Tom Schraeder, executive director
of Hodan Center in Mineral Point,

spoke before the Middleton Common
Council recently to express his dis-
agreement with council members
views about compensatory wages for
people with disabilities.
Last month the council denied a pro-
posal from Innovation Kitchens LLC
to set up a tented produce market on
the empty lot next to city hall where the
Middleton Outreach Ministries
(MOM) building once stood. The city
purchased the property and financed
the subsequent demolition of MOMs
former headquarters.
At the urging of city staff, Innova-
tion Kitchens requested a $1 lease
through October as a means of con-
ducting a trial-run.
The council ultimately rejected the
proposal for several reasons, but spent
a large portion of the discussion criti-
cizing CEO and the founder of Innova-
tion Kitchens, Rick Terrien, regarding
the proposed business models connec-
tion to Hodan Center, which pays com-
pensatory wages to people with dis-
abilities.
Im here because I was very con-
cerned when my friend Rick Terrien
came back from the last council meet-
ing and said he was basically accused
Dane County executive Joe Parisi
last week sent a scathing message to
members of the Capital Area Regional
Planning Commission (CARPC), call-

group illegal and irresponsible.
I am writing to express my aston-
ishment and dismay at the commis-
sions vote to increase Dane Countys
levy charge for CARPC by nearly 80
percent to $1.3 million, Parisi wrote
in a letter dated July 14. This action
was not only illegal, it was irresponsi-
ble and, quite frankly, insulting to
every elected official in Dane County

year to find budget solutions that allow

A Middleton alder is embroiled in a
legal battle with her landlord, and the
outcome of the dispute could deter-
mine whether she is able to retain her
seat on the city council.
Ald. Miriam Share (Dist. 1) has filed
a complaint in Dane County Circuit
Court alleging that 7781 Elmwood Av-
enue Associates, LLC, is trying to evict
her in retaliation for notifying the city
building inspector about code viola-
tions at the property. Share is seeking
a judgment that her eviction in unlaw-
ful. She is also requesting an injunction
to prevent her from being removed
from the property and damages.
7781 Elmwood Avenue Associates
has filed its own complaint. While the
company did not return a call for com-
ment, court documents indicate 7781
Elmwood Avenue Associates is seek-
ing to remove Share from her Valencia
Place apartment. The landlord has also
requested back rent and an extra mon-
etary penalty from her.
Said lease terminated on June 30,
2014, but defendant has refused to va-
cate premises, the landlords com-
plaint states, and is now a holdover
tenant. Defendant is liable for twice the
daily rent due under said lease.
Shares complaint indicates she re-
ceived a letter on March 10 with an
offer to renew her old lease beginning
on July 1.
However, according to Shares com-
plaint, she also brought numerous

dents of our community.
Parisi had instructed county depart-
ment heads to fund operations at cur-
rent levels with no additional spending.
According to the county executive,
CARPCs proposal would unilaterally
take nearly $600,000 from other
county departments.
Perhaps the commissioners who
voted for this 80 percent levy increase
could also suggest which departments
we should now de-fund to pay for your
suggested increase in CARPCs
budget: Child Protective Services, 911,
Highway? Parisi wrote. Should we
de-fund the newly established non-
mandated school mental health crisis
teams the county is funding in Verona,
Sun Prairie and Madison?
The Dane County Board three days
later voted approved a resolution back-
ing Parisis position, with supporters of
the measure saying it was their only
way to stop a budget change that would
rob vital funding from other depart-
ments.
The countys position is that
[CARPC] should follow the same
guidelines as every other department,
said county board chair Sharon Corri-
gan of Middleton. This would take
money from other departments.
Corrigan said she is well aware
money is tight and budgeting requires
hard choices.
You know, every department can
make an argument for why its under-
funded, she said. The budget process
each year is tough.
The county boards resolution means
the matter will either head to arbitra-
tion or the courts.
Unless CARPC opts to back down,
that is.
I would request and strongly rec-
ommend that the commission meet in
emergency session to rescind your ac-
tions of last Thursday and submit a
proposal that aligns with the law as
well as the fiscal realities with which
we all must deal, including levy limits
and decreasing state and federal re-
sources, wrote Parisi.
Those who support CARPCs fund-
ing request said the organization,
which is in charge of reviewing appli-
cations for water and sewer extensions
from developers that could impact
water quality, has been chronically un-
derfunded for years.
Middleton mayor Kurt Sonnentag,
who resigned from the CARPC board
last year, has for years contended the
organization does not have enough
funding to perform its work.
[T]he financial situation at CARPC
has been deteriorating for years and the
commission will soon run out of
money, said Sonnentag. A bold move
was needed and I was encouraged by
the CARPC vote. The additional
money for which the commission
voted is but a mere drop of water in the
county budget bucket and reflects what
the commission absolutely needs to
perform the work it is required to do.
Joe Ball, a retired DNR water qual-
ity biologist who now serves on the
Town of Blue Mounds Plan Commis-
sion and the CARPC board, said the
groups work is important and deserves
adequate funding.
Its the only agency that does any
real future planning in Dane County,
Ball said. Its looking ahead to protect
our water quality.
[CARPC] has been underfunded
for a long time, Ball continued. Its
gotten to the point where commission-
ers have decided to forgo payments be-
cause there simply isnt enough
money.
Starting this year, CARPC instituted
additional fees which, charged during
the application process, were supposed
to help cover its funding shortfall. But
the fee revenue is separate from the
budget increase that so incensed the
county executive.
It is time for the county board and
the county executive to recognize and
understand what CARPC is all about
and fund its basic needs, said Sonnen-
tag. If they dont want to do that, then
I suggest that the county bow out of re-
gional planning and let the cities, vil-
lages and towns take on this
responsibility, including the taxing au-
thority.
CARPCs vote may have also given
ammunition to its longstanding critics.
Tim Roehl, a realtor who sits on the
Middleton Town Board and is vice
president of the Dane County Towns
Association, said CARPCs budget
was a definite thumb in the eye, in
your face vote.
The main thing CARPC is sup-
posed to do is discuss and vote on
urban service amendments, said
Roehl. This year they have a total of
four going before them.
Roehl said delays of as much as six
months between the time those appli-
cations are filed, and the time CARPC
issues a decision, are hindering the re-
gions economy.
This is real estate 101 you need
new construction inventory as an en-
gine to drive your economy, he said.
With no new construction, theres no
engine to pull the train. CARPC is
holding up that train.
CARPC was created in 2007 with
an executive order issued by then-
Governor James Doyle. The commis-
sion is composed of 13 commissioners
appointed by the mayor of the City of
Madison (four), the Dane County ex-
ecutive (three), the Dane County Cities
and Villages Association (three), and
the Dane County Towns Association
(three).
CARPCs budget cannot be vetoed
by the county executive and does not
need to be approved by the full county
board.

Middleton host families for
international students sought
Visiting students, ages 15-18, from
around the world including Germany,
Spain, Switzerland, and Thailand are
seeking host families in and around
Middleton for the upcoming 2014-
2015 academic school year.
Host families are needed for the fall
semester and full school year. Host
families (traditional families, singles,
empty nesters, etc.) serve as mentors
and a home base for their student.
Visiting students participate as ac-
tive members of the family and inte-
grate into their hosts daily routines and
traditions just like any other family
member. Hosting an international stu-
dent is a great way to explore a new
culture and promote a sense of lifelong
learning and adventure.
Every year Wisconsin plays host to
many talented, top-of-their-class stu-
dents with the lifelong dream of study-
ing in America, reports Emily Rolin,
iE-USAs Area Director. Emily ads,
Wisconsins spirit of hospitality and
focus on academic enrichment makes
it an ideal environment to develop cul-
tural exchange and promote interna-
tional diplomacy on a local level.

Produce
market
closes
The Middleton Produce Market will
close, according to a press release is-
sued by Innovation Kitchens founder
and CEO Rick Terrien last week.
The markets site, across from the
Marriott on John Q. Hammonds Drive,
was intended to be a temporary loca-
tion to let the operation get started be-
fore a permanent spot was ready in
downtown Middleton.
The downtown spot was initially of-
fered to the market, by city staff, as a
location that would be easily available
for Middleton residents to buy fresh
produce at an outdoor market on a
daily basis.
But the proposal to utilize the city-
owned former Middleton Outreach
Ministry headquarters site on Hubbard
Avenue was voted down by the Mid-
dleton Common Council last month.
We had plans in place for the
downtown market to offer partnerships
to the library and other downtown
businesses to help bring a new vi-
brancy to downtown Middleton, said
Terrien. We saw a downtown market
as supporting Middleton residents and
local businesses with great Wisconsin-
grown produce. We had support from
the mayor, city administrator and staff.
Unfortunately, the offer made to us was
voted down.
Weve tried hard to promote the
market site across from the Marriott,
he continued. Unfortunately, this tem-
porary site was not a consumer-
friendly location. After finding that we
were not able to build traffic at this site
we have decided to close the Middle-
ton Market.
Terrien said he is grateful to the
management of the Marriott Madison
West for its support.
They have been most generous in
sharing their space with us, and we
wish them the very best, he said. We
are especially grateful to the many new
customers and friends we made while
serving Middleton and the area.
As our customers from the Marriott
site know, we brought great, regionally
grown produce to the Middleton mar-
ket, he concluded. We buy mostly
from Wisconsin family farms, and this
was another great opportunity for peo-
ple in Middleton to support local agri-
culture in our area.
The Middleton Common Council
had invited Terrien to bring the pro-
posal back for a second consideration,
but Terrien declined.
concerns regarding the safety and
maintenance of the building to the
attention of property management.
Share alleged that the heat went out
on multiple occasions during the win-
ter, water service was interrupted
multiple times, and she and other ten-
ants became trapped in a broken ele-
vator in which there was not a
functional emergency call box.
She also shared with property man-
agement a photo of an anonymous
note posted in the building, warning
prospective tenants not to live there.
Joe Krupp, a representative for Elm-
wood Avenue Associates, then wrote
to Share that he would take appro-
priate actions when he learned the
identity of the notes author.
Share responded by pointing out
that landlords are prohibited under
state law from retaliating against
renters.
Shares complaint alleges that after
the buildings management failed to
remedy all of the problems she
brought to their attention, she con-
tacted the citys building inspector,
Scott Ellarson, with a list of com-
plaints about her unit, the common
areas and other renters units. Those
neighbors are also her constituents.
Ellarson visited the property and
found three code violations. Ellarson
also mandated a maintenance plan for
the elevator in which Share said she
and other residents had become
trapped.
On May 19, three days after con-
tacting Ellarson, Share received a let-
ter from Prime Urban Properties, the
buildings management company, re-
scinding her lease renewal offer. She
submitted her renewal anyway, but it
was declined and the security deposit
was returned to her.
Share must reside within the citys
1st Aldermanic District in order to
keep her seat on the Middleton Com-
mon Council.
Share declined to comment on the
dispute.

of taking advantage of people with dis-
abilities, Schraeder said to the coun-
cil. I was saddened to hear that
because I know no person of higher
character and caring for people with
disabilities than Rick.
It was not just the content of the dis-
cussion that prompted a response; Van
Nutt, executive director of the Middle-
ton Chamber of Commerce, said he
was uncomfortable with hostile tone of
the meeting at which the produce mar-
ket was voted down.
I have been coming to council
meetings for roughly 11 years and I
was a little concerned about the tenor
of the last council meeting, said Nutt.
It is difficult for people to address the
all empowered body and I just ask
moving forward, regardless of good
days or bad days for an individual, you
represent the city. I hope that we
would give every speaker every oppor-
tunity to share as best they can their
story and what they are trying to do.
We are not always going to agree with
each other and love the projects that
come before but hopefully we can con-
tinue to be the good neighbor city and
be respectful.
Schraeder explained to the council
that Terriens proposal had no direct
connection to compensation for people
with disabilities. Terrien, a private
business owner, wanted to establish a
downtown tented produce market that
would promote donating vendors
abundant or over-ripened produce to
the Hodan Centers Wisconsin Innova-
tion Kitchen operation. The Hodan
Center is a rehabilitation center for
adults with disabilities. They offer em-
ployment, food, transportation, and
senior day services, as well education
and training and operate five retail/re-
sale stores in southwest Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Innovation Kitchen
(WINK) is a food processing center
and catering service. The kitchen
opened up four years ago. It is owned
and operated by the Hodan Center.
The 10,000 square foot facility in Iowa
County specializes in jams, pickles and
relishes, dry soup mixes, baking mixes
and dips.
Innovation Kitchens is an LLC that
partners with WINK and regional
farmers and producers for business de-
velopment. Though the proposal to the
city did not lay out a specific target for
the amount it would be able to donate
or the number of jobs for people with
disabilities may be created, Schraeder
vowed that Terrien would be doing
more good than harm.
Our center is in a rural area where
it is often very hard to find jobs for
folks, but our center has placed more
people with competitive jobs in the
community than any other agency in
southwest Wisconsin, Schraeder
noted. While we do that we still have
a number of folks that we cannot find
the jobs for. We will never stop look-
ing for that job at minimum wage and
above. Not everybody is able to work
at the productivity level businesses
want.
Schraeder says the only other option
for those who cant meet the markets
demand for productivity is to do noth-
ing at all. He added that he would love
an invite from the council to come
back and explain the details of how
they determine a compensatory wage.
Many with disabilities receive assis-
tance through social security. Since the
benefits have income restrictions, com-
pensatory wages are partly influenced
by avoiding cuts to assistance.
Over 80 percent of people with dis-
abilities have no jobs, so anything we
can do to help them needs to be done
and the last thing we need to do is fight
each other ablaut that job not being
good enough, Schraeder said to the
council. All jobs are important, all
jobs are valued and we have to do more
for the people with disabilities that are
part of our lives and our community.
Alders brought up other various
concerns that ultimately led to the
council denying the request, though the
high tension and accusations at the be-
ginning of the discussion could have
set a mood. Other concerns were the
fairness of the deal - why Terrien
would get a $1 lease over any other
vendor - added traffic and parked vehi-
cles, possible damage to the grass, and
the loss of green/open space.
From a council perspective we
were given very little information on
the proposal, we asked some very dif-
ficult questions to be answered in a
short amount of time, said ald. Hans
Hilbert. Unfortunately those answers
were not there. I dont think it was the
councils position to take the idea and
throw it away but at that time we didnt
have the information we needed to
make that decision.
Hilbert said he would encourage the
mayor and city staff to get the details
laid out and it may still be possible ei-
ther tis summer or next. Schraeder told
the council the deal was no longer vi-
able for Terrien and that he has moved
on.

Kim Laufenberg, 24, of Middleton,
has been accepted into the Peace Corps
and was scheduled to depart for
Namibia on Monday of this week to
begin training as an education volun-
teer.
Laufenberg will live and work at the
community level to make a difference
teaching math to secondary students.
She will also have the opportunity to
engage in other activities with her
school and community.
The code of ethics Peace Corps
stands by initially motivated me to
apply, Laufenberg said. Then, seeing
the impact the Peace Corps has, not
only on other people but also on the
volunteers themselves, compelled me
to accept a position.
Laufenberg is the daughter of Fred
and Mary Laufenberg of Waunakee.
She attended the University of Wiscon-
sinPlatteville in Platteville, Wis.,
where she earned a bachelors in envi-
ronmental engineering with minors in
mathematics and renewable energy in
2014.
At UWPlatteville, she was a mem-
ber of the womens rugby team, out-
door recreation staff, residence hall
association and Global Amigos in ad-
dition to teaching yoga and studying
abroad in New Zealand.
Kim brightens every social situa-
tion she engages in, said Laufenbergs
friend, Andrew Hansen, of Albu-
querque, N. M. Her positive attitude,
love of people and farm-girl work ethic
are inspiring. Shes like a little power-
house of good cheer. Id be sad to see
her go if I wasnt so happy for all of the
people she will impact in Namibia.
During the first three months of her
service, Laufenberg will live with a
host family in Namibia to learn the
local language and integrate into the
local culture. After acquiring the lan-
guage and cultural skills that will help
her make a lasting difference, Laufen-
berg will be sworn into service and as-
signed to a community in Namibia
where she will serve for two years.
Laufenberg will work in cooperation
with the local people and partner or-
ganizations on sustainable, commu-
nity-based development projects that
improve the lives of people in Namibia
and help Laufenberg develop leader-
ship, technical and cross-cultural skills
that will give her a competitive edge
when she returns home. Peace Corps
volunteers return from service as
global citizens well-positioned for pro-
fessional opportunities in todays
global job market.
I want to be challenged, and I may
be truly uncomfortable at times. Yet, I
will take away so much more and de-
velop new skills to handle a variety of
situations that I otherwise may have
never encountered, Laufenberg said.
Professionally, I want to apply my en-
gineering skills to better the place Ill
be living and truly help the people
there.
Laufenberg joins the 213 Wisconsin
residents currently serving in the Peace
Corps. More than 5,846 Wisconsin res-
idents have served as volunteers since
the agency was created in 1961.
There are currently 130 volunteers
in Namibia working in the areas of ed-
ucation, health and community eco-
nomic development. During their serv-
ice in Namibia, volunteers learn to
speak the local languages, including:
Afrikaans, Khoekhoegowab, Damara,
Oshikwanyama, Oshindonga, Oti-
jherero, Rukwangali, Silozi and Thim-
bukusha. More than 1,405 Peace Corps
volunteers have served in Namibia
since the program was established in
1990.
About the Peace Corps: As the pre-
eminent international service organiza-
tion of the United States, the Peace
Corps sends Americans abroad to
tackle the most pressing needs of peo-
ple around the world. Peace Corps vol-
unteers work at the grassroots level
with local governments, schools, com-
munities, small businesses and entre-
preneurs to develop sustainable
solutions that address challenges in ed-
ucation, health, economic develop-
ment, agriculture, environment and
youth development. When they return
home, volunteers bring their knowl-
edge and experiences and a global
outlook back to the United States, en-
riching the lives of those around them.
President John F. Kennedy established
the Peace Corps in 1961 to foster a bet-
ter understanding among Americans
and people of other countries. Since
then, more than 215,000 Americans of
all ages have served in 139 countries
worldwide. Visit www.peacecorps.gov

Land for Sale
Even in my childhood, I had an ap-
preciation for public lands. The block
that my house was situated on in Ap-
pleton held a public park, just walking
distance from my house.
All I had to do was to cut through
my neighbors backyard to get to the
vacant field that was adjacent to a pub-
lic playground. It was heavily used by
the local children.
We chased butterflies and grasshop-
pers in the field, creeping slowly upon
one or the other with a garbage can lid
in our hands. When we were close
enough, wed toss the lid on the poor,
unsuspecting creatures.
Then, we laid on our stomachs and
peeked with one eye, lifting the lid, just
enough to squeeze our hand beneath it
to grab the critter. For a little while
wed keep them in peanut butter jars
with plenty of holes in the lid.
In the winter, the field was flooded
and became the gathering place for
hockey games and crack-the-whip.
At age ten, I was allowed to play in
the ravine across Packard Street. The
ravine was ringed by steep hills that
held trails, rocks and wildflowers.
The steepest hill was closest to the
road. People drove from other neigh-
borhoods In the winter for the speedy
sled rides. When the right kind of
snow fell, we built moguls half way
down the hill.
When we were old enough to bike
around town, we went from one park
to another trying out the different play-
ground equipment or exploring the
creeks and hillsides.
During the summer after eighth
grade, my friends and I set our sites on
Plamann County Park, about six miles
from my house. It took a bit of con-
vincing, but our mothers finally let us
go.
In 1969 we cycled through farmland
to get there. Plamann Park had a small
picnic area, but was mostly woods at
that time. There was a pond, too. We
caught frogs and tadpoles, getting our
tennis shoes soaked in the endeavor.
In high school, my friends and I dis-
covered High Cliff State Park. We
drove out in May to see the lake fly
hatch and later in the summer to swim
and hike.
I went to public hunting lands with
my high school boyfriend and his
brother. I didnt carry a gun, but I
learned about grouse, the habits of deer
and other wild animals and birds that
lived there.
Its on those public lands that I ex-
plored and fell in love with nature. Its
where I felt free from the everyday
constraints and noise of life in the city.
My parents didnt own our own
home. We didnt have a car. But by
being a citizen of the city of Appleton,
Outagamie County and the State of
Wisconsin, I was part owner and had
access to the city, county and state
parks and hunting land that every citi-
zen is entitled to share.
No wonder I am dismayed that the
majority of Wisconsins current legis-
lators have slashed the conservation
budget and have directed the DNR to
sell 10,000 acres of our public lands.
This is a grievous move in the wrong
direction for our state, its wildlife and
citizens.
I cant explain it better than that
Wisconsin League of Conservation
Voters says it on their website:
Since its creation in 1989, the
Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program
has protected some of the most beauti-
ful and diverse land and waters in Wis-
consin places where we hunt, hike,
fish and canoe. Named after two Wis-
consin Governors who led the way in
conservation Republican Warren
Knowles and Democrat Gaylord Nel-
son the Stewardship Program has al-
ways enjoyed overwhelming support
from voters of all political stripes. In a
bipartisan poll conducted by The Na-
ture Conservancy, nearly 90% of Wis-
consin voters agree that even in tight
fiscal times this program should be a
priority.
Until very recently, the Stewardship
Program also enjoyed sweeping sup-
port from legislators across the politi-
cal spectrum. However, in just the past
two years, support has declined inside
the Capitol.
There are legislators now working to
slash the Stewardship Programs
budget and sell off its land to private
owners. In the 2013-2015 state budget,
legislators reduced overall funding of
the Stewardship Program by $63 mil-
lion over the next six years, diverted
$14 million for fish hatchery develop-
ment, and directed the DNR to sell at
least 10,000 acres in the next four
years. Among voters, widespread sup-
port for the program continues while a
sense of shock and outrage that deci-
sion makers have gone so far afield is
beginning to emerge.
In 1900, after Interstate Park was
created as Wisconsins first state park,
John Nolen, was hired to search for
other suitable sites. He raised a ques-
tions to state officials and citizens that
needs to be raised today:
The issue appears plain. Is Wiscon-
sin going to look upon its bays and lake
shores, its rivers and bluffs, its dells, its
inland lakes, its forests, as natural re-
sources to be conserved and some por-
tion at least acquired and held for the
benefit of all the people both for pres-
ent and future generations? Is the State
to display foresight and act in time in
this important matter, recognizing and
providing for the increase of popula-
tion?
Legislators of that time heard and
rose to the challenge. John Nolens re-
port created the vision and rationale
and set the criteria for state land pur-
chases. It also included the preserva-
tion of places of scientific or historical
significance and provided public ac-
cess for all people. His report clearly
stated the economic value of investing
in public lands.
Wind and
the Pillows
Hurricanes used to be like holidays.
We would sit around, comforted by
piles of batteries, canned goods, can-
dles and board games, as the wind
pummeled the boarded up windows on
our elderly but stalwart New England
home.
I used to imagine we were survivors
of a zombie plague on those howling
nights, when the flicker of the candles
danced coyly with our retinas. My dad
was our leader. My little sister was
there to use as a decoy if any of the un-
dead smashed through the door.
Then I grew up. A few weeks after I
moved into a college dorm in northern
Florida, I walked out onto the balcony
and noticed a puzzling scene. Everyone
seemed to be going camping. Everyone
except me.
Squinting down, I saw cars filled to
the point of explosion with backpacks
and food, filing out of the dormitorys
parking lot.
Hhmm, I thought casually, greet-
ing befuddlement like the old friend it
is. I should probably find out whats
going on.
Heading downstairs to the common
area (I didnt have a television), I saw
a small group of people huddled
around the TV, their eyes wide as those
of an old cartoon character. They were
watching a radar image of a swirling
rainbow of hazardous colors headed di-
rectly toward Florida. The hurricane, I
thought to myself with a touch of
alarm, looked to be about the size of
Russia.
Its name was Floyd, and according
to a subsequent National Hurricane
Center report it was a monster. The
storm produced a flood disaster of
immense proportions in the eastern
United States, according to the center.
On the bottom of the television
screen was a single word, scrolling
over and over again: Evacuate!
I strolled, in the slightly jerky man-
ner of someone trying to stay cool
under great emotional duress, back up
to my room. In the few minutes Id
been gone, my roommate, who I sud-
denly suspected was The Flash or
maybe some kind of wizard, had gath-
ered all his belongings and fled.
The storm was troubling, yes, but so
was the fact that, with all my room-
mates stuff gone, I realized I owned a
grand total of seven things.
Am I poor? I suddenly asked my-
self when I realized I didnt possess
shampoo, socks or even pillows for my
bed.
A cursory inventory of my room re-
vealed I also had zero batteries, no
radio, nothing that even resembled a
board game, and one very forlorn
scented candle, which had mysteri-
ously appeared in our bathroom a few
days earlier.
I also did not have a car, or even a
bicycle. It hadnt seemed vital when I
planned my move to St. Augustine.
Its Florida, I had thought to my-
self with a shrug. Getting around will
literally be a walk on the beach.
I hadnt envisioned a scenario in
which I was forced to flee on foot from
an angry Poseidon.
My nearest relative lived in Massa-
chusetts, and I had focused all my en-
ergy during my first few weeks in
college on aggravating my professors,
rather than making friends my own
age.
I tossed things around in my room,
primarily beer funnels and music CDs
mixed in with the odd textbook, look-
ing for something useful. The best I
could come up with was a rubbery old
bagel and a half-eaten jar of peanut
butter. I hadnt purchased either of
them, but I felt comfortable claiming
them since I was probably going to die
and would therefore never face the
consequences.
Our school, which was once a hotel
for the uber-wealthy, was gorgeous - an
ocher and white assortment of Spanish-
influenced spires and terraces, dappled
with verdant palm trees.
My dorm, however, was a later ad-
dition to the campus. It was the realiza-
tion of an architect whose sole desire
had clearly been to make people feel
vaguely trapped inside grey, institu-
tional facilities where even cinder
blocks were considered garish.
I wasnt keen on hanging out there
on bright, sunny days while I was alive.
I certainly didnt want it to become my
tomb, despite the fact that it already
looked like one.
Unsure what to do, I dragged a
cooler full of cheap beer down to the
nearly empty parking lot. Perched atop
it, I pondered my next move carefully,
like a champion chess player whose
king is perilously close to running out
of places to flee.
A shaggy-haired surfer, wearing a
Boston Red Sox cap, a blue and white
tank top and flip-flops that made him
sound like a horse trotting on cobble-
stones, strode across the lot. He was
followed by a rag-tag mob of what ap-
peared to be groggy, vaguely dude-ish
refugees.
I looked more closely and recog-
nized something: they were people like
me. Each carrying one or two items
and nothing else. One guy simply had
a collapsible lawn chair. Another, I no-
ticed with a twinge of envy, was carry-
ing a pillow.
As they piled into a rusty Volkswa-
gen bus, someone I vaguely recognized
from English Literature 101 stuck his
head out.
Matt, right?
I nodded.
Get in!
I stood up and started walking to-
ward the vehicle, but was quickly
turned back by much hand waving and
yelling.
Bring that! they yelled in the per-
fect unison of a well-trained choir,
pointing at the bulky cooler.
We made our way inland for the
next 12 hours. We were joined by
nearly every resident of coastal
Florida, a fact that significantly slowed
our pace.
We spent most of our time idling or
driving at a leisurely pace of about 15
miles per hour. The decrepit bus over-
heated when not in motion, so we were
eventually forced to turn the engine off
during lengthy stops. Eventually, fear-
ing we might run out of gasoline and
be stranded on the side of the Florida
interstate - a place that is decidedly the
domain of serial killers, rogue alliga-
tors and insects bigger than both of
them - we decided to simply push the
van on the downhill stretches.
Crashing on the floor of a cigarette-
scented Tallahassee motel room that
night, I chatted with my fellow travel-
ers and gazed up at a little TV screen.
On it, CNN was recapping the desper-
ate evacuation attempts of Floridas
weird, sleeve-hating population.
As you can see, the newscaster
said with palpable excitement, people
are doing whatever it takes to get out
of the storms path.
An overhead image popped into
view on the fuzzy television. Taken
from a helicopter, it showed a motley
assortment of young men, wearing flip-
flops, shorts and sunburns. They were
pushing a rusty van down a gridlocked
stretch of highway.
It looked like the beginning to a
pretty decent movie about the zombie
apocalypse.
Its, stuttered a voice from
somewhere else in the motel room.
Its us!
There were 57 deaths directly attrib-
uted to Hurricane Floyd. Most, accord-
ing to the National Hurricane Center,
were due to drowning in freshwater
flooding. It was the deadliest hurricane
in the United States since Agnes of
1972, causing $1.325 billion in dam-
age.
But I was spared. Since I didnt re-
ally own anything, it didnt even cost
me much. And it made me famous,
even if only a small handful of guys in
a smelly hotel room knew it.

CHURCH NOTES
Middleton familys treehouse featured on Animal Planet
A Middleton family will appear in
the Friday, July 25 episode of Animal
Planets television show, Treehouse
Masters.
Treehouse Masters follows world-
renowned treehouse builder Pete Nel-
son as he travels across the country
building the ultimate treehouses for his
various clientele. The show has been a
hit with viewers who dream of having
a treehouse of their own, according to
a statement issued by the channels
publicity department.
That dream came true for Brad and
Diane Duesler, who were overjoyed to
have their backyard transformed into
an art-inspired studio as a gift from
their three children.
Placed in a mystical collection of
black and white oak trees, the tree-
house serves as an inspiring, collabo-
rative space for the family of artists to
get their creative juices flowing and
it also happens to be built in the spot
where the Dueslers were married 35
years ago.
The two-story, 13-foot high studio is
fueled by solar power and has no inter-
net or cell phone reception in order to
provide the family with a peaceful
space to focus on their art.
Complete with a painting easel,
sewing machine, sleeping loft, drawing
workspace, music studio and a wall
covered in lush, living flowers and
moss, the space is perfect for all the
different artists in the family to work
together.
With their family history in mind,
there is even an enormous wall made
entirely of antique 100-year-old win-
dows found in the Dueslers 1920
farmhouse.
The episode is slated to air on Fri-
day, July 25 at 9 p.m. CST.

lic employee unions of much of their
bargaining power. It also requires pub-
lic unions to recertify annually and
have at least 51 percent of all employ-
ees (rather than just those who vote) in
favor of retaining state recognition.
MEA did not file for recertification
and as a result lost its status as the
teachers legal representative. At the
last board of education meeting, the
board and district administration dis-
cussed what role the union will now
have in the employer-employee rela-
tionship.
MEA will not be the legal repre-
sentative of the teachers for the 14-15
school year, it does not mean they
dont exist, it doesnt mean they are not
an organization or a union, it doesnt
mean they cannot represent the teach-
ers, superintendent Don Johnson clar-
ified. It simply means that legally
they cant represent (the teachers) in
terms of negotiating base wages or
other official representative functions
that they might serve in.
Johnson said MEA is still a union
and that they could get certified next
year if they file to do so by the end of
August. If a union is certified rather
than recertified, it is subject to different
election requirements under Act 10.
Certification for a union maintains the
previous requirement of 50 percent
plus one of all votes.
Without a union contract, teachers
working conditions are laid out in an
employee handbook. The district has
been drafting the handbook for several
months and requesting teachers and
MEA participation. The MEA has re-
fused to participate and very few teach-
ers have offered input.
Board members agreed the MEA
would be helpful in representing teach-
ers demands and needs. School Board
president Bob Green noted it is much
easier to deal with just a few people
rather than every teacher in the district
in determining teacher priorities.
Green says he expects more participa-
tion from the union if they want to have
an influence in shaping the handbook.
The only way we are going to
move forward working with the MEA
and also working with the teachers is
to establish communications, Green
said at the board meeting. He looked
to the audience asking if anyone from
MEA was present. After a moment of
silence. he stated, I am disappointed
that we are discussing issues which are
germane to the teachers and the MEA
and they are not here.
Two federal courts have upheld Act
10 in its entirety while a county circuit
judge has ruled it unconstitutional. The
latter case is currently under appeal to
the Wisconsin Supreme Court, with a
ruling expected soon. Depending on
the courts opinion, MEA may or may
not regain state recognition.

Jeff Schafer has a passion for base-
ball that has grown with the passage of
time.
While many of his peers have long
since abandoned playing the game they
love, the 49-year-old Schafer is inspir-
ing a new generation of Middleton
players beginning right at home.
The left-hander Schafer and right-
hander Drew Farrell combined on a
five-hit shutout to lead Middleton to a
9-0 victory over Lodi in a Home Talent
League Northern Section Eastern Divi-
sion amateur baseball game on Sunday.
Kevin Dubler went 4-for-4 and Far-
rell was 3-for-4 to pace the 29ers (14-
1) who finished with 12 hits against
Lodi (2-13).
But what made Sundays victory
even more memorable was Schafer ful-
filling a life-long dream of playing
with his son, Luke, a second baseman
and Middleton graduate, who will be a
walk-on at the University of Iowa this
fall.
Its pretty special. The games been
so good to me. I had my education paid
for. I traveled around the world and
played professionally. I just love it so
much. You just hope the younger kids
appreciate it as much as you do,
Schafer said.
Schafer, an Iowa graduate, allowed
just three hits with no walks in 7 1/3 in-
nings and left the game to a standing
ovation by the hometown crowd.
To go out when [Luke is] coming
in is super special as a parent, Jeff
Schafer said. Hopefully he takes the
baton and loves the game like dad did.
Like father, like son, Luke Schafer
did his part to make it a day to remem-
ber for the 29ers as well as the Schafer
family. Luke singled and had a sacri-
fice in four plate appearances while
finishing with four assists and two
putouts on defense.
Jeff Schafer also got a rare plate ap-
pearance to go along with his stellar ef-
fort on the mound.
I put aside the fact hes my dad
when Im out there and it was a very
well-pitched game, very sharp. As a
fielder, you love it because hes got
command with no walks. That was
awesome, Luke said.
As my dad, it was just incredible
that over the years Ive been watching
him and he been coaching me and
watching me and I had an opportunity
to start behind him today and perform
as well as he did and be able to watch
that. It was definitely special.
Middleton, which defeated Lodi 15-
4 in 8 innings on June 15 in the teams
first meeting, extended its winning
streak to 13 games. The Eastern Divi-
sion champion 29ers close out the reg-
ular season at Ashton on Sunday.
But while the Schafer father-son duo
accomplished a feat few families are
able to share the Albion starting fa-
ther and son duo of Jim and Josh East-
man come to mind it was business as
usual for the 29ers, who moved within
a game of earning home-field advan-
tage throughout the playoffs.
We talked today that were one
game closer to home-field advantage
all the way through until the Final
Four, if we get there, Middleton man-
ager Brandon Hellenbrand said. We
have our division wrapped up. Were
in first place no matter what but we
want the overall No. 1 seed and unless
Sauk loses a game we have to win out.
Were going to go after it.
That mind-set was evident from the
first batter when Schafer went 0-2 on
Lodi lead-off hitter Kyle Clapper en
route to retiring the Royals in order in
the first inning, the first of five times
he accomplished the feat while throw-
ing just 81 pitches during a masterful
outing.
Every week he brings the love for
the game and it keeps guys playing,
Hellenbrand said of Schafer. I think
that is why a lot of us are still out here
playing because we see a guy like Jeff
whos at his age and hes able to still
do it. It keeps a lot of us of going as
well.
Schafer improved on his previous
start against Lodi when he earned the
victory after pitching 5 1/3 innings and
allowing one earned run on eight hits
and one walk.
I threw different against them than
I did last time because my arm didnt
feel real good the last time. I was work-
ing away, away, away, said Schafer,
who continually got ahead of the Lodi
hitters and didnt allow a runner past
second base. My arm felt good
enough today that I could work away
and work in with my fastballs. Thats
just harder to hit when you cant be
looking for balls in a certain spot and
then getting them in. Thats why there
were so many balls hit to the left side.
Schafer induced 11 ground ball outs,
including six to the left-side of the in-
field. Only one of the three hits he al-
lowed Trent Schneiders lead-off
single to left in the second inning left
the infield.
I was able to locate fastballs away
and then bust curve balls in. With the
fastball away, they tend to roll over on
that outside pitch. So after a lot of fast-
balls when you come in with a curve-
ball theyre thinking away and the ball
comes in and jams them, Schafer said.
Its always important when I pitch
that third base and shortstop have good
games because theyre going to get a
lot of action over there in ground balls.
AJ [Redders] and Cookie [Cole Cook]
played fantastic defense.
Middleton grabbed a 1-0 lead in the
second inning when Redders and Cook
drew back-to-back walks, Luke
Schafer followed with a sacrifice and
Scott Brabender delivered a sacrifice
fly to left field.
Farrell singled in a run and Dubler
followed with a two-run single to ex-
tend Middletons lead to 4-0 in the
fourth inning.
Josh Hinson then made it 6-0 in the
sixth inning with a two-run single.
Meanwhile Lodi was able to muster
just three baserunners against Schafer.
I think this is [20] innings without
scoring a run on Sundays. Were hitting
the ball hard. We just cant string an in-
ning together right now, Lodi man-
ager Shane Clapper said. [Schafer]
did a great job. He did a great job the
first time against us. He kept us in
check, too.
Farrell, who started in right field, re-

Gator divers
beat Hawks but
lose to Penguins
Photo by Suzy Krantz
Middleton Gator diver Karsen Dettman at the Tuesday, July 15 meet ver-
sus Hawks Landing.
With the summer swim season in
full swing, the Middleton Gators com-
peted in three meets within eight days.
On Saturday, July 12, the Gator swim
team experienced its first loss against
the Shorewood Sharks 603.5-452.5.
This loss was overshadowed by a dou-
ble victory at Hawks Landing Swim
Club on Wednesday July 16 when the
Gators beat the Hawks Landing Hawks
576-387 and the High Point Pirates
559-429. The Gators remained tri-
umphant with a strong win on Saturday
July 19 against the Parkcrest Penguins
with a final score of 629-419.
Despite of the loss at the Shorewood
meet, four Middleton athletes won two
individual events. Ella Graf, a swim-
mer in the girls 9-10 age group, won
the 50-yard freestyle, as well as the 50-
yard butterfly. Archer Parkin, an athlete
in the boys 11-12 division, won both
the 50-yard freestyle and the 50-yard
backstroke. The winner of the boys
13-14 100-yard freestyle and the 100-
yard backstroke was Michael Draves.
Draves 100-yard backstroke time of
56.09 seconds set a new Shorewood
Pool record, a prestigious accomplish-
ment. Zach Parkin, a competitor in the
mens 15-18 division, won the 100-
yard freestyle and the 200-yard Indi-
vidual Medley (IM).
In the Gators relays, A teams won
the medley relay in the Girls 9-10,
girls 11-12, boys 11-12, girls 13-14,
and mens 15-19 divisions. In the
freestyle relay, the boys 11-12 and
girls 13-14 A teams placed first.
At the High Point and Hawks Land-
ing meet, Matthew Golden, Ella Graf,
and Blaise Lin won two individual
events. Golden, who swam in the boys
8-and-under age group, took first in the
25-yard freestyle and the 100-yard IM.
Ella Graf won the 50-yard freestyle
and the 50-yard backstroke in the girls
9-10 age group. Lin, a competitor in
the boys 9-10 division, won the 50-
yard breaststroke and the 50-yard but-
terfly.
In the medley relays, Gators A
teams placed first in the girls 8-and-
under, boys 8-and-under, girls 9-10,
boys 11-12, and boys 13-14 divisions.
Middleton A teams took first in the
girls 8-and-under, boys 8-and-under,
girls 9-10, boys 11-12, and womens
15-18 freestyle relays.
The home meet against Parkcrest re-
sulted in great triumph for both the
team and individual swimmers; nine
athletes won two of their individual
events, and one pool record was set.
Matthew Golden won the 25-meter
freestyle and the 100-meter IM in the
boys 8-and-under age group. Ella Graf
took first in both the 50-meter freestyle
and the 100-meter IM. In the boys 9-
10 events, Jack Madigan won the 50-

does everything with class. You know
youre going to get a competitive atti-
tude from him every time he takes the
mound. Its always fun when he
pitches, Farrell said of Schafer.
Hinson drove in a run with a sacri-
fice fly and Eric Simon and Matt Ash
added RBI-singles to cap Middletons
scoring with a three-run eighth inning.
Yet while Schneider and Derrick
Rothwell had two hits apiece to lead
Lodi, the Royals were unable to get
anything going on offense.
Their defense is awesome. Middle-
ton is playing really good ball right
now, Clapper said. Theyve got a
great defense behind [Schafer] and he
knows that. He just puts the ball where
he has to.
Dubler said Schafer put his experi-
ence to good use to keep Lodi at bay.
He hits his spots pretty well and
keeps the ball down. He mixes it up.
Everything that a good pitcher does, he
does it. Thats why hes been pitching
so long, Dubler said. I dont know if
my arm could last that long. Even at
this age, you have good days and bad
days. I dont know how he does it, ge-
netics I guess.
Whats going on with his kid, I
think, is pretty cool. To have the expe-
rience he does but to also see his son
come up and be a team player and have
everybody on the same page, when you
have one goal as a team obviously it
helps motivate everybody.

ple working together is part of what
makes it a great sport. Were all par-
ticipating right along with our ath-
letes. Our volunteers are the
backbone of our organization and
they make us more than a team, they
make us a family, stated president of
the Middleton Gators Swim Team,
Kristi Warriner.
The outstanding coaches are also
instrumental in providing a success-
ful swim season. Lauren Cabalka is
the Head Swim Coach for the Mid-
dleton Gators 2014 season. Laurens
experience and enthusiasm for the
Gators inspires a season of pride,
good sportsmanship and success.
Lauren is supported by her coaching
staff which includes Scott Schweick-

R.J. Leiferman, Ellie Slater, Andi
Kent, Madeline Bielski, Zack Parkin,

Hesselbein calls for energy alternatives
Rep. Dianne Hesselbein, D-Middleton, is among 11 Wis-
consin state legislators who have asked the state Public Serv-
ice Commission to consider alternatives to building more
high-voltage transmission lines.
In letters submitted to the docket for the proposed Badger
Coulee project, Hesselbein requests a cost/benefit compari-
son between high voltage transmission and alternatives in-
cluding energy efficiency and local generation. Her request
supports petitions signed by more than 2,000 ratepayers and
resolutions passed by more than 90 municipalities.
The project would impact many Wisconsin residents not
only with the massive power lines but the potential for rate
increases, Hesselbein wrote.
It is my belief that the PSC should insist on an impartial
cost/benefit study comparing proposed high voltage trans-
mission lines with options, she said. The lines that will be
situated in Wisconsin would be utilized as pass-through sup-
ply for electrical grids supporting other Midwest energy re-
liability.
Wisconsin ratepayers would share the cost of 17 multi-
value projects throughout the Midwest. The total cost for
the 17 projects in 2011 was $5.2 billion. Since then, the
Badger Coulee price-tag has risen 36%. A similar adjust-
ment to the other new projects would result in Wisconsin
ratepayers sharing payment of a more than $7 billion bill, in
addition to bearing the total cost of around $3 billion for re-

cently built and approved transmission
in the state.
The energy-saving measures that
Wisconsin businesses and residents
have undertaken should be considered
when focusing on the need for, the
costs and benefits to Wisconsin utility
ratepayers, Hesselbein said. I urge
the PSC to fully consider all options
before committing Wisconsin
ratepayer money to pay for a poten-
tially avoidable expenditure.
Other legislators who sent letters to
the PSC supporting the request for
cost/benefit study are Sen. Jennifer
Shilling, D-La Crosse , Sen. Dale
Schultz, R-Richland Center, Sen. Kath-
leen Vinehout, D-Alma, Rep. Jill
