Impervious surfaces like pavementand rooftops prevent rain water fromsoaking into the ground. It runs

through the citys drainage systemeventually ending up in streams andlakes picking up sediments and pollu-tion on its way. This problem is notunique to Middleton and federal andstate requirements have been applyingincreased pressure on cities to controlthe pollution and environmental degra-dation caused by storm water.

Middletons storm water runoffproblems have been getting set asidefor several years. Historically, fundinghas come from the city councils an-nual budgeting process. Since at least2006, not one request for funding hasmade it in the budget. The problem isstorm water management must com-pete against more tangible things likeroad maintenance or public safety.Projects or services like these tend tobe a higher priority.

Managing the runoff can be a costlyprocess that needs continual funding.Implementing a utility puts a mecha-nism in place that can provide stable,

continuous funding. Middletons storm water utility

would cost residents $15 a year. The

$15 covers one Equivalent RunoffUnit, or ERU. One ERU in the City ofMiddleton is defined to be equal to2,880 square feet, which is the citysaverage quantity of impervious area ona lot with a single family house. Allresidential units (single family lots, du-plex units and triplex units) will be as-signed one ERU each. Anon-residential lot with ten times theimpervious area of an average singlefamily house would be assigned tenERUs.

Neighboring communities includingMadison, Monona, McFarland, Fitch-burg, Sun Prairie, DeForest, andVerona have previously implementedstorm water utilities. The public utilitywould be organized as a separate enter-prise like the Citys water or sewer util-ity. It would own storm sewers,detention basins, and equipment usedfor managing storm drainage systems.

The Springfield Town Board votedon Tuesday, Sept. 16 to oppose an up-date to resource protection corridors inDane County.

The item was placed on Spring-fields agenda per a request from the

county for town input on a zoning up-date related to hydric soils and chang-ing from a 100-year floodplain to a500-year floodplain. Board membersbegan discussions on this item byclaiming that the county has not pro-vided the Town of Springfield with anymaps outlining the areas that would beaffected.

My biggest concern, commentedtown supervisor Jim Pulvermacher, istheyre doing this without proper noti-fication.

Pulvermacher further advised theboard that zoning hydric soils has beendiscussed by both the Dane CountyTowns Association and Dane Countyat various intervals throughout recentyears, and that it was his view that it isan example of the county attempting toclaim more power from the townships.

To me, its overreaching and Imjust going to leave it at that, continuedPulvermacher, I think it should come

Middleton Dress Co. co-owners,Linda Lenzen and Sheryl Batten, takecommunity service to heart and legs,arms, and, um, torso. In business sinceDecember of 2012, the pair have en-gaged in multiple fundraising causeseach year, most pertaining to womensissues.

Lenzen has decorated bras and do-nated them for auction to raise moneyfor breast cancer recovery. Last year,she said, she spent 60 hours sewing360 buttons on one bra. It fetched$450. This year she spent 40 hoursbeading sequins on a bra for Bras for aCause, to be held at the Marriott Hotelon October 9. Local males, some wear-ing the uniform of their professions,such as firefighters and policemen, willremove their gear and parade the brasfor purchase, Batten and Lenzen said.The two women also support Boxersand Bras, focused on prostate andbreast cancer, a benefit for the UWCarbone Cancer Center.

When does al this time-consumingfancywork get done?

I do (bra dcor) when I watch TVin the evening, Lenzen said.

In addition, the pair are outfittinglocal women for runway work to ben-efit DAIS Domestic Abuse Interven-tion Services. This years event, to beheld at the Overture Center on October2, features models ranging in age from15 to 78, Batten said.

We like to include our customersand local community people in ourcharitable fundraisers, Batten noted.

Middleton High School sophomoreRebecca Lorfeld will be modeling anunusual prom dress. The black swanmeets Cinderella, is how Lenzen de-scribed the gown. The charcoal fulltulle skirt sweeps the floor, with a satinbeaded bodice and asymmetric satinribbon trim completing the elegance.

Lorfeld, who is an MHS JV FootballManager and lacrosse player, eagerlyagreed when Batten asked her to walkthe runway for the fundraiser.

When I was a little girl I loveddressing up and giving fashion showsfor my friends, Lorfeld explained.Its a childhood dream.

But more than that, Lorfeld said thathaving learned about domestic abuse inschool and from the news, she is re-ally proud and honored to be takingpart in such a wonderful cause as this.

Shes gonna be a knock-out,Lenzen crowed. Rebeccas absolutelygorgeous in it.

The Middleton Town Board has ap-proved borrowing $600,000 and usingabout $300,000 from cash reserves tofinance construction of salt shed andparking lot now being built south oftown hall.

The borrowing will be structuredover seven years to hold the impact onproperty tax bills next to about $4 perhousehold, said Town AdministratorDavid Shaw.

Well look for low interest rates atlocal banksThere will be minor im-pacts on the tax levy due to debt serve[from this project]] over the next sevenyears, Shaw said.

The board approved the FinanceCommittees recommendation to struc-ture the loan for interest-only paymentsduring the first three years and then payoff the principal in equal annual install-ments.

The committee also suggested that ifthe town would sell the 78-acre East-wood Farm, proceeds should go to-ward paying off the salt shed loan.

Site preparation has begun on the$993,000 project that constructs a6,400-sqaure-foot shed just west ofFire Station #2. The building is ex-pected to accommodate a seasonsworth of road salt, plus store other roadmaterials, and rent 1,200 square feet tothe Middleton Fire District.

Adjacent to the salt shed will be an80-stall parking lot to add parking for

youth baseball games at Pioneer Park. The board also approved construc-

tion of a sixth amphitheater at PopeFarm Conservancy using funds do-nated by Christine Williams. In anemail to former Park Commissionmember, Mel Pope, Williams wrotethat she wanted a personal memorialbuilt for Cindy Schultz Munson whoenjoyed the conservancys trails andview.

The cost of the amphitheater is esti-mated at about $2,500 and Williamspledged to cover the cost.

Most of the conservancys am-phitheaters seat about 12-15 personsand located to give visitors a place torest, take in the view or hear a presen-tation, said Deputy Clerk Sara Ludtke.

The project is expected to be com-pleted this fall.

The board continued discussions inclosed session without reaching anagreement on a new contract with Mid-dleton Emergency Medical Service.

The current contract has been in ef-fect for more than 20 years and nowcosts the town about $180,000 annu-ally, said Shaw.

Its first-rate service, Shaw said.We have no problem with that, butthe town board is looking to make sureits being fairly charged.

We dont want to subsidize the city[of Middleton] and we dont want thecity to be subsidizing us, Shaw said.

Municipal Court Report - City of Middleton

See COURT, page 11


Know It AllSocrates said: I know that I know

nothing. It was a claim that famouslymade him the wisest man in all ofGreece, because he at least knew onemore thing than everyone else.

My first philosophy professor knewquite a bit. She was a lean, jaggedwoman, with spectacular long hair,worn like a frizzy cape the color of atraffic safety cone.

She was, she explained to us, ananti-feminist. In multiple books withvaguely bawdy titles, she argued thatmodern feminism was based on thepresumption that women are inferiorand must therefore be coddled. Onewas called Feminism Under Fire.Another, called Undressing Femi-nism, featured a sultry photo of her onthe cover, her white dress being re-moved by a pair of bodiless malehands.

She was, I thought, sending somevery mixed messages to feminism. Isshe trying to kill feminism, or seduceit? I whispered to one of my class-mates.

We heard rumors she could do one-

handed pushups. That she travelledmysteriously to the Middle East to con-sult various government agencies onthe nuances of what is or is not torture.(Given the draconian nature of hertests, it seemed safe to assume she wasa pretty enthusiastic proponent of wa-terboarding.)

To her, scoffing around stupiditywas unavoidable like sneezing nearpollen or crying in close proximity toonions. It was just something that hap-pened in a world populated by the dull.

Sometimes she would gather up herhair, with masochistic aggression thatsuggested it had been misbehaving,and swirl it into some kind of leaningtower on top of her head, inexplicablyholding it together with something Icould have sworn was a chopstick. Assomeone who has trouble using chop-sticks for their intended purpose, I hadnever dared consider branching out andtrying non-conventional applications.

One morning in logic class, she toldus about a recent date. Her suitor hadconsumed 10 beers and a few oystersthrough the course of the evening.When he grew ill, he proclaimed toher: Im never eating oysters again.

I wont be seeing him again, she

barked. Anyone who struggles somightily with causation strikes out withthis woman.

She was someone who argued vehe-mently against the existence of god,then - just to confuse us, we figured -married a Catholic guy and mentionedshe might be converting.

She had a habit of asking whyover and over again, until you in-evitably entered treacherous intellec-tual territory. That one word, utteredover and over, has the power to un-hinge even the brightest student, be-cause eventually everyones well ofknowledge runs dry.

At the end of every debate with her,young men and women all said thesame thing: I really have no idea.

She would smirk, pleased that shehad taught us something.

One morning, a student in our logicclass collapsed and lost consciousness.I was worried about him, but also sus-pected him of doing it as a desperate,ultimately successful attempt to get outof taking that mornings impossiblequiz.

Why, I admonished myself asmedics rolled him away, didnt I thinkof that!

We were shaken, but vaguely com-forted by the fact that there was ab-solutely no way our professor wouldmake us finish the pop quiz while wecould still hear sirens.

But we had forgotten, this wassomeone who had probably watchedpeople get electrocuted with a car bat-tery during interrogations in hot,sandy rooms.

We at least had air conditioning, shethought. We were wimps.

Im sure that frightened many ofyou, she said magnanimously as themedics headed down the hallway andthe door to our classroom closed. Iwant to be fair, so I wont count thattime against you and you can haveuntil 10:15 to finish.

Id have a hunch she made a trip tothe hospital after class ended that day,just to bring that poor guy the test. Itwould have been fitting for her to handit to him, like a bouquet of flowers,then sit by the edge of the bed with astopwatch. I want to be fair, shedsay. So if you lose consciousness, Iwont count that time against you.

I was also in her classroom on Sep-tember 11, 2001. While most otherteachers simply gave up on the day, let-ting the terrorists win, I guess, she satus down for a very lively debate aboutethics and religion, foreign policy andsocial norms.

This, she explained as we heardbizarre reports of planes crashing intobuildings, is why we study philoso-phy. This is why we ask the questionswe ask.

One autumn, I left college for aweek and headed home to Massachu-setts. My mom dragged me to somekind of party an assemblage of peo-ple who frowned upon interesting con-versation.

I was standing on the outskirts of theevent in order to avoid the usual line ofinterrogation from adults: Youre ma-joring in philosophy? What type of jobwill that get you? How much do

philosophers get paid these days?It wasnt their snark that stung it

was the fact that they were asking mewhat amounted to rhetorical questions.They knew the answers, but theywanted to hear me say them aloud:Yes. None. Not much.

While hiding, I stumbled across alittle boy. He was like a toddler, butslightly less wobbly in stance and ver-biage.

So, I began. Whats your name?Gus, he replied.I asked all the questions adults are

expected to ask when making conver-sation, doing my best impersonation ofthe people who liked to accost me.Where did he live? Did he go to schoolyet? What did his parents do? Was heenjoying the holidays? Did he knowhow hard it was to find a job with abachelors degree in philosophy?

He answered most questions with ashrug, as if I were asking him how tokeep a souffl from deflating or howmany years we had until the sunburned out.

Im only five, he eventually said.I dont know much.

Fair enough, I said. You justmight be the smartest person here.

He shrugged again and gallopedaway.

Today, when people ask me myviews on politics or parenting, on theenvironment or gun laws, I take a pagefrom my friend, Gus, who was the wis-est man in Massachusetts one day,many years ago.

Im only 35, I tell people. I dontknow much.

Bad homeowners can give us all a bad nameThe Middleton Times-Tribune has

asked me to write a monthly column,although the column wont necessarilyappear the same week of each month.Topics may include entrepreneurialism,business, politics, the environment, andsometimes the intersection of a few ofthose. Keep in mind that the columnreflects my views and opinions; notthose of the Middleton Times-Tribune.And yes, we may disagree.

Many people think developers harmthe environment, yet they are happy tolive in the homes and apartments andwork in the offices and shop in thestores that we develop. Without devel-opers, wed all be living in caves.

What they dont know is that manydevelopers contribute to a better livingand working environment for all of us.In fact, as an example, Ive probablypaid for and caused to be planted moretrees than any environmental non-profit, any government body, and anybusiness in the county.

Unfortunately, sometimes people do

cause harm. Usually I find that its thenon-professional, non-developer orhomeowner that does something self-ish that harms either the environmentor adjacent properties. For example -the buyer who buys a wooded lot andthen cuts all the trees down. What wasthe point of buying a wooded lot?

I can think of another example inthis area, not far from Middleton,where someone purchased a virtuallynew German castle (built only aboutten years ago for a reported $6 million)that was located high on top of a bluff,about 75 feet above the water, and thentore it down this summer to build aneven newer home.

The owners contractor didnt botherto install silt fence along the adjacentproperties to prevent erosion, in partic-ular erosion that might harm the bluff.They also cut down some trees whoseroots are holding the delicate sandstonebluff together.

Worse, after building a house 75 feetup from the lake, the owner recently in-stalled a massive steel or aluminum,multi-level superstructure to allowthem to hike down to a pier at waterlevel. This thing is gigantic and sticks

out from the bluff maybe as much as25 feet or more and is highly visible toboaters, fisherman, and recreationalusers on the lake. Talk about a visualblight on the landscape, especially inthe winter after the leaves fall and veg-etation on the bluff is no longer par-tially camouflaging the impact.

First, I have to ask - is it really goingto be worth hiking down and up 75 feetfor a swim or to use a boat? Second, ifthe buyer wanted lake access theycould have bought a house anywhereon the lake at lake level for the approx-imate $1.8 million they paid.

Third, if they had bothered to askanyone in their neighborhood theywould have learned that storms fre-quently smash and rip apart piers andsteel landings that were previously in-stalled on brow of the bluff, becausethis particular point takes the brunt ofthe storms and waves that come racingacross the lake, which makes it notworth installing a dock. Worse, thebluff is made of primarily sandstoneand has been falling down in chunksfor many decades until erosion controlmeasures were put in place by individ-ual owners. One primary contributing

factor of bluff erosion has been the in-stallation of structures like this one; theold steel beams that were pounded intothe bluff many decades ago have expe-rienced erosion around them, looseningsand and causes cracks in the sand-stone, which then lets in water, whichfurther erodes the bluff and eventuallycausing a chunk to cleave off and fall.

Im a firm believer in propertyrights, but does a single homeownerhave the right to damage the face of aprominent and local natural feature?Do they have the right to endangertheir neighbors because of their short-sightedness and lack of willingness tothink the consequences of their ac-tions?

And where was the DNR on thisone? Or the village plan commission?How could anyone in good conscienceapprove such an incredible scar on thebluff? Well, let me tell you. Accordingto the DNR, if the stairway structuredoes not impact below the OrdinaryHigh Water Mark (since it is com-pletely supported by the bluff), it doesnot require a permit and is exempt.Likewise, the village where this is lo-cated lacks any regulations in regards

to the same issue. The sad part is that as this structure

will get beat up by the waves and thebluff will erode and the structure willbe left to deteriorate and fall apart overtime, because the cost to fix it andmaintain it and the bluff will becometoo expensive, and then well all suffera continuing visual blight. (The leastthe owner could do is paint it tan tomatch the color of the sandstone bluff.)

This superstructure should neverhave been installed. If a buyer wantslake access, they should have bought ahome with lake access. If they buy ahouse on a bluff, they should expect toretain and preserve the bluff and theyshould not jeopardize the quiet enjoy-ment of the neighbors or endanger theirproperties by their deliberate intrusioninto the natural setting.

Remember, this wasnt an accident.They had designed and built a massivestructure so as to try to overcome thenatural forces that they and their engi-neer knew would be acting upon thestructure and the bluff.

To the editor,

Weve lived next to the PheasantBranch Conservancy for the pastdecade and continue to marvel at thediverse opportunities it offers. On anygiven day, we can hike the trails, joinbirding groups, work with other volun-teers to control invasive species andcollect prairie seed, lead school chil-dren on a field trip, tend our plot at theBock Community Garden or simply sitand enjoy the beauty, peace, and quiet

from atop Fredericks Hill. We feelvery lucky to have the Conservancy atour back door.

But we cant take the Conservancyfor granted and neither can you! Walkthe corridor south of Century Avenueand youll see failing gabions andriprap, eroding bluffs and scouredstream banks. Walk a little further andyoull see the breach of the contain-ment structure at the Confluence Pond.Try to walk the trail along DemingWay after a major storm event - youll

need a canoe. What a waste of efforts of so many

dedicated partners who have worked sohard and spent thousands of taxpayerdollars to protect and restore the Pheas-ant Branch corridor. Middletonsstorm water management system isfailing because the City lacks a dedi-cated funding source to adequatelymaintain the dozens of storm sewers,detention ponds, infiltration basins andother control devices that require reg-ular maintenance to remain effective.

The solution is a storm water utilityfor Middleton that maintains existingfacilities through a fair funding mech-anism based on the amount of runoff aproperty generates. For an owner of asingle-family home, this would amountto $15 per year less than the cost of ameal for two at a Middleton restaurant!What a small amount to pay to protectthe crown jewel of Middleton thePheasant Branch Conservancy - andto do our part to protect the down-stream Chain of Lakes.

Please join us on Nov. 4 to vote YESfor the Middleton Storm Water Utilityreferendum. Lets protect our invest-ment for this generation and those tocome!

therefore could not provide any TIF as-sistance besides a request for assistancein shoring, a process of propping upsoil to keep it in place.

This needed to get attorneys re-view because we arent allowed to fundor provide assistance to newly plattedresidential in our TID #5, planning di-rector Eileen Kelley explained. Wetalk about workforce housing, so wedidnt know if it would meet that, butbecause it is not a redevelopment, in-fill, or blight removal it doesnt qual-ify. We could recommend approval of

$105,000 in shoring expense thatwould prevent the pubic road from po-tentially collapsing in.

If we would have got the sequenc-ing a little different there wouldnt beneed for this expenditure, pointed outplan commission member Leif Hub-bard.

City administrator Mike Daviswrote in his comments for the last Mid-dleton Plan Commission meeting thatthis is something the city has providefunds for, yet he thinks it could havebeen prevented in previouscases.

The amount requested for shoringadjacent to Tribeca Drive strikes me assomething that could have beenavoided through the developers Gen-eral Development Plan and SpecificImplementation Plan approvals. Myinitial reading is that the city should notsupport that request, Davis wrote tocommission members.

Davis did however make an assis-tance recommendation.

Up to $233,108 of the proposed en-ergy/efficiency measures could be as-sisted, Davis notes. The request for

soils assistance ($60,000) could begranted upon favorable review by theCity Engineer. Any assistance grantedwould be developer-financed with theCitys pledge of support from TIF. Intotal, I recommend that no more than$293,108 of the proposed assistance($738,632) be approved in that man-ner.

We all have the letter from T. WallEnterprises describing the request forassistance being timely, said ald. HansHilbert. I guess the only thing wecould provide TIF assistance for would

be the $105,000.If thats all we can do thats all we

can do, responded ald. Wexler.Given the fact that legal counsel

has provided their opinion on approv-ing only one and not the other request,I would have been in the position ofrecommending the full amount giventhe overall effect it will have on the de-velopment.

The Plan Commission approved arecommendation to city council to fundup to $105,000 for shoring costs.

The utility would be responsible forproviding storm water management tomeet public needs and comply withFederal and State laws. It would alsowork to solve current and futuredrainage problems, as well as repair,maintain, and enhance facilities al-ready constructed.

Municipalities that previously im-plemented a storm water utility did nothave to ask for voter support in a ref-erendum. Middleton must do so be-cause of recent changes in state law.Wisconsin Act 20, passed in 2013, re-quires that property taxes must be re-duced by the amount collected by autility, unless voters pass a referendumallowing that the property tax levy notbe reduced.

District 7 alderman Hans Hilbert hasbeen a driving force behind imple-menting the utility. Managing stormwater was a high priority when he wasrunning for the seat in 2006. He says

he has been working on it so long he isbarely interested anymore.

It has been the same problem since2006, Hilbert explains. How do weget these projects funded because wehave to do them?

Hilbert says if the city had just cre-ated the utility in 2010 when he firstproposed it rather than continue to lookfor other budget options they wouldnot have to do a referendum at thispoint.

Walkers administration came upwith this grand idea that they are goingto eliminate cost shifts to utilities, be-cause certain municipalities could usethat as a way around the levy cap,Hilbert details. So they shut downthat gap but unfortunately it applied toeven legitimate utilities that were beingdeveloped at that time.

Hilbert says he wishes the city didnthave to create a utility but he believesits wishful thinking to count o the

funding needed to come from the cityscapital budget.

It would be so much simpler if byresolution the council could just sayevery year we are going to put$200,000 aside and it is going to be ina segregated fund just for that,Hilbert points out. It just never hap-pens; a Valley Ridge Road or a Middle-ton Street will come along and we willjust borrow from there.

The Mayor Kurt Sonnentag has saidhe doesnt like the idea of the utility,although he supports the needed im-provements and projects. He and othercritics have pointed out the city councilalready has the power to fund watermanagement in its regular budgetingprocess. Sonnentag also says he does-nt like the cost it puts on non-profitslike schools, churches, and communityorganizations. The mayor also pointsout that, by bringing in revenue fromcitizens in the form of a fee rather than

a tax, municipalities can create artifi-cially low tax levies for public relationspurposes.

Under the utility customers whogenerate the larger share of runoff paya proportionately larger share of thecost. This applies to allstructures equally regardless of for-profit or non-profit status. Hilbert sayswith a $15 cap per ERU the cost is stillrelatively low.

At least 79 communities in Wiscon-sin have established a storm water util-ity. ERU rates across the state rangefrom $9 to $126, with a state averagerate of $60.00.

Tom Wohlleber, assistant superin-tendent of business services for theschool district, said administrators areaware fees might be on the horizon.Wohlleber said the district set asidesome funding to help soften the blow,if the city does approve a utility.

Hilbert says he knows some resi-

dents that have been proactive in sup-porting the referendum, and has seenlittle opposition from the businesscommunity. He says most businessesare aware of the cost and are comfort-able with a $15 ERU.

People that are from around herehave grown up in this culture wherethey do value our water resources andthey understand that it doesnt comewithout a cost, Hilbert comments. Ithink we are going to see pretty widespread support.

Ald. Hilbert says he is confident thereferendum will pass and the utilitywill ultimately come to fruition, if notin this election then maybe the next.

A no vote in my mind just meanswe need to educate the public more onthe topic, he contends. But I am veryoptimistic that the public is smartenough to understand this at thispoint.

back to the towns, and I dont think Ineed the county to do this for me.

A motion that the town oppose theupdate on resource protection corridorsbe opposed by Springfield was put for-ward by Pulvermacher, and voting onthe board carried said motion unani-mously.

Springfield also held a public hear-ing and voted to convene a specialboard meeting that took place on Tues-day, Sept. 23 so as to allow the townboard to take official action on the pro-posed Environmental TIF for theSchneider Road Business Center.

The public hearing was held for boththe town board to ask questions about

the upcoming process to potentiallycreate the TID, and to allow residentsa chance to ask questions about theTID as well. Jim Wills, the owner ofthe Schneider Rd. Business Centerproject was present at the meetingalong with engineer Andrew Bremmerof MSA who were both available tohelp answer questions about the recentsite investigation that was conducted atthe property in July. Discussions onthe results of the investigation indi-cated that notable levels of Chromiumand Arsenic were detected and ob-served to be contained within the site,and that the proposed remediation planthat had been under review by the

DNR had been approved. Further discussions indicated that

the total value of the TID could be asmuch as $1.3 Million, and that currentestimates are showing there will be suf-ficient cash-flow through the TID topay off any remaining debt service byas early as 2024. The Springfieldboard needs to take action on this itemfor it to move forward in any mannerprior to a scheduled meeting of the TIDJoint Review Board meeting which hasa meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Sep-tember 23rd, 2014 at 5:30pm.

The Springfield board voted unani-mously to schedule a special boardmeeting to take action on the item at

5:00pm on Tuesday, September 23rd,2014 as the item was not technicallyslated for potential action on the nightof Sept. 16.

Additionally, a discussion regardingthe potential creation of a park commit-tee to assist with planning and usagefor the as-of-yet unnamed SpringfieldTown Park. Discussion on the item in-dicated that the land was once again inneed of mowing before the end of2014, and that the town was potentiallylooking to also advertise the site aspark by putting up a sign.

We should put something up,commented Supervisor Jim Pulverma-cher, to notify the people whats com-

ing. The board indicated they were look-

ing for interested volunteers to assistwith a park committee, and to beginlooking for pricing for potential signsto notify the public of the lands futureusage.

The board further approved opera-tors licenses, tabled discussions re-lated to potential speed limit changeson Schneider Rd, scheduled meetingsfor upcoming budgetary discussionsthroughout the month of October, andpaid the towns bills before adjourningthe meeting.

Middleton and a portion of the town ofSpringfield. The existing agreementbases the cost share on each municipal-itys assessed property evaluation. The

town of Middleton, which has a $1 bil-lion-plus property tax base and 5,000-plus population, may be better off if thecost basis shifted from property value

to population, Shaw said.It wouldnt be a huge difference

now but going forward wed like tohave something more comfortable as

times change. There doesnt seem to bean objection from the city with that,Shaw said.

The board also approved funds tosurvey a trail easement between Cari-bou Rd. and Pheasant Point Woods.

As a cancer advocate, I know howimportant these issues are in the fightagainst cancer, Bremer said. I letRepresentative Mark Pocan and Sena-tors Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwinknow that they have a real opportunityto improve the health of not only Wis-consin residents but our entire nation.By funding the fight against cancer andsupporting these critical proposals, wecould save thousands of lives.

During his meetings with lawmak-ers, Bremerwho lost his father andhis brother to canceremphasized theimportance of ensuring that lifesavingcolorectal cancer screenings are afford-able for seniors. Unfortunately, manyAmericans avoid this lifesavingscreening because they cant afford theout-of-pocket costs. The new healthcare law waives co-pays for colono-scopies in the private insurance market,

but Medicare patients can still becharged when a polyp is found and re-moved during the procedure. Bremerand other advocates urged lawmakersto support legislation that corrects thisproblem and eliminates the potential ofsurprise bills for many seniors.

Colorectal cancer is the secondmost common cause of cancer death inthe United States, but the good news iswe could prevent nearly half of all col-orectal deaths if everyone received rec-ommended screenings, said SaraSahli, Wisconsin government relationsdirector for ACS CAN. By ensuringeveryone over age 50 can afford to bescreened, we will save countless livesfrom this disease.

Advocates also told lawmakersabout the importance of palliative care,which addresses the pain, stress andother side effects that can accompanya cancer diagnosis and treatment. Pal-

liative care is appropriate for patientsof any age and at any stage of illness toimprove their quality of life and that oftheir loved ones. Volunteers asked law-makers to co-sponsor bipartisan legis-lation that would make palliative carereadily available to those who need it.

Bremer also voiced concern over thederailment of federal funding for can-cer research and prevention programs.He reminded lawmakers of the criticalimportance of the federal investment inthe National Cancer Institute and theCenters for Disease Control.

As part of this years ACS CANLeadership Summit and Lobby Day,Bremer and other advocates attendedtraining sessions on communicatingwith elected officials, engaging themedia and conducting grassroots activ-ities in their communities.

Cancer patients know all too wellthe devastating impact of cancer, said

Bremer. When I visited Washington,D.C., I asked our lawmakers to putaside partisan politics and instead fightto bring an end to cancer. We cant af-ford to let promising research go to

waste, and when we have opportunitiesas a nation to prevent cancer throughscreenings and reduce sufferingthrough palliative care, we must act.

Seventh annual Gildas Run is Oct. 5 in MiddletonGildas Run, presented by New-

comb Construction, is a 5K run/2mile walk and an importantfundraiser for Gildas Club Madison,a local Cancer Support Community.It will take place this year on Sunday,October 5 at 10:30 a.m.

The event kicks off at Ruths ChrisSteak House in Middleton, winding

through the neighborhood hiking andbiking trails before ending at GildasClub. When participants reach thefinish, theyll be treated to a partyfeaturing live music, freshly grilledRuths Chris hamburgers and Cul-vers Frozen Custard Sundaes.

Gildas Club relies on events likeGildas Run to fund programs and ac-

tivities that are always offered at nocharge to anyone facing any kind ofcancer and their loved ones. GildasClub programs are critical to themen, women and children they serve;however the value of Gildas Clubprogramming is best communicatedby members like Heather Mc-Manamy:

In April of 2013, I was just youraverage 33-year-old working mom.

Then, the cancer bomb wasdropped on our family. The day I wasdiagnosed with stage 2 breast cancerwas the day our old life ended andour new normal began. Cancerwas something I had never thoughtabout and certainly never thought

could happen to me, especially at myage.

Shortly after my diagnosis, peoplestarted mentioning Gildas Club. Ihad never heard of Gildas, had noidea what it was and I wasnt sure ifGildas Club was right for me. At mydozens of doctor appointments, I was

always the youngest one in the wait-ing room, often by decades.

Then I heard about Gildas YoungSurvivors group. So, I gave Gildas atry.

When I walked through the reddoors for the first time, it was wel-coming and comfortable. Then Iwalked into a room full of people myage who were in my shoes. Wordscannot express how comforting thatwas.

Gildas Club really has been a

game-changer in my cancer journey.To have people to talk to through allof the ups and downs I experience isincredibly helpful. To see people whoare out the other side of treatmentliving their lives was also importantbecause I see that this new normalcan be just as awesome as my oldlife.

Recently the bomb dropped againand this time its stage four. My can-cer journey continues as I re-starttreatment. But knowing Gildas Club

is here is a great comfort to me andeveryone in my family.

When I was diagnosed, I was sur-prised by how many people I knewhad lives or knew people whose liveswere affected by cancer, be it acousin, grandmother, father orfriend. It also seemed like everyone Imet wanted to help but didnt knowhow.

I can tell you that if you want tohelp someone who has been affectedby cancer, help Gildas Club. It has

had a very big impact on so many dif-ferent people in so many differentways. Its an incredible resource andI want to help make sure others havethe opportunity to benefit fromGildas Club like I do.

So, please think about joining uson October 5th for the walk or to run.Its going to be a fun day! Or pleaseconsider donating to be there inspirit. Its a great cause that is veryclose to my heart.

The song remains the same. Andits one Middletons girls tennis teamis thrilled to keep singing.

The Cardinals wrapped up anoth-er Big Eight Conference dual meetchampionship last Tuesday follow-ing a 7-0 win over Janesville Craig.Middleton finished the conferenceseason 9-0 in dual meets and went aremarkable 61-2 in those matches.

Im glad we were able to winconference again, Middleton seniorEmily Oberwetter said. At thebeginning of the season there wassome uncertainty on how we wouldmatch up with some of the otherteams since we had so many playersgraduate last year.

But after our first couple ofmatches it became fairly clear thatwe would still be able to come out ontop of our conference. I think it wasespecially a great experience for thenew members on the team to be apart of a team this strong.

Kaisey Skibba, Middletons No. 1singles player, agreed.

Everyone felt great about win-ning conference, especially thenewer varsity players, Skibba said.

Middleton lost four seniors fromlast years WIAA Division 1 statechampionship team. And many won-dered if the Cardinals could stay atopthe Big Eight.

But Middletons program has ter-rific depth. And most of theCardinals top players hit year round,which puts them ahead of many oftheir peers.

In the Cardinals win overJanesville Craig, Skibba rolled atNo. 1 singles and Amanda Huff wonat No. 2 singles. Liddy Whritenour

and Emily Bruhn also posted wins atNo. 3 and 4 singles, respectively.

Allison Ragsdale and Oberwetterrolled at No. 1 doubles. Baylie Goldand Lauren Coons cruised at No. 2doubles, while Megan Peyton andJessica Wang won at No. 3 doubles.

It was great to win conference,said Middleton junior AbbeyWebber, who normally plays No. 1doubles. Everyone on our team wassuper excited, especially the newerplayers.

Going undefeated and only drop-ping two matches against all theteams was great, and not every team

Middletons boys and girls crosscountry teams have been models ofconsistency for years now.

Theyve been dominant forces inthe Big Eight Conference. Theyveshined in the postseason and been sta-ples at the state meet.

But the 2014 Cardinals might bepoised for their greatest levels of suc-cess in quite some time. LastSaturdays star-studded MidwestInvitational seems to be proof of that.

In the premier cross country eventof the year, both of Middletons teamsput on a show.

The Cardinals girls were secondout of 30 teams, while Middletonsboys were third out 37 teams. As goodas Middletons programs have been,neither gender had cracked the top-three at this event since at least 2008.

Finishing second and third at thismeet is a huge deal, Middleton co-coach Isaac Mezera said.

Thats for sure.Middletons girls finished fourth at

state the last two years, but hadntbeen higher than fourth at the MidwestInvite in that time. But the Cardinalschanged that this year.

Dodgeville-Mineral Point won themeet with 125 points, while theCardinals were a close second at 132.Madison West was third (133), whileWisconsin Lutheran (159) andArrowhead (186) rounded out the topfive.

This was their dress rehearsal for
