Some want measure passed to end


religious gatherings at city park
by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune

City alders met in closed session before the latest common


council meeting to discuss the
legal ramifications of ordinances that would impact the
use of Firemans Park. The
council is looking for a solution
to address concerns parents and
students have raised about the
Jesus Lunch events. However,
city leaders say they want to
find a solution that does not en-

croach on constitutional rights.


Jesus Lunches have been taking place sporadically over the
last few years in Firemans
Park, a public city park adjacent
to Middleton High School, during its open campus lunch hour.
The event got the attention of
the school district when its
numbers grew to hundreds and
became weekly during the last
school year.
While the municipal park is
open to the general public, the
school district had a longstand-

ing lease with the city for Firemans Park. Under the terms of
the lease the school district enforced the same rules they did
on school property, which includes a policy that prohibits religious instruction on school
grounds and parents from organizing events without the districts permission.
When district administrative
staff informed the organizers of
Jesus Lunch that they were vioSee JESUS, page 9

Council approves
climate change
ballot questions
by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune

Middleton residents will


have a chance to weigh in on
climate change with two referendum questions on the presidential ballot. The city council
approved adding the referendums following a recommendation to do so by the citys
sustainability committee.
The referendum questions
will appear as follows:
1.) Do you agree that the City
of Middleton, as a local sustainability leader, has a responsibil-

ity to mitigate the risks of global


warming through its policy decisions and actions?
2.) Do you agree that the City
of Middleton should endorse the
national effort to implement a
federal Carbon Fee and Dividend (CFAD) to slow the humanitarian crises and negative
economic consequences caused
by global warming? CFAD will
reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging conservation and make renewable
energy more economically viable.

Area banks announce merger


PAGE 2

MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE

THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 2016

Middleton Community Bank will join with Monona State Bank


by MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune

Monona Bankshares, Inc.,


the holding company for
Monona State Bank, has announced that it is expanding
its bank and team of bankers by
acquiring the holding company
for Middleton Community
Bank.
It
will
merge
the
two banks under the name
Monona State Bank.
This merger makes sense

because both banks are locally


owned and focused on their
communities,
Monona
State Bank president and CEO
Paul Hoffmann said. Weve always believed that there is
strength in neighbors. We look
forward to joining together to
offer more services to all of our
customers.
No layoffs are anticipated as
a result of the merger, and according to Hoffmann local customers will likely see more
mobile banking resources and
broadened expertise in agri-

cultural, home and business


lending from their bankers.
The two banks have known
each other for a long time, he
continued. We have a lot of respect for each other. Thats why,
when they reached out to us, we
responded right away. We have
a great respect for them and it is
a good fit.
The holding companies of
the banks signed a binding
agreement on July 28.
The merger requires shareholder and regulatory approval.
The signing of the final clos-

ing documents will occur in the


fourth quarter of 2016.
Integration
of
the
two banks is expected to be
completed by the summer of
2017.
After the banks merge,
Monona State Bank will employ more than 150 associates
in nine locations.
It will operate the Middleton
Community Bank locations in
Middleton, Cross Plains,
Belleville, Sauk City and
Brooklyn.
The combined banks will

have $775 million in assets, giving them more opportunities to


compete and grow, according to
Hoffmann.
I think were growing
stronger together, commented
Hoffmann. I think it makes
sense and it helps us to stay
local.
Monona State Banks headquarters will remain in Monona.
Were really excited about
having the Middleton Community Bank people join our
team, Hoffmann stated.
Founded in 1991, Monona

State Bank has grown to about


$475 million in assets with two
locations in Monona, and one
each in Madison and Cottage
Grove.
Middleton
CommunityBank has about $300 million in
assets while serving more than
10,000 accounts since opening
in 1995. Its mission is to provide quality products and personal service to customers in
Middleton, Belleville, Brooklyn, Cross Plains, Sauk Prairie
and surrounding communities
in South Central Wisconsin.

Glimpse a local parks future


Proposals for Mendota County Park will be presented next week
by KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune

Community gardens, a bike


ferry to Memorial Union and a
natural play area are some of
the proposals for Mendota
County Park to be presented 7
p.m., August 17 at Peace
Through Christ Lutheran
Church, 3232 W. Point Rd.
In order to develop the parks
first master plan, Dane County

Parks has been taking input


since November on what the
public wants for the 19-acre
park just east of CTH M and Q.
Now, it wants input on the two
draft alternatives it has proposed.
The lakefront park has a 30site campground, beach, boat
launch, sand volleyball and
horseshoe courts and picnic
shelters. What the master plan
proposes is increasing pedestrian access to all those ameni-

He has
not
been

eyes.

ties.
We want to make it easier to
for everyone to get to the park.
Its surrounded by a busy road,
a residential area and a lake and
we want to increase access to it
not just by car, said Chris
James, a landscape architect for
the county who has lead the
master planning effort.
Safer crosswalks for the
apartment complex located
across CTH M from the park
could include flashing warning
signs and pavement markings,
said James.
Many adults have asked for
walking trails in the park as the
only durable surfaces now are
the roads and parking lots. In response, a paved 10-foot-wide
trail that would circle the park
has been proposed.
The trail would pass a proposed mediation/yoga area
called the Labyrinth, located
west of the entrance road, near
the lake. A sculpture garden and
small prairie would add to the
areas aesthetics, said James.
The trail would lead to the

beach where a new filtration


system has been operating this
summer to improve the swim
areas water quality.
The picnic shelter near the
beach would be demolished and
replaced with a timber frame
structure similar to what the
county uses in other parks. The
shelter near the campground
and a third shelter in the western part of the park would be
eliminated. James said they are
underutilized.
A fire pit would be added
near the parks southern tip for
use by the five nearby boat
camping sites or other park
users, James said.
The central parking lot would
be reduced and the parking lot
closer to the beach would be expanded to better accommodate
beach users, James said.
It will make the park function better. The beach is isolated
from parking now, he said.
The playground near the volleyball courts would be expanded for a natural play area
and the volleyball courts moved

to be closer to the reconfigured


central parking area.
The two draft master plans
vary most in the northeast corner of the park where a community garden or a natural play
area are proposed.
A community gardens offers
groups, families or individuals
a rented plot on a sliding scale,
to grow their own produce and
flowers.
Its worked well at Badger
Prairie (County Park) near
Verona, said James.
The area would have to be
raised and a retaining wall built
as storm water from north of
CTH M drains into the parks
northeast corner, he said.
Raising and regarding the
area into mounds connected by
bridges would give youngsters
a new landscape to explore in a
natural play area, James said.
A bike ferry to transport
pedestrian and cyclists from the
park to perhaps the Memorial
Union on the University of Wisconsin campus has been a longtime idea now included in a new

Mendota County Park.


Getting downtown by bike
from Middleton can be a challenge and the county hopes a
private party or the UWs
Hoofers Club would provide
seasonal transport by pontoon
boat from the boat launch pier
to the campus.
Changing some campsites on
the parks north end from angle
parking to pull-through sites
would better accommodate
todays recreational vehicles,
James said. Some rustic
campsite would be added to the
campground.
James was pleased with the
thoughtful input the public has
provided to date on the future of
the park and the input received
at the August 17 meeting will be
used to narrow the focus and
produce a final master plan.
Cost estimates will be developed for the final plan which is
subject to county board approval.

plan are available at the

Former MTT publishers honored


Six publishers, including Anne and Paul Gaylor, added to memorial
The 2016
honorees are:

Anne Nicol Gaylor and


Paul J. Gaylor, former owners of the Middleton TimesTribune;
Dwight Elmer, former copublisher of the New Glarus
Post;
Jane Betty WalrathSolem, former co-owner and
operator of The Clinton Topper;
Ruth Curtiss, co-publisher
of the Republican Journal in
Darlington;
Robert Bob Shellman,
former editor & publisher of
The Oconto County TimesHerald in Oconto Falls.

The Wisconsin Newspaper


Association
Foundation
(WNAF) will memorialize six
former publishers including
two former publishers of the
Middleton Times-Tribune - during the 69th Annual Trees For
Tomorrow Retreat in Eagle
River.
The WNAs memorial pylon
ceremony will be held at 11:30
a.m. on Aug. 19 at Trees For Tomorrow 519 Sheridan St.,
Eagle River to pay tribute to
Wisconsin publishers who
passed away in the last year. A
welcome reception will begin at
11 a.m.
The pylon is located on the
Trees For Tomorrow campus
and includes the names of
nearly 600 publishers. It offers
a space for family, friends and
colleagues to pause and reflect
on the contributions made by
WNA publishers.
The original idea for the memorial pylon was to plant a tree
in the WNA-owned Demonstra-

tion Forest near Eagle River as


a tribute to each deceased publisher. Within a short span of
time, however, it became apparent that there would not be
enough land available to carry
the project beyond a few years,
prompting the creation of the
memorial pylon. Each year,
names have been added at a fitting ceremony during the annual Trees Retreat.
The WNAF dedicated a new
granite memorial pylon during
the 2015 Trees Retreat. The
granite monuments replaced the
original wooden pylon, which
included the names of publishers on press plates. The names
had faded with time, however,
warranting the creation of a
more permanent tribute.
Anne Nicol Gaylor and Paul
J. Gaylor, former co-owners of
the Middleton Times-Tribune,
are being inducted together on
the memorial pylon. Anne died
June 14, 2015, at the age of 88.
Paul preceded her in death in
2011 at the age of 84.
Anne was born in rural
Tomah in 1926 and graduated

from Tomah High School when


she was 16 years old. She graduated from the University of
Wisconsin in Madison in 1949
with a degree in English.
Paul was born in Springfield,
Mo., in 1926. He was a World
War II U.S. Navy veteran and
graduated from Drury College
in 1948. He also did graduate
work at the University of
Kansas City.
Anne and Paul met in Kansas
City, Mo., while Anne traveling
for work. They were married on
Dec. 29, 1949.
They eventually settled in
Madison and had four children.
Anne opened the first temporary office help service in Madison in 1958, and with a partner,
the citys first private employment agency in 1959. After selling the successful business in
1966, Anne and Paul published
the Middleton Times-Tribune
for three years. Paul later served
as vice president of a building
maintenance company in Madison.
Anne was widely known for
her role as a co-founder of the
Freedom From Religion Foun-

dation, which she created in


1976 with her daughter and a
friend. She served as the Foundations feisty president until
2004. Paul served as a Freedom
From Religion Foundation officer for many years and was still
a board member at the time of
his death.
Anne and Paul are survived
by their children and two granddaughters.

Esser family gathers to celebrate 160 years of history

On Saturday, July 30 the


Esser family celebrated 160
years of family history on the
original 80-acre family farm on
Enchanted Valley Road.

Five more acres have been

Esser arrived from Germany.
He sold the farm to his son

Henry who married the neighbor Sophia Korth. Theyraised


13 children and owned the farm
for 44 years before selling it to
their son Mathias and Adeline

Paar in 1946. Matt sold the farm


to his son Lawrence and his
wife Mary Jane in 1957 who
farmed it for 40 years. Their
youngest son Richard now

owns the farm.


More than 150 Essers gathered at the farm for barbecue
pork and many favorite old
dishes brought and shared by

everyone. Aunts,
uncles,
cousins, great nieces and
nephews came from as far as
Nebraska, Minnesota and Indiana to help celebrate.

Local public health officials provide Zika Virus update


With the recent news ofZika
viruscases in Florida, all residents are reminded to stay up to
date ontravel advisories from
the CDCand to take measures
to prevent mosquito bites if you
are traveling.
Currently, the greatest chance
for a Dane County resident to
contract the Zika virus is to
travel to a Zika-infected area or
to have sexual contact with
someone who has traveled to a
Zika-infected area.
In over ten years of mosquito
monitoring in Dane County, the
mosquito species that carry
Zika have not been found here

and have not yet been found in


Wisconsin. PHMDC is continuing to monitor Zika news and
is taking action to reduce the
risk of residents contracting the
Zika virus.

Here is a summary of
PHMDC efforts:
Mosquito
monitoring:
PHMDC, in partnership with
City of Madison agencies, six
neighboring communities, and
the University of Wisconsin,
carries out mosquito larvae
monitoring and control activities in the Madison metropolitan area. This year, additional

monitoring is underway in outlying communities to detect the


presence of the mosquito
species that transmits the Zika
virus.
Planning for future scenarios:
PHMDC staff are participating
in meetings with the state and
CDC to get the most up to date
information to inform our response efforts.
Our mosquito monitoring
and control plans have been
adapted to cover the mosquito
species that carry Zika.

Zika case follow-up:


When a Dane County resi-

dent is diagnosed with Zika a


PHMDC Public Health Nurse is
assigned to follow up with the
infected person and to provide
education about how not to infect others through sexual activity. To date, four Dane County
residents have tested positive
for the Zika virus.In all cases,
the Zika infection was contractedduring foreign travel.

What people need


to know about Zika:
Zika primarily spreads
through the bite of an infected
mosquito. You can also get Zika
through sex with an infected

partner.
The best way to prevent Zika
is to prevent mosquito bites and
to avoid unprotected sex with
someone who may be infected.
Zika is linked to birth defects
so women who are pregnant
or are planning a pregnancy
should avoid travel to areas that
have active Zika infections.
Many people infected with
Zika will have no symptoms or
mild symptoms that last several
days to a week. However, Zika
infection during pregnancy can
cause a serious birth defects,
stillbirths, and miscarriages.
Even though the Zika carrying

mosquito is not in our area, it is


always a good idea to protect
yourself against mosquito bites
by wearing protective clothing,
avoiding outdoor activities at
dawn and dusk and using an effective mosquito repellant.
PHMDC will continue to inform the public on our mosquito
and virus monitoring efforts
when new information is available.
Individuals with Zika symptoms are advised to see a healthcare provider if they have
visited an area where the virus
is present or had sexual contact
with a person who has.

The Middleton Citizen Satisfaction Survey is still open

The Middleton Citizen Satisfaction Survey for 2016 is now


available
at
surveymonkey.com/r/2016citizensatisfactionsurvey.
The City of Middleton wants
the feedback of the residents

and businesses that provide the


revenue that funds municipal
operations, programs and services.
In a diverse community
such as Middleton, there are
many opinions about which

specific programs and services


should be annually funded,
said a city statement announcing this years survey. The potential list of programs and
services is nearly unlimited.
The amount of money to fund

that list however is very much


limited.
During the upcoming 2017
budget development process the
Mayor, Common Councils Finance Committee and the Common Council as a whole will be

trying to determine Middletons


highest priority programs and
services and matching these
with estimated resources, the
statement continued. Your
input through this survey is very
valuable to this process. Indi-

vidual responses to this survey


will be kept confidential. Please
respond no later than Friday,
August 26, so that we may have
your feedback in advance of our
budget process.

CLIMATE

MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE

While neither referendum would


have any binding effect it would
send a message to city leaders and
higher levels of government, say
members of the sustainability committee and residents in favor of
adding the referendums to the
presidential ballot.
The memo submitted to the
common council explained how
the CFAD would work. It would
require a steadily rising federal fee
on fossil fuels. The fees would be
redistributed back to consumers to
offset increased costs passed on to
them by fossil fuel providers.
Members of the sustainability
committee say this would spur innovation by encouraging businesses to develop lower carbon
products to become even more
competitive in the marketplace.
The memo points to British
Colombia as an example. It says
the Canadian Province imple-

lating district policy they threatened a lawsuit saying their first


amendment rights were being
violated. The district then requested the lease, which was
vague on the issue, be cancelled
so they would relinquish all
oversight of the park to the city
and police. The city approved
the change earlier this year.
The common council already
passed an ordinance prohibiting
smoking, alcohol and amplified
sound at Firemans Park during
school days, but is considering
other ordinances that would
prohibit large groups from gathering in the park during school
days.
MHS parent Bonnie Margulis said the Jesus Lunches are
having an obvious impact, but
she added that the city should
be careful to ban all large
groups not just Christian ones.
The fact that the school is
contemplating having to spend
extra money they dont have for
extra security, bringing in extra
curricula, bringing in trauma
counselors I think tells you
something and really should
give you pause about the level
of disruption and danger that is
inherent in having these large
groups that are disruptive to the
school day, that are bringing
disruptive messages to a park
that is directly adjacent to the
school, Margulis said. I urge
you to take a very common
sense, constitutional, content
neutral approach to the use of
Firemans Park during the
school day and restrict its use
during the school day to groups
of 20 or less.
Robert Burke, also a parent
of an MHS student, said he
signed a petition with 120 other
signatures of Middleton residents or parents of Middleton
students that request the city to
put reasonable restrictions on
the use of Firemans Park.
I know that a lot of the people that have spoken for allowing Jesus Lunch to occur seem
to be coming from outside the
community. That is fine, we can
hear all voices but I want you to
remember that there are quite a
few people here in Middleton

mented a CFAD in 2008 and since


fossil fuel consumption has fallen
16.4 percent relative to the rest of
Canada. In the same period, economic growth was slightly better
than the rest of Canada, it notes.
Resident Kermit Hovey urged
the common council to begin acting against climate change.
We need to not only take action
but encourage action at all levels,
whether it is city, county, state or
federal, Hovey said. Climate
change is really happening, it is really serious, it is really human
caused and we can still really do
something about it. These referenda will help make that case
and help move forward the action
that is needed to provide for a livable world and a livable climate,
not only for us today but for future
generations.
Lee Schwartz, a member of the
citys sustainability committee,

who feel strongly that this dangerous for our children, Burke
said. There are things happening in the school that scare us as
parents.
Another concerned parent,
Janie Foth, asked the council to
find a constitutional approach to
help protect the students.

said if passed the resolutions


would make Middleton a leader in
the community.
Pete Kechele, a science teacher
in Middleton, said his many of his
students have an interest in climate
science and what can be done
about climate change. He said he
can answer questions about the science, but never felt he could never
give an answer on what could be
done.
More than anything I see in my
students is a desire and a hope for
their future and part of that involves taking a strong stance and
acting strongly on climate,
Kechel said. After learning about
carbon fee and dividend specifically I think it is probably one of
the best large scale changes that
we can make. It also bipartisan

takes.
Alder Mark Sullivan asked for
more explanation of the referendums.
I think this is a great first step
but Im wondering how we are to
be responsible for mitigating the
risks of global warning, Sullivan
said. It says we are going to take
the lead in somehow mitigating
the impact global warming, so
Im wondering of someone could
summarize the committees discussion on what that means from
a public policy perspective.
Alder JoAnna Richard responded to Sullivan saying that
on the city level they need to prepare by budgeting mitigation
costs as well as work on reducing
their own carbon for print.
City administrator Mike Davis
pointed out the community solar
project with MG&E that the city
took on was a great example of

tional approach to this to protect


the students.
Didi Heisler said she expects
the city and the school district
to be looking out for the safety
of the children.

Going to renewable resources
is a huge means by which we can

wont be able to do it all by itself
but each community is a drop in
that bucket that makes a big
change in the end.
City clerk Lorie Burns explained that it would cost $2,000
to add the two referendum questions to the ballot. The sustainability committee agreed to have
the cost paid for out of the committees annual operating budget.
The motion to approve the recommendation for including the
two climate change advisory referendums on the presidential
election ballot passed unanimously.

school.

The big

Lyles joins Middletons


program, hopes soar
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune

Middletons football team


camp was in full swing late
last month when the new kid
in town made his presence
immediately felt.
Highly acclaimed offensive linemen Kayden Lyles,
who transferred to MHS this
summer and will play his senior season with the Cardinals,
watched as a teammate failed
to finish a drill. Lyles, a 6foot-4, 320-pound mountain
of man, didnt like what he
saw and pulled out his own
personal sheriffs badge.
He just told the kid, Drop
and give me five,
Middleton offensive coordinator Jason Pertzborn said of
Lyles. Hes used to winning
and doing things a certain
way.
Its hard to get a kid
whos been in our program for
four years to do that kind of
stuff. But Kaydens already
grabbed a leadership role and
he showed it right there.
Now, the Cardinals cant
wait to see what Lyles shows
on the field.

Lyles, whos already committed to the University of


Wisconsin, is the No. 1 rated
high school player in the state
according to wissports.net.
The 6-foot-3, 320-pound
Lyles had scholarship offers
from virtually every national
power including Michigan,
Notre Dame, USC and
Oklahoma before deciding to
become a Badger.
Middletons offensive line
was expected to be a strength
this season, even before Lyles
arrived. Now with Lyles
who
transferred
from
Scottsdale, Ariz. And has
been lining up at right guard
the Cardinals could have
one of the top units in the
state.
Im happy for our running
backs, Middleton quarterback C.J. Fermanich said with
a chuckle. Im really psyched.
While Lyles might be a
newcomer to Middletons
program, hes no stranger to
many of the Cardinals.
Lyles lived in Fitchburg
from the age of 5 until the end

a 9-1 win in the first round of
the HTL playoffs in a game
played at Baer Park.
Ashton took the lead in the
top of the first and never
looked back, capitalizing on
four Cross Plains errors
throughout the game and a
strong outing by starting pitcher and former Middleton standout Adam Nutting.
Nutting showed off an armof-steel, notching the win while
hurling eight innings on 125
pitches (73 strikes), scattering
eight hits, and striking out four.
Nutting wasnt overpowering,
relying on hitting his spots and
fooling the Cross Plains hitters
with some effective off-speed
pitches.
They say you need to
throw hard to be effective,
Nutting said. I dont think you
need to. As long as you hit your
spots, thats all that matters.
Nutting also credited his
catcher, Kasey Miller, for calling a good game.
He always calls a great
game, Nutting said. He
always mixes it up, keeps
opposing batters on their toes,
blocks everything, has a great
arm. Hes a great catcher.

#6 Ashton at #1 Middleton, 1 p.m.
#5 Black Earth at #2 Sauk Prairie, 1 p.m.

was impressed with his starting


pitcher.
Adam kept them off guard
and got the outs when he had
to, Adler said. He got guys to
pop out with runners on base.
Cross Plains had several
scoring chances, but failed to
deliver. The Businessmen left
16 runners on base and went 1for-9 with runners in scoring
position.
If some of those hits (with
runners in scoring position)
would have dropped, this game
would have been totally different, said Cross Plains manager Randy Meinholz after the
loss. It would have been close.
Our guys would have been
more pumped up.
Cross Plains pitcher Kenny
Allen notched a complete game
win over Ashton two weeks
ago. This time, though, Allen
took the loss and lasted three
innings.
Allen was unable to get into
any kind of groove and threw
just 65 pitches, allowing three
runs (two earned) and giving
up four hits.
Ashton got to Allen early,
striking in the top of the first
inning.
Kevin Peternell led off the
game with a walk and moved to
second on an Aaron Gowan
sacrifice
bunt.
Derek
Prochaska then cracked an RBI
single that scored Peternell that
gave Ashton a 1-0 edge.
The As struck again in the
top of the third. Gowan reached
on an error and moved to second after Carter Hoffman was
hit by a pitch.
Nolan Kouba singled in a
run two batters later, scoring a

hustling Gowan from second


base. Tanner Meinholz followed with an RBI single, scoring Hoffman and giving Ashton
a 3-0 lead.
The As kept padding their
lead in the fourth.
Kasey Miller led off the
inning with a single against
new Cross Plains pitcher
Shawn Held. Gowan walked,
moving Miller into scoring
position, who then scored on a
Carter Hoffman single to make
it 4-0.
Cross Plains remained within striking distance until the
seventh inning, when Ashton
capitalized on two of Cross
Plains four errors and put the
game out of reach.
Kouba walked with one out
and moved to second after
Tanner Meinholz reached on an
error. Ashtons Steve Bayer
grounded back to Held, and the
pitcher fired to second, but
instead air-mailed the throw
into center field, allowing
Kouba to sprint home and
make it 5-0.
A bunt single by Miller
loaded the bases, then Maier hit
a two-run single that scored
Meinholz and Bayer and
pushed Ashtons lead to 7-0.
After Gowan drew his third
walk of the game to load the
bases, Hoffman delivered his
second and third RBIs of the
game and gave Ashton a 9-0
lead.
Cross Plains scored its only
run of the game in the eighth.
Jordan Lueck led off the inning
with a single and moved to second after Allen reached on an
error. Drew Meinholz then singled to score Lueck.

Nick Maier and Ashtons Home Talent League team rolled past Cross Plains on Sunday.

Hoffman finished the day 2for-4 with three RBI, while


Miller was 2-for-5 with two
runs scored. Will Doherty,
Shane Murphy and Lueck all
had two hits for the
Businessmen.
Cross Plains entered the
game with four straight wins,
but picked the wrong time for a
hiccup. Still, first-year manager Randy Meinholz was proud
of his team that finished 11-6.
They had a great run,
Meinholz said. After the hurt

of this goes away, they can


look back on a pretty good season. This one stings. If you
dont win in the playoffs, thats
what everybody remembers.
Wed like to be playing next
week, but its not going to happen.
On the flip side, Ashton
manager Dave Adler says his
team is getting healthy and its
confidence is high.
After
knocking
off
Middleton a week ago and
knocking these guys [Cross

Plains] off, I think its going


really good, Adler said. I
thought Cross Plains was playing the hottest baseball in our
section, so that was a big win.

eight while not allowing a


walk.
Farrell took a perfect game
into the seventh inning before
allowing a single.
Farrell was absolutely fantastic, Hellenbrand said. He
looked the best I have seen him
in a long time.He just dominated their hitters. He really spotted the ball well and was in
total control.
Middletons offense, which
had struggled in recent weeks,
also came to life.
Josh Hinson went 2-for-3
with two RBI, while Luke
Schafer went 2-for-4. A.J.
Redders added two RBI and
Brennan Schmitt had an RBI.
Middleton scored three runs
in the third inning and grabbed
a 3-0 lead.
Brandon Scheidler drew a
leadoff walk, Schafer singled,
then Kevin Dubler flew out to
deep right center to advance
Scheidler and Hinson to second
and third.With one out, Hinson
singled home Scheidler to give
the 29ers a 1-0 lead.

With two outs, Andrew


Zimmerman walked and
Redders ripped a two-run single that scored Schafer and
Hinson for a 3-0 Middleton
lead.
In the fourth, Hinsons sacrifice fly plated Schmitt for a 40 Middleton lead.
Then in the fifth, Schmitts
RBI single scored Redders to
give Middleton a 5-0 advantage.
Middleton put the leadoff
runner on base in seven of eight
innings and didnt strike out
once.
I was really happy with the
approach our guys took at the
plate today, Hellenbrand said.
We hit the ball hard and
Richland Center made some
great defensive plays to keep
the game close.

We played a lot better
game today than what we have
played in the last couple

whose team snapped a twogame losing streak. Really, we
were just a couple of hits from
blowing the game wide open.
Farrell was brilliant on the

of work to be done between


now and October to get there,
said Middleton coach Becky
Halverson, who has brilliantly
maintained the tradition established by former coaches
Dewey Stendahl and Jeff
Kenas. We will take it one
day at a time and really focus
on what each individual needs
to work on to help the team
make another run at it.
For Middleton to make
another state title push, it will
need improvement from within
to compensate for the loss of
the brilliant Skibba.
Skibba, who is now playing
at Northern Arizona, averaged
74.65 last season, which was
the lowest average in the state.
Skibba finished first at seven
of 13 tournaments during the
regular season and was never
lower than eighth.
Skibba was second individually at regionals, sectionals
and state. Skibba was then
named the state Player of the
Year by the Golf Coaches
Association of Wisconsin.
Today, Skibba is undoubtedly on Middletons Mount
Rushmore of girls golfers that
also includes Jill Ries, Heidi
Hinners and Lindsey Solberg.
Losing Loren Skibba is
definitely going to hurt,
Halverson said. But I know
how much these other girls
have been working during the
off-season to step up. I have
confidence in this group of
girls and I know they dont
want to skip a beat.
Odds are, they wont. Thats
because Middleton returns an
incredibly gifted group of veterans that includes seniors
Alexis Thomas, Morgan Miles,
Morgan Narowetz and junior
Payton Hodson.
Thomas made enormous
strides last year when she
earned first-team all-state honors.
Thomas averaged 78.56,
won the Big Eight Conference
tournament and finished fourth
individually at state. Thomas
also fired a remarkable 1under-par, 71, on the second
day of the state tournament,
which keyed Middletons run
to the title.
Thomas was in the top-five
in 11 of the 14 tournaments she
competed in, including eight
top-three finishes. And now,
Thomas seems poised for a
huge senior season.
Alexis is returning off of a
tremendous junior year,
Halverson said. She has the
drive and talent to really make
strides this season.
I think she is ready to take
over that No. 1 spot in the lineup and be one of the best girls
golfers in the state. Alexis is so
focused and knows exactly
what she needs to do on the
golf course. Im excited to see
her continue to progress this
season.
Narowetz had a strong junior season that included three
top-three finishes and a fourth
place showing at the Big Eight
Conference meet. Narowetzs
season average was 86.12 and
she was named honorablemention all-state.
Morgan Narowetz has
been playing a few tournaments this summer and when
she has fun with the game she
does great, Halverson said. I
really hope this season she can

MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE

continued from page 12

continue to have fun and relax


when she plays.
Miles also earned honorable-mention all-state honors
in 2015 after cracking the top10 at four tournaments during
the regular season and finishing with an 88.72 average.
Miles was then seventh at
regionals, fifth at sectionals
and 27th individually at state.
Morgan Miles has been
playing a ton of golf this summer and Im really excited to
see what she can do for us this
season, Halverson said.
Morgan always has a smile on
her face and is a joy to watch
on the course. She is very
determined and has the drive to
succeed that Id like everyone
to have.
Hodson improved as much
as any of Middletons golfers
last year and was named honorable-mention all-Big Eight.
Hodson finished with the year
with 91.64 average, more than
seven shots better than her
2015 average.
Payton has switched gears
lately back to golf from basketball and Im thrilled to have
her back again this season,
Halverson said. She has a
great golf swing that she has
been working hard at.
Shes played in a lot of
tournaments and I think shes
going to be really ready for this
season. Shes a joy on the golf
course and I really enjoy being
around her.
Middletons program is
always one of the deepest in
the state, and this year is no
different.
Thats
given
Halverson a bevy of candidates
to choose from at No. 5 that
includes senior Clare Day, juniors Haley Dunn, Grace
Peterson and Allison Richards,
sophomore Ella Schroeder and
freshmen Bryn Jens and Kate
Meier.
We have a lot of girls with
a year or two under their belt
that have seen what it takes to
climb into that varsity spot,
Halverson said. It will be fun
to see it all come together.
The 2015 season couldnt
have come together any better.
Middleton
trailed
Arrowhead by four shots with
three holes remaining at state.
But the Cardinals gained a
remarkable five shots in that
time and edged the Warhawks
by one shot to hoist gold.
Now, Middleton will try
becoming just the third
Division 1 school to repeat as
champions since the WIAA
broke the state tournament into
two divisions in 2003.
I think winning state
showed the girls that hard
work really does pay off,
Halverson said. All of those
short game practices when
they would rather be relaxing
really do make a difference.
They now have seen that they
can do it and how much fun it
is to win state.
We will take a look at our
trophy from last season many
times and remember how it
didnt just come to us. There
was a lot of work that helped
them get that trophy. And
teamwork!
They didnt just win it by
using one persons score. It
took all of them to make it happen and I hope they never forget that and how it felt to win
state.

of seventh grade. During


that time, Lyles played youth
football for Middleton.
Because Lyles has always
been bigger than most of his
classmates, he played up a
grade with many of last years
seniors. But some of the current Cardinals got to know him
during that time, as well.
Fermanich, for example,
also played up a grade and was

MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE

on the same team as Lyles in


youth football. Fermanichs
father, Barry, also coached both
boys.
I knew him back then, but
only on the football field, C.J.
Fermanich said. Now, Ive
gotten to know him a lot more
off the field and hes a great
guy. Im really happy hes on
our side.
Lyles and his family moved

to Arizona after he finished


seventh grade. There, Lyles
helped Scottsdale (Ariz.)
Saguaro High School win three
consecutive state championships.
But Kaydens father, Kevin
a tight end at UW from
1993-96 was transferred
back to the Madison-area for
work. And after narrowing his
high school choices to
Middleton
and
Madison
Memorial, Kayden decided to
become a Cardinal.
It just felt right here, said
Kayden, who had a 4.1 grade
point average at Scottsdale
Saguaro. I knew a lot of last
years senior class really well,
some of the older guys, and I
just felt at home here.
The addition of Lyles should
be an enormous boon to the
Cardinals running game.
Middleton, the two-time
defending champions in the
Big Eight Conference, have
had one of the leagues most
balanced offenses in recent
years.
Over the last three seasons,
Middleton has run the ball
60.8% of the time. The
Cardinals have also been
extremely balanced, and their
three-year rushing totals (5,489
yards) have been comparable
to their passing numbers (5,015

yards).
Pertzborn and Middleton
head coach Tim Simon joked
that with Lyles on board, it
might be hard not to become
one-dimensional.
We like to be balanced, but
hes a pretty special player,
Simon said of Lyles. Well
also try not to be too right
handed or left handed, but hes
a difference maker. You cant
ignore that.
Hes a pretty athletic kid.
He reminds me a lot of (former
Middleton standout) Ryan
Groy. Obviously, hes going to
help us a lot.
Lyles has already turned
heads in the weight room by
bench pressing 315 pounds and
squatting 500. Hes a devastating blocker in the run game,
but his feet are nifty enough to
pull from his right guard spot
or keep his quarterback clean
in the passing game.
The kids already trust
him, Pertzborn said. He just
gives everybody confidence.
You can tell already what a
competitor he is.
Lyles cant wait to begin
competing and hopes to make
his brief time in Middleton
extremely memorable.
Lyles plans to graduate after
the first semester, then enroll
early at the UW, where his

brother, Kare, is a freshman


quarterback for the Badgers.
Lyles would like to major in
either law or business at the
UW. But before Lyles heads to
campus, he wants to have a
senior season at Middleton that
hell never forget.
Its starting to hit me now
that my time is coming to an
end, said Lyles, who will also
play some defensive line at

MHS. I really want to make it


a great year, so Im going to be
hard on the guys.
I want to play 14 games
and Im thinking about 14
games. If were going to play
14 games, we cant be cutting
corners. I want to set a great
example and help lead these
guys, and hopefully we can
have a really great year.
