Did tensions between

‘Friends’ group and
town cause Sunflower
Days to be called off?
BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON-Friction be-
tween the town of Middleton
and the Friends of Pope Farm
Conservancy [FOPFC] may
have been a factor in the sud-
den cancellation this month of
the increasingly popular Sun-
flower Days, according to town
officials.
On short notice, the FOP-
FC cancelled the annual Au-
gust event where nine acres of
blooming sunflowers are on
public display. The FOPFC cit-
ed safety concerns as the antic-
ipated crowd size could not be
accommodated in the limited
parking available at the conver-
sancy on Old Sauk Rd.
Parking off site and walk-
ing along two-lane Old Sauk
Rd. would create a “potential
safety issue for thousands of
people,” according the FOPFC
announcement.
However, discussion at
Monday’s town board meeting
indicated that relations between
the town and the FOPFC have
soured and only the attorneys
for the parties are talking to
each other, said town chair
Cynthia Richson.

MOM’s Canstruction competition is underway

MADISON–Community mem-
bers are invited to attend the Eigth
Annual Canstruction Madison event
began April 24 at West Towne Mall.
Hosted by Middleton Outreach Minis-
try (MOM), 17 teams from businesses,
churches, schools and organizations
around Dane County are building
giant structures made of canned goods
and packaged food and are competing
for awards with a primary goal to help
End Hunger in our community. This
year’s theme is Rock “CAN” Roll.
After the week-long event, all food
is donated to the MOM Food Pantry,
one of the largest food pantries in the
area, serving West Madison, Middle-
ton and Cross Plains.
The Canstruction Madison build day
took place on April 23 throughout the
mall. Following the build, mall goers
and event attendees will vote for their
favorite canned goods structure from
April 24-29 through Facebook and In-
stagram, via text, or in-person at West
Towne Mall. The “People’s Choice”
award, as well as other honors includ-
ing “Most Nutritious” and “Structural
Ingenuity,” will be given at the awards
ceremony on April 29 at 6:30 p.m. in
the mall Food Court, featuring emcee
Amy Carlson, NBC15.
“This is our church’s second year
participating in Canstruction Mad-
ison,” said Todd Smith, member of
West Middleton Lutheran Church, and
MOM Board President. “We built the
TiCanic last year and it was one of the
highlights for our church year, and the
youth group is really excited about our
involvement this year as well. From
designing the structure to coming to-
gether to build it, we love that we are
having fun together and fulfilling our
mission of helping others at the same
time.” This year, West Middleton
Church is building a Yellow Subma-
rine out of yellow cans of Hominy, a
food that is frequently requested at the
food pantry. The structure will include
nearly 4,000 cans.
“Canstruction not only brings
friends and colleagues together to
give back while team building, it is
an opportunity for the community
to see how the competition works to
benefit those in need. Each can is food
for families and another step towards
ending hunger,” says Ellen Carlson,
MOM Executive Director. “We love
that the event draws awareness to the
great need for our community to come
together around the issue of hunger.
It’s also fun to see all of these caring
community members and businesses
having so much fun doing something
so important. This food carries our
food pantry through the summer.”
Teams such as Affiliated Engineers,
Inc. (AEI), are vying for specific
awards. AEI is built the Rock & Roll
Cans of Fame and is vying for “Most
Cans,” and Exact Sciences, who has
won many different awards over the
years, is again creating photo mosaics.
In 2016, Exact Sciences was the run-
ner-up in the International Canstruc-
tion Competition for their Best Use of
Labels for a similar mosaic structure.
The following teams competed in
this year’s event: Lutheran Church of
the Living Christ, Middleton Youth
Center and Mead & Hunt, Springs
Window Fashions, UW Health Ad-
vanced Practice Providers, Flad Ar-
chitects, Blackhawk Church, Exact
Sciences, Middleton High School
in partnership with Willy St. Coop,
Strand Associates, Inc., Fiskars Brand,
Inc., Qualtim, Affiliated Engineers,
Inc., The Sylvee/High Noon Saloon/
The Majestic & Strang Inc., West
Middleton Lutheran Church, Network
Engineering Technologies, JMM
Sparcans andAsbury United Method-
ist Church.
Canstruction Madison competitions
have raised over 150 tons of food over
the past seven years.
The community is also invited to
participate by buying a “Can of Hope”.
For $10, a red can with the donors
name will be added to MOM’s giant
heart structure, titled “All You Need
is Love”, continuing on the Beatle’s
theme. Cans can be purchased at can-
sofhope.momhelps.org.

ATC/Dairyland Power file application

BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON-Construction
of a third high-voltage power
line to terminate at electrical
substation in the town of Mid-
dleton was formally requested
last week by American Trans-
mission Co. and its partners
ITC Midwest and Dairyland
Power Co.
In a voluminous filing with
the Public Service Commis-
sion, ATC proposes that the
Cardinal-Hickory Creek pow-
er line would bring lower-cost
wind energy into the state and
reduce congestion on the trans-
mission grid.
The 345-kilovolt line would
tap the production of wind
farms west of Wisconsin whose
output would power 400,000
homes which otherwise would
require burning 1.2 million tons
of coal and consume 757 mil-
lion gallons of water annually,
according to ATC.
About 95 percent of the pro-
posed Cardinal-Hickory Creek
line would follow existing util-
ity and highway corridors be-
tween Dubuque County, Iowa
and the Cardinal substation
located along US 14 near Twin
Valley Rd.
In Dane County, area offi-
cials asked ATC to minimize
the impact the power line
would have on the Sunnyside
Unit of the Black Earth Wild-
life Area, by extending the line
along the south side of US 14.
ATC spokesperson Kaya
Freiman said one routing option
extends the power line south
of the highway near Cleve-
land Road and then east to the
substation. A 69-kilovolt line
currently in the wildlife area
would be removed and placed
on the same structures as Car-
dinal-Hickory Creek line.
Another option routes the
line through the wildlife area
on the north side of US 14,
crosses the highway east of
Twin Valley Road and contin-
ues to the substation.
Overall, the line builder’s
preferred route would cross the
Wisconsin River at Cassville,
extend northeast to Lancaster,
Montfort, along US 18 to north
of Dodgeville, to Blue Mounds,
Mount Horeb, then north to just
south of the village of Cross
Plains before turning east to US
14 and Cardinal substation.
An alternative route would
be longer and more expensive
to construct.
A list of local governments
that have gone on record
against the line include the

Dane County Board of Super-
visors, the village of Mount
Horeb and the town of Spring-
dale; while towns in Iowa and
Grant counties have asked the
PSC to study alternatives to
building the line.
Opponents of the project
say it is not needed for several
key reasons. They claim there
will be only a slight increased
future demand for electricity.
They say at an estimated cost
of at least $492 million it’s too
expensive. They also say the
150-foot-or-taller transmission
structures would mar the beau-
ty of the state’s Driftless Area.
In 2016, the PSC projected
electric use in the state would
grow by 0.5 to 1.6 percent an-
nually during the next four
years, insufficient demand for
a project of this expense, oppo-
nents have said.
The number of transmission
lines built in the state have

helped push electric rates in
the state from the 13th highest
in the nation and second high-
est in the Midwest, according
to the U.S. Energy Information
Administration.
The Cardinal-Hickory
Creek line would join the Bad-
ger-Coulee line now under
construction between the La
Crosse area and the Cardinal
substation. It is expected to go
into service late this year.
The West-Middleton-Rock-
dale line was built along the
Beltline Highway connecting
the Cardinal substation and a
substation near Cambridge, and
went into service on 2010.
ATC’s Freiman said there
will be demand for more power
in the future and the state’s ex-
isting transmission grid should
be upgraded to increase its effi-
ciency and to access lower-cost
wind energy.
“The need for and benefits of
this project are built upon years
of study efforts aimed at im-
proving electric system reliabil-
ity locally and regionally, de-
livering economic benefits for
utilities and electric consumers,
and expanding infrastructure
to support public policy for
greater use of renewables,” she
wrote Monday in response to a
reporter’s questions.
Wisconsin residents would
only pay in their electric bills
for the portion of the line built
within the state would has an
estimated cost of $66 to $72
million, said Freiman.
The Citizens Utility Board
seeks intervener status with
the PSC on the project as well
renewable energy advocates,
Clean Wisconsin.
The PSC has six months to
review and take action on the
proposal and can see another
six month extension. An En-
vironmental Impact Study is
underway the U.S. Department
of Agriculture and other federal
state agencies will review and
comment on the project during
the review period, which, in-
cludes at least one public hear-
ing.
If approved the line would go
into service in 2023.

High school students hold walk-in
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–Roughly
100 students gathered on the
frosty morning of April 20 at
the south entrance of Middle-
ton High School (MHS) to take
part in a walk in and to pledge
to help end gun violence in
schools. The date marked the
19th anniversary of what has
been deemed the first modern
day school shooting in Colum-
bine, CO.
English teacher Jill Larson
said the before school event
was planned to be a positive
day, uniting the community in
remembrance as well as to keep
moving forward. “We wanted
to move to bring awareness to
gun violence and make sure
school safety is at the forefront
of everyone’s minds,” she ex-
plained.
Allison Madison, who
teaches science at MHS, added,
“In March, students organized
a walk out. A walk-in before
school allowed for students
and staff to participate without
missing more class time; this,
in addition to the combination
of music and speakers allowed
for greater inclusion. We had
students and staff from both the
high school and Clark Street
Community School.”
The event began with gov-
ernment and International af-
fairs teacher Janel Anderson
taking the podium first. She said
the country may be shocked
when there is a school shooting,
but teachers are not shocked.
“We are not shocked because
we know better. We know the
face of an angry teen,” she said.
Jill Gurtner, principal at
Clark Street Community
School briefly addressed the
group, then sang two songs, one
of which composed.
Next up was English teacher
Ben McCormick, who started
by saying, “I love gun owners
and I love gun protesters.”
He went on to say that he had
some preconceived notions as a
high school student. “I used to
think racism was an excuse and
that people were poor because
of bad choices,” he stated, and
added that it was the sustained
love of his teachers that helped
him see he was wrong. “With-
out that sustained love, I would
not be the ally before you today.
The last speaker of the morn-
ing was sophomore and student
activist, Ella Roach, “Why is
your right to own a gun more
important than my right to be
safe?” she asked.
Roach went on to talk about
how society has defined femi-
nism and taught girls how to be
women, but she added, “We are
forgetting to teach boys what it
is to be a man.”
She then questioned why
our society is so violent and
apathetic, and said she doesn’t
want victims of school shooting
to be, “another number washed
away in the media.”
Madison, who also orga-
nized the walk-in said students
are speaking out from neces-
sity, “The frequency of school
shootings and public massacres
is alarming, and many students
are outraged that adults across
the nation continue to do so lit-
tle to address gun violence. Stu-
dents are increasingly aware of
their voice and power as a col-
lective. The rise of the Internet
and social media have enabled
students to organize and em-
powered them in a way that
wasn’t possible 19 years ago.”
The walk-in ended just a few
minutes before class, with stu-
dents linking arms in solidarity
and walking into the school.

Tension continued from page 1

pressed interest in 15 acres ad-
jacent to the conservancy cur-
rently occupied by a member
of the Pope family. However,
the FOPFC could no longer use
events like Sunflower Days to
raise money toward the proper-
ty’s purchase, Richson said.
Earlier this year, the FOPFC
brought to the board the idea
charging an admission to Sun-
flower Days. Since the town
bought the 105-acre property
from the Pope family using
town, state and Dane County
funds, fund raisers on the prop-
erty are subject to Department
of Natural Resources regula-
tions.
The town found out from
the DNR that it should have
an operating agreement with
the FOPFC for activities at the
conservancy. Also, net pro-
ceeds from fund raisers need
to be held in a town-controlled
bank account and be used only
for the conservancy’s needs.
Two days after the town
sent the FOPFC a draft oper-
ating agreement, the FOPFC
announced the cancellation of
Sunflower Days 2018.
The town received no imme-
diate feedback from the FOP-
FC on the draft agreement oth-
er than, “if it’s not broke, don’t
fix it,” said Board Supervisor
Paul Connell.
No members of the FOPFC
Board of Directors attended
Monday night’s town board
meeting, and a call to Mel
Pope, chairman of the FOP-
FC board, was not returned by
deadline.
Board discussion turned
to seeking DNR approval to
charge a $5 admission and
holding Sunflower Days with
or without the FOPFC’s help.
“Sunflower Days put the
town on the map, it must be
held,” said board supervisor
Brent Renteria.
The DNR advised that the
town had hire the FOPFC as
concessioners for the 10-day
event or, hire other to stage the
event which last year drew an
estimated 92,000 people.
Connell was dismayed over
Pope’s “manic obsession,” over
parking while other outdoor
events find a way to accommo-
date parking problems.
“If it’s not my way, it’s not
Sunflower Days,” was the atti-
tude Connell attributed to Pope.
Connell added that it might
be time for the town to take
over the event and pursue
off-premise parking. Parking
lots at the town hall and West
Middleton Elementary School
with shuttle service were sug-
gested.
Last year, the FOPFC staff
the Sunflower Days with about
100 volunteers and spent
$7,132 on expenses. The town
contributed the services of its
Park Rangers for 88 hours.
Board Supervisor Richard
Oberle suggested using room
tax revenue the town collects to
fund event expenses.
The town’s Park Commis-
sion has discussed managing
Sunflower Days but it lacks a
plan at this point, said commis-
sion chair Mary Hoferle.
“I don’t want the job,” she
said.
Horst Gierke, a resident, ad-
vised the town not to take on
the event as it’s not prepared
for it, the roads are inadequate
and there are liability issues.
“We don’t need the recogni-
tion,” he said.
Carol Schiller, a resident,
suggested a poll to see if town
residents favor keeping the
event and how it should be
managed.
Park Commission member
Tony Praza said he understood
that the FOPFC would manage
Sunflower Days if parking and
safety issues were resolved.
The board table further dis-
cussion to their May 7 meeting.
The Park Commission will dis-
cuss it on May 14.

All Manner
of Things
First Lady
of my
Heart
My mother fell in love with
movies and the big screen as a
girl growing up in Kaukauna,
Wisconsin.
When I was young, she told
me how she would lay out her
father’s clothing for the morn-
ing, making it one step eas-
ier for him to dress and go to
work. His jobs were not steady,
but when he had one, he’d often
drop a dime into her shoe as a
thank you for her efforts.
by Deb Biechler
The dime was always spent
on a matinee. In 1929, her
11th year, the Vaudette theater
in Kaukauna showed its first
“talkie.” The dime only got her
into the movie. Nothing was
left for popcorn.
By 1930, her father left
home, and my mother left
school. At age 12 she stayed
home and kept house. That
way, my grandmother could
teach sewing at the vocational
school and work as a seam-
stress from home, providing for
herself and the six children left
behind.
Little Women was one of
my favorite stories when I was
a girl. I loved to write so of
course I identified with Jo.
The character Beth, who the
March family referred to as
their “cricket by the hearth,”
much preferred to be at home
rather than out in the over-
whelming world or at school.
That was true of my mother
as well.
Like Beth, my mother was a
very humble woman. She never
took credit for the impact that
her role in the family had. Be-
cause of her, the rest of her sib-
lings could give their attention
to school. All five of the others
graduated from high school in
the post-depression, pre-WWII
era.
Even though the family was
poor, the children were lavished
with names rich in history and
poetry. My mother’s name was
LaBelle Liberty. In my child’s
mind, I always connected the
Statue of Liberty to her and
dreamt of traveling East to see
it.
My childhood dreams be-
came a reality when I retired
from 30 years of teaching kin-
dergarten. Instead of heading
to the classroom the following
fall, I headed to France. There,
I house and garden-sat from
September to April, in Upper
Bormes Les Mimosa, a village
rife with history and beauty, on

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Akins
‘astonished’
by ATC’s
‘misleading’
letter to
the editor
I was astonished at the
misleading nature of the let-
ter to the editor by Gregory
Levesque, Director of Envi-
ronmental & Local Relations
at American Transmission
Company (ATC), that was
published in the Times-Tri-
bune about a month ago. I
want to set the record straight.
The demand for energy in
Wisconsin has remained steady
or has dropped during the past
decade according to Madi-
son Gas & Electric and Wis-
consin Power & Light, even
though both utilities’ customer
bases has increased by ap-
proximately 11,000 additional
customers. They have already
approved new wind and gas
projects that will add energy
and more local jobs in Wis-
consin. ATC is claiming that
more is needed from outside
Wisconsin but has not shown
any independent report nor re-
search that proves their claim.
Moving electricity long dis-
tances from where it is gener-
ated to where it is needed has
been shown to be highly inef-
ficient because so much elec-
tricity is lost over the distance
transmitted. Local resources
can provide much better effi-
ciency. Levesque also claimed
that the gigantic ATC power
transmission lines will be
more reliable. However, these
conglomerate grid lines have
been shown to be much more
vulnerable to cyberattacks than
power which has a local source.
This should be a big concern
for utility customers with util-
ity grid hacking on the rise as
stated in recent news reports.
ATC claims that these mon-
strous towers will provide Wis-
consin residents with low-cost
power. This is also not true.
Wisconsin residents are already
paying among the highest rates
in our nation. The ATC power
line will only increase that
expense to consumers. This
is because of the high cost of
building the infrastructure for
this project, which Wisconsin
residents will be paying off for
many years to come. So, who
benefits from building these
monstrosities? ATC that’s
who. The company gets a
guaranteed 10.2 percent return
on investment in this project as
set by the Federal Energy Reg-
ulatory Commission. In fact,
building new infrastructure is
how they make most of their in-
come while putting the burden
of the expense onto consumers.
In the coming months, proj-
ect developers American Trans-
mission Company, Dairyland
Power Cooperative and ITC
Midwest will finalize applica-
tions to Iowa and Wisconsin
regulators for permission to
build the line. Citizens of Dane
County and several other ef-
fected counties have organized
to let our public officials know
the detrimental impact that this
proposed project is already
having on our local personal
and economic well-being. The
so-called “Public Service”
Commission, a group of people
appointed by the Walker admin-
istration, is not inclined to look
more deeply into the cost bene-
fits and environmental impacts
of this project. I leave it to you
to consider the reasons for that.
Our changing Wisconsin en-
ergy landscape requires a well
thought out and thoroughly
researched look into all possi-
bilities for energy efficiency,
environmental considerations,
and the long-term health and
economic well-being of Wis-
consin communities. Why is
this project about to be rushed
through the system when
there is no current pressing
need? And why are we sit-
ting idly by while corporate
utilities put their hands into
our pockets for their gain?

MID-
DLETON/
VERONA–
Marguerite
(Marg) Emily
Schewe, age
93, passed
away peace-
fully on April
18, 2018. She
was born on March 7, 1925,
in Verona, Wisconsin, to Otto
and Nellie (Bryan) Paradise
Sr. She grew up on the family
farm where she helped with
the daily chores and especially
loved caring for the animals.
Marg graduated from Verona
High School.
On May 16, 1945, Marg mar-
ried Norman Edward Schewe.
They started their married life
farming in the Middleton area.
Later they moved to Madison,
where Marg was a cook for a
UW campus boarding house.
She was a wonderful cook and
baker, much to the delight of the
students she served. Some years
later, Marg and Norm moved
to Middleton. She enjoyed
spending time in her flower
gardens, tending to her beau-
tiful roses. She and Norm also
enjoyed the times they spent at
their cottage on Lake Mendota.
Besides fishing and boating,
they took great pleasure in the
many good card games they
had with family and friends.
When Norm retired, they
moved to Naples, Florida. They
spent several winters there en-
joying the warm weather and
sunshine. Marg’s Friday nights
were most often spent play-
ing bingo with her friends at
the clubhouse. She and Norm
enjoyed going out to dinner,
which often included her fa-
vorite–a brandy old fashioned.
Marg loved to watch sports. If
the Badgers, Packers, Brew-
ers or Bucks were playing,
she would have the game on.
Marg was preceded in
death by her husband, Norm;
sister, Rachel Kalscheur;
brother, Otto Paradise Jr. and
niece, Vicki Paradise Trent.
Survivors include Marg’s
sister, Shirley Hellenbrand;
one niece, eight nephews,
cousins and other fam-
ily members and friends.
A private family service
will be held, followed by
burial at the Verona Cemetery.

Experts say don’t worry too much about cold Spring

BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune
WISCONSIN–If you think
Spring seems cooler than nor-
mal this year, that’s because it
has been. Plant, animal and cli-
mate specialists say they aren’t
too worried, and you shouldn’t
be either.
Assistant Wisconsin State
Climatologist, Edward Hop-
kins, PhD said climatologists
and meteorologists measure
Spring from March to May,
slightly different than the cal-
endar year. Although in the past
two years temperatures have
been higher than normal, this
year seems especially chilly
with an average temperature
of 32.2F. “The long-term aver-
age is 38.4F, so this year is six
Fahrenheit degrees lower than
the ‘normal,’ while last spring
was roughly two degrees above
average,” Hopkins explained.
He also noted that the Mad-
ison area has had 136 consec-
utive days without a 60-degree
day. “This is noteworthy, as
the 136 consecutive days ranks
21st longest on the 76-year pe-
riod of record for Madison,”
Hopkins said.
Greg Busler, state statisti-
cian at National Agriculture
Statistics Service, agreed, and
said that the warmer weather of
the past two years has allowed
farmers to get in the fields early
and noted that last year at this
time 12 percent of oats and six
percent of potatoes had already
been planted by April 16, 2017.
Busler said farmers shouldn’t
worry too much about win-
ter crops, “Winter wheat will
still resprout if it gets frozen.
With hay it’s hard to tell,” he
stated, and said that snow can
kill spots of hay fields and re-
duce yields. “Wheat is 50 per-
cent good to excellent and only
seven percent poor.”
Field work has been delayed
a bit as well, and Busler com-
mented, “We need higher than
normal temps and not much
moisture in the next few weeks
to get back on track. I think
farmers will be able to make
up for lost time. Normally
soybeans and corn are planted
around the end of April or be-
ginning of May. The last cou-
ple years it may have been early
because of the early Spring.”
Plants and flowers in your
yard shouldn’t be of much
concern according to Johanna
Oosterwyk of the UW-Madison
Department of Horticulture,
who also manages DC Smith
Greenhouse.
“Homeowners shouldn’t be
too worried about our herba-
ceous plants. They are a little
late this year, but thanks to a
cold, wet March nothing was
so far ahead that this April
snow will harm. The bulbs that
are already up can handle a lit-
tle snow and frost. Most of the
other garden plants have been
sluggish about sprouting so
they didn’t have many young
tender leaves up anyway,” Oos-
terwyk said.
Dr. Laura G. Jull, UW-Mad-
ison Associate Professor and
Extension Specialist for Woody
Ornamental Horticulture dis-
cussed the effects of the cold on
trees and shrubs, “We usually
have crabapples in bloom the
first week of May and lilacs the
first and second week of May,
but this year, it probably will
be later unless we have a very
warm couple of weeks. As long
as the flower buds have not
opened during this cold spell,
the flowers should still appear,
but again, it is a wait and see
approach as we do not know
what to expect from Mother
Nature.” She said.
The flower and vegetative
buds are in the ‘quiescent,’
state meaning they are not fully
dormant anymore, just resting
until the environmental condi-
tions and day lengths are con-
ducive to initiate bud break,”
Jull added.
As for animals, livestock
should be safe, spare the added
expense for farmers, “A late
spring will force livestock pro-
ducers to rely on their stored
feed supply later in the season.
If a producer is heavily reliant
on pasture, it will be important
for them to monitor their stored
feed supply to ensure it is suffi-
cient for the delay in available
pasture,” said Amy Horn-Del-
zer, DVM, Veterinary Program
Manager–Division of Animal
Health Wisconsin Department
of Agriculture, Trade and Con-
sumer Protection.
Delzer went on to say that
added expense could also come
in the way of farm labor. “The
late season heavy snows also
will add to the labor needs on
many farms. Not only addi-
tional labor for snow removal
from yards and roofs but added
time and effort to monitor pas-
tured cattle feed and fresh water
supplies, as well as keeping an
eye on the welfare of the cat-
tle.”
Honeybees could, however,
suffer from the cold snap due
to late blooming of early flow-
ers, such as dandelions, an early
food source for bees. Beekeep-
ers may want to feed the bees to
ensure health of the hive.
As for wildlife, Andy Paulios
Area Wildlife Supervisor Bu-
reau of Wildlife Management,
Wisconsin DNR said this time
of year, late Winter and early
Spring, are particularly hard on
wildlife that winter over in the
state. He said that the extended
cold will not help in an already
harsh season.
“The late snows and overall
cold were probably a bit harder
than normal on some of our
permanent residents. For ex-
ample, when hibernating mam-
mals become active in spring
they have used up many of their
fat reserves from the previous
growing season. If they awake
and are subjected to large, pro-
longed storm events or cold it
may likely be hard on them.
The good news is that most of
these species evolved under
these conditions and the overall
population likely bounces back
so long as good habitat exists
across the county or range,”
Paulios explained.
Migratory birds may have
more difficulties than other
wildlife when it comes to snow
because it limits their food
source, including scarcity of
insects and lack of access to
food because of snow cover.
“Some years the early robins
‘get the worms’ and some years
they get covered in 12 inches of
snow!” Paulios exclaimed.
He included that despite pho-
tos of distressed wildlife in the
media recently, there should be
no long-term impact on popu-
lations. “While this snow likely
set back breeding for geese,
mallards, robins, turkeys and
other early nesters these species
will attempt again to nest and
over time the impacts of a sin-
gle cold spring will even out,”
Paulios said.
He added that homeown-
ers can help wildlife through
planting and maintaining hab-
itat on their property. “Make
sure that you have a variety
of trees, shrubs and plants
planted that bloom throughout
the year and provide shelter
and food at different times in
the season. For example, late
fruit on native and ornamental
shrubs this April likely was
the preferred food source for
all of those cold, hungry rob-
ins last week! There are many
excellent resources online and
in your community for improv-
ing habitats for wildlife on your
property.” Paulios stated.
The DNR encourages people
who find injured or orphaned
animals during a storm to
visit their website https://dnr.
wi.gov/topic/wildlifehabitat/
orphan.html to learn how to
transport the creature.

Local musicians shine at solo & ensemble festival
MIDDLETON–Hundreds of Middleton High
School (MHS) and Kromrey Middle School
(KMS) and Glacier Creek Middle School
(GCMS) music students performed at the Wis-
consin State Music Association (WSMA) Solo
& Ensemble Music Festival on February 24 in
Middleton. The MHS, GCMS and KMS bands
and orchestras are at their peak now due to indi-
vidual practice hours and increased musicianship
through the solo & ensemble experience.
Steve Kurr, MHS Orchestra Teacher, com-
mented, “Working on solos and ensembles
teaches a whole different set of skills from large
orchestra rehearsal. Students work on indepen-
dent musicianship skills, they become more in-
dividually responsible, and they simply spend
more time with their instruments in the weeks
leading up to this festival. February is the month
of greatest musical growth in our music class-
rooms.” MHS will send 203 music events to the
state WSMA contest at UW Platteville on April
28: 181 band events, 68 orchestra events, 35
choral events and 23 piano events. In addition,

MIDDLETON–Prior to the

above, the Middleton Plan
Commission initially deferred
action for a conditional use
permit for a psychiatric hospi-

“We certainly haven’t had

Strategic director of devel-

was hard for him not to get
emotional while the conversa-

“When you are talking about

Sewer & Water update
CROSS PLAINS–County Highway P that
runs through Cross Plains is in the midst of a re-
construction project. Some of the work has been
completed, and construction will move along
the road as individual projects are completed.
Work Completed Last Week:
• The sewer crew completed work up to
Eller and began working on the Military Road
connection. During the connection, an ex-
isting water main was discovered that will
required a special shutdown on April 20. Af-
fected residents were notified of the work.
• The water main crew began testing
the first stretch of water main and con-
tinued northward towards Military Road.
• From this point through full project
completion, through traffic must utilize the
detour route. Local traffic will be main-
tained throughout construction, but access
and egress patterns will change frequently.
• A 3rd crew is constructing the temporary
access roadway alongside Thinnes. This will
not be put into service until later in the summer.
• Temporary water service has been com-
pleted and is laid on the surface. If your home
is connected to this line, please run one faucet
continuously (approximately a stream equal to
the diameter of your pinkie finger) overnight to
prevent freezing during the cold temperatures.

Work Anticipated This Week:
• The water and sewer laterals in the area
west of Brewery Road will be started. During
this time, each home will be without water for
several hours to allow for connecting to the
new water main. Notice will be given prior to
planned shutdowns. If you are not home during
the daytime hours, please watch your front
door for important notification information.
•The sanitary sewer crew will continue to
work northward, this time starting near Val-
ley Street and proceeding approximately
150-200 feet each day. Residents will not ex-
perience any interruptions to sewer service.
• During the continuing water main construc-
tion, water service WILL be interrupted during
the switch over from normal to the temporary
water lines. Those who will experience an in-
terruption in service will receive notification
prior to the switch. If you are not home during
the daytime hours, please watch your front
door for important notification information.
• Access/egress for local traffic will be main-
tained, but the additional work crews will make
daily changes for residents more likely. During
lateral construction, the entire roadway will be
blocked with an excavation at that particular
home. Please continue to monitor the route maps.

Administrative Code, for which
no environmental analysis is
required; however, in accor-
dance with the SDWLP federal
requirement 40 C.F.R. Section
35.3580, an environmental re-
view must be conducted prior
to funding this project. The
SDWLP has determined that
the projects will not result in
significant adverse environ-

environmental review or anal-

The SDWLP is soliciting
public comments regarding this
decision and potential environ-

participated in this nationwide

sides promoting having a blast,
the program focuses on en-
couraging reading during the
summer months, so kids have
an added edge in further de-
veloping reading and language
skills. STEM and STEAM ac-
tivities are integrated into the
program as well, so kids can
explore science, technology,
engineering, art and math. An
added incentive is the oppor-
tunity to earn books and prizes

Q: What Steps Can I Take to Control
My Investment Taxes
A: Tax Season is finally over. How much you pay in taxes
depends on several factors, many of which you can’t control.
But you might think about how you can manage your
investment-related taxes.
For starters, contribute as much as you can afford to your
401(k) or similar plan. The more pre-tax dollars you put in to
your retirement plan, the lower your taxable income.
Even if you have a 401(k), you probably can contribute to an
IRA, too. With a traditional IRA, your contributions may be fully
or partially deductible, depending on your income. Roth IRA
contributions aren’t deductible, but earnings can grow tax-
free, provided you meet certain conditions.
Here’s another suggestion: Avoid selling investments that
you’ve owned one year or less. If their value has increased,
your profits will be taxed at your personal income tax rate, but
if you hold investments for more than one year before selling,
you’ll receive the long-term capital gains rate, which may be
lower

Q: My dog has been
doing a lot of itch-
ing and scratching.
What could be causing
this?
A: These symptoms are likely caused by allergies,
either seasonal and correspond to the rise and
fall in the levels of grass pollens and mold activity, or
year-round which could be due to something within
the home environment or with certain foods. Other
symptoms could include nasal congestion, sneezing,
coughing, watery eyes, feet licking, paw chewing,
face rubbing, or vomiting and diarrhea. Your veteri-
narian can diagnose allergies by analyzing your pet’s
history and environmental surroundings. A blood test
can be performed to evaluate your pet’s allergic sta-
tus. Not all pets have allergies, but there are certain
breeds that are more susceptible such as golden
retrievers and cocker spaniels. Please contact your
veterinarian if you have concerns about your pet and
allergies.

Q: Can a chiropractor help arthritis?
A: In arthritis, joints of the body start to break down and
malfunction. The damaged joints become more and
more painful. There are more than 100 types of arthritis.
Unfortunately, many arthritis drugs have serious side effects.
Vioxx, Celebrex and Aleve are all known to increase risk of
heart attack and stroke. Ibuprofen has serious side effects for
liver and kidneys.
A recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine showed
that more people with arthritis are using chiropractic, and that
the vast majority of patients get significant relief.
The Doctor of Chiropractic [DC] uses examination, x-ray, and
other tests to assess the problem. The most common treat-
ment is called an adjustment, and helps align the problem
joints. We also offer many other modalities to help with pain
control.
Studies show that chiropractic treatment is very safe, and is
usually very effective for arthritis pain.
Don’t let arthritis pain drag you down! Call us for a no-cost

Boys tennis team wins
Madison Memorial Invite
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
The doubles teams didn’t
lose a match all weekend.
Parker Roberts played hero
in the title match.
And Middleton’s boys ten-
nis team won the champion-
ship of the Madison Memorial
Invite held last Friday and
Saturday at a handful of courts
throughout Dane County. The
Cardinals defeated Green Bay
Southwest, 4-3, in the cham-
pionship match last Saturday.
“The players brought a
lot of energy this weekend
and stepped up at critical
moments,” Middleton coach
Kalla Schaefer said. “It was a
very solid weekend of tennis
for the Cardinals.”
There were several high-
lights during a memorable
weekend for Middleton.
Sam Dettman and Rafael
Sanga went a perfect 4-0 at No.
1 doubles. The No. 2 doubles
pair of Adam Schiebler and
Brandon Bodak and the No. 3
team of Gene Kim and Alton
Yan also went 4-0.
In the championship match
against Green Bay Southwest,
the Cardinals were miss-
ing three singles players.
Roberts, a high JV player who
was thrust into duty, was play-
ing his first ever varsity singles
match. Middleton notched wins
at all three doubles spots, but
lost at No. 1, 2 and 3 in singles
play.

finished, and all eyes were

Middleton rallies past Craig

Cardinals
earn huge
early win
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Janesville Craig’s baseball
team has won three consecu-
tive Big Eight Conference titles
— going a combined 49-5 in
the league in that time.
Craig has gone to the state
tournament two of the last
three years, and won the WIAA
Division 1 state title in 2015.
But Middleton took a
big step Monday afternoon
towards knocking the Cougars
from their lofty perch.
Luke Ballweg drove
home Alan Roden with the
game-winning run in the top
of the seventh inning and the
Cardinals notched an impres-
sive 4-3 win at Craig. Derek
Reisdorf worked two innings
of hitless relief as Middleton
improved to 2-1 in the Big
Eight and 5-2 overall.
“Big win for our kids,”
said Middleton manager Tom
Schmitt, whose team also has
a huge road win against Sun
Prairie to its credit. “Two big

MHS breaks out brooms on East
Softball
team sweeps
doubleheader
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
MADISON — They had
spent far too much time in a
gymnasium when they longed
to be outside.
They did everything possi-
ble to keep things fresh, but at
the end of the day, the options
are limited.
So when Middleton’s
girls’ softball team arrived at
Madison College for a dou-
bleheader with Madison East
last Saturday, the Cardinals felt
like it was Christmas morning.
Looking at the snow on the out-
side of the gorgeous turf field
made it feel even more like the
holidays.
“Oh my goodness, this felt
so good,” Middleton senior
first baseman and Belmont
recruit Jessica Parente said. “I
was so happy to get outside.”
It showed.
The Cardinals erupted
for 11 runs in the first two
innings and steamrolled the
Purgolders, 12-2, in the first
game. Middleton then rallied
from a 4-2 deficit in the second
game and posted a thrilling 5-4
victory.
The Cardinals improved to
3-2 overall and in the Big Eight
Conference.
“We’ve tried to mix it
up a bit and keep it fresh,”
Middleton freshman pitcher
Charlotte Sax said. “But we did
do some things over and over
and it gets long. But I think it
did us good to do some things
over to build those skills.”
Parente agreed.
“We’ve been trying to stay
ready and stay hungry to com-
pete,” Parente said. “And I
think that’s why we were so
ready and so on top of it from
the beginning.”
Sax was certainly on top of
it during an impressive day on
the mound.
Sax went the distance and
picked up the win in the open-
er. Sax then threw the final
1 2/3 innings in relief in the
second game and picked up
the win when Middleton rallied
from a two-run deficit.
“I think it was just about
relaxing and just not getting
in my own head,” Sax said.
“Sometimes I tend to like real-
ly nag on myself for doing
something wrong. But if I
made a mistake today, I just
wanted to think about the next
pitch and come in with a posi-
tive approach.”
The Cardinals have had
games postponed on 14 dif-
ferent dates this spring due to
snow and rain. And after a
nine-day hiatus, Middleton was
raring to go, jumping on East
for six runs in the first inning
of the opener.
Brianna Buss was hit by
a pitch to open the game and
Ashley Bindl singled to left.
Parente, who had five RBI on
the day, then ripped a two-run
triple to center. Olivia Hebert
followed with an RBI single
to right that plated Parente,
then Rachael Roberts was hit
by a pitch and Sophie Schafer
walked to load the bases.
Sam Williams reached on an
error that scored Hebert, then
Roberts scored on a passed
ball and Schafer scored on a
wild pitch to give Middleton a
6-0 lead.
“I think that was us taking
all the excitement we had to
play and we threw it at the first
inning,” Parente said. “It’s kind
of hard to keep up to that, espe-
cially at that level and when
you have (six) runs in your first
at bat. That was just a really
good start.”
Middleton did keep it up,
though.
The Purgolders scored twice
in the bottom of the first and
closed within 6-2. But the
Cardinals added five runs in
the second and surged to an
11-2 lead.
Hebert and Roberts had one-
out singles, then Schafer ripped
a two-run triple to right-cen-
ter field. Schafer scored on an
error by the catcher, and later
both Williams and Celia Horns
scored on an error by the third
baseman.
“We’re growing as hitters,”
Middleton coach Perry Hibner
said. “Our problem is stringing
together a few hits ... but we
did a nice job of that in the first
game.”
In the third, Hebert had a
leadoff triple and scored on an
RBI groundout by Roberts to
give the Cardinals a 12-2 lead.
Sax did the rest for the
Cardinals. After allowing three
hits in the first inning, Sax
gave up just one hit the rest of
the way.
Sax retired the final seven
batters she faced and 10 of
the last 11. Sax also struck out
three and walked just one.
“It was fun,” Sax said. “It
was my first time getting to go
out there and have a full game.
This was a lot more than I’ve
pitched this year. It was a good
feeling.”
East was far more compet-
itive in the nightcap and used
a three-run fifth inning to grab
a 4-2 lead. But the Cardinals
— who were the home team in
game two — rallied back.
In the bottom of the fifth,
sophomore Katelyn Graf had a
leadoff triple and scored when
Horns reached on an error.
Horns stole second, then scored
with two outs when Parente
ripped a single to center that
tied the game, 4-4.
In the bottom of the sixth,
pinch hitter Erin Fischer led
off the frame with an infield
single and stole second. Fischer
moved to third on an infield
groundout by Graf, then
scored on a wild pitch to give
Middleton a 5-4 lead.
“We kept our energy up the
whole time,” Parente said. “We
stayed positive. If one girl got
down, we were instantly pick-
ing her up. And with all the
practices we’ve had, we were
really able to prepare and be
ready for this.”
From there, Sax did the rest.
Sax entered the game in
with one out in the top of the
sixth and retired five of the six
batters she faced. Sax struck
out two and received some
defensive help when second
baseman Sophie Schafer made
a diving stop and threw out
East’s Lexi Van Lone to end
the game.
“I think I was still in the
pitching mentality,” Sax said.
“I was cheering the team on
and trying to keep my energy
going and thinking about if I
had to finish the game, what I
would do to do that.”
In all, it was a terrific per-
formance for a Middleton team
that made the most of their
first game action in more than
a week.
“Overall, they did a nice
job,” Hibner said. “There’s a
lot we still have to work on, but
it was a good day.”

Boys golfers off
to strong start
Middleton third at The Den At Fox Creek Invite
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
They were itchy, stir crazy
and remarkably eager to com-
pete.
So when Middleton’s boys
golf team was invited to play in
The Den At Fox Creek Invite
last week in Bloomington, Ill.,
the three hour drive didn’t
bother anyone. The Cardinals
would have gone to the moon
to break out their clubs.
“We were running out of
things for them to do inside,”
said Middleton coach Tom
Cabalka, who like every other
coach has been frustrated by
the awful weather this spring.
“So it was so nice to get out
and play.”
Even better is that the
Cardinals played awfully well.
Middleton shot a two-day
score of 658 and finished
third at the five-team event
that was held Wednesday
and Thursday. Sheboygan
North finished first at 650 and
Brookfield Central was sec-
ond at 656.
“All in all, I was very
pleased with the kids,”
Cabalka said. “Going in, I
knew I certainly had some
options of who to go with.
And for the most part, the kids
we brought did a great job.”
Freshman Jacob Beckman
led the Cardinals with a two-
day score of 162 and finished
seventh individually.
Beckman shot an opening
round 77, which was good for
second place. He slipped to an
85 on Day 2, but made quite
an impression in his first-ever
varsity match.
“His 77 was played in
some pretty awful condi-
tions,” Cabalka said. “By the
end of that round, it was 35
degrees with 30 mile per hour
winds. So to shoot a 77 in his
first time out of the gates was
awfully impressive.
“Jacob just strikes the ball
really well. He’s confident
and doesn’t act like a typi-
cal freshman. He’s not wide-
eyed. He definitely belongs.”
Sophomore Tommy
Kreiwaldt shot 82-84 and fin-
ished in 11th place at 166.
“I was really pleased with
Tommy’s play,” Cabalka said.
“After Day 1, he was in the
top-10. I was really pleased
that Tommy had two consis-
tent rounds.”
Senior Alex Andler shot
86-81 and finished in 12th
place at 167. Andler made a
team-best 19 pars over the

two rounds in his first varsity
match.
“At the beginning of last
year, Alex was maybe in our
top-20,” Cabalka said. “He
was back in the shadows and
didn’t even get a look. But he
worked extremely hard over
the summer and it showed this
week.”
Middleton sophomore
Carson Frisch struggled with
an opening round 88, but
rebounded with a 79 on the
second day.
“Carson had six three-putts
in the first round,” Cabalka
said. “He cleaned that up and
had a really good second day.”
Senior Andy Zucker shot
88-84 for a 172, well below
his usual standards.
“Andy needs to play bet-
ter,” Cabalka said. “I think he
was just very anxious to get
season going and probably too
anxious to be the top scorer
for this team.”
And Mitch Giroux shot a
second-day 81 after opening
with a 94.
“Overall, I was really
happy,” Cabalka said. “It was
just good for all the guys to

Boys track team
6th at Sun Prairie
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton’s boys track
and field team finished in
sixth place at the 17-team Sun
Prairie Invitational last Friday.
Brookfield East won the
meet with 98 points, while
Bay Port (86), Sun Prairie
(64), Verona (49) and Oregon
(49) rounded out the top five.
Middleton finished with 45
points.
“Overall, it was great to get
a meet with such great compe-
tition,” Middleton coach Joe
Line said.
The Cardinals’ girls were
ninth out of 16 teams. Sun
Prairie cruised to the title with
142 points, while Wausau West
(87), Brookfield East (68),
Jefferson (49) and Oregon
(43) rounded out the top five.
Middleton finished with 33.5
points.
“It was awfully nice to be
able to race again,” Middleton
girls coach Cory Christnovich
said. “We had some things that
reflected our overall lack of
racing, but all in all we are
improving and continuing to
show our true abilities.”
On the boys’ side, senior
Aaron Richardson was third
in the 100-meter dash (11.25)
and sophomore Joey Kean was
seventh (11.46). Richardson
was also third in the long jump
(21-1 ¼).
Sophomore Egan Johnson
was third in the 3,200-meter
run (10:16.81) and junior
Thorne Powers was fourth in
the high jump (5-10).
Middleton junior Daniel
MacLean was fifth in the pole
vault (12-0), while junior Jack
Wilson was eighth (11-6) and
senior Alec Hanson was 10th
(10-0).
Middleton’s 400-meter
relay team of Ben Petersen,
Logan Prichard, Kean and
Richardson was second
(44.67). The Cardinals’ 800-
meter relay team of Petersen,
Prichard, Kean and Richardson
was fourth (1:34.06).
Middleton’s 1,600-meter
relay team of Eagan Peters-
Michaud, Ian Casper, Stuart
Wodzro and Powers was
eighth (3:39.82). And the
Cardinals’ 3,200-meter relay
team of Frank Thornton, Vince
Joswiak, Ryan Schollmeyer
and Noah Pollard was eighth
(8:43.53).
“We wanted to test Aaron
out in four events for the first
time as he will be seeing four
events again a few more times
this year,” Line said. “He
exceeded expectations in the
100 meter dash and anchored
us for the 4x100 and 4x200
relays. We were very happy
with the results considering
our top distance guys did not
participate in the meet as they
were in a meet the next day in
Illinois.”
On the girls’ side, senior
Jennifer McGinnis won the tri-
ple jump (34-9) and was eighth
in the 200-meter dash (27.64).
Junior Claire Lorman was also
eighth in the triple jump (31-
10 ½).
Senior Marie Mayers was
fourth in the 300-meter hurdles

Soccer Cards off to a terrific start SPORTS

BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton’s girls’ soccer
team has great expectations
this spring.
Last weekend, the
Cardinals showed exactly
why by shutting out a pair of
opponents.
Middleton blanked
Oshkosh West, 2-0, last
Friday. The Cardinals then
rolled past Wauwatosa West,
4-0, last Saturday.
The two games were the
first of Middleton’s season
after it had five games post-
poned due to weather. The
Cardinals improved to 2-0 and
jumped to No. 5 in this week’s
Wisconsin Soccer Coaches
Association Division 1 poll.
“We were very excited to
finally get the chance to play
someone other than ourselves
in a scrimmage,” Middleton
coach Mary Duffy said. “It
was a long overdue game after
five cancellations.  42nd minute.
“I think that the only nerves
we had going into the game
were because we had not
played a game yet. But nerves
quickly dissipated when that
whistle blew to start the game.  of play and the new players
“We had the usual first
game bugs to work out: team
shape, communication, get-
ting used to new teammates
in a game atmosphere. But it
isn’t how we start, it’s how we
finish the season. Everyone
has those first games kinks to
work out.”
Actually it didn’t take the
Cardinals long to work out
their kinks.
In Middleton’s win over
Oshkosh West, junior forward
Hailey Kowalski scored in
the 20th minute. Cardinals’
sophomore midfielder Tyler
Wilson later scored in the
Middleton senior Caroline
Powers had three saves and
earned the shutout.
“The returning players set
a great tone of the intensity
added great depth and strength
to the field,” Duffy said. “And
after making some adjust-
ments at halftime, we com-
pletely shut down Oshkosh
West’s attack.”
The Cardinals then blanked
Wauwatosa West one day
later.
Freshman forward/mid-
fielder Victoria Bunz scored in
the 34th minute to give MHS a
1-0 halftime lead. Sophomore
midfielder Kendall Roquet
scored on an assist from Bunz
in the 58th minute to make it
2-0, then Roquet struck again
in the 66th minute on an assist
from senior forward Casey
Wempner to make it 3-0.
Forward Cami Malak
scored in the 78th minute on
an assist from sophomore
defender Kyra Ginsberg to
make it 4-0.
“Our three forwards up
top were a handful for their
defense from the start,” Duffy
said. “Most of the game was
played in the midfield or in
our offensive half, and the
newcomers to the team made
their impact on this team
known on the scoreboard.   paid in advance along with
“We needed a game to
dominate so that we could
work on other team forma-
tion items to shore up the
kinks that we are still working
out in the third week of the
season with only two games
under our belts. We needed to
put away our opportunities to
bring confidence in our play.”
Mission accomplished.

TENNIS continued from page 12

Roberts was cramping up, but
found a way to notch an enor-
mous 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5) win that
gave Middleton the champi-
onship.
“(Parker’s) opponent had
a huge forehand and played
fearlessly, going for his shots
throughout the whole match
and never looked tight,”
Schaefer said. “Parker had to
beat him because his opponent
didn’t give him anything free.
Parker served big and consis-
tently even at the end of the
match when he was cramping
and the score was so close.
“He came up with some crit-
ical chip lobs off of his oppo-
nent’s powerfully hit approach
shots that landed perfectly over
his head. Parker never quit
and never took more than the
allowed time in between points
to stretch out his calves. He
didn’t delay the match and kept
running after every shot. His
grit and fight was exactly what
the team needed.”
Middleton opened the tour-
nament with a 7-0 win over
Homestead.
Ryan Gold, Haiwen Dai,
Kunwarjit Singh and Akshay
Kelshiker all notched easy sin-
gles wins, while the Cardinals’
three doubles teams all rolled,
as well.
Middleton followed that
with an impressive 6-1 win
had to play instead of a third set
because it was getting dark.”
Dai notched a straight
set win at No. 2 singles and
Akshay Kelshiker earned a
three-set win at No. 4 singles.
Middleton’s doubles teams all
posted hard earned wins, as
well.
Middleton dropped a 4-3
decision to Madison Memorial,
but still earned a trip to the
finals. And there, the Cardinals
notched a huge win over Green
Bay Southwest to capture the
tournament championship.

that were picked ahead of us.”
Middleton took a 1-0 lead in
the top of the first inning when
Nolan Kelliher doubled to left
field to open the game, moved
to third on a groundout by Alan
Roden and scored on a sacrifice
fly by Ballweg.
“To get the run in the first
got us relaxed,” Schmitt said.
Craig struck for three runs
(two earned) off Middleton
starter Brady Schmitt in the
second inning and surged to a
3-1 lead.
But the Cardinals answered
right back with a pair of third
inning runs off of Craig junior
Mitchell Woelfle — a first-
team all-conference player last
season — to tie the game, 3-3.
Kelliher singled to left to
open the inning, then moved
to second on a Roden ground-
out. After Ballweg popped
out, Middleton senior Carsen
Schulz singled to center to
score Kelliher.
Schulz took second base on
the throw home, then scored
when Zach Shipley singled to
center to tie the game, 3-3.
Brady Schmitt settled in and
retired eight straight Craig bat-
ters between the third and fifth
innings. Schmitt left with a
no decision after five innings,
allowing five hits, two runs,
striking out four and walking
just one.
“Brady struggled with his
ball up and they got three runs
in the second,” Tom Schmitt
said. “But he did not give in.”
Reisdorf worked a 1-2-3
sixth inning, then Middleton
scratched across the game-win-
ning run in the seventh.
With one out, Roden tripled
to right field off of reliever
Micah Overley. Ballweg fol-
lowed with a base hit to right
to give Middleton a 4-3 lead.
“Luke came up big with the
game winning RBI after Alan
hit a frozen rope to the right
field wall for a stand-up triple,”
Tom Schmitt said.
In the bottom of the sev-
enth, Reisdorf got a pair of fly
ball outs to start the inning.
Then Craig leadoff man Dan
Blomgren — who had two hits
earlier in the game — ground-
ed out to Kelliher at second
base and Middleton finished
off an extremely impressive
win.

don’t have much time to sit
back and enjoy, but we had a
number of positives to enjoy
in the postgame,” Tom Schmitt
said of the win. “This shows
us that when we play good ball
we can play baseball with all
teams.
“We need to be clean,
relaxed and play with confi-
dence. The Craig game goes
a long way to prove and give
us that.”

egory to a combination of the “Planned Neighborhood”; “Park”;
and “Light Industrial” land use categories.” 2) Several properties
located in the Town of Berry along both the east and west sides
of CTH P immediately north of the Village Limits are proposed to
be amended from the “Office/Research”; “Two-
Family/Townhouse”; and “Mixed Residential” land use categories

posed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan should be sub-
mitted before the public hearing date to the Village Clerk. All writ-
ten comments will be forwarded to the Village of Cross Plains
