over ‘grave safety concerns,’
but town officials hope to find
a solution to keep them going

Sunflower Days in the Town of Middleton, pictured here in 2017, might have become a victim
of its own success. It attracted 92,000 visitors last year.

City council approves $2.63 million land acquisition

Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton Common Council approved
the purchase of the properties at
Clark & Parmenter Street, north
of Lee Street, for a total cost of
$2.63 million, on April 3. The
city plans to make a request for
proposals from local develop-
ers to redevelop the site.
The city first considered pur-
chasing the properties for the
use of expanding the school
district. The school district is
in the midst of planning a new
facility after years of enroll-
ment growth. The school board
and district’s facility planning
committee eventually ruled out

of expanding on-site or on land
already owned.  tiations the common council
City administrator Mike
Davis suggested the council
still consider a public/private

Cross Plains pharmacy moves

CROSS PLAINS-A long-

Pharmacy, in its third loca-

1972, is now able to pro-
vide more parking and bet-

patients. Located in Esser

they offer a parking spot
for customers who need the
pharmacist to bring their
prescription to them, as well
as an additional parking

Ms. Kostecki is very ex-

according to Pope’s letter.
The FOPFC had foreseen this
possibility and had discussed
ways of reducing attendance
by charging an admission fee.
However, the work involved
in getting approval from the
town board and collecting a
charge made it “simply not pos-
sible,” this year, Pope wrote.
After concluding it was not
safe to hold the event without
reducing attendance, the board
determined that its only choice
was not to hold Sunflower

not wait any longer to decide
on the event’s fate this year as
it needed to notify the farmer

Because some state money

A time when
anything is
possible...
My daughter adores the wild,
emotional paintings of Vin-
cent Van Gogh. She even pro-
nounces his name correctly,
with the guttural, chain-smok-
ing “ggauhhlff” noise at the
end. She also loves Gandalf
(the wizard).  during his life, and Gauguin
She uses their names inter-
changeably.
Sometimes a Dutch post-im-
pressionist painter named “Van
Galf” finds himself in Middle
Earth with a bunch of hobbits,
running around in search of a
dragon’s treasure. Others, an
old wizard named “Gan Dalf”
sits in a field in Provence and
paints sunflowers.
In their minds, four-year-old
children leave us and return
so often. They warp to distant
times and places, then come
home again, as if waking from
a lucid dream.
As adults, we can imagine
ourselves in other times and
places, too. But it takes con-
siderably more effort. I mostly
just like to imagine being able
to go back to the 1990s, to a
pre-internet age, when I would
not be subjected to vacuous
tweets, hashtags, and a bel-
lowing cacophony of political
social media feuds. To a time
when a toilet paper company
didn’t have 80,000 followers on
Twitter, which I have to admit
is way more than I have.  0 0

I don’t like everything about
modern life, but I do feel in-
credibly lucky to live in a time
– the first time in all of human
history, actually – when all of
us, regardless of wealth, formal
education, race, sexual orienta-
tion or gender - are free to view
the greatest paintings, listen to
the most beautiful songs, and
read the most magical books
our species has ever created.
You don’t even need to leave
your house; most of it is avail-
able online, for free. Everything
Shakespeare ever wrote is in
the public domain. You can see
everything Manet ever painted.
You can listen to everything
Brahms ever composed. If you
are really lucky, and you have
$20 of disposable income, you
can even go to a book store and
stock up on large books about
Gauguin and Van Gogh, or
Gandalf, or whoever else you
find interesting.
This is no small thing. Until
a few decades ago, no one had
access to any of this. It makes
this, 2018, the year in which
everyone seems to be filled
with despair, the greatest time
to be alive in all of human his-
tory. Because art matters, more
than anything else. Writing,
painting, composing, theater,
religion – these are beautiful
human inventions that give life
meaning. They are the highest
forms of art.

host the annual Great Steps
Walk 4NF beginning at Capi-

May 19. The event will kick off
at  8:30 a.m.  with registration
for all participants. The walk
is approximately three and be-
gins at 10 a.m. with “goodies”
passed out along the walk path.
At the conclusion of the walk,
recognition will be awarded to
those raising the most money.
There will also be food, drinks,
fun characters, raffles and si-

assortment of prizes after the
walk.  
Even though NF is more
prevalent than cystic fibrosis,

of NF until it affects someone
they love. It is a genetic dis-
order of the nervous system
that affects approximately 1 in
2,500 people of all races and
both sexes equally.  In simple
terms, it causes tumors to form
spontaneously on any nerve
endings.  Unfortunately, it is a
progressive disorder and cur-

awareness is low, relative to

Board to
include
equity
language
DANE COUNTY–Looking
“to ensure that government
works for all citizens,” the
Dane County Board will soon
include wording at the top of
its agendas asking how any
pending actions might impact
minority groups.
At its meeting on April 5, the
County Board approved creat-
ing a new masthead that would
include questions such as: Who
benefits? Who is burdened?
Who does not have a voice at
the table? How can policymak-
ers mitigate unintended conse-
quences of their actions?
Adding a so-called “racial
equity template” to official doc-
uments will help policy makers
keep those questions front and
center when considering reso-
lutions, ordinance amendments,
budget amendments or other
action items.
The move is the latest step in
the Board’s goals announced in
2015 following the first racial
equity analysis of all county
operations.
“We’ve made some excellent
progress already in advancing
these goals and adding racial
equity wording into all our
deliberations will help move
the discussion forward even
faster,” says County Board
Chair Sharon Corrigan of Mid-
dleton.
By adding a racial equity
template to it agendas, Dane
County joins other communi-
ties such as Seattle, Portland,
Austin and St. Paul in putting
key questions front and center.
“Congratulations to Dane
County for the legislation just
passed,” says Julie Nelson, di-
rector of the Government Al-
liance on Race and Equity
(GARE) which has been work-
ing with officials here for over
four years.  “Incorporating

and burdens into the routine
decision-making process will
help to keep equity at the fore.”
GARE is a national organi-
zation with offices in Oakland,
Calif. and New York City.
County Supervisor Shelia
Stubbs of Madison says the
new masthead -- expected to be
unveiled in the coming weeks
-- shows that Dane County is
serious about addressing “the
daunting disparities that impact
this community.”
“Incorporating these equity
questions into the masthead
will ensure that decision mak-
ers consider their work through
the prism of equity,” Stubbs
says. “In addition, these ques-
tions will help us continue to
incorporate our values into our
everyday work.”  children.  Included in these ef-
In 2015, Dane County an-
nounced a series of goals that
included: Increasing racial eq-
uity education; Increasing staff
diversity and inclusion; In-
creasing the learning platform
for supervisor and community
on racial equity; Incorporating
a racial equity template into
committee agendas and bud-
gets; Developing local and na-
tional partnerships to advance
racial equity.
Dane County has made prog-
ress on most of those goals and
the new masthead is a tangible
example of the County Board’s
ongoing commitment to ad-
dressing racial inequality, says
Board Chair Corrigan.
“We’re not just talking about
equity and inclusion, we’re
taking action that other com-
munities in Wisconsin and na-
tionwide can use as an example
of good government,” she says.

DANE COUNTY–Joe  Pa-

has announced the county is
seeking partners to conduct a

available in our community. It
is aimed at identifying potential

The objective of this study

identified.  Firms interested in
conducting the analysis must

dozen Dane County school
districts.  These teams work in
schools daily, helping hundreds
of kids each semester and are
funded by a cost share between
Dane County and local schools. 
The county’s share of funding
in 2018 totals over $1 million
for this program.
The county’s 2018 budget
also included $100,000 to help

SCHOOL NOTES
Roach and
Kim earn
recognition
MHS sophomore Ella Roach
and junior Mia Kim won Scho-
lastic Art and Writing Midwest
Regional Awards recently.
Roach was awarded a Gold
Key for her short story, “Glass.”
Kim won a Silver Key for her
short story, “Normal” along
with honorable mention for her
flash fiction story, “Crickets.”
Roach was recognized at a
ceremony in Iowa recently. As
a Gold Key recipient, her short
story was advanced to the na-
tional competition, where it
has already received a medal,
MHS English teacher Jenni-
fer Mathison-Ohly said. That
places Roach’s work in the top
1 percent of art and writing sub-
mitted in 2018.
Last fall and winter, students
in grades 7-12 from across the
country and places abroad sub-
mitted nearly 350,000 works
of art and writing to the 2018
Scholastic Art & Writing
Awards. Almost 19,600 works
earned regional Gold Keys and
advanced to national adjudica-
tion in New York City.
National medal winners, in-
cluding Roach, will be invited
to a ceremony at Carnegie Hall
on June 7.
Student winners were identi-
fied by panels of creative pro-
fessionals as the most talented
young artists and writers in the
nation.
Since 1923, the Awards have
recognized creative teen-agers
from across the country. Past
winners include Andy Warhol,
Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote,
Robert Redford, Joyce Carol
Oates, and the renowned
author and illustrator who
will receive the Alumni
Achievement Award this year,
Marc Brown.
Sauk Trail
contest
To support the values of good
citizenship and playing fair,
Sauk Trail recently launched a
unique contest, open to all stu-
dents and staff: try to guessti-
mate how many old markers are
crammed into a fish aquarium.
The friendly competition in-
tegrates counting and estimat-
ing, plus it encourages students
to work together comparing
their guesses and rationale.
But it goes beyond the math
lesson to reinforce valuable life
skills.
“One of our themes of en-
couraging camaraderie this year
at Sauk Trail is ‘We Play Fair,’
” guidance counselor Mary Ad-
amavich said. “Our staff works
together to reinforce the hope
that all students play fair, not
only on the playground and
gym, but in the classroom and
throughout life itself. This fun
contest reinforces those val-
ues.”
During the school year,
teachers have been tossing old,
dried-up markers in a desig-
nated box for eventual recy-
cling.  A portion of them was
rescued for the contest.
“It’s amazing to see how
many markers our classrooms
use in a school year,” librarian
Ann O’Rourke observed. “I’m
guessing…well, I really don’t
want to give away my contest
entry, so we’ll just say lots and
lots!”
So how many markers are
in the tank? Good question. A
group of fourth-graders will
soon count them.  Winners will
be announced later this month.
Prizes include certificates for
free books at the Scholastic
book fair to be held in May.  
And a huge thanks to MHS
staff  member Tara Bradford
for loaning the aquarium.

Election
Anne Bauer, Sean Hyland
and Linda Yu were re-elected
to the Middleton-Cross Plains
Area School District Board of
Education on Tuesday.
Hyland ran unopposed in
Area II, which includes the
Village of Cross Plains. He re-
ceived 6,031 votes out of 6,084
votes cast. The results are unof-
ficial until absentee and provi-
sional ballots are also counted
later this week.
“I am grateful for the support

thrilled to be able to continue to
partner with my fellow school
board members on the cur-
rent initiatives and long-term
plans,” Hyland said.
Yu, who currently serves
as the Board’s treasurer, ran
unopposed in Area IV, which
includes the City of Middle-
ton, Town of Westport and the
Town of Middleton. She re-
ceived 6,071 votes out of 6,122
votes cast.
“It’s an honor to be allowed
to serve on the Board of Edu-
cation,’’ Yu said. “We have so
much to be proud of, but there
are challenges, too. I look for-
ward working together with the
wonderful people we have in
our District to overcome these
challenges.’’
Bauer ran against Bartlett
Durand in Area V, which is the

Evergreen Road and extends
north to Schneider Road and
Pleasant View Road on the
east; Enchanted Valley Road
extending south on the west
end; Schneider Road and En-

“I’m grateful to the commu-
nity for their support and look
forward to continued collabo-
ration with MCPASD residents,
staff and administration to en-
hance educational outcomes for
all students,’’ Bauer said.
Bauer was elected to her
third term, while Hyland and
Yu were elected to their second
terms. They will be sworn in
at the next regular meeting on
Monday, April 23.
There are nine members who
make up the Board of Educa-

are up for election. Citizens re-
siding in the areas are invited to
run for the Board of Education
for a three-year term.
Preparing
students for
the future
The following story was
written by eighth-grader Erin
Schleusner as part of a literacy
course by Jean Holman at Kro-
mrey:
The community room at Kro-
mrey Middle School looked
much different than usual on
Feb. 22 as eighth-grade stu-
dents presented career options
to fifth- and sixth-graders at the
school at Kromrey’s inaugural
Future Quest. The careers pre-
sented ranged from photogra-
phers to surgeons.
District eighth-graders had a
very similar experience on Dec.
6 at a regional Future Quest at
the Alliant Energy Center in
Madison. Approximately 5,300
eighth-grade students from the
Madison area spent their time
listening and interacting with
presenters in all 16 career clus-
ters. Students spent around 40
minutes at each station.  These
presentations were part of the
course Academic and Career
Planning (ACP). ACP is in-
tended to equip children with
the tools they need to make
choices about their futures.
Kromrey has offered the course
for more than five years and it is
taught by MacKenzie Swanson.
Students in ACP look at fu-
ture careers, colleges, and re-
al-life financial situations.
Students spent about three
weeks preparing for their own
Future Quest event. They could
choose any career and worked
on in and out of class. They
included information about the
salary, job description, educa-
tion and working conditions of
their career.
Presenters learned mounds of
new information while partici-
pating in this project. They had
the opportunity to look deeper
into their possible future ca-

reers. Not only did they learn
about careers but they worked
on their public speaking and
presentation practice.
Eighth-graders spent spent
46 minutes on Feb. 22 pre-
senting to younger Kromrey
students using interactive ac-
tivities and visuals. Fifth- and
sixth-graders were allowed to
pick which presentations they
heard and which boards to
check out.
“Interactive presentations
are a great way to learn,’’ said
eighth-grader Erin Schleusner,
the author of this story. “Many
times students who are able to
touch and participate get more
out of it than sitting and listen-
ing.’’
She note eighth-graders re-
ceived lots of positive com-
ments from students. 
Eighth-grader Emma Judd
said younger students were
excited and interested in what
they had to say. “Fifth- and
sixth-grade participants learned
so much from the eighth-grad-
ers and had a great time.’’
Added fifth-grader Rita
Vavilov, ¨You know you are
working but you think you are
playing.¨
Swanson was thrilled with
how the events turned out.
“Future Quest was a great
experience for everyone in-
volved,’’ she said Students got
to learn more about careers and
practice presentation skills.
Fifth- and sixth-grade students
got to see a plethora of  career
options. ... The best part was
seeing the students do such a
great job presenting and taking
ownership of their work. They
had a large challenge and met
it and most exceeded that chal-
lenge. It was so fun”.

competition
results
Two teams comprised of
District students competed ad
the Destination Imagination
state tournament at UW-Ste-
vens Point on March 24 and
qualified for Global Finals later
this year.
Charlie Committed the
Crime team took first place
out of 17 teams in the Scien-
tific Challenge and also won
the Instant Challenge at the DI
state tournament. The team was
also awarded the Renaissance
Award, which is given to teams
who demonstrate outstanding
design, engineering, execution,
and performance. The team,
comprised of Glacier Creek
sixth-graders Eric Ma, Corbin
Slinde, Clay Kreimeier, Jack
School News
Dalton and Gia Shah, qualified
for Global Finals in Knoxville,
Tenn. on May 23-26.
DI ACES team took third
place in the Service Learning
Challenge at the Destination
Imagination state tournament.
The team, comprised of MHS
ninth-graders Calvin Slinde,
Sohail Shaik, Arber Jonuzi,
and Poojha Prabaharasundar,
also qualified for Global Finals.
Derren Slinde is the manager
for each team.
Charlie Committed the
Crime chose the Scientific ‘Un-
likely Attraction’ Challenge,
which is one of six open-ended
challenges that require students
to apply science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM),
in addition to improvisation,
theater arts, writing, project
management, communication,
innovation, teamwork and com-
munity service.  The require-
ments of this year’s challenge
are to research and explore
scientific concepts used in the
operation of amusement park
attractions, design and build
an attraction that operates live
during their presentation, create
and present a story that features
an attraction operating in an un-
likely location, and visibly and
audibly represent the unlikely
location. Two team choice ele-
ments are required as well that
showcase the team’s interests,
strengths, and talents.
Their story is about a dwarf’s
journey of self-discovery and
the importance of being true to
yourself. The dwarf worked in
a carnival where he was bul-
lied by Zoltar, a fortune teller.
To Zoltar’s surprise, the dwarf
was actually a leprechaun
named Lucky.  Lucky became
so angry that he put a curse on
Zoltar, transforming him into
a machine and sending him to
a far away land. Lucky left the
carnival using a magic rainbow
to teleport to a new land, where
he came upon a village. The
villagers welcomed him but
he soon discovered that people
were mysteriously disappearing
near the village wishing well.
At the bottom of the wishing
well was none other than Zoltar
the fortune teller.  Destination Imagination
Zoltar was not telling for-
tunes, however. Instead, he
was luring villagers down the
well where he collected their
souls and trapped them onto
inter-dimensional soul cards.
Lucky courageously rescued
the villagers. The wishing well
collapsed onto Zoltar, trapping
him at the bottom of the well
forever. To accomplish the
“trapping of souls onto soul
cards”effect, the Zoltar for-
tune teller attraction uses three
main scientific concepts: lever/
leverage, kinetic energy, and

computer science. When the
operator of Zoltar places a coin
into the fortune teller, Zoltar
turns his head, speaks, waves
his hand over a crystal ball and
proceeds to create a “water vor-
tex” that rises up from the bot-
tom of the wishing well causing
a simple yet dramatic disap-
pearing effect. Team choice
elements were the wishing well
and storybook.   
The requirements of this
year’s Service Learning ‘Inside
Impact’ Challenge that DI Aces
participated in are to choose a
community need, then plan
and carry out a project that ad-
dresses that need. Teams are to
create a live presentation using
artistic and theatrical tech-
niques to portray the project
plan. They must also design and
create a cache storage device,
which will contain everything
the team will use for the presen-
tation. The cache storage device
must visibly transform during
the presentation showing the
progression of the project from
plan through implementation.
Teams must also create info-
graphics depicting the quali-
tative and/or quantitative data
collected by the team about the
community need. Team choice
elements were 1) a giant iPhone
and 2) a unique interpretative
clarinet version of Songbird.
The final competitive el-
ement at tournaments is the
‘Instant Challenge’. Team
members are presented a chal-
lenge, oftentimes with mate-
rials, that they must solve in a
short period of time (usually 5
minutes). Teams are required
to engage in quick, creative and
critical thinking. Appraisers as-
sess the team’s performance on
the team challenge (including
the ‘team choice elements’) and
instant challenge to determine
awards and placement.
This year, 150,000 students
have participated in tourna-
ments throughout the United
States and 30 countries in hopes
of earning a spot at the Global
Finals.  More than 1,400 teams
will compete at Global Finals,
the world’s largest celebration
of student creativity.

Report explores link between taxes and new consruction

WISCONSIN–In 2006,
when Wisconsin policymakers
first adopted legislation link-
ing property tax limits on local
governments to growth in new
construction, rates of growth
were relatively strong. Now, 12
years later, according to a new
report by the Wisconsin Policy
Forum, that is not the case, in
fact, most cities and villages are
experiencing growth rates of
less than 1.5 percent annually.
In Changing Patterns of New
Construction, Forum research-
ers explore new construction
trends across Wisconsin and
analyze factors that may be
contributing to growth or de-
cline. The report is the first in
a two-part series on property
tax limits. A second report, to
be released next month, will
examine the impacts these
limits have had on munic-
ipal finances and services.
The new report finds that in
the year levy limits were enact-
ed, the statewide rate of new
construction was 2.8 percent,
middle of the previous decade.
The report notes that during
most of these years, munici-
palities were protected some-
what by “floors” in the state’s
levy limit law. For example, in
2006 and 2007, in municipali-
ties and counties that experi-
enced new construction rates of
less than 2 percent, levies still
in new construction growth
across municipalities and
counties statewide, and that
most municipalities are not
achieving the statewide av-
erage. For example, less than
20 percent of municipalities
statewide experienced growth
of 2 percent in 2017, while
only 28 percent achieved
ed at least one tax incremen-
tal district in 2011 or after.

ing Patterns of New Con-
struction, is available now

Lost dogs
On April 23, the U.S. will
celebrate its fifth annual Na-
tional Lost Dog Awareness
Day (NLDAD). This ca-
nine-focused awareness day
was created by Lost Dogs of
America to bring attention to
the multitude of dogs that go
missing from their homes, each
and every day, while providing
resources and hope to reunite
them.
In the world of animal advo-
cacy, adoption efforts of home-
less dogs in shelters and rescues
are the focuses of the group.
National Lost Dog Awareness
Day places a new focus on lost
pets and reminds the public
that “Not All Stray Dogs Are
Homeless”. An estimated 40
to 60 percent of stray animals
in shelters are actually lost pets
who really don’t need a new
home. They just need some
help to get back to their own
home. Increased awareness of
lost pets helps reduce stress on
owners through hope and re-
sources, and works towards re-
ducing intake and shelter deaths
at shelters and animal control
facilities.

Middleton splits the difference
MHS falls in
‘Strike Out
Cancer’ game
BY ADAM HATLAN
For the Times-Tribune
For the fifth consecutive
year, Big Eight Conference
rivals Middleton and Sun
Prairie faced off for their
“Cardinals Strike Out Cancer”
baseball game in an effort
to raise money for pediatric
cancer research. Each year
the teams have raised more
than $10,000 to benefit the
American Family Children’s
Hospital.
The chilly temperatures
did not stop fans from coming
out in droves last Thursday to
Middleton to support the cause
again this year, as the teams,
sponsors, and fans raised in
excess of $10,000 once again.
Cancer survivor Matt Esser,
who is currently a junior in the
MIddleton baseball program,
threw out the first pitch for
Middleton. Eighteen-month
old Rylee Payne, who is cur-
rently battling neuroblastoma,
threw out the first pitch along
with her parents Kate and Tyler
Payne. Each team also had a
bat-kid representative, with
kindergartener Ilya Levchenko
representing Middleton and
second-grader Olivia Diaz rep-
resenting Sun Prairie.
“I’ve been very happy
with how this game has come
along in the benefit part,” said
Middleton coach Tom Schmitt
about the fundraising efforts.
“One of the bigger things I saw
this year was even before we

BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Sun Prairie began the year
ranked No. 5 by the Wisconsin
Baseball Yearbook.
Brady Schmitt wasn’t
impressed.
Schmitt, a senior pitcher
at Middleton, hurled a com-
plete-game, two-hit shutout last
Wednesday and led MHS to a
4-0 win over host Sun Prairie.
Schmitt struck out five, didn’t
walk a batter and threw strikes
on 57 of 85 pitches (67.1%).
“Brady was very effective
in spotting his pitches down
in the zone and moved them
in and out,” said Middleton
manager Tom Schmitt, who is
also Brady’s father. “Their hit-
ters are aggressively hunting
the fastball and that feeds in to
Brady’s game plan as a pitcher. 
“He is effective with chang-
ing speeds with good move-
ment.  He understands how to
set up hitters and stayed ahead
in most counts. No walks were
also a key to keeping their run-
ners off base.”
Schmitt had a perfect game
working through five innings,
facing the minimum of 15 bat-
ters. But Sun Prairie’s Luke
DePrey led off the sixth inning
with a base hit to center field to
break up the no-hitter and the
perfect game with one swing.
Schmitt retired the next
three Sun Prairie batters to
escape any potential damage.

Buss, Ashley Bindl and CC

“West is much improved,”
Middleton coach Perry Hibner
said. “Ari Balas is a very nice
pitcher. They didn’t have their
best game in the field, but
you can see they have some
talent.”
Buza, meanwhile, was
effective on the mound,
allowing just three hits over
four innings. Buza threw just
63 pitches and allowed only
one runner to reach third base.

It was cold.
It was windy.
In general, it was miserable
— except for the final result.
Middleton’s girls track and
field team rolled past visiting
Beloit Memorial, 107-34, last
Tuesday on a brutal night. The
Cardinals gave a strong per-
formance despite the fact the
nasty spring hasn’t allowed
them much practice time out-
doors.
“This spring weath-
er is making it very tough
to get in the technique time
needed to perform at a high
level,” Middleton coach Cory
Christnovich said. “But that is
not stopping our team.”
The Cardinals finished first
in 13 of 17 events.
Sitori Tanin set a per-
sonal-best in the high jump
with a leap of 5-feet. Tanin
also won the 100-meter hur-
dles in 17.84 seconds. Noell
Jellison won the 100-meter
dash (13.88), Molly Gaab won
the 200-meter dash (29.2) and
Charlotte Sue won the 800
(2:35.0).

Sarah Foley won the 1,600-

talked about doing the game,
there were three or four of our
players that asked if we were
going to do it. It meant a lot
to the kids to be in a game
like this, especially with as
many kids and family members
they’ve seen been affected by
cancer.”
Schmitt, along with long-
time friend and Sun Prairie
coach Rob Hamilton, start-
ed the fundraising game five
years ago in hopes of bringing
awareness to pediatric cancer.
“To be able to play and
honor some of these people
affected by cancer and rec-
ognize them and raise some
money is the big thing,”
Hamilton said of the fundrais-
ing game. “Tom is the one that
came up with the idea for the
game. It’s a great event.”
The game itself was a doozy
as the teams needed extra
innings to determine a victor.
Sun Prairie survived a late rally
to beat Middleton 6-5 in nine
innings.
Sun Prairie, ranked No.
1 in Division 1, improved to
2-1 overall, 1-1 Big Eight.
Middleton fell to 4-2, 1-1.
Middleton had defeated Sun
Prairie 4-0 the night before to
split the series.
“It was a great Big Eight
game, great early season test
for us,” Schmitt said. “It stings
a little bit for the kids, and
that’s good. As competitors
you want them to understand
what they had right in the
clutches of their hands.”
Taylor Jansen picked up
the win for Sun Prairie, going
six strong innings in relief, as
Sun Prairie overcame six errors
committed by its defense.
Derek Reisdorf took the loss
for Middleton, pitching five
innings in relief. Middleton
had chances to put more runs
on the board, but stranded 13
baserunners.
Sun Prairie got on the
board in the first inning, as Ty
Hamilton scored from third on
a Joe Hauser RBI groundout to
make it 1-0.
Middleton took advantage
of four Sun Prairie errors in
the bottom of the second, three
by pitcher Jack Zander. Noah
Casali and Dylan Carrington
both scored from second on
sacrifice bunt attempts in
which Zander sailed the throws
to first. Cooper Holewinski
advanced to second after a third
Zander throwing error to first,
and Nolan Kelliher smacked an
RBI single to score Holewinski
to make it 3-1.
Sun Prairie got a run back in
the third after a solo home run
by freshman Liam Moreno to
make it 3-2, then tied it in the
top of the fifth when Moreno
scored on a Zander sac fly.
Middleton answered in the
fifth when Joel Ticknor, cour-
tesy running for Zach Shipley,
stole second, advanced to third
on a pitch in the dirt, and scored
on a Carrington squeeze bunt
to give Middleton a 4-3 lead.
Sun Prairie came right back
to tie it in the sixth, as Jacob
Powley scored on a Jansen
two-out single to make it 4-4.
Neither team scored in the
seventh to force extra innings,
though both teams had a chance
to end it in the eighth.
In the top half of the inning,
Middleton was able to escape
a Sun Prairie threat by turn-
ing a dramatic double play.
Sun Prairie’s Kyle Connell was
attempting to bunt with team-
mate Alex Oakley on first, but
the bunt was popped up and

pitcher Luke Ballweg made
a running catch that caught
the runner on first off-guard,
allowing Ballweg to fire to first
and complete the double play.
Middleton had a golden
opportunity in the bottom half
of the inning as it loaded the
bases with only one out. Sun
Prairie first basemen Kyle
Connell made a game-saving
diving stop on a sharp ground
ball, throwing home for the
second out. Middleton was one
pitch away from winning it as
Carsen Schulz worked a 3-2
count, but he flew out to right
field to end the scoring chance.
Middleton committed its
only two errors in the ninth,
as Jansen advanced to third on
errors by Reisdorf and Shipley
after walking to lead off the
inning. Jansen scored on a Ty
Hamilton sacrifice fly, and
Carson Holin hit a solo home
run to give Sun Prairie a 6-4
cushion.
Middleton rallied in
the bottom half of the ninth
after Nolan Dahlk scored on
a Holewinski RB single, and
Holewinski advanced to sec-
ond on a fielding error by the
center fielder. But Sun Prairie
was able to escape the threat
and leave with a 6-5 win.
“Early in the season when
you haven’t been tested you
say ‘ok, let’s see if we can be
mentally tough.’ If you want
to be a great team, you have to
make great plays and be men-
tally tough,” said Hamilton of
the tense eighth inning for Sun
Prairie. “Kyle Connell dove to
his right and threw home and
got the force out (in the eighth
inning) ... really happy with the
way our kids responded with
some of our defensive plays.”
Schmitt was happy

Middleton baseball coach Tom Schmitt (top) talks to his team during a game against Sun Prairie last Thursday. Above,
Middleton’s Nolan Kelliher tags out a Sun Prairie base runner.
WIN
Sun Prairie also had a lead-
off single in the seventh, but
Schmitt came back to retire the
next three batters there, as well.
Sun Prairie had just one
batter advance as far as sec-
ond base as Schmitt dominated
from start to finish.
“When they put the ball in
play, not many were barreled
up and the defense made some
nice plays as well as the rou-
tine plays,” Tom Schmitt said.
“(Third baseman) Noah Casali
made a few nice plays to record
assists.  then Ballweg ripped an RBI
“Pitching a perfect game
through five innings was a
good start to the game. Brady
kept his pitch count down by
inducing them to swing at
pitches while the timing of the
Sun Prairie hitters was off and
he was ahead in the count.”
Middleton took a 1-0 lead in
the bottom of the first. Nolan
Kelliher led off the game with
a base hit to right field and later
scored on a single by Luke
Ballweg.
It stayed that way until the
top of the fifth when Middleton
struck for two more runs and
increased its lead to 3-0.
With two outs, Kelliher
lined a single to center field.
Alan Roden drove a triple to
right field that scored Kelliher,
single to right that plated
Roden.
Middleton added an insur-
ance run in the seventh and
once again did all of its damage
with two outs.
Roden started the rally with
Times-Tribune photos by Mary Langenfeld
a single to left, then Ballweg
walked. Carsen Schulz singled
to center field to score Roden
and give Middleton a 4-0 lead.
“Our hitters took a good
approach into the game and
stuck with it,” Tom Schmitt
said.  “We knew Oakley was
predominately a fastball pitch-
er. When he had some con-
trol issues and fell behind in
counts we were able to put
good swings on pitches in the
zone.  The top of the order all
produced.  Sun Prairie ............ 000 000 0 — 0 2 3
“Nolan Kelliher was crucial
in the leadoff spot, as he ignit-
ed two of our scoring innings
with sharp singles. Alan Roden
(two hits, one RBI) was his
normal self, patient at the plate.
Luke Ballweg had two clutch,
run scoring singles.   
continued from page 11
“When we had guys in scor-
ing position  we got them in.
Very good road win for our
team.  We put together three
of the four parts of a good
game of baseball. The mental
mistakes on the bases will get
cleared up. When you are clean
in the other areas and get the
hitting you can cover up a cou-
ple mistakes.”

Tennis Cards play well
in loss to Marquette
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Milwaukee Marquette has
won 10 of the last 11 WIAA
Division 1 boys tennis state
team championships.
In every way, shape and
form the Hilltoppers are the
gold standard for tennis excel-
lence across the state.
Middleton tested itself
against the best last Friday
when it traveled to North Shore
Elite Club in Milwaukee. And
even though Marquette toppled
the Cardinals, 6-1, Middleton
felt awfully good about how
it played.
“Everyone came out fir-
ing and going for their shots,”
Middleton coach Kalla
Schaefer said. “Players were
smart about making some tacti-
cal adjustments to try and gain
some ground.”
Middleton junior Ryan
Gold, the Cardinals’ No.
1 singles player, notched an
impressive 7-6 (8), 6-1 win
over Marquette’s Nick Yang.
Gold fell behind, 3-0, in the
first set, but won 13 of the
next 17 games and the first set
tiebreaker.
“(Ryan) kept a positive out-
look throughout the match,”
Schaefer said. “He played
solid, using his quickness and
aggressive forehands to keep
Yang off balance and out of
position.”
At No. 2 singles,
Marquette’s Josh Guillermo
defeated Middleton freshman
Gene Kim, 6-2, 6-0.
“(Gene) came out hitting
big and was finding corners,”
Schaefer said. “His opponent
then hit his stride in the first
set and was able to maintain
control of the match.”
Marquette’s Richard
Balistreri defeated Middleton
senior Nitin Somersandaram,
6-0, 6-4, at No. 3 singles.
“(Nitin) got off to a slow
start in the first set, but got
off to a 4-1 lead in second
set by playing consistently and
wearing down his opponent,”
Schaefer said. “He didn’t play
quite as consistently at the end
of the set.”
And at No. 4 singles,
Marquette’s Noah White
toppled Cardinals senior
Kunwarjit Singh, 6-1, 6-1.
“(Kunwarjit) was up against
one of the toughest No. 4
singles players in the state,”
Schaefer said. “He would play
No. 1 at many schools. Kunwar
used a variety of tactics and
played smart. Again, many
close games. His opponent was
just too strong.”
At No. 1 doubles,
Marquette’s Noah Guillermo
and Rob May defeated
Middleton’s Sam Dettman and
Rafael Sanga, 6-1, 6-2. And at
No. 2, the Hilltoppers’ Logan
Homberg and Jake Stockhausen
toppled Middleton’s Brandon
Bodak and Alton Yan, 6-1, 6-2.
“One and two doubles
both played well, but were
up against very tough oppo-
nents with big serves, pow-
erful ground (strokes) and
players who closed well at the
net,” Schaefer said. “Both our
Middleton’s Ryan Gold defeated Marquette’s Nick Yang last Friday.
Middleton teams were in every
game, a lot of deuces, being
aggressive at the net and going
for shots.”
At No. 3 doubles,
Marquette’s Rehan Dhala
and Evan Roge downed
Middleton’s Akshay Kelshiker
and Jordan Cheng, 7-5, 6-1.
“Akshay debuted with his
first varsity match,” Schaefer
said. “He teamed up with
Jordan Cheng and they gave
Marquette all they could han-
dle in the first set. They were
serving and returning well.
They were cracking shots at
Marquette’s feet and looked
confidant and on it. It was tight
the whole way.”

ble to Carmen Lynch in the
fifth, but got Kacy Cotharn to
groundout to Bindl at third to
end the game.
“Our pitchers threw strikes
and our fielders were clean in
the field,” Hibner said. “We’ll
take that every game.”
Middleton scored one run
in the first on two-out singles
by Jessica Parente and Olivia
Hebert. Rachael Roberts
then ripped a shot that West
third baseman Mirra Blehert
couldn’t handle, which
allowed Parente to score.
Middleton took control
with a five-run third inning
that featured six hits, one error
and a couple of mistakes on
the bases.
Hebert led off the inning
with a rocket over West center
fielder Kallie Buscemi’s head.
Hebert was safe at third and
took off for home when the
ball got by Blehert. The throw
beat Hebert, but she slid under
the tag.
“That would have easi-
ly cleared the fence if we
were playing at Firefighters,”
Hibner said, noting the fences
at Orchid Heights are at 230
feet, 30 feet longer than at
FFMP. “It was nice to see
Olivia aggressively running
the bases, but we also need
to find a balance as getting
thrown out to start an inning
is never a good thing.”
Roberts followed with a
single up the middle and Sam
Williams reached one out later
on a bloop single to right.
Buza then laid down a nice
bunt and beat out the throw.
Roberts tried to score on the
play and was called out at
home.
“Just a mix-up in com-
munication,” Hibner said.
“Rachael thought she heard
me say go. Luckily, we were
able to overcome it.”
That’s because Hiorns fol-
lowed with a single to left
to score Williams. Buss fol-
lowed with a single to sec-
ond to score Buza. Bindl then
ripped a two-run double to
center to make it 6-0.
Middleton put the game
away with five runs in the
fourth on three hits, three
errors, and a bases-loaded
walk to Buss.
“We kept putting the ball in
play and putting a lot of pres-
sure on their defense,” Hibner
said. “We are quite a bit faster
than we have been the past
two years and it’s fun to see
the girls fly around the bases.”
One day later, Parker rallied
for two runs in the bottom of
the seventh inning and edged
the Cardinals, 5-4. Julianna
Getka’s single to right cen-
ter field scored Chelsea Naber
with the winning run.
Middleton had rallied to
take a 4-3 lead in the sixth.
Ashley Bindl singled to right

Middleton had a chance to
increase its lead in the sev-
enth when Sam Williams led
off with a walk, but Ellie
Buza wasn’t able to get a bunt
down and pinch-hitter Rachel
Kirch-Whitmore struck out.
Brianna Buss followed with a
smash that was caught by left
fielder Rebecca Vincetich to
end the inning.
