen in the league, Duffy said. Once we moved her to sweeper, our play settled down and we were able to find composure. She is composed herself, coachable and competitive. She will continue to anchor our back and clean up dangerous chances with the rest of our defense.

School district leadership changes course on schedule change in face of student opposition
by MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
Citing opposition from hundreds of students, the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District recently decided to scrap a significant change to next years Middleton High School schedule. Students who opposed an earlier decision to divide All School Resource
periods into smaller, more frequent chunks of time had planned to protest the change at the school board meeting of June 10. However, with the controversy quelled and the school reverting to its prior schedule for the 2013-2014 year, the meeting was instead an opportunity for superintendent Don Johnson to provide a recap for board of education members. Johnson said the school may con-
sider altering All School Resources periods in the future, but he pledged that it would do so with more input from parents and students. I really felt we could revisit this and take more time, he said. Johnson also addressed claims by students that high school leadership did a lackluster job communicating to students about its plans for the upcoming year. They certainly werent trying to not inform folks, he stated.
Just eight days earlier, hundreds of students signed on in support of a letter written by Adam Jordahl, who was wrapping up his junior year at MHS. Jordahl contended the decision to split those periods roughly in half would have caused an array of scheduling problems for students. He claimed the change would have allowed less productive time for pupils who need to use the periods to study, make up important tests, and do other classwork.
Students and parents took to the Internet to show their support for the concerns laid out by Jordahl, and his petition gained 609 signatures of support on the website change.org. Social media is a wonderful thing, Johnson told the school board with a chuckle: Sometimes its a daunting thing. Adopting a more serious tone, Johnson concluded: The good news is, I think we listened and heard.
