Sunflower Days at Pope Farm Conservancy in the Town of Middleton have been, as usual,
a dazzling visual feast for visitors from far and wide. While this years event was marred
slightly by the fact that families had to walk through a haze of pesticides being sprayed by a
neighbor during the event, it was nonetheless a joyous celebration of the conservancys ca-
pacity for splendor. Pictured from top to bottom: Phanuel Hammond smiles for the camera;

Development
is NOT good
for Middleton
The Stagecoach apartment
proposal on Century Ave is re-
questing a zoning change from
residential to PPD (Planned De-
velopment District). It would
allow a high density asphalt and
4-story structure with a 70%
footprint onto
1.18 acres. It is located across
from the Stamm House on the
hill going up Century Ave, a
high-volume undivided 4-lane
road. Just behind the existing
homes on these lots is an up-
land wooded area which would
be destroyed.
The Traffic Impact Analysis
(TIA) report was just re-
leased. It addressed Trip Gen-
eration Rates during peak
hours for the proposed develop-
ment. They considered the left
turn rate from Old Creek Rd but
failed to include the apartment
complex across the street, with
many cars also exiting at rush
hour. These would also impact
the (lack of) gaps in traffic for

Up Against the Wall
This is part 2 of a series on
the causes of the lack of afford-
able housing in the Madison
metro area. So, just how bad is
the housing affordability issue?
In Dane County the median
home price is $230,800,
whereas the median home price
in nearby counties is signifi-
cantly less; ranging from 24%
less in Columbia County to
46% less in Lafayette, with Jef-
ferson, Green, Iowa, Sauk, and
Dodge counties all fitting
within that range. In fact, you
can purchase a median priced
home in these counties for as
little as $124,000 or as high as
$175,300, much less than in
Dane County. Why is that?
First consider that the cost of
their parking lot. Delays will
force other choices and create
more traffic issues, like more
congestion at the Frank Lloyd
Wright/Donna Drive and Cen-
tury Ave. intersection.
Stagecoachs uncontrolled
private driveway will also in-
crease significant cross-walk
safety-hazards to pedestrians
and cyclists on Century Ave.
This block has a steep down-
ward grade to the east making it
difficult for bicyclists, skate-
boards, etc to safely stop as ve-
hicles cross the sidewalk. This
is also a high pedestrian area
with two Conservancy trails and
restaurants located on the block.
This high density develop-
ment would feed up to 70 more
vehicles into this part of Cen-
tury Ave. during rush hour, and
combined with vehicles exiting
from existing nearby apart-
ments, businesses and intersec-
tions would be dangerously
unacceptable.
Research shows collisions
and injuries are proportional to
traffic volumes and speeds over
25 MPH. Safety is important to
everyone. We ask that you op-
pose the zoning change to PDD
construction in these lesser
counties actually costs more;
thats right, more, due to less
competition in contractors. (I
know because I personally ex-
perienced that in three such
counties.) Likewise, apartment
rents are much less, from $635
to $775 in those counties vs.
Dane at $923. How can this
be? Since theres more supply
and more competition in Dane
County, shouldnt the pricing in
Dane be lower?
What are the factors that are
different in Dane County? An-
swer: Government regulations
and fees and land cost. Libs
would say land cost is higher in
Dane and therefore houses cost
more. Yes, thats correct, but
land cost is higher in Dane due
to development restrictions and
regulations and also govern-
ment fees. Having developed in

Protect our
historic
neighborhood
We join many other Middle-
ton residents in opposing the 4-
story, 48-unit apartment
building known as Stagecoach
Trail that Jacob Klein wants to
build on Century Ave. opposite
the Stamm house. Middleton is
over-reaching in the
number of apartment buildings
its constructing throughout the
city, and this building would be
especially inappropriate on this
site. Many people dont realize
that the amount of land avail-
able is only 1.18 acres, and this
building would put more than
twice as many units on that land
as city ordinances recommend.
other counties I can tell you that
the entitlement process and the
hassle factor are far easier to
deal with, and the fees and
costly studies that are required
are frequently non-existent.
Those areas also dont have the
enormously burdensome regu-
lations either, because they want
development.
Libs might argue that land
cost more here because of bid-
ding up by developers, but actu-
ally it costs more because of the
artificial scarcity created by
local governments, in particular
by Dane County. In spite of a
popular misperception, the fact
is that only 17% of Dane
County is available for develop-
ment (135,430 acres out of
792,655 acres) with typically
50% of any new land being de-
veloped reserved to be set aside
for open space, detention, and
(608) 497-4640 sbcpmyhome.com
Yeah, we can do that.
Secondly, the building would
be immediately adjacent to
Pheasant Branch Creek and the
southern entrance to the Con-
servancy, both of which would
suffer from storm water runoff,
24 hr. light pollution, and other
environmental damages. The
building would look completely
inappropriate in scale next to
existing 2-story residences, and
would not fit the character of
the designated Pheasant Branch
Historic District. Using similar
building materials would not be
enough to offset the excessive
height and overall size of the
proposed building.
Furthermore, Stagecoach
would make existing traffic
congestion worse. The alterna-
tives being considered for re-
ducing the traffic problems
include diverting traffic from
Old Creek Rd. to the intersec-
tion of Pheasant Branch Rd. and
Frank Lloyd Wright Ave., and
then to the intersection of Cen-
tury Ave. and Donna Dr. This
would create serious safety is-
sues for Kromrey middle school
students, who are already chal-
lenged when crossing Century
Ave. at the busiest times of
roads, which leaves little land
available for actual develop-
ment due to restrictions by local
governments and the regional
planning commission.
The resulting false scarcity of
land supply leads to higher
costs, and the heavy restrictions
placed on development also
leads to lower supply (which is
why the Wall Street Journal
ranked Madison as having the
lowest vacancy rate in apart-
ments in the U.S.), which in
turn leads to higher prices and
rents. And local government
fees here are some of the high-
est in the country, also forcing
up costs.
In fact, the scarcity situation
is so bad that there are now
pricing wars for homes that
have been recently listed. I have
heard multiple stories from re-
altors and sellers who listed

day. It would also make the in-
tersection of Pheasant Branch
Rd. and Frank Lloyd Wright
Ave. even more congested than
it already is, especially in the af-
ternoon when Middleton Hills
residents are picking up their
mail.
We sincerely hope that our
representatives in City govern-
ment will act to protect our his-
toric neighborhood and the
Conservancy, and to ensure the
safety of our streets, by denying
the request for rezoning that
would permit the construction
of this ill-conceived project.

On behalf of the Friends of
Pheasant Branch Conservancy
(FoPBC), I want to thank the
their homes for sale - who then
saw dozens at their open house;
received multiple offers, and
sold within days for more than
the asking price. Theres almost
no inventory of housing or
apartments available in greater
Madison.
And now statistics show that
90% of new households being
formed are renting instead of
the historic range of 40% to
60%. That means that the fun-
damental nature of our democ-
racy, home ownership, is being
stripped away by local govern-
ments that want more and more
fees and regulations - albeit all
in the name of protecting con-
sumers. Needless to say, what
do you think will happen when
an entire new generation is vir-
tually made up of all renters?
And who are paying outrageous
property taxes to the City of
Madison in particular? Youll
have a revolution on your
hands.

ever the latest trend is - local

Friends of Pheasant Branch
Conservancy,
Board Member
lated this next generation to a
life of rent-paying instead of
home ownership and equity
building. Thats great for hous-
ing providers (who are always
demonized as the bad guys), but
bad for democracy and capital-
ism.
Just in Middleton alone, al-
most $10,000 per lot was paid
in just third party costs - city at-
torney and third-party city engi-
neering on one phase at Bishops
Bay. The Realtors report that
$84,671 per home (nationally)
is strictly due to government
fees and regulations.
And now MMSD (sewerage
district) wants a 490% increase
in their fees, which if approved,
will serve to halt new develop-
ment, further restrict supply,
causing a massive increase in
housing prices and apartment
rents - including for existing
homes and apartments due to
the lack of new construction
that will result. And of course,
then local governments, after
restricting supply, will use that
excuse to jack up property tax
assessments just as the City of
Madison is doing now. So WE
ALL WILL PAY THE PRICE,
rest assured.
Not convinced? As a result
of Boulder, Colorado imposing
a growth boundary, the price of
the same home in Boulder is
now THREE TIMES that in
Denver.

Corporate hotel receives concept nod and TIF
THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 2017
by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
Hotel developer Cascade De-
velopment LLC last week re-
ceived concept approval from
the plan commission for a cor-
porate traveler hotel as well as
conceptual TIF funding up to
$645,000 for poor soil condi-
tions on Murphy Drive north of
Highway 14.
Cascade Development is
proposing a Holiday Inn Ex-
press and Suites with 106 rooms
and 114 parking stalls. The
hotel would be targeted to cor-
porate travelers, said Luke
Stauffacher, CEO at Cascade
Development.
City wants developing
a Historic Pheasant
Branch Crossing plan
The City is holding a public input session at the Plan Com-
mission meeting onTuesday, August 22 at 8 p.m.at Middle-
ton City Hall (7426 Hubbard Avenue). Please note that8
p.m.is the estimated start time for the public input session,
but it may be pushed later due to the agenda items before it.
The City of Middleton is con-
sidering a Historic Pheasant
Branch Crossing concept plan.
Pheasant Branch was an early
settlement in Middleton Town-
ship, but its location is now
within the City of Middleton.
The Pheasant Branch settle-
ment area contains some of the
oldest buildings in Dane
County, including the historic
Stamm House, which was built
in 1847 and has served as a
store, a post office, and possibly
even a station on the Under-
ground Railroad offering
refuge to former slaves seeking
freedom in the North.
The Middleton Area Histori-
cal Society has a document on
their website that contains addi-
tional information about the
Pheasant Branch Settlement,
and other historic buildings in
the area.
The City of Middleton said in
a statement last week it is em-
bracing the opportunity to cele-
brate these historic structures
and their location proximate to
the Pheasant Branch Creek,
trails, and Conservancy; high-
lighting their history and archi-
tecture as key ingredients of the
districts unique flavor; and
thoughtfully repurposing these
structures to draw new activity
and investment to an attractive,
pedestrian-oriented district.
Going forward, the concept
plan can also serve as a guide-
line as decisions are made re-

a sales call to a hospital, Stauf-
facher said. They would need
a really nice place to stay, a fit-
ness center, but then also would
be eating out at the Monks or
the Ruth Chris.
Stauffacher said the hotel
would be a limited service; a
more full service experience
would still be the Marriot.
Down the street you guys

service restaurant, catering, the

The Middleton Public Library will welcome 2017-2018 Wis-

consin Poet Laureate Karla Huston (above) on Thursday, Sep-
tember 7, for a poetry reading and book signing. Huston is the
author of eight chapbooks of poems, the latest entitled Grief
Bone, (Five Oaks Press), as well as a full collection, A Theory
of Lipstick (Main Street Rag Publications). Hustons work has
garnered numerous awards, including a Pushcart Prize for the
poem Theory of Lipstick. She received an Outstanding
Achievement Award from the Wisconsin Library Association
for her collection of the same title.
A resident of Appleton, Wisconsin, Huston writes poetry
rooted in the stories people tellthose memories and percep-
tions, personal and cultural mythologies which define us as
human. From ancient Greek gods to Hollywood movie stars,
Hustons poems explore a wide variety of subjects, but fre-
quently return to topics related to aging and women. She is also
a strong supporter of poetry reading and writing as part of var-
ious statewide Memory Caf projects. This ground-breaking
program brings together people who suffer from mild memory
loss and dementia, along with their caregivers, to celebrate and
collaborate in creativity and storytelling.
This special event will start at 7 p.m. in the Archer Room on
the Librarys lower level. Copies of Ms. Hustons books will be
available for purchase and the evening will conclude with a
book signing. Registration is appreciated, online at midli-
brary.org/events or by email at info@midlibrary.org.

bilities.
As both a mother and a
teacher, she always strived to
find ways of getting things
done both in the classroom and
at home. As she honed those
skills, she was approached by
more and more parents who all
asked the same question: How
do you make it seem so effort-
less?
The answer is nuanced, but
surprisingly simple. She created
authentic reinforcement and
tried to avoid bribing. She es-
tablished a system that was de-
signed to help kids from
prechool through high school
to succeed. Those skills will
stay with them, she believes, for
life.
Its a lifestyle thing, she
explains. It sets you up for suc-
cess with life.
Once you have all the
must-do things done, you have
so much more freedom, she
says. Its the exact opposite of
a rigid life. You have to be flex-
ible.
After retiring from her job
with the Middleton-Cross
Plains Area School District last
year, she has now published her
first book, The Freedom of

holds the key to mastering rou-

childhood was happy and full:
Scouts, competitive concert and

Adventures in Iceland!
THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 2017
Middleton residents go where the sun never sets
Peggy and Duane Marxen (above right) recently returned from a 10-day trip to the Nordic island nation of Iceland. The sun never fully set during their time there.
by DEB BIECHLER
Times-Tribune
When asked, Why a trip to
Iceland, Peggy Marxen
replied, Maybe its my Viking
blood. I always seem to head
North in my travels.
Both Peggy and Duane
Marxen have Norwegian her-
itage. They traveled to Norway
several years ago, and consid-
ered stopping in Reykjavik on
the way. The opportunity was
offered by their carrier, Ice-
landic Air.
But it wasnt until Duanes
alma mater, UW-Madison of-
fered a ten day trip to the Nordic
island nation, that the Marxens
finally landed there.
Twenty-three other travelers
joined them on the Van Gelder
bus from Madison to Chicago
and then boarded the six hour
direct flight from OHare to
Reykjavik. Although it was a
night flight, darkness was a
short-lived phenomena. From
May 20-30, during the time of
their Icelandic adventure, the
sun never fully set.
For the first three days, the
travelers headquartered in Bor-
garnes, the easiest city name to

pronounce, of all the places they
visited in Iceland.
Dont even try to say some
of the names, warned Peggy as
I studied the map with them.
That suited me just fine, as
their first real taste of Icelands
raw beauty was an excursion to
Deildartunguhver, the site of the
countrys largest thermal spring.
The spring is Europes most
powerful hot spring, providing
47 gallons of boiling water per
second.
Most of the water used for
central heating in the towns of
Borgarnes and Akranes is taken
from Deildartunguhver. The hot
water pipeline to Akranes is ap-
proximately 40 miles long, the
longest in Iceland. The water is
about 172 degrees when it
reaches Akranes. When the
Marxens showered at their
hotel, they were using water
from that spring.
Water ran both hot and cold
on the first day of their trip.
Their tour included cold spring
waters in the form of Hraunfos-
sar Falls. The cold springs flow
up through the lava landscape,
finally cascading into the
Hvita River.
Ten percent of Iceland is cov-
ered by glaciers, some of them
6,000 feet high.
They dont calve, Duane
informed me. Calving is the
process of glacial ice breaking
off and falling into water. Ice-
lands dont do that.
MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE
Although Iceland is pur-
ported to have the most fresh
water in the world, much of
their food comes from the salty
seas around the island nation.
On the third day of the trip, the
Marxens had the chance to taste
shark at the home of a local
farmer who traditionally
processes the former Viking
delicacy.
The Marxens account of that
processing helped me to un-
derstand why shark is listed as
a former delicacy. The gut
side of the shark is laid in sand
for 6-12 weeks. The length of
time varies depending on the
source. It is weighted down by
rocks or more sand. This
process rids the shark meat of
toxic fluids, that include its
urea.
On their way to Akureyri,
Icelands capital of the north re-
gion, and their headquarters for
the next three days, the Marxens
got acquainted with Icelandic
horses. These unique animals
have been bred, only with other
Icelandic horses since first
brought by the Vikings in 800
CE. No horses are allowed into
Iceland, although many are ex-
ported.
Among other characteristics,
the five gaits of Icelandic horses
set these animals apart from
other breeds. The Marxens wit-
nessed an Icelandic horse run-
ning at full speed, while the
rider extended his arm holding
a full glass of beer. Not a drop
was spilled during the full gal-
lop around the ring.
The population of Icelandic
horses is greater than the coun-
trys population of people.
There are approximately
330,000 citizens in the whole
country. 180,000 of them live
in or around the capital city.
Birds abound in the northern
region. Summer bird residents
include puffins, Arctic tern and
skua, Long-tailed and Eider
ducks, Purple sandpipers and
cormorants. Day Five of the
trip included a Puffin Island
bird cruise, where the tour par-
ticipants experienced the thriv-
ing bird refuge.
In addition to having the
most fresh water reserves in the
world, 100 percent of the en-
ergy is considered clean en-
ergy. 30 percent of the
electricity comes from geo-ther-
mal sources, while the other 70
percent is hydraulic.
Steam rises everywhere,
Duane said. Its forced into
stainless steel pipes, losing very
little temperature in the process.
The pipes run directly into
homes. The heat is so cheap its
almost free. But then a single
hamburger costs $25.
One resident told the Marx-
ens that it is common to wear
shorts in the house during the
winter.
Houses have little insulation
and no chimneys.
Theres barely any wood in
Iceland. The island was
stripped of trees long ago so
theres nothing to burn. Drift-
wood is a precious commodity.
There are some birch trees on
the island.
But, the birch trees are so
short and gnarly, that the joke in
Iceland is, What do you do if
youre lost in the forest?
The answer, Stand up!
Most citizens own electric
cars. While theres no discount
incentive to buy the car in the
first place, all the charging sta-
tions are free, once you have the
vehicle.
The inexpensive power has
been an incentive to build alu-
minum plants in Iceland. It is
cheaper to ship the bauxite from
Australia, the worlds biggest
bauxite producer, than to build
and run the plants there. Alcoa
and Century, two U.S. compa-
nies have plants in Iceland.
Hot water is also used to
grow food. Cucumbers, toma-
toes and peppers, as well as
arugula are grown with hydro-
ponics.
The soil, mostly lava is the
lightest soil found almost any-
where in the world. Some root
crops thrive in that soil and
short growing season. They
thrive partly because of the long
daylight hours of an Icelandic
summer.
Sheep abound, providing
wool and meat. There are a few
dairy farms as well. The cows,
like the horses, were brought by
the Vikings. Also like the
horses, these cows, are smaller
and more sturdy than other
breeds.
Crops, livestock and alu-
minum provides a portion of
Icelands economic basis. But,
tourism, by far, creates the most
jobs.
In addition to the hot springs
and glaciers that give the

moniker, Land of Fire and
Ice, tourists throng to
Thingvellir National Park, now
a world UNESCO site.
Pieces of history and geology
make Thinkgvellir a global des-
tination. According to the
Marxens trip itinerary, pro-
duced by Odysseys Unlimited,
the park is revered for its his-
torical importance - this is
where Icelands Althing, or na-
tional assembly, met in open-air
sessions from 930 CE to 1798.
It also sits on an active volcanic
site at the spot where the fissure
between the geological plates of
North American and Europe is
most evident.
While you cant actually
stand with one foot on each
plate at the same time, it is a
rare thing to walk the space be-
tween them. Most plates line up
below the oceans or deep under-
ground. Walkways, at
Thingvellir, stretch between the
plates that are very slowly, drift-
ing apart.
Even though Iceland is home
to rare sights and phenomena,
city-life keeps abreast with the
modern world. While in Reyk-
javik, Marxens were privy to a
Costco opening. Although it is
not the biggest Costco in Eu-
rope, its opening event was pur-
ported to be the largest in the
continent.
46,000 people signed up in
the first day. Thats roughly a
quarter of the entire population
in the Reykjavik area. Four
days later, a long line of people
were still waiting to become
members.
If youre considering a trip to
Iceland, Duane advises to be
aware that the very popular
Golden Circle Tour covers re-
ally interesting territory, but
doesnt go to the stunningly
beautiful north and northwest
portions of the country.

Hardships often prepare

This quote from Lewis, the
great British novelist, came
nearly 100 years ago.
Its certainly applicable
today, though, for Middletons
football team.
The Cardinals open up their
new season Friday when they
host Madison Memorial at 7
p.m. And Middleton which
has lost four potential starters to
season-ending injuries this sum-
mer has certainly been hit
with its share of hardships.
Now, the Cardinals must find
out if they can overcome the
adversity and reach an extraor-
dinary destiny.
Well, were going to find
out what were made of,
Middleton head coach Tim
Simon said.
Since practice began two
weeks ago, the Cardinals have
lost Jarrett Horst (foot), their
best offensive lineman, and
Brogan Brunker (broken hand),
their best wide receiver. Horst
could return late in the year,
while Brunkers long-term sta-
tus is uncertain.
In addition, projected start-
ing right guard Dylan Kalscheur
and likely starting tight end
Max Schlicht who both suf-
fered torn ACLs since mid-July
are out for the season.
Middleton senior wideout Brogan Brunker suffered broken bones in his hand during the Cardinals scrimmage last week.
Middleton was tabbed as the
Big Eight Conference favorite
by many before losing several
of its key cogs. Without them,
Simon & Co. know things will
be a lot harder.
No ones going to feel sorry
for us, Simon said. Weve still
got to find a way to win games.
Middleton still has plenty of
weapons to be a force in the Big
Eight this fall.
Offensively, the Cardinals

For the Times-Tribune
The Middleton 29ers last
lost a game five weeks ago.
With each passing week, its
more obvious that the loss in
early July is a distant memory
and may have served as a reali-
ty check as the 29ers prepared
for the playoffs.
Whatever happened, every
opponent since has had to pay
for it since.
Middleton continued its
recent dominance on Sunday,
beating visiting Black Earth,
16-2, in a Northern Section
semifinal game of the Home
Talent League playoffs.
Middleton has outscored its
opponents, 74-13, since its last
loss and now advances to the
Northern Section
Championship game, where it
will host third-seeded

In a moment bigger than the
outcome of the game, Black
Earth pitcher Rob Capener
received a standing ovation
from players and fans as he was
removed from the game by
Duhr during the sixth inning.
Capener has been battling on
and off the diamond all season,

On the field, Capener has
been a valuable player for the
Bombers, finishing the regular
season batting .273 and pitch-
ing in countless situations.
On Sunday, Capener started
at shortstop, going 1-for-3 and
tossing 2 1/3 innings of relief.
But baseball isnt just statistics.
It was pretty special,
recalled Capener of receiving
the standing ovation. Glad I
got a chance to pitch a little,
too. (Duhr) told me before that
inning, he said hed really like
to pull me out middle of the
inning and just try to get a

Rob Capener was the hero

Thats what were going to

(Capener) being the hero in that
game.
Capener remained humble,
directing the praise to his team-
mates.
It wasnt just me. Many
guys pitched in and made great
plays, Capener said. I just
came up in a couple of good sit-
uations, and I came through.
Capener, in his 18th season
playing Home Talent baseball
and 13th in Black Earth, is the
embodiment of an HTL veteran
and is a well-known player
league-wide. All season long,
there has been an outpouring of
support for Capener and his
family from the entire Home
Talent League.
Robs been in this league as
long as I can remember. I have
the utmost respect for him. I
cant even imagine what hes
going through every single day
in his life, Hellenbrand said.
He knows that not just
Middleton, but the whole
league has his back, and theyre
going to fight right there with
him. Weve talked about it as a
team, that theres more to base-
ball. Its life.
For Duhr and the Bombers,
having Capener suit up has
been a motivator.
The inspiration, the way he
got our guys to play hard with

Middleton golfers
off to impressive start
PAGE 16
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
They are young and inex-
perienced, but definitely gift-
ed.
And by the time the post-
season rolls around in
September and October,
Middletons girls golf team
could be awfully formidable.
The Cardinals began their
journey last week, finishing
second at the Verona Invite
held at Edelweiss and seventh
at the Madison Edgewood
Invite held at Yahara Hills.
Im happy with the start
so far and Im excited to see
how we improve throughout
the season, Middleton coach
Becky Halverson said.
Rain interrupted the Verona
Invite, and because some
golfers didnt finish their
rounds, each player only
counted 15 holes in the team
scoring.
Milton won the 13-team
tournament with a 275.
Middleton was second at 283,
while Verona (307),
Waunakee (316) and Madison
Edgewood (318) rounded out
the top five.
Middleton senior and
Valparaiso recruit Payton
Hodson did finish her round
and carded a 77, while sopho-
more Kate Meier also finished
and shot 81. Grace Peterson,
Allison Richards and Danielle
Callahan all newcomers to
the varsity lineup were still
on the course when the event
was stopped.
It was a good experience
for Grace Peterson, Allison
Richards and Danielle
Callahan to get into the varsi-
ty lineup, Halverson said.
MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE
Middleton then finished
seventh at the 22-team
Madison Edgewood/WPGA
Invitational held at Yahara
Hills.
Milton won the event with
a 319, while the Cardinals
carded a 341.
Hodson led Middleton with
a 76, while Meier shot an 83.
Peterson fired an 87 and Bryn
Jens shot a 95.
Halverson has yet to settle
on a lineup and might not
do so until later this month. So
for now, shes going to give
several of her newcomers a
chance to win a job.
We are going to be rotat-
ing through our lineup quite a
bit here at the beginning of the
season to get everyone some
experience at the varsity
level, Halverson said.
On deck: Middleton was
at the Homestead/Brookfield
THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 2017
Central Invite Monday and
Tuesday. The Cardinals then
host Madison Memorial and
Madison La Follette in a trian-
gular at Pleasant View Golf
Course Thursday at 8 a.m.
I am bringing all seven
girls in the mix, Halverson
said of the
Homestead/Brookfield
Central Invite. It should be
not only good experience for
all these girls, but also fun
team bonding for them as
well.
