City budget hearingtakes place next week
With the deadline to finalize the
2014 budget quickly approaching, cityleaders continue to grapple with ad-
dressing financial constraints and sus-taining programs.
Recent Middleton Common Councilmeetings focused on determining 2014
priorities within the limitations of thecurrent economic climate.
The need to balance necessary citymaintenance costs, support community
projects, and finance numerous con-struction plans strained officials strug-
gling to decide what objectives aremost essential for Middletons prosper-
ity. The result, according to the latestnumbers, will likely be another mill
rate increase for local taxpayers.Local issues such as weekend bus
operation, sidewalk and road recon-struction, as well as youth program-
ming all faced the chopping block.While conversations surrounding
budget priorities emphasized the im-portance of protecting city services,
how leaders would preserve publicamenities, move forward with con-
struction, and maintain programming

At the latest Middleton Plan Com-
mission meeting the city moved for-ward on a couple proposed
developments.There will be a discussion with a
public hearing on a proposed ordinancefor creating a conservation subdivi-
sion. This ordinance would affect thedevelopment of the proposed Pleasant
View Ridge subdivision. There willalso be a public hearing for a condi-
tional use permit local businessmanBuzz Menz needs for converting aproperty of his into a boat building
school.The conservation subdivision ordi-
nance spells out the procedures for fu-ture land development in the city. It
would play a key-role in the outcomeof the 164-acre Pleasant View Ridge
subdivision. In mid-September thecouncil approved annexation of theland while insisting that the approval is
in no way an approval for any furtherdevelopment.
The decision sparked public outcryand comments from environmental ad-
vocate organizations. The neighbor-hood would use community and
individual septic tanks despite countyofficials strong efforts in recent yearsto prevent any new developments from
utilizing septic tank systems. Theclaim is that they give way to sprawl
because they are free from routing tocity plumbing.
This makes developers less likely todo in-fill or rebuilding as it is often
more costly, claim critics. There arealso concerns that septic tanks may
leak hazardous materials and chemi-cals into the Black Earth Creek water-
shed.Middleton planning director Eileen
Kelley noted the ordinance may needmore review.
We might as well, agreed Mayor
Kurt Sonnentag. It could not hurt.The commission voted unanimouslyto set a public hearing and refer the or-
dinance to the Public Works Commit-tee, Water Resources Management
Commission, Sustainability Commit-tee, and Parks/Recreation/Forestry
Commission. The hearing is set forTuesday, December 10 at 7:15 p.m.
Approval of the ordinance would be
contingent upon whether it endurespublic scrutiny as well as the revisions
and approval from the various boardsand committees.
Another public hearing was set for aconditional use permit Buzz Menz
hopes to attain so he can establish aboat building school on his Middleton
property.Mr. Menz has explained to me that
as he eases into retirement he has ahobby with boat building he wants to
expand and teach other people how tobuild these boats, said Mark Opitz, as-
sistant city planning director. He
wants to do a 720 square foot additionto the garage.The hearing will take place the same
date as the ordinance hearing on Tues-day, December 10 at the time of 7:05

City honors Boehmkes contributions
At last weeks Middleton Common
Council meeting, the City of Middletonremembered Louan Mike Boehmke,
who passed on November 18.A Milwaukee native and graduate of
the NW Institute of Medical Technol-ogy in Minneapolis, MN, Boehmke
made her mark on the Good NeighborCity by serving as a charter member of
the Volunteer Middleton EmergencyMedical Service (MEMS). Boehmke
continued on as a regular MEMS
backup for 27 years and often re-
sponded from her home or job to fill
the first or second ambulance crew.She was a cornerstone during the
first chapter of MEMS, serving as a
mentor for many and a friend to all.She humbly donated her time and sup-
port to the MEMS organization and ex-emplified all of the compassionate
traits of the emergency medical profes-sion, stated Mayor Sonnentag. She
helped preserve life, alleviate suffer-ing, promote health and safety in the
community and show respect forhuman dignity.
The City honored Boehmkes mem-
ory by issuing a proclamation declar-
ing November 21st to be LouanMike Boehmke Day.
In the City of Middleton, and we
urge all Middleton area citizens tohonor her memory as a trusted public
servant for the community while wepass along our condolences and well
wishes to her family and friends. Wejoin them in mourning the loss of this
great life which was lived in the truespirit of the Good Neighbor City,
reads the City proclamation.
Decisions made by the Common
Council at last weeks meeting:
- The City approved a purchaseagreement for the Department ofTransportation site for the Municipal
Operations Center. The DOT is sellingthe property as is and the staff be-
lieved that an environmental study isnot needed to necessitate the purchase.
A Park and Ride maintenance agree-ment with the DOT was also approved
as an appendix to the aforementionedpurchase agreement.
- The Council considered a redevel-opment site access concept which
would link High Point Road with the
property north of the railroad tracks
and west of the Highway 12 Beltline.Developer Jeff Kraemer expressed in-terest in building a multi-family hous-
ing development at this location. Whileno construction plans were made on
Tuesday, City Administrator MikeDavis urged the Councils approval so
that this project can be added in withthe 2014 Terrace Avenue Project fund-
ing.- A request to fill the vacant Public
Works Engineering Technician posi-tion was approved.

Want to
helpthose
in need
over theholidays?
When most Middletonians think of
the holidays, their thoughts tend to veertoward warm memories of family shar-ing a spectacular home-cooked meal,
and of course, gifts spilling out frombeneath an ornate tree.
But for many friends and neighbors,the holidays mean something entirely
different. For many, this time of yearcarries an unmanageable financial and
emotional burden. Children and par-ents alike go without gifts, and many
go without food.Middleton Outreach Ministry
(MOM) would like to change that real-ity for hundreds of families in its serv-
ice area, and everyone in thecommunity is invited to help.
Ways to help
Run a Holiday Food Drive. Gather
your friends, family, and collect food
to stock our Food Pantry. Especially
needed this year are hams.
Purchase gifts for a family
through the Sharing Christmas Pro-
gram. Donor individuals or groups are
matched with a family for whom they
purchase gifts. In its 14th year, the pro-
gram matches donors with hundreds of
local families who have successfully
registered through MOM. Each family
will be screened and will be matched
with donors who are willing and able
to spend $50 per family member to en-
sure that each receives something spe-cial for the holidays. Donors may
deliver their gifts directly to the family
with whom they have been matched or
may drop them off at the MOM office
for the family to pick up. Register on-
line!
Assemble a Baking Kit. Include
your favorite Christmas Cookie recipe
and all of the ingredients and tools
needed to bake them. You can bring
your kits to the Distribution Center
during their regular business hours. A
list of kit items and other needed kits
can be found online.
Join MOM at the Creating for
Causes: Holiday Art Fair, which will
take place December 7 & 8, 2013, atthe MOM Distribution Center.
Shop MOMs new Gift Catalog for
all gift-giving needs. Connect your
wish to honor friends, family or busi-
ness associates with a gift that MOM
links to those in need.
Donate Warm Clothing, Linens,
Bedding and Blankets, and other
Winter Gear to the Distribution
Center.
You can find out more about all of
these opportunities and more at holi-
days.momhelps.org.

Beginning November 28, theMiddleton Fire Department will be
initiating its holiday fire safetyprogram, Keep the Wreath Green.
To encourage Middleton FireDistrict residents to have a fire safe
holiday season and develop fire safetyawareness regarding holiday
decorations, the Middleton FireDepartment will hang a wreath on the
outside of both Fire Stations. Theprogram will conclude on January 1,
2014.The holiday wreath, decorated with
green lights, will be symbolic of a
holiday season free from accidentalfires related to holiday decorations. Ifthe Middleton Fire Department
responds to a fire attributed to holidaydecorations, a light in the wreath will
be changed from green to red.
Christmas TreesChristmas trees can be a beautiful
symbol of the holiday season.Unfortunately, they can also be deadly.
Do not let this holiday season leaveyou homeless from a fire because you
and your family did not practice firesafety. Here are a few safety tips to
keep you and your family from beinga fire statistic this holiday season:
* Natural trees should be cut flat at
the base and placed in water.* Check for freshness.
* A fresh tree is deep green in colorand has a strong sent of pine.
* The needles of a fresh tree arehard to pull from branches and do not
readily fall from the branches;moreover, the branches should bend
easily.* The trunk of a fresh tree is also
sticky with resin, and when tapped onthe ground, the tree should not
lose many needles.* Trees should be securely fastened
in the holder.* Keep the tree in an area away
from a radiator, fireplace, or other heat
sources.* Place the tree out of the way of
traffic and do not block doorways.
* Because heated rooms dry livetrees out rapidly, be sure to keep the
stand filled with water. Wateryour tree often.
* When the tree becomes dry,discard it promptly. Do not store the
tree on the balcony of yourapartment or near your home
* Never put tree branches in afireplace or wood-burning stove.
Lights* Indoors or outside, use only lights
that have been tested for safety by a
recognized testing laboratory,
which indicates conformance withsafety standards.
* Do not overload outlets. Be carefulhow many items you plug into a
receptacle.* Check each set of lights, new or
old, for broken or cracked sockets,frayed or bare wires, or loose
connections, and throw out damagedsets. Do not use damaged lights.
* Use no more than three standard-size sets of lights per single extension
cord* Do not knot or tangle the wires.
* Do not leave lights on unattended.* Use only lights designated for
outdoor use, outdoors.
Fake Trees* When purchasing an artificial
tree, look for the label Fire Resistant.Although this label does not mean
the tree will not catch fire, it doesindicate the tree will resist
burning and should extinguish quickly.* Never use faulty or damaged
electric lights on a metallic tree. Thetree can become charged with
electricity from faulty lights, and aperson touching a branch could be
electrocuted.* Always follow the same safety
tips listed above regarding decorations.
Using these simple rules coupled
with common sense will lead your
family through a happy holiday season
and help prevent a tragedy from
happening in your home. The holiday
season is a time for special celebrations
among families and friends. The
Middleton Fire Department wants you
to enjoy the holiday season safely.
If you have any questions regarding
fire safety, please call the Middleton
Fire Department at 827-1090 and we
will be glad to assist you.

Town leaders, EMS director work toward new contract
Avoid holiday blazes to help Keep the Wreath Green
Steve Wunsch, city of Middleton
Emergency Medical Services director,updated the Middleton Town Board
last week on drafting a new agreementbetween the town and city to replace
the 34-year-old EMS contract.The existing contract is ancient and
no longer relevant, Wunsch told theboard.
A draft contract was nearly com-pleted but was on a computer that crash
halting further work until the documentcan be restored, he said.
The town paid $182,000 this yearfor EMS provided by the city and the
cost next year should be nearly un-changed, Wunsch said.
The increasing cost of EMS and de-creasing communications between the
town and Middleton EMS has the
board looking at Ryan Brother Ambu-lance Service as a possible provider.
Town Administrator David Shaw
said it is too late to change EMSproviders for 2014 and a little early for
2015, but its better to be early thanlate.
Nothing has been decided yet,Shaw said Tuesday.
Middleton EMS serves the city andtown of Middleton and part of the town
of Springfield. Its annual operatingbudget is approximately $1.5 million
but collects much of its operating rev-enue in user fees paid by individuals
and insurance companies, said Wun-sch.
The three municipalities in the EMSdistrict contribute between 33-40 per-
cent of the districts budget and the
town of Middletons annual contractcontributes about 24 percent of thattotal, Wunsch has said.
As it considers renewing the EMScontract, the town board has talked to
Ryan Brothers Ambulance Service inan effort to control its EMS annual
cost.The towns portion of its EMS cost
is based on its population relative to thedistrict. Board members asked how the
cost would change it if was based onassessed property evaluation or call
volume by municipality.There would be little difference in
cost to the town since assessed evalua-tion and population track closely, said
Wunsch.A bigger change would result if
EMS cost was based on call volume
because of the EMS districts approxi-mate 1,500 annual calls only 132 weregenerated within the town.
While about 55 percent of EMScosts are recovered from users or their
insurers, Town Chair Milo Breunigsaid the cost recovery percentage was
probably higher in the town due to itsdemographics.
We have 18 people in the town inelderly housing. I think that deserves a
little consideration, he said.However, when calculating EMS
expense after netting out revenue fromusers, fewer calls can mean more costs
to the town, Wunsch notes.
Call volume for the two Middleton
EMS ambulances could reach 1,650
this year, but labor and equipment ex-
pense continues when the ambulances
are not in use. Those down time costsneed to be recovered through one basis
or another, Wunsch said.
EMS costs are borne by users and
taxpayers. The city of Middleton sets
costs charged to EMS users. Tradition-
ally, EMS is operated with roughly 33
to 40 percent of its costs paid by tax-
payers and the balance from users, he
said.
Compared to other services, were
on the high end to keep costs accept-
able to taxpayers, he said.
The town would negotiate a new
contract with the city, said Wunsch.

Pasta Nuovo: A place for culinary adventurers
Long before John Marks was exec-
utive chef at Pasta Nuovo in downtown
Middleton, he was a young culinary
student who would intentionally mean-
der through poor neighborhoods on his
way home from work in San Francisco.
I would catch the trolley and pur-
posely walk back through the bad side
of town so I could go into all the shops
in Chinatown, recalls Marks. Idshop for new ingredients all the way
home.
That sense of adventure has perme-
ated Marks life in the business of food,
as he has inhabited the kitchens of in-
timate fine restaurants and large-scale
institutions and resorts. From veal
mouse to Carpaccio with truffles and
black Hawaiian salt, from North Car-
olina to California, he knows his way
around a kitchen.
Sipping the sudsy head off of a rich
amber Autumnal Fire beer, Marks
looks right at home overseeing the re-
cently opened Pasta Nuovo, which of-
fers something genuinely new in a
community known for its glut of food
options, not all of them very good.
His Beef Osso Bucco featuresbraised shanks from local farms laid
over creamy polenta. The Wood
Roasted Chickens poultry aroma min-
gles with the smell of a blazing wood
oven that runs perpetually in the
kitchen. Many types of pasta are made
by hand, as are meatballs and sausages.
The menu is eclectic, including fig
prosciutto pizza and a wide range of
seafood.
A burly chef with an emphatic tenor,
Marks doesnt look like the sentimental
type. But when it comes to the protein
he serves, he is unabashed about his
feelings.
I know it sounds hokey, he says,
but when you cook and eat meat, I
think its important to never forget that
an animal gave its life. Thats why we
focus on locally-sourced, organic in-
gredients, and thats why were so ded-
icated to the whole-animal
philosophy.
Marks takes his food so seriously
that he removed all of the salt shakers
from Pasta Nuovos tables when the
restaurant first opened, in what was a
short-lived attempt to encourage diners
to actually taste their dishes before
dousing them with sodium chloride.
I realize now that it made it seem

FFASHIONASHION
Whats the big idea?
The average woman in the United
States is a size 14, according to some
studies. So why are most fashion de-
signers seemingly bent on making
clothing that would be snug even on a
Dickensian waif?
Zoe Schuler, owner of Z.Bella Bou-tique, thinks it has a lot to do with a
stereotype.
Something like 67 percent of
women are a size 14 or higher, yet the
fashion industry simply doesnt cater
to those women, she said. I think the
reason is they believe, for whatever
reason, that plus-size women dont
want to be fashionable.
Schuler and fellow shop owner Mar-
vel Felton, who happens to be her
mother, are out to prove the stereotypewrong.
Their goal is to provide women fash-
ionable, flattering and well-made
clothing sizes 12 and up. Z.Bella car-
ries exclusive brands not found any-
where else. The shop has everything

Bundle Up!Tis the season for hats, mittens,
coats, scarves, and even boots! Soon,well be digging out snow pants and
long underwear. Brace yourself for thechilly winter weather by checking out
a few books about outerwear!
Simms Tabacks Caldecott Awardwinning book, Joseph Had a Little
Overcoat, has been delighting readersfor over twenty years. The story is
about Joseph, the owner of a worn-outovercoat. When the coat gets too
shabby to wear, he makes it into ajacket. The resourceful Joseph contin-
ues to turn the ever-shrinking remain-
der of the overcoat into something use-
ful. When hes finally left with just abutton, readers may think theres noth-
ing else to make but Joseph has asurprise in store! Clever illustrations
featuring die-cut holes, each of which
becomes a key part of the illustrationon the following page, make this bookan enduring favorite.
The most recent Caldecott Awardwas also given to a book about outer-

a big confession: the hat hes wearingisnt his! He took it from a big, sleep-
ing fish. The little fish knows thiscould spell trouble for him, but hes
convinced that the big fish wont haveany idea what happened to his hat.
Hes sure hell never get caught. The
hat was too small for the big fish any-
way, or so rationalizes the little fish.Meanwhile, readers are clued in to the
approaching big fish. I wont giveaway the ending, but I will tell you that
the big fish swims away with his hat on
his head. Simple text, lots of subtlehumor, and illustrations that flow to-gether like water make this a great
choice for sharing.In Red Knit Cap Girl by Naoko
Stoop, readers are introduced to RedKnit Cap Girl, who lives in an en-
chanted forest with her friends, all ofwhom are animals. The forest is a
wonderful place to live, and there isplenty to see and do, but what Red Knit
Cap Girl really desires is the ability totalk to the moon. With the help of her
owl friend, she realizes that she isprobably too far away from the moon
to talk to it. She has no way to get tothe moon; can she possibly entice the
moon to come closer to her? This book
is charming and thoughtful, featuringrich, natural colors. Good news for
fans of this book:Red Knit Cap Girl to
the Rescue was published on Novem-
ber 5 of this year.
The Mitten by Jan Brett is a classicwinter story about a stray mitten andthe new life it takes on. One by one,
forest animals find the mitten andsnuggle inside. First a mole burrows
in, then a rabbit, a hedgehog, and sev-eral more, including a bear. The final
animal to find a cranny in the alreadyovercrowded mitten is a little mouse,
who just might be the one to stretch themitten past its limits. Bretts signature
detailed illustrations with borders pro-vide hints about the story beyond the
text. Look for additional retellings ofthis classic tale, including Alvin Tres-
selts well known version.

A Thankful
HeartIn October, I led a four week jour-
naling workshop for members of theFirst Unitarian Society (FUS) in Madi-
son. The title of the workshop wasJournaling Your Way to Joy.
Writing has been a huge part of mylife since I was a child. My inspiration
was the Diary of Anne Frank. Early en-tries chronicled the every day happen-
ings of my life, true diary form.For a very brief period I drove my
mother crazy by starting a Three-Di-mensional Diary.
I collected things from special daysto remind me of the event.
We lived in a first floor flat withoutmuch extra room. On top of that, my
mother was an immaculate, clutter-freehousekeeper. The Three-Dimensional
Diary was a very short-lived phase.
Later I wrote more about my feel-ings, journaling to release the ups and
downs of life as a teenager. There werea lot of poems tucked between the en-
tries, mostly about love or lack thereof.I filled volume after volume during
my late forties and early fifties. It wasa time of incredible change and loss.
In a period of several years, my onlychild went to college four hours away,
my mother died after a long battle withcancer, the dog that I loved for fourteen
years died, the rural school that I taughtat, also for fourteen years, closed, and
I divorced my husband and friend oftwenty-six years.
I wrote to reflect, and as a means ofmaking sense of everything that was
happening.It was during that time, that I discov-
ered the healing and empowering prac-tice of gratitude journaling.
One night, I was feeling desperatelysad and lonely. It was almost claustro-
phobic. There seemed no way out.
By some grace, it came to me tomake a list of the people who I loved.
The list went on for pages and pages.I stopped because I was exhausted and
needed to sleep, rather than having ex-hausted the list.
As I closed my eyes to sleep, the ter-rible feeling of aloneness and sadness
had lifted because as I wrote thosenames, the feeling in my heart had
switched to one of gratitude, ratherthan loss.
For many months, I slept with ajournal and pen on my bed. Id wake in
the middle of the night, sometimeswith deep understandings or even
poems that felt like song lyrics. Othertimes, I woke in a panic and Id start
writing about things or people who Iwas grateful for, not just as a list, but
with detailed reasons why.When I was house-sitting in France
for eight months, my days were quitebusy, but my nights were often alone
times. I didnt see the gift in that atfirst, but after awhile, I relished the
times that I had at the dining roomtable, a candle lit and my notebook
open.Being away from everything famil-
iar created a sort of buffer zone aroundme. I felt anonymous and emotionally
safe to write from the depths of my
being and to release what I didnt evenrealize until then, that I had been hold-
ing in.I wrote out healing conversations.
And, most importantly, I owned andfaced the choices that I had made in my
life. It was both empowering and bywriting those things out of me, made
room for more joy.Holding onto old hurts and confu-
sion takes energy. Science is beginningto measure the ways that our emotions
and thinking influence our physicalhealth and quality of life.
When I was preparing for the jour-naling workshop at FUS, I read many
studies about the ways journaling pos-itively impacts our lives. These are in
addition to physical health.Writing occupies the left side of our
brains. That frees the right side to becreative and to make associations.
Research shows that writing helpsto: reduce stress, resolve disagree-
ments, problem solve, clarify thoughtsand feelings, track patterns and trends
and helps keep the brain supple. Jour-naling is recommended for baby
boomers as a means to ward offAlzheimers and other dementia.
Cultivating a grateful heart is an-other healthful practice. When you
combine writing and gratitude, you
have a double winner!Many of the dozen people who were
signed up for my workshop said thatthey enrolled because just making lists
of things they were grateful for becameboring after awhile.
So in the class, we explored moreways to gratitude journal.
Whether you do it in writing, inprayer or meditation, in conversation
or reflection isnt as important as justdoing it. Giving yourself the time and
space to feel the gratitude is key.It doesnt work to just thank and
run. Lip service is show rather thansubstance. To have the healthful and
life-altering benefits, it is important toconnect your head and heart as you
give thanks.Theres a song that goes, If every-
day, could be just like Christmas, whata wonderful world, it would be. Im
not bashing Christmas with this nextstatement. But, I think, that if everyday
could be filled with true thanks-givingwe would have an even more wonder-
ful world. In my experience, a gratefulheart is a happy heart.
I hope that the lists of what you aregrateful for this year, are much, much
longer than your holiday wish lists.Happy Thanksgiving!

Local author, Times-Tribune reporter
and mother extraordinaire Katherine
Perreth has been awarded a silver
medal in the Readers Favorite Interna-tional Book Award contest. She was in
Miami over the weekend to receive the
honor, which her book, Making
Lemonade with Ben: The Audacity to
Cope, won in the Non-fiction: Inspi-
rational category.
Lemonades story begins when Per-
reths seven-year-old son, Ben, is
found in a coma. He suffers myriad
disabilities and, later, mental health is-
sues. Yet love wins. Narrated with irre-
pressible humor, this tale culminates
with Bens victorious invitation to
Washington D.C., to represent Madi-
son Childrens Museum at a national
award ceremony.
Perreth said she entered the ReadersFavorite International Book Award
contest on a whim.
I wondered how Id stack up, and
tried, pretty much unsuccessfully, to
keep my hopes in check, she com-
mented. Yeah, I was holding my
breath.
So now I get to say my award-win-
ning book, and Ill never tire of that!
she exclaimed. Or of seeing the silver
medallion on my book it makes me
so happy to have this validation.
Do I want someone to hand me a
medal for writing that book? the
added. Yes, I do believe I do!
Perreth said that even if she had not
won the award, the responses shes re-
ceiving from readers on her website
and in person are making the labor of
writing the book worthwhile.
Its being used as a tool, as Id
hoped it would be. And people are en-
trusting me with precious cargo: their
own hearts, she said. Besides telling
me they didnt expect to laugh so hard
given my subject matter, they tell me
how the book has helped them or will
help others. From explaining their own
mental health challenges to loved ones
and professionals, to telling me they
dont feel so alone, to saying all parents
should read the book, to thanking me
for writing. Thanking me? People are
honoring the sacrifices I made to tell
our story, the sacrifices my family
made, and, really, to be thanked is the
greatest award of all.
I couldnt be happier with the re-
sponses and reviews Im receiving onAmazon, Goodreads, and other sites,
and with the local support from book-
stores The University Book Store,
Mystery to Me, and A Room of Ones
Own, as well as Middletons Prairie
Caf and The Regal Find, she said.
As a self-published author, the chain
bookstores wont carry my book on
their shelves, but they can still order
copies. Any library can too, and the
local libraries in and just outside Dane
county have been phenomenally sup-
portive, ordering copies and having
me speak. Next year, Ill be venturing
farther afield, presenting at the
Wauwatosa Library (my husbands
hometown), as well as in multiple
communities close by.
At her public debut in April at the
Middleton Library, 70 people showed
up. It blew away the librarian and Per-
reth, too.
People from every decade of my
life were there it still makes me
choke up and shake my head in grate-
ful disbelief, Perreth said. The sup-
port from my hometown has been
crucial, giving me kudos and courage,
and I am so thankful I live in the Good
Neighbor City.
So far, she has donated partial pro-
ceeds to Walbridge School, Yahara
House, REACH a Child, and in De-
cember shell be selling and signing to
benefit Middleton Outreach Ministry.
Ben will be there with her, doing what
he does best: juggling, hugging,
schmoozing, and signing books.
In March, Ben and her will bekeynote speaking at NAMI Dane
Countys annual banquet and also do-
nating partial proceeds.
E-versions for any device are avail-
able on smashwords.com; Amazon
carries both paperback and Kindle
versions. Barnes & Noble online car-
ries paperback and Nook versions.
And Im still selling from the back
of my car, she added with a grin.
The perpetual 80 pounds of books
will keep me from fishtailing this win-
ter.

Meet Cindy Herbst, Executive Di-
rector and Co-Founder of the RestoringHope Transplant House, a nonprofit or-
ganization that seeks to create a homefor individuals coming to Madison for
bone marrow and organ transplants.A Wisconsin native, Cindy was born
in Door County and lived in severalcities before returning to her birth-
place. While working in the resortbusiness in Door County, Cindy met
her husband, Brian. The couple firstmoved to the Madison area when Brian
became a student at the UW. Cindy hastwo children from a previous marriage,
Eric and Karen, and she and Brian havetwo children together, Stefanie and
Brittany. Cindy also has two infantgrandchildren, Piper and Griffin.
Cindy has spent nearly 30 years ofher life as a Middleton resident. She
chose the Good Neighbor City as herhome because it seemed similar to
Door County: scenic, with a welcom-ing and small-town feel. These feelings
carried over as the main reason behindopening Restoring Hope in Middleton.
We certainly have the best neighbors.Without the city of Middleton, we
would not be open, Cindy proclaimed.Cindy has had several personal ex-
periences that make her a perfect fit asthe Executive Director of Restoring
Hope. She grew up in a family with alot of illness, so she learned early on
how to understand illnesses and becompassionate. She also has pastoral
care and hotelier backgrounds, whichallow her to understand the residents
from both care and customer serviceperspectives.
The idea of starting a transplanthouse first formulated when Cindys
father-in-law was diagnosed with mul-tiple myeloma, a blood cancer, and re-
quired a bone marrow transplant. Afterreceiving the transplant at the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, MN, Cindy andBrian stayed with her father-in-law at
a large transplant house in the area to
better facilitate his recovery. Thistransplant house set the foundation forRestoring Hope.
Since opening in December 2012,the five bedrooms of Restoring Hope
have accommodated over 40 families.Cindy disclosed that construction plans
are in the works to add on to the house,increasing kitchen space and adding on
11 bedrooms with connected bath-rooms.
The Restoring Hope TransplantHouse is a member of the Middleton
Chamber of Commerce. Cindy person-
ally is affiliated with the Middleton
Lions and Madison Downtown RotaryClub, and also serves on the Patient
and Family Advisory Council for UWHospital.
When she can find the time, Cindy
enjoys traveling domestically, reading,
walking around Middleton and eating
at the variety of restaurants in down-
town Middleton.
Stay tuned to meet more of your
Good Neighbors! In the meantime, if
you know someone who you think is a
Good Neighbor and deserves recogni-
tion, email me [email protected].

Happy to be aliveThe Summit Credit Union Haunted Hustle, a Halloween-themed series of
running events in Middleton each October, is supposed to be a little spooky.But its not supposed to be this scary. Kevin Nelson, above, second from right,dropped to his knees just seconds after crossing the finish line this year. Thenext thing he remembers is waking up in a hospital, the survivor of a heartattack. Luckily for Nelson, Middleton EMS paramedics Tom Landgraf andBryan Adler were stationed just a few yards away from the finish like, thanksin part to extensive planning on the part of marathon organizers. They allreunited on Sunday, Nov. 17 at the Middleton EMS station, located at 2020Parmenter St. The first time I met him he wasnt smiling, said Landgrafto Nelsons friends and family, who gathered with race organizers and firstresponders. Im glad to see his is now.
Nelson, who is a 44 years old and is the father of young children, was at aloss for words. I dont even know what to say, he said. Landgraf, Adlerand Nelson are pictured above with Jen Anderson, director of operations forCapitol View Events, which organizes the Haunted Hustle.

INVESTIGATIVE UNIT REPORTTraditionally as the leaves begin to
fall and as the cooler temperatures ar-
rive, the Police Department receivesfewer calls for service. As everyone
prepares themselves for the upcomingwinter months, outdoor activities de-
crease and our citizens spend moretime indoors in the comforts of their
home, resulting in fewer opportunitiesfor criminals. As a result of fewer calls
for service, the Investigative Unit re-views a few less cases during the fall
and winter months. For the month ofOctober, the Investigative Unit re-
viewed a total of 62 cases, approxi-mately 20 fewer cases then in
September of 2013, with 25 of thesecases being assigned to a detective for
further follow up.A summary of some of the cases as-
signed to a detective for follow up in-clude: 4 domestic incidents; 1 battery
complaint; 9 larceny investigations; 3burglary reports; 2 heroin overdoses; 4
fraud complaints.Additionally, as recently reported in
the Times-Tribune , Detective Kakuskemade an arrest of a local resident and
former employee of the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District.
After a very thorough and time inten-sive investigation, Detective Kakuske
arrested Middleton resident Todd An-derson on multiple counts of posses-
sion of child pornography. An investi-gation involving Mr. Anderson was ini-
tiated after the Police Departmentreceived some concerning information
from the local school district. Based onDetective Kakuskes investigation and
interviews, Mr. Anderson was arrestedin October and charged with six counts
of possession of child pornography.This investigation is still ongoing.
In October, another significant caseinvestigated by the detective division
came to a conclusion as former St.Lukes Music Director James Alex
Gillespie was sentenced for two countsof 2nd degree sexual assault of a child.
Detective Faust spent a great deal oftime investigating this case from earlier
in the year and based on this investiga-tion, Mr. Gillespie, after pleading no
contest, recently received a one yearjail sentence and 15 years of probation
for his actions.Lastly, a human trafficking case,
which started in late 2011 and early2012, came to a conclusion with the re-
cent plea agreement for Alvin Siller.Mr. Siller received a 20-year prison
sentence for orchestrating a very in-depth and disturbing prostitution busi-
ness involving multiple victims,weapons and drugs. Detective Jessica
Quamme spent countless hours work-ing on this investigation and based on
her hard work and determination, wasable to build a very successful case re-
sulting in the imprisonment of a veryunscrupulous individual.

13/32
Q: While youve written severalsuccessful books about the Packers,
this one is a little different because you
have a co-author. How did you end up
writing alongside LeRoy Butler?
A: Triumph Books wanted to pairme with a former Packer that not only
had a lot of stories to share, but still hada presence in the state of Wisconsin.
LeRoy Butlers name was the firstone that popped into my head, and I
dont think we could have found amore engaging ex-Packer.
Hes a sensational storyteller, heshonest and hes entertaining. On top of
that, he truly loves the fans and meet-
ing people in general.Butler has an amazing connection to
people for both the Lambeau Leap, and
his role in bringing a Super Bowl titleto Green Bay in 1996. Working with
him was a thrill.
Q: In the introduction you pointout that Butler wasnt just a dynamic
player; he was also honest, account-
able and loquacious. How do Butler
and the other Packer greats whose sto-
ries are told in the book compare to
todays NFL stars in that regard?
A: LeRoy says in the book: I al-
ways mingled with the fans. If youmingle with the fans, the fans will pro-tect you. The only time I wouldnt do
a lot of the stuff was when I was withmy kids because they require a lot of
attention. But if Im by myself, Heyman, fans we can talk. Because you
cant have it both ways. You cant tellsomeone you want them to buy your
jersey and then blow them off.Thats always been Butlers mantra.
He felt the fans that pay his salary, thefans that keep the league running and
buy anything and everything on themarket, deserve answers. And hes
right.When the Packers lost at 0-10 Indi-
anapolis in 1997, most players ranfrom the locker room afterwards like
there was a fire. Butler stayed and tookevery question. He gets it.
Most of todays players believe lessaccess is a good thing. Many feel
theyre above answering questions andtelling the fans what truly happened.
Butler wasnt like that and fans re-spected that. Thats why he remains
one of the most popular players fromthose 1990s Packers.
Q: The book contains a wide rangeof stories, and I think you said you in-
terviewed about 70 sources while
doing your research. How did you de-
cide which memories made the final
cut?
A: I looked for some of the betterstories in team history and tried track-
ing down the key figures from thatgame. It wasnt easy, as many are now
deceased or simply hard to find. But Ithink we did a good job covering all of
the eras in Packers history.I learned a lot myself, the stories be-
hind great games, where players aretoday, and how being a Green Bay
Packer helped so many of them later inlife.
All in all, the book was extremelytime consuming, but fantastically en-
joyable.
Q: Youve written a lot about thisteam over the years. Did you learn
anything new while researching this
book?
A: I did. A lot. LeRoy told somefascinating stories about Brett Favre,
Reggie White, Ron Wolf and others hewas closely associated with throughout
the 1990s.Of Favre, Butler says: Heres why
theyll never be another Brett Favre.
When Brett Favre got there, you hadblack guys playing a game of spades,white guys playing backgammon, the
younger guys playing video games, theolder guys playing hearts. And Brett fit
in with every culture.Hed go over to the brothers and
listen to hip-hop. Hed go over to thewhite guys and listen to country. Hed
go hang out with the hunters, hed gohang with the young guys. There was
no guy that ever did that. Hell, I neverdid that.
He didnt even know how to play
spades, but hed be yelling, I gotnext. He didnt even like hip-hop, but
he would dance to it. He didnt want toget up at 4 in the morning to go hunting
before practice at 9, but he did it. Hedidnt want to go to some of these
functions with us, but he did it becausehe loved his teammates.
Of Reggie White, he said: WhenReggie White got there, our culture
was losing. We had no idea how to win.And I remember Reggie saying he
wanted guys to go to bible study. It was
on Fridays at 6 oclock in the morningand no one wanted to go, of course.Then he wanted to do it an hour before
games at 7 in the morning on Sundays.Now Reggie and I were very close
and I was kind of a clown and Reggiewas pretty serious. And I said, Reggie,
if you want these guys who go to theclubs or hang out, the younger genera-
tion to come to bible study, you haveto come down to their level.
So every Thursday night, every-body in the league goes out, drinks, has
some wings. Just be a guy. So Reggie
went to a watering hole that we wouldalways go to and he never did that. Hell
no. Reggie was in bed at 7 oclock.But he got to that establishment
early, one of the first guys there at like6 or 7 oclock and he stayed until like
9. And the guys, they saw that and now
there was an incredible connection.Well, the next morning, there were like40, 50 guys at bible study. Before that,
he probably had five guys, maybethree-to-five. And thats when I knew
we were a team.Then there were some interesting
stories from other ex-Packers along theway.
I learned that Don Beebe has the ballfrom Super Bowl XXXI and how he
got it. I heard some fun stories abouthow Paul Hornung, Max McGee and
others used to tear it up off the field.Bart Starr told me the biggest mistake
he ever made in his life was returningto coach the Packers in 1975. Bob Hy-
land told the story of how he broke theleg of former Packers coach Dan
Devine.Really, every chapter has something
new and exciting. No matter how muchyou think you know about the Packers,
I think youll learn something elseevery few pages.
Q: When you wrote the AaronRodgers book, it came in the afterglow
of the Super Bowl win. The Mike Mc-
Carthy book came after a 15-1 season.
Have you perceived any diminished ap-
petite for Packers content since, or do
you anticipate that this book will match
the success of your first two?
A: A friend of mine recently said,The Packers have a license to printmoney. And I think that sums it up
perfectly right now. People simplycant get enough of the Green Bay
Packers, and really the NFL in general.When I was a kid in the 1980s (yes,
Im old), you read the paper, watcheda game on Sunday and hopefully Mom
would let you stay up for MondayNight Football. Today, football goes
24-7-365 and it still seems fans areclamoring for more.
So I certainly dont anticipate or be-
lieve the appetite for the Packers willwane. This is one of the most loyal, de-
voted fan bases in professional sports,and even during a 4-12 season like
2005, the passion rages on.
Q: What is your favorite Packersmemory?
A: I grew up a diehard Packers fan,and their journey to the 1996 Super
Bowl championship was something Illnever forget. I could still recite to you
every score, every stat, every key playfrom that season. Their journey in
reaching the NFC title game in 1995,then putting it altogether the following
season was remarkable. The state hadsuffered for three decades with that
team. To now write a book with one ofthe stars of that team and talk to sev-
eral legends from that squad waspretty exciting.
Q: You cover some pretty leg-endary pro athletes, but you also write
about our local high school sports. Do
you need to switch gears when you go
back and forth?
A: Without question. I love highschool sports. Absolutely love them.
The kids are in them for all the rightreasons. They dont make a nickel.
Theyre sacrificing an enormousamount of time. Win or lose, I try to
keep the overwhelming theme andmessage pretty positive when it comes
to preps.Professional sports are the epitome
of big business. Every move, every
play, every game deserves intensescrutiny from media and fans alike.That means a lot of negativity, analysis
and questioning when things dont goright. Athletes and coaches dont al-
ways like that, but its the nature of thebeast.

In the 1964 New York Worlds Fair
a six-year-old Kim Stanfill-McMillanstared transfixed at a potter. She knew
one day she wanted to make her own
pottery. At the age of twelve shelearned how to throw pottery andbegan selling her work a few years
later. Now she is sharing her passionwith the community and seeing how
far she can reach out.Stanfill-McMillan is the local entre-
preneur behind Fired Up Pottery. Peo-ple who visit the store can paint their
own pottery, make a fused glass piece,or take a pottery wheel class. The pot-
ter has locations in Monona in the LakeEdge Shopping Center and a new sea-
sonal satellite store neighboring theWilly Street Co-op in Middleton. The
seasonal store will be open in Novem-ber and December only.
It is a really happy, high energy
place, but you can also chill out, saysStanfill-McMillan, giving an accountof the atmosphere, When families
come they say, we have not had sucha good time as a family in a long time
and they might be here for two or threehours creating and nobody has to get
up.She points out if a group wants to
get together they may not have thesame bonding time if they went out to
eat or to see a movie.When your meal is done you have
to leave, but when you are here you cankeep hanging out, says Stanfill-
McMillan.She allows people to bring in or
order food as well, so you wont haveto pass on a meal altogether. Stanfill-
McMillan wants to grow her businessand says a permanent store in Middle-
ton could be her next step.I did not think I could afford to go
out there yet to pay rent on two stores,she spells out, Then I got to thinking,
they have those Halloween Expresses,where you just move into a temporary
location for like 2 months then you dis-appear again.
The store owner says whether shedecides to make the satellite store a
permanent location will depend on her
sales during the two months its open.If our sales are strong enough then Iwill surely be talking to the landlord
and if it is not strong enough thenmaybe we will do the pop-in location
again.The businesswoman chose Novem-
ber and December strategically. Thesemonths tend to be her biggest in sales.
There store attracts Christmas shopperswho want to give a gift they actually
made or painted. Customers can selectfrom a menagerie of clay items. Then
they can choose from a myriad of paintcolors and brushes to create any design
they like. These items are perfect forChristmas gifts that hold a sentimental
value.Kim Stanfill-McMillan wants to her
business to grow so she can share herhobby, but she also wants to make a
difference. There are 12 of us whowork here now, she says, and that
started from zero, it started from justme, in eight years I think that is pretty
awesome.Stanfill-McMillan has also made
giving a primary focus of Fired UpPottery. The store tries to have at least
one fundraiser a week, My real goalis to have one a day but I will take one
a week. When a group holds afundraiser 30 percent of proceeds will
go to the cause. Groups can do this toraise money for their own organiza-
tions or others.If you are reading this thinking you
would like to make a personalized giftfor someone this holiday season, get in
there and start creating. December 15is the latest one can submit their piece
of pottery to be fired and get it back be-fore Christmas.

The players have changed evenmore than expected.
There will be new lines, rotations,and combinations.
But despite some heavy turnover,one thing wont change inside
Middletons hockey program andthats expectations.
The Cardinals began their yearTuesday night against Beloit
Memorial. And despite a bevy of per-sonnel changes, Middleton will be
aiming high once again.We have high expectations, said
Middleton veteran co-coach Steve
Libert. We expect to compete for con-ference titles and state.
With a large turnover from last
year there will be some growing pains,but we have the capability. We have a
lot of work to do.Middleton went 18-6 last season
and finished second in the Big EightConference at 11-3. The Cardinals
reached the sectional semifinals,before losing to Madison Edgewood.
Middleton has reached the WIAAstate tournament three times in the last
decade. And the Cardinals have fin-ished at or near the top of the league
for more than a decade, now.If Middleton hopes to remain a
force, it will have to find a goalie.
The Cardinals expected to have
standout Max McConnell back for hisjunior season. Instead, McConnell left
the program and is playing with theMilwaukee Junior Admirals.
I did not expect to lose Max,Libert said. As I have said before,
good goaltending can hide flaws. Butat the same time good team play can
cover up for a goalie. Bottom line isthis team will have to develop their
own identity.
Senior Zach Kasdorf and sopho-more Tony Wuesthofen who both
backed up McConnell last season will vie for the starting position.
We play three games next weekand they will each get a chance to
play, Libert said. It will be new foreverybody having a different team-
mate between the pipes.While goaltending is suddenly
Middletons greatest question mark,
the rest of the positions appear in goodshape.
Senior forward Jordan Carey wasMiddletons second-leading scorer last
season, with 11 goals, 15 assists and 26total points. And Carey figures to
headline what appears to be a stronggroup of forwards.
Jordan is the most skilled forward,but needs to develop his ability to sup-
port and use his support this year,
Libert said. If Jordan develops thatability he will be hard to stop.
Senior forwards Brendan Sheehan(3-5-8) and Ryan Dohmeier (4-4-8)
both have some experience and shouldbe poised for big senior seasons.
Ryan and Jordan are better at scor-ing, but Brendan is the guy that creates
turnovers and crashes the net, Libert

Hopes are high for hockey Cards
Gunningfor the top
Many teams across the state would
love the type of girls basketball sea-son Middleton enjoyed last winter.
The Cardinals went 15-9 overall.Middleton was a respectable 12-6 in
the Big Eight Conference and fin-ished fourth. And the Cardinals
reached the WIAA regional finals,where they fell in overtime to
Madison La Follette.All in all, it was a solid season.
But the Cardinals have becomeaccustomed to being more than solid.
Theyve been special.And this years outfit could be
exactly that.Middleton returns the majority of
its key players from a year ago andpicked up a talented foreign
exchange student. Now, the Cardinalsare aiming to move back atop a
league they had dominated for years.That journey begins Friday, when
the Cardinals face Oak Creek theNo. 1 team in the state at 7:45 p.m.
at the Brookfield CentralThanksgiving Shootout.
I think well have some pieces,an understated Middleton coach Jeff
Kind said. We just need to figure outwhere they fit. Whos better at what
role and things like that.Between the 2006-07 season and
the 2011-12 campaign, Middletonhad its most dominant stretch in
school history. The Cardinals won orshared six straight Big Eight
Conference titles and reached theWIAA Division 1 state tournament
five years in a row.Over those six years, Middleton
was a remarkable 94-10 in the BigEight Conference (.904). The
Cardinals also went a stellar 129-24(.843) overall.
This years team has the potential

many questions

Tim Simon was borderline giddy.
And really, who could blame him.
Simon, Middletons football
coach, recently learned that 17 of his
Cardinals received some form of all-
Big Eight Conference recognition.
And after a year in which Middleton
went 7-2 in the league and tied for
second place, Simon knew that his
team was extremely well represented.
Only league champion Sun Prairie
(22) had more all-conference picks
than Middleton.
Overall, Im very pleased,
Simon said. To get 17 on there isreally good.
Middleton senior offensive line-
men Hayden Acker and Jack Mayers,
senior running back Charles Braxton,
senior defensive end Derek Rogeberg,
senior linebackers Matt Hong and
Elliot Tanin, and senior cornerback
Luke Schafer were all named first-
team all-conference.
The Cardinals second-teamers
included senior wideout Derek
Rongstad, junior tight end Mitchell
Herl, junior defensive lineman Chase
Jollie and senior safety Max Oelerich.
Rongstad was also named second-
team at kicker.
Middletons honorable mention
all-conference players were senior
quarterback Kasey Miller, senior
wideout Demond Hill, senior offen-
sive lineman Lon Yeary, junior offen-
sive lineman Derek Ramsey and jun-
ior defensive tackle Nikko Miller.
Acker and Mayers were two major
reasons Middleton averaged 190.8
rushing yards per game and 6.0 yards
per carry.Acker benefitted greatly from
Middletons offseason conditioning
program. And after working as the
Cardinals No. 6 offensive lineman in
2012, Acker became a force at right
tackle this fall.
He met all of our expectations
and was very consistent, Simon said
of Acker. He spent a lot of time last
winter reconstructing his workout
and at first he wasnt sold. But in less
than three weeks, we started seeing
the difference.
Mayers added 20 pounds of mus-
cle between his junior and senior sea-
sons, and played left tackle this fall at
a sturdy 240.
Hes a kid who put the time in theweight room and reaped the benefits,
Simon said. He was a real pleasant
surprise. He has a long frame and
long arms, and when hes locked on
you, forget about it.
Braxton played very little as a jun-
ior, but he erupted with a huge senior
season. Braxton ran for 1,275 yards,
13 touchdowns and averaged 5.8
yards per carry.
We knew he was gifted, Simon
said. But with Charles, it was a mat-
ter of being all in. But he bought in
and he was all in and he had a great
season.

* unanimous selection
Ben Kollasch would have lovedgreater representation.
Who wouldnt?
But even though Kollasch Middletons boys soccer coach felthis Cardinals deserved more than five
all-Big Eight Conference players, heunderstood the process.
The parity in the Big EightConference makes it tougher and
tougher to get players recognized,said Kollasch, whose team finished
the year 12-8 overall. The relativelylow amount of Middleton players
compared to previous years ismuch more a function of the rest of the
league getting better as opposed toMiddleton getting worse.
(Madison) West finished fifth inthe conference standings, but tore
through the playoffs up to the state
semis. The Big Eight is becoming oneof the hallmark soccer conferences inthe state.
As it was, the Cardinals fared justfine.

and an honorable-mention all-state
pick.Senior forward Trent McKinnon
