Tackling addiction
See COFFEE, page 10
Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin have very different ideas about fighting opiate abuse
by MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
Every day, 44 people in the

United States die from the overdose of prescription painkillers.
Many more become addicted,
according to the latest data from
the Center for Disease Control
and Prevention. In Wisconsin,
according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services,
drug overdose deaths doubled
from 2004 to 2013, and more
Wisconsin residents died in

2013 as a result of drug overdoses than from motor vehicle
crashes, suicide, breast cancer,
colon cancer, firearms, influenza or HIV.
Opioid pain relievers contributed to 45 percent of the 843
drug overdose deaths in 2013,
while heroin contributed to 27
percent.
At this point everyone agrees
opiate addiction is a growing
problem in Wisconsin. But how
to fight the scourge is still a
matter of debate.
This was illustrated recently
by the states two members of
the United State Senate, who
touted very different plans to
combat heroin and prescription
drug addiction. Both stayed true
to their respective parties political philosophies. The conservative
senator
said
big
government is getting in the
way of the war on addiction.
The liberal senator said increased funding for treatment is
the best solution.
Republican U.S. Sen. Ron

Johnson last week introduced a
measure that he said would reduce pressure doctors face that
may lead to overprescribing
painkilling opioids.
According to a statement issued by Johnson, under the Affordable Care Act patient
survey results are factored into
Medicare payments to hospitals. Johnson argues that questions specifically related to pain

Congress is female, which

places the United States behind
China and Afghanistan in that
regard.
While their day jobs garner
Johnson and Carmichael a certain amount of respect, their
work with the Middleton Fire
Department illustrates how public safety organizations are increasingly open and welcoming
to women.
They both agreed that Fire
Chief Aaron Harris and the entire department made them feel
welcome and appreciated.
I had a sense this is unique
of this area, observed
Carmichael. I dont think it is
common. Middleton is a very
supportive environment for

Times-Tribune
Deneen Carmichael is a
mother of two and a small business owner. Jennifer Johnson is
an international non-profit attorney. But those are just their day
jobs, like Clark Kents gig at the
Daily Planet.
These local women are also
part of a profession where
courage and integrity are their
most valuable assets. They can
wake up in the middle of the
night to answer their pagers and
potentially save lives. They
wear heavy, hot and uncomfortable clothing for work. They lug
cumbersome equipment up tall
ladders and pry open car doors
following accidents.
They hold the hands of people in need and comfort them in
hard times.
Carmichael and Johnson are
volunteer firefighters with the
Middleton Fire Department.
Johnson has been living in
Middleton for about two years.
She bought a house and opened
her own non-profit consulting
company called NCG. She is
also an international non-profit
attorney and she loves what she
does.
Johnson was born in the Milwaukee area and her family
owns a sausage company in
Wisconsin. She went to boarding school, lived in Egypt for a
while and came back to the
United States to accomplish her
mission through her non-profit
work.
Carmichael has lived in Middleton for four years and has
two daughters. Her latest project is a womens boutique
called Ninas in downtown
Middleton. Right after she graduated from college in Virginia,
she started working at the Virginia Zoo in the Conservation
Department and lived in Africa
for about two years.
Traveling as the Head of the
Virginia Zoo Conservation Department, she realized that pursuing a doctorate in her
professional field was not her
women to get started and all

along the way I have never ever
felt [any indication] that I am
not competent or I shouldnt be
here. This is a very respectful
environment.
Like
Johnson
and
Carmichael, many professional
women in Middleton and beyond are trying to be recognized
and thrive in a world that for so
long was dominated by men.
Fear, bias, non acceptance
or failure - you have to get past
that, said Carmichael. You
have just one life, you got this
one life and we get older and
older and if it doesnt work out
at least you did something, you
learned something about yourself. That is huge.

dream - so she decided to keep

working for the zoo and in 2004
moved to Ohio. She and her
family moved to Wisconsin in
2008 and she decided to become a professional ballroom
dancer.
I decided there is a moment
in time that I was able to be a
professional ballroom dancer so
I did it, she said. I opened a
dance studio and I sold it after a
while to open the boutique
called Neena.
Both women recognize that
perseverance and fearless attitudes are the key to succeeding
in the current world.
The hell with limitations,
said Johnson. If you have

something in your guts or in
your heart or there is something
that you want to accomplish,
then do it. You have to live your
life so you can feel fulfilled
each day. Whatever that is -firefighting, traveling, baking.
As a child, Johnson dreamed
of being a firefighter and her
constant positivism, courage
and hard work eventually paid
off. She is expected to graduate
this spring with the new Middleton Fire Department trainees
as a volunteer firefighter.
In 1970, just 11 percent of
the women population graduated from college, according to
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. By 2012, that number had

risen to 38 percent. But despite
such strides, pay gaps between
men and women persist in the
United States.
On Monday of this week,
Womens Day was be celebrated around the world. Here
in Wisconsin, many organizations held free dinners, concerts, brunches and other
activities to honor brave and
unique women in our society.
The day was meant to celebrate womens successes, but
also to shine a spotlight on lingering inequalities. For instance, less than 20 percent of

City council approves Yahara Watershed Agreement

by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
The Middleton Common

Council last week approved an
intergovernmental agreement
for an adaptive management
plan for reducing phosphorous
in the Yahara Watershed as required by the EPA. More than
20 governing bodies have
agreed to participate in the program lead by Madison MetroSewer
District
politan
(MMSD).
More than a decade ago the
City of Middleton and neighboring communities began
working with MMSD to meet
lower phosphorus levels required by the states Department of Natural Resources and
ultimately the EPA. Sewage
treatment plants and industry
are major sources of phosphorus, along with fertilizer, cattle
manure, grass clippings and debris that washes off streets and
parking lots. Phosphorus and
other nutrients such as nitrogen
feed the algae that is rampant in
many Wisconsin lakes.

Kathy Lake from the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage
District said the agreement is a
significant opportunity for the
city.
This project is probably our
major opportunity in our lifetimes to work together and improve the water quality in our
region, Lake said to the council.
The agreements funding
schedule currently has Middletons annual cost share as
$117,000 each year over 20
years. However, the citys storm
water management master plan
was recently updated to reflect
the citys storm water management efforts in recent years.
Considerable reductions have
been made compared to the previous modeling results.
The model in 2007 showed
that the city had achieved 41.3
percent reduction in total suspended solids. The model today
shows that the reduction is approximately 55.5 percent. A reduction in total suspended
solids corresponds to a reduc-
tion in total phosphorus, though

at a somewhat lower rate. If the
DNR approves the revised
storm water model, the citys requirement for annual phosphorus load reductions would be
lowered from 2370 lb to 970 lb.
The corresponding amount of
the citys annual share of the
cost to participate would be reduced from the current
$117,000 down to approximately $48,000. Additional
savings are also possible as the
city continues to improve its
own storm water management
practices.
Alder Hans Hilbert filled the
council in on some of the history, discussions and decisions
that led the city to considering
approving the agreement.
Were being told by the EPA
that the Rock River, Lake Mendota and Pheasant Branch are
impaired waterways that need
to be cleaned up, Hilbert said.
The DNR has provided us with
a number of pounds of phosphorus that need to be removed,
at this point water resource
management commission mem-
bers agree that adaptive management is probably the most

feasible mechanism to stay in
compliance with the DNR requirement.
That being said there has
been discussion at those meetings about if we are buying into
something thats really going to
have a benefit for the city,
Hilbert added. Yes it will
bring us into compliance, but
there are alternatives that have
other benefits to the city such as
aesthetic improvement, parks
and open space opportunities.
Hilbert said at this point in
time the city has to tell the DNR
what its plan is and approving
the agreement means it will participate in the adaptive management program. He said that the
plan may change in the future
depending on how the city continues to evaluate the storm
water modeling, its commitment to the program and reviews other projects that meet
the requirements and have other
benefits.
Just because we are entering
into this now does not mean that
we are done with it, Hilbert

clarified.
Lake explained that the
agreement is structured to reduce the amount the city would
pay in future years based on city
efforts that reduce phosphorous. She explained that municipalities are encouraged to
implement their own policies
and that if they are able to accomplish their reductions there
are off ramps every five years.
If every community were to
be able to meet their phosphorus requirements on their own,
we would be done, Lake said.
The goal of adaptive management is meet the collective
phosphorous
reductions
throughout the basin.
Alder JoAnna Richard said
she had concerns about the
citys contribution having to be
paid upfront for five years.
Lake explained that if an overpayment was made it would be
paid back over the remaining
four years.
It does give me heartburn
that we are giving our money to

someone to hold if that is our
money, especially if we are
going to be reduced, Richard
said. Why cant it be trued
up in one year, why does it have
to be a four year payback
time?
The intent is not to get peoples money and hold it, but if
there is a significant amount of
money and we have a plan
where we will spend a lot in a
year, it will be hard to come up
with that whole chunk that
needs to be refunded in a year,
Lake responded. No one
wants to hold that money, we
are putting it into practices that
ultimately are helping the whole
watershed.
The council approved the inagreement
tergovernmental
with execution pending until a
letter is sent by Mayor Kurt
Sonnetag indicating approval of
the agreement pending DNR
approval of the revised storm
water models. The motion
passed unanimously.
Council okays study of land use

by CAMERON BREN

Council has approved a land use
study for the urban and undeveloped area that surrounds the
Pleasant View Golf Course that

The motion passed approves

what city staff had in mind with
their recommendation to approve the study.
What is your vision? What
would you like to get out of it

and why now? Brar asked.
I think the vision will be determined by the study, alder

City planning director Eileen

cover Festival of Flipbooks and is part

of the Flipbooks in Libraries project

Regarding the inspiration for this project, Anton says, The idea came from
a story I heard a while back about a
playwright, Jo Orton, who was well
known here in the UK in the 60s, and
he went to court for defacing library
books and that kind of got me thinking
about doing a kind of undercover art
show, and giving flip books a bit of a

enormous amounts of economic

development, Kelley said.
But there is lots of opportunity
left and this study would pull
together and protect the urban
greenway including the golf
course and its future.
Aside from potential for ad-
ADDICTION
management could have the unintended effect of pressuring

physicians to prescribe opioids
in order to ensure high patient
satisfaction scores and reimbursement.
It is important to be mindful
ofunintended consequences of
well-intentioned actions, said
Johnson. The government may
mean well by linking payments
to patient satisfaction, but there
is a real concern that specific
questions about pain management place inappropriate pressure on doctors. Physicians
must be free to exercise their
best judgment when prescribing
the proper level of pain medication thats what patients and
taxpayers expect.
Johnson proposed an amendment to the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of
2016 that he says would ensure
that pain management questions
on patient surveys would not
factor into Medicare reimbursement calculations. The amend-
ditional economic development,

job creation, and value through
redevelopment and infill, there
are also other recreational opportunities in the area and the
study review the potential for
those as well, Kelley said.
Kelley said that the latest TIF
ment is based on a bipartisan

measure introduced in the
House by Rep. Alex Mooney
(R-W.Va.) known as the Promoting Responsible Opioid Prescribing Act. That bill has been
endorsed by the American Medical Association.
The legislation is one of several amendments Johnson is
proposing to the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery
Act.
Other Johnson amendments
include measures thatprioritize
the reform of standards for prescribing painkilling drugs to
protect patients suffering from
both pain and post-traumatic
stress disorder and ensure the
Indian Health Service is included among federal stakeholders in developing best
practices for prescribing pain
medications.
Johnson also proposed an
amendment to encourage the
Food and Drug Administration
to clear what conservatives say
amendment estimated spending

an additional $85 million that
could in return create value of
$380 million in the district.
I dont doubt that we could
spend that much on public improvement, economic development, and storm water and
are bureaucratic barriers to

swifter access to potentially
lifesaving treatments for terminally ill patients. The FDA issued guidance over a year ago
intended to make access to
treatment easier, but the guidance has not yet been finalized.
Yet another Johnson amendment would allegedly enhance
the ability of the Department of
Homeland Security to measure
progress in securing the border
by directing it to use better and
more consistent data, he said.
The bill also requires the
agency to make its data available to the public and to report
specific information on border
security regularly to Congress.
U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat, has introduced her own amendment to
enact President Obamas budget
request and provide for about
$1.1 billion in new funding to
address the prescription opioid
abuse and heroin use epidemic.
Baldwin introduced the provi-
greenway areas, Kelley said.

I dont doubt either after seeing the economic engine that
[TIF] #3 is that we will create
$380 million more, which will
get us to the billion dollar mark
created in the TIF district.
Alder Howard Teal said that
sion last week to the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery

Act.
Consistent with President
Obamas Fiscal Year 2017
Budget, this amendment includes $1 billion in new mandatory funding to expand access to
treatment and recovery services
for opioid use disorders, support
the placement of substance use
disorder treatment providers in
the communities most in need
of behavioral health providers,
and continue to build the evidence base for effective treatment programs. Baldwin said
the additional funding would
boost efforts to help individuals
with an opioid use disorder to
seek treatment, successfully
complete treatment, and sustain
recovery.
Opioid abuse is an epidemic
in Wisconsin that continues to
grow at an alarming rate,said
Baldwin. As our communities
across America struggle with
this epidemic on a daily basis,
in his experience this was typical practice.

For the last 20 to 30 years
thats how we have started
everything with this kind of a
process, Teal said. To not do
that we would be kicking ourselves.
Congress must act to combat

this problem with solutions and
the investments to make them
work. This funding is vital to
our first responders, healthcare
providers and criminal justice
system as they fight this epidemic. Most importantly, these
investments will help save
lives.
Her amendment includes
more than $90 million in additional funding to expand existing
efforts
across
the
Departments of Justice and
Health and Human Services to
expand state-level prescription
drug overdose prevention
strategies, expand access to
medication assisted treatment,
improve access to the overdosereversal drug naloxone, and
support targeted enforcement
activities.

legislation that they said would

sis from prevention to recovery.

The Heroin and Prescription
Drug Abuse Prevention and Reduction Actoutlines a comprehensive approach and allocates
what they say are necessary
funds to combat the heroin and
prescription drug epidemic in
four key areas: prevention, crisis, treatment, and recovery.
Supporters say the bill would
improve access to lifesaving
opioid reversal drugs, like
naloxone, enhance treatment
and recovery services for our
hardest hit communities, expand access to medication-assisted
treatments,
like
buprenorphine, as well as provide greater substance abuse
treatment and counseling options for youth and pregnant
women.
Earlier this month, Baldwin
also announced her support for
emergency funding legislation
to address the heroin and opioid
abuse epidemic. The Opioid
and Heroin Epidemic Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act introduced by Senator
Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), would
provide supplemental appropriations totaling $600 million to
programs at the Department of
Justice and the Department of
Health and Human Services.
Baldwins amendment to the
Comprehensive Addiction and
Recovery Act of 2016 would include $920 million for
SAMHSA for State Targeted
Response Cooperative Agreements to support cooperative
agreements with states to expand access to medication-assisted treatment for opioid use
disorders. States would receive
funds based on the severity of
the epidemic and on the
strength of their strategy to respond to it. States can use these
funds to expand treatment capacity and make services more
affordable.
It would also include $50
million for HRSA for the National Health Service Corps to
expand access to substance use
treatment providers and $30
million for SAMHSA to study
treatment effectiveness.
The proposed funding would
also include $50.1 million for
SAMHSA targeted capacity
grants for Medication-Assisted
Treatment; $10 million to establish a buprenorphine demonstration project; $10 million for
CDC to support dissemination
of safe opioid prescribing
guidelines; $10 million for
HRSA for a rural opioid overdose reversal program; $5 million for ONC to enhance
Prescription Drug Monitoring
Programs; $3 million for Bureau of Prisons Treatment Programs; $50 million for DOJs
Second Chance Act Grant Program; $14 million for DOJ to
expand residential substance

Clark Street student read Great World Texts
Local charter school students sink their teeth into amazing works of philosophy and literature
More than 1,200 Wisconsin

high school students - from
areas as diverse as Middleton,
Bonduel, Janesville, and the
Milwaukee Public School system - are in the process of reading a book that many Americans
have never heard of: the classic
novel of sixteenth-century
China, Wu Chengens Journey
to the West.
Locally, students at Clark
Street Community School, the
Middleon-Cross Plains Area
School Districts groundbreaking charter school, are taking
part in the program. They even
went on their own journey (to
the east, to China Town in
Chicago) as part of their studies.
Thanks to a major grant
awarded by the Wisconsin Humanities Council to UW-Madisons Center for the Humanities,
UW-Madison faculty, graduate
students and staff will join students in their classrooms to engage in the collaborative study
of world literature over the

course of the coming year.
Launched in 2005 by the
Center for the Humanities, each
year the Great World Texts in
Wisconsin program engages
high school students and teachers across the state in thoughtful, critical dialogue with one
another and with worldrenowned scholars about works
of literature as diverse as
Chinua Achebes Things Fall
Apart and The Arabian Nights.
These texts serve as lenses
through which to see our world
anew, providing students the
opportunity to discuss some of
the most pressing issues of our
time, and to explore the relationship between humanistic inquiry and global citizenship.
Shaped by voices that reflect a
variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, this conversation provides students a
critical opportunity to explore
these questions with peers from
across the state of Wisconsin,

and to become familiar with
great works of literature that are
not usually taught in high
school classrooms.
Great World Texts is unforgettable to the students and
teachers who participate. Lydia
Myer, a junior at East High
School in Madison who read
Jean-Jacques Rousseaus Confessions as part of last years
program, says I gained a
greater appreciation for the history of the world. It was interesting to look into the life of
someone from a different place
and time.
Arundhati Roy, author of the
Booker Prize-winning novel
The God of Small Things, says
of her experience as keynote
speaker at the student conference, What more could any
writer ask for? It was pure inspiration. I wanted to pack
everybody up, the students, the
teachers, and bring you home to
show my folks how books

should be taught, how books
should be read, how books
should be owned. I was exhilarated by the kind of mad, youthful creativity of the students and
equally by their feisty, spirited
teachers.
Grant funds awarded by the
Wisconsin Humanities Council
will support the Great World
Texts programs statewide outreach initiative, which is new to
this years programming. In
previous years, participating
high school students convened
on the UW-Madison campus for
the programs Annual Student
Conference. The same is
planned for this year, but with a
twist thanks to the Wisconsin
Humanities Council: over the
next few months, UW-Madison
experts and Great World Texts
staff will visit high schools
statewide to mentor students
and educators as they prepare
for the programs culminating
event.
Dena Wortzel, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Humanities Council, says Great World
Texts is the kind of experience
that can change the way a student sees the world and their academic future. The Wisconsin
Humanities Council is excited
that Great World Texts has continued to expand to reach more
schools across Wisconsin with
one of the finest humanities education experiences available to
K-12 teachers and their students, says Wortzel.
The Great World Texts Annual Student Conference, featuring an interactive discussion
with Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang,
who created a TV film adaptation of the novel, will take place
on Wednesday, April 20, 2016
from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at
Union South. Conference
events are free and open to all.

Great World Texts program, including a list of prior texts,

teaching materials, and information on how to participate, is

will lose their spot.

Superintendent Don Johnson
reviewed how the board ended
up coming to and making that
decision.
We have projected for next
year a 140 student increase, although that is for budgeting
purposes, Johnson said. We
project certainly that that could
be much higher given that this
year we were really in the 300
students range depending on
how you look at membership
and headcount.
Membership and headcount
are different Johnson explained. Headcount is the actual number of students,
whereas membership is number
of full-time students which is
the number the DPI uses to determine funding.
He went over enrollment increases from recent years, noting the only time enrollment has
declined is following years

where a referendum failed.
The district reviewed enrollment capacity at every school in
January and found that the
school facing the most pressure
is Glacier Creek, which is projected to be more than 50 students over capacity next year,
Johnson explained. Park and
West Middleton are likely next
and both will have only one
classroom available in 201617. The high school is less than
100 students from capacity, and
even the newly built-out Kromrey is within 48 students of capacity. The total number of
open enrollment students is currently 228.
Johnson noted they are planning to add lockers at Glacier
Creek and Kromrey next year.
He said he also believes the district may have to consider facility expansion as early as next
year at Glacier Creek.

If we had made the decision
to keep the transfer from middle
to high, our middle schools
would be even more crowded,
Diane Hornung said.
Johnson said the district effectively made a trade when it
moved fifth-graders to the middle school starting in 2013-14;
it moved the capacity issues
from the elementary to the middle schools.
Johnson pointed out that
legal counsel said the board can
not make a decision based on
family circumstances. There is
open enrollment at a certain
level or not, he explained.
The district currently considers capacity to be 23 students
per classroom at elementary
schools, except for Sauk Trail,
which is a Title I school. State
funding for open enrollment
students has also declined, al-
though he said that wasnt a factor in recommendation or decision.

Board president Bob Green
asked what the difference in
funding was for open enrollment students.
An open enrollment student
would generate slightly more
than $6,000 of revenue for the
district, and a membership resident student would generate
slightly more than $11,000, so
they just generate different levels of revenue, Johnson
replied.
But the cost is the same to
the district? Green questioned.
Yes, the cost for educating
would be same to, with the exception that special education
students are more costly.
Johnson responded.
Deputy
superintendent
George Mavroulis said the old
policy allowed an open enroll-
ment family to have all of its

children here, even if there wasnt space at other grade levels.
He said the January 25 vote
changed that policy. Johnson
also reminded the board that
during the 2012 referendum
some residents complained
about open enrollment students
pushing capacity concerns.
Board member Paul Kinne
asked if there was any loophole
for parents with kids enrolled in
the district that wanted to remain in.
Johnson did say there was a
loophole, but the district would
have to increase capacity levels. He said increasing capacity
from 23 to 26 students would
open up 60 slots. However, the
district would have to do that at
all levels and would then have
to allow open enrollment students to fill those slots.
their classrooms, so it becomes

part of their learning environment as opposed to something
that is augmented on to their
learning environment, Blodgett said. That transition has
meant that we have had to make
significant changes to our technology as far as the network and
what we use for devices.
Blodgett says theyve moved
away from dedicated computer
labs and been setting up carts
with Chromebooks and iPads
that can be wheeled into any
space. The prior technology
centers are now being used for
learning space with furniture
that can be easily rearranged
and set up for collaborative and

group exercises.
Glacier Creek and Northside
libraries were upgraded over the
summer to more collaborative
set up. MHS room 1050 was
also converted from a standard
classroom to a flexible learning
space, Blodgett explained.
Superintendent Don Johnson
told the board as old furniture is
replaced it will be succeeded by
more the new arrangeable furniture. Blodgett said that the furniture has batteries that can
charge devices throughout the
day.
Blodgett also spoke on how
technology costs have de-
creased and options have increased. He said the district

now purchases Chromebooks
for about $190 apiece and believes they will last about four
years.
Board member Paul Kinne
said one of his daughters purchased a Chromebook from the
district and so far it has held up
quite well.
Blodgett talked about the
success of the districts Technology Access for All program.
More than 130 students in
eighth and ninth grade purchased Chromebooks, while another 93 purchased graphing
calculators, he said.
He explained that the

Chromebooks are sold for $175
to all students; $40 to students
who receive free and reduced
lunch, and students in transition
can receive for free.
Board president Bob Green
asked what the demand was for
graphing calculators at the reduced cost of $20 instead of
$106. Blodgett most that were
sold were at the reduced cost
and Green speculated how that
could have been a barrier to
some students taking advanced
classes.
Blodgett added MHS now
has 12 MiFi devices, Clark
Street Community School has
three and each middle school

has two. They are portable
WiFi hotspots that can be
checked out by students.
Blodgett also pointed out that
the high-speed fiber connection
between Kromrey and the Middleton Police Department was
also recently routed to Clark
Street Community School.
Superintendent
Johnson
praised Blodgetts work over
the past few years.
We are very fortunate to
have Jim in this role, Johnson
said. Its not about just the
technology, but how the kids
learn with it. Thanks to Jim and
his team.

The Middleton-Cross Plains

Area School District Board of
Education recently reviewed the
impact of changes made to the
district open enrollment policy.
While enrollment continues to
grow each year in the district,
the board has had to restrict the
number of students attending
from outside district boundaries.
On January 25 the board
voted to change the policy so
that students must now re-apply
when they enter middle school.
They previously needed to reapply when they entered high
school. At full capacity in the

Middleton Library director resigns

by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune

Council discussed what steps
they must take following an announcement from library director Pamela Westby that she is
resigning. The library board
has appointed acting directors
and started the hiring process
for a new director.
Westby announced her resignation, effective March 12th, at
the February 25th library board
meeting. She said she accepted
a job offer as the library director
for the L.E. Phillips Memorial
Library in Eau Claire. She
added that she will be available
for questions or consultation
until the new director takes
over.
I feel that the timing is right
for both the library and me,
Westby said to the council, explaining that the new position
will advance her career.
The library board appointed
the current head of circulation
services Brendan Faherty and
head of information technology
Patrick Williams as acting director and associate acting director respectively. West by
said that they the duties and
salary of the director position
will be divided equally, includ-
ing a temporary ten percent

salary increase for acting roles
as required in city ordinance.
The library boards search for
a new director will include advertising throughout the country
in hopes of finding the best candidate. City council president
Susan West will be involved in
the search and screening
process.
I want to thank you for your
service and we have a lot better
library because of it, Mayor
Kurt Sonnentag said to Westby.
Eau Claire is lucky to get
you.
It has been and honor and a
pleasure to be here and experience everything we have experienced together, this is really a
great community to serve,
Westby said. I am grateful for
the friendships and deep relationships made during my
tenure and hope that the community will continue to rally
around the library.
Earlier this year, the Wisconsin Library Association

(WLA) announced Middleton
Public Library director
Pamela Westbys appointment as chair of the organizations board of directors. Now
shes leaving Middleton for

Grant will take aim at drugged driving

Wisconsin had approximately 24,000 Operating While
Intoxicated (OWI) cases in
2014, but the current trend is a
decrease in alcohol cases and an
increase in drug impaired driving cases.
The Dane County Sheriffs
Office, Madison Police, (WisDOT) Division of State Patrol,
the Dane County District Attorneys Office, the Wisconsin
State Hygiene Laboratory, the
Wisconsin Department of Justice and eight other local police
agencies are teaming up to
gather data to determine the extent of drugged driving in Dane

County.A WisDOT grant for
$16,650.00 is being used to purchase four Alere DDS2 Mobile
Test Systems and 300 drug test
kits.
This pilot project will help to
determine the scope of drug impaired driving in Dane County
and collect data to assist in legal
changes to include oral fluid
analysis in impaired driving
cases.The oral fluid testing is
not evidentiary and will not
play any role in the prosecution
of impaired driving cases.

The Alere test system is
portable, and allows for rapid
screening for drugs using oral
fluids. Forty-eight officers
from participating agencies,
which include Verona, Fitchburg, Stoughton, DeForest, University of Wisconsin, Oregon,
Middleton, and the City of
Madison, will participate in 16hour training, with deployment
of the testing equipment scheduled to start in March of 2016.
The Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement
(ARIDE) training program was

developed by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with input
from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP),
Technical Advisory Panel, and
the Virginia Association of
Chiefs of Police.The program
was developed to fill the gap in
training between Standardized
Field Sobriety Testing and the
Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC) program.Deputies
and officers will be trained to
observe, identify and articulate
the signs of impairment related

to drugs, alcohol, or a combination of both. The goal of the
training is to help law enforcement be more effective in how
they detect drug-impaired drivers.
Were seeing an alarming
number of drug impaired drivers in Dane County, many of
which are under the influence of
heroin.The Sheriffs Office is
working in every way possible
to educate the community, and
combat the effects that this drug
is having on the safety and well-
being of our citizens.This grant

is one more step in this fight,
said Sheriff David Mahoney.
Deaths and injuries caused
by impaired drivers devastate
individuals, families and entire
communities, said Col. Brian
Rahn, deputy superintendent of
the Wisconsin State Patrol.
The multi-agency effort to
combat drugged driving in
Dane County will help save
lives and prevent injuries
through effective enforcement
and education.

Coffee with a Cop provides
a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the

that these are not always the
most effective times for relationship building and some
community members may feel

Boys basketball team falls to

Madison West in regional finals
by GREGG HAMMILL
For the Times-Tribune
When Tyree Eady drove the

lane, elevated, and slammed
home a monstrous one-handed
dunk that ignited the home
crowd, Middletons boys basketball team looked to be in
good shape last Saturday.
But Madison West as it
had throughout the game
battled back. And eventually
the seventh-seeded Regents
pulled off a stunning 77-71
upset victory over the secondseeded Cardinals in a WIAA
Division 1 regional final.
There was a point in the
second half where we went
from down five to up four and

we had big momentum on
Tyrees dunk and one,
Middleton coach Kevin Bavery
said. We thought that was
going to be the game changer
right there.
Eadys dunk and ensuing
free throw after being fouled
capped an 8-0 run, and gave the
Cardinals a 58-54 lead with
nine minutes, 44 seconds
remaining in the game. The
Regents responded with a 19-6
run and held off the Cardinals
down the stretch.
Middleton, which began the
year 14-0, went 5-5 down the
stretch and finished the year

team falls in
sectional semis
by DENNIS SEMRAU
For the Times-Tribune
Live by the three, die by

the three.
That adage rang true for the
second-seeded
Middleton
Cardinals girls basketball
team Thursday night.
The Cardinals missed 16
consecutive
three-point
attempts to open the game and
not even a furious second-half
rally could undo the damage.
Janesville Craigs Delaney
Schoenenberger finished with
a game-high 30 points and
Anne Schumacher chipped in
with 17 points as the thirdseeded Cougars pulled away
for a 74-57 victory over
Middleton in a WIAA
Division 1 sectional semifinal
at Madison La Follette High
School.
It was an uphill battle all

the way tonight, Middleton
coach Jeff Kind admitted.
Middleton, which defeated
Craig twice during the regular
season, finished the year 21-4.
The Cougars (19-6) advanced
to meet top-seeded Verona
(22-3) in a sectional final on
Saturday at Janesville Parker
at 1 p.m.
We needed to work it into
the post more. We needed to
run our offense and we
werent really doing it,
Middleton
junior
Bria
Lemirande said. I definitely
think they came out wanting it
more than us. That was the
biggest thing they had going.
Added
junior
Alyssa
Lemirande, who scored 10 of
her team-high 14 points in the
second half: We just couldnt
get anything to fall and they
played strong defense. They
werent letting us drive to the
basket.
Junior Carlee Lemirande
and sophomore Claire Staples
scored 12 points each for
Middleton, which made just

17-of-56 field goal attempts
(30.3%), including a dismal 3of-28 (10.7 percent) from
three-point range.
While the Cardinals did
sink 20-of-25 free-throw
attempts (80.0%), including
13-of-16 in the second half, it
proved to be too little, too
late.
We were settling for outside shots instead of getting
the ball inside, Kind said.
Part of the process all year
long has been learning what
kind of intensity you have to
have all of the time. I think we
had some ups and downs with
our intensity. Unfortunately
this isnt a good time to have
one of those downs.
Janesville Craig, though,
had something to do with
Middletons struggles on both
ends of the court.
Give them a lot of credit.
They got to loose balls and
they got to rebounds a lot
See GIRLS BB, page 13

n GIRLS BB
quicker than we did, Kind

added. They played an excellent game. You cant afford to
let anybody get up by 20
points on you and try to come
back.
They got 14 points on
offensive boards in the first
half. Its tough to win that
way.
Middleton defeated Craig,
87-74, in the regular season
finale on Feb. 20. Sophomore
post
Halle
White
led
Middleton with 22 points in
that game.
But White was held to just
four points as Janesville Craig
employed a 2-3 matchup zone
to force Middleton to shoot
from the outside.
It certainly did the trick.
Defensively, they hurt us
inside so what we said we
didnt plan on them missing
their first 16 threes was we
were going to pack it in a little
bit, Janesville Craig coach
Kerry Storbakken said. The
bigger the game, the harder it
is to make them. You live and
die by (threes) and they died
tonight.
Middleton scored first
when junior Alexis Thomas
converted a putback off a
missed three-pointer by
Alyssa Lemirande.
That first possession was
great. They got an offensive
rebound but I knew when they
took 30 seconds to score we
were in good shape,
Storbakken said.
After
both
teams
field
goals,
exchanged
Schoenenberger sank a layup
to jump-start a 17-2 surge as
Janesville Craig roared to a
19-6 lead midway through the
first half.
During
that
span,
Middleton missed seven of
eight field goal attempts,
including all six three-pointers, and committed three
turnovers in nine possessions.
That set the tone for the
Cardinals, who made just 7of-26 field goal attempts
(26.9%) and were 0-for-13
from three-point range in
the first half as the Cougars
cruised to a 37-21 lead.
We came into it not realizing how strong they would
come out, Carlee Lemirande
said of Janesville Craig,
which missed its first four
field goal attempts, but shot
48.4% (15-of-31) the rest of
the opening frame. Once we
got the first basket, we backed
off and they went really hard
after that. We didnt pick up
the pace until the second
half.
Craig didnt miss a beat
after halftime, using a 9-2
spurt to pull ahead 46-23 with
13:58 to play after Kamryn
Brittingham
found
Schoenenberger open for an
easy layup.
But instead of packing it in,
the Cardinals regrouped.
Carlee Lemirande scored
eight points, including a pair
of threes, to lead a 13-4 surge
and bring Middleton within
50-36 and forced the Cougars
to a call a timeout.
I realized we needed the
points so I started shooting
PAGE 13
it, said Carlee Lemirande,

who sank her third and final
three-pointer moments later to
help ignite another spurt that
breathed more life into the
Cardinals.
Alyssa Lemirande converted a three-point play and
Thomas made two free throws
to cap a 14-4 run and trim
Middletons deficit to 56-50
with 5:28 to play.
We had more energy and
people were cheering for us
when we made shots and we
fed
off
that,
Carlee
Lemirande said. We realized
it could be the last game so we
picked up our intensity.
The Cougars, though,
werent finished. Craig quickly responded to the challenge
when Schumacher found
Schoenenberger open at the
top of the key for a clutch
three-pointer.
The Cardinals never got
any closer than nine points the
rest of the way.
Since we beat them last
year in this position, we knew
they wanted to come out and
get us, said Thomas, whose
team rallied to defeat Craig in
a sectional final last year.
Whichever team came out
and wanted it more was going
to win. We came out and gave
it our best, but we didnt come
through.
Storbakken agreed last
years loss to Middleton in the
sectional finals played a role
in the Cougars quick start and
determined finish.
We start four seniors and
our kids are locked in, they
are dialed in, Storbakken
said. They remembered last
year. Its hard to beat a good
team three times. It is. We had
a lot more to play for.
When we went up there at
the end of the season, they had
the conference title to play
for. Its not that we didnt
have anything to play for, but
they had a lot more to play for.
Here, it was even stakes winner moves on to the sectional
championships.
Fighting back her tears at
the sudden end of the
Cardinals season, Alyssa
Lemirande said the game
would serve as motivation
over the next 12 months.
We will have a really
good team next year but
weve got to keep working
hard so we dont end our season short like we just did,
Alyssa Lemirande said. We
have to work hard every day
in practice and never give up.
I dont want to feel like this
again.

Middleton junior point guard Storm Murphy was named first-team all-Big Eight Conference.

players they feel are worthy of

all-conference status. Coaches
then submit a list of their top10 players in the league.
The player they deem is
best in the league gets 10
points, the second best gets
nine points, and so on. The
players with the top five point
totals make up the first team,
the next five earn second team
honors, etc.
On one ballot, Murphy was
voted the best player in the
league, meaning he should
have received 10 points. But
those points were inadvertently recorded in another players
column, meaning Murphy
received zero points from that
coach.
When the results were first
tabulated, Murphy finished on
the second team. When the
results were scrutinized closer
on Tuesday, the error was
found and Murphy was
bumped up to the first team.

19-5. West improved to 1410 and meets third-seeded

Madison Memorial in a sectional semifinal Thursday.
Theres really nothing that
we did that I can fault, Bavery
said. (West) came and took it.
They played extremely hard
and I thought that we played
extremely hard.
One area that hurt the
Cardinals
was
offensive
rebounding. The Regents outrebounded the Cardinals, 3624, in the game, including a
decisive 14-4 edge on the
offensive glass.
It was just two really good
physical teams, Bavery said.
If there was a difference, they
were more physical.
At tournament time, the
officials are going to let people
bang pretty hard. They came
and took some rebounds away
from us, got some putbacks,
and did some things late that
were the difference makers.
Added junior guard Storm
Murphy, who led the Cardinals
with a game-high 31 points:
Theyre a long, athletic team
and they tip the ball around.
They had about four or five
guys in there rebounding every
time. They went to the glass
hard and outrebounded us for
sure.
Afterwards, the Cardinals
took the loss extremely hard.
Whats tough right now is
the team sitting in that locker
room clearly had the talent, the
potential, the drive, the work
ethic to make it all the way to
the Kohl Center this year,
Bavery said of his team.
Clearly, in our sectional, we
were better than most and as
good as anybody. Thats what
is most disheartening.
Its easy to say that weve
got a ton of people coming
back, a ton of scoring, a ton of
experience, but its still always
a senior led team and weve
kept emphasizing down the
stretch that there is no tomorrowand there are absolutely no
guarantees. So this team was
really focused on making it
happen now.
It was the third time
Middleton and West had met
this season with the Cardinals
posting victories in both of the
previous contests 81-73
onJan. 8at Middleton and 7170 on Feb. 16 at West.
Its such a tough league
and it usually ends up being a
conference tournament at tournament
time,
Bavery
said. The old adage that its
tough to beat a team three
times, I dont believe that at all.
The better team always wins
that third game. Whether it was
1-1 during the regular season
or whether it was 2-0.
The contest was close
throughout with neither team
leading by more than six points
until the final minutes. The
Cardinals trailed 38-35 at halftime despite 16 points from
Murphy. Isaiah McFadden
drilled a 3-pointer in the final
minute of the half to give the
Regents the three-point advantage.
Middleton used an 11-4 run
to take a 46-42 lead in the second half. Murphy contributed
six points during the burst.
West answered right back
with three consecutive threepointers. Greg Wright hit a pair
of three-pointers and Raekwon
Hess hit another three to put the
Regents back in front 51-46.
We dont see West as the
hottest three-point shooting

team in the conference, but you
never know, Murphy said.
This is the playoffs, its
March. They came down and
hit three threes and I was kind
of shocked, but we came back,
too.
Bavery was surprised by the
three-pointers as well.
(The three-pointers) were
at big times and they were from
unexpected people, Bavery
said. We knew they were
capable but, for the most part,
theyre always going to do
more damage putting the ball
on the floor than they are from
outside the arc and thats the
way we played it tonight.
Credit to them.
Middleton came back to
take a 58-54 lead on a 3-pointer
by Brogan Brunker followed
by Eadys dunk.
It was an energy boost,
said Eady of the dunk. When I
got the ball I knew I was going
to dunk it. All of it is about
energy, the energy of the team.
I knew that dunk would energize the team.
Said Murphy: I was
pumped. That dunk was crazy
and Tyrees a pretty good basketball player. And Brogan
drained the three. He stepped
up big-time and hes only a
sophomore.
The Regents battled back
again tying the game at 58-58
on a pair of inside baskets by
Larry Hawkins. A layup by
Eady put the Cardinals back
ahead, but a three-pointer by
McFadden gave the Regents a

61-60 lead and started an 8-0
run that pushed Wests lead to
66-60 with6:00remaining.
Four consecutive free
throws by Murphy helped
Middleton pull within 66-64,
but a 7-0 run capped by a
McFadden basket made it 7364 with1:59 to play.
Middleton closed within 7369 on a three-pointer by
Murphy and two free throws by
Brunker, but Hawkins scored
on a putback for West with 46
seconds remaining and the
Cardinals could get no closer
than four points the rest of the
way.
There were a lot of swings
in that game, Murphy said.
Wed be up by four then
theyd come back and be up by
six, wed bring it back to two
that game was a lot of fun.
We would be struggling for a
possession or two then rejoicing after a few possessions
there, but it came down to we
couldnt finish all of our shots
and couldnt stop enough of
them.
West converted on 28-of-55
field goal attempts (50.9 percent) including 7-of-17 from 3point range (41.1 percent).
It seemed like we couldnt
get multiple stops in a row,
Bavery said. Whenever we
needed a big stop they got it
deep, they got to the line,
missed a free throw and got an
offensive rebound, or they got
it deep, missed a shot, but we

didnt get the backside block

out. They played extremely
hard.
Middleton connected on 24of-50 field goals (48 percent)
and 7-of-21 threes (33 percent).
The loss capped a successful
season for the Cardinals who
shared of the Big Eight
Conference title with Madison
Memorial and Sun Prairie
marking the first time
Middleton had won a piece of
the league title since the 2001
season.
That was pretty special to
say we were one of the No. 1
teams in the conference,
Murphy said. So we did something special. I know everyone
had high expectations coming
into the playoffs. We couldnt
quite meet those expectations,
but Im just really proud of this
team, how hard we worked
every single day in practice,
how hard we worked on the
court and the love for everyone
on the team that you cant find
on any other team.
Eady is already looking forward to next season when the
Cardinals will bring back a
nucleus that includes four
returning starters in Eady,
Murphy, Brunker, and C.J.
Fermanich.
