Week 51

For the second time this year, theMiddleton Common Council has re-sponded to a mass shooting that tookplace outside the Good NeighborCity’s borders.

In August, the council approved aresolution supporting the Sikh commu-nity and expressing condolences for

victims of the Oak Creek, Wisconsinmassacre in which a gunman indis-criminately killed people in a house ofworship.

The Middleton Common Council onTuesday of this week unanimously ap-proved a new resolution, this time bothcondemned last week’s massacre at anelementary school in Connecticut andcalled for “meaningful laws and regu-lations” to help prevent future loss oflife.

The resolution stated that all chil-dren have the basic right to feel safe atschools, playgrounds, home and otherlocations. It went on to say the Middle-ton Common Council condemns the“senseless massacre of defenseless

The Middleton Town Board is con-sidering creating a tax increment fi-nancing (TIF) district to attractredevelopment to a 28-acre portion ofthe town along Seybold Road.

In a 4-1 vote Monday, with boardsupervisor Bill Kolar dissenting, theboard asked Vierbicher Associates toprepare estimates of the increase in taxbase that could result from redevelop-ment of Seybold Road.

The town can create a Tax IncrementDistrict (TID) under state statute or,under its intergovernmental agreementwith the City of Madison.

TIDs are often used to attract rede-velopment of blighted areas. The sev-eral blocks of Seybold Road betweenthe Beltline Highway and GammonRoad would be considered blightedand qualify for TID financing, accord-ing to backers of the plan before thetown.

TIDs are public-private ventures thatoften allow municipalities to borrowmoney to finance the cost of roads andutility improvements. Developerswould repay the cost of the improve-ments from revenue eventually gener-ated by taxes on the incrementalincreased value of the property with theTID.

Kolar opposed the TID, saying therisk was too great for a possible payoffthat wouldn’t occur for at least 10years. He added that with no developerinterested yet and the property set tobecome part of the City of Madison in30 years, why bother?

Council respondsto school shooting Sacrifice and charity

Hidden in plain sight along thebustling University Avenue corridorsits an old curiosity shop. There, ded-icated volunteers, primarily seniorsand primarily women, work withoutpay, giving the fruits of their labor tothose in need.

It all started 45 years ago, amidstthe fallout from a Middle Easternmilitary conflict.

When the Six-Day War erupted in1967, members of Hadassah in DaneCounty pulled together to support anIsraeli hospital flooded with patients.In Madison they held what they

called a “sacrifice sale,” giving upsome of their most prized possessionsto raise resources to send to the med-ical center.

(Hadassah is an AmericanWomen’s Zionist Organizationfounded to support Hadassah Med-ical Organization in Jerusalem. It wasfounded by Henrietta Szold in 1912.)

While that particular war lastedless than a week, the sale is, inmany ways, still taking place atHadassah’s Collectors Corner inMiddleton. The “sacrifice sale”morphed into a shop that operates asboth a consignment store and anoutright charity.

It has been located at 6633 Uni-

versity Ave. in the Good NeighborCity for decades now, and it is stillrun and staffed entirely by volun-teers. Its mission remains to help,but its scope has expanded beyondthe Jewish community.

Store manager Dottie Weinersaid Collector’s Corner receivesmany donated goods, providing re-ceipts so people can claim the dona-tions on their taxes. The revenuefrom the sale of those items goes tocharity, funding medical research inIsrael.

Cops try no left turn on LeeStarting last week and continuing

through Friday of this week, the Mid-dleton Police Department is no longerallowing southbound traffic on Par-menter Street to turn left onto LeeStreet, from 7:45-8:15 a.m.

Captain Charles Foulke, of the Mid-

dleton Police Department, said thechange is due to “recent reports of traf-fic congestion on Parmenter Street nearthe roundabout in the morning.”

A suggested alternate route wouldbe to go one block further south beforeturning left, Foulke added. There are

electronic message boards and conesset up during the time left turns are notallowed.

“Thank you for your patience andunderstanding while we work on thisissue to try and come up with a morepermanent solution,” said Foulke.

Citizens challenged to save waterThe Middleton Sustainability Com-

mittee, with assistance from local busi-nesses, is encouraging residents to jointhe 2013 Water Conservation Chal-lenge and compete with their neighborsto reduce 2013 water usage by thehighest percentage.

“Water is one of our most valuableresources and if we don’t look for waysto decrease our water use, future gen-erations could run out of it,”said Spencer Schumacher, a member ofthe sustainability committee. “We are

fortunate to have Pheasant Branch,Lake Mendota and numerous ponds inMiddleton which support a large as-sortment of wildlife including endan-gered species such as the trumpeterswans.”

Those who enter the challenge willbe eligible to win monthly prizes justfor signing up. Three grand prizewin-ners will be selected based on the high-est percentage of water saved. Grandprizes include: a dual-flush toilet ($300value), a Death’s Door Spirits gift

pack, and green housecleaning session.A $50 gift card to Willy Street Co-Opwill be awarded to the participant whosubmits the most innovative method ofwater use reduction, to be judged bythree water experts.

“Saving water saves money andeveryone is always looking for ways tohave more money in their pockets,”Schumacher stated.

Sign up is open from now until Jan-uary 15, 2013. Visit www.cityofmid-dleton.us for additional details.

agreement with Madison would haveto be amended to prevent annexation ofa TID before 30 years occurs and a TIDwould have to be approved by the cityand Dane County.

“This isn’t easy,” said Gary Becker,an economic development specialistwith Vierbicher Associates.

Lawton called it “an elaborate pro-cedure,” that includes closed sessionnegotiations between the multipleproperty owners, town and city staffsand public hearings for comment onthe proposed TID boundaries andcosts.

“It sounds like you’re trying to sparksome economic development with the30 years left in the agreement withMadison,” said Lawton.

Upfront costs to the town includeengineering, planning, surveying, in-frastructure and bond insurance, saidBecker. A developer may even ask thetown to help with the cost of the prop-erty, as lenders have been more reluc-tant to give developers financing, hesaid.

Board supervisor Tim Roehl com-pared the Seybold Road site to the TIDthe City of Middleton created for theTribeca Village neighborhood. ThatTIF initially included raw land north ofAirport Road but also snakes down toAllen Boulevard, too. (The City ofMiddleton currently has two open TIFdistricts.)

Seybold is valued at about $20 mil-lion, said Roehl. The city hopesTribeca’s value will someday approach$280 million. (The Tribeca projectstalled for several years but develop-ment activity at the site is currently tak-ing place.)

“It’s still a lot of work and risk for a10-year payback benefit” before theland becomes part of Madison, saidKolar.

“This is a better location thanTribeca, it could be a $300 million de-velopment; … you need numbers toshow you how this would make sense,”Roehl responded.

Also, increasing the town’s tax basethrough new construction is the onlyway to increase the levy limits on thetown, said Roehl.

The town taxes property approxi-mately at $2 per $1,000 assessed value,said Roehl. Even a $180 million Sey-bold TID would generate $360,000 forthe town over its lifetime, which equalswhat the town receives annually fromthe construction of 24 homes, he said.

Towns have had difficulty in makingrural TIDs work because town tax rev-enues are low compared to school dis-tricts and other taxing entities, saidLawton.

Town chairman Milo Breunig asked:What if the town spent the money tocreate a TID but no developer was in-terested?

Extensions to the payback period arepossible and the town could use otherrevenue to pay a failing TID’s cost,said Lawton.

Discussion of a possible TIDseemed stalled until town engineer RodZubella said no redevelopment alongSeybold Roard would require the townalone to fund reconstruction of the de-teriorating street.

Deputy town clerk Sara Ludtke saidMadison is “not going to take [Sey-bold] the way it is now.”

Breunig then said, “let’s get thenumbers and see if its reasonable to goforward.”

Friday’s Sandy Hook Elementarymassacre took place 1,000 miles awayfrom any of the Middleton-CrossPlains Area School District’s students,but the shooting prompted local educa-tors to swiftly reexamine their ownsafety and security procedures, whileparents and teachers grappled togetherwith how to explain the loss of life tochildren the same age as the 20 vic-tims.

“I think everyone around the countrykind of does some soul searching andasks themselves if there is anythingthey can do better,” superintendentDon Johnson told the board of educa-tion on Monday night.

A Monday morning debriefing withthe district’s executive team revealedan ongoing response that began imme-diately when word of the Newtown,Conn. shooting first reached educatorshere around midday on Friday. That re-sponse will continue, in various forms,into the foreseeable future as the dis-trict’s safety and security protocolscontinue evolving, said administrators.

From corresponding with principalsand teachers as the details of the shoot-ing were still unfolding, to updatingparents via email over the weekend,and finally preparing to look at long-term issues such as mental health sup-port, the Middleton-Cross Plains AreaSchool District reacted in a variety ofways.

Johnson said the district’s initial re-action was to instruct each school to“re-assert and re-verify the safety pro-cedures that are already in place” onFriday.

A transcript of district emails revealsa “priority message: security alert” sentto all the district’s buildings at 1:02p.m. the day of the Sandy Hook shoot-ing.

Teachers at the elementary and mid-dle school levels were instructed to re-strict access to media outlets for theremainder of the day. Blacking out thehigh school, where nearly every stu-dent has access to a smart phone ortablet, would have been impossible,said Johnson. “At the high school levelwe asked for a common sense ap-proach,” he said.

Emails show district employees cor-responding about the issue throughout

the day. By 6:12 p.m. Friday, JerryNicholson, the district’s director ofteaching and learning/ student services,was already contacting counselors andschool psychologists about the rolethey would play when students re-turned to class Monday morning.

The response continued over theweekend, with the district’s decision tosend an email to all parents via InfiniteCampus on Saturday at 6:23 p.m. Theemail included specific tips about howto talk to and comfort children aboutthe Sandy Hook shooting.

In an email to the school board andothers in the district Sunday night at9:48 p.m., Johnson urged educators to“[b]e strong and … sensitive as youwelcome students back to school onMonday.”

Shortly after students returned toschool, Johnson, area chiefs of policeand other members of the executiveteam met to go over safety proceduresthat are in place now and might go intoeffect in the future.

Assistant superintendent TomWohlleber has headed up the district’semergency planning for years. “We’veactually been actively involved inemergency planning since the late1990s,” he said. At the heart of thatprocess is a thick Emergency/CrisisResponse Plan that is reviewed and up-

dated annually. Each school has its own crisis re-

sponse team, and those teams aretrained to handle an array of emergen-cies, he continued. “Here in Wisconsinit could be a weather event, somethinglike a tornado, it could be a bus acci-dent, or it certainly could be a schoolshooting, a bomb threat or a kidnap-ping,” said Wohlleber.

In recent years the district has hostedthe Federal Bureau of Investigation,which held a security seminar in theMiddleton Performing Arts Center. Ed-ucators and local law enforcement takepart in annual tabletop exercises to pre-pare for various scenarios.

Schools regularly practice “holds” and “secures,” two variationsof a lockdown. The district has deals inplace to host family reunifications atoff site locations in Middleton-CrossPlains in the wake of an emergency,and it is working on an agreement withVerona’s high school to allow studentsto continue classes even if their respec-tive high school becomes incapaci-tated.

“It really does take a good deal ofstaff involvement,” said Wohlleber.“It’s part of a continued effort to getteachers into a mindset where they canbe comfortable thinking like emer-gency responders if something hap-

pens.”The district is also looking into up-

grading its extensive camera surveil-lance system.

But Nicholson, and multiple mem-bers of the school board, expressed adesire to have the district turn towardpeople, not exclusively technology, asschools look to the future.

“One of the most important thingswe need to look at is mental healthfunding,” said Nicholson. “A big thingI believe needs to come from this is aneffort to improve mental health serv-ices.”

Johnson said such support systemsthroughout much of the country are“weak.”

“There are a lot of people who arementally ill and have no access to theservices they need,” he said. “They arejust kind of out there.”

The Middleton-Cross Plains AreaSchool District and police departmentsin Middleton and Cross Plains releaseda joint statement following the shoot-ing.

“The Middleton Police Departmentis very committed to school safety,”Middleton Police Chief Brad Keil said.“We will continue to partner with thedistrict to keep officers in our schoolsand to improve our efforts to keep ourchildren safe.”

Sustain Dane and Metcalfe’s Marketannounced last week the winners of the2012 Metcalfe’s School Garden LeaderAward. Among those honored wereNatalie and Gabrielle Hinaraha, localsisters who spearheaded the creation ofa thriving garden at Clark Street Com-munity School in Middleton.

The award recognizes the efforts and

excellence of school leaders who “ini-tiate and foster school garden proj-ects,” according to a statement issuedby Sustain Dane. The Metcalfe SchoolGarden Leader Award serves to pro-mote the role school gardens play inthe community.

Sustain Dane said school gardensteach children about fresh, healthy

food and an active lifestyle. They alsoenliven learning, helping to boost aca-demic achievement, cultivate pro-so-cial skills and behavior, and promotecitizenship and environmental steward-ship, the organization continued.

“The 2012 Metcalfe School GardenLeader Awards recognize the outstand-ing and inspiring work by area school

leaders to engage students in active,community - oriented learning,” saidTim Metcalfe, president of Metcalfe’sMarket. “Metcalfe’s is committed tosupporting school gardens and the ef-fort to raise children’s understandingand enjoyment of locally - grown,healthy food.”

Sustain Dane and Metcalfe’s hon-ored the Hinaharas and other winnersat the Badger Bioneers Conference De-cember 12-13 at Union South, Univer-sity of Wisconsin – Madison.

In 2011, the Hinaraha sistersfounded Growing Food and Sustain-ability, a program designed to engageschool-aged children in environmentaleducation through food production, nu-trition, cooking, art, biking, and multi-age relationship building.

The program utilizes the MiddletonHigh School (MHS) greenhouse, twoschool garden sites at the high schooland Kromrey Middle School, and ayouth farm site located next to Clark

Street Community School. With thesupport of students in the MHS Ecol-ogy Club, they encourage teachers tomake use of these educational facilitiesduring the school year.

Last summer, Natalie and Gabrielleengaged student leaders and otherDane county youth in summer camps,teaching them how to weed, water, har-vest and use garden produce to cookhealthy meals. Through the camps’success, they were able to donate anabundance of food from the garden tolocal food pantries and shelters.

“Sustain Dane is proud to partnerwith Madison’s foremost businessleaders like Metcalfe’s to drive forwardsustainable ideas and initiatives withinregional schools, businesses, and thegreater community,” said KristenJoiner, executive director of SustainDane.

A Culinary Christmas Tradition

Many families have wonderful tradi-tions that are shared and passed ontothe following generations. Perhaps or-naments are shared, Christmas stock-ings are stored and displayed eachDecember or a favorite cookie is rolledout and decorated. One very specialculinary tradition evokes our Richardfamily history, religion and culture allrolled into one.On Christmas Eve we serve le

tourtiere or meat pie, made of groundpork, white pepper, garlic, salt andbread crumbs. The meat pie recipe isone that has been shared throughoutthe generations, preserving our Aca-dian heritage and honoring ourCatholic tradition.

The Pie Hits the SpotThe Catholic Church used to require

that individuals fast prior to receivingcommunion. This presented uniquehardships for Catholics wanting to at-tend the Midnight Mass on ChristmasEve. Having to fast prior to commun-ion and then not eating until the follow-ing day’s breakfast left one withtremendous hunger pangs. The meatpie proved to be an excellent solutionto this quandary as it could be keptwarm in the oven while attending Massand provided enough sustenance to lastthe person until morning.

Acadian DeportationThe Acadians, the original French

inhabitants of t he maritime provincesof Canada, preserved these strong tra-ditions to honor and remember thosethat had sacrificed so much. Exiledfrom their homes during the French-In-dian War (1755-1763), the exiled Aca-dians were deported to the Americancolonies to prevent them from assistingthe French during the war. The result-ing exile separated families, producedeconomic hardships, and tested the re-siliency of the Acadians. But their cul-

ture, religion, and ingrained happinesscould not be taken from them.

After the war, families were offeredthree resettlement opportunities:Louisiana, Quebec or returning toFrance. With families scatteredthroughout the colonies, the choices ofthe families could not be coordinatedand were made in isolation, resulting infamilies being resettled thousands ofmiles from each other. Parts of theRichard Family migrated to Quebecwhile many others settled in Louisiana.The Acadians migrating to Louisianacame to be called Cajuns by the Creolepopulation.

The Richard family traveled fromthe Massachusetts Colony to Quebecand farmed in an area just north ofMontreal. During the land grant phaseof Wisconsin’s settlement expansion,some of the Acadian families, includ-ing the Gauthiers, Landrys, and oneEdmund Richard accompanying hisnew wife’s family, the Brault family,came to northern Wisconsin to start anew life in the 1870s. With them camethe meat pie tradition.

Throughout the more than 250 yearsof upheavals and new starts, thetourtiere or “tout kay” in Quebecoisslang, survived, still providing a dis-tinctive aroma to the 12th and 13th

generations of Acadian descendantscelebrating Christmas Eve.

From Grand Pre, Acadia to Bostonto Quebec, to Coleman, Two Riversand finally Middleton, Wisconsin, theRichard family has kept this traditionwith us, connecting us to our heritage.Also keeping our heritage fresh is in-ternational Acadian family reunions,called Congress Mondial Acadian, tak-ing place every 5 years, reuniting Aca-dians form Louisiana (Cajuns), New

Brunswick, Quebec and Nova Scotia.The Good Neighbor city welcomes alland allows us to share our cultures witheach other. After all, we even have aCajun restaurant right in the heart ofour city.

Further ReadingTo find out more about the Acadians,

I would recommend Longfellow’spoem “Evangeline,” a fictional storythat uses the Acadian exile as the back-ground to a classic love story. Thepoem transports us back to the Aca-dian’s “forest primeval” or historicAcadia before families were split anddeported from the “home of thehappy.”

Buche de NoelThis afternoon I embarked on a culi-

nary adventure devoted to making JuliaChild’s version of Buche de Noel. Iexperienced a fun filled afternoon ofChristmas music, lights, wonderfularomas, and after four hours, a beauti-ful Buche de Noel. It was undoubtedlyworth every minute.

Buche de Noel (French pronuncia-tion: BOOSH duh noh-EHL) is a tradi-tional dessert served around Christmastime in France. Literally translated as“Yule log” this traditional FrenchChristmas cake is shaped and deco-rated to resemble a log. The nameBuche de Noel originally refers to theYule log itself, and was transferred tothe dessert during the first half of the20th century. The cake recipe itself isolder, and known to date to the 19th

century. The Buche de Noel is aFrench holiday favorite, inspired by thegiant Yule logs that were traditionallyburned on Christmas Eve.

The traditional buche is made froma Genoise, is frosted and filled withItalian chocolate buttercream, rolled toform a cylinder and frosted again onthe outside. Buches are served with aportion of each end of the cake cut offand set on top of the cake or protrudingfrom it’s side to resemble a chopped offbranch. Bark-like texture is producedin the buttercream for further realism.The Yule log cake is then decoratedwith sprigs, berries, meringue mush-rooms, etc.

I hope that you can find some timethis Christmas, to enjoy this traditionalcake, with a French touch. You canprepare this cake without much diffi-culty; just give yourself a bit of time.

Cooks Tip: Mise en place. Literally“put in place,” (MEEZ ahn plahs). Itmeans to gather your equipment andingredients before you begin to cook;you take time to save time. The Buchede Noel definitely requires Mise enplace!

Genoise:

3 egg yolks1/2-cup sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extractJuice and grated zest of one orange3 egg whites, room temperaturePinch of salt1/4-teaspoon cream of tartar1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar3/4 cup bleached cake flour, sifted3 Tablespoons butter, melted and

tepid

Heat oven to 375 degrees with rackon lower middle level. Butter an 11 by17 inch jellyroll pan, then cover withwax paper that is two inches longer ateach end. Butter and flour wax paper,knocking out excess flour after all partshave been covered.

Start beating egg yolks in mixingbowl, gradually beating in sugar by thetablespoon. Continue beating for sev-eral minutes, until mixture is thick,pale yellow, and forms a ribbon. Beatin vanilla. Beat in orange juice andgrated zest. Set bowl aside.

In another bowl with clean dry beat-ers, beat egg whites, starting at slowspeed, until they foam. Add salt andcream of tartar, and continue until softpeaks are formed; sprinkle in sugar andbeat to stiff peaks. At once stir a quar-ter of egg whites into egg yolks and

sugar to lighten the mixture. Rapidlyadd a third of remaining whites on top,and sift on a quarter of flour. Deli-cately and rapidly fold together, andwhen almost blended repeat sequencewith a third of remaining egg whitesand third of remaining flour, then halfof each. When you have almostblended last of each, add and fold intepid melted butter. Do not over blendor you will deflate batter.

Turn batter into prepared pan,spreading with a spatula to get into thecorners. Place into oven. Bake 7-10minutes, until springy when touched.Do not over bake or it will dry out andcrack when you roll it up.

Remove from oven, and slice 1/4inch off long sides of the sponge sheet.These ends will brittle and crack if lefton.

The following prevents the cakefrom becoming dry and impossible toroll. Sprinkle top with 1/16-inch layerof confectioner’s sugar. Completelycover the surface. Cover with a sheetof wax paper and a VERY lightlydampened towel. Place a tray or bak-ing sheet upside down over the cake,and flip the two. Unmold cake byholding an end of the wax paper whileyou lift off jellyroll pan. Carefully peeloff wax paper from cake. Sift another1/16-inch layer of confectioner’s sugarover cake and roll it up very lightly in

the dampened towel. Set aside.

Italian Meringue and Meringue mushrooms:

3 egg whites, room temperaturePinch of salt1/4-teaspoon cream of tartar1/4-cup water3/4-cup sugar1 cup whipping cream1/2-cup confectioner’s sugar1-teaspoon pure vanilla extract12 ounces semisweet baking choco-

late, melted1/4-cup strong coffee1/3-cup unsweetened cocoa, sifted

Beat egg whites at slow speed untilthey foam. Add salt and cream of tar-tar. Gradually increase speed to fast,beat to soft peaks. Set aside.

Bring sugar and water to a simmer,swirling the pan to dissolve sugar com-pletely. Cover and gently boil to soft-ball stage (238 degrees on candythermometer). Remove from burner.Retrieve your bowl of beaten eggwhites. Beating egg whites again atmoderately slow speed, slowly pour asteady stream of boiled syrup intowhites, trying to avoid the wires of thewhip. Increase speed to fast, and beatuntil cool and egg whites form stiff,shining, upstanding peaks.

Meringue Mushrooms: Heat ovento 200 degrees. Using a pastry bag anda 1/2-inch tip, scoop a quarter of theItalian Meringue into pastry bag.Squeeze out 10 half-inch domes onto abuttered pastry sheet or piece of waxpaper. If you get points when lifting uppastry bag they can be smoothed offwith a finger. Squeeze 10 conicalshapes a quarter inch high for thestems. Bake about 1 hour, making sure

bring items they wish to have on dis-play. The store sells those goods andpasses the money along to the seller.

“The monies we get from thingswe own, we send to Israel,” Weinerexplained. “But it’s known all overtown that if anyone here needs help,no matter their religion or faith, wewill try to offer our assistance.”

Just recently, a family moved herefrom Florida, arriving on a frigid Wis-consin day and without warm cloth-ing. A local Lutheran church sentthem to Collector’s Corner, where theparents and their four children re-ceived thick winter coats, free ofcharge.

“Anything we have in the store thatbelongs to us, we will give to some-one who needs it,” Weiner explained.“We like to see people happy. You’dbe surprised how busy we are.”

The store moved to Middletonabout 30 years ago. It occupies amodest space, filled to the brim witha mishmash of items from silver plat-ters to jewelry and framed art. Thestore finally obtained a computer in2012, but many of the volunteers whowork there – who range in age from

their 60s into their 90s - still do every-thing on paper.

Anita Parks, 86, has been therefrom the start. She still remembers thesacrifice sale that started it all. “Peo-ple gave up really nice things,” shesaid. “When the war was over, westill had all this really nice stuff, sowe asked ourselves what we shoulddo with it.”

Parks and Weiner recall eclecticitems brought in by regular visitorsand one-time customers. A high-endmen’s tuxedo. A precisely carvedwooden Buddha statue. They’ve seena lot.

“We have men’s items, children’sitems, ladies’ items, bedspreads, con-tainers, every little thing,” Parks said.“Good stuff.”

She describes the volunteers whorun the store – they do everythingfrom cleaning the bathrooms to eval-uating new goods – as “like family.”

“It’s wonderful, socially,” Parkssaid. “All the people who work herebecome friends. Some are not mem-bers of Hadassah because they aren’tJewish, but we’re all like family.”

Middleton dealt a huge blowRongstad out 4-6weeks; Cards fallto Sun Prairie

Cardinals holdoff Verona inheated affair

McMahon’s returnsparks Cardinals

Welcome back!That’s what Middleton’s girls bas-

ketball team was singing from the topof its collective lungs after destroyingMadison East, 56-28, last Friday.

The Cardinals were giddy to wel-come back preseason all-state forwardLiz McMahon. McMahon missed thefirst month of the season with a bro-ken finger, but made her debut a mem-orable one with a game-high 18points.

“It’s very good to have Liz back,”Cardinals coach Jeff Kind said. “Shegives us some added scoring andopens things up for us on offense justby being a threat to score.”

Middleton improved to 3-2 overall

and 3-1 in the Big Eight Conference.The Cardinals are in a three-way tiefor second place in the league, onegame behind Janesville Parker.

But with McMahon back,Middleton has a chance to become thekind of team Kind envisioned beforehe lost his best player.

“It will take a little time to geteverything in sync, but we feel like wecan really try to develop our identityas a team now that we’re at fullstrength,” Kind said. “Our roles can bemore clearly defined and our rotationscan become more stable. Adding onemore person really can have a bigeffect on how hard we can play at bothends of the floor.”

The Cardinals certainly playedhard — and effectively — against East(0-3, 0-6).

In addition to McMahon’s bignight, sophomore forward Cole Jordeehad 11 points. Senior point guardShannon McCauley added eightpoints, sophomore guard Jenna Blairhad seven and senior guard Natalie

Middleton junior forward Derek Rongstad will be out four to six weeks after breaking his left hand during a winat Verona last Thursday.

With a showdown against SunPrairie looming, Middleton’s boysbasketball team was dealt a huge blowlast Friday.

The Cardinals found out theywould be without Derek Rongstad —their star point guard and floor leader— for the next four to six weeks witha broken hand. The junior injured hishand while trying to brace himself ona hard fall after attempting a lay-upagainst Verona last Thursday.

Rather than focusing on the voidRongstad left in the lineup, Middletoncoach Kevin Bavery approached it asan opportunity for others to step in.

“The way we address when he gothurt to our guys, we just said, ‘Lookit’s an opportunity for other people.’Injuries happen, they’re a part of thegame and it’s always unfortunate,”Bavery said. “I always feel bad for theindividual.

“As a team we just have to havethat mentality, we just move on.There’s a reason that we kept 16 guyson our team. They all help us in oneway or another, whether it’s practiceor spot playing on game night or play-ing heavy minutes.”

The Cardinals took that attitude toheart against heavily favored SunPrairie last Saturday. Middleton bat-tled throughout, but eventuallydropped a 63-48 Big EightConference decision.

“I’m really proud of the effort. Weboxed out like crazy,” Bavery said.


Cole Jordee (right) and Middleton’s girls basketball team toppled Madison East last Friday.

VERONA — The fall was nasty,unnecessary, and borderline dirty.

Whether or not it derailsMiddleton’s season remains to beseen.

The Cardinals notched an impres-sive 62-51 win at Verona lastThursday. But it came with a price.

Late in the first half, Cardinalsstandout guard Derek Rongstad had asteal and was heading in for a break-away layup. Verona’s ScottNdobegang undercut Rongstad,though, causing him to take a nastyspill.

Rongstad used his left hand tobreak the fall, but instead broke a bonein that same hand. The injury willsideline him until at least mid-January.

Amazingly, the three-man officiat-ing crew elected not to call a foul.

“It was an emotional game and thatplay certainly set the tone,” Cardinalscoach Kevin Bavery said. “But thereare a lot of times in life where youneed to take the high road.

“We didn’t get the call and guyswere mad. But we just have to playabove that.”

Middleton did exactly that. The Cardinals saw an 18-point lead

whittled to two by the start of thefourth quarter. But Middleton droppedthe hammer on Verona with an 11-1run to start the final period and cruisedhome.

Middleton hockey co-coach SteveLibert called the Cardinals’ past week“strange.”

That’s a perfect way to put it.Middleton, ranked seventh in the

latest state poll, won two of its threegames last week and improved to 6-1.

The Cardinals toppled Janesville,4-2, last Tuesday and routed MadisonEast/La Follette, 13-0, last Thursday.

Interestingly, the Cardinals’ bestperformance probably came in their 1-0 loss to Ashwaubenon last Saturday.

In between, Middleton had a brushwith the athletic code and will bewithout three players for six games.

Middleton opened the week with asolid win at Janesville. The Cardinalstrailed, 2-1, heading to the third peri-od. Middleton then rallied for threegoals in the final period.

“We left some hockey on the ice,”Libert said. “We played, but did notplay with any get up and go. If aJanesville player was ahead of us orchallenging us we let them have thepuck.”

Freshman Davis Bunz gave theCardinals a 1-0 lead in the first period.But the Cardinals trailed, 2-1, aftertwo.

In the third period, KevinWolfinger scored on an assist fromBunz just 38 seconds into the stanza toeven things, 2-2.

“We won with an uninspiredeffort,” Libert said.

The Cardinals then cruised pastMadison East/La Follette.

Danny Klagos led the way withthree goals, while Bunz had two goalsand three assists. Jordan Carey hadtwo goals and two assists, CaseyHarper had two goals and an assist and

Chase Dickert had two goals. BothTaylor Dickert and Ethan McLeodadded a goal.

The Cardinals had 78 shots ongoal, while East/La Follette had justtwo shots on goal.

“This was not a tight fought con-test, but it let a lot of guys get goodwork in and work with each other,”Libert said. “We moved the puck welland played a fairly unselfish game,which often can be difficult underthese circumstances.”

Middleton then suffered its firstloss of the year against AshwaubenonSaturday.

The Jaguars scored the game’s onlygoal in the second period, then heldon. Middleton outshot Ashwaubenon,32-16, but couldn’t convert any of itschances.

“It was a non-win, but we did a lotof good things that if we build on willhelp us be better in the long run,”Libert said. “Our forwards were themost disciplined, position wise, asthey have been all season.

“We easily outchanced and outshotthem, but their goalie played a whaleof a game. It was one of those daysthat the puck just did not go in thenet.”

Libert still likes how his short-handed team is shaping up. But heknows there’s much work to be done.

“Overall our risk-reward compassis still out of kilter,” he said. “We takehigh risks that are fraught with lowrewards. We need to begin to re-cali-brate it this week in practice.

“I think we don't always recognizehow important the blue lines are in agame, other than representing an off-sides line. Sometimes high school ath-letes want it all right now, but it takestime to build a team and time to builda winner.”

Middleton’shockey teamwins 2 of 3by ROB REISCHELTimes-Tribune

Cardinals moveto 6-1 overall


Jack Kvistad and Middleton’s hockey team are ranked No. 7 in the state.

It was another terrific week forMiddleton’s wrestling team.

The Cardinals took a big steptowards winning the Big EightConference with a 45-24 win atJanesville Craig last Tuesday.

The Cardinals then finished third atthe 13-team Appleton West Invite lastSaturday. Appleton North and LittleChute won the tournament with 198points each, while Middleton was aclose third (195.5).

“We did really well,” Middletoncoach Kent Weiler said. “But we alsodidn’t go all that way to lose. We knewit was pretty close.”

Middleton senior Jake Cainimproved to 18-0 on the season bywinning another championship at 138pounds. Taggart Haase also finishedfirst at 170 pounds, while Wyatt Corywas third at 195. Brett Cain (113),Grant Laurent (152) and Lon Yeary(220) all finished fourth.

Jake Cain had a memorable day,pinning all five of his opponents. Cainwas also named ‘OutstandingWrestler’ of the tournament.

Cain opened with a pin ofMarshfield’s Jeremy Brost in just 24seconds, then he pinned Kimberly’sJake Olsen in 1:03. In his quarterfinalmatch, Cain pinned Manawa’sDominic Schuelke in 20 seconds, thenhe pinned Little Chute’s MattVandenberg in 1:50. Finally in thechampionship match, Cain pinnedWausau East’s Brook Whitehead in 56seconds.

“He’s reaching that level,” Weilersaid. “I’ve never seen him this domi-nant. He’s out with a vengeance.”

Haase opened his day with pins ofDePere’s Bryce Timm in 2:51 andWausau East’s Jacob Viehweg in 1:33.In the quarterfinals, Haase won amajor decision over Marshfield’sBrett Hasbrouck, 11-3. Then Haasepinned Hortonville’s Cody Laabs in5:14 in the semifinals. In the titlematch, Haase defeated Little Chute’sEric Epping, 9-3.

“Every day his ceiling and stockare going up,” Weiler said of Haase.“Right now, he’s in the top 15 kids inthe state in that weight.”

Cory received a first round forfeit,then pinned Little Chute’s MaxKeyzers in 29 seconds. Cory pinnedHortonville’s Dustin Kuettel in 3:08 inthe quarterfinals, then lost a 13-1 deci-sion to Manawa’s Casey Johnson inthe semifinals. Finally, Cory defeatedKimberly’s Drew Tomasovic, 5-3, inthe third place match.

“My hat’s off to Wyatt,” Weilersaid. “He was throwing up before hislast two matches and still battled hisway to third.”

Brett Cain lost his first match, thennotched a pair of pins to battle his wayback to the third place match. There,Cain lost to Little Chute’s LarsSchrader, 8-0, and settled for fourthplace.

At 152, Laurent opened with three

consecutive pins and worked his wayinto the championship bracket. There,Laurent lost a 3-2 decision toHortonville’s Nate Rynish, thendropped the third place match toKimberly’s Kordell Schmoll, 5-2, andfinished fourth.

Yeary opened his day with a pin, aforfeit victory, and a win by decision.But Yeary was pinned in his fourthmatch, then was also pinned in thethird place match and settled for afourth place finish.

Earlier in the week, the Cardinalsgave a spirited performance and top-pled Janesville Craig to improve to 2-0 in the Big Eight. A year ago, theCougars toppled the Cardinals andboth teams wound up as part of athree-way tie atop the conference.

“After last year, we had this matchcircled on our calendar,” Weiler said.“We don’t like to share.”

Brett Cain (113), Jake Cain (138),Nathan Dresen (182), Cory (195) andYeary (220) all notched pins for theCardinals.

Justin Swiersz also recorded an 8-6, overtime victory at 120 pounds,while Mike O’Shea (126) earned a 10-4 win. Grant Laurent notched a big, 2-1, win at 152, while Brandon Best hada 10-8 victory at 160. Taggart Haasealso recorded a 5-0 win at 170.

Wrestlers third at AppletonCain, Haase winchampionshipsby ROB REISCHELTimes-Tribune


Middleton’s Wyatt Cory finished third at 195 pounds at last week’s Appleton West Invite.


It wasn’t the outcome they wanted.But there were several encouraging

performances in Middleton’s 97-77loss to Madison West in a boys swim-ming meet last Thursday.

“The West meet went well,”Cardinals coach Luke Lengfeld said.“We didn’t get the outcome we werelooking for, but the boys swam verywell and battled to the end.

“There were a few races that welost that we needed to win to take themeet. Even though we lost the meet Iwas very happy with how the guysswam and competed.”

There were several positives in theloss.

Middleton’s Jackson Uselman wonthe 100-yard freestyle (48.50) and the200-yard freestyle (1:49.59). ZackParkin won the 50 yard freestyle

(22.01), Nick Lund won the 100 yardfly (54.68) and Matthew Kim was firstin the 100 yard breast stroke (1:04.40).

Middleton’s 200-yard free relayteam of Uselman, Jack McGovern,Lund and Parkin was also first(1:29.20).

Jacob Aegerter was second in the200 yard IM (2:08.73).

Middleton’s 200-yard medley relayteam of Cooper Green, Matthew Kim,Lex Peterson and Lars Haskins wassecond (1:58.73). And the Cardinals’400-yard free relay team of Uselman,McGovern, Lund and Parkin was sec-ond (3:19.23).

“They continue to drop time as theseason moves along even when theyare training very hard,” Lengfeld saidof his swimmers.

Swimmers fallto Madison Westby ROB REISCHELTimes-Tribune


Middleton’s Zack Parkin won the 50-yard freestyle against Madison West last week.

Afterwards, several Verona playerswaited near the Middleton lockerroom. They could be heard sayingthey wanted to fight certain membersof the Cardinals.

But security escorted the Wildcatsfrom the building.

Needless to say, the rematch inMiddleton on Feb. 1 should be inter-esting.

“It was a really hostile environ-ment,” said Rongstad, who finishedthe game, then found out about thebroken bone in his hand the next day.“But I was really proud how weanswered when it got close.”

Junior guard Demond Hill led abalanced Cardinal attack with 10points — eight of which came in thefourth quarter. Senior forward KadeSchultz also had 10 points, whileRongstad had nine points and sixsteals — all in the first half — beforesustaining his injury.

“We just had to stay focused,” Hillsaid. “There was a lot of talking and alot of yapping the whole game. Butwe just stuck together as a team and itpaid off.”

For much of the night, it seemedMiddleton would cruise to an easywin.

The Cardinals trailed, 8-4, midwaythrough the first quarter when theywent on a 10-0 run. Junior forward

Chris Little got the fun started with athree-point play, then junior guardLuke Schafer and Schultz knockeddown three-pointers as Middletonsurged to a 14-8 advantage.

Middleton’s lead was 18-14 late inthe first quarter when it went on a 14-0 run over the next 3 ½ minutes.Rongstad had nine points and threesteals in that stretch, while Schultzhad the other five points as theCardinals’ lead ballooned to 32-14.

“That was a really good stretch,”Bavery said.

With Middleton leading, 32-18,though, Rongstad took his fall. Heplayed sparingly from there, and theWildcats took advantage.

Verona chipped away and closedthe half on a 13-5 run to pull within37-27 at the break. The Cardinals

forced 13 first half turnovers —including 11 steals — but felt theirlead should have been more.

“We let them back into the game,”Rongstad said. “That was frustrat-ing.”

The Wildcats kept pecking awaythroughout the third quarter and fin-ished the period on a 7-0 run to closewithin 43-41 heading to the fourthquarter. The most frustrating playcame on the final possession of theperiod.

Verona’s John Tackett launched a40-foot three-pointer as the clock hitzero. But Tackett was fouled on theplay, made two of three free throwsand pulled Verona within 43-41.

“Their guys never quit,” Baverysaid. “But neither did we.”

Indeed.

Rongstad, who sat out most of thethird quarter, came back and restoredsome order. Hill then made all threeof his field goals and had eight fourthquarter points as the Cardinals pulledaway.

“I was going to stay out if we hadkept a big lead,” said Rongstad, a nat-ural right-hander. “But it got too closethere.”

Just briefly.Tyler Markel knocked down a 5-

footer to open the fourth quarter scor-ing. And after Hill drained a 15-foot-er, Markel scored again asMiddleton’s lead grew to 49-41.

After a Verona free throw, Hill hada rebound basket, a free throw, and asteal and basket. And that quick,Middleton’s lead had ballooned to54-42.

“We’ve got a team that’s reallydeep,” Hill said. “Everyone can play… and I was just the guy to step uptonight.”

Verona closed within 58-50 with2:15 left. But the Cardinals held theWildcats to one point from there —and limited Verona to two fourthquarter field goals.

Meanwhile, Middleton shot 7-of-11 in the fourth quarter (63.6%).

“I’m never going to apologize forwinning,” Bavery said. “We let themback in it, but we also have a lot ofguys that helped us win it.”

Unfortunately for Middleton, itwill be without one of those playersfor a while.

“We really were aggressive inthere. We were happy with a lot ofthings, but we certainly can’t be satis-fied with doing a lot of good thingsagainst a really good team.

“We know where we can be better.The effort, the attitude, we absolutelylove it, but at some point your besteffort isn’t good enough and you’vegot to execute as well.”

Demond Hill led Middleton (4-3overall, 4-3 Big Eight) with 15 pointsand seven rebounds. Kenji Passiniadded 11 points, including three 3-pointers.

Nick Fuller, a 6-foot-7 Nebraskarecruit, paced Sun Prairie with agame-high 29 points and eightrebounds. Sophomore NickNoskowiak, another Division 1 talent,added 18 points. The pair combined toscore 32 of Sun Prairie’s 33 first-halfpoints.

“That’s their team right there,” Hillsaid. “Everyone else is contributors,but we cut them out.

“We went hard on the boards andcut them out, but we just couldn’t stop(Fuller and Noskowiak) from scoring.Noskowiak would miss and Fullerwould come in with a tip or theywould go all the way to the rim andmake easy layups where we shouldhave been cutting them off and gettingcharges.”

With Luke Schafer playing pointguard in place of Rongstad, Middletonwent toe-to-toe with Sun Prairiethroughout the first half. Neither teamled by more than five points.

A three-pointer by Passini knottedthe game at 10 before Noskowiakclosed the opening period with a bas-ket and two free throws.

Passini struck again in the secondquarter, drilling a three-pointer to pullMiddleton within 21-19. Consecutivelayups by Hill and Schafer and a pairof free throws by Chris Little gaveMiddleton a 25-21 advantage withthree minutes, 7 seconds remaining inthe half.

Sun Prairie regained the lead at 27-25 on a pair of free throws by Fuller,but Passini answered with anotherthree-pointer at the 1:32 mark. SunPrairie closed the period out with a 6-0 spurt, though, including a putbackby Fuller at the buzzer to make it 33-28 at halftime.

“The buzzer-beater kind of broughtus down … like what do we have todo?” said Hill.

The basket capped a 21-point firsthalf effort by Fuller.

“Fuller is just big,” Hill said. “Hewas everywhere just shooting, layingup, and rebounds. He was big.”

Sun Prairie broke it open with an 8-0 run in the second half. Noskowiaksparked the run with a layup andadded two free throws.

“We got it all the way back to a tie,they had a little putback at the buzzerto bump it to four or five at half, butthen they jumped on us right away inthe second and had a nice run,”Bavery said. “Now you’re really bat-tling from behind against a goodteam.”

Sun Prairie outscored Middleton12-4 in the third period to take a com-manding 45-32 lead into the final peri-od.

Trailing 52-35, Middleton went ona 9-0 run to pull within eight points atthe 4:20 mark. Chris Little scored on a

putback, Passini converted a pair offree throws, Hill made a jumper andthen converted all three free throwsafter being fouled on a three-pointattempt.

Fuller answered with a three-point-er from the corner, however, and SunPrairie never looked back the rest ofthe way.

“We jumped into a little trap zonelate and it caused some things, but ithad some holes in it too,” Bavery said.“I think we cut it to seven at one point.Then Fuller hit a big three out of thecorner and then they did a nice jobagainst that trap of just running size onthe baseline.”

Sun Prairie (6-1, 5-1) was comingoff a last-second loss to unbeatenMadison Memorial.

“That’s a heck of a team,” Baverysaid of Sun Prairie. “They’re fourth inthe state and they’ve been beatingeverybody by 30 and then Memorialbeats them at the buzzer.”

Middleton actually outreboundedtaller Sun Prairie, 30-26, including a

13-7 edge on the offensive boards, andforced 18 turnovers. But Middletonalso had 24 turnovers of its own.Middleton converted just 17-of-29free throws, while Sun Prairie made21-of-27 from the line.

“When you force 20 turnovers andyou do a heck of a job blocking outdefensively, but then you don’t takecare of the ball and you don’t knockdown key free throws it’s going to behard to beat a team like that,” Baverysaid.

Besides his leadership, Rongstad’sexperience and versatility will bemissed in the lineup. The 6-foot-5Rongstad was one of the first playersto come off the bench last year andplayed both guard positions and smallforward.

“Obviously, Derek’s been puttingup some stats in terms of steals andpoints,” Bavery said. “We have toabsorb them collectively, we don’tneed one guy to get outside of what henormally does.”

While Bavery commended the

short-handed Cardinals’ effort, herefused to accept any moral victoriesdespite the absence of Rongstad andother injured players including IanHokanson (concussion) and AndrewTorresani (shoulder surgery).

“One thing we cautioned about isit’s easy to come in and get that moralvictory and say, ‘You know what, wereally competed with a heck of a teamwithout Derek, without Ian and that’sgood enough,’ ” Bavery said. “To aman, everybody says, ‘No, it’s not.’

“We have to go down to Craig(Friday) on a mission and we have togo to Fort (Saturday) on a mission. It’sjust who we are for the next fewweeks and we’re fine with that. WhenDerek comes back, when Andrewcomes back and Ian comes back we’regoing to hopefully jump to anotherlevel.

“When we get people back at somepoint, hopefully it’s a synergistic kindof effect and it will make us that muchstronger in the long run and that’s theway we focus on it.”

“This week we have a couplegames where we hope to showimprovement on a few differentfronts,” Kind said. “We’ll probablysee some aggressive half court zonedefense and some full court pressurefrom both West and Verona, so wehave to be ready for everything.

“I think we can develop into a pret-ty strong team. Right now, our inexpe-rience still rears its head sometimes,but I like our potential.”
